Hi, i have a friend who's BA can pick up WIFI. The messenger works fine but when he tried to get a page up, it says page cannot be found. Any ideas?
Check the proxy settings.
MSN Messenger connects using the default gateway or SOCKS4/5 proxy while Internet Explorer uses a the HTTP proxy settings first, if specified.
hi all
i have a xda orbit, aka htc artemis. my service provider, after much delay, helped me to set up the internet settings for my device. now the problem is, they have made me change the port numbers from 80 to 9401 and have set up a connection in "work" settings, whenever i try to download emails from my yahoo account, which supports pop3, it says error in synch and to check my net connection. the same works fine if i connect my device to the pc with internet connection. similar thing happens with most of other apps which use internet
can someone help me on how to change the proxy settings on other apps or how to make other apps use the same connections settings please.
thanks
I asked this n another thread, but no joy.
I installed the latest Kavana ROM, works GREAT. Thanks for that.
But, some questions.
I'd like to understand how all the networks and proxy things work.
I understand how proxy servers work for the PC world, but I don't understand all the various connections and proxies on the smartphone.
I'm on T-mobile, and I used the connection wizard. But then MMS and SMS weren't working quite right, so I applied some other settings from some other posts and right now, it all (IE, SMS, MMS) seems to work.
But, I am not at all confident I could reproduce this if I had to flatten the device again. Is there something I can read to understand the relative significance of all the various named networks: "work" "TMobile MMS" "Tmobile Data" "WAP Network" "Secure WAP Network" and "The Internet" and also the various proxies that route to these various networks?
Do I really need all the connections - I have like 7 of them.
The new-inet:1118 proxy - what is that for?
That hostname, is it really meaningful?
I also have a new-corp:1159 proxy,
with a name of HTTP:{3F31657F... (etc etc guid)}
What is THAT thing for?
I'd feel better if I understood all these settings, when and why I need a proxy. etc etc . thanks for pointers.
Anyone know?
Anyone know the answer to this? anyone have any clues to offer me?
I'm also having trouble w/ the MMS after installing Ricky's ROM. Are you able to pull the MMS settings from your phone and share? Otherwise, does anyone else know all of the settings?

These cryptic settings come from active sync. I see them if I allow my DASH to sync with my office Windows XP machine with networking enabled. and my office trys to use the network my Dash is on. Once these entries are created, I can not use my t-mo net connection (cheap version). But it is all fine, once I delete these unknown entries.
My MMS Settings
Here's what I did to get MMS to work, in and out.
I am using Kavana 1.33 ROM.
1. set up 2 connections:
Start...Settings....Connections....GPRS
Now, either add a New item, or edit an existing one.
Description: T-Mo Web or T-Mo Data or something else similarly descriptive
Connects to: The Internet
Access point: internet2.voicestream.com
Username: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Authentication Type: None
Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
IP Address: <blank>
Done
[the above gets you a connection to the Internet ]
Again, either add a New item, or edit an existing one.
Name: T-Mo WAP or T-Mo MMS or something descriptive
Connects To: WAP Network
Access Point: wap.voicestream.net
[everything else as above]
Done
[the above gets you a connection to the T-mobile WAP network]
Done
[you are in Settings...Connections, now.]
2. set up one proxy
Scroll to "Proxy"
[this is also reachable directly from home screen via: Start...Settings....Connections....Proxy]
New.... or Edit an existing (your preference)
Name: Tmo WAP->Internet
Connects from: Wap Network
Connects To: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Username: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Done
[the above sets up a proxy connection for your SMS/MMS]
Done
[you are in Settings...Connections, now.]
3. Set up SMS preferences
Scroll to "SMS Service"
[this is also reachable directly from home screen via: Start...Settings....Connections....SMS Service]
SMS over: GPRS Preferred
Done
[your are now back in Settings...Connections]
Pess the red "call end" button.
[you are now back on the home screen]
4. Set up MMS on the device:
Start...Messaging
scroll to MMS
Menu...Settings...
Menu (again)
MMSC Settings
Menu...New or Menu....Edit (your pleasure).
[the settings for this MMSC thing should be:]
Name: whatever you like, I used "Picture Messaging"
MMSC URL: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
WAP Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080
Connect Via: WAP Network
Max. Sending Size: 300k (or whatever you prefer)
WAP version: WAP 2.0
Done
Done
Done
HOME
5. set up IE
Start...Internet Explorer
Menu...Tools...Options...Connections
Automatically Detect Settings - This works either way for me, checked or unchecked
Select network: The Internet.
Done
Done
----
All of the above allows me to send out SMS and MMS messages, and receive in such messages, as welll as surf the internet from IE.
I have the $19.99/month T-Mobile internet plan in the USA.
If you have the $5.99 T-zones plan, then I think your settings may be different.
Search elsewhere for that.
ActiveSync creates new-inet and new-corp proxies?

Are you sure? Are you sure those things come from ActiveSync and are not just in the Kavana ROM? I use Windows Vista, and the Windows Mobile Device Center, which is the replacement for Activesync. I have never used WinXP and ActiveSync (on the PC) with this device, but I did have those weird entries. I don't see those odd proxy entries get recreated when I sync with Vista+WMDC.
I assuming that the odd proxy entries that reference "new-corp" and "new-inet", were just "in" the ROM by default. Or maybe they were set up when I ran the Internet Connection Wizard which is in the ROM. I don't know for sure. This is why I am asking you, ARE YOU SURE that those entries come from ActiveSync?
Do they return *every time* you sync?
In any case, lacking any real response from the board, I removed the proxy entries from my device, and for me at least, everything still works - SMS, MMS, Internet, etc.
I hate the fact that this still feels so mysterious.

Damn. I put in all of these settings exactly as shown and still get an "Error Synchronizing" message when I try and send/receive MMS messages. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm on T-Mobile, $20 plan w/ Ricky's 6.1.
I updated the wife's Tilt 2 to the newer ROM over the weekend and no longer can send/receive emails via Pocket Outlook. We are not on the AT&T network, so I have updated the proxy and APN settings, as well as running the Remove Hidden Proxy CAB. Internet works in Opera and IE, Sense weather and stock quotes work, and mail works in FlexMail, just not in the standard client, which she would prefer to use.
Is there another registry setting I need to change?
I recently flashed miui from fresh rom. When I tried to add my yahoo mail account it wouldn't let me add it unless I manually entered the imap servers and only on 3g. Now my yahoo wont work with wifi and im wondering if there's a way to fix this
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Experienced the same thing.
There is a work around. However, you'll have to load up the old ROM and set up your Yahoo mail. After you do, you'll need to go into the mail account and and copy down the IMAP settings that the Android mail server sets up for Yahoo (including the port number).
I'm guessing that the MIUI mail program is an older version that didn't take into account (and big pain in the *ss) settings that are unique to Yahoo like the newer Android mail programs do (which makes it appear flawless...).
UPDATE: Instead of re-installing your old ROM, I just noticed that I wrote down the settings for Yahoo.
Try this in Manual Setup:
Incoming Server Settings:
IMAP
Android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security: SSL
Server Port: 993
Outgoing Server Settings:
IMAP
android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Server Port: 465
Security: SSL
This should fix it for you.

Thanks man! Just installed this ROM and found your post by search after I had the same issue. Worked perfect.
