Hi every one
Had a quick look in the forum and could not find the answer for my question but if it has been delt with before I appologise now. Got a second hand XDA O2 mini s unlocked, everything seem to work ok, but when I come to get onto the internet at home using wifi to my router just keeps telling cannot locate that page try again later. I have set up the wifi to the router and it tells me it is connected, am I missing something? any help would be appriciated, thanking you for your time in this.

I'm having the same issue. any answers to this would be great. i'm brand new to the smartphones but was a geek from way back... its awesome how far tech has come and all but it's been ten years since i played with linux or any kind of actual programming or networking. while i am eager and excited to learn this inside and out... a cheat sheet of sorts to get me started would be great.
Lets see
Have you tried to use another Navigator as OPERA? or tried to confirm if you have Internet Connection trough wifi? you can try this with the Windows live Messenger for WM or with the Windows Marketplace.
Another tip: try putting off the Security of your router. i remember than in WM5 (few years ago) my wiza Won't connect to the router because the Security was WPA. to get it work i just put WEP security Password.
Good Luck!

you can, you might have better luck than me. im still trying to connect to the net, i can view files from my pc and sync via activesync but thats it.
i have searched and searched this forum but nobody seems to have the answer or the settings. prob be cause they are different in each case

Wireless
I have got the xda2s recently as well and I have been trying to connect to the internet via my router at home, but no use.....is it from the software or it needs some sort of upgrading steps??
I hope some one who is proffessional in this matter could reply to us and tell us what to do?

My brand new xda 2i has been unlocked and I am on vodafone and everything works perfectly apart from the wifi. I am wanting to connect via wifi from my xda 2i to my netgear wireless router which is connected to my pc on a 2 mb broadband connection.
But its hopeless. I have had the device for a week now and nobody seems to have a clue on how we set this up. i am getting all sorts of advice but none of it works. Is there anyone out there that has the answer to our prayers?
PLEASE!!!! before i or should I say we go insane!!!! :twisted: :evil: :twisted:

I offer to help. But you seem to want instant gratification, with no effort on your part. That's not going to work. Nor is doing everything everyone says. How many times will you post the same thread? To connect you need to do a series of steps. Little baby steps. Their can be a number of reasons why you can't connect, part of connecting is finding out what is wrong.
Not wanting to do it that way, I suggest you find someone local you can pay to stop by your home and set it up for you.
Okay, any help on this would be massively appreciated!
I have an XDA IIs, and a Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router. After some initial farting around the two now talk happily to one another and I can browse the web on my lovely black brick.
So far so good.
Now for the bad part. My girlfriend just got an XDA Mini S.
Using the exact same settings as the IIs, the phone won't connect. It finds my wireless network, and I chose connect to The Internet (same as on the IIs). No joy. In wireless settings the status of the connection simply says Availalbe. Then I hit connect, it says connecting, then it goes right back to available.
Here's what I've tried with no joy...
* Phoning O2. They have no idea, say there's no official ROM update either and it ain't their problem. Grrr.
* Tried disabled all security and firewall.
* Tried WEP and WPA security with the right keys entered in the Mini S. (Can get the IIs to work on all of these)
* Turned of MAC filtering.
* Turned on MAC filtering with the Mini S MAC address on the allow list.
* Updated the firmware on the router to the very latest (December 05) version
* Hard reset the phone, reinstalling in 'personal' mode, then in 'basic' mode.
* Tried connecting to Work instead of the Internet. (Obviously not going to work but I'm getting desparate by this point)
* Turned the routers protected mode to Off and to On
* Set up the router as a basic access point with no security or firewall at all.
* Tried manually assigning an IP address to the phone.
All to no avail. I've seen others with similar problems elsewhere here and on the web with no joy. Its a real pain as she only got the phone for the wireless capabilities and my flipping PSP is better at the job than her brand new PDA!
She's threatening to break something (possibly parts of the chief exec of O2s anatomy) unless I can fix it. As I don't want to have to visit her in Durham prison for the next few years does anyone have any suggestions!
Please!
PS noted that aside from the obvious differences in Windows Mobile versions between my IIs and her Mini S; my wireless network adapter is listed as "tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet" and her's is listed as "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter". Its the only setup difference I can find.
Try changing wireless settings from best battery to best performance
Forgot to mention - I've already tried that one. Thanks for the suggestion though!
I found a registry hack elsewhere here to make the wizard connect in G-Mode. If i tried it, it wouldn't connect to all accesspoints i tried.
Perhaps this helps you, try to change between b/g mode.
Thanks for that. I have tried the router in both b and g mode as well as mixed with no luck.
Will have a look for the reg hack and see if that makes any differerece.
You genius steewb!
Installed the cab file with the reg hacks for g mode, reset and it worked. Hurrah!
Thank you so much.
(Incidentally I also turned ACK on the router off - though I doubt this made a difference. Just thought I'd mention it if anyone else was having problems and wanted to try it).
Incidentally the Mini S seems to get better wireless reception than my IIs. Might have to convince my girlfriend to swap phone with me now.
wifi problem
Actually, I had the same wifi problem with my Wizard connecting to Belkin pre-N router. Turning off QoS and Ack solved the issue. So I suspect you might have solved this by turning QoS/Ack off. Try turning it back on and see if the problem comes back.

as is mentioned many time in this forum, i decided to READ anything remotely similar to my problem and found a few references to the (o2) wizard having problems with wpa security. so i turned that off! and then my pc wouldn't connect! after a quick heart attack i solved that and now i am connected on both. Many thanks to all who posted in the networking forum.

sorry, wrong sub-forum, ask this in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=262
not trying to be harsh.. but you obviously lack some basic knowledge about wifi networking. first read this, and try to reflect bit on youre diamond
above that you question can never be answered with so little information about the problem... its like "help my car doesnt start, what is wrong with it?"
understand?
good..
i ve bought diamond 2 days back..... i want to connect to the internet on my phone using my laptops broadband connection....how to do that... ive tried sync but still no websites open...can u help or moro info
still this isnt the place to ask this question.. but ahh well her it goes.. hopefully some mod will replace this into the right subforum...
you have 2 possibilities...
connect to the internet trought activesync. or make use of the wifi router you already have..
i would go for the last option,
just turn on youre wlan on youre diamond, seek youre router and fill out the neccesary info, like the passkey...
if that does not work, sort out the settings in youre router... you must be sure youre router accepts new connections...
last time i checked, via activesync i always have inet... but i never use it trought that way..
HI, I recently purchased a HD2 and have been very impressed with it.
I have been scouring the internet for upgrades/tips/customisations etc and here seems to be the place to be.
Now I have Opera 10 and Opera 9.7 installed(Default)
I followed all the instructions to be able to watch BBC iPlayer to the letter.
I ofcourse got the "you need to be connected via WiFi to watch" message, so I promptly booted up my WiFi on the phone and connected to my home router.
As I did this, as per usual it connected fine with full signal strength. The only problem being that once connected I cannot access the internet via either browser on my phone, and worse, none of my machines connected to the router(via ethernet or WiFi).
In essence it completely shuts my router out, I have to turn my WiFi off on the phone, then turn the router off and on again just to get connection back for my computers.
It is most definitely the phone connecting causing the issue, since it only happens when I try to connect the phone to the router. It also only started when I changed the "opera:config" settings for BBC iPlayer.
I am at my wits end with it and really, really dont want to have to do a hard reset and lose all my new contacts/photo's/app's etc.
Any help is appreciated!

Before I post my reply I would just like to say, I think its great to still see active development and mature forums with timely and accurate responses.
Demon_man, you sir, are a legend. I had actually read that thread but discontinued halfway down due to a poster explaining they could still gain access to their hub.
In essence, it appears when I started using my Leo as a WiFi Hub it took on the default 192.168.1.1 IP as a static(which I assume was to emulate a router). Once I discontinued using it in that way both my router and phone had been assigned to same IP address, essentially cutting my router off when I connected my phone.
I have reset the adapters to get the IP from server in future.
I also already had the iPlayer tweak in place, but thanks for the link.
Many thanks again for such a speedy response.

Hello everybody!
I'm sorry, that I post here, but as I'm pretty new, I'm not allowed to write anything in the developers forum. I successfully enabled wifi in android and the phone finds my wlan network. When I enter the wlan-key the phone first connects and also establishes the connection. Unfortunately after it has connected it tells me, that it's out of range an tries to reconnect. Thus I never have a stable network, although the signal strength is at maximum. Has anybody also encountered this problem? Any hints? Router is Fritz!Box 7113 and wlan is wpa2 secured.
Already thanks for your replies!
get a better router(Linksys)..this has NOTHING to do with Android WiFi!
I know that my router is not the best, but I have several devices which have access to the router (two notebooks, one pc, xbox 360, windows mobile on HD Mini) and there the connection has always been stable and reliable. I NEVER had any disconnects now in the last three years. Therefore I'd suggest it's a software problem. Also somebody else has posted in the developers thread for wifi on android, that he has the same problem.
Okay now, I solved the problem preliminary.
First I used Android 2.2, where the problem occured. Now I switched back to 2.1 and patched the files in order to enable wlan. In 2.1 I can establish a stable connection to my router. Strange! Maybe someone could also mention that in the developers thread to help people who also had that problem.
