I connect to 3G network and PIE, Media Net works well. I disconnect 3G and connect to WiFi, open PIE which is set to Media Net home page and popup reads "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings." It will not go to Media Net home page but most other websites (ie. google, weather channel etc...) work fine. Cingular video reads "having technical difficulties, try again later". Mobile CNN reads "Cnn wireless content is restricted. You may be attempting to access us from an unauthorized mobile service provider, or it could be that your service provider is authorized but has failed to register a new gateway IP with us."
That's with PIE. With 3rd party applications like XM Radio, Windows Live Search, they work well with WiFi but not with 3G. XM pops up "A network error has occurred. Please verify your cellular or WiFi connection is active and restart the app." Live Search will open but wont download maps or get directions.
I've done searches here and in different forums with no success. This happened before and after phone calls to AT&T, HTC then online chat with AT&T tech support I got it fixed with a hard restart. Then after downloading HTC Home Plugin, KaiserTweaks and remapping the PTT button, it started having the same connection problems again.
Now aside from doing another hard restart and having to dowload/install those CABs again, does anyone know how to fix this?
I know the AT&T/Cingular browser settings by heart, but this alone wont fix the problem.

There has to be some missing settings perhaps on Start-Settings-Connections-Connections-Advanced-Select Network : "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:".
Thanks, I appreciate any help.
I know this is an old thread but I was just having the same problem with all my 3rd party apps.
Simple solution: Edit settings for AT&T ISP so that they match the media net settings. Basically change ISP to wap in adress and user name. leave the password as it is.
Im not sure why my 3rd party apps try to connect to ISP but since i cant figure that out this does the trick.
Hopefully this helps somebody. Im using Alex V5.20 CUBE
Hello All,
I have problems on my Kaiser with the internet connection via GPRS (here is no 3G network available).
When I want to update the weather forecast in the Home plugin, sometimes is working, sometimes not. Errormessage is then "server connection lost".
Same story in the Internet Exporer, I can open a web page, then when I click on a link or other page, "connection lost".
According to the status window connection is established and running.
Has anybody an idea here?
I tried already the disable hidden proxy and also the cache of the PIE on the handset. I tried also the advised settings in the tool "kaiser tweaks".
For the connection settings, I have only to put the access point name, my network is assigning all other data automatically.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx,
g-fall
I would say re-check your providers gprs settings.
thank you for the reply.
sorry, i forgot to mention that befor the Kaiser I had the Artemis and it was always working without problems.
btw, the problems with regular email checks was solved by disabling the auto time update and disabling the taskmanager from the today screen. So I hoped that there is something what I missed until now...
Thank you
When I turn on my phone at work, the wireless connection (open unsecured) connects and works for a few minutes. After some time, it disconnects and without rebooting my phone, I cannot establish a wlan connection.
This is oly the case at work. At home it works flawlessly, but it is another network kind.
Anyone found a solution to this problem? I saw a lot of threads about this but no good answers.
I am using duttys v3.
Not sure. Perhaps there is some sort of time out on your work network for inactive devices, or dhcp ip releases or something weird and "networky" like that?
Or perhaps your phone is going into a power save mode if you are not using it?
Just general ideas, I don't have this particular problem
I dont think many people have this issue! you must not have a setting correct, try downloading KaiserTweak and adjusting the timeout and also take a look at the routers settings I find it strange that a business would have an open network for security issues

I work at the university, and the network is unsecure. You have to enter login and pass at a webpage to gain access.
I cannot reconnect at all once ive been disconnected. So it should have anything to do with kaisertweak or timeouts.
I have tried every setting and combination. I have tried to select work/internet settings. Ive tried to tell the phone its a hidden network / not hidden network. I have tried to use power save / performance mode. Ive tried to turn off 3g, bluetooth, phone (everything basically).
When I tap connect, it says connecting and then it immediately goes to "active" and tries to connect to another network (which I dont have access to).

I have worked out the problem.. first if its a WPA enterprise connection, make sure its set to WORK and not INTERNET setting. it will work. my only works with schaps versions not duttys
on my old pda (Acer N50 premium) I had the same problem with my unis network... it would only work (if at all) for a few minutes then nada... but at home it was absolutely fine, quick stayed on and totally responsive... I wonder if it has something to do with the rubbish way unis run their IT...?

Many do not have this issue.
According to what's being said here by the indiviuals with issues, you're having problems connecting to a certain network...not all networks.
If it were all networks; your device, settings, equipment or rom would be the common denomenator. Since it's one network, it's that network.
Just because a network is or appears to be available, that doesn't mean that you can connect to it.

no, it could be the phone software. Lets says that a string is added to the registry if the network you are connected to disconnects you; a string that makes the phone cancel connections to the network. And lets assume that the network disconnected you because there is a hidden firewall in the phone software that blocks ping requests, thus making the network believe that the connection is lost and thus disconnecting you. Then we have a moment 22, which is basically something wrong with the phone.
As some readers already pointed out in this "wasted thread", when changing the rom (in one case) or when changing settings from "internet" to "work" (in the second case) there is a great possibility that this problem in fact has to do with phone software and not network.
In my case, it just happens to be neither of the mentioned solutions or any solution that I have found in other threads.
One thing you may want to check is that your wifi is set to max performance. The issue may also be that there is a DNS cache issue, in most cases it can be resolved by manually reconfiguring the connection.
I have been successful in configuring my phone's WLAN to connect to everything from open APS's, WEP, WPA, RADIUS and AP's with proxy redirects, so I can tell you that as with most cases, it's human error.
I have tried max performance.
How do I resolve a dns cache issue? Manually reconfiguring the network did not help (only thing that helps is a reboot).

Hi. I have problem with WiFiFoFum. Can this application make connection with network which found or it is only for search and show available networks? I don't have idea how force this application to connect with non secure network. Thanks for any help. Best regards.
no you use the built in app for that, it's just a scanner.
Hi all,
Apologies if this has been discussed before but I couldn't find anything on searching for it.
My problem is that when browsing using WiFi, Opera decides to switch on GPRS/3G after a short while and uses that instead of the WiFi. Is there any way of disabling this, so that it should sense that WiFi is on?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Most probably your Wifi disconnects due to bad reception and low signal strenght and then Opera tries to connect to any other ways of data connection. Try setting the options for Wifi to performance not battery and/or get closer to the access point.
Go Start> Settings> Connections tab> Connections> Advanced tab> Select networks>
then under "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:"
If you choose "My Work Network", then your phone will not try to connect to 3G even if the WiFi signal drops out/disconnects. But on the other hand, you will need to change this setting back to the original setting if you want to use 3G again. What would be usefull is to be able to toggle the "data connection" on and off using Connection manager. Maybe someone knows how to do this?
