Hi!
Before I start tese are my current system info:
XDA2ii (O2) - UK
ROM version 1.10.00 WWE
ROM date:24/12/2004
Radio ver: 1.00.00
Protocol version: 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.10.124 WWE
OS: Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition
Version 4.21.1088 (build 14235.2.0.0)
I am trying to connect to my home WIFI network but I can't seem to connect. It is indeed picking up the server (name appears) in list but just stops at connection to network. It can't seem to get any connection at all. My wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) can't seem to detect it as well.
I have tried connection to WIFI at an airport and it seems to work but not at home. I have set my Linksys to Mixed mode (B and G) but still can't get it to work.
Any advice?
Thank you!!!
XDA IIi (or 2i) and 3COM WAP
Hi.
Got the exact same (everything) XDA IIi model (also O2/UK). I'm also having problems with WLAN/WIFI connectivity both at work and home. Both cases it's a 3COM OfficeConnect WAP (office one not setup by me). I thought I validated that the XDA seems to be OK by being able to connect to a neighbours WAP (some BT-Voyager thing) with no apparent problems. And so was thinking that the problem is with the 3COM WAP. However, your post raises doubts on my conclusion ...
The search goes on ...
Re: XDA IIi (or 2i) and 3COM WAP
hi
My case is even worse, it can not detect any wifi signal at any of the hotspot in my city. Go to wireless Lan Manager, under WLAN button (red status) there is alwayls a sentence: "no connection in use". Clicking to it, the device seem to search but found nothing.
Try softreset, hardreset but the problem remains.
In addition, I try to turn off the phone (turn on flight mode) then it don't allow to turn on bluetooth and wifi too.
Maybe it is due to hardware error.
Really disappoint with O2 UK

WiFi connection problems with XDA2i
I have exactly the same O2 xda2i build as Johnnyboy, and precisely the same problem with WiFi as Blackwolf and Johnnyboy. I have a netgear WiFi access point at home, and have disabled the attach restriction and removed WEP. However, although the XDA can see the network name, it cannot connect to the network (just displays connecting...) nor does it show anything on the signal bar. Needless to say, it does not display SSID, Tx rate, Channel, IP address or any information from the network.
I have bought this device specifically for wifi access, and it is somewhat disappointing. Anyone have any idea how this can be fixed? (if at all :? )
XDA Wi-Fi Successful Connection!!!
Hi,
I'm new to the forum and new to XDA2i....
I too had many frustrations connecting the wi-fi...but now I've cracked it, here's how.......
On first very first use (or following a hard re-set) device users are prompted to choose “What do you want WLAN to connect to?” The option bullets are ‘Internet’ or ‘Work’….’Work’ should be selected, this will connect them to the nearest WLAN (if this network is WEP encrypted it should be switched to ‘Open’ rather than ‘shared’ as is often the case).
Next prompt asks for any WEP Encryption ‘Pass Key’ to be input, when doing so omit any ‘-‘ between character pairs. Normal start-up should then be completed. Once device is up and running…..
From ‘Start’ pull-down on the ‘Today Screen’ select…. ‘settings’>’connections tab’>’connections icon’>’advanced tab’>’Select Networks’> pull-down ‘My Work Network’ > ‘OK’ out of selections to save and exit.
Go to ‘Wireless Manager’ in programs, select WLAN icon from main screen (which should turn green to show active), then select mini ‘WLAN’ icon from lower toolbar to see the status of the connection, quality of signal etc.
That did it for me......
Cheers
Finally cracked it! As I never had any problems with my Netgear MR814 wireless router, I assumed the issue was with the XDA2i. Instead, a router firmware upgrade did the trick! Should have thought of that earlier.
Cheers, S.
When i first got my XDA 2i home from the shop the first thing it tried was the wireless lan, and the same thing happend to me also..... everything fine in the router but still unable to connect the xda.
anyway after few hours of going over every single setting time and time again , it finally worked !!
i left the Wlan enabled and after a period of a few minutes it connected to my network.
So i think the XDA 2i is quite tempremental with Wlan, as i know my settings were correct.
having said that, i have had no problems with Wlan t all since then, it will now even connect to other Wlan hotspots with no problems whatsoever.
The only problem i have now is recieving a decent O2 Cellphone signal i my area
Well I have a XDA IIi and it connects fine and allways has to Citi Hotspots, TMO hotspots and my own Linksys WRT54GS. Netgear is the biggest piece of crap ever sold. If you have one I suggest you soak it in gas and burn it.
I had a problem with my XDA IIi connecting to a home Wi-Fi network with a Linksys WRT54GC router: a signal showed in the Wireless LAN Manager, including an IP address, but the WI-Fi icon at the top of the Today screen had no connection bars. After days of this I went to the Linksys settings for an unrelated reason and disabled Wireless SSID Broadcast. Inexplicably this appeared to cure the WiFi problem with the XDA IIi, and I can now connect with ease.
Ok, I might as well add my question to this thread, as it's relevant.
I have an O2 UK XDA2i, and I've also experienced similar problems connecting the wifi and managing to get it to work properly.
I'm at Uni in Birmingham, and at some of my faculties there's wifi for students and staff to use - they give the broadcast SSID UCEOpenAccess, and you use your system logon (in my case STUDENTS\F05310011 and my password (secret ).
I have these details set in the LEAP tab of my wireless lan config (in the WLAN settings) - I have an entry named UCEOpenAccess, and I have my username and password (and domain) set correctly, and the auth type set to Open System (as opposed to EAP, doesn't seem to make any difference whatever I set it to)...
... I just can't connect to any wifi network! I can't even _SEE_ the wifi network, and I know it's there, I can pick up other wifi networks and detect them using Wifi Graph and Hitchiker. I just, bizarrely, can't see the one wifi network I'm trying to connect to.
It's incredibly frustrating. I have my network adapter set to connect to Work (as I've seen advised on these forums), and my IP is assigned via DHCP (they use a weird class b subnet for their network), and the proxy to connect to the Internet is also setup correctly in my Network (This network connects to the Internet checked, This network uses a proxy to connect to the Internet, and proxy is specified in the box), and as the proxy is a SOCKS 5 authenticating proxy, all the relevant details and username+password are in place in the Advanced settings.
Still doesn't work!
Is it due to my original (and decrepit, from the looks of things) firmware and software versions? I'm running original radio, is that a problem maybe? I've scouted about quickly for updates from O2 for my XDA, but I don't want to install a Japanese update as I don't reallllly want to have to read Japanese (and I can't, etc) - I don't want to make a brick out of this brand new phone, but the resources for total xda newbs is somewhat lacking. Can someone just poke me in the right direction with a stick?
Cheers all.
I'm unable to connect my Universal to my work wireless network. I set the network up in the first place, and have managed to connect other WM5 devices, so I know it's not specifically a WM5 problem. I've tried a couple of T-Mobile ROMs and a Qtek ROM.
The network uses EAP-TLS to authenticate certificates. When I try to connect, the Network Cards applet shows the connection as Connecting, but the Wireless LAN applet shows the connection as Connected. However, it doesn't receive an IP address and eventually gives itself a 169.254 address. The IIS server shows the connection as authenticated.
I reported this to T-Mobile months ago, but have given up on ever getting a reply. Does anyone have any similar experiences?
when i connect my wizard (wm6) to the wifi network it gives me a "dns not specified" error. when i specify an ip and a dns adress, it says: "cannot load page. check that you are properly connected to network. type: tcp cpnnect". i tried a few routers, who connect fine with laptops and other mobile devices (i also have an old mitac device with wlan sdio card that works fine). when i connect it through gprs or activesync, it work perfectly. any ideas? perhaps a way to preform winsock or netsh command on ppc?
thanks alot for all the help in advance
Hello!
Does anyone know, what might be the cause of this problem:
i-mate JasJar does not connect using WiFi Ad-Hoc mode with WPA-None and TKIP encryption to a PC (with WiFi network card ASUS WL-138g V2).
It does connect fine when I select "No encryption" or WEP, both with Open and Shared auths.
However, when i choose WPA-None and TKIP, connection:
1) either cannot be established (network shown as "Available", I click "Connect", it flashes "Connecting" for a second and then just "Available" again)
2) after JasJar reboot, connection seems to establish ok, but no data can pass through it - i.e. ping does not work, web pages do not open, and soon (after several minutes) it will disconnect and won't connect again until next reboot. (returns to behavior #1)
I am sure I set the same settings (including network key) both on PC and on JasJar.
Does anyone use such configuration (Ad-Hoc WPA), and if so, what are hardware and settings?
Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem ... WM5 ultimate edition
Since I flashed the official new o2 Rom (1.57.207.1 (47324) GER) I've had the following Problem.
1. My Dial-up Connection works fine.
2. I configure my HD to use my home WLAN network. As it does not use DHCP I configured a static IP for my Wifi-connection. It connects fine and all applications use WLAN and work as they should.
3. Now I disconnect WLAN through connection center or another methode.
4. If I try to use my Dial-up connection now, it seems to connect fine to the network, but I cannot access any webpage through a browser or check my emails through outlook or anything. Opera just presents me an Error page.
5. If I disconnect my dial-up connection, delete the static IP settings from my WLAN-Adapter, set it to use DHCP for Wifi and reconnect dial-up everything works fine again.
I checked my dial-up settings, everything is set to automatic ip from server, but it still seems to be influenced by the Wifi settings.
If anyone has any solution to this problem, your help would be greatly appreciated, as it is pretty annoying to have to set the ip-settings everytime i want to use Wifi.
I tried a hard reset today, that didn't help either.
My phone has the following configuration:
ROM:1.57.207.1 (47324) GER
Radio: 1.12.25.16d3
Protokoll: 52.60.25.33h
Thank you very much.
