Dopod C730 not able to connect to [email protected]

Hi,
I have got this Dopod C730 phone from M1. After using it, I notice that for certain Wifi connections, it cannot seems to get connected, eg [email protected] located at Jurong Point Mac and Amway Building, any my office wireless network and some other [email protected] But I have no problem connecting to my home wireless and some other Mac/KFC [email protected]
I do get full signal strength for those wifi which cannot be connect, but however, when I try to connect, it will either shows connected for few seconds (but cannot surf) then die off, or cannot be connected. After which when I try again, my phone cannot detect any wifi signal anymore, even for those which can be connected also disappeared! I will need to soft reset my phone to get back the signal.
I have even tried to do a hard-reset (reset to factory setting) under Setting -> Clear Storage, but it doesn't help. The same problem remains. My colleages have Windows Mobile 2005 and Pocket PC 2003 and they have no problem connecting to these Wifi. So I am quite sure is the phone problem.
Have anyone encountered this problem before? Any solution to this as it is really a hassle as when you need wifi connection, you do not know which [email protected] can or cannot get connected.
I have sent it for repair at SIS (Dopod Distributor) but after a week, I did not get any response from them. When I finally called them, they said no problem with the phone. Really a waste of time. Since made several emails to them but they don't seem to response promptly. I have even made an effort to record the problem own on video, sent to them, then they again never response.
Therefore I need those with Dopod C730 to go around to test the [email protected] and if you have this problem, do let me know and we can sent them up for compensation together. If you have any solution, do also let me know.

I have got the same problem connecting my JasJam (Dopod 838Pro) to my Draytek 2820Vn router at home. It detects the available network, looks as if it connects, then drops out. Eventually the access point shows up as "unavailable".
I could connect easily to my old Billion 7402VGO router, which used the same transmission channel (11). Other desktops, notebooks and my son's HP iPaq on PPC2003 connect fine.
Problem seems to be something in WM6 that disagrees with some routers, seemingly the more industrial-strength ones. I have referred the issue to Draytek, but as yet have received no illuminating response.
Not sure what OS your Dopod is running on, but if it's a WM6 variant, it's likely to a similar problem.

I cannot offer a solution only to say that I have similar problems. Connecting to my providers 3G service and to my home wireless router can be a bit problematic but even when connected and I try to find a web page the service will disconnect after a time showing a blank web page with 0bytes downloaded. I am using a Dopod 838 Pro bought in Hong Kong and using in the UK. I am thinking about upgrading from Windows Mobile 6 to 6.1 in the hope that may provide a solution.

internet sharing + charging

Hi
Is anyone experiencing the following problem on T mobile UK or any other network? [t mobile touch plus]
Using your handset as a modem 'internet sharing' the handset will intermittently stop charging for 15 minutes, after using the connection ‘internet sharing for anything up to 30 minutes (connected to a desktop pc or laptop)
Secondly when the phone reaches 100% fully charged using the internet sharing, the handset stop charging and subsequently the phone switches to battery power and as a result you are working against the standby time, which when empty in let say just over an hour you will have to charge the phone again, before you can resume using internet sharing.
Radio version of handset is 1.58.21.24 it’s
The page results from surfing is fine on desktop and handset just the above problem and heating.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated

yes i get that isssue to on my niki on tmobile uk but its only just started doing it recently
try to soft reset it

All my devices, Qtek S100, Qtek S200, HTC Touch dual - they all stops charging in "Internet Sharing" mode.

internet sharing and charging..... the fix
does your handset stop charging then restarts after a little while using internet sharing, if so read below
a few things to check is to try internet connection on another laptop at the location where it is happening,if the fault is present then you have identified the fault is with the handset or network.
your next step is to try internet sharing at a different location from where you are experiencing the fault and see if the fault reoccurs, for me it wasn't until i decided to try internet sharing in another area that i discovered that the fault was network related, even though tmobile were adamant it wasn't (this fault is also related to cases where the handset gets very hot within a short of time whilst using hspda/gprs).
if the above test is carrried out and you identify that it's location based then speak to tmobile (but be persistant)
today my handset can sit idle or surfing for xyz and it is barely warm....
hopes it help

Wifi connected..Signal strong..

Ok so tis is my problem. the Wifi connects fine. i use it for 10 minutes...20 minutes..it works.. then suddenly.. it stops working?
I go to comm manager the Signal quality is full or 3/4 full (dependent on location). it stays connected... the tx rate is 54Mbps and the Rx Rate jumps between 1-54Mbps.. My network is not security protected but no one uses it except me and my computer.
Im using messeneger then it says " messenger trying to reconnect blah blah) then i go to opera and it stopped working too...but its still connected, the signal strength is still strong?
Whats going on?!
My router is a Netgear DG834GT.. I have put my xperia's mac address on the allowed list as well.. i just dont get it?
i have to disconnect and reconnect to get it working..then it lasts another 5 minutes and dies again? Sometimes when i reconnect it still doesnt work so i have to turn off wifi and turn it on 2 or 3 times?

You are not alone, my friend. That's exactly what happened to me, except mine is Belkin.
Someone here (sorry I can't remember) suggest turning off bluetooth solved the problem.

i would try upgrading the firmware of the router it solves many incompatability issues for many people
sometimes my linksys drops data connection so the wifi signal is just a pin
and only fix is to unplug the router for 10sec and replug it
seems to be common that wifi act up at least see people complain in many many forums for wifi able devices

bluetooth is not on at all... Also every other wifi device will connect just fine? why would it work then just stop?

I have no idear only knows that what i wrote fix it in many cases for many people

i have wifi on even in standby tweaked...did you guys tweak anything? like auto off or anything?

nop i just use wpa AES
but as i said i update my wifi router with the latests firmware when
ever linksys updated it and believe me they updated it often

is anyone facing this problem or faced it before then fixed it?

if it's not your router as Rudegar suggests (one way to test, try over a different wifi elsewhere) then I wonder if your wifi is powering down for some reason?

Hey guys...having the same problem. Firstly I had trouble connecting to Wifi with the Xperia...then I updated the router firmware...now I can connect to Wifi but it does nothing, I cannot surf the net, I cannot connect to Skype I cannot connect to Windows live, cannot check my mail, etc...
Any ideas? Bluetooth etc not on at all...

WIFI Issues

I've had my Nexus for about a week now and noticed two strange issues with the WIFI connection.
1. I can connect to WIFI successfully at home but as soon as I go out and it switches to the 2G network and then later go back inside the WIFI doesn't auto connect it will stay on 2G, I have to disable and enable WIFI to connect to my home WIFI, is there a way round this or is it a bug?
2. Whenever I'm out an about and the phone detects a WIFI network even if its not configured to connect to the WIFI network the phone seems to disable 2G Data connection and continually notifies me of a WIFI network being in range and wanting to configure it, is there anyway of disabling this behavior and allowing the 2G Data connection to be active when no configured WIFI network are in range?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jon

Really can't help you much on the settings as I don't quite have my N4 but you should always turn wifi off when you're not using it. You will get much better battery and you wont have problem with #2. Sorry I couldn't really help much.

I have the same issue number 1. I find the battery is getting used quickly and the wifi will not connect. if i disable then enable, it quickly connects to the known wifi signal. I can see a different battery decay slope if I let this problem persist for a few hours, it then reverts to its usual slope once wifi is restarted. This problem usually only occurs once a day on average. I hope someone knows how to solve this issue.
cheers

[Q] UK note 3 users. wifi problem with virgin media router

I sent my note 3 (sim free n9005) to repair one month ago because a sensor didn't work (another story). Now the sensor problem has been fixed. But there is another issue. The wifi keeps dropping. I mean wifi is completely turned off on my phone, then it tries to turn on, and off again... I have googled a while,it's not the wifi is slow, it's the wifi is completely turned off then it tries to turn it on, and keeps turning on and off. At first it happens occasionally and it can be turned on. Until several days ago, wifi could not be turned on at all. If I go into setting - connection - wifi, I will see it says 'turning on' but nothing happens. Reboot helps sometimes but the issue soon reappear. I did factory reset but no use. I would think it's the phone's problem. But When I go outside and test in public wifi (university wifi, MacDonald etc), it got no problem at all. So I began to think maybe there is something with the router. So I turned off my router, the wifi is turned on immediately and I can see all the wifi connections from my neighbours.
My router is virgin media netgear vmdg485 (100M fiber optical). I googled it, it seems specially made for Virgin media. It's a modem/router all-in-one device. Just wondering has anyone else got similar experience? B.T.W all other devices in my home connect to the wifi no problem at all. I think they may have upgraded my android software on the repair. I never had this problem before the repair. But android is the latest version (checked in settings). So I don't know what option I have on software side. Probably I need to try a new router?
And also I have tried everything I found on Internet (turn off switch network etc in advanced setting in wifi. turn off power saving for wifi, disable wifi direct/share, etc).

Hi,
I had a similar problem with my note and was advised to go into the wifi settings and deactivate "Scanning always available" and "Auto network switch".
I had this problem with a Virgin media router and where android was under the impression the connection was unstable it was deactivating the wifi to go back to the cellular.
This may be completely wrong but it solved it for me.
Hope this helps!

I had this issue and the only thing that solved it was a factory reset.

I had a similar problem with my Note 3 (SM-N9005) and Virgin Superhub 1
I hadn't previously noticed problems with wi fi at home when using different phones in the same location.
After much reading on support forum I concluded that many Superhub users believe the device is not very effective when operating as both a cable modem + wi fi router.
I opted for an expensive solution of buying a new wi fi router.
My Superhub now operates just as a cable modem and is connected via ethernet cable to the adjacent Asus RT-AC66U which does have the advantage of 802.11 ac.
Speed test result from Note 3 via wi fi setup described above.

Thanks paul, mine is super hub as well. I want to get a router to test, but worring if it doesn't solve the issue.

wow, that router is a lot of money, really hope it's not the router issue.
