Pocket Internet Explorer won't work on Tilt

Hi everyone,
I've been searching for a solution for my problem on here through the forum's search and the Google search all day but haven't found one yet so I'm finally throwing my hands up in frustration and posting hoping that some of the very talented and kind folks online can help me out.
I bought an AT&T Tilt last month and the pocket IE worked fine on it when I was using it with AT&T in Northern California. I am using Dutty's WM6 rom and the .17 radio.
I then flew out to Islamabad, Pakistan where I am currently staying. I used the SIM-unlocker found on this forum and everything seemed ok. Pocket IE continued to work on my network here (Mobilink, they have GPRS and EDGE). Then suddenly 2 weeks ago, pocket IE stopped working. Now whenever I try to load a page in it, it just gets stuck at "Locating" and the animation looking for the website keeps going in circles. It never finds the site. I've tried all kinds of different websites and always no luck.
At the same time, Opera works 100% without any sort of problem. Also I am able to use the built-in WM6 e-mail manager to check my Gmail over IMAP over the same GPRS/EDGE connection so I know my connection is fine. Pocket IE still doesn't work. I checked in connection settings to make sure there was no proxy enabled, that both my networks were set to my provider (mobilink)'s connection settings and I double-checked my connection settings with my provider. I feel as if it isn't their fault since all my colleagues are able to use their phones and the Internet and even on my device, the other applications such as Opera and built-in mail work. I also downloaded the Gmail java applet and even that works perfectly.
I'm at my wit's end about what I should do or try that could make a difference and I would sincerely appreciate any help anyone can offer. I've heard of a disablehiddenproxy option but have so far been unable to find that .cab file anywhere that I could download it...and I'm not sure if that fix would apply for me since I am no longer using the AT&T/Cingular network.
Please help! Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi,
I'm back with a solution to my own problem, it seems!
I did find the disablehiddenproxy.cab here and installed it.
I then did a soft reset (pushed the stylus into the little reset hole) and when the phone turned back on, pocket internet explorer is once again working perfectly.
Thank you XDA developers for providing all this information for free!

thanks - you just saved my day.
i was clueless to why my PIE didnt work all of a sudden - and now it works again...

Thanks a million, I got a Tilt to work on Rogers network and everything worked except for IE
this fixed it and now I got it all - awesome

Hi Everybody,,having problems with 3G speed and can't figure out why?
I am in Calgary, with HTC Tytn that I have had for 1 1/2 years. Ever since I could see them experimenting with 3G (could see the icon) I was waiting for the day that I could see the benefits of 3G. Well,, my speed of download is miserable, even with full 3G bars. I have all the proper icons showing up on top, 3G,, and when downloading internet page I see the H icon appear. An aquaintance in Winnipeg, said that he almost gets Wifi speed with 3G.. I have put a new sim card (thought that might be a reason,because it was out of my old blackberry). I am really depressed ,especially when I went to download an internet page on a demo iPhone and was blown away by the speed, which I don't have. I now hve Schaps 4.31 and Radio 1.51,, and basically,since owning the unit have never had the speed. Can anyone possibly help me figure out what is wrong? Perhaps over chat, skype? I have always used Lurch's settings whenever I put in a new Rom, and I feel that all HSDPA is enabled through Schaps config, and elsewhere. Any help would be most welcome. I still love my TyTN,, Thanks for any help you can give to me. I have of course IE browser, but also Opera

worked for me too
But what the heck caused it in the first place.

Wowwww....Thank you so much for the solution mate. Saved me a lot of time. You are awesome!!!

awesome, thanks!
That does fix it for me as well.

Thanks
You just saved me to. PIE stopped working for no reason a few months back. I have been looking for a fix without sucess untill now. Thanks once again!

Gas Addict - another thank you - worked like a charm.
For my education - can anyone explain the hidden proxy issue.
What is it? where did it come from? and where did it go to? and why was the problem intermittent? PIE locked only 80% of the time - sometimes it worked OK only to fail again... Tks again

The hidden proxy, is exactly what is says it is...A hidden proxy. The proxy allows AT&T users to connect to medianet services via their phone's internet connection. If you disable the proxy you will not be able to connect to medianet services (such as typing "home" and it takes you to AT&T's medianet site).
If you are not using AT&T then you should have it disabled in the first place. My guess is that some piece of software enabled the this proxy somehow. All the cab does is reset IE to autodetect if there is a proxy, which can also be done in Kaisertweaks.
Nothing too exciting to reveal, but since all you guys wondered what it did, i thought i'd look and let you know. It's just a provisional xml file that inputs some settings and registry edits.

Did you mean "If you are not using AT&T then you should have it DISabled in the first place"?

yes, that is what i meant
It is fixed

Thank you for the CAB file. The file fixed my IE issue on unlocked ATT Tilt on Rogers Network.

Pocket IE back in line
No idea why my PocketInternetExplorer could all of a sudden only open locally stored .htm files, but nothing on internet anymore. OperaMini 4, OperaMobile 10 and SkyFire browsers continued working without any problem.
A few applications rely on a functioning PIE, so could not be used as a result.
Luckily this .CAB did the trick for me too, many thanks Gass Addict!

Qik

Does anyone have this running on a tilt?
http://www.qik.com/
it's a live streaming web video that uses your phones camera.
Mine gets stuck on launch with "initializing camera". Other people on the qik site with a tilt have the same issue.
Wondering if anyone is running it here or knows how to fix that problem.

there is a cab to enable att video calling, i assume that since att doesnt support video calling that is the problem. search for the cab, youll find it, also try installing att disable hidden proxy cab. hope that helps

cab
can someone post the cab file for tilt here? sms method didn't work for me

no its not! it is for video streaming!

I had forgotten about Qik.
I signed up a while ago, only to discover that our phone wasn't supported!
I've just resurrected my account and downloaded the program and tested it.
It seems to work really well.

tried that cab. it wanted to upgrade to newer version. and still had "camera initializing.."
Maybe because I'm running a cooked rom?

i thought i saw that video calling is supported by new 6.1..
i dont use so i didnt make note and dont care.

bilbobrian said:

actually no
it's just using a camera source. nothing to do with the HTC front camera and tilt missing it. lots of people have qik running on the tilt. I do not yet.

just trying to help

No it is not. Video calling as a native feature of 3G networks, and it's thus handled by the 3G protocol stack. The Tilt having no front cam and not being meant to use video calling, that function was disabled. It can be enabled and the back cam used instead though.
But that has no effect on any other program wanting to open a video device (either back or front one) and do whatever it wants with it like encoding and streaming its feed over the internet.
Try researching a bit before shouting at innocent people...
Re the program, looks good, I might have a try

whos yelling

I use Livecast w/o any problems.

well, i just put it on my tilt and it works fine just that i get a long delay on the live video.

Works "fine" on my tilt... 10-15 second delay though :-(

I've used Livecast as well but Qik seems to be much better.
I used Livecast at a football (soccer) game that I went to one time.
On my club's forum, people who can't make the game 'cos they're working or they're ex-pats log in and follow/discuss the game online, creating a "match thread".
I posted a link to my Livecast page and gave them snippets of the game.
At one point, my team got a penalty kick, so I was able to quickly start Livecast and let them see the goal (almost) live.
Watching it later the picture was absolutely lamentable though, Qik definitely seems to be a step up from that.

Qik support
hey Guys, thanks for trying the Qik and for the feedback. Actually I'm from Qik team and I want you getting involved in the process of development. I know there are some problems with Kaiser devices. I really want you to provide some debug builds with extended logging to figure out the problem.
If you have any ideas about Qik, things to improve, feature requests please left posts on this thread or contact me directly vovk <[at]> qik.com

Just something that may or may not be relevant to the people who are getting "initializing camera".
I hadn't had this problem but recently I tried to stream some video, realising too late that I was in a bit of a dead spot where I could only get GPRS, not 3G or HSDPA.
I immediately got the "initializing camera" message and it stayed like that until I did a soft reset.
It might (note 'might') be worth checking that you've got a decent 3G signal before opening qik.

Alright, ignore the above.
I'm just sitting here, I had a big ol' HSDPA signal and I thought that I'd try qik...............................
"Initializing camera".
Looks as if signal strength isn't necessarily the deciding factor then.
I'll soft reset, I bet it works then.
Edited to say: Yeah, worked fine again after the soft reset.
Hey, this is my 100th post!

I really wish that the quality of the video could be better. I realize that this is probably a problem more with the Tilt and its crappy video/camera drivers than it is with Qik.
This is something I'm really interested in though, I would like to see what some other phones look like but the qik website doesn't seem to tell you which phone recorded what.

Internet Explorer

I have the newest AT&T 6.1 ROM on my Tilt. I've noticed that via WIFI, I can view information on the web through IE, that I can't via the 3G network.
I have a securities practice test site that I enter to study for exams. If I jump into WIFI (home or Starbucks, etc.), I can view the practice test questions. If I'm NOT on WIFI, the test questions don't load...
Can anyone tell me why this happens? And, is there a way around it?
****Skyfire has NO problem at all with OR without WIFI. But I don't like the way the zoom feature with Skyfire shows the material, and I have to adjust it each page. Painfully frustrating. Opera, like IE, does NOT allow the viewing of the test questions either. ONLY Skyfire loads the entire page when NOT on WIFI.
Thanks for your help...

It sounds to me that it is likely a javascript problem. I'm not so sure PIE handles javascript at all.
If the page has javascript it may not display correctly, or possibly not at all.

Thanks for the reply. Here's the thing. It'll work FINE if I'm using the WIFI on my Tilt. It's ONLY when I use the phone (H, 3G) to access the web. It seems that the WIFI connections have something that my H or 3G connection via the phone doesn't. But thanks for the input.
Seems that this is a hard one to figure out. But I appreciate your stab at it with me.

How about coverage? But seriously, have you tried it in other areas?

think U will nid this..
something abt hidden proxy for PIE...
I had the same problem few days back after flashing a rom..
no problems when using opera mini.. only PIE giving problems.

Could be the carrier proxy being used through IE. Naturally via WiFi you cannot use the ATT proxy . Skyfire uses its own proxy thus the issue at hand.
Noticed this issue too on some sites. You could report it to the carrier but dont count on immediate resolution.

Thanks for the reply. I think you guys have cured the IE problem!!!! I JUST loaded the removehiddenproxy cab and the information came up in IE!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Now, Opera STILL doesn't show the information (I would rather use Opera), so if there was a way to do the SAME thing for Opera, that would be COOL! But the cab sure cured the IE problem. Anyone know if there's a "removehiddenproxy" cab that works for Opera?

This makes PERFECT sense!!! Thank you for your help. This means that Opera 9.5 Beta probably has the "hidden proxy" as well! Know how I can remove that other than contacting Opera developers (I don't know HOW I would do that...)?

did you ever sort you issue with opera, as im in the same boat, cant get it to conect to the net, been searching the forums today and still even with disablehidenproxy.cab, cant get it to connect!

[APP] NFL Mobile Live (from Sprint)

I did an advanced search on google for the whole forum and didn't find this posted anywhere. I stumbled upon it by accident. If its already been posted, please delete it and don't flame me.

Does this work?
On another device NON SPRINT , will this work?

for free?? if im using at&t

It works sweet on my At&t Fuze! Thanks!

Errors out on my Fuze.

yeah i want to know if it works on the fuze and if it works over wifi because i dont have a data plan. Thanks

thanks, just in time for playoffs!
works on my Fuze on 3G fine

Hmm, what am I doing wrong for me to have it error out on me like that? Installs fine but unable to launch it. Using ROMeOS's latest.
It may just be software issues on my end.
EDIT: Works now, I actually stopped and read the error (duh), It didn't see my data connection so I turned on Wifi. I may have to tinker in the connection settings to see my data connection.
BTW thnx OP for the cab.

how is the speed on TP? I recently upgraded from an apache and the NFL app was slow as sh*t

i cant install it because of an error in the setup file?? any suggestions?

Pretty slow for me on the fuze.

I got the error too initially. Do a soft reset. It worked for me.

I got it to install just fine and i can read all the links and stories but i can not see any video. with that being said..... NOW i am using this on an EPIX (dont see and good threads anywhere sorry) most all .cab's work like the should (ppc wm6.1 and so on)but the software tells me that i dont have a device that can stream video??? any ideas? could this be because sprint has nothing like this device and the FUZE is on their network???? any feed back would be nice.

Sorry guys, I don't really have any answers...Bit I am using Hibby's 1.7 ROM from ppgeeks. I don't plan on using this all that much, but as far as I can see, the app works 100% on my phone. Yes, a little slow, but it works.

I have the ATT Fuze.....works Great Thank You!

works amazing! thanks! anyway to get the video to play fullscreen though?

Installed with no issues and runs with no issues. But like some others, it does seem to run pretty slow.

It works on my Tilt, but I can't watch any video. I'll be getting my Fuze this weekend and will try it on there

M2D Weather Wont Update?

Hello,
I'm using iolite_v05 WWE ROM that has touchflo as the today screen. The weather worked upon initial flashing (I update it through wifi) but all of a sudden it will not update anymore.
It gives me the error "Unable to retrieve data for selected city" - I have tried other cities, and get the same error (random ones, none close to me) - also have tried updating in other WIFI networks, same problem. It has also been a problem for almost 2 weeks now, so I'm assuming its my phone unless the weather servers disabled service?
What caused this to stop working, and how could I fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

anyone?

I get the same problem on just about any Weather Plugin....

it was working fine though

Does your connection use a proxy server ? Try going into your connection settings and disable any proxy server.

No it doesnt - and I have also tried on several different WIFI networks.. so its definitely a software issue on the device.

If you think that it is a software problem, then try reflashing the rom.

If it worked first off then something had changed try different location than usual to see if prob with accuweather, then hard-reset test if you can get weather update? If you do will be worth installing software slowly and seeing if anything you install causes this? If not then re-flash think poldo also has an updated ROM now.

The flash is less than a week old and I've spent what little spare time I have customizing it and adding everything back to it...
Not really looking forward to doing it again
Thanks though...
