Does wifi turn on? (Does the left LED blink like it does when wifi is turned on?)
If not, then it could be related to a cingular cab - did you install any of the cabs from the original cingular extended rom?
left led does blink.
ive also gotten as far as picking up a network.
i have tried everything, i cannot get my wifi to work at all. i dont know whats up.
the settings i needed (which i replicated for the new rom) on the old rom, was this
I would select networks, MY work network, this connects to the internet.
then in the WLAN adapter i had to manual enter my dns servers.
thats pretty much it to get it to work, but now with this rom it wont
Similar or different problem? Not sure. PARTLY SOLVED!

Hi NG,
I updated my O2 XDA mini s (German) from OS 1.3.4.2 to 2.16.9.1. (Radio 02.07.10 included). To be honest, I was never really happy with the quality and reliabilty of the radio. 4 out of 5 times it did work, but once in a while, especially while roaming, it gave me a headache. After unlocking and updating to the new version, WLAN looks to be working quite well, at least for connecting to access points, but it seems that it can't browse external websites. VXutils give back a socket error trying to access external (outside my home network) websites/Email.
Internal (inside my home network) connections work like a charm. Termincal Services client accesses my Win2003 Server no problem and I can also connect to a website hosted on my internal server. (http://servername:port).
Whenever I try to connect to external sources, the browser stops afer not successfully "locating" the respective server. On the other hand locating might not be the problem. Performing a ping to an external site with VXutils properly picks up the right ip address but cannot send/receive ping!
GPRS works as supposed. Can connect to sites with no problem.
May be somebody experiences the same problem or, even better, has a solution.
By the way I used @Work for all possible settings. The work profile is set up for both connection types.
Besides that, the new rom is really nice
EDIT Well after some time playing around, I have solved the problem or better the problem partly disapeared. In 'Settings' 'Network Adapters' I switched from Use server-assigned IP address to manual and entered IP, DNS, Gateway, etc. With these settings it everything worked after a soft-reset. Going back to DHCP and soft-reset, it first worked an now it doesn't anymore. At least there is a work around and I'm trying now some other things. All machines currently work with the DHCP settings correct. I will check and keep you updated if the problems comes from Server settings or from something in the PDA EDIT

i get as far as NETWORKS being detected. when i select one of the 3 that i pick up, i cannot connect. My own, pops up, and i get as far as entering the network key, then it tries to connect and doesnt.
this happens WITH or WITHOUT the DNS servers manualy entered in. anyone with some knowledge care to chime in and assist? thanks!

I can't get my WiFi card to initialize. After the upgrade, the card stays off. LED doesn't light. Is there a driver somewhere I could try to load?

did you change your Wizard to 802.11g. I found that once I did that, the card stopped working.. the setting was 4, but when i changed it to 8 it stopped worked..
it was some registry key. 802dotg or something ..
sorry i cant rember excatly.

Danrw. Concerning the registry settings, after patching the os I did change the registry settings. One already existed with the right value as shown in the 802.11g thread. The other one, DotG, I added.
After that, it did pick up a only G router!
As far as setting DNS manually. It is not enough to just cange the dns setting. You have to enter all the information and even after a soft-reset it takes some time to have the settings picked up... Use vxUTIL 'Info'-Screen to check the current settings. I did test wlan before and after applying packages from the extended rom. No change on reliability or performance on WLAN IMHO.
As far as I understand. Your problem is actually connecting to the router/Access Point. For testing please disable all security on your router and do a soft-reset before trying to access. Also since we have heard of several problems with model 9100 not realizing if an access point is available or not. Also change the SSID of your router and if possible the MAC Address of the router.
Don't forget to soft-reset and first try SDIO Adapter inyour pda with auto IP/DNS/etc. settings.
Another thought. Embarassing, but once I messed around with trying to get a new pda online and forgot to disable the mac filter settings in the router, which resulted in being able to see the active router but it didn't let me connect. After those two days I was missing a lot of hair.
Good luck
Lars

I did but only the minimum. I trimmed down their install to the basics. I narrowed it down to one of two CABs. Either the gprsstall or EnableEONS. I didn't install either of those and I"m now back up and running. Of course, I still can't get it to prefer WiFi to EDGE.
I had experienced the same problem with home wifi network after upgrading my rom. I saw in my laptop that the key was set to 2. I went to the network cards, clicked on my wifi network, and under Network Key swithed the value from 1 to 2. I can now connect to my wifi network at home.

I do not know if my solution will work for you because I upgraded my rom to 2.16 but lets give it a try. I use d-link DI-524 wifi router. Start menu > Settings > Connections (tab) > Network Cards [I must admit earlier today when I was trying to connect my k-jam to the wifi, I did get as far as it asking me for my authentication code and afterwards it timed-out] --> select your wifi network [at this moment as I'm trying this out my wifi on my k-jam is off] --> Network Key (tab) > it was the key index that I had to change from 1 to 2. Before doing this though, go to your router's wireless configuration page through your webbrowser and make sure the keyX (it looks for d-link this can be from key1 to key4 or at least on mine) and make sure the key index you select on your mda is the same number that is used on your router for code authentication.
Also I noticed after resetting my k-jam that I could get connected to my wifi but I could not surf, in wifi setting on my k-jam I had to hit renew ip and then I was able to surf.
I hope this works for you. Good luck and many late nights.
no luck with this for me
even tried removing wep all together. tried multiple routers.
i can detect the ssid's, but i cant connect to them. times out on the connect.
Mine worked no problem...you may already have had this suggestion but here was my process.
Unlocked with lokwiz
Upgraded
Reset before extended ROM apps installed
Installed total commander
deleted extended ROM
Upgraded again
i re-installed the CINGULAR ROM and WiFi works like a charm
......any clues?
Here's what I ended up finding out for mine. First, at the time I wrote this, I was running the 2.16 ROM. Now I'm running the 2.17, but the fix is the same with either.
Don't load the cingular add-ins GPRSSTALL or EONS. I narrowed it down to those two that were causing the issue. So, the only ones I install now are CingularMMSAccount, EdgeIcon, TimeStyle, WiFiRate4, and SmartDialingEnable. Thats it, and its all I've seen to be necessary from Cingular's little bundle 'o fun. Everything else I haven't found interferes with my ability to use the phone at all.
Hope this helps...

What does timestyle and wifirate4 do? I don't have these installed and haven't seen any problems.
Hi friends. Since I've bought my HTC Wizard, i've been reading the very nice posts on this forum. Now I'm with a little problem and hope someone can help me.
I'm using a Black Diamond WM6 ROM and having some problema with my wi-fi connection.
I have a wi-fi router at home. I start the Wizard wi-fi connection normaly, get my MAC adress recognized normaly. Then I visit a page or two, or download some e-mail on Outlook and the connection stops. I can't acess nothing else.
If I just restart the Wizards wi-fi connection, it turns right again.
Have anyone find some error like this before? I apreciate all incoming help.
Thanks
Are you using any kind of encryption (WPE, WPA...)?
Have you checked the connection with any other WiFi devices? Do you experience the same problem?
Sometimes WiFi encryption doesn't work properly on some routers (eg. Huawei HG520). Have a go without any encryption to see it that's the problem.
If it's not, I've no idea what's going on, sorry.
Hope it helps.
Hi there every one...
I got my phone just couple days ago, and I'm really satisfied with every thing , Bluetooth, GPS, Speed, etc...
but I got very interesting problem with the WiFi..
It detects networks, but can't connect to them.. also I can't connect to my home Wirless network,
When I try to connect to any WiFi network, it tries to connect and then it marks the connection with red "x" with comment that the network is unavailable
when I tried to make an adhoc connection with my Laptop, it says that it is connected, and could ping my phone..
tried later to connect to my WiFi network after I disabled all kinds of protections and encryptions and after I enabled the protections again... no good
please help, because WiFi is extremely important feature that I need...
ROM: PDA = PHONE = i780DXHD1
I didn't flash the device, nor touched the ROM...
any help will be very very appreciated
thanx in advance
common guys...
no body experienced such problem?????
please I need your help...
Well... could a 3D party WiFi manager force it to connect ??
if it could... can you please recommend me one?
You havent said much as to exactly whats happening vs what you've tried. Have you tried connecting to your home network with encryption off?If it connects with security switched off, then try connecting with wep on,then switch to wpa.
Well.. I did every thing you said and nothing happened... even after a hard reset...
also what I've noticed is I can't ping my phone on each connection... =(
sometimes it connects and can be pinged....and sometimes not which drove me crazy already =(
do you have any ideas???
Same here, no solution.

Hi guys... Actually i faced this problem several days ago. I think this is a bug but im not sure since im not expert in this. My i780 can connect to some networks and can't for some. Here is a trick:
In the network device tab, edit the setting of your Samsung wifi card
Change to Use specific IP address:
IP 192.168.0.1
and that's all for now, leave other settings default
Now you can connect to the network but cannot use it. And somehow when you disconnect the connection, the Wifi in your Wireless Connection might disappear. Try to reset the phone and the Wifi is back.
Change the settings back to Use server-assigned IP and you can use the Wifi now. It really works. And now my i780 can connect to any network, lucky me
Ahh, forgot abt this... You can refer to this topic as well. Hope this help

MMS Settings for Samsung i600
Hi there
Is there anyone who can possibly help me with MTN mms settings for a Samsung i600, I have tried *123*12# and it doesnt work.... I am tearing my hair out!!!!
Hi all I got the US HD2 when it first came out and since then I have been very happy with it. But just now for some reason it won't connect to my home wifi anymore. It worked this morning but then like an hour ago it just won't work. I did a hard reset and the problem still exists. Any chance that this is caused by maybe a overheat or anything like that? Or maybe it's time for me to go back to the store and get another one?
Also I tried so hard to get Skype for Windows Mobile working on it but no luck. I searched online and saw people saying it is working but for some reason it just won't connect at all. I managed to get to the login screen, type in the info and then click sign in. Then it just stayed at the Skype logging in screen with the rotating blue circle. After a minute or 2 an error pops up saying there is error connecting please check data connection. I tried to do this with wifi, 3g, and ActiveSync and they all got the same result. So anyone got any idea about why? I really need to have Skype working on my phone as I need to have a foreign number.
Thank you all
the other day I was trying to connect to wifi after trying to use the 'share internet' tethering option...and it just kept loading over and over (the wifi sign) and it would not connect....
I flashed it back to stock and then flashed it to the latest energy rom now it seems fine..but I have not tried the tethering option yet, maybe that has something to do with it... not sure..
I figured out the WiFi problem. It turns out that I turned turned the encryption of my router from tkip to aes by accident and the HD2 doesn't work on aes. But I am still having trouble connecting to Skype... Anyone got amy luck? Or perhaps can somebody who managed to get Skype working help me out a bit?
Here's my WiFi issue...
My HD2 shows that it is connected but there is no data flow. I have a Linksys WRT610n router which is PW secure. I also have a HTC S743 that connects with no issues. I'm having a WTF red alert here... any help would draw 2 quarts of blood from me for payment, which you could sell for crack money. Anyone?

Hi guys I am having an anoying problem with my phone.
I connect my Wifi to and ad-hoc connections which works fine for all devices.
The connect is stable and almost 100% quality
The problem is that the phone doesn't have any data transfer, I can get online for but for only a few seconds like update Weather and open a page, then is like offline the Wifi stays connected.
I tried using both settings connects to internet and to work, I got the same problem.
Can please someone help, it must be a problem in the settings, I am new in WM phones
Have you checked if you need to put in a security code? Is signal strength ok? And sometimes you have to wait quite a while for the webpage to be downloaded.

I have WEP code inserted, the signal is very strong 90 to 100% I am really close to the source.
The pages open pretty fast but after some seconds it doesnt open anything neither Skype or Weather works but the connection stays on.
I even try static IP and still got the same issue, I wounder whats is the problem, Saturday I will connect it directly to router instead of an ad-hoc to see what the results may be.
I really need help with this... It is so anoying.
I do not understand, yesterday it worked all day, and today is not working only for a few seconds and the only thing I touch was trying to connect to a network in different place.
Does anyone have any idea? Any info could be useful
I think I just found problem. DNS It seems that the phone the last dns added. What I did now was to delete the dns numbers so the server may add it again. It is working again.

I'm sure your problem needs some helping, but you're posting in the wrong device forum for that. This is the Iolite section.
By the way, the original problem is solved already, so this is considered answered.
