I've been trying to figure this out for awhile now and seemed to be stumped. I have my HD2 setup to dual boot into WP7 and MIUI Android, on WP7 I can seem to connect to my WiFi router at home but it shows the one dot on the meter instead of all of them. On the Android side it will show my network but then says it's poor and won't ever connect. I've tried to flash different radio's on here and nothing makes a difference.
So is it now hardware related? Or am I missing something on what to try and do? I haven't loaded a NAND build of Android on but anytime I've tried to load straight WP7 it seems to be the same thing.
My router is broadcasting in G-Only, would that be the cause of this? I didn't think I need to drop down the router broadcasting
Just loaded a nand version of Android and still the same issue.

Does anything else get connected to the WiFi?
What is the security type on the WiFi router?
I think its probably your router,
try it around someone elses house maybe?
My laptop and my wife's laptop connect to the router as well as the Wii, 360. My old myTouch and my wife's myTouch connects as well
Just the HD2 doesn't. I think it might not like Linksys routers
Got it to work...had to open it up and make sure the wifi antenna cord was connected and now I have full strength
hehe. glad it worked out for you.
and for anyone else who might have same problem...the best way to check whether the cable is loose or not just put on ur BLUETOOTH (yes i said bluetooth) and see if u can connect that as well.
if you cant...then its definately the loose cable.
why? cos on most of the htc devices including my hd2 and diamond and htc touch, the wifi / bluetooth cable is the same cable.

Yep I tried to connect with BT and it wouldn't find anything...now the wifi signal is rock solid and makes me enjoy the device. Since I already listed it for sale I might actually keep it I dunno lol

Hi,
I was searching the forum but haven't found any useful info about that.
Do you know any WM5 software which can change TyTN into wireless router ?
Something like WModem, but using 3G and WiFi in the same time.
My idea is to come back home, plug the charger into my phone , run WRouter and have wireless internet connection everywhere in the flat from my mobile connected to 3G web'n'walk T-Mobile network.
What do you think ?
Cheers,
BenOne
IMHO -
no way
no driver support for that
AFAIK no application
why? power consumtion on highest power setting is terrible, and battery is soon completelly depleted, there is also neecesary to left charger in phone...
if you need wifi router (w/ NAT, firewall, VPN...) you can buy inexpensive router for few bucks and it is more compatible, more stable, more usefull, more secure, far better manageable etc...
yeah right, but for what another device if I have one ?
I am charging my tytn everyday, you know how it eats battery...
just wanted to know, it could be quite useful. cheers
U can use bluetooth on the tytn as a router with a reg hack u can connect more then one computer, not the same range and speed but it is possible.
yeah but then everybode have to have bluetooth in their notebooks. we have 3 laptops in the flat and nobody has bluetooth in it. but what then ? everybody are connecting using dial-up, like thorugh normal usb cable, but instead of it, thorugh bluetooth ?
now we have like that - I am commin back home, connect tytn to my laptop, dial-up, and wireless in my laptop is ad-hoc configured, so everybody are connecting to my machine, and modem (tytn) is shared. if tytn has wireless, I thought, that I don't have to leave my laptop all the time turned on. It could be great to leave connected to charger and that's all. All the internet and local home network could be through that. If there was a linux distribution for this phone I am pretty sure this option would be one of main in netwokr configuration...
anyway thx. just wanted to know if there is any piece of soft for that...
benOne
have you seen this official htc link: http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htctytn.html?lang=en
it seems it could be possible with vista... but I'm not sure...
EDIT: NO WAY... This is just wireless modem driver for vista... but not for wifi connection! Sorry!
Anyway, I'm very interested in... it could be very interesting for other connections as well... to get online a game consolle...like nintendo wii...
I really hope this dream will come true!
yeah, imagine you play in the bus online. cool!
battery problem. in this configuration I give our tytn 1 hour working on wifi and 3g used together in the same time...
anyway at home you have charger, in a car aswell, you can buy few batteries on ebay and problem resolved heh
sooo, who can start write this application ?
to which company or open source coders team should I send this idea ?
You could tether your Tytn to your laptop using either a usb cable or bluetooth, then setup an adhoc network through your laptops wifi connection. All you need to do then is do internet connection sharing between your bluetooth DUN connection and your wifi card and you should be in business to let your flat mates connect to your adhoc, which essentially turns your laptop into a router. Let me know if that helps or if you have any further questions.
I've done this myself with my mates and it works flawlessly.
Yea, I searched around a while on this way back but there is no solution that I could find.
Your best bet is to either just use PAN bluetooth, or tether just one computer over bluetooth and share your connection via wifi. It's super easy on a mac, not sure about windows.

ehehe...NO, MATE.... There's NO adsl connection where I live... So I can just use my tytn as a HSDPA modem and I use to share his connection on my PC, BUT I'm not able to share it throug wifi on my wii...
I really hope a coder could solve this... even if I'm not sure it's possible.

yeah, cheers pal, I've already written about that above. I have this kind of network at my home frome the begninnig of using tytn. What I want is to stop using my laprop as a router, my tytn has everything to be a router itself, it needs just a piece of software. This thread is only about piece of software.
How far from the WiFi HotSpot can your X1 get before the connection is useless? I'm in a house and it barely works in the next room (newer house, walls made of drywall). My brother has an iPod Touch that works all over the house perfectly (same router). I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the WiFi radio on my X1?
i get v good coverage from the x1 as good as the iphone. try changing your radio firmware
WhyBe,
Is it set to best performance or best battery?
Go under settings to check.
Cheers.
Doesn't it depend on the HotSpot itself ?- I mean on the router, its signal strength and etc...I connect to my router trough 2 brick + concrete walls and have no problems at all...Always connected in every room

same , even good outside/inside the neighbours house ,
be sure to have the 1.15 or 1.16 radio (or smthing like that , the new ones)
+what poisonwolf said
and dont buy a metal case for ur phone
also helps if i slide open the phone for me ... and its good to face the router too (not with ur back towards it)

I can always connect to my router from the door on the street (I live on the first floor) and everywhere in the house including the bedroo with router being on the corridor outside.
And I did not tweak anything in my EnergyROM 3.0
Thanks all. I have never specifically changed my radio firmware. Is this something that is updated when I change ROMs? I've went from R1a to R2a to R3a. Does the radio get changed with these?
I have the X1 set to best performance.
It depends on what kind of router you have. The cheap ones are crappy. I have a medium spec one and I get good connectivity through 3 walls.
I have a LinkSys G router. It is pretty common. Everything I use works fine with it (3 laptops and iPod Touch). Only the X1 can see it but not connect.

Did you see the settings in the phone that allow you to use better Wi-Fi reception, but get poor battery life? I had problems with Wi-Fi until I set it to "better performance" rather than "better battery life".
Yes, it is set to best performance. My X1 recognizes the router but doesn't connect. I'm wondering if there is some other problem?
EDIT: OK, I just discovered that if I turn off the phone radio, the WiFi works properly. Is it supposed to be this way?
with linksys and all other routers really one have to upgrade the firmware once in awhile
to get best support with newer devices

Nope. There is a problem. I have no idea what it could be though . Maybe an update is a good thought.
I only use stock ROMs and haven't really tweaked my system beyond factory state. So I don't see why I need to update anything. I'm thinking there is some sort of conflict between my internet settings for the phone and the internet settings for the WiFi connection?

Mine did that when I 1st tried to set it up, it would find the network (hidden) ok, but would not connect. No matter what I tried, even though 2 pc's (wired), laptop (wireless), xbox (wired) & iPod touch (wireless) were working fine.
I gave up on the X1 and turned my attention to the router, tried a static IP for the X1 etc (it's back on DCHP now), after rebooting the router, the X1 connected and worked fine and it has ever since. I have no idea why - but initially it would not connect - something funny with the router.
I have a netgear router and every now and then kicks me off. i have to disable my wifi on the x1 and reconnect or even power off the router and back on for it to work.
Turn off your router for 1 minute and power back on then try to reconnect your x1.
I have a Linksys WRT160N router and it actually doesn't even detect it when it transmits mixed speed, only of I put it on B and G it detects it.
Otherwise the signal is average, a bit worse then my laptop.

I only use Wi-Fi at my university. Well basically my Wi-Fi works everywhere around campus, at the dorms, and at the movie theater right next to school.
It's freaking great, but I prefer 3G. I just can't afford it.
I have had a HTC phone since the Apache. I just switched jobs and they are a mixed shop of Mac Book Pro's and iPhones.
I won't get an iPhone and the AT&T service sucks in my state, cuts out all the time. (Co-workers have to leave offices and go to entry way to make/receive calls....) So I have a Sprint TP2 but I really need a way to tether it to my Mac.
Anyone have a solution? I would like to use the usb cable if I can. I know about the wifi router on the phone but need to save battery as much as possible.
Thanks in advance.
on my recent trip to Vegas i used wifi router and had it plugged in via USB. It'll charge... albeit painfully slow but it will. At times it would tell me that the power wasnt enough to charge so i turned down the backlight while charging to the bare minimum since wifi router kinda cut off on me when I pressed the power button. I'd still get that message but i would just unplug and plug it back in.
I dunno if OS X can do internet connection sharing via bluetooth, but if so, you could try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560865
The easier and best option is HTC WIFI router.
I have it installed in my US Tmo TP2 and my macbook works perfect. Even my daughter connects her Ipod touch.

ooops. you're right.
Sorry, I can't help then, because I tried to connect with the USB cable several times and didn't work. I think you still can charge the phone via USB while using the wife router...
ive tried 3 builds today. all of them are sense builds and none of them will work with wifi. it turns on it finds my network but wont connect.
ive never had a problem before on any builds.
thought it might have been my router but i tried with my moms incredible it was fine.
any ideas?
well i looked it up and apparently other people have had issues with the actual evo 4g and some routers.
can anyone guide me through setting up a fios router for a static ip so i can make this work.
i thought i had it setup right but i guess not
ok hopefully someone may read.
i setup a static ip on the phone. it will connect to the network now but i dont actually get any data... it says connected but i cant do anything web related. do i have to do anything on the router?
1-Tried a non-sense build before ? if then did the data work ?
2- whats your WinMo Rom ?
3- Do you copy your DATA.img or just create a new one when trying different builds ?
every build before has worked. its only evo roms that dont.
chuckydroid
and each time ive let it build its own data.img
son of a... trying a sense build now that isnt evo. and i can get it to connect with a static ip. but still no actual internet. just connected to the router
so i plugged another router into the crappy fios modem/router and i have that network up and i can connect to it without a static ip.
BUT i cant get that router to actually get internet from fios either...
so obviously its fios fault can anyone help fix that

You can look if your access point is giving dns adresses to your phone. Without dsn adresses you can connect but the translation from url to ipadresses wont work.
how do i check?
right now it says its connected to my network. i setup the static ip.
but in the fios router it doesnt show it as being connected. it shows 2 laptops in the house connected and my desktop so why not my phone?
Have you checked for mac-adress filtering in your router? Some of the builds give the device a different mac adress. Your router may be blocking unknown mac adresses.

**** sake. ive gone back to a nexus build and now this wont connect. something got screwed up royally. but i flashed a new winmo rom. new radio and tried all these different builds. how can a problem be still there?
once again im connected to the network but i get no data,
on fios i dont see my phone listed in the networked devices.
i checked mac filtering and its allowing any
i have that situation.
but i still have the 2nd router which i dont know why its not getting internet from the fios router but the network itself works
Maybe your router will only let see device who got a dhcp adres from your router. because you use a static ipadres maybe it will wont appear.

It is strange. Is your dhcp range big enough? Maybe expand this. Did you get a ip in the range of your other devices? DNS adresses (if necesary) you can get by about from your internet provider.
did you reboot router?
im officially about to go insane.
now in winmo it will connect to my wifi but it also doesnt really have a connection.
could this somehow be hardware?
i dont see how since it finds the network and have to put the pw in to connect..
ok thanks to everyone who suggested stuff.
i have no idea what just happened but after i tested my touch pro and saw that it connected. i just once again deleted the network on my hd2 and put it back in and it works without needing static ip.
i just wasted half a day and still dont know what the issue was...
but now im afraid to change builds again
Maybe a hiccup. Still was a strange issue. Happy for you it work now. I understand you're afraid to change build now. But what is life without taking risks

doubt it, ive used both before
I just got an HD2 (flashed windows 7) and when I try connecting it to my home network, it will say connecting and then after a while it shows "Connection Unsuccessful"
I have a linksys wrt610n router, and i even tried resetting the router but still the problem persists.
First I thought it might be a phone issue, but it was connecting perfectly fine to the local library's hotspot and a starbucks hotspot. So that means, it's definitely something wrong with my house network that it won't let me connect.
All the other devices : ipod touch, laptop, xbox 360, connect fine to the network.
Please help me with this issue, as I am using HD2 without a data plan so without wifi,i cant fully use the functionalities of hd2.
Thanks.
Is your ssid hidden? Wp7 has troubles with that, you could try the wp7 section without sounding cocky, there is a couple of threads mate about it, more help in there.
Sent from my HTC Leo using XDA Premium App
Yeah, even before flashing the rom the same problem existed. I think it's something wrong with my network, as I am able to connect perfectly fine with at a starbucks hotspot.
And no it's not hidden. The networks visible and the name of the network is with spaces -> cow boy , does that make a difference?
do you have mac filtering or anything turned on liked that in the router setup ??
do you have any crazy characters in the password like %^& ??? that could be a prob not sure also check these out looks like it could be a sd card problem, have you ever had it connect using android or winmo 6.5???
