Hi,
I think (better I hope) I have found a solution for the "HTC looses HTTP proxy settings for WiFi connections". Probably you have already noticed, that the HTTP proxy setting for a WiFi connection (e.g. configured using "Work" connection setup) is lost after closing and reopening the connection configuration dialog.
During my investigations I found, that the registry snapshots, shortly taken after entering the proxy and after reopening the configuration settings again, were nearly identical. There was no clue, that the configuration program itself reversed the settings, so there was a high feasibility, that the problem is either the entry or the re-read into/out of the registry.
The problem seems to be, that the configuration program does enter the proxy setup in a wrong format. Whereas the "type" parameter should be set to "1" (HTTP) the configuration setup sets this to "0" (null proxy).
So in order to reverse this one has to change the registry (e.g. using PHMRegedit) by performing the following procedure:
1) Go to
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}
2) Locate your proxy setup (key starts with HTTP-{xxxxxxx})
3) Change the "type" value to "1"
For PocketIE the parameter "EnableAutoDetect" in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings (Note: There is no space in the key, don't know, why this forum inserts one) should be either not there (default) or set to 1.
Please double check and let me know. Keep in mind, that your settings may get lost, every time you tamper with the connection configuration program. Probably somebody could provide an OMA Provisioning CAB (_Setup.xml with CM_ProxyEntries and stuff).
EDIT: CAB attached. The contained _Setup.xml connects WORK (SrcID) with WiFi (DestId) using the specified proxy. Taylor it to your needs. Don't forget to "makecab /D COMPRESS=OFF _setup.xml ProxyOn.cab" (Note: COMPRESS=OFF) and ActiveSync it to your device. Tap it to "install". Save the cab for other uses.
EDIT II: Registry key fixed...sorry....
Regards
Neil
i hope this works, ill give it a go when i have time.
It works - great.
Thank you
Andre
I tried the proposed solution, using the .cab file and also by hand, without success.
My regietry key defining the proxy has type=1, but still does not connect...
Sorry, It works when conneting through activesync, but not through wifi.
Does anybody know where is the "intelligence" that decides which connection to use? Is it in the registry?
You have to ensure:
a) Your WiFi board connects to Work, not to Internet
b) Both connection setups must point to Work
The providec cab connects Wifi with Work and configures the proxy.
Hi, neil,
Thanks for the quick response. I did check that the card points to Work, and both connection set ups point to my work network. When editing the connections, I can see that the proxy is well defined. If I enter the registry, I can also see the proxy definition and "enable=1", "type=1". But still PIE hangs in "locating..."
Now, I run the .cab file with wifi "on"...
Probably something is wrong with your proxy. Fortunately I have a transparent proxy up and running. 141.39.43.185 port 8080. Try it. I'll see you
BTW: Sometimes a softreset does make wonders...
Regards
Ah, and don't forget: Whenever you open your devices proxy configuration and closes it again, the proxy config is messed up again by HTC.
Regards
Will try and provide feedback, but, What do you mean by try the transparent proxy? Shoul i define that proxy?
I din know about soft resets. I have even done a hard reset so I am now traying with a fresh registry... Have not ASed yet. But I wonder, Is there a key in the registry that defines which are the correct connections? Or is it all done via SrcId and DestId?
One more thing. I tried to change the proxy definition in your cab file. Extracted the setup, changed it and winrared it back... but this new cab will not install. My proxy is 192.168.0.254:8080...
Sorry for beeing not specific enough: Yes, please define that proxy. Transparent was meant in the sense of "does nothing than transfer back and forth"
Concerning repacking: Use makecab not rar. And don't compress.
SrcID and DestID makes the thing. This GUIDs haven't changed since the very first version of WM
Regards
Tryied my own cab file and worked... only once. It's lost again. Soft reset and will recheck. Thanks for the support
I can not make it connect anymore.
I run the cab file without success. What should the sequence be?
1.- set both connections to "my work network"
2.- open PIE
3.- run the cab file?
In Mobile 6.1 the settings stays but PIE doesn't use the the proxy configuration for some reason.
I'm experimenting with this. Making progress. But I'm still having some difficulty.
I think my Socks proxy port is not getting set right. I'll post back how it is going, but does anyone have thought about the Socks?
[EDIT]
Well, I had hooked up once (or maybe it was reading cache).
Anyway, I'm not having luck. It looks like the settings are right.
One thing I do notice, is that the WAP one, the Type is 2, and the Socks the type is 4, if that makes any difference. But the type for the HTTP one is 1, and the setting for IE looks correct to.

With the downloaded cab, extract the file (may use winrar), change it to your liking and makecab again (no compression).

Hi, Neil
Have you noticed the key "Modified"? If no wifi network is selected, this key seems to be "0", but when a wifi network is connected, it changes to "1"...

Hi Javes
That is what I'm doing. The only mod I made to the file was I changed the Proxy address to the DNS name of our proxy here at work.
What I"m finding is that the key is going in with Type set to 0, even though the XML file has 1 in it.
I'm also noticing that there is another HTTP characteristic with my Proxy (I'm guessing likely from setting in Conn Manager, with my Proxy, and a type of 0, so I have manually set both it and the one added by XML to a type of 1.
After that, still does not connect. I soft reset, and they are back to 0.
So, I went into Connection manager, and deleted references to Proxy,and turned off Proxy, and ran DClicked the Proxy cab again. The settings went in with 1, doesn't connect, and I get a popup that says "Cannot connect with current connectin settings"
So, I soft reset again, and it's back to 0.
So I went into connections, set Proxy to ON, but no proxy settings. Ran the XML file, still no connection.
I think I have a gremlin that won't let mu connect on the public at work. Interestingly, one day a copule weeks ago I was successful connecting...until a soft reset later that day. I had set EVERY item with my work Proxy: HTTP, WAP, SOCKS, and SECURE WAP.
ewingr,
I am no expert at all and have no solutions. Like you, I followed the original instructions about the cab file, with results similar to yours. I've been able to connect on two different occasions, but these connections only last for a minute. After this minute, connection is impossible for me, with resets, re-cabs and the lot. Lets wait until someone more knowledgeable drives us to success...
In the meanwhile, I will keep trying different things.

Can anyone get their cingular internet (edge) to work?
yea.. i did. you just have to extract the files from the Cingular EXT Rom. It includes a CAB to enable Edge and the Edge icon.
*In the attached EXT ROM, Signed_Edge_Icon is the Icon itself, and EONs is the cab that actually enables Edge. Install EONs first then the icon.
~Stefanelli~
Thank You !!!!!
Okay, I installed both like you said and it still does the same thing. When I click on IE, it says it can not connect with current connection settings. To change your settings, tap settings.
Is there a setting I still need to change? How do I access the edge icon you were talking about that.
Have you tried running this cab file?

am I supposed to do something after I install the cab file or is it supposed to work automatically?
You have to make sure that you have the correct settings in!
Go to Connections, then to advanced. Tap 'Select Networks'. Create a new connection profile, name it MEdia Net.
Then tap Modem and tap...
Create New
(name it Cingular)
Enter a name for the connection. From the "Select a modem" drop-down, select Cellular Line (GPRS).
Tap Next.
In the "Access point name" field enter wap.cingular.
Tap Next.
Verify the following profile settings, then tap Advanced:
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Domain: Blank
Verify the following settings and tap Ok.
Use server assigned IP address: Selected
Use specific IP address: Unselected
Use software compression: Unchecked
Use IP header compression: Checked
Tap Finish.
Tap Ok.
Give that a try.
Just so you know... Those settings are for Cingular users... not AT&T... so if you are AT&T tell me and I'll give you settings for that... but what you have said tells me you are Cingular. Hope I've helped.
I am cingular.
okay, when i attempt to connect to the internet, it says the answering modem has disconnected. to check your connection settings, go to settings...bla bla bla.
Is the password "CINGULAR1" was the 1 and caps typo?
no it should be caps and there should be a 1 at the end.. the settings i gave you are directly off the cingular support site.. so they should work..
-Stefanelli-
Oh good GOD, I was the one with the typo. I was typing WPA (like the encryption) instead of WAP. Thanks for the help. I'd buy you a beer if I could
If you simply run the cab that golfernutnflorida posted all those GPRS settings are there.
I'm on Cingular and I'll be damned if I had to put those settings in by hand the numerous times, sometimes daily, that I flash a new experimental ROM!
In other words, I keep that exact cab on my SC.
Exactly! The less I have to put in under a Rom Flashing, the better.

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.

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.
Okay, i just flashed RomeoS 4.1 onto my AT&T tilt. How do I get my 3g data connection back? I can use my LAN WIFI to go on the interent, but not the 3g line. There has got to be something simple I am missing! help
Did you run "Connection Setup".
I don't have RomeoS ROM, but it should be here:
Start>Settings>
>Connections Tab
>Connection Setup
run that and it should set up the correct settings for your network.
The other thing you may need to do is:
in the same place as the "Connections Setup" there should be a "Connections" Icon.
>Connections
>Manage existing connections
>Proxy Settings
>make sure "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" option is UNCHECKED.
I hope that does the trick for you. It the only thing I can think of.
Run HTC Connection setup and DISABLE proxy
thanks for your suggestions, i will try this today!
still doesn't seem to work. I would assume that every single time anyone flashes a new rom, they have to setup their data connection again, right?
It'll work for sure, as suggested above, use Network Wizard or the HTC Connection tool, both do the same thing and the cabs area available on XDA-Dev.
And yes if you re-flash your ROM you'll need to set your Data Connection settings again as they are formatted when you ROM upgrade.
I had the same issue when i installed that rom, theres a cab called Cingular PDA Medianet mms and one called wpbear_AT&T_proxy there on this site if i wasent on my phone i would link you
wpbear_AT&T_proxy
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don't like it... however pending on your flash history and what you installed you may have to check a reg entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \HTC \CommManager \WLAN] = " \\ Windows \\ WLanMgr.exe " "DeviceName" = " {98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} \\ TNETW12511 "
If it reads TNETW12511 you're OK
downloading those cabs worked like a charm! thank you very much!
I have searched this forum (maybe I have missed something)
Does not matter what ROM I put on the X1, when I set the proxy settings (for my work connection) they do not seem to "stick".
I saw someone mentioning a registry fix, but I cannot seem to see it.
Also if someone could make a cab the sets the keyboard language to value 1035, I would be very glad, I have a swedish keyboard on my X1, but I prefer the WWE roms.
wrong forum dude
-does this happen on official ROMs?
-did you connect the device to activesync or WMDC? normally the proxy settings get copied from the PC to the PPC
- try to use "wifi profiles" app to create several profiles with the correct proxy settings. you can now create a shortcut to activate the wifi and change to the correct profile with a single click
cheers
Thanks for looking
Not sure how this is the wrong place though as is it pertains to only cooked roms on the X1.
I am using Vista WMDC, but I will explore the profiles you where talking abount.
Essentially I am connected via USB, I have forced the PC side to use Work as the connection and I am either creating a new connection or using the work connectino then configuring the settings.
Once I set the proxy address, and I exit, it's wiped clean from that profile.
"wifi profiles" is a software http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wifi-profiles-v0-0-2.html
also see if you can cange the proxy from Opera (opera:config) . i used to have an addtional opera mobile application just to access the internet from work without changing the profile.
Thanks, I will download it today and check.
My problem is that I want the wather and other internet based tabs in Manila to work and opera proxy would not settle this.
/J
i had a lot of proxy issues with a lot of non official builds found in most cooked roms. so see if you get this problem with an official rom

I'll try, it's jus that the Stick X1 (or even the X2 rom) sux. this is why I am putting cooked roms on it in the 1st place
I just read somewhere someone hinting that there may be a simple Registry fix to make the settings stick.
It's funny, I can go in and out of the connections settings (under work, 1st set my proxy 2nd edit my proxy) and it's all there UNTIL i go to the weather tab and try to refresh the status.
Then if I go back it's cleared
is it possible to connect to WPA Enterprise networks via WiFi? because I'm searching for a ROM which would allow to connect to the network on my university, which runs the following configuration:
SSID: eduroam
type: WPA-Enterprise
key exchange scheme: TKIP
authorization: EAP-PEAP-MSchapv2
IP: via DHCP
I tried it with the Energy ROM from the forum, but it doesn't allow me to enroll the certificate or it doesn't want to accept it. the other way round it doesn't allow me to enter a user name, I can only put in my password.
could somebody give me a hint what to do? I was searching the forum, found some registry hacks, but none worked
Try to change:
HKLM\\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms\WPAMixedMode
from 1 to 0.
ok, I tried it, but still the same happens:
I enter everything in the configuration menu of the comm manager, click 'next' and then I have to choose a certificate to log on - a little bit lower is a button called 'Enroll', which does nothing when hit. When I try to click 'done' it says that I have to enroll a certificate, so there's only cancel left ...
still doesen't work
well ... can somebody help please?
//edit:
well, as it seems nobody really knows how to work that out ...
Because I'm at my university every two weeks for the weekend, I'll be able to test this way of trying to connect to the WPA enterprise network in a week. but perhaps somebody else can confirm or obey this workaround:
Connect your device to your desktop/laptop and when WindowsMobileDeviceCenter (Win 7: just type the name in the search field in the start bar) opens go to Mobile Device settings >> More >> Get Device Certificates >> I know What Certificate I need to Enrol >> User ... then click enroll. Watch your device as you will be prompted to install the cert. Follow the prompts and after a few seconds you're done. When you setup your wifi connection choose PEAP and enter all the needed information.

thanks a lot for this tip, it looks a little bit different on a customized ROM and stuff, but in general it worked - I'll try it on friday or saturday, then I'll be at my university and able to give feedback!
when it'll work, I'll post a translated how-to in this thread...
sorry, I wasn't able to establish the connection with the tip by jones23 ... perhaps it works with WPA2, but not here ...
Hello,
what is the status of this? Did you find a solution?
I have the same issue since I flashed the EnergyROM.
Any ideas?
unfortunately it's truely not possible, I wasn't able to connect to the configuration from the first post using the HTC Diamond II ... damn thing!
but I'm gonna try this weekend something different: imho it's just a software problem, it's got nothing to do with hardware ... so I'm gonna try a dual boot with android and connect with that, perhaps this will work. I'll give feddback
ok, during clicking around on the device I found the solution:
Comm Manager -> Settings -> WLAN -> Network Cards
Here you can ignore the certificate and enter login data for the WIFI network.
Hopefully someone else can use this information.
@ taschenuhr
thats great to hear
@ others
perhaps you can use a notebook for testing purposes, since the connection & login data is the same. there's a windows (mac) version of that same client software.
