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.
A couple of days ago my wireless connection quit working at home. The wireless network icon turned white all the time, and never switched to green. I hard wire the modem/router (ATT Uversre 2Wire 3800HGV-B) into a 5 port switch and plug my computer, network storage drive, and media streaming box into the switch. I've had all of this set up for a few months in it's current configuration and there was never an issue before. This just seemingly happened out of the blue...funny how computers do that sometimes, right? I have an HTC Aria, I was running CM7 RC1 when the problem happened, I just updated to RC2 hoping maybe it would change and it didn't.
After reading posts and checking settings here's what I've found:
My wireless router is set to act as the DHCP server. I set all of the IP addresses manually. I've had it set this way for some time, haven't made any changes recently. The attached network storage (D-Link DNS 323 also has DHCP server capability, but that is disabled)
I found that while my phone was set in the router's setting to connect to 192.168.1.67 for whatever reason it was connecting to 192.168.0.200 (which is out of range, my DHCP is set to address to 192.168.1.64 - 192.168.1.253)
Any idea what would cause this?
I have a temporary fix right now, I've set the phone for static IP and entered all the values. It now connects to my home network on the correct IP and appears to work. This will be a hassle though because there will likely be conflicts when I try to connect to public wifi or at my office. I could just go in and set it back to automatic IP when I leave home....but that is a hassle, and obviously, something isn't working quite right.
Anybody have a clue what would be making this happen?
thanks!

I don't understand when you say your router is your DHCP server but you set all the addresses manually...I can understand setting your network storage and media streaming to static IP's but you may want to reconsider for everything else, if your router allows for that to happen.
Have you tried rebooting your router and switch? May be worth doing that. I would not recommend a RESET because you'll have to reconfigure everything and I know how much of a hassle that is.
So, when you say you set the phone for static IP, do you mean through the phone gui or through the router?
Another thing to check is the number of available IP addresses. You could be out. I doubt this is the case in a home network, but never hurts to check.

I have somewhat of a similar situation... I just installed CM7 RC2 and I can connect to my home's wifi and browse the internet etc... but some apps like Facebook won't update. With Facebook, I can retrieve messages sent to me but the news feed never updates and I can't view profiles. And for some reason everything works when I use my university's wifi...

Didn't help I don't get what's happening. I can use the browser fine but certain applications always time out and won't update.
I have the same problem. I've found the following apps to not work correctly when I connect my Sprint HTC Evo 4G (CM 7.0.3.1) to my home wireless network (Apple Airport Extreme Base Station):
Facebook (news feed won't update)
Amazon MP3 (Only the cloud player doesn't work)
Netflix (won't let me log in)
Speedtest (downloads fine but shows 0.00Mbps for uploads)
Again, all features works great on 3G or on the wifi at work (a university network running WPA2 Enterprise with LEAP authentication), which leads me to suspect there's something wrong with my home wifi setup. I have updated the Airport Extreme to the latest firmware and reset it several times yet the problem persists. Any ideas?
I have recently lost my signal from my WiFi at home but my phone still picks up the WiFi signals from the neighbors. I exchanged my first 3d for a new one but I still have the same problem. My ipod still picks up and uses the WiFi signal and was wondering if anybody knew why this maybe happening.
Thanks,

Try resetting your router. Or try updating the firmware of the router. Also try forgetting the network in wifi settings and then try logging back in. Or do a factory wipe.

just turn wifi on and off, no biggie, works pretty well.
Check out WiFi Fixer in the app market. Solved all of my problems.
Whoa, before you do all that other stuff.
So your ipod works with your router? And your phone connects to your neighbor's router? If so then most likely your router isn't a problem, nor is your phone.
Android's wifi stack does a really good job of automagically connecting to the best available wifi spot. Do you see your wifi router in the Wifi settings? If so, long press and connect to it. If you have authentication set, then it will prompt you for a password.
Let's start with that then go with more, if needed, and will probably need more information that you provide.
My phone doesn't even see my WiFi connection, it can see all the other connections only... I've traded my phone in not only for this problem but other problems and this problem still looms. I'm thinking its in my settings that were transferred from my other phone? I don't know, help please...

Man its might be your router. Have ya even tried just resetting the router back to factory defaults??? Its a tiny pin size hole on the back of your router "or at least it.should be" Henceforth, find a needle or safety pin and press the that button for like 10 or 15 seconds and wailt 2 to 4 min. After that go to your wifi settings on your phone and click on your network name and chose forget. Now look for your new network name and which should be an open and unsecured network. It should have the manufacturing abbreviation in the network name so if its say a belkin it might be -belkin123 unsecured- also it should be open because when you reset the router it erases all of the security. Also routers firmware should always be upgrade. Not saying this will solve your issue but it might and its a really quick way to rule out if its your router.

Some of the "perm-temp" root scripts caused this, if you used some of the older ones, you may be experiencing this.
The solution to it was to "forget" all your wifi connections on the phone, power it off/battery pull, then reconnect.
Of course, if this doesn't fit your scenario, disregard.
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.
Hope someone can help with this: rooted the other day using the htc unlocker method. so s-on with root and still stock rom..have not changed anything other than install busybox. no other changes. have not even gotten to flashing roms yet. So the phone will not recognize my home towifi. when it scans for networks, it sees everybody (neighbors) but mine as being in range (even tho i am sitting next to it). at one point i finally got it to connect yesterday, but then when i went to work it never disconnected and returned to 3g, so when i went to use my internet for something it said it was still connected, when in fact it wasn't. so no data and no 3g. I had to physically turn off wifi to get the phone to be able to connect to 3g. now i am back home, it will not connect again. the phone does not see my network as being "in range", therefore will not connect.
I have several other devices that connect to the network just fine (like my laptop I am typing on).
any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
There's an app called WiFi analyzer and WiFi manager available on the play store. Idk y it isn't connecting to your WiFi now when it did before, but maybe one of these 2 apps can help.
WiFi analyzer will tell u what channels thw other WiFi networks are on in your area. It could be an issue of interference. It will also tell u the best channel to put your WiFi on to avoid that interference.
Do u have best WiFi performance on in settings-WiFi? Turn it off/on see if it makes a difference. Off is optimal since it kills batteries.
WiFi manager helped my phone recognize and connect to open networks quicker than stock settings did. Maybe try that as well.
Is your connection password secured? WPA/WPA2, WPK? Is it a linksys router? Try making a static ip for your phone. My phone would never connect at work on an open network until I made it a static ip. Or it would connect and never send data.
Actually, try that first, I forgot about that. If its an older linksys router that's probably what it is.

I will try some of those things, but I don't think that is it. whatever is wrong is coming from root. everything was fine before that. and i don't know anything about setting up a static ip. not a linksys, btw.

Root doesn't have anything to do with your WiFi. It is highly unlikely anyways. Google how to set up static ip. U can do it right from your phone.
Your router doesn't show up at all or does is try to connect and nothing? Mine tried to connect and nothing. To set up a static ip your phone needs to at least see the router.
If you're rooted are u s-off? Either way, try installing a rom of your choice and doing a full wipe to clear out whatever is causing the issue. Maybe try installing new radios/firmware. RUU to newest ota version.
Good luck!

downloaded wifi analyzer, but that doesn't really help me figure out why the wifi will not connect or disconnect properly. As stated in my original post I am rooted, s-on, with unlocked bootloader htc method. this problem is almost exactly the same problem i had my samsung s2 when it first came out. the radio would not wake up after sleeping and the wifi radio was all messed up. In exactly the same way..
once it connects it is ok, but when i leave the house it never disconnects! so when i go out, it does not switch over to the 3g radio, and at that point i have to TURN OFF wifi. When I come back in the house then i have to go through another long process of trying to get it to connect to my wifi again. I did not change ANYTHING after rooting. So it has got to be related to that somehow....it just says. "MWOI0 not in range", but yet it will show 5 others in the neighborhood as being available (all secured like mine).
Does your regular computer/laptop connect to your wifi?
Have you rebooted your router/modem?
We had a power outage/surge one day and the computers connected still had connection, but the items which were disconected (phones left house for work) would not reconnect.
I know it sounds simple, but we spent half an hour figuring out why some devices had wifi and some didn't.
You are seeing neighbors wifi's, that's why I suggest this.
I also noticed this other thread, maybe related,

There's an app called tasker in play store that allows u to turn on/off wifi by location automatically. It costs a pretty penny, but definitely worth it. The possibilities are exponential with that app.
Look into setting a static ip & change the channel on your router. Give u advice and u don't want to try it. Do u really want it fixed or is it just an annoyance u like to complain about?
Static ip worked for my phone in a similar situation. Up to u to implement the fixes.
