Runaway WLAN Connection on Nokia E71

Recently everytime I tried to use a WLAN connection I was getting a message the WLAN connection was already active.  If I terminated the active connection it would automatically restart the connection and continue sending data over the WLAN.  To keep it from sending data I had to delete all defined WLAN access points which required me to get out of range of the access point it was using as that point would not delete while active.  I'm a novice user but this seemed to be acting like a virus or some other malware.  Can anyone confirm?  Thanks

Turn off the scan for available WLAN in the WLAN settings. Delete all accesspoints you dont need and no, it's not a virus.

  • Wlan connectivity issue with E71

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect my E71 to my NETGEAR wireless DG834GT router and there is this consistent problem of E71 successfully loading the first page but hang on the subsequent clicks. I tried to disable the security setting on my router and it works perfectly.
    However when i try to enable back my security with WPA-PSK preshared key, the problem arises. I notice that during creation of access point in E71, when i enter my password for the preshared key, the display always show 4 asterisks despite the fact that i have a 9 character password. Is this a bug with nokia e71 ? How am i going to resolve this ? Any help is deeply appreciated as my main reason for getting a E71 is to surf in wlan with security enabled.
    thanks and regards
    Andrew

    It was basically this:
    "In response to your email, I would suggest trying the following steps to connect to WLAN:
    1. Menu > Web > Options > Settings > General > Access Point > Always Ask
    2. Select one of the available Bookmarks or open a web page of your choice
    3. When the phone prompts you to connect to a server, select "Yes"
    4. The phone will populate a list of Available Access Points
    5. Scroll and look for Search for WLAN
    6. Select your WLAN provider
    6. Key in any passwords or pass-keys required to authorize you to access the WLAN network
    In the event the above-mentioned steps do not resolve the issue, I would suggest switching off any security features of your WLAN router and testing your phone once again or you may also test your phone with a free WLAN network service which is usually available at cafes.
    Please take note that you would be required to contact your Internet Service Provider on the details which needs to be keyed in while creating the WLAN access point.
    However, in the event that your phone does not work with a free WLAN service or after you disable the security features of your WLAN router, please take the phone to your nearest Nokia Care Point. They will assess if a repair is required and advise if this may be covered under the warranty."
    I had already explained to them that all works ok without any security. With network security, no go.
    I politely sent this back and have asked them (again.....) to escalate, which they have said they will now do. Please contact Nokia Care with the same issue as the more people that tell them, the more they will take it seriously, hopefully.
    They will need your IMEI, software version (type *#0000# from home screen), product code (beneath battery) and details of your router.
    Cheers.

  • Nokia E71 OBEX PC Suite Services

    Hello Everyone.
    Please understand my environment first before posting any solutions.
    I have installed E-Blue Mini Nova Bluetooth USB Dongle in my Toshiba notebook and it has been successfully installed all of its Windows Vista drivers. I than connect my Nokia E71 phone with my notebook using bluetooth link and have been paired successfully from Nokia PC Suite software. When i finish pairing my Nokia E71 with PC Suite software, it shows me a balloon there in task bar that some drivers needs to be installed and when i clicked on the Services button under the properties button of my Nokia E71 in the Bluetooth Devices box. It shows me that the drivers for the following three services didn't installed properly and that Windows Vista was asking me to put a CD in the drive in order to update the drivers. The services which needs to be installed drivers for Nokia E71 are
    1. Nokia OBEX PC Suite Services
    2. Nokia SyncML Server
    3. SyncML DM Client
    Can anyone help me out in this scenario so that i could install the drivers in order to use these services too.
    Awaiting for reply.
    Naeem

    Hi Sage.
    Thank you for your comments. Please note that i have tried to do all these things for about couple of times but didn't get success. Now, my phone is paired successfully with my notebook and with my Nokia PC Suite software. The three services which i have written in my first message was not activating as whenever i tried to check on those services, a small balloon in the task bar started to locate for the drivers and hence i do not have the drivers for those three services. Those are mentioned as Bluetooth Peripheral Device in the Device Manager of my notebook.
    Please let me know if you have any other solution for this.

  • E71 WLAN connection problem

    hello, i just brought a nokia E71 about 2 hours ago, and i get home to setup the wlan settings, and i typed in the password wrong and now i cant get back to being able to re type in the password and now it keeps asking me for "pre shared key for wlan" 
    how do i fix this, because the phone is pretty much useless unless i can use my wifi connection

    problem is it dosnt actually ask for a password it asked for pre shared key for wlan
    i was at a friends house last night who only had WEP basic protection and when i tried to connect it asked for the password not a pre shared key.
    if i take away my wifi password and only give it low WEP protection should that fix it?

  • My E71 uses WAP even when a WLAN connection is ava...

    I'd like to set it so my phone ALWAYS uses WLAN if available and only ever uses WAP when there is no WLAN connection.
    It's a new phone (to me, anyway) and I'm still getting use to the settings.
    It's an Eseries E71.
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Go to Web > Options > Settings > General > Access point - does it currently say "User defined" or "Ask on connection"? If says the former change to "Ask on connection" and then back to "User defined" to give you opportunity to choose WLAN access point.
    Another way is to install SmartConnect by Birdstep form Nokia Store: http://store.ovi.com/content/10328

    hello everybody
    Please id like to know if i can download wireless sofware to my nokia e71 that doesn't have the WLAN wizard feature???
    Thanks
    Hi okridwan,
    Nokia E71 supports WLAN connection. You can verify that by visiting this link: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/E71/
    If you are referring to the software update, you may check the available update by using the Nokia Suite.
    Before updating, use the Nokia Suite as well to back up your phone. You can be sure that your contacts, messages, calendar entries, tasks, web feeds, and other important stuff are backed up safely. The contents of your phone memory and memory card, such as photos and videos, are safe and won’t be affected during the update.
    You can use the link to download the Nokia Suite: www.nokia.com/nokiasuite
    Connect the phone you want to back up to your computer with a USB cable. On your phone, select Nokia Suite (or PC Suite) and then select OK.
    In Nokia Suite, click Tools then Backup. Nokia Suite shows you a list of the content types that you can back up and prepares a list of information that can be backed up.
    Select the information that you want to back up. If you want to change where the backup file is saved, click Browse and choose another location. If you have a lot of music, photos or videos on your phone, including them in the backup will cause the backup process to be slower.
    Click Start to begin backing up. Do not disconnect or switch off your phone during the backup. If you need to stop the backup, click Stop. Nokia Suite will reach a safe stop point and will then stop the backup.
    Click Finish to close the window after the backup is complete.
    To update your phone software, you can follow the steps below:
    In Nokia Suite, select Tools then Software updates. If an update is available for your phone, you can see it here along with any other updates that are available.
    Click Install to start the installation. During the installation, Nokia Suite takes you through the following steps:
    Get started
    Back up (recommended)
    Install
    Restore (optional)
    Finish
    Please do not disconnect your phone until the installation is completely finished. Doing so might cause damage to your phone or result in its contents being lost.
    Hope this helps.

  • Connecting laptop to nokia E71

    Hi i just got a Nokia E71 from straight talk i was wandering if i could use it to connect my laptop to the internet if so how can i do that. I have downloaded  pc suite on my computer but its having trouble connecting to the internet. Thanks in advance for the help

    Hi, check out this tutorial first to make sure you do it the correct way: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/pc-suites/how-to/connect-to-the-web
    If your device is brand new, I would check that you have the right internet acces point settings installed in your device. If you are missing internett and mms settings, you should usually be able to get them from your service providers internet site. If you cannot find it there, give them a call.
    You will have to connect using your service providers net on your phone, beware of that if you don't have a surf plan, I would check out the costs.

  • E71 web browser will search for WLAN connection in...

    The E71 web browser will search for and present a list of WLANs whilst the phone is in offline mode without asking first. When you then select a WLAN from the list, it does ask if you wish to create a WLAN connection in offline mode. Surely it should ask before searching?

    With new FW i can't set, that browser ask me.
    Before new SW , browser alwasy give me an option to choose wlan connection..
    I this a bug in new FW ?

    i'm kinda tired of my nokia e71
    I believe the only solution would be to downgrade to the previous firmware and wait till new one will come.
    Strange, no replies from Nokia people at all. Looks like they don't care about this forum...
    Can anybody comment is that confirmed problem and does Nokia work on it or not?

  • Nokia C3 WLAN Connection Failed..

    I recently bought a Nokia C3.I have a Wifi at home..(WEP)450TC1-ADSL Router .I use a Vodafone connection.Whenever i try to use WLAN on my cell it detects this Wifi and asks for password.On entering this password it tries to Connect but soon shows WLAN Connection Failed.My WiFi is functional and has no problems.Please help me sort this problem.Thank You.

    Hi,
    You are right, its working with additional changes.
    In Menu - Settings - Configuration - Default config. settings.
    You can try this, it may work.
    If you go to Menu - Settings - Configuration - Personal Settings - My Web
    And follow the steps, you do not need to fill in any details, just activate it.
    Then go to Menu - Internet - Web Settings - Configuration Settings, then select configuration and change to Personal configuaration. Then the 'account' should say my web.
    So for good, then check the
    Menu - Settings - Configuration - Default config. settings. "Default config. settings", if that still in operator's config settings you have to change this in to "Personal Config."
    then it will work properly
