[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lovecraft:
I've purchased a Milestone X720 for my wife, but I found the internal WiFi to work erratically at best.

It seems like it has no problem connecting to Google.com webpage (also it can sync mails and contacts), but when trying to access any other webpages (bbc.co.uk, espn.com, etc.) using the browser, it's always timing out. I know it's not a problem with my WiFi / internal network / router /internet connection, because I can navigate just fine using my HTC Desire or home laptops.

It worked for a while yesterday afternoon, then this morning wasn't able to connect to any website.

The wifi connection is using DHCP, and it shows a correct internal IP address and an excellent signal level. I don't think there's much more things I can tweak in the phone configuration, or isn't there?

Maybe it is a defective phone? Did someone experienced something like this? Should I return it and exchange it for a new one?

I'd appreciate any help.

Alex.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Shiny_Lucario:
Actually, I've been having problems with my wifi. My wifi will stop working on any webpage at seemingly random intervals (I used to think it was when it went into sleep, but it happens when it's not in sleep now also). Eventually after restarting wifi so many times it'll glitch up and I have to restart the phone.

Providing your phone's stock (as in you haven't rooted it or the like) I'd recommend going to your carrier about the problem.

EDIT: I just checked through the posts on this board and some guy was having another problem with his wifi (different from both of ours though), he suggested getting WifiPowerSavingOff off the market, I'll try it and tell you if it fixes my problem. The only problem is it requires root access, I don't even know if it will fix your problem so you're better off sending the phone back (especially since rooting voids your warrenty). One other thing you could try is just a factory reset, it sounds like a software problem so that might work wonders, you might have to reactivate your phone afterwards though.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lovecraft:
Well, thank you for your response.

WiFi was working OK when I came back from work, but is not working now.

The phone is unbranded unlocked, so I'll probably have to talk to the seller.

I tried to see if there was an update from Motorola, but every time I go to the System Updates it says that it is unable to connect to the server, so there's probably no available update for this phone yet.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Shiny_Lucario:
If it's unlocked OTA updates (updating through the settings) are probably disabled, because installing OTA updates will make you lose root (I'm assuming your phone also is rooted if it was unlocked by the seller). do you know what baseband your using right now? Also, have you installed rom manager or anything that can make nandroid backups?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lovecraft:
I might be wrong, but I don't think it's rooted, I think it's just the way it's sold, SIM free and unlocked from factory, not by the seller.

Baseband is 3GSMEPU91A_U_91.07.56I
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Shiny_Lucario:
Well if you wanna double check, just look to see if a superuser permissions app is installed (if you don't find one it's not rooted), I never knew they sold them unlocked (although I'm in the US... so I doubt they do here). All I can say is to try a factory reset then, if that doesn't work then talk to the seller. It sounds like more of a software problem since Google works.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lovecraft:
In the end it seems there is some kind of incompatibility between the phone and my WiFi router (a Belkin G). Yesterday I managed to borrow another WiFi router (Netgear) and it works flawlessly when connected to this AP.

I will keep testing during the weekend but I'm pretty sure this was the cause.

Thanks Shiny for your help.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] hombre21:
Hi. I picked up a milestone via Ebay two days ago and had similar wi-fi issues. After reading a number of forums I discovered that the problem lay with my router - Siemans Gigaset SE587 (Tiscali). The wireless channel or regulatory domain was set to auto channel 1. I think this confuses the phone so with the help of the router manual I disabled auto and reset it to channel 13.

Wi-fi works flawlessly now and it hasn't affected my other devices:). The link below might help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] adam79:
I use the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app that already came installed with the phone. When I delete voicemail(s) in this app, they get stored as saved messages in the actual voicemail (holding the "1" key in the dialer). Is there a way to permanently delete the voicemails in Visual Voice? I already check the app's settings with no luck. Is this something that the app just doesn't do? If so, noticed that there are other, third party, Visual Voicemail apps. I haven't tried them, but if anyone else has, do any of them permanently delete voicemail(s)? Please help!!

Been Playing around with my phone now that i have froyo, and been trying to see if some people can name out some apps that support "Apps to SD Card"

cuz i really dont wanna go one by one and seeing if every app support the option to save it to my sd card, i know that not all apps have that support only a few. i havent had to much luck on the apps i have already. i only got 6 apps to work......thanks

"just find this app called "SDMOVE" on the market,

every froyo users should have it
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
Thanks! This is awesome! I was wondering if there was an easier way then going through each app individually. Makes Apps2SD so much better now! Btw, does anyone know if apps stay on the SD card if you do a factory reset or whatever?
[EVO 4G General] zackhow:
Now we just need Google to make earth able to move to SD.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
On the Nexus One, when I go to my university's website (pipeline.wayne.edu), and enter in my credentials, I get an error which says:

uPortal Error

Sorry, but uPortal encountered and error that is preventing it from rendering. The error must be corrected by system administrators. Try again later.

I looked this problem up but it seems not many people have come across a website which gives them this error, so no solutions have been found.

But most troubling of all is that all of the discussions and threads I found on this seem to show that the people who had access to other phones

(G1, MyTouch, iPhone), were able to access the websites without problems

that were giving them the uPortal error on the Nexus One.

I don't think google is going to even bother looking into this problem, so I'm hoping that a dev can figure out what the issue is. Anybody find any solutions to this or encounter this problem?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you haven't contacted your universities' system administrator.

Do that first.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
You're missing the point here. The university and Google themselves aren't going to worry about 1 or 2 people out of 40000 who can't access the website on their smartphone. They're going to say "So what's the problem?....oh, you're trying to access our website on your phone?? well, just try it on a computer." And that would be the end of that, it wouldn't solve anything.

The point is that the G1, MyTouch, the iPhone even can open pages that give the Nexus One this error.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
The point is that your university knows what configuration your phone needs to be in for it to work with it's own network.

(I couldn't get on my school's network because I had neglected to set up a specific setting)

You school's tech support is there for a reason. Believe it or not these cool little smartphone devices are really common, and your school has staff to deal with these things.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
Good luck, I've been complaining about this for months. Nobody cares. And yea the nexus is the only phone with the problem so google should address it. If a website works on my old ass g1 it damn sure ought to work on my nexus. I'm not interested in contacting my schools support, I shouldn't have to. The answer to problems with phones should only rarely be "fix it your self" but around here that's like the only acceptable answer. I love android but its ok for consumers to demand things. That's just the seller/consumer dynamic. Its not a bad thing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Why are you people afraid to get in touch with IT?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
Well firstly no need to say "you people" you racist (kidding). But I took your advice and contacted my school's IT department. They could care less if it's not on a Windows or Mac computer. So yeah...exactly what I predicted.

So we need a fix on the phone itself.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SabrWolf:
is there any website i can surf to right now to see the problem on my nexus one ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
The only website I know of is my university's website, on the page that is supposed to load after you log in. So I can't tell you any that will reproduce the problem. But if you look up "nexus one uportal", on google (without the quotes), you'll come up with a few results, and the people who are talking about it are usually trying to log into a website...and also they're having no problem doing it with other phones.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
I'm reading through alot of the google searches and this apears, to me, to be an issue with webkit browser more than anything. You may see a surge in response soon as alot of phones are moving to 2.2 and newer webkits.

i found this entry pretty funny:

Just wanted to bump this in case someone has found a solution or has the knowledge to fix it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
This may seem obvious, but I can't see it mentioned. Have you tried any other browsers, such as Dolphin?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
Yes, and skyfire. It doesn't work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DumbUglyDragon:
Hey, new to the forums here, but I've been having this problem for quite some time and it is quite annoying. I've found it works on Opera Mini, but no other browser. I've also been following this problem on Google's Nexus One forum. I hope Google will fix this issue because I really dislike using Opera!

-DUD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
Opera Mini won't work on a lot of sites.

I've found a temporary solution.

Fennec will open my school website which was giving me the uPortal error. So I hope this helps others.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DumbUglyDragon:
Giving Fennec a try. Didn't realize how gigantic the file size is. I still don't feel like it is as smooth as the stock browser. Sticking with the normal browser for everything but the website.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Fennec was a nasty alpha that barely worked. There is a Firefox 4.0b1 out today for Android. It's still pretty massive but it's better than the Fennec build was.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DumbUglyDragon:
Blah.... It still hogs so much memory! Started getting the SMS rejection bug due to low interal memory (still reports 11MB+ left lol). This is highly annoying! Trying to figure out who sent me a text hours ago lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
Luckily I'm using apps2ext so low space isn't a worry for me. But even though I hate Firefox for android, I'm so glad its able to open the sites with the u portal error.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DumbUglyDragon:
Doesn't work on Droid or the Nexus S for that matter lol. Something to do with 2.1+ browsers?

On the plus side, Firefox has gotten smaller, and I have more memory onthis one lol

Im begining to loose my serenity over a phone. I cant seem to get rid of this "Checking phone storage" icon in the notification bar. Ive tried everything. After two hours of searching I found it may have somethig to do with the wireless tether. Im running sky raider 2.2 with wireless tether 2_0_5 -pre 3 in conjunction with the "tether_ap_kernel _inc0signed" zip. Or it could be something totally different causing it?

Thanks

I think its the kernal. Based on discussions on here we are awaiting the new source code from htc.
[Nexus One General] xXJay_RXx:
well as im reading through some websites i stumbled across Engadget where they r using Android devices in Afghanistan to test real-time, spoken language translation from Pashto to English. now i think this is neat. here is the site that has a video of them actually doing it http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/02/darpa-and-nist-testing-real-time-translation-system-for-use-in-a/ like i said i think this is neat n it would be cool to see soldiers using these overseas to make their jobs safer and easier. but could the open source of Android be an issue for the military? what do you guys think?
[Nexus One General] cyberchuck9000:
As a military comm guy, I'm fairly certain that if the Nexus One is just being used as a hardware platform for this translation technology, with some fairly obvious physical modifications as seen in the video, it's probably NOT network-enabled.
[Nexus One General] phiednate:
I will be deploying to Afghanistan shortly as an Contract Specialist with the Air Force. My job requires me to constantly communicate with local contractors and even at my current duty station (Guam) the communication barriers with some Japanese contractors can make things interesting.

I am going to have to look into this. I know tha,t as a contracting guy, one of the first things we do when opening a base is try to get cell service from the local economy. Not sure what they do now since alot of Afghanistan is pretty built but I have been looking at a few prepaid cell services that I could get on my own. Doubt it would be very difficult to do this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkeryan:
I have the EVO Rooted (the real way) and ever since installing cy's senseless RC I've been having issues with the screen registering a tap on the top left corner about 1/4th the way down the screen so I'm constantly closing the calander or whatever else I have in that area, this is including programs, phone calls etc. I was literally fighting with my phone the other day. Now I've reinstalled a 2.1 rom and it didn't do it and I've installed multiple 2.2 roms and it still does it. I thought it might be the fps uncapping hack most people include so I figured once the stock rom from sprint came out and was rooted for us it would fix my problem. Wrong... Now I'm stuck between a rock and a sprint store as I can't make it happen constantly but it happens maybe 5 times throughout the day and I have to just wipe my fingers over the area of the screen and its usually fine. I want to install the Stock rom, essentially un-rooting my phone but then if that fixes the problem I cant take it back and exchange it at sprint. Or I cant make it happen for them and then I'm stuck again with a phone that I can't root. Any ideas guys, is this happening to anyone else? I've researched online and haven't seen anyone else with a similar problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
first off, whats the "real way" for rooting?

if unrooting fixes your problem whats the problem? is there some reason you MUST have a rooted phone? are you doing anything that you otherwise couldnt do with a rooted phone?

many people are experiencing phantom screen presses (myself included), also many people arent.

if its a rom issue, then check in the dev secion for the rom and see if anyone else is having this problem. sounds like a screen problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkeryan:
The real way for rooting not the unrevoked method.

Every rom after a certain kernel version does it to my phone but I couldn't begin to guess which one with all of these different version floating about. I can flash back to EVOlutionX and it doesn't do it, not that I've seen yet. If unrooting my phone fixed the problem then as I said I obviously would not be able enjoy a rooted phone. I'm not even going to begin listing the benefits of a custom rom or creating my own which I've done in the past. I was going to post in all the particular rom threads but I figured instead of posting multiple repeated threads since it happens in ALL of them, then I would do the forums a favor and post in the general Q&A section as I did. So who else is having phantom screen presses as myself and nenn are, and have you done anything to correct the problem?

Update: I found a forum post on another site of a person who took the OTA update 1.47 completely stock and its doing the same thing. I think I'm going to wait until its happening and catch it on video and then flash back to stock and take the evo in for warranty replacement. Hopefully they will accept this as reason for replacement.

So my trackball is no longer completely functional so using the amon ra-recovery via my phone is useless. I am currently running a rooted ROM on the phone and want to take the phone to verizon so I can get an eris with a working trackball. My question is which is the best way to get my phone back to as close to stock as possible without having to use the trackball on recovery mode

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2wisted:
did you have to use the trackball to move around in the hboot mode or just to select options? because if it requires me moving the trackball around to get to options then i wont be able to do it but if its just to click on an option and I can maneuver around with out the trackball then I am all for it
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chiggins:
Nah, you don't need the trackball to move through HBOOT, just the volume buttons. I'm having problems with my trackball too right now, so I feel your pain.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0yd:
Plug your AC adapter into the the USB port on the bottom of phone and push up on from the bottom side of the plug and voilla! The trackball will work fine as long as you gently push up on the usb plug. Just be gentle with it. I do it constantly, or you can use Clockworks recovery which doesnt require any trackball. I have the same problems and originally used Clockworks recovery image to get around it, and then now I use the USB cable trick because my phone isnt warrantied from Verizon because I bought it from a friend which voids warranty.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainkrtek:
Before you try any of these download and install Rom Manager from the market and install. once installed install clockwork mod recovery, it allows you to scroll using volume keys, although to select you must click with the trackball, if youre still able to click you should be good
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhooka:
You can also try this to see if it fixes the trackball.

I'm having problems with my trackball as well. Sometimes it just goes nuts and starts scrolling on its own. Anyways I'm going to use jcase's method to return it to 100% stock, bootloader and all (its in a sticky on this forum). He took off the unzipme.zip download but I found it with a google search. Verizon better make good and replace my phone!

*edit* I've read its a problem with the trackball and the charger port and can confirm. When I move the charger at the port the trackball goes wild. Its a known issue with verizon so I emailed then about a replacement.

Called verizon. Replacement will be shipped today.

Long story short, dropped and damaged my HTC TP2. It still functions, but reception is noticeably weaker and I get signal lost notices frequently. I have a replacement insurance with Asurion, but when I called to file a claim, they said that the TP2 is no longer available and the replacement phone would be an HTC Imagio. what?! :mad:

I told them heck no. They said to call back if I change my mind. I need a slide-out qwerty keyboard, and I LOVE my TP2.

You guys have any ideas or suggestions here?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] indagroove:
Tell them to replace it with a moto droid as it has qwerty, then sell then new droid on ebay and buy a TP2 with the cash.

How badly damaged is it? can you pm me some pics or pm me to get my email. i might be able to help you .. PM only :)

The antenna lead on the TP2 snaps into place. When the phone dropped it may have snapped out of place. Removing the top two screws allows you to pry out the antenna ans check if the lead is properly snapped in place.
