Hey all.. so I work right next door to a Starbucks hotspot location (tmobile states this in there locator). Everytime i turn my wifi on it will show it is available but wont try to connect. When I try manually to connect it will attempt and wont connect. Any advice? Other than wifi, my internet works fine, i can log on to gprs and surf anywhere.
Do you have the Internet Data Package w/Hotspots?
If YES:
If so enable Wifi - goto settings - connections - Network Cards - Add New... - Network Name tmobile - Tick the box The Key is automatically provided - Connect - Goto open IE. Login is your 10 digit # and the last 4 of the primaries ssn. It should allow you on the network.

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 am no longer able to connect to the Internet via my home WiFi network. I am able to WiFi connect to the network without any problems, but when I try to use any application that accesses the Internet the phone looks for a GRPS connection. I do not have a data account attached to my sim as I live in Australia, and as far as that sort of thing go, we are a backwater…
The WiFi connection and access was previously working fine until I tried to disable the GPRS from trying to connect, as this would routinely bring up messages informing me that a GPRS connection could not be made. I do not know what settings I have changed but I cannot seem to reverse the situation.
I have soft reset a number of times, I have re-run the connection wizard, etc my current settings are as follows:
WiFi:
Wireless
Configure Wireless Networks –
.MyWirelessNetwork Connected
Configure Wireless Network-
Network Name: MyWirelessNetwork
Connects By: The Internet

My Work Network
No connections have been set up here
Advanced

Programs that automatically connect to a Private network should connect using: My Work Network

I do not know if this is all the info need to sort this out, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have done allot of customising and I really don't want to have to a Hard Reset. I can connect through all applications, if I am connected by USB.
Thanks
First you need to make sure your connection is set to use My Work Network as first priority. Next you need to make sure that the WiFi connection connects to WORK NOT the INTERNET. probably your problem, did the same thing on my 8125

Hi there,
Can someone please help by advising me on how to overcome this problem.
If I broadcast my SSID, the device connects fine, but when I stop broadcasting, the device will show that the network is unavailable. I did check the "This is a hidden network" checkbox option, in the settings.
Configure Wireless Network-
Network Name: MyWirelessNetwork
Connects By: Work
This is a hidden network: CHECKED

Please help,... many thanks!
Kind regards,

My device is the HTC TyTn II (Kaiser) running Windows Mobile 6 Professional
I just got the TYTN II but I lost my data plan. so I only use the wifi to connect to get the data. The problem is that I went ahead an deleted the connections that was constantly giving me the popup connecting to the 3G. GPRS. popup. I had go.cbw.com as the connection and the connection reffered to the Cellular GPRS, 3G. I deleted the connection completly and my wifi does not connect to the internet even. so I have to have a connection , pointing to
4 options:
Bluetooth
Cellular Line
Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Hayes Compatible on COM1:
I select the Cellular and I constantly get popups saying cannnot connect .
I dismiss, but everytime the EMAIL system check email (SEVEN) it pops up when there is no wifi connection. If I connected to wifi no problem and I get no popup. I tried changing it to hayes comp and it noww pops up the username pwd thing. So how can I have a connection
Actually I have to have two.l
1 for internet
1 for Bluefire VPN
then each connection has to has a modem and that is where I am getting stuck.....
is there a way to have 2 connections, and have a null modem or something etc. so I don't know how to keep the internet working via wifi and not have the popups.
go to Star --> Settings --> connections -->Advanced --> Select Networds
then, you select a connection that has nothing with any conection, just like "my ISP" or "my word network" or create a new conection and give it no modem
I guess it will stop the popups conection you have when trying to connect to the internet.
Morning all,
I just got a touch diamond2, this is my first fone with wifi. a couple of questions!
when i'm at home or whereever and connect through wifi this has no impact on download limits within my fone contract?
Does the fone automatically no to use wifi for the internet connection when one is connected?
my fone doesn't stay connected to my home network, it finds it and connects ok but then a min or so later it says 'not connected, networks available'?
any help appreciated
Cheers
Gazza
Hi,
Using WiFi connections at home will not contribute to your mobile data plan. Wi-Fi data does not go over the cellular networks, and therefore is not part of your contract plan. This also means that you can use VoIP, streaming video, and other services over Wi-Fi, whereas you may not be able to over your mobile data plan.
The phone will not switch automatically between Mobile Data and Wi-Fi. You would need to close the Mobile Data connection, and re-start with Wi-Fi every time you wanted to switch.
Your mobile phone WiFi connection may be entering a power-saving mode when idle; To disable this, download the Advanced Config Tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151 and install it. Open the Advanced Config Tool and look for the Network settings. The bottom two options should be "Turn off Wi-Fi if no activity" and "Wi-Fi Auto off timeout" Change these as appropriate.
Hope this helps!
Hi, here are my answers based on my experience:
1) When connected to a WiFi network (eg. home, work,school etc) your phone operator is not in the position to charge you anything.You'll be charged only if using your operator GPRS,3g etc services. If you want to avoid Operator connections use Nodata.cab or make the right settings in Advanced config or HD Tweak.
2) Once Wifi connection established, it should have the priority on other data connections.
3) Wifi connection stability depends on radio and ROM you're using, my solution is to to set "Maximum Performance" in the Power Management tab under Wifi Settings. Not doing this leads to instable or even "fake" connections: windows says you're connected but no data traffic occur This is the only workaround I know, any other suggestion is super-welcome!
Cheers
When I turn on wifi it's starting to try connecting with the network called bilfinger. It's doing that everywhere I am.
It can't make that connection, but because of that I can't make whatever other connection.
How can I remove bilfinger as a provider / wireless network?
Thanks,
R.
It has connected to an 'ad-hoc' or 'device to device' network,
Each system in this network is a access point and a client ... so I you join such a network and save the settings you may automatically connect to it whenever you have not opted to connect to any other network.
You can connected to this network, because you are broadcasting this network.
to remedy you problem you need to remove the stored settings for the wireless network in Settings > Connections > WiFi
