hey guys, i was wondering if its just me, but i have a htc tilt, unlocked for tmobile and i have been using tzones just fine. however, yesturday after hardresetting the phone, i seem to have problems connecting. the settings were all correct and it has been the same that i have alwyas used. it gives me the page cannot be displayed because of errors message and on opera i get the access is restricted error. its weird becayse when i click on the E icon, it says i am connected. it is very on and off because from time to time i test it, and it works, but majority it gives me the error. is anyone else getting this whos using tzones with their tilt? thanks
the internet and all works fine for me still. just checked.
the only thing im on this board for now is i cant seem to fix my Gmail. It randomly stopped receiving emails and i cant get it back.
still working fine for me. you should check with Tmo cause sometimes they have to reset the connection from their end for you.
thanks guys
it seems really weird, everytime i delete my existing connection and remake it with the same settings, it works for one round, few minutes later it stops working, delete, remake and works again, and it loops like that. i cant figure out whats going on.
Are you using the wap.voicestream.com connection with the proxy settings or did you change the settings to epc.tmobile.com? You might want to try epc without the proxy settings. The only problem that I have had is that PIE does not load any pages. It does not affect me because I use Opera instead. Skyfire now works on the T-Zones plan without the proxy settings (a little slow, but works).

its weird, like i said, the settings works one time, then it stops working like few mintues after. opera doesnt work either. i will try the epc settings, but i just find it weird that it works everytime i create a connection, connect once, works, then it stops. have to keep deleting and recreating if i wanan visit any sites. such a pain.
I was just looking in the epc and noticed the PIE freeze and what not and the system just lags.
just tried the EPC settings, so far everything seems good. thanks a lot. i wont be charged anything extra other than for t-zones right? i wonder why wap.voicestream.com went down on me the way it did =/
so you didnt have to use proxy bknewtype?
no you won't be charged anything extra. i have tzones too and use epc.

i used the original proxy settings with the epc access point and it works. im going to try to take off the proxy settings and report back.
it seems to work without the proxy. however, im using PDAS ultimate corner v16 ROM, and i tap the internet launcher from the wiglet, it doesnt launch. but with the proxy it does. i have to manually navigate to the program to run it, but it works. wonder if the proxy has an effect on this?

Hello all.
I just got my Kaiser last week with the Official HTC ROM and I am have noticed that it's struggling to retain proxy settings for my work network.
when setting my work network connection to private network and then then My Isp to connect to the internet I set proxy settings to point to our proxy server, but once I exit from the connections settings it changes the settings to only be Socks settings, it will not retain the http settings and thus I cannot connnect to the external web, only if I leave the connections open will it retain those settings it seems.
I also find that it seems to be a bit flaky in that combined scenario, it doesnt switch properly between work network and ISP as it is supposed to. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour, is there any reg tweaks that can solve this problem?
A couple of my colleagues have the HTC Touch and they seem to have similar problems.
Cheers
LBN
Am I the only one to experience this issue, is the issue covered somewhere else anyone?
No, you're not the only one to experience this. That just happened to me also. My phone was working fine for the last week and a half and then all of the sudden I couldn't get weather panel to update over GPRS and when I checked my connection settings the HTTP proxy had disappeared. I put it back in and it hasn't disappeared again as of yet though.
Well, I figured out what's causing the problem, but not sure how to fix it. Activesync seems to be disabling the HTTP proxy whenever you're connected and try to connect to the net.
I tried to contact HTC Technical support too to get some more information on this, but surprise surprise they haven't gotten back to me except with a canned reply of being in contact soon. I just to own an ETEN M600 and Eten was horrific in customer support, guess HTC is not far off that
I still haven't figured out why it's doing this, hopefully HTC will shed some light on the problem though. I'm not sure how you have yours set up, but the way I have mine set up is that I have 2 connections set up, 1 with the proxy and one without and switch between the 2 when I need one or the other, that way I don't have to re-enter the proxy each time. There seems to be another problem connected to this that I'm not sure if you've noticed or not and that is if it removes the proxy like it's been doing it also disables any other connections you have set up, meaning that if I accidentally leave it on the proxy connection and WM removes the proxy and then I switch back to the other connection without the proxy it won't work until I reset the phone.
So any response from HTC yet LBN?
losing proxy settings
try to control the settings on the internet explorer of your desktop, on my phone activesync sincronize the proxy settings of IE to the mobile network settings.
Bye
Manux
The HTC crowd are a <censored swearwords>, not one word despite contacting them twice, very annoying....
I'm guessing that what ManuX said is probably what it's doing, although I haven't tried it yet to see for sure. The thing is to try and figure out how to stop it from doing that. I never use IE on my computer, but there are apps that I have that do so adding the proxy to IE is pretty much out of the question since all my compter apps would stop working then.
The same is happening with me. I add the proxy settings and re-enter the "Connection" panel, and poof! No more proxy. The SOCKS is kept but the HTTP is gone. Even when I remove the SOCKS, it comes back!
I've got the same problem with my Kaiser...Moreover when directpush is active, PDA make a soft reset and a lot of people have this problem. Have you solutions?
Excuse me for the bad English but I'm french.
Sitting in the same boot, but no idea either on how to solve this problem
anyone have any updates on this?
Same problem!!!!!
I have the same issue also. Is there a third party application that could be used?
I've seen similar, but slightly different behavior. Everytime I connect to activesync (via bluetooth or usb) the 'proxy' setting was being set. This caused an issue for my 3G connections and I had to clear the incorrect proxy setting after each activesync connect.
I tracked this down to the 'proxy' setting in internet explorer 7. If a proxy is set in ie7 (tools->internet options->connections->LAN Settings) the value is pushed to the device. As soon as I cleared the setting in ie7, the problem stopped occuring.
ive just updated to windows 6.1 and still the same problem
[SOLUTION]
The problem of losing the proxy settings after connecting to ActiveSync can be resolved as follow:
Connect your PPC to ActiveSync and let it snychronize.
After synching open the connection settings on your device and re-enter all your proxy settings.
If ActiveSync wants to synchronize after that again, just let it continue.
After the last sync you can disconnect your PPC from the cable
You should now be able to connect to ActiveSync without setting loss
I found the solution some time ago, but forgot to post it.
Anyway it works fine for me and should for all of you, too.
Cheers!
I dont lose proxy setting when connecting to active sync. I lose them when open interent exploror.
I am trying to hook to a public WIFI at work. The only issue is it requires a specific proxy.
So here is what I do and see happening:
Before attaching to network, I go into Connections and set up the proxy server for 'My Work Network'.
Then I go in and set up the Wireless Settings, and for Connects to I select Work. It connects to the wireless, but when I go into IE it will not connect to anything.
So with the connection up, I go back Settings/Connections, and My Work Network has nothing in it for a proxy for HTTP. I add it and save it. But I still do not connect to anything in IE.
Oh, and one other thing: I don't see how to tell if I am getting DNS server settigns. I can see what my IP and Default router are, but not DNS. I doubt this is my problem, but would be nice to see if I have a DNS server.
Any ideas?
Well, it seems to have resolved. Not sure why.
I do still interest in knowing how to determine the DNS settings.
I spoke too soon.
It has disappeared again. I am finding it inconsistent. Will soft resets affect this?
I still interest in feedback on this.
Another bit of information I just thought of, in case anyone has any ideas...
The time it worked, it had the pop-up acking which network to hook to, and I just ignored it, and it hooked to the public one, and it worked. The times it doesn't work, it hooks to the public network, but the pop-up doesn't come up.
Hoping for some ideas here...
This is a problem with WM 6.0. It's has been fixed a little bit in 6.1, but instead of the settings disappearing IE doesn't use the proxy settings.
My suggestion for now, GIVE up trying to use the proxy settings.

I guess this means I cannot use WIFI if a Proxy is required, which on anything other than strictly public, it ususally is.
This is a nasty bug in WM6. You could "temporarily" resolve this by doing the following reg hack. (After set the Proxy in control panel/Connections)
HKLM\Comm\Connmgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4C98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}\HTTP-{18AD9FBD-F716-ACB6-FD8A-1965DB98B814}
Set key "Type" as 1 (DWORD)
After doing the above hack, enter the Connections then exist without doing anything. (To refresh the system, I suppose.)
After the refresh, you should be able to have PIE access outside network.
However, as soon as your ActiveSync works (via Wifi or USB) or you sometimes you enter the Connections again, the setting will be gone (not stick) and you need to reapply.
Hope this works
Thanks. I guess I'll suffer w/o it at work. That's too much of a pain in the butt. I synch a lot all day long.
I appreciate the input.
I supposed I'll be in for a hard reset/new rom one of these days on a MS update. Sounds like 6.1 is still not solid for this either.
For the proxy and ip settings, please try to use use my wifi profiles.
Your wlan network must connect to work.

Cool. I'll give them a try, and post back how it goes. Thanks!

I've installed the WiFi Profiles and have posted my status in your thread here at post 54.
For anyone following this, I have not been successful. The proxy disappers even with the profiles mentioned above.
He had not heard of the bug that makes them disapper, and has not had such complaints before with his software. Interesting.
He is on a 6.1 rom, and I'm on 6.0.
At any rate...still suffering no proxy.
FYI...here is another thread on this topic. It has helped some it seems, but not me.
When I load it up, skyfire forces my phone to "connect" to the internet, even though it is already connected, then skyfire can't connect and it gives me some error about not having internet connectivity. I "believe" this is due to like proxies or something on the phone? Can someone point me in the right direction please?
ok, so i found the cabs...but it doesn't make a difference. Why can't this software just auto detect that the connection exists already..........ugh! I really want to try this.

The proxy makes no difference it is built into the software. My first beta connected to My ISP even though MediaNet was main connection with no problems. The latest release 0.6 has an issue when you have something other than My ISP as main connection it will not connect. I have e-mailed them long ago on the issue and am waiting a reply. **even if My ISP IS connected, but not the main connection it still won't work, the connection HAS to be My ISP** Kind of annoying having to change it from MediaNet to get my Cingular Video and MediaNet homepage to My ISP when I want to use Skyfire, hopefully they will fix it in a new release.
Connection doesnt have to be MY ISP. Mine goes through MediaNet and works fine. I did have to turn off the proxy to get it to connect. Also for the guy having trouble with the Cab. If you didnt sign up for the beta it wont work. The program is connected to your phone number and when you go to authenticate to the server you get denied if you dont have an account. Gd Luck
Hi, I have used this site for around 2 years, and often found answers…..however, this one I cant get round…I hope someone can help..here goes :-
Have tried the following on all of these ROMS
RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe
SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-ROM-v2-0
SwiftBL-Diamond-ROM-v3-0
When trying to sign into MSN Messenger I don’t even get to the “enter Name/PW” section, it simply says “There was a problem signing you into messenger. It may be the service or you may be in a place with bad reception. Please try again later”
When trying to add a mail client (hotmail) I enter my ID/PW and then it says it has found the settings for Hotmail. I press next and it says that again it cant connect
When trying to sign into Windows Live it says it cant connect
I have evoked IE and opera to ensure I have internet connection
If I turn on WIFI, all connect perfectly.
I have not only tried the different Roms, but also tried other versions of Windows live cabs with no luck
Can anyone help?
I've only tries the TLR rom but i have the same issue, cannot connect using GPRS or 3G but connects fine using Wifi or via ActiveSync. Im also on Tmob
its to do with T-Mobile, they have limited the connection you get when dialing from the handset.
I had the same problem. You can phone T-Mobile and see if they can sort it out for you.
Cheers,
re Phoning T-Mobile
I did phone T-Mobile, and they said its not to do with them. I used to have the MDA Compact III and that works with MSN etc, and if i turn that phone back on with my tmobile chip, it works, so guess it isnt T-Mobile, unless they can block specifc requests from specific phones?

i was having problems with my MDACIII, thats when i found out it was T-Mobile.... dont use 3G or GPRS anymore, just WiFi, so cant say if it happens on my Diamond...
I just had a fiddle around and i may have fixed this issue.
Settings - Connections - Connections - Click Manage existing connections - Proxy settings tab - Untick "this network uses a proxy"
I can now sync my hotmail fine.
Re Proxy / connection settings
wahoo - thats fixed it
Thanks alot James, i will no longer throw the phone out of the window
Excellent
Paul
Have a t-mobile mda compact iv(t-mobiles diamond version)you cannot do this fix on it because the internet connection is disabled by t-mobile from altering manual,it says it is preconfigured and manual setting is disabled.very clever of them
yeh
UPDATE
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/download-en-us.mspx
just installed live messanger from this microsoft site(a new version just released) and it works a treat on the t-mobile compact iv(diamond).only problem no messanger is included,this wasnt a problem for me because i had a stand alone version i purchased a few years back,i installed it and it worked ok

You can just redo the connection wizard also
Sure you didnt untick "This network connects to the internet"?

Nope, followed the instruction to the letter!
Also when I was using the standard T-Mobile ROM this following worked...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2422579&postcount=14
But now I’m using a custom ROM, I cannot get it to work...
Just a quick update, I too got it working!
You got to turn off 3G in the Comm manager, reset, then remove proxy setting, reset again, then syncronise via GPRS, then switch on 3G in the Comm manager, then reset then it should work!
You can probably reduce the number of soft resets, but that is what I did so left it in there...
As my hotmail and messenger is now working, im not going to fiddle with it. But if someone is still having issues could you try disabling HSUPA. Keep HSDPA enabled.
I know that I have disabled this somewhere along the way and it might be playing a factor in getting the above mentioned apps to work.
For people who have custom ROMs only it can be found in Settings > Connections > Advance Network Icon.
Post back here if you have any success for others to try...
Everything is working for me straightway whether it's the stock or the latest htc rom. I didn't have to fiddle with any settings.
I found this issue about 3 weeks ago, internet completely stopped working so i contacted T-Mobile and they said they were having issues and it would be fixed within a couple of hours, since it came back up some sites worked, some things wouldnt, my push email wouldnt work. Ended up unticking the proxies and it started working again perfectly have found i've had to do this with every ROM reflash so i think they perhaps have changed something at their end which is causing some issues.
i've been getting the same problems for about a month, funnily enough its only when boss changed account from normal to web and walk (had a 800 phone bill as thought wnw was enabled on the account already!)
tried disabling the proxy and it still fails sync'ing, the weird thing is that it does actually sync SOMETIMES.. ie i wake up in the morning and it has randomly synced once or something. so god knows what tmobile are up to
I have the MDA compact IV, Im using Dutty ROM V 1.5. had the same problem with MSN messenger and hotmail, contacted the T mobile support but they could not help me.
Now everything is working following just disabeling the proxy
But Im still not able 2 make the MSN 2 work on my laptop when I connect 2 the internet using the mobile phone! is there a fix for this problem?
when I try 2 connect I get this error: we were unable to sign u into windows live messenger, possibly because of a problem with your internet connection. please tru again later.
error code: 80072745
I don't know how it works on Windows but in Linux I have to transport MSN through HTTP mode when I'm connecting over T-Mobile . Is there a way to do that in Windows?
Similar issues here. When the proxy setting was enabled, I couldnt connect to either hotmail or gmail. When I disabled, gmail started working fine but so far I have only managed to sync with hotmail once!
I wish there was an easy fix for this because its a pain in the rear!
Hi,
I am new to this forum and a complete novice as far as functionalities of Windows Mobile is concerned.
I am using an AT&T Tilt (unlocked) in India, and everything seems to be working fine apart from Internet Explorer. All of my GPRS bases applications are working fine (weather tool, Opera Mini browser, etc.) apart from the Internet Explorer.
When using IE with my normal GPRS connection, it seems to get hung and displays an error msg
"The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. check the connection and try again."
BUT the Internet Explorer Works absolutely fine with a WiFi Connection.
Can anyone please help me with this?
Am sorry if this is a repost, have checked the queries and sticky's couldnt find anything on those
The thing I normally see in response to these sort of problems is to uncheck proxy from somewhere. I just don't know where from.
Have you always had this problem?
Yes I have always had this problem.
It would be great help if you could help me through this. I have been using Opera Mini ever since I got the TiLt.
Does it have something to do with the AT&T unlocking and some applications not working coz of it (but then it shouldnt work with the wifi network also rt?)
Proxy settings, if you could figure out, please let me know.
ummmm, Start/Settings/Connections/Connections/Manage existing connections/proxy settings/ make sure This network connects to the internet is checked and this network uses a proxy server is unchecked..
unless it does. .
This is just a guess.
Yup the setting read the same as quoted by you...
Have tried every possible thing as far as the setting part of the phone is concerned..
Think would need to go beyond that and do something special
Thats really all I can think of for now.
Try using a better browser, like Opera Mobile 9.5, Opera Mini, Skyfire, Iris, etc, and see if that works. Even on a 5 bar EDGE connection, where PIE fails, all the free browsers I listed above work fine. I find that PIE is only usable on Wi-Fi or 3G with all 5 bars. And even then, it makes me want to cry.
