I bought this soft unlocked phone from one of the stores on ebay and have not been able to get wifi working. I have gone over several forums relating to similiar issues.

The issue
BB seems to detect all networks but is not able to connect to them and mostly results in "Association Failed". BB can see the gateway mac

Things I have tried
1) Make the network "Open"
2) Tried WEP encyption
3) Ensured MAC filtering is disabled
4) Enabled MAC filtering to see if the bb shows in disable mac addresses list
5) Tried Different Channels
6) Removed SIM -> Reloaded BB -> Even without SIM it detects but doesnot associate
7) Tried with SIM on which there is BES DATA Plan (No Luck)
8) Upgraded OS
9) Manually Configured the IP Addresses, Subnet mask, Gateway and DNS but no luck
10) Ensured the two service books are there, Ensured the Browser is "HotSpot Borwser"


Tried Nokia phone and it connected in the first shot over network. No hiccups and no annoyance.

I am not sure what other things i should try to make it working. The only thing i could think of now is to get a sniffer and see what and where the issue is. I was hoping OS upgrade would fix the issue but that didnot help at all. Should setting up a wifi be such a pain? It seems lots and lots of people are having similar issues with 8120, 8320, 8820 and so on....

any ideas, leads, hints, comments, suggestion would be much appreciated

I have an 8900 with the data package, on T-Mobile. It was working fine till yesterday. I was at home and noticed I was unable to make calls, it would simply say "connection failed", the phone is set to wi-fi prefferred. So I set it to mobile network prefferred and I was able to make calls. I reset my phone and my computer as well as my router, I even made it an open network. My phone goes on the internet thru UMA, but it will not recieve or make calls when I am on UMA. I also noticed I do not recieve text as well when on UMA. Like I said this problem just occured I don't know if it is my router or my phone. I am going to try to go to another wireless network to see if I still have the same problem. I appreciate in advance any help you could offer me as I am at a loss. ]]> WiFi HotZone Jorge.a http://www.blackberryforums.com/wifi-hotzone/211249-uma-problem-need-some-help.html http://www.blackberryforums.com/wifi-hotzone/210682-wifi-hotspot-hotmail-problem.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:46:39 GMT just received new 8820. trying to setup to receive hotmail from wifi hotspot, once connected and try to set up hotmail, get the error message that... just received new 8820. trying to setup to receive hotmail from wifi hotspot, once connected and try to set up hotmail, get the error message that desktop browser not supported, i do not have a data plan, can someone please tell me how to get past this and use wifi to check my hotmail account, thanks ]]> WiFi HotZone phemby http://www.blackberryforums.com/wifi-hotzone/210682-wifi-hotspot-hotmail-problem.html http://www.blackberryforums.com/wifi-hotzone/210470-wondering-how-works.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:55:49 GMT This may sound pretty dumb, but I know very little about wifi, what exactly is it, how does it work, & what do I have to do to login/use an at&t hotspot?

I am having difficulty with my browser. I get the error message:
"this is a wi-fi service. please ensure your device has an active wi-fi connection and try again"
whenever I search on google or any other default search from the "go" page, and also on other sites.
I have combed through a few related threads, and other people's problems seem to stem from not having the "internet browser" as their default browser... I have internet browser as my default browser and always have, it is only since yesterday that I have had any difficulty using the browser without wifi, normally EDGE and GPRS work fine. So what is the problem here??
Please if there are any similar threads can someone direct me to them, all I seem to be finding is ppl who haven't even set up internet browser in the first place ]]> WiFi HotZone DJBucko2009 http://www.blackberryforums.com/wifi-hotzone/210406-8520-curve-cannot-use-edge-gprs.html http://www.blackberryforums.com/wifi-hotzone/210290-traveling-asia.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:35:35 GMT Hi, I have the Blackberry 8300 Curve and am with Rogers here in Canada. I'm heading to Tokyo and Taipei next week for work until the end of the month and need to have my work emails accessible instantly at any time, given the time difference.

What is the most cost efficient way for me to receive my emails while I am abroad? I don't need the BB for use as a regular phone, so I don't need a voice plan. Wifi and turn off my mobile network manually? Pay Rogers for an overseas roaming plan?

Thanks! ]]> WiFi HotZone qimburlee http://www.blackberryforums.com/wifi-hotzone/210290-traveling-asia.html http://www.blackberryforums.com/wifi-hotzone/210236-programming-p2p-app-over-wifi.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:11:54 GMT Hi,
Let's suppose we want to develop an application to communicate two blackberry devices over wifi. Both devices are in the same LAN. Starting with the fact that multicast and broadcast are disabled for UDP packages, so what would be the best solution to make them discover each other (without typing any IP).

I don´t want to include an external server to help them find each other, but if it is the only option...what would be a proper protocol to do so? This will be a discover protocol, once they are both visible, they should make a direct connection.

This is very confusing I'm newbie in BB programming; in iphone we have bonjour to solve this problem. Is there anything in blackberry? I believe there must be some game that needs this too. ]]> WiFi HotZone malatorr http://www.blackberryforums.com/wifi-hotzone/210236-programming-p2p-app-over-wifi.html http://www.blackberryforums.com/wifi-hotzone/210069-bb-9700-wifi-connection.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:53:24 GMT Hello,

I am not able to access the internet with my wifi connection. When I look in my router client's list, I see my phone MAC address is connected. I can also confirm the IP address in both my phone and router. The SSID name appear on my phone. When I go in Manage Connections, I see a blue checkmark beside Wi-Fi, followed by my SSID shown in Green, but at the right end side, there is an indent (-). I think I should see a checkmark instead this indent.

I am sure that if I would have that checkmark, when I would go on internet, I would see the Wifi icon white instead of grey.

Can someone can explain why this happen and what I should set to see that checkmark?
