When anything is connected to my Wfifi it's fine but as soon as I connect my phone to the wifi even at other places like my parent home the net on any device just doesnt work at all, web pages only load if I turn the wifii off on my phone. Even on my phone pages and messages wont load untill i disconnect and reconnect.

My problems with my WiFi on the Wing (Very FRUSTRATED )!
1. When the screen turns off, the Wifi turns off. Meaning I cant use this as my email machine like a blackberry. I have to turn the screen on to get the wifi back on.
2. The Wifi it keeps "forgetting" the WEP key even though I programmed it. It happens once a week (approx)
3. The wifi keep suggesting that I can connect to all these weird SSID's around me when I have my own router set up in the phone. Just connect to mine and stop asking. At work, At Home, At my friends house, At the cafe down the street. If you dont find these, dont ask. if you do, just connect, stop asking. Stop not connecting.
4. The wifi keeps asking if I want to hook up to LOCKED SSID's. Hey, they are locked, if I knew the wep key I would try to connect manually. Stop asking! Is there a patch that allows the phone to suggest connecting to the OPEN wireless networks after it actually makes sure there is actual internet access in there?
5. How do I tell the phone: NEVER TRIES TO CONNECT TO THE EDGE OR GPRS for data. I DONT HAVE THE SERVICE. The wifi keeps turning off and the phone TRIES to get on T-Mobile GPRS or Edge all the time. I even deleted T-Mobile from my internet connections (I dont have internet access on my t-mobile account as it was extremely slow and I have Wifi everywhere I go, except when I am driving)
After months of use, I still have not been able to use my Wifi. In fact the Wifi does not connect to my router anymore, not even once. I gave up and I am paying for the $5.99 service now.
Sounds like you need to take a look around these forums... All your issues have been posted over the net and how to fix or actually "customize" them are everywhere. You may want to read the manual too since that tells you alot of stuff also.
Reading is Essential!!
The easiest thing to do is start over: reset your router (you might check out your setting on your router as well to make sure your encryption is the same and you haven't been hyjacked.
The messages of secure sites is normal: keep dismissing and it will get it. The ones you normally setup on will automatically log on.
As far as the losing the encryption, thats new: the only way I know to lose it is to reset it, or the phone crashes!!
My suggestion is to READ the manual on WIFI settings. read, try read & try.
it only took me 2 weeks to set everything up, and I never had these many issues.
Have fun. Peace

Anyone know what the hell is going on when internet kicks you off without telling you, and its not tmobile shutting me off. When you try to reconnect, it's either waiting for network, or it gives a bubble message trying to connect but wont. When you disconnect by tapping the "E" while it is connecting, it won't disconnect (I'm thinking its either trying to download something, even though no internet pages are open, or anything to my awareness is downloading)
ANY IDEAS????
Thanks!
Not sure, did you clear your temp internet files?
is it possible to maintain wireless connection when screen turns off. It is so enoying every time screen turns off I must reconnect wifi...and all app. useing it, like opera and msn, cuz they start connecting GPRS if I don't....
anyone ? come on you can solve anything....
I have been searching for this for around 8 months with no luck. I have tried registry editiing, different apps that claim to keep WIFI alive and none of them work for my device. Very sad I have come to the conclusion that it is not possible except for listening to internet radio. For whatever reason, the constant data transmission while listening to internet radio, keeps the connection active. I want to keep the data connection active while listening to my own music collection over my network. Unfortunately, wifi shuts off before first song is done playing, and will not play next song as wifi has been disconnected when phone screen shut off and device went into standby. You can keep this from happening by pluging your device in.
unfortunately you cant
Browsing the internet on my 4 day old Leo is a pain. It will not stay connected to the internet on a good reliable WiFi connection.
When it idles it seems to stay well connected to WiFi, but I can't open a browser and load more than 3 web pages before it loses connection, often unable to connect again for a few minutes. I have tried Skyfire, Opera and Internet Explorer, same problem on all of them.
Funnily enough if I go crazy on Google Maps loading as many maps as quickly as possible, it can keep up. But as soon as I start a browser it dies.
I wish the Leo was more like the iPhone, which just does what it's supposed to do straight out of the box
Have you installed any programs to disconnect data? Have you flashed a different rom at all?
If it is straight out of the box, and you are sure it isn't your router, then I would consider getting it replaced.
check with another router if problem occurred send it on rma
I have no idea what caused it, but just tonight my phone stopped being able to connect to my home wifi. The wifi symbol in the status bar shows that it is connected, and the phone sees my router but when i try to activate skype it asks me if i would like to use a cellular connection as apparently my wifi does not exist.
Any ideas ?
reboot your modem and router, turn off wifi on the phone until it is back up, then reenable the phones wifi, see if that helps.
No dice. I reset both, the symbol shows me as being connected on the phone but when i load up Opera and try to go to a web page it says 'Connection closed' and Skype also isn't working.
Okay so that's strange. For some reason my HD2 set itself to a Static IP. I went into the Broadcom settings and changed to server assigned IP and it's working again.
Technology is a pain sometimes !

For some weird reason my does a similar thing about every 3-4 days. Nothing changes, it just decides to not connect however resetting the Netgear does the trick (not ideal but does the job).
Other dissapointing thing is often it cant pick up or has poor signal around the house in certain rooms but my wifes bloody Iphone picks up signal everywhere lol (i still convince her, the iphone is inferior)
