Hi everybody,
I had a problem with my WM6 when I tried to surf via GPRS. The connection went fine but the requested pages would not load. After a lot of posting and research I found out that the pocket IE included in the WM6 rom only opens
url's when they start like this:
wsp://www.google.com
This is a real pain in the a** because when you click a search result in google it'll link ya to an http://... site and the problem starts again!
I live in germany and I use the O2 WAP Flatrate and up until the WM6 rom I had no issue.
Does anybody have a fix for this maybe a registry tweak that tells the pocket IE to behave as in the previous rom's?
I know a few of you out there got the same problem and I hope this thread will help us enjoy this great rom because everything else is just perfect for my needs!
Thank you and I am looking forward to your suggestions!
Cheers

I can assure you that PIE in WM6 opens http:// addresses too. I haven't tried connecting through GPRS, though. Only WiFi.
Maybe it's a DNS problem?
Hi Risidoro,
which WM6 are you using? I use the PDAVIET3 and I had the same issue with
the PDAVIET1.
DNS sounds good but it worked on the previous roms and I use the same settings as before. Maybe there is some registry entry in the PDAVIET causing
this phenomena!?
Thanks for helping!
im using the Original WM6 rom and im not having 1 problem.. maybe is PDAVIET3 rom.. i have been using PIE on Wifi and GPRS and it always connects
I'm using the BigBrother's rom AKA clean wm6 and i've no problem so far. IE works as always...that is: BAD (but at least it opens http)!
The best browser for WM, the real usable one, is Picsel Browser.
It can't be bought online (picsel only sells it to device manufacturers) but... WM6 couldn't be bought too... if you know what i mean
I do use pdaviet3 and have no problem opening http pages with GPRS in IE.

Double clic and move the stylus up or down. It's all explained in the first page that's shown when you start the program.

I think you have bad gprs connection settings, as you wrote you can only open through wsp:// it means you are connecting to WAP service where only connection to internet is through APN (Access Point Name) so you have to use wsp (wireless session protocol). I'm assuming you set up your connections using some cab file, don't you? Go to Settings/Connections/Connections/Manage existing connections and check how many connections you have there if it's only one than it's for shure connection through WAP APN and you have to change it to normal internet connection if there are more than one connections check the proper settings for internet instead 'auto pick' if any of this does't work make your own settings as I can see for German O2 you have to only put APN name 'internet' and nothing else no passwd or login. Hope this info helps you

Hi deviusdragger,
tried your help but to no avail. The PDAVIET 3 really has different settings but changing them and rebooting did not really fix the problem.
The keys you are mentioning are only under HKLM did you also change yours there or do you have them under HKCU as well?
Thanks a lot anyway for your help!

Hi shamus,
thank you for your reply! No I do not use a cab I perform the settings manually. There is more to it than entering a APN, here is all I do and how
it is documented in the depths of the german O2 website
modem: CELLULAR LINE GPRS
APN: wap.viaginterkom.de
USER/PASSWORD/DOMAIN: empty
PROXY: 195.182.114.52
HTTP: 195.182.114.52:8080
WAP: 195.182.114.52:9201
SECURE WAP: 195.182.114.52:9203
SOCKS: empty
Only by entering these informations I am surfing on the O2 wap flatrate and
by entering the proxy like this I can surf to http sites as well!!!
And exactly this feature seems to have been taken from me
Well not really as I can enter wsp://... I am still able to surf but using
google and hitting search results gets really anoying cause for every search result I will have to change the url from http to wsp !!!!
So if somebody out there might really have the antidote for my prob I'd
be most happy and if not I´ll consider switching back to Farias rom as this
WM6 stuff is only for evaluation
Thanks for helping!
Hmmm seems it's good lead. When your connection is through proxy server in this case 195.182.114.52 then you have to have all connection setup in "my work network" disable "My ISP" in connections/advanced/select networks by choosing only "My work network" in both fields then setup Proxy server and setup only HTTP proxy remember 8080 port, left all other protocols empty (wap, socks, secure wap). Try if it works, if not than try to setup WAP proxy to 8080 port also. Since browser connects all the time to wap apn in this way you can trick it. Other unusual possibility is your provider stoped to serve http proxy or changed some settings.

Hi shamus,
tried all of your ideas but still it did not resolve this issue! I always choose "My work network" because the ISP does not let me set up the proxy.
My provider still features this service because if I use any of the normal WM5 roms everything works perfectly!
Thanks for helping!
PS: this is really starting to pi** me off

Hey FREIMAURER....we met in another thread......
I had a similar problem...you may have to flash your factory rom just to get your provider network settings. Flash back to your current rom and then use that cab file to set your device up so that your carrier's settings show up in Connections. At this point you can modify the wap address and your proxy settings. This will get you on the internet.
MMS is another beast!
PDAviet3 does not include MMS....you have to install ArcSoft MMS for it to show up on your device. I recommend you install ArcSoft MMS before you install your carrier's settings cab because your carrier settings include MMS configurations but once they are installed...you can not change them. If your MMS works, you're good. If it doesn't, un-install ArcSoft MMS, re-install ArcSoft MMS and manually input your settings.
Sounds like alot of hard work but it's not that bad.

What happened....did everyone give up..?!?!
I flashed the HTC rom on my tilt a few days ago. Everything seems to work fine except that when I open a webpage (using Pocket IE), the 3G icon on the top changes to H. (What is H anyways?)
Other apps that require(?) 3G like Streaming media player and Messaging cannot connect at all. They try to connect to 3G, cycle thru the connection attempt twice and give up. But they work fine if I'm on wifi.
Are there any settings that I'm supposed to put in the Tilt?
I've tried searching on the forums but have been unsuccessful so far. If anyone can help me that would be awesome. Or point out keywords that I should use to search the forum, that would be great too.
Thanks.
Go to 'Settings' 'Connections' 'HSDPA' and uncheck the box.
BTW its High Speed Downlink Packet Access and you may need to subscribe from your carrier network for connection.
Thanks for the lightening fast reply. It got rid of the H icon. But streaming media still doesnt work.
When trying to open a youtube video, for example, it tries to connect to something, but fails eventually. I'll post some screenshots soon.
Do I need to change any settings in windows media player?
What branded phone were you using because you may have removed vital streaming SW required by your carrier.
AT&T Tilt aka Kaiser
I flashed it with the HTC rom from this forum.
Have a look at your programs and see if Flash Player is installed. If not, search the Forum for the cab (its in Dutty's thread in this forum flashlite) and install it. That may solve your problem.
The flash player is installed. As I can view the same streams if I use wifi.
But if I disable wifi, then the webpages open up, but no streaming media opens up.
Also, using Messaging, hotmail is able to download my mails on 3G, but not other accounts (ex. gmail IMAP). But everything works on wifi.
Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but I'm willing to search the forums if someone can point out the keywords to look for. I'm really clueless at this point.
Then look for the AT&T operator settings needed after flashing. If all is working on WiFi then that is definately your problem.
Thanks. I know its a problem on my end. But I don't know where to look for settings. I'm very new to this windows mobile world.
I'll search the forum now for AT&T settings and will get back.
Thanks a lot again for your help!
Damn... not sure where the info is. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

You owe me a beer next time you are in Abu Dhabi.
I just tried the AT&T instructions and it screwed my IE connection. Every page load gave me an error. I reverted back to the original settings.
As for streaming videos, I managed to change the settings to use Media Net and it seems to work.
Still cant figure out how to do that with Messaging.
p.s.... trying the cab you just posted.
Okay, I tried that cab, and it still doesn't let me use any other email account in messaging. Here are the screen shots.
As you can see from the images, Windows Live (hotmail) email downloads just fine. But when I change the email to Gmail from the dropdown, and press Send/Receive, it fails to connect. What are the differences in the connections between the two.
By the way, sorry for the 90 degrees rotated images. It didn't let me upload images with heights more than 280. Weird
p.s. Farsquidge, I still owe you a beer

Wait, explain why you want to get rid of the "H"? H is HSDPA, which is the fastest 3G connection.
G = GPRS (slow)
E = Edge (faster than GPRS, but stil slow)
3G = UMTS (3G, fast)
H = HSDPA (3G+, fastest connection)
Assuming you have HSDPA in your region (which if it showed H means you do), you would normally want HSDPA. It provides speeds greater than 1Mbit/sec.
I've enabled it back. Thanks for the clarification.
Try using the Network settings wizard then do a soft reset to apply them.
Go through the AT&T settings page on the link to see they match and adjust them accordingly if not.
Then you will most likey have to go to the other setup pages on AT&T's site for email and MMS setup as you have lost all with the flash.
I tried the Network settings wizard. Didn't change anything.
Tried the AT&T settings page. It screwed up even more and I couldnt even browse web pages. So I reverted back to original settings.
I've managed to fix the streaming media player by making it use Media Net. As for Messaging, I'll have to look into AT&Ts setting for MMS. Will keep you guys posted.
p.s. You guys are amazing. Thanks for all the help!
If you look, a new version of Network settings wizard has been posted to this forum today.
Aah.. thanks, I found it. I'll try that in the evening when I get home and let you know.
I need access to a direct ftp port with the http://65988.0023.XXX style connection but I can't get access to it unless I am using WIFI? what setting can I change to stop this?
try disabling the proxy settings, sometimes bypassing your networks proxy settings will open up all sorts of options you where once blocked from accessing
how would I go about that? I didn't know I was behind proxy settings? And do I need them to access medianet?
in your connection settings go to manage existing connection, select proxy settings and untick the box that says this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet and leave the box ticked that says this network connects tothe internet.
Ive disables my proxy settings for t-mobile Uk internet settings and now it connects alot faster and pages seem to be loading faster also
doesn't work... Darn this sux... I test it with www.msn.com and it still makes it pull up msn.mobile... how annyoing...
bump anyone have anything on this?
I would really appreciate help with this because I have to access a program that I can't otherwise.
If you're looking to hit an FTP site, then I'd grab an FTP client for WM and stop futzing with IE in the first place. Or am I misunderstanding what you're doing?
not it is not an ftp it is an http://112.2232.224:2324 type of site... that is all.
Don't know your carrier but here's a cab that disables the "hidden" proxy in AT&T and one that restores it. Worth a try?

YEAAAAAAAAAAA I don't know what happened... but since I installed your thing it works perfect. damn I was getting peaved... when I go to msn.com thought it still brings up msn.mobile though. Well at least I can go to anywebsite I want now.
Do I ever need to put the proxies back? I guess I should just put this on my card just in case.
Again, Thanks... What else am I able to do now?
In the Tilt, Internet Explorer's user agent string is locked to mobile internet, meaning that websites will see your device as a mobile device. If the site has a mobile site, it will automatically re-direct you to that. In WM5 devices, you could use software to change IE's user agent string to make it look like a desktop, but on the Tilt, you can't.
You'll need to get Opera Mobile if you want the internet to see your phone as a desktop.
I think for what your trying to do you need to use the MY ISP settings instead of medianet settings. But I don't know what they are anymore. I think you will also need the right data plan to use them.
does PIEPlus User Agent setting work with Tilt?

Is this true even if using PIEPlus? PIEPlus Tools>Options Plus>User Agent allows setting User Agent to IE 5.5 or IE 6.0 (which should be seen by websites as a regular computer) in addition to the default PIE setting (which is seen as mobile)

what is pie plus. First off, I tried using opera mobile desktop setting and when I went to www.msn.com it still comes up as mobile. Do I have to configure something further?
Lastly, I just told you all that the program for turning off the hidden proxies worked. So for what I was trying to do those programs the other person posted worked nicely. However, it still sucks that I can't bypass the mobile crap... There is a program called deepfish from microsoft that addresses the issue exactly, however the jerks won't let the beta out any further. I am gonna aaddress that issue in another post.
I believe the problem is something in the WM6 or the Tilt itself because Opera doesn't work either.
Boy I'm glad you guys worked on this. I upgraded to Tilt yesterday and was cracking my head against the wall trying to figure out why the HTTP addresses wouldn't resolve with the same settings I've been using in my 8525. @#$%#@ Hidden Proxy! lol
Cheers and Happy New Year!

I just upgraded my Tilt to Dutty's wm6.1, and I was wondering if there is something that I can do to make it so I can purchase things from MEdia Mall from AT&T. There are a couple of things that I need to get from there, and now it won't let me...says "we're sorry, your device is not supported for purchases on the MEdia Mall".
I know on Motorola phones you can add the Cingular certs to a folder (at least in the older p2k phones), which re-enables access to purchasing. Is there something like this that we can do to Tilts with an upgrade ROM? A cab we can install or a registry edit? I'm assuming we just need to do something that AT&T sees it as a Tilt and not an unknown phone.
I searched, but didn't see anything on this subject.
i've been looking for the same thing. I'll see if i could point you in the right direction. I remember reading something a while back about RestoreProxy and Disable Proxy.. maybe you want to restore the proxy to get it to work. Do a search in google because the search feature in this forum never find anything for some reason. Google. Restore Proxy Kaiser in google you should find someting
Well, you have to go through the proxy to even connect to the MediaNet homepage.
My sig! Look at it .
There is also an option in KaiserTweak to change how your device identifies itself to websites. Try changing the setting to AT&T Tilt. Combine that with the AT&T hidden proxy, and you should be good to go.

Hi All,
I was told by an AT&T guy that you could change the opera config file to make opera on the Fuze act a fully functional browser. The problem I am having is the opera will take to me to the mobile version of websites and I don't want that. I have tried changing the user agent to 2 and 3, but that didn't correct the problem. Does anyone know what has to be changed to make this work?
thanks
billf.
A couple of other things to do in the opera:config page. First, you want to change the "Custom User-Agent" in "user prefs" to "Mozilla/4.0(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 6.0;en)" (although I've also heard that just deleting that string works, too, but I haven't tried it).
The other thing is to delete the HTTP and HTTPS server names in the "Proxy" section.
These changes will get you to the normal version of most sites (although there are some sites that still redirect to wap/mobile versions -- I don't use any of these on a regular basis, but nba.com is one such).
You can upgrade to build 2745
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442252&highlight=opera+2745&page=15
I followed all of the tips and some of the sites still wouldn't go, no matter what changes I made. I followed owziee's directions in the link above exactly and upgraded to the 2745 build that herg posted in that same thread. Works perfectly and I can now go to desktop sites. You do have to make the additional changes, can't just run the cab or it doesn't fit vga and zoom properly, but with my low to intermediate skills it wasn't a problem to do.
I can't stand this Opera Mobile. Web pages are constantly changing size on my, and I can't zoom in or out. Is there any way to change the default browser to IE? IE works much better for me.
i didnt like opera at first but its actually way better then PIE. go to the opera settings and there is a button that says "mobile view" uncheck it and all websites are not in mobile view.
also. im sure u know. but for zooming u can run your finger in a circle clockwise or counterclockwise on the button to make it zoom in or out...or u can double tap the touch screen for it to zoom in.
all you gotta do is add to the end of your web address is "index.html". ex. espn.com/index.html
Works perfectly
You have to disable your proxy for your data connection or it will go to the mobile version as well. That is in connection settings. Uncheck the box that says this connection uses a proxy. I was getting all mobile sites until I did that.
waste of time
screw all that programming - just install skyfire and set it as your default browser through itself and if that doesnt work, install total commander and change the internet file - google it and you'll find simple instructions
Hi,
Here's the link to the Opera Mobile thread; have a look at the last 25 or so posts in the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486502
In a nutshell, stock ROM's receive many post-configuration changes via .PROVXML; this means that the experience of applications are changed by the carrier to suit their requirements.
There are a few adjustments that are required in order to achive the experience you're after ... the link will help you achieve your desired configuration and saves me repeating all the same info here.
