3g Internet Question - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am really puzzled about the speed and connection of 3G/Edge on my Htc HD2 - I have noticed that very often I need to disconnect and reconnect to be able to browse website because the internet connection would not respond. Upon making a new connection, after browsing for 5-10minutes, the connection seems dead and I have to disconnect and re-connect. This has been a problem since using my HTC Touch Pro2 also and the same is for the HD2.
But I also have tested the connection speed on the HTC Desire HD and internet is flawless. Only problem is the Windows Mobile 6 which seems to drop connection. Anyone has encountered similar problems and has a solution to this?
Thanks!

Try to flash your radio to the newest one. Also try android on HTC HD2 it worth it.

Well i have tried every radio but I still get this problem - it was the same on my Touch pro2 also. I initially thought it was a problem with my operator but after using the Desire on it, I realized it was Windows Mobile 6 that was the culprit. Is your internet working flawlessly without any drop?

i tried other wifi spots but still i got same results.. what seems to be the problem? do u think its hardware issues? i can detect all the wifi connections available but once i got connected, i cant browse or use the market. is it hardware?
also to add to the problem, i tried the bluetooth, i cant receive files but i can send files to others..
i think best way is to flash another ROM .. Wipe everything before you flash & see it it works otherwise flash Radio if you not having latest one Radio for Hero GSM Then i think VillainROM Guys are having you can check their forums ..and try that
i think i have issues with my wifi at home.. because when i try public wifi's i can connect to some but i also cant to some free wifi. which is weird. i have a wildfire before and this was not an issue for me
Last year I had a similar problem that I fixed by assigning my hero a static ip address. For some reason dhcp did not work.
Strangely enough I don't have that problem anymore.
Back then I had stock 1.5 OS. Now I have every ROM. Well, you know what I mean.

This could very well be an issue with your router firmware. Some routers are just plain ****ty.
Can you maintain a connection without any encryption (WEP,WPA,WPA2,etc)?

Hero not recognizing wifi router

Hi all, this issue is driving me to distraction! I've changed my internet service provider and they have sent out a new router (d-link DSL- 2680) to use and since hooking everything up my Hero no longer recognizes the router i.e. I will do a wifi scan and it will display a list of all the other routers within range but my new router will not appear on the list?! So frustrating as I use my Hero as my main internet connected devise at home! Any suggestions or help would be welcome! Thankyou!

hi, did you fix this? i have the same problem
cheers
Maby your router isnt broadcasting it's SSID ??
Hello!
I'm new here as u can see. But It's funny that I got the same router DSL- 2680 with the same issue.. My Hero is running SHPONGLE v3.6 (what a great rom!) :good:
I have three laptops which are using this router with no problems at all. Hero just doesn't like the DSL?
Problem solved
What I did: Went to routers setup. --> Wi-Fi Protected setup --> tick off Enable
It's working great now. I hope this helps u a bit, stevieg73.

[q] a70 & hd2

Have bought Archos device to use my HD2 as a source of internet, but till now there is no chance to make A70 see HD2 as Wi-Fi router (have tested Galaxy Tab - the same result, device do not see HD2). Tethering via BT is also failed - Archos is paired with HD2 but not connected.
Is there any solutions how to make Archos working through HD2 connection to Internet?
Works for me running froyo on my hd2
Yes, I know that it is possible while running Android, but I wanted to have one device with WP and another one with Android.
Have received info from WiFi Analizer app that HD2 is using Ad Hoc that is not supported by Android yet , so no chance for me. So will try to use BT thethering which is also not simple with Leo.
Is there anybody who succed to make work internet through BT thethering - have paired and once I succed to connect both devices, but even then browser failed to load pages
Make sure you're not trying to connect in the bluetooth setting - once its paired click on the 'tether' tab and assuming the apn details that you entered are correct it should just work
Bluetooth tethering works fine for me. I have Htc Hd2 on wm6.5 just put tmobile in apn settings should work was able to use it the other day to watch nfl on slingplayer. if i recall correctly i just paired it via bluetooth first then i went to the bluetooth tether and checked it on. try that.

I'm doing right the same, but tethering fails everytime
already updated to 2.2? my A101 didn't connect with tethering first.

Cellular Network x Wifi Problem

Hi guys.
I own a HTC Ultimate (HTC Titan here in Brazil) and I'm suffering for something that bothered me before in the Windows Mobile 'age'.
As the major users of smartphones, I keep my cellular connection always on and at home, or other places, I turn on my WIFI.
What happened is that, for some reason, the applications after a while stop using the WIFI connection. I know that because I often use EDGE instead 3D.
If I turn off the Cellular network, everything keeps running smooth.
Is anyone having the same behavior? I didn't see this in my HD7, as far as I remember.
Regards,
Cris

yep, I'm in.
For some reason, apps ( and browser) use 3G over wireless! I hate it and switch data to off :|
Will contact HTC to check soon.
The same for me ! I need to turn off cellular data to use wifi connection too often. I don't like it.

The Facebook is the champion. If I turn on Wifi and then open it, it will use the Wifi. If I got back and return to the App.. no more Wifi, only Cellular network.
This is the same thing on Windows Mobile. Microsoft should learn something from the competitor where they just keep one network running at a time!
What bothers me is that I don't remember this occuring in my HD7. Will put my SIM on it and try to see what happens.

Keep us updated please on HTC's reply. My 3G consumption is soaring every day
Evidence
I got an evidence yesterday that the OS is using Cellular Data while WiFi is on.
I used all my bandwidth on my plan, so Vivo as it's customers to keep a low speed or pay by MB used. This is done through the browser.
So I found that I was using the Cellular data while wifi is on when I opened the browser and receive the page from vivo asking me to choose wherever I wanna do use.
I don't know why MS still thinking that we wanna to shutdown thinks on phone to be able to use it properly. Why not implement like the others platforms where the OS just keep 1 way to connect to internet?
Amazing how they don't know how to advertise the product but know how to take away some pleasure to use the platform.
Hope they fix this in Apollo or a new OTA update. It's about time to show the users that indeed the phone can be updated OTA.

I do remember having this problem on my Windows Mobile but i have NEVER faced it with Windows Phone 7 on my Omnia 7! This is something related to HTC not Microsoft.
Quick Heads up, this is my message to HTC.
NOTE: HTC TITAN is not available on the device list, i chose the RADAR as it the one that is close to it. THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO HTC TITAN WINDOWS PHONE 7.5.
Dear Support,
Me and a lot of others who bought the HTC Titan Windows Phone 7.5 are facing a strange problem with 3G and WiFi.
For some reason, even when im connected to WiFi with internet connectivity the phone uses the Data Services from the Mobile Operator!
The fix is simple, go to settings > Mobile Network > Disable Data.
but it is actually not a solution.
This bug doesnt happen all the time, sometime traffic goes into WiFi as it should and suddenly it stopps and starts going thorugh the Cellular network!
I would love to know the reasons behind this issue (Not only me who is having it) and how to fix it (if we can do our selves).
If it is not possible to fix by my self, when HTC is going to release a fix?
Kindly note that this is NOT a Windows Phone 7.5 problem as i DO own a Samsung Omnia 7 with OS 7.5 and i dont face this problem.
Your quick reply is highly appreceated

Take a look at this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/start/connecting-how-and-when.aspx
"Your phone will typically choose a Wi-Fi connection over a cellular data connection when they're both available."
I'm afraid of this "typically". In my opinion, the correct way is to choose Wifi OR Cellular Data. One network at a time.
This week I will try to run some 'tests' on my HD7. I really don't remember having to switch of the celullar data to use correctly the wifi.
Keep us updated.

HTC Update
It looks like HTC has found the problem and is delivering an update for Titan. Can anyone confirm this?
Unfortunatly I own a Ultimate (Titan here in Brazil) and probably will take longer to Vivo test and delivery things =(
There is an update for the Titan, but I don't know if this includes the fix you are talking about, or if there will be another update?

Share internet phone connection with Flyer Wifi through bluetooth

I've just bought the Flyer Wifi the day before yesterday and I just realized that, with the Android installed (Gingerbred 2.3.4) it's is impossible in any way to connect the tablet to my phone (Htc Desire-Bravo) which has 3G. Neither with wifi nor bluetooth. Googling around (without making any test since I'm in time to give the tablet back if I'm not able to solve this problem) I noticed:
conectin to my Desire via Wifi tethering (through apps such as wifi-tethering and 5 more that I tested on my Desire) is impossible since these apps setup an ad-hoc network that it's not supported by the Flyer Wifi: in fact, in wifi settings the new wifi network (APAndroid) showed up, tries to connect but never get the ip numer;
sharing my Desire internet connection through bluetooth PAN seems to be also impossible since there are no PAN-client apps for Android
My question is: if I upgrade to Honeycomb I will be able to share my internet connection either via wifi or bt? (remember: Desire server, Flyer client).
I have just few days to decide to stay with the Flyer to give it back to the dealer and this issue is the most important one for me.
xesco
EDIT: Opsss!!! I've just realized that this is my first post! Sorry, but it's like I'm at home in this forum even if I don't participate so much...
There's a modified wpa_supplicant file floating around here that allows ad-hoc connections. I tether to my Atrix all the time.
Much more easy than I tought... I upgrade my Desire ROM to one of the last (Runnimede I think) and without anything else tethering with the Flyer now works. Next step will be doing the same with bluetooth, but, at the moment, that's enough to keep my new tablet!
Will this work for a view as well? I'm having the same issue.
