Guest jimbouk Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 Yes... as long as you know the key for any secured wifi access point.

Guest SSR Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Wifi reception isn't dependent on phone reception, as it is a totally separate aerial/connection etc. As long as you're reasonably close to the wifi point you're going to pick it up, with the usual caveats about number of obstacles between you and the aerial e.g. walls.
Guest smcqis Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 jus what i wanted 2 hear so do i jus go into searc wi fi connections an it will pick up wireless
Guest SSR Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 When you enable it you will get a popup with nearby wireless access points. You select to connect to them, and then it will prompt for the key if required.
Guest smcqis Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 trid it with our home wireless, inserted the code an al, but how do i know when im connected via wi fi and not my phone because it doesnt open an net page for me, if i go to home after this and to launch internet how do i know im on the wi fi an not my phone network internet??
Guest SSR Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 When you enable wireless you'll see a symbol akin to a chess pawn appear on the status bar. Typicall you'll see this animating with arrows and dots to show it's negotiating a connection. When connected the animations stop, and you should see a pawn with static arrows to the right of it. If you don't see any arrows it has failed to connect. From this point on all data traffic should go over wireless.
Guest smcqis Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 thats great cheers mate, i never got a manual wit this info, does one supposed to come n box?
Guest SSR Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 I can't remember offhand if they come on CD, but if you Google HTC's site you can find the manuals there in the support section I think.
