I have some problems connecting to the WIFI...what gives?

How do i know the WIFI is connected? I go to the WIFI screen. Can see the blue WIFI access point surrounding the center circle.

So i drag the WIFI icon into the middle icon and it says "connecting to XXXXX". But the dotted line and the icon keeps flashing, and the icon on top keeps showing moving animation.

I'm trying to connect to my home network/wifi using this:
1) Hidden WPA2-PSK - this currently works for all my notebooks and other phones, but Omnia 2 cannot, even after i setup the password and everything.

2) Secondary SSID, Open, No authentication - also failed, keeps showing the flashing icon.

How the h*** do i know if it is connected to the WIFI? Blinking means connected or not? The user manual doesn't says anything!!!

I've set Browser connection to 'Internet', but Opera cannot access the internet.

Please help!! Noob here!

When you're connected, you'll have an icon (1) on your taskbar and you'll also see the signal bars (2) below your connection name.

If you can't connect, maybe you have the password entered wrongly, or try move nearer to you wireless hub, without any walls or partition in between your hub and device.

For the connection regarding Opera, see if there are any setting within the Opera browser itself.

Thank you very much.

What i can see is for:
1) The icon on top has the two arrows keeps moving in both direction. Does this means connected or is it not suppose to animate?
2) I can't remember this one, but i'll check

Also in my case, the WIFI AP (In this case, PRESHION icon), the blue circle and the dotted line will keep flashing. I have rule out incorrect password because even an open connection is also the same. Distance is also not a problem as i'm sitting next to the WIFI modem router!!!

If the 2 arrows of the taskbar icon is moving, it means that there are data transfering or your device is trying to connect to your router.

When trying to connect, the blue circle and dotted line will keep flashing, but once it is connected it'll stop.

Do you have the signal bars below the connection name?

ADD: Try unhide your WIFI router.

Thanks, the WIFI is already unhide. But i'm broadcasting multiple SSID...primary hidden and locked, secondary unhidden and unlocked.

At least now i know what to look for. I don't think i've ever seen the flashing stopped.

Can you try delete off both SSID and restart your device.

At the meantime, set your SSID to unhide, but with a password (security lock).

Search and add your (new) SSID on your device.

Ok, will try that tonight. smile.gif

I've just solved my WIFI woes.

There was a few problems, i discovered:
1) Secondary SSID doesn't seems to work.

Basically my main problem was i MISSPELLED the WIFI name...doh.gif...The first letter is in CAPITAL, but i put LOWER CASE letter....just one letter!!! doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

Anyway, also tweaked the network settings ...maybe that helped too.

Now i've a new challenge...how to put a customized link to make it shown up in the Start Menu? I've created a NEWSMS.LNK and dumped it into the \Windows folder. But it does not show on the screen. Basically i want a CREATE NEW SMS shortcut directly on the Homescreen.

Any ideas??

Thanks. I've found out last night, you need to put in the \Windows\Menu (or is it \Windows\Start Menu ). The shortcut is made available for selection and
now i can put it into the homescreen to create a new SMS directly.

I've found out another thing. The WIFI does not work if your phone is plugged into the USB port of the PC. Just to share some info.

u cant say he cheasted u la..
he offered a price,u agreed on it.
a deal is a deal.
it's like u go pasar vege sell for rm1,jusco sell rm1.50,is that a fraud?
no la...right?
u install the map in your pc is it?u have to copy the .img file into your garmin folder~

Cannot say like that. Buying a phone is NOT buying vege. doh.gif

There should be a standard market retail price for all these. Like you buy LCD TV from one shop to the other. The price difference is usually minimal, unless got special promotion. A difference of RM350 accounts to 15% is no small amount.

Maybe Samsung not enforcing the RRP price for the dealers, who knows.

Regardless, one should always research when buying gadgets like phones especially an expensive one.

Nvr mind-ler, as long as user is happy now. thumbup.gif At least he didn't pay RM4K for an iphone 3GS...there are people selling at this price!!! Believe it!
