Found this free app for syncing Exchange mail and contacts. Works great.

What build is that and does it sync the calendar? This one doesn't and I was about to do some contortions with Google Calendar to get it synced.

Thanks found it but still no calendar sync that I can see.

I synced with Exchange over wifi (using the 2/27 build), but it only took care of contacts and email. My exchange calendar is an option from the calendar, but it is not showing any of my meetings. My personal, google calendars work fine.

Yesterday I posted that I could connect to an open network but not my WPA2 network. Well today it's working just fine. In fact when I booted up Android today it remembered the password from last nights unsuccessful attempt and I was automatically connected via WPA2. I have to attribute this glitch to my wireless router, which has been kind of flaky lately.

I also mentioned that scrolling in the Android browser was choppy, it still is. Though once a site fully loads it is a lot better, still a bit choppy but better.

I know that I saw it mentioned the other day, but I can now confirm that you DO NOT NEED TO PLACE A CALL OR HAVE Wi-Fi RUNNING BEFORE YOU LOAD HARET. I turned my phone to Airplane mode before I loaded Haret and when Android loaded, I had to register on a network like usual, but I was already connected to my Wi-Fi network. I will occasionally have to turn on the Wi-Fi myself but no big deal. I hope this helps some people out so that we don't have to clutter the thread up with more nonsense posts, but I think that we need to get a running thread (maybe separate from this one) with what does/ does not work and how to enable/ disable different things. Just an idea

Thank you for the details and to others who said that they didn't have to change any settings in order for android to scan for networks. Your posts confirmed that I am not getting wifi to work properly. I still have no idea what is wrong. I tried putting on a new custom winmo rom (MightyRom) but that didn't fix anything. I reformatted my SD card and extracted the files fresh. I then tried a second different size SD card. I then tried searching for my campus secured/unsecured network. I have tried with wifi on and off in windows mobile before starting android. Nothing works.

Can someone please help? Is anyone using a custom rom and still have it work or do I need the stock rom? Are there any other files I need besides the 95-civic's zip file on the first post? I saw a post a few pages back that described the same problem. Anyone else experiencing the same issue (android not able to search for wireless networks or connect if manually entering the ssid)?

I am willing to bet that almost everyone is using a custom rom (I run my own custom built rom).

If your wifi is not finding any networks (and you know there are some) I would:
1) re-download the build in post one and test it on a blank sd card
2) try a different rom

I've tried your step 1 six or seven times. I'll try another custom rom though, maybe a stock rom. What rom are you using?

Also, I noticed in the android advanced wifi settings, my MAC address is unavailable. I googled this and found this site http://www.htc-android.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=445 which says that you have to manually edit your mac address in a text file before loading. Does this apply for the TP2 and if so, how can I do this? For people who have it working, do you see your MAC address in the advanced wifi settings or is it "unavailable"?

anyone have a link to the step-by-step proper installation instructions? i'm on sprint. i downloaded the files and synced them to the root directory of my sd-card. i rebooted my htc tp2 but it booted to mighty rom with no option for dual boot. i am missing something but can't find the instructions. tia
