Connecting to Home Network Problems. Help Needed Please......Perpetually Connecting - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I cannot access any webpages using my tilt I only get the message "cannot connect with current connection settings" no matter what webpage. What exactly am I to change the settings to? I'm using a Linksys Speedboost with WPA2 security. The Tilt is picking up my network so I hit connect. When I look under Settings/Connection/Wifi I see my network but its just says "connecting" all the time. Shouldn't it say "connected"? Then I checked the Wireless LAN I see me network and the signal strength is full. What gives? I've disabled all the ATT data connections with the NoData program. I've also cleared all history and done a soft reset. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I presume you have tried removing from and adding the network to your Kaiser. And I presume you have rebooted your Kaiser and router without any effect?
Were you able to connect to other networks in the past? Have you changed any settings recently that might have caused the problem (by accident)? Have you tried the different power modes?
The problem might not be your Kaiser; it wouldn't be the first time it had something to do with the router itself.
Have you upgraded your router with the latest firmware? Is MAC-filter security enabled?
Just thinking...

Yes I've tried removing and letting the phone find the network again to no avail. I'll try again when I get home. The phone and router have both been rebooted also to no avail. I've never been able to connect. Just got the phone late last week. Not familiar with changing power modes so I haven't tried that. The router does have the latest firmware. I've see a few other networks besides mine listed. Several of them said unavailable and I'm not sure what that means.

Well deleted all the networks to let the phone fin them again. Now it says connected but still will not bring up any web pages.

Sorry to say, but I have no direct solution to your problem. So let's troubleshoot your problem.
Download and run VxUtil. The tool can be found here:
ftp://ftp.cam.com/cambridge/win/vxUtil.zip
Open the .zip file and install "vxUtil.ppc3_arm.CAB" to your Kaiser. Leave the rest of the cabs.
Try to ping your router, other computers on the network and internet sites. See what the results are and if there is a difference between LAN and WAN adresses.
If you own a Tilt, you could also try to remove the hidden proxy. Fix it by installing the folowing .cab found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=71206&d=1203325282
If it wouldn't help, you can restore the proxy here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=71207&d=1203325282
Have you already tried another brower? Like Opera mini? Find it here:
http://www.operamini.com/
Or you could try the 'full' version found here:

Let's hope you find the solution or at least a lead.

The massive wifi problem that many experience

When I turn on my phone at work, the wireless connection (open unsecured) connects and works for a few minutes. After some time, it disconnects and without rebooting my phone, I cannot establish a wlan connection.
This is oly the case at work. At home it works flawlessly, but it is another network kind.
Anyone found a solution to this problem? I saw a lot of threads about this but no good answers.
I am using duttys v3.
Not sure. Perhaps there is some sort of time out on your work network for inactive devices, or dhcp ip releases or something weird and "networky" like that?
Or perhaps your phone is going into a power save mode if you are not using it?
Just general ideas, I don't have this particular problem
I dont think many people have this issue! you must not have a setting correct, try downloading KaiserTweak and adjusting the timeout and also take a look at the routers settings I find it strange that a business would have an open network for security issues

I work at the university, and the network is unsecure. You have to enter login and pass at a webpage to gain access.
I cannot reconnect at all once ive been disconnected. So it should have anything to do with kaisertweak or timeouts.
I have tried every setting and combination. I have tried to select work/internet settings. Ive tried to tell the phone its a hidden network / not hidden network. I have tried to use power save / performance mode. Ive tried to turn off 3g, bluetooth, phone (everything basically).
When I tap connect, it says connecting and then it immediately goes to "active" and tries to connect to another network (which I dont have access to).

I have worked out the problem.. first if its a WPA enterprise connection, make sure its set to WORK and not INTERNET setting. it will work. my only works with schaps versions not duttys
on my old pda (Acer N50 premium) I had the same problem with my unis network... it would only work (if at all) for a few minutes then nada... but at home it was absolutely fine, quick stayed on and totally responsive... I wonder if it has something to do with the rubbish way unis run their IT...?
Wasted thread
Many do not have this issue.
According to what's being said here by the indiviuals with issues, you're having problems connecting to a certain network...not all networks.
If it were all networks; your device, settings, equipment or rom would be the common denomenator. Since it's one network, it's that network.
Just because a network is or appears to be available, that doesn't mean that you can connect to it.

no, it could be the phone software. Lets says that a string is added to the registry if the network you are connected to disconnects you; a string that makes the phone cancel connections to the network. And lets assume that the network disconnected you because there is a hidden firewall in the phone software that blocks ping requests, thus making the network believe that the connection is lost and thus disconnecting you. Then we have a moment 22, which is basically something wrong with the phone.
As some readers already pointed out in this "wasted thread", when changing the rom (in one case) or when changing settings from "internet" to "work" (in the second case) there is a great possibility that this problem in fact has to do with phone software and not network.
In my case, it just happens to be neither of the mentioned solutions or any solution that I have found in other threads.
One thing you may want to check is that your wifi is set to max performance. The issue may also be that there is a DNS cache issue, in most cases it can be resolved by manually reconfiguring the connection.
I have been successful in configuring my phone's WLAN to connect to everything from open APS's, WEP, WPA, RADIUS and AP's with proxy redirects, so I can tell you that as with most cases, it's human error.
I have tried max performance.
How do I resolve a dns cache issue? Manually reconfiguring the network did not help (only thing that helps is a reboot).

Proxy Settings Issue

I am trying to hook to a public WIFI at work. The only issue is it requires a specific proxy.
So here is what I do and see happening:
Before attaching to network, I go into Connections and set up the proxy server for 'My Work Network'.
Then I go in and set up the Wireless Settings, and for Connects to I select Work. It connects to the wireless, but when I go into IE it will not connect to anything.
So with the connection up, I go back Settings/Connections, and My Work Network has nothing in it for a proxy for HTTP. I add it and save it. But I still do not connect to anything in IE.
Oh, and one other thing: I don't see how to tell if I am getting DNS server settigns. I can see what my IP and Default router are, but not DNS. I doubt this is my problem, but would be nice to see if I have a DNS server.
Any ideas?
Well, it seems to have resolved. Not sure why.
I do still interest in knowing how to determine the DNS settings.
I spoke too soon.
It has disappeared again. I am finding it inconsistent. Will soft resets affect this?
I still interest in feedback on this.
Another bit of information I just thought of, in case anyone has any ideas...
The time it worked, it had the pop-up acking which network to hook to, and I just ignored it, and it hooked to the public one, and it worked. The times it doesn't work, it hooks to the public network, but the pop-up doesn't come up.
Hoping for some ideas here...
This is a problem with WM 6.0. It's has been fixed a little bit in 6.1, but instead of the settings disappearing IE doesn't use the proxy settings.
My suggestion for now, GIVE up trying to use the proxy settings.

I guess this means I cannot use WIFI if a Proxy is required, which on anything other than strictly public, it ususally is.
This is a nasty bug in WM6. You could "temporarily" resolve this by doing the following reg hack. (After set the Proxy in control panel/Connections)
HKLM\Comm\Connmgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4C98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}\HTTP-{18AD9FBD-F716-ACB6-FD8A-1965DB98B814}
Set key "Type" as 1 (DWORD)
After doing the above hack, enter the Connections then exist without doing anything. (To refresh the system, I suppose.)
After the refresh, you should be able to have PIE access outside network.
However, as soon as your ActiveSync works (via Wifi or USB) or you sometimes you enter the Connections again, the setting will be gone (not stick) and you need to reapply.
Hope this works
Thanks. I guess I'll suffer w/o it at work. That's too much of a pain in the butt. I synch a lot all day long.
I appreciate the input.
I supposed I'll be in for a hard reset/new rom one of these days on a MS update. Sounds like 6.1 is still not solid for this either.
For the proxy and ip settings, please try to use use my wifi profiles.
Your wlan network must connect to work.

I've installed the WiFi Profiles and have posted my status in your thread here at post 54.
For anyone following this, I have not been successful. The proxy disappers even with the profiles mentioned above.
He had not heard of the bug that makes them disapper, and has not had such complaints before with his software. Interesting.
He is on a 6.1 rom, and I'm on 6.0.
At any rate...still suffering no proxy.
FYI...here is another thread on this topic. It has helped some it seems, but not me.

are you sure that you are using the "right" encryption? perhaps you have wpa2
(tkip or aes) and the device checks only wpa? or you enter the wrong password in
wep, then the connection looks like it is established, but you can do nothing with it!
just a thought...

hello...yep..everything is entered correctly..as i say ive been setting them up for years..this one connects fine..have all the boxes ticked but cant actually use the internet..works fine on all my other wm units
Stupid question tbh but I see this sort of thing every day nearly..
Your subnet is the same as the router yes? Does dhcp allocate one out to you or have u got a static ip on the phone?
Despite being connected to the wifi access without being on the same network you will not gain net access.
Who is your carrier for cell service? If you're on AT&T, and you've run an auto-setup CAB file for your cellular network settings, then you may need to double check your connection and proxy settings. Usually the solution is to select the correct network connection and NOT try to use your carriers proxy when you're connected via Wifi.
If you ARE on AT&T, then do this... Go to Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections > Advanced tab > Select Networks button. Set both drop down entries to MEdiaNet... for most this will have NO adverse impact (assumes you have a data plan too). OK to save selections.
Now go back to those MEdiaNet drop down selections. Edit either one of them. Go to the Proxy Setting tab. Uncheck the second box indicating this network connection uses a proxy. OK the settings... enjoy non-proxied Internet freedom via Wifi.
If you're not on AT&T, maybe the same proxy issue could be present. But I couldn't help you with your settings. Hope this helps.

hey..thank you for having little think about it..but im in the uk..t-mobile and those settings having nothing to do really with connecting to my wifi at home..except tell my phone it can..which i did..
all the settings are correct...exactly the same settings im using on other wm devices but when they say its connected i can actually do something..rather than on the diamond where it says its connected but doesnt allow me
ive set the phone up identical to another wm6 phone in every way..that connects fine and i can use my wifi ..this phone i cant
Have you tried connecting to a different wifi router, a friend or whatever?
If you can connect there, then that narrows down the problem to your settings, or your router, or the router setup
Do you know anyone else with a Diamond that could try to see if they could connect to your router?
If they can connect but you can't then you could take a look at their connections. Or it could mean a faulty device. If they can't connect either, then this will give you some clues.
I'm assuming that you've deleted the connection and reformed it. Did you choose work or the internet? Have you tried changing that.
Have you tried changing the Authentication to Shared?
Each time you make a change you need to let it 'set' for a few seconds and then reboot.
Can you connect to the internet via Activesync pass-through?
Sorry, that's all I can think of at the moment. If something else occurs to me I'll post back.
Hi.. I'm not sure if this will help or if you already have tried it.
But I had the same problem and the solution was this:
Pres start -> Settings -> Connection -> Wireless Lan -> power mode
Now use best settings, instead of battery save. ( Im not sure if the translation is 100% right. Translated from danish Diamond)
At the start I couldn't load any pages with Wi-fi, though there was no problem with the connection from the router. But now it works like a charm

I have had the same problem Imy phone even should be picked up by the repair centre then as a last try someone gave me the idea to change the leaver at wireless lan/energymodus to the left (best conection) and whala, I have tried it later whit my phone almost on the wirelesspoint to set it to best batterymode but not even at the middle it would do anything, it says conected but no data is comming to the phone, just when the leaver is at his almost left it will work.
Good luck.

Tilt Wi-Fi Problem after WM6.1 Upgrade (official)

Hi, I've had my Tilt for a while now, and I just updated to the new WM6.1 ROM this morning. However, after the upgrade, I could no longer get the wifi to work. I can connect to the wireless networks (tried different networks both open and secure), but when I try go to a website or use the internet, it just sits there and then says cannot connect. I have tried everything I can think of to fix the problem. I tell it to connect through work and through the internet, and messed with some other setting but that wouldn't do it. I plugged the tilt into activesync and it used the computer's connect just fine. Anyone having or had this issue, or have any suggestions?
Chris
Did you install the remove hidden proxy CAB?
If not, go here and get it:
http://www.4shared.com/dir/6996097/3f1f5d36/cabs.html
It's the removeHiddenProxy4CWS_0522 file
There may be others that do the same thing.
I installed the hidden proxy cab on my tilt, and the wi-fi still isn't working. Any other suggestions on fixing this problem. It's killing me. I though I'd be able to upgrade and reinstall all my files in just over an hour before I ran into this issue.
Update: Okay, I reverted back to the previous WM6 ROM and the wifi worked with absolutely no problem right off the bat. I don't understand what the issue could be and whether anyone else is having the problem. I'm going to try the WM6.1 ROM one more time, and then give up. I have to have wifi because I'm not willing to fork out money for a data plan. Any solutions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
change the power mode for the wireless mode to 'Best Performance'. This worked for me. Start -> Settings -> Connections -> wireless lan -> Power mode -> Best Performance.
Work Around For Wi-Fi Problem
I have found a work around for this and have tested on my "Tilt" which works 100% for the windows mobile 6.1 rom. On your device go to start, settings, connections then click on the connection icon then manage existing connections. Create on new setting on top of Media Net settings which you will have two connections. Name it Cingular GPRS, Enter Cingular GPRS, then Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) for your modem, click next access point name wap.cingular, click next then User name [email protected], Password encrypted. The only thing you need to do is when using the internet & text messaging to have settings set on bullet mark Cingular GPRS. When using MMS only check check bullet mark for Medit Net and have proxy settings enabled at all times which will not affect your Wi-Fi connection to browser the internet once you switch back to Cingular GPRS in your settings. https://www.wireless.att.com/suppor...tutorialsCategory=MEdia+Net&tutorialId=614410

Hi, I tried you solution several times, but still could not get the problem fixed. I guess I am just resolved to going back to the WM6 ROM. Thanks for the info though.
@abhijitray: I already tried changing the power settings when I first began having problems, so that's not it.
i have the same problem with my Tilt. But i found that when i connect to my PC with the USB cable, ActiveSync is on, my IE works fine. With Wifi connection, IE is still dead.
maybe an off topic question, but what does the new rom have that the original rom that came with the tilt doesn't? anyone have a link or something, or is it something like better batter performance? thx
i have tilt with the latest official WM6.1 ROM, and have no issues with Wifi.
Ok - here's my story.
I had a default WM 6.0 Official ROM Tilt and upgraded to ATT's 6.1. Immediately my WiFi stopped working. I waited for updates on this thread, and with my temper rising at such a poor release, I decided to go to Dutty's 6.1 Hybrid. Same thing - Wi-Fi didn't work. (To qualify, it would connect and get an IP address, but any attempt to access the net - ping, ftp, Gmaps, Activesync - would fail) I upgraded to the latest eMo radio and still didn't work. I scratched my head and decided to check my router. It's an older D-Link 802.11b and sadly the last firmware was released in 2005. I changed the settings on it to not use Turbo mode and voila, it connected. All happy and such.
But now the problem is slightly different. It will connect once, but after it disconnects (either because I manually turned off WiFi on the phone or the phone entered Standby mode) I cannot connect again. I literally have to reboot my router. This is great a home, but I worry when I have to use a public wifi hotspot. Any thoughts on that?
And yes, I have played around with the power settings.
Kojak
another thing I have noticed on my router is that my Tilt is not sending a hostname along with the DHCP request. Could that be the issue on the WiFi connection? I am wondering if that confuses the router.
Tom
I have the same problem too. tytn II with latest rom. At home with my old linksys which is a 802.11b device. If i disconnect wifi and then try to connect - the phone say - Unavailable. I notice that if i change the channel the phone connect just fine.... very strange
ps. sorry for my bad eng.

I see the same here - I think that by changing the channel it reboots/resets the router and allows you to try again.
ps. don't worry about your english. If this board was in a different language, I am sure that most people here would not even be able to post a thing.

Well, your problem sounds exactly the same as mine (WM6.1 official). Maybe I should have tried a public hotspot, but it just wouldn't work on my home network (I even cut off the encryption and made it open). I downgraded back to WM6 ROM and everything working fine, so I guess no WM6.1 for me.
It is definite a router by router problem. Had problems with the D-Link but I tried it on a Buffalo 802.11g router running Tomato firmware, and I had absolutely no problems. That being said, this could be either a:
802.11b problem?
D-Link problem?
Something must have changed in the WM 6.1 code from WM6.0 as it pertains to WiFi. If only it was as easy as a toggle setting to fix.
For me, it was the opposite. I could get WiFi to work at my office on Mobile 6.0, but I couldn't get my network at home to work. I have a Wireless-N network at home, and even though I set it to B-G only mode, it still wouldn't connect. As soon as I hit WM6.1, everything was fine.
Unfortunately, this happens more than one would think with Wireless network equipment.

It is definite a router by router problem. Had problems with the D-Link but I tried it on a Buffalo 802.11g router running Tomato firmware, and I had absolutely no problems. That being said, this could be either a:

Kojak_nyc,
You hit it on the head. It is a router issue, although its not limited to the D-Link router because I have a 2wire HomePortal 1000HW and it also doesn't work. It is also on 802.11b, so that could also be the issue. Something must have changed between in the settings the WM6 and the WM6.1 upgrade. I'll go ahead an inform HTC of the issue (not that they'll do anything).
I believe that the once the tilt is updated to WM6.1, it no longer works on IEEE 802.11b.
I think this is a Dlink issue. I've got a linksys router at home and it connects to that fairly quickly. ssid on that isn't hidden cuz i've got vista machines that have a hard time connecting.
anyway, at work i've got a dlink di624, 802.11g, router and i've not been able to connect the kaiser to it. i think tomorrow i'll do what was suggested and just play around with the channels and find which works. the dlink's set to automatically choose the channel it uses so i'll hard code it for a channel i know the kaiser'll scan for and then see what happens.
if it doesn't work i'll juts keep using the 3g connection... i do have 6GB/mo and haven't come anywhere near using it up.
Experienced similar problem just now. I just upgraded to WM 6.1 and my WiFi connection's been unstable since last night. I have a wireless router with excellent signal on my room and enjoys streaming video before I upgraded to WM 6.1. When I reset the phone it restored WiFi connection again.
Hope you could share some tweaks to resolve this problem.
Thanks.

Very odd Tilt/WIFI problem

I've just upgraded to a Linksys WRT160N router. Now my Tilt can see and connect to the Internet, but CANNOT connect to any of my PCs through the wireless. Never had this problem with my old router.
When I try to access my PCs it gives a 'Cannot Connect' window with the following message: 'Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings.'
Now, I have tried changing everything I could think of in the networking settings, and now I've even hard reset my Tilt. With a clean setup, nothing added to the Tilt, (running the new Official AT&T ROM, BTW) I still get the same response from the Tilt.
Is there a major compatibility problem with the Tilt and WRT160N that I don't know of, or a setting I'm overlooking?
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I've also searched in Google for this problem and have had no results.
