Weird WiFi/connection problems

He all,
I got some connection problems.
If i insert my WiFi card(sandisk 256+WiFi) my I-mate detects it and the antanna is displayed in de buttom of my screen but whenni go to my browser(internet) the message :Cannot connect with current conection settings. To change your connection setting, tap settings.
But i have no id how to change the settings to make it work with my wireless network.
Also the WiFi card couses to freeze the system every once and while.If i take the card out everything is okey again.
I got the I-mate jam with latest rom and radio drivers and I already installed the drivers of the WiFi card.
I hope you guys can help me out with this one
Thanks in advance

I had a similar problem with my XDAII, believe it is likely to be a known problem and related to the dual function of the card.
Have you tried the website for updated drivers?
The other options are to ensure that it you have the correct settings for Work or Internet to connect to.
I assume you are connecting to a wireless Access Point on a home based WIFI system, or are you trying to connect to public hot spots?
Contacted clubimate?

It started after I installed the latest rom version you guys think I migh work if I installed the older version?>

Nick

which rom are you referring to, an original manufacturer version or a cooked rom from this site?
if it is a licensed version, I would contact imate, have you installed the latest drivers from the hardware supplier?
I think you may have to go to your wireless settings and ensure connect to the internet is selected. also,scan local networks and ensure you are connecting to the correct network.
my problem when I got that message was cause it was connecting to the guy next door with wep key required.
are you able to connect to your host pc via wifi using a mapped network drive? or are you simply using a wifi hotspot?
if using a wifi hotspot, you should select auto connect to non-preferred networks.
start - settings - connections and choose wireless or wifi or network and have a look at what is actually happening in the network configurations. if you are really struggling still, try posting some screen shots of your network connection settings

sorry misread post

Just to end this topic.
I returned it to sadisk and they said it was the memmory function.
I couldn't get a new one form the store i bought it so I got my money back,
I now have a new one without the extra memory.

Use this handy little app. Just toggle off internet & wap so only wifi is available to you. If you want to reuse data connection just toggle them back on

Also, make sure in settings > connections > wifi > wireless networks > network adaptors > My network card connects to: is to to 'The internet'
and....
settings > connections > wifi > advanced > power mode is set to best performance.
This should also help with wifi connection

Always best to run connection wizard after flashing if not already run automatically.

Problem with wifi connection - Dutty's 6.1 v4.3 FINAL Rom

Yeah i know then rom is old but i like it, i do have a problem though i am connected to the wi-fi network but i cant actually surf the net or use applications the use the internet, i find this weird as it says its connected. any help?

Anyone have a reply?

No one will be able to provide you with a reply without knowing tour actual settings.
Make sure to check if you are connecting via a proxy or not (Check Settings/Connections).
The easiest solution is to backup and do a hard reset and all will be fine.

Go to start > settings > connections > wifi > wireless networks > network adapters and make sure 'the internet' is selected and not 'work'. See if that helps.
As your issue is with wifi and not the actual rom I've moved it to General discussion.

You may find that your device is trying to use both wifi and data connection. Try using NoData and toggling off data connection so only wifi is available.If you ever need data connection again, just toggle it on again.
Also try going to start > settings > connections > wifi > advanced > power mode and set this to best performance.

HD2 WiFi

Hiya, I purchased my HD2 this morning, everything is great the phone is brilliant, there's one tiny problem, I did a soft reset on the phone after using the 802.11n enable thingy (using the regeditor), when I rebooted the phone the WiFi option (under settings on HTC sense) is disabled (like greyed out), I can't turn the wi-fi on, i tried setting the reg back to disable 802.11nm but the option is still disabled. The button was enabled before I made any edits though :s
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks

WIFI is disabled when connected to your PC (Activesync).

Haha alrighty, thanks for the quick reply =)
edit: just another 2 queries
How to I find the MAC Address of the HD2, and i'm trying to sync my contact out of office outlook 2007 using Windows Mobile Device Centre, but when i select contact is says Outlook is not setup, how do i fix this? :s

Glad to know. I thought this "feature" was a bug from installing too many tweak apps. I could still enable wifi via:
Start > Settings > All Settings > Connections > Wifi
and ticked the "Turn On Wifi" option. This part of the OS is basic windows mobile UI.

enable WIFI on hd2
i updated my hd2 from 2.13 to 3.14 and lost my wifi capability.
can this be recovered,,,, i already re flashed back to 2.13 and still a disabled (greyed out) wifi on/off button.
Any solutions to this problem?
thanx

Wifi not connecting, any ideas??

I did a search, so dont flame
Ok when I try and connect my phone to my wifi at home, nothing happenes at all.
I tap my wifi network, and it just highlights it, and doesn't do a thing!
But when I tap any other wifi network, it asks for the network key.
When I've tried to do it through the winmo settings, It allowes my to put the correct info in, but when I press conect nothing happenes again.
I know for a fact Im putting everything in corectly, I've even reset all the info on the router just in case. And still nothing.
Wtf is going on guys?

try deleteing all Wifi Network settings and networks.. and then search for the network.. add them with the key ( If Required)
i hope this should solve your problem..

Is your router set up for mac address filtering? If so you need to register the mac address from your phone on the router.

Yeah it is, and I already did that...
Nope, the method in post 2 didn't work either

im having the same problem have you found any solutions yet?

wifi
i had simialr probs...
deleted all knwon wifi links,
reset router
allowed router to set itself up using wizard
then allowed HD2 to find my network
then entered my network key and phone worked first time..
not sure if its a router problem...could be you need to set router to auto mac addresses
hope this helps..

..
Trust me, its a fault in the HTC standard ROM...
If you download artemis rom, it will work... I had the same problem..

I've had a similar problem, here is what I did.
Go to wifi > advanced > adapters(on index tab) > network adapters > make sure each and every one is set to obtain automatically, this worked for me.
I hope you understood what I've written and that it'll work.

Not really, is this on the phone, because i got lost at adapters, it isnt there.

Nope non of the above worked.
Im on the axlor rom, you it wont be a problem with being on a htc rom.
Weird thing is it was working fine untill i had to send the phone off for repair.
I guess ill try a reflash and see if that helps.

Remove settings
I had this problem after i changed my wireless security settings. Heres what worked for me. Go to the list of wifi networks. press the one you want then hit advanced at the bottom rights corner, it should bring you to a screen that looks like screenshot3. Click change network and you will be at the screen in screenshot4. Right click on the network you want and press remove settings. Go back to the wifi list and try to connect. Also note that i have mac filtering off in my router, this may cause other problems if you have it enabled.

need W7 or Android

It got me to the point where I could enter my pass word, but It wouldnt connect! But thats one better than last time.
Thanks mate.
Also, I do have mac filtering on. But before the phone went of for repairs it worked perfectly fine with mac filtering.
