Does wifi turn on? (Does the left LED blink like it does when wifi is turned on?)
If not, then it could be related to a cingular cab - did you install any of the cabs from the original cingular extended rom?

left led does blink.
ive also gotten as far as picking up a network.
i have tried everything, i cannot get my wifi to work at all. i dont know whats up.
the settings i needed (which i replicated for the new rom) on the old rom, was this
I would select networks, MY work network, this connects to the internet.
then in the WLAN adapter i had to manual enter my dns servers.
thats pretty much it to get it to work, but now with this rom it wont

Similar or different problem? Not sure. PARTLY SOLVED!

Hi NG,
I updated my O2 XDA mini s (German) from OS 1.3.4.2 to 2.16.9.1. (Radio 02.07.10 included). To be honest, I was never really happy with the quality and reliabilty of the radio. 4 out of 5 times it did work, but once in a while, especially while roaming, it gave me a headache. After unlocking and updating to the new version, WLAN looks to be working quite well, at least for connecting to access points, but it seems that it can't browse external websites. VXutils give back a socket error trying to access external (outside my home network) websites/Email.
Internal (inside my home network) connections work like a charm. Termincal Services client accesses my Win2003 Server no problem and I can also connect to a website hosted on my internal server. (http://servername:port).
Whenever I try to connect to external sources, the browser stops afer not successfully "locating" the respective server. On the other hand locating might not be the problem. Performing a ping to an external site with VXutils properly picks up the right ip address but cannot send/receive ping!
GPRS works as supposed. Can connect to sites with no problem.
May be somebody experiences the same problem or, even better, has a solution.
By the way I used @Work for all possible settings. The work profile is set up for both connection types.
Besides that, the new rom is really nice
EDIT Well after some time playing around, I have solved the problem or better the problem partly disapeared. In 'Settings' 'Network Adapters' I switched from Use server-assigned IP address to manual and entered IP, DNS, Gateway, etc. With these settings it everything worked after a soft-reset. Going back to DHCP and soft-reset, it first worked an now it doesn't anymore. At least there is a work around and I'm trying now some other things. All machines currently work with the DHCP settings correct. I will check and keep you updated if the problems comes from Server settings or from something in the PDA EDIT

i get as far as NETWORKS being detected. when i select one of the 3 that i pick up, i cannot connect. My own, pops up, and i get as far as entering the network key, then it tries to connect and doesnt.
this happens WITH or WITHOUT the DNS servers manualy entered in. anyone with some knowledge care to chime in and assist? thanks!

I can't get my WiFi card to initialize. After the upgrade, the card stays off. LED doesn't light. Is there a driver somewhere I could try to load?

did you change your Wizard to 802.11g. I found that once I did that, the card stopped working.. the setting was 4, but when i changed it to 8 it stopped worked..
it was some registry key. 802dotg or something ..
sorry i cant rember excatly.

Danrw. Concerning the registry settings, after patching the os I did change the registry settings. One already existed with the right value as shown in the 802.11g thread. The other one, DotG, I added.
After that, it did pick up a only G router!
As far as setting DNS manually. It is not enough to just cange the dns setting. You have to enter all the information and even after a soft-reset it takes some time to have the settings picked up... Use vxUTIL 'Info'-Screen to check the current settings. I did test wlan before and after applying packages from the extended rom. No change on reliability or performance on WLAN IMHO.
As far as I understand. Your problem is actually connecting to the router/Access Point. For testing please disable all security on your router and do a soft-reset before trying to access. Also since we have heard of several problems with model 9100 not realizing if an access point is available or not. Also change the SSID of your router and if possible the MAC Address of the router.
Don't forget to soft-reset and first try SDIO Adapter inyour pda with auto IP/DNS/etc. settings.
Another thought. Embarassing, but once I messed around with trying to get a new pda online and forgot to disable the mac filter settings in the router, which resulted in being able to see the active router but it didn't let me connect. After those two days I was missing a lot of hair.
Good luck
Lars

I did but only the minimum. I trimmed down their install to the basics. I narrowed it down to one of two CABs. Either the gprsstall or EnableEONS. I didn't install either of those and I"m now back up and running. Of course, I still can't get it to prefer WiFi to EDGE.

I had experienced the same problem with home wifi network after upgrading my rom. I saw in my laptop that the key was set to 2. I went to the network cards, clicked on my wifi network, and under Network Key swithed the value from 1 to 2. I can now connect to my wifi network at home.

I do not know if my solution will work for you because I upgraded my rom to 2.16 but lets give it a try. I use d-link DI-524 wifi router. Start menu > Settings > Connections (tab) > Network Cards [I must admit earlier today when I was trying to connect my k-jam to the wifi, I did get as far as it asking me for my authentication code and afterwards it timed-out] --> select your wifi network [at this moment as I'm trying this out my wifi on my k-jam is off] --> Network Key (tab) > it was the key index that I had to change from 1 to 2. Before doing this though, go to your router's wireless configuration page through your webbrowser and make sure the keyX (it looks for d-link this can be from key1 to key4 or at least on mine) and make sure the key index you select on your mda is the same number that is used on your router for code authentication.
Also I noticed after resetting my k-jam that I could get connected to my wifi but I could not surf, in wifi setting on my k-jam I had to hit renew ip and then I was able to surf.
I hope this works for you. Good luck and many late nights.

no luck with this for me
even tried removing wep all together. tried multiple routers.
i can detect the ssid's, but i cant connect to them. times out on the connect.

Mine worked no problem...you may already have had this suggestion but here was my process.
Unlocked with lokwiz
Upgraded
Reset before extended ROM apps installed
Installed total commander
deleted extended ROM
Upgraded again

i re-installed the CINGULAR ROM and WiFi works like a charm
......any clues?

Here's what I ended up finding out for mine. First, at the time I wrote this, I was running the 2.16 ROM. Now I'm running the 2.17, but the fix is the same with either.
Don't load the cingular add-ins GPRSSTALL or EONS. I narrowed it down to those two that were causing the issue. So, the only ones I install now are CingularMMSAccount, EdgeIcon, TimeStyle, WiFiRate4, and SmartDialingEnable. Thats it, and its all I've seen to be necessary from Cingular's little bundle 'o fun. Everything else I haven't found interferes with my ability to use the phone at all.
Hope this helps...

wi fi connection problem

Hi,
My mini s seems to have a problem connecting to my home network. When i switch the wi fi on it searches but does not connect. I hard reset a coyuplke of day ago and switch on the wifi and it found my network then promted to enter key, which i did. The phone then connected no problem. No when i switch wifi on it doesnt connect. I go into network cards tab and look what networks are available and my network is there with available next to it but the options have all change (key be given out auto etc...) so i change them to the correct ones etc.. but still it doesnt connect? What i'm i doing wrong? I has worked in the past but not now. I have not installed and 3rd party software and my router is working fine (laptop downstairs works no problem off network).
any ideas
cheers

hi,
i just reseted my router and renamed my homenetwork and assigned a newwep key. started wifi on mini s and it connected straight away to the my newly named network. switch wifi off then on again and now it wont connect. it see's the network and says its available but wont connect. under the settings the network key has changed. it's defo a problem with the phone cus everything else works fine (laptop, psp). it's just not saving the network info???
and ideas???
cheers

think it could be because i've upgraded to o2 new rom??? Could somebody with the latest UK o2 rom please confirm that ther can connect to the networ?
cheers

This also happens to me with the latest O2 ROM.
What you have to do is to manually connect and perservere by going to Network Cards, tapping the network and then select Connect. It may take a few go's but it will connect eventually.
Report back how you get on.
You may want to set up your router to assign a fixed IP address to the Mini S's MAC address as well.

Sounds like the problem I've been having. I've also got an O2 rom and am having problems connecting to any wifi network, even though it worked fine the first time.
I've tried going to the network cards page and clicking connect, but it hasn't worked so far. talkingbollox - when you say 'eventually', how long are you talking?
I'll also try assigning a fixed ip address later, but my hopes aren't high.

Sometimes 2 attempts, sometimes up to 20.
Persevere!

20! I probably tried about 10 times before I gave up. Surely this is a fault. You shouldn't have to waste so much time just to get a connection! :x
I tried MAC address filtering too but that didn't seem to work.
Do you think this is a O2 ROM problem or a hardware problem? If it's just O2, I think I might try a different ROM. Any suggestions which ROM to use?

My Mini S came already with the latest rom I think, and it works fine with my router (BT Voyager 2110)
Are you guys using the 802.11g reg edit?? Maybe thats why its not working, I actually did the hack before I ever turned on my wifi so I don't know if it worked without it. Try it My wizard connects with my router in G only 8)
Search the forum you will find loads of posts about it, and I think somebody has even made a cab file that does it for you, along with some speed tweeks that make your system faster.

It must have taken me in excess of 40 goes to connect last night.
Yes, I am using the g mode hack. My Voyager 2100 is set to broadcast in both b and g (i.e. mixed) mode.

I had the same problem... what I did was just entering the dns adress of my router.
So the ppc doesn't wait for the dhcp server to asign it .. it works great when surfing at home !!!

HTC Touch Diamond - secured Wi-Fi stopped working

Hi,
I've recently become an owner of HTC Touch Diamond and I've been able to set up everything except wi-fi. I've tried to look everywhere in settings, I've searched for a solution on the internet but even though it seems I'm not the only person with this problem, nobody was able to give a certain solution.
The problem seems to be in secured Wi-Fi networks because when I try to connect to open network, it works fine, but whenever I try to connect to one of my home routers (WPA-PSK, TKIP) or at school (WPA, TKIP, 802.1X) it just says connecting... connecting... and then it goes not available and I can try it again but it never succeeds. I've tried all different kinds of options, nothing changed. One strange thing is the fact that the first time I turned on my HTC, it worked, but that was just for once.
I'm using the last official ROM and I haven't made too many changes in configuration, I just used tweakers such as Diamond Tweak, Diamond TF3D Config and Advanced Config to adjust some behavior.
Please, can anyone help me out? Thanks.

i think it posibli an certificate error from your acces point, for example in spain at university we use eduroam, it is wpa2, with ttls, that is not suported by ms mobile, but we can install and use secure2w.
in house i use wpa and i not have any problem conecting to mi ap, check if this is the problem, alse try another rom with a new xip and newer os

We also have eduroam at school and actually I was able to install the certificate so that shouldn't be the problem, anyways I'll try to use the secure2w program you're talking about. It might help...
But still, it doesn't explain why I can't connect to my home router which is definitely supported security (WPA-PSK, TKIP) and why I was able to connect to it once and from then I haven't been to. As I said in my first post, I think I'm not the only person because I found a few people with similar problems on the internet but nobody was able to solve or at least detect the cause of the problem.
I just remembered that I should point out that there shouldn't be any problem with my router configuration (such as MAC filtering and so on), also it's not the only one my HTC doesn't want to connect to, generally it's any secured router.

My problem is solved. I don't really know the basic reason but it was caused by Advanced Configuration Tool where I set some options (Networking - WPA and something else) to default values (as it said) but that was wrong. You need to set it to the other value and then it works.

platinix iu seem to have exactly the same problem you have dscribed ive messed around with network settings on adavnced config but to no prevail could you please tell you network settings it would be a great help
thanks

Hi,
I am sorry but I do not remember it exactly. I looked there and I think it was the option WPA authentication, I have it on disabled now. Try it. It really pain in the ass!

MAC
Haai there
Make sure your router permits your MAC address.

ditto: WPA Authentication was the prob
Thanks for the thread, it helped me find the problem I introduced with my 3-day-old Verizon HTC Touch Pro.
I'd installed .NET CF 3.5 (via a .cab file, not the ActiveSync) and the Advanced Configuration Tool and one of the tweaks I did was enable "WPA authentication". Sure seemed like a good idea. Turned out that's what kept my device from connecting to my home WPA/TKIP wifi network.
Disabling "WPA authentication" in the Advanced Configuration Tool cleared things up immediately. ... Well, immediately after the reboot anyway.

I reported on this issue in the Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool thread. The wording & logic are the wrong way around - what you think is enabling WPA is actually disabling it. I edited the .XML file and corrected this so mine looks OK now, however I don't think the original has ever been updated.
Its hard work searching on here but I did manage to find it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2840229&highlight=Disable#post2840229
Since there are other WPA2 settings that can be customised (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa916274.aspx) I updated the XML file I have so these settings are available.

Can't connect to WiFi using Touch HD

Hi everyone.
First off, I know there are a million and one other threads.. believe me.. I have searched!
Basically my phone won't connect to my network. It was working fine earlier today. I've tried changing all the security settings in my router (turning off encryption for example). I've tried soft resetting and hard resetting the phone.
Nothing seems to be working. It finds the network fine, but it just says 'Connecting' then goes to 'Available' but it won't use the wifi connection.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Have you tried connecting your device using a friends wifi router to see if this connect you

Nope. I forgot to add that I will try connecting to work's WiFi tomorrow!
Anything to try in the mean time?

Try these:
1) disable frame bursting
2) disable big packets and other methods of wifi speeding
3) force 11b
4) use WPA-PSK TKIP only
5) check if you have MAC or other access filtering
than let us know

1) Can't see any settings under my router.
2) Tried disabling gnitro (Belkin router), no difference.
3) No difference
4) Already on that.
5) Turned off.
It's so odd. Works fine with an N95.
I don't think it's anything to do with my router because like I said it worked fine earlier on in the day then suddenly stopped. The router settings hadn't changed.
Edit: I've tried turning the router security off altogether also. I really don't feel it's an issue with my router.

Tested the phone at work. It works fine.. so I don't have a clue why it's not working at home? Surely the router can't be incompatible with the phone.. especially considering it worked at one point.

Very weird! I got fed up with my router so decided to restore the factory defaults and start from scratch.. worked straight away! So I restored the settings back to exactly how they were before (using a backup file I made).. and it worked!
Just posting incase it happens to anyone else anyway.

Maybe uve tried this already but could be the fact that your home internet access point is listed as Work rather than internet, used to have an issue with mine cause of that.

I also have this problem.
Reset did not help.
Listed as internet or work did not help in both cases.
Real weird!!

I've got the same problem, all of a sudden my hd won't connect to my router.
I can connect to open networks (wi-fi hotspots etc) so i know the wifi in the phone is working ok and my partners diamond can connect ok to my router, so the router is obviously ok.
Have reset the router as well and haven't changed any settings on the phone.
Don't understand!!!!

as other users point out within other threads, it seems that Blackstone has a problem connecting to wifi networks when WPA Authentification is enabled
try to disable it. it worked for me and soem other guys
good luck!

I could connect to my router fine using my laptop.. but I still had to reset my router to the factory settings before it worked again on my Touch HD.. then I could enable WPA and everything back again. So try that!

i thought i had a similiar problem, mine wouldnt connect to wifi, kept switching itself off. figured this is normal when its connected to usb. unplug usb and it turns back on!

I own an HTC Touch HD since January and have a similar problem, only it surfaced last week. Before I had only used the WiFi connectivity briefly. The problems started after I installed an AP on my house expressively for the new PDA. The node is fully open and set to B/G/N protocols.
After a couple days of medium (couple hours per day) use the WiFi connection suddenly quit, the device would try to connect (the top bar showing the WiFi connection animation continuously) and after a few moments gave up with a dialog box stating the current network settings were wrong (even thou they worked fine a few hours earlier).
I tried several hot and cold resets, but only solved the problem after flashing a new ROM; even then the same symptoms reappeared after a couple of days of regular use. Again no re-setting would cure the problem, and now not even flashing the ROM again would work. Nonetheless, some hours latter the WiFi would connect perfectly with the same nodes it refused to before, and in very short time.
I have witnessed this cycle twice and have yet not been able to find a trigger for it, but will keep my eyes open for any tell tale signs, and post any findings here.

Hi
I used to have problem using any secure wireless connection. Then I realized that you need a personal certificate to use secure wireless networks. It uses certificate to encrypt connection between access point. I have access to a windows certificate server so I created a personal certificate with private key and import it to my mobile. Now I can login to any secure wireless network.

That solution doesn't seem to work for this problem.
Resetting the router does seem to work.
I don't get why resetting the router works.... other devices can still connect no problems before resetting, so it only seems to be aproblem with the hd.
It also sux when you are using a public router with this problem that you can't reset.

Connecting to Belkin router
Guys, I had the same problem as well. HTC touch HD used to connect to the router fine but after installing an update/upgrade it would pick the signal from the router but would not connect. (I was using WEP authentication at this time)
SOLUTION:
Go to belkin router configuration on the web.
Under security change the Securtiy Mode to WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK)
Change authentication to WPA-PSK
Select Encryption to TKIP and enter your password.
GO to your HTC touch HD's WiFi setting and turn Wifi ON. Select your home network SSID and edit it using the information you used on the router i.e. WPA-PSK ; TKIP, enter your key/password and click next, next and finish.
Worked for me....hope it helps.

WIFI not connecting
That truly is extremly nasty.
I have the same issue - wifi found, correct password (WEP, WPA all settings) but no successful connection.
Took an old HTC 3xxx - runs immediately.
I can not reset the router - there are too many users, they will kill me then.
So I installed an Access point (Sparklan WX 7800A) to play with.
Notebooks (HP, MSI and ASUS) have successful internet access, also the old HTC 3xxx.
But still the HTC HD does not connect.
Tried "WIFI Monster" - shows the wifi, but does not connect.
(But it deletes all wifi entries easily - so you can set them up new)
Tried with NO security/password: same issue.
WEP, WPA (all kinds): no connection
There must be something to be changed in the registry - but I have no idea what & where.
Or is the wifi that useless ?????
Maybe someone can help
Ciao
Mike

I had the same problem. But the problem stopped when i connect my htc HD to my laptop and used activesync to connect to internet. After i disconnected it, open wifi and... works ok!!

HD2 Suddenly Wont Load Pages Via Wifi

Hey guys, my hd2 was working fine connection wise using 3g or wifi but a couple of hours ago, whilst connected to my wifi network I cannot load any pages using opera or internet explorer. There is nothing wrong with the wifi network as im using it now on my pc to type this message,
The wierdest thing is, I can still browse the router config page by typing the router ip address into opera (192.168.1.1) etc. But when I go to any external page I get the error: "could not locate remote server"
Has anyone ever come accross this before?
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Ive already deleted the network from the hd2 and added it again but im getting the same thing. Ive also done a soft reset but still the same

Sorry, have no solution .. just want to report that I am having the exact same problem. WiFi connects, but no web pages can be loaded ... Any hint is welcome.

Can you guys check what IP-adress you have during this error?
You find the IP-adress by going to ConnManager -> WLAN-> Advanced -> Advanced (I have swedish rom so I might have translated the titles wrong).

For me, I can tell that I have an IP (169.254.248.92) which is not in the address range of my router. I suspect it is an IP of my mobile operator, from the GSM/UMTS connection the HD2 had before WiFi was connected.

i have ip 192.168.1.1
my router ip is 192.168.1.254

i just managed to get this problem sorted. i looked at the settings for my wireless adapter and for some reason the ip address was configjred fo 192 168 1 1. i changed it to auto and eveything is working fine now. i should have suspected this earlier but as i didnt change any settings i just ruled it out

I have this problem too. Do you do these changes to your phone or your router?

In my phone.

Could you run/instruct me through this please?

Hi, I just had the same problem and I thought I was going to have to do a hard reset until I found this thread. This site is great - answers for everything.
How I did it:
- go to settings
- menu at the bottom right
- more
This brings you to what I think are the Windows mobile settings.
- Connections ( or similar)
- WLAN
-Wireless network ( the upper box)
- tab at bottom for network cards
-there are 2 802.11 adapters listed. Check both and make sure the IP address is given by the server.
Sorry if some of the descriptions may be wrong above but I have the German version.
It worked for me so good luck.
Why it happened? - no idea. Anybody any ideas how to stop it from happening again?

Think I might have the same issue
IP adress might not be correct.
However I have to confess (with humility) that I did not manage to see what was the IP adress configured on my HD2.
Can someone kindly give me some details on how to do this ?
This rubbish is starting to drive me crazy and my wife is just having fun because her iPhone connected immediately....
Can't let her win...

Changing settings on both network adapters worked for me, tnx
ROM: 1.48.479.1

Many thanks folks I had the same issue.

Thanks - worked for me too. I found I had to power down and restart in order for the changes to take effect. I also suspect that it may have been my mobile provider that knackered it as it was working fine prior to my previous mobile number being ported - it went bandy the day that the number was ported and they sent through some updates........which was nice!

So I think I figured out what is causing this at least on my end. I had the same issue and the solution on this thread worked. What I noticed in mind was that when I turned on WiFi sharing (not available with the TMobile version HD2, I had to install it myself), it automatically sets the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter to use specific IP address. I'm assuming this is normal in order for other devices to find an IP address to connect to it. Once its turned off, it does not reset it back to Use server-assigned IP address. Pretty annoying. If anyone knows where I can find a .cab file for the wifi sharing program that does this let me know. Either what, this is what I noticed on my device. Might not be the case for everyone. Hope this helps.

***********************
I have the same problem when i install Cookie Home Tab (no web pages loading)
I get as far as the connection folder
i'm then confronted by
Account manager
comm manager
advanced network
connection setup
connections
wifi
i doesn't matter which folder i open there is no folder at the bottom called 'network cards'.
I have now opened every wifi/network accocciated folder on my HD2 and can find nothing where there are 2 802.11 adapters listed.
I also found another thread in the archive where 'crapbag172' had an
ip address was configjred 192 168 1 1 and changed it to auto.
How do you do that because i have the same ip but cannot change it.
If i can't get this sorted this weekend i will sell HD2 on ebay
