- This is my first blackberry, so I have a couple questions. My phone doesn't ever seem to use my wifi connection. It displays the network name, but when I go to the browser, it's constantly showing 1xev.05-23-10 08:08 AMLike 0

PS - I'm going over to the Tips/How-To section on CB to read the Wi-Fi 101 again.

- jason I have wifi in my home and have to manually turn it on to pick it up. however, in all fairness since the bold is my first bb with wifi i have not fully experimented with it yet. What i have discovered so far is that you have to turn it on (which you have done) and through managed connections icon hit scan for networks click on this which then connects you to that wifi site then hit your browser. Turn off when you are done with wifi to minimize battery drain.05-23-10 08:53 AMLike 0

- try experimenting. when in a wifi zone and wifi turned on wifi icon in top right of your main screen will show and arrow blinking from the wifi connection indicating you are in fact connected to that wifi. Best i can suggest until you receive other input here. good luck!05-23-10 09:01 AMLike 0

I was opening the Browser > Menu > Options > Browser Config. selecting the connection and using the back button where I was prompted to Save changes which I would confirm. The connection wouldn't stay with the change. I just now chose the Connection and hit the Menu key and chose Save and it works! I can now toggle between the Internet & HotSpot Browser with success.

2: Is it normal to freeze every couple minutes for a few seconds and have the little timeout clock come on?
