Probably already posted, but I've searched the forum for like 30 minutes trying to find it and haven't.
When you set up an e-mail account in Messaging, you have can go into options (e-mail setup pg 4/4) and choose the connection. For me, since I have Cingular, my options are MEdia Net, My Work Network, My ISP, Work, The Internet. What I'd like to do is since I have a wifi connection at home, I'd like to use that first as it is faster, but when I'm not home I'd like it to use the GPRS. When I have the connection set to MEdia Net, the phone disconnects from the wifi and connects to GPRS to check for e-mail and when I have it set to The Internet and am not connected to a wifi network, it sends back an error that it cannot connect instead of connecting to GPRS (even if I've already selected to connect to GPRS). Any ideas on how to make this work?
PS - I'm sure this is a newb question, so in your flames to me, could you point me to the answer anyway?
I have never had this problem before and whilst I am not the most technical, I am a long time user of pocketpc's.
When I try to connect to the internet whilst cradled, it tells me this connection cannot connect to the internet. So I go into the connection settings of "My Work Settings" and find the "this network connects to the internet" checkbox is cleared. So I tick it. My network does not have a proxy, so I leave that clear.
I go and try to connect again and get the same. I go back to the connection settings, and the checkbox has cleared again. It doesn't matter how many times I go back and set it, it keeps clearing.
I have tried creating a new connection, still clears. I have tried setting a proxy for SOCKS but not the others...doesn't clear it (the proxy checkbox seems to force the "this network connects to the internet" to stay) but I can't connect because it is looking for a proxy in the https (or so I assume).
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks
I too have this (Athena WM6).
I have a GPRS connection for internet, and a VPN connection for my work network.
I would like to be able to connect to both work and internet via wifi.
Ideally it should be possible to select whether a particular Wireless SSID is work or roaming, but also allow access to the internet from the work network.
Sorry I was mistaken in subject
Can it have something to do with syncing, since your device is in the cradle.
I'm having this issue as well on my Wizard WM6.
i'm trying to connect to my home network. It see's it and connects to it... but then straight after it connects to it it totally disconnects and the wifi is turned off... what could be the probelm?
Did the problem persist after soft-reset? If yes, did u install any profiles manager (like phoneAlarm etc. which u can switch wifi on specific time) or did u changed any wifi settings using advanced config/hdtweak/similar apps?
I have an issue with wifi where when i use my works wifi it connects and then should i check IP it clearly shows the works network, however...
when at home and connect to my home wifi it still says connected however when i check my network IP the browser is clearly using the t-mobile 3G internet.
It's baffling to say the least. I've tried closing browser, changing order i open connections etc but to no avail.
Any thoughts?
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.

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 frequently work at a location with an AT&T hotspot. The problem is that when you connect to it, this particular location directs you to a terms of service accept page before it will give access.
Problem is that my S3 connects to the hotspot automatically, and since I don't accept the terms of service, my email will not sync.
Is there a way to keep the phone from connecting automatically to an AT&T hotspot? I try to long click the wifi settings for AT&T, but I don't have the option to delete it. (I am fine with it never connecting automatically to this particular hotspot)
Better yet, is there a way to allow automatic connections to certain hotspots/wifi networks and not others? For instance I want to automatically connect to work and home networks, but not automatically connect to others (clinets and AT&T)
Thanks!
