i would but seems like no one has bothered to help out in other threads either

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

cant connect..looking at lan settings..
status - Associated to network
it shows connected but status only associated..please tell me when the smeg is going on with this darn diamond before i through it against the wall !!!

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.

-Have you analyzed your router's log already?
-What is set under Start => Settings => Connections => Connections => Advanced => Choose Networks (translated it, not sure about the exact words)?
-Data connections via UMTS or GPRS do work?
-Go and try another router of a friend or internetcafe.

Webtop Tether Bypass

If you want to use the webtop browser without a tethering plan you can try the following:
1. Install and enable Proxoid (a http proxy) http://code.google.com/p/proxoid/
2. Set the Webtop Firefox proxy to localhost, port 8080
3. Browse the internet without limits
The only thing i have not figured out how to do is get rid of the popup that says "Verifying AT&T account status for webtop...", it eventually goes away but is annoying none the less. If anyone knows what process is responsible for that perhaps we can manually kill it.

Wait... you need tethering for BOTH docks simply to open the browser?!

Help with proxoid
Can u please give a step by step for this

unless you use WiFi, you need tethering.

Yea if you follow that post and change the APN it will also eventually let you use the browser. The only trouble is while that message says "Checking your AT&T account..." it wont work. You have to wait for that message to time out and disappear.
The proxy method is just a way to avoid waiting for that message every time you start webtop.

i guess this would only apply to the people with the laptop dock.....my hd dock i use wifi anyways.

i have an iphone unlimited plan (switching from iphone4, may switch back), and did the APN change for the tethering. That works great, webtop keeps trying to check my plan and gets denied. My guess is you dont have an unlimited data plan so tethering is enabled.

This is tremendously helpful for me.
I am also on the unlimited plan and don't want to change to the tether plan but hate having to be on wifi to use the webtop firefox.
Its working well for me.
Great find.

And this is why I'm seriously thinking of selling my ipad for the dock. Seriously.
Rooted/ROM Captivate

does this proxoid method work with the laptop dock? you don't have to change apn settings, can keep the default in place? Wondering if this is a safer route to go if it works.

What happens if you attempt to use the dock on 3/4G without a tethering plan?
I have gon into the phone and edited the Default telephony .db with wap.cingular APN settings. So now the default connection that the phone falls back to IS the wap.cingular settings.
I get a message from webtop that says its verifying tethering on my acct, but then the message disapears and the browser allows me online.
The .db i modified was data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
I midified the settings for #4 AT&T HSDPA, which is the APN that the phone defaults to, and webtop uses.
It also does the same now when i use wifihotspot. It turns on, gives error that i do not have the feature enabled on my acct, then still lets me usee wifihotspot feature.
edit: I've attatched the modified telephony.db. Rename the files ext to "db" without quotes. This was the only way i could upload - as i am on Webtop right now. push the file to the directory i listed above. --try at your own risk-- I would verify with SQLite that the integrity of the file is still intact aft you rename it back to telephony.db
please let me know if this works for anyone else, as it has worked for me.

A smart thing to do would also be replacing ALL instances of isp.Cingular or broadband in that list in the 310 mmc range to wap.cingular or phone.

True .. but while in Webtop, i checked the connected APN, and it is still ATT HSDPA.

Then could we be missing something that may be programmed into the webdock?

The proxy method works great. Thank you very much for the info!

att still thinks im on iphone4 as well, unlimited plan, proxiod works perfect.
i opened a term window and did a
ps > psb4.txt
and then turned wifi off and did a
ps > psafter.txt
and im going to see if i can find the process that is the window that wont go away so we can kill it.
ill let you know my findings
killster

Can someone give more specific instructions please, including setting up from firefox on the webtop? Also when using the proxoid mehod did u also change apn settings or leave them alone?
NEVERMIND, figured out what to do. Proxoid rules! No tethering contract required, no changing my APN, and no losing my unlimited data. happy camper here.

[Q] GSM + WIFI hotspot How to make it work?

Hi, I have not been able to find much info on getting this to work, I'm in New Zealand. My Partners Phone will not connect to mine it tries but seems to fail at getting the IP address, I am using the stock App, same problem with PDAnet+
Things I have Discovered/tried, through searching here and googling:
The TBH Radio Hack is not For GSM.
I have setup an APN with Type "dun" still no good
Seems there are some people in Europe and Australia with it working?
Can any one tell me if this can be made to work? if so how?
Is there a connection log file etc. that may tell me what is going wrong?
Perhaps I have setup the APN incorrectly...
Thanks.

I can tether on gsm fine. Just have dun in the apn, the stock app seems to have dhcp issues, try 'wifi tether for root' from the market if rooted. You can also try setting the ip manually on the client device if not rooted using the stock app.
I think the default gateway is 192.168.42.1 I could be wrong. You can change this in stock app. An example for a config would be:
Ip- 192.168.42.100
Subnet- 255.255.255.0
Gateway- 192.168.42.1
Dns1- 8.8.8.8
Dns2- 8.8.4.4
The 42 may be different, 1 is default for most wireless routers, 0 is default for wired ones, and 2 is default for wifi tether for root.
A note about wifi tether for root, gateway is 192.168.2.254 instead of 2.1.
In android, to set manually, go to wifi setting > press menu button > advanced > check static ip > set as required using example as guide > turn on wifi and connect. Ensure data works, if not verify settings.

Hi, thanks for your reply, tried this program and still wont stay connected. I was Pinging the gateway during one of the connection attempts and got back 3 good pings then it just disconnects.
But I suspect that the problem is peculiar to my phone. as I have two other Droid 3's here and they both work with 'wifi tether for root' now that I have tried them. One Did not even Have an APN with dun set up (perhaps it is not needed.)
Next thing I'll try is a Factory Reset of mine, perhaps there is something that I have F'ed up on it, Unless someone can suggest something else to try? The wifi works normally other wise.

[Q] [SOLVED] Network works, but no data - Help me please <3

Hi guys.
Sorry for the weird title haha.
Alright, so i just got a HTC One M8 with Windows, and it seems to work fine on regular network (calling, texting etc.) but i cannot for the life of me get data working.
I've set the APN correctly and it shows H+, but webpages do not load.
Have anyone experienced anything like it before?
There is some options i change in Service Tools (##778#) that could look like it could do something. I really hope anyone can help me :')

*My carrier is Denmark Telia
APN:
Name: Telia
Proxyserver: www.internet.mtelia.dk
Port: 80

Presumably WiFi works? Make sure you're not on a (flaky) WiFi connection - turn WiFi off entirely for testing - and also make sure the phone doesn't think you're roaming or something dumb like that.
If you haven't done so already, you should of course restart (or at least toggle Airplane Mode on and off again).
Have you called your carrier for help with this? At a guess, you've put the APN in wrong; there should be something in the APN string (it usually looks like a domain name, for example mine is fast.t-mobile.com), and most carriers that I've used do *not* require a proxy server.

I had tried the things you mentioned, but never thought about the proxy server thing. So I put the APN URL in the APN field (instead of proxy server) and it works now

I hope you live a happy and fulfilling life :'D

WIFI Tether Router now works

I've used WIFI Tether Router for several phones with great success.
I know all about the adding of ,dun to apns
But if you already have root Wifi Tether Router does not need any mods. It might also works on CDMA (roaming), where the ,dun trick does not.
It also might be less traceable by sprint.

I think these are the only changes needed from default. I so happen to use no encryption (i.e. Open) and channel = 1 which I think is default.
Interface wlan0
method 2
firmware reload unchecked
I think everything else is default.
If you scroll to bottom of Configuration there is a Link to "devices configurations/website"
I had the Native tether working too and I removed the ",dun" mod from my APN's to test this.
Mine shows Build 165
Does SuperUser pop up to grant permission?
It might not work on roaming (CDMA), same limitation as the Native mod (i.e. adding ,dun).

Who-Hoo Wifi Tether Router works on roaming (i.e. works on non Sprint CDMA Networks). The adding of ,dun to APN's method only works on Sprint Networks (i.e. LTE and eHPRD). WIFI Tether Router works on everything. But you do need root.
Tested on rooted ZV6.

can someone please explain how to add ,dun to apn? ive looked online and see lines of provisional code being added. this was on a tmobile nexus 6 and i wasnt sure if thats the way for all phone. thanks in advance!

There is a video specific to the Sprint phone, where the guy walks through the steps one by one showing each step and result to add the dun info, though I don't recall if it was specifically the apn info that was modified?
Anyway, you need an app that can create shortcuts for hidden features of the phone, as explained on the guide. Install that app, that allows you to run the program built into the phone that lets you edit the thing to add the dun text and save it.
Sorry I don't recall the details, but it's another thread here about free wifi tether or hotspot.

Which hotspot method, Native (with ,dun added to APN's) or WIFI Tether Router?
I saw similar issue when trying to tether on Ev-Do it will connect for a moment and disconnect.
The APN method will not work on Ev-Do (usually that means roaming but not always).
Latest WIFI Tether Router will work on Ev-Do but requires root.

I am having an issue with wifi tether router where it will connect for a while and then the wifi signal will stop on its own. I have to kill and restart wifi tether router to regain a connection. I am wondering if this is a heating problem as the phone gets fairly hot when using wifi tether router. Is there a way to reduce the wifi radio power on the G4?

Uncheck "Allow Wifi Scanning" in advanced wifi settings. Should stop the signal from going away.

So just had something weird happen want to see if anyone else ran into this. I just reset for the month yesterday and My Metro app is showing 1.3 gigs used (all tethered with app). While playing Xbox I get a message saying I have used all of my hotspot data. I checked data usage on Xbox I haven't even used a gig yet. Also they didn't throttle my data. Anyone know what's going on?
