I just got a "new" T-Mobile MDA Vario (UK), and after starting it, everything seems to work fine.
But when trying to connect to wireless networks, it finds them okay, but never connects to them. It just alternates between "Connecting" and "Available" in the network list.
My laptop and the other PC in the house connects to our and other WiFi networks fine, so it must be a problem with the Vario.
I've tried a factory reset with the same results.
Any suggestions what might be wrong or what might fix it?
The OS is apparently 1.3.2.2 if that helps.
Thanks in advance!
had this a couple of times. my work router here worked fine after i rebooted the router.
but some networks i havent been able to get on to.
What encryption is your wireless access point/router running? and what brand is it?
Thanks for the reply.
It's a Linksys router, using a WEP security pass, but it won't connect to other branded routers either (local unprotected neighbourhoods ones (A Belkin, for example) that the laptop and PC can connect to just fine).
With the old XDA Mini S I used to use, it connected to the network fine then asked for the WEP Key, but this one just never connects. I've tried going into the network info and putting in the WEP Key, and it stores it and gives no 'Wrong Password" error, but still never connects.
I've upgraded the ROM to the latest official T-Mobile one (2.21.2.6 WWE) to see if that would help, but I still have the same issue.
Is switching to the I-Mate K-Jam or O2 XDA Mini S ROM simply a matter of installing it the same way I would a T-Mobile ROM update, or will that brick the phone?
My old XDA Mini S never had this issue, and I've read of a few people using the MDA Vario having the same problem, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the T-Mobile ROMs/software?
Bump.
Anyone got any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I am having the same problem. I downloaded the lastest upgrade from the T-mobile site and was still not able to connect to the internet with wifi.
And suggestions would be greatly appreciated
I tryed with T-mobile 2.26 ROM. I like to connect to my desktop pc, with ad-hoc mode. As I remember, I could connect, but the PDA didn't accept the IP address and other network settings, that provided the dhcp server. (WinXP internet connection sharing) I checked this with vxUTIL. Connection didn't work even if I setup the IP address, gateway, and DNS server manually.
I upgraded to WM6 and now the thing work well.
I've the same issue, but also noted that the device already connects to dlink routers, linksys ones's didn't work, previously with the original ROM from CINGULAR 8125 the linksys worked fine now they don't.... i recently upgraded my phone to wizard love for G4's so it's not only a tmobile issue.
I recently purchased the program PDANET from June Fabrics Technology. Using this program, i can tether my laptop to my phone. The problem I run into is when I am tethered, I am unable to access any network shares in my domain. For example, \\Server\ShareDirectory.
I am using Windows Vista Pro and have searched the net and have not found anything than can help me resolve this problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
I guess my first question is: why are you using PDANET with a WM6 device? I just use internet connection sharing and it works great...
but maybe there is some restriction on yours that I don't have?

I tried the Internet connection sharing that is on the new DCD ROM and couldn't get it to work. It connected and appeared to be fine but I couldn't access any web pages. Also, when I use ICS, it disconnects my active sync. With PDANET, I can have both.
Unable to connect to any WAN
To update the issue, I am unable to connect to anything on the WAN. Anything on my local server connects fine.
I've got Ranju's WM6.1 on my Universal although there are problems with it but the main problem I've got is with connecting to the Internet using my 3G connection. I'm on 3 UK and it says there is no data connection? How do I solve this problem?
Anyone help me with this.
I've got a touch which I can connect to the net by using wifi or gprs without any problems.
What I'm trying to do is connect my laptop to the touch and then connect to the net through gprs when there isnt a wifi connection avaliable.
This must be possible but I really havn't got a clue where to start.
If anyone knows how to do this it would be a great help.
If you are using the Onyx ROM.
There is this software called ' Internet Sharing ' in the programs.
Hi,
What I'm trying to do is sharing the internet from my PC to Hero. I tried using Virtual router and Connectify. The phone is able to connect to the hotspot in both instances, I can see the packets being sent, but there is no internet connection.
There has to be something bout the Modaco ROM that I have running, because when I had 2.1 Rom on my phone it could connect to the internet using the method I mentioned. But that ROM was sluggish and I reverted to the cupcake.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Sharing from your laptop to your phone. I've seen the other way around happen, but not the backward method. I don't know if that's possible with the applications available at the moment.
It's the same as connecting ti a WIFI router. The only difference is I want to share the connection using my wifi adapter as I'm using WiMAX connection.
The thing is- there's some limitation on the phone, probably implemented by HTC to force peolpe to use thei GSM connection.
Any ideas?
