No problems here either I'm afraid. I'm using a Draytek Vigor 2600VG at home and at work there are two of us with XDA IIs using a Linksys BEFDSR41W wireless router and no problems there either.

Sorry! :-(

Try a hard reset (gulp!) and see if you still have problems (Without anything else installed that might be inteferring) otherwise might be a faulty unit perhaps.

I second what xanth said, I had the problem where wifi would not turn on, so I hard reset and installed each software back individually the problem was Calligrapher 7.3 did not like being in Storage or Storage Card only in Main memory (go figure)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] pebsuk:
I use the XDA IIs on a variety of wireless networks and experience problems with an alarming regularity. The most annoying is the fact that the top bar seems to loose functionality, when using wireless!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] xanth:
I will actually add that I do seem to have problem with the "range" of WiFi.

I need to do more testing, but it doesn't seem to be more than 20m or so before have communication issues/timing out :-( Will have to find out what our walls are made of!!!

I have problems connecting sometimes. I regularly use three routers, Draytek, Buffalo and Belkin. The only time that it locks up is when using skype. The skype problem is a known issue with no cure.

I am having a problem where my Siemens SX66 will loose connection to my Microsoft MN700 wireless AP on occasion. -It simply appears as if the Wifi radio shuts itself off.

Weird.....
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mb:
Wifi has never worked for me. It simply doesn't work in the way nature intended.

The main problem (as far as I can tell) seems to be that it cannot get DNS or IP configuration settings from my router (Belkin 7630) automatically.

It can connect to my wireless network without any hassle, but that's about it. If I enter DNS and IP settings manually it works fine. But this is unworkable if you want to connect to another wireless network.

If I can't sort this out by next week I'm going to sell the unit on eBay. It's been nothing but a pain since I mistakenly bought it in December.

Wifi is a nightmare on this device! I'm going back to Nokia.

WiFi

Hi guys,

Haven't had too many issues with WiFi over here - standard O2 Asia ROM (with the BT 3500 update).

I'm running a Netgear WG602 @ home with 64bit WEP and a Dlink AP2100 @ work with WPA-PSK. No connectivity problems at either location, both DHCP. It does however take a few minutes to connect, but this is on the odd occasion.

The only frustrating thing with the WiFi is that I have to soft-reset often to turn Wi-Fi on - any ideas? Hopefully O2 will fix this in the next ROM. Other than that, I've had the Nokia 9500, P900/800 and this is by far the best device for the power user.

Just me 2c!

Cheers

Wifi is on all the time on my device, sometimes when I switch the device on while within range of an AP it does not connect. Often switching wifi off and then onn again causes it to connect. If this does not work then I can often go into the network dialogue section, and see the network marked as 'availble' but not connected (why it sometimes does not auto connect I dont know). Tapping connect usually cures. If that does not work then I too need to soft reset.

I hope like you that they fix this cause its damned anoying. I will be interested to see what the Benq P50 is like when its released. I shall get one from expansys to test and ship it back within the 7 days.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] veletron:
As for those having problems with specific access points. It is not nessesarily the fault of the blue angel. It seems to me that none of the manufacturers of wireless kit understand the term 'standard' they all seem to have their own take on it, which is why kit from different manufacturers refuses to talk to each other. I am of the opinion that they do it in purpose to lock you into using their client cards with their AP's !!

Try it with some non Belkin kit and see what happens.

XDA IIi and wifi

I just bought one of these and can't get it connected. I have a netgear wg602 access point. When I finally figured out how to set the IP manually (the 02 xda tech support said it can't be done - maybe they're right ;-)

I now have it saying it's connected, with right IP address. My DNS and gateway are set up for the wireless adapter in network adapters. The signal is average. The XDA says wifi is connected. The access point even says it's authenticated and associated - same as my other stations.

Only problem is, internet explorer doesn't find any web pages - says "The page you are looking for cannot be found" (works fine through GPRS)

Also, terminal services times out trying to connect to an internal IP address (to eliminate DNS as a problem)

So, anyone know how I troubleshoot network problems - it looks like a TCP/IP issue? Can't find ping or arp etc. I've also tried an IP address that I know works on the network.

thanks for any help

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] veletron:
Hi

For ping, ipconfig and stuff, head to http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html

I have had multiple issues trying to get wifi working reliably. It still fails now, but there are a few tricks to get it working again. Most of my wifi issues have been due to regular use of three AP's 1@home and 2@work along with GPRS and VPN.

To start with I suggest setting all the ****e in connections (internet and home network to 'My ISP' then goto your wifi setup, network adapters, and tell it that the wireless card connects to the internet. Now, tap ok, and goto tools, network cards, tap the active connection (it must already be connected) and ensure that its set to internet.

Next soft reset the thing, and wait for it to connect to yr wifi. Now, use the ipconfig tool and ping tool from the above site to check that all is OK. Check that its got the default gateway right and a sensible LAN IP.

I have found on occasion that I can be connected via wifi, but that the device is still trying to talk using an old IP allocated by gprs which means nothing to my lan! IPconfig will show if all is OK.

Whoever wrote the whole of the networking system (and its terrible gui's) on windows mobile wants shooting. I usually have 2 VPN profiles setup under my work network. If I leave it set to that, and use wifi from my lan to connect to the internet all is fine. However if I try and access a local server, the damned thing starts trying to connect a vpn (it aint inteligent enough to work out that the IP I asked it to connect to is local).

I have been trying to find a setting for all this networking rubbish that allows me to do *everything* without reconfiguring each time - to no avail.

Another thing to note is that you cant send/receive MMS messages while wifi is connected (more stupidity), it tries to connect to the MMS server using the wifi connection, and the telco blocks it cause it wants to charge you for sending MMS over GPRS. Only solution is to disconnect wifi, send MMS then reconnect wifi!!!

No problems with WiFi for me

Hmm I'm using an O2 Asia Rom as well.. and my wifi manager seems to automatically create "settings" for each AP it detects and I seem to have no problems connecting at all... been using WiFi around my house since the first day i got it..

i am using a Linksys Wireless 802.11b router..

btw I am new here.. finally able to register! :D

How's everybody doing? :D

Cannot turn off IEEE 802.1x

Has anyone had problems unchecking the 'IEEE 802.1x netwrok access control' checkbox???

I uncheck it, but then when I go back to the screen (click on the connection | then select 802.1x tab at the bottom) it has checked itself again!

The XDA IIs does not save the setting - it just keeps re checking itself 02 help have been no use - they sent me an instruction manual and it even says in one of the step 'uncheck IEEE check box'

Im am using a netgear wirelesss router and have also tried on a d-link

Sugestions - is anyone else having this problem??
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] zctyp18:
Phew!

I was having similar probs to many of you dudes with my XDAIIi with WiFi connectivity, but have just solved it (for now!).

I'm using a Belkin router/adsl modem.

First - I removed Skype (thought that was too goo to be true..).

Then, did a soft reset.

Then, into the Network card settings and tell BOTH ethernet (wired and wireless) cards to obtain IP addresses automatically.

Then, try to start wireless and click on the wireless icon in the top bar, then select Settings.

In Settings, in the Wireless tab - click and hold on any networks listed here and select Remove Settings (the listing stays there afterwards, but IS deleted).

Click OK, soft reset and then restart WiFi. That's all it took for me.

Seems that this thing gets in a state when you play with the settings after initial set up. If I don't mess around once I've connected and don't run Skype, I don't have the problem.

Let's hope this is all sorted in the next ROM!!!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oryan_dunn:
My fiance has this phone, and she asked me the same thing. Most android phones seem to use power and volume down for a screenshot, which will take a screenshot and send a notification to the sender of the snap. However, on the M7, it's power and home. Using this combo while viewing a snap just turns the phone off. It appears for the M8, HTC changed to use power and volume down, but even though the M7 and M8 both run sense 6 and 4.4, they have different screenshot methods (likely because the home button on the M8 is on screen).

Yes!

Zeam Launcher -> Better in performance and has minimum features;

Regina Launcher -> I used few times, nothing to say.

Go Launcher -> It was a good launcher and has many features. After many updates, this launcher was laggy in my phone (Defy MB525 and Xperia U).

I was using Nova before I turned to Apex this week.

Both are similar and work well, but Apex has more functions like widget override in desktop which I find useful.

okay... lets do this.

phone : galaxy s4

problem : standard default blinking cursor is too thin (cannot see it and it makes me want to put the phone in a blender)

solution : increase the cursor width by 2 - 3 pixels.

questions : Is the cursor width determined by one file, and then is it a constant regardless of application unless the application specifically decides to change it otherwise? if so : Which file generates the cursor, and, where is this file, and where in this file is the width set?

possible exceptions : themes or launchers which increase cursor width across board...

Did I look? I searched diligently through the internet even looking into how to do it at the unix and linux level and basically... I'm either retarded, or nobody else has done this. (or both)

thanks,
