Active sync 4.5.0 and Internet

Hey everyone I am really curious about how I need to go about accesing the internet throung the usb connection while my tilt is plugged in. I have read that previous versions of active sync had a feature called pass through which could be enabled / disabled at your choice. However in the current version of active sync this does not seem to be an option.
I basically just want to be able to browse the net on my tilt while I am connected to the pc via my usb cable.
Why because the at home internet connect is way better then the 3g network. This way I can download large files directly to my phone.
I have tried the registry edit as well as other methods. Still can't get the damn thing to work..
I am running the stock tilt rom directly from att. No mods no nothing. Also the version of active sync that I have came directly off the att tilt cd.
Please Help I appreciate your efforts in advance!

I have this workaround ( same situation with my X51V ) that you can try.
import the reg file or add the following key:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
Most works out of the box ( internet while activesync ... not sure why yours don't ... could be something that you did ??
anyway ... try the reg import and report back

I didn't do anything on mine and it is able to connect to internet through the USB whenever I connect it. WiFi is disable when the USB is connected.

when setting up activesync ... the last window allow you to enable WIFI while connected to USB too ( if prefered )
or go into ( File -->> Connection Settings ) and check "allow wireless connection on device while connected to desktop"

yeah tried the reg hack before. didn't change anything for me.
I also messed with the advanced network functionality box under start settings> connections> USB to PC.
No worky for me.
Is there anything else you guys have done on the phone? Should there be any other entries under network management? RIght now I have listed
Media Net
AT&T ISP
My Work Network
MY ISP

If you haven't MOD anything like you've said ... I would suggest a hard reset ... and don't touch that USB to PC setting !!!
things should allow you to surf while activesync right out of the box !

for real OH Jebus Hard reset. Just great. Well atleast i don't have too much on my phone.
Any other suggestions?

In your PC ACtiveSYnc' connection settings, you will have a drop-down under name "This computer is connected to". Take out Automatic there and choose Internet.
Sometimes ActiveSync will not recognize that your PC has internet. Tell me if this was it in your case.

yeah my man did that as well... maybe I will try the hard reset and see what happens

ive been curious about this also. mine just seems to default to my 3g connection...do i have to disable this for it to use the active sync connection?

Nope. When Synced, ActiveSync' net is on first priority!
Regards,
Carty..

I wonder if you have the networks proxy set in your default internet connection and when you connect via as it cant see the proxy nd thus wont allow connection...

interesting i tried out the newest rom on kaiser upgrade section...the att rom. i was gettin the same behavior. i loved the rom but was only bugged by that. i went to a new rom and fixed that problem. something with how att handles activesync cant do the job.

And ATT use a proxy...

i tried the diasable proxy cab flying around...it was no good. I'm using a different rom right now. It only happened to me on that specific rom.

I would have thought you just need to check the connection settings and make sure no proxy is enabled.

regarding the Tilt and the proxy ... you could try out these 2 cabs at this thread ( 1 for disable ... the other is for enable )
look towards the end of the post ..."Sleuth255" had provided the cabs for you Tilt owners to fix the hidden proxy that is involved with AT&T Tilt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1656670&postcount=1
if it works ... holler so that other Tilt owners can benefit !

Nice I downloaded the cabs. But before I launched them I took a look at my tilt for another second.
Keep in mind that I just did a hard reset and this is a stock att ship ROM.
Under start> Programs>Tools> There is a icon called proxy manager.
I clicked on diable proxy and did a soft reset. The problem is now fixed. I can browse the net while connected via usb through pass Thru.
Maybe the cabs do not need to be downloaded afterall as att already has them installed but thank you for the lifesaver!
Thanks people!

Hi,
I also used proxy manager to disable the proxy. Now whenever i connect my phone with activesync, it keeps connecting to the phone's GPRS (mediaNet). i look under the connections icon and it shows medianet connected, but not activesync.
anyone know how i can fix this to return to normal? i tried enabling the proxy again, but no luck.

HI,
I think I need the opposite
At work there is a very restrictive proxy that allows pie connections but, for example, does not allow to update the weather in HTC HOME.
There is a WIFI nearby that allows it...
Now, what I would like is to have my device ActiveSync'ed (so contacts, and so on are OK) while using WIFI for ineternet access...
Anyone knows if it is possible and how?
Thanks

tethering w? tilt

Hey all , ive been trying to tether my laptop with my tilt...now i go into wireless modem and choose the usb type connection. is there additional software or a program i need to install to make it work (and i dont have the tether option on at&t will that make a different ?)
thanx in advance for those with serious replies.

Don't use wireless modem!!! Won't work right. What you want to do is find the program shortcut in ythe \Windows folder called Internet Sharing.lnk.
Copy it & paste it to your program directory located \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, paste the shortcut there.
Launch the Int Share proggie, hook up to pc via usb, select usb as connection type & MediaNet as the connect to. Press connect & activesync will drop out & you will be connected.

It works great...I'm wondering if AT&T can tell that I'm tethering or not when I do this. I really don't want to pay for tethering.

No they can't. I mean they can see how much traffic is going through but after all, you're paying $30 for internet on a tiny device! Thats the price of home DSL internet!
I've been tethering for ages

i've been tethering for a while (and also use data like crazy on my devices) i just make sure to disable to the proxy first...
also once i was in the ATT store making some adjustments on my plan and the guy noticed the high traffic use and was gonna force me to upgrade to PDA connect for $50/month. I just told him that i bought the device with that plan and why would u charge me more if they advertised it with the medianet package...
he let me keep the medianet package and warned me saying that if i get caught then they'll charge me per kilobyte... that day hasn't come yet..

why would i disable the proxy ? thanx for the replies they were very helpfull !

This really deserves a knuckle rap because it's posted about a thousand times. There are two cabs. Disablehiddenproxy.cab & Restorehiddenproxy.cab.
If you have a stock tilt you need to run disable every time you reset because the proxy is default. If you have a modded rom, just the opposite is true & you need to enable it to use AT&T proggies/sites.
READ & SEARCH!!!

Forgive me bra! Your right I should have looked harder .

Yes, I've been tethering ONLY when I go on long road trips, like from DC to NYC and/or DC to NH/VT. I have not been charged extra by AT&T (I'm on the Unlimited PDA Data plan... $40 per month) for tethering, but my understanding is (according to another post I found in XDA-Developers) that if WE UPGRADE TO WM 6.1, AT&T WILL BE ABLE to know when we are doing tethering and when we're not. If tethering... they'll charge us extra. :-( I really think it's unfair! So, these bastards are pretty much asking us to pay $40 for the unlimited PDA plan, which they misinterpret and misadvertise as our having "the internet in our hands"... which is true, but that means we can only get a certain amount of packets per second! By tethering, we're getting more packets per second and that's when they simply do not like it! BASTARDS! Well, those are my 2 cents. Please let me know if it's true about the WM6.1 upgrade and/or if anyone finds out based on real-life experience! (whether or not they got charge for tethering after upgrading to WM6.1)

what exactly will disabling the proxy do?

How to turn off all data?

Hey guys, I do not have a data plan at all and am with Tmobile. I have tried the NoData program but for some reason it will not install onto the phone. I don't need any data connection of any sort whatsoever.

i would like to know teh same thing

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377679&highlight=advanced

why dont you just install a comm manager that has the ability to shut off data such as 3g or data completely. they a lot of different ones all over the forums.

Install this Cab, run the program and select which connection you'd like to enable or disable...... it's REAL easy
or you can enable/diable data using advanced config...
OR, this is what I did, called your service provider and ask them to put a block on the data connection so you never have to worry about it again when switching ROMs or whatever!!

Yeah I tried the NoData program and it doesn't work on my phone. It shows an error when trying to excute the program. It installs fine but just won't run. I tried the one you posted as well and they both don't work.

Then something is wrong with your phone.
NoData works perfectly on the tytn2 and the touch cruise
What error do you get ?

With AT&T you can just call them and request to suspend all data traffic on a specific phone line. I had to do that for my parents' phones because they kept pressing the wrong buttons and getting on the internet....

Maybe go in and setup the data connection wrong.

give the old model phone to ur parents,such as the one without GPRS function,lol,then they wont get on the internet

Here, I am going to type out the whole error message that I get when I click the details of the error message.

That is the message I get. the [] are boxes and I don't know how to type that. Any help? It didn't work on my TyTn that I had before either. And I tried downloading it several times and different ones.
Oh and I forgot to add that the Rom I am using is the one on the WIKI page about the HTC Windows Mobile 6.1 rom. I think it is the original. CE OS 5.2.19188 (Build 19188.1.0.0) is what I see in the Version of my phone.

use schap's advanced config to disable data connections. OR just call your service provider and have them block it from their end. thats what I did. Don't have install any programs or configs anymore!

Internet while connected to Activesync..

Hi all,
I am on Dutty's apr-29 rom and here is my issue..
My kaiser is connected to my work pc with activesync installed and i am unable to use internet on my device... I can update htc weather with no worries but the pie and skyfire doesn't work... the strange thing is that netfront browser works just fine so iam not sure if its a proxy issue or not???
I would like to use skyfire if possible so pls let me know what can i do to make it work.
Thanks alot

First thing I'd try is to reboot the computer AND soft reset the phone. If that doesnt work, try disabling advanced network... under connections usb to pc.
ps- in the future, its recommended NOT to start a new thread for something like this, but post it in the rom's thread (duttys in your case)

hi, i have the same problem...but I still using the standard ATT rom...

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply, I tried what you suggested but still no luck..

I honestly don't know...the fact that you are able to update the weather but not others has me stumped. Has it always behaved this way? Can you do a complete system backup using sprite and hard resest, before you restore, connect it to activesync (you do not need to configure it to sync with your device, iow just cancel the first screen) and see if you can use pie or check your email. If you can then there must be a problem with your settings somewhere, but if you cant then just use sprite for a full system restore and you should be back to where you were and maybe someone else can help.
For what its worth when I first got my tilt it would not use the internet no matter which way I tried (ota or activesync). Then it magically just started working.

hello once again,
Ok so here is the thing... i played around with it a bit more and was able to get pie to work.. but everything else still doesn't work (windows live, skyfire, etc..)
I went to connections>>advanced>>select network>> on this screen i selected "My ISP" for the top menu and "My Work Network" for the bottom menu... By making this change pie is now working but still no luck with skyfire..
Note: i do not have a data plan so MY ISP menu is empty, i usually use skyfire with wifi or when connected to my laptop at home
PS: I didn't do a hard reset because i dont think it has anything to do with rom upgrade...i have flashed my device like 47 times in last 2 months and have had the same issue with every rom i've tried including the original htc rom. Everything works jsut fine when when my device is connected to my laptop at home using activesync.

I think you would still have the problem after a hard reset. Mine has the problem now on the standard Tilt ROM. The wierd part is it didnt when I first set it up and was running the internet through cerdisp. I guess I need to look into it too, but I havent been going crazy trying to find it.
What version of activesync are you using?

Iam using Activesync 4.5..

Have you tried disabling your windows firewall?

Dumb Question
If the phone is connected to your work PC, why would you use the browser on the phone and not the work computer?
If you are worried about what the boss might see - here's the problem with that - can't they just monitor the server traffic anyway, whether you use the phone or the computer, since you would be using the work's server?
What i do at work - first make sure there are no keyboard loggers - second use the internet on the phone and disable the ethernet on the computer.
I remember an option somewhere in the syncing process about allowing income data connections - I dont know exactly what it does, but i will try to find it and post something
EDIT - it was an option to allow wireless incoming data to phone while connected to activesync.

If your talking about tethering, then you're doing it wrong.
Make sure your Activesync isn't connecting to your phone in the first place. Turn off the "USB" connect in the settings for Activesync.
THen go on your phone and open up the "windows" and look for a file called "intshr" or something like that. Open it up and then hit connect.
You don't need to change any settings for the Media Net if you're using the AT&T rom.

Well the only reason i wanna use my device and not the work pc is beacuse all the major sites like hotmail, youtube, facebook are blocked but they all work on my device using "only" netfront browser..

The best plan for those with no plan

I absolutely love my kaiser. I upgraded from a Wizard a few months ago, I went through 4 of them, but I havent really done much with my kaiser, only flashed the rom a few times. I'm with AT&T and I don't have a data plan so when I had my Wizard I somehow disabled (on purpose) my phone from being able to dial AT&T to establish a data connection while at the same time still being able to use Wifi whenever I wanted. I want to do the same thing but the settings are all different on the kaiser and I dont want to make a mistake and get charge up the ass by AT&T for accidentally transferring data. I would appreciate any help someone could give me on what settings to change to disable.

No problem man.. use this program.. it works great... It will install a program that will allow you to turn off any internet data connections (just be sure to go into your programs menu and click both options to DISABLED )
