[Help Needed] WIFI Issue - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Everything is working with my Wp7 install on HD2 but i dont know but no matter what i do i am not been able to connect wifi
Is there a way i can fix wifi connection issue ?

well you cant connect to hidden networks, but if you cant see any networks where before you could then its most likely an SD card issue.
Its well documented that wifi, laging, random restarts or no memory is to do with an incompatible SD card

Change your security settings EG: Wpa2, Wpa or Wep. But switch your mobile off first, then change the settings, then swich it on and see if all OK.
If it does'nt work, then format you sd card and start again, but leave your wifi off, until ready. Now switch on your wifi, the phone should now see it.

it is an incompatible SD card

Since nobody mentioned this one yet...
You'll also have trouble connecting if you're using MAC-based filtering to only allow specific devices on your network. (WP7 MAC address is different from your HD2's regular one, and it also changes on every boot)
OP: you'll get better help if you provide some more details! At what point are you having trouble:
You don't see any wifi networks at all
You don't see your network listed
You see your network, but can't connect to it
If it's the first, most likely WP7 is not happy with your choice of MicroSD card, and you'll have to try a different one.

I have the same problem. I can find networks but I cant connect to mine everytime i tried to. It sometimes connects sometimes doesn't. I'm using a passphrase not mac filter.

Weird WiFi/connection problems

He all,
I got some connection problems.
If i insert my WiFi card(sandisk 256+WiFi) my I-mate detects it and the antanna is displayed in de buttom of my screen but whenni go to my browser(internet) the message :Cannot connect with current conection settings. To change your connection setting, tap settings.
But i have no id how to change the settings to make it work with my wireless network.
Also the WiFi card couses to freeze the system every once and while.If i take the card out everything is okey again.
I got the I-mate jam with latest rom and radio drivers and I already installed the drivers of the WiFi card.
I hope you guys can help me out with this one
Thanks in advance

Nobody that can help a poor guy out ?

I had a similar problem with my XDAII, believe it is likely to be a known problem and related to the dual function of the card.
Have you tried the website for updated drivers?
The other options are to ensure that it you have the correct settings for Work or Internet to connect to.
I assume you are connecting to a wireless Access Point on a home based WIFI system, or are you trying to connect to public hot spots?
Contacted clubimate?
It started after I installed the latest rom version you guys think I migh work if I installed the older version?>
GreetZ
Nick
which rom are you referring to, an original manufacturer version or a cooked rom from this site?
if it is a licensed version, I would contact imate, have you installed the latest drivers from the hardware supplier?
I think you may have to go to your wireless settings and ensure connect to the internet is selected. also,scan local networks and ensure you are connecting to the correct network.
my problem when I got that message was cause it was connecting to the guy next door with wep key required.
are you able to connect to your host pc via wifi using a mapped network drive? or are you simply using a wifi hotspot?
if using a wifi hotspot, you should select auto connect to non-preferred networks.
start - settings - connections and choose wireless or wifi or network and have a look at what is actually happening in the network configurations. if you are really struggling still, try posting some screen shots of your network connection settings
sorry misread post
Just to end this topic.
I returned it to sadisk and they said it was the memmory function.
I couldn't get a new one form the store i bought it so I got my money back,
I now have a new one without the extra memory.

Wifi connects... sometimes only???

Hi all.
My qtek is not ok...
I used to have WM2003 2nd Edition. Very hard to set up my Wi-Fi connection... After some time, and all the possible configurations, I managed to access the internet using it...
On the next day or so... nothing...
Well, good reason to upgrade to WM6. Just finished, upgrade ok, I think.
Wi-Fi not much... Once again, my SSID cannout be found - just my neiboughors´s... Add it manually, after some tries with the "work" and "Internet" options, it worked...
I made a soft reset, and now cannot connect anymore... SSID appears as unavailable, and is impossible to connect to it... My laptop is working fine with the same router, same ssid, same everything
Tried to delete the connection and create new one several times, nops...
Is it normal that the network cards work sometimes, and then without any changes, stops working?
Thanks for your help
Definetely no. Try to adjust the router to broadcast in 802.11b only but I think that will not help, something is wrong with the network card I think...But you should try
BTW turning on the wifi on WM6/WM 6.1 is kind of strange, you have to enter in the comm manager, then settigns->wifi->turn on wifi, and finally to turn it on the comm manager. How did you turned it on?
yes mate, I also believe the problem is with the network card.
Is there any way I can test it?
Is there a way I can substitute it?
Or my best shot is buy one SD network card (that will use the only SD available...)
Have you tried to connect to other networks aside from yours? The reason I am asking is because you can see your neighbor's network, so it is weird that it would see yours randomly. Try with different networks before spending the money in a SD wifi card. Good luck.
Understood... kind of
hi guys
I tried the Simeonfilipov suggestion of adjusting the router to broadcast in 802.11b only and Wifi connects in no time...
Now I have slow wireless connection, but all devices can use it
Does anybody around have a D-Link DSL G624T router working fine with a Blue Angel integrated network card??
Can you publish or email me the specs to let me check mine?
Thank you all guys.
So the problem is not in the network card You have to have an option in the router menu to broadcast mixed signal - B an G, to use G on your laptop for example for faster connection, and B for the Blue Angel ? Good luck!

[Q] Problem with wifi Samsung Galaxy 5 (i5500)

Hi, I've some problem with wifi connections. I own a lynksis wag54g2 wifi router. I can establish a connection, but after some times (it's not standard, it may vary), my device disconnect from the router and it's not able to reconnect. All that i can do is plug off my router (i take off the ac adapter) and when it's up again my phone can connect. it's very frustating, but i don't know what to do? i've tried setting something in wifi preferences' on my phone but nothing change. i've also flashed my firmware to the new one, hoping that it could fix that problem, but it didn't. someone could help me?
you can update the firmware to a newer one. this would fix your problem.

Hello.
I have a problem with WIFI on Galaxy 5 (i5500)(Europa) too. They have already changed my phone with new one, but the issue remains. So, for the second time now, I was able to connect my phone to my router for the first time, but after the first interruption or disconnection of WIFI I could not access to wifi anymore.
When I enable wifi in the phone starts ''connecting'' but then reports ''interrupted'' eventhough the signal is recognised as strong.
Firmwire version is the latest available. Router is encrypted with WPA2. Also I can access to router with my HTC Tattoo (Click).
Does anyone know the solution?
I have a decision to make(today), becouse If there is no solution to this I will change to another phone as I still can (Galaxy Spica).
Advise please.
Thanks a lot
What router do you have? have you tried with any other wifi network? i said that because my have this problem only with my router, and not for example with my girlfriend's one.
I found a little fix for my router, linksys wag54g2: open up the config page (192.168.1.1), go for wireless tab, select protection page and click on save settings. that reload the router and my phone is able to connect again.
Hi.
Thanks for your advice. There is some problem with router.. When I restart router the wifi on the phone works until swiched off or interruption becouse being out of range. When I try to connect to wifi again does not work unless I restart router again. ..catchy.. Interfering with mobile connection also makes the drop of wireless connection on my computer, so I need to restart router. I don't know the permanent solution. If anyone has any idea how repair this forever please let me know.
Best,
Thanks
Hi,
Here is my problem with my wifi with the galaxy 550.
For security reasons, my wifi network can't be detected (invisible). If i want to connect a new device by wifi, I must first set my wifi visible and then register my device.
Then I set my wifi as invisible again and the device can connect automaticaly to my network without "seeing" my wifi network.
Problem is that once i set my wifi as invisible again, my galaxy fail to connect because the network is unvisible.
Is there anyway to fix this ?
I have just read similar post on another thread and replied find it here
I ahvent installed anything, perhaps its to do with the handset if its locked to a particular carrier? just a guess and a question...
cheers

try to use static ip!!

I have an answer! Hope it works for you.
My provider gave me really easy solution for wifi connection not connecting even though it was my own network with all the right info. It worked great the first time, then for some reason the phone locked in the "off" position. So I removed the battery to reboot (later learned the right way by pushing the volume button on the left and the power button at the same time)
Anyway, try this....
turn phone off - remove battery - remove sim card - wait a few minutes - reassemble - then the network should log on with no problem.....Good luck!

Hi,
did you set your APN? Type "(Name of your Operator) APN" in Google and you will find it.
Then put this things in Settings, Mobile Network, Add APN.

@trane
The issue is with WiFi. Not Mobile Operators internet connection.
I am experiencing the issue as well...HD2 doesn't pickup any APs while my HTC Surround shows all of them....
Any clue, anyone?
It seems to be a little finicky about wifi sometimes.
My biggest bugbear is that it wont connect to hidden wireless networks (not broadcasting SSID's), which a lot of companies use as extra security.
Can you see them with an android build?

uhm... you should:
1. Check your IP if your modem does not support DHCP, note that WM7 does not allow you set static IP
2. Never change your SD card if you don't want to hard reset WM7, because with WM7, your SD card is a component that can not change or remove.
I am also getting this error.
I can't find any Wifi connections
It is beacause of your SD CARD! put it out and restart then you will see that it will work. Or does you SD Card work for you? under info on settings do you have nearly the amount of space you should have with your SD Card or ls than 150 mb?

Thanks a million.
That did the Trick
I had exactly the same problem.
I could see the wirless network but when connecting WP7 would say "cannot connect to this network".
I have a wireless MAC filter enabled on my router.
The HD2 with WM6.5.5 was already added to this access list.
It turns out with WP7, the MAC address for the phone is now different.
I checked my router log, added this new MAC address & WiFi is now working fine.
Another things to try for those that are struggling.

I hate this too as I hide my network. Some things at least if they can't be set up while your network is hidden, at least you can broadcast it, set it up, and the hide it again and it will still work. but with winpnone 7, that does not even work, you have to leave it broadcasting or it will not re-connect. Even my dumb Nokia 6086 will connect to a hidden network for UMA calling. Maybe Nokia will fix this issue with winphone 7.
Cant connect to wi-fi...
Tried with adata 4gb class 6 card and without the card and no luck.
The card is space is recognized by WP7.
Transcend 8GB class 4 also no luck.
It can detect a bad password but cant connect to wi-fi if correct password.
Any ideas?
Also tried to reflash with and without card.
I have the last radio .50
HSPL4 2.08
MGLRD 1.13
Edit: it did connected to open network

WiFi issue

I'm having the issue where anytime I restart my phone, it can't activate WiFi. When I go to the configure WiFi settings, it lists my MAC address as 02:00:00:00:00:00 and the IP Address is unavailable.
I can fix it by removing my SIM card, reboot the phone with the SIM out, rebooting the phone, connecting to WiFi and then reinsert my SIM. It used to do this every once in a while, now it's doing it every time.
Anyone know how to fix it or what the issue is? It also exists over different roms and versions of Android.
You might try to get a new sim card from your carrier and see if that helps. If you can connect to WiFi with the sim card removed it sounds like it might be an issue with your sim card.

Hello...
Judging by other threads found in the help forum, it rather sounds like a hardware issue:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/forum/4746?query=Mac 02:00:00:00:00:00
Also different devices, different possibilities: software/hardware: https://www.google.fr/search?q=nexu...9i57.9963j0j4&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
No real causes or solutions available at the moment.
Good luck...
I'd recommend a factory reset
