Hi,
I've just reflashed with the new UK TMobile ROM, and since then I'm having trouble using active-sync at work, I know the problem is caused by the sygate personal firewall config, but I can't change that because of company rules.
When I had the Mr Clean 2.2.4 rom installed it had a panel in the settings screen to change the USB configuration to use a different type of connection.
This worked fine.
At some point in the past I also had some registry tweaks which changed some networking parameters and that made it work fine too, I can't remember if they were on the device or on my PC.
Anyone out there remember the settings or know where I can get a .cab of that usb configuration tool?

If your device uses Windows Mobile 5 you must open some ports in the sygate firewall settings: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/sygate.mspx.
Also it's necessary to change the RNDIS driver settings in the mobile phones registry as well!
Use a regedit tool like PHM Registry Editor.
Here are the settings to be added (or to be changed respectively):
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\RNDIS
Name of the Value to add: MTU
Type : DWORD
Data: 1514 (Value is Decimal)
Name of Value to add: MaxOutTransfer
Type: DWORD
Data: 1642 (Value is Decimal)
After a reset my Prophet (XDA Neo) synchronized well with active sygate firewall!
Hi,
I think (better I hope) I have found a solution for the "HTC looses HTTP proxy settings for WiFi connections". Probably you have already noticed, that the HTTP proxy setting for a WiFi connection (e.g. configured using "Work" connection setup) is lost after closing and reopening the connection configuration dialog.
During my investigations I found, that the registry snapshots, shortly taken after entering the proxy and after reopening the configuration settings again, were nearly identical. There was no clue, that the configuration program itself reversed the settings, so there was a high feasibility, that the problem is either the entry or the re-read into/out of the registry.
The problem seems to be, that the configuration program does enter the proxy setup in a wrong format. Whereas the "type" parameter should be set to "1" (HTTP) the configuration setup sets this to "0" (null proxy).
So in order to reverse this one has to change the registry (e.g. using PHMRegedit) by performing the following procedure:
1) Go to
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}
2) Locate your proxy setup (key starts with HTTP-{xxxxxxx})
3) Change the "type" value to "1"
For PocketIE the parameter "EnableAutoDetect" in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings (Note: There is no space in the key, don't know, why this forum inserts one) should be either not there (default) or set to 1.
Please double check and let me know. Keep in mind, that your settings may get lost, every time you tamper with the connection configuration program. Probably somebody could provide an OMA Provisioning CAB (_Setup.xml with CM_ProxyEntries and stuff).
EDIT: CAB attached. The contained _Setup.xml connects WORK (SrcID) with WiFi (DestId) using the specified proxy. Taylor it to your needs. Don't forget to "makecab /D COMPRESS=OFF _setup.xml ProxyOn.cab" (Note: COMPRESS=OFF) and ActiveSync it to your device. Tap it to "install". Save the cab for other uses.
EDIT II: Registry key fixed...sorry....

Neil
i hope this works, ill give it a go when i have time.
It works - great.
Thank you
Andre
I tried the proposed solution, using the .cab file and also by hand, without success.
My regietry key defining the proxy has type=1, but still does not connect...
Sorry, It works when conneting through activesync, but not through wifi.
Does anybody know where is the "intelligence" that decides which connection to use? Is it in the registry?
You have to ensure:
a) Your WiFi board connects to Work, not to Internet
b) Both connection setups must point to Work
The providec cab connects Wifi with Work and configures the proxy.
Hi, neil,
Thanks for the quick response. I did check that the card points to Work, and both connection set ups point to my work network. When editing the connections, I can see that the proxy is well defined. If I enter the registry, I can also see the proxy definition and "enable=1", "type=1". But still PIE hangs in "locating..."
Now, I run the .cab file with wifi "on"...
Probably something is wrong with your proxy. Fortunately I have a transparent proxy up and running. 141.39.43.185 port 8080. Try it. I'll see you
BTW: Sometimes a softreset does make wonders...
Regards
Ah, and don't forget: Whenever you open your devices proxy configuration and closes it again, the proxy config is messed up again by HTC.
Regards
Will try and provide feedback, but, What do you mean by try the transparent proxy? Shoul i define that proxy?
I din know about soft resets. I have even done a hard reset so I am now traying with a fresh registry... Have not ASed yet. But I wonder, Is there a key in the registry that defines which are the correct connections? Or is it all done via SrcId and DestId?
One more thing. I tried to change the proxy definition in your cab file. Extracted the setup, changed it and winrared it back... but this new cab will not install. My proxy is 192.168.0.254:8080...
Sorry for beeing not specific enough: Yes, please define that proxy. Transparent was meant in the sense of "does nothing than transfer back and forth"
Concerning repacking: Use makecab not rar. And don't compress.
SrcID and DestID makes the thing. This GUIDs haven't changed since the very first version of WM
Regards
Tryied my own cab file and worked... only once. It's lost again. Soft reset and will recheck. Thanks for the support
I can not make it connect anymore.
I run the cab file without success. What should the sequence be?
1.- set both connections to "my work network"
2.- open PIE
3.- run the cab file?
In Mobile 6.1 the settings stays but PIE doesn't use the the proxy configuration for some reason.
I'm experimenting with this. Making progress. But I'm still having some difficulty.
I think my Socks proxy port is not getting set right. I'll post back how it is going, but does anyone have thought about the Socks?
[EDIT]
Well, I had hooked up once (or maybe it was reading cache).
Anyway, I'm not having luck. It looks like the settings are right.
One thing I do notice, is that the WAP one, the Type is 2, and the Socks the type is 4, if that makes any difference. But the type for the HTTP one is 1, and the setting for IE looks correct to.

With the downloaded cab, extract the file (may use winrar), change it to your liking and makecab again (no compression).

Hi, Neil
Have you noticed the key "Modified"? If no wifi network is selected, this key seems to be "0", but when a wifi network is connected, it changes to "1"...

Hi Javes
That is what I'm doing. The only mod I made to the file was I changed the Proxy address to the DNS name of our proxy here at work.
What I"m finding is that the key is going in with Type set to 0, even though the XML file has 1 in it.
I'm also noticing that there is another HTTP characteristic with my Proxy (I'm guessing likely from setting in Conn Manager, with my Proxy, and a type of 0, so I have manually set both it and the one added by XML to a type of 1.
After that, still does not connect. I soft reset, and they are back to 0.
So, I went into Connection manager, and deleted references to Proxy,and turned off Proxy, and ran DClicked the Proxy cab again. The settings went in with 1, doesn't connect, and I get a popup that says "Cannot connect with current connectin settings"
So, I soft reset again, and it's back to 0.
So I went into connections, set Proxy to ON, but no proxy settings. Ran the XML file, still no connection.
I think I have a gremlin that won't let mu connect on the public at work. Interestingly, one day a copule weeks ago I was successful connecting...until a soft reset later that day. I had set EVERY item with my work Proxy: HTTP, WAP, SOCKS, and SECURE WAP.
ewingr,
I am no expert at all and have no solutions. Like you, I followed the original instructions about the cab file, with results similar to yours. I've been able to connect on two different occasions, but these connections only last for a minute. After this minute, connection is impossible for me, with resets, re-cabs and the lot. Lets wait until someone more knowledgeable drives us to success...
In the meanwhile, I will keep trying different things.
Hi,
I've got ROM 1.38WWE with the current Telstra pre loaded software on the device. Everything works fine, included autoconfig and some other tools posted on here, (many thanks for them!)
What I can't do is edit the internet connection setting, the device says "this connection is pre-configured. It cannot be modified"
The reason I need to modify it, is to add a setting that will setup my direct push technology, so I can wirelessly sync with an exchange server. On the imate, once you add this setting everything works fine but here I cannot do it?
Any suggestions?
You will need to install a registry editing software, I used PHM RegEdit.
Once installed use the find function on "Telstra Internet"
and set the ReadOnly value from 1 to 0
It will be somewhere in :
HKEY Local Machine > COMM > ConnMgr > Providers > Random String eg. {7C4B7xxx
> Connections > Telstra Internet
Edit:
What setting did you need to change? i didn't have to change anything for my setup of exchange synchronisation on my Telstra TD.
I did notice however that I couldn't access pop3 and live messenger on the default proxy, having instead to change it to 10.1.1.181 - this allowing telstra WAP access/internet browsing/pop3/live messenger/exchange, but the Touchflo weather app has been "intermittently" working since... still nutting that one out.

Honestly you best bet is to drop the Telstra Rom and load Duttys rom.
You wont look back....
Hi,
I have a Nokia Lumia 520 Vodafone (I'm not sure if this is the rigth section or this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/development).
I'm using a MVNO operator. It's everything quite good (connection) but I can't use it in order to have the hotspot.
I try to explain: as default, there are 3 different APN (not related to the MVNO operator but related to the operator who "give" the network to the MVNO) and I added the one correct for the MVNO operator. I use the last one, and the smartphone can connect and so on.
The problem probably is that when I activate the tethering (hot spot) the phone automatically tries to activate another APN (one of the 3 as default) but obviously there isn't any connection (there is a message like "there isn't any connection available").
The solution should be: delete these default APN.. but I can't!
Pushing (holding it) the APN only 2 choice are showed: ACTIVATE and SHOW (neither MODIFY nor DELETE).
Well, the question is: can I in some way delete these APN (or change their values... I don't know, via registry system)??
Please note that the tethering function is officially allowed by the operator and in his opinion the is a phone matter.
Also please note the Vodafone brand is only "a face", I mean this rom doesn't deny any type of connection.
Thanks to help
Known problem; some MOs put a custom configuration for tethering in the registry of their phones. To make tethering work "like normal" you need to remove this custom configuration. It can be done by installing a registry editor via chamber hijacking, but I don't have the details of what changes you need to make handy right now.

Thanks.
Do you think I can do it simply installing something like "Root Tool" (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/root-tool/f4acc009-ea1e-4063-9bab-fec50195aa1e) ?
Root Tool should let you make the necessary changes, yes. I'm not sure if it supports binary data types, so if you need to edit those you may have trouble, but otherwise it's fine.
Sorry I don't recall the details for making this work. Searching this forum for "Internet Sharing" may help...
