Hi guys,
I have the XDA Neo for a couple of days, I really love the device, and everything works fine (not counting the many hours until I finally got it to sync with my laptop), however one last thing remains to be done - to finally get on the internet using WiFi. I'm experiencing the following problem:
I can connect to the Access Point in my home, however, I can't open a single page, nor does Skype connect. The access point uses MAC-Filtering, but my MAC has been entered in the table and I do get a valid IP-adress. I'm not sure if it is the correct MAC though, but it should be, I took it form Settings->Connections->Wireless Lan *Second tab. When I open IE and enter a web page (google or anything) address it displays "searching" in the status bar, and after a while sais that the page cannot be opened. I tried the WLAN on campus at my university, and still can't get in, I know I need a vpn client, but without it I still should at least be redirected to an info page, as it happens with my laptop when vpn is not activated. On campus IE remains with "opening" in the status bar, but no page is displayed even after around 10 minutes of waiting...
So I'm wondering if it is something software, or could it be a hardware issue? Any help would be appreciated!
Greets,

Really, no idea? I'm still experiencing the same problem...
mmm.. well I can't say for sure what your problem is, but i can take an educated guess... maybe you set one of your connections to use a proxy? if i recall correctly when you want to use the o2 flat you have to set up a proxy, this may very well be the cause of your problem! you also might wanna try out to delete all connections you set up already...
please let me know if i pointed you in the right direction.
Hi Dater,
Thanx for the reply! There's no proxy set up on any of the connections I have tried, and I have tried deleting them numerous times, without change. The thing is, I do receive a valid IP adress, but never get any page opened... I use the same settings on my laptop, and can surf the net just fine..
Thanx anyways!
Greets,
Boyan
Can you see the windows network and your other pc's? Use something like Resco file explorer to map a drive.
Problem solved . Actually Dater's post pointed me towards it, I'm not sure if he meant the same thing I did, but definelty got me thinking. The deal was that
Start->Settings->Connections->Connections->More and then Properties was set to o2Wap, changing it to ISP solved the problem. Anyways, it is fuctioning now, thanx a lot for the help
Cheers,
Boyan
Of course, that is exactly what I meant!
I was just not able to properly express my thoughts since English is not my native tongue hehe... (that's always a good excuse!)
Bin auf jedenfall glücklich dir weitergeholfen haben zu können!
Have a wonderful day!
I suppose it was I who misunderstood what you said . I thought that the proxy settings should be somewhere in Netzwerkkarten or Drahtlos, but they were somewhat, mmm, hidden, or at least I had some trouble finding them easily (fun thing is, I am a communications technologies student, lol ). Anyways, it works like a charm now.
Also nochmal viellen Dank, speziell an Dater!
? help, wlan problem ?
Hallo,
i am in Germany too and i have a similar problem with o2 neo (Prophet):
my WLan works only one time!? This means e.g. in IE, i see the first website, but i cannot see any next links/websites. In order to procede to the next page i have to switch wifi off and again on. I use a home wlan-connection WPA-PSK with TKIP.
Thanks for your help

On a PC, you can go to http://wap.oa.yahoo.com, and login to your yahoo account to read your emails, etc.
If I do the same from my XDA2, it says "Unable to connect: Ensure that your modems are present and inserted correctly, and no network card present".
If I try this with any other web site (e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk) it connects and works fine.
Does anyone else get this, and does anyone know a way around it?
Thanks!
On my XDA, http://wap.oa.yahoo.com works fine.
But WAP stinks on a capable device like the XDA or XDAII. Why not use http://www.yahoo.com instead, or set up your Inbox to download your Yahoo headers and/or messages?
can i realy do that?? setup INBOX for yahoooo???
please show me how! i couldnt even set the outlook express on PC to do that!
thanks a million.

You can only do this if you pay extra for POP3 access to Yahoo emails - which I don't want to do as this isn't my primary email account.
Also, going through http://www.yahoo.com means you get all the ads, graphics, etc. Even over a GPRS line, this makes it quite painfull.

I just got a new XDA II and I could access Yahoo without problems. After an involutary hard reset all the O2 stuff got installed (seems it was not installed the first time I used the device), and now I'm having the same problem as you're describing. Has O2 added something "clever" so that if it sees "wap" in the path, it thinks it should use a wap connection? In any case I can't find these settings and delete it. I want it to work as it did before the hard reset! Help!
Try wsp://wap.oa.yahoo.com insted of http://wap.oa.yahoo.com
HTTP = PC
WSP = WAP
8)
cheers
WSP doesn't work either. Probably because that signals even more to the computer that you're trying to establish a WAP connection, which I don't want to do and which isn't set up either. The funny thing is that it worked before the hard reset, and I never had any problems on my old XDA I.
I managed to remove all the O2 stuff from the extended ROM, and after a hard reset, I can now access http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail again! Once you access http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail, the path changes to http://wap.oa... and from this point on it complained. Until I removed the O2 stuff. So now I'm happy it works, but I'd still like to know what settings O2 infiltrated to stop it from working. Does anyone have a clue?

I think it have something to do with Connection settings and or Registery settings for Browser ID string (User ID String)
example:
Of youre browser ID is "Mozilla/4.0(compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; PPC; 240x320)" Than you w'll get a diffrent page if you have something else.
After I changed my Browser ID (to see more free stuff from orange GRPS/Orange World) I cant get the colored page of Yahoo Too.
Can you post here youre Browser ID please?
To see youre browser ID string, Visit http://www.showip.com on youre PPC, and let me know please.
Cheers
I just bought an XDA2i and am having the same problem with the mobile Yahoo site. Since nobody has managed to unlock the extended ROM in XDA2i yet , I cannot remove the O2 stuff that is causing the problem (forcing a different connection for web adresses starting with "wap"). On my XDA2 i could unlock the extended ROM and remove the O2 bits, and this solved the problem. With XDA2i I'm stuck...
Enough is enough.
I had the same **** with my old PDA2K and now again with the Exec... I've spent 20 hours thus far on that ****. I just hard reset my machine yesterday and now again this **** happens and I cannot fix it.
I am surfing using UMTS/GPRS.. My definitions are FINE. There's only one connection. It was always fine that way on both the pda2k and the new exec.. but it stopped working now... it could be that some program messed up this ****, but i wouldn't know which.
Trying to browse to a site.. I get PIE saying 'Locating..." then after a minute or so saying "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded blah blah blah"... But the 3GUMTS is connected just fine.. Note that MSN Messenger doesn't work as well (I think that's because it's uses the core engine the PIE uses). Strangely, using networking utilities (vx) I can ping with the machine and even get HTML pages using web addresses. So the problem is not DNS and not a connection problem.. Just probably some damn problem with the operating system not recognizing something.. The 3rd party vxutilities for networking are bypassing that **** hence why they can browse the network just fine.
Tried deleting temp internet files and cookies nada... I also tried soft reset (about 20 times).. nada.... tried deleting the connection and recreating... nada... tried searchiong the registry for my connection name after deleted to see if traces exists.. nada...
Getting tired of this ****.. only hardreset solved it last time and i'm getting sick of becoming the machine's slave rather then the machine being my slave.
Help would be grately apprecaited..... I am sure it's ****ed up registry entry or something like that... I don't have many programs isntalled on my machine as I just hard reseted yesterday and my machine is in rather clean condition except for must have apps.
Help...SOS..
Check your proxy server info (in connections).
My XDA exec just loves to grab my work proxy server and try use that for accessing the web when wifi is active.

Thanks for trying to help...
but that's not the issue.. it's wwaayy deeper than that... ( i would have found it after 20 hours of trying had it been this easy ...
No proxy whatsoever. I never used Wifi. No work setup.. only "My ISP Setup".
anybody else? I'm offering $20 by paypal for the kind soul who can help stop my frustration WITHOUT hardresetting my machine or doing drastic moves. I need a permanent solution. If I solve it before so.. I will post my fix here...
UPDATE:
It's working now, though I don't like the solution, I changed in 'Connections' to connect through 'My Work Network' although I don't actually have any work network and I'm using it the same way I used the "My ISP" connection. It may stop working again though. i'll update.. but I still don't get it why the normal My ISP which always worked stopped working.
Are you, maybe, using the SBSH Weather?Are you, maybe, using the SBSH Pocket Weather?

com'on someone please help me out here. i'll donate another 20 euro to this site if i find a solution... What I did yesterday (changed it so that it will use only the 'My work' profile both both internet and work worked fine.. but only for 24 hours. it now doesn't work again even after multiple softresets as well as deleting and defining the account again.. what a frustartion.
Now only that i cannot use PIE, I cannot use Terminal Server as well.. which is a bummer
Toggle flight mode on and then off.
Have ever try to remove check box of proxy in network tab? With mine it works.
proxy issue
I noticed the same thing on my wizard, I think it may be caused by an internet explorer automatic configuration script. When I manually provide the ip address and port number of the proxy server, the problem does not appear. I changed this in Internet Explorer running on my PC and in the Work connection on my phone. I have also changed the setting in Active Sync to choose the Work Network setting by default instead of automatic.
The only way I got Internet Explorer back to work was after a hard reset.
It did not happen again in the past 1,5 week. I have been restoring the same backup after each of these hardresets so I had an identical install everytime. It seems to be fine now.
I don't know how WM5 handles Active Directory policies (if it handles them at all) that may change your IE settings as well.

Re: proxy issue
"Check your proxy server info (in connections).

My wizard does the same, it will work for a week or so and try using some random proxy for no reason!
I just uncheck the proxy tick box and the wifi connection works great with internet explorer. (well usually I tear my hear out for 5 mins and then realise its the proxy!)

i had same problem! but opera browser would work fine!

all working fine now inc spb weather
PIE stuck at Locating
Hi mobiler,
I hope you have found a more permanent solution to your problem. I own an MDA Pro with TMobile UK and recently bacame plagued with the same symptoms which you reported, i.e., pocket explorer and opera mobile stuck at locating and not able to browse the web. Through some helpful suggestions on this thread I managed to find a solution which you may or may not have already tried. Like most people, I use my MDA pro at home on my home wireless Wifi network, and while away at work I use its GPRS/UMTS capabilities. I had no reason to think that these two features of the MDA Pro had any interactions with each other. In fact, I seem to remember reading somewhere that separate pieces of internal hardware provide these features. However, to my surprise/dismay I discovered that somehow the Wifi and GPRS/UMTS settings on the MDA pro are linked together. For example, if you setup a proxy server in the GPRS modem settings, which I recently did, without notifying you the Wifi connection also tries to use the same proxy setting. Vice versa if you setup a specific IP address and Gateway in your Wifi settings the GPRS modem connection also tries to use those settings and failing. The solution for getting back to normal internet browsing was to remove the proxy in modem connection by using its automatic settings ,and to tick the server assigned IP address for Wifi. This is a less than satisfactory solution, however, at least things are back to where they were before. I remain very puzzled at the interaction between these features and am dismayed and frustrated that there is nothing in the step by step procedures in each setting that warn you about a possible impact on the other.
I have a rather strange issue with my GPRS connections.
Everything worked fine until probably something was changed by an installation or something yesterday....
Now PIE connects to GPRS, but says "it cannot download"
Opera though works perfectly.
Worldmate says it cannot connect.
Flexmail works perfectly.
The most peculiar is that the above also apply when I am using the dock as an Internet pass-through....
Should I guess that the programs that access the Web but utilising PIE's settings fall under the same group?
How can I solve this? (the most recent thing I did was to unchech USB advanced functionality, but this should not be it.....!)
Thanks in advance
I found it ! (?)
I found out that there was a proxy setting (I don't know how it got there or if it was in the first place!).
I removed it completely and now everything is back to normal!
I have the same problem. Where did you find this proxy settings to be deleted?
I tried a lot of things but this strange PE does not work

Would advise that if things were working ok until recently and even if not, that you take note of the settings before deleting them so they can be re-entered if necessary.

Thanks but PIE does not work still
I switched off the Proxy but PIE does not work through GPRS
I have a weird issue with world mate... mailed their support but guess their typing fingers went on a strike after the first reply...anyway all my other services seem to be happy with my internet connection and work without problems but my weather service works fine for the first few updates after a fresh install and then start giving connection not found error...any suggestions please...
It has to be a proxy setting. Your other option would be to completely delete gprs connection and recreate it.

hey guys i hope you can help. Heres my problem:
the preinstalled browsers like opera and IE cant use my internet connection (gprs). it seems like they dont habe the permission to use it because if i hit the "enter" key there nothing happening in the IE. In opera there coming that its a network problem.
In th R1 firmware it was like this: i entered an adress, i hit enter, on the top of my screen a bubble popped up telling me the gprs connection is established. in R2 firm it just does nothing. theres coming no bubble.
Anybody know how to fix this? it's pretty mad to have an high-end business phone which cant connect to the internet!
Check the internet settings!
Or set them manually - call your operator.

It is definately a Problem with Windows Mobile! The Beta Version of Mozilla's Fennec can connect to the internet. But its so damn slow that i dont wanna use it! So, any solutions ?
There is an other browser called Skyfire. I use that one all the time and I love it. I think it is stable, fast and good looking. You even can go to YouTube with it. Give it a try!

back again. now i know why the programs cant access the internet, but i dont know how to solve it they try to connect to a VPN connection which is not existing. Also i cant set up a UMTS connection.

Hello
I use Fishtext on my HD2 however I am having some big ass problems with the GRPS setting. I think it is something to do with the JAVA (JBLEND) program.. Can any one help?
I get a message saying that is it unable to connect to the server. I am connected to the next.
Thank you
Can any one help
I have the best phone in the world and I cannot get Fishtext to work. Keeping on saying cannot connect. Check GPRS SETTING.
I have tried everything
Please help
do other programs work ok over gprs? can you surf the web? (turn off 3g to test )
FISHTEXT
Yes. I can do everything. Internet, skype, straming music.. You name it I can do it.. FISHTEXT. no..
does fish text require you to connect to a special server?
have you emailed fish text support? more likely to get an answer from them than from here.
Ip address
IT does connect to a special IP address. I have thought it my be the JAVA???
I have tried the support. Not very good at all.
just been to their site and they have a special page just for people with gprs problems. did you look through that?(it also means that chances are it isn't the phone at fault)
http://www.fishtext.com/GPRS/
hmmm sorry don't think I can help then. I get free texts in my contract so I've never used a service like fish text. sorry.
