After a hard reset the wifi is only accessing local network (LAN) addresses, not working for internet access. The internet always worked using wifi before, but now only for LAN.
Using total commander I can access my local network, connect to the computers and copy/paste files without any problem, but using any browser or trying to get weather data just don't work. For the weather it says "There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry?". I can retry forever, the same problem.
Also I have tried to changed the phone radio, but it didn't worked, so I put back the previous one. Maybe this is the problem, but I can't understand why. Is there some tool to fix/format/something radio memory, just like mtty for the rom memory?
Thanks
You could try to change energy mode to best (battery)performance:
start >settings>connections>wifi>advanced>energy mode
(sorry if used words are not all correct, translated from dutch)

I've fixed it. I've changed to static settings and now it works. Sadly I have to do that on all wifi hotspots.
Thanks for your help
I have same problem with wifi. I am connected to wifi, but i can't go on internet or update weather data.
what did u change to static settings?
Thank you why did i not think of that before all ways wondered why the dumb phone did not want to connect to the internet using it's Wifi.
Such a big problem and what a simple solution. LOL
And I have Searched Google before and no solution to this there.

Hey y'all,
I tried to search for the answer to this but couldn't find anything. Basically, I have found certain websites (my company's webmail, for example) that show up fine when I'm on a wifi connection, but come in blank when I'm using a GPRS/HSPDA connection. I'm guessing it's either a proxy setting or a Pocket IE registry setting that is causing this, but I have nothing really to back that guess. Is there anything that can be done to let me see the websites on both connections?
When you connect to WiFi, are you at home or at work? Is it possible you are trying to connect to a site that can only be reached via the "privileged" WiFi connection you are using?
If you can connect via WiFi and not via phone...
a) You do not have the correct Carrier data profile connections installed for GPRS.
b) You have re-flashed you rom and suffered a)....!!!
c) You have lost data links and java access to sites. Install Java, or re-flash your operator and stick with the cheap option you purchased!!!
d) Check for the network setup wizard (on this forum) and go to your carriers website to check the settings.
Thanks for the replies guys...
@dunneldeen: that's a good thought, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be limited on which wifi connection - in other words, I can connect regardless of the wifi area (airport, home, coffee shop, etc.) so that's not the problem.
@Farsquidge: I'm not sure if I'm understanding right. I can hit most websites and see them fine over GPRS, just a few certain ones don't show up - thus, I don't think it's my carrier settings. Option C seems like a potential candidate, I'll try installing Java and see what happens, and I'll report back if successful.
Thanks!
Err. Please don't forget you are using 'Pocket IE' not full blown IE and it will report that back via cookie to whatever site you are on and they will send you the cut-down version.
Download the trial for Opera (Not the mini version) for Windows Mobile.
In it's setup you can set it to report as PC.
Yeah, I figured it was a Pocket IE problem. It just seems strange that it works on wifi fine but not GPRS: does it send different cookies thru wifi than GPRS?
Err.. Actually, ya caught me out there but hopefully I can go back to my previous post and say you have lost your carrier profile for net access!
I cannot access any webpages using my tilt I only get the message "cannot connect with current connection settings" no matter what webpage. What exactly am I to change the settings to? I'm using a Linksys Speedboost with WPA2 security. The Tilt is picking up my network so I hit connect. When I look under Settings/Connection/Wifi I see my network but its just says "connecting" all the time. Shouldn't it say "connected"? Then I checked the Wireless LAN I see me network and the signal strength is full. What gives? I've disabled all the ATT data connections with the NoData program. I've also cleared all history and done a soft reset. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I presume you have tried removing from and adding the network to your Kaiser. And I presume you have rebooted your Kaiser and router without any effect?
Were you able to connect to other networks in the past? Have you changed any settings recently that might have caused the problem (by accident)? Have you tried the different power modes?
The problem might not be your Kaiser; it wouldn't be the first time it had something to do with the router itself.
Have you upgraded your router with the latest firmware? Is MAC-filter security enabled?
Just thinking...
Yes I've tried removing and letting the phone find the network again to no avail. I'll try again when I get home. The phone and router have both been rebooted also to no avail. I've never been able to connect. Just got the phone late last week. Not familiar with changing power modes so I haven't tried that. The router does have the latest firmware. I've see a few other networks besides mine listed. Several of them said unavailable and I'm not sure what that means.
Well deleted all the networks to let the phone fin them again. Now it says connected but still will not bring up any web pages.
Sorry to say, but I have no direct solution to your problem. So let's troubleshoot your problem.
Download and run VxUtil. The tool can be found here:
ftp://ftp.cam.com/cambridge/win/vxUtil.zip
Open the .zip file and install "vxUtil.ppc3_arm.CAB" to your Kaiser. Leave the rest of the cabs.
Try to ping your router, other computers on the network and internet sites. See what the results are and if there is a difference between LAN and WAN adresses.
If you own a Tilt, you could also try to remove the hidden proxy. Fix it by installing the folowing .cab found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=71206&d=1203325282
If it wouldn't help, you can restore the proxy here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=71207&d=1203325282
Have you already tried another brower? Like Opera mini? Find it here:
http://www.operamini.com/
Or you could try the 'full' version found here:
http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/
Let's hope you find the solution or at least a lead.

are you sure that you are using the "right" encryption? perhaps you have wpa2
(tkip or aes) and the device checks only wpa? or you enter the wrong password in
wep, then the connection looks like it is established, but you can do nothing with it!
just a thought...
yep

hello...yep..everything is entered correctly..as i say ive been setting them up for years..this one connects fine..have all the boxes ticked but cant actually use the internet..works fine on all my other wm units
Stupid question tbh but I see this sort of thing every day nearly..
Your subnet is the same as the router yes? Does dhcp allocate one out to you or have u got a static ip on the phone?
Despite being connected to the wifi access without being on the same network you will not gain net access.
Who is your carrier for cell service? If you're on AT&T, and you've run an auto-setup CAB file for your cellular network settings, then you may need to double check your connection and proxy settings. Usually the solution is to select the correct network connection and NOT try to use your carriers proxy when you're connected via Wifi.
If you ARE on AT&T, then do this... Go to Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections > Advanced tab > Select Networks button. Set both drop down entries to MEdiaNet... for most this will have NO adverse impact (assumes you have a data plan too). OK to save selections.
Now go back to those MEdiaNet drop down selections. Edit either one of them. Go to the Proxy Setting tab. Uncheck the second box indicating this network connection uses a proxy. OK the settings... enjoy non-proxied Internet freedom via Wifi.
If you're not on AT&T, maybe the same proxy issue could be present. But I couldn't help you with your settings. Hope this helps.

hey..thank you for having little think about it..but im in the uk..t-mobile and those settings having nothing to do really with connecting to my wifi at home..except tell my phone it can..which i did..
all the settings are correct...exactly the same settings im using on other wm devices but when they say its connected i can actually do something..rather than on the diamond where it says its connected but doesnt allow me
ive set the phone up identical to another wm6 phone in every way..that connects fine and i can use my wifi ..this phone i cant
Have you tried connecting to a different wifi router, a friend or whatever?
If you can connect there, then that narrows down the problem to your settings, or your router, or the router setup
Do you know anyone else with a Diamond that could try to see if they could connect to your router?
If they can connect but you can't then you could take a look at their connections. Or it could mean a faulty device. If they can't connect either, then this will give you some clues.
I'm assuming that you've deleted the connection and reformed it. Did you choose work or the internet? Have you tried changing that.
Have you tried changing the Authentication to Shared?
Each time you make a change you need to let it 'set' for a few seconds and then reboot.
Can you connect to the internet via Activesync pass-through?
Sorry, that's all I can think of at the moment. If something else occurs to me I'll post back.
Hi.. I'm not sure if this will help or if you already have tried it.
But I had the same problem and the solution was this:
Pres start -> Settings -> Connection -> Wireless Lan -> power mode
Now use best settings, instead of battery save. ( Im not sure if the translation is 100% right. Translated from danish Diamond)
At the start I couldn't load any pages with Wi-fi, though there was no problem with the connection from the router. But now it works like a charm

This was the solution for me
I have had the same problem Imy phone even should be picked up by the repair centre then as a last try someone gave me the idea to change the leaver at wireless lan/energymodus to the left (best conection) and whala, I have tried it later whit my phone almost on the wirelesspoint to set it to best batterymode but not even at the middle it would do anything, it says conected but no data is comming to the phone, just when the leaver is at his almost left it will work.
Good luck.

-Data connections via UMTS or GPRS do work?
-Go and try another router of a friend or internetcafe.

yep gprs works fine..looking in the wifi i have all the mac address ip speeds blah blah you could ever wish wish for..just as you would expect if it was connected..which it says it it..but only associated lol
Hi,
I have a problem with the GPRS and Wireless connection. I am using Windows Live mail and and set it up so it is manually synchronized! Same with other mail accounts.
But, every time I connect to the internet using wireless and then press Send/Recieve, it keeps opening GPRS and use it to retrieve new e-mails and ignores my wireless connection!!! Which is really annoying.
How do I fix that?
I have exactly the same... but then with internet sharing with my laptop... keeps using my gprs/3g instead off the wifi that is 100 times faster.
annoying
and it is really annoying as you said, it is much faster with wifi and for people like me where I do not have monthly GPRS data included, it's really annoying and costs a lot.
Earlier, I had my e-mail to automatically download new emails daily and suddenly, I got a huge phone bill because of that problem!! So, e-mails are downloaded manually now until I fix the problem!!
You can find the answer here:

Newer Windows Live always tries to connect using your default Internet Connection even when you are already online. To solve this, you need to go to:
Start->Settings->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks. Change everything to My Work Network.
With this, Windows Live won't try to connect when you have active internet connection. The problem now is, if you have no active internet connection, it will force your device to connect to your gprs/3g but will fail to work. You will need to reset the setting above to your gprs/3g connection.
yes but
Yes but chaning preferences for my network would result in not having my mms working, or gprs when I need it?
However, I have to go back to settings and change everything again to get things to work!!!! I would rather have a solution than a workaround
not working

Anyone help, i'm unable to connect to internet via wifi. Phone sees my network and connects but then i can't view any web sites or even the market. I have tried forgetting the network and rebooting phone, it then finds wifi network i put in password, it connects, but then same. My laptop connects with no problems. Any ideas most welcome.
Backup data >> Factory reset phone .
jje
Thanks jje, phone is new to me, whats best way to back up. Phone came locked so i had to get it unlocked, If i do do a factory reset will it return to locked version or still be unlocked
The best way for the backup is to use Titanium Backup, you will find a free version on the market. You can backup all Apps and Systems Settings. It is easy to use and works very well with my SGS.
Thanks again, looked at titanium on the market, looks good, but it says i need to root phone which i'm not brave enough to do, any other good backup apps out there.
If you don't root your phone, you won't be able to do backups with data. Your best shot is to backup apps via file manager (ES File Manager, File Expert...) but then the Market won't update them anymore.
