at the bottom, you can see advance option then look for hidden network and choose yes. Pie update does it that option.

this issue need to be fixed

When I received my new Mi A2 (Global) with 10.0.9.0 installed I was able to connect to hidden networks right out of the box. Later after updating to 10.0.10.0 hidden networks broke when newly defined. If I had one previously defined it will work, however if you remove it and attempt to redefine it again it will not work.

has anyone found the solution?

the solution here is to downgrade to previous version

Solved: I have the same issue, I chose "forget network", then added it again checking the "hidden network" option, after that I restarted my device, and went to "saved network", chose my network SSID and clicked on "connect", and it finally connected!

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

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.

WPA2-EAS logon problem...HELP!

Dear All,
I am Eko, a new member here. First of all thank you for accepting me join this forum.
To main point: I just bought HTC S730 a week ago. I was quite happy with the phone. Unfortunately I can not use it to connect into the WLAN network in my office. The WLAN setting is WPA2-EAS-PEAP with Deutsche Telekom CA2 certificate, which I have installed in the phone. Some how I can not get the log-on screen to come out (where I should put my user name and password). I have talked with technician in my office, but they can not do anything. I even send mail directly to HTC, but I haven't receive any feedback yet .
To make it even worst, my wife use SGH i 600 and she can easily connect to the WLAN (and she is very proud with her phone, eventhougt it's one year older).
Could some one please tell me how to solve this problem, it's just really annoying because the main reason I bought the phone is because its WLAN ability and somehow I can not use it.
Thank you in advance. Look forward to hear from you.
-Eko-
There is no such thing as EAS. I'll take it you mean AES, which is a wireless encryption standard.
If you go to start > settings > connections > wlan > wi-fi > add new and then manually enter the information needed.
Verification WPA2, Data Encryption AES, make sure to check the box that you'll get the key automatically. Next. Make sure that the checkbox 'use 802.1x network access control' is checked. In the box below, choose PEAP.
I do not see an option to enter a username there either, but you can (and should) use a client certificate.
What happens if you leave it at PEAP and connect anyway? Wouldn't it open a dialog box asking for username/password/domain?
Dear Spone1,

I have done all of those. The network requires Deutsche Telekom Root CA 2 certificate which I have installed.

Wireless problems

I have flashed my Qtek 9090 to WM6.5.5_23529_eng.
It detects the wireless networks but when I try to configure the networK, ny home wireless is configured to WPA2-PSK encryption AES on my Qtek only appears WPA-PSK on data encryption only appears TKIP.
that is not rom dependant. the most secure encryption the BA supports is wpa-psk, no aes, no wpa2. if you want to integrate the ba in your network you'll need to set you access point's settings down. also make sure, that you have wi-fi b/g simulcast, wi-fi g only also won't work.
Wireless problems 2
Hello, I've also flashed my blue angel with WM6.5.5_23529_eng and wireless do not work neither, while is was working with W2003 before flashing (so no hardware problem). Please note that same settings work with other 2 angels: w2003 & w6.1 and router is at home. Settings are:
infrastructure
wpa-psk
tkip
key is 26 chars alpha
These settings also work with a laptop and a netbook.
Do you have an idea to solve this?
Thanks for all your help
what exactly is the problem?
is the wi-fi not turning on?
does it not find the network?
or does it not connect?
or does it connect, but you cannot access the network/internet?
Wireless problems - details
Hello Chef Tony,
here are details:
go to Windows-Settings-WiFiMGR-Advanced and Status is "Wireless LAN OFF".
go to Windows-Settings-Connections-Wireless Managers shows Wireless ON.
go to Windows-Settings-Connections-WiFi: "Turn on Wi-Fi" is selected go to Advanced
see my SSID name, tap on it, verify name (next), authentication is "WPA-PSK", data encrytion is TKIP, password is ok (next) everything is grey, (finish)
WiFi say my SSID is unavailable, tap on Connect, never connects.
Go to IE, cannot connect to any site which is normal.
It never show to me a list of available connetions, neither seem to connect to the one defined.

Explain (step by step) how you are turning wifi on (I have a feeling I know what the issue is)
ok, let me Explain (step by step) how do i turn wifi on:
go to Windows-Settings-Connections-Wireless Manager - it presents with Comm Manager and Wireless symbol is OFF, so I tap on it, it becomes ON.
now go to WiFi settings, "Turn on Wi-Fi" case is selected, tap on "Wireless Networks" and see my already defined network name which says "Unavailable".
Tap on this network, verify name is ok, on next screen authentication & encryption are ok, as well as password and then tap on Finish.
If I tap on Connect, my network seems to try connecting but it does not an the end.
Does it seem clear to you? I do not know what am i doing wrong, sorry.
thanx for your help

I knew that you were doing that After a soft or even a hard reset, you do not turn on wifi via CommMgr. When you are in CommMgr, you go into Wireless Settings directly and turn it on through there "Turn Wireless On" option, and you get out. This will enable the driver, you only have to do this once and then you can use CommMgr as usual. Try it out and good luck!

[Q] wifi hidden network ?

cant get my captivate to connect to my hidden network. I set up the wifi on the phone and the key with my network un-hidden and it connects immediately. but with my network hidden it says that the network is out of range. New to android my last phone WM 6.5 had a "this network is hidden" button to tick and worked just fine. cant find an option like that on my captivate.

If the router has MAC addresses restricted it will not have the new phone in the authorized list. In order for me to use the wifi network at my daughter's house I have to install my new phone's mac address into the router's mac table.
Frank
thx Frank but no its set for a wep key. when the router is un-hidden the IP and wep key work and i conect right way but when the SSID is hidden the phone cant find it and I cant figure out a way to tell the phone that its hidden.
That's weird my wifi is hidden with wep security and Mac address to allow and mine connects fine. I'm using a Linksys wrt110 router

just checked to make sure and yep mac filter is diabled so thats not it. its a linksys wrt54gs if that helps any
Try installing the HiddenSSID Enabler app form the market. People seem to get positive results.
Thx I'll try that and report late tonight

I have my wireless network simply set not to broadcast, so it doesn't show up when scanning for wifi. I clicked ADD A NETWORK, typed in the network name, username and password and there we go. Don't know if that would have worked for you.
no i tried just entering the ssid and key but it would never find it just keept saying that the network was unavaiable it would keep the settings but just couldnt find the router. but i downloaded the hidden ssid app and it works great now.
hmm
I just installed hiddenssid enabler and I am having an issue with not being able to connect at all.... I attempted to add the network manually first typing in the ssid and WPA2 key (copied and pasted to be sure i had the right key) and it says unable to find wireless network so I found this thread and installed the hiddenssid app from the marketplace when I type in the name of my network and click enable hidden SSID a dialog pops up and says WARN not found SSID 'nameOfNetwork' and I have tried several times typing it in to no avail any other suggestions?
Enable ur wifi then go into the hidden ssid app. Make sure you have the spacing and capitalization exactaly right for the ssid or it wont work
Yeah I did have my wifi enabled. when I enabled broadcasting on my router it immediately connected but this is not the solution I am looking for.... Not sure what else I can try I tried another wifi app wifi buddy couldn't get that to help either
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
only thing i can tell you is to check the capitalization when u enter the ssid into hiddenSSID i have to rember to capitalize mine or it wont find the router

Are you positive that wifi tethering works? I'm on 32002 too, I can connect but internet doesn't work. Niether any of market solutions. I use Open Garden which use bluetooth connection.
Kept meaning to make a thread like this. Wifi tethering not working here either - gives connection to the connected device but no internet (local connection only).
Tested with Win 8 PC, Win 7 laptop, 2 other android phones, nexus 7 tablet.
I have the same issue here. I enable WiFi Hotspot, then I just get "Mobile Data Link Lost". Motorola have just suggested I do a factory reset - I haven't got around to trying that, yet.
Not going to do that for something that didn't work out if the box on an unmodified device.
Is everyone here still able to use internet on phone while tethered? Only the connected device has no internet?
Sent from my XT890 using xda premium
So far I have used it only for my wifi kindle, and it works.
Will test it with other gadgets when I'm at work again.
Update: tried with a NetBook and an iPhone, both worked like a charm.
I had the same issue ("mobile data link lost"), and solved it by changing the APN settings. Although settings vary from carrier to carrier, here is what i did: i changed the APN type from "default" to "default, dun". Hotspot and usb tethering works fine eversince.

j4nosf, thank you! I really appreciate you signing up and posting this! For me, I it didn't work straight away, but you certainly pointed me right at the problem!
So to fix it, I went Settings -> More... -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names, then I pressed the name of the APN with a dot by it, edited it's "APN type". I tried setting "default, dun", but it didn't work. I opened up another APN on my phone and copied it's type - setting it to this (no spaces) worked:
default,supl,dun,hipri
I have no idea what it does, but it sure solved my issue. This is great - thank you Anyone else with a Razr I who keeps getting "Mobile Data Link Lost" when enabling wifi hotspot / tether will sure be grateful...

I have the same problem with tethering. Can you please explain what exactly did you changed in your New APN so it worked for you ?
As I have read in some other forum the key thing is to somehow insert "dun" into the apn type. However, there is no universal solution since every carrier has its own apn settings. Therefore, you have to experiment like I and searbe did, and sooner or later you will find a way to get it work. As a first step, I would try to simply insert "dun" after the current apn type (i.e. if your apn type is "x", change it to "x, dun").
You may also try to contact your carrier, maybe they know the correct settings.
Good luck!

I tried setting "default, dun", but it didn't work. I opened up another APN on my phone and copied it's type - setting it to this (no spaces) worked:
default,supl,dun,hipri
I have no idea what it does, but it sure solved my issue. This is great - thank you Anyone else with a Razr I who keeps getting "Mobile Data Link Lost" when enabling wifi hotspot / tether will sure be grateful...
Cheers!

I had the same issue ("mobile data link lost"), and solved it by changing the APN settings. Although settings vary from carrier to carrier, here is what i did: i changed the APN type from "default" to "default, dun". Hotspot and usb tethering works fine eversince.
