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 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.
Folks,
I have a US TMobile Wing, WM6, and I am having problems with WiFi connections that use proxies. At work, we use a corporate HTTP proxy to access the internet.
The wing settings are as follows, WiFi connects to work, My Work Network has the proxy server set in the Advanced tab. I have been looking in the registry of the device (under HKLM\Comm\ConnManager\Providers\{7C4B...}), and as soon as the WiFI connects, the HTTP proxy I set gets marked as a null proxy (type 0). When the WiFi disconnects, the proxy entry in the registry is returned to its original type 1 (HTTP).
Anyone has any idea what I can do to prevent the proxy from being changed by the WiFi application? Is there a way to get hold of the WiFi connection application from a WM5 device to try it out?
Thanks in advance

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.
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. Even though I did check the "This is a hidden network" checkbox option, in the settings.
Configure Wireless Network-
Network Name: MyWirelessNetwork
Connects By: The Internet
This is a hidden network: CHECKED
Configure Wireless Authentication-
Authentication: WPA2-PSK
Data Encryption: TKIP
The Key is Automatically Provided: unchecked
Network Key: **********
Key Index: 1
Please help,... many thanks!
Kind regards,
JonD
My device is the HTC TyTn II (Kaiser) running Windows Mobile 6 Professional
Additional information about my WiFi Router:
I'm using a D-Link DI-524 wireless router that I set as a hidden network (disabled SSID broadcast).
I also enabled the MAC filtering, and of course the device's MAC address is already added to the approved list for connections, so I think there is no issue with the router or network (like I mentioned before, when I enabled the SSID broadcast all devices connect perfectly and all is good, but when I disabled the SSID broadcast, the Kaiser & the vista laptop will say the network is unavailable and can't connect).
No problems with connections at all with my other laptop that runs on XP.
Stupid question...but are you able to connect to the network with another devcie. Also have to tried running a third party program that can scan for wireless AP's from the device.
And can you connect to any other hidden network..
It might be in a really good hiding spot.

Somethings wrong with what you posted. WPA2-PSK is a form of authentication, and it would use either AES or TKIP as it's method of encryption. There is no such thing as a WPA, open network (WEP, open yes, but not WPA).
gwnorth, thanks for pointing that out.... the following is the correct configuration:
Configure Wireless Network-
Network Name: MyWirelessNetwork
Connects By: The Internet
This is a hidden network: CHECKED
Configure Wireless Authentication-
Authentication: WPA2-PSK

As for the other questions (for Arlop & ChumleyEX), I've got no problems connecting to my non-broadcast SSID network with my laptop running XP.... but I face the same problem with my other laptop that runs on vista.
of course, when I enabled the SSID broadcast, everything connects fine (the Kaiser and the vista laptop).
If anybody faced this similar problem and knows a solution, please let me know. Appreciate your help in the matter.
What is the point to have the system acknowledging that the network is hidden or not (checkbox option "This is a hidden network:" CHECKED or UNCHECKED ), but still fail to connect to it.
cheers,
JonD.
I'm not sure if this will help ...
I'm using a Netgear wireless router provided by my company which is set to an hidden network.
To set up access via my Kaiser I enter:
Setting > Connection > WiFi > Add New ...
Network name > Mynetworkname
Connects to > The internet
Hidden network > Checked
Authentication > Open
Data Encryption > WEP
The key is automatically provided > Un-Checked
Network Key > ****************************
Key Index > 1
What you haven't mentioned, but something that I needed to do ... The router needs to know my PDA mac address to allow access in its settings to support authorisation.
Since our IT department control the access rights (unless you have the password ), I do not know if the mac address information is a company protocol or part of a 'hidden network' setting.
PS. I always keep the WEP key in a text file on the PDA to copy and paste, because it's too troublesome to type it out each time I change the ROM's and have to set it up again.
I hope this helps.

Sounds to me like you have a network issue, not a Kaiser issue since you said your having the same issues on Vista.
I do not broadcast my SSID and my tilt has no problems connecting.
Maybe you have MAC-address filtering enabled?
I have seen routers giving problems with MAC-filtering disabled and SSID broadcasting disabled.
Devices that had a working connection, disconnected when we disabled SSID-broadcast.
Strange, but enabling the MAC-address filter list solved that.
To ajs007, jallenclark & johanromijn thank you for your replies.

ajs007, do you think different authentication protocols (you use WEP, but I use WPA-PSK) make any difference?
jallenclark, is there anything you did differently?
Thanks.

I have the same issue with mine. I cannot connect to a hidden network....initially.
I turned on SSID broadcast, the Tilt connect immediately and then unchecked the SSID Broadcast.
Now it connects always.
Seems like it should work.. other devices connect fine as long as the name is specified.

Sadly, I tried that, connects immediately when the SSID is broadcast, and while it remains connected, I turn off the broadcast and the device lost connectivity immediately too.
Man... I don't understand this......
here are some more info (ROM version and stuff), just in case you guys out there can help figure this out...... many thanks!
ROM version: 2.50.771.0 WWE
ROM Date: 10 March 2008
Radio version: 1.27.15.32
Protocol version: 22.51.88.13H
I have similar problem, Hermes with wm6.1. When my router is set up to use WEP I have no problem to connect, but I prefer WPA2-PSK and my PDA gets stuck on "connecting".
My iBook and a PC laptop can connect without problem...and so does my buddy's iPhone...
Change the radio version. try flashing a radio that end in 36. xD
i have similar problem with my x1. radio version ends with 18. firmware version is R2AA010. exists one with newer radio? thx.
Works on mine?
I went to a customer site recently where they were deploying a Wireless LAN. As they were using a hidden SSID & WPA2-PSK & AES I tested it with my Kaiser and after a couple of attempts it connected OK (I think typos on my part were why it took two attempts..).
Hidden SSID's are pretty useless anyway as they are easy to discover. I think beefing up the back end security is a much better option - use WPA2 with PEAP or EAP-TLS instead of just hiding the SSID and using Pre-Shared-Keys. If the key is leaked then think of the number of devices you need to manually reconfigure.
