HI!
From I have upgraded to WM6 I can connect by WIFI to my close network at home, but not in open network that I used to do before (airport, Cafeterias, etc), I connect, I get IP address but the internet explorer does not work.
Any idea? Have I forgotten something?
Thanks

I have a similar wifi problem!
I can connect fine at home, but on an open network such as at my university, I can connect briefly, then it will seize to work after loading a page or so.
Then I cannot connect again.
Anyone know how to solve this problem with open networks?
btw, I am using Black 3.0.1
Thanks!
I have looked all over the internet, both on this site and through google, I even shot over to howardforums for a few. I know I saw the solution somewhere, but all my searches are filled with bbc connection probs, not internet connection probs. Heres whats going on... I have the TNT2 rom, I changed the aku version in my registry to .3.7.1 and installed Blackberry Connect 4.0.0.90. Everything there is working fine. The problem is that Internet Explorer will not work. I knew this was a possibility cause I read it on this forum somewhere. I installed Opera Mini browser and then my PC crashed and I lost my bookmark that showed how to make it connect through blackberry connect. Does anyone have the link to the page that shows how to get it to share the existing BBC connection instead of it trying to create its own? Or know how to do it? I went to Start>Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks & changed both dropdowns to My Blackberry, then went to the MidLet manager and set the network on Opera Mini to My Blackberry, and it gives me this error...
Error
Failed to connect to the Internet.

Someone please Help!!!
Thanks.
You can only connect to the special Internet browser that is in the Blackberry folder under programs using BBconnect,, so when you click on to that Icon, you will get the IE explorer.. When your IE explorer comes up,, just go and locate your favorites, and voila.. It is a reconfigured IE explorer (the BBconnect installation does that to your existing Ie explorer). Total Manipulation,, browsing really is the pits using that Internet explorer. So, I advise using Opera (you can actually install on your SD card,), or Opera MIni(I put mine on my main memory). I really do love the Opera Mini (saves ykou lots of money on Data and is really neat, especially the new version).. Set up in connections a normal data connection with your carriers setup, and when you are either going to Opera or Opera MIni you should automatically be turned on to that new data connection GPRS (different than your BBconnect data connection).. Make sure for example, when in Opera Mini,for network settings, you choose the new gprs connection that you just set up, so it will connect properly when you go and connect. Unfortunately, the BBconnect really screws things up for internet connections, and it really is a pain in the butt,,because I have to go to BBsettings sometimes, to suspend the bbconnection, so as I can get either Gprs or Wifi connection, because BBconnection is always trying to connect otherwise. Supposedly, the Internet browser in that BBfolder is supposed to be compressed data, but I haven't seen much compression going on! and bringing up data is slow as molasses.. At least this is all my experience.. If anyone else would like to add to what I said or shed some more light on the subject,, please by my guest. Let me know , if you need any more help
my issue has been now that BBC is installed, I cannot use any other data connection, and no program will use the BBC connection. Also, when you mention that you're using opera, do you mean the full version you'd normally put on a pc? If so, does it have the drag to move feature that mini beta does? Thank you.
I think I figured out part of it. Theres a registry tweak to get IE working again, the problem is that it creates a new connection instead of using the BBC connection. Does anyone know how to get everything (especially opera mini) to run off the blackberry connection? I think it doesn't work right cause of the proxy.
Could someone help me, I am using WM 6.1. How do I get Internet Explorer Mobile or Opera mini to use my Wi-Fi connection instead of the cellular network. I tried to Google it but no luck.
turn off the phone and turn on wifi.

Wi-Fi should be the preffered network over GPRS EDGE.
Someone will have a better answer than me, but what you can do is go to your GPRS setting in settings\connections\GPRS and change the GPRS from being on Internet to Work, not the greatest way but i use it to stop GPRS due to being on a very limited data package.
I put the GPRS connection to work, and i think its using my wifi connection now. Can Opera mini use the wifi connection or is it only GPRS, when i try to go to a site it might cost me airtime.

Mini can use wi-fi, the way you will tell not using GPRS is that above the signal bar u will not have a little g, not to be confused with the big G in the middle of top to which just says GPRS is available.
Hi,
I just bought one and its great.
i have some issues with the WIFI connection.
I would like it to ONLY use WIFI at home and not some 3g or GPRS cause it takes money and a already have a wifi connection, why not use it ?
1. Can someone tell me how or what program to use to set up in the phone to use ONLY WIFI connection ?
2. Is it possible to connect to WIFI whenever like say the weather app wants to update and then close the wifi for itself to save some battery ?'
Or do i have to keep the WIFI on, all day ?
Thanks for your help
Look for NoData from Modaco.
You can disable the providers internet access.
Wifi will still be available.
The programs will use any connection possible, so if Wifi is the only connection, they'll use that connection.
Wifi is also the preferred connection when both are accessable.
To close the wifi you'll have to do this manually I'm afraid.
in wifi settings you can change power save mode to minimize power consumption.
G-Profile can help you. Depending on the location or hour of day it can switch between 3g and wifi. It has a ton of options.
Check it out.
