Using WiFi for mail - HD2 General

After previously owning a HTC Touch Pro, I am a very happy HD2-user
I've setup 2 email-accounts; 1 hotmail (using Windows Live) and 1 Planet email. Both work fine using GPRS/3G but they don't use Wifi when enabled. Wifi works fine for other things like Opera, weather etc. Important to know is that hotmail never worked through Wifi, even not on my Touch Pro.
I had to set the 'connection' from my Planet-account to 'Vodafone Live' in order to work. It was originally set to 'Internet'. But when set to 'Internet' I can't get any mail.
Can someone please tell me how I have to setup my email-accounts so they work through both GPRS/3G and Wifi?

same problem here! I set up two email accounts on my HD2. when at home, I disconnect my 3G connection, connect to my wifi router, Internet browsing, weather update use the wifi connection, but as soon as I update my emails, the phone connects to 3G and use that connection instead! This is my third HTC phone, but this the first time I encounter this behaviour. It's really annoying. Is there a workaround?

Hm, strange. I have three E-Mail Accounts which I check. Therefore it doesnt matter if I use WiFi or 3G. If Iam connected via WiFi it works like 3G. If not 3G starts automatically.

Yeah, well that's exactly what I'd like to have! Instead, 3G starts automatically even if already connected via wifi. The good news is, there must be a solution since it works the way it should on your phone.

Got it!
I spent a nearly sleepless night tearing my hair out over this but I finally found the cause (and the solution)
Before going into details, just a small warning, being French and living in France I own a HD2 with a French Orange Rom (and you can trust Orange to make life more complicated for you), so, I have a French version of Windows Mobile. I will try to translate as well as I can the different steps, but the actual wording may be slightly different on your phones.
OK, first thing is, I remembered that Windows Mobile lets you decide if a connection or a network card connects to the Internet or to Work/Office, I had already made sure that my 3G connection was marked as Internet and I thought that may be my Network Card for WiFi was configured on Bureau (Work) instead of Internet.
It was! By the way the card to check is "Broadcomm 802.11 DHD Network Adapter". I changed it to Internet and I tried to sync emails again. I was pretty confident but that was short lived as my phone immediately started a 3G connection.
Here we go again...
I thought about the way Outlook Express on desktops lets you decide which connection should be used for each specific mail account, and I searched a similar option here. And I found it!
The culprit was indeed the default provided (Thanks Orange...) : Orange World instead of Internet. I changed the setting to Internet (no need to delete the account) and it worked!
Now, how to change the setting (That's the part where I get to use my translator skills...)
E-Mail (no translation required) -> Click the account to modify -> "Modifier les paramètres du compte" (Change account settings) -> Suivant(next) -> next -> next -> next
So, you clicked next 4 times and should be on the screen where you specify your SMTP server. We are almost done.
There is a text box and two check boxes AND (when you minimize the soft keyboard) a link to "Paramètres de serveur avancés" (Advanced server settings)
Click it, you can check SSL if your provider requires it but more important you can select what network to use!
In my case it was set to Orange World, hence the 3G connection every time I wanted to check my emails. Change it to Internet and here you go! No more 3G connection when WiFi connected
By the way, in order for this to work, you have to make sure the WiFi network card is configured for Internet access (see beginning of post)
PS: If the way I translated the diffrent items is too far off the actual thing, please let me know how it should be and I will edit my post.

Thanks very much for your info!
I was thinking of the same thing, so this was the first thing I checked. BUT (!) when I select 'Internet' , my email doesn't synchronize at all; it says connection error, please check your connection settings.
How can I see where 'Internet' connects to? I think there lies my problem...

Hi mrobers, it seems that in your case you had already figured out how to choose a connection but I would bet that you are missing the network card trick. So, set your account to Internet again and check your network card.
To do this you have to go to
Settings -> Connections -> Wifi (check activate) -> "Wireless Networks" button -> Network Cards Tab -> "Broadcomm 802.11 DHD Network Adapter" and pick Internet in the drop down list at the top of the screen

Thanks for the tip! I just checked my settings and it seems my 'Broadcomm 802.11 DHD Network Adapter' was already set to 'Internet' but my 'Broadcomm 802.11 Network Adapter' was set to 'Work'. I changed that and now have to test it at home tonight.
Keep your fingers crossed

Well...Don't rejoice too soon! I just tried setting both to Work, and now that I changed the mail account setting to Internet, it still works for me over WiFi. As you had already set it to Internet to no avail...Anyway I'll keep my fingers crossed for you !
One last thing, on my previous phone, I've had a very similar problem.
I use my phone at the office for syncing with Outlook, every time I did that, activesync would alter the proxy settings and add the adress of the proxy we use at my workplace.
After I disconnected the phone, the settings remained and I was not able to use my WiFi connection until I unchecked the proxy checkbox.
Can you check that as well? (Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Proxy configuration)

And I was sooooo happy
But I am still going to try this at home tonight...
I've already found out a few days ago about the proxy-settings; I work at Heineken and had the same experience after connecting it to my work-laptop through Activesync to synchronize my calender with Lotus Notes. I changed it back and it doesn't come back!

Update : It didn't work
Tried several settings but can't find out why. If I set my email-settings to 'Vodafone Live!' then I can sync through 3G, if I set it to 'Internet' then I can sync through Wifi. But never automatically

What do you mean by automatically? And from your first post I had gathered that you couldn't sync via wifi even after setting to Internet, but in your last post you seem to say the opposite.
Is the situation as follows?
Email set to Vodadone: sync OK with 3G and KO with wifi
Email set to Internet : sync OK with WiFi and KO with 3G

Exactly! You make things so simple
I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear in my startpost...

OK, another thought then.
We already made sure that your WiFi network card is set to Internet, but have you checked your Vodafone Connection? It has to have the "Connect to Internet" checkbox checked.
HTC Settings -> Menu -> More -> Connections -> Connections -> Manage my proxy server (For Vodafone) -> Is it checked for Internet access?

Good idea! Just checked and the option is selected. There is also a proxyserver setup for my Vodafone-connection. Could this cause the problem? I could disable the proxy-server from Vodafone tonight and see what happens...

OK, I think you are on to something...
I'm starting to feel like Dr House ;-)
Let's see where we are
Email set to Vodadone: sync OK with 3G and KO with wifi
This is normal, it's the setup I had and which prevented me from syncing via wifi. And it means that your proxy server accepts POP or IMAP connections which is both a good news (you can get mail!) and a bad news (see later)
Email set to Internet : sync OK with WiFi and KO with 3G
This is not normal, and that's what we have to find a solution for. What bothers me is that if your proxy lets you connect in the first case, I see no rational reason for not doing the same when you select Internet for your mail account...
Anyway, you don't have to wait for tonight to do some tests, because the problem lies with your vodafone connection, not with your wifi.
In order to have the expected behaviour (Wifi first, 3G second when both are available), you have to set your account to Internet (actually it's worth a try to set it to work and see what happens right now!) let's do this and if it still doesn't work, I suggest you proceed as follows:
1 - write down the parameters of your proxy (don't forget to check the advanced settings as well)
2 - Uncheck the proxy
3 - See if you still can connect to Internet with IE or Opera
4 - Try a mail sync
5 - If it works, then great, dont' touch anything!
6 - If it doesn't work set it back to what it was before step 1
7 - Hopefully, we will come up with something else!

Hi, I have a similar problem but the other way arround.
I set all my network options to the 3G line ( My Work network isn't active). I connect to the 3G internet and everything seems to be working: Opera, Stocks, Weater; but the mail can't connect or sync.
But if I'm at home and if I turn on the WiFi, everything from the above list works including mail.
The mail I'm using is Yahoo mail and the 3G is the Vodafone NL. Right now it's a puzzle.
I had a problem you are describing some time ago, but now it seems to be reversed.
Did anyone had this and solved it?
RIGHT, JUST WHEN I GAVE UP FINDING A SOLUTION BY MYSELF I ACTUALLY FOUND IT. just disabled the vodafone proxy. Everything is perfect.

****, I was too late to see your update
I solved my problem (before reading your answer) by disabling my Vodafone proxy. Everything now works as designed; I'm one happy HD2 owner
Thank you all - especially pat12 - for thinking with me!

nice! works for me too.. sorry I know nothing about proxies, but why would vodafone specify a proxy with their settings if we don't need one..? And why does it work with and without proxy settings?

Wi-Fi Problem with MDA!

I just bought the new T-Mobile (USA) MDA a couple days ago, a version of the HTC Wizard.
I have been able to connect with GPRS/EDGE, and seem to be getting EDGE speed, which is nice (my first EDGE phone).
However, no such luck with Wi-fi.
At my house, I can easily connect, at all times, with a few different wi-fi networks, with my wi-fi enabled laptop, and with my older PPC--an IPAQ 2210, with Spectec SDIO Wi-Fi card, can browse the web via Wi-Fi, etc.
The MDA does connect to Wi-FI, appears to be connected to it. (After turning it on in Connection Manager, of course.) But I cannot access any web sites with it. On trying to do so with PIE, I always get the error message:
"The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost, Check the connection and try again later."
I have not once been able to access one web site via Wi-Fi, with the MDA.
Can anyone help with this?
Thank you.
I ahve the same problem and have not figured out how to solve this...
Can anyone help us?
same problem here, also with t-mobile as provider. can it be a problem related to t-mobile???

I have exactly the same problem
I guess you could try going under "Settings" "Connections" "Network Card" and make sure your network card is set to connect to "The Internet"
Select your wireless card and then make sure the drop down says "The Internet" and hit ok.
Also, make sure your GPRS Connection settings aren't setup to use T-Mobile's proxy. When your gprs is setup to use a proxy for web browsing, PIE will attempt to use the proxy with any connection. And by proxy, I'm not talking about an APN or anything.
Are you running security on your router? If so try shutting it off to test or try to connect to someone elses WiFi network to test.

I spoke with a TMob customer service rep about this a couple weeks ago, and this is basically what he told me to do. A T-Mobile HotSpot (Starbucks, etc) should work without making any changes. But if you want to use your own WiFi connection, you have to do the following:
Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections Icon
Select Advanced Tab -> Select Networks
Change first dropdown to "My Work Network".
Click OK, OK.
Then when you want to roam with GPRS/EDGE again, you have to change it back to "T-Mobile GPRS".
Very annoying to say the least. If anyone knows a better way to do this, I'd love to hear about it.
This works for me:
Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections Icon
Select Advanced Tab -> Select Networks
Change the first dropdown to My Work Network
Change the second dropdown to T-Mobile GPRS
Make sure My Work Network is set to connect to the internet, but has NO proxy settings.
Make sure T-Mobile GRPS is set to connect to the internet, but HAS proxy settings.
Magic!
frycow, you rock!!
That worked perfectly!! I hated that I had to keep switching networks whenever I wanted to go online via GPRS or wifi!!
Thanks!!!
frycow,
wow. that sounds great. but I can't get it working. could you take a couple minutes to walk me (and I'm sure others too) through your exact settings? especially the proxy settings.
thanks!
frycow is a freakin champ....that did the trick!! I've been WAITING to get this working!!
AHHHH, AND IT FINALLY GOT MY POCKET MSN TO START WORKING TOO!!!! Still doesn't work on GPRS, but it certainly works on Wi-Fi!! I suppose the last thing would be to get it working on both!! regardless, this is SWEET!!
I can´t get it working :evil:
When I Change the first dropdown to My Work Network and after that tryn to sync without having wifi enabled, the device does not connect with GPRS..., solutions...
frycow, hazchem, djswivel:
Could one of you help out Paltkugen and I? Both of us can't get it working. If you could let us know the specific settings, including the proxy settings, I would really appreciate it. Its so frustrating to know it works for some people, but not being able to get it going.
Thanks!
I did EXACTLY what fry posted....follow this carefully
Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections Icon
Select Advanced Tab -> Select Networks
Change the first dropdown to My Work Network
Change the second dropdown to T-Mobile GPRS
Click Edit on the My Work Network dropdown -> Proxy Settings Tab
Check the first box (This network connects to the internet), but NOT the second (This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet)
Now do the same for the T-Mobile GRPS settins in the edit menu, only check both boxes this time. Then type in 216.155.165.50 as the proxy server. From there you should be good.

That is exactly what I did too. Just tried it again and I can't use GPRS to surf. I have Wifi turned off. GPRS is not connected. I open PIE and go to some URL (google.com). GPRS starts connecting and successfully connects to T-Mobile GPRS.
Then, for about 30-60 seconds, the status bar says "Locating". Then an alert pops up that says "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later."
Next, I turn on WiFi. It conects to my local WiFi network. It is still connected to T-Mobile GPRS too. I go back to PIE. As soon as I try to goto a URL, the GPRS connection drops, and again it says "Locating..." for a while. Then the same alert pops up again.
So now that GPRS isn't connected and just WiFi, I try going to the URL again. Same results.
Next I try turning off WiFi. Now there are no connections. I restart WiFi and there is just a WiFi connection. Same results in PIE.
I thought maybe the proxy is the problem, so I turned off the proxy in GPRS. When I do this, the checkbox "This network connects to the internet" won't stay checked. Even if I check it and click ok, when I go back it is unchecked. And when I did this, I couldn't even connect with GPRS. And with WiFi on, it would connect to Wifi, but going to a page would immediately pop up an alert that says "Cannot Connect with current connection settings. To change you connection settings, tap Settings."
I added the proxy back in and then tried changing the GPRS access point name from wap.voicestream.com to internet2.voicestream.com and internet3.voicestream.com. internet2 wouldn't even make a connection, but internet3 did. however, i still couldn't locate pages in PIE. So I changed it back to wap. I think my unlimited GPRS plan is configured the VPN way, so I remember having to use internet2 or internet3 in the past.
Could the proxy server not be working right for me? Is it possible that I cannot locate the proxy because I'm configured in a non-standard way (with a different access point - internet3) than most?
I think I'll call tmo and see if I can get changed to the regular AP (wap). I'm not using VPN stuff right now anyway. If anyone has other ideas, please let me know.
Thanks again!
I think i have a work around. but involes changing it back and forth when switching btwn wifi and gprs..
created two connections.
one with proxy and one without.
im only able to surf gprs with proxy.
when connecting via GPRS set both networks to connect to PROXY.
when using WiFi, set both networks to connect using NOPROXY.
that should work. at least it worked for me. tried only 2 pages and it loaded for both. GPRS used myvoicestream and wifi google.

Earlier today I had been trying to get VM Net Browser or Resco File Explorer to work, and they *were* working, albeit very sporadically. Sometimes I could see whole windows network complete with shared files and directories, other times I could browse to my computer and it wouldn't show anything as being shared. Looking for a solution, i found this thread.
I followed the recommendations of the previous posts and got exactly the same results as yowzator, including the weird thing with the "This network connects to the internet" checkbox unchecking. My GPRS access point is also named wap.voicestream.com - not sure if that matters.
However, I know that I was having at least partial wi-fi success before trying this fix or I wouldn't be able to have seen my home network. So I gave up on this fix and put everything back to the default - GPRS for programs that automatically connect to the internet, no proxy, and My Work Network for programs that automatically connect toa private network, with "This network connects to the internet" unchecked because it's impossible to check it and expect it to stay checked.
I tried surfing around to a few pages with wifi only (connections shows me connected to my network, I turned off the phone icon in the comm settings, and tapping on the connectivity icon on the taskbar didn't have GPRS listed) and amazingly, some of them worked - though the "locating" process seemed to take a while, they sometimes seemed to load faster than with GPRS (especially if I let my MDA go to sleep and then turn it back on again).
And then they don't work again, without me doing anything. So I don't think the fix we've been trying is a true fix to the problem - if it was then then pages would *never* load with the proxy disabled. Right?
I've been wondering if the "modem" tab under My Work Network is supposed to be blank . . . even if it's using wifi it seems like a poor UI design to not have a checkbox or something saying "this connection is for wifi and not dialup".
I am using the 2.17 ROM update. My wireless router is a D-link DI-624 extreme g. I'm using WEP encryption.
I am crying . . . tears . . . of confusion.
SOLUTION!?
This works for me (suggested in another thread):
1. Add the following to the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS:
DWORD dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8
(Note that there is already a key in the registry called "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS: DWORD dot11SupportedRateMask=1" - you should leave this alone)
2. Do a soft reset.
3. Go to your wi-fi settings -> Power Mode tab -> Best Performance (without this step it didn't work for me)
4. Turn on wi-fi and connect to anything in internet explorer. It should seem blazing fast compared to GPRS.
Note that this assumes you haven't done any of the fixes in this thread. That is to say, leave it with GPRS for programs that automatically connect to the internet (with no proxy), and My Work Network for programs that automatically connect to a private network, with "This network connects to the internet" unchecked because it's impossible to check it and expect it to stay checked.
So far (for a few minutes anyway) this is working for me! Even Resco File Explorer seems to mostly work - I can map my PC's shared folders and see my stuff reliably, as far as I can tell. VM Net Browser is still wonky though.
The thread this solution comes from is http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38898&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc
Hi,
tried that solution
(I have a thread below)
still falls over on "locate".
I have no home network so I have never got anything working - connects fine on a public hotspot, but as I say, fails on locate.
I've had enough - may either phone T-mobile pay CS - something I really don't want to do out of principle - or just send teh phone back.
any new info on this? can seem to get it to work.
i have configures it many ways as suggested above. only time i was able to browse on wifi was with no proxie was set up. i connect through another network, (the mda automatically hooks you up to all avalible networks) but that only lasted a few minutes.
is there even a chance i could someone at tmobile even help me??? anyone here call them and get got service/help with getting it to work?
thanks

Windows Mobile email problem...can no longer send/receive

Hi, I'm hoping someone may be able to help:
I'm running Windows Mobile 5 on an O2 XDA Exec
I connect my device to the internet using 802.11b connecting to a wireless access point
I configured email for two email accounts,
One is a POP3 account and the other is a hotmail account
I've been able to send/receive emails from my mobile device as expected...up until today that is...
Just today I'm now no longer able to send/receive emails
I now get the following message on my device on attempting to send/receive emails
Cannot Connect
Cannot connect with current connection settings.
To change your connection settings, tap Settings
<Settings>
This message repeats itself. It appears the device is polling for a connection
Having done some reading on the topic
(here http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_archives/Sep04/VPNConnection.aspx) it appears that
somehow my connection settings are messed up.
Has anyone come across this problem and come up with a fix
I've always had the "My ISP" option set on both
"network management" settings (i.e. connections>advanced>select networks)
and this has been working fine up until today.
So for both the options in "network management", i.e.
"Programs that automatically connect
to the internet should connect using"
and
"Programs that automatically connect
to a private network should connect using"
I have "My ISP" as the connection setting
For reference, I'm able to establish a wireless connection to the internet
using the device and browse as expected (I'm using the Opera browser).
I've read the guide here (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_archives/Sep04/VPNConnection.aspx) so understand why I might want to use the "My Work Network" connection option. I have no requirement for this so have set both connection options to "My ISP" and this has been working as
expected up until now...
By the way, on top of this MSN Messenger refuses to sign in (Pocket MSN sign-in failed)
and since this is linked to my hotmail email settings, I'm not able to send/receive any hotmail
Many thanks
Funnily enough had the same issue with mine today!!
Exactly the same - MSN, Email and Internet sites (like google wouldnt work)...however (as I have Orange M5000) the Orange WAP internet sites were fine.
I did so many things to try and get it to work (Not sure which one actually did it to be honest)
But I used the reg hack to keep data connected - that was the first to be disabled so now it connects then disconnects.
I also use Phone Alarm - This was causing me lots of problems so if you've got it check the options. With phone alarm i had entered my SIM PIN code - no good this had to be disabled - In fact phone alarm is now just switching profiles and is working fine as long as no security PINs are on or data connection monitoring/logging. Also just made sure for "Orange World" (My default Network) that the internet access point was correct.
...to be honest thats all I can think of - but its working now.
They are complicated devices and mine has given me more headaches in my first week than the 10 months i had with the Blue Angel (M2000)...still shouldnt complain too much the M5000 was a free upgrade.
Hope you get it sorted

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.

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

Help using wifi with email account. Pic inside

Hi guys. once more I'm trying to find whats preventing my email account to connect using the wifi connection. It seems as it will only connect through 3g data connection. I've tried everything. the only thing I can think of now is that there's a problem with the wifi modem driver because as you can see in the pic below it wont appear as a modem connection:
can anyone check is they have another option there that I dont?
It'd be very appriciated. Thanks!
i face the same problem, I couldnt send email using wifi except 3G.
Well than lets find out whats wrong! Do you have those same options like I have?
I think that people that have a working email client should have another option there for the broadcom etherenet card and I want to compare.
Why are you going so "deep" in the "useless" settings?
Set your network cards to connect to "the internet", not "work", and set the email client to use "the internet"... and everything will work together nicely.
It does not work that way. When I send/recieve I get this messege:
Cannot connect
Dialed:
The answering modem has disconnected. To check your modem connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings.
Bump.
Cant someone just look and tell me wheter he has the same options like the pic in the first post? maybe he has diffrent/more options?

That would mean your 3G connection doesn't work either... but you did say it was working earlier, right?
I'm on WM 6.5 and the screen is different. But in the options I only have 3, Bluetooth is absent.
BUT that screen is not related to wifi at all, so your problem should not be there.
This connection screen is set by the configurator for your country/operator to get the data/mms connection settings. If those work, the problem is somewhere else.
If it helps .... I only have the 3 options you have. BUT I am pretty sure that the screen shot you showed has nothing to do with your ability (or inability in this case) to establish a wifi connection.
I re-set up my Telstra WAP connection and then my Active Sync settings in order to connect to Exchange as it did not connect straight out of the box (gotta love Telstra!) but all is working now that I have selected "The Internet" and have the right Telstra settings ....
Sorry I cant help anymore ... hope you find a solution though!

I had the same problem last night at home, and quick resolution was to reset the WiFi access point. I know for a fact that it's not the HD2 because occasionally I had the same problem with my old phone (Nokia E60).
However, I too was puzzled by the message you are quoting. If WiFi does not work, the HD2 should fall back on 3G / GPRS / GSM, which in this case it does not.
I'm not sure whether your problem too may be related to the access point. If I were you I would:
a) Turn WiFi off on the HD2 and check that mail works fine;
b) Check that you have set your WiFi connection and your email client on the HD2 as suggested by kilrah earlier (to connect to "the internet", not "work", and set the email client to use "the internet")
c) Turn WiFi on and check that the HD2 does indeed connect properly to the access point (green tick mark next to the SSID). If it doesn't try resetting the access point.
d) If it does, check that email works as expected (which at this point should be the case).
Hope this helps.
The most "effective" -simplest- solution i was able to find to the problem is to "duplicate" the email account.
The "duplicate" accout was created "while i was connected to the internet via wifi".
Actually this "alternative" account was created - obviously with a different "name" - to be able to clearly identify it and different smpt - to be able to send messages via the adsl provider-.
Now when i want to check the mail via 3g i use one account while when i want to connect via wifi i use the "alternative" account.
This way you may have every now and than the problem of duplicate incoming messages which need to be manually erased but at least don't have to make too elaborate modifications to the settings prior to access the mail.
I have the same problem but the other way arround. I mean that my Gmail account won't sync unless I'm on Wi-fi . Through Gprs it won't work !! I get a "Cannot Connect" message. HELP ME
