Everytime I turn Wi-Fi on on my Blue Angel, the network profile for connecting to the Internet is changed back to My ISP.
I have to go back to Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Network, and choose my custom profile for the Internet connection. Once I turn off Wi-Fi and back on, it goes back to My ISP (Same happens when you turn off the PDA while keeping Wi-Fi on).
Anyone experiencing the same issue and/or has a solution?
This may be totally irrelevant to your problem, but you could try running the 'welcome.exe' app. This has been known to 'reset' connections back to a firm working condition (see previous posts - search for welcome.exe).
Just a thought
Thanks. I'll try that when I'm home although it seems a lil irrelevant because my profiles are working, but they're being incorrectly chosen.
Could that be because I have more than 1 profile that connects me to the Internet?

I have been using my XDA2s for 6 months now and the worst thing I have found is switching between different network connections.
When i am on the road I use GPRS, in our offices WiFi, and at home USB, but i have not yet found an easy way to swap from one to another. After I go into Wireless Manager (which i have set to the ie button), i select the method, but still need to go into Network Settings -> Advanced -> Select Networks, and change the connection that the Internet uses.
Am I missing something here, or is this what everyone goes through. I should add that i mainly use the network for ActivSync'ing to our Exchange 2003 Server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Doesn't sound normal; if wifi is on all the time the manager should intelligently select between wifi if it's available or GPRS if it isn't. USB I don't think is managed intelligently, but I might be wrong there; I don't use it.
Do you have it automatically connecting to unprotected wifi networks? Is the wifi at work encrypted or no? What happens when you walk into the hotspot, does the wireless manager change from GRPS to wifi? Stupid question: Do you keep wifi on all the time?

Hi
No, dont have it accessing any network in range. This is what i do, let me know if its wrong:
On the road when i want to ActivSync, i go into Wireless Manager, and press the GPRS button, then go into Network Management -> Advanced, drop down the "Internet should connect using" and select the Vodafone-GPRS Settings option. Then open up ActiveSync and Sync. I have noticed, if later on the if i just go into ActiveSync and Sync it connects to the internet without having to go into the Wireless Manager. But if i have in the meantime connected to a Wifi network then it doesnt.
When I go into our offices, i go into Wireless Manager, and press the WLAN button, then go into Network Management -> Advanced, drop down the "Internet should connect using" and select the "My Work Network. Then open up ActiveSync and Sync
In My Work Network, i have nothing setup/ticked except for "This Network Connects to the Internet".
In Vodafone-GPRS Settings I have a GPRS modem (Vodafone) setup, and the "This Network Connects to the Internet" ticked.
Paul
The wireless manager should be switching between wifi and GPRS automatically. I don't use Activesync (I'm on a Mac), so I don't know anything about the syncing.
Try keeping the wifi connection on all the time. When you want to use GPRS, just leave the wifi on (which will have no connection if you aren't jumping between hotspots). Don't go into the manager. The wireless manager should realise there is no active wifi connection and then drop down to using GPRS instead.
Try that, tell me how it goes.

G'day
I preformed a full backup, then cold reset the unit. After that I just let it auto-configure to Vodafone, an presto it works. Docked, WiFi, and GPRS without having to go into the advance setttings every time. Although I will turn of WiFi after 5mins not being used - cant afford by battery to die (normally use it as a phone for over 3hrs a day).
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
Paul
I connect to Wi-fi Line with Internet, but when i Sign In the messenger dont connect to wi-fi net and turn-on the gprs or 3G
try go to:
settings -> connections -> connections -> advanced -> select networks -> change the "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" to "My Work Networks"
If you want to use GPRS, revert the setting back.
Thanks... Work good

Hmmzz... this doesn't work for me.
When I'm connected to Wi-Fi and I do the setting you describe, I get the error message as shown in the attachment when I want to sign in with Windows Live Messenger. Suggestions?
Something else: when still connected to Wi-Fi and I just leave the connection settings the way they where, and I sign in with Messenger, the Messenger wants to connect by GPRS/3G (the known thing).
But when I then quickly press "Cancel" (or press cancel a few times when one time isn't enough) in the GPRS/3G connection popup, the connection build up will stop and Messenger WILL actually sign me in, seemingly using Wi-Fi.
Do you think I can assume it's really using Wi-Fi and not the cellular connection, since there's NO GPRS/3G connection icon in the top bar at that moment?
If there is no GPRS/3G connection on top bar, it's using a Wifi.
Your prob similiar to my girlfriend's Hp 6828, Just make sure you setting for connection to your hotspot is setted to connect to internet, not to connect to work. and try to set the setting first then connect your wifi. My GF's 6828 prob solve by it.
Strange isn't it?
Then let me know...

I noticed when im out of range of my home wifi, or turn it of then on, the TP2 forgets my wep encryprtion password and i must input it each time.
Anyone notice this?
anyway to make sure it always connects to the wifi i specify and keeps my encryption code so i dont have to keep inputing it?
EDIT - Problem appears to be connecting temporarily vs creating an access point account under settings:
My wifi issue has been solved.
"It seems that i was just doing a wifi search and connecting to my router.
Instead, you need to go into settings, then wifi settings, and CREATE an access point by inputing all your SSID data, wep key etc etc...
once it has this it stores it and whenever your in the area it auto connects as it should.
it seems that this was a user error on my part and not the TP2 error.
prior to this i was just searching for my router and connecting... the tp2 never actually saved it and each time i was out of range or turned phone off., i would have to search again.
inputing the info via wifi settings and NOT searching and connecting solved this problem"
i'm not getting this problem mate... i've got a few keys to different wireless networks and it all works seemlesley.
hmmm...
if im the only one, maybe ill delete all the info try again..
yup, got the problem here, it usually happens to me with new phones before i start installing other stuff, don't know which program though to install to really make it stick. Right now most of my settings are not sticking, they revert back to stock after a soft reset or after a few hours unattended. annoying as hell.
yep, me also. It's happened when I haven't used WiFi for a while -I think
what happens when you put in the key in the wireless tab.
hardpress wifi in the comm manager and choose wireless
then you get the "old" menu where all settings for a network have to be filled.
had the problem of forgetting first but when inserted through this way its gone.
vinciente
i don't have that problem on mine.
BTW, i use WAP not WEP. it may make different ???
My old Touch HD did the same thing, the pro2 on the same network though seems fine...

How did you create a new access point and enter SSID, wep etc. as I can only add a new wireless network in the configure wireless networks settings screen?

Start menu, settings, connections tab, wifi icon, "wireless networks" button, then "add new" should be listed on top of all the networks seen.
click "add new" then follow prompts to enter network name, encryption type, etc etc...
I didn't find any solution in the search results. Maybe you can help:
When I enable Wifi, and waiting for connection nothing happens. When I go into Preferences -> Wifi -> Wifi-Settings, he starts to connect to my wlan.
Have a Fritz Box Wlan 3170 with WPA encryption and no mac-filter. My SSID is visible.
Do you have any idea?
Hello
I have been using wifi internet on my phone for some time. And it has been running fine.
I had a Sattelite connection instead of a landline Dsl. But recently I switched to Dsl and the phone doesn't connect to the internet anymore. It does connect only for a few minutes sometimes in a day whenever it wishes to otherwise there is no connection. The wifi icon at the notification bar shows complete signals, the wifi finder easily finds the network but there is no connectivity. When I go to my university I can connect easily. So probably the problem is with the landline connection. Is there anyway to manually connect to this connection?
If it finds the network, but can't connect, you're not likely to have any luck by setting it up manually. But if you want to try; open "Settings", click "Wireless & Networks", click "Wi-Fi settings", turn on Wi-Fi, click "Add Wi-Fi network", enter the network's name where it says "Network SSID", choose the security type, enter the password. If you don't know what to fill in, ask someone around you who would.
