I've got 2 accounts set up on my Tilt, one's Gmail and the other is with Comcast. For whatever reason, when I check Comcast it takes forever to finally come back with a response. It sits at 'Connecting...' for maybe 5-10sec and then 'Logging on...' for a good 45-60secs which is too long. Gmail comes back in like 3secs. On my pc at home it goes extremely fast so I know it's not on Comcast's end.
This happens whether I connect via wifi or 3g... For battery purposes I have it set to manually check, plus I check more often than 2hrs. XpressMail hasn't impressed me but if there's another method that might work better, I'm all ears!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I had the same problem when I used to have comcast e-mail. When you set up your comcast e-mail did you let Windows set it up? I suggest manually inputing the incoming and outgoing mail server settings. I would suggest checking those as they relate to Comcast settings.

Yeah I double checked those again and they're set the exact way as they are on my desktop pc, with the exception for outgoing mail which is necessary... Very weird... Thanks for the response though!
I think Comcast does that because it's out of network, . On my laptop,when I'm out of network it takes a long time to check too. This happened with my last smartphone also, so it's not a Kaiser issue at least.

Yeah I had the same problem with comcast. You might want to call 1-800-266-2278 and ask if they have some settings for mobile phones that might help. Other than that I really don't know sorry. Maybe another user here might be able to assist you.

Deffinately not specific to the Kaiser...this happened on my Cingular 8125 (Wizard) and At&t 8525 (Hermes) as well.
Well I just needed to make sure it's not something I was doing wrong on my end. If that's how it is, that's how it is. Not too big a deal but never hurts to ask right?
Thanks for the input!
After searching a good bit, I found a forum that said that even though the settings aren't checked for SSL, that it still goes through and does this. They said there was a tweak program or something to disable this. Not sure if that makes sense but I know that SSL is disabled in my setting under Comcast... could that be related?

Yup-mine was the Cingular 3125
(On a side note
totally glad I got ATT to let me out of the 2 yr hardware contract to upgrade to the Tilt-took a bit,but they agreed, had to make my case that they allowed upgradin to the iThing with no penalty, and after going to a 3rd level supervisor-was able to get the Tilt-and no penalty-had a yr left on my 3125 contract and they left me like that-so next yr can upgrade again at no penalty.)

Wow,
Tried that, and it messed up my settings-didn't work, comcast wouldn't even connect.
So I removed the tweak program,soft reset the phone and deleted my comcast account and re-set it up and BINGO!! checks like instantaneous now!!
Don't know if that tweak modified the registry and left it that way or what, but after removing that tweak program and resetting my email account and a soft phone reset it works awesome!! lol go figure.
Anyone know where to look in the registry for that disable ssl?

Found the problem-and a reg hack
Found the issue-
It turns out that the issue lies with the Comcast server. The short answer is that the Comcast server does not have SSL enabled and the mobile operating system (2003, WM5/6) thinks it does.

WARNING: This regedit turns off SSL for e-mail, so if you are concerned about it,or use another e-mail app that needs it, don't use this fix.
Here are the directions:
Follow these steps using any register editor software for Pocket PC.
1. Open Registry editor.
2. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox
3. Create a new DWORD value "ForceOffSSL" and give it a value of 1, Base=Decimal (tap Edit, and New DWORD Value).
4. Soft-reset device.

Awesome! Thanks a bunch!
Well for whatever reason, once I did that registry edit, I couldn't check either email account that I have in my device. It just kept stalling out at 'Connecting...'
I soft rebooted and attempted it twice with no luck. Any ideas?
Yup-
My fault-just googled for it and saw that regedit. Sorry, pulled a noob error , didn't test it b4 I posted and didn't realize that that it works for WM5. Seems it doesn't work on WM6. My apologies. I just deleted the key after testing it and I'm back to normal logon-sloooooooooooooow

No worries. I did the same to fix it. No problems now.
re slow email, microsoft strikes again
I had the same problem only with 2 comcast accounts. AT&T uses the xpressmail client for the first email account (as xpress mail can only handle one account) and outlook for all subsequint accounts. any account works just fine in the xpress mail and any outlook account is delayed at login. delete xpress mail and all the accounts lag. There is no way around this other than a third party email client. I have had good luck with Profimail (though I hate thier buttons) and flexmail. both are available as trials on Handango. I hate the thought of spending $30. on an email client but if your Tilt is set for fairly constant email updates the lag times add up and kill the battery very quickly. If any one knows of a cost effective (cheap) client let me know.
This worked for me

I realize this is an old post but I just did the same EXACT method of uninstalling the software, soft resetting and deleting/re-creating my comcast account and bam! Instant connection!
Thanks for this post. I'm new to the "Tilt" community but this website has proved invaluable to me.
Okay, I'm just wondering if there is a setting somewhere that I'm not aware of and hopefully someone could point it out. When I am at home and the phone is connected to my home Network ( WiFi ) Pocket Internet Explorer works just fine. Now turn off WiFi, reverting back to 3G, and Pocket Internet Explorer doesn't function. Just loads blank pages continually. The reason for me thinking it's a setting somewhere is because I also have Opera, which works fine on both WiFi and 3G. So while PIE is oblivious to the World around it, Opera's singing along. LOL! Honestly I wouldn't really even care except I have the mod installed that allows PIE to transfer live video streams to TCPMP thus making YouTube and such work rather well on the device. If that worked in Opera, PIE would never be used on my device. Hehe... So, anyway there's my problem. I eagerly await ideas. Thanks!
No one huh?
Geesh, I hate when I find a problem the technical like crowd can't even answer. :\ That leaves ya with... Technical Support from the... MAN... And we ALL know just how extremely useful / helpful those folks are.
Keep in mind that some people don't LIVE on this forum.. (i do though..) and the members of this forum are from all across the world, so people are on at different times.
Your posts are 13min. apart. If everyone could get their solution within 15min i think people that help out on this site should be paid! but thats not the case...
now to solve your problem; Are you on AT&T? if so i'd recommend finding the disablehiddenproxy.cab and installing that. I had the same probelm and after disabling the proxy everything was back to normal.
if i remember the manual correctly, for wifi you want proxy's off...
for MediaNet you want the proxy on

Firstly, thank you. I will try that.
Secondly, please check the dates of my posts. I realize that people do not live here. And all help is appreciated. I waited 24hrs.. And, by the way, I don't get to live here either. It is sheer coincidence that I happened to check back pretty much 24hrs. later on the button. LOL! Well, pretty close for not really even paying attention to that anyway.
Thirdly...
And thirdly, that is precisely why we all love ya! Disabling the proxy corrected the issue. I think that my phone actually came with that active, I don't recall PIE ever working over 3G... Until now that is. I figured it was simple since, as I said, I have Opera on the device also and it didn't care. It worked no matter how the device was connected to the 'net. Anyway, thanks much!
1. I bought from att and flashed it with the htc rom and now when I press the "@" it turns into "!" and some other buttons too but I can't remember which. how do i fix this?
2. Do I need a data connection in order to use the email or can I just use wifi?
I tried using wifi but it doesn't work. It says "the message could not be sent. check that you have network coverage."
3. what is the best gps to use with the tilt? I couldn't get tomtom to work because it couldn't detect my internal gps.
4. any awesome programs I should know about?
I don't know much about it but I would read a thread like this if your keyboard is messed up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911
thats perfect thanks man! but how do i install?
For TomTom, try this thread.
For email, are you using your own WiFi, or a hotspot somewhere? I find that when I am at home and using WiFi, I need to set my SMTP server to my ISP's, but if I am away from home and using GPRS I have to set the SMTP server to that of my mobile provider. I would guess it's the same for using different Wifi networks, since most won't allow you to send email via SMTP server A whilst connected to a network using SMTP server B. This is called relaying, and is to prevent spam mail being sent. Course I could be totally wrong, and your problem is something else!
Can you surf the net via WiFi? If so, try setting the device up for hotmail (just get a hotmail account if you haven't got one) and try sending mail from Hotmail. If you can do this, its more likely either a SMTP server problem, or go through the email settings menu, click on advanced server settings and see what the network connection is. It should be "The Internet".
For a must have program....since you seem to be using the phone for internet connections, get Opera Mobile. It's free and a substantially better browser that the stock Pocket IE. Other than that, browse the forums, you will find so much! Have a look for my post in this thread. Lots of idea's for programs!

1.) Get the keyboard fix, its in the CAB list, its under "Tilt keyboard fix".
2.) Try seeing what it is connecting to and if your wifi modem is letting it connect to it
3.) Probably Tom Tom the one made for the tilt. Its on here somewhere.
4.) CAB List has some . PM me and I will tell you some more in detail.

Why do people try to drive people away from the tilt? Most of the regular users wont see the problem, they will just see that its a bit slow when doing things and overall its a great phone. If you see that its a slow phone then you are over using it.
If you get the iPhone howardforums - the apple forum is the best to hack it!

BTW, thread closed as redundant and now that you've shown up (again) being Flame-Bait...
. So this is the deal, I originally had an ATT Tilt. I had no problems! I synched though active sync, via bluetooth and over air with no issues. Two days ago I got a Fuze, I was ecstatic, but then my camera became disabled and I consistently could not access my storage card. The message actually came up saying that my "camera has been diabled for security reasons". WTF is that? I have hard reset the phone about ten times now and everytime before I set up exchange everything works beautifully, but after I have no camera and no sd card. Is this a known problem or is my Fuze busted? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it possible that this is a policy in your company being enforced by your IT dept via your exchange server?
Believe me, I've discussed this extensively with my IT department and they haven't made any changes to their exchange server policies. They have the same question I have! If the companies Tilts are all working with the same OS what hardware changes in the Fuze could create such an issue relative to their existent server policies?
Update! I also tested this on a co-worker's Sprint HTC Touch Pro and got the same results. He had to hard reset his phone to get full functionality again! My IT dept says that our server links to an https site if thats relevant to anyone. I'm not technically versed in that area. Hopefully someone has had a similar issue, and potential workaround?????
Its almost going to have to be coming from a setting on your Exchange server at work. See the attached screen shot. All of those settings are configurable on the server. Once you connect, it automatically downloads whatever policies are in effect. This screen shot is from an Exchange 2007 server. I no longer have a 2003 server but it is similar.
Hmmmm....
Man, your awesome! I think IT was BS-ing me a bit, or they haven't bothered to check the settings themselves. I'm gonna break some necks and find out if these settings are the issue. Either way I'll report back my findings.

They probably weren't BSing you. They probably haven't touched those settings since configuring the server. The Tilt has a different version of mobile office which probably wasn't compatible with and subsequently ignored those settings.
zenyaa stayunlock cab -- search for it, install it, THEN sync w/exchange (may require hard reset to kill existing settings)
I installed zenyaa stay unlock before syncing accidentally after a hard reset and i never even got prompted for pin's.. hopefully it'll ignore the other restrictions too...
Keep in mind, this may be against the law for some companies, use responsibly.
zenyaa!
I like the potential. For now however, I have flexed some executive privilege and got my settings changed. I got everything enabled except wi-fi. , but they are paying for my media plan so no real worries there. I will look into zenya though, it seems ridiculous to ask for normal features on a smart phone, but I guess my IT department is restriction crazy. Thank you all for your input, this issue is technically resolved for me.

From an IT view, it's a huge security risk having a device that you cannot regulate on your network. Not allowing removable storage might be a little much though, especially if they allow you to have usb flash drives. I wouldn't allow wireless at all though, regardless of who requested it.
To an extent, I agree with you.
In this specific case however, I think my IT could/should have been more forthcoming about their mobile polices. That would have made me more specific in my search for a new business phone. I could have gotten something with less features based on policy. That being said, I think it was more a reluctance to hear criticism from a non-IT person than it was to adjust the default settings. With the exception of Wi-Fi (for probably the reasons you stated!), there was no real issue in changing my settings.
I just got my TD2 yesterday. Been trying to figure out the settings for the push internet, but i can't seem to find the option to use WiFi connection instead of data connection.
Also i realised that the scheduling doesnt allow to set the minute only the hour.
Does anyone have this problem?
No one has any problem using this feature?
If you have WiFi on it should just use it I guess? Otherwise what you can do is setup your preferred connection not to be the mobile web one so it doesn't try and connect to the net over GPRS/3G.
I tried using Wifi, but it doesnt work. I still need to manually pull the sites.
When your phone goes into standby the WIFI connection turns off to save the battery, so unless you have your phone set to never turn off and keep WIFI active all the time its unlikely that it will use WIFI to push internet pages to you. Very little point doing it that way since you'd never have the phone last long enough to get out of the house in the morning.
Oh I reckon I know what might be wrong. You also need to change the schedules of when the phone polls for sites. You do it by day and stuff and do a start time. Once you visit each site once then that'll start the ticker so to speak. Mine autodownloaded at the set intervals after that.
Thanks Shuflie, u have a good point.. there is no point updating it via wifi. It needs to use a data connection. Thanks
DaBountyHunter: Thanks for the advice.. but i really think the problem is that i dont have a data plan with my telco.. i cant rely on WIFI since it disables whenever the phone goes into standby.
hi,
i'm a little bit confused about this feature!
i addet 4 sites to my list and if i got it right, there is a grey arrow if its updating and a green if its finished! is that correct?
but, when i surf on a site with a green arrow i can only see the main page, because if i tip any link on this it says error!
thats a total mess, the deep of min one link is essential...
do i something wrong or is this feature only a dream!??
I believe it only updates the pages on the main page. It doesnt save the entire site (i wished it did) cos it seems rather redundant when it only saves the main page.
hopefully someone can make a fix that it also loads the linked pages but i think it takes up too much memory/battery life and for example on news sites you only need the headlines, and if you want to read the article you'll have to wait a bit.
(for the Dutch, use tweakers.net/nieuws on your phone, it loads the articles instead of headlines)
well then in my opinion this feature is senseless!
quite true.. senseless.. might as well just use RSS feeds.
I still haven't received my TD2 (seems like it takes time for other languages as I'm looking for a french one which should be shipped on the 8th of May) but I still have a question regarding push internet feature.
What happens when roaming? Is there a way to disable it while on another network? Like a "disable while roaming" feature? Knowing the fees for data roaming, I don't want to spend money every time I'm going in another country...
yes, there is a 'disable when roaming' feature.

i tried that, also tried many other things but i am almost defintely sure the 'add push page' is simply a bookmark button. the main conclusion for this is that i dont get any notification of the 'auto pull' and it still attempts to connect to HSDPA when opening one of these push pages
I stopped using it because it only updates the top page.
