Wi-Fi..don't work..

Hi, in the last days I try without success to navigate with my P3600 connected to a wi-fi network. A friend of mine have a nokia with wi-fi ability, when activate the wi-fi search it found the network (unprotected) and navigate normally with the browser preinstalled. The connection on my trinity is normally estabilished, but when I launch IE no website is accessible. In wi-fi network cards settings I found two options, The Internet and Work, but in the Connection, Advanced Options, I can choose between five options (Impostazioni ufficio, Impostazioni Internet, Vodafone Web GPRS, Vodafone Wap GPRS and Vodafone MMS GPRS) but The Internet and Work are not present. Is possible that this is the cause of the problem?
I try also to install Opera Mini, in MIDlet Manager I can choose every settings (also The Internet and Work) but I can't navigate the web.
Please, help me to find a solution, my friend say that nokia is better than htc..

same to mine... only few hotspot can be used (mcdonald`s). it recognizes the network, connects to it but the browser doesn`t open any page.

I've been using my device to navigate the Internet at work, at home, abroad, with secured and unsecured Wireless Networks, so I guess it is a matter of settings or OS (ROM).

I can't navigate on any hotspot, it seems that I loose some config.. please, can you post how to config connection and wi-fi ?

I tried today to stop 3G and select GSM only - no use... I also tried to use opera instead of IE - no use... Probably it will work with a new firmware version, but for the moment I am satisfied with or without wi-fi.

I think that a reset hardware is the possible solution..

You could both try a hard reset and after that, if all fails, try a different Radio version.

It is the first time for a reset hw on my P3600, what is the exact procedure to follow? How to backup and restore my data (contacts, sms, settings, etc..)?

Read the Wiki and use search.

I have the same problem, the connection wifi lan is ok, but Explorer don’t find the web page. My workmate whit a ASUS have not problem.
I tried put in the Explorer the IP directions pages, and configure DNS in the PDA. Also tried with ROMs: Vodafone Windows Movile 5.0, HTC WM 5.0 and Faman 4.2, and several radios.
Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Which App is trying to connect to inet?

Hello,
I do have here a problem on WM6. Every time to time my device connects to the internet (GPRS) and stays connected.
I have installed the nodata application, ans disabled the GPRS connection. It works ok, but the device becomes very slow to respond the commands after a while. Some application is trying to connect to the net. Connmgr.exe process is getting almost 100% cpu usage.
I have disabled every automatic update, activesync and son on but the problem remains.
How can I find which app is trying to connect?
Regards
Cabiri

my 2 cents
connect via your activesync/device manager, and get online via your desktop internet connection. now with netstat -b or any packet capture tool, try to find out where it is connecting. you will get an idea about the prog from remote address. like if it connects to msn.com, it'll be live messenger.. something like this.
you can also use a advanced task manager on the phone to check which applications are running in the background.
hope that helps

Thans, I will try both soluctions.

same problem here. this is happening to me just last few weeks. i can't remember if i was messing with some options in any program, but even if i did i was just turning off automatic connections since i don't like them. i also tried to uninstall my latest software, but that didn't help.it is possible that it is some kind of malware, but kaspersky antivirus did not find any problems. i hope that someone will find solution for this becouse it is very annoying.
p.s.
if this causes significant data transfer you can go to Settings/Connections/Connections -> Advanced tab -> Select Networks, and change settings to "My Work Network"

if you have a weather update, this maybe the one triggering your mobile to connect to the Internet. just turn the Automatic Update off

no, it's not any weather plugin since i removed them long time ago. and when i used them automatic update was turned off. however, if weather plugin try to auto update and if it fails, then you get an error message. this one looks just like it continuosly try to connect and it uses almost all CPU until it gets connected. whatever this application is it looks hostile and i don't like it. the war is on!
thanks for help anyway

Hi,
I even disabled the HTC today plugin... and it remains doing the same.
Until now I had no chance to track the traffic, I will try on the next days.

finally i found the solution for my problem. seems like windows live messenger is causing all my problems. i found that phone is trying to connect to internet only after using wlm. usually after i'm finished using wlm i just terminate the program. and this is the problem. i should first sign out, and then terminate wlm. after this everything works just fine. so be sure to sign out before terminating wlm. i'm sure that this is the problem because i've tested my theory few times and i guess that this is it.
i hope this helps to you. if it does please report here

Yeah I have the same issue, i believe it's been on several version of Windows live messenger, actually, it's even on the version I have of WM6.1 (I have an Elfin with the blue elves rom from xda which has wm6.1)
it's quite sad that msft hasn't fixed this yet, it henders the phone completely useless and seems like it should be something easy to fix, stupid WLM should just not retry so brutely
anyways, actually if you change WLM to "manual" instead of "as items arrive" that does the trick too, but then now your push mail is gone ;( lame!

Hotmail connects over 3G and not over WiFi

Hi I have an Xperia X1a, ROM: X1a_GENERIC_NAM_CDF1219-1224_R2AA008, SIM free.
I used the HTC Connection Setup to autoconfigure my network settings of "TELCEL" in Mexico.
But When I use the WLM services (hotmail, messenger, etc) only connets over GPRS-3G (data connection) even if the WiFi connection is active.
I have unlimited data plan, but the 3G networks drains the battery very fast.
Why i can't connect Windows live Services over WIFI?????
I been reading the posts and threats about it, and found some info about Vodafone ROMS, but my ROM its Generic NAM.
Exist come reg. key for fix that???
Could some body help me.
Thanks A lot.
(Sorry for my bad Eng)

I have the same problem...
X1i with Generic_UK R2AA

gents do a firmware update and this will resolve the problem.
Go onto SE website support section. Select your phone. firmware update
download and run the software> follow the instructions on screen.
You will most likley get a promot to say that your software is up to date - press yes and do the firmware update anyway.
This will fix the problem of hotmail not connecting over wifi
also just to clarify
if wifi and 3g are switched on hotmail will try to connect over 3g/gprs instead of using the wifi connection. For me if i need to sync over wifi i turn the phone modual off from the comm manager and then sync over wifi-
hope that helps-
nass

I have the same issue with the Touch3d 3.5 rom. Im not sure i want to follow N2h advice since this will overwite any custom ROMs surely?

OK I followed N2h suggestion, this installed the generic R2A ROM and cleared my Touch-IT ROM off. Not too much of a problem but I still seem to have the same issue.
Perhaps its just my Windows Mobile Newbness - is there not a way to tell it to prefer a particular connection or to never automatically dial the GPRS connection so it has to use the WiFi?

As I wrote in my previous post I am using new R2AA ROM, I resolved the issue by disabling data connection using NoData

Anytime turn off wifi no 3g available anymore!

Anytime I turn off wifi connection and try to connect with 3g after it there´s no application can get any access to internet.
Even softreset or deleting and typing new ISP settings don´t work except hardreset until I turn on wifi and turn it off again.
Really weird!
Can anyone help me please!?
Thanks!

I had an issue recently that sounds very similar. I altered some wi-fi settings, specifically to have a fixed IP address on my home network and when I was away from my network, 3G stopped working.
My fix was to use the wizard to set up my data access again from scratch (Start - Settings - Connections - Connections Setup). After this, everything worked again. Not sure if this'll help, but might be worth a try.
I still don't know why one affected the other, but if I go anywhere near my data settings, it happens and is repeatable.

Problem fixed with original rom
Thanks for answer, but I tried your advice couple of times before.
No result!
but its the same, I have static IP at home too and connection works fine but after disabling wifi no internet connect available.
Now I flashed original HTC rom and I have no problem anymore. It has to deal with the cooked roms of Dutty (both versions v1.7 and v1.8 extreme).
I would like use one of these roms but I have to fix that!

I've had the problem and was fixed by - in connections... "Programs that access the internet use:" was "My work network" -ie wifi.. instead should be "Internet over GPRS"
changing it fixed it.
i find it annoying it should have "Try wifi first, if no access THEN use the Expensive data plan"

I´ve had tried that options too...no result!
But it has to deal with your hint I think. Maybe my settings don´t effect like it does with your handheld. Maybe something´s wrong with writing settings in registry?

I have a same issue.

there´re lot of people having that same issue....
Maybe Dutty by himself is able to give us answer?!

I´ve flashed Dutty´s 1.9 now but I have same issue again.
What´s wrong with my settings?
Same settings worked very well in original htc rom.
What the heck is going on?

Internet Issues on some applications

Hello,
I'm using my HD since it was released without major issue.
But since yesterday I have some issues with the internet connection over WiFi. I'm not using the connection from my operator because I have no data option and 1Mo cost about 10CHF (a bit less than 10$US...). The data connections are blocked by GPRS No Data (and HD Tweak there is the same option) it was working perfect till now.
I'm connected to my WiFi connection (I've tried at home and at work), and I can update the weather without any problem, I can also use the YouTube app, it's working fine. But others programs cannot connect, like Opera (very annoying), RSS... Also no more working with Facebook app, I've just installed it yesterday, and I had to install it with the USB connection because opera wouldn't connect (it's at this time I've notice the problem). When I've tried the facebook app yesterday it was working ok but a bit slowly, then today I've tried again and it's not working at all...
And the error message appear very quickly in all cases, like it didn't try to connect at all.
The problem should be somewhere with the connections settings because yesterday I was trying to configure MMS as I was not able to get it (and I'm still no able but I'm barely not using it), I'm pretty sure to set it back like before but it's so bull**** with all these settings everywhere.
I've tried a lot of thing, I restart many times, what can I try before the hard reset (I'll do it only if there is no other way because I've installed so many things on it, and I don't have time to do it again now).
Thanks in advance

Try a couple of things:
1. Go to Settings > Connections > Wifi > Wireless Networks > Network Adaptors and set 'My network card connects to' to The Internet
2. Go to Settings > Connections > Wifi > Advanced > Power Mode and set this to best performance
Soft reset and then let me know if this works

I had already try these step (except the performance/battery setting).
Anyway I was trying another time, I really don't know which change resolve the problem but after changing something for the X times I try Opera and it was not working, then I try the weather, it was working, and then Facebook app, it was working, and then ActivSync was able to sync my exchange data again and then opera was working again (without restart).
It's very stange and I don't like not to know what was the issue and even why it's working again suddenly... Maybe conflict between special app like Advance config, HD Tweak, Diamond TF3D Config, ChangeScreen, Lumos, ...
But now I don't wanna try to change anything since it's working correctly.
Thanks for the help by the way.
