Hi,
did you set your APN? Type "(Name of your Operator) APN" in Google and you will find it.
Then put this things in Settings, Mobile Network, Add APN.

The issue is with WiFi. Not Mobile Operators internet connection.
I am experiencing the issue as well...HD2 doesn't pickup any APs while my HTC Surround shows all of them....
Any clue, anyone?

It seems to be a little finicky about wifi sometimes.
My biggest bugbear is that it wont connect to hidden wireless networks (not broadcasting SSID's), which a lot of companies use as extra security.
Can you see them with an android build?

Sorry my fail.
For me the Wifi works perfectly so I don't know how I can help you.
good luck.

I run into the same problem with no wifi after flashing wp7, then i changed the SD Card with another one, and voila it works.

uhm... you should:
1. Check your IP if your modem does not support DHCP, note that WM7 does not allow you set static IP
2. Never change your SD card if you don't want to hard reset WM7, because with WM7, your SD card is a component that can not change or remove.

I am also getting this error.
I can't find any Wifi connections

It is beacause of your SD CARD! put it out and restart then you will see that it will work. Or does you SD Card work for you? under info on settings do you have nearly the amount of space you should have with your SD Card or ls than 150 mb?

Thanks a million.
That did the Trick

I had exactly the same problem.
I could see the wirless network but when connecting WP7 would say "cannot connect to this network".
I have a wireless MAC filter enabled on my router.
The HD2 with WM6.5.5 was already added to this access list.
It turns out with WP7, the MAC address for the phone is now different.
I checked my router log, added this new MAC address & WiFi is now working fine.
Another things to try for those that are struggling.

I hate this too as I hide my network. Some things at least if they can't be set up while your network is hidden, at least you can broadcast it, set it up, and the hide it again and it will still work. but with winpnone 7, that does not even work, you have to leave it broadcasting or it will not re-connect. Even my dumb Nokia 6086 will connect to a hidden network for UMA calling. Maybe Nokia will fix this issue with winphone 7.

Cant connect to wi-fi...
Tried with adata 4gb class 6 card and without the card and no luck.
The card is space is recognized by WP7.
Transcend 8GB class 4 also no luck.
It can detect a bad password but cant connect to wi-fi if correct password.
Any ideas?
Also tried to reflash with and without card.
I have the last radio .50
HSPL4 2.08
MGLRD 1.13
Edit: it did connected to open network

File transfer issues

WHen i attempt to transfer files to my Wizard it freezes. The file size is 300mb to my 1GB SD card. It is a movie and whenever I try to copy it from my PC to the phone via USB it freezes.
I have only been able to transfer small .cab files and .mp3s....
What can I do to fix this besides buying a separate reader?
Do you have a SD card slot on your PC? Or a Card reader device? Try to take out the MINI SD, plug it in to its SD card adapter (if you have it) and copy it directly on to the card. Then place back the MINI SD card in the device.
It is quite difficult to say if it is your USB connection or active sync, your PC or something else ...
In case you do not have a card reader:
Maybe you have WLAN? Try to copy it via wifi then ...
Yep,
lots of choices, lots of possibilities - and lots of things which can go wrong!
how would i go about copying it via wifi?
Quite hard to explain if I do not know what hardware you have (such as wireless home network, router, accesspoint) and if you have experiences in setting up wireless connections (infrastructure if router / ap exists - ad-hook if not).
In case you do not have any experiences it would be too difficult to explain anyway. You might want to check your USB? What ActiveSync version are you using? What Windows version ...
You see: there are a lot of components and information needed in order to help you one way or another! Never forget: people who are trying to help on here know only as much about your problem as you post ...

Heh i have wifi all setup I have verizon fios. I can connect via my phone to the network thought maybe i had to do a certain procedure. What i did though was upload it to my ftp then connect from my phone and transfer it like that. While it was time consuming ti worked at least.
Activesync version 4.5, windows xp. I'm probably just going to give in and go buy a sd card reader tomorrow.

Help please, no hair left!! SD WIFI CARD

Hi I am having a problem, did a search but still could not find an answer to fix it.
Okay received a SD WIFI Card today for my XDA 11. Loaded drivers and using the utility it connects to a signal - good, first hurdle negotiated.
When I come to try and connect Internet explorer or Opera all I get is "cannot load page".
I believe I have to do something with the settings-connections-menu but that's when I get flummoxed as I don't know what to click or do.My ISP or my work something?
I would be eternally grateful if someone could point this idiot in the right direction - and here was me thinking the hard bit would be getting the SD WIFI card to work.
my work is the right one

Is that it?
I was expecting a couple of sentences of do this, do that. If that is all i'll give it a try Rudegar.Thanks
On both connections choose My Work Connection.
You might have to enter DNS servers for the wifi card as well. Use the same you use in your computer.
Doesn't seem to work - keeps saying this page cannot be loaded.
It's as if IE doesn't know it's supposed to use the WIFI connection? Told you I was an idiot when it comes to things like this.
i would use the installable ms network tools
to try and ping things and such
otherwise wifi on ppc is alot like on pc
if you dont feel comfortable with it
then maybe you could get somebody
who is to help you irl ?
Thanks, I think the problem is that the signal is too weak.
sdio wifi card on xda II - solution
ive read a couple of times people having issues with thier sd wifi cards one of the fixes had been to have a part of your hand NEAR the wifi card (the built in antanna just cant pull a strong signal all the time). make sure that both your sd wifi card and your wifi router is using the same network key and has the DHCP server enabled. last and maybe not least - if you xda is using windows mobile 2003se or less you will see "page not found" message often becuse the browser had tried to load a page requiring a java or active x- control and cant load. This is equivelent to the 404 Page not Found. Upgrade if you need to.

Wifi connects... sometimes only???

Hi all.
My qtek is not ok...
I used to have WM2003 2nd Edition. Very hard to set up my Wi-Fi connection... After some time, and all the possible configurations, I managed to access the internet using it...
On the next day or so... nothing...
Well, good reason to upgrade to WM6. Just finished, upgrade ok, I think.
Wi-Fi not much... Once again, my SSID cannout be found - just my neiboughors´s... Add it manually, after some tries with the "work" and "Internet" options, it worked...
I made a soft reset, and now cannot connect anymore... SSID appears as unavailable, and is impossible to connect to it... My laptop is working fine with the same router, same ssid, same everything
Tried to delete the connection and create new one several times, nops...
Is it normal that the network cards work sometimes, and then without any changes, stops working?
Thanks for your help
Definetely no. Try to adjust the router to broadcast in 802.11b only but I think that will not help, something is wrong with the network card I think...But you should try
BTW turning on the wifi on WM6/WM 6.1 is kind of strange, you have to enter in the comm manager, then settigns->wifi->turn on wifi, and finally to turn it on the comm manager. How did you turned it on?
yes mate, I also believe the problem is with the network card.
Is there any way I can test it?
Is there a way I can substitute it?
Or my best shot is buy one SD network card (that will use the only SD available...)
Have you tried to connect to other networks aside from yours? The reason I am asking is because you can see your neighbor's network, so it is weird that it would see yours randomly. Try with different networks before spending the money in a SD wifi card. Good luck.
Understood... kind of
hi guys
I tried the Simeonfilipov suggestion of adjusting the router to broadcast in 802.11b only and Wifi connects in no time...
Now I have slow wireless connection, but all devices can use it
Does anybody around have a D-Link DSL G624T router working fine with a Blue Angel integrated network card??
Can you publish or email me the specs to let me check mine?
Thank you all guys.
So the problem is not in the network card You have to have an option in the router menu to broadcast mixed signal - B an G, to use G on your laptop for example for faster connection, and B for the Blue Angel ? Good luck!

[Help Needed] WIFI Issue

Everything is working with my Wp7 install on HD2 but i dont know but no matter what i do i am not been able to connect wifi
Is there a way i can fix wifi connection issue ?
well you cant connect to hidden networks, but if you cant see any networks where before you could then its most likely an SD card issue.
Its well documented that wifi, laging, random restarts or no memory is to do with an incompatible SD card

Change your security settings EG: Wpa2, Wpa or Wep. But switch your mobile off first, then change the settings, then swich it on and see if all OK.
If it does'nt work, then format you sd card and start again, but leave your wifi off, until ready. Now switch on your wifi, the phone should now see it.
it is an incompatible SD card
Since nobody mentioned this one yet...
You'll also have trouble connecting if you're using MAC-based filtering to only allow specific devices on your network. (WP7 MAC address is different from your HD2's regular one, and it also changes on every boot)
OP: you'll get better help if you provide some more details! At what point are you having trouble:
You don't see any wifi networks at all
You don't see your network listed
You see your network, but can't connect to it
If it's the first, most likely WP7 is not happy with your choice of MicroSD card, and you'll have to try a different one.
I have the same problem. I can find networks but I cant connect to mine everytime i tried to. It sometimes connects sometimes doesn't. I'm using a passphrase not mac filter.

WiFi issue

I'm having the issue where anytime I restart my phone, it can't activate WiFi. When I go to the configure WiFi settings, it lists my MAC address as 02:00:00:00:00:00 and the IP Address is unavailable.
I can fix it by removing my SIM card, reboot the phone with the SIM out, rebooting the phone, connecting to WiFi and then reinsert my SIM. It used to do this every once in a while, now it's doing it every time.
Anyone know how to fix it or what the issue is? It also exists over different roms and versions of Android.
You might try to get a new sim card from your carrier and see if that helps. If you can connect to WiFi with the sim card removed it sounds like it might be an issue with your sim card.

Hello...
Judging by other threads found in the help forum, it rather sounds like a hardware issue:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/forum/4746?query=Mac 02:00:00:00:00:00
Also different devices, different possibilities: software/hardware: https://www.google.fr/search?q=nexu...9i57.9963j0j4&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
No real causes or solutions available at the moment.
Good luck...
I'd recommend a factory reset
