This really really pi##es me off, as where I live I get 1x data, & usually use my home wireless (wifi).
Recieved the pro, and activated it. It seems disabled by being activated by alltel. I even stumped the blackberry adept person at the local store enough that they switched out the phone, I walked to next door (motel) used the free wireless (to prove the wireless would even function) then let him activate it and headed home (30+ miles into the wilderness). got home and again I cant get Crap wifi to work.
Home is wireless b, it connects, can be seen on the 'simple' 2 wire wireless appliance but the PRO, will not see or try to send data through it. turned off security and everything on the wireless for testing. I can check, but I know the pass for the motel, and I could try again, but am definitely sure that this AINT the issue--> again the phone wouldnt connect at the motel (least not the pre exchanged one) with me or the rep at Altel either, while it was activated and on alltel.
who to call? Any help out there?
my 6800 will still wifi, at anyplace there is a signal and that I know the passcodes or is open.
yes I asked this, at alltel-howard forums, but would think you guys here know more (on second thought, when I remembered about all the stuff you do here, I know I probably should've posted here 1st, but Im kinda mad at the moment!)
Pretty adept at computers, I do IS as my real job, anything I can do to help trouble shoot? yeah the 6800 has been flashed & I even noobed around with cooking a few time. appreciate any help you guys
i Have a touch pro and a touch diamond, both under 2 weeks old and the wifi works fine with both of them, maybe you should try a custom rom and see if they changes anything. but there is no reason it shouldnt work with the stock rom

goony,
Is it an Alltel? are you positive that wifi is working, not the "data" connection with alltel towers (cell call)? My proof is that if I goto my basment, I have no cell service so not any data connction, ONLY WIFI (that is where my wireless router is. that is when I found out the 1st time. Everything else looks right, on the phone it says it is connected, on the router I can see it on the connected devices list.
I have my issue that I believe, that it is some setting that Alltel is setting... like I said the phone would connect via wifi until the phone activated. When I activated (full unlimited data package is on this phone) the phone fully rebooted on its own, 3 times as if getting updated via data plan. Im not talking about the 1st time turn on customizations, those were done before I tested the wifi at the motel lobby... For instance, the volume control buttons - the display app were obviously modified, I am not positive what else was.
I'd LOVE to try custom rom, if I wasnt right in the period of time I can get my money back, or not. after that I will...
yes they are alltel, and to test the wifi i just connected it to my router and then turned of my alltel data and it stayed connected so i am positive the wifi works. you can still use a custom rom under your return period, if you want to return just relock it.
I wanted to double check myself sting to make sure i was realy getting wifi, so i connected and went to speedtest.net and did a speed test and sure enough it showed my isp as roadrunner(my home provider). Have you had this problem with multiple phones? are you checking the internet option when it connects? and do you have it diconnected from the pc? my wifi wont work on my diamond hooked to a pc.
Has nothing to do with alltel. Maybe with the rom or the phone. Now I hope you're not waiting for a pop up to show itself on the main screen asking if you want to connect because you could wait forever. Go to comm manager enable wifi/ go to start->settings->connections->wifi and make sure options are set to "all available." If you can even see wireless networks on the list, the wifi is functioning correctly and there is a router settings conflict. If you don't see networks on that list in wifi, then there is a rom/hardware problem.

Hey thanks!
But, it is the Stock shipped rom, I have my HTC 6800 right next to this one, connected and surfing the web, both show up when in the home WIFI router config as connected, yet the pro sends NO DATA to ie or opera, (cant locate any webpages) or any app that uses internet/data.Unless there is something I need to do with PRO that I never had to do with the 6800 (mogul) that I just flashed back to stock shipped rom, ready to sell on ebay...
what I dont know is, well, most of the people wifi to tether a laptop or something, I dont! Sure that will be neat in the future, but RIGHT NOW, Just I use WIFI when I am at home and dont even have signal or evdo near me... (remote locations that I live, the tower coverage sucks out here in ks...) Got to fix this soon, or this Beyotch is going back to alltel.
Another thing, this bad boy pulled this crap, as soon as alltel activated the device (so I could use it as my phone!) when it was NOT activated, the wifi worked (proven at the motel next door to the Alltel store I exchanged this phone). BTW, I was able to test it on the 1st phone shipped to me, while it was activated, it pulled the same thing, when he unactivated the phone, we could almost pickup the wifi from the motel next door (distance was the only issue I think now looking back) but seemed like a chip problem.
Where I got screwed was we believed the wifi to be bad on the 1st phone. So he got out a new phone, and before we activated it, I went and tested the wifi, it worked on the 2nd phone. I thought wall was fine, it worked. then I had him activate it, assuming that proved I will be able to use the wifi. So I leave the store thinking OK wifi works. I get home, and again unable to use my home networking wifi to open web or apps. unacceptable. Yet the 6800 does and still works flawlessly (as long as you slide the wifi sider on side to on {inside joke}).
follw me better now?
What brand router do you have? How many devices are wireless? And it connects to other locations but are you sending and recieving data? Try this link http://www.wmwifirouter.com/trial/ and install on 6800 if you are not normally around hotspots. This will test the t-pro's ability to send and recieve information via wifi. Now it is sounding like an IP address conflict.

Sweeny, Im in the houshold router (made by 2wire) I can see it (the Pro as well as the 6800) each get an ip. (I work In IT, so I know what you are talking about in ip conflicts, all that.) I have even set the router to manually setup IPs now, then set the ip inside the Pro, as well as the default gateway, dns all that.) I'm telling ya, it is more like it doesnt know the DNS or the gateway (just like I disable internet surfing on the computers at work that I still must use networking)
I copied the DNS and everything from a working laptop (ipconfig -all) on a wireless laptop today, and still as if it was disabled.
This weekend i will test the dang thing tethering with my notebook i'll bring home from work (use the pro as the internet access). if it wont tether either, then I think allHell is doing something. Again if the device is DE-Activated I will wifi... {I'll bet you $$}. I might call alltel, tomarrow night, and try that. I'll have them inactivate it and if it suddenly works, then the question is, what do I do with alltel? they dont have the right to disable hotspot usage do they?
I feel I feel the presence of VERIZON already in Alltel, Luke is turning to the dark side. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
You all thought I was off my crock...
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/2073117/Touch+Pro+WiFi?t=anon lots of folks posting same problems it looks like.
Need that group of people who can create a kitchen, and hcak tomtoms, to help us with this PLEASE!
No I don't, think you're off your crock I just know how frustrating problems like this can be. Here is what I suggest you do. And if this doesn't work exchange the phone or try a different router. I know what you're thinking....not the router. Truth is might be. Its just like wireless adapters in wii's and ps3's they simply will not work with a handfull of routers even though not clearly documented.
Anyway, change router to static Ip's, safer anyway.
Specifiy gateway, primary and secondary dns, and limit your ip's within 100 available obtainables. Use a 64 bit wep encryption. Change the channel of your router's broadcast to 1 or 11. Use only simple gateway ip range, not pure server. If you need me to provide you with example settings then pm me because I do not want to broadcast them via forum
Good luck.
Dont take this the wrong way....but are you positive that you are disabling the DATA Connection in Comm Manager?
I have had the alltel touch pro since the second they hit the store. I have used 3 of them since and they all work perfectly on wifi. I primarily use wifi and use diamond tweak to activate the wifi standby so wifi stays connected in standby like data does by default and use modaco nodata to disable data as I live in a house that gets a very lowsignal from the tower and eats my battery superfast if I use data. I have a router in the house and one in my office detached from my home and when I had my mogul it often would not switch between routers successfully requiring me to manually connect more often than not. All the Touch Pros connect superfast and switch automatically. I am running mightyrom 4.12 and telus radio which is light years better than stock with signal, speed and batterylife, but even when I was on stock for about 3 months there were absolutely no wifi issues.

Not sure which of us you are asking this queston of...
Thanks, for the help so far...
I was having the same issue (Alltel and all).
I found this post in the MS forums:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobile/thread/561f18a8-5f64-4359-957e-adb003229f1d
Essentially, it says to "Navigate to START/SETTINGS/Connections Tab/Connections icon/Advanced Tab
Press Select Networks Button
At the top it says "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:"
You want to press on the drop down and choose My Work Network"
You need to tell the system that the Work Network connects to the internet as well. While this doesn't seem like the ideal solution (there should be a faster way to switch it, or it should do it automatically depending on location), it did work for me. I'm sure there's a much more sleek solution out there, though.
Btw... I hope I'm posting this correctly. I'm more a reader than a poster.
Ooop... one more thing. Its non-sleekatude rests with the fact that when you want to switch between wifi and your data plan, you have to go through the whole process, and switch the active network from My Work Network to Alltell Wireless. This is where I was hoping for a better solution. As I say, it does work, but it seems like it should involve less hassle.
Might add this to the WIKI, I dunno but there could be a few more thousand users out there on ATT or SWB using the modem/routers that they shipped when you got DSL more than a year ago...
Everyone that has the older 2 wire brand, wifi modem/router that came with SBC (now ATT). Wierd I know. But Mine has just been replaced by the newer version of that modem/router. and I will be dammed, it works. but the phone wont work with the older ones. Mine was the 2WIRE 1000hw model. they are shipping new models, and finally the phone will work with the wifi on that new router.
Thought it might be nice to know...
alltel model uses wifi just fine
My TP from alltel works just fine with wi-fi all i ever do is turn it on and then select which connection i want to make ...really quite nice...maybe you need to exchange yours...
On further testing of my own setup, I'm thinking my issue was the router. I had done several fixes all at once, and cited the wrong fix as the working one. I happened to reset my router at the same time I did the above suggested fix.
I thought it had to be the device, as my HTC Apache never had an issue with the router, but after resetting the router, and going back to the original settings on the TP, I'm having no problems connecting to the network. I wish I could pinpoint the exact conflict between the two, but now that I have it working, I'm not messing with it.
My suggestion is to back up your router settings, reset the router, and see what happens. Or test your wifi on someone else's network.
Isolating a network conflict can be one of the least fun things to do, but from everything I've seen here and in other forums (and my experience with it) I'm going to say that's the issue, and not the TP alone.
I don't think it likes your router being wireless B, you should try it on a wireless G router before Ebaying it.
I really need some help with my wifi issues on my tab. I am tethering from my Thunderbolt and as you can see in the picture, my signal strength is as good as it can get. However, the websites are not loading at the time of the picture, the weather will not refresh and my words with friends won't update. All of this is sporadic. After I took the screenshot I went right back and hit refresh on the browser and it worked.
Here's a good example; just a few minutes ago I downloaded Swiftkey from the Amazon appstore and no sooner had it downloaded and installed when I went to the browser and when it was trying to load the homepage of Google it tells me there's no connection when I have full signal strength. Also, what do the colors of the wifi signal bars mean? Sometimes they're gray and other times blue. But I can't see a direct connection between working data and error messages. Sometimes gray works and sometimes it doesn't, same way with the blue bars.
Basically, I am connected to wifi and the data connection comes and goes in a matter of seconds. Last night it worked for an hour or two no problem. It's not my tethering because I updated the app, reverted back to what I had before and even tried another release. My Acer A500, my girlfriend's iphone and ipad, and my ps3 all connect to the network and have no problems. I know it's my tab, I just don't know how to fix it.
I even tried replacing the wpasuplicant, it makes no difference with or without the new one so I just chnaged it back. Plus, the tab has no problem seeing and recognizing the phone's network; it just connects and stops working. It doesn't even tell me I'm disconnected, it shows me being connected even when it doesn't work.
I'm stumped guys, this shouldn't be so difficult. I really like the tab, and I don't want to have to get rid of it. I find it strange that no one else (that I've seen anyways, forgive me if I've missed it) is having this problem. I have seen wifi issues listed on here about not being able to connect, but not dropping out like mine.
Sorry for writing a book, any help is appreciated.
When you're tethering from your phone to your tab, since they are close, the signal between them is strong. This doesn't mean that the 3g speeds that you're getting from the provider to your phone is fast. You're phone might be dropping it's 3g signal. You'll never know it by looking at your tab because as far as it knows, it has a full connection to your phone's wifi.
That's true, I'll keep an eye on it. Right now I have full bars on the phone and it's working fine. But earlier I can't say because I wasn't looking for that.
**EDIT** Nope, that's not it either. It was working for a while and I thought it might be. But now I have full bars of 3G coverage and it says on the tab browser "Data connectivity problem" and "The connection to the server timed out."
I should also mention that I've been tethering from the TB for months and never had an issue with a device getting wifi from it. So that's why I'm so quick to dismiss the phone as the problem.
Do you see the same behavior when connecting to other wifi networks? If so that would eliminate your phone as the issue, and point to either a software or hardware issue on the tab. If you can't... probably the phone.
Boo ****ing hoo JoKu
Try a cable instead of the ***** wi-fi geek connection!

In 20-30 years time we'll all be cancer ridden because of the wi-fi radioation. Too bad, suckers...
HTC does not allow wi-fi tethering from their phones unless it is through your carrier. You have to use Foxfi app and use the bluetooth tether option.
Hey Guys.
I seem to be experiencing strange issues with my T-Mobile Amaze 4G and was wondering if it is only me.
Before I continue, I just wanted to note that I already performed a Hard Reset and received the OTA update a couple of weeks ago with no change in the problem.
It seems that everything seems to work well as soon as I restart the phone...but after a while, I notice that my e-mails do not get refreshed/notified from the e-mail app unless I actually go into the app itself.
I have set the e-mail app to check for new messages every 15 minutes with no peak time defined....that is....it checked every 15 minutes all day any time of the day.
Second issue is with Wifi. It seems flaky and I find I must turn off/on Wifi periodically not matter were I am getting Wifi from (i.e. - Home, Work, Coffee Shop, etc...)
Is it just me having these strange issues?
Is there a fix for it?
Thank All.
I don't have email issues when I am connected to 2G/4G.
I do, however, have issues with WiFi. Specifically the corporate WiFi at my work. It just won't connect. It gets stuck in the authenticating/disconnecting loop. Very annoying as this is the only phone I have not been able to connect to the WiFi at work. All of my prior phones connected with no problems, e.g. Motorola Photon, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Touch Pro II (Sprint and T-Mobile versions), iPhone 3/3GS/4. All of them will connect but my Amaze won't.
Is this par for the course or could I have a bad Amaze, again? I am on my 2nd one by the way. The first one had the same auth/disco loop problem, too.
My WiFi connects at work when it feels like it, which isn't often. At home its just fine.
I have the same thing happen to me as well between Home and Work Wifi.
It would seem that Corporate Wifi systems usually require the "Use secure credentials" to be enabled in order to connect (Settings, Security, Use secure credentials).
If it isn't checked...then no Corporate Wifi will connect.
It would seem that HTC released an update for the Amaze today (Dec. 12).
I have updated my phone...we'll see if it works any better.
Wish me luck...
Apparently HTC is rolling out an OTA that includes WiFi calling: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1319
Not sure if it's T-Mobile USA only or not...
Thought I'd post my observations...
My wi-fi at home (wpa2 personal) works flawlessly. Wi-fi at work (wpa2 enterprise) is able to connect and works great but after 40-50 minutes gets stuck in the authentication loop for unknown reasons. While in this auth loop, it seems to be in a transition state - neither wifi or TMO data mode and no synching occurs. Turning wifi off then back on will resolve but is a pita.
However, once the enterprise wifi is enabled (using credentials) the advanced power menu stops working - the long press of the power button functionality. Clearing the credentials usually re-enables the power button long press functionality, sometimes this requires a battery pull to restart.
Even with these small (at least for me) inconveniences, the Amaze is the best phone I've ever had!

Do you connect using WPA2 Enterprise at work? If so, are you able to enable Wi-Fi Calling?
I called 611 and they were not much help. Only thing came out of that call was maybe the WPA2 Enterprise enforces additional security for UMA (WiFi) calls resulting with REG99 error for me. I'll try from home with the WPA2 Personal connection later.
I'm reading TmoNews and it says IMS WiFi calling. 611 told me UMA...
Tried the WiFi calling from home (WPA2 Personal) and it works great. The router at work must be causing the REG99.
we're on a WEP network at work and at home so not sure why home works but not work. It may have to do with the firewalls and all that, but I'm not sure.
I ran into the same problem with email syncing. Here's a work around...
Use "tasker" and get the plugin for it called
"Synker"
Make a repeating profile that links to Synker and voila. You can control when and how often it syncs...

My WiFi performance stinks with this phone. I just got the 1.43 update today and it's not any better. With my old Nexus One I didn't have problems, but when connected at home (shown as WPA/WPA2 PSK) I get lots of time out errors and just about every action in the Market loads very slowly. When it finally does start a download they go OK but getting opening an app page or getting a download to start takes a long time. It is very weird.
I'm running stock.

I don't think it's the phone. I run stock and average 6-11Mbps down and 7-8Mbps up with my WPA2 Personal router connection.
I'm having data connectivity issues on the corporate Wifi (enterprise 802.1x encryption). I can connect initially, but after about 10 minutes (sometimes as much as 30 minutes), I'll lose data functionality but the wifi stays connected. My old Vibrant works fine at work, but the Amaze drops the data. It seems to happen when I switch access points. My sign-on credentials are fine. I can't seem to find any other similar issues out there and support was no help (t-mo, htc, etc). A factory reset didn't change anything. My home wi-fi works fine so this issue is a bit frustrating. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I'm feeling quite alone on this issue unfortunately....love the phone otherwise. I'm running stock.
I'm having the same problem with the router at my work. It will say connected but not data is sent or received. Any other phone works just fine on the same router. My amaze works just fine on any other router. I've disabled all security access on the router at work and the only phone that seems unable to connect to this router is the amaze. (I've tried 2 other w/the same result)

I have been using Beast mod for 3 days now and email has not been syncing, along with facebook and twitter. the sync icon has been on for a few days but nothing is syncing properly. Could it be something to do with a custom kernel?
Just to throw my 2cents in, I was struggling with connecting to the wifi at home, it would connect ok but then never transmit any data. Everything else connected and worked fine, also connected to other routers with the phone and no issues. Long story short, I limited my router to just B and G (no N) and it fixed everything. Phone works great now.
This is most bizzare. My internet on wifi was working fine until last night, but it is not working any longer. Works fine on 3G though. On wifi I am able to see connected devices on the local network and play files off my HTPC but internet browsing, google play store or anything that uses internet has stopped working and times out. All other wifi devices in my home are fine. I have reset the wifi router as well, nothing. Tried to disable and enable wifi on the phone and restarted a few times as well. Cant really put my finger on it.
Any ideas?
I updated to the SG .73 build about 3 days ago. I noticed batter battery life, no where near what I was used to on my GS2 though.
Anyhooo, any ideas guys, I am concerned.

That's unlikely to be your device. Probably the router or something.

I have also messed around with the wifi sleep policy. No issues there. Power saving is also disabled.
Could it be anything else? An app maybe? I will remove the most recent ones and report back. Badass battery monitor was the last one I installed.

Hi, along with that also try to connect to some other router and let us know if the problem persist.
The wifi connection remains active but no internet. Just thought I would add. I will connect to another wifi hotspot. My wife's GS2 tethering and report back.
I assume that you got "limited connectivity" problem.
If my assumption is true then you should try checking in your Wifi router setting, set encryption method to AES. The problem was addressed when I tried doing this and in addition, changed my Wifi channel from auto to a specific channel.
Right, not sure how this all started but like many others my internet connection (More specifically over wifi) just randomly stopped. After a fair bit of reading on both these forums and Sony's own forum, I downloaded and installed an app called WeFi Pro. Somehow this seemed to fix everything and now have a working wifi internet connection again.
Will do some more reading into this but as a fix i'd recommend installing this app. Oh BTW its free so its a win all round!!
Has anyone had issues with the HTC Media Link HD? Everytime I connect to it I am bombarded with "Data Call Failure: Error Code 67 Unable to establish wireless data conection." I can't access any internet related apps, yet I can still text and do calls. I am not connect to a wireless router, I am using wifi direct connect. Can someone try replicating this problem by connecting to the media link directly and let me know if you are getting the same error? Sprint was unable to help me with this and they even had me reset my phone so much that I lost all data connectivity and had to do two complete resets to get my data profiles to come back, yet I am still getting the persistent error code 67. All help will be appreciated.
~Seechay
Edit: After I got my data back, I attempted the media link again. I was able to get the internet working. Then I rooted the phone and found out that I know am getting the data call failure error. Does anyone have any idea why the root might be messing with my data connection?
Bump! Please if anyone has any insight at all =/
Does no one have any idea or a similar problem?
i am having the EXACT same problem as you. just picked up my media link device tonight and started toying around w/ it. sadly i have no solution at the current time.
I'm gonna make a backup and see what I can find. I've got one too. How did you guys set up WiFi direct? I'll go play around in that menu and try to figure it out.

i didn't mess with wifi direct. i let the media link app do all the configurations.
Alright, I'm ready to start diagnosing your guys' issues. I only used my home WiFi and never connected directly to the Media Link HD receiver, so I set that up and then disconnected. I am in a basement (that's where my room is), so I frequently get data drops but I always reconnected after a few minutes or just going upstairs. So, are you in a poor signal area? Have you updated your profile and PRL? Maybe try rebooting? Have you updated the Media Link to its latest firmware? I don't know what to tell you, as I tried switching between both methods of connecting to the Media Link box and couldn't replicate a complete loss of data; mine always came back on. I'm running the latest viperROM, if that makes a difference, but it shouldn't.
Edit: Hold up. When connecting directly to the Media Link's network, you lose all internet connectivity, as the phone's WiFi is connected to an internetless network, but still, you should reconnect to 3G no problem after turning off WiFi. I get the error message a couple times, but my 3G always comes back on.

When it's getting the error 67 code, its trying to enable the hotspot feature on the phone for some reason. Since you don't have it active, its erroring out.

Do you know if there is a Fix? I am wondering if I root this beast and do the Sprint Hotspot hack (If it is even available) if that would fix it.
I was out of town all weekend so I have a lot of catching up to do on the forums.
I'm having the same problem. After 30 minutes on the phone with Sprint, now I have zero data connection. Looks like it hard reset time or get a replacement.
Phone was working fine for 2 days.

The more I look around on the internet the more I think this is some kind of bug, I contacted HTC support last night hopefully they will have some idea.
I also tried running ruu lastnight and that didn't fix it, so it is either a hardware issue or software bug, and I have found no reports of direct connect media link and 3g working. So I am leaning towards a bug. Hopefully if we bug HTC enough they can fix it.

Not to rain on you guys, but my data still works after using direct connect. I got the same error acouple times because the network from the media link box has no internet, but after disconnecting, I always regained my data. Try going outside to get better reception?

I had full signal strength the entire time I was on the phone.
Hard reset fixed it of course.
Hopefully if it happens again, it will happen within my 14 window.
My 3g works while connected to media link now!
I modified the build.prop, to enable tether once I could use the sprint tether app without error 67 media link started working

Can you enlighten me on your setup? I am rooted and s off via lazy panda running the latest MeanRom. I'm trying to use WiFi tether to connect my hd media link and have 3g access. Were you successful in doing so? This would be handy when wanting to stream via 3g when wifi is not available. Thanks for your help!
Had same issue. Took phone and got a replacement. Not another issue at all.

I am running stock Rom right now. I did the build.prop mod to enable wifi tether. I kept getting error 67 I tried a number of things and sometimes I would get it to work for a little bit then stop so far nothing seems to work. I have tried working with HTC support and haven't had much luck. I am hoping to Flash Flex360 rom to see if that will solve this problem. since it has the wifi hotspot fix. I have confirmed that if the Sprint hotspot is working (not error 67) then media link works fine.
Interesting to see they swapped out phone, HTC told me the feature wasn't supported.

I got the build prop edited. As we speak I'm using 3g and media link hd. I can confirm 100% hotspot its required when direct link is used. I did get the data error a few times, but I'm unsure why. I'll keep testing. Let us know your results with the 360 rom. Thanks for the tip!
Seems to be working now, It worked, then I rebooted and it is still working, I did update firmware and radio

I had this same problem last week. I'm not sure what causes it. Check in settings/about/phone identity and look at the "current username". I had a bunch of jibberish in there. It should show your sprint email address. Turn off Wifi and update your profile. hopefully should fix it. Mine didn't fix it, I ended up running the RUU back to stock then it reset with the profile update.
