I am unable to get Wifi to connect to any network! The device shows me the available network and everything, but it says it's connecting to them and then it just says they're available. It was working fine for 2 weeks on this rom Ultimate-X2.V9 and just stopped yesterday. Its a Kaiser
Any solutions? Suggestions?
if they are not your wifi router networks they could have added mac filtering to keep you out
otherwise maybe their firmware require an update or they just need a restart all the connects handheld devices make often confuse the dhcp in the router
I've got the same problem, but they are my networks, and they've all been restarted.
One network especially doesn't have mac filtering applied, but has SSID hidden, which is fine, but it still won't connect.
I have been dicking about with changing Roms recently, but am back on the stock HTC rom, so wondering if something could've messed up the Wifi abilities.
Thanks,
Hi,
I have the same problem on my kaiser, with every rom I've tried.
On a previous rom, I found a reg key which prevented wifi to connect, and it resolved the problem, but now I can't remember what the key is...
Wifi APs are detected, identification is sent, PPC asks for the wep/wpa key, identification seems to succeed, sometimes I even get the right IP, but nothing happens, and the PPC stops the connection to the AP after a few seconds...
Very annoying
I should add, all routers in use are fully up-to-date with their firmwares, and recently I've been receiving a message saying "Shell32.exe" issue.
I get the option to send the report to M$, however the ironic problem with that is I need the network to use it!
I've just flashed my phone back to the original Orange ROM, so I'll see how that goes now, but when I did manage to connect to my home network, it would connect, allow me to even refresh my IP, but not allow me to access any websites, use any installed applications etc.
same problem
but it happend after i installed moorhunn.
Little better after i uninstalled it but my kaiser still drop the connection in a few seconds and want to turn on the 3g connection instead...
I getting an error message that says"no active programs is started".

Hi,
I've got an Alpine and all the ROMs are simple out-of-the-box as from O2 back in september.
Previously, I would use it to connect to the wireless network in my university. I would turn on the wifi then select the network to connect me to the internet and then enter the wireless key we have been provided with.
However, now it just stays on 'scanning network' and doesn't prompt me to choose a network or enter any key. Sometimes it claims that an IP has been assigned, but it doesn't progress past this. I have tried soft resetting and changing the wifi from 'best battery' to 'best performance'. I have also tried being really near the router.
My friends can access this network just fine on their laptops, and when I run WiFiFoFum it shows up just fine. I am pretty certain the router is a 802.11g one, and I can't tell if it's been changed since I could access it before.
My problem is I know virtually nothing about WiFi, so I don't know how to troubleshoot this. I was hoping someone could give me a bit of help?
Thanks.
try this.
turn wifi on
go to settings
connections
network cards
see if you have networks listed, if u do delete them.
turn off wifi and turn back on again so it searches. see if it picks up the network.
Failing that what IP is it showing u, if its assigned one??
Hi,
So far the AT&T Tilt has been kicking some serious ass. However, there has been one glitch that I'm hoping someone might know more about.
Twice now, the internet connection has stopped working through the cellular data connection. Connecting through active sync and wi-fi still works. The last time this happened I called Fido (Calgary, Canada), found out that everything was OK on their end and then tried a bunch of connection settings. Doing what they asked me to do didn't solve the problem. Then, seemingly by magic without doing anything in particular, the connection started working again and I could connect to web pages again through IE.
So it has happened again, and I can't to connect to the internet using IE (or any other application). Here is the status so far:
- tried rebooting the device
- been able to connect via wi-fi and active sync
- Installed Microsoft's Network Analyzer application which reports the following: IP address is assigned (cellular connection) and able to ping microsoft's http server (www.microsoft.com ). Note that when I disconnect my data connection the ping to microsoft fails so I believe it is actually reaching the server. There is no MAC address for the cellular network adaptor, but I don't know if this is normal or not. See the attached document which is the log file it generated.
- Tried to connect via Google Maps, Direct push (Exchange), Octro Talk. All of the applications give the same message that the page or service can't be found. It is odd that the Network Analyzer seems to be the only application that can talk to the outside world.
- Also re-ran the diable proxy cab for the Tilt
I didn't play with any of the connection settings prior to this happening so it's hard to tell what is causing the problem.
Thanks in advance,
Alan
Flash your ROM
If you are having the same trouble, I fixed my problem by flashing to an HTC ROM. Screen layout switching is faster now, my network connection is working and the system seems generaly faster. I'm using Dutty's Hybrid test final rom V4. If there is stuff about your tilt that you don't like, and you aren't actually using AT&T as your carier, then I would just ditch their ROM.

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...?

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).

Hello all,
I have a WIFI network at home that is hidden, which means that he SSID is not broadcast into the world. You have to know it to connect to it, and I also made it very long.
This is not a problem on my laptop, which connects fine, if slow sometimes.
However, on my kaiser, this gives serious problems.
The first day i got it I happily entered all the required settings (SSID, WPA-PSK, network key etc) and pling! I was connected. Yesterday evening however I noticed that all those settings were gone! I entered them again but couldn't connect. And presto, settings were gone again!
Why doesn't it remember the settings I punch in? Is there any way to enforce this?
Thanks,
Philbert

Strange, because mine retains the settings of any hidden WiFi network that I've put in there.
hello
i use WPA/PSK-TKIP encryption on my router.
at wifi settings in kaiser, you have to add your hidden ssid name, and check "this is a hidden network" checkbox.
it works for me fine
(ps.: i use MAC addrass filter on my router, my pda, notebook and PC's MAC's are added to my router, and they only have access to my router' internet.)

This is a bug within MS WM OS, not a problem with your device or anything HTC have done. It should hopefully be resolved in 6.1 (hopefully!)
I've seen it on my own unit at times. If the unit has trouble connecting to the access point and there can be many reasons for this, WM gives a 'burp' and settings are lost.
Try updating your router firmware or use AES encryption instead of TKIP as some earlier versions of TKIP are not fully compatible (Linksys is a prime example).
Thanks
Thanks for replying everyone.
I just switched on my wifi and it immediately found my network, without the need for inputting my settings. I think this problem occurs only when the handshake with the network times out for some reason.
So that makes it only a nuisance that appears sometimes, not a disaster.
Thanks,
Philbert
I have a brand new tilt that I got last night and I am unable to connect to my wireless network. When I enable wi-fi in my Wireless Manager, it prompts me to connect to my router or to my PS3. I choose my router, set it to connect to 'Work' (used to do this on WM2003/WM5) and enter my WEP key.
After the WEP key is entered, I see that it is connecting, but then it just goes back to the network being available.
I have tried changing the wireless power to high, deleted the settings and re-entered them. Rebooted the phone with a hard reset, as well as my router, and I am still unable to connect.
Any thoughts?
what about setting it to connect to "The Internet" instead of Work? that's how i have mine and it works flawlessly...
I get the same results. In 'Start' > 'Settings' > 'Connections' > 'Wi-Fi' I see the network I want to connect to. I highlight it and click 'Connect' and it says 'Connecting' for a few moments. Instead of moving to 'Connected' it just goes back to saying 'Available'.
I have tried every combination of 'Work' or 'The Internet' that I can find, and still no luck. I tried connecting to a neighbor's unsecured wireless network and got the same results, so I know it's not the WEP. On a side note, my Dell Axim X50 with WM5 connects to both networks just fine.
this happens to my phone every so often but a soft-reset or cycling the WiFi in the comm manageer usually fixes it...
Unfortunately, that hasn't worked for me. I have done soft resets, hard resets, and still it doesn't want to work. I'm going to try at my office tomorrow when I get there and see if that makes a difference, but I don't have high hopes at the moment.
I've read that some routers might be problematic, so I am wondering if anyone has tried the Linksys WRT100N with their Tilt. If so, was there anything special that was done to get it working?
same exact problem with my wi-fi... except the 1st day i got my tilt, the wi-fi was working flawless while hooked up through usb to my laptop.. now its not working at all. It just tries to connect and nothing happened. I may even have the same exact router lol. Its an old linksys
I think it's the Wireless-N router at home. I am at work on a WAP54G and it's working fine. PIE launches, I can see my network and Pocket Putty hits the servers I need it to. Unfortunately, that means I get to mess with the router at home, but fortunately it means there is nothing wrong with the tilt.
