Hi,
I had XDAIIi WiFi working fine on my home network until last week but it stopped being able to connect to the internet or download e-mails even though it showed connected with a good signal.
The icon at the top showed that it was still trying to connect, so I configured the tiacxwin adapter with a fixed IP address to connect to the internet. Now the icon shows that WiFi is fully connected but I still can't download web or mail.
Any ideas?

Oh yeah, I forgot to say the Netgear router admin screen on my PC shows that my two PCs are connected but the XDA doesn't. Should it?
When I try to download mails it says 'Unable to connect to the incoming mail server...etc." Used to work like a dream.
Oh yes and what is that list of Network adapters about? Are they all installed? Or Just a list of ones you might have?
Had a similar issue with a different WiFi PDA not connecting to the access point, the other PDAs i have to hand would connect fine just not my HTC Trinity, yes i know its not an alpine - that did connect just fine, a reboot of the access point cured it perfectly and now everything connects just fine.
OK.
The PDA now shows up as a connected device on the router but is still unable to find mail servers and is very erratic at finding websites.

Actually, I think that has helped for the Internet access at least.
Now the only problem is downloading emails. Still getting 'Unable to connect to the incoming mail server...etc." GPRS is OK.
I had this problem when I first used WiFi at a University last year but it was resolved when I first logged on to my Home Network a few months ago.
Now it's gone again.
Sigh.

This is probably a very specific issue that I'm experiencing but hopefully someone out there can help me.
I recently got an HTC Touch Diamond, running WM6.1. I use Internet Sharing on the phone and then connect it to my PC via a USB cable. I can then browse the web from my PC. If I now connect to my office VPN, it seems that the connection times out and / or is very slow. I can't even browse to other PC's on the network via the VPN connection as it times out. But I can ping the PC's so I know I'm definatly on the network.
Now I know what everyone is thinking... our VPN might be screwy. But if I use someone else in the office's phone (running WM6.0) I can connect and there is no problem whatsoever. The only difference is that he is on a different service provider than me (and of course a different phone).
I used to have a SE M600i before this phone and it worked perfectly on that (same service provider as now).
Has anyone experienced anything simular? Or have any ideas what I could check?
I've played around abit and found the following: When I take my SIM card and put it into another HTC running WM6.0 (can't remember the model) it works perfectly and I can browse our intranet sites over the VPN. So the problem is definatly limited to my phone.
I also used Internet Sharing on the other phone and then established the VPN connection from my laptop. I didn't change any of the settings so it is 100% the same on both phones as download from the service provider upon insertion of the SIM card.
On my phone when I'm connected to the VPN I can browse the network shares and download email, but as soon as I try and browse our intranet websites or try to connect to any database (using TOAD etc.) it doesn't seem to be able to retrieve data. Almost like the phone is not able to handle large amounts of data coming through... (i'm just guessing here)
Anyone know of any setting somewhere on the phone that could cause this to happen?
Finally got this working!!
I'm now using WMWiFiRouter to use my phone as a WiFi router and then connect to the internet from my pc. If I then connect to the VPN from my PC everything works fine.
I'm not sure if WMWiFiRouter implements Internet Connection Sharing differently than the normal ICS app on the phone, but it seems to work and it's pretty fast.
Can't believe it took two months - with absolutely no else seeming to have this issue - but I'm glad it's over now!!

Hi,
I have just got the Diamond and I have two main problem.
1) Although I have connected the Diamond to my Home wireless network, there is no data transfer. Opera can not open pages, Youtube can not start even I can not update weather?
2) When I connect the Diamond to the Laptop / PC, all PC's and Laptops connected to my home network (wireless) drop from the connection and never connect again?
Thank you for your kind help...
I have same problem with my Diamond.
1) go to: startmenu->settings->connections->Wi-Fi->networkcard/adapter->and make sure that it says "my networkcard/adapter connects to internet"Also at the same tab open IEEE 802.11b/g Compitable Wi-Fi Adapter and try to a static ip matching the one your pc uses. (not sure about it since i can't recreate the problem atm..)
2) Try the thing I suggested in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417664 (plz use search next time)

Thanks for your reply, but both of solutions do not work for me...
Any other suggestion?
Thanks for your help..
Try turning on wifi, then go in LAN WIRELESS and change in "improved performance"
All of this do not work for me too...
Go to Wireless LAN settings and there to power mode and set yo best battery.... that worked for me.
in "settings => connections => WiFi" is "Connected". In "Wireless Lan" there is Connected too... In log on my router there is MAC adress of Diamond as associated and authorized. All seems OK. But on Diamond do not work any internet connection (Weather, web, etc...). With Active Sync works fine. Laptop with the same settings works fine. But Diamond with WiFi... no way :-(
Any other suggestions?
Same problem after i made ROM update from 1.7... to 1.93. before works fine. no other software is istalled.
Been having an issue with connecting to my wireless network also for the last week. My phone is from orange in the UK. My wireless router is an Dlink 614+ on Virgin cable broadband.
The Diamond would connect intermittantly but then say 'not avaiable' after a period of time, or when trying to reconnect after diasbling/enabling wi-fi in the comms manager. Also, after restarting my router the device would connect for a while but not seem to 'hold' it's connection.
When the device was 'connected' I could not get opera/youtube to load a page, even though I could see the diamond in my router's log showing it connected with a leased ip address. What made it so annoying was that every other wireless mobile device/laptop I have owned has connected without any problem at all, leading me to beleive there was a problem with the phone. Again, this was rather frustrating as the phone was detecting avaliable networks but just not 'holding' the connection nor 'using' the connection in opera/explorer etc.
After searching on xda-developers and other forums for a possible known issue, I tried all the various suggestions including;
i/ increasing to best performance under power mode in Wireless LAN settings
ii/ Hard reset of router (even though other wireless devices were connected fine)
iii/ trying static rather than dynamic ip for my diamond in router settings
iv/ disabling any security/encryption on my router
v/ entering DNS settings in manually into my diamond
vi/ changing 'connect to' under wi-fi neteorks to 'Work' rather than 'the internet'
vii/ tried various roms
and other suggestions I had read about - all which didn't make a difference!
I was about to send the diamond back to Orange (here in the UK) but decided to give it one last go and change my router. I bought a Netgear WGT624 for 25 quid from PC today world and my diamond connected
straight away without an issue, and opera/youtube/messager all connected straight away to the internet. I have not lost connection once. So thats how I resolved it - obviously my device did not like 802.11b (on the original dlink router) even though all previous smartphones have connected fine and the diamond's wireless adapter is labelled b/g.
Hope that stops anyone wasting a week like I did, I would try it out on another router before making any decisions because the chip in the diamond seems a lot more picky to what it connects to than anything I've used in the past!
cheers
Linksys WAG54 is OK, Freebox is not perfect
It really seems to depend on the WiFi router.
I've had probems with my French Freebox (my ISP's ADSL+wifi router) using WPA2 AES. It would work fine, for half an hour maybe, then it would stop. It says it's connected but there is no data transfer. You can switch WLAN off and on, soft reset the phone... nothing will do. Then it will work again later on.
I downgraded encryption to TKIP and i experienced the same problem.
But then I've tried my old Linksys WAG54G router, using the exact same encryption protocol and key and it works perfectly (for hours)!
I've also tested free access (Paris public Wifi, Mc Donald's...) and they work fine.
As my ISP wifi box does not let me have a look at all the settings (beacon time, etc.) it is very difficult to tell what makes it not-so-compatible with my Diamond... But there must be something.
Hey,
i was using ICS on my Laptop the past 4 month. Everything worked pretty fine since yesterday. I used the USB cable and got a working LAN4-Connection with the ICS-Software. But instead of surfing, my firefox said: "Not found ...". Even ping didnt worked. "ipconfig" said i have a valid IP and all other connections were disabled. The device itself said "connected". HSDPA worked well on the device itself in Opera, but i wasnt able to get any data on my laptop. I disabled my firewall but it wasnt working. Im using windows xp ...
any ideas?
regards
MoDeM
no solution?
obviously its not an kaiser-problem because it works on my PC but not on my Notebook ...
any ideas?
It can be a lot of things. Start by checking the Kaiser's USB network IF IP address with internet sharing on and connected, and verify that no network card on the PC is using the same subnet. Also check that the PC is set to get IP address automatically on the "windows mobile internet sharing device" connection.
Internet sharing with Kaiser
I have the same problem with my laptop and Kaiser. When I try with the Diamond of my wife its working, but with the Kaiser, using now RomEos 4.6, he get connection but can not find anything.
Specifically, my D-Link Wireless N 150 Router
I was able to get by the opening screen by connecting with my neighbor's open wifi.
With my own, I input the correct password, and it showed "Connecting" for 3 seconds, then just ignores it and says "Saved"
This is frustrating, as my laptop and HTC Desire S works perfectly fine. What can I do? I even reset the router to have no password, and it still doesn't work. It stops trying to connect and just says "Saved"
sigh.. nothing I try works.
So now my laptop is connected to my WIFI
my phone is connect to internet via USB to my laptop
and my Nexus 7 is connected to the hotspot created by my phone -_____-
The only WIFI it won't connect to is my own. This is ridiculous
What security settings are you using, encoding on your access point.
I tested a lot of access points at the house and have not had issues with any of them.

Also, have you just simply rebooted your router. Since it connects to others without issue.
Even though your laptop connects, it already had that connection. And the router may not want to give out another address via dhcp.. Just try unplugging router, and plugging it back in and then reconnect. Stupid as it sounds.

I had a similar issue, mine would tether to my phone but not connect to my home wifi. It would show as "connecting" then would say "saved". I hit the reset button on my router and it connected with no problem after that, might want to give that a shot and see if it works. The rest button on my router was on the back and needed a paperclip to push it.
Try WPS if you have it.
Ok, disregard this thread, I'm a fool :silly:
Even after disabling the password I still couldn't connect. While I was showering just now, I remembered why:
2 months ago my neighbors were stealing my WIFI.. so i specifically only allowed the IP of my laptop and phone.
No wonder why it could not connect at all even without password
Sorry for the new thread guys. Just got my Nexus 7 for a few hours, and it's perfect. The left side of the screen is raised a little, but I can ignore it just fine. The screen has no dead pixels and I'm happy with it.
Thanks all!
Good to know it was something simple. Might want to change the OP subject to Solved.
I have been having issues where i am connected to the wifi but the device stops passing any traffic. I have fing installed and i can't ping any other devices on my network. I know its just my phone because i have my work phone and tablet connected to the wifi and they still work fine browsing webpages, watching movies etc while the droid turbo can no longer communicate with the local lan or out to the internet. If i switch the wifi off then on again it will reconnect and then work normally. I can then ping devices on the local lan and access pages on the internet. This has happened a number of times now since i got the device.
Edit: I just updated the phone and still get the issue. I have a cisco WAP at home, we have cisco WAP's at work which i will test tomorrow. If this thing still has issues i am just going to swap it out for a Note 4.

I've been seeing issues with Cisco wlans too.
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
so it looks like it works good at work, something with my home cisco ap and this phone as all other devices at home work ok.

Yeah this phone does not seem to like my router for some reason. Keep in mind I'm not a networking expert, but I've tried every combination of options and settings every which way from Sunday and I just can't get the thing to work. When I do connect the phone to my wifi it kills the the connection on every device in the house. At first I though it was just a wireless thing, but even the downstairs computer which is plugged in directly to the router doesn't work. Then as soon as I disconnect the phone every device works again. I thought maybe there was too many devices, so I disconnected all but the downstairs computer, still had the issue when I connected the Turbo. I've tried just turning off the WPA2 and just having an open system, I've tried connecting the phone using a WPS pin (This one actually worked for a good 5 minutes before crapping out and hasn't worked since). On the advanced options of the phone I tried an automatic IP as opposed to the default DHCP setting (This also worked for a good 5 minutes before not working ever again). I've tried limiting it to just one frequency band. I have tried so many different things and I just cannot make this phone work on my router. And I know it's my router because the phone works fine at work.
phone: Droid Turbo
Router : Asus rt-ac66r
yup within ten minutes of getting home, the device no longer passes traffic. My work S5 still works fine at home and so does my samsung tablet. The device worked on wifi all day at work on our enterprise wpa2 network no issues. I tried doing static ip at home, changing to 2.4 ghz, trying new ssid. Not sure what else to do with this thing...
Not just you
I posted a comment on Motorola's forum where people are discussing their wifi issues... And my work around. I currently beleive its a software issue and can be fixed via update. Also, today I found (it appears) that the longer the phone goes without a reboot, the shorter amount of the it appears to go with out needing the wifi card reset.

My work around fix...
First, over night my wifes phone now behaves just like mine. It now connects to wifi and after sometime passes it no longer passes data (but stays connected). I needed a way to auto disable/enable the card... I installed Tasker. I have it set to check every 15 minutes, if the phone is connected to WiFi, to disable then enable the WiFi card. I use WifiMatic to enable the wifi card when the phone is connected to the cellular tower that is near my house. (Doing this by GPS uses more battery power...) Using Tasker with the rule to verify its connected to wifi first helps not enabling wifi if its nit needed and lets WifiMatic enable/disable it as needed.
