WM6 Black 3.0.1 advice please

Hi All,
Wow, Been a while since i had to post on here for help.
OK, before you all start flaming, Yes i have searched for a few days, inc. google and the WM6 Black forum 4winblack to no avail,
Everyone asking but no one answering and just flaming (hence no one can find the answer when searching and leaving them no choice but having to ask)
ME.
Member on here since 2005 ( so no noob, I always search and find )
have a MDA vario II HERM 300
Running Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition 3.0.1
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.10.OLipro
Radio ver. 1.41.00.10
T-mobile UK W+W
OK the burning question that has me stumped.
and i am cringing cause i dont want you to flame throw me.
Windows Live issue
Unable to establish an internet connection. Can this be fixed and How?
I have re installed WM VI black Live & messenger cab but still same issue.
Messenger Sign in as issue
How do i get to sign in there is no where to sign in
just a blank pick and the option to go online.
Are these issues fixed and are they just relevent to WM6 Black or all packages, am tempted to downgrade or switch roms in hope.
Finally as last resort will posket msn work on WM6
Again sorry for asking but i do truly search, it a shame when you do get new users using such a great forum and they get flamed, Remember if everyone is treated in this way, how can anyone search and find the answer.
I have opened countless posts on the subject only to find the person asking flamed and no answer given. This makes it near inpossible to find the correct answer.
Didn't come on to moan LOL. Have a good un all,

Can't help on your other issues as I don't use Messenger or MSN, but I have no trouble with Windows Live with this rom. Connects with no problems.

You need to reenter your 3G modem settings in your connections so that it knows how to connect to the network. wap.cingular and then your 7 digit phone number is hte password.

hmm.. I have seen these issues before in other posts and enouctered some myself. Pimpmyblack has a tab which will allow you to have your gprs/media net on all the time (assuming you have unlimited plan). From my experience there is a bug with live, it doesnt like to establish gprs conn if it is not alread on. I have noticed this with piscel browser too. As much as I hate doing it, my non-hack work around is to open pie and connect to google. this establishes connection w/ gprs. its not ideal, but I have exhaustedly serached for a fix to this too with no avail. hopefully that can hold u over until the geniuses figure somethin out.

Yeah it maybe something with WM6 i think and the way it allows programs to hook up to the internet. For example everytime i use my opera mini i have to first open up explorer to establish an internet connection and then i can start using opera mini. So that maybe what is required for you to do. But i would highly recommend you to just switch over to one of the newer roms that have been cooked. I was on black 3.0.1 and just had to many problems with bluetooth and connections to the internet. So i strongly recommend that buddy.

thanks for the suggestions, glad others have herd of the problem but unable to find fix.
yes. I have tried pimp my black and changed settings to internet always on.
also tried with internet connection open and then trying windows live and messenger but both problems still exist.
shame as accessing my hotmail accounts instantly is a must.
looks like will have to try your suggestion of another ron.
recommendations ?
thanks

Well it looks like This was one good thread. started good and ended good. So lets lock it up if its cool with you guys.

agree, thanks to everyone.
to sum up.
I could not find a fix to the issues I had :-{
I eventually took the advice and changed roms.
now running Custels 2.5 and everything. I mean everything is working fantastic. plus the bonus of office 2007 and live is running great.
I can only suggest black is a little buggy for myself but hey im happy with Custels 2.5
thanks to all again.
try not and leave it another 2 years before I post again lol.

FIDO GPRS SETTINGS HELP FOR IM portal

Before you go on to post "read the wiki" ,"search the thread noob" etcetc
Ive done that and i found no help for it other than some settings, which i already tried(didnt work) and ive gotten more settings from the fido csr
and ive plugged those in but still no.(tested gprs/edge by starting pocket IE)
no connection.
I've gotten the value pack for fido which includes the Instant messaging portal for msn and yahoo where i can chat and message and check email unlimited... now the only problem is i cant connect to gprs/edge to use it.
question 1. how do i get the dam settings to work?
question 2. am i able to use the messenger included in the rom? or do i need to use the one specifically for fido?
question 3. once the previous 2 are answered..... Am I able to make it where only the associated program uses gprs/edge for data..so that way if i use pocket ie on wifi i can still use watever im using with gprs?
ie: surf the net on wifi, while im chatting msn on gprs?
thats all i got for now,
I'm using a softbank x01ht with black majik rom.
Thanks for any help i receive.

When I first got a windows phone I was so determined to get it set for Fido's services. With my Universal it took me days to figure out what the settings were. I thought I knew everything after that. Turns out that there are a bunch of other factors such as MMS won't work until you've exchanged msg's with another FIDO customer. Also internet doesnt work without a proper plan first, it doesnt work like it used to , which was PAYG. Lastly the settings don't kick in until you reset the phone, and even then I have heard stories from some where it took upto half hour for some settings to kick in. I find it so complicated now that I seem to know where all the free wi-fi hotspots are around my area.
I hope this doesn't discourage you from figuring out ur settings through trial&error.

I encounter none of what you said. I dont use MMS so I am not familiar with ..all others is no big deal.
It takes me 30 seconds for set up and I am ready to go.
ps: I am on a unlimited for years.....

Well I guess it mustve been different with the Universal and your Hermes.

thanks for the feedback still havent figured it out as of yet though i do know theres supposed to be a dial out to *90# or something like that cant check the txt i received from fido right now.
anyways i hope to get it up soon, im gonna try to port over the IM program thats in my friends rogers tytn and see if i can change the settings on that thing for fido.
wish me luck

They toys bahave different

You bet money on it. I have an 8125 and also an 8525, both have exactly the same UI to set the connections up, however with exactly the same settings I´m able to surf the WEB, get GMail, all MSN Live services,etc only with my Wizard because with the Hermes I´m able to open just a very few wap sites. I´ve had this problem since day one with my Hermes and looking for a solution in this site and in many others I´ve found that I´m not the only lucky person with a $400 toy that performs worst than the cheapest Nokia, there´s a lot of people with same problem and nobody knows why this happens. (See my signature)

For those who've got it working, could you please share HOW? It would be much appreciated.

T-zones key i have gotten it back to t-zones files posted

Files posted a couple replies down
-------------------
I have looked around the forum and I have not really seen anyway to get the t-zones key back to pulling up t-zones after a flash...anyone know how? Or have the files to place in there? Or will I have to re-flash to t-mobile and extract them? I liked the ability to see my current usage from the handset, without having to log in to see it, and even then you dont get all the info. You only get your minutes....
Thank you in advance!

You can just go to www.mytmobile.com/pda and #646# for minutes, and there are a few other commands for bill and texts, etc.
The T-Zones wap browserhas to be installed all the non-branded roms won't have a branded software.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313491&page=2
Scroll down and download the .cab for t-zones
I'm pretty sure it should work, installing it right now because I need it too lol
edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304398&highlight=t-zones
i think that needs to be installed too, it's winwap

For anyone that cares... i have gotten it to work for me with three files...
drop the winwap.exe into \windows\
and drop t-zones.lnk into \windows\start menu\
and then make sure your data connection is set for wap.voicestream.com and not internet2.voicestream.com
(i creted a new connection for the internet2 and then i went into pim and set it to that connection)
now if you want you t-zones key to run to t-zones instead of celetask just drop short_ie.lnk into you windows folder otherwise you will have to go to your start menu.
i extracted these from the original t-mobile rom!

Hmm, why can't I change the LCD looking font? I changed it to Segoe Condensed but it's still stuck on the LCD font...bleh

Thank You SO Much for the Posts and Help!!!
Thank You SO Much for the Posts and Help Guys!!! I flashed my ROM right after I bought my phone and I just figured my T-Zones was lost (but worth the loss, ha ha ) so this is VERY helpful!! I can see my account again, yay!

ok I managed to copy those files to the phone, but when I run the app, it gives me a connection error: "While retrieving the wap t-zones com the following error occured HTTP error 408. request timeout.
When selecting options, the boxes are greyed-out and I cannot change the URL.
I'm running the 3VOLUTION [WM6.5 STD 21854][Build 3VO.3.00.112509] rom on the HTC dash.

please excuse the previous question.. the problem has solved itself. restarted the phone and things seem to suddenly work.

IE Issues after WM6.1 upgrade

Hi, I upgraded to WM6.1 over the weekend, everything looks pretty cool.. But IE can not get on the internet anymore.
I'm able to check the email okay but IE reports the following error
HTTP ERROR $CODE$
I see the Edge (E) come up when I launch the IE so that means IE is trying to open the connection but does not bring anything back.
Someone please help

That is the same error I get.

I scanned pretty much all related thread did not find anything yet...

Hi, Newbs. When you flashed your phone did you use the "Sticky: The Guide for UPGRADING WM 6 to 6.1 with PICS and LINKS" I'm pretty sure you both skipped a step naughty naughty....
Well if you go to the Sticky and look at post #3 and run your connection setup like you were suppose too, we wouldn't be having this conversation . It honestly should be that simple.
Good Luck

Internet Explorer not working?
I've been able to figure out every other problem with my IE, but now this one has stumped me, and i need help.
i'm using Wifi, and for some reason i cant go to any websites. even a site such as google wont work.
I get an error that says "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again."
and i know for a fact that im not typing in "http://www.google.com" wrong. its not a hard one.
its not my connection. im sitting right next to my wireless modem and router and my computer is working fine. in the Comm Manager i have full Wifi service.
There was at one point when i a site to work, but then IE went back to the IE homepage on its own and wouldnt work again.
SOOO pleaseee, if anybody can help, please do
Thanks guys =]

Not sure if this will help but...
I have found that if I switch networks from my "E" data plan to my home WIFI, or vice-versa, I have to quite IE (press the pink tmobile button and select "close" for IE) then restart it and viola it works. I seem to have to do this anytime I was using IE on one network and then connect to another without my phone being turned off at anytime in between.
Hope that helps.

If you are running Ricky's v24:
Start > Accessories > Connection Setup
Run the Connection setup, select United States and T-Mobile. I think that you'll need a reboot after the settings update.

I 2nd That
That's exactamundo correcto. Trust this man. He is dead on.

having the same problem and after running the connection set up again still getting the "http error $code$ $message$ requestURI=/"
I'm on the 5.99 t-zones. the really weird thing is right after the flash it was working then tried it about 30 min later and nothing. I've tried about 4 different variations of manual settings I can find. Any help?

I'm having the same problem with internet after upgrading to 6.1. Yes I have ran the connection setup and let it reboot, tried it twice with no luck. Txt messages still work, just doesn't seem to access any internet sites. I'm using the 19.99 plan and running Kavana's 6.1 080408 final. I have also tried using the manual settings provided by Tmobile
Any ideas?

does your MMS work?
if not call t-mobile to reenter you into their network. 5 minute call.

do the connection setup then do the tzones hack it worked fine for me and this is the second dash after my first one went out. Not one problem installing anything use search I dont post must as u see but I have done plenty of mods on thru this site without asking questions all the answers are out there just search and read.

ATT TILT 2 on Rogers: Plz Help with Operea and Internet Sharing

Hello~
I recently discover this forum and the info that is available overwhelms me (in a good way)! I am a new user to Windows Mobile and find it some what difficult to "tweak" things...so I pretty much accept the way things are on my phone...except 2 problems...
Anyway, as mention above, I currently have the ATT Tilt 2 on Rogers and everything is great except the Internet Sharing and Opera.
Opera: I tried using the Opera that is pre-installed on it but it won't load as if there is no internet connection. IE, however, works flawlessly....I disabled the Proxy and Opera still won't work....I downloaded the latest Opera Beta and that works fine...It is not a big problem but would like to fix it if possible =)
Internet Sharing: I would love to use my phone as a modem, through USB or Wifi, it doesn't matter. However, every time i plug my usb in, and tried to connect thru USB, it will just give me "Error APN"...i talked to HTC and they said the software was only designed to work with AT&T...so I don't know.....
However, I download WMWIFI Router last night and it works flawlessly...but since it is a trial, it won't work after 21 days...So I was hoping i can solve this problem before the trial expires...
Any help or guidance would be great! Thank you all for reading this and your contribution =) Have a great day!!

I too have the Tilt2 on the Rogers network and i have the same problem with InternetSharing (i.e. using the phone as a modem). Did you manage to make any progress yet?

I've got the Tilt 2 working on Fido, so it can be done. Here's how:
On the AT&T ROM there is a shortcut to disable the proxy in Start/Tools/Proxy Manager. However this only works for IE. To disable the AT&T Proxy in Opera also, edit
\Windows\Opera\opera.ini
and set the Use HTTP and Use HTTPS proxy settings to 0, then soft reset.
You can change the settings in opera:config, but they didn't stick after a soft reset.

Thanks moltenfire. it worked for me!

Nobody answered the question about the "Error APN" message.....?/?

Thanks Moltenfire. Editing the INI file worked for Tilt 2 on AT&T!!

I am on Rogers with a Tilt 2.
When I was using the stock ROM I had to remove the ATT Proxy in opera:config before any internet connection would work. Not sure if this is the issue for you...
I have swtiched to Josh's Basic Black ROM and the WiFi Router and Opera work flawlessly. Sharing the internet connection over the USB cable also works just fine.
Cheers
