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?
Here, try this.

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.

Has anyone been able to get onto AT&T's (Cingular's) Streaming video site with their unlocked TyTN II here in the States?
http://cingularvideo.cingular.com/
It does not detect the phone as a 3D phone, or so it says.
I had no problems getting to the http://device.home/ page though.
I just get a blank, white screen.
doesn't work for me either... Same error. Not a 3G phone.

isn't there a reg hack where you trick the the CV side into thinking you have a Samsung Blackjack, which is a supported device?
This link has a 8525.cab that allows you to get technical difficulties (for me at least, i don't have wireless.cingular.com:80 set as proxy)

I dont remember the exact change (been a while) but yeah look in the Hermes forum....also you will find MANY threads so look for the newer ones as ATT and WM6 went through stages of what works for this. It is a PIE issue.
Read into the first dozen posts or so:

I got it too work, no problem. Below are my instructions.
TyTN II Users
Here are the instructions for access MediaNet and Cingular Video, or just about any at&t/Cingular link just like on the Tilt.
It’s really simple to access MediaNet. Even on at&t branded phones you have to switch from My ISP to MediaNet so you can access the MN home page or Cingular video. Here is how you do it.
Go to START, SETTINGS and select CONNECTIONS.
In the connections, select CONNECTIONS Icon.
At the bottom, select ADVANCED tab.
You will see a SELECT NETWORKS option.
Under Network Management, change the first option for MY ISP to MEDIANET.
Now click ok and reselect TASK (bottom left tab). Now your Connections now say MediaNet with a proxy option below it. We need to verify the proxy info is correct.
Select edit my proxy server, then select Advanced. You will see a window with server/proxy info. The first one is HTTP. It should have the following (wireless.cingular.com:80). If it doesn’t, select HTTP and enter the info. Now check SOCKS. It should have (LOCALHOST:1080). Again, enter it if needed.
Now you’re done. You only had to do this one time. When you done with MediaNet, all you do is switch back to MY ISP for normal surfing.
Before you continue, you have to make a change in your registry so that the proxy knows your phone as a branded phone. I choose the Tilt for this.
If you know how to use a registry editor, then look for this entry on you phone.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]
"CustomBase"="HTC_TyTN_II Mozilla/4.0"
You need to change the CustomBase to HTC-8900/1.2 Mozilla/4.0
This is what is listed for the Tilt
Save your settings and that’s it. By changing that info on my TyTN II, I am now able to access Cingular Video and MediaNet home page. I had to change my connection from My ISP to MediaNet so it would go through the Proxy.
I can now access my account information and a bunch of other areas I wasn't before on my TyTN II.
Cv http://cingularvideo.cingular.com
MN http://device.home
Note: In order to play the videos, you can download a PocketPC version of Real Player since the files are in RM format.
Does your HTTP setting stay?
Whenever I set the http to wireless.cingular.com I can then get to the CV but then after a while the screen says it cannot connect to the internet. I went back to the http setting and learned the http setting to wireless.cingular.com is not there anymore. Looks like it doesn't want to stay there.
I changed my registry to make it think I am using an AT&T Tilt instead of the HTC TyTN II.
Can anyone help?
Got It Working
I only had to do this on my HTC ADVANTAGE...
If you know how to use a registry editor, then look for this entry on you phone.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]
"CustomBase"="HTC_TyTN_II Mozilla/4.0"
You need to change the CustomBase to HTC-8900/1.2 Mozilla/4.0
MEdia Net Proxy info
I believe that the proxy info for the MEdia Net as ISP is hard coded into the ROM as it was for the Hermes.
So all you would really need to do is revise the "model" info for PIE in the registry to what they said earlier.
Do you need to do something to get RealPlayer to stream the video? I'm able to get to the video pages, but when I try to play them, they download instead (wow, there goes all my RAM!)
I did find that this only works in IE, my Opera browser still gives the error page for Cingular Video.
Read what I posted here. http://www.mobileplanet.com/ft.aspx?k=99281
When you select a video to play, it downloads a video.ram file, which contains nothing but a URL. Real Video opens this video.ram file, reads the internet URL, and then plays the video from that URL.
Note: Each time you select a video from the web site, it'll download and overwrite the last video.ram file you downloaded/saved.
Okay, changing the network settings on RP seems to have fixed it.Thanks for the great guide!

Check your e-mail accounts. POP/IMAP accounts allow you to set the connection they will use. If they don't match "Media Net" and go out to check e-mail, you'll get this error because the mail doesn't think the network's available.
There's also a setting in RealPlayer to specify the network that I had to manually change. Once I did all that, I was watching The Colbert Report clips on my phone.
ha im an idiot i was getting the temp difficluties screen but i was connected to wifi took it off and im fine that was dumb but i just tried a video and got failed to connect! lol well ill see if i did somethign else dumb lol
switched the real player settings to mn and were all good
That fix worked for me! I am able to surf/check e-mail while using the MediaNet connection - is there any real need to switch connections all the time? It seems about as fast as my non-proxy connections, but perhaps it isn't.
i can get the list of videos playingm, but when i click on it to watch it, it says " can not connect" real player......how can i change this
any still having problems with real player here u go
Go to ur tmp-file folder (normally "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp\"
u will find quite a lot of folders in there, but if u search (f3) for files ending with *.cab there will pop one file named:
"realplayer.cab" ^^
copy it to ur ppc by using active sync
this worked for me hope for u too
I have tried all of these things and it still tells me the clip is unplayable.
Folks,
Used to have a HTC Universal (Vodafone v1640) that I never got working with Vodafone Live in the UK. Now have a v1615 (Kaiser) and wondering if this device can be made to work and access Vodafone Live.
I'm fairly technically literate (though not an expert!) and have to admit to getting a touch lost on a couple of things I've read on various websites. Not to sure how to change registry settings on my machine, but no probs learning, and very familiar with all the standard wap settings etc required.
My v1640 used to just hang if i pointed it to "www.live.vodafone.com", my Kaiser will now access the site but gives the following error in Explorer:
"Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.live.vodafone.com
The dnsserver returned:
Name error: The domain name does not exist.
This means that:
The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. Check if the address is correct"
I never got this error message on the 1640 - it just sat there and did nothing. So i'm wondering if this is any further progress or not? Or are these HTC devices (as Vodafone confirmed today) just not meant to connect to Live without serious tweaking.
I am more than happy to have a hack at my machine but am slightly lost at where to start here in order to achieve this on my brand new device for which there still doesn't seem to be much info.
Have Vodafone got this device almost ready to access Live? Or is one of the posts i've seen somewhere just a fantasy?!
All I really need is just a basic guide going through it with this new device.
Can't believe Vodafone don't have this working in the first place...
Thanks.
Isn't it live.vodafone.com rather than www.live.vodafone.com?
yes, and you need some proxy settings as well to use it. the only way I got Live.vodafone.com to work was by adding it as a modem connection under my work network if you are looking to use it as a data plan only and it will only work with EAS and PIE, no VOIP or messenger will work. As for using the vodafone live site, you need to change some regkey settings that will fool the the vodafone proxy to think that you have an approved handset for vodafone live, you should find examples in this forum if you search around, I think Modaco also has some entries on this. Bottom line is that Vodafone never intended to let it be used with PPC, because once they loose that control they cannot sell their services, advertise etc which is why it's a relatively useless solution for anyone who use their offer of 500 MB for 10 Eur or something along those lines.
Cheers
LBN
Thanks guys. Yes - it is just live.vodafone.com - was too busy with work...
Ok, starting to get an idea of what needs to be done. Have seen so many posts on various websites that I wasn't quite sure where to start.
I'm guessing that changing the regkey settings is the first thing to try then? Is there an easy to use registry tweaking tool?
Been messing around for a while now and nothing I do seems to make any difference!
I've tried all kinds of different Reg Key settings, every combination of wap and internet access points, and nothing seems to change anything.
Basically no matter what i enter, (either wsp://live.vodafone.com or http://live.vodafone.com) it only connects through a wap connection, and it only brings up a very basic vodafoneLive series of text based web pages with no access to anything interesting.
Do WM6 devices such as mine have different Reg Key settings / areas that need modifying? I'm surprised that putting Nokia settings in, or any other setting has no effect at all!
Anyone??
The vodafone live portal requires a "template" to be present at the vodafone end which defines which screen size and content the device can handle. Unless Vodafone have created one for the v1615, you will need to alter the useragent to look like a device which does have a template...
Without a devices presenting its self as a supported device, you will not be able to access live services.
Why not look at the user agent of the Treo 500v? That is the frist real consumer WM device which has the ability to view the live portal.
Gotcha. Makes sense, thanks for the tip.
Any idea where to find details of a Treo 500v user agent?? Will give it a go if I know where to find one!
Hi,
Take a look at
http://www.modaco.com/Vodafone-Live-Settings-t259142.html
Guys,
I just got a Vodafone Treo 750v which i really like. but it doesn't have Vodafone Live or Mobile TV access on it as standard. I managed to get my Tytn II working (with your help and the Modaco forum) several months ago and now I'm trying to see if you or anyone can get my 750v working.
First thing i did was install a cab file (from the thread in the post above) on my machine and setup a wap connection and i was straight in to Vodafone Live all of a sudden. Got to mobile tv page but Windows media player wouldn't connect via wap. So went to xda-developers page and downloaded the HTC v2.10 streaming player and installed it and set it up to connect via wap.
Success, almost - choosing a channel to watch now launches the HTC player and starts to buffer the video but when it gets to almost 100% buffered and is ready to start showing video it suddenly hangs, then has an error and wants to send an error log to Microsoft. Its almost like the HTC player is missing something or some codec or dll file.
Anyone know how to crack this last bit? Anyone use a different Streaming media player to do this?
Hope someone can help!
Paul
I've been searching the whole forum today and others where I thought I would find an answer, but I still can't find anything that tells me where to look.
Of course, we know the search isn't so great here, but I may have not searched very thorougly, so I'm posting this here in case someone might know off the top of their head where to look.
I don't know if it's PIE or the AT&T proxy that's causing this, but I don't see the problem using Opera Mobile with the same connection. I'm using PIE+ 2.2 on IE, but I remember this occuring even before I installed the plug-in.
I've encountered some sites where IE will *seriously* compress the images and cause them to be very pixelated and distorted even in Desktop view.
I guess I could use Opera, but there's some limitations on it that PIE with "+" overcome.
Any ideas or suggestions?
its AT-T I wouldnt use the MediaNet that the Auto config sets you up with. I personally use the wap.cingular settings and have no issues what so ever

Can you still access MediaNet and Cingular Video with those settings? I was also having problems checking my AT&T Yahoo! IMAP accounts using "My ISP", but they work just fine with MediaNet...
And while we're on the subject: Anyone know why I can't access the mobile Bank of America site anymore? Can't get on it with either Opera or IE - It says that 'for security reasons my device can't acess Mobile Banking.'
I can only access yahoo.com web page. when i try to go to MSN or other web pages it only display white screen. What am I doing wrong? is there a setting I goofed? How do I fix it? Thank you.
I have full MediaPack from ATT.
Try disabling the proxy. Btw, what does your username mean? bird?

When I enter for example www.msn.com the connection process starts with locating then opening, then white screen ... Looks like I am connected however I do not show the web page. I am able to access Yahoo.com however. I cleared all cookies, did a SR and same problem. This issue happens just recently. The only place where I can see proxy settings is the connection tab, and the proxies are disabled.
Asfoor ......... = Bird .... thus the Avatar...
I tried the WiFi connection off of my home wireless and I am able to connect just fine to any web page. Only when I am on EDGE or GPRS / 3G when the problem happens and I can not connect to any other than Yahoo.com. ... Now MobiTV, XM, Resco radio are all fine. I can connect and fast i might add.
Only the Internet access where the problem exists.
Ok then my bad, try ENABLING the proxy if your on that. haha i knew it meant asfoor, because it's arabic

I think it has to do with the Mediamax plan... but what is confusing is that I am able to access www.yahoo.com and that... anything else renders blank page.
it has nothing to do with media max. i have media max and i can surf any website. try doing this, go to start,setting,connection,connection,advance,select network, choose media net,edit, proxy setting, unchecked the box "this network uses proxy server to connect to the internet". if that doesnt work try using another browser like opera mobile or mini opera. Or do a hard reset

Thanks for the tip about opera Mini. I am using as we speak and it is slick. I am wondering if there is a way to create a short cut directly to Opera instead of going through Java first! can you suggest a way? thanks again.
hi, i remember reading a post on here about someone being able to make / prevent the htc diamond from using the WWW services whilst they are roaming.
however forum searches have not prevailed, can anybody help me find the necessary software or regestry edits needed to make this happen to my phone? im going away soon, and dont want to be raped by my mobile provider!
many thanks!
a google search found my answer! see below:

i think this may work.
You could've used search or google for this one. Search for MoDaco NoData, that's the program you need I guess.
i just deleted the GPRS settings
if you dont want to use GPRS than this works
