Hello!
Just got a unused Dell Venue Pro Windows Phone smartphone(thought about using it as a secondary phone)
and I have problems: the phone doesnt find any secured wifi, it finds my Android phones Hotspot, but it doesnt find my work Wifi.
(I read about this problem, something about not finding secure wifi networks on first batch of phones...) any way to fix it? I really need to get this phone on a wifi network..
I updated the phone trough PC, but the WIFI issue is still there...
and the question: Any custom ROMs or something avaiable? (In hope, that it could fix the Wifi issue)
This post mentioned: Make sure to get all of the WP and firmware updates so you won't have the wifi bug.

Hey guys, I've activated the Froyo Sense wifi hotspot feature, and while my XP laptop can easily see the network and connect, it can't actually receive any data. I've checked the HSPDA on the phone and it's fine; but trying to view a website on my laptop in Firefox when connected just does work, it just keeps saying 'looking for', e.g. 'looking for google.co.uk'. I'm on T-mobile UK in case that's relevant.
Does anyone else have any issues?
Make sure that you have DHCP enabled and also automatic DNS detection. For me (Vista laptop, phone on Vodafone NL) it works fine.
And it may also be that T-Mob is somehow detecting what you are trying & then blocking it...
In the end I ran Windowx Xp network diag repair and that finally seemed to fix it. Weird, never had any issues with any other hotspots I've tried using! Very strange, although I did notice the IP address Froyo gave my laptop was exactly the same that my normal router serves up, maybe this was the issue and Windows just got a bit confused, poor thing...
Hi everyone i just bought my arc yesterday and quite satisfied with the good quality of my phone call but today i experienced a problem is that my Arc can not compatible with the Planet WRT-415 Router .When i connect to this router the wifi icon appeared on my screen but i cannot browse to the webs ,access to the android market or do anything relate to the internet (but others router at coffee shops or public spots are ok) .I also have the iphone 4, the ipod touch and when i connect them to this Planet router everything work just fine. i assume that there is something wrong with my ARC .So could you please help me fix this problem,thank you very much
my ARC info : Model LT15i
Android version :2.3.4
Build number : 4.0.1.A.0.283
I think you need reconfigure your wireless router. you can search this case in Internet.
perhaps you can check the DHCP least time?
the lease that 'never expires' might be the problem:

is your router running in mixed mode? my router was running in bgn mixed mode and none of my android devices connect. when I switched the router to 802.11g only or 802.11n only, all of the android devices connect again.
No my router is only running as g mode because i bought it long time ago about nearly 5-6 years ago so it does not have n mode, my problem is that my arc does not totally incompartible with my router ,sometime it suddently work then i can browse the web and surf the internet with my arc then i try to reconnect it in order to check if it is fixed then it is disconnect again. I feel really upset with my phone ,sorry about my english
Not sure where shall I post my question. Can't find an answer but decided not to create a new post when a wi-fi problem one already exists.
I am trying to connect to WI-Fi in my office but it's WEP encrypted with password.
I got the password to connect to it and everything is working fine apart from internet use. I am connected to wi-fi but with local access only. Can't update email, browse the web or anything like it.
Is it because the Xperia Arc S does not support WEP encryption? Or because I'm doing something wrong?

I do know that Android in general doesn't like WEP.
So in this case the only way to resolve the issue is to ask my company IT guy to change encryption, isnt it?
Are there any applications which could help with the problem or is it some kind of other issue and nothing can be done?

I am using WEP here at home, with no problems at all. I use my Xperia Arc and have an HTC HD Mini running Android from the SD card, both connect via WEP flawlessly.
If you can only view 'local' pages only, it could be that your company use a Proxy Server to filter the webpages you can access while at work. It could also be that the settings for the DNS server are incorrect.
Depending how easily your IT department can be bribed... It may be worth stocking up on beers?
it is not web or wpa the problem is the phone,but sometime i dont know why my phone suddenly work with my PLANET modem, because i used to leave the ARC with wifi on all day at my home sometime it can connect to the internet just like normal.like zombie turn back to life .i found that when i hear the notification ring tone when i receive new gmail at my phone ,so when i hear that tone i know that my phone work with my wifi.when i try to disconnect and reconnect at that time,i cant access to the internet anymore
I have the same issue with my Arc and Neo, and now Tablet S. Seems to be an intrinsic problem of Android. For Arc and Neo, they both worked fine with firmware 2.3.2, and refused to work after upgrade to 2.3.3. Now a further upgrade to 2.3.4 does not help.
Any inspiration? I searched the max possible I could for a solution with the Almighty Google God and tried days after nights to set/reset router/phone/Tablet, and play with settings. No hope. Strange thing to notice:
1/ Can connect for a while, and then drop for no reason. AND, will reconnect after an unknown time ticks;
2/ Cannot have all three SE/S things wifi connecting together to the same router (Mine: Buffalo). Only one at a time. Yet my other NBs/IPad/IPod are still working flawlessly.
3/ All three can connect to certain make of routers: e.g., free wifi in airport/cafe.
So what exactly is happening?
hi guys after 2 weeks finally i found out a solution for my home wifi internet then my android phone now work like champ .so i hope that something im about to write here will help you:
(i have 1 modem adsl named Postef,1 Wifi Access point named Planet WRT415)
here are what i did :
1) change the IP address of Modem to :192.168.1.1
change the IP address of AP to 192.168.1.2
2) change the channel of AP to 9
At the first time my modem and AP have the same IP which is 192.168.1.1 so when i use iphone4 and laptop to browse 192.168.1.1 it logged in to the Modem but my Android phone logged in to the AP so that is the problem ,the android phone can not distinguish if you use the same IP for Modem and AP
Hey Guys,
I just got a Motorola Xoom Tablet and it's not allowing me to use my mobile's hotspot to connect to the internet. I use my phone for everything. It even connects my laptop and all other devices.
My device is on WinMo 6.5 (HTC Tilt 2)
Can anyone help me solve this?
The issue is on your tablet. Android devices by default cannot connect to adhoc (non-infrastructure) networks.
I think with some supplicant hacks, your Xoom would be able to connect to an adhoc network.
The only problem is that the Xoom I have is the Family Edition. The bootloader is unlockable and there is no way around it as of now.
However, the wifi hotspot provided by an Android phone connects to the tablet without a problem. I just tried it on a friend's phone and it worked like a charm.
Would there be a cab/app that can change the mode of the wifi output on my WM phone?
It would suck to upgrade my cell phone just to have this work..

Just use Android then.

AFAIK there's no way in WinMo to put up an infrastructure network. On Android all the third party wifi tethering solutions are adhoc as well, only the built-in wifi tethering app works as an infrastructure network.
Just be warned, the built-in wifi hotspot feature has a tendency to suck wind when you try to disable it. IIRC it works great up until that point.
I'll try this now and see what happens..
Thanks..

Have you had any additional luck?
I am running a TP2 with NRG and I have same issue trying to connect
an EVO View to the TP2.
Before I go changing phones (I like the TP2 for most of my biz stuff), I thought
I would try to find out if maybe you got an easy solution??
Thanks

Just use Android as I suggested as well. It will allow you to put up a native infrastructure AP, which you should be able to connect to on your Evo View.
Or, you can fix the Evo View to access ad-hoc networks. Either way.
Hello all,
As with some other users on this forum, I'm having trouble connecting my N7105 running N7105XXDMC3 (rooted) to some Wifi hotspots (other devices, such as my laptop and tablet connect OK to these networks). I've had a look at some of the proposed solutions on this forum (such as disabling Keep Wifi on during sleep or disabling Check for Internet Service), but they don't seem to work. I've also seen some suggestions that this is a 4.1.2 specific thing, and that reverting back to the 4.1.1 wifi files solves the problem. I've tried that as well by downloading the relevant wifi files from a couple of places (xda, another website), copying them to /etc/wifi and also /etc/dhcpd (changing folder permissions to rwxr-xr-x), rebooting the phone and trying again, but to no avail.
I even tried using Connectify on my laptop to create a wifi hotspot to act as a bridge between the problematic wifi hotspot (hotel) and my Note 2 - although other devices are able to connect to my Connectify hotspot (laptop, tablet), my Note 2 still fails to connect, giving the same error message.
Any thoughts?
Device: HTC on M9 Android 5.1 rooted and this issue tested with more than one custom rom + stock one. (Current ROM > LeeDroid )
device version: International, without locks to my service provider.
Main issue: Wi-Fi tethering hot-spot erratic behavior (Simply shuts down when i am in my car.. this was monitored with tablet and wi-fi monitoring software )
After reading and testing 3+ weeks , using 4 usb wi-fi PC dongles, 2 mini routers and every possible solution from forums and sites..... decided to ask for help here.
The story begins 4 weeks ago when i bought HTC one M9.
In my car i have Windows 7 64 PC (Car pc).
The Car Pc was connected to my previous phone (Galaxy S2 Android 4.2.?) with bluetooth dongle for conversations, and PC was using wi-fi tethering provided by the phone.
With Galaxy S2 there was no problems at all.
With HTC one.. no success.. 3 weeks of installing different android roms, changing PC Wi-Fi adapters, installing and uninstalling drivers, connecting routers and so on.
- My home PC (win 7 64) connects to hot-spot without problems.
- My laptop (win XP 32) connects to hot-spot without problems. ( Probably have to try this in car ? )
- My Tablet connects when i am home, but cannot connect when i am in a car.
- My Car PC doesn't connect. Only a few times the PC was able to see the network, but network disappeared after attempt to connect.
- Restarting does not help. Installing and uninstalling drivers does not help. Changing network settings... no success.
Even with external mini router the network simply disappears when the phone is inside the car.
- All Windows network settings changed one by one.. many times without success.
- Many Android APP's tested without success. (Some of them are doing nothing , some of them like WiFi Tether Router are more advanced but again no success)
- There is no problem with bluetooth connection and bluetooth PAN tethering .
- The phone icon for WI-FI tethering is looking ON .. even when network is not available.
- 3G Network is connected and was approved that is OK by successful bluetooth tethering test .
- The problem is the same with Stock, LeeDroid and Android Revolution roms.
- The problem persists regardless of bluetooth state On or Off.
- Default hotspot names and passwords and so on .. doesn't work.
It seems that i have to log something and provide logs to experts here. But i don't know what to log and how to log it.
I know that "Keep it simple and short" rule of this forums is violated by this post - but i am trying to avoid advises to restart the phone and the PC.
Please help... or delete this post.
Solved.. amazingly
Thanks to this forum - the problem was solved.
Why thanks to this forum ?? Because after writting all this things i was able to read and analyze it again, like if the post was not mine.
Following the logic.. the problem was hidden in car itself. By disconnecting the car battery i found that everything is working fine.
Hmmmm, what in my car can cause this?.. and i remembered that the security system of the car have one special item ... microwave proximity sensor
invisibeam-field-disturbance-sensor by Viper alarm systems
This thing caused interference ... but the problem is : - Why the HTC phone was not tested with signals like this ?. ...Samsung S2 have no problems with it.
The funny part is that i have another sensor .. not branded like this one and there is no problem with hotspot now.
(cannot post links sorry)
It is nice idea to call HTC and Viper and ask them some questions about frequency bands usage and interferences.. .. but i am far far away from USA and Korea .. and there is nothing more i can do, than changing this stupid sensor.
Maybe some day i will chahge the HTC one M9 phone, because he is uncapable of handling interferences of this magnitude ........ but not yet... not yet
