WIFI problems. Cannot connect to the internet

I am a fresh owner of an unlocked HTC 8925 and I am having the hardest time connecting to the internet via WIFI. I connect to any hotspot just fine (atleast that's what the phone indicates to me) but when it is time to hit the internet with internet explorer it tells me that I can't go anywhere. (Yes, I chose that this connection connects to the internet)
I don't recall the exact error message but it was along the lines of that any websites I tried to go to was name unknown or something like that. I'll get the exact error message if needed.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

under start>settings>connections>wifi>network adapters
have you got the IEEE 802.11b/g etc set to "the internet"?
it may be obvious/you've already checked it, but i thought i'd ask, seeing as no one has commented yet...

I have the same problem!!! I try everything but nobody know how to fix it, click in this thread, i started it and i tried everything that they told me but with not result, maybe you haver better luck.

GOT IT! At least for myself (HTC Touch "Elf" w/ ShadoW 2.0 ROM).
Was going MAD over this.
Problem is that some programs (in my case the WMWiFi Router ICS software) changes the default network settings for WiFi.
Go to Settings-->WiFi -->Network Adapters Tab. Click on your main WiFi adapter (in my case "IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter") and select "Use server assigned IP address".
If this doesn't help (i.e. already checked) I do apologize. Worked in my case.
Hope this helps!

Opera 9.5 build 405 Wifi Isssue

Has anyone encountered a problem on the Tilt where Wifi connects but opera 9.5 will not operate using the connection, my tilt is unlocked and running on the tmobile network by the way. i thought it might be the hidden proxy so i installed the cab, it did nothing. I've searched the forum for three days, any help is greatly appreciated.

So really no one knows hows to fix this? Or has at least experienced a simular issue?

Do you have the same problem with PIE?

I have the same issue and still havent found a way to fix it!

where the hell are you guys getting opera 9.5?!

Check your connection settings, I've a dutch rom so I don't now what it's exactly in english roms,
I guess start>settings>connections tab>connections>advanced tab>select network
Somebody told me I had to set those both to "my work-network".
I can use PIE and Opera 405 now over wifi and by activesync (I don't use gprs/3gp)

Didnt work...any other suggestions?

I've come to believe the problem is in he way the browser accessing your data plan. I think it's using an APN gateway rather than a direct socket or http connectivity to data... therefor, if it doesn't see the APN of your data network, no worky worky. I haven't figured out the settings to get it to work in "opera:config" yet...
Maybe someone smarter than me could confirm this...
Here's some more info (albiet it is an article for opera mini, I think it might be the same issue):

okay if you really make a search of this you will find it.

thanks for the suggestions. iI believe i did see something in the Opera:config about APN. What am I suppossed to change in the Connection Settings?

As I said in my post I had already searched and attempted to remedy the issue with the disablehidden_proxy.cab

in opera:config you cant do nothing. Just use hide proxy.cab, after that opera will use any connection. Then if you go opera:config you will find opera doesn't use the proxy of you're carrier. You will conect to wifi. it worked for me

thank you I'll try that

It works now!!!
YAY! it works. I just did the removeproxy.cab and now it works fine with wifi. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!

AT&T data connection problems on Kaiser

Hi -- I've got an unlocked Kaiser 100 which works fine in other countries (SFR network in France, O2 in Ireland, etc...) and _has_ worked fine on AT&T in America until recently. Suddenly, the data connection has started randomly but chronically started going dead on me. The problem has nothing to do with connection strength: I'm in Manhattan, which generally has excellent coverage, and the connection can be at four bars on HSDPA, and I still won't be able to download _any_ data. Sometimes the four bars HSDPA icon will suddenly change to the no-connection icon for a moment and then return to four bars HSDPA again. And this happens completely unpredictably: the connection is sometimes fine for hours and hours, while at other times I won't be able to download any data for minutes at a time.
I've tried many different connection settings, some with proxy and some without, and haven't been able to fix the issue. AT&T support has been, of course, completely useless, and just stay that these problems happen with unlocked, non-AT&T branded phones.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using the stock ROM that came with the phone (and which worked great with AT&T until recently) and I've tried doing two soft-resets, neither of which have fixed the issue.
Thanks!
Alan
p.s. Does anyone understand why a "search this forum" search for ATT or AT&T turns up _nothing_? There are many posts that mention AT&T, obviously, but I can't find any of them doing a search. I wonder if someone has posted on this issue before, but I have no way to find out.

You didn't disable anything with an adv config tool by chance?
You are sure you covered "disable proxy"?
Settings:
Name: MediaNet
Proxy settings: None and "This network connects to the internet" marked
Access point: wap.cingular
Username/password/domain: LEAVE BLANK (don't ask why just leave BLANK)
Adv settings: User server assigned IP address
IP header compression
Servers: All empty
I had a similar issue a few weeks ago and AFTER removing username and pw all worked out well.

Thanks for the response -- yes, those are exactly what my settings have been too. They seem to be working fine right now, but I'm sure I'll have connection issues again later today or tomorrow.
Thanks!
Alan

Thank you for that. Telling me to delete my UN & password in media net settings. For some reason, that has saved me from wanting to destroy my mother ****ing phone.
With the UN and Password in there, my phone (when in use as modem for laptop) would ONLY allow me to run google searches, and visit the paypal website. Note, I couldn't actually click on any google result, as it would then resort to error 404
Thank you again, for lending me the tip that makes my phone work like it ****ing should have out of the goddamn box

I'm having data trouble as well. Everything worked fine as of last night. However, this morning I found that I could only connect to the Internet with Internet Explorer. Other browsers, Opera Mini, Opera 8.65, all hang. SiriusWM5, SelectRadio, Resco Radio, youtubeplay and other Web-enabled programs can no longer connect. However, QuickGPS still works as does RSS Hub.
I've tried to tinker with the connection settings, including using the advice in this thread Nothing works. I ran connection setup to just restore the original settings. Nothing. I can only connect with IE...I'm posting this message with it. Any ideas on what the problem might be that would allow some apps to work and not others?
UPDATE: Opera 9 and Netfront 3.3 actually do work. Live Search works also.

Is Pocket Outlook working? I just called AT&T because mine stopped working today.

It looks like this is a widespread problem. Mine is doing the same thing. At least we know it is the service and not the phone.
Hust saw this post on another website..
"Just got off the phone with an AT&T Rep. The hurricane knocked something out and the data access is supposedly down in half the U.S. ETA was this afternoon per the rep"

good to know. but why would some programs work and others not? don't they all use the same port/server/whatever to access the Web?
this is still weird. but let's hope it's fixed ASAP.

seems they've fixed the problem.

Cannot explain how a network works in three words but services to support whatever network (DNS, routers, proxy's, NAT servers) are spread all over the US so if a major hub or datacenter has a problem, things go south, at least partially.

Yeah, looks like things are working now.

I've run into a similar issue except that my phone works OK in the US but not in Germany.
I have an AT&T Tilt with the latest official AT&T Windows 6.1 ROM. It works great here in the US. However, when I am in Germany, the data connection seems to drop and the only way I found to get it back is to do a soft reset. It then comes back for a while, but drops again after some time (maybe tens of minutes - there's an X next to the data connection symbol). After the soft reset I am able to connect to download say the weather in the built-in HTC Home. However, after several minutes the connection drops again and checking the weather results in the phone trying to establish a data connection followed by a message that the answering modem has dropped the call.
Anyone know what the problem might be? The issue seems aggravated while connected to Vodafone, less so when connected to O2. After returning to the US everything works as expected again. I haven't done any tweaks to change the data connections of the phone. KaiserTweak sees everything related to GPRS and data set to default. Some people have suggested getting a new radio ROM, but I'm not sure which one would work well in the US, Europe, Japan and Korea.

Try checking AT&T support tutorials at https://www.wireless.att.com/suppor...0&tutorialsCategory=Browser&tutorialId=668770

I have a CAB in the office for intl. data setup. Helped me in Europe all the time, will post tomorrow.

I will try selecting the carrier when I am in Europe next week. However, I'd prefer something that just works in case a particular carrier is not available. I am hoping the radio will work OK in Korea and Japan too.
tyguy: Do you know what the cab changes? Does it change the radio ROM code or does it modify some other settings? I'm curious as to what is causing the problem. Also, is this a one time operation or do you have to keep changing settings when you go between continents?

Would you have it available now? I'm interested in trying it out. Do you have any details on what it actually does?

@emuyshondt
You're not forgotten. I do not know what it does but it worked for me in Europe.
I deleted it from my email since a buddy of mine sent it while I was in Europe and didn't store it.
Let me poke around - I'll come back to you.

Here it is.

Thanks! I'll try it out this coming weekend.

Lemme know.

Email connection problem

Hi all have an unlocked touch diamond.
My connection to t-mobile internet works well on all applications (browser, weather, youtube) but not my personal email (accessed via IMAP ) - I am getting an "error synchronizing", with a bubble coming up afterwards explaining that it cannot connect and to check connection settings.
I have checked the email settings with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Quick update - it works via WiFi, but not via GPRS - confused!

Some problem

ive got the same problem.... i actually never thought about using the wifi because it wasnt connecting via the GPRS so i presumed there was something wrong... this is more than confusing now
i think we might have to place a call to t-mobile to get it sorted, because if i have to wait for a wifi connection everytime thats long
let me know if you find anything out

if you go on the t-mobile website, you can get the GPRS settings sent to your phone.
This might solve the problem.

found the answer people

Internet Explorer

I have the newest AT&T 6.1 ROM on my Tilt. I've noticed that via WIFI, I can view information on the web through IE, that I can't via the 3G network.
I have a securities practice test site that I enter to study for exams. If I jump into WIFI (home or Starbucks, etc.), I can view the practice test questions. If I'm NOT on WIFI, the test questions don't load...
Can anyone tell me why this happens? And, is there a way around it?
****Skyfire has NO problem at all with OR without WIFI. But I don't like the way the zoom feature with Skyfire shows the material, and I have to adjust it each page. Painfully frustrating. Opera, like IE, does NOT allow the viewing of the test questions either. ONLY Skyfire loads the entire page when NOT on WIFI.
Thanks for your help...

It sounds to me that it is likely a javascript problem. I'm not so sure PIE handles javascript at all.
If the page has javascript it may not display correctly, or possibly not at all.

Thanks for the reply. Here's the thing. It'll work FINE if I'm using the WIFI on my Tilt. It's ONLY when I use the phone (H, 3G) to access the web. It seems that the WIFI connections have something that my H or 3G connection via the phone doesn't. But thanks for the input.
Seems that this is a hard one to figure out. But I appreciate your stab at it with me.

How about coverage? But seriously, have you tried it in other areas?

think U will nid this..
something abt hidden proxy for PIE...
I had the same problem few days back after flashing a rom..
no problems when using opera mini.. only PIE giving problems.

Could be the carrier proxy being used through IE. Naturally via WiFi you cannot use the ATT proxy . Skyfire uses its own proxy thus the issue at hand.
Noticed this issue too on some sites. You could report it to the carrier but dont count on immediate resolution.

Thanks for the reply. I think you guys have cured the IE problem!!!! I JUST loaded the removehiddenproxy cab and the information came up in IE!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Now, Opera STILL doesn't show the information (I would rather use Opera), so if there was a way to do the SAME thing for Opera, that would be COOL! But the cab sure cured the IE problem. Anyone know if there's a "removehiddenproxy" cab that works for Opera?

This makes PERFECT sense!!! Thank you for your help. This means that Opera 9.5 Beta probably has the "hidden proxy" as well! Know how I can remove that other than contacting Opera developers (I don't know HOW I would do that...)?

did you ever sort you issue with opera, as im in the same boat, cant get it to conect to the net, been searching the forums today and still even with disablehidenproxy.cab, cant get it to connect!
