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.

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?

Google account connection / Market connection

Ok, I prolly worked myself in to some troubles. The htc hero was launched 2 days ago in netherlands...but was delayed in belgium for another week.
This for the youtube application that cannot exist on the htc hero for Belgium.
So I just went to netherland and bought a htc hero with the youtube application.
After playing with the htc hero I marked a quite big problem
1) I cannot connect to my google email.
With that I cannot connect to the andriod market for apps etc...
Could this be because I'm using my phone in Belgium? Where actually you should have a other phone? I remember reading something about regioblock?
Someone with info/solutions?

I've got the same problem with my Dutch Hero, but I live in the Netherlands (Vodafone NL)

edit : Tried to add hotmail manually (true email apps) works
edit : tried to add gmail manually (true email apps) works!
connecting before market...fails

check in settings > wireless > mobile networks > access point names
select the one for your network and check to make sure there is no proxy listed.
make sure it is just PROXY that you delete, and not MMS PROXY, as otherwise your MMS will stop working.
hopefully that will help.
I get the feeling that some of this stufff i blocked by the network proxies the same as MSN and youtube are blocked by proxies on WinMo handsets.

No I saw that more ppl have this problem.
It's not connecting using UMTS or WiFi, so it's not a network problem, it's a Hero problem.

Their was only the base mobile internet (gprs.base.be) and base MMS.
The base mobile internet was not marked on,so I did that but stil not working...

Just reset your phone to fabric settings and fill in your gmail account when the phone bootes (in the phone setup wizard) and everything will work fine.
Shut down the phone and press home button + back button + power button to start the reset, follow the screen for insructions.

They told me you have to have connection true 3g with your sim card...
To make the first connection you need this and no wifi...
I copy from the android forum :
I'll say it again.
You CAN'T set up Google Sync through an unprovisioned data package.
Now I though you could use wifi to set it up but you can't. You HAVE to set up Google Sync through 3G and it has to be through a Mobile Internet add-on!
Once set up you can use wifi/2g/3g/hsdpa
I know it doesnt make any sense but Google Sync doesn't use WiFi for the first set up and the Service Provider blocks Google Unless you use one of their data tariffs... Really Google should be provisioned to set up through wifi but probably part of this anti piracy malarky...
Yet again awsome phone, shockingly bad service providers.
Just wait till the data is provisioned and restart your phone. No luck then reset to factory defaults and try again.
(I had to do the same thing)

I had problems with connecting to Market then I did a hard reset on the phone and setup google account during initial wizard and it worked ok.
If your 3g network has restrictions you can always try wi-fi at your local hotspot

I still can't get wifi to provide a data connection, has to bephone network. Have tried several factory reboots :-(

if you are willing to experiment you could maybe flash your hero with WWE R3 rom release (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533808)
However, be prepared to accept the fact that USB might not work until newer edition of ROM is available

not sure i believe that, as i have one at work and have signed in multiple times to google after a hard reset without a sim even being in the phone!
It even asks you if you want to use Wifi during the intial start up process, so it definitely CAN use the wifi for the initial set up, or at least the one we have here can!

just received hero and this misfunctionality is really irritating.
Does anybody knows how to reinstall this applications new?
it should be gmail, market and gtalk.
thanks in advance-

very odd.
Had a friend in NL that had this problem, but when we looked, it turned out that only the Vodafone MMS APNs had been set up (or were the only ones visible) and creating one manualy fixed the problem. He didn't have WiFi to try with at the time.
it was very strange as again, he could browse over 3G!

just checked....the settings are OK: Vodafone IT, but still can not get in.
tried also without a sim, only wifi, same result no connection...
should i really reset it? any other ideas?
thx in advance

I did the reset....
I made sure I was directly at my wifi spot...connected to gmail went ok...market now works perfectly...
Strange tho...

could there be some sort of automatic check in with the google servers the first time the handset is ever turned on? maybe if that fails, it could be linked?

reset, first config done, now it works great, some things are real mistery....
thanks to all

hi guys
i dont know if this the right pleace to ask but
does the hero have AUTO SETUP CONNECTION ??
that when you first time put a sim card or go to other network the phone auto setup your data connection . like htc diamond

I guess the network branded ones may not, but the unbranded one i have been using at work certainly does.

No Internet!

Ok i can get wifi on it and download stuff. but when i disable wifi and try to just use the internet it wont connect to any thing.. any ideas? thanks

For me when I had this problem I would go to settings.... Network..... Then disabled connect through network.... Then enable it again... I'm not talking about wifi I'm talking about tmobile network.. This always works for me
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Try settings, network, and select GSM only. Worked for me on ATT with a Euro HD2.

WTF.. i have tried 5 or 6 different android version on my htc hd2, and the internet doesn't work.. like the guy said about i can download everyrthing on wifi, but thats it.. Am i missing something??? i tried the about but doesn't work..
some one please help. Thanks.

still nothing cant some one help plz lol..

I have the same issue.
WiFi is working fine, but mobile internet doesn't work.
I tried to set up connection setting, but without success.
P.S. In WM6.5 internet is working good.

I had this same problem few days ago when first installing Android in my HD2. I discover that my problem isn't in Android but rather the mobile internet settings within Android, namely missing APNs.
Boot up Android, go to settings> Wireless... >mobile internet settings> APN.
If there is nothing in there that is the problem. Just google for the carrier's APN and enter it manually. u need to press the 'start' menu button on the phone in order to bring up the option to enter new APN.
Hope this helps
PS: I'm using MDJ Froyo Revolution 1.5

[Q] No Mobile Data with NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA-SD V2.2 & 2.3

With NexusHD2 2.3 (and 2.2) mobile data does not work.
On v2.0 this works fine. But not with v2.3.
I tried to replace the initrd.gz (/kernel/boot/) with the one from the v2.0 zip. But that didn't solve anything.
Anyone have this problem too? And what is the solution?
PS: My account requires me to switch roaming on to use mobile data.

i regularly have problems with either data or mms on new roms, until i delete some of the default APN's.
Im on o2 uk, and i get EIGHT different o2 default apn's, some for p a y g and some for post paid, plus some that try to combine data and mms settings intop one apn but dont work, plus there are two other networks that piggyback off o2, so i get those settings available as defaults too, , and until i delete all but two of the 02 ones, (one data one mms) data or mms (usually mms, sometimes data) doesn't work.
Probably not that, but i just wanted to rant about it, having had to do it just a few minutes ago, hehe.

never have this problem

Nope, that is not the issue here. The APN's list is empty.
This is about fresh/clean/new installs on NexusHD2.
So after a new Wipe (task29).
If I install NexusHD2 v2.0, then first thing I do after initial setup, is go to "System Settings >> More ... >> Mobile Networks" and switch on "Data roaming".
The signal status bar icon changes to show the little 'R'.
After that, I go to the browser and try to load a page... all working fine.
Exactly the same steps on a clean NexusHD2 v2.3 setup and it doesn't connect.
No little 'R' in the signal status bar icon.
It only sometimes shows 2 bars, and as soon as I want to connect online (via browser), bars are empty.
Same issue on NexusHD2 v2.2.
PS: I am using the normal NexusHD2-ICS-CM9 package, not the SD version. Downloaded from https://sites.google.com/site/nexushd2android/
PPS: I am using MAGLDR 1.13

I had the same issues for MMS on default settings. Tried many different setups, but without changes. Go SMS PRO solved my problem, but I’m not sure which settings were changed exactly.

I don't see how that has anything to do with my issue.

erm, really empty? cos if yes, then that's the problem.

odd, should only get a 'G', 'E' ('3g' on a few roms) or 'H'

Thanks, that seemed to be the problem. I manually created the VPN and now it works.
Still seems like a problem that in v2.0 the VPN is automatically recognized and created, but NOT on v2.1 and higher.
PS: The R in the signal stands for Roaming.

ahhhh roaming, of course, d'oh,

i hava a simular problem with the 2.2 rom.
when wifi and data connection are turned on and the phone is connected to wifi the internet works. but when i leave home and need a data connection (3G, 2G) he can't get the connection (connection bars are grey). the problem only occurs when wifi has been turned on since booth or when the wifi and data are turned off on boot and after(couple hours) a while the data connection is toggled.
if i go to settings for mobile network>mobile providers and reselect my provider the connections works again for a while.
does anyone know what the problem could be?
