I upgraded my new 8525 to Black Dymond 3.5 earlier today and then proceeded to try to connect to my home network via WiFi. I set up a connection with WPA-PSK/TKIP but it didn't work. I then went off and did other things with the phone. Later this evening I went to play with trying to get WiFi working again, but now I no longer have any security options except Open/Shared & WEP/Disabled. All other security options are no longer available in the drop downs. If I edit the connection I set up earlier with WPA-PSK/TKIP, it's now set to Open/WEP.
I've searched the wiki and the forums using many different search terms and couldn't find anything similar so I apologize if this is a previously covered issue.
Thanks for any pointers.
the Data connection is turning on on a regular basis and I can't find any scheduled tasks set up to access the Internet, but some rogue program is? any ideas any one and/or any way I get find out what is causing this.
I have the same problem.. And I'm a little bit tired!
I wrote on this thread with no answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529622
I have a flat data plane but I don't like that PDA face things on his own initiative!!
me neither, I'm in charge - not my new toy! Lets hope someone helps us out this time round.
I had the same problem. In my case the 2 apps connecting to the net were Google Maps and Funambol.

Well, I don't use funambol.. And anyway: there are no program in task manamager! So: something is going wrong with manila..
I had the same 'problem', but my brother suggested to turn it off and on again. It did work as far as I could see.
I think it may be google maps causing this, but I'm not sure (and don't really care, since this 'solution' worked).
Any number of added apps can be doing this (Worldmate live is a bad one for example) or any apps still running and not shut down.
Obvious things to check first are:
Do you have automatic email check set?
Have you disabled auto-update in weather and stock quotes?
This drives me crazy too, afaik I have turned off everything yet it keeps turning on... A fix would be highly appreciated!
its the activesync...
turn it off, i mean, delete the settings and you'll be fine. activesync triggers automatic data sync, hence turning on the data connection
I use ActiveSync and don't have this problem. If it was ActiveSync, why would it cause the problem for some and not others ?

Well.. I tested all day.. And I can say that I solved the problem!!!
I think that last time I closed gmaps.. I answered in a bad way to the question about updating Glatitude..
So: Gmaps seemed close but it was updating my position on the net!!!
When i opened gmaps i could see my avatar in the map.. So i understand that it was still online..
So.. I think I've solved!
Anyway we need a "netstat" on pocket pc...
Thank you for your advices.
Glad you worked it out.
I put this in the developers forum a while back. Maybe someone smarter than me will work out a solution to this sort of problem:

As with the poster here. You will have an application that you have inadvertently set to autoupdate. The only thorough solution is to go through every program on your phone and check each setting meticulously. Alternatively. Back up your personal data and hard reset. Then reinstall your apps one by one, testing for an hour after each one. Eventually, you will find the offending app and can work on finding the setting in it to stop it connecting to the net.
Hi all,
the thing is there are dozen possibilities: activesync, alle gps-stuff, all auto-updates. So instead off looking up all these settings, you could also use the nodata.cab - works fine (phone need to be unlocked!)
greetz to all
Kjoere
thanks for all the posts, haven't checked for a while. I have checked everything and noting is set to auto update so very strange and annoying. Will try the nodata.cab - if I can find it?

Look at "TaskManager 3.1" that has a Netstat tab

download Modaco Nodata

Thank you! That is very interesting.
It also can be the build-in Facebook app in Contacts in manila. It has feature to automaticly update in 2 hours. At least, I had mine turned on as default.
The only reliable and "ultimate" solution is really Modaco NoData as mentioned above.
On the other hand not taking third party apps in count, basic traffic of HTC device is nothing to be scared of. Updates for weather, stocks and A-GPS are just few bytes in size... Obviously, GMaps, mail autocheck, Messenger etc. are different story, but none of these are started on their own... BTW, ActiveSync has nothing to do with Internet with one exception - Exchange mail sync, if you have any.
What you have to understand, is behaviour of the active data indicator (small G, E or H next to signal strength). If it's there does not mean, that any data are transferred at the moment. It just indicates opened data slot with current brodcasting tower in the cell. It could stay opened for hours after trasfer even just of few bytes. It closes usually only for two reasons - your phone switches to another cell (and has no reason to open data slot again) or the tower is busy and closes inactive slots to gain more capacity.
Except few rare cases in some coutries you're charged only for data transferred, not for time of the connection and therefore it doesn't matter. In Europe from 1st of July (some new EU limit) one Mb shouldn't cost more than 50 cents and with these basic updates you will NEVER reach it in one month...
Obviously, roaming is another story, but in settings of the standard services you can limit updates just for your country.
Hello everyone,
My TP2 tries for no apparent reason connect via 3g. The problem is that I have an time based Data package, leaving a connection running unnoticed is financial suicide.
I have checked and disabled all automatic update protocols, e.g. Quick GPS, Push internet, Email, weather, stocks, windows update, error reporting, disabled all incoming mms.
I don't know what else it could be.
Is there a software that could alert me if any program tries open up 3g connection, similar to a firewall.
I would be grateful for any suggestion.
Peace.
OK, on my T-Mobile TP2, the culprit turned out to be the inbuilt IM client (based on OZ, I think). I only discovered this because it randomly asked me if I wanted to enable Yahoo. If you've configured that, try deleting the accounts you've added, and see if the problem goes away. It worked for me.
Ok i had the same problem. Best thing i found was to go into the connections settings and set the ip and dns to manual and 0.0.0.0 and that killed the connection heh. Going back and turning it on and off is easy this way.
You might need to do these 2 things:
1. Manually disable all data access and enable it as needed, using MoDaCo's NoData
http://www.apptodate.org/nodata.cab
2. Stop MSexchange/ActiveSync from calling home by doing 3 things:

This question gets asked so often, and the answers are burried in other threads, that it should be in the sticky.
Wow just get unlimited Data lol.

I appreciate your advise, I choose the first option, which is only a small yet tolerable inconvenience.
So thank you for your help, all you guys help.
Hello
I hope this isn't a repost.
I was wondering if anyone else is having an issue with the weather application not showing your correct location. Mine was working fine until Wednesday evening and now it just displays United Kingdom (Current Location). It does update the temperature and Google Maps knows where I am using cell location.
Anyone know of a fix or is this a wider issue with the the accuweather site?
Thanks
Paul
Mines been on the blink for a couple of weeks now. Some times it works and other times it just says UK
Same here - however, when I am in Bath (where the office is), Bath is shown, anywhere else on route now just says United Kingdom.
mine is the same went daft a few weeks ago worked for 1 day on wednesday and know is dead again just saying UK and thats it
Yep. Mine gone bat sh*t stupid too.
Even with gps on, it still doesn't get it right.
Ended up doing a work-around by going into the weather app, deleting all the irrelevant locations (paris, madrid etc) and manually added my city. Won't change when I go somewhere else, but rarely leave my city limits and its better than generic uk weather.
Not too fussed about it. Accuweather (who do the weather info for this widget) are not too crash hot on details anyway. Yesterday I was sat in my office, and it was raining so hard, it was hard to hear over the roar of the rain on the roof. My weather was saying "mostly sunny". Lol. Said the same after I refreshed it, and every uk news station saw this down-pour coming since tuesday.
You are better off having a link to the met office (if you in the uk) on your home page. Or just look out the window!

Mine too. Just says "current location" and nothing else. Has done for weeks.
Does anyone know if there is a fix or planned fix for the problem?
As i`m aware there is no fix, it was easy to fix on WiMo, maybe we should spam HTC for this ?
Weather newer worked on my location, but 2 miles away everything is fine
I think they're updating the locations all the time. Mine used to say Bamber Bridge even though I live in Leyland. It played up saying current location as United Kingdom and then started working again and shows my correct location.
I don't think there's any fix for this apart from manually adding your correct location until they get it fixed.

Ok thanks I'll spam them.
I wouldnt be so bothered but this was working last week and I've checked, Sheffield is still a real place....
weather location problem - fix!
I have been looking through other threads and have just found something that seemed to solve this problem.
Turn on the wifi (don't have to connect to any network, literally just have it turned on) and refresh the weather page and the location changes to your current location. Turn the wifi off and it's fine.
It has worked for me so far... I hope this helps someone else. (Phone: HTC Desire HD)

doesn't work for me. Thanks for suggestion though..
That was a solution for phones with winmo and manila 2.1 cooked in. Maybe try newer radio? I only assume that you all are using stock Desire rom... if not maybe check for update from chefs?
I had same issue with stock rom. After movind to Leedroid ones problem disapeared.

From what I can tell from my experience with the Desire weather widget, having accurate location data is largely dependant on connection quality. By this, I mean that if you're connected to wifi, you're going to get a much better read on things. When using GPRS, the weather seems to get a bit more vague - I'm lucky if I get "United Kingdom", since most of the time it will just say "Current location". I can't say what experience you'd get with EDGE or 3G, since I don't live in an area with either.
Your best bet is to ensure you give your phone every available avenue for location data. On a Desire running Froyo, from the Home screen, press:
Menu -> Settings -> Location
Make sure both "Use wireless networks" and "Use GPS satellites" are ticked, then back up out to the Home screen. Go back in to the weather widget (for reference, I mean the clock / weather combo widget here) and refresh it. Give it a little bit, and it should (about 75% of the time) update to your proper location.
Some times when this probably won't work / you may still have trouble:
- When you have your device connected to a computer for the purposes of USB file transfer, tethering or HTC Sync.
- When you are connected to a wireless network using an invalid IP (such as having a static IP set to 192.168.1.x in a 0.x range).
- When you find yourself inside a faraday cage, a mile beneath the surface of the Earth.
This is all likely just common sense stuff that most people are doing already, but hope it helps some of you.

Hello,
I have had the same problem (and still can reproduce it), but after turning on the WiFi it works again.
Google is able to determine you location on basis of the WiFi's in you neighborhood.
What i have understood is that it somehow has to do with information that is not sent via the 2g/3g radio towers anymore.
But i'm not sure about that.
At least it is working much better with WiFi on.
Thanx a lot for info...but wid wifi also it shows wrong place..dis happens only when im at my home..if i go to my frnd's place which is some 21 km away from my place,it shows correct location ....whereas when im home, it shows current location as a place which is approx 35km away from my home..strange!!

Yeah, i know, i also have this problem.
But if you leave the WiFi on (always) and just walk in the neighborhood around, you will see that some of the SSID's that your phone can see, are also known by Google (streetview ) and thus android is able to find your location at that moment.
When you are at home, it still will keep that city as location.
I now have WiFi always on and if i have some trouble (because JuiceDefender refused the WiFi to start), i go to the balcony of our appartment and after some seconds, it knows again in which city i live
Just keep WiFi on and go outside. Inside the house there might be some trouble indeed.
Lately, this sounds like a duplicate post.
Considering, it doesn't matter if the widget gets info from WiFi, or a normal data connection, I think it's rather moot.
For the most part, the widget works ok, Until... you travel out of country, or the proximity.
At this point, it tells you, that you are in a city/country where you really are not in.
Granted, it depends on your provider to correlate this data.
Unfortunately, some apps do not. Case in point;
Left moscow for Kiev, Ukraine. After 4 days, it told me I was in Paris, France. Go figgure. 10 days later, when returned to Moscow, it told me, 2 days later, I was in Moscow.
It tells me, the weather widget has bugs. Sorry, I am a Win Developer. A bug is what it is.
I installed WF & Clock widget, no problems since
Thanx a lot ppl for giving me knowledge..
Peace
