My N8 does not recognize or connect to unsecured wifi network.  I don't know why but even my old N82 picks up unsecured wifi networks without a problem. 
Does anyone know why?  I need help please.

I cehcked both settings and none picks up unsecured wifi.  It only picks up 2 or 3 wifi networks in a range of about 14 wifi networks.

There is no reason why your N8 won't connect to unsecured wifi. I do all the time with mine.
Have you actually tested it out with an unsecured access point where your N82 sees it but not the N8.
The only setting I can think of that could possibly cause this is Settings>Connectivity>Settings>Switch to WLAN, if you set this to Known Wlan's only, you need to first add this wifi as a new access point before you can use it with most apps.
Yes, I have tested it with my N82 and my laptop also.  Both the N82 and the laptop pick up the unsecured wifi network but not the N8.  I checked the settings and even called for tech support but they couldn't even help me.  I was told that I they are going to look into it.  I might have to have to send the phone in for a replacement.

  • After sleep, retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2014) does not recognize usb connected mouse movement

    After sleep, retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2014, on 10.9.4) does not recognize usb connected mouse movement. I have tried a generic usb mouse and my Razer Deathadder usb mouse. Both mice work before sleep; but after sleep, the computer no longer recognizes mouse movement while still recognizing the mouse buttons when pressed. Any idea why this is occurring?

  • Ovi Suite/PC Suite does not recognize the connecte...

    Error message: "Ovi Suite/PC Suite does not recognize the connected phone.Ovi Suite/Pc Suite cannot read the required information from the phone.Check that the connected phone is supported by Ovi Suite/PC Suite".
    You can try this which can solve your problem.
    1. Disconnect your phone from PC if connected.
    2 .Open Control Panel and go to ‘Programs and Features’
    3. From the list of available programs, choose ‘Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver’
    4. Click on the ‘Change’ button on top toolbar. 
    5. In the setup dialog box that pops up next, choose ‘Repair’ and select ok. Wait for setup to complete.
    6. Restart the computer if prompted.
    7. Now connect your phone to the PC. Driver installation should complete and PC/Ovi suite (hopefully) should detect your mobile properly now.

    @ Omarbooyaka,
    Welcome to the forum! You should use Nokia Suite to update your device to Belle. If still the same, please go to control panel > printer and devices > right click the phone icon > remove the device. Then try to connet again. Also try all the steps provided by magovoru. Could you also report the issue here if connection still does not work.
    Hope this helps!

  • Nokia Updater does not recognize N91 connected via...

    My fone has gone loco on me of late.. freezes about 3ce a day, and after deleting EVERY thing on my phone memory without any improvements, i decided to get an update on the software. problem is, the new updater 1.02.03 or sumn.. does not recognize that my phone is connected, even though the new pc suite does when i try it out.. what could i be doing wrong? (yes, i checked, there is an update for the code my phone carries) thanks for the help (i hope i get..)

    Hi,
    I faced this problem, make sure you have the latest updater and the PC suite installed. The best would be to remove both from your computer and fresh download and install.
    Once you have installed it on the PC, now connect the phone (a PC suite is also installed on ur phone during the PC suite installation on the computer). I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE THE CABLE THAT CAME WITH UR PHONE.
    Select PC suite from the phone.
    Start the updater as it is starting, u will see the prompt "Phone Disconnected from the PC suite" on your computer.
    Now it should (ideally) start the process.
    Cheers
    NOTE: YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA.. and FW should be 2.10.xxx (as i think this is the lates one yet)

  • Desktop Manager does not recognize USB Connection

    I have installed the Desktop Manager for MAC (v1.0.2) on my MacBook Pro Snow Leopard10.6.3.
    When I connect my Storm 9520 the Mac OS recognizes the media storage drives in the 'Finder'.  I can copy files to and from the device media using 'Finder' but the Desktop Manager does not recognize that the device is plugged into the USB (yes I have tried both USB connectors).
    file:///Users/Nigel/Desktop/WaitingForUSB.jpg

    I have an 8310, Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6 and the BB desktop v 1.0.2 build 8.  It recently stopped recognizing the USB connection as well.  I was able to sync my BB with the MAC but can no longer do so.  The MAC mounts the BB and I can access the SD card.  What gives here?

  • Aperture does not recognize Internet connection with SmugMug

    When I try to add an account for SmugMug, the Accounts dialog box shows, "Your computer is not connected to the Internet. Aperture needs an Internet connection to login to SmugMug."
    I added a Flickr account with no problems. How can I get Aperture to recognize that I have an Internet connection for SmugMug?

    ** Workaround **
    The problem appears to be with some routers in the network -- for example my Netgear R6300. When I hooked my iMac (running Mavericks) directly to the cable modem with an Ethernet cable, Aperture was able to authenticate with the SmugMug service (using Safari). The Apple Professional Applications technician suggested trying that, and it worked.
    After replacing the original network configuration, where the iMac is connected through the Netgear router, Aperture maintained the SmugMug shared service, and I was able to upload and download photos with SmugMug.
    Confirmed that this insane workaround did work. ***, Apple and/or SmugMug? This should be fixed. It doesn't jive with Apple's "ease of use" software mantras.
    BTW -- I have a Netgear WNDR4500 v1 in between the world and my Mac.

  • AEBS does not recognize Ethernet connected PC

    I have successfully replaced my DLink wireless router with the AirPort Extreme. I have 2 wireless connections to Macs and two Ethernet connections to two other Macs. A PC is attached by Ethernet to the AEBS but it will not connect to the internet through the AEBS. It worked fine on the DLink. What suggestions do you have for me? Thanks in advance.

    figured it out myself. Darn complicated PCs.

  • HP8570W with HP230W enhanced docking station does not recognize DMI connections

    Hi,
    I have an HP 8570W workstation with the HP230W enhanced docking station. I have three monitors plugged in - one VGA, and two DMI. Everything has been working for about a year. Suddenly today the desktop started jumping around and then the DMI monitors went dark. I checked in resolution and they do not show up anymore. I rebooted. I took laptop off docking station and retarted and plugged back in. I unplugged and replugged the DMI cable. Nothing helped.
    Any idea what to try next?
    Thanks,

  • Creative MediaSource 5 Player does not recognize my Zen

    Hello,
    I have the Creative MediaSource 5 player and never had this problem before, but now it does not recognize or connect with my Zen V player. I do not know what is going on. Everytime I connect my Zen now I get a window giving me choices of players to use with my Zen and the Creative player is not longer in this list... I have not made any changes.
    Help.... Anyone :robotsad:
    Thanks,
    kanela.

    Jezuz,
    If you have update the player firmware to the PlayForSure firmware version, you will need to also update your copy of the Media Explorer to the version that can support it. Go back to the download page where you download the firmware and look for "Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update" and "Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8)".
