Hello xda ppl,
I'm going crazy with an issue on my HTC HD2. The WiFi Router doesn't work anymore.
Ok, first of all, if I hard reset the phone, the WiFi Router works again, so the problem is on actual settings. I don't use this features very often, so, really, I don't know which is the issue root cause. Probably some applications installed in the last months... However uninstall all applications doesn't help me...
I perform some test hard resetting and then restore only some sections (using SPB Backup). If I restore Windows Directory OR the Windows Registry WiFi Router doesn't work!
Since I don't wanna reset my device since I have to install a lot of applications, configure it, configure the device.... Very long time to do that....
Does someone advise me if there's a way to restore the original HTC WiFi router functionality without reset my device?
Or, maybe how can I reset the actual configuration modifying something on the registry/Windows directory?
Thanks!
In case You have programmed SPB backup for automatic backup try to restore the oldest backup You have and start from there.
Whenever I install a new app I do a backup and then check all essential functions including WiFi-router, if probs occur I do an immediate restore
Happened last week when I installed the 3G-enabler/disabler from XDA: BT and WiFi router didin´t work any more, so I did just a restore and everything was fine again
Thanks for reply troed, backup the device first to try a new application is also my goal...
Btw, my oldest backup is from 10 May 2010 and the WiFi router issue is still there... As already said I use the Router functionality only during Holidays (like now ) or just in rare cases. So the problem is very old... But I cannot figure which is the application that cause the issue!!!!
Now I'm surfng the internet using USB sharing features, but is very slow compared to WiFi connection!!!
So, I'm scratching my head to restore the router functionality.... Maybe there's a way to delete all the file/registry entries and then let the device restore it like during the first initialization...
However, just now I tried the Tom Condon Wifi Internet Sharing package... No way!
Hey, I had this problem with the wireless router a few days ago too... You might want to take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756830&highlight=wireless+router+problem
Regards
BTW: I remember now I had a prob with WiFi-router once I updated Intel-radio-drivers on my VAIO - notenbook, Router didn´t work at once. I took the old drivers and suddenly it was oaky again, but it was on the side of the NOTEBOOK ! (has sumthin to do with the protocols TCP/IP etc.)
Did You check this also`?

No way, this is not my problem and your solution it doesn't work for me! However, thanks for your feedback!

As already told, if I hard reset the device I can use the WiFi router without problem on the same notebook. So, I believe the problem is on HD2...
BTW. I tried WM WiFi Router application. I remember now I had an old license working fine also with ver 2.0.
Now the WiFi router works again. For sure, not the original one, but this is much better. I'll only take care about battery drain. In the previous version the application drained the battery in a while.
I would like to know WHY the original router doesn't work, but since I have "limited" access to the network, for now I'll use the "WM WiFi Router" temporary solution.
Any other feedback are welcome!
Hmmm... I think there are a few settings to adjust for the router to work...
If the post I posted doesn't work, then you might have to check if your settings under
Settings ---> All Settings ---> Connections ---> Connections ---> Advanced ---> Select Networks
For me, both are under the Internet settings... Example "Vodafone Internet"...
Even for "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:" I have set under the internet settings instead of My work network...
When you turn on the wireless router, you are also given an option to choose which kind of network/connection you would like to use... Choose that one that gives you your internet connection... Example "Vodafone Internet"...
And if all else fails, you may try my method posted in the past few posts... If that STILL can't help you, I'm sorry but I've tried my best! =) Hope you can settle it soon!
Also, make sure that your Broadcom Network adapters connect to "The Internet" and not work
No way also playing with Network Settings. I had tried a lot of combination without success... Seems an "unknown" application/s have change something on Windows directory AND on Windows Registry that prevent WiFi Router to work. I have so many custom settings, with application like Co0kie's Home Tab, CSMI, BsB Tweaks, Pocket Informant, Klaxon, Chainfire-HD2-3D-Driver, incall lock, NET CF 3.7.... and so on... So, probably one of these apps have changed something in a wrong way.
And again, since hard resetting the device solve the issue, with very big patience, after a reset, I'll start again to customize my device trying the router each time I install a new application or apply a new settings!
Just last question: Does someone know which is the registry settings for so called "Fast Call" (the second standard tab) where I put the contact photos?? Or in general does someone know which is the registry settings for manila settings (like the tabs settings)?
Regarding WMWiFiRouter mentioned in my previous post is a good application, but I can confirm it will drain the battery and probably also burn it, since its temperature has reach an high value. I can hardly hold the phone in my hand!
OH MY GOD!
After 3 days of resetting, restoring, change Windows Registry, remove some files from Windows directory and in general going crazy to find the issue route cause.... It's incredible, but I finally hit the target!
I changed some settings using "BsB Tweaks" (great app moreover)... I'm pretty sure I changed the settings related to WiFi, plus some others! I reset again the device and try again to be sure!!!!!!
I'll post the result asap if you're interested!
One of the problems with wifi-router is that it always uses channel 1. If any other router nearby uses channel one, you have no chance to connect to it, as it is very very low power. Check networks in your neighborhood if any of them uses channel 1, or go somewhere where there is no wifi (like park) and try it there.
Well, I'm not really sure, but disabling TCP Cache (on BsB Tweaks) solve the problem. I cannot be sure because now the "original" WiFi router works so I don't want touch anything else!
Maybe re-writing the BsB configuration help to solve the issue....
I'll investigate better when I come back from holidays!
do you have activated the wlan-n modus? if this registryhack is activ, wlan router dont work anymore.
i think this tweak can also edited in bsb-tweak tool or manual in windows registry. so deactivate the 802.11 n modus and your problem is solved.
Yes, I can confirm, this is one of the modification I applied on BsB, togheter with:
- TCP/IP High Cache = Off
- WiFi N = Off
- WiFi StandBy = Off
After that, WiFi router works again!
Damn! That's because I need to extremely tune everything!!!

You're right troed, with the latest drivers of Vaio wifi router doesn't work. Now it's ok with the old ones.

I thought I saw a .cab file here somewhere that would allow you to bridge the 3G/EDGE connection to the WiFi connection so I can share my 3G over WiFi to laptop or whatever.
Anyone seen this? I cant remember the name, thought it was something like WMBridge or something.
Thanks

internet connection sharing will allow you to share your 3G over bluetooth or USB to your laptop !!
and now that I think about it you can almost certainly go through the arduous and difficult task of getting activesync to connect over an adhoc wifi connection, once that is done you will be able to use the phone as a 3G modem for your laptop.

u can do it tht way but its hard, and requires a registry hack, which to be fair doesnt work all that well, disconns after a couple of mins at best, bluetooth is the way to go if u want wireless connecton, although i use the lead for security, u can use the 3g conn as a modem, but then if u like us use tmob wb and walk then u cnt use ur data package.
hope this helps

The app is called wmWifiRouter. Looks like they just came out with a new version the 10th. Forget bluetooth, its not secured at all, and only lets you share with one device. With wmwifirouter you can share with many. See the link below.

excellent that is exactly what I was looking for, I will play with it today and see if I can get it to work.
Thanks

Should be a simple matter of copying the exe to your device and running it. It takes care of all the registry settings, starting up Internet Sharing, keeping the connection alive, and with the latest version you can even put the unit to sleep and your connection will stay alive. About the only thing it doesn't do is set up a peer-to-peer profile with a fixed IP address, but the thread above walks you through that. Make sure you set the profile to use WPA encryption (NOT WEP or 'open') and set a password.

I finally got around to trying this and have had no luck. I followed the directions as best as I could tell. Anyone verify if this works on the Athena? I used to have the method set up manually but hadn't set it up again since updating to AP3.0. This would be much handier... if works!

The directions are confusing because the newer method was grafted onto the same thread as the older method. So it's hard to tell what's what. I put about an hour into this but made no progress. The exe file doesn't appear to do anything on the Athena...

Sorry, just saw your response as I wrote mine. Here is what I did:
1. set up an ad hoc network on my Athena. IP address 192.168.0.1 (another place saide 192.168.0.7--tried both)
2. Set up on my client (MacBook Pro). A connection was established.
3. Ran the exe file -- nothing happened. One comment said to deactivate the network before running. I did this in various degrees with no success.
4. Also opened up the Internet Sharing applet and tried to connect manually -- "USB cable is not connected."
Clearly I'm missing something here. It would be very handy to have this capability. Can you clarify??
Not sure why you are having a problem - I unzipped the zip, transfered the exe to the athena and it ran on the first try after first setting up the ad-hoc wifi connection (settings, connections, wi-fi, network adapters tab, IEEE..., use specific IP address in the 192.168.x.x range; then go to the other tab and set up an ad-hoc connection).
I had an even worse experience. Everytime I ran the exe, my Athena locked up, needing a complete reset each time.
I gave up in the end .
I have got other methods to work using Mortscipts, but it does seem like something that would be well worth someones time sorting out for the good of us all.
Have you tried the latest version of wmWifiRouter? The developer released a new version of it earlier this month. Its on version 0.8 now.
Hey all,
So I've got a small issue. I've got a Verizon XV6800 with the MR1 Rom WM6.1, Valhalla GPS server, 3.42.50 Radio.
Internet connection sharing is not working at this point. I've gone through the winmodem and internet connection sharing cab installs, registry edits, etc. None seem to help.
I previously had a ATT tilt 8925 and had no issues whatsoever tethering it to my mac by just pairing the phone, selecting to "Using a direct Higher speed connection to reach your ISP". Starting Internet Sharing on the phone, selecting Bluetooth PAN & the default data connection, then selecting connect. Then selecting "Connect to network" On the mac through the my phone listed in the bluetooth connections. That simple.
Having installed the "Internet Sharing" cab onto the phone. Internet sharing appears to work, but the phone does not advertise this service, like the ATT tilt did on ATT's network.
I've also tried a few registry edits, and used all variations of modem scripts, and got all the dialup info from verizon directly (so I know it was right ) but could not get dialup to work either. Usually not detecting a carrier, other times lockups.
I truely want to get the bluetooth-PAN working again as it did on my tilt. Anyone have this working on the MAc with a XV6800 on verizon?
i did have it working before. I'm wondering if you might be more successful with a custom rom. Verizon installs software (at least previous roms, I haven't tested the MR1 rom) that reverts reg edits and keeps it working like VzW wants it to. This could be causing problems. First check after a soft-reset to make sure your reg edits still exist.
Also I'm sure you've tried this be in Leopard's bluetooth setup delete the phone and try again. You need to select the type of device as any device in order for leopard to see it. Can you connect the device to your mac? Try that first. If you get a BT connection non-internet connection and you change your settings delete the phone and try again. I forget some of the setting I used. Also Engadget had a how to article for BT pan using the xv6700 and Tiger most of the information is still useful. It's a couple years old so you might have a hard time finding it.
Hope some of that helps.

As mentioned, I have tried a ton of different methods to try and use the data connection, from using dialup settings, to trying to get the Bluetooth Pan working. I've removed and re-paired the device from my mac, flashed roms, hacked away at the registry a ton of times. Nothing seems to give so far.
I've got one more suggestion, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1794133&postcount=29
I'm going to give this a shot tomorrow and will let you know how it goes.

You can use the link from the previous post here, and just copy the dll's and exe to the Windows directory, and place teh shortcut into the Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ directory.

hey, ok great, i just downloaded the file, Just one question..
The file i downloaded has about a page of Reg Key changes, you didnt mention that in your "thngs to do"
Just want to see if i am to make all those changes or not.
thanks
So, your problem is in getting the internet connection to work and not connecting it to the mac, right? Does your mac recognize the phone as a modem?
If you're using MR1 I think you might need to hard reset and the soft reset right before the Verizon customizations run. You won't be able to run their apps but there won't be software to cripple the phone.
i have the same exact issue i have a new macbook pro and the bluetooth connects however the speed is slower then dial up it works perfectly however on bootcamp apple has to change the drivers
So more results.
I tried all the registry edits, (much easier with CD-Regedit so you can make the changes on your desktop) and now internet sharing does not even allow me to select a connection type, it had worked previously.
The only thing that was missing before I made the registry changes was that when I pair the phone, in the services listed, "Network Access Point" is not one of the listed services. My old phone has this service listed, and this is how I used it, where I started internet sharing on the phone, then selected the bluetooth device (phone) on the mac and selected: "Connect to Network) and it worked flawless.
Back to the drawing board. I'm going to try next to re-flash the MR1 rom and do as Cycomachead suggested and stop verizons customizations from happening.
bryanw17, what were the exact settings you used for dialup on the mac. The modem script used is probably the most important piece.
Number: #777
Username: Phonenumber (or [email protected]????)
Password: (We know this one, not sure if it's legal to post though)
Darn, I wish I could provide more help. It is indeed possible in Leopard, I had it going before I began flashing my phone - and I no longer have a data plan to test, otherwise I'd be using it a lot more!
aparently no one with a new macbook pro can get bluetooth pan to work. I have it connected however the drivers for the new macbook pro do not provide a good connection if you search the mac forums theyve been talking about it on there. I dont use a username n password however because i use the internet sharing app for the moment i am using wmwifirouter to connect online however my xv6800 doesnt charge at the same time for some reason so u can only use it till the battery dies
So some more results.
I installed ICS and all the registry edits. Then the internet Connection Sharing did not function at all. I verified the registry settings, all were fine. So no dice with me.
So back to the drawing board.
I installed a previous rom. DCD 3.2.6, and guess what? From initial flash of the phone and initial setup, no apps installed, no hacking, ICS runs and provides a network connection to my mac perfect. I also instantly notice when I pair it through bluetooth, it allows the option of "Access this device as a network port". And "Network Access point" is listed as an offered service.
I installed newer rom DCD 3.3.4, and the MR1 Rom. Neither have ICS installed initially. I can install the two files: intshare.dll and IntShrUI.exe into the windows directory without any reg edits, and then ICS works on the phone, but then pairing the phone to the Mac, and attempting to discover teh PAN service is unsuccessful. It only is discovered as a Dialup Access device, and not a "Network Access Point".
So, It appears I can get internet Sharing via Bluetooth PAN to function on the phone no matter which rom, but have not figure out how to tell the mac, or trick the mac, into thinking the "Network Access Point" service is available.
I have pulled completed registry dumps with CE-Regedit and compared the differences between the two, which there are quite a few, but not sure how to export these differences with the program so I can apply them to the other roms registry. I guess I might try a fukll backup and then restore to the new(er) rom and cross my fingers.
I'd stay with the 3.2.6 rom. and 3.42.50 Radio, with PRI 2.03, but I can only seem to make the GPS function successfully with the MR1 stock verizon rom.
Anybody want to take the two regs files compare, and see if they can find out where we can make the change to have the phone advertise the service "Network Access Point" when being paired to the mac or PC?
On one last note. I also tried the method of restoring the MR1 official rom, and then not allowing the customizations. ICS will function, but again, not advertising the service: "Network Access Point" when pairing, so it's not recognized as a valid networking method.
Where did you get those files (intshare.dll and IntShrUI.exe) to allow ICS via bluetooth?
Nevermind, I found it on PPCGeeks.
Don't know why DCD disabled the BT DUN on ICS.
I use Missing sync, and I turned on PAN then added my phone and it shoed it as a modem when I added it, but my BT connection is fairly Unrealible compared to the USB teather on Bootcamp
i was under the impression that bt pan has been whacked on macbook pro models starting from early 2008 on. anything earlier than that and it seems to work great. does anyone know why bt pan doesnt work on the newer machines and how to get it to work?
I feel like I need to 1st explain that although I don't post here often I'm not an absolute noob. I load a new ROM about every 30 days and used Tierman before advancing to Sashimi. Ever since the 6.5 roms dropped I've been unable to see my Titan from ANY laptop/desktop. I'm looking for others with the same issue and/or if this is a known issue that has been resolved.
Tried RyanMogul6800 2.2 Heavy
Tried JUSTPCTECH 6.5 Rom
Tried an un-named 6.5 Rom prior to the 21501 release
Same issue on all of these roms, SSID/PPC not visible
Device is a 6800 Alltel branded on the Alltel network
WMWifirouter version is 1.35
Tried deleting the wifi listing on the pc's/laptops
Tried re-installing WmWifirouter
Tried rebooting everything
Tried changing hardware switch to control ringer on/off instead of wifi
Tried manually powering on wifi via Comm Manager
I know wmwifirouter started out testing here so I hope they see this post but I will be accessing my paid support with wmwifirouter to submit a support ticket.
Has anyone else experienced this?
What did you do to fix it?
Try going into settings, connections, Wireless LAN, change power mode to best performance. Then go into settings, connections, wifi and if any connections are in there delete them. Make sure no connections are attempting to connect. Now turn on wifi switch and go back into wifi settings. Pick to see ad hoc only and create new. Make a name and make it an ad hoc connection, pick open connection no security protection. Finish. Now using wifi on a laptop/desktop refresh the wifi and you should now see your connection. Quick tip when using WmWifirouter. Make sure nothing is connected to your PPC's adhoc connection. Have the wifi switch enabled BEFORE turning on WMwifirouter, Once its connected you can then use a desktop or laptop and connect to the PPC, and dont turn the WIFI OFF until you have quit WMwifirouter. I use the network plugin to access shared folders on my PC to transfer music etc.. Also make sure the wifi on the PC is not set up to share its own connection. That will interfere with the networking with the wifi on the PPC. Let me know if you get wi-fi working.
Thanks and I'm trying that now..only thing is I've been using WMWifirouter cince before it was 1.0 and it always worked fine. While i'm trying your suggestion is their anything different with 6.5 that would have me manually connecting.
I'm used to setting up wmwifirouter in the office and letting 2 otherppl access it and just GO! This happens on Vista, XP, and Windows 7 (I'm an MSDN subscriber). Anyhow trying your suggestions and let me know about 6.5 if you goet a sec.
Thanks
Tried it and my network showed up for a sec but when I tried connecting it timed out and then never showed up again. USB to 3G works fine and I tried ur suggestion on Vista & XP. Still pokin away. Hope sumthin works out!
Just a side note. My wifi IP on the 6800 is always all 0's 0.0.0.0 Shouldn't it be 192.16.3.1 and DHCP is enabled BTW
I'm experiencing a similar problem and have tried several 6.5 builds, including my own from the ppckitchen. WIFI will work for some time and then stop. It will work again for a short time after rebooting but then will stop once more.
So after JustPCTechs (I prefer Ryans Rom) rom i am back on RyanMogul's heavy & it's still not working. I like many people looked at others with this issue like it's something they are doing wrong but I am an EVERY DAY user of wmwifirouter. I cancelled my itnernet at the house simply because Alltel's unlimited was so fast. I even had the kid's Xbox 360 running through it.
So I'm still stuck with no wifi for wmwifirouter. Even after Ryan's suggestions. I know other people have this problem. I just wish you guys would speak up so we can collect data on this issue and resolve it for real.
No disrespect to the very talented individuals whom have assisted me so far. You and your work are greatly appreciated.
I'm also verifying the problem exists. Also I cannot connect my home pc's internet through the USB cable to the phone anymore. I have verified this same problem with all 3 of the 6.5 roms I've tested. I tried ryan's suggestion but to no avail. Looks great though!!
For the issue of the PPC not being able to use your PC's internet through USB cable you may want to try going into settings/connections/connection settings/select network. Make the top drop down menu My work network and the bottom drop down menu make your Carrier ex:Cricket, MetroPCS, etc.. That way should use your WAP when unplugged and use the PC's home connection when plugged in. That would then be normal operation.
SOLVED:
So I was poking around in the 6800 and I never use wifi because Alltel is SOOO fast. I saw a saved network connection ON THE 6800 to wmwifirouter. I thought it was odd since I asked wmwifirouter to dynamically create the network each time instead of storing it.
After doing that I was able to consistently see the 6800 from any device.
So Comm Manager / wireless Lan/ delete wmwifirouter
I've had the usb issue a long time ago and it is not the same.

If you notice i already said to delete existing wi-fi connections. So my first responses were your solution. you just overlooked it.. take care glad your sorted out.
I guess I did and let me make this real clear for anyone reading this later on. Wmwifirouter creates a wifi connection ON YOUR PPC DEVICE - TO YOUR PC DEVICE.
So when people tell you to delete all wifi connections and you delete the one on your laptop/desktop don't forget (like i did) to delete it on the ppc as well. I never knew thats how wmwifirouter worked. Learn somethin new every day. Thanks to all that helped.

In my instructions it is telling you to delete the connections off of the PPC.. Any connection on your PC would not automatically connect unless u had a matching ad hoc connection on ur PPC. I provided the fix and u overlooked/misunderstood it. I am glad you got ur wifi back up and running.
hi!
its a problem that suddenly developed. my wifi router (dlink dsl-g604t) is running in 802.11b/g mode and has wpa-tkip for security. i use 3 other laptops, a nokia e65 and my hd2 and i have assigned static IPs to all. i have no sort of filtering enabled. my dhcp pool is limited only to these 5 devices+my router itself (10.1.1.1-10.1.1.6).
my hd2 has always connected fine to my wifi on wpa. since recently, it simply doesnt connect anymore at all when using wpa. i just see the rotating circle next to my network name in the available networks list. in advanced settings i see "associated to network" as the status but it never gets an ip at all. router doesnt list hd2 as a connected dhcp client (and thats correct because i dont see an ip on my phone either). not to mention all other devices are connecting fine.
i have looked around the web and xda and i have tried the following:
what has worked for my h2:
1) open wifi
2) wep on an 'open' key
what has not worked for my hd2:
1) wpa-tkip
open/wep/wpa are the only options i have. no wpa2. my router is old. last firmware release was in 2007 and i dont expect anymore to come.
what i have tried to make wpa work (without any success):
1) changing my psk several times. my laptop connects when i change my psk but phone doesnt. i even changed keyboards on my hd2 to make sure i was typing what i was seeing
2) assigning the same static ip (as set in the router) to my broadcom wifi card and the ne2000 ethernet card on the hd2
3) the reg dword and static ip setting as suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627654
4) removing static ip setting for my hd2 MAC and opening up some space in the dhcp pool on the router.
if i misconfigure the security settings on my phone in any way (set to wpa-aes/wep instead of wpa tkip), the phone tries to connect and then stops. then the wifi network is simply listed as available. again this is normal behaviour and confirms that the phone understands the security setup. but when i set it right again (wpa-tkip), it just keeps connecting forever...
(i always soft reset when i make any changes.)
it doesnt seem to me to be a dlink router issue, considering other devices connect fine. also i havent changed any settings on the router in months (until my troubleshooting efforts and now i am back to the same settings).
i am pretty sure something's messed up on the phone, specifically relating to wpa security. thats because i can communicate with my router (i get "associated to network"/rotating circle as status) but i cant get an ip. what separates the two things is successful authentication.
it cant be a radio issue unless radios start malfunctioning randomly... as for what i have changed on my phone - i have installed sktools. the reason i mention sktools is because i found an entry reading "802.11g support" under "tune up->network" and it was DISABLED. so i simply enabled it. i have tried disabling and enabling again but that doesnt help. i also ran the registry cleanup if that makes any difference.
anyone else had this problem? or anyone who can suggest what i should try? please dont tell me to downgrade to wep/open.
many thanks!
phone details:
tmous hd2; 2.31.531.1 rom; 2.15.50.02_2 radio; hspl3
I have no suggestions , other than to tell you I use my phone with WPA daily on a Linksys 610n, works well ...
I wish I had more input for you ...
well im definitely sure that my dlink/hd2/wpa combo works too... it just doesnt work now... i have changed many roms and many radios. phone always connected...
if there is no decent way of going about this then what manhandling might work? reflash? hard reset? i really dont want to do those things because i am into heavy modding and equally bad at backing up... eg) several registry hacks will all go poof...

Just remembered the time I did have trouble getting it to connect, it was after I had enabled the "N" hack with BSB Tweak, could not get it to connect, again .. (this was not with the linksys, but with my older netgear on the other side of my network)
After a Hard Reset it did connect, but , not sure the "N" is worth the trouble ....

i disabled the N hack by changing the registry key directly... soft reset and still nothing... so i put it back on... forgot to mention that in my original post...
edit:
reflashed radio... still no luck.

K .. and I was not clearer in my post, .... Once I had enabled it, disabling it did not seem to make a difference, I could not connect to that older AP, until I hard reset/re-flashed ... it happened twice, so I have just quit using the "N" hack altogether ...

did you start having the problems right after setting the n hack? because i have had my n hack on since a long time and it worked fine all this while...

I would not say right after, but fairly soon, was I think the next day I noticed, it , we are probably barking up the wrong tree, but It's all I got ....
solved!
woohoo! i fixed my problem.
it turns out that i was suffering from over-modding my phone i must thank this post#8 in the htc wizard subforum for reminding me that i did the same thing before my wpa problem started! thanks ristiisa for updating a 2 year old thread (in 2009)! so i went back to advanced config and under network -> i DISABLED wpa authentication (earlier i had set it to ENABLED)... and pronto, my weather tab has finally updated
imagine finding a solution in the htc wizard thread of all places... i am not sure what exactly i did wrong when i enabled wpa authentication though... but now its fixed! and all because i soooooooooo badly didnt want to do a hard reset/reflash
i thought i should come back here and post the solution for others... during my several days of solution hunting i also found out that googling for "hd2 wpa issue" or something similar brings my own thread as the top result
lesson for all those folk who curse their devices when they break down... maybe it is YOUR fault after all
SOLVED!

yep just like the doctor says ..."If it hurts when you do something, don't do that thing!!"
EDIT:
Glad that fixed it for you ....
But just for reference WPA does work, just not for everyone it seems ....
Router information: Linksys Wireless-N WRT120N
I have done everything that i could think of to get this working. i have done several google searches and they all say to do specific things.
For example:
-Reset router
-Enable B/G only or G only set at channel 11
-turn off router firewall settings
-and a bunch of other random sh*t
i have done all of the above then some and i still cant get it to connect. all i get is *scanning* then *disconnected* thats the only two things it says. except right after i reset the router. every time i reset the router i get * obtaining IP yadadada* then goes to *disconnected* then back to the "scanning, disconnected" loop.
there have been some people that have said flashing a custom firmware on the router would fix the issue with mobile connectivity on Wireless-N routers.
please someone be helpful with this and please dont tell me i need to reset my router. i have asked this same question on several forums and the only replies i get are "if you reset the router and turn off security it WILL work fine" thats bull****. im not an idiot. thats the first step any computer literate person would take before asking questions.
**Update: same as from General thread. i had to repost because it was closed for some reason there. also here are the answers to the other two guys to responded.
"not standing close enough" -i have been standing next to it. i have yet to test it more than 10 feet away lol so it cant be there
"flash another rom or reflash current rom" -it has nothing to do with my rom, kernal, or radio. this issue is also happening on my girlfriends xperia running Wolfxperia and mine is the blackeditionHDv2. its also an issue with her sisters xperia. hers is still stock 2.2(i think). their stepdad has an iphone and it wont connect with that either. from what ive gathered... its a mobile issue. i know all these phones say (b or g only) but even setting the router to broadcast in b/g it still wont connect. it notices the routers name with full strength on all devices. also i might add that their laptop is an older laptop. does not support N but still can connect to the router and have internet.
Same here. Xperia mini x10 pro. When on it says connecting even thought I nothing appear visible.

*sorry for hijacking your post ts*
as for me it just started, before that when i was at col i was able to watsapp as usual, the phone is currently not with me but when i get i will post some ss for you to see.
-------------------------------
Here are the ss
any idea on how i can solve this?
I'm guessing this is an ip issue. The mobile devices are not able to get one. This usually happens to me on a public network and I even get a " limited or no connectivity".
The work around I do is to assign a static ip on my phone. Its very simple to do and if you need help doing it, let me know.
There's no clear explanation I can tell you, but it seems some mobile devices have a hard time pulling ip's from different types of routers. Hope this helps.

Will ask my gf to give it a try. It happened so abruptly, it was working fine when she was at col then when she came back it won't detect any wifi, whether it's her house or mine, and now that she is back at her col she still can't connect.
I know how you feel.
I have had this issue ever since I first upgraded to Stock 2.3.3 last July. On 1.6 and 2.1 (both stock also) I never had issues.
Basically, in my case, resetting the router DOES solve the problem, but only for a limited time. This limited time is random, as sometimes it will work for a few days, and then sometimes it will cut out a few hours again after I have reset my router. I am also using the static IP method (and an app called WiFi Stat which I initially thought had solved the problem, but it hasn't) I'm not sure what triggers the WiFi connection to be lost, but there must be a trigger. Like I said, I never had this issue in my previous old Android versions.
I had hoped (somewhat naively) that moving to a custom ROM would solve the issue, but after installing Wolf's latest ROM, I still have this issue.
Have you tried anything based on 2.3.4 or above, to see if this is an Android 2.3.3 issue? Are there any good ROMs people could recommend that are based on higher versions than 2.3.3?
WEP/WPA key issue?
If its not the kernel/ROM/version of the phone, it could have something to do with the way the security is set up for your router. I had the most frustrating time logging into my university's wireless (think it was encrypted with 802.1x EAP) which required username and password. Though most home-owned router are equipped with WPA/WPA2 PSK or WEP, you can try the steps below:
1. Go to Settings ->Wi-Fi Settings -> Add Wi-Fi network
2. Type in the network SSID (yeah this is the manual part)
3. Open the "Security" drop-down box and set the following:
Security: 802.1x EAP
EAP method: PEAP (default)
Phase 2 auth.: MSCHAPV2
CA cert.: leave unchanged
User cert.: leave unchanged
4. Type in username (if any) and password.
Once again, this would work 99% for 802.1x...not sure about WPA/WEP. Good luck!
Try Channel 6 in router option and hope it works.

setting a static ip doesnt seem to work.. any idea? i wish not to re-flash as i dun think that would be a permanent solution.
again i dun think it has anything to do with my router as other gadgets are able to connect with it and i didnt fiddle with the security.
It is unable to detect any router as i have tried it different hotspots.
Hope to get some help.
------------------------------------
I wipe clear the settings and it worked again.. hope the problem doesn't persist again.
