IE just won't connect...

Hi there, first post from me.
Great forum here found it really helpful over the last few weeks.
I've become a little stuck with my connections recently. I managed to flash my phone with the WM6 upgrade when I first got it and all was good, 4GB Micro Card, TomTom 6 all working with GPS etc. However, I tried to upload some corrupted maps for TomTOm and had to Hard reset my phone.
Now, since this I've had grief with my connections. I've finally managed to get these working again and I can connect to Windows Live and download my hotmail with both WiFi and GPRS connections. However, Internet Explorer just won't work. I've tried forcing it to use WiFi with the phone shut off, doesn't work. Tried it with GPRS with WiFi off, doesn't work either.
When I try to browse to an address it just pops up "Cannot Connect with current connection settings" I've tried all sorts now and I just cannot get it to work. I have "this network connects to the internet" checked in Proxy settings.
The only thing I have noticed is I have a load of connections under Internet Sharing which are no longer current yet they are still there.
Any help gratefully received!
You could just make a backup of everything and hard reset. I know thats a bit harsh, but it always works. I usually don't resort to that as a first, but give it a try.. just make sure everything is backed up to ur storage card and synced w activesync/wmdc. any questions, dont hesitiate to pm me

Cheers, just done that now and checked PIE worked fine before doing anything else.
All groovy now. Very odd it did what it did.

Yeah, with ATT/Cingular here and after a month or so I can no longer connect to much. I either install a new rom or do a hard reset and all works after. I don't know why it craps out for a bit then works good on a re-install. Once my device is set up I don't change much on it. strange, but not that big of a deal as I flash the new releases rather frequently.

Limewire/eMule/Shareaza/Kazaa -app?

Hey guys..
is there software to download music and stuff right onto your phone from the internet? like with Limerwire and eMule and stuff..
or wouldnt it really work when anyway there was such a program?
Thankss..
I'm using WMtorrent it's perfect if you are traveling a lot, to download a movie for the evening. Be sure to be connected to a WiFi spot or to have a unlimited data plan!!
http://www.wmtorrent.com/home_index.html
Also there i a emule client:
http://www3.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/research/projects/siemens-mopi/mopiphant.shtml
but i never tried it.
thanks man..
had a loooott of fun with wmtorrent but unfortunately it was just a trial version..
the emule client 'mopiphant' is still under development
guess i have to stick with downloading music from my computer and then put it on my phone
its a trial but AFAIK there arent any restrictions. i used it for ages once.
yeah it was kinda strange in my case..
i thought i had read somewhere that it was a 15 days trial or something..
before i had reached my limit i flashed my phone.. and after flashing i reinstalled and from that time on it asks me for a serial and a key..
so i don't kneeeuuww.. just hoped there was an alternative

Stopping Wcescomm from constantly loading

I don't sync my tilt2 to often. maybe once very 2 weeks, but even after removing through MSCONFIG, and uruninstaller, it keeps loading itself. Tried killsync, temp solution. WHat I would like to do is run it manually when needed and then sync, not have it sit in standby mode..
Any help appreciated.
Have a great day!
It loads from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Delete key "H/PC Connection Agent". Each time you run ActiveSync, it writes his autorun keys, so I do not see a way to prevent this. But, I'm a developer, so I often need for connection with my device.
Thank you for the reply and info. I'm shocked how you guys know all this stuff..BRAVO MAN!
I guess the only solution is to install/uninstall as I use it..
Thanks again!

MTP stop working... Help!!

Guys.. I have a problem >.<
I was copying my music files across in MTP mode and suddenly it stop functioning. I cant copy anything on to my GN anymore. I try switching to PTP mode but same problem.
I can view the file on GN fine but I cant copy anything now. Any help please >.<
Note: I just finished copied 2 albums and that is it so my storage is not full.
had the same problem!
try not to copy & paste multiple files at once, rather copy whole folders!
at least it worked for me. I read about this problem somewhere else.
It just plain does not work. You would think that due to the lack of USB mass storage, Google, Samsung - whoever would have refined the MTP, but it's totally hit or miss. Do yourself a favor and get Airdroid from the market. It's free, and it works. Pretty damned dissapointing for a $700 phone.

I don't think so, lot's of people with issues. I think you will find Airdroid much faster than USB anyway.
That is really freakin annoying. This afternoon I transfered Gigs of Music, now it won't even let me copy pictures. I un- and reinstalled drivers, rebooted both PC and phone, still nothing. Can't even use Airdroid as I don't have a WiFi network here.
Yeah, I agree, MTP has been nothing but buggy for me as well. Sometimes it shows some folders, sometimes it shows them all. Same with files.
I just did a little learning about MTP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol interesting read. I wonder who is to blame for the bugginess, the host (initiator) or the device (responder)?
For me Unfortunately, MTP application has stopped problem is solved !!!
Read my post #6, problem is solved !!! very minor point but we tend to overlook it...

MTP and Linux mess

I find it unacceptable that a Linux based operating system has so much difficulty connecting/mounting to the most popular Linux package out there (ubuntu). After 3 hours of searching and trying different methods I gave up. Was doing it remotely for a friend in a different state but I doubt that made a difference. Am I missing an easy fix here? I don't want to use androids or whatever that app is. Also gMtp won't allow any transfer gives errors.

Agreed. However, I found that this method worked for me.
There seems to be an issue with copying over an existing file on the android device which throws an error, but if you delete the file on the phone first, then copy all is good.
Not ideal, but a whole lot better than I was expecting!
Hope this helps.

I've never liked the idea of USB transfers, plugging in cables is too much like manual labor
You can install an SSH server on your phone and then use sshfs on your PC to connect to it. The real bonus is it's a much better way to get to a terminal on your phone as well.
For really large files you can also transfer using a USB memory stick with the right cable and software.
I barely ever plug my phone in. I use both airdroid and filexpert (both in market) to do web or http file transfers!
Just my preference.

link is dead. Also, I don't understand the remedy. Erase the file from the phone? I'm trying to copy it to the phone and have no success. Thanks for your reply.

OTA file transfer is fine but requires unlimited data plan. I'm looking for an old fashioned usb connection. I never thought I'd say this but I am just about to "miss" Gingerbread.
Put the device in Camera (PTP) mode and it works fine. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the only drawback is that you can't transfer files over 4GB?
I see you're running Ubuntu, try this if the above method doesn't work well for you: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-easily-mount-the-galaxy-nexus-on-ubuntu-11-10-via-unity/

That seems to be a popular method but was not successful. I was doing it remotely for a friend and will do it again when I see him next month.
Also, the PTP appears not to show the whole 32 GB partition. I can't be sure since I was working on it via teamviewer and did not have my hand on the phone.
I agree with the OP that this is a PITA. In the past I have done the majority of my transfers to my phone via wifi anyway, but transferring HD video to the phone would be considerably faster via a wired connection. I admit that I did not try to hard to get it working after the first few times (most tutorials on the web seem focused on 11.10 and I use 10.04), and have just resorted to wifi transfers.

fyi it worked for me only partially - I can get files off my GN but not on to it - nautilus hung when I tried it

MTP and PTP both show only the contents of sdcard/media I suspect this is intended to stop end users breaking their phone.
I've moved to airdroid - it needs to have the computer and the phone on the same wireless network and uses that network, it doesn't use a carrier so shouldn't use any of your data allowance.
I agree it's suboptimal but no-one here is responsible for the decision to make the GN without a fat32 partition.
HeyItsLou has some good for getting MTP working on 11.10. He's pulled the updated source from the 12.04 repos and has a nice tutorial for getting it working. http://ohheyitslou.blogspot.com/2011/12/galaxy-nexus-enable-mtp-file-transfer.html
damn, just use adb push already. or like someone said, a ssh server on the phone. edit config to limit only to a known ip or mac address,
or even better, ask for help in google groups, or check aosp bug tracker. 3hrs to solve or reach a conclusion is nothing.

It is indeed a big mess. I found a tutorial for using it with Fedora here: http://blog.offenders.org/?p=101 (I can't post links yet...)
It involves recompiling the mtpfs drivers, and it still doesn't work 100%.
I've also tried doing a 'reverse tether', i.e. connecting the USB cable and selecting 'Settings/More/Tethering.../USB tethering'. Then (if you run an SSH server on the phone) you can connect using SSH over the USB cable.
Unfortunately it's still a bit clunky, and I frequently find myself connecting to a Windows machine instead, just to avoid the trouble.
Adb push would be OK for me but this is for those I've setup with ubuntu and preached a no "windows" world to. I'll try the airdroid for him but we need a simpler solution. I usually setup these computers as a dual boot of xp/vista/7 and ubuntu 11.04. I guess as it was suggested is better to boot into Windows transfer the files and then get out. Ughhh

I tried this, but I got some errors saying that it couldn't find the packages at the beginning of his blog post. I tried continuing on (since I saw that I had the packages installed)... the really odd thing is that once in mounts (eventually) and I go into my Nexus folder, the only folder I see is Playlists, and that folder is empty.
EDIT: I got this working. I had to track down the packages and download them to a local folder and install from there. Then I rebooted and ran Lou's script again. I'm seeing all my folders now. If you JUST see "Playlists" it means you don't have the right packages.
