Orbit connectivity driving me mad

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.

How to: Cingular and PIE

Hello everyone, I have a hopefully easy question. I noticed on some roms, I do not need to have the cingular proxy checked on to visit cingular video and medianet home using PIE. I like that because I can still stream in WMP.
How can I add that setting to the browser in my new rom (new rom does not have those native PIE settings, as now I must have the proxy on to view cingy sites, crippling my WMP)? Or how can I set WMP to work even with the medianet proxy?
Thank you.

phathead785,
Check the Custel rom threads. Custel has a nice cab for the Cingular settings (v.2), including server assigned ip addresses. Wap, Medianet, & mms.
Custel has a cab called : Custel Cingular Applications, which installs all the Cingular apps, e.g., xm, mobitv, streaming video/audio, proxy on/off app,etc..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305897
I've used these cabs on many different wm6 roms.
When you use the Medianet streaming video, you need to configure the realPlayer specifically for MediaNet in options.
If you install StreamingPlayer from a rom or a cab, then you can also get streaming video on your Cingular data connection, but you must re-configure StreamingPlayer as the default in registry. This is in HKEY Classes Root/rstp registry entry area. It will show RealPlayer as default. That doesn't mess up the streaming when on MediaNet connection for Cingular videos.
Looks at threads of Custel latest wm6 rom offering. His roms are generally excellent & he helps you get the correct addons.

Thank you for all of that info...
but I would like to be able to get to the medianet home page with the proxy off....
I know there is a way to internally imbed the proxy settings into the PIE so only PIE picks up on it...
can anyone help?
Thanks

In two words: you can't

that's where your mistaken. I've done it before...using lvsw cingular optomized and black cingular optomized roms. if you are using either one, remove the proxy, the medianet page wil still load...
so how can I make my non cingular optomized rom do that?
thanks

Can you elaborate on this a bit? How are you removing the proxy and what is "the medianet page"?
By "lvsw cingular optimized" ROM, do you mean mine?

by unchecking it in the connections.

You have a manually configured proxy, then, and therefore you've got to either uncheck it or switch connection profiles to bypass it. The optimizations in my ROM (among others) employs an alternate technique that circumvents all that.

how can I adapt my current rom to do that? Is it a bunch of registry settings that get changed? I appreciate your help

WM6 internet problems!

I have the AT&T 8525 and i just upgraded to WM6 and when i turn my wifi on and then try to connect to the interent by opening my internet browser it says that the connection was lost or what ever. I know my wifi is working though because i have other programs that use the interent and they connect fine! Anybody have any suggestions or help they can guide me through to get past this? Thanks!

yea im having the same problem....

Same here. But I use Opera so it doesn't bother me to much.

Same thing
I experience the samething as well. I did not test connection with other applications but PIE didn't work with Wi-Fi turned on. Thanks

I have the same problem. However, i managed to solve the little bug.
all you have to do is press start menu, click programs, and look for proxy manager, and diable proxy.
It should fix your IE problem when connect using wireless.
good luck!

You wont be able to use wifi with the MediaNet profile, change it to My ISP.. you might also need to change the isp.cingular APN to wap.cingular it depends on what type of data plan you have in the billing system. if you have isp.cingular which is for laptop connects which gives you a real IP then isp.cingular should work.

The other day I flashed to the Black Majik ROM I couldnt connect to the Internet. I changed from MEdia Net to myisp and I was connecting to to the Internet with something called "hspda" I think. I got an H in the status bar instead of the 3g symbol. Is that faster or slower than 3g?? sorry If I sound retarded. English is my second language but I'm trying also I'm not to familiar with windows as I use Linux and BSD on my computers.

Using my TP2 as a Router

Hi guys,
as said, i try to use my TP2 as a router, via my T-mo connection. I have an unlimited dataplan, and flashed the EngeryROM from Warhawk i guess.
Here is my Problem:
I can't access certain sites while using my TP as a router, and what annoys me the most is, that i cant run icq or steam on my laptop, using the TP...
Altough, icq runs on my TP.
Is this a port problem, or is it because T-mo blocks it?
Or any other idea?
Any help would be appreciated

I can't imagine that they'd block it. I'm not entirely up to speed on using the phone as a router, is it possible that the ports are blocked? Does the phone have an interface you can connect to similar to that of a traditional router? (IE tether your phone to your computer, once connected run an ipconfig and then type the address of the default gateway into your browser and see if there's an interface?) I might be way off base with that, though.
As an aside - I'm not sure what T-mobile's deal is with "unlimited" data plans. If it's anything like AT&T then once you cross that 5GB line you'll probably be on watch (from what I've gathered online), so you might want to look into that if it is your intention to pull a lot of data downstream from the likes of steam.

not familiar with t-mobile's data connection/setup but maybe its a proxy issue? try disabling the proxy if there is one and see if that helps.

I am using Energy Rom on my Tilt2 but I am on ATT
I had exactly the same issue.
Basically I had to disable proxy (which is a trick to get it to stick)
and switch to a different APN
I know it may not help but the default AT&T apn is wap.cingular
I use isp.cingular which supports direct connection without a proxy.
I am not sure how TMO does it's connections, but this may point you in the correct direction.

I guess its the proxy, cause i definitely know, that it's not volume limited.
Can anyone link me a tutorial or describe me how i can change that proxy or whatever, cause i'm really a noob when it comes to this...
The TP2 is my first WinMo device, so i ain't that experienced yet...

If you start WiFi Router, is there a choice for the internet connection in the lower area? I remember that I had several preconfiguratet connections on my MDA V when I got it from T-mobile. Maybe you can choose another connection there and it works. Did EnergyROM automatically set up your connections after flashing? Maybe you try these settings:
Name (Profilname): T-Mobile Internet
APN (Zugangspunkt): internet.t-d1.de
Benutzername: internet
Password: t-d1
DNS-Adresse: 193.254.160.001
IP- / Proxy- / Gateway-Port: 9201
Verbindungssicherheit: aus
GPRS-Ablaufzeit 2 Minuten

hey, tried out your settings, they seem to work, but i still cant connect with steam and icq -.-
i can only select the t-mobile internet connection in the wifi-router.
aaaaand i cant find the field where to enter this gateway port stuff you wrote.

Hope this links hel you:

Nope, still not working. These tuts just show how to establish a connection, but i already got one. The problem is, that i can only access the internet via browser
No steam, icq, skype or else, which is pretty annoying, cause i don't want to pay an extra 25 euros for a surf stick by tmo...
