Now Phone Forgets/Can't Make WiFi Connection?

Beyond all of my other app issues and operating system force close issues with my Droid Charge (almost paperweight) phone unit . . . Starting two days ago it is now UNABLE TO ESTABLISH A WiFi CONNECTION!!!
Nothing has changed with the router or password (all of our other WiFi equipment works just fine) and I have even 'removed' the connection from the phone and re-added it. NOPE.
I am not one who 'Cries Wolf' or takes to conspiracy theories (just a normal professional business person) - And have had cell phones since there were in a bag with battery . . . BUT THE DROID CHARGE IS AN ABSOLUTE PIECE OF JUNK.
Any VZW assistance is always appreciated.
ALL ANYONE WANTS IS A PHONE (that's still under contract) THAT WORKS.

Jim,
Your problem sounds like it's the phone but do check these things.
Recheck to see these things:  Go to Wireless & Networks and touch WiFi settings.  It should start scanning.  Go down to Add Network and again add your SSID and Security passphrase.  I say this because it sounds like your phone is not keeping (holding) your SSID and/or security passphrase settings so entering them here may work as opposed to entering then when a network is found through scanning.
Then go down to Advanced and set the Wi-Fi sleep policy to NEVER and also make sure Use Static IP is checked. Leave IP address and Gateway unused. 
If this does not work then do a more than 10 Minute battery pull.  This is NOT like a factory reset.  Remove your battery for more than 10 minutes.  Then re-install the battery and reboot your phone and again recheck or reenter your SSID and passphrase.  If that doesn't fix your problem I am fresh out of ideas.

    Can you send SMS by using the mobile data network instead of Wi-Fi? I had the same problem setting up my 5s from a backup of my 4s. Only after I sent an SMS via mobile data network, somehow iMessage and FaceTime got activated a couple of minutes later without me doing anything else.
    I even changed my Apple ID password, because at one point I could not log into my account when iMessage asked for my account details.
    If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support

  • Can't make a connection from JDeveloper 10g (9.0.5.0) to WebLogic 8.1

    I can't make a connection from JDeveloper 10g (9.0.5.0.0) to WebLogic 8.1
    When I click "Test connection" JDeveloper 10g writes the following:
    Cannot instantiate class: weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
    Have somebody ever established a connection from JDeveloper 10g (9.0.5.0) to WebLogic 8.1? How to do this?

    It connects successfully now. Thank you for the information.
    But it does nothing when I try to deploy my J2EE application.
    I right-click on Resources -> application.deploy, choose "Deploy to" -> my connection. It starts to do something obscure.
    Then I go to the WebLogic console and it shows that there is no my application.

  • Satellite Pro 4600: When I use WEP, I can't make any connection anymore

    Hey everybody,
    When I connect my Tohsiba Satellite Pro 4600 via the build-in wireless network card without WEP to an AP, there is no problem, connection is establische and everything is working fine.
    When I use WEP, I can't make any connection anymore.
    Is there a solution to use 128 Bit WEP encryption on a Thosiba Pro 4600 laptop with the build-in WLAN.
    Thanks in advanced
    Pokettuk

    What WLan card do you use?
    As far as I know the notebook should be equipped with the Wireless LAN / WiFi Standard: 802.11b ORiNOCO Mini PCI card.
    This card supports security 64 WEP or 128 RC4.
    Everything looks like you WLan card doesnt support the same security standard like your WLan router. You should understand that this WLan card is an oldie about 7 years old.
    I think the best solution is to use the external USB WLan stick which would support the newest encryption standards
    Bye

    create a ODBC Datasource by using the "Microsoft ODBC Manager"
    then write following connectionstring "user/pasword@odbc:odbc_source"

  • I recently installed CS4, and I can not make a connection to my website.  Message an FTP error occurred and cannot make a connection to host. The remote host cannot be found.

    I recently installed CS4, and I can not make a connection to my website.  Message an FTP error occurred and cannot make a connection to host. The remote host cannot be found.

    Open up your site definition (double-click on the site name in the File panel or choose Site > Manage Sites > Edit) and go to the Remote Info category. There, click Use Firewall (if it isn't already selected) - press Test to try the default firewall settings. If that doesn't work, click Firewall Settings. You'll see two relevant settings about 2/3 down - Firewall host and Firewall port. If Firewall port is 21, there probably is something blocking the port.
    On Windows XP, you may have the Windows Firewall installed and blocking. Here's how you get to it:
    To open Windows Firewall
    1.
    Click Start and then click Control Panel.
    2.
    In the control panel, click Windows Security Center.
    3.
    Click Windows Firewall.
    Once you have that open, you'll need to set Dreamweaver as an exception to blocking:
    On the Exceptions tab, click Add                     Program.
    In the list of programs, click the name of the program (Dreamweaver) that you                     want to add, and then click OK. If the name of your program is                     not in the list of programs, click Browse to locate the Dreamweaver.exe in the Program Files folder and then click OK.
    Hope this helps - Joe

  • TS1347 I use outlook caledar.  When I add events to my calendar on my I-phone it won't synch back to my computer.  It only synchs items from my computer to my I-phone.  Can I make it go both ways?

    I use microsoft outlook for my calendar.  When I sync it to my I-Phone it will only sync new items from my computer to my I-Phone.  If I add an item to my phone it won't sync it back to my computer.  How can I make it go both ways?  This has been ever since I added I-cloud.

    As long as you have Calendars enabled under Settings > iCloud then you should be loading up to iCloud.
    Open your Calendar app and select "Calendars" in the top left corner, in this menu make sure that default calendar named "Calendar" is listed underneath "iCloud" as oppposed to "On this iPhone".
    If it is, then you're golden. Double check by adding an event to your Calendar app and then log into www.icloud.com and see if the event appears in the Calendar on the website.
    And to keep your Outlook from syncing using iTunes, just make sure when you connect your iPhone to the computer, when it shows you the device.... in the "Info" tab, you want to make sure Calendars is not selected. It doesn't need to be selected because iCloud is doing the work now.

  • Debugger: Can't make a connection

    Hi there,
    When debugging my application, I can't seem to make a connection to the debugger. I've tried the "right-click" the swf, choose 'debugger', choose 'other machine' and enter '127.0.0.1' option but I still can't connect. 'localhost' doesn't work either. I've looked everywhere for a solution and no one really seems to understand why this is occuring. I've also tried uninstalling some the various suggested plugins in Firefox but to no avail. Note: I can't connect on either Mac Firefox (3.0.13) or Safari.
    Details:
    Flash Builder 3
    Flash Player version MAC 10,0,32,18
    Debug Player: yes
    Mac OS 10.4.11
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Sometimes I wonder if I can honestly call myself a Flash/Flex developer...
    It turns out I didn't place a breakpoint in my app. The minute I did and debugged, voila! I now have a working and connected debugger.
    Thanks fo ryour help, BaBO. I appreciate it.

  • Can't find WiFi connections on my iPhone

    Hi guys,
    Apologies if this has been covered in another topic, but my problem is not alone, connecting to WiFi, my iPhone doesn't even find any WiFi connections any longer all of a sudden, unless I'm sitting right beside the router at my computer so I'm guessing there might be a problem with the antenna possibly, or possibly not?? I tried resetting settings, restoring the iphone to factory settings (and losing all the apps I've purchased over the last 12 months in the process, doh) taking the sim card out and putting back in but still no joy. Anyone else experience anything simular and can offer advice, any info would be much appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Chris

    As with all other iTunes content that is available on your iPhone, all 3rd party apps installed on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library and would be with Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. This should be selected for a number of reasons with this being one of them. With Sync Apps selected, after downloading/installing an app with your iPhone, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. This also allows for downloading an app with iTunes on your computer and installing the app on your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. To remove an app without deleting the app, deselect the app under the apps tab followed by a sync. To reinstall the app again later, reselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. When restoring your iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, all apps will or can be re-installed on your iPhone when syncing since all apps are in your iTunes library where they should be.
    If no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone and/or after restoring your iPhone with iTunes with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, your iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or with something else.

  • How can i make a connection between an application and a database over net

    dear sir
    how can i make connection between an appliction and a database over internet while the client side appliction is behind proxy and firewall
    for example how the live update of norton antivirus makes connection to the data server to make comparetions and get new virus definitions
    does that depend on sockets technology ?
    what references can guide me to the solution please?

    The ability to do so depends entirely on the JDBC driver implementation having some proxy method. It needs to recognize the HTTP or SOCKS proxy and use them to connect, and the firewall and proxy need to allow those specific port connections.
    To the best of my knowledge, all of these update utilities, e.g. live update for Netscape, Norton, etc., do not connect directly to the database. As it is, no sane security person would allow a database to be exposed to the Net. Rather, they connect using HTTP or HTTPS, which normally traverses firewalls just fine, to connect to a Web or application server on the far end. That application server then parses the request and retrieves whatever it needs to from the database.
    In other words, you cannot have a 2-tier client/server application. You need a 3-tier application:
    your client -> Web/app server -> database
    where the connection from your client to the Web/app server is over http or https through the firewall and proxies.
    Hope this helps.

  • Have done all the trouble shooting connection but my iPad still can not get wifi connection

    i have done all the trouble shooting connection but mu iPAd still can not get wifi connection

    Hi Jo,
    Each router is a little different but here are the basics: login to the router using the administrator account, should have that info from the installer, and then you should find something like security settings, or it may be advanced security.  There will be a setting to the effect of limiting access, or it may say allow Mac address authentication, or admit the Mac addresses in the table...if that is switched on, you can just switch it off and that will allow any wireless device to attach.  If you want to keep it on, then you have to enter the Mac address for the device you want to use for access.  In the case of the iPad, go to Settings > General > About > WiFi Address (another way of saying Mac address).  Enter that very long sequence in the router's Mac address acceptance table and that should take care of things.
    Using the Mac address does not change any of the email settings, just limits attaching to the router in the first place.
    If you are already getting email, you must be attaching already so this should not be an issue.  If you are having email issues, such as receive but not send, you may not have the outgoing server set correctly: Settings > Mail > Account > Outgoing server name (usually an SMTP server) and you may have to go to the advanced settings to enter the outgoing password (normally the same as the account/incoming password) and then check to see if SSL is ON or OFF...most common email services say to set to OFF.
