my phone has difficulties with connecting to my schools network (eduroam). Its a 802.1x ttls pap network.
The phone connects, and at first the internet works. After a minute or so, the phone says it is connected, but i cant use internet. (apps/browser)
Even weirder: the phone reboots after disconnecting and reconnecting
Someone please help, its getting so annoying!
Check your baseband, I guess it ends with XXKS2.
Note the 2, not 5

Sup guys is it possible to turn my fone into a WiFi adapter so I can connect to my home internet connection via pc my wifi adapter broke yesterday when I shut the door on it

Yes it is.
Menu> Settings> More> Portable hotspot & tethering
Here you can either choose to set your phone up as a WiFi hotspot so your PC can connect wirelessly to your phone and use it’s 3G for internet connection.
Or you can use USB tethering to achieve the same internet connection but using a cable instead of WiFi. Personally I’ve had more success with this one, as I have found the WiFi Hotspot function to be very hit-and-miss.
You may find that after prolonged inactivity on the connection, it stops working and you have to stop and then re-start USB tethering for it to work. Keep the data flowing though and it seems to work just fine. Obviously take into account your 3G data plan. If you are on a unlimited plan then you are laughing.
Don’t shut your phone in a door!
Lol not teathering via mobile network I'm talking about a pc WiFi dongle adapter which I use on my pc to connect to my home boardband so I can receive full speed connection I'l post a link when I get home with a screenshot so you understand a little better thanks anyway

ok this is what im trying to do but not sure if its possible see screenshot
Answer is No. Android does not allow ad-hoc connections.
HTC does allow you to use internet through usb connection but cant share that out over wifi.
Why not just connect ps3 directly to the router?

Woah! Yeah definitely misinterpreted what you meant!
Looks like you need to fish out your ethernet cable!

Hi All,
I have a D-Link DSL-2740BR N 300 modem router. When I connect my HOX to it's Wifi I get data for about 10 seconds and then it totally locks up. I still have a connection and good signal, but no data come up or down. If I now leave it connected after about 10 minutes all wifi data on my router stops working so no other devices can use it. As soon as I disconnect my HOX from the wifi data returns to all other devices!
I have set the channel so it's not on automatic selection and I have given my HOX a specific DHCP lease, other than that I can't seem to change any other settings on my router that I can see would influence this.
Does anyone have ANY hints coz I don't feel like forking out for a new router and this is just ridiculous!
Thanks in advance.
this happens at work, my hox connects to a linksys wag120n, which is acting as a wap, its connected to another netgear prosafe router.
sometimes, not always, when the hox disconnects, it stops the internet working for all connected devices, even if they aren't using the wireless router at all! then i have to reboot the wireless router, not the other one, to make everything work again.
it doesn't do this at home, it's weird, i've tried playing around with the router settings but no difference... really annoying problem
Did you try to chane WPA to WEP encryption method? It may help. I had the same kind of problem with my Zyxel router.

I haven't tried that. I have had issues with ROMs on my old phone (X10) that it couldn't connect to WPA, but I didn't even think that could be a problem as it does actually connect... It's worth a try I guess, but I think I'm gonna have to try buying a new router...
Cheers.

Yes it is a really annoying problem. I do know that it happened less often with the original ROM & Kernel, but who am I kidding? There's no way I'm going back from CM9!
ive tried a factory reset on the wireless router, will report back whether it helps or not.

Ahh! Thank you! That totally fixed it! I can't believe that could even be a problem... Do you think it's the phone side, or the router side that's having issues with WPA?
Thanks so much!
btw, a factory reset didn't help, however, i have changed my 'Network Mode' option to 'G-only' instead of 'Mixed'
so far, so good, it's been a day or two now, one x happily connecting and disconnecting as i go in and out of office, and the internet hasn't gone down yet!!
glad to hear you got yours working properly as well RaVe-N

Hi there guy's and gal's
I have and odd one I have not encountered before. I have 2 wireless connections at home and when I connect to wifi 1 the phone tells me there is no connection to the internet via that AP.
Yet when I connect to wifi 2 it does not give the same message.
I have turned off the feature "warn when no internet connection"
When I connect via either wifi with mobile data turned off I do get internet, I know there is internet there so I am at a loss why the phone gives me the message saying no internet when there clearly is.
Any ideas on this or should I just live with it and keep the warning message about there being an Internet connection turned off.
I am running the stock firmware and the handset is not rooted. Is as it came to me from factory.
Thanks in advance.

I have a Xperia S running Jellybean (4.1.2) on standard ROM, and I cant connect it to my home network.
I have a Huawei HG523a router on TalkTalk (UK) and for the last month I have had a problem where it wont connect stating 'Failed to connect to Network'. I can see the SSID and have connected by entering the WEP key and also connected through WPS.
On the rare occasion it does connect, as soon as I attempt to use the internet the WIFI kicks me off.
I now this might be an issue with my router and I have posted a similar post on my ISP forum to see if this is the issue.
If you need any info that might help or make it easier for you all to pinpoint the problem let me know and i will do my best to supply that info.
Many thanks
Make sure the MAC address filtering on the router isnt kicking you guys out of the network.
