I am having trouble connecting to my wifi at school. My school is on a secure network that you need a password to get into. My friends can get onto it fine with their phones, and my brother can get on it with his ipod touch with no problems at all, but my NS cannot get on. Does anyone know what the problem might be? When using a ipod to log on, I go into networks and select the secure school network and a windows pops up asking for the password--i enter it--and im in. With the NS i select the network and its just sitting there trying to connect but no window pops up asking for anything and it wont ever establish connection it will just disconnect after trying to connect for 5 minutes. I have selected the network and held it to bring up the "modify network" option and tried to enter a password on there and change up the EAP method and stuff (have no idea what that is) but nothing works. I have a home network that I can log onto fine and when I click on it it asks for the network password. Any solutions or advice??
Also I have found so far tat the ipod/iphone has a longer wifi range than the NS which is disappointing.
try logging through your phone browser using ur wifi user id and password first . i have the same issue with my uni network. every day i have to log in through the browser and then it automatically connects to wifi.

How exactly do I do this?
There are 2 networks at my school. THe student network and teacher network. If i select the teacher network my browser pops up with a webpage asking for a used id and password. When I sselect the student it just keeps trying to log on and nothing happens. (This is the same for ipod except when I select student network a little transparent window pops up asking for a password)
I tried opening the browser but it just pops up and says cannot log onto this webpage
Try connecting via the app "WiFinder" I find that sometimes connects more successfully than android stock feature.
Let us know how u get on

when you try and use ICS it tries to connect to the sprint server but kicks it back saying user name and or password are not correct. but the sprint and pam accounts do not let you manually enter username and password. so you cant connect and it seems that when running active sync it overrides the netork connection
I get the same error when trying to use ICS. You can change the sprint connection settings if you go to Connections in the Settings and click advanced but that doesn't seem to work for me either. The only way I can get ICS to work correctly is open up IE and go to a webpage, once Vision makes the connection, close IE and then go to ICS and hit connect and it will just tell me to plug in my phone. This is the first day I had my Mogul and I'm already finding stuff I don't like over my 6700.
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?
Hello Everybody. I'm in the situation that i live at college. To connect to the internet, we have to write a username and password in a webbrowser, and then we are online. If i do not log in, i will only have permission to my own little network.
My problem is now:
When i try to log on to my access point through WIFI on my LEO(hd2), its like rejecting the connection and says the password is wrong. But it works fine with my laptap and even with my old iPhone 3g... So wtf is wrong with the HTC phones? Actually i also tried to use my brothers HTC DIAMOND 2 which is also running with windows mobile 6.5, and he had the same problem. "No access to my WIFI " I have tried to change my AP hardware to some other brand, but still same problem.
Another thing is that the HD2's wifi works fine at places where i dont have to log in first to get online. (Example at my parents)
So what can be wrong? The fact is that my laptap and old iphone works fine on my wifi network. They will log on to the network(without being on the internet) and after i have opened the browser and entered the username and password, im online.
I'm a bit screwed, because i want it to work, but i have no solution.. :S Why can i log on to the wifi with my laptap and iphone but not the HD2?
Please help.
Best regards.
One more thing.
1 more thing..
If here are any danes. i get this error in danish if i wait along time:
"Der kan ikke hentes en servertildelt IP-adresse. Prøv igen senere, eller angiv en IP-adresse i Netværksindstillinger".
In english:
"There can not be downloaded a server assigned IP address. Please try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings."
have you tried skyfire or opera instead of IE
Well...
Well, its not the browser which is the problem.. I cant connect to the WIFI... so i never come to that point to write username and password.
and im already using opera

Do you know what security is used at ur college wifi ?
At our office we used highest wpa2 enterprise security which needs username\password to log on to network. So please check settings in ur laptop and iphone ... u may need to disable certificate check in registry.
After couple of days troublshooting what worked in my Touch Viva windows 6.1 , Try this
1, Add Dword with some registry editor (search forum for how to edit registry)
HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\ValidateServerCert=dword:00000000
2, I went into Settings > Connections (tab) > Wi-Fi > Network Adapters (Tab)
> and selected "NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver" and I had to set a static IP configuration in the NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver's settings before it would work, Dont worry it will assign ip address by DHCP even then
ok
Okay, i will try that later thanks.
to rathule
its not my college wifi, its my own AP and wifi, which is connceted with a cable in the wall.

ok but u mentioned 'Cant connect to WIFI on college' . So i believe the accesspoint is managed by sombody else. Even then try the above settings.
Well
Well, i live at a college which access me internet through a cable in the wall. I have then connected my own wifi to it. But hmm, im not pretty sure what you meant i should do. i got a registy program on it now.

ohh ok then do the following.
1-set manual ip address of ur network in NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver. then try to connect.
2-set ur wifi from saving to best performance in HD2 (u can change later on)
3-Identify what settings have u set on ur wifi router ? if it something like wpa then change add dwod in registry as sid above.
4-Create a wifi profile manually in ur Hd2
what i do in my college here is go to the help desck or IT office in your college and regester your HD2 " ID" or i think it called IMEI
because what i think is your college blocked you
I've searched several forums for this problem with no luck. It seems this is not specific to the Droid X but many Android devices with some posts 2 years old. I figured this was a good place to start. Surely it's been solved by now.
I've been trying to connect to our guest wifi network at the hospital where I work. The X says connected and gives me a good signal. When I try to open the browser it doesn't give me the screen where I agree to the terms to get access. It attempts to send me to http s: //1.1.1.1... but the page never loads and instead gives an error about the lack of connection.
The network is open but the SSID is hidden. I have setup a new wifi connection with 'guest' and it sees the network. I can briefly see Citrix popup on the browser address bar before it sends me to the failure screen. I have turned off the popup blocker and tried the default browser, Dolphin, Skyfire, and XScope. I've also tried Open Wifi Login but since all I need to do is click this crazy button it doesn't work. The security certificate box is unchecked in settings and I've tried changing the browsers to desktop and even iphone. I do not have access to the router itself. I can connect to my secure wifi at home with no problem.
Sorry for dragging this out but I wanted to give as much info as possible. I've seen posts various places about this but never a solution. The worst part is a friend of mine has a new iphone and it brings the confirmation screen up and he's in immediately. Of course I've harassed the crap out of him about my huge screen, etc so he's really loving this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Not sure, but the first weekend after the phone came out I was at a hotel in AL for a wedding and was able to connect to a guest access. The droid told me it found a wireless network, I connected and opened the browser and it took me to a page where I had to click 1 day access. All I can say is try getting a laptop or another phone and see if you see the address it goes to and email the link to yourself and try to connect that way.

it seems like this happened maybe after I started using my phone with my dsl router for internet via wifi. anyway, I believe the error message also says something about the #777 that the connection dials as if it's a problem. I'm assuming that has always been the number, so maybe the problem isn't the number (?). so now I can barely connect to the internet with my data connection.google maps comes up tho momentarily.
MY experience with this has been totally annoying! ! ! The single and ONLY BAD thing about this phone.
What I experience is that for some unknown reason the Imagio looses the password to the data connection, and therefore can't connect the data side. It remembers the user name ([email protected]) but looses the password.
The only solution Ihave found is to go to settings/connections/connections/manage existing and edit the connection and re-re-re-re-re-re-re-enter the password.
I changed the registry setting in HKLM\comm\connMgr\Providers\7c4b...blah\VerizonWireless\RequirePw to 0, but no joy
I also changed connections.xml to include the [email protected], AND password, and requirePw = 0 with no joy there either.
I use WiFi when I'm at home, and every time I leave home, I have to re-enter the password. This is totally annoying.
IF I leave the data connection on, it will remain connected, but if I disconnect, I will have to reenter the password. That sucks.
I'm using the stock MR2 ROM.
Oh, no help from VZW, they say it's some program I'm running. Yeah, right.
Like there's a piece of software or some game that I'm running that's going to change the data connection's password. Right, and I own swamp land in Florida too.
It's bad enough that I can't use a hard IP address on Wifi when at home because the CDMA data side will also try to use that hard address, so the only solution I found is to use DHCP on WiFi so it will also work on the CDMA side.
IF someone knows a way that I can have something enter the password even on a timed basis, I would be very happy.
Until then, every time I connect to the CDMA data side, I have to enter the password or get the damn ppp error, can't connect message.
Just sharing MY experience.....
so what's the password?
For verizon (which is what I know)
Verizon
Username:
[email protected]
Password:
vzw
oh silly me. i use pageplus. but thanks anyway
