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...

Cingular 8525 Wi-Fi issues

I've been having a bugger of a time with the Wi-Fi on my 8525. I keep getting a response that the WEP key is incorrect. I was able to connect once, and have since deleted my settings that the Wi-Fi network, but nothing I'm trying seems to get me connected.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I had a problem with my Wifi working when I first got the phone. But since I wanted to SuperCid the phone I had to downgrade the IPL to do so. I re flashed to the same Cingular 1.34 with IPL 1.06. Since then I have not had any problems with the Wifi.

Here's a thought. Why not try the Hitchhiker application. It tends to get round quite a few issues in set up. Also once you've got it working and connected to Wifi you can close it down if you wan to and you'll find it has saved correct settings for your normal way of connecting to wifi. Another benefit is that you can cut the wep key from a text document and paste it into the box it gives you (saves a lot of hassle whenever you need to re-enter the key - which in my case is 28 letters digits long!!) WM5 box as you may have discovered does not allow wep pasting!!
You need to have .netframework installed as well byt the link I give you also has a link for that as well:

i recently got att 8525 but i havent able to connect wifi with my home network. it asks for wep key, then shows connecting to network and after a while shows wrong network key...no success so far...i even tried the abive hitchhiker sf and all but no luck...has anyone come up with any solution??? i had np connecting 8125 b4...!!!
btw i use wm5 and the most recent att rom update posted on htc site...
hoping for some solution...

I have similar problem too with my cingular 8525. I unlock it to work with t-mobile and also upgrade to wm6 . Now, I can not connect to my home wlan. If I click on wlan, it show my wireless network. But if I click on internet explorer, it show me the default internet window explorer with at & t and window mobile icons. when I click on either one, it take me to media net log in screen. help me

ok, i dont know how but my wifi started working last night!!! b4 it always looked for IP address and eventually disconnects b4 connecting to home network. so i installed "hitchhiker" but no luck either...so i uninstalled and then tried but this time it said connected to network and as soon as i open IE, it disconnects...it looked like wifi connects but then disconnects or timeout due to power settings, so i changed power settings under wifi settings to best performance and now it just connects right away...

Thank You Thank you Thank You. I've been at this for a few days now. It would have to be that simple.

Just remember you need to run the remove proxy cab file if proxy is has been set to use GPRS/WAP. Also make sure the right network interface is selected - like work uses 802.11 etc..

wifi (WPA-PSK-String) problem in htc touch hd?

Hi Guys,
I guess this is my first post in this forum.
Does anyone have any problems connecting the HTC Touch HD device to a router with WPA-PSK String setting?
When I entered the details of the Wi-Fi setting, it stucks in the 'Connecting' status.
I did try disabling the security in my router and the device is connected successfully.
Help! Help! Help!
Any assistances will be much appreciated.

Try using a shorter string and see if that helps.
I remember having trouble with my Wizard and WM5. A connection string that was too long would cause this.
My Touch HD connects fine with WPA-PSK, but cannot connect using WPA2, whereas my Wizard with WM6.1 connects WPA2 quite fine.
Anyone else have this problem?

thanks for your reply.
it is very strange though. I did try various settings of the password: 8 characters, 10 characters, 12 characters using WPA-PSK.
I cannot test WPA2 because my router does not support WPA2 .
hm.. ROM update probably

I have a 10 character wpa-psk string, on a US Robotics access point.
worked instantly.
How about the other settings, TKIP/AES etc?

no data encryption settings in my modem router. could that be a problem? But, my TyTn II is connected to the same modem router and I set it to WPA PSK String with TKIP encryption.
My modem router is quite old. I guess this December is his 5th anniversary .
I might try to connect to my neighbour wifi network tomorrow and check the connectivity.
Thanks guys. If any of you still have tips or instructions to fix this problem, that will be much appreciated.

any update on this issue? help required
I am currently using a HTC touch HD Orange UK with the latest ROM from HTC. I also tried DavideUK 6.1 V6 and 6.5 V7.0. In all cases, I could only connect to public wifi networks but always failed to connect to any WPA-PSK routers.
P.S.: I did try enabling/disabling WPA functionality using advance setting/tweaking tools for WM6.X
Has any one manage to solve this one?
Do we know which NIC is in the Touch HD?
Is there any driver update available?
is the WPA-SPK encryption-decryption done via hardware, software or a combination of both?
Thanks for any provided information.

Solution!!! here for Orange UK unlocked handset
Hi Every one, I finally found a solution for the Orange UK unlocked handset and WIFI with WPA-PSK encryption.
It seems like a contradiction but the only way to get it to work is by reintsalling the orange packages & settings on the top of any ROM you are using (tested with stock rom 1.14, 1.19 and DavideUCK WM6.5 V8). So no way to get away from Orange for the moment.
here is how I proceeded:
- installed ROM 1.14, 1.56 then DavideUCK WM6.5 V8
- installed Orange_UK_by_rabdo_v1.6.cab ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311467) and Orangeworld_Fix_by_rabdo.cab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316763)
P.S.: both seem required
- checked with Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3.cab that WPA is DISABLED (Yes it is right, I read on some post that status DISABLED was the solution).
now the rest is basic networking by setting password, static or dynamic IP/gateway/router & DNS.
Remaining questions to Rabdo, Davideuck and the developers here:
- What in those 2 orange cab files solved the problem?
- Do Orange HTC Blackstone have a different hardware than factories? or are they using a software solution to handle WPA-PSK encryption instead of hardware encryption?
- are other branded Blackstone suffering from the same issues?
a BIG THANKS to Rabdo for those packages!!!!!!!
P.S.: no Orange splash screen is included in thos CABs ;-)

Just checked with my HD. It can't connect with WPA/PSK. WPA2/PSK is fine irrespective of key length. Looks crazy. Since my router supports WPA2, I never checked this earlier.

I could never connect to WiFi at work where a long key with funky characters is used (WPA2, AES), and according to our admins no WM device has ever been able to do that. Every other device works fine. So it seems like a problem affecting Windows Mobile in general, not just Touch HD.

I think the Edit Box where U enter the key only allows ascii. If U can bypass it then it should be possible. those deep into WM programming might be able to help.

I've had the HD for about 6 weeks now and it's been working fine with my home WIFI, which is WPA2-PSK. But in the last few days it has stopped working for some reason.
It still says connected, but whenever i try to go online or even just update the weather, the program says it's not connected. It's driving me mad
I hadn't changed any of the settings, so i don't know why it's started playing up. I've triple checked everything and the only thing out of the ordinary that i can notice is that my network key is 8 characters and that's what i enter in the appropriate place, but then when i go back in to check it there are 13 characters in the box. Where are these extra ones coming from? I can't tell what they are because it's asterixed out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated because i'm fresh out of ideas!

Hi just have a new HD.
Everything works fine so far but i cannot connect to my router.
Its a brand new Dlink . Al my other devices connect perfectly (pc and htc diamond)
but my HD says its connected (shows IP etc...) but still i cannot connect to the internet or update the weather...
Any ideas ????

Ebola_virus,
Go to settings>Connections>Connections>Advances>Select Networks. Select My Work Network (For "Programs that automatically connect to internet use:")
Next time use search

Same problem here. This has been reported by too many people.. If you search you' ll find many many threads.
Worked fine, then without any change stopped working. WiFi reports it is connected but no program can use the internet.
Setting slider to full perfomance, using work instead of internet, enabling/disabling WAP security, hard resseting, reflashing nothing works!
At least one user reports "cycles" of good/bad operation without changing a thing !
I too am mad and wondering: anyone had it fixed through HTC service?

If you connect to an access point using the standard interface it will set encryption type as AES as standard (regardless of what your AP is set to)
If your access point is configured for TKIP encryption type then you need to manually go in and edit the settings like I have to in order for it to work.
hth.

Can connect but cannot surf
I have a wireless router that is set up using WPA-PSK. I can connect to the router with my HD, but when I use any browser nothing happens. When I go into the routers settings page I can see that my phone has an ip-nr but still nothing happens. Has anyone experienced this and solved the problem? Thanks.

Wifi not working HTC HD2
Hi,
I am using HTC HD2.
I am presently in a university and we have a wifi network here. The wifi network can be accessed by entering a username and password. A proxy also needs to be entered in order to access the internet.
Most of the phones on the campus like iphone or other nokia and samsung phones are able to use the internet very easily. Setting for iphone users are as follows:-
1. Switch on wifi on your iphone
2. Select "Other..." in the list of networks
3. Enter "wifistudent" as the name of the network
4. Select security type as "WPA–PSK 2 Enterprise"
5. Put your username and password
And for Nokia E series the settings are:-
Create a new Connection Name - say e.g. wifi
Data Bearer: Wireless lan
Wlan network home: wifistudent
Advanced Settings (in options)
Enter Proxy Server Address (192.168.32.x) and Proxy Port Number (8080)
Network status: hidden
WLAN network mode: infrastructure
WLAN security mode: 802.1 xs
WLAN security settings:
WPA/WPA2: EAP
EAP plugin settings
1. EAP LEAP
[Options>edit]
User name: xxxxx
Prompt for password: no
Password: *****
2. EAP PEAP (disabled)
(all others disabled)
Based on above information, I want to ask you two questions:-
Question 1) I hope based on above settings for the other phones you can help me find how to configure wifi on my phone.
Question 2) Where do I enter the proxy server so that the wifi network uses the proxy server. Right now I was only able to set up a proxy server for GPRS connection. Not for my wifi connection.
I would quite thankful if you can let me know how to configure the wifi on my phone.
Regards,
Mohit Goyal

Anytime turn off wifi no 3g available anymore!

Anytime I turn off wifi connection and try to connect with 3g after it there´s no application can get any access to internet.
Even softreset or deleting and typing new ISP settings don´t work except hardreset until I turn on wifi and turn it off again.
Really weird!
Can anyone help me please!?
Thanks!

I had an issue recently that sounds very similar. I altered some wi-fi settings, specifically to have a fixed IP address on my home network and when I was away from my network, 3G stopped working.
My fix was to use the wizard to set up my data access again from scratch (Start - Settings - Connections - Connections Setup). After this, everything worked again. Not sure if this'll help, but might be worth a try.
I still don't know why one affected the other, but if I go anywhere near my data settings, it happens and is repeatable.

Problem fixed with original rom
Thanks for answer, but I tried your advice couple of times before.
No result!
but its the same, I have static IP at home too and connection works fine but after disabling wifi no internet connect available.
Now I flashed original HTC rom and I have no problem anymore. It has to deal with the cooked roms of Dutty (both versions v1.7 and v1.8 extreme).
I would like use one of these roms but I have to fix that!

I've had the problem and was fixed by - in connections... "Programs that access the internet use:" was "My work network" -ie wifi.. instead should be "Internet over GPRS"
changing it fixed it.
i find it annoying it should have "Try wifi first, if no access THEN use the Expensive data plan"

I´ve had tried that options too...no result!
But it has to deal with your hint I think. Maybe my settings don´t effect like it does with your handheld. Maybe something´s wrong with writing settings in registry?

I have a same issue.

there´re lot of people having that same issue....
Maybe Dutty by himself is able to give us answer?!

I´ve flashed Dutty´s 1.9 now but I have same issue again.
What´s wrong with my settings?
Same settings worked very well in original htc rom.
What the heck is going on?

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!!
