PIE not working on 3G

Okay, I'm just wondering if there is a setting somewhere that I'm not aware of and hopefully someone could point it out. When I am at home and the phone is connected to my home Network ( WiFi ) Pocket Internet Explorer works just fine. Now turn off WiFi, reverting back to 3G, and Pocket Internet Explorer doesn't function. Just loads blank pages continually. The reason for me thinking it's a setting somewhere is because I also have Opera, which works fine on both WiFi and 3G. So while PIE is oblivious to the World around it, Opera's singing along. LOL! Honestly I wouldn't really even care except I have the mod installed that allows PIE to transfer live video streams to TCPMP thus making YouTube and such work rather well on the device. If that worked in Opera, PIE would never be used on my device. Hehe... So, anyway there's my problem. I eagerly await ideas. Thanks!

No one huh?
Geesh, I hate when I find a problem the technical like crowd can't even answer. :\ That leaves ya with... Technical Support from the... MAN... And we ALL know just how extremely useful / helpful those folks are.

Keep in mind that some people don't LIVE on this forum.. (i do though..) and the members of this forum are from all across the world, so people are on at different times.
Your posts are 13min. apart. If everyone could get their solution within 15min i think people that help out on this site should be paid! but thats not the case...
now to solve your problem; Are you on AT&T? if so i'd recommend finding the disablehiddenproxy.cab and installing that. I had the same probelm and after disabling the proxy everything was back to normal.

if i remember the manual correctly, for wifi you want proxy's off...
for MediaNet you want the proxy on

Firstly, thank you. I will try that.
Secondly, please check the dates of my posts. I realize that people do not live here. And all help is appreciated. I waited 24hrs.. And, by the way, I don't get to live here either. It is sheer coincidence that I happened to check back pretty much 24hrs. later on the button. LOL! Well, pretty close for not really even paying attention to that anyway.

Thirdly...
And thirdly, that is precisely why we all love ya! Disabling the proxy corrected the issue. I think that my phone actually came with that active, I don't recall PIE ever working over 3G... Until now that is. I figured it was simple since, as I said, I have Opera on the device also and it didn't care. It worked no matter how the device was connected to the 'net. Anyway, thanks much!

Pocket Internet Explorer won't work on Tilt

Hi everyone,
I've been searching for a solution for my problem on here through the forum's search and the Google search all day but haven't found one yet so I'm finally throwing my hands up in frustration and posting hoping that some of the very talented and kind folks online can help me out.
I bought an AT&T Tilt last month and the pocket IE worked fine on it when I was using it with AT&T in Northern California. I am using Dutty's WM6 rom and the .17 radio.
I then flew out to Islamabad, Pakistan where I am currently staying. I used the SIM-unlocker found on this forum and everything seemed ok. Pocket IE continued to work on my network here (Mobilink, they have GPRS and EDGE). Then suddenly 2 weeks ago, pocket IE stopped working. Now whenever I try to load a page in it, it just gets stuck at "Locating" and the animation looking for the website keeps going in circles. It never finds the site. I've tried all kinds of different websites and always no luck.
At the same time, Opera works 100% without any sort of problem. Also I am able to use the built-in WM6 e-mail manager to check my Gmail over IMAP over the same GPRS/EDGE connection so I know my connection is fine. Pocket IE still doesn't work. I checked in connection settings to make sure there was no proxy enabled, that both my networks were set to my provider (mobilink)'s connection settings and I double-checked my connection settings with my provider. I feel as if it isn't their fault since all my colleagues are able to use their phones and the Internet and even on my device, the other applications such as Opera and built-in mail work. I also downloaded the Gmail java applet and even that works perfectly.
I'm at my wit's end about what I should do or try that could make a difference and I would sincerely appreciate any help anyone can offer. I've heard of a disablehiddenproxy option but have so far been unable to find that .cab file anywhere that I could download it...and I'm not sure if that fix would apply for me since I am no longer using the AT&T/Cingular network.
Please help! Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi,
I'm back with a solution to my own problem, it seems!
I did find the disablehiddenproxy.cab here and installed it.
I then did a soft reset (pushed the stylus into the little reset hole) and when the phone turned back on, pocket internet explorer is once again working perfectly.
Thank you XDA developers for providing all this information for free!

thanks - you just saved my day.
i was clueless to why my PIE didnt work all of a sudden - and now it works again...

Thanks a million, I got a Tilt to work on Rogers network and everything worked except for IE
this fixed it and now I got it all - awesome

Hi Everybody,,having problems with 3G speed and can't figure out why?
I am in Calgary, with HTC Tytn that I have had for 1 1/2 years. Ever since I could see them experimenting with 3G (could see the icon) I was waiting for the day that I could see the benefits of 3G. Well,, my speed of download is miserable, even with full 3G bars. I have all the proper icons showing up on top, 3G,, and when downloading internet page I see the H icon appear. An aquaintance in Winnipeg, said that he almost gets Wifi speed with 3G.. I have put a new sim card (thought that might be a reason,because it was out of my old blackberry). I am really depressed ,especially when I went to download an internet page on a demo iPhone and was blown away by the speed, which I don't have. I now hve Schaps 4.31 and Radio 1.51,, and basically,since owning the unit have never had the speed. Can anyone possibly help me figure out what is wrong? Perhaps over chat, skype? I have always used Lurch's settings whenever I put in a new Rom, and I feel that all HSDPA is enabled through Schaps config, and elsewhere. Any help would be most welcome. I still love my TyTN,, Thanks for any help you can give to me. I have of course IE browser, but also Opera

worked for me too
But what the heck caused it in the first place.

Wowwww....Thank you so much for the solution mate. Saved me a lot of time. You are awesome!!!

awesome, thanks!
That does fix it for me as well.

Thanks
You just saved me to. PIE stopped working for no reason a few months back. I have been looking for a fix without sucess untill now. Thanks once again!

Gas Addict - another thank you - worked like a charm.
For my education - can anyone explain the hidden proxy issue.
What is it? where did it come from? and where did it go to? and why was the problem intermittent? PIE locked only 80% of the time - sometimes it worked OK only to fail again... Tks again

The hidden proxy, is exactly what is says it is...A hidden proxy. The proxy allows AT&T users to connect to medianet services via their phone's internet connection. If you disable the proxy you will not be able to connect to medianet services (such as typing "home" and it takes you to AT&T's medianet site).
If you are not using AT&T then you should have it disabled in the first place. My guess is that some piece of software enabled the this proxy somehow. All the cab does is reset IE to autodetect if there is a proxy, which can also be done in Kaisertweaks.
Nothing too exciting to reveal, but since all you guys wondered what it did, i thought i'd look and let you know. It's just a provisional xml file that inputs some settings and registry edits.

Did you mean "If you are not using AT&T then you should have it DISabled in the first place"?

yes, that is what i meant
It is fixed

Thank you for the CAB file. The file fixed my IE issue on unlocked ATT Tilt on Rogers Network.

Pocket IE back in line
No idea why my PocketInternetExplorer could all of a sudden only open locally stored .htm files, but nothing on internet anymore. OperaMini 4, OperaMobile 10 and SkyFire browsers continued working without any problem.
A few applications rely on a functioning PIE, so could not be used as a result.
Luckily this .CAB did the trick for me too, many thanks Gass Addict!

Internet Explorer

I have the newest AT&T 6.1 ROM on my Tilt. I've noticed that via WIFI, I can view information on the web through IE, that I can't via the 3G network.
I have a securities practice test site that I enter to study for exams. If I jump into WIFI (home or Starbucks, etc.), I can view the practice test questions. If I'm NOT on WIFI, the test questions don't load...
Can anyone tell me why this happens? And, is there a way around it?
****Skyfire has NO problem at all with OR without WIFI. But I don't like the way the zoom feature with Skyfire shows the material, and I have to adjust it each page. Painfully frustrating. Opera, like IE, does NOT allow the viewing of the test questions either. ONLY Skyfire loads the entire page when NOT on WIFI.
Thanks for your help...

It sounds to me that it is likely a javascript problem. I'm not so sure PIE handles javascript at all.
If the page has javascript it may not display correctly, or possibly not at all.

Thanks for the reply. Here's the thing. It'll work FINE if I'm using the WIFI on my Tilt. It's ONLY when I use the phone (H, 3G) to access the web. It seems that the WIFI connections have something that my H or 3G connection via the phone doesn't. But thanks for the input.
Seems that this is a hard one to figure out. But I appreciate your stab at it with me.

How about coverage? But seriously, have you tried it in other areas?

think U will nid this..
something abt hidden proxy for PIE...
I had the same problem few days back after flashing a rom..
no problems when using opera mini.. only PIE giving problems.

Could be the carrier proxy being used through IE. Naturally via WiFi you cannot use the ATT proxy . Skyfire uses its own proxy thus the issue at hand.
Noticed this issue too on some sites. You could report it to the carrier but dont count on immediate resolution.

Thanks for the reply. I think you guys have cured the IE problem!!!! I JUST loaded the removehiddenproxy cab and the information came up in IE!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Now, Opera STILL doesn't show the information (I would rather use Opera), so if there was a way to do the SAME thing for Opera, that would be COOL! But the cab sure cured the IE problem. Anyone know if there's a "removehiddenproxy" cab that works for Opera?

This makes PERFECT sense!!! Thank you for your help. This means that Opera 9.5 Beta probably has the "hidden proxy" as well! Know how I can remove that other than contacting Opera developers (I don't know HOW I would do that...)?

did you ever sort you issue with opera, as im in the same boat, cant get it to conect to the net, been searching the forums today and still even with disablehidenproxy.cab, cant get it to connect!

XDA to act as modem

hey guys,
I have got the XDA Stella (also known as Kaiser) and i herd you can make this phone act as a modem. basically i got an archos (media tablet with internet) which i want to be able to use the internet on my archos through the phone. only problem is i have no idea how to do this or what to get?? can anyone advise please. it would be through wireless or i can do through USB, but was wondering how to do it.
thanks in advance
Shane

Your trying to use your phone as a computer modem right.

If so what you do is this. link computer to phone via usb.
mine then ask me if i want to internet share i click that then click done. if you dont get that option try going to start/programs/connections/internet sharing
that should do what you need.

Erm he wants to share the connection with an Archos, not with a PC. That won't work.
To the OP: USB most likely won't work, as the Archos certainly won't recognise the Kaiser. On the PC it requires Activesync and its drivers to be installed to work. We never know, you can try running internet sharing onto USB and plug it into the Archos, and see...
Otherwise you'd have to use WMWifiRouter or the manual hack to share the connection over Wifi. Beware that sucks battery down like hell on the Kaiser, don't expect more than 2 hours on a full battery.

Whats the Wifirouter you mean just on a normal computer or is it software to buy for the kaiser, and the manual hack am i likely to get caught by my service provider??
there is a option to adhoc to a computer, i was wondering if there is a way to change that to the archos?
also whats the manual hack or where can i find it??

Hey man all you have to do is use search, this topic has been discussed for at least a year now..
wmWiFirouter is a program that turns your phone into a wifi access point. Again, search has all of that info for you plus tons of other great knowledge.

Thanks got wifirouter working, just cant get my archos 5 to find it now

On the WMWifirouter site there should be a list of devices that will not work.. I think PSP's do not work.

Networking help, gmote related

i have been playing with this application for the past 4 hours
and it will JUST NOT connect! im pretty sure ive reached that point
where you keep trying everything u can, but eventually you end up with
a web of mistakes and have no idea where to begin to finish...so, lets
get to it...
- i am at school. i live across the street from campus, far enough to
where my g1 wont pick up the wifi signal, so configuring the app via
wifi isnt even an option...
so i go to the FAQs and there seems to be a way to operate the program
via the cell network without using a router...great because i dont
have one...but when i read the instructions, it starts telling me
stuff ABOUT a router...
"2.Log into your router and go to the port forwarding section (it
might be called NAT settings, or Application and Gaming). "
...where am i supposed to go to do this? i have set up ICS, i have
googled google for "port forwarding" "nat settings" "nat configuration
in windows xp", ive even used the BS help and support that comes with
windows, im going nowhere. can somebody PLEASE help me figure this
out? i want to use gmote over t-mobiles internet connection, and it seems like you can do this from what the FAQs told me...any help will be appreciated

Yeah the faq doesn't make sense, have you tried the developer directly or checking their google group? They are pretty quick to respond

On my home pc i just needed to know the ip addresss of my machine. Since this is a campus network, its possible that only particular ports are open. the port that gmote uses may be blocked.
The FAQ is a little confusing, but its not that difficult to work out

That is true, given that bittorrent and Ares are known for not running on campus...how do I figure out what ports ARE open?? I guess google will help

cant you just connect to the ip number of your computer?

Thats what Im trying to do, but Im now assuming that the ports are blocked because I cant get thru no matter what. I ran netstat and tried to figure it out but it was Russian to me

From what I understand of the program, you have to be on the same network. I may be wrong, but if you are on a different subnet, then you're SOL.
Like I said, could be wrong, but that's what I heard.
