When I view the wifi connections in the HTC HD2 and try to connect to my home wifi it just keeps saying, "Connecting" but, doesn't seem to connect. These are the things I'm unsure about:
The status of the connection on the HD2 is saying T-Mobile 3G. I am able to browse the interent and use data. The thing is that, when my home wifi is off, then the HD2 cannot connect to anything online like web browsing. I'm on a prepaid t-mobile plan so I'm not supposed to be able to use anything data related, browsing web etc.. so how come it says I'm connected to 3G and does not say I'm connected to Wifi?
It sounds like I'm connected to Wifi if I'm not able to get any data usage such as browsing web if my Wifi at home is down but, I'm not sure what's going on it's kind of confusing, since on the phone it does not say it's connected to WiFi and can't seem to connect to Wifi just says, "Connecting" and in the notification area for "WiFi" it says, "Not connected." If I click my home Wifi Connection here it just has a circle that keeps rotating around under my connection but, doesn't do anything. The other thing is that if I go online on the web through the HD2 the IP is not my home IP so that's also confusing since if I'm connected to wifi it should be my home network IP.

I've had two Wings with the same issue: no matter what access point I connect them to, the connection drops randomly.
When this happens, the icon in the display still shows as connected (two parallel arrows), the Wi-Fi status shows the device is associated and has a valid IP address, BatteryStatus shows the device is connected to the AP, and Comm Manager shows green on the Wi-Fi icon.
But, you cannot browse the Internet nor can you synch email (I use POP3, Live and Exchange direct push messaging).
Putting the device to sleep and reawakening it instantly reconnects Wi-Fi as does shutting the connection down and restarting it in Comm Manager.
This happens on any Wi-Fi access point, and I have tried about six: multiple T-Mobile hotspots, WPA2/AES and WPA/TKIP encrypted hotspots and completely open Linksys WRT54G access points.
This HAS to be a setting in WM6 or in the adapter settings somewhere. T-Mobile hasn't got a clue and many searches on the Net haven't turned up a clue.
Has anyone else seen this?
I too have noticed this
Its weird mine too loses connection I had always thought it was my WiFi at home because its a crap router but i guess not anyone have a fix?
I used to have an internet connection through the usb cable, and now I don't after making an unknown change. I can connect to wifi, but wanted to still have usb internet connections as some hotels I stay in do not have wifi. I've been messing around with the setting>connections, but no luck. I am also wondering if any of you Cingular customers have been able to connect with Edge even though you have the WIX blocked for the number. Mines connected and I was wondering if I will be charged.
Not sure how it will be called in an english ROM since I am running O2 GERMANY but you should be able to get this activated under START -> PROGRAMS ... look for an icon what indicates something like INTERNET SHARING. Click on that icon and activate Internet via USB again.
INTERNET SHARING, i just found that today now i am using my desktop thru the 8525.
Actually I am trying to go the other way. I would like the internet from the laptop.
when connected to activesync you automaticly have the laptops network on your pda unless you turned it off
All I get is "Cannot connect with current connection settings." I've tried all the different setting and still can't get an internet connection. Funny thing is that the HTC Home weather updates while connected, but not the internet. The wifi has no problems, but again a hotel might not have wifi.
Hi
I have the same problem, IE will not find any web site either via usb or wifi (ok via 3G) HTC home weather works fine. I then installed Mozilla minimo and I can surf with out problams. I think there must a be a hidden IE setting/registry problem that I don't know how to access
Hello,
I'm confused by the internet connection of my Topaz. I have set it to connect to 'my work network' so there is no internet connection possible over 3G/gprs/edge, but only when i'm connected to my computer over usb. When I don't set my phone like that, my experience is that it connects to the internet like all the time (with huge costs from my provider as a result)
On my past phones (regular phones), I used to have the internet enabled all the time, there wasn't even an option to turn it off I guess. They only went online when I opened the webbrowser and it disconnected edge automaticly when closing.
With my current setting on my topaz (work network) I can't update my status on facebook or twitter as it can't connect, and that's a bummer. But I can't turn it on because then it keeps connected all the time and my bill rises incredibly fast in one day.
How do I set my device so that the weather and all other automatic things can't connect to the mobile internet, in a way that the device only connects when I start to browse or update my status, and disconnects right after that? I don't want to disable weather totally because I still want to allow it updating through my USB connection.
I know there is a button 'Data connection' in the communication manager, but turning it off still doesn't do anything, i can still connect to the internet. When locking the device I can choose terminate connection, but it reopens automaticly.....
I simply don't want any data being transfered behind my back.
Search and download "NoData"
I'm trying to use my phone to connect to my home internet network. For some reason, it's not working. Why is it this?
I have turned on WiFi, I see the network show up on my phone, but when I open the IE, it doesnt work. My brother can connect through his Iphone on our home network, but I can't.
What can I do?
Problem resolved. Set your internet explorer/browser to "Work/Private Network" if connecting to your own ISP at home. Haven't tried other places, but will mess around with settings.
