cant get email - internet works......

strange (it worked once, but after a hard reset not anymore
i have internet on my phone over 3G: works just fine.
however, when i try email, i get a synchronized error.
somehow the connection is broken or so.
so i want to remove this connection and add a new one, but
i dont know how to remove all connection entries, preferrably
including proxy-settings, so i can start a fresh.
does anyone know how to accomplish this?
when i add a new connection now, it does NOT show up in the drop-down for the advanced-email-account-settings to use that particular connection for email! only the old one!
thats why i want to delete all and start a new. or is there another way to get the newly added connection to appear in the dropdown list for using with with my email-account? (only vodafone GPRS is selecteable, along with internet etc)
thanks!

Go to start--settings---connections---advanced---select networks---edit---then take the stylus and hold it on the connection u want to delete...it will come up with a box with the option to delete...click delete and that should get rid of the connection...then just set up a new one...
Thats how i did mine and it worked perfectly well.

thank you m8! thats exactly what i wanted to know
great forum!

ATT Touch Pro Internet Sharing Connection Issue

Got myself an ATT Touch Pro. When using the Internet Sharing Application, with either USB or Bluetooth, I am getting an error. This is what is going on.
1. Open the Application.
2. Select either USB or Bluetooth.
3. Click on Connect.
4. Click Yes on the Enable the Device Dialogue.
5. Status shows as Device Setup finished.
6. Network activitiy shows in the Top tool bar.
7. Error message: Cannot Connect. The Remote party has ended this connection.
I can put the same SIM back in my Tilt and I am running great. Also downloaded URPREY-ICS from a different thread and installed it. But still having the isssue. Any help is appreciated.

It's AT&T's way of trying to force you to get a tethering plan. You need a registry editor, and maybe your phone unlocked, but mine worked without it.
Go to the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
There will be a value ForceCellConnection it will be set to "AT&T ISP". Change it to "Media NET" without the "" and that should do it. You'll need to close and reopen internet sharing if you had it open while doing this.

Thanks so much! It worked!!!!

Internet Sharing on FUZE
All you really have to do is go into settings and select the ATT ISP... edit... instead of [email protected] change to WAP. This will connect the forced ATT ISP Setting to connect to wap.cingular... No need for a download or anything... I had mine working in a few seconds.

I am assuming it is against AT&T's TOS to tether without the plan, correct?
My question is... I pay for the unlimited data package... If I tethered for small amounts of data while traveling is it really noticeable? Is there any other way for them to tell?

they can't notice if the traffic is coming from a laptop or a phone but they can notice irregularities in the data consumption. Basically, if you use it for normal usage (web browsing, email, etc..) then you should be fine.

I've had unlimited data for over two years. I stream TV via orb from my home pc to my phone and laptop, browse the internet going to whatever site I please, etc. I've went over 5GB a few times, but normally stay in the 2-3 GB a month range. I've never heard anything. And not they can't tell. If it's against their TOS, they need to tell their reps in the store. When I got my blackjack two years ago, that's exactly what they told me to do. They said you don't need a plan other than unlimited to tether with this phone.

So did I. Because I already had a registry editor downloaded on my mem card and it worked fine on my new phone. A registry editor is a requirement IMHO, so it's well worth the download even if you don't use it for this.

Actually you are better off to just empty out the value.
This way, when you go to internet sharing you will get a second drop down asking you to select the connection.
I did this and it works greate. ( This is how the unlocked version of HTC Touch Pro has )

Have you tried any of the steps above? Your post is pretty vague.

Will they kill your contract if your caught using too much data?

I hit around 5.8GB back in March. Didn't hear anything, so I assume no news is good news. They CAN do it however. Doubt full that they will unless you make it a habit. That was only my second or third time over 5GB in over 2 years and the most I have ever used in a month. Yay march madness!

Took latest HTC ROM and sharing will no longer work
I updated my Rom on both my Fuze and Tilt. Now internet sharing will not work any more. I get the remote refusal message. I went into the reg and I do not have the forceconnect value to delete. Any suggestions??

Try a custom ROM? I don't have that ROM to tell you what to change, but I would guess it is the connection internet sharing is using. Use media net and see if that helps. If not, custom rom! There's no good reason really to run a stock ROM unless you intend on using your phone the way AT&T wants you to.

I know how to edit the registry on a PC, how do you do get to it on a Tilt 2?

Same way...with a registry editor.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Does the Tilt2 already have a register editor, or do I need to download one? If it has one, how do I get to it? If I need to download one, what would you recommend?
Thanks,

You need to download one. I'm using whatever came with my ROM, so I'm not sure of the name, but they are available here. Just search for them.

Thanks, I'll find one.

App needed!!! task manager

You mean you want to turn off the radio?
Simple method is to go to Settings -> Wireless controls -> Airplane mode. NOTE: This turns off all radios, including WiFi.
If you want a icon to do this, go to the Market and download AnyCut and make a shortcut to Airplane mode.

no not turn off the radio , just close all open connection. cuz i can't see if there's some connection open !!!!!!

A little more description on your dilema would be apreciated.
Who charged you 55 euros?
Are you talking about data transmissions?
If your phone is on and you have service with some provider AND haven't installed any apps that require streaming data, you should not have any "open connections" as you say.

No need for a task manager as the device closes programs on its own.
To disable all data connections use anycut to phone info (like said above) and then menu -> more and you can disable data connection for just that time or disable it on boot to disable forever.
If you were charged 55 euros for using data then you need to get a different phone as this phone is meant for an always on connection so it is connected 24/7

Well I have the same issue. There are no affordable dataplan in the country I live in so letting any application use as much network as it feels like is not an option.
Sadly the phone does not have a way to control who's allowed to use the radio/network or anything for that matter past the installation time. So if pong3d has been installed with full network access you're screwed it can wake up at any time and start streaming whatever it wants from and to your phone. It can even clog your bandwidth and make your browsing suck.
I understand the whole fully connected device thing, but I still think this is a major flaw as users end-up with limited control over what application is doing what. There should be a way to disable data connection, like disabling wifi.
And ultimately there should be a way to manage the permission of the various app. I want to run pong3d but there is no way I'm giving it Contact Access and SMS access and "service that cost you money". Or I want a fair warning "accept/deny" whenever the application tries...
It also happens that people travel (like me) to other countries. And when traveling I use local pre-paid SIM card to avoid roaming fees. I don't need gtalk and MarioSimulator (yeah it does check for update when you launch it) to burn through my credit just because they think they can.
Since we had networking on phone they have been asking you if you wanted to allow the application to connect "Always/Never/Just this time". If Android expect to be used on other devices (so other providers, other countries, other dataplan) that feature will be needed. And the all or nothing attitude towards permissions when installing an app must be changed.
In the mean time, I suggest the original poster do what I do.. Delete all your APN settings and re-add them when needed. In my case just changing one letter in the APN seems to be enough.
my 2p.

I completely understand where you are coming from and I think once the OS comes out of beta it will be a lot better. In the meantime I think it is easier to do the method I did above as it just turns off the data connection and doesn't change any other settings. And you can turn it on or off on the fly.

Don't mean to derail the converstaion but... Google, out of BETA? ROFLOL!!!
That'll be the end of life as we know it!
Anyways... going back to the subject. Your trick is neat and I don't need it (T-mobile customer with unlimited data) but still usefull.
@ mrboyd:
As neoobs stated, you'll have to do that workaround untill Google does add such a feature, but unless you give enough stink (complain) about it, they won't listen.
You could go here to developers and see if anyone is doing something about it and "ask" for such a "feature"
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers
Also, where are you located? Who's your service provider? What data plans do they have there, or don't?

On the same topic... if someone notices they have no data connection and want to enable it follow the same directions. I did this the other night when tmobiles towers were down. It helped me get connected again.

Does this thing works? I have tried playing with it a little bit and it didn't seem to do much. I'll give it another shot.

AT&T Pure unlock GPS and Internet Sharing

has anyone figured out a way to get the GPS to work with any nav software (i have the Garmin SD card) or use the HTC Internet Sharing without having to give AT&T the extra dough every month?
Also, do these features work with a new ROM?
thanks guys!

GPS on Pure is not locked so even with the AT&T stock ROM you should be able to run you nav software. I personally have tried Google Maps, Bing and TomTom, all working fine, so I don't think there should be a reason for Garmin not to work.
Haven't checked the Internet Sharing with stock ROM though because impatience just drove me putting a cooked ROM onto the device before I really explored all the stock ROM features/bloatwares. However, I can confirm that Internet Sharing works like a charm with my current ROM (I'm running Duttys at this point and am going to try out EnergyROM pretty soon).
Hope this helps.

do u have a direct link to where i can get the ROM you are using?

I'm using the stock rom that comes from ATT Pure.
I installed Garmin, Google Maps and Bing and all of them are working without making any change to registries or any trick.
definitively the GPS is not locked on the original ATT Rom

Following along with the others in this thread. Third party GPS tools seem to work well.
As far as Internet Sharing, you'll want to check this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437796

Is anyone else having this issue (having searched, haven't found 'lest I'm blind )
On my AT&T Pure, have GPSToday (full app, not the "today screen" version) and Bing. Both have worked fine on my old Kaiser, when GPS running, the apps both actively download new map sections as I go...
However...
On the Pure, if I open either app and run GPS, the app doesn't update maps, but when I stay in the app and turn OFF the GPS, both apps will start downloading map data (from the centerpoint of the last GPS position...
it's almost like there's something in the Pure (or some setting I've screwed up?) that shuts off these apps' access to the data network when the GPS is on... I'll test that this afternoon after my class, by allowing GPS to run in Bing and seeing if IE will hit the Internet... but in the meantime, just wondering if anyone else is/has experienced this?

Great, worked for At&t Pure. I'm now using MEdia Net. You may be able to change the registry key Value from At&t ISP Net to MEdia Net so you won't have to deal with accdidently clicking the drop-down when you connect.

Just install this cab and set both your networks to MediaNet and you can tether.

How do i get the ATT Pure to Share the Internet
I can't get the phone to to the internet sharing, I have uninstalled the proxy but to no good. If you go to the program for intenet sharing I dont get any option, I click to connect and the error message says unable to connect. Is there a register edit to be done or do i have to pay ATT more $$$$ for the service?

First go to Settings\Connections\Connections\Advanced\Select Networks and set both to Media Net, click OK.
Then go to Tasks\Manage Existing Connections\Proxy Settings and check "This network connects to the internet" and uncheck "This network uses a proxy server", also remove the proxy server settings.
For the second part, it may be greyed out if you're on the stock ROM, if so, install the RemoveHiddenProxy.cab posted previously.

having problems again and again on just unlocking the phone so I can put a new ROM on it. I too want to use the tethering on my HTC Pure from AT&T. Have a link to a simple process to unlock and push the ROM?

[Q] Flash Lumia 1020?

Hi
I been having problems with using my "internet sharing" on my lumia 1020(keep telling me I need a data connection in order to use this feature....eventhough I do have). I asked around and one person asked if my lumia 1020 was from Rogers Canada which it was. Eventhough my phone is unlocked, this person is saying that the Rom on my phone is still Rogers and it is most likely the reason. He suggested getting rid of the rom, though I am not sure how to do this. I seen some posts here on how to flash but nothing for 1020, I am wondering if there is some guide for the 1020 as I really want step by step guide for my phone as I don't want to screw up.

Do you have the problem with both, wifi and mobile data connections? And did you try by connecting to a PC via USB (= using that connection)?
Also, why shouldn't it work with that particular ROM, did he explain that any further?

How I understand internet sharing works, is that it shuts off wifi and you can only use your data connection. It tries to shut it off and then I get this error ""there's no celluar data connection to share right now. check your cellular settings and signal, and try again"
Even though I can surf the internet before and after that message, so it is not my data connection. This guy thinks said he seen this happen on other phones and the he thinks the reason is that Rogers has like software locked that feature so that it only works with their Sims and that it is reject my Sim from another provider. He thinks that if I would reflash my computer with the Rogers rom then that check would not exist and it would work.
I am not sure what you mean by connecting to to a PC via USB. I can connect my phone to my computer and browse the file system of the phone, I just can't hotspot or really send MMS messages.

Oh, I thought you were talking about a different feature.
Yeah, you create a wifi hotspot from your data connection. What I said doesn't make sense then.
In general, you could also try a hard reset instead of fiddling with ROM, that's way safer. However, you will lose all your data on the device, so make sure you backup everything beforehand.
http://www.hard-reset.com/nokia-lumia-1020-hard-reset.html
I once had an issue with a settings page on my Lumia 800 back in WP7 days. Everything else failed, but a hard reset fixed it.

Is there any backup program to backup like your titles and stuff or will I have to setup all this up. I think my apps are backed up?

I don't know what "Access Point" is. I am trying to use settings -> internet sharing - switching sharing from "off" to "on"
Yes calling works, texting works(besides mms texting which seems to work maybe 50% time)
Yes Data works, I can surf the net, use any data required. Only thing is "internet sharing" thinks it is off.

Search the internet for "Nokia access point app" you will get a link to the windows store to download the app. Download and install it. It fixes internet sharing.

Works for me. Talk to wind and tell them you have an galaxy 3 or some other phone the sell, the them you need your phone reprovisioned (it just means the renew your cell network connection)
