My Xperia Arc wont connect to my bt home hub. It shows up in the list of active wifi networks but it does not say secured, although on my galaxy s and omnia hd, both find it no problems secured. When I try to connect to the network it shows as remembered but then you click it again it asks do u want to connect, you press connect and it does nothing. The wifi icon in the task bar still has a question mark on it.
I have tried manually entering the ssid and network password but to no avail, any suggestions?
check wifi settings, mayge your wifi not allowed new devices :>

My XDA2s it set up in the normal way, i have changed one of the WiFi setting so i can do Activesync at home with my laptop over WiFi.
My problem is when i am out i turn on the WiFi then turn on WiFiFoFum and when it finds a unsecure network i hold the stylus on the line displaying the details of the found network and click connect. But it never connects.
if i close WiFiFoFum then wait for the normall PPC program to tel me about a connection. I can connect fine. i have tried this with the standard PPC program set to "connect to unsecure networks automatically" and do not connect automatically. but i have tried to connect using WiFoFoFum but never can.
I know how stupid all this sound but can someone pleae let me know what setting they use and typically how they would connect to a network they found using WiiFoFum
Thanks
John
It doesn't sound stupid. I have the exact same problem. At work theres two networks, on open without wep and another with wep where i dont have the key. The phone keep connecting to the the wrong network all the time. Wififofum is unable to connect to another network for me.
My workaround is to turn off wlan and retry. If that doesnt work I have to restart the phone.
I go ino my comm manager and enable wifi, then it picks up my security enabled linksys router. Which has worked in the past, the only thing thats changed since the last time i actually transfered any data over wifi, was installing my minisd sandisk card, and the .net network.
Whenever i try to hit any website, or check any mail connections setup in my out look i get...
"Cannot Connect
Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap settings"
Any suggestions?
Are other devices able to access the internet using wifi and this router?
Can you access your router with PIE? http://192.168.1.1
What are your settings in Settings>Connections>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks and Settings>Connections>Network Cards>Network Adapters ?
Try deleting your router entry from the list in
Settings>Connections>Network Cards>Wireless
Then establish a new connection with the router and when prompted choose
This network connects to the The Internet.
Hi Guys & Gals,
I have a brand new HTC Touch Diamond 2, on O2 network - this is an untouched device, all i have done is booted it up and sync'd it with my PC,
I have tried to connect the device to to wireless networks now with no luck.
1. My home connection - security enabled WPA-PSK password protected, The phone can see the network, i type in my network key - i also checked the password on my router setup. The little spinning circle comes up and try's to connect with no luck. It will then keep trying for as long as the wireless is on
2. Home connection again with no encription - again the same thing
3. Work connection WEP secured, type in the key, same thing again.
Has anyone encountered these sorts of problems before in the past - if so how do i fix it so i can connect wirelessly.
Cheers Guys

Doubt if this is an issue with the phone more likely to be a setup of the wireless.
What router do you use?
Do you have MAC Filtering enabled?
Do you use your router as a DHCP server?
Are there any error messages displayed on the phone?
When it doesnt connect and you tap the notification area (top bar to the right of START) do you have any messages there?

I too had problems with WIFI. My home work network was visible but it would immediately drop or not be able to connect. A few days later it started working flawlessly and I have no idea what changed.
I am sure you have tried a soft reset but just in case...

I have a NetGear DG(Some Number) v4 ADSL wireless router, which i have set up and works for all of my other devices (ie. Laptops, PS3). With a simple encription key.
I get no messages etc, all it sais is that its 'not connected' and there are no new notificatons
It then persists in trying to connect again and again, when it cant connect for a while, it then comes up with 'new network connections found' in the notificatins area.
I have switched the power mode to best performance with no luck.
I have tried on 2 different networks now. including with all encription off. WEP and WPA-PSK - This is driving me nutz cuz i love the phone, i just want to use it to browse the web without paying out the nose for it.
DHCP server is dynamic from my ISP.
I have contacted HTC now about the issue, but im going to feel so stupid if it turns out to be somthing simple like a setting on the phone somewhere.
But thanks for the reply
Have you checked you arn't using MAC filtering?
Log-in to your router and check under Wireless settings > Wireless Station Access List.
While you are on your wireless setting page check what Encryption your using for WPA-PSK? TKIP? (The wrong encryption chosen will cause you not to be able to connect)
Ok maybe telling you how to suck eggs but on your phone:
Settings > Communication > Wifi
Select Advanced at the bottom right.
Select Change Network
Click Add new...
Type in the name of your network (The SSID also found under wireless settings, Case sensitive)
Select Connects to: The Internet
Leave the other two boxes unticked.
Click next.
Select the correct Authentication - WPA-PSK is different to WPA2-PSK. You will probably be using WPA-PSK.
Select the correct Encryption (Propably TKIP)
And type in your Network Key
Click Next and Finish.
How does this fair and what are the results of checking info on wireless setting page?
Im at work at the moment trying to connect to the WEP connection,
This connection most deffinatly does not have mac filtering on it, just asked the network tech.
Okies.....
Changed the network key to.... Shared key and it works
so i am guessing that it must be somthing to do with my setup at home..
Cheers guys
Cool.
Just match up the Authentication / Encryption / SSID and Network Key from the router to your phone setup and you should be fine.
HTC TD2 Wifi issues
Hi
There's some discussion around the web about this problem of encrypted wifi connectivity: a few things to note
1] the TD2 is _very_ sensitive to the power settings applied to the wifi chipset.
The default power saving settings are only likely to work if all other on-board devices - bluetooth, HSDPA, GPS [and maybe even the screen] are either off or in low power mode: the general recommendation seems to be that one adjusts the wifi device power to be "best performance" if one wants to guarantee connections.
2] several people have reported that both the wifi device [card] and the settings for the particular wifi lan [SSID] to which you are attempting to connect should both be configured for "Work" rather than "The Internet".
3] these secured/encrypted connection failures are not about the WiFi access point or router: I've personally tested with several different makes and models of Router and Access Point [3com, Cisco, Enterasys, Netgear, DLink, Belkin etc] - both on my own and on client networks where I have complete control of security, and have also methodically tested every single combination of TD2 setting for WEP and all variants of WPA. In each case my TD2 has failed to make a valid encrypted connection.
The same device will happily connect to "open" unencrypted access points and routers.
Other models of HTC device, such as the Tytyn II and Touch Pro work fine on the same access points and routers: so we can be pretty sure that this is specifically a TD2 issue.
Conversations with HTC's European Tech Support on this issue have not been helpful to date, but they HAVE pushed the issue further up the line, so there's a chance that we'll see a resolution.
Robert
have I missed a step? I've put in passwords for both home and work but it never auto connects when in range!? it shows the icon that multiple wireless networks are available etc but I have to manually hit my router in the list for it to connect..
I'm sure I've missed something simple... Any tips?
cheers,
wab
No answers, but having same trouble here on my leo!
same problem, seems that HTD2 only saves the last wireless network you connected to
i have tried several HTC wifi apps and it is not working.

copualt,
I am using the router cab that comes in the bowman pack pro 2.
I installed the cab " To Device" not to storage card. Created a quick link from the start menu items. Start the application, put a name for my connection, created my WEP key, click start. My A/B/G card in my notebook picked it up.
is any other user with Tmobile HTC HD2 having HTC wifi issue?
i used this cab from http://bwone.com/downloadsthebowmanpackpro2.zip
One thing I noticed, If your phone is connected to your computer when you start Wifi, it will not work. You need to disconnect the phone from your computer first and then start the Wifi Router...
Also, Wifi Router creates an Ad Hoc network, so if your computer is setup to find/detect/connect to only infrastructure networks, you will not see your Wifi Router until you enable the Ad Hoc networks option on your computer's wireless settings.

i'm sorry, if i'm understanding what you would like is wifi router... to make your device a mifi spot?? so your laptop can hook up to it?? then use the cab below..
if not... correct me and I will help further after that.
Thanks for the wifi cab. It was the only thing missing in to make it the perfect phone.
Now the phone is complete.
