HTTP proxy problem already solved? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi group,
I have the problem, that I cannot save my HTTP proxy settings permanently. Up to now I thought it was related to my T-Mobile brand, but after a firmware upgrade I found, that this must be a problem of the HTC itself. I'm now back on HTC original firmware, and still unable to keep the HTTP proxy settings saved. After hitting OK everything seems to be OK, but with the next opening of the settings the HTTP proxy setting is lost from the connection.
I should have googled before updating: The Google query "HTC proxy" brings tons of unresolved similar problem descriptions.
I have searched this forum but didn't find anything about this.
Is this a known problem? Is there a fix? Will WM 6.1 be a solution?
Regards

Ohh I get the same problem. I don't bother with the wifi connection that requires the proxy settings and just use HSDPA now. Running wm6.1, will give it a go on monday to see if 6.1 fixes the problem.

Hi stevierg,
no it doesn't unfortunately. I flashed dutty's WM6.1. The only change: The setting is kept under some circuumstances (WiFi adapter is connecting to "the work"), but is now not recognized at all... The internet access simply doesn't care...
It is rediculous: MS has - from the very first PDA version - that brain sick "The Work/The Internet" split up and they don't get a simple proxy configuration cooked, even in version 6.1. Unbelievable...
On the other hand - I tend to believe, that it must have to do with the specialilities of the HTC rom. I've got an ASUS device with WM6 too, and there is no such a problem...
Strange

Possibly found a solution

Wifi and proxy settings problem

Hello,
I've installed several roms Duty's, Shap's and HTC original.
I'm setting up a proxy on connection settings.
Every time i turn on Wifi it erases my proxy settings!!
Is there someone with the same problem?
Thanks.
Known problem unfortunately and I have not been able to find a fix up until now - although I think today I might have cracked it.
I will report back when I've thoroughly tested.
Same problem here. The SOCKS server stays however, or at least it comes up by itself!
Opera used to support a separate proxy but now it doesn't. So a fix is needed for mostly anything to work.

I've installed the latest roms provided by Alex and the official HTC roms. All of them have the same problem!!! This is really a crap. For me it's a bigger problem then driver's.

problems since ROM upgrade

I have worked in IT support for 8 years at the desktop support level. I dont understand all but can usually figure things out. I apologies in advance for being a rookie. I am frustrated with this device and need help!!
I upgraded ATT tilt to Dutty 6.1 Build 19700.duttys 6.1 about 1 month ago and Since I did this I have had a lot of problems. Build has all the goodies and more but since the upgrade I cant get any work done because I am always tweaking in an attempt to get the device working properly. I have tried to reset and reflash sevral times to start all over again but I end up with the same issues.
1. Unable to sync with active sync. I have disabled avast anti and I still am unable to sync. I also added port 990 to firewall and no good. I have re-installed active Sync 5 times. It only works when I play with it and then the device does not stay connected. It boots the connection 1 or 2 minutes after sync
2. No email apps or programs work. I tried the java versions and all. Messaging says error synchronizing and gives this message - "cannot cannect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap settings" My settings are OK as far as I can see. I purposely connect to media net before opening email to make sure the data connection is present. I had full blown HSDPA in NY city yesterday and no email or GPS working.
3. GPS and GPS upgrade is not working. Does GPS use its own radio? Does dutty upgrade break the radio? Not sure what is happening here as well.
4. No you tube video as usual. This has always been broken and remains broken for me. I tried installing flash bundle, codecs, etc.... No good.
I constantly get prompted the below
"cannot cannect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap settings"
Only thing that works is web browser.
Can someone please point me to a good solid working and mostly complete ROM for the US att tilt "kaiser". Maybe this is all I need. I have trouble finding ROM info and whether its current via the site. It gets confusing and I just want to set up once and forget, if you know what I mean. Please provide any links I might need to a fix, rom, tweak, etc..
Please help!
Steve
Steve, I updated to Dutty's ROM a while ago and all worked well until about a couple of weeks ago. I do not attribute my problems to the ROM though but rather the Tilt itself. My first issue was related to no activesync connectivity. My Tilt became an "unknown" device. Looking at my USB port from inside of the battery compartment notice bent pins. I was able to straighten the pins out but only could connect with one of about 10 USB cables that I had around. Once you have loaded Dutty's room I would recommend reconfiguring your connectivity to AT&T. You can download a CAB with all of the configuration setting on this board. Recently my touch screen would freeze up and not work well. I thought it might be the ROM but later found out there must have been some physical problem. Two days ago I called ATT and RMA'd my phone. I recieved the new phone yesterday and configured it last night. All is working well (USB and Touchscreen, new ROM, New SPL and new radio).
BTW last night saw (do a google search - I don't remember where I saw it) a revised video / flash version of TCXXXX software. With Dutty's ROM (and current) my GPS worked great. I use it with a couple of test GPS programs and TomTom on Com4. I also have an external BT GPS and it works well with that. Check to make sure your email is not configured for a proxy or local network connection.
Pete
Thanks Pete, Since this post I have gotten the GPS to work. There is a GPS app in programs\tools that has an enable option. I stumbled across it looking for answers. Ill check the pins on my cable as well.
Dutty's connections wizard actually had the wrong info for ATT america. I had to remove ID and password to get it working for Media Net so I hope the cab you reference is a newer one than is on my tilt.
I am still getting the same message for email. "cannot cannect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap settings"
I have to be missing something in the connection settings. I will try the cab, maybe it has been updated since Dutty's build.
Can you think of any thing in the connection settings?? Opera works but email gets error and message to check connections.
Ill let you know how that works.
Here are the essential 3 cab files you need for your Tilt.
1) fixes keyboard
-Install, soft reset, done
2) Sets At&t settings
-install, set up email but do not save your password
then do this
start>settings>connections>connections>advanced>select networks>change both drop downs to media net>click edit on both drop downs and go to proxy settings here you will uncheck everything. remember to do it to both dropdowns.
3) removes hidden proxy (which will allow your email to work if you are using a saved password)
-install, then go to your email set up and save your password.
edit: This will also allow you to update htc weather, quickgps, and a number of other programs without receiving errors.
good luck and have a nice day

Do cooked ROMs solve the wifi and PEAP secured networks problem?

Hello,
I had Windows Mobile 6 on my Kaiser, and I had a problem with connecting
to a PEAP secured network. So, I upgraded to official WM 6.1, because
I thought it would solve the problem. But it didn't.
My question is, do the cooked ROMs solve the problem with wifi and a secured
network? (The problem that it says "Cannot log on to the wireless network.
This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you".)
I have read the wikis about how to flash a new ROM, HardSPL... But I am very
new in this field, and could someone help me a little for me not to break
anything?
I would be very thankful...
Is there an option in WM 6.1 to disable the use of certificates?
Have a fix!
I don't know if any cooked ROM specifically fixes this, that would be up to the developer.
But lucky for you - I eventually was able to track down a fix for this. There's a registry key you have to add, and all is well after that.
Check here:
xda thread for the Hermes - works the same for Kaiser
Hope that helps.
DTB
I added a new DWORD Value named "ValidateServerCert", gave it the value 0,
turned off , and on the device, and it didn't work. Maybe I do something wrong?
Thanks!

TMUK Compact IV to HTC 2.03 ROM - connection settings?

Hi,
Before anyone shouts, I have searched the forums and read hundreds of posts but haven't found the answer! I have a stock TMUK MDA Compact IV which is, to say the least, slow and unstable. It's totally stock at the moment and I want to flash it to the latest official HTC Diamond 2.03 ROM as there are plenty of reports of speed and stability improvements.
Question - will the GPRS/3G connection settings (and any other network-specific setup I need) automatically detect or will I have to manually configure them after flashing? The TMUK stock ROM hides the connection details so I can't make a note of them - I therefore want to be sure I have all the details I need before I blow the old ROM away!!
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Tim
I didn't use the latest official ROM, but the previous one automatically detected the network setting after 1 or 2 minutes of being "on air". You get a notification that network settings have been found, and it will ask if you want to install them.
So i assume the new ROM does exactly the same
Hi,
Do a search on Modaco, they have a cab that gives you the T-Mobile settings.
Regards
the rom will automatically pic up that its needs settings so you select the correct option then you accept the settings and all will be fine.im on TMUK with a Diamond and everything is sweet.
Upgraded fine - a few more questions!
Upgraded fine thanks everyone. I had to select my network and it automatically set up the connections. One strange thing is that if I selected "T-Mobile" the next screen of the wizard had a different network name listed! Seems that the names and connection details are mixed up, I had to go through each network and find the one with T-Mobile's settings behind it. Think it was "Fresh" in the end!
Anyway, a couple of strange things I've noticed and wondered if anyone could help. Apart from these, so far the ROM is a big improvment on the old one.
1 - My GMail account will only download over the air if I set the account to connect using my GPRS connection - if I leave it on "The Internet" it fails to connect even though the connections are configured so that "The Internet" links to my GPRS connection! Opera works fine, so it's a messaging issue.
2 - The main problem - I can't get WMWiFiRouter to install! I had it working fine on my old ROM, but when I run the cab to install now it just sits with the progress bar on zero with the rotating "busy" symbol forever. Other cabs install fine! Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim
Never mind!
Never mind, looks like the cab file was corrupted somehow. Copied back from my PC and it installed fine!
Thanks,
Tim

Kaiser O2 to Vodaphone - web not working

Hi,
I have an O2 branded Stellar ie a Kaiser. Was working fine on O2 for internet, and just changed to Vodaphone (in the UK). Despite putting in the recommended settings of wap.vodaphone.co.uk username web/ password web into a new modem connection it won't go online. Any ideas from anyone who has done this?
Vodaphone won't help me - told me to called HTC!
cheers
Rob
Have you tried using HTC Connection Setup to reconfigure your connections?
HI - well I've been into Settings/Connections/Connections/Add a new modem connection and put in all the details I found here:
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
and it won't connect properly when I try to go online.
Or do you mean somewhere else?
thanks
If you go to Start, Settings, Connections, do you see an item called Connection Setup?
If not, try download and installing this cab on your phone. Once you install it, soft-reset and then go back to the same place mentioned above. Run Connection Setup and select your location and operator. It should configure your connections for you and restart your device (or prompt you to do it yourself).
Thanks this and another thread from Basti have got me up and running - voda needs a proxy apparantly...
The connection wizard will handle both networks

As someone who has used both Vodafone and (now) O2 in the UK on an HTC branded Kaiser, I've always found the connection wizard in the default HTC ROM to take care of things fully and automatically. Have you thought about putting an HTC official ROM on it? The wiki and numerous threads here at xda explain how it's done. I could never get the Vodafone Live Website to work with my standard TyTN II BTW so don't be surprised if it definitely doesn't work with an O2 version of the same phone
