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 ??

WIFI wont work!

I cant seem to get WIFI working on my xda orbit. I can get the wifi to connect to my wireless router fine, It gets a IP address but when i open up PIE it gets stuck on locating and then says it cant find the webpage.
I have WEP security setup on my router and i know that its not that because i can access the web fine from my Dell Axim X50v. Does anyone have any ideas?

I can connect to all the shared drives on my network via my orbit just not the internet? I dont have a proxy set up just a direct connection to the internet.
I've hard reset my orbit and the problem still exists. Please Help!

Hi,
I've just set my XDA Orbit up in the last 5 minutes on WiFi through a secured Netgear Router. I get an IPaddress, and then recieve the same message. PIE is looking for a PDA web page. I just typed in www.google.com using the keyboard and it works fine. I've now made ths my home page. PIE works great.
Hope this helps
UPO.

Help XDA Orbit wireless through PC

Hi guys,
Having some trouble connecting my Orbit to the internet through wi-fi...
I set my desktop to share internet connection through wireless and have been surfing on my laptop via this for ages...
Now when I switch Wi-Fi on the orbit on, it finds the network, put my WEP key in and it connects... then when I go into IE and go to a page it says "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings click "settings"......."
When I click settings it just takes me to the page that says
"My Work Network
Add a new modem connection
Add a new vpn server connection
Set up my proxy server"
Can anyone help with what the heck I need to be doing to get the internet working?!?!
Cheers
GK

UPDATE:
Whilst I was typing the message (supposedly still connected through wi-fi to the internet) the Orbit beeped at me and message said
"Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings"
Could that be whats causing the problem and how can I fix it?
Cheers
M

Solved my own problem thanks to the BBC website...
What are the chances of this happening on the same night as I get my XDA and try to set up my wireless...

WiFi help

Hy. I bought my defy one week ago and I have noticed some inconsistencies with the WiFi function. I got it tot work on a public network in a restaurant on the first try. At home however everything seems so random : I got it to connect to WiFi 5-6 times eventhough I don't have a router but most of the times I get the : "connection detected" notification but no internet access ( when i select the network in the wifi settings it says the signal is excellent ).
My modem is a Huawei EchoLife HG520s, I am running windows 7 x32, my phone was not rooted and i didn't make a blur account.. that doesn't work either.
I would really appreciate your help.

You are getting wifi signal at home but do not have a router? You mean a wifi router? If that's the case maybe you are picking up wifi signals from someone else's router and you cannot connect because you need to sign on? If you are having trouble getting on your own router, could you tell us what it is etc.?
You didn't set up a Blur account? Or you did and it doesn't work? Where are you located? If you tried to set it up and couldn't it may be because some markets (I hear) do not support Blur. For instance, there are some models of Defy that do not have Blur and that's probably why.

Sorry i should have made it clearer: i have not bought any kind of router but the modem i use could have a wifi router incorporate(i don't know if it does i lost its documentation).
I live in a house with no nearby sources of wifi and both networks (the one i use to connect to the internet from my pc and the wifi i find if i scan wth my phone have the same name)
I live in Romania and everytime i try to set up a Blur account and click the start button it cancels.

Is there any way you can temporarily disable your modem's wifi security just so you can get on to see if that works? Make sure to turn it back on after, this is just to see if that's the cause of the trouble.
Also about setting up a Blur account - did you try that at home, or at an open Wifi area (eg. the restaurant)? If it doesn't work at home then I guess it's worth trying it at the restaurant or any other place where you can get the connection to work.

Well the network i get here at home is 'open' and i get a connection everytime.. just no internet access on my phone and the computer doesn't seem to recognise the connection (happen exactly he same even on the times i had internet access)

exactly what happened to me. is not a router's problem but a DNSes problem.
you must enter the router and disable the "automatic DHCP". enter in the settings of the phone, wifi, advanced DNS settings automatically if not found. and it work.
P.S. after this if you have problems with your computer, right click the connection, and then do "problem solving". good luck ...

the only problem is that I can't seem to find a router in my devices.. i have a internet modem that might have a wi-fi router incorporated

How does the computer connect to the modem if it uses USB i'm not too sure what you can do but if it uses ethernet what I recommend you do is click on start, and type in "cmd" when this loads type "ipconfig /all" this will then bring up all the details of your connection. What you are looking for is the default gateway, this will be the address of your router. With this add "http" and the default gateway number into a browser,you should then be able to get into the routers config and then you can follows powertony84's guide.

Well i'm pretty sure the network I connect to with my phone is mine because i just changed its security level to WEP using bobdigby advice. But I got lost afterward.
I have attached a prinscr of the DHCP setting i can fiddle with and i really appreciate your help so far

Any idea what channel i should use? i got a tip to chage the channel but i don't know into which one

I don't use any router but I turn my laptop, which supports wifi, into a wifi hotspot so that my defy can use wifi within my apartment. It's wonderful!

[Q] Problem with my internet connections or....

Hello,
I want to ask something about my new Z1 Compact.
Pretty impressive out of the box, but then i found some problems...
Notice : i've upgrade to 4.4.2 with wi-fi right after i bought it.
the problem is :
1. i can't connect properly to google play
2. i can't connect to social media apps (path, twitter, facebook, etc) via mobile network (wi fi is ok)
3. i can't connect to internet with google chrome (pretty sad that's the only way to surf the web since no android browser)
what bothering me is, if i'm using it as USB Tether with my laptop, everything's goes find, i can surf with ease.
Is it the phone ?
If it is, what's causing it ? (hardware or software)
oh yeah, i've tried to repair it via PC Companion software from my office's PC.
Please share with me if anyone have the same problem
Thank you

Hi There,
I've found the solution for my problem, at last !
Maybe you can do it too on your device.
The problem is with the APN, my provider instructed to use just the APN name and let all the rest blank.
And the default setting on the device, everything filled up (proxy, dns, username, etc).
I just enter the right apn and let anything else blank, Voila, the connection speeds up again.
I hope you find your solution soon, mate.
Cheers
