Well I wound up having to go to Dunkin Donuts in order to get a wifi that would work with this thing. I got passed the wifi screen and into the main screens so at least now I can turn it on and such without the wifi.
This is my first android tablet (in fact first tablet) and I'm not sure I like it. I have no idea how to do squat on this thing as there are no basic directions. I can figure stuff out, but without the wifi, I'm cut off from a lot of the stuff. I tried to download the book on the gplay site for the nexus, but it seems I can only read it with a connection to wifi.
I have several pdf files I would like to transfer over (books actually I'd like to read) so do I just hook this up to the computer and copy the files over? Do they go to a folder? Or just hang out on the drive? I'm not even sure which app I would use to read them. Until I can get the wifi fixed, I can not download anything else unless I go to burger king or something. (sigh).
And if anyone can help with the wifi issue, I would be great full. If not, I guess I will return this thing, but I don't want to get a replacement to have the same thing happen again. I see I"m not the only one with the issue. I just don't know what to do.
Thank you everyone

They just seem to sit there in the queue and not download. I can sometimes kick them into gear by starting up other programs that use network, or switching from the rogers network and back to wifi. I haven't been able to find a solution I can replicate each time and sometimes things just never download, which sucks because I really do want these programs. Someone mentioned this is a known issue but is there a workaround for this? I wish I was able to just download the .apk on the computer and manually install after I move it to the sd card. Please help....it's frustrating!

It's just the connection hanging for that download. There isn't much that can be done other than switching connections/enabling/disabling the radios.

The above link give an explanation of wifi problems that at least some people are having... three have mentioned identical or similar problems in the Google Help forum. The issue is that wifi worked initially, but now it isn't working on my phone. In my case I'm unable to get any results when I do a scan of available networks, and I've tried to manually assign an IP and connect that way without any success either. In other cases listed in the above link, people are able to still see networks after performing a scan but never connect to those networks. All this is after being able to connect at least once before.
Anyone have a similar issue with wifi? Also, does anyone have any idea on what to do about this issue?
i am having the same problem with my wifi. any chance rooting had to do with this problem?
I have a different kind of wifi problem. It seems to work fine everywhere except work, where we use Cisco wifi access points.
It is only is a problem with Android devices, mytouch 3g, g1, and now the nexus one.
My Touch Pro 2 connects fine.
Looks like the android devices get connected, and even get an IP, but can't browse the web or ping any network devices.
Really strange.

This is my suspicion. I think in the rooting (or the custom rom?) thread someone said rooting screwed the wi-fi, and he had to do it again and then it's fixed
I haven't rooted my phone yet, and I still have this problem. I have installed a ton of apps though... although I don't know how that could be the problem. Is there an easy way to wipe the phone and revert back to how it was when I received it? This is the step I'm willing try before rooting or modifying it in some other potentially warranty-voiding way... I may be needing to return this if I can't get wifi working.
There is a 'Factory reset' in the settings
After trying everything I can think of aside from warranty-breaking things, I called the HTC support and we went through very basic things together then he agreed that they will need to take a look at the phone. They will ship me a packing slip and I'll return it in the same box it came in. The repair station is an hour's flight away (in Houston) so I hope to have my phone back very soon, but I wasn't given an estimate so I can't be when that will happen.

The above link is to a thread on the Google Help forums where I've been keeping track of this issue. Basically the wifi issue is a know issue according to an HTC representative I just talked with, and they will be sending a OTA firmware update out to all NexusOne phones within the next several days that should resolve any issues we are having with this functionality. This saves me from needing to send in my phone for repairs, and if it comes to that they said they will just swap the phones without me being out of a phone at all.
I have a hypothetical question, and while I'm sure someone has surely thought of it before, I can't seem to ask google the right way to find it.
A long time ago, when we were still using those screaming demons called modems, it was believed that the only way to increase your connection speed was to use multiple modems, each with a cat5 port in the computer. It was called stacking, or something like that.
After massively enjoying the process of rooting my Evo, my first ever >free, non-metropcs phone, this got me to thinking. If I have two rooted android phones, can I somehow sync their tether, using a program on the pc to organize which phone downloads which parts of a webpage or file, essentially doubling my connection speed? It seems viable, very possible, leading me to believe that it can be done and is being done and I simply haven't found it yet. This is one of the places where I learned how to root, it's a very knowledgeable community, and I'm sure someone here will have an answer, so thanks in advance.
I've been using various versions of wireless tether since my Moment days. I'm currently using pre11 on my Epic right now, but I see it's up to pre15 right now on http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list. It's working completely fine for me now, and I'm honestly surprised on how quick the connection is. What is the difference between these different versions anyways?
Mostly added support for other phones,,,and I think pre13 introduced the lock button when tethered,but I dont even se a need for it.

I just got the RC released a few days ago.
Without making a new thread about it, I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong...
I have never been able to get a computer to connect to the network created by Wireless Tether. Can anyone help?
Pre14 wouldn't work for me. Pre15 works fine.

Need a little more detail than that. The network created is AdHoc, have you been able to connect these machinces to other ad hocs?
Not specifically, and I'm aware of the Ad-Hoc...
but one is a literally fresh formatted Win7 and the other is a ChromeOS laptop.
I would think either should be fine.
No luck.
Curious, chrome os cr48?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes, and I even know the freshly-formatted Win7 computer has been on an ad-hoc phone-tether network before.
So I'm not sure why, but the same night I asked this question, I also started getting issues. It seemed to be running perfectly fine, but then when I noticed someone else logging onto my connection (I hadn't encrypted it), I grabbed the both and both gave Access Control to my phone only and then encrypted it. Even since then, even when turning off AC and encrpytion, I can only go an hour or so and then the signal drops. I'm not sure if it's even related to me turning on AC/encryption or what since I don't even remember how long I was running it before someone tried hopping onto my signal. At this point, since 11 has worked, I'm not sure if I should just delete and reinstall it in an effort to erase any of the changes and made and see if that makes it work better, or just go ahead and upgrade to 15.
As for using it, once connected to a 4G connection (1 of 3 lines), I'm actually quite surprised how quickly it works. Sure, I'm not going to be streaming from HULU, but even going to picture intensive threads loaded fairly quickly. Our phones are so badass...I make sure to always remind everyone around me
I couldn't get WirelessTether to work with my CR-48 either. It did work with my wife's Evo however. Frustrating.

my phone is unlocked and i use it on cincinnati bell. i understand that these are some sort of certificate files. should i leave these alone or does it matter? ive found 3 instances of these files in /data/misc, /system/etc and /etc. thanks!
Can you be more specific when you say "unlocked"? Do you just mean SIM unlock? Or have you done something else?
If you're still running the stock ROM (which it sounds like you are), then I general do not recommend deleting things because it's not exactly clear whether the phone needs these files in order to work properly. Is there some reason you want to delete these files?

yes i am both sim unlocked and rooted running the stock rom. the reason i am looking to delete these files is to hopefully remedy an issue i have with my data connection. one is (although not really a big deal) the first time i try to access the market after reboot, it kicks my connection. i then have to wait until my connection restores to access the market. im aware of the fact that for you guys on tmo, instead of the link that says "my apps", yours says tmo. after the that initial kick, the market opens up just fine
second, i have shotty data connections when surfing the net, etc. my data connection sends, receives, waits a few seconds, then repeats the process. it takes far too long just to access my google search home page.
im thinking that if i remove these certificate files then the phone wont send requests to tmo, since im on a different network. at this point im just brainstorming because this **** is getting really old. the only way for me to really use my phone is thru wifi, and thats not always available. any thoughts to why my phone might act like this?
