- I too turned off my Verizon Radio and only used WiFi. I waited until my Radio was turned off.
It works just fine.
I will have to enter my code when I get home.
My work is an unsecure network.
Works just fine.

EDIT: uploading to youtube right now. Storm 2 does not focus well on vids. Crappy quality, but you should be able to see the mobile network being turned off, me typing an email into outlook 2007, and the bold receiving it over wifi. Video's still being processed, but it'll be up shortly.
10-28-09 02:45 PMLike 0 - This is completely not true. I just did this 10 minutes ago and it worked perfect. I am able to recieve email, (my BIS Gmail), and BBM without issue.
I did not connect to the WIFI till after being disconnected. Not sure if that amde a difference, may be something worth trying though.10-28-09 02:48 PMLike 0 - Seems to be working well still. BBM, e-mail over BES (yes, I'm sure it's BES), browser... Seems like all normal data services work over a wifi connection. Intererestingly though, connection speed is not what "it should be" over a wifi connection.
edit: I did tests with the mobile network disabled.Last edited by pi_admin; 10-28-09 at 02:52 PM.

- Oh My. I must be in Oz. No, its a Storm Forum...There is a box of clues I imagine must be empty because some have none.10-28-09 02:53 PMLike 0

- I'm just trying to figure out whether or not to take it back. The problem is that I can't see a clear problem from everyone else. This seems to be a very small issue, but I almost wish more people had the issue so that I knew i wasn't alone.10-28-09 03:12 PMLike 0

For BES, they keep data communication out of public network (or over VPN tunnel on public network).

I also spoke to a Verizon rep, and this person just read everything from the emulator, and that was about it. So, not helpful at all.10-28-09 03:17 PMLike 0
- The green check mark takes some time - 10 - 15 seconds. If you keep touching it during that time, you toggle the switch back and forth, starting the timer again.
I was able to receive push email, phone alerts and all from three accounts while on Wifi. No SMS or phone calls though, also no YouTube???
I do not use the BB Enterprise server, not sure if that matters - my three accounts are all POP.
The WiFi logo stays lit (white outline) while connected. Internet browsing has been defaulting to WiFi even when EVDO network is on.10-28-09 03:19 PMLike 0 - i have the same issue and i dont know what to do either, if i shut off connections like everyone else is doing, it doesnt work. so i am assuming that it doesnt work and there is a problem with it10-28-09 03:20 PMLike 0
- Got to Options, Wi-Fi :
I see under the Saved Wi-Fi Profiles my WiFi name, then a green check mark, and a green signal indicator.
I have both boxes checked above this (Enable single... and Promt me for ....)10-28-09 03:35 PMLike 0 - i just checked the enable single box.... however i dont have the green signal indicator just a dash. but i do have the green check mark.10-28-09 03:57 PMLike 0

**The problem i'm having is I work on base and It seems like I can't connect to the wifi networks here. It must be blocked here on base.10-28-09 04:07 PMLike 0 - Ok let me get this strait. So I had the Tour and I would automatically get my emails to show up and I could just click on my message folder and read my email. You're saying I can't do that with my Storm 2? I actually have to login to my email through my browser to see my email?

I never get the green check mark and the wifi symbol is grey. I can browse but thats it. Anyone been able to fix this?10-28-09 04:17 PMLike 0
- Don't mind that post - it was incorrect. You are able, IN FACT, to access your BIS/BES e-mail, BBM, and other data services over WiFi. My Storm2 had some issues connecting to WiFi, and pulling the battery helped the issue (no networks would show up when scanning). There is, however, talk of a WiFi bug out there ... if that is the case, then it could be a reason why you can't connect as well.10-28-09 04:17 PMLike 0
- I'm wondering if I can't use wi-fi here on base cause I see 3 different networks but I can't connect to any of them.10-28-09 04:22 PMLike 0
