Wifi - New Rom

hey I've searched pretty much everywhere and I can't find a solution, Got K-jam Rom 2.16.9.1, apart from not being able to find a better Rom, I can't fix my wifi issues, weak signal - struggles to connect and usually gives an error stating that it couldn't assign IP adress. ok so far I've put wifi setting to full performance and placed a registry hack, but nothing changed. assigning my own IP I haven't tried cause I don't know how to do it! anyhow I know this wifi problem is old, but perhaps there is a solution out there!
anyone come across a solution ?

Try to update the Radio ROM.

I'm having this same problem and I can't figure out how to fix it.
I'll try connecting to wifi at home and work and it'll say it's connecting but never actually connects, and then an error message will come up saying "cannot obtain a server assigned IP address"
and I've already updated my Radio to the 2.19.11 version. I also tried changing the access point name from "wap.voicestream.com" to "internet2.voicestream.com" and that didn't work either.
Please help!

ah dude if your using t-mobile, then u have to get 2.69, works best

If you have T-Mobile and you're having this problem it's because you can't use the proxy while you're connected to wifi. You have to go in to connection settings and remove the check from the use proxy checkbox.

i just checked the proxy setting and it actually wasnt checked...but im at my friends house and the wifi is actually working. i guess it just doesnt work at home and work haha.

If it works at your friends house and not at home or work, is your network protected? Did you supply it with the keys if it is?

Yeah at home my network is password protection and I do have the key, but still doesn't work :*(
The one I connected to earlier was an unsecure network, btw.

I have i Mate K-Jam with ROM 2.16.9.1 WWE. Post that I have upgraded Radio Rom to 2.47.11 which is available on XDA ftp site and it works well with 64 and 128 bit WEP key and over Wireless Access Points which are G or B standard.

It sounds like you may be using the wrong type of security on the network. Log in to the network with a laptop and then check the security settings. I generally use WPA-Personal with TKIP. However there are several other possibilities. My WIZA100 works fine with my g-54 set to TKIP.

I admit that I am somewhat unaware of some of the workings on the Wiz. However, I thought that the Radio Rom was only for the GSM functions. Does the ROM also include the Wireless Radio functions?

Ugh...wi-fi connection issues with Wing driving me crazy.

I just moved into this new place, just got the Cox Cable internet installed yesterday, picked up a new "Belkin N Wireless Router" model # F5D8233-4. Works fine with the laptop- I've had it setup using unsecured, WEP, & WPA/WPA2 Personal. No problems on the laptop. Inexpensive Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Basic.
However, the Wing will not cooperate at all. It only wants to connect to unsecured networks. It will connect to mine and others it detects in the appt complex. But as soon as any type of security is enabled it just tries to connect for a few seconds, then the network becomes unavailable. I'm soo tired of clicking around in the Wing with this stylus, I'm about to throw it out the window.
I've set up a static IP on the laptop so to better work with port forwarding & Azureus. Will this have an effect on what I'm trying to do? I can't see how it would, but I'm no expert.....
So here's what I've done. In the routers setup page, I've selected 64bit wep, typed in a passkey and hit generate. Wrote down the 4 keys it generated, saved the changes and exited the router setup. I think where I'm messing up is what I should be doing next with the Wing. Can anyone walk me through this?
About the only thing of note that I've done to the Wing as far as tweaking is concerned is to install Home Screen/Battery Status, overclocked to 260, and tweaked the registry to allow ring tones from the sd card.
HELP!!

maybe your wing uses the same ports as the ones you've forwarded to connect to your router. You should always make it really obscure (something like 65530-65534) to make sure that there are no conflicts between other apps and any port related protections your ISP may have implemented.
You are setting up your wing with the key, right? It might just be that the wing is incompatible with 64bit wep.

Let me clarify- the port forwarding was set up for the Azureus bit torrent client. Way obscure ports-in the 49,xxx-50,xxx range.
Yeah, setting up the wing with the key. The only choices are 64 and 128bit wep. And the WPA/PSK. Neither work. When the little window pops up asking for the net work key, I enter one of the ones I wrote down. The thing doesn't seem to be compatible with any type of security. Which kinda sucks....To use the wi-fi at home, I have to leave my router open to "signal thieves".

thats funny, actually.
I have my linksys wrt54g set to 64 bit 10 hex security and it works just fine. Maybe your problem has something to do with the wireless n part of your router? The wing is not compatible with draft-n. Does your router also broadcast with wireless-g or b?

It does...I just switched it over. Waiting for the Wing to reboot then I'll try again. Good thinking.

Ok, that didn't work either. The selections in the router are
1- Off
2- 802.11g,
3- 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11n
4- 802.11n
It was on #3, I changed to #2 and no luck. Grrr...

Have a look on your wireless lan power settings, my Wing also had huge wifi problems all fixed when I changed the power to better performance.

I think I found a thread that mentioned that while researching this problem. Anyways, I've already made that change.

Which network adapter is the wi-fi one? Is it this- "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter"?

oh by the way just remembered something from my noob years.
make sure that your wing's adapter connects to "the internet" not "work"

lol, Already made sure of that. Thanks tho.

I've had the exact same issue with my MDA and originally with my Wing. It works fine now, I'm not sure why.

I just flashed to Open Touch 6.5. Still a no-go.

ok am new with this i got the tmobile wing and with the wifi i can use the internet right so that means that if i don't have a data plan i can still use the internet without getting charge for data can someone explained to me the wifi issued thanks i don't want to use the internet and later get a big bill cause i don't have data plan on my phone thanks...
so what's the wifi on the wing for???

The wifi is just like a laptop's wifi, it connects to a wireless router and since it's not going through the cell phone towers, it will not charge you.

ok thank you very much

OMG....I'm getting soooooooooooooo tired of dickin around with this thing. Now it won't connect to any network, secured or not.
I tried importing a certificate from IE on my laptop, because I got an error message on the wing saying the net work needed a personal certificate to identify me. Didn't work.
I tried a hard rest. Didn't work.
I've tried about 56,345 soft resets. Didn't work.
If there were any trees in the state of Kansas, I'd go bang my head on one of them. :

It works fine with my current ROM. (JustMe by... Me. lol)

I'm pretty sure it's not a ROM issue...I just flashed this thing late last night. It started not connecting to anything late afternoon yesterday, while the stock T-Mobile ROM was installed.

The stock ROM never worked properly for me...
Try another ROM.

What's the best Internet Sharing Solution?

What's the best WiFi interenet sharing solution? WalkingHotSpot, WiFiRouter,
JoikuSpot, ICSControl, Internet Sharing, or Tethering, etc. Is there another option? What's the advantages and dissadvantages of each?
What I would really like is to have a solution that allows me to configure how many people can connect and/or some kind of security, WEP, or anything at all. Is that possible?
I tried using the Internet Sharing Utility but I would keep getting a Verizon sceen saying I needed to sign up for a different service. I tried both WalkingHotSpot and WiFiRouter. WifiRouter seemed to keep my WiFi on all the time and allowed unlimited people to connect with no security, and WalkingHotSpot I couldn't get working for some reason, but it didn't look like you could set up any security with that either. Thanks for the help and time..

I don't think wifirouter can be beat, I have used it and prefer it.

I hear there is a bug in it that allows it to keep your WiFi turned on all the time. I heard there is a WEP feature and a feature that allows you to kick IPs off from using it. Do you know anything about this? Thanks.

I am not sure what you are talking about.
But you can set up a secure wireless network. It is only on if the switch is on so when you disconnect and turn switch off its done.
I have run the program for 10+ hours straight while on the road it kept the wifes laptop connected anywhere we have connectivity. I do run a amplifer and external antenna for those weaker areas.
Go check out the documentation at this link to see if the info is there?
http://support.wmwifirouter.com/documentation/

What version of the software are you using? I don't remember seeing any of those options with my version. It seemed to still have WiFi working even when the button was off, the icon looked like it was still working, but I didn't test it.. Thanks...

wmwifirouter is my favorite and my dad's by far

Wifi lan without internet?

Hey.. i was wondering if i can make the HDs wifi router to a local LAN ROUTER ONLY.
I will use the phone as a local router to a test environment. In that i mean that i will use the phone as a test router where many clients can connect to, without using my mobilecompany 3g/whatever line.
When you create the wifi router now, you have to select which line i will use with the router.. but i cant deselect, so it only makes a virtual LAN with no internet connection.. Is that possible?

The first problem you have here, is that you can only connect 1 device to the wifi router, not multiple devices. Secondly, it does only route wifi, so I doubt you'd be able to create a LAN even if you could connect more than 1 device.
Have you looked at WMWifiRouter? (http://www.wmwifirouter.com/)
It's not free, but there is a trial version, and I believe it allows you to connect more than 1 device at a time. It would still be an internet connection, but everything would be assigned an IP address from the HD2, so you should be able to use it as a LAN regardless.
Also, it may be possible to use WMWifiRouter with the phone in Airplane mode, so that would obviously give you a LAN with no internet access. Again, you can't do this with the default router, but you may be able to do it with WMWifiRouter.

ok well..
Well... thats not right..
I had 3 computers connected to it today. So the thing that you only can connect 1 to the wifirouter, is sadly wrong...
I tried the thing putting it on airplane mode, but it doesn't work.. thats why i asked here. hehe.
I'll try the software you said

Okay, I take that back then. I've never actually tried it myself - that was something I read on here. Goes to show how trustworthy advice on here can be lol

Heheh
Found a crap solution. just create a new connection under connections which doesn't have any relation to your mobilecompany.

bah

well that didn't work either.. hehe.. And the problem you suggested is a "copy" of what the HDs already installed wifi router.. So you dont got that posibility.

Yeah, I only suggested that really because I thought that the in-built version could only be used for 1 device at a time.
The only thing I can think of now is to set a proxy for the internet connection on your phone, either a fake one, or a real one that simply blocks HTTP requests.
Worth a try?

..
Yup. Ill try that

i'm actually not sure how to do that.. can you tell me how?

Yes mate. Go to Settings (or Settings tab, Menu, All Settings) and Connections, Connections, and then "Set up my proxy server". I just tried setting it to my home PC (which has no proxy server running on it) and it allows the data connection, but returns 404 errors for any HTTP requests.
I've just tested this and I get 404 errors when making HTTP requests on my laptop. It seems to do what you need.
Hope it helps mate

GREAT! I will test it thanks m8

[Q] Wifi not working like other devices!

At school we have the wifi password, G2 connects but has limited funtionality... Ipods work fine can even download and browse youtube!. Thought it was and Android issue but friend brought inhis Motorola Xoom and it browsed Youtube flawlessly in 720p and could even access and download apps throught the market! I figured maybe he was just lucky and my G2 was not configured right. But this really puzzled me when another friends brings a Metro PCS (P.O.S.) Android phone in and can download and browse youtube and download as well....
P.S. - When I had G1 Yotube did not work from app but occasinally while my other friend Moto Cliq worked and that ran 1.5 Cupcake while my G1 had 2.1 Eclaire!!!
Are out phone getting old? Not compatible? or is it just time to move on?

Something is definitely not right on your phone. I watch YouTube, download huge files, and everything internet related on WiFi on my Vision. I don't know how you get along without being able to!

You should try a factory reset and if that doesn't fix it take it to the shop and say wifi is not working as it should.

This is only at school though, at home it works fine... but everyone else's work without ease.

So is only youtube giving you issues, or any app that needs internet data?
Just an idea, but go to WiFi settings and try changing the network's security settings. For example, for my university I have to set the following:
EAP method: TTLS
Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPV2

I know what you mean. You might have to forget it and then enter that stuff when you connect to it again for the first time. Actually I think those security settings only show up for WPA2 networks, so everything I said may have been irrelevant
