Hi guys,
I tried to connect to the university's Wi-Fi network today. Security WPA / WPA2 / WPA3-Enterprise. When trying to connect to this network and trying to add it manually, the "save" button is dimmed and cannot be clicked. On the previous device and colleagues on other devices do not have such a problem. Has anyone met this or knows how to fix it so that I can connect to this network?

Hi
I have a wifi AP at home, and one at work, Both use WPA-PSK with mac addy auth. SSID Visible cause sh1te WM2003SE OS cant cope with hidden SSID.
Get a whole load of oddities from the XDA IIs. Both SSID's and keys are listed in the wifi setup on the device. What I would expect is that if I switch the device on when I am within range of the AP @ work, it connects to it no fuss, likewise, when I drive home, switch XDA on it connects, no fuss, unfortunately this is not usually the case. The following are in order of likelyness to occur!
Problem 1
Sometimes I switch it on, and it sits there searching for eons, never finds AP. If I disable and then re-enable wifi on the XDA then it connects.
Problem 2
Sometimes, the XDA will tell me that its connected to my home network when I am at work - it isn't!
Problem 3
Sometimes I switch it on, it connects to the AP, but no net connectivity - looking. Using PPC Ipconfig, I see that device never managed to get an IP addy. Stop, start wifi problem resolves
Problem 3
Occasionally, the PPC forgets the shared secret, and I have to re-input it, start/stop wifi before it will connect to the AP
Problem 4
Sometimes, it just BLUNTLY REFUSES to connect to the AP if I do the above. In this case I try all the above with a soft reset as well. If that fails then I need remove all the wifi AP's, soft reset, wait (ages) for it to see a new AP, enter the PSK then it will connect.
It also struggles to connect to other APs (wifi hotspots). Things work a whole lot better when there is just one AP involved (i,e not work and home).
Prob 4 occurs once/week, prob 1 occurs every day, others somewhere between. All problems are of course COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE for a product that has been released to the consumer.

Hello Veledron,
I've a similar problem: at our company WLAN is set up to reqire WPA and authentication with user certificates. Since it is not possible to import user certificates in Windows Mobile 2003 SE "out of the box" I found out how to do that - it is described here
http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/crtimprt.html
a little bit difficould procedure, but it worked - I can see my personal company certificate in the private-certificate store of my MDAIII.
The problem is, that I can't get a connection. WLAN-Manager says "connected", but I can't receive an IP-address - and in the logs of our Cisco-APs I can't see anything from my PDA. What also is a little bit strange for me: the MDAIII does not remember the setting "authentication with certificates", it always switches to "authentication using PEAP"...
any idea?
thanks
Gerald
Hi Veledron & gekap
I too have similiar problem with my netgear router at home. It seems that everytime it connect to the network it will just keep scanning eventhough it prompt that it already connected. It been 2 days and still i cannot manage to connect
Hopefully there is a solution to this problem.

There is.... Turn off AP, or move device to location where it is out of range, remove all WiFi profiles from device, hard reset, turn on router. wait (ages) for device to realize that there is a wifi ap nearby, enter PSK, all is well.
There seems to be no pattern to the WiFi failures, I have to do the above maybe twice a week to get it to connect. When the device gets itsself into a poor state this is the only way.
You cant delete an active profile, and the profile list only appears when wifi is turned on (stupid!) hence the need to turn off the AP.

Hi Guys,
I manage to solve my wifi problem,
i just add the XDA IIs mac address to my netgear router plus assigned a reserve ip address based on it mac address and was able to connect successfully with no problem. Hope this solution helps.

Hi,
thanks for the tips, but all of them are not a solution for me. I do not have any problems connecting to WLANs using WEP or to unencrypted WLANs, but i guess that there are problems with WPA in the PDA2K. I think the guys of you who have succussful connected to a WLAN using WPA have done that using WPA-PSK, not WPA with TKIP as encryption-method and PEAP or certificates as authentication method over 802.1x.
In our company TKIP is mandatory, and it is necessary to use certificates for authentication - this can be done with either EAP-TLS (so called "smartcard or certificate" in the setup-menu of the PDA-2k) or using PEAP. I've troubleshooted this a lot, and I can't see any authentication packet coming to our Cisco-APs from the PDA2K using this methods (I've turned on advanced logging on the APs to see any little bit...).
I fear the worst, that the WLAN-driver of the PDA2K does not support TKIP! Of course WPA is supportet from Windows 2003 Mobile SE, but in my opinion that is not enough - the card driver down the OS must also support the whole WPA-Standard, and it seems to me that the PDA2K driver does only support WPA-PSK. I found an article which can be an explanation of the problem:
http://www.socketforum.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2924
So I've 2 questions to you:
.) which driver version is installed on your PDA2Ks? (you can find that in the registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Drivers\Wavedev - I've: Common: 0.04.01, Device: 1.06.01 GER, DriverVersion: 0.08.00, Patch: 1.00)
.) has anyone of you ever connected to a WLAN using WPA (not WPA-PSK!)?
thanks

Hey
I just got this phone.
Anyways, thought it'd be great to connect to my home internet.
We have an Airport Base Station. It's passworded with WPA Personal.
Anyway, it goes to connect, says I need a network key. I type the password in and it fails to connect. I figure I need to set it to WPA.
I go to configure and then click my router in the list.
In 'General' Tab I've got it as 'connects to the internet'.
In Network key I'm pretty sure i've tried them all. Some settings has the network key grayed out. Other settings I type it in, click ok and it INSTANTLY says the network key isnt correct. Wouldn't it need a moment to verify with the router if I'm typing the right password?????
Anyway I think I've tried all combos. Then when I click my router and hit connect, it says connecting for a moment, then goes back to available.
Any ideas?
I did a hard reset. I havent updated the ROMs or anything yet... would that be wise?
Cheers
bt home hub2 connects but no net
I am wirelessly connected to our BT homehub2 network, but cannot use internet explorer, all the wpa, channel, passkey's etc are the same?
O2xda2s on T-mob rom 2003 2GbSD - Pre-pay O2sim
Last I checked, the angel only supports 802.11B, not G.
No G = no WPA, only WEP.
hmmm
but it has WPA settings in the network key tab?
also it refers to it as 802.11X I think?
ok guys do not confuse encryption with network speed, personally i use in my BA and router with setup WPA PSK (Personal Key) with TKIP encryption, secure and compatible solution
if encrypption is WPA2 the BA will not connect

Shows how long it's been since I updated my angel then, I was not aware that a WPA stack had been added to the available ROM's.
I can't connect to my university's wifi network (eduroam, PAE). Although I use the exact same settings and certificates as my notebook and also compared it to other android users, there is just no way to connect sucessfully: "Authentification failed"
Has anyone managed to do so?

I have no problems connecting to eduroam network. I use TTLS on the first step and PAP on the second verification step. Don't know if every eduroam network is the same though, but in the Netherlands, it works.
Hmm, thank you. Do you also have the strange behaviour that the 2nd pass authentification is reseted when reentering the network configuration?
I read that there was such a strange behaviour back with gingerbread and some accesspoints, but that should already have been fixed in anroid 4?
Is there a script or app or ROM that will enable Ad hoc network connectivity with WEP security?
In my classroom I have a mac sharing its wired connection over its wireless card - instant wi-fi. Until recently it has been unsecured and I connected my phone to the network via wi-fi.
Recently I've had to add a WEP password as students have discovered the SID. Now my Samsung won't connect. It sees it just fine but won't connect even with the password.
Please Advise how to make the connection.
Thx.
Aww man! No help on this?
To recap - I can see and join ad hoc wifi network when there is no WEP security in place. When I add a password then I can see the network and try to join the network, but when I enter the password nothing happens. It thinks for a while and then it disconnects.
Any solutions? Or recommendations about what would be the correct forum to ask in?
Sounds weird, as our phones don't normally support connecting to ad-hoc WiFi at all. The only ROM that does support it as far as I know is Alien ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376482
I'm not sure how you managed to connect to ad-hoc in the first place, and if it's not ad-hoc then it should already support WEP out of the box.
I'm using the GingerSnap ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1418293
FiveOhFox, the dev, doesn't mention anything about adding this functionality but I've used it every day (Until I added the WEP and password).
Maybe I'm using the term adhoc incorrectly. This is a Mac, wired to our network via CAT-5 whose wireless card has had internet sharing turned on. This broadcasts a SID and allows wireless clients to share its internet connection - with our without WEP.
Hi there.
I hope, I am in the right forum ...
Since a few days I have issues with my WiFi connections. I tried to
reboot
shutdown and restart
reset network settings
used different WiFis (but from the same router)
Other WiFi devices in my network have no issues. What I was changing in the last days was, that I added a repeater to the mesh WiFi. But even when I am not connected to the repeater but directly to my router (which is AVM FritzBox 6591 cable - Germany), it drops the connection. To be more precise, it says "Connected without internet".
Any ideas maybe...?
Thanks in advance!
As solution to this strange behaviour I found that connection added with QR code works fine. The QR code scanned network has the exact same settings than the manually added, but stays connected stable *hummm
maybe this can help someone later..
thanks anyway
