In VPG's 8525 ROMs he included a folder in Programs to Enable and Disable the Proxy (so that one could easily use WiFi instead of GPRS).
I found cabs for restore hidden proxy and remove hidden proxy, thinking those were the same. However after installing the cabs, I can't find them anywhere on my Tilt.
Does anyone know how to make them visible or where they might have gone to or especially how to create a new folder in programs to install them to
Proxy Cab
I am not sure about it working for the Tilt and am actually looking for the cab for proxy settings for my 8525. Do you think you could attach them for me? Or even better attach the link where you found it. Thanks.
I'm bringing this back to life because I've got the same problem.
I wiped all the ATT crap off of my Tilt. Then it seemed that the proxy was still enabled, so I downloaded the cabs here for remove/restore hidden proxy. The problem is, after I installed the cabs, I can't find where to launch the programs from.
Any help?
Installing the enable Cab file enables the hidden proxy.
Installing the disable Cab file disables the hidden proxy.
There is no program installed.
haha, I feel retarded for asking that... I just opened the cab and looked in the XML and realized that the cabs are just registry changes.
Thanks for the reply tho!
Okay, dumb question. I have both enable proxy, and disable proxy in my Windows directory. Is there a way I can add these to HTC Home, so I will have a quick easy way to use them? I also have SPB Pocket Plus, is there a way to add it there?
Thanks!
Hi, where can i get this for my wizard? thanks!
Explain.
Hi I have AT&T Tilt.
I accidentaly activated "Disable Proxy" CAB, and it said it was installed succesfully.
Can anyone explain for what is used Disable and Restore Proxy?
What is its function in my phone and what does that have to do with Tom Tom?

Has nothing to do with Tomtom. If you enable the proxy, you shouldn't be on wifi but rather ATT's network. The proxy is used to access some stuff off the ATT network, not wifi.
Hi,
I think (better I hope) I have found a solution for the "HTC looses HTTP proxy settings for WiFi connections". Probably you have already noticed, that the HTTP proxy setting for a WiFi connection (e.g. configured using "Work" connection setup) is lost after closing and reopening the connection configuration dialog.
During my investigations I found, that the registry snapshots, shortly taken after entering the proxy and after reopening the configuration settings again, were nearly identical. There was no clue, that the configuration program itself reversed the settings, so there was a high feasibility, that the problem is either the entry or the re-read into/out of the registry.
The problem seems to be, that the configuration program does enter the proxy setup in a wrong format. Whereas the "type" parameter should be set to "1" (HTTP) the configuration setup sets this to "0" (null proxy).
So in order to reverse this one has to change the registry (e.g. using PHMRegedit) by performing the following procedure:
1) Go to
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}
2) Locate your proxy setup (key starts with HTTP-{xxxxxxx})
3) Change the "type" value to "1"
For PocketIE the parameter "EnableAutoDetect" in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings (Note: There is no space in the key, don't know, why this forum inserts one) should be either not there (default) or set to 1.
Please double check and let me know. Keep in mind, that your settings may get lost, every time you tamper with the connection configuration program. Probably somebody could provide an OMA Provisioning CAB (_Setup.xml with CM_ProxyEntries and stuff).
EDIT: CAB attached. The contained _Setup.xml connects WORK (SrcID) with WiFi (DestId) using the specified proxy. Taylor it to your needs. Don't forget to "makecab /D COMPRESS=OFF _setup.xml ProxyOn.cab" (Note: COMPRESS=OFF) and ActiveSync it to your device. Tap it to "install". Save the cab for other uses.
EDIT II: Registry key fixed...sorry....
Regards
Neil
i hope this works, ill give it a go when i have time.
It works - great.
Thank you
Andre
I tried the proposed solution, using the .cab file and also by hand, without success.
My regietry key defining the proxy has type=1, but still does not connect...
Sorry, It works when conneting through activesync, but not through wifi.
Does anybody know where is the "intelligence" that decides which connection to use? Is it in the registry?
You have to ensure:
a) Your WiFi board connects to Work, not to Internet
b) Both connection setups must point to Work
The providec cab connects Wifi with Work and configures the proxy.
Hi, neil,
Thanks for the quick response. I did check that the card points to Work, and both connection set ups point to my work network. When editing the connections, I can see that the proxy is well defined. If I enter the registry, I can also see the proxy definition and "enable=1", "type=1". But still PIE hangs in "locating..."
Now, I run the .cab file with wifi "on"...
Probably something is wrong with your proxy. Fortunately I have a transparent proxy up and running. 141.39.43.185 port 8080. Try it. I'll see you
BTW: Sometimes a softreset does make wonders...
Regards
Ah, and don't forget: Whenever you open your devices proxy configuration and closes it again, the proxy config is messed up again by HTC.
Regards
Will try and provide feedback, but, What do you mean by try the transparent proxy? Shoul i define that proxy?
I din know about soft resets. I have even done a hard reset so I am now traying with a fresh registry... Have not ASed yet. But I wonder, Is there a key in the registry that defines which are the correct connections? Or is it all done via SrcId and DestId?
One more thing. I tried to change the proxy definition in your cab file. Extracted the setup, changed it and winrared it back... but this new cab will not install. My proxy is 192.168.0.254:8080...
Sorry for beeing not specific enough: Yes, please define that proxy. Transparent was meant in the sense of "does nothing than transfer back and forth"
Concerning repacking: Use makecab not rar. And don't compress.
SrcID and DestID makes the thing. This GUIDs haven't changed since the very first version of WM
Regards
Tryied my own cab file and worked... only once. It's lost again. Soft reset and will recheck. Thanks for the support
I can not make it connect anymore.
I run the cab file without success. What should the sequence be?
1.- set both connections to "my work network"
2.- open PIE
3.- run the cab file?
In Mobile 6.1 the settings stays but PIE doesn't use the the proxy configuration for some reason.
I'm experimenting with this. Making progress. But I'm still having some difficulty.
I think my Socks proxy port is not getting set right. I'll post back how it is going, but does anyone have thought about the Socks?
[EDIT]
Well, I had hooked up once (or maybe it was reading cache).
Anyway, I'm not having luck. It looks like the settings are right.
One thing I do notice, is that the WAP one, the Type is 2, and the Socks the type is 4, if that makes any difference. But the type for the HTTP one is 1, and the setting for IE looks correct to.

With the downloaded cab, extract the file (may use winrar), change it to your liking and makecab again (no compression).

Hi, Neil
Have you noticed the key "Modified"? If no wifi network is selected, this key seems to be "0", but when a wifi network is connected, it changes to "1"...

Hi Javes
That is what I'm doing. The only mod I made to the file was I changed the Proxy address to the DNS name of our proxy here at work.
What I"m finding is that the key is going in with Type set to 0, even though the XML file has 1 in it.
I'm also noticing that there is another HTTP characteristic with my Proxy (I'm guessing likely from setting in Conn Manager, with my Proxy, and a type of 0, so I have manually set both it and the one added by XML to a type of 1.
After that, still does not connect. I soft reset, and they are back to 0.
So, I went into Connection manager, and deleted references to Proxy,and turned off Proxy, and ran DClicked the Proxy cab again. The settings went in with 1, doesn't connect, and I get a popup that says "Cannot connect with current connectin settings"
So, I soft reset again, and it's back to 0.
So I went into connections, set Proxy to ON, but no proxy settings. Ran the XML file, still no connection.
I think I have a gremlin that won't let mu connect on the public at work. Interestingly, one day a copule weeks ago I was successful connecting...until a soft reset later that day. I had set EVERY item with my work Proxy: HTTP, WAP, SOCKS, and SECURE WAP.
ewingr,
I am no expert at all and have no solutions. Like you, I followed the original instructions about the cab file, with results similar to yours. I've been able to connect on two different occasions, but these connections only last for a minute. After this minute, connection is impossible for me, with resets, re-cabs and the lot. Lets wait until someone more knowledgeable drives us to success...
In the meanwhile, I will keep trying different things.
have any of you seen a "data" tab under phone settings? (it terminates any active internet connection when the phone goes into standby.) i had it with one of dutty's older roms but on his two newest roms that "data" tab is not there anymore. do any of you guys know a registry tweak or a program that would bring that tab back? my phone just drains the battery when its connected to the internet without me knowing (to receive email.) i have searched for it on google and all over the wiki but i haven't had any luck with how to enable it. thanks in advanced for your response.
look on the forum for modaco nodata cab
it lets you toggle the available connections

thanks for your help but i found what i was looking for i searched the registry of one on of the roms that had it active and just copy the registry name and value. here it is how to do it in case you are interested: Search for "PhoneSetting" on any registry editor and if the key "ShowPDPPage" is not there add it on as a DWord and set the value to 1. then using the Advanced Config tool scroll all the way until you see GPRS auto attach (under Data Connections) and set it to Disable, if its not disabled the connection will not disconnect even when the phone goes into standby mode.
I have a Tilt 8925 and I recently upgraded to WM 6.1. Now I'm unable to set MEdia Net to "Always On".
When I was on WM 6.0, I used KaiserTweak to do it and it worked perfectly, no problem. But since WM 6.1, after I soft-reset, the setting reverts back to "Enabled."
I even tried ACT, and I get the same result after I soft-reset.
As a test, I tried to set the AT&T ISP GPRS connection to "Always On" and that worked. It's only the MEdia Net one that doesn't work.
Does anyone know where in the registry and I edit directly to set MEdia Net to "Always On"?
Thanks!
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Media Net
Set Alwayson to 1
You don't really need to do a soft reset.
Hey, thanks for registry info.
Well, I tried it, set it "1" and as a test, I did a soft-reset. I went back into the registry and the value was back to "0"!
I know you said I don't have to soft-reset, but the purpose of me doing that is to ensure that the setting lasts when I turn off/restart my phone.
There's something that's definitely setting that value back to "0" when the phone starts up. If I can find a way with some sort of start-up script that will set that value in the registry, then that would work. I'm thinking like how in Windows you can export to a *.reg file and double-clicking on the .reg file imports the entry into the registry. Something like that.
I solved the problem by using Dotfred's Task Manager (which includes a Registry Editor).
First, I exported the MEdia Net key to a .reg file and then I created a shortcut to the Task Manager and placed the shortcut in my startup folder.
The great thing about Dotfred's Task Manager is that it has lots of command-line switches, including a "silent" mode so that it can load the .reg file without any popups whatsoever.

Sometimes the soft reset immediately after making a registry change is too soon, as in you did the soft reset before the change was saved.
Dotfred's task manager is good and I'm glad it helped you.

Can You tell how to do this ? I have try Dotfred's Task Manager, but dont kow how use it, also whit the reg of this program I coul set always on to 1 but Medianet keep geating off some times
This is no longer working for me, ever since I started to receive the "Network Logon" screen at boot-up.
I don't get any errors at startup, but it's just that now when I check the registry, the setting is still set to disabled (0), even though my registry has it set to enabled (1).
However, I am also no longer experiencing any internet disconnect issues.
But if you want to know how I originally did what I did, here are the steps:
Start Dotfred Task Manager Registry Editor;
Navigate to the MEdia Net entry (see previous post by golfer_boy) for the path;
Set/ensure the AlwaysOn setting is enabled;
Export the MEdia Net entry (tap and hold, then select "Export") to your storage card somewhere;
Launch File Explorer;
Navigate to where you exported your MEdia Net registry data file;
Tap and hold the file and then select "Copy";
Navigate to \Windows\Startup;
Tap and hold and select "Paste Shortcut";
Use a text editor to edit the above shortcut .lnk file. In my case, I connect my phone to my PC, then copy the file over to a temp directory on my PC, and use Notepad to edit it;
Edit the file such that the path to Dotfred's Task Manager prefixes your MEdia Net registry file and that the syntax is correct. See the instructions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms861519.aspx for the correct syntax;
Note 1: When you edit the .lnk file, make sure that ONLY the entire path to the Task Manager (Registry Editor) is in quotes. The path to your MEdia Net registry file and other parameters must NOT be in quotes.
Note 2: Make sure that you have configured your Dotfred Task Manager to start as the Registry editor by default.
Note 3: Include the Dotfred's Task Manager "/silent" parameter so that it loads the registry file automatically, without prompting you.
Example: 80#"\Program Files\FdcSoft\TaskMgr\TaskMgr.exe" \Storage Card\MEdia Net.reg /silent
Save/copy your file into the \Windows\Startup folder on your phone;
Reboot to make sure it works.
Good luck!
An easier way.
Nuspieds, you are right on the money up until step #10.
But once you've exported your desired registry value to a .reg file here's what you should do. (You will need Ghisler's Total Commander)
10. Using Total Commander, tap and hold your .reg file and select "Properties". Then select the "Associate" tab in the window that opens.
11. Tap the gray box that says "Associate..."
12. In the "Command:" box, reference the location of TaskMgr.exe (ex. \Program Files\FdcSoft\TaskMgr\TaskMgr.exe)
13. In the "Parameter:" box, leave the "%1" and add "/silent" (%1/silent)
That's all you need! Enjoy!
Looks like I have an icon left from a bad uninstall of HTC Wifi Router (tried both [email protected] CM Wifi Internet Sharing.cab and XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA.cab.) I ran Cleanup from SKtools but it is still there. The icon is labelled Wifi Internet Sharing. Help?
Moved as not ROM Development.
Use a file explorer and go to Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete the .lnk
Edit: Just re-read it's under Settings\Connections try and install the .cab again as it will ask to remove then don't continue with install.
Bad icon located elsewhere

Thanks for the quick help. Unfortunately the Wifi Internet Sharing icon is located elsewhere on my att&t Tilt: TodayScreen\Start\Settings\Connections.
Apparently it was put there by one of the two flavors of the HTC Wifi Router app I tried. I would need to navigate elsewhere or perhaps edit the registry?
