Hi,
I've got a HTC HD running Windows Mobile 6.1. I am trying to connect to eduroam in my campus (university of plymouth), but after hours of trying and still no luck, I really need your expert input.
The setup guide for eduroam for other OSes is available here www.plymouth.ac.uk/eduroam.
Has anyone successfully connected to eduroam?
What are the configurations?
By the way, I've also tried the lastest version of securew2 (v1.1.3), but again, no luck. I was not even asked for my username and password.
I really hope that you guys can shed some lights into this problem. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
dsPICgy
you are not alone
i also have this problem with eduroam..and others too.
it seems to be a problem of the omnia, what nobody knows whats the problem.
I'll tell you my config for University of Seville in my Diamond. First I need to install Secure2w and the ttls client.
When you configure the settings, trie to demark all checkbox, leave PAP, and put your username ([email protected])and password, then it should connect.
I want to say that when i've got an elf, secure 2w make it shutdown xD, so this soft is not perfect
i had the same problem and i solved it in the registry... i have written a tutorial for the entire setup, just have a look at this section http://www.freecoffee.de/index.php/Eduroam_mit_Windows_Mobile
its completely in german,but the registry information should help you
Got eduroam connection to work : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5480577&postcount=10

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.

I had exactly the same problem, followed your instructions (although didn't disable WPA in the advanced config tool, it was already disabled!!). It worked on reboot excellent, and I have a very long network key! Thank you very much for these instructions! :d

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.

Mohit Goyal
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.

hi guys,
perhaps I am blind too, but I can't find anything here that would help me.
I am looking for a Software that helps me controlling my Mobile Device (HTC Touch Diamond) from my Computer, via internet. I search a software like VNC but working in reverse!!! So, i need to run a program installed on my diamond while the phone is several miles far from me
Does anyone know there something helpful?
Thanks a lot
P.S. sorry for my english....
Use VNC server (pocketvnc) instead of client.
vnc connection problem
hi HwangPL,
thank you very much for your replay. After your post i've downloaded pocketVNC server version 1.4.2.0(demo version), but i'm not be able to use it. The vnc client on my pc says "connection failure". I think I'll go crazy before sunday......
If you or anybody else have a solution please post it!!!!!!!!!
Thank you one more time.
Try to use old VNC Viewer on your PC. I cannot connect when my mobile phone uses GPRS connection, but it works with WIFI.
I cannot test it right now, cause I don't have any WIFI connection (it surely worked some time ago).
I'll try to test it tomorrow maybe
I think there are a lot of problems with the type of connection. I use a hsdpa connection with my diamond, while my pc is connected to internet with another mobile phone that works with an umts connection. I'm not sure how to configure the firewall. However i'm not sure how to configure the tabs of vncpocketserver. I think that's why i'm not understand very well english (i'm italian) and on the web i didn't found anything wrote in my language.
So, you are my only, precious, last chance......

OK. I used vncserver v.1.4.5.0 demo, on my pc VNC Viewer Enterprise E4.5.1 via WIFI (on mobile as internet connection) and it worked. Goodluck!
hi, i came back!!!
Finally i've found the solution. The problem is the IP address. My operator doesn't give me a public IP but a NAT address. This is a very big problem because the phone can't accept any type of connection by the web. Fortunately i found a beutiful program called "Hamachi" that works on both the computer and the PocketPC. So i resolved my problems.
Thanks very much to all for suggestions.....
Hey there,
I am having i think a small problem with both SOTi and My mobiler.
I Have a Touch diamond and when i am seeing the camera on the PC all goes black in PC preview, but on device i can see the camera images.
Can anyone help.

Hi
Strange nobody else having same problem.
I believe the reason with the no preview its due to the autofocus, can anyone check on this.
Tks in advance
Jeyo Mobile Companion 2.1
Hi all,
I have one of Dutty's roms from a couple of months ago on my blackstone for winmo 6.5, gee it has made it such a better phone.
The issue I have is that when I set the proxy under setting > connections, the internet on the device still won't work. I have been round and round in circles on this have googled everything I can think of and still haven't found anything.
Does anyone know why the phone seems to be ignoring the proxy settings? if I take it home to my wifi that has no proxy, it works fine. the wifi here works perfectly, can remote desktop into machines, just cannot get Internet access.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Craig
Hee guys,
Does somebody know how to get Wifi over eduroam (PEAP/Masc.V2) using vegacomb?
I really don't know anything about servers/ports/certificates..
All I can say: It sees the wi-fi, and got 5 stripes.. When I connect using PEAP/MascV2 ([email protected], no anonymous, and password), the 5 stripes disappears and it is endlessly trying to connect.
Cheers,
Duvee.
Hi,
I have the same problem, but am able to provide some more information.
1. I'm unsure if the phase2 authentication (MSCHAPV2) is saved correctly. When i edit the connection again, it is set to "None", but i when i edited the connection with wifi advanced configuration editor (app), it wás set to MSCHAPV2.
2. My Android 2.3.4 EVO 3d connects without any problems.
3. It gets stuck in a loop of scanning, connecting, disconnected. So the problem should be in authentication.
I've read a couple of threads outside of XDA, but none of their solutions work..
-Mo
yes, I've read them too, but indeed; no answer.
newbie's idea's didn't work as well. So I hope there will be an update with eduroam support?
will there be new updates, or is vegacomb a finished product?
There will be updates, but i don't know how soon..
I have found something.. will try it tomorrow at school and let you know if it worked..
you said the problem could be authentication.. and when I connect my htc hero to eduroam it asks for a password to safe referenties or something like that, but that doesnt appear on vegacomb..
I have installed the certificatie, and have set a referentie password.. and can choose for that certificate with eduroam.. so I have high hopes actually..
Hey, another user who needs EAP wifi right over here LOL
just let know if anyone fixs it. I will surely do it...
ok, no luck trying to use a downloaded certificate.
the connection is immediately down.
I don't know what to try now..
any updates?
I have the same problem :s any updates? Maybe another rom where it works?
