XDA IIs Wifi and lockups

Does anyone have a problem with their wifi locking up their xda iis? I have bought a linksys router and am getting frequent lockups when using wifi. I am using the shipped O2 rom, thanks

I have no problem at all with Netgear router. Try changing the connection speed setting in the router to the "b" mode only. Hopefully this can solve your problem.

No problems here either I'm afraid. I'm using a Draytek Vigor 2600VG at home and at work there are two of us with XDA IIs using a Linksys BEFDSR41W wireless router and no problems there either.
Sorry! :-(
Try a hard reset (gulp!) and see if you still have problems (Without anything else installed that might be inteferring) otherwise might be a faulty unit perhaps.

I second what xanth said, I had the problem where wifi would not turn on, so I hard reset and installed each software back individually the problem was Calligrapher 7.3 did not like being in Storage or Storage Card only in Main memory (go figure)

I use the XDA IIs on a variety of wireless networks and experience problems with an alarming regularity. The most annoying is the fact that the top bar seems to loose functionality, when using wireless!!

I will actually add that I do seem to have problem with the "range" of WiFi.
I need to do more testing, but it doesn't seem to be more than 20m or so before have communication issues/timing out :-( Will have to find out what our walls are made of!!!

I have problems connecting sometimes. I regularly use three routers, Draytek, Buffalo and Belkin. The only time that it locks up is when using skype. The skype problem is a known issue with no cure.

I am having a problem where my Siemens SX66 will loose connection to my Microsoft MN700 wireless AP on occasion. -It simply appears as if the Wifi radio shuts itself off.
Weird.....

Wifi has never worked for me. It simply doesn't work in the way nature intended.
The main problem (as far as I can tell) seems to be that it cannot get DNS or IP configuration settings from my router (Belkin 7630) automatically.
It can connect to my wireless network without any hassle, but that's about it. If I enter DNS and IP settings manually it works fine. But this is unworkable if you want to connect to another wireless network.
If I can't sort this out by next week I'm going to sell the unit on eBay. It's been nothing but a pain since I mistakenly bought it in December.
Wifi is a nightmare on this device! I'm going back to Nokia.

I am going to do a hard reset and test to see if i still get any freezes. Anyone know of any software i can use to backup my text messages?

Hi guys,
Haven't had too many issues with WiFi over here - standard O2 Asia ROM (with the BT 3500 update).
I'm running a Netgear WG602 @ home with 64bit WEP and a Dlink AP2100 @ work with WPA-PSK. No connectivity problems at either location, both DHCP. It does however take a few minutes to connect, but this is on the odd occasion.
The only frustrating thing with the WiFi is that I have to soft-reset often to turn Wi-Fi on - any ideas? Hopefully O2 will fix this in the next ROM. Other than that, I've had the Nokia 9500, P900/800 and this is by far the best device for the power user.
Just me 2c!
Cheers

Wifi is on all the time on my device, sometimes when I switch the device on while within range of an AP it does not connect. Often switching wifi off and then onn again causes it to connect. If this does not work then I can often go into the network dialogue section, and see the network marked as 'availble' but not connected (why it sometimes does not auto connect I dont know). Tapping connect usually cures. If that does not work then I too need to soft reset.
I hope like you that they fix this cause its damned anoying. I will be interested to see what the Benq P50 is like when its released. I shall get one from expansys to test and ship it back within the 7 days.

As for those having problems with specific access points. It is not nessesarily the fault of the blue angel. It seems to me that none of the manufacturers of wireless kit understand the term 'standard' they all seem to have their own take on it, which is why kit from different manufacturers refuses to talk to each other. I am of the opinion that they do it in purpose to lock you into using their client cards with their AP's !!
Try it with some non Belkin kit and see what happens.
Nigel

Well i tried a hard reset and didnt install any apps and tried connecting to wifi again and still got a lockup and loss of connectivity. Im going to swap the router for another make and see what happens

Swapped my linksys router for a D-Link and so far no problems after 2 days. so looks like my problem was my router.

XDA IIi and wifi
I just bought one of these and can't get it connected. I have a netgear wg602 access point. When I finally figured out how to set the IP manually (the 02 xda tech support said it can't be done - maybe they're right ;-)
I now have it saying it's connected, with right IP address. My DNS and gateway are set up for the wireless adapter in network adapters. The signal is average. The XDA says wifi is connected. The access point even says it's authenticated and associated - same as my other stations.
Only problem is, internet explorer doesn't find any web pages - says "The page you are looking for cannot be found" (works fine through GPRS)
Also, terminal services times out trying to connect to an internal IP address (to eliminate DNS as a problem)
So, anyone know how I troubleshoot network problems - it looks like a TCP/IP issue? Can't find ping or arp etc. I've also tried an IP address that I know works on the network.
thanks for any help

Hi
For ping, ipconfig and stuff, head to http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html
I have had multiple issues trying to get wifi working reliably. It still fails now, but there are a few tricks to get it working again. Most of my wifi issues have been due to regular use of three AP's [email protected] and [email protected] along with GPRS and VPN.
To start with I suggest setting all the ****e in connections (internet and home network to 'My ISP' then goto your wifi setup, network adapters, and tell it that the wireless card connects to the internet. Now, tap ok, and goto tools, network cards, tap the active connection (it must already be connected) and ensure that its set to internet.
Next soft reset the thing, and wait for it to connect to yr wifi. Now, use the ipconfig tool and ping tool from the above site to check that all is OK. Check that its got the default gateway right and a sensible LAN IP.
I have found on occasion that I can be connected via wifi, but that the device is still trying to talk using an old IP allocated by gprs which means nothing to my lan! IPconfig will show if all is OK.
Whoever wrote the whole of the networking system (and its terrible gui's) on windows mobile wants shooting. I usually have 2 VPN profiles setup under my work network. If I leave it set to that, and use wifi from my lan to connect to the internet all is fine. However if I try and access a local server, the damned thing starts trying to connect a vpn (it aint inteligent enough to work out that the IP I asked it to connect to is local).
I have been trying to find a setting for all this networking rubbish that allows me to do *everything* without reconfiguring each time - to no avail.
Another thing to note is that you cant send/receive MMS messages while wifi is connected (more stupidity), it tries to connect to the MMS server using the wifi connection, and the telco blocks it cause it wants to charge you for sending MMS over GPRS. Only solution is to disconnect wifi, send MMS then reconnect wifi!!!

No problems with WiFi for me
Hmm I'm using an O2 Asia Rom as well.. and my wifi manager seems to automatically create "settings" for each AP it detects and I seem to have no problems connecting at all... been using WiFi around my house since the first day i got it..
i am using a Linksys Wireless 802.11b router..
btw I am new here.. finally able to register!
How's everybody doing?

Cannot turn off IEEE 802.1x
Has anyone had problems unchecking the 'IEEE 802.1x netwrok access control' checkbox???
I uncheck it, but then when I go back to the screen (click on the connection | then select 802.1x tab at the bottom) it has checked itself again!
The XDA IIs does not save the setting - it just keeps re checking itself 02 help have been no use - they sent me an instruction manual and it even says in one of the step 'uncheck IEEE check box'
Im am using a netgear wirelesss router and have also tried on a d-link
Sugestions - is anyone else having this problem??

AOL with wifi problem help needed maybe fix with activesync?

after spends countless hours of trying to set up an internet wifi set up i find aol broadband is not compatible with my router (netgear). im gutted as the only reason i bought the router was to connect to the internet via my blue angle.
i can still browse files and connect with activesync using wifi. when i connect to activesync i still get all the updates with anvantgo. so this means that its connects to the internet all be it via a kind of third party. is there not a program which could sync the pda to the pc and get the pc to receive the data and then sync it back to the pda if that makes any sense what so ever?????
apart from cancelling my AOL account which is in another 6months has anyone got any ideas????

I have a netgear 834GT (I think) wifi ADSL / router thingy that seems to work OK with my AOL UK account...and I think Netgear routers are on the AOL list of recommended kit....and since you're getting to avantgo, you must be on the net, but I know how infuriating this stuff can be...I couldn't get my XDA IIs to connect to my wifi network for nearly 2 weeks!!

Just been on to aol customer support, they don’t support networking for silver customers and they want me to upgrade to broadband so instead of 17.99 I need to pay 24.99 a month + buy a new wireless router which they support at the moment they only support one wireless router and conveniently they sell this for £80.
So my £35 net gear router is now worthless looks like im going to have to sell it back on ebay.
I still can not help thinking that there must be another way round this using activesync or another program like this.
Edit, if you ring aol and say you want to cancel they will offer you the gold service for 19.99 a month you don’t need to finish your contract if have still got 7 months

still no ideas abt activesync????????????

AOL Gold simply allows multi user access.
For AOL Broadband to work you need to drop the MTU rate to 1400 from 1500 or 1482.
It should work, but only one person can log on at a time. So whatever your main name is , set this up as the logon details for the router.
This may or may not work. The MTU rate is important for AOL.

Don't use AOL. That's my advice. They lock all sorts of things down. Pain in the *SS

what wireless router are you using as i need to buy a new one which works

sorry to hear you're still having problems....i forgot to mention I'm on AOL gold (I had to upgrade to broadband in the first place as our work VPN connection kept dropping...apparently well known 'issue' with AOL they have a 'keep alive' or 'heartbeat' signal that the VPN blocks, so AOL disconnect you!).
anyway, after deciding to go broadband I went for gold as it allows more than one connection at a time. The Netgear router I have is the DG834GT as I said before, and once I got the wifi connected, its fine. however I often get this problem that after 'connecting' you just get 'cannot connect to network' errors all the time, even though the XDA IIs is 'connected' to the network! I've found recently that re-inputting my WEP code seems to clear this - god knows why!

the thing is where i live i can not get gold as the line is bad. so they want me to pay for gold and not get the service just so i can have a router.

How can I share my 3G with wifi?

Can some one tell me how to share my 3G connection over wifi? I need to make the phone as a portable access point.

no can do.
Bluetooth or USB

Try hitchhiker it's free! but I'm not sure if it works for sharing using 3G... try it and let me know http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/

No, It doesn't support to share the 3G connection.

So use Internet sharing over BT ?

Would like to use it as a wireless access point, so I can get access from computer and iPhone, seem like I have hard time to find a solution.

share the connection with the PC by USB. Put a wifi stick/pcicard in the PC and bridge the connections, then the iFoon can have 3G too

i have tried to share a connection this way but have had no luck when using internet connection sharing/pan.
i did get it to work this way back in the day when the phone ran wm5 and had dun.
do you have any pointers on how to get internet connection sharing in wm6 to let more than one device connect to the 3g connection?

seems like you may need an app on your pc to manage/route the connections not sure if this helps but you can try "network Magic" it give you a bit more options on the pc side for managing connections. would like to see where this goes for possible future applications. i'll give it a try when i have some free time and check with an comp tek friend of mine see what he thinks.

Yeah it sucks that no one has created a way to share the wifi connection just like we share bluetooth or usb.
We also need a proxy server that we can run on our phone.

ok, for me the boring part is the time of the connection, you can share via wifi by just turning on your internet sharing in whatever the pc connection, you just need to manually deffine your hermes wifi to 192.168.0.1 and it shares via internet sharing! The question here is that the connections stops after 10 minutes becouse of the warnig "check usb cable connection". Its very irritating to have to start connection every 10 min. !!!!!

awww...iPhones not fast enough Data-Wise for ya?
thought it was supposed to "revolutionize PDA Phones"
hah.
sorry, i had to add my 2¢ against Apple.

Beware, some mobile provider allready use NAT, thus you'll recieve a non-routable IP. I am not sure that you will be able to share a connection of this kind.

Question - Can you tether a Wifi connection from your Phone to your PC

Hello, I have been searching around for a day and a half now to no avail. I figure I will ask here as a last attempt before I go and buy another USB wifi adapter.
I am trying to use my HTC Dash with WM6.5 to tether an available wifi connection over to my Windows 7 PC. Basically trying to use the phone as a wifi adapter. The phone has no cell data service, but can connect to the home wifi network that is here. My Windows 7 PC has no Wifi adapter (I left it behind >.<).
Here is where I am at. The HTC Dash is connected to the Wifi network, and when I try to select a Network in the ICS program, it says there is none available. I have been able to get USB selected in ICS, and the phone connected to the computer. In Windows I see a Windows Mobile Remote Adapter in the Network Connections area when I sync the device in Windows Mobile Center. But no matter what I try, ICS sharing on the phone will not let me select the Wifi connection it has.
Through my searching I have found a lot of information on tethering 2G and 3G internet through USB, and using the phone as a Wifi Hotspot. But those where no help in this.
My friend on a G1 with Andriod can tether Wifi connections to a pc, and I am wondering if Windows Mobile can do the same thing. I can flash my ROM from to 6.0 or 6.1 WM if needed.
Thanks in advance to any advice given, hopefully someone can help me out

UPDATE: Still have no luck. I found a program called ICS Control v.21, but it only works on touchscreen WM phones, not WM standard. Which means a bunch of crashing.
This program would do exactally what I need it to do... just does not support my phone. Well the search continues... looking like I may just have to go buy an USB Wifi adapter soon.

tethering w/wifi
It does work. I'm currently answering this on my 2nd desktop Vista with my S620 via my home wifi network. Waiting for a 25' ethernet connector to hardware to wifi/modem Not quite sure how it is with a wifi adapter but 2 things I do know from experience. You shouldn't need an adapter.
1st: you can't be in Sync Center while trying to tether, at least in my case on a Vista desktop. It won't let you tether while the sync is running (or your already synced).
2nd: (this worked for me) open internet sharing on your Dash/S620, pc connection-usb and be ready to hit connect the 1st couple of seconds after pluging your usb connector into your phone, and give it 10-20 seconds to actually connect. If you wait to long to hit connect, the phone will start syncing with the computer. Won't let you tether.
RE-read post, missed thar "WinMo" remote part. My bad. Don't own Win 7. Don't know what that is.
Question: Is there an active wifi where you are ? From your post it sounds like "yes"
You do not need a wifi adapter. You do need a USB cord.
I tethered with edge for a bit, but then got to thinking. Try Wifi. It worked, but be quick.
Neither one is super fast but Wifi is definitely faster than Edge. Better than not being on the net at all. Occasionally it'll cut out, just unplug usb, get to connect screen, plug in and hit connect. Should be set.
As a side note: I also tried tethering with G1. Xferd pc driver to Vista from G1 but computer says it can't find the driver. Gave up after 2 hours.
G1 tethering works great on XP though.
Hope this helps. Good Luck. Really cool when it works.

Are you using a wifi tether or just usb?
If wifi, what program/version are you using and where did you get it? I got the ICS usb tether working, but my version of wmwifirouter.cab won't even install on the dash. cheers

I'll have to break out the Dash again and let you know. It's been sitting for weeks since I repaired LCD screen and flashed my TMO Wing. Can't seem to stop playing with it.
Give me a little time and I'll get back to you.
You do have a wifi modem, correct ? I was using usb.

Right, just to be clear, my goal is to set up my Dash to receive it's edge data and transmit that out as a wifi signal that my laptop will pick up and connect to the internet. No USB connection. I'm getting an ipad eventually and this is all to avoid that stupid 3g garbage they're hawking.
I tried a program called wmwifirouter.cab but was unsuccessful. An ad-hoc wifi network was created by my phone and my laptop was connected to it but couldn't connect to the internet. And my phone kept crashing.
Any ideas? Thanks

Well, in your case, I won't be any help. What I did was run a 2nd computer off of my Dash with a Wifi Modem.
XP in another room with a wifi modem attached on Comcast, Dash on wifi and usb to Vista computer, since I didn't have a 25ft ethernet cable at the time.
Was running Vista-Dash-wifi modem-XP to comcast so I could run 2nd computer without being hard wired.
I'm familiar with wifirouter cab. It let's you use your phone like a hotspot, correct ?
In all my searches for various things for the phones, I thought I saw a different application that did the same thing. Possibly might even have it. I'll check and upload for ya if I find it. Have hundreds of cabs/zips to search. Let you know.
Possibly google it and you might find it yourself. There's a program called: WalkingHotSpot online for $24.99 if you don't mind spending. Dash isn't listed as a supported windows device but looking at the other phones listed my guess would be it should work. Try their DEMO version, see if it works.
Good Luck.......
2AM and I was just wondering......When you received your phone, you also got a usb cable with it, right ?
Why don't you just usb Dash to laptop and use "internet sharing" ????

My plan is to set this up for an iPad, which doesn't allow internet access over a USB cable, so USB tethering is out, has to be wifi.

Do you have a home computer ? If so, get yourself a Wifi Modem and set up a home network. $40-60. Although Comcast sold me mine for $20 and I get to keep it. I can get all 5 phones on the internet at the same time, not that I need to. It'll also be so much faster then running thru Edge. Besides the fact video's don't play for crap tethered running through Edge. Just a suggestion.
My opinion stands concerning Apple. Get ready to cough up more fees for internet (ATT). They're doing away with unlimited data. Did you see their prices ?
You'll never catch me with ATT.
I just put WMWifiRouter on my TMO Wing 6.5. let you know how it worked. Setup went fine, so far.

did you try downloading the actual .cab from WMWIFIROUTER.COM it's only a trial for 21 days, the "Free" versions don't work on the dash i've tried many of them.
once you install and get it set up be sure to write down the Access ID and Password it gives you so you can connect to the WiFi signal beaming from your phone from your PC. It works for me to tether a WiFi connection from my Dash to PC though I prefer the more stable Internet Sharing USB to PC and I have an Unlimited Data Plan.
WMWIFIROUTER also lets you tether a connection from your phone via bbluetooth.

I use WMWiFiRouter and its a life saver. It lets you pretty much tether any connection to any other.
Just yesterday I was at a meeting in a resturant with some clients and used it to hook my netbook to the internet and used bluetooth as the connection to the phone. Yes, Internet Sharing can do that, but it has alot more it can do too.
You can use Bluetooth, USB (it shows up as a USB modem), or even set it up as a WiFi Router.
Very cool program and it works perfectly on the Dash. I love it.
I never tried the trial version. A friend of mine showed it to me, so I just bought it. It's under $20. Well worth it if you run into that situation often.

Is this possible ?? Connect our phone to a router?

My dad has a motor home and canceled his Comcast account for where he keeps it (some motor home park)
Because his internet speeds with his phone is amazing to say the least.
He's fine with just tethering but I was wondering if its possible to some how connect his phone to the router ??
The router is more powerful at sending the wifi, plus he has some things hardwired (roku,computer)
It seems like there should be a way, but I have no clue..
THANKS!

just enable WiFi tethering, you don't need a router for that

Yeah use either wifi tether or barnacle (same thing better options and free) then your phone becomes a wireless router which uses your cellular data connection for internet so subject to plan limits and throttling.
Connect multiple devices like you would your usual router. Any device that can use wifi should pretty much work this way just follow app directions too it's easy just usually have to ok each device on phone before it can access the internet
Note: eats battery for breakfast so keep charger and some power source handy if needed for long sessions
Keep number of clients as low as you can more clients = less time on battery and phones not meant to handle a ton of routing
oh and TMobile is known to firewall certain Ports on their end

Thanks.. Yea I know about tethering as we both do it all the time..
As I said, in his motor home his router is already set up to many things (Direct TV, Roku,Computer, laptop)
Yes we can just do it through wifi tether, but I thought you would be able to some how hook it right into a router that is WiFi/Ethernet and just leave it at that..
Believe it or not at 45 feet long, with some stuff in the back and some in the front, the signal sometimes isn't as strong

This is advice only I am not responsible for anything you choose to do with any of your own personal equipment!
It ain't easy but it is possible but you would need to create a wifi bridge but unless your router can use dd-wrt or other custom firmware won't work.
Basically you would start wifi tether then use router via DD-wrt to connect as client to phones wifi said and then it would share that with devices connected to the router out again though phone would still bottle neck speed if too many clients go too crazy on data because in the end all data must flow through phone to the internet.
I did it with a cheap linksys wrt54g v8 but I bridge my ISP router out to another room. Also all wired Ports on router would also go back to phone and internet

Something else you can do is wired tether to a computer and set the other computer's gateway to that computer's ip. If this sounds like an option you are curious reply and I'll give full instructions.

Well you could just bridge the phone connection in network connects to I've that connects to router set router gateway to that computers IP (set up ics in windows walks through comp piece after phone tethered and all drivers set). If you use crossover ethernet cable (trees different than straight through normal cable I know I do camping telecom work all day either buy one from just bout anywhere just be sure it says crossover) or make one) from computer with USB or wifi tethered phone to routers WAN port and set router IP manually to something like
Computer:
IP: 192.168.1.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: the IP of the bridge created by ics
Router
IP:192.168.1.2
Same subnet
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
That is very basic and off the cuff while on smoke break Google ics and basic use of bridges connections for detailed info
You would have to have that computer run full time without going to sleep for internet access via phone even from rest of network. Otherwise all devices would see either and work between themselves butno internet until gateway was on and awake.

Yes, set phone with barnacle then connect DD-wrt using client bridge under wireless after you either clicked SSID using their pop up or entered it manually drop down box at bottom is client bridge. Don't forget to click security and set the settings accordingly.
Also don't forget to click to allow DD-WRT router on your phone screen when you connect it just like any computer before it will see the internet.

i realize this is an old thread that i am hoping to revive...
i have an android phone that is rooted.
also have a linksys wrt54gl router
i am trying to do one of several things and i need some help...
i am wanting to use my wifi hotspot on the phone fed through the router to get internet...
i can already tether in windows 10 straight to the phone... my issue is linux mint 18 isnt seeing any wireless connections and it doesnt pick up a usb tether as wired. i dont have dsl or anything like that. only mobile data provides internet..
i am super confused.
router has dd-wrt installed i just am confused on how to get it to work....
each page i read is something different and i havent found the setting that works, and im not terribly knowledgeable about this either.
i installed the dd-wrt because of linux being that it is linux firmware for the router i figured it would communicate way better and not have to do work arounds etc...
my linksys ae1200 needs to much work and its still not seeing that one and i havint figured out ndiswrapper or ndsgtk (might have that incorrect- essentially the gui for ndiswrapper)
im trying to figure it on windows 10 right now and havent tried for linux.. figured its just way better to ask... i could care less about configuring for windows 10.. system is dual boot win10 and linux mint 18.
i want it to work so i can get linux where it can do updates and download from internet the necessary package through synaptic, etc...
trying to do other things with linux for android...
AGAIN there is not wired connection to work from so in general im just having a hard time.
any and all help is appreciated and if im in the wrong thread, please direct me to the correct one.
thank you
