Windows Live won't connect through wifi

Loaded the official Dopod WM6 rom onto my SPV M700. Gone through all the settings but can't get Windows Live & Messenger to connect through wifi even though wifi is activated. It will always connect through 3G. I tried deleting the 3G wap settings & activated wifi but then it won't connect at all instead saying it an't find an active internet connection.
Anyone got theirs working over wifi & can lend a bit of help. Thanks

It must be some settings issue cause my P3600 is working fine connecting to Live messenger through WiFi!

I have same problem. can't figure out the reason..

Had the same issue.
The cause in my case was that I did not follow the instructions of my provider. I forgot to configure the vodafone proxyserver.
Internet worked, mail worked but Windows Live would not connect.
After I configured my proxyserver everything worked great.

but how to configure it, please give some details, thx.

Would these proxy settings affect the VPN options too?
Everytime I try and connect to work even though WiFi is on the VPN connection always trys to use the gprs or 3g connection. Really really annoying..

I am still using WM5 and 2 different versions of WM5 have given me similar problems which I have not been able to solve yet. I have to use a proxy and even though I configure the proxy correctly, I can not access the internet. I have done the same configurations on the HTC TyTN and a Imate Jamin and they have no problems. I have delayed upgrading to WM6 due to all the problems others are having.

OK I did a hard reset no programs loaded & just configured the wifi. Tried connecting to Windows Live, Messenger & Hotmail through wifi worked fine.
Then I entered operator settings exactly as I had it before upgrading to WM6. With wifi still active I again tried connecting to the above but it still insists on connecting over 3G.
I went in Connections Settings & removed the MY ISP settings (which were O2 3G setting) & tried again. Even with wifi still active it would still look for the 3G settings & as I had deleted them it would not connect at all.
Really need to sort this out as I don't have an unlimited data plan (crappy O2 tariffs) but I can't get it to WL to connect over wifi.

How? I simply followed the instruction given by my provider.

My D810 even tries to connect to my 3G/GPRS on soft reset so I suspect it may have something to do with my Contacts with all these Windows Live Messenger contacts - it doesn't connect after I remove the Windows Live account from the phone.
The only way I can find to stop it from connecting to my 3G connection and connect through Wi-Fi is to force it to use anything but a connection to my mobile service provider:

Well after much messing about I reverted back to as default as I could using Mozzer's rom for Orange UK. Tried the vpn settings straight away and it worked perfectly, I can only assume that maybe in Mun's rom there are some settings missing that Orange UK doesn't like missing as that is the only difference on the phone now.

I've given up. Tried everything but Windows Live & Messenger still won't connect over wifi it will only connect over 3G. I'll just have to resist using Messenger & checking my Hotmail messages.
Other than this problem the Dopod SEA WM6 rom is brilliant. Nice & fast & very stable. TomTom is fast & smooth works flawlessly. Had no lock ups or crashes.

Try turning off the phone, leaving only the wifi on, sign in and turn phone back on again, works for me.

WIFI with LIVE
My unit is doing the same thing. What i did is connecting to WIFI first. Right after, i click on Windows Live, my unit will try to connect to GPRS. What i do is cancelling the connection and my unit will start using WIFI connection. The only way to stop it using GPRS and using WIFI right now is cancell the connection before it connects.

Anybody got Bluetooth Activesync working on TP2?

Bluetooth Activesync only works, for me, when I create a Bluetooth serial connection from the PC to the Phone first!
I thought that it might be the firewall on my PC so I disabled the Firewall - still the same problem.
Also, full Bluetooth visibility on the PC is enabled.
Is anyone else out there experiencing the same problems?
Has anyone got BT Activesync to work?
PC Details as follows:
PC: Lenovo Thinkpad T61p
OS: Windows XP Service Pack 3, fully patched.
BT: Broadcom Hardware. Lenovo's Bluetooth Configuration Utility. Active Sync 4.5.
Thanks in advance for any help / information.

in ActiveSync Options is Syncing via Bluetooth (or matching COM) Port activated?

Hi CHfish,
Thanks for the reply. I wasn't aware that there were options for Syncing (on XP) but I think that it's using COM port matching to connect on the PC.
The Connection Settings on the PC ActiveSync are as follows:
Show status icon in taskbar:----------------- "Checked/On"
Allow USB connections:----------------------- "Checked/On"
Allow connections to one of the following:--- "COM5"
This computer is connected to:--------------- "Automatic" (The options are: Automatic, Work Network, The Internet).
Open ActiveSync when my device connects:----- "Checked/On"
Allow wireless connection on device...------- "Checked/On"
Effectively COM5 above is setup as a Bluetooth serial port associated with ActiveSync. So it should be expecting connections in on COM5 from the Phone.
As I mentioned this PC set-up still works when using my Kaiser (TyTn 2).
Hopefully this answers your question.
Have you been able to get XP/Activesync/Bluetooth working on a TP2?
Thanks,
haongusa

I got it working on my Mac using "The Missing Sync" (ActiveSync application for Mac OS X). Actually works over bluetooth and works much better than the Windows pendant.

My settings, for your reference:

[Q] Networking Phone is AP & XBMC remote. [How to keep correct IP in host profile]

[Q] Networking Phone is AP & XBMC remote. [How to keep correct IP in host profile]
The setup i'm working with on this problem
HTPC = Win7 32bit Box running XBMC Dharma 10.1
Network = Wifi card in PC getting internet from Mobile AP (Phone)
Phone ( Epic running EC05 ROM, Kernel Genocide 2.0 ) is the AP and using it as a remote
What i would like to accomplish is to be-able to turn on Mobile AP, PC connects to Mobile AP, Start XBMC on PC then xbmc remote app and pick the corresponding xbmc profile for that PC. ( watch movie )
The problem is that the PC does not always pick the same IP (its set to DHCP) there for xbmc remote app cant find it and i have to go in to the settings and change the IP for that xbmc host's profile then its all working fine.
Now in windows if i try and make the IP of the WLAN Static i get a warring about

That has to do with the fact that if you run ipconfig/all with mobile AP the Default Gateway & the Primary DNS are the same IP. ( Correct me if i'am wrong about that error coming from that)
I ignored the error any way and tested it and the PC no longer has internet even though the IPs DNS and gateway are all the same as if DHCP was on
A Work around that i have tried is to Set the " Host or IP Address: " in xbmc remote app to the Host of the windows pc instead of an IP. But then i get an error from the app " Host is unresolved: borus:8080" (Yes borus is the name of the pc )
If i could get this setup working seamlessly it would be a grate setup for laptops

No one has any ideas?
Has any one got a static IP to work with mobile AP?
Sent from my ComBadge

I would still like to know if any one has any ideas
Or any other work around to make this work

I have not used MobileAP before. Can you specify the size of the DHCP pool on it? IE: change it from 10, 15, etc addresses to only one?
That way DHCP would always give out the same ip...

O my bad it's not Mobile AP any more that was on Eclair 2.1 But its the same thing just a new name its part of the phones stock Hot Spot/AP Hacked Hot Spot
Good idea. But there is not a DHCP setting in the stock app & we all know Wireless tether does not play nice with our Epics.
Does any one use the XBMC remote app on there phone/s?
In the setup of xbmc hosts it says "Host or IP address" i have tried entering the netbios name of the host pc & that's a NO GO. What why does it say "host" what is host if its not netbios name?

Wireless tether works fine on mine (3.0-pre12). But, I'll guess that netbios won't work since it's probably trying to query the default route out (which in the case you show above would be Sprint's side) so it's likely disabled from their side.
Anyways, going back to your OP, that message you're getting does not have anything to do with the default gateway and primary dns server as the same ip. Rather, Win7 is saying you have multiple default gateways that are conflicting (ie you had both wired and wireless connections enabled).
I'd give Wifi Tether 3.0-pre12 a chance. I've had pretty good luck with it *if I keep 4G disabled when I turn it on*. You can enable 4G after wifi tether starts, just not before.

Ya there is a router pluged in the NIC but there is no internet on that router.
Pre12 gave me hell b4 (when it came out)
I witch that xbmc remote would look at the Mac or somthing like that.
The only other idea I had but have not tried yet. Is to have two routers. I would need one to auto connect with the phones AP. That router would go into the WAN port on router #2. Router #2 would go to HTPC. I would just need router #1 to act like a WLAN
Card
^^^^
That setup would not do any good with a laptop.

That.
And what is your actual setup? You have wireless and wired? A wireless router and your phone?
You should be able to set a static IP no problem really. ip/subnet/gateway/dns.
As long as you pick the correct settings for that....you "should" be ok.

Configure all NICs as static and only put a default gateway on the NIC leading to the network that has internet access. You can only have one default gateway per box, unless you have multiple connections to the same VLAN.
If in the event you have mutiple subnets living behind your wired network, then add routes to those specific subnets wih the route add command.

wouldn't it be easier to just setup a wireless LAN at home and connect your phone and computer to that?
anyways, if the tethering app on the phone lets you assign IP address, you can reserve one for your computer. otherwise, just set it to accept only 1 client so whenever a device connects to your phone, it'll always have that IP.

Yes a wireless lan would be ez. But that's not what iam trying to do.

tether galaxy s2 to ps3?

Possible? My phones rooted. Full 4g signal. Thanks

Does ps3 have built in wifi? I'm not sure, if it does then try the mobile hotspot built into Android, if your carrier doesn't allow that then try barnicle tether or open garden tether, both on market. They use ad-hoc wifi so idk if ps3 will like that. If so (or if ps3 doesn't have built in wifi) , connect a computer to the hotspot and internet connection share over Ethernet to the ps3.
Finally, if your carrier blocks tethering, you'll need to connect your phone to a vpn before all of that, which will hide all your traffic from the carrier.
Hope that helps

Not sure exactly what you are asking but you may want to try/ look into:
Settings-->Wireless and network-->Wi-Fi Direct Settings (if your PS3 is connected to your home internet network I think, I may be wrong here?? check this youtube) =
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCEawDprnOQ
or
AllShare App that comes stock with GS2....works with PS3 to connect via DLNA (DLNA is wireless like bluetooth or wifi)
Sorry if you were looking to just connect your PS3 to the internet thru your phone... then use barnacle tether or whatever

Let's not complicate it...yes, connect like you would anything else

Eh nevermind. I tried about 10 different tethering apps. None work because ps3 doesn't use ad-hoc. I guess....thanks anyways.

It will work.
1. Setup a new APN you can use the epc.tmobile.com APN but rename it to Free Tether or something.
2. Be sure that its selected as your default.
3. Start the WiFi Hotspot that came with the phone. Set it up if you need to...ie SSID and Password.
4. Check to see if the PS3 recognizes the device.
Setting up the new APN stop the T-Mobile upsell page from coming on.
It should be something like this.

When my roommates failed to fork up their part of the internet bill I played battlefield 3 off my tether for a full month with minimal issues the connection was never a problem connect ps3 to your phone like any other wifi router provided you are using the built in wireless tethering functionality which can be enabeled if you are rooted by simply freezing or uninstalling the system "tethering manager" app.

[Q] S4 tethering to a Draytek router

Anyone know how I can attach a Galaxy S4 mini to a Draytek 2820n router?
I'll give a bit of background that might explain why I'm trying to do what I'm doing.
I'm a heavy internet user. I live somewhere that I cannot get a decent ADSL connection (download speed is about 256Kb/s) never mind fibre. However, do have a good 3G (HSDPA) connection with three.co.uk. Have a Draytek 2820n router so I can use a 3G dongle via the router's USB so in essence the whole house has a fairly rapid internet connection. Only problem is that three's mobile broadband plans limit you to 15GB cap per month.
I've got a Galaxy S4 on monthly contract which gives unlimited (All You Can Eat) data and allows tethering.
I've been able to successfully connect wifi devices to the S4 via wifi tethering and use the internet but it's a pain having to switch wifi connections if I want to control an XBMC server on my LAN, for instance. What would be ideal is to have the router distribute the S4's internet around. I can't just put the SIM in a mobile dongle as three have a way of blocking that (something to do with IMEI recognition) and I don't want to risk trying it.
Anyone got any ideas how I might be able to go about this. The Draytek router has various settings you can put into the 3G setup - I've attached a screenshot. I've tried various things but nothing works and I'm not sure how to access the router's debugging output. I set the S4 with USB debugging on in the developer settings. Wondering if there is something I can do that is fairly straightforward on the S4 so that I can try some generic dial string settings on the router to see if that works. I'd read something about putting the S4 into USB Kies mode but I don't seem to have that option.
My other thought was I might be able to leave the S4 in wifi tethering mode and somehow bridge this with my router but that would probably screw up my LAN DHCP assignments as I'd have to switch the router DHCP off and then I would be limited to 10 connections.
Sorry it's a bit long and complex. Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks
