WiFi internet issue on WM6

[EclipsedMotions]

I`ve got a T-Mobile MDA with WM6 and I cannot access the internet through WiFi. The access point that I connect to is working cause I am able to access the net fine on my laptop. I made sure that my network cards are set to connecte to the internet. I even did a softreset after I made the changes.

My internet explorer just sits there on locating. I am not sure if its just my WiFi card configured incorrectly within WM6 or if its a reg setting that isn't set right.

If anyone had this issue before and got it fixed let me know or give me some direction to start.. thanks in advance for your help.

This is a fairly common problem. For me disabling the Wireless G option in the registry did the trick:

Registry: HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS
Key: dot11SupportedRateMaskG
Value: 1

[EclipsedMotions]

so I diabled it, soft restet, verified that the reg change sticked, which it did. I tried to access the net again with no go. :(

[bandersnatch]

I have the exact same problem.

[bandersnatch]

I tried the G fix. Didn't work. Funny thing. It started when I installed MB. Downgrading DIDN'T fix it.

[ZeroXtreme]

Try setting the the Network Card to connect to "The Internet" instead of "Work"

[EclipsedMotions]

they are set to that.. :(

[bandersnatch]

That actually worked for me. (The Internet instead of work fix) I also made sure that all the boxes for "Server assigned IP address were checked. I could have sworn I tried that already. I wonder if it will stay "fixed". I'm due for a soft reset...seems to be working. I've been thinking all along it was some stupid setting.

check the change your dns to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 this may fix your problem

Changing to Internet and setting the DNS doesn't seem to help. Funny thing is, GMail via Midlet Manager seems to work (maybe its doing GPRS?). But IE just spins at Locating...

although i have the older version of t-mobiles' mda (wm5), i had similar issues connecting to the net even it sees a lot of wireless aps. either i cannot hold a steady connection or cannot connect at all. the solution i had was changing the channel on my wireless ap and updating my mda's parameters for my local wireless security. now i can go to the web using my mda even with poor signal quality. It is possible that you have several wireless ap's at your location sharing the same channel. hopefully changing the channel solves your problem.

[trojan9x]

simple possible solution, but check the proxy settings? I know with cingular, many people had trouble browsing the internet due to the MediaNet proxy settings. they removed the proxy settings and everything was fine then.

[golfernutnflorida]

There is a known issue with your rom your running...there has been a new release. check the MB thread and you will see a recent listing about a 6 and 4 mb page pool, the wifi has been fixed.

I have the original MB edition and I do not have any wireless problems. I know he had to fix the re-released versions as the wifi did not work with them initially, but I was unaware of a wifi problem with the initial release.

[soylent]

Hey everybody, still loving this phone and its diversity, but have flashed this little piece of hardware with the mb 4mb/6mb wm6 rom only to find that WIFI can't even be turned on!. And yes I've downed the fixed versions from a certain forum. When I turn on WIFI, It just gives the symbol in the top straight away. It just can't find the networks. I even manually added a network, it then tries to find it, but simply can't. WEIRD hey.

Is there a solution for this problem, cause I really, like the look and feel of the wm6 roms over the wm5 roms.

bye all and thanks in advance for the kind replies.

[trojan9x]

Did you try using WiFiFoFum at all to see if it can find networks? I have not had any issues with WiFi with the Most Beautiful edition whatsoever. Only thing I notice is that when the machine first turns on or right after a soft reset that I need to click the comm manager icon for wifi twice before wifi will turn on. Otherwise it finds and connects to networks perfect.

[thomas.iseli]

i have no problem to connect to my homenetwork with WIFI, but i cannot access the internet with the internet explorer. but it works perfect with the opera browser!

[chowchow1678]

hmmm..
It's weird...
I never access the internet with the internet explorer even my wifi was connected successfully while I brushed wm6 rom.

A miracle has happened Today.
I install a WIFI Device for WM5, that one is simple Chinese language.
I tried to turn on the wifi but not work. :mad:
Then I uninstall it -> restar....

Then I tried one more time to turn on wifi, ok, it's work to connect but still can't open the web page.
I check the wireless lan, switch the power save mode to best performance.
Then....I can open web page???? :eek:
Wow~~ I don't know it work cause the wifi device change something or just swtich to best performance.
Maybe you guys can try. ;)

(Sorry to reading my poor English)

Same exact issue. Pocket IE doesn't work, Opera does. Did you figure it out or get it corrected yet?

[dmetzcher]

oops, double-posted

[dmetzcher]

Also having an issue with MMS messages not sending. They just sit in the outbox and go nowhere.
And, clicking the message puts it into the drafts folder (moves from outbox to drafts). Clicking it in the drafts folder, however, does not allow me to edit the message.

1. Is there a fix for the message not sending? I am on Cingular's network, with an 8125.

2. Is the inability to edit the message normal behavior? I cannot remember from when I was using the standard Cingular ROM that came with the device.

I know it's trying to send the MMS message, because I turned on a sound alert for "Messaging: Sending MMS" in the settings. It goes off a few times over the course of a few minutes, but the message never actually sends.

Most likely your MMS settings aren't setup. The way I do this is go to Cingular's website and lookup the MMS settings stuff.

I don't believe that is normal. Faria's WM6 ROM was the first time I saw this behavior (but I'm not sure I tried it on WM6 MBE).

You were right about the settings not being correct. Thanks for the link. I have configured it properly now. I used the settings in the link and sent two messages...one to myself, and one to another phone. Both sent, but neither has been received after 5 minutes. Perhaps it takes longer. I thought it was faster when I used it before.

I know someone else was having the drafts issue as well, because I remember reading it, but I cannot find the post now. It was the same issue that I described, however.

[keethar]

I've tried most available WM6 roms (mb, faria, molski, mUn, Underground, PDAMobiz) and in none of them the wifi seems to work.
My VPA compact 2 does not detect ad-hoc networks and fails to connect to detected AP networks. With the T-mobile Rom all goes smoothly. :confused:
I'll try the reg-tweak at the start of this thread.

Laterz!
:o

[keethar]

No luck with the reg-tweak, I'm starting to think that only VPAcII has this problem. Altough it worked with T-mobile 2.26 ROM, no WM6 rom offered me wifi operability.

On mUn-rom, I used wififofum and it finds infrastructure AP but no ad-hocs. No connection can be made with the infrastructure APs, it just starts to connect, fails and then switches to the next AP.

Man, I hope this gets fixed cause I like WM6.

[keethar]

Problem solved!:D

Used the fixed version of the Most Beatiful ROM and everything is working fine now.

I tried the new MB. Going back to WM5 for now. Its a shame because I liked so much about WM6. Not many people seem concerned about this. I guess most people don't use wifi.

[mfrazzz]

I'm typing this on my Wizard over WiFi right now. I'm running NotTooSmart's Vanilla. I've had no WiFi problems on the newer WM6 roms (never got wifi to work on MBE).

I am using MBE and apparently there is something with the encryption settings for Wi-Fi. My home AP is set up with WPA-PSK encryption, and my mda won't even see the AP. My brother's AP is set up with no encryption whatsoever, and I can connect and surf the net on my mda without any problems. strange.

[futangclan]

i had the same problem. i couldn't figure it out until i went to settings -> connections -> advanced -> select network and made sure "My ISP" was selected for both. I am using Cingular, btw.

just checked my device, I did not have "my ISP" selected on both options... I'm at work now, can't wait to get home and try it out!

[bandersnatch]

Thanks much. The MY ISP setting on the advanced page seems to have fixed it. I still have to disconnect from GPRS on occasion or PIE doesn't want to locate the page.

Go to programs > proxy manager

Diable Proxy Manager

Not sure what the proxy manager does but disabling it worked.

[bachikho]

i use OEM Pack v3.7 with 318 OS v3.6 but sometimes i get an error: i can only start my PIE after a soft reset, what's wrong and what can i do?

[gizmo2431]

same problem... pie just keeps on "locating" and doesn't open the page on my wifi connection... using NBD v9.1... ideas?

[swedbass]

Make sure that when you either create the network or enter the passkey, you set that the network connects to the internet and not work.

Little settings like this is one reason WM is frustrating and I'll get an iPhone as soon as it becomes 3G...

[Dain]

Well, I am another WLAN sufferer. After the initial flash to WM6 its never worked again. Back on T-Mobile's WM5 right now and it still won't even turn on. Get the windows loading icon but the WLAN stays off...

[vrso2]

i have had same problem twice :) Iwas always getting hard attack :)
But, always fixed :)

There is all about PROXY settings.


Go

start>settings>connections>connections>

click Advanced>select networks

first one should be t-mobile. Click edit>proxy settings and mark just first checked. Hit OK

Go secound connection place should show My Work Network and go edit>proxy settings
All should be unmarked.

Click ok, ok, ok .... Restart and try. Plz, unplug device form USB.

Let me know how's work :)

[Dain]

Well my setting were just as you explained and mine still does not turn on.
