Hello All,
I have problems on my Kaiser with the internet connection via GPRS (here is no 3G network available).
When I want to update the weather forecast in the Home plugin, sometimes is working, sometimes not. Errormessage is then "server connection lost".
Same story in the Internet Exporer, I can open a web page, then when I click on a link or other page, "connection lost".
According to the status window connection is established and running.
Has anybody an idea here?
I tried already the disable hidden proxy and also the cache of the PIE on the handset. I tried also the advised settings in the tool "kaiser tweaks".
For the connection settings, I have only to put the access point name, my network is assigning all other data automatically.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx,
g-fall
I would say re-check your providers gprs settings.
thank you for the reply.
sorry, i forgot to mention that befor the Kaiser I had the Artemis and it was always working without problems.
btw, the problems with regular email checks was solved by disabling the auto time update and disabling the taskmanager from the today screen. So I hoped that there is something what I missed until now...
Thank you

Please, please help. I have just managed to connect my xdaIIi to my wireless network, but am unable to connect to the internet. Whenever i try to connect it uses GPRS(O2 active) and I am left with a blank screen.
Any help greatly appreciated, it is driving me mad!!!!
just delete gprs setting for the first time and it would be ok. later you can get gprs setting back
Thanks for responding, but when I try to cancel the gprs it returns every few seconds.
Some applications fire up the internet connection if it is down, like Internet Explorer.
Are you sure that all your applications are properly shut-down and not running hidden in the background? ( Settings / System / Memory / Running Programs)
Checkout at Setting / Connections / GRPS Setting... manage existing connections and under proxy settings untick at the top....
I tried stopping all programs still no success, looked in gprs setting and did not have any mention of proxy settings, just class 8 or class 10.
I now get the message which says I must provide proxy server information
HTTP
WAP
Secure WAP
Socks
I have no idea what to do and think I'll just use the laptop for surfing and forget about the internet on the XDA.
Thanks for all of your help so far
dont look under grps setting that got class 8 or class 10. Looks under Connections, the got your GRPS Setting..... manage existing connections.... you'll find the proxy setting.....
hello

Hello all.
I just got my Kaiser last week with the Official HTC ROM and I am have noticed that it's struggling to retain proxy settings for my work network.
when setting my work network connection to private network and then then My Isp to connect to the internet I set proxy settings to point to our proxy server, but once I exit from the connections settings it changes the settings to only be Socks settings, it will not retain the http settings and thus I cannot connnect to the external web, only if I leave the connections open will it retain those settings it seems.
I also find that it seems to be a bit flaky in that combined scenario, it doesnt switch properly between work network and ISP as it is supposed to. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour, is there any reg tweaks that can solve this problem?
A couple of my colleagues have the HTC Touch and they seem to have similar problems.
Cheers
LBN
Am I the only one to experience this issue, is the issue covered somewhere else anyone?
No, you're not the only one to experience this. That just happened to me also. My phone was working fine for the last week and a half and then all of the sudden I couldn't get weather panel to update over GPRS and when I checked my connection settings the HTTP proxy had disappeared. I put it back in and it hasn't disappeared again as of yet though.
Well, I figured out what's causing the problem, but not sure how to fix it. Activesync seems to be disabling the HTTP proxy whenever you're connected and try to connect to the net.
I tried to contact HTC Technical support too to get some more information on this, but surprise surprise they haven't gotten back to me except with a canned reply of being in contact soon. I just to own an ETEN M600 and Eten was horrific in customer support, guess HTC is not far off that
I still haven't figured out why it's doing this, hopefully HTC will shed some light on the problem though. I'm not sure how you have yours set up, but the way I have mine set up is that I have 2 connections set up, 1 with the proxy and one without and switch between the 2 when I need one or the other, that way I don't have to re-enter the proxy each time. There seems to be another problem connected to this that I'm not sure if you've noticed or not and that is if it removes the proxy like it's been doing it also disables any other connections you have set up, meaning that if I accidentally leave it on the proxy connection and WM removes the proxy and then I switch back to the other connection without the proxy it won't work until I reset the phone.
So any response from HTC yet LBN?
losing proxy settings
try to control the settings on the internet explorer of your desktop, on my phone activesync sincronize the proxy settings of IE to the mobile network settings.
Bye

The HTC crowd are a <censored swearwords>, not one word despite contacting them twice, very annoying....
I'm guessing that what ManuX said is probably what it's doing, although I haven't tried it yet to see for sure. The thing is to try and figure out how to stop it from doing that. I never use IE on my computer, but there are apps that I have that do so adding the proxy to IE is pretty much out of the question since all my compter apps would stop working then.
The same is happening with me. I add the proxy settings and re-enter the "Connection" panel, and poof! No more proxy. The SOCKS is kept but the HTTP is gone. Even when I remove the SOCKS, it comes back!
I've got the same problem with my Kaiser...Moreover when directpush is active, PDA make a soft reset and a lot of people have this problem. Have you solutions?
Excuse me for the bad English but I'm french.
Sitting in the same boot, but no idea either on how to solve this problem
anyone have any updates on this?
Same problem!!!!!
I have the same issue also. Is there a third party application that could be used?
I've seen similar, but slightly different behavior. Everytime I connect to activesync (via bluetooth or usb) the 'proxy' setting was being set. This caused an issue for my 3G connections and I had to clear the incorrect proxy setting after each activesync connect.
I tracked this down to the 'proxy' setting in internet explorer 7. If a proxy is set in ie7 (tools->internet options->connections->LAN Settings) the value is pushed to the device. As soon as I cleared the setting in ie7, the problem stopped occuring.
ive just updated to windows 6.1 and still the same problem
[SOLUTION]
The problem of losing the proxy settings after connecting to ActiveSync can be resolved as follow:
Connect your PPC to ActiveSync and let it snychronize.
After synching open the connection settings on your device and re-enter all your proxy settings.
If ActiveSync wants to synchronize after that again, just let it continue.
After the last sync you can disconnect your PPC from the cable
You should now be able to connect to ActiveSync without setting loss
I found the solution some time ago, but forgot to post it.
Anyway it works fine for me and should for all of you, too.
Cheers!
I dont lose proxy setting when connecting to active sync. I lose them when open interent exploror.
I connect to 3G network and PIE, Media Net works well. I disconnect 3G and connect to WiFi, open PIE which is set to Media Net home page and popup reads "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings." It will not go to Media Net home page but most other websites (ie. google, weather channel etc...) work fine. Cingular video reads "having technical difficulties, try again later". Mobile CNN reads "Cnn wireless content is restricted. You may be attempting to access us from an unauthorized mobile service provider, or it could be that your service provider is authorized but has failed to register a new gateway IP with us."
That's with PIE. With 3rd party applications like XM Radio, Windows Live Search, they work well with WiFi but not with 3G. XM pops up "A network error has occurred. Please verify your cellular or WiFi connection is active and restart the app." Live Search will open but wont download maps or get directions.
I've done searches here and in different forums with no success. This happened before and after phone calls to AT&T, HTC then online chat with AT&T tech support I got it fixed with a hard restart. Then after downloading HTC Home Plugin, KaiserTweaks and remapping the PTT button, it started having the same connection problems again.
Now aside from doing another hard restart and having to dowload/install those CABs again, does anyone know how to fix this?
I know the AT&T/Cingular browser settings by heart, but this alone wont fix the problem.
https://www.wireless.att.com/support/knowledgeBase.do?content=KB84444.html
There has to be some missing settings perhaps on Start-Settings-Connections-Connections-Advanced-Select Network : "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:".
Thanks, I appreciate any help.
I know this is an old thread but I was just having the same problem with all my 3rd party apps.
Simple solution: Edit settings for AT&T ISP so that they match the media net settings. Basically change ISP to wap in adress and user name. leave the password as it is.
Im not sure why my 3rd party apps try to connect to ISP but since i cant figure that out this does the trick.
Hopefully this helps somebody. Im using Alex V5.20 CUBE
I was wondering if there was a way to disable Media Net's automatic connecting whenever I open Internet explorer. I only use wifi for the internet. I disabled it using Kaiser tweak and that worked but then I cannot recieve MMS without MEdia Net enabled. I don't have a problem with it being enabled I just don't want it to automaticly start connecting. If it cant be disabled for everything but mms I would rather have a prompt.
Thanks.

EDIT: I should have read before posting. I'm not sure about the MMS part as I don't use the NODATA program. I was just thinking on the disabling data what I did for my moms phone. Sorry.
I tried that program and it has made it easer to enable/disable MEdia Net, but If there is a way to just make it not automatically connect that would be better. I really hate being charged for the data connection when I don't want to
Has nobody else wanted to get rid of the automatic connecting?
This is the way I disabled the automatic connection on my tilt with stock at&t rom. I don't know if it will work on other kaiser models/ roms since I'm still new with windows mobile (only had the tilt for a couple of months).
go to start>settings> connections tab.
select connections, go to advanced tab.
go to select networks.
On "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:"
I changed it from MEdia NET to My Work Network (since I don't use a work network it is not set up). I also switched the second option to my work network just in case.
Since "my work network" was not set up, whenever internet explorer or any other program tries to connect, it will show a "cannot connect" error unless wifi is already activated. however I can still send/recieve MMS since the MEdia net is not disabled.
If you need to use MEdia net on IE you can just switch the opiton back to media net.
I'm still fairly new to windows mobile and my tilt, and I couldn't find a way to do this after searching for days, so i just kept messing with the connections settings until i found this. This is the first time I got a chance to help someone here so I hope it's what you're looking for!
Thanks a lot, it works great!
So I thought this worked but I relized when I make Media Net not auto connect I cannot send or recieve MMS. Is there a way to only allow messaging to auto connect and then disconnect when done?
um why dont you just go to your connection settings and delete your "my connection" its not hard
If I were to do that then I cannot send/receive MMS. That is the dilemma.
go to connections and switch it to "My ISP" and delete the gprs setting from "My ISP"
I just got the data plan and have yet to be able to connect to it? I've tried messing with the KaiserTweak settings. I have data connections enabled. I also enabled leave connection always on but that gave me the connection is not active icon. When I disable that function all I get at the top of the screen is an "H". What do the settings need to be in order to get the data connection properly functioning? I've yet to see the connection is active icon up top.
Update
I am able to update the weather on the HTC home page I'm using by enabling the data connection on all the time but the browsers still do not connect. I also don't see the active data connection icon.
did you uncheck proxy ? if not , do so
Proxy is already unchecked.
You do have a data connection the H means = HSDPA
(Like a 3G connection but faster)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSDPA
Also try refreshing your settings (This works for me... and it's annoying!)
Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>Manage my existing connections.
Then "Next" thru all the settings until you get to the end. Press Finish. The data connection drops and the re-establishes.
See if your browser then works.
When I follow that path under connections I don't see a manage my connections option. All I see is "My work network" with 3 options under that. Add Modem, add vpn server and set up proxy.
Try this
Try these files. I use them whenever I flash a new rom and haven't had any trouble connecting since then.
One has all the medianet/isp settings and the other is for mms. I know you didn't say you have a problem with mms, but just in case
Just run and reset and everything should work.
Thanks, I'll have to try those when I get home. The browsers do connect to Wifi with no issues. Could there be a conflict with that? When there is wifi connection available which connection will it grab onto? Wifi of MediaNet? Those files won't affect the current wifi settings used to connect will it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've never had them interfere with WiFi since I use WiFi at home and MediaNet at work.
The settings cab is a pretty simple cab, it really just fills out all the information in the boxes to set up the connections but it saves a lot of time and gets everything right, for me at least, in one shot.
Let me know how it goes.
I tried those cabs and I still can't get any of the browsers to work. Nor my email. I keep getting a connect connect message. Anyone know the proper settings to get the browsers to work? However the weather is able to update on my HTC home page.
i dont nknow if youve tried this but everytime i flash a new rom i have to do this or ill have the same problem.. in your connections settings go through the meus until you find this device connects to: and by default it should say the internet.. but you have to select media net (att right?) cus thats the only way apparently media net is not the same as the internet!
ex: go to setings > connections > connections (icon) > advanced > select networks > "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using: and itll probably be set to my isp and you ewant it on MEdia net
