Installed Opera and it works fine.
For some reason, IE doesnt seem to use my GPRS connection to connect to the internet. If I enable Wifi, it works as well.
I noticed this trouble after flashing the rom to Dutty's TouchFlo AT&T beta 2. IE displays "Locating" in the status bar. After a couple of minutes I get the pop up message "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later."
I changed my network setting to use the same GPRS provider for both internet and private networks.
I can active sync with my exchange server. I can get weather updates. I can RDP my exchange server. All signs of internet connectivity are present.
I can live with Opera, but it beats me why and where in the registry is this set.
I have googled and researched on the net, most i found was a registry setting that pointed to the user agent. but i later found out that it wasn't necessarily causing the issue. It just instructed the site that you were a mobile device and too spit out a mobile page if available.
Your help is appreciated!
Update
Ok this issue is resolved when i reverted to the original HTC Kaiser ROM...dont know why this happens only with dutty roms.
Giving Custel Roms a shot to see if this is still an issue
IE Cannot Browse Internet via GPRS/3G
I have exactly the same issue with my HTC 8525 Cingular with the original WM 6 ROM from HTC Web Site.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

I'm kinda in this boat as well, it works 1/2 the time on my stock AT&T Tilt ROM. I have noticed that if I do a soft reset, it will normally work.

Call your carrier and ask if there are any reports with GPRS/3G access at the area where you have problems. Sometimes a faulty cell transmitter can cause this.

I'm reasonably sure it's the phone, happens at home, happens at work, happened on vacation in both San Antonio and South Padre Island.
From what we have heard on here for US settings you may to disable 'Use Proxy settings' for your connection. That may help.
IE Cannot Browse Internet ...
so sorry guys but i may be posting this under an inappropriate post...
but my problem here is that i cannot browse Internet via active sync USB connection. it is giving me an error saying "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later".. this is strange but i was able to browse before. this happened suddenly and i haven't changed any settings. Tried remedies posted on other forums, how ever it dint work for me, Appreciate if any one could help me.
cheers
It happens because it is a AT&T based rom. They orinally configured the rom to use a Proxy server. There is a program i have which unregisters the proxy from the registry and Walla!!!!!
It happeed to my WM6, same here can use IE to surf internet by GPRS or USB, after disable proxy setting, is bck to normal, thanks!!
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Internet settings\EnableAutoDetect = 1
It works!!!
I had similar issues with Orange in the UK.
Received phone on Dec 7th, worked an absolute dream til the 11th when started dropping calls (issues with 3g network) and unable to connect to the internet via IE though Blackberry/Opera could still connect.
Well, after 3 handset replacements and everyone at Orange having no idea I think I figured it out. It's the Blackberry software. It seems to 'trick' IE into thinking there is a present GPRS connection, but obviously the Blackberry connection seems to use different broadcast ports where as other apps like Opera actively try to 'lock on' to a valid GPRS signal.
So, long post short... Spend the $24 and get Opera and leave IE to be confused by itself. Oh, and don't expect the 'tech support' at Orange to ever know what's going on!
Which program

hello there,
When I try to run messenger with only the normal phone radio active G (not 3G) it doesnt work. When I plug in my USBcable, it also works. It also works over WLan. (wich I guess is WiFI)
Im on the Dutch 1.93 Rom. Msn Version: 10.6.0039.1300
bump
still haven't figured it out..
i'm in the opposite boat... cant get it to work over wifi...
stupid thing... i can browse net using opera / IE but it tries to use GPRS when i have a good wifi connection!!!
Newer Windows Live always tries to connect using your default Internet Connection even when you are already online. To solve this, you need to go to:
Start->Settings->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks. Change everything to My Work Network.
With this, Windows Live won't try to connect when you have active internet connection. The problem now is, if you have no active internet connection, it will force your device to connect to your gprs/3g but will fail to work. You will need to reset the setting above to your gprs/3g connection.
Hello guys!
I have a problem with connecting to internet on my diamond since 3 days!
With internet sharing i can connect my notebook to internet without any problems and with full HSDPA-Speed.
But all applications on the diamond, which needs a data connection, wont work! Eg. weather update, skype, opera, google maps, iexplore,....
If i connect it to my notebook with active sync, internet will work on the mobile!
I've tried different radios; with all exactly the same problem!
Device:
XDA Diamond 300
1.40 OliNex HardSPL
Duttys 2.03 Rom (i think v.4)
I hope sb can help me with this problem!
TIA Ennsi
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
choose my isp
or whatever your isp settings use in the dropdownbox
and you're set it's not
a radiostack issue at all but a matter
of your phone being set to force to only
use my home network
I've tried this, but it's the same as before! =(
Another thing i've realized is that, when i want to go an a website (google.com), it jumps from 3G to H. Then the arrows come twice and disappear again (and the reception bar is shown). In the same moment the "ERROR! Network Problem" appears!
If anybody is interested, i've found the reason why i couldn't connect with the internet with 3G!
It's because i have used a specific IP address in the WIFI-Network Card. It actually happend with WIFI off!! Very strange!
Thank you, that solved the problem I was fighting with for months. In Spain we have 2 servers on Telefonica so the programs were confused.
Cheers
i have been looking for a while for a solution for the problem of the windows live msenger and i didn't find any solution for it in any thread but after all of that serching i think that i found somthing or i could be described as the main issu of the problem , i found that when i try to sign in using gprs i have the same eror like every body else had which is that is a conection problem and that msn can not sync but when am connected with wifi it syncs normly and sing in normaly so i think that the problem is that when connected with gprs raphael dose not obtain an ip so maybe this the problem so if any body can confirm this or help me understanding the problem beter pls heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
hello dude
i also became crazy with this messenger problem : connecting fine over wifi, and never connecting on gprs...
in the end, i came using another app for msn : palringo, it connects well on msn (and many more but i dont use them, only msn.. the skype app is running well on gprs for me..) with gprs..
i know i would prefer use the genuine windows live app too, but it never worked !
so if you have some news i'm also interested
have a nice day bro.
