yesterday i tested out my wifi on my bold and it worked perfectly, today i scanned for networks and connected but the wifi was not ticked off, the wifi network just shows up beside my carrier but wont connect to the internet, whats the problem?:eusa_wallOk thats a problem that I have been seeing popping up all over. It happens to me intermittently as well. Once you are sure that you have connected to a particular wifi network already and you have saved the profile in your Berry. Simply Power Down your Berry. Take out the Battery. Put it back in, Power up and try again.
I had to do that and so did one of our Club Leaders as well Wolfman. Everything worked perfectly after that.

Whenever your Berry starts acting weird, just do a Battery Pull. Remember to power down first.

Please Note: Just In Case -

There is a known Java bug on the Bold. If you get a message like this
"uncaught exception: java.lang.error"
"Uncaught: Java exception error"
after booting up or during the boot up process just click ok till all the errors clear and do another Battery pull. I think this bug is related to the particular version of the OS thats on your device. It's nothing to worry about. I have that issue sometimes too. But it always clears up on the second Battery Pull.

Hope this info helps

I just wanted to ask this question in advance, i just wanted to know if the BB OS 247 fixes wifi problems on the bold i haven't had the chance to test it :eusa_pray

[Cultus]

Talk about that I am going to make an appointment with you HV to upgrade my Bold to what would be considered the most Stable Solid OS out now... I am having some WiFi issues too. The connection will drop intermittently and its so annoying at times. Maybe what we should do is plan a Lil Berry Linkup Day in the near future, so we all could just chill and have all our Berries sorted out properly...

[wolfman]

Fully endorsed Cultus even tho I have no issue so far would love to I am still scared from when I did my curve and nothing came up

[hv_thugg]

That berry day will come shortly.

[crysis]

you guys forgot to answer my question

does the wifi give any problems with the new OS.

[Cultus]

you guys forgot to answer my question

does the wifi give any problems with the new OS.I can't answer that question because I have not upgraded my OS as yet. But from what I have seen on the crackberry forums, its a very stable OS. So I am assuming that the wifi issues would have been sorted out.

Well someone should test it and let us know.

Won't a flash sort out that problem?

[hv_thugg]

Won't a flash sort out that problem?

Not necessarily, Depending on what the developers trying to correct at that particular time. Please remember you have diffrent types of flash you have orginal and generic, Generic is what is not put out by the company while the orginal is whats the company put out. Now we get that clear the flash that RIM has out now only correct a few of the problems that the Bold has and yes wifi is one.

I am planning to get a bold or javelin soon. Currently i have 8320. The wifi works but i fave to be extreamly close to my router for it to do so. Is there a way to bost wifi strength on the berry?

Upgrade to version 247 on the BOLD last week and so for no problem. Did not need to reinstall my backups. Just remember to keep your activation codes for your third party apps were you can easily locate them as a number of them had to be reactivated.

today i tried the wifi and it picked up 2 routers but they had no signal so why did the phone pick them up:eusa_wall

Pick it up showing you that the wifi is their but weak.

[dwightmckie]

How can d wifi signal in the phone be increased?

[crysis]

it also failed to connect, is this because the signal is weak.

It can also be a situation where MAC FILTERING is enabled so the routers can be seen but can't be accessed or simply a weak signal situation.

[Cultus]

Well someone should test it and let us know.I did the upgrade today. I will be testing the new upgrade this week. I'll keep you posted during the week in my Official Upgrade OS Thread. So go there to keep informed.

[crysis]

I managed to get the wifi to finally work, so I tried to install opera mini and it worked flawlessly but the google maps app still has problems installing,right now I am using the bold to do this. :eusa_danc

[Cultus]

Well... it would be helpful to others if you could post a detailed approach as to how you managed to solved your WiFi issues. We might encounter the same problem too you know.. don't be selfish... wow your threads sure do look alot neater now :eusa_whis

Today i connected to a wireless network and it connected , but what was funny was that there was a white dash instead of a green tick, i have the latest os and i also rebooted the phone, the wifi works but there is no green tick what the **** is up with my beautiful bold?
