WiFi problems

Hello.
I've got a rather anoying problem
I can't set up my device to automaticly choose to use wifi for programs that accesses the internet.
This causes the phone to enable an gprs connection every time i try to access the internet instead.
I have sucsessfully set ut the phone to connect to my wifi network and the communication works (skype runs)
In troubleshooting on HTC webpage you can find these instructions:
On your handset, 1. Click start > settings > connctions > connections > Advanced >Select Networks: Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: "Internet".
My problem is that the option "internet" dosent exixt in the menu, can i have missed something in the setup?

Are you by nay chance using an O2 orbit? If so this is a 'feature' that O2 have introduced to make themselves richer. Check out the other posts on this subject

So what is the best way to get around it??? Another program to help us disable their "feature" and allow us to access the setting we need???

I've got an orbit and can use the internet, email and anything that needs to access the internet via connecting to my wifi router?
I doesn't access the gprs.

a message comes up at the top of the screen saying connecting : o2 Active
If you have wifi on as well they both appear in the connectivity list.

Hi,
First post here.
I experienced similar problems just like you. What I did was to ring up O2 and asked them to disable GPRS on my line because my XDA Orbit was defaulting to GPRS connection whenever I tried to connect to the Internet using WiFi. I told them that I was very unhappy about it. Needless to say, they promptly disabled it.
After this, I saw an X on the title bar, where the GPRS connection used to show up (next to the signal strength).
I no longer have the default GPRS connection whenever I try to access the Internet via WiFi. This means that I can now surf the Internet from my PDA without having to incur any data charge.

Well I have no problems, it all works as it should, the programs use the connection already established or connects to GPRS. If it is plugged in on USB it uses that. If you make a Wi-Fi connection it uses that. If you don't make either of those it connects to GPRS. But it won't look to make a Wi-Fi connection first. None of my devices have done that, not just the Orbit.

That is done on purpose as a security measure, you can not have two simultaneous connections (except if your using the phone as a modem when you can have USB & GPRS.)

Hi, Maskedmaraudore. Thanks for your answer. For me the problem isn't it: often I've both connections simultaneously (I supose, both are connected but only one is working and carrying out data, it's clair).
Problem is: with both active connections (wifi correctly started and GPRS available), but no sessions initiated, I run any program having an automatic connection to internet (explorer, outlook,...), and the device starts a GPRS connection without use the current, and able, wireless connection. Why I must pay with GPRS having my home wifi active???
I've the program "NO GPRS", that I found in this forum, I think, but not always I remember to use it: I only want that HTC choice wifi if it's available.
Thanks,

Normally if it is connected to WiFi and if you know the WiFi has a good connection to the internet (i.e. no security, timing, aso.), it should connect. If WiFi does not work, it should try the Wireless connection. If u say that is also setup but still doesnot connect, try to connect it to the computer via USB and see if thats working.
I have used schaps 3.30c until a couple of hours ago and it was working with no issues over wifi and wireless... try hard reset then...
sorry i cant help more...

anyone could kind lent me a hand ?

Does this help?

Bluefire Mobile Security VPN and WM6 not playing well together.

Hello all,
Has anyone been able to install and run Bluefire Mobile Security VPN client against a wifi network on a hermes running WM6?
I've tried installing on VP3g 1.0 and 3.0 and Schaps 3.57a and I get the same issue...
Basically after install, my wifi is turned on but doesn't pick up any wireless networks. I tried turning off and turning on the wifi but still can't find any wifi networks. I opened my wifi network with no encryption and broadcasting it's SSID but no connection.
Did anyone figure out a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

This works http://www.netmotionwireless.com/products/downloads/eval.asp
If you are a business user, get your IT folks to take a no cost eval and try it

Hi Stefc,
Did you try this software connecting to a Cisco VPN concentrator?
Did you have any install problems with WM6?
Thanks in advance

HTC wifi router in wm 6.1

Hi
I have HTC HD rom version 1.14.415.2 wwe
I install HTC wifi router
The problem when I search from the computer to found the router it is not show ???
It does not show signal in the HD that the wifi is start ???

From what you've wrote, and I'm hoping I've understood right what you have said, you probably have a problem with your internet provider.
Wifi Router first connects to your network's internet.
And then "converts" the device into a router, which uses Wi-fi as an internet connection.
So, the problem is probably with your cellular internet connection.

Thanks ladieslova

Portable wifi issue on wildfire s.

Hi all,
I have an unlimited mobile internet data plan for my mobile phone. I am at vodafone.
So in order to use mobile phone internet on my android tablet, i turn on mobile portable hotspot, and succesfully connect my laptop to it through wifi. And voila, the laptop gets internet from my mobile phone ... so good so far ...
But when i run internet explorer at tablet (any site i tried), it keeps redirecting me to vodafone's prepaid mobile internet card site!!
I can't browse at all.
I test the same thing with an xperia ray (android v4) with the same carrier and worked just fine.
i talked to vodafone customer support and they couldnt help at all. (I believe they have locked somehow internet sharing from the mobile phone through wifi)
After that i tried and succesfully rooted my phone, but the problem is still here..
i don't know what to do next
I bielieve switching to custom rom will solve the problem but yet i hesitate because i read that there are lot of bugs at other roms
Any ideas??
plz help!!
