I just bought a 8525 phone and am trying to get on my wireless network at home. Everytime I go to turn on the wifi a colored pie chart spins like the phone is thinking and then nothing happens. I thought the phone should leave the wifi on but it just comes up with a "x" through the wifi button. I have no trouble getting connected to the wifi with either of my laptops. I even disabled the wep on my router and it did not change anything.

Please help a noob out, is the wifi icon suppose to stay on or does it search for a network and not find one and give me the "x" through the icon.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am running windows mobile 6.0. I can get you my version number if needed.
The wifi does not even light up on the phone, shouldn't it have a flashing light like the bluetooth?

try a new rom, or look at xda for a fix for the rom you are running.
