Hi you all...
Im having troubles with the wireless connection on my HTC Magic phone
When im choosing an application and want to start the download @ the market... it just hangs with the message "Starting download" and then nothing happens... I have never seen it start downloading...
If im using the browser, then the wifi connection works fine, it's only when the downloading apps at the marketplace, it dosen't work
When i toggle the WifI off, and switch to GSM/3g connection, then the download works fine.
What to do?
I experienced the same problem before....
You just need to restart your router --- that will renew your IP address.

Hi. Have a recent problem that developed on my HD2. It happened after installing the mod that activates a task switcher when holding the send button. Could have happened sooner but I think I would've noticed...
Problem is: I have my HD2 connected to WiFi at home and it works perfect for web browsing and all, but, the moment I use other apps such as updating weather or browsing google maps or the Windows marketplace they use the 3G regardless of my WiFi being active and working.
I am on 1.48 stock ROM.
I have uninstalled the mod BTW and I use duttys task manager.
Please please help me someone...
doubt it has anything to do with that mod... i dont have any mods on and 50% of the time even tho i am in WiFi covered area with WiFi on it will start using 3G instead of checking for WiFi. Its extremely annoying and i cant understand that HTC didnt atleast give you a small manager wich would give you different options how to connect to internet once you are trying to connect...
Its not that I am in a WiFi zone. my WiFi is connected and I am browsing the web. It's.not that it is just choosing a connection, it completely ignores my WiFi on everything but the browser. And it only started happening today. Marketplace worked on WiFi yesterday.
Nevermind. I found the problem. Earlier today I set no WiFi network to be treated as a work network instead of a internet network. this lead to most apps thinking I am not connected to the internet.

Hi. My problem is more or less as described by NESO1234 above. WiFi at home is is connected, but browsing Internet is done through 3G (I guess - loading a page takes loong and the arrows indicating WiFi connection are not moving).
You mention network not set correct. Could you or someone give me a more spesific hunch (path...) on how to make WiFi beeing used?

Go to the WiFi connection place (where the Wifi switch is and it shows ur acess point underneath) go to Advanced > Change Network then select ur AP and make sure 'Connects to:' is set to 'The Internet'.
Hope it helps, it worked for me
I have no idea what caused it, but just tonight my phone stopped being able to connect to my home wifi. The wifi symbol in the status bar shows that it is connected, and the phone sees my router but when i try to activate skype it asks me if i would like to use a cellular connection as apparently my wifi does not exist.
Any ideas ?
reboot your modem and router, turn off wifi on the phone until it is back up, then reenable the phones wifi, see if that helps.
No dice. I reset both, the symbol shows me as being connected on the phone but when i load up Opera and try to go to a web page it says 'Connection closed' and Skype also isn't working.
Okay so that's strange. For some reason my HD2 set itself to a Static IP. I went into the Broadcom settings and changed to server assigned IP and it's working again.
Technology is a pain sometimes !

For some weird reason my does a similar thing about every 3-4 days. Nothing changes, it just decides to not connect however resetting the Netgear does the trick (not ideal but does the job).
Other dissapointing thing is often it cant pick up or has poor signal around the house in certain rooms but my wifes bloody Iphone picks up signal everywhere lol (i still convince her, the iphone is inferior)
Hi guys,
after having installed CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 I have got problems with WiFi and 3G connection. Sometimes it seems my phone disconnects with the internet. Actually, the widget shows that connections are enabled but the market or browser won´t load anymore and I get the message that I need to check the connection :S
In this case, the only thing that helps is to switch to flightmode for some seconds. Sometimes even this does not solve the problem and I have to restart my phone.
Hope, you guys can help me. Thanks.
I noticed another problem, that might have a relation to the first one i have described.
Sometimes when I like to connect my phone to the internet via 3G or WiFi (using the integrated widget) it does not connect at all. The status bar does not show the WiFi or 3G sign and browsing is not possible.
Damn guys I need your help
ok not sure when it happened but, when i connect with wifi it shows both the 3g and wifi symbols and i cant go to any web sites or download, but i can connect with my router. tryed forgetting the settings and connecting again, same same.
i have rebooted the phone by battery pull and tryed to cycle by airplane. i have also tryed diffrent access points all doing the same thing. 3g and wifi symbols show and will not send receive data. except I can access the router configuration.
any ideas??
thanks
Try either rebooting or reset the 3g by cycling in airplane mode. Sometimes mobile data will freeze on the phone and wont allow wifi to connect.
I having some wierd problems with my universals wifi ..
I can see my homenetwork when i scan for it. My Wifi is set up to a simple WPA password and no encryption.
My Universal sees the network and i can connect to it fine. The first thing i think is strange is when connecting to it, it has automaticly checked the box saying "This network is hidden" which it is not. I then continue and the rest of the settings it sees fine. I enter my password and it connects. Fine everything is working, but then suddenly it loses its connection and now i cant connect to it anymore. If i try to reconnect it just stops and gives up and then cant see the network anymore. I have to disable and enable wifi before it can see it again but i cant connect. The only way i can reconnect, is if i hard reset the device! A reboot doesnt help. I've tried another rom, but that didnt work at all, only telling me the password was wrong even though i knew it was not.
I have tried to dissable all security on the router just to test but it doesnt work either..
What is going on here ?
EDIT:
I just tried this with a number of different networks.. Dlink routers, Open networks, HTC Hero and HTC Wildifre S as hotspots.. All doing the same.. trying to connect and then it gives up ..
EDIT 2 :
I've now installed this rom, and with that rom theres no problems.. So i guess it has something to do with the drivers in WM6 roms for uni
