Hi Chaps,
I have an o2 xda iis, which I've cherished for many years. A few months ago I managed to upgrade it's original, awful buggy software to wm6.5 which has thankfully put an end to the constant crashing but it has also created a few new problems I was hoping to get some help with.
1) MMS has dissapeared from the messaging menu. I can't send, receive as it's just not there anymore!
2) Wifi connects to my network, assigns an IP but when I open IE (or any other browser), the browser closes immediately. GPRS works fine.
device data :
WM 6.5 CE OS 5.2.21139
wm6.5pro_QVGA HT4.20
ROM DATE 01/01/09
Radio version 1.06.00
Protocol 1337.38
extrom : black kernel
welcome to the forum!
1. mms is not a feature, that is built into the os by standard, it is an add-on application called arcsoft mms, that enables the account in messaging and gives you back the possibility to send, receive and set the mms again. you can find it in the iolite stuff thread, and since you are new, here's the link: -=the link=-
you will find the download link listed under 01.10.2008
2. that is odd!
-would the internet explorer stay open, when you have no data connection at all?
then you could enable the wi-fi afterwards.
-alternatively, do you get a real ip, when connecting to your wi-fi?
a real ip would be something like 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x in contrast to 169.254.x.x, which means, the devices uses dhcp and demands an ip from your access point, but is not assigned one, either because there is no dhcp server or 802.1x authentication failed or there is a MAC filter or the network is 54Mbit only, wpa2 or wpa-aes.
that would mean, that you have a corrupt wireless connection and no data traffic would work anyways. in that case make sure, your router is set up right, that a device that can only handle up to wlan-b, wpa-psk could access it and try a static ip in your network.
still i think it is strange, since under no circumstances the IE should crash, with or without a conection. maybe you want to try another IE version or an entirely different rom, if you can's fix that.
with best regards,
Chef_Tony
Wow thanks for the quick response.
I wasn't aware MMS isn't a standard feature. I'll look into that asap! Thanks! I feel educated.
As for the WIFI not working, I think it's something to do with the Sun Dream rom i'm using. I had read some of the 100+ pages (ugh!) and realised I was sposed to install IE8 after the ROM. This seems to have fixed whatever was wrong. Seems weird to me!
ok. maybe that is why that issue is so weird. since you are using wm6.5 i was assuming you also used the new internet explorer. but also, you wrote "(or any other browser)" in your first post and since not all the browsers are based on IE (some are) i thought, if you had the same issue there, it couldn't be related to IE but must be something with the conection itself.

Hi!
I haven't seen any application that can do this after some time looking for it, and I think it may well be the case with some of us.... let me explain..
When at home, I can have a WIFI connection to my home ADSL which needs a 'clean configuration'.. ie.. DHCP address and NO PROXY.
But, when at the office, I can also get the address thru DHCP, but I need to configure a proxy to be able to connect to Internet....
Plus, at some of the sites I work in, I need not only a different proxy, but a 'manually' configured address.
Well, the question... Is there any application that can help with the switching of environements, based, for instance, in the SID of the access point available?
I've seen apps such as CommMgrPro that can 'switch' profiles based on the pohone cell-id (which could also be fine to define your location), but you can only 'switch ON and OFF the WIFI (or any other) connection, but in no case can I manage the proxy (BTW this is a difficult setting to handle even manually!)
Thanks

Hi all, have a little problem, am going to see if Toms 4.1 rom has the same issue, and something in the back of my mind tells me that it's there by design.
Basically, i connect to two different types of wireless networks, those are:
Work: I go to different schools, all part of the same WAN, the access points are different, keys etc, but the proxy is always 172.1.0.5:8080
Everywhere else: no proxy, random addressing, the usual stuff.
Every time i enter the work proxy server and leave the connections tab, the proxy settings dissapear, it only seems to be the main proxy settings, as the WAP, Secure WAP and Socks settings keep. As soon as i connect to the work network, goodbye proxy, as soon as i disconnect, the proxy settings return.
I really need that to work the other way around.
Currently using Toms B&B 4.0, as previously stated i'll check to see what happens in 4.1, but i have a sneaky idea that it's there for a reason.
Any workarounds? registry hacks?
Thanks
Kai
Still having trouble with my proxy settings, tried B&B 4.0, 4.1 and Artemis touch WWE.
All have the same problem, Proxy server settings dissapear when and only when i use the Work settings for connection. If i use the 'Internet' setup or simply disconnect from Wifi, the proxy settings re-appear.
If i can't get this to work, i'll have to go back to the official rom, all of the other bells and whistles are just fluff, i need this more than anything else.
Thanks
same deal here. they certificate secured services with my problem. connect fine, and get DHCP address assigned, but the proxy server settings don't stick. internal sites are fine, but can't get outside as all access is barred except via the proxies. i figured it was a bug and live with it! please let me know if the official ROM fixes it or you find a workaround though!

Had no problems with proxy settings with the official WM5 or WM6 roms, but with B&B and WWE i've had no luck at all.
I do hope someone knows why this is happening.
Well, think i found the solution to this.
I was thinking that there had to be something specific to the 'cooked' roms which would disable the proxy, and the only thing i could in common with the Three cooked roms that i've tried has been battery status. It's the only utility that mentions specifically 'disabling the proxy for wifi'.
In the options for battery status you will find an option that will do just that, i enabled it(thus theoretically stopping the proxy from working), and then disabled it again. And now when i connect through my work connection, the proxy settings are still active and i can recieve my mail.
**and before anyone asks, i didn't enable the option before **
my BA wm6 with default browser has this IE problem...
earlier this it works perfectly but when I opened it again it says "The address is not valid. Check the address ang try again."
I can't open the sites I usually open...
why is it like that?
can anyone help me with this??/
thank you..
well, i assume you understand the contents of that error message, the page could not be found!
first of all, you haven't given much information about your device or your internet connection, which would be essential for helping you, so i will give you a few tips what to check
when trying to access an internet site, your device connects to your router or your isp for a general data connection. then it needs a dns service to look up addresses you type in, then they are asked to transfer their data to your isp and then to your router or device.
so, the first thing you need to check is:
- is your data transfer working (check isp settings in device)
- or if you connect via wi-fi, check your router's settings
maybe your isp changed necessary settings
2nd, how good is your connection. sometimes a connection is just not stable enough to transfer data, maybe it worked before because you are right on the edge of "enough" and "not enough"
is your dns working, has it maybe changed?
and after all, have you tried -=downforeveryoneorjustme?=-, a service that will check, whether the sites you want to go to are actually online, or not.
maybe that didn't really help you, but to be able to have a more precise image of what is actually wrong there, you should really post more information, like:
model
rom
ie version
type of data connection
country
isp
does the internet not work in general, or just some sites?
give a sample site
and last but not least (although quite unrelated) do you have any browser add-ins, add-ons, extensions or other BS installed? or do the sites require any extensions like java or flash?

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...
I have created a new Windows Mobile application to wake up hosts in a network or over the Internet. Your networkcard and/or PC must support AMD's Wake-On-Lan (WOL), most networkcards and PC's do support this nowadays.
Features
Use Win32 Sense SDK.
Sources files available!
Stores hostname, MAC address and port number using registry.
Wakes up a host in a local area network (LAN) or in a remote area network (WAN)
Support for all screen resolutions
Requirements
A Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone or PocketPC device with access to WAN (wifi/3G/GPRS...)
Computers in your network that support Wake-On-Lan
Change log
V1.3
Uses the latest Manila's SDK V1.3 which improve speed and landscape compatibility
Correct a bug when using WIFI
Add some informations (IP of device & resolved host)

Thank you, I hadn't seen this program before... However, there are some differences as the use of the win32 SDK and the availability of sources.
I hope someone will find the sources usefull
I really need this.. and have no idea what to do. unfortunately, i can't forward a port for a broadcast address in my LinkSys WRT160N.
anyone knows how to set this up?
Set up LinkSys
Hi,
Try to setup your router without the broadcast, sometimes it works... For example, if your PC's IP is 192.168.0.10 and your extern LinkSys's IP is 80.32.3.4, try to set up your router like this :
UDP forwarding:
in port: 12345 for example (you can use any number below 65535)
out IP: 192.168.0.10
out port: 9 (or 7 depands of your hardware)
Then in my app, the host IP will be 80.32.3.4 and the port 12345...
I hope it will be OK...
which app works best?? because there is 2 of these circling around these forums.. and i'm going to use the best one... which is more user friendly? and has the least amount of router input work?? either that... or will the op be so kind and kinda hold my hand and walk me through it via PM?? i will gladly sport your appication
The other application can save the configuration of multiple computers while mine only records one...
Also, mine is not based on dotNET so is slightly faster...
@nir36:
You could also try to use a smaller subnet/range. My router won't allow to forward a port to 192.168.0.255, but I changed the subnet mask to 255.255.255.224 and so the range is from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.30 with 192.168.0.31 being the broadcast address for that range and which I can forward the needed port to.
You can use a subnet calculator if you need more or different IP addresses (do a search for subnet masks on google)
@ProjektFuze:
Least router input work ?? You have to setup your router/computer the same, the program just takes the public IP address, MAC address and port and sends a packet which is the same for both.
I would say WOL everywhere is more complete but this app here is more straightforward if you need it for only one computer...
Thanks for sharing!
Hi, great App and it suits my need perfectly! Almost...
I cant get it to work over GPRS/3G, only on Wifi!
Is that how it should work or do i have wrong settings somewhere, cant find any settings!
Thanks

It should work with 3G... It's probably a router problem !
When using 3g, the IP you set in my app must be a public IP (not 192.168.X.X) and if you have a router, you should tell him to route the packet to your local IP...
If you don't understand (English is not my native language), tell me more about your problem.
Hi!
It is not a router problem, my HD2 cannot even connect to internet in the program, and by an app in android it works perfectly so it is not in my router or computer... Can it by some issue with my rom?
Artemis 31,5
WM 6.5 23576.5.5.0
Manila 2.5.20183025.0
Radio 2.10.50.26

Strange...
When you are allready connected to internet, is the button enabled ?
I have a friend which have an HD2, I will try with his device and post here tomorow... Maybe another application prevents the connection...
I've tested my app on the HD2, and no problems...
My app should show your IP when connection is found. Try to:
-unconnect from 3G and launch wakeonwan. My app will normally trying to connect using 3G. Is this step OK?
-Connect your phone and launch wakeonwan. My app will normally trying to find your IP. Is this step OK?
No, neither works! It only say "Cant connect to internet"! It´s only on Wifi it connects... :-S
Ok, I will try to change the connection process and update it...
To understand the problem, what is the real message printed ?
Can't establish connection to web...
Can't find web connections...
Can't retrieve available connections...
Can't find your IP address...
An other question: is the app searching for a connection or the message is directly printed?
Thank's
Ok, can you try this version ?
remplace the old .exe with this version in /program files/WakeOnWan/
It´s the first one, Can't establish connection to web.
And i will try out the file you posted...
