Wifi Connected But Email Won't Download

I have an HTC Wizard with a WM6 ROM installed (jaguar 4.0). The ROM has been good so far and stable, but the last two days I ran into an issue.
I can easily connect to wireless networks around me with wifi. However, when I go to check my email it says 'connecting' and a message eventually pops up says error syncing, check connection or email settings.
The email settings are correct, because when I disable wifi, it connects using GPRS and downloads email no problem. However, it is also connected to wifi, shows the connection, strong signal, and internet explorer also works with wifi. Updating the weather works as well - it just seems to be email.
Any ideas on what the issue is? Thanks in advance.

Email connection on vodafone rom

Any one had any problems doing a send/receive on the vodafone branded rom? I've set it up fine but it only seems to want to download them using a specific connection. If I set the network connection to Internet, then I can only download the emails if i'm connected via wifi and the only way to download them if i'm on the go is to go into the advanced server settings a then specify that I want to connect via wap...
It wont let me specify to use any connection available. For example, if there's wifi connection, use that, if not use wap.
Is this a common issue or just with the vodafone branded c**p?

Ok so i've partially resolved my issue above. I removed the proxy settings which now means that if I'm not connected to wifi, it will dial up wap. But now my problem is removing the proxy has removed access to windows live/hotmail. Vodafone have really screwed with the settings it's pi**ed me off... Anyone have a cab for windows live?

WiFI how to make it

Please don't kill me but I want to know
HOW to make use WiFi instead of network on browsers and mail, once I connect?

once you connect you to a wifi network it should be just like using wifi on your computer.
a more specific question or example may allow someone to help you more.

The phone uses Wifi where possible by default. However as my push mail is running over the Vodafone Internet APN I have found some occasions where my browsing session wasn't using Wifi.
So I created my own homepage which tells me the IP address I'm on and works out if it's my wifi router or the Vodafone Internet. It also has all my bookmarks, which is a better than the built in solution from Opera.
If you aren't using the GPRS all day, try NoData which can block all GPRS usage.

Aha, the old friend from MySymbian
Well I'll try that NoData but good to hear X1 wants to use it by default (when connected). I don't use any push messages.

It's a Vodafone ROM thing. if you flash to another ROM it will work fine.

WiFi problem
No man, I have a Vodafone UK Xperia. problem with Wifi initially, then I've ROM it to the generic UK version...now it connects to Wifi but I cannot browse anything with it. The pages don't load and status keeps saying 'loading...' but nothing happens and after a min or so, a message saying that I have to check my internet connection...not connected!

Then you have your Wifi settings incorrect.

How come u say my Wifi settings are incorrect? How can I correct it? In wat way? my laptop etc connects to the Wifi fine...and the phone as well...but it just that the phone doesnt seem to load anything from internet when I'm connected.

First Check if you used the correct Key for your wifi if thats fine then ....
I've never had this problem with the xperia but I have had with other windows mobile phones it was probable because of older versions of windows mobile, if wifi is connected fine go to Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections -> Advanced Tab -> Select Networks, then select My Network for both drop downs.

Because you are unable to surf the internet, which points to either the settings entered incorrectly (normally when using WEP) or your router needs a firmware upgrade.

Ok here's a complete answer to my question
HOW to make X1 to connect to WiFi ONLY:
Install NoData (thanks for tip!!!)
Turn this on to NOT transfer any network data.
All the browsers I tried (Opera Mini 4.2, Opera Mobile 9.5)
automatically connect by WiFi, so it's great.
Email NOT. But it's enough to
go to email account settings and in advanced server settings instead of your providers network
choose "The Internet".
Violaa, the email account also connects through WiFi.
Hope that helps somebody

Where do i get no data please

There's one topic here called no data cab file!!
Just find it and it's there!

i got problems with my fritzbox 7270, too.
but i solved it.
just set the 802 adaptor manual to your wifi settings.
free ip adress in your segment, gateway, nameserver.
i think its a dhcp problem, with my 7270.

email doesnt work using data connection, only wlan

email doesnt work using data connection, only wlan...how to fix that or you cant fix that?

yep. have had the same issues.. even weirder is that the internet does work but not mail.. not sure if restarting might help, I gave up.

Everything works for me too, just email doesnt update itself when I press receive and send, not even data connection is established.
I have same problem with live msn, but there at least connection establish itself, but then I get connection error...
Everything else using data connection works...

I've found exactly the same thing - some applications only seem able to access the internet when my HD2 is plugged in to my PC or using wifi.

make sure in settings/all settings/connections/connestions under your proxy settings you do NOT use the "connect using proxy server"

My phone provider uses proxy, in manual setting is written you should select this option...if i set it off...everything will work or settings there will be deleted and i will have problems with internet connection then...?

For my provider (Vodafone) the written instructions are to use proxy also, however without it all is working-class perfect, mail AND internet. just try it. At the customerservice they told me that for the high-speed connections as the HD requires the standard settings simply aren't correct.

i had exactly the same problem and i figured out that it was because the opera / connection registry tweaks ive found in "Leo Hints&Tips" thread... Reverted everything to original values and it worked for me ...

I dont use any tweaks except bsb tweak and email didnt work before i had bsb tweaks...

I have almost the same issue... Everything works over the data connection except Remote Desktop.
Proxy disabled btw. What gives?

Mail doent connect through wifi - only with data!

Hi there kind people of XDA.
after installing a new rom I encouter a problem with setting up my gmail account. It seems as if the HTC mail client isn't willing to work with my wifi connection and only working with the data (which is disabled).
when I send/recieve, it tells me that it cannot connect and that I should press - settings. After going into settings I have 3 options for my work connection.
the first one is where I think the problem is:
*add a new modem connection.
after I chose that I've been asked to choose a modem and I dont have a wifi ot the broadcom lan card. only bluetooth, cellular line, cellular line (GPRS) and hayes compatible on COM1.
Any idea?

go to settings, connections, connections, advanced, select networks. Then change the first setting to 'work'. I have a dutch version, so the names might be slightly different.

thanks but I already tried it. The problem is that when setting up a new connection I cant use the broadcom as the connection modem!

Now I know my phone isnt using the same network as you. I have only one cellular account that I connect to. For this example I will call it "My Connection" I have that set in Network management to be the default connection for the internet.
Now when I go to my email connection settings I can choose that connection or a few others. If I choose "My Connection" then the email will only connect though cellular data. But if I choose "Internet" then it will connect through both.
So when I have wifi present I can connect with email, mms, surf with opera, and update weather all through wifi. When my wifi goes down or gets turned off everything reverts to cellular data.

ditto - on 1.48 i get 'Internet' as well as the T-mobile internet and T-mobile MMS settings. internet seems to latch onto anything that has a public ip - and starts with wifi.
I have found that one thing which stops email sync is not wifi/HSDPA data, but rather the exchange domain setting disappearing sporadically.

do u have bsb tweaks the same thing happend to me and in bsb i had wifi disable go in bsb and enable it.

please see if at
