Hello everyone
I got a Acer n311 yesterday and I'm very happy but I've got a big problem with the Wifi.
I can turn it on so I guess it's not an hardware issue and it recognize my personnal Wifi (it appears in the available access point list). But when I try to connect to this network, status become 'connecting' for 5 seconds and then it goes back to 'available' without showing any message. Of course, I can't connect to the Internet
My network is password protected but i also putted my router into 'no-password mode' but it doesn't changed anything.
I don't know what to do :s
Thanks in advance for your help
PS: Sorry for my bad English
many wifi routers don't play nicely with mobile devices
unless one update the routers firmware to the latests
and they update them continuously
luckey it's pretty easy to update router firmware
Thanks Rudegar
I'm contacting USRobotics by email. I'm gonna wait their answer but I hope it's not the reason I can't access.
However, I don't think that is the cause because I've got an iPod Touch and there is no problem connecting with it.
Waiting...
mailing the router maker to ask about such things is
kinda like mailing your tv cable dealer to ask wahts on the telly
at best you will get a reply in a few weeks linking to the firmware
you could find in mins youself on their site
one thing you could try is to pull the plug of the router for 10sec or something like that
many routers dhcp get a bit crazy after awhile
and of cause troubleshoot trying to connect to friends and public wifi's
I just received their answer now and there are telling that it is a security problem on my routeur. Of course, it doesn't help me at all
My routeur is automaticaly unplugged at midnight so unplug is not the solution but I'm going to try to connect to a public wifi when I'll find one.
I'll let you know if it works
Thanks again

I've similar problem with my n311 in WM6, except that with security off, I can connect, otherwise I can't even see the SSID of the router. I checked with different brand and netgear seems the worst.
This is something I'd experienced with my SE Xperia X1 with the same OS.

I hope someone can help me. My new xda exec will not detect wifi anywhere. I can get it to work when sync lead to my laptop but I just found out it is routing to my laptops network connection. I have gone through all the settings and cannot find anything wrong it just keeps on saying scanning network
Hi Simba1623,
I'm new to XDA's but have been playing with WiFi networks for a while.
So i'll have a couple of guess's :wink:
Is the router broadcasting its SSID ?
Do you have spare IP's available ?
Have you added the MAC address if you've got MAC flittering switched on ?
All are common causes for devices not finding the network.
Thanks for responding. The id issue is sorted as when I first setup the xda it did work and asked me for password and worked fine. Then the following day stopped. There is plenty of address left and it won't work anywhere. Regarding mac address I have no idea but will cheack with a friend. When I bought the XDA I was assured it would pretty much work out of the box...... and it did for one day Thanks again :?
Try to delete the connection settings associated with your router (in the wireless manager), hopefully that should allow you to "discover" the router again and fingers crossed it should stay working
Thanks I just I tried that. It didn't work straight away but following full shutdown and battary removal it seems to be working now. Fingers crossed it stays
Wifi signal almos DEAD, very strange
Hi, My O2 Exec has problems with the WIFI connection, no matter where I go, if O2 Exec isn't really near the access point, will not detec or connect to the wireless network.
when I say near, is around 1 meter from the access point antenna, if I go more tham 3 meters, goes almot 100% oofline and 4 meters even detect. It happens at home and at work, in both locations my laptop works fine 40m from the access point and my nokia 9500 (cel I used to have) goes 30m, I've made this tests of distance today.
So... seems to be on My O2Exec the problem... ... I think started when I upgraded the ROM to latest build available at my-xda.
Please, any clue? I already changed performance/battery from the control panel/wireless and even reset many times, updated the rom again.. no clue at all...
HELP!!!!
mac address
hi,
i am new to networking esp. wifi. i am not sure how and from where can i get mac address for my device, its a siemens sx66 (w/o cam) have upgraded to ivan's latest rom. please help
o2 atom wifi issues
Hi there,
I also have had the same problems with my o2 Exec, when I first turned it on, it wouldn't detect any access points, after driving myself nuts with trying to work out what was wrong, I eventually put it down to the phone. so I rang O2 and they told me to send it back. Strangely just after that phone call it detected the network and has been working fine. Until last night when it decided that it couldn't connect again. It still sees the network, but will not connect, even though it says that it is available.
Also a couple of days ago the speakers in the phone stopped working after I used the radio with the headset. After putting the headset back in and pulling it out about 20 times. it did work again. but not before I went CRAZY AND HARD RESET THE DAM THING.
I hate this phone, I have owned the o2 mini and the jasjam, this is the worst of them........
I am selling mine as soon as I get O2 to replace this piece of crap.
Hi, my 8525 suddenly can't use WIFI. It do show the icon on top of screen indicating that I am connected to a hot spot. But when I open IE, I can't open any web page. I can do it hours ago, and that time I visit gmail.com, download its application to MIDlet and then use WIFI to check my mail box. Also I visit Ebuddy.com and download and setup its application.Both of them run okay. But when I turn on the phone tonight. WIFI doesn't work well. IE just keeps locating... and gives no response for a long time and finally tells me "The Page cannot be displayed or download because the connection was lost." I want to know what happens and what I can do to solve this problem.
In addition: Now I unlock both SIM and Supper CID using this webpage's guide:
http://www.windowsmobilecool.com/2008/08/how-to-unlock-your-htc-tytn-aka-hermes/
But I don't know how to check whether I already have unlocked Super CID? I try a T-Mobile SIM and it works well. So at least it is SIM Unlocked now.
often it's enough just to pull the plug from the wifi router for 10sec
happens with all wifi routers think it's their dhcp which get confused but mobile device
because I dont get the same problem with laptops and desktops connecting with wifi
another thing which could fix it would be the update the router with the latests firmware
as they fix bugs with newer wifi devices once in awhile and then release new firmware for their routers
Thanks Rudegar, I solved this problem last night. The problem is caused by an application I use on my phone. China Mobile Fetion. Since China is a country forbid the WIFI function on phones officially sold there, some software application from Chinese companies and programmers set GPRS as their default connection method, and I mistakenly choose let this software setting the connection function automatically and it just adjust all program's default connection as CM GPRS. After delete all GPRS settings on phone, the WIFI works well.

Hi guys I am having an anoying problem with my phone.
I connect my Wifi to and ad-hoc connections which works fine for all devices.
The connect is stable and almost 100% quality
The problem is that the phone doesn't have any data transfer, I can get online for but for only a few seconds like update Weather and open a page, then is like offline the Wifi stays connected.
I tried using both settings connects to internet and to work, I got the same problem.
Can please someone help, it must be a problem in the settings, I am new in WM phones
Have you checked if you need to put in a security code? Is signal strength ok? And sometimes you have to wait quite a while for the webpage to be downloaded.

I have WEP code inserted, the signal is very strong 90 to 100% I am really close to the source.
The pages open pretty fast but after some seconds it doesnt open anything neither Skype or Weather works but the connection stays on.
I even try static IP and still got the same issue, I wounder whats is the problem, Saturday I will connect it directly to router instead of an ad-hoc to see what the results may be.
I really need help with this... It is so anoying.
I do not understand, yesterday it worked all day, and today is not working only for a few seconds and the only thing I touch was trying to connect to a network in different place.
Does anyone have any idea? Any info could be useful
I think I just found problem. DNS It seems that the phone the last dns added. What I did now was to delete the dns numbers so the server may add it again. It is working again.

I'm sure your problem needs some helping, but you're posting in the wrong device forum for that. This is the Iolite section.
By the way, the original problem is solved already, so this is considered answered.
Closed.
Does anyone else have this problem?
My home WLAN is hidden, it doesn't broadcast it's SSID. I've never had a problem until maybe the last week. Now my phone won't connect to my WLAN (or any other hidden WLAN that I had connected) until I reboot my phone. Once I reboot BAM it connects right away.
In all likelihood it might have something to do with my custom rom. Guess I should get cracking on a v3 with the latest OTA anyway...
I had this exact same issue a while back I while using a flipz rom.. one version of flipz it connected to my hidden network no problem the next minute it refused to connect I never got an answer so I just gave up
hopefully someone can shed some light on this because it has been bothering me for a very long time
I don't know about routers that have WLAN configured on hidden mode, but don't you guys have an internet provider service for your home and could maybe work if you tried looking for your/their router provided Homepage Login details on Connections/Frequencies/Settings? I don't know much to say but this is maybe an idea, because I had a router with SBCGlobal Internet Services from AT&T on my home lines and we have the top tier DSL service including hidden lines for using the internet as in internet ip addresses, so I'm just saying I could connect with the key included but I don't necessarily have your problem per say, maybe it could be the router or WLAN itself to be reset settings on it for a reboot maybe and it might work, maybe not.
Sorry if my reply fails. I thought of this upon thinking from myself in my head.
I use my own router, not something provided from the ISP. The same thing happened with my father's router over the Thanksgiving holiday. I connected to his network fine after I configured it, but the next time it wouldn't detect it. It's definitely the phone. Guess Jiminy v2 isn't perfect Back to the drawing board!
Hi, I recently bought a 16Gb DVP on WinMo7 and for three weeks had no Wifi problems at all. It recently stopped finding my home WiFi router.It finds both neigbours routers but mine is missing from the list.
I then got an update notification for the Mango update which I competed. the router didn't return in my list of networks immediately but about two days after.
It has now dissapeared again but 'Mango' has the added 'Advanced' button to see 'known neworks'. My home router is in this lst but I cant access the settings or force any paring.
I've tried the obvious of turning it off and on. I've reset my router, reset my phone back to a clean boot of windos 7.5 (mango) and still no results for finding my router. All the other phones in the house and all laptops find it fine so I can only presume it is the DVP.
Details:
OS version - 7.10.7720.68
Firmware Version - 2250.1800.7720.219
Don't know if this helps.
Does anyone hav any idea why and what I can do to resolve it.
thanks
Jock
Try changing the SSID (name of your wireless network) to something else and see if your DVP can see it and make sure the SSID is not hidden.
Thanks, tried that last night. No luck I'm afraid.
On the router admin now and It's all as it should be fom my service provider settings.
I have a full signal of my neighbours router and just don't understand why it's chosen mine to not even find. When it appeared last time it was after turning the router off all night. I tried that again last night but it didn't appear this morning when I turned it back on.
Confused !!!
Jock
have you been able to connect to and maintain future connections to other wireless networks? if the same problems happens with other networks, I'd run a factory restore on your phone as it seems there might be a software issue. However if you can connect and then are able to re-establish a Wifi connection to other networks then I'm stumped!
I've just changed the SSID to something completely different and it's appeared and I'm now connected again.
All I can say is that it connects to the router for around a week and then the network dissapears.
Short of changing the name every 7-10 days I can't really see another resolve.
In answer to your other question, I haven't really used it on other networks.
I'll see how it goes with this new name.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions
Jock
After reading other posts, this might be an issue with the .219 firmware that you are on. Just keep checking for updates. You could try a hard reset of the phone and then a reboot of the router
Also make sure your router is set to either B or G mode. Check my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324949
Thanks, I did a hard reset when it first went off, still found nothing when it re-booted. I'll keep an eye out for the firmware update.
Thanks again.
My phone just started doing this as well. Very frustrating as I cant download large updates and I dont want to exceed my data cap. I am totally fed up with this phone!
Fixed. Called Dell. Long press network name. Press delete. Press network name when it shows again. Reenter password. Works!
