I can connect to WIFI fine, and it works fine for 1 minute, but after a minute I get no data. I still get the connect icon, and the wifi manager still says I'm connected with all the signal strength and ip address etc, but I get no responce from web pages etc.
I am on offical HTC WM6 Rom. It has been hard reset.
I've hard reset my router and tried it with no security and still get the same problem, so I'm quite sure its the phone.
It has been working before, but the pass few days I've updated the Radio to 1.50, but then back to 1.48.00.10, not sure if that is related.
Any ideas?
Hi, I got the HTC desire during the week and all going great so far except issues with connecting to my Wi-fi at home.
On initial setup i had it scan for my wireless signal but had to manually enter it, network is not hidden. 3 laptops, PS3, PSP, DS all have been able to see it and connect in the past. Anyway, connected through WPA and was able to connect to the internet and market fine.
The issue is it keeps dropping the connection, signal bar stays as if connected but all pages timeout. turning the wireless on/off does not resolve, sometimes turning the power on/off will sort it, most times not. I drove to work last night, 25km and it said i was still connected to a network untill i disabled the wireless on the phone in the carpark !!
I have trawled the net and have come across known issues with other HTC devices and wireless networks but most of the fixes i tried have drawn a blank so far, bar hard reset.
Unsure if it is settings in my router or the phone. One thing i did notice is when it was connected and i went to the settings>wireless and networks it was smooth like the usual progs on the phone, but when i cant connect and go to the settings it is serious laggy.
BB is Eircom, netopia router.
Phone is Vodafone.
Any other info needed just ask, could do with a fix for this before i pull my hair out.
edit: downloaded a wifi analyzer app and it says my signal is very weak, even sitting on the router, it is either the router sending the wrong signal or the hardware on the phone i think.
Anyone have to chage their wireless settings on the router to get the desire to connect ? If so, to what ?
Update.
powered off my phone and ran the wifi analyser again, same thing, -98db.(red, no signal)
powered off the phone again, and was hitting -40db sitting on top of the router and ~ -70 2 rooms away(green/yellow) and internet pages were flying, this is what is happening, may stay for 10 mins and go again.
Another update:
I had a good connection so changed the sleep from 1 min to 30, checked the sig strenght every 15 mins, surfed a few pages and all fine. Changed the sleep back to 1 min, let it sleep, came back 5 mins later and wifi dead again. this leads me to taking the router out of the equation and phone based issue.
Wifi issues
Hiya,
I had exactly the same problem with my desire. It is on Orange UK and came withall their crud on it. I spent two days playing around with the router settings and phone settings. I could connect to the router but not use the internet. In the end I followed the links on here to erase the orange crud and install a generic rom. After that the phone connected to wifi internet and telephone internet and switches between them without any problems whatsoever. I did wonder if it was a ploy by the telecom provider to get you to use more of their online data rather than over wifi.

Thanks for the reply Len.
It is a vodafone phone (Ireland) Non branded, no vodafone sortware as far as i can see.
Some Info: Firmware 2.1 update1, software 1.15.405.4, browser webkit 3.1
yesterday the internet connection on my phone seemed to have stopped working. While the phone shows that it is connected to tmobile 3g, whenever i try to access anything requiring data (twitter, opera, etc) i simply get whichever error is associated with that program saying it cannot connect. I have tried several different radios and still get the same errors. however, everything seems to work over wifi.
I was using NRG's maxsense from june 12 when this problem started yesterday, have flashed to the june 26 cookie ROM from NRG and the problem persists.
I have also tried a few different apn's for tmous as well as turning off 3g.
using only EDGE seems to alleviate this issue.
any help would be appreciated.
does restarting the 3g connection work at all? this is a problem with at&t periodically, resetting usually but not always works. when it doesn't I call tech support and the very act of them looking at my account seems to fix the problem.
Hi
I've had a weird issue crop up this morning. When I woke up I checked my phone like I usually do and I had data connection on 3G but when I opened the web browser its showing 'Web page not available' like it does when I have no connection.
Everything was working fine last night. I though maybe it was the cell tower as I had an issue a few weeks ago of terrible connection so waited till I got to work to try again. Same thing. Web pages not coming up. Now my apps seem to have limited access to the data and are half loading things up. I know data is being accessed somewhere as I have 3G Watchdog and I can see the amount of data used increasing yet cant get any of my web browsers to work.
This isn't only limited to 3G as I've just connected to the wifi at work and still have the same issue.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Oh and phone is rooted too if that makes any difference and I've not downloaded any new apps in the last couple days or updated any of them either :/
Hello everyone,
I have flashed several ROMs already and my unit works perfectly. I did notice when i left the house (wifi), i was no data connection on my phone when using 3G connection only.. all the settings are correct like the APN, i tried several browser too. However when i enable the tethering, my tablet works perfectly
My phone can tethering to my tablet (works)
I use WIFI at home, i can surf the internet (so browser works)
when using the phone for browsing using 3G, no data is coming thru.
I hope someone knows the solution for this. I tried searching but found nothing.
