I have just upgraded from a DIAM 100 to a 130 so now 3G works beautifully.
However my mail set up fails to synchronise (both bigpond and windows live).
It will work on wifi but will not work otherwise (full 5 bars reception and internet does work.)
I figured it must be the settings for my telstra internet/wap setting however when i go into connections, it tells me that this is preconfigured and cannot be modified.
So has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it.
I have wasted several hours of on hold to Telstra so I thought I would ask this forum first.
I have searched the fora without success for this problem.
Many thanks

Flexmail for the win!
I have exactly the same problem. I'm assuming the Teltra ROM is locked down and you can't do much with it.
The problem is the proxy settings, don't enter them and you will be able to use msn and email, but you will loose access to the "free to browse" Telstra pages
Copied from http://configure.telstra.com.au
1. On the handset, tap on the Start button.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. Tap on Connections tab.
4. Tap on Connections icon.

I had this problem and fixed pretty easily by going into email inbox tab, then press menu / tools / options then tap an account to change its settings. click 'edit account setup' press next a couple times until you get to a page with "Advanced Server Settings" down the bottom in blue. click on that and change the network connection box from 'The internet' to telstra internet. click done and next til the setup is finished and you should be able to get your mail over the 3G connection

Ive gone to the settings in the gmail account, and enabled imapi and followed the intructions for setting it up on the TD2, but i allways get a message saying account details are incorrect...when i know 100% they are right.
Rob
Gmail working with my TD2 is no problen.
Me too. I have no problem with gmail and my TD2.
did you set it up using the below instructions?
1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail settings.
2. Open the Start menu and select Programs > Messaging > New E-mail Account.
3. Enter your Gmail address (including '@gmail.com') in the E-mail Address field*. Google Apps users, enter your full address in the format '[email protected]_domain.com'*.

Works
Yep had gmail set-up on my td2 for ages now, never had any problems with it. Was a simple set up through windows mobile email wizard.
Work
Oh and no didn't use the method above, I let the phone get the settings automatically from the internet.
This is not really PUSH email right? The phone still goes to retrieve the mail on a specified schedule rather than the server(gmail) pushing the email over to the phone when it receives a new email.
unfortunately, yes. The only way to have PUSH email, is when you connect to an exchange server.
Or you can use alternative email programs, out there, that doesn't have the IMAP "IDLE" protocol crippled, like pocket outlook.
Profimail's IMAP IDLE works really great.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note - NOT ROOTED
1st time using Android
I may be posting similar problem that user may have face, but I tried to search for the same case and i not getting any result.
So my case is explained below
The problem:
I can connect to secured wifi network at my home and other wifi spots without a problem. But I can't connect to my office open wifi network at all. With my ipod touch,blackberry and even old nokia e72, it was a breeze to get internet access at office. After being connected to wifi, I have to go to web browser...then, it should automatically redirect me to Wifi Authentication Login page. It's not happening with my Galaxy Note android devices and is working just fine on my ipod touch.
my android devices would show signal quality as "Excellent". whenever i go to web browser, it doesn't redirect me to authentication page. instead, the connection page would time out.
I 've tried these:
-Clearing Cache.
-Factory resetting.
-Using other browsers, Dolphin,Firefox, etc.
-Apps on Android Market(Wifi Login, Wifi--etc etc.)
Does anybody have this kind of issues??? I think this is a BIG FLAW with Android OS. Need to find a fix if there is one out there
Any takers on this tread? Please do advise if you have the answer
there used to be an authentication based WiFi service in my previous work place and I could easily log in using opera mobile on my galaxy note to first log in and then browse
IAM not sure if this will help
...
try opera mobile instead of stock browser and in settings change your client to desktop
good luck
The solution!!!
Hi everyone! I've almost torn my hair out the last two weeks trying to figure out this problem. and I've found it!
It is a DNS problem.... you need to use OpenDNS or Google DNS and set it manually in your WIFI settings. Then the login page will appear now when you connect and you'll have internet. Here's how:
To change DNS settings and connect to our system from Android 2.3 device you can do following:
1. "Settings"
2. "Wireless and Networks"
3. "Wi-Fi settings"
4. Menu > "Advanced"
5. Use static IP
6. Copy current IP address (few lines above) to IP address field
7. Set Gateway as router IP (usually the same as current IP except last number is .1, i.e. if your phone IP 192.168.2.130 then router's likely 192.168.2.1)
8. Set Netmask 255.255.255.0 (sometimes it's different, but you should already know what to do if it is)
9. Set DNS 1 and DNS 2 fields as per table below (these are Google DNS values):
DNS 1 8.8.8.8
DNS 2 8.8.4.4
10. Menu > "Save"
11. Restart your phone (power cycle).
FOR ICS/Android 4.0 people:
1. Settings
2. WiFi (click on word "WiFi", not ON/OFF switch)
3. Press and hold preferred (or active) wireless network until dialog pops up
4. Select "Modify Network"
5. Check "Show advanced options" checkbox at the bottom
6. Switch "IP settings" to "Static"
7. Keep IP address, Gateway and Network prefix length the same (should be set from standard DHCP)
8. Set DNS 1 and DNS 2 fields as per table above.
9. "Save"
10. Restart your phone (power cycle).
CHEERS. Please spread widely, as this is a big problem for android users and public networks!!
Wow. This is the only thing that has worked for me.
When I changed the IP to static, the IP, gateway, network, and dns were all correct, as in your list. But they were greyed out. So I couldn't hit "save." Then I typed them in (without changing anything), clicked the save button and finally was able to log in. So something is wrong with the way android manages wifi. All the information was there, but android wasn't using it. In addition to changing the IP to static, the information has to be entered manually. Information android already has access to, but won't use for some reason.

thanks alot man, this tutorial is really helpful.
Hi I m android 4.0 user I have followedyour steps but after restarting no login page is coming what I have to do??
I have the Samsung S7 and through your tutorial I am able to connect to Wifi but my company's login page doesn't come up in the browser (Opera, Chrome, Default Browser).
Any one has the other half of the solution?
Try
To sign-on you have to do the following (credit reddit):
1. tap sign in to Wi-Fi
2. press the three dots
3. choose you network as is
4. open chrome and go to any website that will redirect you to sign in page
5. sign in

Still can't login. Tried the reddit solution but didn't see a "use network as is" button or anything close. Also tried to make the IP static. Still nothing. Someone please help! I'm at my wit's end!
I have a Samsung SM-G318ML Android 4.4.4 with security patch from 9-1-2016. None of the procedures above work to get to a browser logon screen. I will go down to a nearby Starbucks soon and try using the phone's "Internet" browser instead of Chrome - I have not tried that yet. Holding down the WIFI button on the screen where you choose a particular WIFI source just sends me back to the previous screen. There is nothing labeled "Control Panel." I cannot find a screen to change from automatic to static IP, nor can I find OpenDNS or GoogleDNS. Every generation of Android seems to have significant differences in accessing these features of the operating system making this a really frustrating problem. Any suggestions - beyond the obvious "get an iPhone."
Solved on 2nd hand unlocked Galaxy Note 4 that had been reset before I bought it. Solution: downloaded Dolphin browser app and an app called Wifi Browser Login, by Cedric Ho; both free from Google Play store. In the settings for Wifi Browser Login, select: Login Action. What to do if login from browser is required. Then select: Popup WebView. I then found that connecting to public Wifi triggered the usual message that the wifi had been connected to, but instead of just not getting the browser login page that requires T&Cs to be accepted, a small window appeared asking which browser I wanted to use to open that page. It had the range of my available web browsers to select from, including Dolphin Web Browser. I selected it from that window and Dolphin opened showing the T&Cs acceptance page for the public wifi I had connected to but had previously been unable to use. I have not experimented to see if adding the Dolphin browser app was necessary or not, it might be that Wifi Browser Login alone was the solution.
I am surprised that this problem has existed since 2010 and there is no solution offered from Samsung or Android.
tryRoo method works for me. Just to be more specific though. Please read the notes before giving up trying.
1. Connect to wifi as per usual (hold down wifi button to select the wifi connection and choose the connection).
2. Go to any website so that they will prompt to sign in.
3. Sign in.
NOTE:
1. Sign in page will fail to show after the first step. Ignore it. Continue to step 2.
2. After step 1, you have to sign in before the login time runs out. So, do step 2 within the time limit (I am unsure how long. Perhaps around 1min).
3. While doing step 2, not all website will prompt you with the sign in page. Only after I have tried to login to my company website, that the sign in page appear. I have tried yahoo.com webpage, it doesn't work.
I am using Samsung Note 3 and Hotel wifi (I dun think this matter).
I hope this method works.

I have the same problem and am surprised the fix is so complex, and it sounds like it might be specific to one network which isn't much use if like me you are travelling around using dozens of different networks.
However, something I have discovered is that, for me at least, this issue only exists when the browser tries to connect to an https address (which includes google and most sites it seems). But if you try to connect to a regular http site ( I use the Indepent newspaper (uk) by default but I can't post the url) then it generally redirects me to a log in page successfully
YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this "fix." This problem has almost made me lose my mind!
I copied and posted my original post via the nexus thread. i thought i'd repost it here since i'm guessing some of the other note users may have done this too. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Please note that I got the app to work with my stock rooted rom. Now i'm just trying to get it to work on any wifi network as opposed to just my home wifi network.

1. Install CopSSH for Windows from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sere...r.zip/download
2. Extract the .exe file from .zip file and run the setup. During the setup, you will be prompted for a username and password, make sure you specify this and make it something you can remember (you will need it later).
3. Activate a user by going to Start->All Programs->CopSSH->1. Activate a User. Select the user you just setup in step 2.
4. Type in and confirm a passphrase (make sure you remember this). Then click activate.
5. Now you need to allow an port exception through your Windows Firewall. Standard SSH port is port 22, so that's what I used. You can do this by going to your control panel, selecting Windows Firewall, and click "allow a program through Windows Firewall."
6. Select Add port...name it SSH and enter port 22.
7. Click change scope...and make sure the radio button that says "Any computer (including those on the Internet) is selected. Click OK.
8. Now we need to setup port-forwarding to your router. To do this you need to know how to access your router, your WAN IP address, and your LAN IP Address assigned by your router.
9. To find out your LAN IP address, open a command prompt and type in "ipconfig -all". Typically, it will begin with 192.168 unless you have modified your LAN settings. To find your WAN IP address settings, google "what is my IP address?" There are a number of sites that can tell you that.
10. To access your router, you need to find it's IP address, which is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1; you will know by entering one of those addresses in your browser and it will prompt you for your login info. If you don't know your user name and password, I can't help you there but Google may be able to (try to look-up the default username and password for your router model).
11. Once logged in, find your "virtual server" or "port forwarding" settings, specify port 22 - 22 for the start and end range, and route it to the LAN IP address you found in step 9. Save your settings and exit your browser.
12. If you've made it this far, your SSH service and port forwarding settings are done; now you just need to log into it. Download SSH Tunnel from the Google Play Store.
13. When you open it up, it will ask you for a number of settings. I have listed them below and what you need to enter in each textbox:
- Host Name: Enter your WAN IP address that you discovered in step 9.
- Port: Enter "22"
- Username: Enter your username you specified in CopSSH
- Password: Enter your password you specified in CopSSH
14. Make sure the following options are checked:
- Use socks proxy
- Global proxy
15. That's it! Now scroll to the top of the app and check the first checkbox labeled "tunnel switch" and it should connect you.
Please keep in mind that you need to be logged into a wifi connection, but it doesn't have to be your home wifi connection!
DON'T forget the thanks button!
Lkrfn5283:Thank you for this post. I'm unsure what i'm doing wrong but i went over the instructions and made sure i did everything correctly, but it keeps saying "error: cannot connect to host" I'm using a tmobile galaxy note with a stock rooted ics rom. This write up should apply to any phone with an ics based rooted rom correct? any help would greatly be appreciated as i'm completely lost on what i did wrong.
*note: on step 11 it shows two areas where you can enter the IP address and start port/end port. One is labeled "internal" and the other is labeled "external". On the internal i input my WAN IP and ports starting and ending in 22. On the external I input the remote address and the local port/remote port as the starting and ending ports given by the sshtunnel app.
