I got my HTC Hero today but I seem to be having problems connecting it to internet either over wifi or mobile data network. When I list the wireless networks I click on the desired AP, input the correct password and all I get is "connecting.." and after a while "disconnected". I can use the wireless network on my laptop without problems. The wireless networks I tried were WPA2 Personal, WEP and Open (tried different AP routers). It doesn't even try connecting to gprs even thought I enabled it in the settings. I upgraded the HTC Hero's firmware to the latest found on their support site, but I still get the same problem.
Anyone know what problems I might be experiencing or how I might fix it?

Maybe the problem with your wifi router (or anything you want to connect to)
sorry! i didnt mention this but i don not think it is anything to do with the router as my laptop can run off the same wireless network and also at work people with an exec can access wireless but mine still cant
I understand but it can be the problem with the wep key or mac address... in the wireless router just for the pda. Beside of this your laptop should work but the pda not.
I am using my Hero for about 1 month
recently it is not able to locate any wifi network
i can open wifi, but no network comes out(there's open network avaiable)
when i press search, nth happen
anyone konw what's happening?
Thank you so much
My Hero will not connect to my home wifi whether wpa-psk or-wpa2 or open (Tiscali Siemens585 router) or my Win 7 laptop used as a router (using its Atheros wifi card). It's a T-Mobile UK stock handset. It can see all the connections and remembers the login details but will not hold a connection.
Any ideas?
I've had spurious connections to the router before, I have no idea what's going on, if I|had to guess I'd say it was an ip address allocation problem ( I have always got 2 pcs and a wifi printer on the network).
Help!!!
Hello,
I have a HTC Touch Diamond 2 for a while now, but I still have problems connecting encrypted to Wi-fi networks. My Wi-fi network is encrypted by simple WEP-encryption. My phone is able to connect to the network (seems), but I can't get any data over that network.
I have tried other Wi-fi equipment and that all works fine. Connecting the phone to a Wi-fi network with another access point (encrypted) is also failing.
For now I can just connect to unecrypted networks.
I'm running WM6.5 (5.2.2.21887), Radio version 4.49.25.91.
The phone is not branded (never been).
Does anyone know a solution to this?
Before and after the recent TMOUS ROM upgrade, I have always been unable to access the internet with the wifi hotspot created by my iPhone as the wifi router, while my laptop and ipod touch could. Are there any special settings I have to do on HD2? Any suggestions? Thanks.
Now I could not even access internet via my hone wifi router - it used to be able to right after the ROM upgrade last hight...
Have you checked your wifi settings, you may have to re-configure your HD2 to your network.
I have updated my ROM to 2.13 but didn't encounter this issue.
Yes I did check the wireless controls (comm manager) for connections many times and showed clearly it was connected to my home wifi router network; but it just could not access internet ("Error! Connection closed by remote server"). I must have missed something in configuring wifi settings properly... Would you be kind enough to show how/what to re-config the wifi settings to access internet? My other mobile devices could access internet via the same home wifi router without having to re-config anything...
I figured out the problem
I noticed that the wifi IP address for my HD2 was completely different from those of my other mobile devices on the same home wifi router, so it dawned to me that I might have inadvertently put it on a different wifi network. I decided to re-flash the new TMOUS ROM (2.13) upgrade, and go through the wifi setup again more carefully. It turned out that last time when the setup asked me if I would use "TLS" wireless network for authentication, I tapped the "wireless network" button - although I should have ignored it and tapped the "next" button instead, which I did this time. Now I could access internet via my home wifi router, as well as via the wifi hotspot created by my other mobile device. So the problem is considered SOLVED.
Hope this post is helpful for those who might be experiencing similar problem as I have been.
or maybe your phone felt insulted you were trying to connect it to the internet via an inferior children's phone (iPh#$% - sorry no cursing allowed) and just said no. i bet if you tried using your PC (not M*C) as a hotspot, or a dlink (lol) you hd2 would connect perfectly.
ps: dlink is about the worst router out there
I have my Tattoo rooted with 1.6 (can't recall the ROM name) with build number 1.67.405.6. Almost everything works fine except the connection with my home WiFi network. It's a PPPoE connection through ADSL modem. Next in line is the Netgear WG602 v3 WiFi router. At the beginning I couldn't connect at all so I changed the router's ROM to DD-WRT. Now I can connect with the router but no connection to the internet whatsoever. I can ping my router through my Tattoo, I can even open the 192.168.1.1 and mess around with its software but no connection to the internet. It is only limited to my Tattoo as I can connect through my laptop, through my other mobile (HTC S710) and also I can connect my Tattoo with any other WiFi (Secured or Open) with no problems at all.
I tried with no Security, with WEP, with WPA-PSK to no avail. Any other clues?
try running htc mail while you are using your wifi throuf your tattoo it worked for me
What is supposed to happen if I do that? I'm trying it as soon as I get home btw.
Nothing happened
Hi all...sorry for my interference but this problem is similar to mine.
I'm going mad from many weeks trying connect my Huawei Ideos (U8150) to my home wlan through a netgear VG602v3 AP. No way to do this.
Wifi works from my laptop and from my girlfriend's laptop, but from ideos it doesn't.
I turned off all wireless device in my house, I tried with/without WPA, I tried open network from channel #1 to channel #13, tried changing ssid and I also tried praying .
There is a weak wifi near here: it is on channel #1 and its power is between -89 and -82db. My wifi power (data from kismet) is between -50 and -18 db and is configured on channel #11.
In any cases, even if I put my Ideos near to AP antenna the story is ever the same:
- Ideos indentify the wifi network
- Ideos acquire the IP
- I open the browser or the android market and...
- Ideos lose connection...and so on.
I downloaded from work wifi (crypted with WPA) a wifi scanner from app store: it shows me the neighbour's weak wifi and my wifi network which appear and disappear recurrently.
Please, someone helps me (without suggest to buy another AP!!), any suggestions are welcome!!
Have you tried logging into the router and checking the privileges for devices. Some of them have a security element that restricts the use of the internet on newly connected devices until the setting is changed. I had a similar problem with a new laptop.
hope it helps.
I checked every setting to no avail. I still think somehow that my problem is with my router or adsl modem which doesn't connect automatically with PPPoE and Android doesn't have any command or software to initiate a PPPoE connection.
Other than that... Can't find any solution. Until then, I use connectify on my Win7 laptop. The thing is that I have to keep my laptop switched on as long as I'm in the house.

thank you for suggestion. I looked in depth but I did not found the option of which you were talking about. The unique solution still remains change the AP!!!
WiFi and Netgear Router
I think I finally found the answer. It appears Netgear routers support something called WiFi Multimedia. Its a QOS methodology. I disabled WiFi MM or WIMM as its sometimes called, as well as Internet QOS and all my problems connecting to web pages, the market, etc. through WiFi disappeared.
Strange that older versions of the ROM supported WIMM (or ignored it) and newer ones don't. But that solved the problem for me with no real degradation of performance on any of my other computers.
Good luck.
