I recently purchased 8520 and got struck with wifi issue!
I have added home wifi profile and I can even see it displayed on the top of my homescree whenever I toggle wifi on. But the problem is that 'when I switch off the data services, browser does not work with the connected wifi profile'. It displays "Connection failed. Please try again later. If this problem persists, contact your service provider."
I have tried changing the browser option to hotspot browser but I can never get internet using wifi. I get a clean internet whenever I use if with DATA SERVICES ON!
Please help me if anyone had the same problem and found a solution or if anyone have any idea how to solve it!
Glad to hear a reply. But once I switch the data services on, mobile uses the network provided by the network provider and not by means of wifi and so I get charged for amount of internet used.
So is it essential to have a data plan by the service provider to access internet? What is the use of having wifi then?! :O
Once connected to WiFi, then device will use that by default.
And yes, you need to have a data plan access the internet even over WiFi. The point of having WiFi is not to circumvent having a data plan but rather to give you access where you might not get a good carrier signal and also to allow you to use data features without using your data allowance.
