Hi,
I have my HTC TyTn II here, and I wanted to reflash the ROM, which would of course mean the loss of all data on the phone/PDA.
I have backed up all my regular files (documents, emails, music etc.) but just as I was double checking I had everything backed up, I stumbled on my connections page, and realised that my connection details/login/settings hadn't been backed up (and of course why should they be?). Of course this is where the problem lies, I remember the host and all the information that is given to you, except the password is an obscure one I cannot for the life of me remember, but it is saved to the phone and all I see are ***'s. Is there any way of retrieving this password? I want to have an internet connection after I flash the new ROM, but I don't remember the password. (Is there a registry key I have to look at? Or an application that does it?)
If revealing the password is not possible, is there a solid means of backing it up?
By solid means, I don't mean, "Try this it may work" only to find out it doesn't work and have no connection for ages.
I have full access to the rest of the phone (of course!...in case you were suspecting otherwise...).
I really appreciate any help I receive on this!
If nobody has an answer, I suppose I will have to stick will this slow bloatware filled, old, brick of an OS (im sure you know what im talking about!)
Thanks again,
J250
most of the latest roms have a "connection wizard" that will detect your network and configure your device with the proper data connection settings.
If the rom doesn't have it, you can find that cab on xda-devs and install it
also whats stopping you from calling your provider and getting the settings from them? Finally have you tried searching xda-devs (or google) for your providers connection settings?
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. I should have made it more clear, the settings are not the default providers settings, they are on the phone too, but I know how to obtain those. Also, I did not know windows mobile would automatically try to obtain your settings, thanks for the info
It is an external provider, and I don't feel like rummaging around a mass of paperwork looking for a string of characters! (Only as an absolute last resort).
I have done some more research, and I found PocketAsterisk, which seemed to be perfect in theory, but in practise it didn't work.
Again, any help appreciated!

Subject says it all.
AS works (usually) for a while after reset, but then it just hangs saying "Synchronising" but gets nowhere.
Sometimes killing and restarting AS works, but usually I have to reset the damn thing.
Anyone else having this problem/found a solution? Not sure I'll get any sense from Orange (in fact, I am sure I'll get sod-all sense from them!)
Ferg.
P.S. Got HTC Home, iMate WMP Today, Live Search, Voice Command and many other apps installed. Perhaps it doesn't like Home or so.
More likely its a connection thing.
Try disabling advanced functionality in Start, settings, connections, USB-to-PC
That will make it try a USB connection instead of an IP based one.
Sorry, I should have said I was referring to AS on the device itself - it's Direct Push that's mucked up.
I meant on the device... but that was based on AS with pc
However, if you have an exchange server in the mix, then I would guess it either is losing the connection to the server. What happens if you leave it until it errors? (ie what error code)
Can you sync with the server OK when you do connect with USB to an internet enabled pc?
Well, the funny thing is it doesn't give me an error (or I've not waited the hours required for it to time-out).
The TyTN I have works a lot better under the same circumstances (same Exch, same account, sam SIM card etc, so it would deffo point towards the TyTN II itself.
The only thing left to do, I supose, is to ramp up the Exch logging and see what that says, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope of that.
Thanks for your assistance, unwired.
F.
Ok so its definitely the device...
Do you have signal issues on 3g where you are? Is your network allowing simultaneous voice and data? Have you installed the server certificate OK on your device?
Yeah, all the Exchange stuff is configured correctly - that's my job after all.
No 3G issues (since I use the TyTN from the same place.
Although I did notice recently that I can't actually have adata connection and a call at the same time (with 3G coverage). I guess I should be able to...
F.
sorry to bring up an old post,
having same sort of problem, but only when trying to get attachments. seems to take forever, (5-10 mins stuck on syncing then looks like it gives up) but the attachment is then there, which is crazy as its a 30k word doc which should take seconds.
did you work out any kind of solution?
edit: this is on a clients kaiser
I have worked in IT support for 8 years at the desktop support level. I dont understand all but can usually figure things out. I apologies in advance for being a rookie. I am frustrated with this device and need help!!
I upgraded ATT tilt to Dutty 6.1 Build 19700.duttys 6.1 about 1 month ago and Since I did this I have had a lot of problems. Build has all the goodies and more but since the upgrade I cant get any work done because I am always tweaking in an attempt to get the device working properly. I have tried to reset and reflash sevral times to start all over again but I end up with the same issues.
1. Unable to sync with active sync. I have disabled avast anti and I still am unable to sync. I also added port 990 to firewall and no good. I have re-installed active Sync 5 times. It only works when I play with it and then the device does not stay connected. It boots the connection 1 or 2 minutes after sync
2. No email apps or programs work. I tried the java versions and all. Messaging says error synchronizing and gives this message - "cannot cannect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap settings" My settings are OK as far as I can see. I purposely connect to media net before opening email to make sure the data connection is present. I had full blown HSDPA in NY city yesterday and no email or GPS working.
3. GPS and GPS upgrade is not working. Does GPS use its own radio? Does dutty upgrade break the radio? Not sure what is happening here as well.
4. No you tube video as usual. This has always been broken and remains broken for me. I tried installing flash bundle, codecs, etc.... No good.
I constantly get prompted the below
"cannot cannect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap settings"
Only thing that works is web browser.
Can someone please point me to a good solid working and mostly complete ROM for the US att tilt "kaiser". Maybe this is all I need. I have trouble finding ROM info and whether its current via the site. It gets confusing and I just want to set up once and forget, if you know what I mean. Please provide any links I might need to a fix, rom, tweak, etc..
Please help!
Steve
Steve, I updated to Dutty's ROM a while ago and all worked well until about a couple of weeks ago. I do not attribute my problems to the ROM though but rather the Tilt itself. My first issue was related to no activesync connectivity. My Tilt became an "unknown" device. Looking at my USB port from inside of the battery compartment notice bent pins. I was able to straighten the pins out but only could connect with one of about 10 USB cables that I had around. Once you have loaded Dutty's room I would recommend reconfiguring your connectivity to AT&T. You can download a CAB with all of the configuration setting on this board. Recently my touch screen would freeze up and not work well. I thought it might be the ROM but later found out there must have been some physical problem. Two days ago I called ATT and RMA'd my phone. I recieved the new phone yesterday and configured it last night. All is working well (USB and Touchscreen, new ROM, New SPL and new radio).
BTW last night saw (do a google search - I don't remember where I saw it) a revised video / flash version of TCXXXX software. With Dutty's ROM (and current) my GPS worked great. I use it with a couple of test GPS programs and TomTom on Com4. I also have an external BT GPS and it works well with that. Check to make sure your email is not configured for a proxy or local network connection.
Pete
Thanks Pete, Since this post I have gotten the GPS to work. There is a GPS app in programs\tools that has an enable option. I stumbled across it looking for answers. Ill check the pins on my cable as well.
Dutty's connections wizard actually had the wrong info for ATT america. I had to remove ID and password to get it working for Media Net so I hope the cab you reference is a newer one than is on my tilt.
I am still getting the same message for email. "cannot cannect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap settings"
I have to be missing something in the connection settings. I will try the cab, maybe it has been updated since Dutty's build.
Can you think of any thing in the connection settings?? Opera works but email gets error and message to check connections.
Ill let you know how that works.
Here are the essential 3 cab files you need for your Tilt.
1) fixes keyboard
-Install, soft reset, done
2) Sets At&t settings
-install, set up email but do not save your password
then do this
start>settings>connections>connections>advanced>select networks>change both drop downs to media net>click edit on both drop downs and go to proxy settings here you will uncheck everything. remember to do it to both dropdowns.
3) removes hidden proxy (which will allow your email to work if you are using a saved password)
-install, then go to your email set up and save your password.
edit: This will also allow you to update htc weather, quickgps, and a number of other programs without receiving errors.
good luck and have a nice day
Hello all.
I first want to say that I have read this forum until I thought My eyes would bleed before posting any question.
I have a cingular 8125 (Wizard) that I recently upgraded to CR96 Touch HD Version 6.5.0.1.7 RC3 and I love the rom for the most part.
After installing it, I had internet access until just a few days ago. I assumed that it was that I was still running the old Cingular config file Cingular_Wap_Medianet_MMS_Settings.cab file that I have used for years, and maybe AT&T was trying to get rid of there old settings. I have searched the site, and searched for the settings to configure the connection.
I did not find a cab file for the wizard, but found the settings and manually entered them. I could not connect, nor could I access the internet.
I then located the htc HTC_Network_Wizard_Kaiser.CAB file, and tried running it, and could not find where it installed a program to run, nor did I see that it configured a connection for me. So, Back to reading.
I finally found an AT&T_Wap_MEdiaNet_MMS_Settings.cab file that actually allowed my phone to connect to the internet for my e-mail from my work. I still however cannot access the web. I thought maybe it was caused by an registry setting that I changed trying to move the bulk of my mail to the SD card. So, I did a hard re-set on the phone. I still however am only able to get the e-mail without web browsing access.
I have not been able to locate another person that has had this issue. Please help.

I also want to say that I have 90% signal strength, and am still unable to connect to the web.
does anyone know where I can find the ]HTC_Network_Wizard for the Wizard phone?
Does this mean that no one knows, or that I just did not ask correctly?
Could someone please send me the HTC_Network_Wizard for the Wizard file? I will beg if needed.
Liquidd

are you trying to use internet sharing with no data plan? if so, that wont work
Like "leemoss84" commented, you can't use internet sharing if you don't have data plan, as internet sharing is using the data plan of your phone for browsing internet on computers.
But if you want to use the wireless (Wi-Fi) feature of the phone without using the data plan, disable the 'Proxy'
Start > Tools > Proxy Manager > Disable Proxy
also in the Settings > Connections > Select Network
select "My ISP" instead of MEdia Net
once you've done this, you can access wireless network without being charged by AT&T.
I do have Data plan
I do have a Data Plan with AT&T with unlimited internet, but At&t wants me to charge me an extra $60 a month! just for tethering with my laptop
or to use the phone as a modem.
I want to know if there is a way to jump the $60.00 a month they want to charge on top of the unlimited internet and voice plan Im paying now.
Thanks in advance.

To tether undetected, just make sure both your internet connections in "Settings\Connections\Connections\Advanced Select Networks" are set to MediaNet and take out any proxy server in "Settings\Connections\Connections\Tasks\Manage Existing Connections"
I do it all the time.
Bruce thanks, so I went to take out the proxy server in "Settings\Connections\Connections\Tasks\Manage Existing Connections"
I i see a message on the TASK tab " The Connection is pre-configured it cannot be modified
I didn't know that would work unless you use a custom rom. I wasn't able to tether untill I flashed with dutty's. after that.. a few changes (media net, etc. mentioned above.) and I was off and running..
can you please recommend how can I flash my phone?
at this moment I'm lock with At&t
what will be the best option to flash my phone?
step one assume you have topaz (htc pure) in my case
go here to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
then once thats done go here and choose your rom that you want to flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=486
I recomend NRGZ28 Max manila http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562942
basicly when you download the rom if everything went well with step one just open the RUU file (looks like a topaz phone icon) and follow instructions. Make sure your phone is connected via sync
again this is a fast tutorial theres more detail ones around here in these forums
I had the same trouble when I first got the pure. There is a way to use ICS on the original rom. You have to change some registry values. I searched the internet and found the instuctions and it worked. But since then I have used many different roms that are better than the original and don't have that problem. I would recommend the energy rom. Remember to install hard spl first.

Don't you have a app "Remove Proxy server"?
all of this is comepletly not needed . there is a reg edit that will handle this easily over on the att forum . ;-) just do some digging like i did no flashing or other programs needed .

might as well just install a simple app that is 2kb. it will save time considering you didnt post the edit and when you hard reset you dont have to go looking for it again, all you gotta do is install the app.
I will do some more research
then I need a app to manipulate the Registry on my HTC PURE with AT&T.
thanks guys

WOW ! I got it the HTC PURE AT&T Solution to install the latest "Hard SPL"
Wow!
First thank you for all your contributions and inputs trying to help me with my problem Flashing the HTC PURE AT&T
Here is what I did:...
I was having a lot of problems trying to install the latest "Hard SPL", specially with USB communication and even when my phone was connected via ActiveSync.
I tried the automatic Flash and the manual with no results........ I was about to give up!
Also I download the "enablerapinew.cab" and installed on my phone main memory and ran the .cab and I got the message "installation of enablerapinew.cab was unsuccessful"- so i was going NUTS ! and I tried another .cab files to see if I was getting the same error and .... same thing I tried different .cab files like TOMTOM , google maps and a Games and all of them gave me the same message !"installation of enablerapinew.cabwas unsuccessful"
mmm........
So what I did was I reset the phone to the Manufacturers setup ( you know entering the password) 1234 and the phone will be like the first time you turned on.
so after that I install the enablerapinew.cabb and the installation was successful ! and everything else work !
now I have the ROM i wanted ! and .....
KISS GOODBYE AT&T !!!

yeah, a good hard reset will work wonders sometimes when you got a problem that cant be fixed. congrats.
so i have a question... i am running a custom rom on my phone, but my dad wants to basically do what the OP wanted, internet tethering without paying for the extra tethering plan. i cannot convince him to let me flash a new rom, likes the phone as is, just wants internet sharing. if i run that .cab on his phone, do i have to then make registry changes, or will the cab do all the work? what else would i need to do to give him his internet sharing?

Just install the cab.
AT&T tracks tethering through their proxy server, the reg edit just takes out the proxy settings as does the cab.
Its the same tweak, just different ways to get there.
To verify it worked go to Settings\Connections\Connections\Manage Existing Connections\Proxy Settings and confirm it is blank.
the "enablerapinew.cab" this CAB is for phones with problem installing the Hard SPL, the "enablerapinew.cab" will enable the phone to install the "Hard SPL" and them you need to flash the ROM , on my case I did a hard reset and them install the "enablerapinew.cab" them run the cab , and them flash the Rom, and after that I was able to share internet w/out problems
Hi,
I am struggling with the control of connections. Trying to get
access to internet working, I have created several connections.
The result is zero, or at least not reliable. Some times I get access to internet, sometimes not. Now I want to remove all connections and start again.
However, in the list of existing connections (Settings/Connections/Connections/Control existing connections), I see only one. If I look in the registry there are more with names I used creating them. Apart from the fact that I do not know of the consequences removing them from the registry, this is partly impossible.
Of course I could do a hard reset, but this involves a lot of work to get everything working again.
Does somebody know of other ways to do what I want; e.g. to get the list complete in order to remove them in the official way?
