Help with email when on wifi - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Sprint HTC Hero and I can't check email when at home on my wifi.
I turn wifi off and then I can check email.
When on wifi I can surf the web and it shows I an connected.
Please help
Thanks

Sounds like the same bug as MMS with Wifi turned on. No known fix that I can find from a search. Is it that big of a deal? Emails are small. I never use the Wifi on mine.
Just a thought, if you need it you need it.

well
Now that you mention it I have noticed the MMS problem as well. Is it a big deal, no but still wish I would not have to deal with it. But if there is no fix at this time I can stop trying to make it work.
Thanks
I want a Nexus One

WiFi Problem: Defect or just TILT software

Hey guys, yes I've searched and read almost every post about Wifi and was wondering to see how many people are able to get Wifi connected or is my unit just defective. I've tried all tips people were giving and still no luck. Most of the time it'll be able to see what wireless router is available but when I try to connect it'll show unavailable. First I thought it was my router acting all weird, it's a Zoom ADSL by the way, but sometime I'll be out and locate an open unsecured router and it'll show the same thing when I try to connect. After a couple of second it'll show available again and same thing try to connect and becomes unavailable. Once in a blue moon it'll connect but once I turn it off and try the connection again it'll say unavailable. Is there something I'm doing wrong with my setting or is it just a defective Wifi. Like I said in the DOA thread at home I don't get 3G so Wifi would be a much better option but this bug here is really starting to frustrate me. All my other Wifi product works cept for this TILT. I use to have the stock TILT 1.57 - 12.17 rom and radio and now using the DUTTY touchFlo Beta2. Thanx for any help and I know this is probably one of many Wifi thread but I just wanted to get this frustration off my chest.

ATT Tilt - Data keeps staying on.

Hi Everyone,
My little brother's tilt has its data always coming on by itself all the time. I changed the settings with kaiser tweak to end after a minute and it doesnt stop it. Hopefully someone can help me out with this problem.
are you sure that absolutley no apps are running which may download data periodically?

Email, Weather, GPS aps, like Google Maps all access data connections. Change your email and weather notifications to update manually or any other app for that matter.
I use NoData. I've never had it to fail me.

"yesterday I played on it fine, and after I had played, I messed round with the apns.. "
Define messed around with the apns (when everything was working properly)? I assume you changed some settings with your apns and messed something up.
What ROM are you using? Stock? Custom?
Yea I changed the settings around... and its stock froyo frf91
Well. Nothing else to do than checking if your APN settings are correct then.
Find your carrier here:

And see if something is needs corrected.
I had this problem once. I was at the gym using Pandora, and all of a sudden it stopped. The 3G icon was only showing the arrow pointing to the device lit up, not the one going away. (which is outboud I think?).
Anyway, I turned on airplane mode, and turned it off, and it fixed the service problem.
Haven't had it since. I think it may have been a problem with a kernel I was using.
Ok great, ill try both options... thanks guys Thanks a lot
Having the same issue, web pages won't load . Apn settings are fine, just can't load a web page. Using kang o rama, oc. Flashed another rom seemed like same issue, emother rom. Tried reboot, airplane mode, etc and no luck. Is it the radio ? Or kernel? Download dolphin browser ?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
fixed.....
have alittle searching, it was the apn settings for me. Not sure why this is though, I had it set up like this before and it worked perfectly fine.
Name cbw internet
apn... wap.gocbw.com
proxy...216.68.79.202
port 80
these were my orginal settings when I first started with the n1, these worked fine, no issues what so ever till update to froyo 91 or so. Anyways I went back into my apn settings and took out the proxy & port numbers, this seems to have fixed my issue with being able to use the browser on the n1, note with the settings listed above I was still able to tether and have facebook, gmail, hotmail, and everything else sync, just no browser option on the n1. Hope this helps...

Captivate wifi fix?

Ok guys. I am not sure what is going on here.
I can't connect to my schools wifi and it is becoming a royal PITA.
I can connect to wifi perfectly fine at home.
At school, they don't require any sort of "password" to access the network. (no wep or anything I mean) They do have one of those annoying/retarded portal login systems which seems to be coded to only care for laptops.... Actually I should say coded for a hand full of browsers ON the laptop.
I once or twice a week or so ago was able to actually access the login page either by entering it manually and being able to actually use wifi for a few minutes.. or by getting redirected.
I took the problem up with the help desk, they said we now have alimit of 4 wireless devices and my allowance was maxed.
Unlikely but, whatever..
So now over the last few days won't redirect me, it won't let me even enter the login address manually.. (before it wasn't a sure thing but, I could at least do it.)
I am rooted running cog 3.03. (Which does have the 2.2 update) Had the same problem on stock 2.1.
Goes without saying I'm rooted and willing to do what it takes to get wifi working here.. Even if I did happen to have unlimited data.. my school is pretty Iphone heavy... especially at lunch, And some days I am just happy to receive the occassional text I can get from my girlfriend.
But, fact is I don't have unlimited data.. I have extremely limited data.
If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it.
Tried:
Wifi fixer in market.
Rebooting.
"forgetting" then reconnecting. (a million times).
Manually assigning an IP address.
Praying to Cthulhu
Using multiple browsers to see if one works with portal better.
and I am out of idea's..
Any chance you need to enter a proxy server?
I have never needed to enter a proxy server before with any other device.
And I have never found anything suggesting I would anywhere on the school website.

You might ask around about it. The browser is probably set to auto detect a proxy. You don't have that on the phone.
Although, you do indicate you actually did connect for a bit a while back, so it likely isn't the proxy.
Sorry. Don't know what else to offer.
I appreciate the effort, unfortunately my school didn't resolve the issue either so I am unsure what to do..
You might be on to something with the proxy...
No telling how the looney's set this stuff up...
Do you have the login page in your favorites? And does the device connect to the wireless "hotspot"?
I'd test it at a starbucks (or mcdonalds of all places have them too) and see if the issue repeats itself. The ATT hotspot requires you accept the agreement before it allows you to browse.
If it doesn't work.. I'd go back to stock and see if you continue having the same issues. If the issues are resolved when going back to stock - then you'd need to bug DG for a possible fix with his ROM as that is possibly where the problem lies.
Yes it does happen to connect at other places.
I can get it working at home no problem.
I have the url memorized at this point to log in..
Part of the reason i rooted was one or two people said it cleared whatever wifi problems they wre having up..
Infact I would agree with that more than anything..
Although it didn't fix my problems, I have been able to do a bit more..
I hate with a passion bumping my own thread.. but, if anyone can help.. I would appreciate it.
i think your issue might not be your phone but your school unfortunately... when you are there to connect, are there a lot of others there as well?? for example, where i am at, they have their access points set up and i can select it with my phone, but sometimes i get on and sometimes i dont.. the issue is that they limit the amount of connected users and it might show that you are connected, but you don't in fact have access.. does this sound about like what you are having??
a test (and this will suck) is to let it connect and if it isnt connected, sit there for a while and watch as people leave and see if you connect.. usually they slot peeps in order as they log in via their IP.. so depending on how many users are not able to connect, you might not be the first to get on.. this sux and i know.. it happens here all the time and some times i have drained my laptop battery sitting there trying to connect.. now that i have my phone, 1 or the other will connect first
hope it helps a little.. but like said.. good chance its not your phone .. if it is your phone.. i am not really sure what else to think of at the moment..

Email Syncing WIFI

Hi has anybody else got this problem, my HTC one only syncs email when Im connected via WIFI, when out on road i do not receive emails but soon as i get back to office or home I receive all of them, this never happened with my One XL have i set something wrong?
same problem
I dont use wifi a lot so I've not replicated your issue yet (at least the wifi part)
I do, however, know that my phone does NOT automatically "push" the new e-mails when on data. The e-mail software waits for me to turn it on which in turn 'forces' an update.
Any help on this matter would be great.
Thanks.
EDIT:
I have just tried turning on wifi, and e-mail still does not push. When I open the app, it then syncs.
