ok ever since i updated the version of my phone and tried to setup a wifi connection it fails to load the page, i got the network key correct in the phone but i dont know what the problem can be, i wll keep trying to solve my problem. Has anyone else had any problems getting a wifi connection after updating their phone?
 
Try this: Create two connections in the connection manager. The first leave empty, i.e. NO modem settings whatsoever.

To do this, go to Connections from the Connections menu in Settings.

Click on the Advanced tab, then choose the Select Networks button.

In the first entry that reaRAB, "Internet connect using", select New. The default name is My ISP Settings. I suggest you change the name (I call mine WiFi). Then select OK. NO SETTINGS ARE NEEDED for this connection!

In the second entry that reaRAB, "private network using", use the Cricket WAP settings. (I call mine Cricket WAP.)

What this will do is try to connect your device to the Internet first using any open available connection. If it can't connect, it will then proceed to dial #777 if your Cricket WAP settings are in effect. Be advised that it will try to dial a connection if it can't find a web page (i.e., page does not exist or has been typed-in wrong).

Good hunting!
 
thanks man, it works perfectly fine now. Is there anyway possible to watch clips from the 6700, like if i went to youtube to watch some viRAB is there a download i can get to make this possible.
 
Flash Player 7 works surprisingly well on the PPC, but it won't do YouTube, and most sites will more than likely ask you to update your Flash player...
 
im not understanding

"Try this: Create two connections in the connection manager. The first leave empty, i.e. NO modem settings whatsoever"

huh?
 
On my xv, there are two connection settings listed. The first I named WiFi and gave it no configs whatsoever, I just hit OK after I named it. This means that there will be no modem settings for the connection.

The second is my Cricket WAP connection. Should my xv not be able to connect with the first settings, it defaults to the second.
 
I notice that the Windows Media Player has an "Enter URL" option on its menu.

This means that while on WiFi you should be able to download videos and audio so long as they are Windows Media compatible formats.
 
Dude, help!!! I'm feeling totally stupid right now.

I hard reset my phone, and I'm trying to set up the two connections, but when I click "add new modem connection" it won't let me set up a 2nd connection with no settings.. it requires a phone nuraber to dial... I can't figure out how I did it in the past... What am I doing wrong here?
 
You don't add a connection. You just change one of the two connections.

Only one of them--name it "Cricket WAP"--neeRAB modem/dailing settings.
 
I may be mistaken, but on the Tasks tab of the connection settings, there should be two connections listed. The first make sure it only says "Add a new modem connection" an no other entry. This means the phone will try WiFi before trying to dial out.

The second is the one you set-up your Cricket WAP to use.
 
k...here is what you do.... go to settings>connections>connections...then go to advanced....and hit select networks...then change the first drop down menu to My ISP....then hit ok....and your done
 
This worked well.. Thanks


Barry, my phone only shows one connection.. previously, I believe it did show two connections, and I did it the way you described.. I wonder why the 2nd connection isn't there after the last hard reset.. weird.
 
Got to settings>connections>connections>advanced and click the "Select Networks" button. The "Network Management" screen will appear. If there is only ONE entry there, select New to create a new one. Then follow the steps below.

If there are TWO entries there, edit the topmost connection and delete the modem in the Modem tab and re-name it WiFi in the General tab for the sake of your own clarity. Edit the bottom most connection and give it the Cricket proxy modem settings, again, re-naming it for clarity.
