Skyfire issue

When I load it up, skyfire forces my phone to "connect" to the internet, even though it is already connected, then skyfire can't connect and it gives me some error about not having internet connectivity. I "believe" this is due to like proxies or something on the phone? Can someone point me in the right direction please?

ok, so i found the cabs...but it doesn't make a difference. Why can't this software just auto detect that the connection exists already..........ugh! I really want to try this.

The proxy makes no difference it is built into the software. My first beta connected to My ISP even though MediaNet was main connection with no problems. The latest release 0.6 has an issue when you have something other than My ISP as main connection it will not connect. I have e-mailed them long ago on the issue and am waiting a reply. **even if My ISP IS connected, but not the main connection it still won't work, the connection HAS to be My ISP** Kind of annoying having to change it from MediaNet to get my Cingular Video and MediaNet homepage to My ISP when I want to use Skyfire, hopefully they will fix it in a new release.

Connection doesnt have to be MY ISP. Mine goes through MediaNet and works fine. I did have to turn off the proxy to get it to connect. Also for the guy having trouble with the Cab. If you didnt sign up for the beta it wont work. The program is connected to your phone number and when you go to authenticate to the server you get denied if you dont have an account. Gd Luck

Palringo Setup help

Well I have all but given up on gettin Palringo to connect on my TP from Alltel.
I have heard of a lot of issues using this program on the TP. When I try and connect its an endless loop of trying to connect with no timeout.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I guess noone uses this anymore?

I use palringo but i don't have any troubles signing in, perhaps there is some issue with the proxy. Have you tried connecting to the internet with another program before/while you're trying to sign into palringo? I'm not sure it will initiate an internet connection, and i have a constant internet connection due to my exchange server, and other push email

I havent had any issues connecting with Palringo... but have a setup similar to previous poster... Email running keeping data connection alive.

It seems to be an ongoing Alltel/Palringo problem. None of the MSM75XX devices will connect to Palringo using the Alltel Data connection, they will connect with WiFi or Activesync which leads to beleive that its an Alltel problem, However the J2ME version of Palringo will connect just fine using Alltel Data connection.

Yeah, been using Palringo for sometime now and have no problems like that.

Ill have to try the J2ME version see if that will resolve the issue even with the active data connection I get no connection.

Third Party Programs on Kaiser Unable to Connect to Servers

Hopefully someone can give me some advice on this issue.
I have Windows Mobile 6.0 for my HTC TYTN II.
I have no problem accessing the internet through my phone connection or my wifi. Most programs that connect to the internet i.e. youtubeplay, opera, coreplayer, all work perfectly.
However, certain programs that I have that connect to a server i.e., zsIRC and Real Dice Poker, are unable to connect.
Not too long ago, I had no issue connecting with these programs. But suddenly, they cannot establish a connection.
Any solutions or possible words of wisdom? Thanks.

That sounds like a proxy problem;
Start>Settings>Connections>Tasks turn off proxies.

Hi WillardZ,
I can confirm that I have no proxies turned on in the connections section.
Is it possible that this information can be stored elsewhere?

open internet explorer and pull up a site (making sure the phone gets a data connection) leave PIE open and then try your IRC client (or whatever else).

Hi Chumley,
This still didn't work. I got the error message in the IRC client "unable to connect (10061)".
Is there a possibility that the phone has a firewall active somewhere?

IS it just the IRC app or others as well? Try Fring

It's any app that requires connection to a server i.e. IRC or multiplayer online games.

andFTP problem...

Hi all, I have a strange problem and wondered if anyone could think why it won't work.
I am trying to get access to my work FTP server via andFTP. Now it works fine on my home WiFi (so not an internal external issue) but can't get it to work over the 3G. Does anyone have any idea why this may be or am I just best off trying a different client?

If it doesn't work on 3G, then it's because you haven't forwarded your FTP port in your router. When your phone is connected through 3G, it is outside your local network.
And then you also need to know your "outside" IP address. (Google my IP)
And then thats the IP you need to connect to in andFTP.

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify though it is definately working externally as I can access my works FTP server fine from my home via wifi, even though they are on completely different networks so I know the routing and forwarding etc. is correct from the FTP server end. I just cant work out why it wont connect over 3G.

Can you login to your FTP from work? Or just outside your own network?
It is not the same that you can connect to an outside FTP, that it is to connect from the outside to your internal FTP.
You need to forward port 21 in your router to your FTP server's IP address. Otherwise it wont work.

I can log-in internally when connected to WiFi, I can log-in externally when connected to WiFi, I can't log-in via 3G at all (SocketException). I may well try another FTP client, any recommendations.

So if you connect to a WiFi that isn't your own, you can still log in?
If that is so, then I guess they might have blocked FTP transfers over your 3G network.
It works on mine, thats why it sounds wierd to me, and the only difference is more or less the mobile company.

spot on... after trying a new FTP client and that not working I have done a bit of digging on the web and it seem's t-mob uk block FTP transfers. Anyone else on the same provider confirm this?

That sucks
Try to call t-mobile and ask them if this is just a bug, or if it was intended.

tell me about it! Gonna give them a ring when I get five minutes although I can imagine the call now...
Me: Hello, I cant seem to access FTP via my mobile internet.
T-Mob: Whats FTP???
Me: Could you please open Port 21 so I can access my work files.
T-Mob: No, but did you hear about the great new services you are entitled to for just £xx a month...

FYI, I can ftp my home ftp server no problems over T mobile network using AndFTP.
It could well be how they have you set up, and what package you are signed up for, If you got a G2 from tmobile, I was told there is a specific set they have for you if you have a G2

thanks for the info Higgsy...
As an update to this I have just gotten off the phone to T-Mobile CS and have to say they were very helpful. Although the guy was unsure at first why it wan't letting me get through to FTP he suspected it could be due to not having 'web n walk plus' (£7.50 per month instead of £5). Due to a long wait he added this to my account free of charge.
The problem hasn't gone away yet but he did say it could take up to 24 hours to go through.
Will keep this post updated and let you know if it gets sorted.

I thought it might be that, I used to get this issue trying to access certain things on my old e71 when I had standard web and walk set up. I was actually told by a tech support guy, who was also very helpful that the G1/G2 needed a specific web and walk/account set up.

a quick update to this and 24 hours on unfortunately the upgrade to w+w plus doesnt seem to have fixed things, have decided to give this a miss now and wait for something like a dropbox app to come along.
On the plus side I yet again mentioned my poor internet speed (was averaging around 300-350kbps) so he had a look at the account. Despite being told on several occasion before there was no issue he had a look at the profile assigned to the account and found that, surprise-surprise, I was being throttled at 3g speeds. A few minutes and a phone reset later I am getting speeds in excess of 1500kbps! Hurrah!

I'm not sure what AndFTP's default is, but maybe you want to check that you are using passive mode (it's in the Advanced tab).
