Re: Can't get WIFI to work on 6800....

Can't get mine to work either. My wife has one that she got one week before me, and her's, you just flip the switch and it connects automatically at home, so I know my router, or any settings are not the problem. On mine. I flip the switch, and it detects nothing at all. I took off the back cover, battery, and the trim and seen the antenna and I bent this little prong out to make sure it was making good contact and then put it back together and it detected for a sec but it didn't stay connected for more than like 10 seconds. Then the connection became unavailable. I seen on another post that someone had the same problem and they took it apart and found some kind of "air bubble" on the wi-fi chip or the wires or something and they thought that it could be the problem. Maybe some of these phones have some kind of defect, it's like a hit or miss if your wi-fi works, mostly hit I assume since there are only few that have this problem. I sure like this phone but the no wi-fi thing really gets to me since I have wi-fi at work and at home that I could use and metropcs internet is really slow at times! Maybe you could take yours apart and check you antenna to make sure it has good contact and then see what happens and report back if you have any luck.
