Wifi and Internet Access on Verizon Stock ROM

Using the Off the shelf Verizon ROM with nothing else installed. the phone does NOT have a data plan.
When I turn on WiFi I am able to see all the networks but am unable to connect to any of them (secure or unsecure). The phone goes into "Connecting" mode and never connects to it. I've tried an open wifi (the one at starbucks), a WEP enabled wireless network (and yes I did put in the Netkey/password), and now a WPA network. All with the same result.
Everytime I try to do anything data related it tries to dial the #777 and do PPP over the cell line.
Is there anywhere/anyway to drop the Verizon Data Network. I deleted it and it comes right back each time.

Well there is no way to delete but there is a way to stop accidently dialing #777 by going to start>settings>connections tab>connections>Then under the carries's name (mine says sprint) there should be 3 clickable links click the one called Manage Existing connections>Press new>The setup will tell u how to do it for connection name i just used my name u can use anything you want press next after that>When it asked for the number dialed put #777 press next>It will take u to a login page Make a username BUT DON'T MAKE A PASS DO NOT MAKE A PASSWORD then press finish and choose the one you just made as ur primary one (put a dot in the little circle next to the name of the connection u just made) then press ok now test it out by hitting the internet button without the wifi on or anything if you did it right it should take you to a login page that you can just close to stop yourself dialeng #777

This is probably not the case, but if you can't even connect to unsecure networks, the signal strength is probably too weak. (Probably not the case if you are sitting right into the Starbucks)
I blocked data access on my phone and never went though the wizard on the phone. My phone doesn't even attempt to dial or do anything if i am not connected via ActiveSync or WiFi. Maybe you have a defective phone? Good luck.

Stock VZW ROM will have the default wifi power settings wrong to actually be able to connect to anything. Fix this by going to Settings-Connections-Wireless LAN-Power Mode and moving the slider all the way to Best Performance. This should enable you to connect to access points.

I always wondered what that power slider actually changes. I usually leave mine on best battery and still connect to my home network. What does best performance change?

internet on cdma hero

im not recieving picture messages and my sprint hero does not connect to the internet unless on wifi! i tried switch the mode of operation from hybrid (whatever that is) explain somebody, to evdo can someone help me out

Try Update Profile and see if that fixes it.
If you change it to EVDO only and you have no EVDO reception in your area then you will get nothing.

it also say my mobile network state is disconnected

I assume this box is checked?
Settings --> Wireless Controls --> Mobile Network
If you uncheck that, it will turn off the mobile network..

me too
I am getting the network disconnected problem occasionaly. Update profile or restart fix it. Hope this isn't a hero issue......

3G connection fail after disconnection from Wifi

As the title states i am having issues everytime i leave my wifi connection. I use my tab at home via wifi all the time but when i go out i am having connectivity issues over 3G. I am runing Straight Talk which runs on ATT network. When i experience the problem my 3G connection shows active and full bars but if i want to use either a browser, youtube,Tunein Radio, Google Play or any app that requires an internet connection i get an connect error message. I have tried disabeling inabeling the mobile data but still a no go. What i need to end up doing is i need to restart my tab to restore full 3G connectivity. On the flipside if i come home my tab connects to wifi with no problems. So anyone know why this could be happening?

[Q] Galaxy Y Duos GT-S6102 background data

Hello,
I have a GT-S6102 running Android 2.3 and i don't know what i triggered but i have the following problems with it:
- When sleeping if i try to push an application to the phone, it won't go
- When sleeping or online if i try to locate using android device manager it says location unavailable
The problems tend to get fixed after i reboot the phone and/or am on wifi, but on 3g nothing happens and yes, i have internet connection.
Bottomline question:
What and where can i check so that i can make sure the phone is ping-able by google servers either awake/sleeping/on 3g/on wifi ?
Maybe background data? But where can i check? I am having hard times finding stuff on 2.3 .
Thanks!

Open dialer & type *#*#4636#*#*. Testing screen opens up.
*To test phone's network, select Phone information. In the next screen, tap on Run ping test. If successful, it will show Pass in both Ping Hostname (www.google.com) & HTTP client test.
*Now, to test wifi network, go back to dialer & type the same code...but this time, select Wifi information followed by Run ping test on next screen. Check the result in the same way.
Hope this helps...!!!
