Hi,
I've been a palm user for ages but now but i was trully missing wifi capabilities on my past units... Since my enfora wifi sled for treo died on me I made research for a new smartphone that would do wifi and I ended up picking htc hermes.
Everything works fine so far BUT WIFI(the sole reason i went for that unit).
First test : I have an old netgear wep and 802.11b only router at home used as a switch. Tried to get it to work with it with wep no go, without encryption no luck. Says connecting, then all of a sudden, the network becomes unavailable for few seconds and then pops back as avail... tries to connect again, unavail and this goes on forever...
Second test : there is a unencrypt wireless network detected, said to myself I would *try* it. Magic, it gets an ip and everything. I can connect to the AP with IE. I didnt tried to axs internet or do further, it was connected !
Third test: @work, Ive read on forums ppl had working wifi with WPA+tkip. At work I have a couple of linksys WAP54GX, so i did setup a WPA + TKIP wireless network. It worked the first day. I was pretty happy, finally wifi DID work. Could SSH to boxes browse internet everything was fine.
The day after, I decide to install opera mobile. It worked like a charm for an hour... then all of a sudden everything was slow as hell -> soft reset. To my suprise, the config that was working few mins ago wasnt working anymore... Now even the WPA+TKIP setup that was working few hours ago stopped working. Same deal, connecting... , then wireless network goes unavail, goes back avail and fails to connect.
Anyone experienced similar issues ? I doubt its HW related since it did work for a day... and i still can connect to the unsecure wifi from neighboors (that always worked). Is there any application or tools or simply logs I could dig in to figure out out what is going on ? I mean if it wont connect id like an error msg not the whole ap go unavail for 1 min then pops back like nothing.
Is there anything avail for troubleshooting wifi connections in windows mobile or we only have the M$ way of having no information whatsoever ?

I hard reset my phone because it became cluttered with crap... and now its been running great off the stock rom with all my favorite programs and such, but I cannot get a stable wifi connection? My home connection was working fine before the reset, and I never used any network management software besides what was stock on the phone...
I do use WEP protection with a simple 10 digit password to access the network, but it works fine wirelessly on my pc, laptop and my psp
Any ideas? If i can get a connection (sitting next to the Wireless Router) it lasts for maybe 10 seconds before disconnecting and can't be found for 10 or so more minutes
Sorry, no answer for you, but on the topic of WiFi woes...
Is there a way to get a network to stay on the list permanently. I connect to about 5 different networks throughout the day and by the end of the day, my home network is no longer on the list and I have to manually add it again. Kind of annoying since I have to do it every day.
Hi, my 8525 suddenly can't use WIFI. It do show the icon on top of screen indicating that I am connected to a hot spot. But when I open IE, I can't open any web page. I can do it hours ago, and that time I visit gmail.com, download its application to MIDlet and then use WIFI to check my mail box. Also I visit Ebuddy.com and download and setup its application.Both of them run okay. But when I turn on the phone tonight. WIFI doesn't work well. IE just keeps locating... and gives no response for a long time and finally tells me "The Page cannot be displayed or download because the connection was lost." I want to know what happens and what I can do to solve this problem.
In addition: Now I unlock both SIM and Supper CID using this webpage's guide:
http://www.windowsmobilecool.com/2008/08/how-to-unlock-your-htc-tytn-aka-hermes/
But I don't know how to check whether I already have unlocked Super CID? I try a T-Mobile SIM and it works well. So at least it is SIM Unlocked now.
often it's enough just to pull the plug from the wifi router for 10sec
happens with all wifi routers think it's their dhcp which get confused but mobile device
because I dont get the same problem with laptops and desktops connecting with wifi
another thing which could fix it would be the update the router with the latests firmware
as they fix bugs with newer wifi devices once in awhile and then release new firmware for their routers
Thanks Rudegar, I solved this problem last night. The problem is caused by an application I use on my phone. China Mobile Fetion. Since China is a country forbid the WIFI function on phones officially sold there, some software application from Chinese companies and programmers set GPRS as their default connection method, and I mistakenly choose let this software setting the connection function automatically and it just adjust all program's default connection as CM GPRS. After delete all GPRS settings on phone, the WIFI works well.

Hi, I've some problem with wifi connections. I own a lynksis wag54g2 wifi router. I can establish a connection, but after some times (it's not standard, it may vary), my device disconnect from the router and it's not able to reconnect. All that i can do is plug off my router (i take off the ac adapter) and when it's up again my phone can connect. it's very frustating, but i don't know what to do? i've tried setting something in wifi preferences' on my phone but nothing change. i've also flashed my firmware to the new one, hoping that it could fix that problem, but it didn't. someone could help me?
you can update the firmware to a newer one. this would fix your problem.

Hello.
I have a problem with WIFI on Galaxy 5 (i5500)(Europa) too. They have already changed my phone with new one, but the issue remains. So, for the second time now, I was able to connect my phone to my router for the first time, but after the first interruption or disconnection of WIFI I could not access to wifi anymore.
When I enable wifi in the phone starts ''connecting'' but then reports ''interrupted'' eventhough the signal is recognised as strong.
Firmwire version is the latest available. Router is encrypted with WPA2. Also I can access to router with my HTC Tattoo (Click).
Does anyone know the solution?
I have a decision to make(today), becouse If there is no solution to this I will change to another phone as I still can (Galaxy Spica).
Advise please.
Thanks a lot
What router do you have? have you tried with any other wifi network? i said that because my have this problem only with my router, and not for example with my girlfriend's one.
I found a little fix for my router, linksys wag54g2: open up the config page (192.168.1.1), go for wireless tab, select protection page and click on save settings. that reload the router and my phone is able to connect again.
Hi.
Thanks for your advice. There is some problem with router.. When I restart router the wifi on the phone works until swiched off or interruption becouse being out of range. When I try to connect to wifi again does not work unless I restart router again. ..catchy.. Interfering with mobile connection also makes the drop of wireless connection on my computer, so I need to restart router. I don't know the permanent solution. If anyone has any idea how repair this forever please let me know.
Best,
Thanks
Hi,
Here is my problem with my wifi with the galaxy 550.
For security reasons, my wifi network can't be detected (invisible). If i want to connect a new device by wifi, I must first set my wifi visible and then register my device.
Then I set my wifi as invisible again and the device can connect automaticaly to my network without "seeing" my wifi network.
Problem is that once i set my wifi as invisible again, my galaxy fail to connect because the network is unvisible.
Is there anyway to fix this ?
I have just read similar post on another thread and replied find it here
I ahvent installed anything, perhaps its to do with the handset if its locked to a particular carrier? just a guess and a question...
cheers

try to use static ip!!

I have an answer! Hope it works for you.
My provider gave me really easy solution for wifi connection not connecting even though it was my own network with all the right info. It worked great the first time, then for some reason the phone locked in the "off" position. So I removed the battery to reboot (later learned the right way by pushing the volume button on the left and the power button at the same time)
Anyway, try this....
turn phone off - remove battery - remove sim card - wait a few minutes - reassemble - then the network should log on with no problem.....Good luck!

Hey guys first time poster here hope you can help me out
So since the last 2 months or so i've been having an annoying issue with the t-mo variant on5 (sm-g550t), the mobile hotspot or tethering drops it's connection to every device it has connected to it, devices stay connected to the phone but they have no internet what so ever, laptop says "connected, no internet", XB1 disconnects on it's side and says that the network isn't set up but it's still connected or so the phone says, it's always at random, I can stay connected for around an hour sometimes or 5 mins at most sometimes and I have to restart it when that happens so that the devices can have an internet connection again, pda frequently drops to and won't really last long, I switched sims with my friends phone an LG v something and it worked flawlessly so the phone is the one with the problem, I'm a college student so I really need a working hotspot for multiple stuff.
On5 is rooted and has czars rom, no xposed or magisk used.
Thx in advance to whoever helps me with my issue
