Hi,
I've recently become an owner of HTC Touch Diamond and I've been able to set up everything except wi-fi. I've tried to look everywhere in settings, I've searched for a solution on the internet but even though it seems I'm not the only person with this problem, nobody was able to give a certain solution.

The problem seems to be in secured Wi-Fi networks because when I try to connect to open network, it works fine, but whenever I try to connect to one of my home routers (WPA-PSK, TKIP) or at school (WPA, TKIP, 802.1X) it just says connecting... connecting... and then it goes not available and I can try it again but it never succeeds. I've tried all different kinds of options, nothing changed. One strange thing is the fact that the first time I turned on my HTC, it worked, but that was just for once.

I'm using the last official ROM and I haven't made too many changes in configuration, I just used tweakers such as Diamond Tweak, Diamond TF3D Config and Advanced Config to adjust some behavior.

Please, can anyone help me out? Thanks.

i think it posibli an certificate error from your acces point, for example in spain at university we use eduroam, it is wpa2, with ttls, that is not suported by ms mobile, but we can install and use secure2w.

in house i use wpa and i not have any problem conecting to mi ap, check if this is the problem, alse try another rom with a new xip and newer os

We also have eduroam at school and actually I was able to install the certificate so that shouldn't be the problem, anyways I'll try to use the secure2w program you're talking about. It might help...

But still, it doesn't explain why I can't connect to my home router which is definitely supported security (WPA-PSK, TKIP) and why I was able to connect to it once and from then I haven't been to. As I said in my first post, I think I'm not the only person because I found a few people with similar problems on the internet but nobody was able to solve or at least detect the cause of the problem.

I just remembered that I should point out that there shouldn't be any problem with my router configuration (such as MAC filtering and so on), also it's not the only one my HTC doesn't want to connect to, generally it's any secured router.

My problem is solved. I don't really know the basic reason but it was caused by Advanced Configuration Tool where I set some options (Networking - WPA and something else) to default values (as it said) but that was wrong. You need to set it to the other value and then it works.

Hi,

I am sorry but I do not remember it exactly. I looked there and I think it was the option WPA authentication, I have it on disabled now. Try it. It really pain in the ass!

Haai there

Make sure your router permits your MAC address.

Thanks for the thread, it helped me find the problem I introduced with my 3-day-old Verizon HTC Touch Pro.
I'd installed .NET CF 3.5 (via a .cab file, not the ActiveSync) and the Advanced Configuration Tool and one of the tweaks I did was enable "WPA authentication". Sure seemed like a good idea. Turned out that's what kept my device from connecting to my home WPA/TKIP wifi network.
Disabling "WPA authentication" in the Advanced Configuration Tool cleared things up immediately. ... Well, immediately after the reboot anyway.

I reported on this issue in the Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool thread. The wording & logic are the wrong way around - what you think is enabling WPA is actually disabling it. I edited the .XML file and corrected this so mine looks OK now, however I don't think the original has ever been updated.

Its hard work searching on here but I did manage to find it:

Since there are other WPA2 settings that can be customised (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa916274.aspx) I updated the XML file I have so these settings are available.
