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..

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
Hi,
Does anyone of you in NYC with cingular medianet Max Unlimited plan able to connect to m.youtube.com without getting "failed to connect network" error message?
It seems to me that Cingular has blocked the ports that streaming video are using? I am using Wifi without any problem.
Does anyone has a clue?
Thank you.
There's no streaming video on m.youtube.com... just some links to movies in 3gp...
I know in Media Net's WAP settings there is a proxy setting---try removing the proxy setting. I know without the proxy setting in place---you cannot access Cingualar's MediaNet page/videos.
I use PDA Net plan --- Could not get MediaNet to work on 3G at the time (also in NY).

Setup 2 profiles on phone. One for MediaNet (includes proxy settings) & another, e.g., ISP, not using proxy. MediaNet connection will work with many sites, but not streaming video or audio.
When you want to go to a site, like youtube or video streaming music, use your ISP profile. Do a search on forum & you'll find a Custel progy for switching between proxy & non-proxy.
If that doesn't work, reply here, as there might be a reg setting that needs to be changed.
Okay,
I'm running Black Satin and I just installed a MOBITV cab. Somehow when it is starting it is forcing my connection over to my ISP settings from cingular and not media net. Then it is sitting there and will not run. When I go to PIE it promptly changes the settings back to Media net. In the Connections>Advanced Tab, both of my drop down boxes have Media net in them. Any idea why this is happening?
hard coded into mobitv id assume..
I agree that it appears MOBITV is referencing this but I'm just not sure how to change/solve it. I tried searching for another cingular settings cab to try and change the settings. Anyones advice would be helpful. Or if someone could post a .cab file with the latest cingular settings I would appreciate it.
Hi all, I have Dopod C720W. My wireless at work use proxy setting to surf the internet..How to set proxy setting in my device so that i can surf the net?

Any ideas on a way to make my Cingular 8525 ask for a confirmation before logging onto Media Net? Either asking if I would like to connect or not.
