Hi, i have a friend who's BA can pick up WIFI. The messenger works fine but when he tried to get a page up, it says page cannot be found. Any ideas?
Check the proxy settings.
MSN Messenger connects using the default gateway or SOCKS4/5 proxy while Internet Explorer uses a the HTTP proxy settings first, if specified.

hi all
i have a xda orbit, aka htc artemis. my service provider, after much delay, helped me to set up the internet settings for my device. now the problem is, they have made me change the port numbers from 80 to 9401 and have set up a connection in "work" settings, whenever i try to download emails from my yahoo account, which supports pop3, it says error in synch and to check my net connection. the same works fine if i connect my device to the pc with internet connection. similar thing happens with most of other apps which use internet
can someone help me on how to change the proxy settings on other apps or how to make other apps use the same connections settings please.
thanks
I flashed the new rom 6.1 from HTC for sprint and had to reflash back to metropcs. Now when I try to access the Internet I get and error message that says " Requested content ( to any website ) cannot be accessed. You don't have access to the site. Now I have the internet plan and I have done all the step from this site to configure the settings. Can someone Please help me to get the internet, gps, and mms back? Please
Did you try calling then because they may have re-initialize your phone.
Are you sure in the connection settings that you have the correct user name & password?
Yea I think so user name is my ten digit @mymetropcs.com and password is metropcs
Metro pcs internet settings
Are you able to access your "connections" settings?
Under connections chose manage existing connections.
Make sure it dials #777.
As with EVERY phone used on MetroPCS, set your username to [email protected]
The password can be anything or empty.
Now in proxy settings, make sure you check "this network connects to the internet" and "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet".
In it's advanced settings, enter wap.metropcs.net as the proxy address, then set HTTP, WAP and SOCKS to port 3128. Secure WAP to port 443.
Load Internet Explorer, in the url/address box enter the address you wish to load. It might fail, reload.. Make sure your data arrows show that you connected.
The page should load the 2nd time.. It almost always fails the first load.. Reason is posted on another thread, but it doesn't matter..
Have fun..

So how does this work for the Palm pre?. =)
I just receieved my TP2 yesterday from mobilephonesdirect (with a T-Mobile contract).
I've run into a problem with trying to browse to secure sites or access my hosted exchange and pop email accounts (both over secure connections).
Activesync returns the error "ActiveSync cannot reach the server. Check that the server address and proxy server settings are correct.". Trying to browse to a https://... address in opera mobile causes it to crash, and in IE I get a dialog saying it cannot find the url and "Make sure the path or Internet address is correct."
I did discover this thread over at expansys about the same problem with the Touch Pro (http://www.expansys-usa.com/ft.aspx?k=113037) but following the steps doesn't work for me, unticking the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" option just reticks it the next time I view the settings.
I can't find any settings different between my new TP2 and Vario3 so I'm stuck. Has anyone else had issues?
It's fixed now
I did a soft reset and then the unticking the proxy server setting actually worked. Not quite sure why the TP2 requires this to be unticked yet my Vario 5 is working with it ticked.
Doesn't work
I can untick the proxy but this doesn't solve my activesync/exchange problem. I can access POP3 email etc fine and access my exchange account over wifi or via USB, so I assume it's a T-mobile issue. Anybody any help? I have tried searching and the only other h suggestion was to change proxy server to end in .135 instead of .132, but this doesn't work either.
Now does work
Had to delete the T-mobile settgins that wereautomatically configured, restart,then do the automatic configuration again, then uncheck proxy box before making any connections, then restart and voila!
Hello
I have received my touch pro 2 and its amazing!!
Just having a problem with email, I have set up my google account with the correct details as well as my ntlworld account(both were working on my old phone).
On the new phonewhen sending/receiveing I get an error of error synchronizing and a data message of cannot connect with current connection settings.
I have tested Internet on the phone which is working fine.
Are T Mobile likely blocking imap access?
Thank you
I have just put my new sim in my old phone and the email is pulled down fine so must be a setting on the new phone, any ideas?
Thank you
its something to do with their web proxy and only happens when you are connected to certain "bits" of tmobile.
To fix it, go to settings->all settings ->connections->connections->setup my proxy server-> and UNCHECK this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet.

Hi there ... i'm using a wap connection with proxy server for HTTP
opera browser is working just fine as well as weather update, no problems what so ever !
But IE is giving me the message (you are not authorized to view this page)
... and at the end of the page it says
HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden
Internet Explorer
it's really frustrating coz i searched a lot on internet and couldn't find any solution
i tried a lot of roms and had the same issue with all of them
any help is appreciated and thanks in advance
^ bump ....
i wonder if there is a solution !!! 30 saw this thread yet no one answered !!
I don't know if this will help you in any way.
I remember when i had a Virgin Mobile SIM card that i had to set a different proxy setting for IE, otherwise it would not open web pages.
You can find the proxy setting under the connections settings.
T-Mobile on the other hand needs the proxy setting turned off in order to work.

thx for your reply gadgetwizard but if i put a different proxy the internet service wont work cause it depends on this particular IP
so i'm looking for a way or advanced configuration for IE to make it accept using proxy server !!
so again i'm waiting to see if anyone can help me solve this
I don't know where it's located in this new IE, but you have to change the user agent for your proxy, it's a little "tag" that identify your browser and your phone type for better browsing optimization. Your wap proxy won't let you pass through if your User Agent is not allowed. Search a little more on how to change it (HDtweaks do that for previous IE version, it might work. or registry edit) and what to put instead. Hope it's clear, hope it helps.
