I've got 2 accounts set up on my Tilt, one's Gmail and the other is with Comcast. For whatever reason, when I check Comcast it takes forever to finally come back with a response. It sits at 'Connecting...' for maybe 5-10sec and then 'Logging on...' for a good 45-60secs which is too long. Gmail comes back in like 3secs. On my pc at home it goes extremely fast so I know it's not on Comcast's end.
This happens whether I connect via wifi or 3g... For battery purposes I have it set to manually check, plus I check more often than 2hrs. XpressMail hasn't impressed me but if there's another method that might work better, I'm all ears!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I had the same problem when I used to have comcast e-mail. When you set up your comcast e-mail did you let Windows set it up? I suggest manually inputing the incoming and outgoing mail server settings. I would suggest checking those as they relate to Comcast settings.

Yeah I double checked those again and they're set the exact way as they are on my desktop pc, with the exception for outgoing mail which is necessary... Very weird... Thanks for the response though!
I think Comcast does that because it's out of network, . On my laptop,when I'm out of network it takes a long time to check too. This happened with my last smartphone also, so it's not a Kaiser issue at least.

Yeah I had the same problem with comcast. You might want to call 1-800-266-2278 and ask if they have some settings for mobile phones that might help. Other than that I really don't know sorry. Maybe another user here might be able to assist you.

Deffinately not specific to the Kaiser...this happened on my Cingular 8125 (Wizard) and At&t 8525 (Hermes) as well.
Well I just needed to make sure it's not something I was doing wrong on my end. If that's how it is, that's how it is. Not too big a deal but never hurts to ask right?
Thanks for the input!
After searching a good bit, I found a forum that said that even though the settings aren't checked for SSL, that it still goes through and does this. They said there was a tweak program or something to disable this. Not sure if that makes sense but I know that SSL is disabled in my setting under Comcast... could that be related?

Yup-mine was the Cingular 3125
(On a side note
totally glad I got ATT to let me out of the 2 yr hardware contract to upgrade to the Tilt-took a bit,but they agreed, had to make my case that they allowed upgradin to the iThing with no penalty, and after going to a 3rd level supervisor-was able to get the Tilt-and no penalty-had a yr left on my 3125 contract and they left me like that-so next yr can upgrade again at no penalty.)

Wow,
Tried that, and it messed up my settings-didn't work, comcast wouldn't even connect.
So I removed the tweak program,soft reset the phone and deleted my comcast account and re-set it up and BINGO!! checks like instantaneous now!!
Don't know if that tweak modified the registry and left it that way or what, but after removing that tweak program and resetting my email account and a soft phone reset it works awesome!! lol go figure.
Anyone know where to look in the registry for that disable ssl?
Alemaker
Found the problem-and a reg hack
Found the issue-
It turns out that the issue lies with the Comcast server. The short answer is that the Comcast server does not have SSL enabled and the mobile operating system (2003, WM5/6) thinks it does.

WARNING: This regedit turns off SSL for e-mail, so if you are concerned about it,or use another e-mail app that needs it, don't use this fix.
Here are the directions:
Follow these steps using any register editor software for Pocket PC.
1. Open Registry editor.
2. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox
3. Create a new DWORD value "ForceOffSSL" and give it a value of 1, Base=Decimal (tap Edit, and New DWORD Value).
4. Soft-reset device.

Awesome! Thanks a bunch!
Well for whatever reason, once I did that registry edit, I couldn't check either email account that I have in my device. It just kept stalling out at 'Connecting...'
I soft rebooted and attempted it twice with no luck. Any ideas?
Yup-
My fault-just googled for it and saw that regedit. Sorry, pulled a noob error , didn't test it b4 I posted and didn't realize that that it works for WM5. Seems it doesn't work on WM6. My apologies. I just deleted the key after testing it and I'm back to normal logon-sloooooooooooooow

No worries. I did the same to fix it. No problems now.
re slow email, microsoft strikes again
I had the same problem only with 2 comcast accounts. AT&T uses the xpressmail client for the first email account (as xpress mail can only handle one account) and outlook for all subsequint accounts. any account works just fine in the xpress mail and any outlook account is delayed at login. delete xpress mail and all the accounts lag. There is no way around this other than a third party email client. I have had good luck with Profimail (though I hate thier buttons) and flexmail. both are available as trials on Handango. I hate the thought of spending $30. on an email client but if your Tilt is set for fairly constant email updates the lag times add up and kill the battery very quickly. If any one knows of a cost effective (cheap) client let me know.
This worked for me

I realize this is an old post but I just did the same EXACT method of uninstalling the software, soft resetting and deleting/re-creating my comcast account and bam! Instant connection!
Thanks for this post. I'm new to the "Tilt" community but this website has proved invaluable to me.
so as i have posted b4 with my problem
the data just stoped working
i fianlly figured out what the problem was/is again
the new v of im+ 4.53
after install and disconnect of it
i no longer have any data function
im uninstalled no change
emailed them about it..
im thinking some sort of reg problem?
any one of your wing brains know how to fix this?
I never unistalled IM+. I just reflashed with a new ROM and installed it. I suggest you do the same. If you're running the stock T-Mobile ROM, you'll be MUCH happier anyways.
It may be, bc the moment IM+ stops using the data connection, it tells the phone to disconnect it. Try going to the comm manager before and after you run IM+ and see if the data connection is open before and then check it after. The program might just be closing the data connection and you just need to reactivate it.
Also, if you're convinced the problem lies with IM+, go to their site, and see if there's something in their forum or report it.
http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=im&platform=pocketpc
Personally, I use PALRINGO for instant messaging.
ok, well on a fresh restart of the phone [power cycle] data connection is greyed out. soit seems data is disabled now
further more, if i try to connect right now, and it trys and fails, i dont get calls.. so i have to restart..
last time this happened i flashed up to open touch and still had the same problem
so how do i get the data connection active again, with out making my wing fly into a wall
in commanager "data" is allways greyed out!!!
it is only available for DISCONNECTING.
i don´t know why but it was like this all the time. also with wizard. no way to establish a connection manually. only by using IE or any other gprs-needing program.
yea i noticed the its greyed out after, this is annoying
i emailed shape services - waiting for there mail back now
any one have a install cab for the older version of im+
the one b4 they added myspace being 4.53 [current]
i want to try to set back one version and see if it works
but i dont think it will bc PIE will not connect - with having that totally removed from the phone
as i said this is the 4th time this has happened now and really dont want to go to my 5th repalcement wing..
installing the htc home 5 and black theme has gotten annoying so many times lol
BUMP so people can help me i really dont want to go for a 4th replacement
Damn, you've had to replace your phone four times?

for this same thing every time
data stops working
they send a replacement
atleast some good has come from this. the first time i had to ship the phone i went ot the local ups store, the 2nd time it happened i went and they know me already - had a help wanted sign, filled the app out and got the job
so thanks to defective phones i got a new job... which will be nice when it comes to having to ship the this one back when i get my next replacement..
^Wow. An act of God maybe then cuz these phones are of high manufacturing quality.
Ive had to replace my Wing 4 times since I bought my first one in June.
MMS wouldn't send at all
TouchScreen stopped working
Earpiece stopped working
and I can't remember why it was replaced the other time.
yea on my 4th. im gonan try opentouch and pray. if not the wings going for a flight...
no one has any clues to how to fix this with out a replacement again!?!?
i really dont want to spend another 3 hours on with pda tech for them to say the normal oh its the network sorry, blah blah , ok repalcement
Are you running stock rom? or have you upgraded?
last time this happen i was on stock - went to open touch 2.4 didnt change anything.. so i ruu'ed back to stock b4 i sent it back
it happens on stock..
and stays with any upgrade i do
I dunno man. hard to say without being there personally. The Stock Rom sucks, and on top of that Tmo blocks ports and **** ...
When you installed Touch IT, did you run the network wizard to set up the correct settings?
yea did the whole 9 yards and nothing... phone just ahtes me
i would just go for a sidekick but i went n spoiled myself with the touch screen [this is my first] and i dont think i can go back to something so simple
just need a wing that will work and stay working
I'd say go with the exchange I guess.

I know man, I've been there.
So I have had the ATT Tilt for a few months now. I love it, it does everything I need, how ever a few things are driving me insane about the phone. Please help figure these out.
btw I upgraded to WM 6.1, everything was fine for about 2 weeks and now it is acting up.
1) I know this isnt related to windows mobile upgrade, but when I send a text, is there any way to stop it from notifying me "message sent" alert?
2) This started to happen this past week and has never done it before. I have the device setup to check my att mail. Everything is fine, downloads messages, but when trying to send a message, it tells me "The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and your account information is correct. Then try sending again"
Like I said, everything was fine, until this past week. Never changed any settings, I have a strong 3g signal and I am connected to my home WiFi. If I disconnect from WiFi, it doesnt matter and I still get that error message.
3) When turning the screen display on, sometimes it turns on then off real quick. Its fine if I try it again and is only a fraction of a second, but when it does it 5 times a day, it gets annoying.
4) This is a big one that I cant stand. Every 10 minutes it tells me "you have such and such messages unread" notification. Granted there might be some email that is unread and I understand it, but how do I disable those notifications from popping up all the time??
One more question and it is a bit off topic. Help me understand how a ROM works. If I install a new ROM, that doesnt get rid of WM6.1 but more changes the interface of the pda right? If I change the ROM, will I still have all my normal functions of the pda? (camera, 3g, calender, etc....) Please help me understand how it works and what would be the most stable ROM.
Thanks everyone!
Sounds like someone needs to look at KaiserTweak for at least one problem.
The ROM is everything. It's windows, it's the software on it, the addons.. ALL OF IT. Of course you can add to it yourself but it's everything that you had on your phone when you turned it on after a flash. If there was no ROM at all you would just have empty memory on your phone.
I'm sure someone will have something more scientific to say but thats really all you need to know about that.

What are you using for your smtp server? cwmx.com? If so, that server is notoriously unreliable and has been known to be down for a couple of days. I experienced my last straw several months ago and since then, I have been using my ISP's smtp server (my ISP allows this; not all ISPs do).
Having stated that, though, on a few occasions I had solved the problem by simply deleting the account on my phone and re-setting it up. On those occasions, cwmx was fine; it was just something with my account setup on the phone. Like you, nothing was changed by me, but obviously something got corrupted/damaged somewhere.
My recommendation to you is to use your ISP's smtp server and if you are unable to do so, then try deleting and re-setting up the account on your phone.
I have the same problem with sending emails.
Its not the smtp server, it does not matter what SMTP server it was, but its WM6 itself.
The only way I know to solve it is to delete the email account, and enter everything again. Which is a nuisance because you have to type the email that you wanted to send, all over again.
this looks promising, I am giving it a try once I get home.
Do report as well if you can get it to work.

I've searched and read all there is about this on this forum but it still won't work. I've called t-mobile but all they have said is that they don't have the knowledge to help.
i am able to get my e-mails when on a wi-fi network or active synced with a PC...
i am able to get the internet on the go just no e-mail....I'm using WM 6.1 ([PDACorner] Ultimate-X.V1 -21068|D3D|M2D|Enhanced Version)
would another ROM help make my e-mail work?
please help
details
Are you using the POP protocal for Gmail or the IMPA4 version. My next question is what radio version are you using? I have PDACorner Ultimate V21, and use radio 1.64.24.26 on TMobile and have noticed intermittently I've had to turn data off and back on sometimes to get any internet, not just email. I am no expert, but perhaps the radio version you are using might be the problem.
i've tied all variations of gmail settings, POP and IMPA4. i have radio version 1.65.16.25, could you put a link to the same radio your using.
i just don't get it, my internet works always just never my e-mail.
i've also tried setting up mt BT Internet e-mail with no luck
I'm using PDAcorner v.21 as well and the 1.65 radio - no issues with Gmail at all whether using wifi or data connection. As for setup, I let it auto-configure in the email client.
Will likely update to Ultimate v.1 later today.
i haven't stated but i'm using T-Mobile UK....could it just be a UK thing, or am i just unlucky?
I've now updated my rom to Ultimate v.1 and everything work perfectly, e-mail, MSN...everything....
WOOT! i am so happy now
is this with the data plan or t-zone hack.
I am trying to do the t-zone hack(which worked fine on my shadow) but whenever I put the proxy into the network settings it disappears... anyone know why the proxy would just disappear?
Try gmails Java app. It works great. It works on http/https.
i have unlimited web'n'walk package.
I've never heard of this t-zone hack, but i am curious about it

web-n-walk is a euro thing and the t-zone is for the US. the t-zone hack is just setting a proxy up in your phone to allow it to access more of the internet then should be allowed, but T-mobile keeps the bandwidth low so it kinda counter acts the low cost thing, and not everything works. Can't steam video and stuff do to the slow speed and sites that use encryption usually time out, but I don't care about all that.
I hit the rom thread up on this issue so I'm waiting for them to get back to me...
Hi ive been following Easiest Step-By-Step Android Tutorial for the Vogue
I have spl 2.31 COke
The tar on the sd card in the phone in the andboot folder
Ive used rom update utility with the latest 240 nbh (i also tested older ones with no success)
When the phone boots up it vibrates with the green light, 2 sec later it is orange light and 2 vibrates, the it boots into into linux i get no message telling me to hold volume up or the center button. Instead it runs through some code and ends with "rebooting in 3 seconds"

I get the same error when trying from a sd card too.
This may be unrelated, but on windows mobile when the phone goes to sleep, i cant get out of it without restarting the phone. Ive tried tapping and holding every button. Its incredibly annoying. For now i have sleep disabled, and have to charge more often.
Im thinking my windows mobile is corrupt, so i may revert back to the locked rom, hard reset and start over...again
anyways, here is the error in more detail on my error in linux (attached)
btw nothing happens after 3 seconds

What radio do you have, try updating to the latest version? It's crashing while initialising the real time clock. This could happen if you have an old radio.

I mean the error. For the problem, flash the latest radio. I had the same problem on my kaiser when I used a 1.65 radio.
Fixed (kinda)
I fixed all my problems. It may have been the radio as suggested, but i decided to start from scratch.
I flashed back to the locked Verizon rom
Made sure everything worked (sms, mms calling, data)
Unlocked with coke
Installed NFSFAN's Rom
Then Android, which works great now
My radio is 3.77. Im sure its not the latest but its working
I dont have a data plan, but im trying to get mms and gps working.
Its weird i can recieve mms but not send.
gps doesnt work at all

gps is a pain in the ass without being able to use agps
I know, my current network doesn't have AGPS support. Takes forever in windows. A bit faster in android though. I just leave it on overnight with gps test and in the morning, it see a couple of satellite. I then take it outside for a while then I get about 5-6 satellite in lock
