Nokia Lumia 520

KwackerJack

So I got a new Lumia 520 and I'm liking it so far.

2 issue's I have are the annoying beeps on the dial pad to which I can't seem to mute and...........WiFi connection is telling me my password is wrong when I know 100% its write and I have other devices on the network!!

Any help?

Keypress sounds -> Settings->Ringtones+Sounds -> Play a sound for "Key Press"

Wifi issue - type your password correctly :-)

Not yet......wifi works perfect everywhere else but my house. Changed wpa and done a full reset so it looks like the modem os the issue!

Im trying to find my old modem and see if that allows me to connect!

Seems to be a big issue on the Nokia discussion forum. I don't think I'm a total idiot when it comes to technology, but they seem to be talking double dutch.
I've contacted Nokia and am awaiting them to get back, if they come back with anything I'll post it.

Try to change the wlan channel from your router if that helps.
I had a similar problem once with Magnet router and that fixed the issue.

Worth to try anyway

I contacted Nokia care shop in local town, they tell me the older eirocm router is not compatible with the windows phone 8. Something to do with the security certificates.
I spoke to eircom the say it's probably the kids PS3 that's knocking it out, tried that didn't work. Their sending me a new router.
There are no bottons on the router I have apart from the reset, I assume there is therefore no way to change.

The wlan channels is changed within the router, so you need to login to do it. I dont know what the model l of your router is if its possible at all to do.

Hopefully the new router will solve the problem.

I have to old silver twin aerial router as I found the black on with the single aerial had bad output!

Definitely the router, got a new black one from eircom.
Everything is running faster now. Some of the old eircom ones are incompatible with window phone 8.

Hi kracker jack did you ever get the new modem from eircom
and did it solve your wifi conection problem .
I`m in the same boat as yourself with a nokia lumia 520 and
eircom just told me the eircom network was not compatable
with any windows 8 phones period, end of discussion.

any help much appreciated

Old eircom routers aren't that Good. My mate had one set up on his house and it kept throwing my S4 off it every couple of mins.

Hi kwacker jack. Appreciate the info.Delighted you got sorted.
I`ll be ringing them tomorrow and giving them a piece of my mind.
thanks again.

chrispin

Eircom are sending me out a new router
so i`ll let you know how i get on with it.

chrispin

Well guys I received the d1000 router from eircom today and hooked it up.
The nokia lumia 520 connected easily BUT the phone will not display any
internet pages.It shows up "We`re having trouble displaying this page"
I`ve checked that flight mode is disengaged. I`ve tried several web sites
and i just get the same message.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Can anything else on WiFi see the web?

chrispin

Hi beauf. thank you for the quick responce.
Yes i have two laptops connected to the router and there working fine.

Seems you're not alone

I'd turn off security, get that working then try the different security protocols to see what works. Maybe it a bug though. I've had issues with some machine not being able to use certain security protocols and certain wild cards in password. Only by trial and error did I find the lowest common denominator.

I would have expected a W8 phone to support all mainstream stuff though.

chrispin

Thank you for your reply Beauf...I tried the internet on the phone again late
last night and it worked.I can`t explain why because i didn`t do anything differently. I just hope it continues to work.Happy Days.
Thanks again for your input.
