Hi,
I have a new O2 Orbit but its connectivity to GPRS, WiFi and via cable/ActiveSync is driving me mad. In turns one or all of them don't work without me making any changes. O2 support have suggested:
- setting the username/password for GPRS, WAP etc - tried
- cleaning the SIM card - tried
- Hard reset - not tried yet, I don't want to have to re-install all the apps
This forum has suggested setting the setting the second drop down on Network Management to My ISP instead of My Work Network (which seems to be a WAP network). That helped for a while then it stopped.
GPRS thinks it has connected (showing the G icon with various arrows) but just doesn;t transfer any data.
Is this a hardware fault? I have a good signal on WiFi and GPRS but connectivity just comes and goes.
Any ideas?
Jon
It also forgets http proxy settings on the work connection when you run Internet Explorer. So annoying! The orbit is unusable if you need to set a proxy for your wifi.
I am having problems of GPRS connecting when i don't want it too!
Does anyone know of an app or setting that will make the orbit require authorisation to go connecting to GPRS? So i am in control of when i spend money!
I've been looking into this myself and found this on another forum.

I have just installed it and it works perfectly.

excellent mate! ... just what i need..
cheers for that!
Anyone able to connect to the home page in WM6? I used wpbear's cabs to setup up medianet settings. Web works and sling mobile works fine. But can't connect to Medianet.
In WM5, I connected using http://home.
Anyone figure this out?
I use device.home
i dont know about wpbears cabs, but do you have 2 options in your connections? one for MyIsp and one for Media net? if so you will need to switch to media net in order to get to it, as it needs the proxy! If the proxy is missing from the configuration then it wont go to it
I didn't use any cabs...I just configured mine by creating a new network connection and named it Cingular. Then use wireless.cingular.com and localhost as the proxy, create a new modem associate with this connection with apn= wap.cingular and username [email protected] password CINGULAR1... then just hit the browser with http://device.home it will connect to cingular's medianet. You can also create a new network connection named it WiFi, leave all settings blank and use this setting for the wireless.
The only interesting thing I found out is that if you have a online account with Cingular..after you logged in, you'll noticed that it automatically detected your HTC tytn phone..even you change it to other type of phone, couple hours..it will detect that you have a HTC tytn. If I put the SIM onto a Motorola K1, it will show unknow phone...interesting.

Cingular configuration?
I don't want to have to re-create my internet connection everytime I flash my 8525. Anyway to backup my settings or creating a script that will automatically configure my device to use the Cingular configuration?
Thanks

Accessing & Using the internet via USB
I have an unlocked HTC S620 & TyTN (Hermes).
When I connect the TyTN to the USB I am able to browse the internet as the phone uses the PC as a gateway automatically.Even if I do not setup a profile for activesync and the software recognises the device as "Guest". I am ceretain that this is the case and not accessing the service via the carrier or WiFi as I have enabled flight mode and been able to use the internet on the TyTN, browsing, using IM+ Mobile Mesenger etc.
I do not find the same functionality with the HTC S620 (T-Mobile Dash). Does anyone know how to get this functionality going?
Usually you always need to make a partnership for internet pass through to work. Strange you don't with the Hermes.

When you say partnership I asume you mean bluetooth.
I Turned on Flight mode and diabled bluetooth on the TyTN, connected it to the PC. Activesync came on and I cancelled setting up a profile so it was registered as guest. I got internet access via the usb cable connected to the PC. The same is not working for the S620.
I guess the distinction between the two is the TyTN is a Pocket PC and the S620 is a smartphone. There are various Ethernet Miniport Cards available for configuration on the TyTN. You find these under Settings>>NetworkCard>>Network Adapters. The one I find that shows up as connected is IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wifi Adapter, this I find strange as the device is in flight mode. The S620 does not have all the features and configurable network adapters under settings. Simply put a smartphone will not have all the networking capability of the Pocket PC
Let me know your thoughts please, or if you have another solution.
Here is how I got mine working.
1) Connect phone to pc.
2) Make sure ActiveSync shows connected.
3) Under ActiveSync Window select File->Connection Settings...
4) Change the "This computer is connected to:" setting from "Automatic" to "The Internet".
5) Under you phone go to IE -> Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Connections and make sure "Automatically detect settings" is enabled.
That's it. You should now be able to browse the internet through your pc connection.
Forgot to mention I am using ActiveSync ver 4.5.
Dash Internet Sharing Files on S720
On my HTC S720, there was no Internet Sharing option, even though it is WM6 unit. So after reading lots of threads on here and hofo, found out Blackjack had similar issue, as well as some WM5 devices running AKU 3 or higher.
So I copied intshrui.exe, intshare.dll and intshrui.lnk from Dash WM6 Rom dump, created relevant registry entries as:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\intshruiapp]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\intshruiapp\DefaultIcon]
@="tapres.dll,-14294"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\intshruiapp\SelectIcon]
@="tapres.dll,-14295"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINTERNET_SHARING]
"0"="MSINTERNET_SHARING"
"1"="IntShrUI.exe"
"2"=dword:00000001
"3"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINTERNET_SHARING\Session]
@=hex:00,db,4d,43,70,b9,c7,01
Then run intshrui.exe and while I can connect via Bluetooth PAN, I couldn't get any IP. I also tried a static IP and that didn't work as well. I investigated a little more, and found another key:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing]
"DisabledOnBoot"=dword:00000001
"EnableAddressTranslation"=dword:00000001
"EnableDhcpAllocator"=dword:00000001
"EnableDnsProxy"=dword:00000001
"EnablePacketFiltering"=dword:00000001
"PrivateInterface"=""
"PublicInterface"=""
"SetLastDhcpAddrToIEH"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\Driver]
"Dll"="ipnat.dll"
"Flags"=dword:00000002
"Index"=dword:00000000
"Prefix"="NAT"
Then I copied ipnat.dll to s720. Here is the interesting part. If HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing exists, intshrui.exe will not connect, it will briefly grey out and come back to disconnected mode. As soon as I delete the key, it will setup USB or BT PAN and wait for connection (left soft key turns to Disconnect). I don't even have to reset the unit while making change to this key. Also, I left the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing as empty, and noticed as soon as I run intshrui.exe, it will populate
"PrivateInterface"=""
"PublicInterface"=""
keys under ConnectionSharing key. I also tried to change various reg keys, such as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\IpEnableRouter to 1, and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Connectivity]
"InternetSharing"=dword:00000001
None helped as well.
Am I missing a file or reg key to make this work? I looked on my Dash for various keys/files but didn't see anything useful.
has anyone figure out how to get internet sharing on wm6?
Have a look at;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1517183&posted=1#post1517183
I posted up the files and a .reg file taken from my WM6 Dopod 838, but I don't know if everything required is there. If anyone knows what else is required I'm happy to copy it from my device and post it here.
Would you mind posting ipnat.dll - it is missing from Blackjack II WM6..

6.1 Internet Sharing Problem *R.I.P.*
Has anyone figured out why Internet sharing NO LONGER works with any 6.1 roms that i flashed to? From Kavanas ROM s to Ricky's Remakes.
Is there a fix to this?
Can any of you "smarter" Gents or Ladies, look into this.
this is wierd. who is your operator? mine works just fine with the settings i use. maybe we should find out if this problem only exist for certain operators. might also have to do with the network connections on the pc. like i said in another post, i noticed a new network connection appears when you sync the phone, unlike in wm6.0. another thing is i would have problems with activesync everytime i flashed to a new rom without doing a uninstall & reinstall of activesync.

Shouldn't be operator issue. Worked great prior to updating to 6.1. (T-Mobile USA)
What rom are you using?
damn u were quick to respond. i edited my first post. im usin the new v15 rom. and tmobile is my operator.
ediit: i just messed with my settings and went back to how i had them before and now its not letting me do the internet share. hmm... this is not cool
Iv used V14, V8 and V5 and none of them allow my internet sharing to work. V5 worked at first but then stopped.
I really like 6.1 but I NEED that internet sharing
WHAT settings are talking of? that work for you?
INTERNET VIA USB PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!
ok i think the problem may be with activesync. like i said, in my second post edited, i had messed with the advance settings of connections menu, and reverted back and it stopped net sharin via usb. i noticed activesync gave me an error sayin somethin about not being able to fully connect but i was still able to browse my phone, also giving me a constant animation of the activesync icon, saying "connecting" never stopping when a full connection is establish. when i fixed this and the icon stopped turning and said "connected" i tried and it worked.
on a fresh install of the past couple of roms, this is what i did... (from an earlier post of mine)
this is what i did. use the "connection setup" in the accessories folder. choose country & operator. dont think it matters but i also selected "Enable Auto Configuration" under the menu.
in explorer, under "menu/tools/options/connections" Auto.Detect Settings is selected. under "Select Network" choose The Internet.
now go into ur phones "Connection" settings, select "GPRS". in my case, select, "T-Mobile WModem Link", under "Connects to", select The Internet. for other operators, guess look for somethin similar. now u should be able to share via usb.
one thing u might have to do is, delete whatever gprs settings u have now and power off and back on. then do the above.
sorry if this is so messy looking
Can you post the entry "seetings" for "T-Mobile WModem Link"
I manually entered my connections.
So i dont have the modem link
Hi All
I have the BT Anywhere HTC620.I upgraded to the "RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE" but i carnt find the BT network in the phone settings only Vodafone Orange O2 & T-Mobile. can it be changed over? or will i have to stick with WM6.
Thanks

Hi.
BT Mobile uses the Vodafone network and that's what it displays on the homescreen.
Beware, the Vodafone settings wont allow you to SMS/MMS as you AREN'T a Voda customer.

Haven't tried this but I think it sends the BT settings to your phone.
There is also 'BT Services' under the Start menu on mine, but that might have been added automatically once I set it up manually - worth a look though.
Hope it helps.
Thanks i will give it a try

Which settings are you missing?
I use Ricky's ROM v23 and BT Anywhere.

Does it show BT for the network, cos mine is on Vodafone. Another thread say the BT use the Vodafone network. could you point in the direction of "Ricky's ROM v23 "
and i will give it a try. I have even put the original BT rom back in and found the network code for BT (23415) and with wm6.1 it still comes up with Vodafone.

I flashed my 620 with the original BT rom and found these settings for GPRS and GPRS MMS, then put the “RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE” rom back in.
Go to Settings, Connections, GPRS and add the 2 following settings they seem to work, (will let you know when I get my next bill in )
NAME BT GPRS
CONNECT TO THE INTERNET
ACCESS POINT btmobile.bt.com
USER NAME bt
PASSWORD bt
AUTHENTICATION TYPE NONE
PRIMARY DNS 0.0.0.0.
SECONDDRY DNS 0.0.0.0.
IP ADDRESS (leave blank)
NAME BT GPRS MMS
CONNECT TO WAP Network
ACCESS POINT btmobile.bt.com
USER NAME bt
PASSWORD bt
AUTHENTICATION TYPE NONE
PRIMARY DNS 0.0.0.0.
SECONDDRY DNS 0.0.0.0.

Thanks for the settings, just gone with the upgrade 2 and it looks sweet.
How do i get the settings for answer phone?
