hy, last week I've bought an unbranded Qtek 9100. I flashed it with the latest Mr. Clean ROM, works without problems, the only thing is that i can't use the wifi anymore. My phone can't find my network or it can't connect. With the older firmware there was no problem. I've tried several things such as unsecured wlan etc but it will not work anymore. Even to downgrade the firm isn't possible.
Any suggestions???
Same
The same thing has happened to me. I have a Belkin WiFi router and with this ROM it sees the router but cannot connect to it.
Wireless LAN Configuration
For those having problems with their Wireless Home Networks with or without the ROM update, here are the instructions. Loads of the ones on the Internet are not very clear. Try those first If you like otherwise try this, I tried to make it easy I hope.…
Wireless LAN Configuration
Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections Icon
Select Advanced Tab -> Select Networks
Change the first dropdown to My Work Network
Change the second dropdown to T-Mobile GPRS
Click Edit on the My Work Network dropdown -> Proxy Settings Tab
Check the first box (This network connects to the internet), but NOT the second (This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet)
Now do the same for the T-Mobile GRPS settings in the edit menu, only check both boxes this time. For UK type in 216.155.165.50 as the proxy server.
In ZoneAlarm… (or other firewall I guess)
Allow 169.254.0.0 / 255.255.255.0 as Trusted Subnet
Allow 169.254.2.0 / 255.255.255.0 as Trusted Network
For ActiveSync make sure all its 4 exes have full access to Internet, act as Server and send mail are all ticked.
All should be working ok now.
Got the same problem... Yet only WPA-protected networks fail - unsecured works fine. No luck with twiddling the settings your way or any other.

I have a wireless network from which I can use two laptops to access the internet. I am able to access some web sites from my xdaIIi when it is connected with my laptop, but it tries to use GPRS to connect. All I want to do is use the xda to surf while both laptops are being used. I can connect to the network. Please will someone tell me All of the settings required for internet access.
Really appreciate any help.
Wifi the simplest to do.
I really dont know what the fuss about connecting via wifi is all about.
I am by no means a technical person on such issues but here I have tried to explain step by step to get wifi on XDA 2i & the laptop.
PLEASE DONT TURN ON THE WIFI until the steps are completed
Step 1
Click Start -> Settings -> Connections tab -> Connections -> Advanced Tab -
Select Networks -> Select MY WORK NETWORK for both (from the drop down menu) -> OK -> OK.
Step 2
This is the most important part & most people I feel get confused here becuase of some numbers involved.
Click Start -> Settings -> Network Cards -> My network card connects to: The Internet (from drop down menu) - click tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet -> Use specific IP ADDRESS
IP ADDRESS : 192.168.X.xx -> X is mostly 0 or 1 (check in the laptop),xx= any number other than the one in your laptop
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.X.1 -> X = 0 or 1
-> Click Name Servers tab
DNS : 192.168.X.1 -> SAME AS DEFAULT GATEWAY
ALT DNS : CHECK LAPTOP,put in the same numbers (not necessary to fill)
WINS : 192.168.X.1 -> SAME AS DNS & DEFAULT GATEWAY
Here is my settings in INDIA.
LAPTOP XDA 2i
IP ADDRESS : 192.168.1.32 IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.33
Subnet Mask :255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Default Gateway:192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1 DNS: 192.168.1.1
ALT DNS
WINS :192.168.1.1 WINS :192.168.1.1
Please remember these are the settings for India .I think 192.168 is common through the world I guess ,only the last two numbers are different,i dont know
STEP 3
Click Start -> Settings -> WLAN -> turn on by clicking the [w] in the bottom
voila!!! (I HOPE ) Connected to NETWORK appears in STATUS.If you are using a WEP key on the laptop ,use the same key on the XDA 2i when prompted.
(If the network connection doesnt appear as connected in status)
Below the Main,Settings,LEAP tab there are 2 icons - PDA & W
click on the PDA icon
Configure Wireless Networks appears under which find your network & click on that
Network Name :
Connects to : WORK
Click Network key tab
Authentication : OPEN,SHARED among other choices in the drop down menu.(If you dont know then look it up in the laptop under wireless connections )
Data Encryption : WEP (MOSTLY)
(unselect the key is provided automatically if it is ticked)
Network key : ********(The WEP key as you enter in the laptop)
Key Index : 1
click 802.1x tab
Tick the selection & select PEAP from dropdown menu.
OK ->OK -> OK
FINALLY
CLICK START -> Programmes -> Internet explorer -> HAPPY SURFING
P.S - Must agree easy to do but tough to explain .
Nicely explain by nannlp
For me, just follow the Step 1 and after that turn ON the WIFI and get connected....
Most of the time, leaving your wireless adapter settings configured for DHCP will work fine - you just make sure your wireless profiles are set to connect to the Internet (when it finds a new network, it shows the box "which does this connect to?" and you have the choice of Work or Internet) and it should work fine, provided you don't have any hardware issues.
You can have hardware issues, though; my Alpine can't connect to some wifi routers (such as the wifi-enabled Thomson SpeedTouch 780WL modem/router which my ISP gave me, and which I HAVE to use to access the Internet at home) - it'll connect to my Linksys router fine, but that has no modem in it (I'm using it as a wireless repeater) but it just passes all traffic to the SpeedTouch anyway, so the SpeedTouch assigns IP addresses and does all the configuration work when new devices connect, and I've had problem elsewhere too - the device either doesn't connect at all, or it connects but then just goes round and round in circles not connecting properly.
It's a pain in the arse, and it's definitely a hardware fault (I've tried Hitchhiker and various other apps to try and make the device connect, and I can only get as far as "assigning an IP address" and it falls over). My new Hermes works fine on everything though, so I assume it's a definite hardware flaw.

repeat the first part to turn off wifi ad save your battery.
this is how u use hotspots, just hunt out the best connection.

I have been reading WiFi threads on here for hours but can't seem to find the right answer.
I have a WiFi network at home that I can connect to when enabling Wi-Fi through the Comm Manager. My Wizard is running Xelencin's T-Mobile USA 2.26 Custom ROM (Wizard/MDA).
The problem is, when I'm at home and fire up Pocket IE, the phone tries to connect using GPRS rather than my WiFi connection. What I want is for Pocket IE to use WiFi when I'm connected to WiFi, and GPRS at other times.
Many posts reference going to Start > Settings >Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks, and changing the settings for "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet..." to either "My ISP" or "My Work Network".
I have 4 items listed in these drop-downs:
My ISP
T-Mobile Data
T-Mobile MMS
My Work Network
When I look at the settings for "My ISP" there is one connection defined called "T-Mobile WModem Link" that is set to use the modem "Cellular Line (GPRS) and access point name "wap.voicestream.com"
The settings for "My Work Network" don't show a connection listed at all. If I create a new one, my options for selecting a "modem" are:
Bluetooth
Cellular Line
Cellular Line (GPRS)
Generic IrDA
Hayes Compatible on COM1:
None of these seems to be right for a WiFi connection.
The settings for "T-Mobile Data" are the same as the settings for My ISP except the connection is called "T-Mobile Data"
The settings for "T-Mobile MMS" are also the same (GPRS and wap.voicestream.com).
It seems like T-Mobile is blocking me from using Wi-Fi as the default internet connection. I really like this ROM and would prefer not to change it. Can anyone help?
with my Wizard as long as i'm connected to a wifi network (and i have an IP address and gateway from that network) it will browse with it... only when i'm not on any network connected to the internet (including via USB Active sync) does it connect using gprs. The "My ISP" conenction is configured for my GPRS Network.
Somehting i can suggest is that you open Network Adapters, select your WLAN Wireless Adapter and choose "this network card connect me to The Internet"
good luck!
PS make sure the wifi network your conecting has a shared internet connection... if its not shared your phone will use GPRS even if its connected.

I have no problem browsing with Wifi. My wireless connection isnt the issue. My problem is not being able to make Wi-Fi, my default internet connection.
I think this works
I think this is the thread that solved it for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=261438&highlight=internet+wifi+gprs
To be fair, I usually have to try a couple of settings to get it to work automatically, but eventually I do.
No luck for me. I think I'm just going to have to learn how to cook a custom extended rom without the "T-Mobile_Network_Customizations.cab", and then hard reset. Is there a simple way to delete that cab file from the extended rom and also make that change to the "Config.txt" file (in the extended rom)? Anytime I try making changes to the extended rom via Total Commander, all the files in the extended rom end up looking garbled.
Hi there,
I am new here but I am not new to forums so am a semi-n00b!! I have been searching around for an answer and there seem to be lots of people asking the question but no answers to it...
Is it possible to set up a WiFi proxy on the TyTN 2? I know it is possible to set up a proxy for gprs etc etc but there are no options for a proxy on WiFi. My school uses a proxy but I cannot find the options anywhere to allow me to configure the phone to do it!
Anyone got the answer to this annoying issue?
Thanks,
Will
Yes - in wifi settings, change the network adapter to connect to "work", then in connection settings, set "network that connects a pirvate network" to connect to work and edit work to add the proxy
I have changed the network adapter to work (settings > connections > wifi > network adapters) but when you say connection settings do you mean settings > connections > connections? as in this I do not see any options to connect it to work.. Or am I missing something obvious?
Does it make a difference that this is the Vodafone V1615?
Thanks,
Will
I have the same question. In the settings to set up the proxy, you have to choose Bluetooth, Cellular Line, Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G), or Hayes Compatible on COM1. Then it wants you to enter a phone number.
If I change the Wifi settings to connect to work it stops working.
oh, if I put cellular line it lets me put in the info. I think that might have worked. I will have to try it when I am connected at home. Now, is there any way to use the proxy just for email? I.e. I have to be connected via a VPN to my school in order to get my email on thunderbird.
Bumping up an old topic but my work LAN connects through a proxy server and I can't seem to get it to work.
I added the proxy info under "Work" for my Connection settings and in "WIFI", I chose "connects to Work" but it still doesn't allow me to access the internet.
I just got the data plan and have yet to be able to connect to it? I've tried messing with the KaiserTweak settings. I have data connections enabled. I also enabled leave connection always on but that gave me the connection is not active icon. When I disable that function all I get at the top of the screen is an "H". What do the settings need to be in order to get the data connection properly functioning? I've yet to see the connection is active icon up top.
Update
I am able to update the weather on the HTC home page I'm using by enabling the data connection on all the time but the browsers still do not connect. I also don't see the active data connection icon.
did you uncheck proxy ? if not , do so
Proxy is already unchecked.
You do have a data connection the H means = HSDPA
(Like a 3G connection but faster)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSDPA
Also try refreshing your settings (This works for me... and it's annoying!)
Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>Manage my existing connections.
Then "Next" thru all the settings until you get to the end. Press Finish. The data connection drops and the re-establishes.
See if your browser then works.
When I follow that path under connections I don't see a manage my connections option. All I see is "My work network" with 3 options under that. Add Modem, add vpn server and set up proxy.
Try this
Try these files. I use them whenever I flash a new rom and haven't had any trouble connecting since then.
One has all the medianet/isp settings and the other is for mms. I know you didn't say you have a problem with mms, but just in case
Just run and reset and everything should work.
Thanks, I'll have to try those when I get home. The browsers do connect to Wifi with no issues. Could there be a conflict with that? When there is wifi connection available which connection will it grab onto? Wifi of MediaNet? Those files won't affect the current wifi settings used to connect will it?

I've never had them interfere with WiFi since I use WiFi at home and MediaNet at work.
The settings cab is a pretty simple cab, it really just fills out all the information in the boxes to set up the connections but it saves a lot of time and gets everything right, for me at least, in one shot.
Let me know how it goes.
I tried those cabs and I still can't get any of the browsers to work. Nor my email. I keep getting a connect connect message. Anyone know the proper settings to get the browsers to work? However the weather is able to update on my HTC home page.
i dont nknow if youve tried this but everytime i flash a new rom i have to do this or ill have the same problem.. in your connections settings go through the meus until you find this device connects to: and by default it should say the internet.. but you have to select media net (att right?) cus thats the only way apparently media net is not the same as the internet!
ex: go to setings > connections > connections (icon) > advanced > select networks > "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using: and itll probably be set to my isp and you ewant it on MEdia net
Hi,
I have ADSL modem, and I am trying to connect to the modem (via WiFi) and use internet on my HTC VIVA.
My internet connection requires authentication in order to connect. I can successfully connect to modem using Wifi connection. In order to connection to Internet, I added new VPN server from settings > Connections > Edit my VPN servers. I added all the credentials as provided by my ISP, however I am not able to connect to internet and access web pages from the Internet explorer of my device.
Please help me and let me know where I am going wrong?
Thanks,
You don't have to set your authentication data in your Viva.
All you need to do is connect to your ADSL modem using WiFi and start browsing the web. It should work correctly unless your ISP requires a proxy server.
Tell us what happens.
Hi GFX,
Thanks for replying. I connected to ADSL using WiFi, but when I open Internet explorer I get page not found.
When I was in US, I was able to access Internet as per your reply. But now I am in India and I am not able to access Internet.
Some of the differences that might help you or any other who would like to contribute
USA India
====== =======
ISP Comcast BSNL
Authentication WPA2-PSK Open
Data Encryption AES WEP
Thanks,
I'm not sure what's causing this.
Probably your ISP requires a proxy server. Can you connect to the internet using your PC??
The other thing is, your ISP has nothing to do with your ADSL modem authentication and data encryption modes! You can set these settings manually according to your personal needs. Read your ADSL modem user manual for more information.
A WPA2 authentication is recommended so you can protect your modem & internet connection from outsiders and hackers.
Check your ISP's website to see if they require a proxy server. And tell us about your ADSL modem brand and model so we can help you.
My ISP does not require proxy server, and I can connect to Internet using my PC. I am able to connect to my ADSL modem but somehow I am not able to connect to Internet.
Following are the details of my ADSL modem
Brand: Huawei
Model: WA1003A
Its an ADSL router.
Thanks,
OK, please check the following settings in your device:
1- Goto Start-> Settings -> Connections -> Connections-> Advanced tab-> tap on "Select Networks", and check that the first dropdown menu says "My ISP".
2- Goto Start-> Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi -> Network Adapters tab, and check that the first dropdown menu says "The Internet".
If you made any changes to the above settings, try to reconnect to the modem once again, it may work this time.
However, if you left the above settings unchanged then your problem lies somewhere else. Check if you can access the internet using Opera Mini, or try connecting to another router. Because we need to determine the source of the problem.
Good luck.
have you simply tried connecting via wifi with default settings?
when you switch on wifi, once the network is detected, you can feed in the values then right? sorry if this seems like a stupid answer but we often miss whats right under our noses,
Sorry for replying so late, was busy with lots of work for some time.
GFX: My connection settings are same as you mentioned. But even with these settings in place, no success.
karthiksk: I get connected to WiFi network, but after this I don't get any popup box in my device to enter the details.
Guys, however I got the solution, since my network uses PPoE, I had to configure these settings in my Modem. Earlier I was entering ISP credentials in an external PPPoE client on my PC, this way I can access Internet with only one PC at a time and WiFi was also not working.
I entered ISP credentials in my modem and configured PPoE settings. Now I can connect my PC (using Ethernet cable), my laptop using WiFi and my HTC device using WiFi at the same time.
Thank you all for helping me in trying to resolve this issue.
Good to see your problem solved.
Turns out it has nothing to do with your device!
Enjoy your Viva, it's a wonderful device.

Dear Vijay,
I am facing the same problem to connect my E61 handset to BSNL Huwaei modem. Can you give me the steps to configure the same.
I can connect to the modem, just let me know what configuration changes are to be made to enable access from mobile phone.

This is a Windows Mobile and HTC VIVA forum, it is highly unlikely that you will get your solution here. and it is unsafe to post you mobile number.
I'm facing the same problem..it's not the ISP or modem..it's only & only viva...
It sucks badly...I purchased two different modem router..one of netgaer and other one of linksys...and the didn't work on both of them...wifi only works with the modem ZTE ZXDSL 531B
**** off viva...
