Another wifi/internet access problem on the xDA IIi - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

Hi All,
Being new to this forum I just have to say what a great resource it is.
The problem I'm having is that whenever I try to view a web page my xda always tries to connect via GPRS. It is definitely connected to my wifi network, but doesn't appear to want to use it Any ideas??? I've searched the forum and done all the things recommended that are appropriate, but I'm no further forward and am now at the ripping my hair out stage
Any help would be massively appreciated

New XDA Stellar Handset = Problems

Ok i just bought a new XDA Stellar Handset yesterday and i have encountered some problems, which may be due to my lack of knowledge for smart phones like this one. And here are my problems:
1) My contacts on my sim and my main contacts list is merged and i have doubles of every contact
2) When i use Microsoft active sync it always encounters a problem with the support code:85010014
3) From time to time my device will not access internet even though i am connected using WiFi and i have a connection showing on the settings for both Wifi and WLAN.
Please help me if you can. This is literally the first time ive used this kind of device and im worried that i may have made the wrong choice but with your help maybe i will think otherwise
Well, since your new, you need some tools. Best tool
1) Use AdvancedConfig to correct this.
2) Try this
3) I've never had this issue before, so I don't know. But search for it and you'll find the answer.
Hope it helped.
3) happens to me on some routers........goes away when i change the wifi power level to best performance

Thanks, im trying to act on number 2, but for number 1 how do i access the advance control??
To: XtreMe_G
Thanks its working at the moment but when it goes down ill try your idea
I'm not going to give you the link to it, however I'll point you in the right direction. Self reliance is an important thing. I'm not trying to be a ****, but it will save you from being chastised later.
Search for AdvancedConfigusing the google link in my earlier post.

irc connection problems

Hi all, hopefully someone will be able to provide some advice on an irc connection problem i am having.
I have installed on my device zsIRC and smartIRC. Strangely i have had them installed for a while but smartIRC has only just started connecting.
I am connecting using HSDPA and for smartIRC this works fine. It cant resolve the hostname but seems to be ok in using the IP address instead.
when i then try zsIRC it goes through the same connection process but when trying to connect using the IP address i get an error message
connection lost while reading: 10054
then it disconnects.
I have used zsIRC via a wifi connection at home and it works fine there.
Any ideas on if this can be resolved?
One other oddity in smartIRC is that the enter key doesnt work on the keyboard and i have to use the send command on the touch screen....
All help would be greatly appreciated
ps...i have searched the forums but cant seem to find a great deal on irc
I am using Pocket IRC at the moment and All works OK.
Give it a try and let me know if things are better.
I am connected to #xda-devs on freenode right now

Thanks Dave,
there seemed to be so many out there that i went for the two i mentioned. I've downloaded pocketirc and that logged in first time
now just need to play around with it.
Thanks for the help!
Incidentally if anyone does have insight into zsIRC i'd still be interested so i can compare the various programs.

IRC Commands?
Have a look here: http://www.ircle.com/reference/commands.shtml
This is what I use for reference.
Dave
but with some mobile irc apps i've found differences
smartIRC for example doesnt use / it uses , instead, and doesnt seem to support all the commands
although i see that pocketirc uses the /
also some seem to vary how they do private messages so it can be a bit of a lottery
Only ever tried a Java Applet IRC before Pocket, and that was almost impossible to use, so I don't really have any comparison.

Need help connecting to Internet - AT&T Tilt - Cincinnati Bell

Hi Guys. Sorry to post a new thread for this, but I didn't know where else to look for answers as I have already searched everywhere with no luck. I have an unlocked AT&T Tilt on the Cincinnati Bell (in Cincinnati, Ohio) network. No matter what I try, I cannot seem to get the internet working correctly on this phone. Cincinnati Bell does not carry the Tilt, so they will not help me. I have searched these forums and found Cincinnati Bell's web proxy settings and tried plugging the information in, but have not had luck. What is strange is that when I click Internet Explorer, it actually shows that it connects, but no web pages will open. If I touch the E at the top of the screen, it shows a web session open with a timer counting how long I have been connected, but still no web page access. If anybody has any suggestions, I would sure appreciate it. It seems like it would be something simple as I can see the connection timer, but I am lost as to what else to try.
* I will also be posting this question in general questions in hopes of getting an answer. I realize that double posting is frowned upon, but I am so frustrated with this that I am willing to try anything to find the answer. Thanks in advance to anyone that may be able to help.

XDA to act as modem

hey guys,
I have got the XDA Stella (also known as Kaiser) and i herd you can make this phone act as a modem. basically i got an archos (media tablet with internet) which i want to be able to use the internet on my archos through the phone. only problem is i have no idea how to do this or what to get?? can anyone advise please. it would be through wireless or i can do through USB, but was wondering how to do it.
thanks in advance
Shane
Your trying to use your phone as a computer modem right.
If so what you do is this. link computer to phone via usb.
mine then ask me if i want to internet share i click that then click done. if you dont get that option try going to start/programs/connections/internet sharing
that should do what you need.

Erm he wants to share the connection with an Archos, not with a PC. That won't work.
To the OP: USB most likely won't work, as the Archos certainly won't recognise the Kaiser. On the PC it requires Activesync and its drivers to be installed to work. We never know, you can try running internet sharing onto USB and plug it into the Archos, and see...
Otherwise you'd have to use WMWifiRouter or the manual hack to share the connection over Wifi. Beware that sucks battery down like hell on the Kaiser, don't expect more than 2 hours on a full battery.
Whats the Wifirouter you mean just on a normal computer or is it software to buy for the kaiser, and the manual hack am i likely to get caught by my service provider??
there is a option to adhoc to a computer, i was wondering if there is a way to change that to the archos?
also whats the manual hack or where can i find it??
Hey man all you have to do is use search, this topic has been discussed for at least a year now..
wmWiFirouter is a program that turns your phone into a wifi access point. Again, search has all of that info for you plus tons of other great knowledge.

Thanks got wifirouter working, just cant get my archos 5 to find it now
On the WMWifirouter site there should be a list of devices that will not work.. I think PSP's do not work.

Automatic Wifi connection - help

Hi to All,
ive got HTC TD2 and I am not using data tarif from mobile operator. Instead of GPRS/EDGE/3G I am using WiFi all the time. But there is a problem. Many applications use a default connection GPRS/EDGE/3G, so when I want to surf or whatever I have to go to switch on WiFi manually and than run that application, which is not comfortable :-(
Is there any setting or app that will set WiFi as a primary internet connection ? So if I will start any app with data conn. requirements, than WiFi will automatically starts, and connect.
Thanks for any help.
Mr. P.
hello and welcome to the forum
read here maybe it will help
PS. please try to search after the solutions, as they are probably out there!
Try TD2 Tools it has a selection which will activate Wifi initially then only revert to other data if not available, not use that much myself, but worth seeing if it works
