At university, the wifi connects but keeps asking me for a username, password and domain every few minutes.
Its really annoying, and even when I tell the phone to remember all of my details, the screen still comes up asking me to log in again.
Is there a way to stop that from happening?
Please can anyone offer some help?
You should check with the IT service, it's possible they did it like where I was, it was a real pain, had to do all of a complex manipulation to install certificates etc...in order to be able to connect to wifi and authenticate successfully...
i see, thanks for the reply.
The wifi works, but it just asks me to reauthenticate every few mins or else it logs me off. Is there any way to make my phone automatically reauthenticate like my laptop does?

No, but will they really be able to help?
The authentication process is just fine, the problem is that the phone doesn't save the settings. (the dramatic thread title is just to get attention, as almost all my posts get ignored)

You won't know if they can help unless you talk to them.
It may be that the settings are only allowed by the wifi service until a service refreshes and disconnects uncertified devices.
But, without having a clue how the network is set up, its just stabbing in the dark.

"connection times out..." i hit 'retry' several times, tried clearing data in applications, tried restarting phone. nothing. i can log in on my desktop. Whats the deal? Why is this phone so embarrasing to be seen with in public? thanks for any help
maybe it's not the phone, but the user?

Yeah, I get this every so often when moving between mobile cells. Sometimes cycling between 2G/3G in wireless settings reinitialises the session and gets me back on, otherwise it's a phone restart.

I have experienced this as well and this fixed it in the past.

I had a Rhodium for about a week and now I'm using a sapphire and I hate to satire but I'd rather throw my old rhodium than the sapphire. Try a battery pull.

bummer, pulled battery but still getting:
"there was a network error while trying to sign in to **********. Retry now or press the Back button to cancel"
TMobile's sending another one under warranty anyway (for several other issues with this stupid phone), maybe that one will work.
I jumped on android's bandwagon by paying my way out of sprint and into TMobile when the g1 arrived and now Sprint and verizon are shelling out fantastic android devices and tmobile, who couldve and shouldve ran off with the android market long ago is sticking me with the already outdated MyTouch and Cliq and their big new announcement was the not-even-a-good-deal 'one price for unlimited usage' package. They better get their act together, very poor decisions on their part thus far. I feel like everyone's wearing reebok pumps and i have the generic payless shoe source version. I dont even like taking my lame-ass 192mb ram android device out in public, its embarrassing.
Is the mobile network access point set up correctly?
Can you browse the internet?
If yes, then the AP is set up correctly and the problem lies elsewhere.
I ask because, after I flashed a new ROM my AP wasn't set up, so i had to do it manually.
And no the mobile network AP is not the same as a Wireless AP.

Hey, new here but i hear this is the best place to come for advice so i thought i would give it a shot.
I am getting several errors when trying to use the social networks on the HD2
Twitter
It lets me log in but hwne i update it says my account is forbidden to access the twitter server, but everthing is fine if i sign in using a browser :S
Facebook
comes up that my username or password is incorrect when i know for a fact it is not.
Youtube
Says "There was a connection error while attempting to login"
I have tried it on wifi, edge, 3g, hdpsa and nothing works. I am on o2 an have a unlimited usage contract. Please help.
Had these when I first got my phone. All was set right after a reset (pop the battery out or hold down hang-up button)
Also, probably be a good idea to make sure you are logged out of all of those accounts in any browsers before signing in on your phone?
Outside of that... not sure.
add this to it: Nimbuzz
I can't connect over gprs or 3g. I'm on vodafone NL and i have disabled proxies and even created an experimented with new accespoints, but no luck. O even looked up in the registry to see if there is something that can be changed. I can only connect trough wifi.
Is anybody experiencing the same? It might be as well that vodafone blocks nimbuzz, but can they do that? legaly i mean.

Does anyone know of an app that would help me find out what application/process is causing my 3G connection to turn on randomly...... a lot?
I've gone through all the options i can, to stop any program that runs updates (Twitter, Facebook, Stocks, ActiveSync, Internet time etc) but the connection STILL randomly connects >.<
Any help appreciated!

Thank you for asking that.
Finally someone else who find that's completely "censored".
I give you official answers from my phone provider:
It's normal. To avoid receiving a big bill, you should buy a pack data download, so if it randomly connects, you are safe. Other users reporting the same and its normal and the data pack is perfect solution- No comments
I give you answer from HTC support:
Go into settings/submenu/megasubmenu... whatever, and check "phone usage" n(which only tells the calls usage by the way, not the data)- no comments
I give you answer from forums users:
Yes either try this wonderful application: x,y,z to know the usage : (its paying ones).
Or completely mess the configuration to connect to internet via your HTC HD2 "quietly brilliant" device (very quietly)...
Ok you understand, you're more or less screwed and have to accept that complete scam.
And apparently we are 2 in the world now, to find that's an essential feature, missing (another one).
Ho and to actually diagnose which one is using gprs... Hm we can't even control to say "NO never activate DATA", because the button automatically turns on (quietly stupid).
This cab allows you to disable all data connections...enjoy
My phone was starting data connections all the time when I first flashed a cooked ROM and had it set up with the SFR Always On data connection... On my stock SFR ROM it was called Full Internet but it used exactly the same settings but I didn't have the problem so I just tried changing the name from Always One back to Full Internet and it worked strangely enough... I don't know if that can help but it might be worth a shot .
Hello everyone,
I recently bought a new Nexus One and so far everything is perfect but one thing.
Every time I lose 3g connection, mostly when I enter the subway, I will get this error message : "sign-in error to xxxxxxx at gmail.com ". Then I need to register my password again in order to login. It will happen even if i am on wifi. It is getting a little bit annoying to write my password 5 times per day to sync my emails and calendar.
PS: I get the same thing on stock 2.2.1 or cyanogenmod 6
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your time.

That normally happens to me when I change SIM cards. So maybe you have a problem with your Sim card? Try a different one...

It doesn't get back on, when I go in the Account Settings menu, it says my that "my password is incorrect or my account must have been changed".
It forces me to go in airplane mode while I'm in school because otherwise I need to re-enter my password every 10 minutes (poor reception) even though wifi is on. I mean, if the wifi is on there shouldn't be any problem since there is a data connection. How would the mobile connection affect that?
hmm.. school, wifi... you're credentials could be being hijacked. stop using wifi.

My credentials are most definitely fine, and besides, I don't have the luxury to overlook wifi with my overpriced 200 mb 3g plan

Yes, this is normal; I live in a place with spotty coverage as well, and trust me, on a phone with 4 registered Google accounts, re-entering passwords is a big bother!
The problem is that Android assumes that the connection problem is due to incorrect password rather than connectivity problem (because presumably the connection attempt was made before it realized that the connection is lost), and does not let you re-try with the same passwords even after a good connection is reestablished.
Workaround: simply disable Sync from the "control panel" widget when you're not sure you have good coverage.
Happens to me every time I switch up sim cards too. I had to replace one because it kept loosing data connection.. I jumped up and down when I found out it was not my N1!! Happy day!

Thanks for this explanation, I didn't know about this widget, I guess I will use it from now on Knowing that I am not the only one with this problem, I may now hope for a fix in the future.
Can't you just request a new sim from your carrier? just tell them the current one is faulty.

I don't know, my sim card doesn't seem faulty? It looks more like an android problem to me. Anyway if you think it might help I could try to get another one.

I can only speak for ATT on this but the answer is yes. You walk in, tell them you need to replace your sim, and they give you a new one at no cost; this has been my experience for myself and for replacing my better half's sim for her iphone.
It can't hurt to try a new sim...the worst that can happen? Nothing
Hello,
I know this is an old thread, but I found a solution if anyone is interested.
It would appear that I would lose my google account's credentials everytime my phone lost cell signal and tried to look for the "partner" network.
Well it seems I can fix the problem by forcing my phone to stay on "WCDMA only" instead of "WCDMA preferred". Downside is that I wouldn't be able to go on the partner network when I'm outside my main network.
To do that just type *#*#4636#*#* on your phone application and a settings screen will pop up. You can find WCDMA Only in "Phone Options".
I hope it can help someone
As title says, I rooted my phone with little issue minus a "soft brick" I guess you could call it. Phone operates normally now except for the wifi. I can connect and use wifi fine, but if I restart the phone, or if the wifi drops, It'll only notify me of networks to connect to, and won't connect automatically to my home network.
This feature worked fine before root and I don't remember having to alter any settings to get it connect automatically. If there's any other information I can provide let me know.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Funny, the search pulled up a lot of results for me.
If your having issues after you root a device, it's best to search in the root thread of that phone as others may have the same issue. RETARD.
PS. I see the answer in one of these screen shots, that was pretty easy huh.
