WiFi Issues
I have exactly the same issues and have tried installing both Opera and Netfront to no avail. I can connect to Wifi perfectly can then sync Avantgo, download quick GPS updates and surf a couple of pages, then the DNS seems to fail, have tried with DHCP and fixed IP's. Think the o2 Orbit has some sort of DNS cache fault...As a side issue when the Orbit does connect it runs the Internet very slowly...Both a XDA IIi and XDAs run perfectly on the same wireless!!
Get the devices early and wait for the fixes!!
the same thing on Artemis - device gets IP from WiFi Access point by DHCP, but without DNS. I set DNS manually and Internet is working thought WiFi now.
I had the same problem then installed Wi-Fi Companion, issue resolved. You can download a trial for three days from Pocketgear or Handango.
I changed the wireless mode of the router to only wifi g
has anyone any idea how to get round this yet?
Tried to connect today and all that happens is ie sits there saying 'locating'
I tried Wifi companion..it shows me connected and everything but still can't surf the net.
how can I set DNS manually? might be worth a try
thanks for any help
quick update...Ive just been doig a tracert and ping of my service provider and although the trace and ping come out ok...i.e. still just sits there saying locating...
anyone any ideas?? getting desperate here
Apologies..another quick update....
it's not that I can't connect to the net..it's that there is a default page on IE that tries to connect to pda.o2.co.uk or something..and this page is either not there or something...so, changed the default page and I'm good to go...
apologies again
Mine did the same ... Heres the fix ... It has trouble locating the home page . Type in manually to the address line the url for say GOOGLE and wait for it to connect . Then go to tools options and save current page ( Google) as home page and hey presto ! Sorted
Hi
I also have a similar problem
I have a 802.11b broadband router (linksys) which works fine with my two wifi PC's and my Wifi XDA Exec to access the Internet and collect e-mail
I just got an XDA Orbit and although it "sees" and connects to the Broadband router it will NOT allow access to the internet or e-mail (apart from one very short half page of ntlworld.com home page on one occasion)
WORST than that , when I use the XDA Orbit with Wifi and Internet Explorer - it HANGS the wi-fi router after about 30 secs and I have to reset it before I can access the Internet from any other PC's !!
What am I doing WRONG ???
Any suggestions welcomed
I tried the above 'fixes' and it DID get me a BIT further
i.e. I was able to get a connection to google.co.uk for about 30 seconds and do one enquiry - but then it STILL hung the router and the XDA Orbit was stuck saying 'locating'
Take a look here this worked for me.
Sorry did not work for me - after 30-40 seconds of surfing IE hangs on 'locating' and the router hangs and has to be re-set
ANYTHING TO DO WITH 802.11b compatibility ????????
Where can I get Opera browser to try that ?
How many posters have fixed this problem ?
OK
I downloaded the latest trial version of OPERA and tested that
EXACTLY the same result
If I switch on WiFi and connect to the Internet via Opera, I can access the internet for about 30 seconds, then the browser cannot access any more
If I switch of WiFi on the Orbit quickly, then the Router is OK - if I don't, then the Router Hangs and all my computers lose internet access
Has anyone else seen this ??
Has anyone cured this ??
Is is an 802.11b problem ??
Hi, just got my Galaxy Nexus from UK and has a very strange wifi issue.
When I enble wifi, it connects to my home network automatically, but it does not show the available networks, so I can't connect to other networks.
Sometimes, when I'm in an area with a few free hotspots, the phone enters in a reboot cycle and I have to remove the battery, startup and quicly disable wifi, or get out of the range of those hotspots.
Does anybody else hve a similar issue?
Hey,
i have a problem with the wifi of my HOX. It's always showing that there is a connection to my router but sometimes it cant conecct to the internet.. eg. if i want to open browser there comes a network error etc.
Any solution?
Hey Guys,
I am having an issue with internet connection. I am connected to my wifi but none of my applications can load anything. When I open an app all it says is "error loading" or "Look at network connection". However, I can browse on chrome with no issue. I've tried restarting the device and connecting to other networks but that hasn't help. Was hoping one of you guys may know what's wrong.
Thanks!
I don't know if this problem occurs only with the OP3. It seems the phone stiil uses 3G if Wifi is not getting a connection (wifi with exclamation mark)
When I connect to a wifi network that needs login, if I don't login the OP3 continues to use 3G instead of failing to connect. This causes me problems to access the gateway page to login, because it gets confused and it tries to access the private IP with the login page using the 3G connection..
I remember my S4 had a possibility of seamlessly switching between 3G and Wifi. Can't I disable this feature in the OP3?
Right now I have to disable the mobile data to force the login through the wifi connection. Is it just me with this problem?
This can be handy in some situations where you loose wifi connection in a public hotspot, due to a timeout, and the phone uses 3G instead of leaving you without any connection. But right now is causing me problems to connect and I must be carefull with huge traffic apps because you can be using 3G instead (look for the !)
I still haven't solve this annoyance. Currently the best workaround is to temporarly disconnect Mobile Data. That will leave the OP3 without internet access, and then it pops the login page (I guess it then assumes the gateway IP is private).
After logging in I can turn mobile data On again.
This is very annoying. Don't you have this problem, especially with corporate wifi networks that require login?
