Hi,
My mini s seems to have a problem connecting to my home network. When i switch the wi fi on it searches but does not connect. I hard reset a coyuplke of day ago and switch on the wifi and it found my network then promted to enter key, which i did. The phone then connected no problem. No when i switch wifi on it doesnt connect. I go into network cards tab and look what networks are available and my network is there with available next to it but the options have all change (key be given out auto etc...) so i change them to the correct ones etc.. but still it doesnt connect? What i'm i doing wrong? I has worked in the past but not now. I have not installed and 3rd party software and my router is working fine (laptop downstairs works no problem off network).
any ideas
cheers
hi,
i just reseted my router and renamed my homenetwork and assigned a newwep key. started wifi on mini s and it connected straight away to the my newly named network. switch wifi off then on again and now it wont connect. it see's the network and says its available but wont connect. under the settings the network key has changed. it's defo a problem with the phone cus everything else works fine (laptop, psp). it's just not saving the network info???
and ideas???
cheers
think it could be because i've upgraded to o2 new rom??? Could somebody with the latest UK o2 rom please confirm that ther can connect to the networ?
cheers
This also happens to me with the latest O2 ROM.
What you have to do is to manually connect and perservere by going to Network Cards, tapping the network and then select Connect. It may take a few go's but it will connect eventually.
Report back how you get on.
You may want to set up your router to assign a fixed IP address to the Mini S's MAC address as well.
Sounds like the problem I've been having. I've also got an O2 rom and am having problems connecting to any wifi network, even though it worked fine the first time.
I've tried going to the network cards page and clicking connect, but it hasn't worked so far. talkingbollox - when you say 'eventually', how long are you talking?
I'll also try assigning a fixed ip address later, but my hopes aren't high.

Sometimes 2 attempts, sometimes up to 20.
Persevere!
20! I probably tried about 10 times before I gave up. Surely this is a fault. You shouldn't have to waste so much time just to get a connection! :x
I tried MAC address filtering too but that didn't seem to work.
Do you think this is a O2 ROM problem or a hardware problem? If it's just O2, I think I might try a different ROM. Any suggestions which ROM to use?
My Mini S came already with the latest rom I think, and it works fine with my router (BT Voyager 2110)
Are you guys using the 802.11g reg edit?? Maybe thats why its not working, I actually did the hack before I ever turned on my wifi so I don't know if it worked without it. Try it My wizard connects with my router in G only 8)
Search the forum you will find loads of posts about it, and I think somebody has even made a cab file that does it for you, along with some speed tweeks that make your system faster.
It must have taken me in excess of 40 goes to connect last night.
Yes, I am using the g mode hack. My Voyager 2100 is set to broadcast in both b and g (i.e. mixed) mode.
I had the same problem... what I did was just entering the dns adress of my router.
So the ppc doesn't wait for the dhcp server to asign it .. it works great when surfing at home !!!
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.

how do you think??
a 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 everyone.
First off, I know there are a million and one other threads.. believe me.. I have searched!
Basically my phone won't connect to my network. It was working fine earlier today. I've tried changing all the security settings in my router (turning off encryption for example). I've tried soft resetting and hard resetting the phone.
Nothing seems to be working. It finds the network fine, but it just says 'Connecting' then goes to 'Available' but it won't use the wifi connection.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Have you tried connecting your device using a friends wifi router to see if this connect you
Nope. I forgot to add that I will try connecting to work's WiFi tomorrow!
Anything to try in the mean time?
Try these:
1) disable frame bursting
2) disable big packets and other methods of wifi speeding
3) force 11b
4) use WPA-PSK TKIP only
5) check if you have MAC or other access filtering
than let us know

1) Can't see any settings under my router.
2) Tried disabling gnitro (Belkin router), no difference.
3) No difference
4) Already on that.
5) Turned off.
It's so odd. Works fine with an N95.
I don't think it's anything to do with my router because like I said it worked fine earlier on in the day then suddenly stopped. The router settings hadn't changed.
Edit: I've tried turning the router security off altogether also. I really don't feel it's an issue with my router.
Tested the phone at work. It works fine.. so I don't have a clue why it's not working at home? Surely the router can't be incompatible with the phone.. especially considering it worked at one point.
Very weird! I got fed up with my router so decided to restore the factory defaults and start from scratch.. worked straight away! So I restored the settings back to exactly how they were before (using a backup file I made).. and it worked!
Just posting incase it happens to anyone else anyway.

Maybe uve tried this already but could be the fact that your home internet access point is listed as Work rather than internet, used to have an issue with mine cause of that.
I also have this problem.
Reset did not help.
Listed as internet or work did not help in both cases.
Real weird!!
I've got the same problem, all of a sudden my hd won't connect to my router.
I can connect to open networks (wi-fi hotspots etc) so i know the wifi in the phone is working ok and my partners diamond can connect ok to my router, so the router is obviously ok.
Have reset the router as well and haven't changed any settings on the phone.
Don't understand!!!!
as other users point out within other threads, it seems that Blackstone has a problem connecting to wifi networks when WPA Authentification is enabled
try to disable it. it worked for me and soem other guys
good luck!
I could connect to my router fine using my laptop.. but I still had to reset my router to the factory settings before it worked again on my Touch HD.. then I could enable WPA and everything back again. So try that!
i thought i had a similiar problem, mine wouldnt connect to wifi, kept switching itself off. figured this is normal when its connected to usb. unplug usb and it turns back on!
I own an HTC Touch HD since January and have a similar problem, only it surfaced last week. Before I had only used the WiFi connectivity briefly. The problems started after I installed an AP on my house expressively for the new PDA. The node is fully open and set to B/G/N protocols.
After a couple days of medium (couple hours per day) use the WiFi connection suddenly quit, the device would try to connect (the top bar showing the WiFi connection animation continuously) and after a few moments gave up with a dialog box stating the current network settings were wrong (even thou they worked fine a few hours earlier).
I tried several hot and cold resets, but only solved the problem after flashing a new ROM; even then the same symptoms reappeared after a couple of days of regular use. Again no re-setting would cure the problem, and now not even flashing the ROM again would work. Nonetheless, some hours latter the WiFi would connect perfectly with the same nodes it refused to before, and in very short time.
I have witnessed this cycle twice and have yet not been able to find a trigger for it, but will keep my eyes open for any tell tale signs, and post any findings here.
Hi
I used to have problem using any secure wireless connection. Then I realized that you need a personal certificate to use secure wireless networks. It uses certificate to encrypt connection between access point. I have access to a windows certificate server so I created a personal certificate with private key and import it to my mobile. Now I can login to any secure wireless network.

That solution doesn't seem to work for this problem.
Resetting the router does seem to work.
I don't get why resetting the router works.... other devices can still connect no problems before resetting, so it only seems to be aproblem with the hd.
It also sux when you are using a public router with this problem that you can't reset.
Connecting to Belkin router
Guys, I had the same problem as well. HTC touch HD used to connect to the router fine but after installing an update/upgrade it would pick the signal from the router but would not connect. (I was using WEP authentication at this time)
SOLUTION:
Go to belkin router configuration on the web.
Under security change the Securtiy Mode to WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK)
Change authentication to WPA-PSK
Select Encryption to TKIP and enter your password.
GO to your HTC touch HD's WiFi setting and turn Wifi ON. Select your home network SSID and edit it using the information you used on the router i.e. WPA-PSK ; TKIP, enter your key/password and click next, next and finish.
Worked for me....hope it helps.
WIFI not connecting
That truly is extremly nasty.
I have the same issue - wifi found, correct password (WEP, WPA all settings) but no successful connection.
Took an old HTC 3xxx - runs immediately.
I can not reset the router - there are too many users, they will kill me then.
So I installed an Access point (Sparklan WX 7800A) to play with.
Notebooks (HP, MSI and ASUS) have successful internet access, also the old HTC 3xxx.
But still the HTC HD does not connect.
Tried "WIFI Monster" - shows the wifi, but does not connect.
(But it deletes all wifi entries easily - so you can set them up new)
Tried with NO security/password: same issue.
WEP, WPA (all kinds): no connection
There must be something to be changed in the registry - but I have no idea what & where.
Or is the wifi that useless ?????
Maybe someone can help
Ciao
Mike
I had the same problem. But the problem stopped when i connect my htc HD to my laptop and used activesync to connect to internet. After i disconnected it, open wifi and... works ok!!
Xda-viewers,
yesterday i tried to put on my WiFi, but it didn't work anymore
I have my HD2 for about 1month, very happy with the phone,
and this is the first mayor malfunction
When i press WiFi ON in the comm-manager it shows it's loading,
and then nothing, doesn't go ON,
turned the phone off-on, soft reset.. nothing..
anyone else had this glitch?
hard reset or other solution?
It always worked, untill yesterday
If I were you I would go for a full backup with SPB, and then restore (maybe excluding everything regarding the wifi) after a hard reset
I would try doing hard reset.
However, I had the same problem with my old Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox N560 and they had to exchange mainboard.
Do you have it charging? I can't seem to connect to any Wifi networks when I have the phone plugged in. Once i disconnect it, it works fine.
If you are connecting it using USB, make sure WMDC / ActiveSync is set to allowing your phone wireless connections while connected to your PC!
???
phone is fully charged
not connected to PC or anything
not working, going to try some things
anyone goto suggestions except hard reset?
else i hard reset tommorow,
thankz
You mean you can't turn ON or NOT CONNECTING?
If its not connecting, did you try to delete the connection settings from advanced wireless settings and try reconnecting again?

It's really not turning ON.
I press the Off-On button, I see it loading and then, nothing,
WiFi is still turned OFF.

I've got exactly the same problem - have only noticed it today.
If I go into wireless network config and select my network there and click connect, it takes ages before it says "connected" and then immediately changes to "not connected". I've obviously checked and rechecked my settings. It simply will not connect any more.
i also can't remember installing an update which would cause this probleme..
Connected to PC
When connected to PC, in the comm manager, the WLAN is dissabled, can't even push it, maybe something went wrong with disconnecting and this is the reason why my WiFi is not working - going on?
Anyone?
I'm not at home, so can't do anything with mine at the moment, but out of curiosity, did you use then Wifi N option in BsB Tweaks? That's the only thing Wifi related that I can think of touching recently.
Tried it
Indeed, thought the same,
tried to put Wifi-N off, soft-reset, but no change
Almost at the edge of HARD-reset

I really hope it doesn't need a hard reset. I'm not gonna be happy if I have to do that AGAIN!
I'm gonna keep searching, in the hope of finding a solution.
Out of curiosity, do you ever use the Wifi router app?
WM-Wifirouter
I tried to use the Wlan-Router with Comm manager,
didn't work that well,
installed app I had on my P3600: WM-Wifirouter,
this worked like a charm,

I've solved my problem! Yay!!
I don't know if this will be of any help to you, but give it a try and see how you get on.
Basically, when using the in-built wifi router, it assigned the IP address 192.168.1.1 to the wireless adapter. This is fair enough, for a router, but obviously not for when you want to connect to a wifi network and get assigned an IP address automatically.
I had seen other people suggest that this may be the problem, so I'd already checked my IP settings for the wireless adapter, and they were set to automatic.
However, if you run the wifi router and then go to your IP settings, it says 192.168.1.1. Set it to automatic while the router is running.
This made my phone get a bit upset, and I ended up reseting it, but since then I've been able to connect to my home network again.
So...
1. Run and start the wifi router
2. Go to settings, Connections, Wifi, Wireless networks, Network Adapters (tab)
3. Select the network adapter (Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter)
4. Change to use a server-assigned IP address, instead of a specific one
5. Click OK
6. Reset the phone - don't close the wifi router app first.
7. When it starts up, go to the comm mananger and disable wifi.
You should now be able to start wifi and connect to your home network. (It may do it automatically if you don't do step 7 - I'm not sure).
Give it a try and let us know how you get on
Sensational johncmolyneux!!!
I had this problem too - it was doing my head in, but now seems like an obvious conflict. Thanks for finding the solution.
Now all I need to do is solve my BT Voice Commander problem (reported in many other threads) and the HD2 will have the same functionality as the Hermes it has replaced ;-)
Cheers,
Lordbowl
You still haven't hard reset?! I am doing hard reset every 6days because of mod/theme and other crap testing
Backups with resco/pim/office2007 entreprise on windows 7 beta do the trick to have phone working in 15 minuts.

Hi Community!
I have a short question for you.
How is it possible i can't connect to my wifi network at home from one day to the next? With my Nokia 5800 i can connect without any problems.
And at work i can connect to wifi with my HD2, too. Only at home i cant connect anymore. I tried resetting my router, changing the securtiy settings, channel, ssid. nothing helped. I tried setting up a static ip instead of using dhcp, but no chance. No mac filter or anything else is active. Tried to reinstall the rom several times, but as suspected it didnt work.
Like i said my nokia works at home connecting to wifi. So the error shouldnt be by my router. And since the HD2 to connects at work to wifi it also shouldnt be a problem of my hd2 :F
Always telling me "Optaining IP-Adress", so it wants to connect, password is typed in correctly, but something prevents it connecting. Usually it connects immediatly after searching for an ip adress.
So, from one day to the next wifi isnt working only at home..
Do any of you have a clue what's going wrong here?
another restart of my router solved the problem... dont ask me why.
