Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean :thinking: But My problem here is with the same WIFI use WEP security that I could connect when I was using JB2 and now I couldn't when I'm using JC5.
what i wanted to say is that with wep the "security" is nothing more than an illusion. if the ap is under your controll it is highly recommended to change encryption
to wpa or higher since wep can be cracked within seconds.
nevertheless if you dont controll the ap you could try to change the baseband of your phone to ih8 and see if rhis works for you.

isnt wep and security an antagonism?

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean :thinking: But My problem here is with the same WIFI use WEP security that I could connect when I was using JB2 and now I couldn't when I'm using JC5.

What FadeFx meant to say was 'isn't wep and security an oxymoron?'

However I see he's from Austria so English may not be his first language so it's understandable if gets such a word wrong ;)

You got this problem through WIFI or 3G ?

If the problem exist in both case then i dont have answer.

If it exist on wifi , try switch off and switching ON wifi. I too have the same issue, i do switch off and on whenever i open web.I do this even when the wifi is on continuously.

If it exist only with 3G then try to register your mail ID when you open antroid market ( yes ! i know this is nothing to do with such problem but i did and solved this issue).

If you did so and the same problem you got still, try here.

:setting/wireless control / mobile network setting / access point name , ( open this ) / check the authentification with normal(PAP).

Try this !!!

Thanks for your suggestion kalanjeya,

I just have this issue on WIFI only. I did try to switch on/off many times but nothing's changed.


Do you have wifi in your home ? or trying to public free network.

I agree with i7500 that it has got some wifi receiver problem. I checked with i7500 and HTC magic in a same place. where HTC won the game by showing two three wifi ID but i7500 did not .

If you are pointing out this issue, nothing we can do man.

let us wait for 2.1 OS.

Is your problem solved or not?

If not, can you please explain why it is not working? You don't see the network on your device? You try to connect but it won't let you? What does it say?

We can't really help if we don't have those information.

PS: And yes, WEP security can be cracked in seconds, but most people won't. Unless you live in a dense urban area or you know that your neighbor knows this kind of stuff, WEP will do the job.
