I have a ROM based on the official WWE 5.2.19212 ROM, it is slightly spiced with some updates and some appications I wanted integrated - nothing special.
I have recently had Exchange ActiveSync enabled by my company so I have a permanent GPRS connection to Vodafone (I have set the connection to 'AlwaysOn' in the registry). I have a home VPN setup where I can VPN to my network at home using the Native L2TP/IPSec client. Prior to getting Exchange'd this worked fine. Since I have had Exchange ActiveSync (and the permanent GPRS connection) I have had VPN issues with the client just not working. I doesn't even attempt to make a connection; it flashes up 'Connecting' for a second or so then stops.
If I soft reset the Kaiser, wait for it to boot, settle down(?) and then establish the GPRS connection (3G or HSDPA usually depending on where I am) I can connect the VPN fine. If I leave it for a few hours I then get the same behaviour whereby it doesn't even attempt to connect. Another soft-reset and it's back working again.
Anyone else have these issues? Is it a bug with 5.2.19212, any workarounds?

Hi,
So far the AT&T Tilt has been kicking some serious ass. However, there has been one glitch that I'm hoping someone might know more about.
Twice now, the internet connection has stopped working through the cellular data connection. Connecting through active sync and wi-fi still works. The last time this happened I called Fido (Calgary, Canada), found out that everything was OK on their end and then tried a bunch of connection settings. Doing what they asked me to do didn't solve the problem. Then, seemingly by magic without doing anything in particular, the connection started working again and I could connect to web pages again through IE.
So it has happened again, and I can't to connect to the internet using IE (or any other application). Here is the status so far:
- tried rebooting the device
- been able to connect via wi-fi and active sync
- Installed Microsoft's Network Analyzer application which reports the following: IP address is assigned (cellular connection) and able to ping microsoft's http server (www.microsoft.com ). Note that when I disconnect my data connection the ping to microsoft fails so I believe it is actually reaching the server. There is no MAC address for the cellular network adaptor, but I don't know if this is normal or not. See the attached document which is the log file it generated.
- Tried to connect via Google Maps, Direct push (Exchange), Octro Talk. All of the applications give the same message that the page or service can't be found. It is odd that the Network Analyzer seems to be the only application that can talk to the outside world.
- Also re-ran the diable proxy cab for the Tilt
I didn't play with any of the connection settings prior to this happening so it's hard to tell what is causing the problem.
Thanks in advance,
Alan
Flash your ROM
If you are having the same trouble, I fixed my problem by flashing to an HTC ROM. Screen layout switching is faster now, my network connection is working and the system seems generaly faster. I'm using Dutty's Hybrid test final rom V4. If there is stuff about your tilt that you don't like, and you aren't actually using AT&T as your carier, then I would just ditch their ROM.

This is a continual bug that appears across certain roms, currently in the latest Dutty V2 Rom.AS works fine over GPRS, and via USB cable to the internet, BUT IMPOSSIBLE over wifi?
Does anybody else have this issue? I have tried very solution etc, I use mail2web exchange, and only stock roms will sync via wifi with it?
Microsoft has desactivated the wifi connection (for security reason) on after the
4.1 version, and WM6 synchronise with the version 4.5.
so plug the cable
The Bluetooth connexion has been disabled (to a computer), not the wifi one. I have an Exchange 2003 server, I'm able to connect and synchronize with ActiveSync my diamond to this serveur using Wifi (on the same network, never tried using internet, perhaps with Exchange 2007 in a few weeks).
Or perhaps is it synchronization threw internet that is forbidden ?
I dont think thats what we're talking about here...
Phone syncs with exchange via net perfectly when its not connected to pc, however when connected to pc phone can not access net
Assuming internet does work, firewall anywhere?
I had the same problem when I tried to connect to my exchange server the first time. Then I connected via 3G and the normal "set security..." came up, even though I set an unlock code before. Whatever after this first connection with 3G the connection with ActiveSync and USB did work fine.
I have a ROM based on the HTC official 5.2.19212, I also have the latest VoIP drivers cooked into the ROM along with an auto-run .cab file with my SIP settings. I know this works as when I put together my kitchen this was something I tested extensively (the audio is routed to the rear speaker, however that is the only issue). Also included in my ROM is the .cab file for BlackBerry Connect 4.0.0.97, however it isn't installed automatically. When I originally put together the kitchen I wasn't using BB Connect but we have BB's at work so I thought I would include it as an option for installation later on.
A few weeks ago I got my SIM upgraded so I could enable BB Connect. After a bit of playing around I got it all working and I am now 'synced' to my work email using BB Connect (I would prefer Exchange & ActiveSync but this isn't an option at work at the moment....). One thing I didn't check after installing BB Connect and enabling it was the VoIP client as I just assumed they would play together.
Anyway I don't use VoIP often but last week I had the oportunity to use it on a customer site where we were testing a new IP Phone system and we only had a couple of 'real' WiFi IP Phones. Anyway it didn't work The Kaiser was able to start the call, however after the other party had answered it just locked up - screen froze, no response to any buttons etc, only option was a soft-reset. I tried it several times but each time it was the same. When I got home I changed the SIP settings to my own Broadband Voice providers settings and tried again, still it didn't work. I also tried disabling the GPRS connection and even switching of the GSM radio in case that was causing the issue, but no the same behaviour was experienced.
I ended up doing a hard-reset and then it began to work, however after installation of BB Connect it fails again.
Does anyone else use VoIP & BB Connect or know what is likely to be the problem?
Cheers
Andy

I would try a 6.1 rom that can connect to two dialup networks at the same time (blackberry and media.net) or suspend the blackberry connect service and see if the problem still happens. The BB connect service establishes and maintains a constant connection to blackberry and does not release it which would cause a problem with any other connections including SIP.
I would also try running the latest blackberry connect 4.0.0.100. I find it locks up my tilt less than the previous versions.

2 GPRS connections active at the same time? I didn't think this was possible? However I don't think this is the issue as I disabled the GSM radio and only had WiFi connected (so no 2nd path). If the 2nd IP connection was the problem then I could see VoIP just not working (i.e. a local IP routing decision for the device and not knowing which interface to use), however the whole thing just locks up - no reaction to any button or screen tapping, the only thing you can do is soft-reset?

I have the Tilt with the factory AT&T Rom on it currently, I also have the unlimited data plan.
I have the VPN settings right as far as connecting to my work servers, I can also see on the Windows Server that my domain account is connected.
The problem is as soon as I navigate away from the VPN settings screen when connected, it instantly drops the connection.
If I am using IE on the phone, and enter a address that would be on our domain, it starts the connection to the VPN, connects, then disconnects.
Any clues as to why it won't stay conencted when not on the VPN settings screen?
bump, same problem even after updating to 6.1
Hi guys,
I have just bought an HTC Touch Diamond 2 and very happy with it.
But, there is one problem which is nagging me a lot. I am able to fetch my mail when connected to WiFi or Edge, but when use GPRS, Send/Receive errors out by asking me to check my connection settings.
After going through a lot of forums, it was suggested that i change the Connection in Advance Server Settings from "Internet" to my GPRS connection, which is "Vodafone Live".
Once this was done, i dint get the connection error message, but a new one, which said "Message cannot be downloaded to your mobile device". This is really strange, because i can open websites from Opera on my GPRS connection.
Also, when i modify the connection to Vodafone Live, if i switch to WiFi, i have to modify the connection to Internet, to be able to use mail with WiFi. Isn't there a simpler and cleaner approach to the whole thing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Sid
Vodafone Live automatically uses a proxy. This proxy only allows you to use their mail services. You need to disable the proxy in settings > connections > connections > Existings connections > Vodafone Live/GPRS etc..
I have the same problem: "Messages cannot be downloaded" or "Error synchronizing". The only way to get your mail going again is a hard reset, and then you can wait for the next time this problem occurs....
I think it's a WM 6.1 problem, possibly in combination with the TP2. I also have a TytnII with WM 6.1 and it's mail is working perfectly well.
What I've discovered so far:
- it's NOT a settings problem. It occurs suddenly after days of troublefree emailing.
- it's not a networkproblem.
What might be causing it:
- downloading your mail via ActiveSync of Wifi. I've noticed the problem occurs mostly shortly after doing so.
- a certain combination of installed programs. I'm now starting with a "blank" TP2 (just Windows and TomTom), and install a new program every day, when the mailproblem has not occurred.
It looks like the SMTP-issue in WM 6.0: once you've had 1 bad connection, your mail wil never work again.
I'm now using SpriteBackup and can restore my TP2 easily to the "out of the box" state + emailsettings after the problem has occurred.
Works absolutely fine with T-Mobile and a new TD2.. Used the e-mail for a week now, constantly. HSDP always on, and receiving e-mail every 30 mins. I think it's just Vodafone being sh*t instead of the SMTP protocol in Windows
I've also got Vodafone, but with a KPN-sim the same problem occurs.
My TD2 has been working fine for 4 days now, untill this afternoon I've been connected to the internet via WiFi (including automatic mailchecks). Shortly after disconnecting from WiFi and thus reconnecting to 3G/HSDPA for mailchecks, the dreaded message appeared again: "cannot download messages from the emailserver". And again, a hard reset was the only way of getting my email going again.
It seems WM6.1 in some way stores the (in my case: static) IP-address through which it connects to the mailserver. When this address changes or is unreachable, mail stops working.
It really is a combination of TD2 and WM6.1. My TytnII is working fine!
I'm getting sick and tired of this sh*t now!
