I've tried searching and didn't find anything, but i know i've heard of this bug before...
After about a day my internet explorer will not load any pages. It will show "Done" and just have a white screen. Only way to fix is to soft reset. My internet works fine otherwise (emails come in, HTC weather updates) but QuickGPS also fails to download its updates (and kindly notifies me at 2 in the morning). Is there a fix for this, besides using opera? Not that i don't like opera, but the java security warnings are really annoying when you want to look something up real quick....and i would like QuickGPS to be able to update automatically.
Thanks.

Please DO search the Wikiif you have problems like this. In the MIDlet Bible, I've explained how you can get rid of these - see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The (Java) MIDlet Bible . Also, you'll want to read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1665380&postcount=4 on signing
Thanks, i'll try that for opera. Anyone know how to fix IE though?
I have just started experiencing the EXACT same problem as the OP. A search of the forum brought back only this thread. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Any solutions? Thanks!
Are you using a tilt on AT&T???
Most likely your internet settings got messed up FOr AT&T all you need to do is use the restore hidden proxy cab, also DL the remove Hidden Proxy cab. For other carriers you'll need to redo the conection settings manually or search for a setting cab.
Yes, it's a tilt on AT&T. If I do a soft reset I can pull up my google homepage again.
Same problem here. I have never found a solution other than a soft re-boot. Very annoying.
I have an Att Tilt also and have recently been experiencing the exact same problem with PIE.
Quick GPS send 'connection failed' message when I tried to refresh data. It is done through AS and 3G as well. Any correct solution?

So, I don't have this problem but I know how to fix it because I've read all the pinned topics. Just for kicks I ran a search of "QuickGPS failed" and what do you know, I found the answer. Just a tip.

Looks like you need another tip, start with the thread that says "quickgps on the kaiser *FIX*"
While you're at it, watch this video

Use Kaiser Tweak to fix the Quick GPS problem
1.Download the Kaiser Tweak
2. Look for Tools (in the Kaiser Tweak), select the 'Default QuickGPS Setting', select 'OEM Settings (Def/Adv)'.
I hope it will work for those who is having such problem
All the best

Solve problem on HTCTP CDMA Sprint
Hi, I had this problem.
The solution:
Start->Settings->Phone->Services->Location->ON
Good luck.
try to check if quickgps service is started. mine was stopped.
to view services list use some program like fdcsoft taskmanager
A lot of people here have problems with their windows 6.1 and GPS. It seems some people have more problems than others, but someone on this forum has found a registry setting which solves my problem. At least until I soft reset my device, this causes the registry setting to go back to standard.
I’m talking about this post:

This solution helped for me:
The problem was in the registry of QuickGPS.
I changed the region settings of my PPC to Dutch, but QuickGPS doesn’t get this settings. So I assume it’s downloading the wrong GPS information.
After I changed the following registry setting I had a fix almost immediately :
[HKLM] - Software\HTC\QuickGPS\region changed from -- to NL
After using GPS Test I got a fix very fast.
Using:
Kaiser
OS DCS 1.4 WM6.1
R 1.64.06.04

Believe it or not but this works for me as I live in Holland but I think this could work for everyone who has problems regarding 6.1 and GPS no matter what radio you use. All we have to find out what the region codes are.
But this is a temporary fix, as I said soft-reset causes the setting to jump back to ‘--’ again and GPS is very slow whit the fix. Is it possible to create some sort of cab file or setting to set the region setting in the registry to user settings at reboot or wake-up? Or is altering QuickGPS also possible? If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

After thinking about this on my way to work, I came across the fact that since I use KaiserTweak it will set the default QuickGPS settings back, which of course has its region set to "--". So i'm assuming that's why when you reset your phone thats why it resets your settings again
XML file

Then I will look into the kaisertweak’s XML file and try to remove the QuickGPS settings and see if it works. Will keep you guys updated.
edit: Okay, this does not make any difference. So we have to find a way to set the user setting on every wake-up or boot. Does anyone know how to do this?

QuickGPS runs as a service (a very annoying one if you don't disable the audio & popup and vibrate notification immediately ).
Have you killed QuickGPS via task manager before editing the registry and then soft resetting? (I use dotfred's, best task manager + utils proggie out!)
If the application is re-writing the registry constantly with the settings it started with, then that may be the reason why editing the settings doesn't work and why it also doesn't stick.
Give that a try...
Hope this helps!

Hi _Alex_,
Thanks for your input.
I did try that, but unfortunately it still does not keep the same settings.
What I did was soft reset, change registry, soft reset - Then I had noticed that it kept the settings, but then I did a complete shut down and power up and then again, registry settings were back to '--"
I'm using the standard ATT ROM and the wierd thing for me is that I used the GSP (TomTom) on Tuesday with no issues. I tried to use it today and am unable to connect at all to the GPS via TomTom, Google Maps, or QuickGPS.

But did you kill QuickGPS before editing the registry and proceeding to the soft reset? It runs as a hidden service, which is why I recommend using dotfred's task manager, because the standard HTC task manager might not show it running.

No, still did not work. But thanks for trying, and yea that task manager shows a lot of programs that you can't see running
If you use Alexs kitchen, i think you can edit the Rgu file under region to reflex where you are and cook the package back into your rom and it would always reflex the region you choose?
I've not tested it, but would a MortScript in the startup folder not do the job?
I made a little MortScript and added it to startup:
Code:
While (1)
Sleep (60000)
If NOT regKeyEqualsString ("HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region", "SE")
RegWriteString ("HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region", "SE")
EndIf
EndWhile
This works and keeps the "SE"-setting (for Sweden), but having the script running constantly isn't exactly optimal as it uses processing power and thus adding to battery-drain. Anyone have any ideas on a different way of making the script, which is more effective/power-saving? Or is there an even better way to make the registry key stick?
Hi all, after reading numerous articles about how to fix my issue with GPS, I've managed to find a fix using the UK radio rom compatible with Dutty's 6.1 rom. What I found out was the my first lock always never locked or took forever. So, what I did was go to the registry and left the key:
"HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region" to "--"
Then for the first time, after a hard-boot, (power off/on), I had to do this once:
1. Start up GPSTool
2. Change the setting to "Warm Start" and click "open".
3. Leave the app running and open up my TOMTOM application.
4. Give it about a minute or two and then it would lock, no problems.
5. I then, exited out of TOMTOM and closed the GPSTool.
So, for the next time I need to start a GPS, enabled tool, I would just start it up and no problems, it locks right away, until the next hard-boot. Then I would do this again. Kinda stinks, but this was the ONLY working solution for now because I don't feel like flashing my phone again. I have many apps installed and it takes forever to reinstall everything. Hope this was helpful for some people. Enjoy!

Well, looks like GPSGate fixed another phone... hehe, very happy now!! Thanks all for mentioning the program!

I don't understand the link between:
- the registry key "HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region"
- and what you said about GPSTool
In the end how do you solve the problem with the region ?
Chris
The GPSTool is built into the Dutty's 6.1 ROM. Don't get that confused with the GPSGate application. They are two seperate apps.
In order for this to work, I set had to set my the registry entry "region" from "US" to "--". The full path location is listed above. I think when I ran the QuickGPS utility, it set my region to "US" in the registry. You will have to regedit it back to "--" then try what I did, or it may not work. It didn't for me until I changed it back to default, which is "--". I remember reading somewhere here that a "warm boot" was clearing the RAM within the GPS hardware, so I played around with the idea of it running, while starting up a GPS enabled application and got it to work.
But I eventually decided to use the GPSGate application which solved my problem, without having to run the GPSTool method. Note that I got a quicker lock, after regediting the region area back to "--" and running the GPSGate application. Usually the first lock would never happen or take well over 10 min. Now, the first lock is with 1-2 min. which is fine for me and every subsequent time I need to use a GPS enabled application, it would lock right-away, within seconds, until the next hard-boot (power off/on). Hope that clears things up a little.

Hmm good solution now its takes less than a min to start tomtom. thanks.
Is this problem in all wm6.1 roms....Im certain that this is the issue with mine as once i downloaded data my fix was much more rapid then without (1.5-2.5mins, no tall buildings around clear line of sight). Any wm6.1 not have this issue??

Hi all,
I installed KaiserTweak yesterday, and although I think its a great application, Pocket Internet Explorer won't connect to any links. I don't know if it's related or not.
Firstly, the home page won't open, and no links open when selected in Favourites -- its says connecting at the bottom, and 0%.
I can connect with Opera, but I still like to use IE for some pages.
Anyone experienced this?
Thanks guys,
Ratzz
Does it look like its loading and then nothing comes up after it finishes real quick? I think this is a known issue. Forgot where I saw the fix. I just soft reset and its back.
Yep, thats it - tries the s/r but didnt fix.
I'd love to find that thread you mentioned...
Thanks for the info...

I had this problem on WM6.1 ROM with ce-star installed, PIE won't load any pages with this combination.
have you tried clearing the cookies and cache files? maybe a clean up is in order
All cleared up, but still no connection.
No error message, just a blank screen.
Any other ideas guys?
Not sure if Kaiser Tweak does this but did you change the location of where PIE stores the temp internet files. Also, try going back to the tweak and resetting everything to default. (for testing)
If you are using ATT to connect a hidden proxy has to be enabeled, don't know if that applies to T mobile as well.
i am having a similar problem with my IE. only difference is i cant seem to get an active internet signal for anything. it was working one second then not working the next. i cant send/recieve email or anything. any ideas guys??

If using T-Mobile DO NOT enable hidden proxy.
It's funny how I just responded to you with this cause now I'm in the same boat! s/r does not fix. Working one day, gone the next. Now I've gotta search for the thread I saw with the fix. Are you using the latest ROM from AT&T for the tilt..?
SOLUTION...
Its easy just don't use your SD to keep Temp, cookies, history, etc...
I was having the same problem until that changes.
Where do you change theses settings.. I know... NOOB question. I have thought I saw it somewhere but now I cant find it...

Or you could check in Tweak under PockectIE >Proxy Auto Detect> Enabled (proxy = disabled)
This setting solved my problem along with all the good folks here on xda!! I'm a NOOB but this worked for me.. I had everything else working and had used Opera Mini 9.5 beta and Opera Mobile successfully but could not get IE to load a page. It would act like it was loading, display 0%, but nothing happened. Hope this helps..
ATT Tilt
Rom: Dutty's 3.08...? (WM6.1)
Tweaks for pockey IE..? I did'nt see that option. Only general, memory, & security options under tools in IE. Is this located somewhere else or is it a CAB tweak..? Thanks.
I'm having the same problem, has anyone found a solution yet?
Hi folks
I'm unable to use Internet Explorer on my Kaiser as it freezes the device as soon as I try to visit any website. It hangs with the "Opening..." status message
Does anyone know a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!

In your settings find disable proxy button, this worked for me.
Thats because temp files and cookies are being stored on the mem card
both of you are assuming things.
I also used to have that same problem. I then replaced a webview.dll file and that solved the problem. I think that the .dll was supposed to help something with PIE opening large website or something like that. It's been awhile but if you search for it you should be able to find it. Not sure if this is the same solution for you but you can try it.
I did not change the temp file or cookie location. The proxy settings where not tampered with either. IE simply began freezing after a few months
I did however manage to find a temporary solution. If I rotated the screen by sliding out the keyboard, back and forth, it did work at times.
Now that I've updated to HTC's new WM6.1 ROM everythings back to normal again
Thanks for your help and suggestions!
