Hey Guys,
I am pretty much all set up. Thanks to all the help and information i was able to Flash it to Helimis Big Storage Dynamic version, added some programs. All works great. Only outstanding items:
E-mail -When i set up gmail pop connection it doesnt seem to connect to gather the messaages on 3g/Edge serivce. However, i did a test and turned on the wireless connection in the comm manager. As soon as i have done this Gmail POP3 works like a charm. As soon as i disconnect the problem persists. I have 39.99 3g data plan. Should the mail work through this data plan? or do i need to always switch to wireless in order to recieve mail? (HIGHly doubt it)
GPS- I have yet to put tomtom on, but i tried my google maps. It "worked" great at one point, I ran Quick GPS and it was able to triangulate my location (get a lock signal -7-8 satelaties), but now it doesnt work. I know i read somewhere not to mess with external GPS, but i switched to COM port 2 but i never un-checked the "auto-config GPS". Do you know what could be causing it not lock in onto my location now. I think it actually did work after i changed to COM2.
COMmanager - i updated my comm manager to duttythroy 10 button version. It has a 3g button to disable it since it drains a lot of battery power. However, how do i disable the GPRS/EDGE doesnt it drain power as well? i see in the Kaiser section there is also duttythroy_data_disconnection+_hspda-switch.cab (what will this exactly doo?)
Thanks all.
Other than these my TILT is amazing.. loving it.. Thanks to everyone who posted and helped.

e-mail: Does web browsing work? If so, then you might have a server setup problem. If not, call AT&T's support and ask for the PDA help group.
GPS: In my case the GPS is COM4: and 4800 baud. You can set this in "Start", "Settings", "External GPS", then let Google use the "Use Windows Settings" checkbox.
COMmanager: Use Bandswitch instead. Works much better. Latest is 2.4.2, and much be purchased, but worth every penny. (30 day trial I think tho)

GPS: - do you put this under Program or Hardware tab? Or do i put com 4 port in both places
E-mail - internet works.. So i guess Server setup problem?
COMmanager- I just took a quick glance at Bandswitch. It seems that it can do everything that ComManager + Kaiser Tweak (kaiser can set time to termination of data connection. My question is.. in the com manager- you can terminate 3g, but GPRS turns on.. does GPRS drain battery? should there be another button to turn off GPRS too?
contact importer
Also anyone know whats a good contact importer. I have a CSV file with 138 entries similar to this one.

Thanks for the advice it already has rescent in it. It works when i turn on wifi, so all settings are correct. It simply doesnt work with 3G (and wifi off).
Any ideas on contact importer?

I would love to know the answer to that one. I can only get Opera to run if I click the Java link, then copy/paste my links over. Quite tedious.
I would also like a 1-click way to start Opera....

Opera issues
Hey guys, i dont know what happened, but now all the sudden when i use Opera EVERY link i click on i end up loosing Medianet connection and it trys to re-establish it. It ultimatelly suceeds and loads the page... but this does not happen with Internet Explorer (everything works fine there). I also have KaiserTweak set to disconnect internet after 1 min of inactive use.. but its definatelly not that.. since i am active during my "test" browsing period. (which i did)
Any ideas.. i mean ITS Extremelly SLOW (sometimes 4 attempts to re-establish connection) and annoying.. It is also weird that it does actually make the 3g connection but then it breaks for no reason (tested in various locations)
Thanks for previous help - all those problems been solved - Except linking opera to all links (i click on) -> I am reading the trade posted in this thread about it.
- Question though.. i dont need to place a link into windows folder i guess since when i click explorer softkey it automatically opens Java Midlet. Or do i still need to perform that step?

I'm not sure whats causing your disconnect i never have that issue...but about your question...with the opera shortcut in your start menu it skips the step of opening your midlet manager then clicking on opera...then when you put that selector file in your windows folder its never asks for permission to remember your session and whatnot...it just goes straight to the home page in opera...

I can't figure out why PocketIE isn't loading up pages while in WiFi Connection.. i could only load up pages from BBConnect, WiFi doesn't seem to be loading up at all :S.
It wouldn't do much. It would only show the status bar up, says loading 0KB and disappear.
Is there a setting mistake I made?
E-Mail seem to work fine, it's just PocketIE that's not working.
Did you put the PIE cache to your storage card? If yes, this is your problem.

Well, I don't know what I did anymore, but I reinstalled everything. Seems to work fine for now.
After being prompted with
"The internet connection is currently in use by the Blackberry browser. Would you like to temporarily disable BlackBerry browsing?"
[yes'> [no'>
I went to restart my device (TyTN II, running clean ROM, factory default) because an installer wanted me to. I wasn't sure which option it chose, but it seems like it's on NO (since it has this thicker black border than YES).
After I booted back on, I can't browse the web using PocketIE any longer. It would show up the progress bar for a split second, but nothing actually loads.
Anyone with a possible idea/solution?
I am having this same problem. What setup are you all running. I have the junk free ATT rom with HSPDA enabled.

Thanks to Sems, of www.sems.org, he provided me with a solution!
Simply disable the proxy in IE or use Blackberry Browser link.
It is in the same post of your last comment:
""You can modify the registry key 'EnableAutoDetect' key found in the registry location:
[hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\curre ntversion\internet settings'>
The default setting (that uses the proxy) is:
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000000
(To disable proxy) Change it to:
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000001
The best option is to delete the registry key (which I did) since some posts indicate this registry option gets set to 0 after a reset."

THANKS SEMS!
I am having a problem with logmein from my phone.
a bit of a background.
I'm loggin into a Windows XP machine.
I have the logmein free account.
I can use a PC and it logs me in just fine.
It works on my account from my friends Sprint Mogul PPC just fine with WM6 and ractre cab
No matter what ROM on my Kaiser, it gets the same error
No matter what browser I use on my Kaiser, it gets the same error.
The problem. I have the cab installed already that I DLd from logmein.com. I go to logmein.com and type in my login info/pass. I click "logmein".
about 1 in (5-50) times it will then take me to the screen where I can select my computer. The other 4-49 times, it takes me back to the login screen where you enter your login info. There arent any error messages or anything. I then click "back" in PIE and hit the submit button again. repeat this a ton of times until it logs me in.
The next screen is where you select your computer. The same thing happens here, and it will bring me to the login screen. Click back and submit again and million times and eventually it will work.
Once I get to the screen where you can click "Remote control" this works fine.
I've asked on logmeins forums and no responses. I emailed their tech support and no responses.
I dont know what to do at this point except move to different software.
any ideas?
I assumed you did a serach for Logmein?

Yes. and I assume you read the part where i've already installed that?
it works for me after....
running the disable cingular proxy cab.
I used to get the exact issue you have on my Tilt. Here's what I've found to work.
Run the disable Cingular Proxy cab (search around, its everywhere in these forums) PRIOR to entering your username/pass.
If i have done this, it will go the 1st and every time to the my computers list and then i can RC from there.
If i forget to run it and i hit "the loop", you can leave IE running and run the cab from a file explorer, then switch back to IE and try again.
Annoying, i know...this coupled with the need to use IE rather than Opera Mini are definite cons to using Logmein on WinMo, but I still need to almost everyday.
Let me know if you can't get this solution to work for you.
I tried that and it didnt work.
Downloaded disable cingular proxy cab.
rebooted.
ran disable cing proxy cab
ran PIE
went to logmein.com
logged in (that part went fine)
clicked on computer.
it took me to login page.
rebooted
ran pie
ran disable cing proxy cab
went to logmein
tried loggin in.
looped =/
Nobody has a good answer for this that I have been able to find. You can try loggin in on LogMeIn's PDA site, https://secure.logmein.com/pda That stopped the endless log in loop problem for me, and I can get to my computer groups. However, I can't remotely control anything. I click the computer I want, enter the password, and it brings up a screen with whatever options that computer has (just Remote Control for LogMeIn Free, Remote Control and File Manager for LogMeIn Pro.) You click Remote Control, and it doesn't do anything, just brings you right back to the same screen. File Manger DOES work on the computer I have LogMeIn Pro on, but I really need the Remote Control. It is maddening, nobody at LogMeIn or any other phone forums seems to know why this is happening. I never had the proxy setup to begin with, everybody keeps talking about proxies like that's the problem, but disabling the proxies doesn't solve the problem for a huge number of folks. I've been able to find solutions to all my other Tilt problems with a little diligent googling, but not this one. I'd love an answer myself!
sorry...
sorry guys..
I have tried almost every kaiser rom here, and at least half of the wizard ones when i had that and the logmein has been a thorn in my side as well, except for me the toggle of disable/enable proxies works every time.
I wish you both luck in your searches for a more universal answer to this problem.
the real key is a fully supported solution from logmein...
Are you using PIE Plus or another multi tab browsing utility? The happens to me with PIE Plus, but only if I select Pocket View in the view settings.
i gots it 2 work!
i am using
Kaiser/TILT
w/ Duttys DualTouch V3 Final(WM6)
AT&T Service
@ 1st logmein wouldnt work
but i was trying to use it w/ Opera
it only works w/ internet explorer.
people said it does not work w/ WM6
that is false.
it looped continuously w/ that loggin crap until
i did the following.
TO GET IT TO WORK:
uninstall RACtrlCE.cab if already installed.
clear IE cookies.
soft reset
download the RACtrlCE
on your PC via
this link:

the cab is in the above post link scroll to find it.
transfer the cab via
exchange connection.
install cab on your phone.
then soft reset.
go to www.logmein.com
which should automatically redirect
you to https://secure.logmein.com/pda.
log in and u should b in business!
Okay, I post a question in this thread & what happens????
Now everytime I log into Logmein.com I connect fine but about every five minutes I lose the connection & get an "Invalid IP Address" error. Anyone have this problem? I tried adding my own IP but then I can't connect period. Anyone know a fix?

Followed these exact steps. still loops for me X 1000
I tried installing to device, then my storage card, repeating all steps.
The odd thing is that I downloaded minimozilla (mobile firefox) and it logs in JUST FINE) but of course stops at the point where it would show you the desktop. but has ZERO issues loggin in.
*SIGH*
Anyword on a fix for Mismatched IP Address error?
i dont have anything on the mismatched ip thing.
I did manage to solve my problem on my own.
So anyone else still having this problem:
start|settings|connections|connections|Advanced Tab|Select Networks
In the top drop down, select the tab for the internet that you use (Medianet, etc)
Click edit.
Bottom tab click proxy settings.
Uncheck "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
Click ok.
The cab that is supposed to do this didnt work for me. but doing this manually works for me.
Working perfect on Blackstone with the cab downloaded from logmein.com with Internet explorer.Not working in Opera.
My steps:Opened https://secure.logmein.com/pda from IE, logged in to my account,then when i pressed connect logmein forced me download THEIR RACtrice .cab ,installed,restarted IE,and i'm in bussiness.
Essential processes for AT&T Tilt Users after each rom flash
I know this has been mentioned thousands of times throughout this forum yet n00bs often need assistance fixing their hardware keyboards, email, HTC weather, quick gps, and so on after they flash a new rom for the first time.
While hanging out in Bansville for a couple of days I realized I have been answering the same questions continuously. This is a mini text tutorial, which offers simple fixes for imperative AT&T settings.
So you installed a version of hardspl, flashed a new rom, and performed a hard reset. What next? Well primarily in all probability, you want to make sure the clock settings are in am and pm format and the date is set to m/d/y. To change your clock settings follow this navigation
Start>settings>system>regional settings>time tab>time style drop down set to h:mm:ss tt
To change your date setting:
Start>settings>system>regional setting>date tab> select the date style of your choosing and select ok.
Next, I like to restore my files such as my appointments, contacts, text messages, etc. I personally prefer to use PimBackup. Below is a .zip file for PPCPimBackup. It is an uncomplicated program to use and a lecture is unnecessary to navigate throughout this application, as it is straightforward.
After I restore my files, it is time to inaugurate the Tilt keyboard fix, which repairs your slide-out QWERTY keys to be mapped correctly. For example, without this fix Fn+W will appear as ! opposed to @. Below is the cab file you need to install to remap the keys appropriately. Following the installation of this cab file, perform a soft reset.
The next thing I usually do is correct my connection settings. First, I install ATT_Settings.cab, which you can find below. Then I navigate to the following:
Start>settings>connections>connections>select the advanced tab>select networks>Change both drop downs to Media Net> select edit on both drop downs>proxy settings tab>uncheck everything for both media nets that you changed>then hit ok or x when you are finished.
At this time, I set up my email. However, remember NOT to save your password, you will do this in the following step. If you are using HTC HOME, most likely you are, select the little envelope and create a new account. You can find your email settings by using google if you are using pop3 or whatever.
Next, after I set up my email without saving the password, I install removehiddenproxy.cab, which you can find below. This cab file is important as it allows your pop3 email account’s password to save without adding extra characters, allows for your quickgps to function properly each time, and it also allows you to use HTC Home Weather without getting a connection failure. So install this cab then go back to the email you just set up, edit the account setup, enter your password, and save it. Now, go back to your today screen and tap your weather tab. Now tap Select City and select your city (*Note there are a few patches available to select your town if you do not live in a big city). Anyhow, notice the menu button where your right softkey is, select menu and turn your temperature scale to Fahrenheit and select done.
I suggest setting up your WiFi at this time too.
Well this is my mini tutorial for a basic setup on your AT&T Tilt after you flash a new rom.
Have Fun Flashing and Take Care.
*Special thanks to the creators of these cab files and JimmyMcgee for teaching me the basics.
Am I missing something too?
Is there something to do regarding getting a reasonable GPS fix after flashing newer 6.1 roms or is it a known problem. I keep flashing down to older 6.0 roms with 1.27.14.09 radio because of the faster GPS fix. I would love to use the newer roms but GPS fix time is a deal breaker for me. To save you some time I use SPL 3.28 with 6.0 roms and 3.56 with 6.1 roms. I bounce between Q-mobile and RomEos roms now that we lost dutty. Ive tried all the newer radios and personally they all stink for GPS. Sorry about your brief ban and welcome back, I need your wisdom
*cough* sticky
AWESOME. I keep saying I need to: Start fresh, get NetCF 3.5, get a light rom. But it all seems so complicated to go from current configuration to start over completely, but this will help a lot! Thanks! Now to find the time and the 'right' ROM.
Thanks very much for the reminders, and for the CABs. I flashed my first 6.1 ROM last night, and forgot all about the hidden proxy!
I agree that this really needs to be a sticky...
This is a good tutorial, but here is a good side note to add.
By removing the hidden proxy (which ya do with the removehiddenproxy cab), Tilt users won't be able to get to media net (http://device.home or http://home) or cingular video as the hidden proxy is needed for those.
Then they should just use the Restore Proxy, and that will allow MEdiaNet.
Proxy Manager has both in it.

Been having the same issue and finally I think got a break. Tried about 10 SR's and the lock times are steady inside the house.
BTW using DK2
does windows mobile have a localhost file like windows? would remapping those to their needed servers allow the bypassing of the proxy?

I deserved the brief ban.
Anyhow, I noticed that when running 6.1 roms with the Tilt you need an application such as HTC GPS Tool or GPS Test, to open your internal gps, prior to opening your GPS Software.
These are the steps I use to utilize a GPS Fix after each soft reset:
1) download latest updates for quickgps
2) Open GPS Tool>com 4>baud 4800>Hot Start>Then click Open and wait like 30 seconds
3) Open TT7
*If you fail to get a fix after following these steps close all programs and repeat. Eventually you should be getting fixes within seconds.
I've attached GPS Tool for you, good luck.
What exactly does the remove hidden proxy cab do on AT&T Tilts? If you go into your connection settings and uncheck the proxy server- is that the same thing or something different than the cab file does?
Hey Red,
I attached an ATT settings cab which does not enable the proxy by default, and also enableds creation mode in MMS settings. I thought it might be helpful for your thread here. Also, it may seem too advanced for beginners, but i have a thread started here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418468
This has a step by step guide to how to create an xml file using Schap's Advanced Config 3.0, which can be used to provision all of your advanced config preferences during your UC setup. This tool has really made it very easy to do reduce the amount of work that goes into flashing.
I also attached a cab for total commander, a free, more full featured file explorer; gps test, another gps tool; and advanced config 3.0. Hope it helps.
Thanks... this is a great thread!!!

It removes a HIDDEN proxy, one that you can't remove without a cab. Without it enabled you can't connect to medianet home, and some other things. Most users like to disable it for a myriad of reasons, one of which is that it causes you to be unable to browse while connected to your laptop.
The box that you check in connections is a separate issue, and i think that is actually just old settings, i'm not sure, since even on the AT&T website it tells you no not to have that checked.

Awesome. So, if I run the cab and remove the hidden proxy- can I then tether my laptop (connect to the net using the Tilt's data)- without getting caught by AT&T? Or is there more to tethering without getting caught?
I have a local file server accessble via wifi (or should be) its "\\server"
WHEN Wifi is on and connected and I put that in File Manager "\\server", it says cant connect, but if I put that in PIE it goes there.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get this to work? It used to work in WM6.0.
You should try Resco File Explorer; a LOT better for that purpose. I have been in a similar situation in mapping the drive and it works flawlessly. There's a 15 day trial to check it out; think you'll be pretty impressed.
Try "\\servername\sharename"...
try to access a particular share instead of getting the shares list by using the "\\servername" convention...
try something like "\\servername\sharename" and see what happens...
alternately, i highly recommend schap's rip of the HTC Network Plugin v1.0 Build 30468...it will make the steps of accessing commonly used local shares a whole lot easier by allowing you to map the drive into the "\Network" folder on your device...see 4th post in this thread:

I dont want to buy Resco, but it does work nicely.
\\servername\sharename fails as well and \\servername\sharename\ etc..
I will try the plugin and see. (Update) I instlled it and cant find it anywhere.. How do I "use" it?
Thanks!

try to access a particular share instead of getting the shares list by using the "\\servername" convention...
try something like "\\servername\sharename" and see what happens...
alternately, i highly recommend schap's rip of the HTC Network Plugin v1.0 Build 30468...it will make the steps of accessing commonly used local shares a whole lot easier by allowing you to map the drive into the "\Network" folder on your device...see 4th post in this thread:

Total Commander is free and does this well.
It also has a registry editor, text editor.
Did I mention it is free.
Another thing to check...
maybe your wifi connection is set up in "Internet" mode as opposed to "Work" mode...might explain why it works via PIE...
i think i remember experiencing total failures accessing local shares if my wifi connection was set up as "Internet"
on Settings->Connections->Wifi, edit the particular wifi connection you use and on the first page in the second combo box labeled "Connects to:", make sure the value is "Work"
give that a shot and let us know!!!
That was it!! Thanks! Odd setting really.

woohoo!!! i'm a noob WinMo user as of May 2008 with my Tytn2...coming from 5 years of using something from motorolla that was equivalent to a nokia 3310...totally basic PHONE in the truest sense...no color screen, no camera, big and clunky, pathetic interface...useful ONLY for voice and sms
but my point is that coming from decades of using Windows, somehow WinMo makes sense in a microsoft kind of way with all its occassionally cryptic features and inexplicable odd behaviors...i'm a geek and i'm lovin' it
before this thread is closed, the network plugin is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...i used to use resco for mapping drives but found its behavior to be erratic when my wifi signal was weak...sometimes taking ages to try to open a share just before the wifi icon would show that the connection had dropped
network plugin, IMHO, seems to work a bit better...YMMV

check in Settings->Connections->Network Plugin
while resco's network drive mapping configuration is accessible only from within resco (even though the shares resco mounts are accessible system-wide in any application whether resco is running or not), the network plugin gives a better "integrated" feeling with WinMo even though it is not much different from resco's capabilities
Got the HTC network plugin working. Now I have 2 ways to access the share.
Hello guys n gals,
I have been searching for an answer to this (google, many times)
I cannot get my ATT Tilit w/6.1 to act as an internet connection for my Laptop.
I disable Activesync, go into the Wmodem program, tell it to start, and my computer sees it as a Palm Treo Modem I have to dial out on. According to the program description, I should be able to use the Phone to just "share" its connection. Is this an issue with 6.1? Is there someting I have to enable that wonderful ATT does not allow me to use?
I thank you all in advance for your help. Like I said i have googled a few times and nothing comes up that helps me. They all point to a program called Internet Sharing, which i dont seem to have on my tilt. I suspect this is done intentionally by ATT but hey, I gotta ask first. Help????????
Google is indeed my friend!!! LMAO!! its 4 am here in NYC and I finally found it. Now forget everything I said above!! I just have to figure out how to pin it to my programs menu or start menu! for that i am asking for your help. I am too tired to do anyore googling tonight, err, today, or whatever it is now.

It's there. The file you are looking for is entitled "intshrui.exe". It is located in the \Windows\ directory of your device. You may need to enable "view all files" for it to be visible. Once it is visible, tap and hold on it. Select copy, and then browse to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and tap and hold a blank space. Select "Paste Shortcut". After the shortcut is created, tap and hold on it, and rename it to "Internet Connection Sharing", or whatever you so desire. This is the application you will be using to enable ICS between your desktop computer, and telephone. Be sure to use wap.medianet as the access point. isp.cingular will not work if you are only on a Media Net plan. (if you have a dedicated tethering plan, it is fine to use isp.cingular if you so desire).
I don't have the ATT stock ROM on my phone any longer, but in the WModem application, there is a options menu. There is a item labeled "Configure" IIRC. Select this option, and uncheck, "Choose an access point automatically". Change isp.cingular to read wap.cingular, and save it. Restart your device. You should now be able to use your PDA as an internet gateway. Be sure you have installed either ActiveSync or WMDC on your computer. And the awnser to your inquiry regarding ATT doint it on purpose is "Yes". The phone is fully capable of tethering, but ATT wants to charge you $60/mo for the ability to use technology that already exists in your phone.
Other files of interest:
HSDPASwitch.exe
FieldTest.exe
CSDType.exe
Yep, At&t doesn't add the shorcut to ICS on their roms, its in the windows folder.
Also a not of caution, its suggested that you remove the proxy from medianet while you tether. There's stories of people getting caught tethering without the tethering plan and ending up being charged per kb on their bill (leading to a phone bill around and above $1000!).
I always make sure i've disabled the proxy, actually only time its on is to use cellular video, and I've been tethering without the tethering plan for as along as i can remember and never been charged per kb on my bill.
To disable the proxy look for a cab named removehiddenproxy and then go to start settings, connections tab on the bottom, then connections icon. advanced tab on bottom, select networks, tap edit under the first drop down box (MEdia Net should be selected) then proxy settings tab on bottom, and uncheck the second box "This network uses a proxy server to cnnect to the Internet"

Thanks guys for the info, now is it best to search for this cab via active sync on my PC because i don't know where to find the search program on the Kaiser to just search for the cabs and find the "removehiddenproxy" cab......I will find it this way........thanks again for the help....both of you. This beats staying in Hotels and paying for their internet connection!!
