IE Cannot Browse Internet via GPRS

Installed Opera and it works fine.
For some reason, IE doesnt seem to use my GPRS connection to connect to the internet. If I enable Wifi, it works as well.
I noticed this trouble after flashing the rom to Dutty's TouchFlo AT&T beta 2. IE displays "Locating" in the status bar. After a couple of minutes I get the pop up message "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later."
I changed my network setting to use the same GPRS provider for both internet and private networks.
I can active sync with my exchange server. I can get weather updates. I can RDP my exchange server. All signs of internet connectivity are present.
I can live with Opera, but it beats me why and where in the registry is this set.
I have googled and researched on the net, most i found was a registry setting that pointed to the user agent. but i later found out that it wasn't necessarily causing the issue. It just instructed the site that you were a mobile device and too spit out a mobile page if available.
Your help is appreciated!

Update
Ok this issue is resolved when i reverted to the original HTC Kaiser ROM...dont know why this happens only with dutty roms.
Giving Custel Roms a shot to see if this is still an issue

I'm kinda in this boat as well, it works 1/2 the time on my stock AT&T Tilt ROM. I have noticed that if I do a soft reset, it will normally work.

Call your carrier and ask if there are any reports with GPRS/3G access at the area where you have problems. Sometimes a faulty cell transmitter can cause this.

I'm reasonably sure it's the phone, happens at home, happens at work, happened on vacation in both San Antonio and South Padre Island.

From what we have heard on here for US settings you may to disable 'Use Proxy settings' for your connection. That may help.

IE Cannot Browse Internet ...
so sorry guys but i may be posting this under an inappropriate post...
but my problem here is that i cannot browse Internet via active sync USB connection. it is giving me an error saying "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later".. this is strange but i was able to browse before. this happened suddenly and i haven't changed any settings. Tried remedies posted on other forums, how ever it dint work for me, Appreciate if any one could help me.
cheers

It happens because it is a AT&T based rom. They orinally configured the rom to use a Proxy server. There is a program i have which unregisters the proxy from the registry and Walla!!!!!

It happeed to my WM6, same here can use IE to surf internet by GPRS or USB, after disable proxy setting, is bck to normal, thanks!!

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Internet settings\EnableAutoDetect = 1
It works!!!

I had similar issues with Orange in the UK.
Received phone on Dec 7th, worked an absolute dream til the 11th when started dropping calls (issues with 3g network) and unable to connect to the internet via IE though Blackberry/Opera could still connect.
Well, after 3 handset replacements and everyone at Orange having no idea I think I figured it out. It's the Blackberry software. It seems to 'trick' IE into thinking there is a present GPRS connection, but obviously the Blackberry connection seems to use different broadcast ports where as other apps like Opera actively try to 'lock on' to a valid GPRS signal.
So, long post short... Spend the $24 and get Opera and leave IE to be confused by itself. Oh, and don't expect the 'tech support' at Orange to ever know what's going on!

Which program

cant browse IE on kaiser thru active sync connection

aparently i have no COM ports avaible, so i cant browse the internet. im not sure how to fix this, but im also not sure if it's just a problem on my kaiser? when i try to go on the internet it tries to connect to 3G, but i want to use active sync

You want to connect to the internet through your home pc via usb/BT?
You might want to try this.. I'm not SURE, just offering a suggestion.. someone can confirm/bunk this either way..
Start|Settings|Connections|Connections
One of the settings there might work for you,
If not.. theres a Little blue Question mark in the top right that actually has some pretty in depth info..
Sorry I couldnt be of more help, but it's a start.

Is ActiveSync actually working for you? I mean... is your Kaiser synching with your PC?
If activesync is working fine, try this on your PC (not on your Kaiser).
Open Regedit and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services
Create a new DWORD data type called "AllowLSP" and set it to 0
Plug your Kaiser again and let me know if it worked.

if i'm reading right you want to use internet sharing using usb or bluetooth and browse the internet using your PC?? is it?
1.first open setting in your active sync then uncheck allow the usb connection .
2.plug in the usb cable to ur pc and kaiser
3.open the internet sharing in your kaiser end select conection typ usb or bluetooth.
4.connect. (your computer will be installing rds driver automaticcaly)
5.then you'll have a gprs internet trough your pc
note you must have gprs/3g connection available in ur network.
in ur pc in the internet connection option makesure you select direct connection if you use firefox/opera.
Hope this solve your problem.

You are wanting to browse IE on your phone using the Activesync usb or BT connection (phone uses PC's internet connection for data) am I correct in thinking that?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'No comm ports available' as your WM device connects via USB?
Sorry if these steps may seem a bit condecending but best to check all.
1, Has your PC got a working internet connection (can you browse IE on your PC) ?
2, Is Activesync actually working (your contacts and mail are sync'ed) ?
3, In connection settings on Activesync (PC) you need 'Allow wireless connection' unchecked (Checked for tethering, PC goes through phone 3G) or phone will try to go through any data connections of its own first.
4, On your WM device under 'Settings' 'Connections' 'USB to PC, check the 'Enable advanced network functionality'
Hope this helps.

I have a similar query, I can use my PC's internet connection from home, but when I connect to my work PC it does not. Now I know this is down to the fact that my Work PC uses a proxy server, but how do I add this info in to my Tytn2.

Hi Farsquidge,
I have followed your steps above, but when I try to connect to IE on my device, I get the message "The current connection cannot be used for your request. Please end the current connection and try again."
Any ideas?
Also, many thanks for the widespread advice you have given throughout the fora - it has really helped me get the most of out of my TyTN2!

Your welcome.
Is your device an 'out of the box' HTC device that was not bound to a carrier contract? Some carrier (ie. AT&T Vodaphone) seem to have settings within the ROM (seen in other threads) that tie you in to only using their settings (ie Media.net) and using a proxy that cannot be changed for IE only for GPRS connections.
Anyone got ideas on this one.

Unfortunately, Orange UK got their hands on my TyTN2 before I did! Perhaps that's the source of my problems?

Are Orange UK (I am from UK but living abroad now) still wanting to promote their own Internet?
I know only last year a pal of mine said he could not connect his Nokia through his home WiFi because it would not connect via his BT Internet.
Check if you have a proxy connection set up on your GPRS cause ya never know!!!

I can connect to any Wifi network and access webpages without problems. Doesn't seem that there are any restrictions from that point of view. Thanks for the help - guess it's not really a problem not having Internet access via ActiveSync, as it connects to the Wifi network.

i guess i shoulda been more specific.
i wanted to browse the internet on my kaiser, using the active sync connection. however it wasnt working, but now ive re-installed opera and it works with that, not sure if it works with IE yet.

installed Opera and still no hope.

my tytn II is out of the box, not on any contract with an operator. can any one please help me..

Connection trouble with BB Connect on HTC FUZE

I installed BB Connect .106 onto my HTC FUZE and actually got it working, new PIN, IP address, everything seemed fine.
BUT. . .
I found that I could not connect to the internet or get emails, even though the connection settings clearly showed me as being connected to Media Net.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, is there a workable solution? FWIW, I do acually have a Blackberry plan (BIS) in use with my Bold, but I would like to have the option to switch between the devices as I wish.a

What, no one??? No one at all???

I am using about the same config as you, but all is working fine here. Keep in mind:
1. You have to set up a correct connection (APN) for all internet traffic but BBC (which uses its own non-configurable APN)
2. When you click on an internet link in a Blackberry message, your browser tries to use the BBC set APN to get the page.
3. When you browse to an URL in IE or Opera your browser tries to use the (self set) internet conection APN.
Maybe this helps you solve your problem.

Thanks for the reply. When I have more time to experiment I'll check it out.

How do I connect my Diamond thru Bluetooth to another phone with GPRS?

My Problem is the following:
I have my Diamond, which I use for work purposes, and my work Mobile subscription does not have Internet access.
However, I do have a private Mobile subsciption WITH internet access, which I have installed in a different (Nokia3109) Phone
The Internet works in the Phone, I can also use it as modem for my Laptop thru Bluetooth (works fine with the *99# and connection string I have setup)
NOW... I also want to use it as Bluetooth modem for my Diamond... problem (I think) is that in Windows Mobile 6.1, I can not configure the connection string anywhere. I have paired it already through bluetooth, Bluetooth services says indeed that I have Dialup Modem service, and it is also shown in the connection setup (I can select Bluetooth Modem as device)
For settings I use *99# as number, username password I have, but I cannot connect.
I DO know the connection string, which I have also used for my laptop... but don't know where to put it!!
can anyone help me in this?
some info on the Diamond:
ROM: Touch-IT v.41
CE OS5.2.21042
Windows Mobile 6.1
Thanks in advance,
Gordon

You have to add manually a STRING parameter named "3" into
HKLM/Drivers/Unimodem/Init
This is a place where you put your modem initialization string.
Usually it looks like
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","APN of your provider"<cr>
It should be ok then

Thanks for the tip.
It did not work however, I think the bluetooth connection was not very well...
I reflshed my ROM and tried again... now it work (although partly only...)
I can now update the weather and the stock information easily, but Windows Live Messenger, email or Webpages give errors of not being able to connect.
(e.g. with Internet Explorer, the Status bar first says connecting, then Locating, and that is where it stops (after a while) and gives the message it cannot find a page.
Do you maybe also have an answer for that?
thanks in advance,
Gordon

Internet connection problem

Hello guys!
I have a problem with connecting to internet on my diamond since 3 days!
With internet sharing i can connect my notebook to internet without any problems and with full HSDPA-Speed.
But all applications on the diamond, which needs a data connection, wont work! Eg. weather update, skype, opera, google maps, iexplore,....
If i connect it to my notebook with active sync, internet will work on the mobile!
I've tried different radios; with all exactly the same problem!
Device:
XDA Diamond 300
1.40 OliNex HardSPL
Duttys 2.03 Rom (i think v.4)
I hope sb can help me with this problem!
TIA Ennsi

settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
choose my isp
or whatever your isp settings use in the dropdownbox
and you're set it's not
a radiostack issue at all but a matter
of your phone being set to force to only
use my home network

I've tried this, but it's the same as before! =(
Another thing i've realized is that, when i want to go an a website (google.com), it jumps from 3G to H. Then the arrows come twice and disappear again (and the reception bar is shown). In the same moment the "ERROR! Network Problem" appears!

If anybody is interested, i've found the reason why i couldn't connect with the internet with 3G!
It's because i have used a specific IP address in the WIFI-Network Card. It actually happend with WIFI off!! Very strange!

Thank you, that solved the problem I was fighting with for months. In Spain we have 2 servers on Telefonica so the programs were confused.
Cheers
