Using wireless on my phone

I have scanned for wireless and found network but phone can't use it to browse.
Are there any configurations needed?

Is it your wireless network? In fact if it's just some random wireless network it could be a router which is on but not connected to internet. Do you get any error like messages?
Check within your connectivity settings and destinations to see where the accesspoint has been stored. Make sure its saved under internet. Now go to browser and check where the browser is looking for accesspoints. Set it on internet.

    Sorry, but I have a wireless D-link machine at home.I actually want to know how to use internet on my phone .
    Thank you

    Hi aladdin22
    Have a look at this post:/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=83014#M83014
    Don't use CD version of PC Suite but latest from here:http://europe.nokia.com/pcsuite
    Lastly make sure that your E71 is in "PC Suite" mode NOT "Data Transfer" mode, go to Menu > Connectivity > USB > USB connection mode.

  • Can i use facetime via wireless vs my phone carrier?

    when traveling abroad can I initiate facetime using wireless vs. my wireless carrier?

    Yes, unless the public wi-fi hotspot your iPhone is connected to restricts/prevents doing so.
    FaceTime was available via wi-fi only for a while.

  • How to use your Global ready phone in Mexico.

    PREVIEW
    Traveling Abroad in Mexico with a Verizon Phone
    How to Use a Verizon Global Ready Phone Abroad
     So your planning a trip to Cancun Mexico and want internet/cell service with out paying Roaming fees to your U.S service provider here is what you need to know to have access to Facebook, Vonage, Google maps, email and other apps while abroad.
    I will cover two bases one for your Global ready/Unlocked phone and the other for a personal Hotspot in your room or wherever your laptop will be this is only If you plain to purchase or have semi-free WiFi service from the Hotel.First I will cover your smartphone:
    The phone I used and test this with was mostly on my Razr Maxx from Motorola from the Verizon network. This can also worked with a Iphone 4S (You need to call Verizon First before traveling) please check out this thread to use your iPhone Unlocking Iphone for International Travel
    Note: you only have to do this once per-iPhone after that it is global ready as long as you own it.
    For a Android phone they are Global ready phones no need to call Verizon it is already ready. Popular Android phones that are Global ready ie. Razr, Razr Maxx,plus both HD versions also, The Samsung GS3 and GS4 are Global ready.
    For those who don't know, All Verizon 4G phones carry a sim card inside. They can be replace with a non-U.S carrier sim.(Make sure you insert the sim in the right way or it will not work.) If you try to use a none Verizon sim in the U.S it will be blocked by The Verizon network.
    Verizon runs off of both GSM and Cdma networks but while aboard you have a option to change these features.
    By pressing the menu button click System Setting> More / Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Network Mode.
    Step 1.
    Most important leave your phone in airplane mode once you reach your destination you can still use WiFi while your phone is in this mode. While in Mexico or any country aboard you will need a local sim from any carrier that is GSM. A prepaid sim works great, some/most company's will make you pay a fee for the sim and they will not provide any help with setting your phone up to there services.
    Here are a two reasons why. #1 You did not buy it from them. #2 They really don't know your Verizon, AT&T and T-mobile phone setup, Yes it is different then the same phones they sell on their own network. So buying a prepaid sim card is your best option then paying roaming fees to your U.S carrier.
    After you have you sim you purchase the Data amount you think you will need you I got 1GB which was way more then enough for 5 days. I was consistently using my phone checking in on Foursquare etc.. you will also receive a local phone number too. I used a telcel sim card In Cancun The Telcel company is located in the Hotel Zone # 2 Blvd Kukulcan Km 12.5 77500 Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
    Telcel is the best for 4g and internet service.
    Mexico cellphone company's
    http://www.telcel.com/portal/home.doTelcel: Excellent coverage, You'll have to present your passport. It took no time set up the data service. (You need to know their APN settings for data service I will cover this below. I used The Vonage app to Talk to friends and family in the U.S for free they were able to call and text me while using the Vonage app on their smart phone and toll free numbers work with Vonage but not with the Mexico number.(I will cover how to set up Vonage before your travel below). There are other cheaper company's but none with the same coverage as Telcel. It worked everywhere compared to the company below.
    http://www.movistar.com.mx/Movistar: The underdog. Cheaper per-month. It is what The other phone used.I wanted to test both networks. The rate to call the USA from Mexico was only 2 pesos per minute (15 cents) but there are other options to call the U.S for free as stated above. Coverage is not great at all, but it wasn't to terrible either. It was really spotty while on the beach unlike Telcel. Traveling out of Cancun on a excursions there was next to none cellular service at all. A lot of the small towns didn't have Movistar coverage. You will end up roaming on a different network it will roam on the Telcel network instead yeah that's right I said Telcel.
    Prices
    Everyone wants to use their Android phone or iPhone for checking emails, translating Spanish and occasionally consulting Google Maps while lost. It is easy to setup data on your phone once you have a SIM card and money on the account. If you don't explicitly buy data you can still use data on your device, but it will be taken out of your account balance at a very expensive rate. The best thing to do is to sign up for a package deal. Movistar is $200 pesos ($15) for 1GB which expires in 1 month. If your stay is not long Telcel offers the same 1GB data service for 10 days.
    To sign up for one of these packages after you have added money to your Movistar account you send a text message to a special number and money is automatically taken from your account balance to pay for your data package. For example, to sign up for 1GB over 30 days, a $200 peso plan, you send a text message to 100 that says "30 dias". $200 pesos will be removed from your Movistar account and you'll have a gig of data to use.
    Telcel works in a different way but you don't not need to text any special number( if your purchase from their main Store) after you add money to your account. it is automatically applied only when you use any OXXO convenience store to refill your mobile service then you will need to text a special number which will be provided . I prefer going to Telcel company just in case of a language barrier.
    Note: That all Telcel prepaid plans are currently referred to as "Amigo". Click Here for Telcel Rate Rates are in pesos not dollars
    Your sim card good and can be reused up too 1 year after money runs out or time expires.
    Current Exchange rate $1 USD = 13.2408 pesos.
    Step 2
    Lets get your internet service running :
    After you have your sim and paid for data you need add the APN setting to your phone. I did have to add the APN to my Razr Maxx for 4G/3G coverage, As Same for the iPhone 4S to acquire the 3G data service. Insert your Telcel sim go to the one of the link below, click your phone software link. its free no need to pay a company which will take you minutes to do. If your phone is running any Android you click the android manual setup for Iphone the Iphone manual setup. Here is Telcel APN setting for Cancun, Mexico . Here is Movistar APN settings
    Note: If you have a fully unlocked smartphone that is not locked to any specific carrier in the United States, Canada or any other country you may not have to enter the APN setting manually.
    How to Call and Text to the U.S and Receive Calls and Text from the U.S while abroad at no Charge.
    I have used Vonage for a while to me its the best. I have used on trips to Europe and it has always work without any problems.
    When setting up Vonage you must do it before your trip abroad because it will asked for your current U.S number for authorization and activation this number will not change once you use a foreign sim since your account is linked to your U.S number not your carrier.
    You can add money to your Vonage account if you are planing on calling land lines or a smartphone with out the Vonage app attached to that smartphone number. (I notice a few times I used Vonage from Mexico to call a mobile phone that did not have Vonage, I was able to call them for free, which was a bonus). You can Call, send SMS and MMS threw Vonage at no additional charge to any smartphone with the Vonage app.
    There are other apps out there that do work the same way as Vonage. Viber, Call and Text any Viber user for free. Whatsapp a texting app only no calling is available (yet).
    These apps will use the data service you have purchase while abroad or if you have WiFi enable on your phone if WiFi is available they will use the WiFi Data instead of Cellular Data. Almost every Hotel in Cancun makes you pay for WiFi. If you are at a hotel that offers free WiFi you are in luck but the service may be spotty in some areas in your hotel.
    Note to reader: The Hotspot for Verizon Wireless did not work it will look for Verizon servers. I will update this article when I find a Hotspot for Telcel. I also know The Foxfi app did not work either even the paid version.
    Thanks for reading !!
    Enjoy your trip.

    How to turn your computer into a Virtual (Personal)Router.
    Our hotel the Grand Oasis Cancun provided internet for only 36 hours and you could only use it on one device which comes to my next option as using your Laptop as a Personal Router to broadcast WiFi to any devices near your computer. Our room was on the Second level of the Pyramid at Grand Oasis and I was able to access it while at the VIP lounge below our room. Before our supposedly free internet service ended.
    I attempted using the hotel next door since I was getting a good signal from the Omni Hotel. They offered complimentary 24hr internet access using your browser as a way to track your use. Once you find the signal of the Omni it will open your browser I used Google Chrome, after it opens you go threw a few simple steps and your ready.
    I learned that after the 24 hours are up all you have to do is disconnect from their network, just run Ccleaner(free program) then find the Signal of the hotel and you will be given another 24 hours. What Ccleaner(<--download there) does is clears anything attached to your browser ie cookies temp files etc. it cleans your browser history giving you a way of not paying for the hotel fee of internet and giving you free WiFi. this is only if you are next to the Omni hotel :).
    What you need to download to turn your computer into a hotspot need to say is this little easy to use program Virtual Router. Once it has download test at your home to make sure it works with you devices. This will work with Tablets, Phones and other computers that cant find the Omni WiFi signal. Your welcome. To use it, is simple. Open program>make a password>select WiFi and start VR.

  • I'm trying to use my iphone 3g as an ipod now that I've upgraded to an iphone 4.  But it is telling me that I need to have a sim card in my iphone 3g to use it.  I don't want to use it as a phone at all so I wouldn't think that I need a sim card.

    Actually, I wanted to let my son use my old iphone 3g as an ipod now that I upgraded to the iphone 4.
    But it has continued to shut down and say that needed to restore it. 
    The last time I did it, it's now saying that I need to have a SIM card in order for it to work. 
    Now, I'm not wanting him to use it as a phone or for texting, so I just assumed this would work.  But it's been very challenging.
    Any thoughts on what I need to do so he can use it as an ipod?
    Thanks!

    Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan

  • Does the Ipod nano 6th gen capable of sending signal to headphones. Us older folks would like to use wireless headphones versus earphones with a wire.

    Is the  ipod nano 6th gen capable of sending signal to wireless headphones. I am 57 and do not like earphones and wire. Would like to get the nano. I understand the iphone 4 can use wireless headphones, but i can not wear it on my wrist like a watch. Thank you. techie mawmaw.

    What is your price range. I know exactly what you are talking about. I always used headphones while mowing and I used to runt he cord through my shirt to prevent it from getting caught on the steering controls of the mower but one day the cord came untucked form my pants pocket ripping the cord straight out of the headphone itself. They were nice Sennheisers to!
    I ended up replacing them with these http://en-us.sennheiser.com/wireless-bluetooth-hea​dset-headphone-smart-mobile-phone-stereo-mm-500-x they are pricey at 330 but will last you many years if they are taken care of. Sennheisers are excellent quality. Best Buy oddly doesnt carry the 500 series they have the 450 and 550 but not the 500. Completely ignore the Beats by Dr. Dre they are horrible for the price point they are!
    The noise cancellation is great and they are very comfortable. Like you I dont care for earbuds as I have tried many and they all hurt my ears and on-ear style would eventually start hurting my outer ear but these are very comfy!

  • Using unlocked Iphone 2G phone with t-mobile - non emergency calls

    Hello - I have gotten a used Iphone 2G phone. There is firmware installed into it and I am currently on t-mobile. The phone is unlocked. I have my t-mobile sim card in the phone....and I can dial out, and receive calls and (text messages) and that is about it. When I make a call it says 'non emergency calls only" but I can still dial out. from what I was told (from a local wireless company) the phone just can't get past the activation so if I can get past that it will work...please help me if at all possible. and will be more then happy to provide additional details with the issue....thank you in advance!

    The phone was purchased unlocked (paid high price).  But I guess there is a chance I got ripped off... If so, why does it work with different carriers in Sweden with different SIM cards?

  • Wireless update freezes phone now stuck please help

    my torch has started a wirless update but when getting through back up freezes between 8 an 20 % . Have noticed in forum that this is known but for a computer update you just take out this as a back up option but on a wireless update the phone is stuck if I do a battery pull and put itback after few mins it starts again and tries to update is there anyway to cancel update or solve this. tried pluggin into pc but doesnt do anything different. please help

    Hello,
    A forced wireless update? I've honestly never seen that...quite unusual...normally, you must initiate the process. Nevertheless, as I'm sure you've seen, OTA updates are NEVER recommended for exactly the situation you are experiencing. The OTA update conducts an on-device backup, which is used to restore after a successful OS update. But, if anything should go wrong, that backup file is lost forever. Hence, updating via PC is recommended since you then have the opportunity to take a manual backup and store that resulting IPD file on your PC.
    But, back to your issue...the update being forced is rather strange. If there's no way to prevent it, then perhaps you could try the following:
    Turn off all network connections (both mobile carrier data network as well as WiFi) and then do a batt-pull reboot. See if the update continues to be forced...if not, then proceed with a PC/USB based update.
    Failing that, try booting into Safe Mode and see if you can then keep the forced update from running:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    I've honestly never tried to update the BB OS (from a PC) when the BB is in Safe Mode, but you could give that a try and see if it helps.
    Let us know how those attempts work out for you.
    Cheers!

  • Nokia N81 reboots when using wireless LAN

    HAs anybody else come across this problem, I have a N81-3 with 8Gb sim card, basically when using wireless lan it reboots, I see there is a firmware upgrade that improves wifi stability but when using the software upgrader it says there are no updates available for my phone, any ideas.??

    The CR-200 only charges at 750mA and I am not even sure that is 100% transferred through the Qi charging. Charging at less than 1A will likely not be enough to keep up with the drain from using the phone while navigating. I think it will use much more than that.
    I use a Anker 13.000 mA battery with my phone while rinding my bike and have had several instances where I accidentally used the 1A output (it has both a 1 and 2 A output) to find that would actually not keep up with the phone running navigation and cycle tracking apps running (in addition to cellular and some other tasks).
    Navigation _will_ require some serious amount sof power and _will_ in general make the phone feel warm to the touch. I very much doubt a wireless charger will be able to provide the juice needed to keep up the charge.

  • IPad Setting to use wi-fi access before using using wireless access?

    Greetings,
    I was wondering if there is a app or setting for the iPad that allows (forces) the iPad to look for and use wi-fi networks before it uses wireless access. I’d like to set up my daughter’s iPad so that she is less likely to use up our data quota for our wireless plan.
    Any ideas as to how I might limit her data usage?
    Thank you,
    Tim

    Thank you Ralph.
    I think "education" (for my daughter) will certainly help. I just don't want her to go craze when she receives the phone..
    Your reply was very helpful.

    I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine.
    When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect.
    I see that the Mac Book Pro is picking up the internet when I check the internet preference section but it will not open Safari.
    What do I need to do connect via a cable modem?

    You need to power off the modem for 15-30 seconds, then power back up and then connect. The modem is remembering the last connection (your friend).

  • My iphone 4s with the ISO 7.0.2 keeps crashing, i can barely use it as a phone. Going to switch to samsung tomorrow!!!!

    Ever since i upgraded to the newer ISO 6 and above my iphone 4s keeps crashing!
    I can barely use it as a phone, emails keeps crashing, crashing halfway during calls and even candy crush wont open!
    I was so upset to hear that the only solution was to 'purchase the newer iphone 5c or 5s to fix this problem' as you cannot go backwards with the ISO.
    I have always been loyal to Apple, but it seems such a shame that a piece of perfectly good hardware is now made obselete due to its software and the inflexibility of the company.
    This is environmentally unfriendly and just a big corporates money hungry way of hitting targets and satisfying its stakeholders!
    Apple if you want anymore of my money in the future, you better fix this problem.
    Maybe Samsung has a better solution to my phone issues.....

    Okay, switch.
    Why exactly do you believe that anyone in these user to user support forums cares?

    Maybe if basic troubleshooting was tried, instead of whining, a resolution could be found.
    There is no need to purchase a newer iPhone.  The 4S runs iOS6 and 7 perfectly fine.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Why do i keep getting 'to use data on your phone,you'l need add on pack' texts?

    I ordered a pay as you go sim card from EE a few weeks ago to use in my iphone 5 as a second/work phone. The package on the sim is a 'top up £1 and get some free mins and texts (no data allowance)' plan. I put the sim card in my phone and have left the phone at home and not put any credit on it yet or used it at all, ( not even any apps/calls etc ). Every day when i come to look at the phone there are atleast 4 text messages a day from EE saying 'To use data on your phone, you'll need an add-on pack Click here to buy'. I am getting sick of this as i have turned mobile data off in the settings and my phone is constantly connected to my home wi-fi so cannot see how it would even by using any data. Today i have come home to 8 of these messages! I refuse to top my phone up with credit and start using it until this is sorted as im not paying for any data usage i wont use! There are no apps running in the background, and nothing has been set up on the phone that would require internet usage i.e. emails / weather etc. Please can someone help me...  Thanks

    Hi,  I also recieved thousands of messages saying that I need to buy add-on, that's anoying.  I called EE for 3 hours and they are not able to deal with that. They just try to make my mobile phone responsible. What can I do?  Thank you.

  • Using iMessage on separate phones on one iTunes account

    I have 3 x iPhone 4 on one iTunes account - each being used by a different person.  Is it possible to use iMessage on these phones without them receiving each other's texts?

    Yes, use separate iCloud accounts. You can still share the same ID for purchases though, or use Family Share for purchases.
