so, I got the tilt yesterday but didnt have time to play with it. so, I got it up and running today, all seems well so far.
now the question I have is about the wifi, it detected my wifi and asked for the pw.
so, is my wifi the default connection to the net?
when I use IE, does it use my wifi connection or I am going to get charged for the online usage?
The default connection is GRPS/3G. If you want to surf or fetch emails via wifi, start that first and wait until the connection is established. Then your're safe.
Hi. Have a recent problem that developed on my HD2. It happened after installing the mod that activates a task switcher when holding the send button. Could have happened sooner but I think I would've noticed...
Problem is: I have my HD2 connected to WiFi at home and it works perfect for web browsing and all, but, the moment I use other apps such as updating weather or browsing google maps or the Windows marketplace they use the 3G regardless of my WiFi being active and working.
I am on 1.48 stock ROM.
I have uninstalled the mod BTW and I use duttys task manager.
Please please help me someone...
doubt it has anything to do with that mod... i dont have any mods on and 50% of the time even tho i am in WiFi covered area with WiFi on it will start using 3G instead of checking for WiFi. Its extremely annoying and i cant understand that HTC didnt atleast give you a small manager wich would give you different options how to connect to internet once you are trying to connect...
Its not that I am in a WiFi zone. my WiFi is connected and I am browsing the web. It's.not that it is just choosing a connection, it completely ignores my WiFi on everything but the browser. And it only started happening today. Marketplace worked on WiFi yesterday.
Nevermind. I found the problem. Earlier today I set no WiFi network to be treated as a work network instead of a internet network. this lead to most apps thinking I am not connected to the internet.

Hi. My problem is more or less as described by NESO1234 above. WiFi at home is is connected, but browsing Internet is done through 3G (I guess - loading a page takes loong and the arrows indicating WiFi connection are not moving).
You mention network not set correct. Could you or someone give me a more spesific hunch (path...) on how to make WiFi beeing used?

Go to the WiFi connection place (where the Wifi switch is and it shows ur acess point underneath) go to Advanced > Change Network then select ur AP and make sure 'Connects to:' is set to 'The Internet'.
Hope it helps, it worked for me
Hey all,
Done some searching but cant find a clear and striaght forward answer.
Bascially, on my old HTC Dream (Android) wifi would always be searching for a wifi to connect to (and if it found a network, it would tell me). if it was a network it had acess to, then it would automatically connect.
Otherwise, it would just use my contract internet.
So I was wondering, on the HD2, you always have to manually turn wifi on. Then say I leave the house, manually turn it off for it to connect to the contract internet.
Pretty small thing - but it gets annoying after a while.
Is there a way (reg edit or app) to make wifi do the same as the android did?
Thanks!
Bump.
I am interested in this too. I am trying to assemble a Mortscript to do it.
would be so helpfull.
I have my home network, Uni network and girlfriends that I can connect to. Now having to manually connect each time, and then disconnect from wifi when I leave is pretty annoying

This must be a rom issue. What ROM are you using?
My HD2 Wifi will connect automatically to networks I have connected it to before, it will notifiy me of available wifi, it will use cell data when wifi is not connected. Works to me the same as how you described your HTC Dream.
Just the stock one that comes with the phone.
to make my point slightly clearer...
I am at home with my Wifi turned on and connected.
I leave my house and go outside of the wifi range.
My phone still has the wifi icon at the top, but it wont be connected.
Therefore I have to turn wifi off to let it connect to my contract internet.
Maybe Wefi will solve that problem?
On Symbian worked very well.

I shall look into this, cant belive others dont get annoyed at it tbh
I'd like a solution to this too. I have found it annoying since settings my HD2. I haven't had any success with the solutions suggested in the forum to date.
actually guys.. there is another thing.. how about a cab that would force HD2 to open WIFI automtically to update weather/facebook..etc... whenever the any apps needs updating, then shutting the WIFI automatically off instead of trying to connect to 3g. you guys think its possible?
Mine always lets me know when I can connect to wifi.
Guys theirs does too. You dont get what they want.
When wifi is turned on it will search and connect only to wifi. It will not connect to wireless network of provider. So they want a program that would turn wifi off (which would let HD2 to connect to EDGE and 3G) if there was no place to connect to. And it would turn wifi connection back on (dissable 3G and EDGE) when there would be a wifi network to connect into. You get it now? It would neeed quite sophisticated program to switch betwen those two modes.
I dont use Providers network (3G, EDGE) but would like program that would check for avaible WIFI networks that I have access to and Connect to them to get updates (it would check for example every 10min) and connect to it only to get updates and SYNCH. then disconect and wait cca 4hours to start looking for wifis in 10min intervals. Would be nice =)

Then it must depend on the ROM version, but for me it works exactly how he wants, and always has. I never turn Wifi off. If I'm at home within my wifi range and load a webpage, it loads it through wifi. If I walk away, wifi connection gets lost, and I press a link, it will load it with the data connection straight away. If I walk back home or to another place where a known wifi is present, wifi reconnects by itself.
I am having trouble connecting to my wifi at school. My school is on a secure network that you need a password to get into. My friends can get onto it fine with their phones, and my brother can get on it with his ipod touch with no problems at all, but my NS cannot get on. Does anyone know what the problem might be? When using a ipod to log on, I go into networks and select the secure school network and a windows pops up asking for the password--i enter it--and im in. With the NS i select the network and its just sitting there trying to connect but no window pops up asking for anything and it wont ever establish connection it will just disconnect after trying to connect for 5 minutes. I have selected the network and held it to bring up the "modify network" option and tried to enter a password on there and change up the EAP method and stuff (have no idea what that is) but nothing works. I have a home network that I can log onto fine and when I click on it it asks for the network password. Any solutions or advice??
Also I have found so far tat the ipod/iphone has a longer wifi range than the NS which is disappointing.
try logging through your phone browser using ur wifi user id and password first . i have the same issue with my uni network. every day i have to log in through the browser and then it automatically connects to wifi.

How exactly do I do this?
There are 2 networks at my school. THe student network and teacher network. If i select the teacher network my browser pops up with a webpage asking for a used id and password. When I sselect the student it just keeps trying to log on and nothing happens. (This is the same for ipod except when I select student network a little transparent window pops up asking for a password)
I tried opening the browser but it just pops up and says cannot log onto this webpage
Try connecting via the app "WiFinder" I find that sometimes connects more successfully than android stock feature.
Let us know how u get on

As the title states i am having issues everytime i leave my wifi connection. I use my tab at home via wifi all the time but when i go out i am having connectivity issues over 3G. I am runing Straight Talk which runs on ATT network. When i experience the problem my 3G connection shows active and full bars but if i want to use either a browser, youtube,Tunein Radio, Google Play or any app that requires an internet connection i get an connect error message. I have tried disabeling inabeling the mobile data but still a no go. What i need to end up doing is i need to restart my tab to restore full 3G connectivity. On the flipside if i come home my tab connects to wifi with no problems. So anyone know why this could be happening?
