Hi. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with my connection problems. I have a touch pro 2 with Winmo 6.5 running the energy rom. I don't have a data plan so in connections I changed the preferred networks for programs to "my work network." The problem is that when I connect to my home network through wifi, neither of the installed browsers work. I have opera 10 and skyfire and they both can't connect. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help.
It's been a while since I used Tilt 2, but I think you need to change proxy setting in Setting and connection. I could be off, but I seem to remember that being an issue.

First of all thanks to Schap. I am using schap's compiled WM6.
I have 2 small problems.
The first one is:
I setup a WIFI connection, than launch the application which will use Internet!
(I.Explorer or VPN, etc..)
When I do some request from any application, my PPC tries to dial a number to connect via EDGE, GPRS or HSDPA, even PPC is already connected to Internet!!
The internet explorer downloads the page without any problem but at the same time i always cancel dialing via gsm or umts line.
Is there any way to make PPC avoid dialing a connection when I connected wia Wifi???
The second one is:
I have the latest version of Trinitiy with 400Mhz Samsung and 128Mb RAM. But since i cracked and reinstalled WM6 instead of WM5, it works slowly. I clicked to Start button, menu scrolls in 3 seconds. It is like running vista on pentium III processor. Is it normal? or I made a mistake during configuration?
Is it possible to upgrade RAM?
Regards to everyone...
For your 2nd problem, can you try to disable cleartype and touchflo ?
Thanks..
Now it is working faster. But i have always the same problem concerning the wifi issue...
When I am connected to the internet via Wifi or activeSync the bottom of IE says "Connecting ... 0 KB." At the same time it tries to connect via 3G, GPRS or EDGE. Then I get a message saying "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your settings, tap Settings."
I have tried everything on connection->settings. But still tries to connect via cellular line even there is a connection to internet!

I think i have the same problem, but in my case, it connects internally, so, when i click the internet button, i get a delay of like 15 seconds before to get any screen. this is happennig recently... it was working fine until 1 or 2 days ago... i have the proxy settings on the internet connection... im thinking that this maybe related.
I've got my Touch 2 pro a few days ago, loving it so far apart from one really annoying issue.
I can't seem to sign into windows live messenger!
whenever i try it gives me :
Windows Live is temporarily unable to connect. You may be out of coverage for data connections.
what I've tried so far is:
when I connect to WIFI in my house - it connects fine.
disconnect from wifi and try again - fail - same message.
all this time I'm showing a full strength HSDPA connection - 4 bars.
I can surf the net using opera and IE, can use apps like youtube and facebook.
I took my new T-mobile sim out and put it in my old HTC Wizard - after reconfiguring the settings I can connect fine, surf the net and connect using the messenger app.
put in my old O2 sim which still has active data connection into my touch2 pro, tried to connect with this - same message.
tried a soft reset - same.
tried a hard reset - same.
phone t-mobile and verified I have unlimited data package (web & walk combi 30), confirmed with this this is full data and not just http.
all seems to be pointing to the client installed on my touch2 pro, yetI can't understand why it would work over wifi and when connected via activesynch yet not over my phone data connection.
Any ideas/insight would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know where I could find another copy of Windows live messanger to install and test?
Fixed
after finding and reinstalling the new version of windows live, flashing the rom etc still same.
The culprit turned out to the auto network configuration settings. It had put on a proxy server. Disabled this and it's now working fine.
Weird. but fixed at least!
I have the similar issue, can you please shed some more details as to what I have to do to disable proxy server.
Sure,
Go to Start > Settings > All Settings. Hit the connections tab and click connections. Go to manage existing connections. Click the proxy settings tab. disable the "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet".
So I've been using the Tom coding package that installs the mobile Wi-Fi router with no problems until last night... now it keeps trying to connect to ISP.Cingular and then stops... it basically doesn't work now. I've tried to uninstall and reinstalled it dozens of times with no luck.
And yet... the 3G connection works because I can browse through Opera. So...?
OhI might add that I can turn on the Wi-Fi and connect to my in-house router just fine and do what on the internet through the phone. SO... it is definitely something specific with wireless internet sharing.
???
Someone please he me I use internet sharing DAILY
You need to make sure that it is connecting to the correct address. At the bottom of the App, it should have a few different choices of connections to use. Try another one and see if it works. You may have to set up a new connections for this to work properly. Keep in mind that tethering/mobile hotspot is not covered by AT&T's wireless data plan. It is a separate monthly charge. You should be careful when using it too much at a time, so they don't block or throttle your connection.
The device I am trying to connect with to my Tilt 2 is a Samsung Galaxy Tab, and apparently it doesn't like ad-hoc, whatever that is exactly. I was told on the Galaxy Tab section of this forum that this is the case, and that I need some kind of "mobile ap", although again I do not understand what that exactly means. ???
Ah, see that's much better information. So, no, you probably won't be able to connect without another app doing so. Ad-hoc is, simply put, a connection to another device other than a router which is allowing you access to its Internet connection. If the device you're trying to connect with doesn't allow ad-hoc connections, then the Wifi Router app won't do you any good, as that is the type of connection it uses. Most mobile devices do not natively support this, however. The problem, therefore, is with the Galaxy Tab you have, not with the TP2. Find an app or mod that allows for ad-hoc connections and you'll be all set.
Well is there an apparently for the WM phone side of things that will do non ad-hoc??
No. Ad-hoc is a connection between two devices. Unless you use a router, that's how it's going to be no matter if you are using WM, a laptop, iOS, Android, et cetera. The connection type is determined by the device sending the signal. If it comes from a device, then it is ad-hoc. It is not a problem with the software. That is how wifi was designed to work in the first place. The problem, again, is with the Tab, not the WM application.
Well apparently there is a solution for the Tab that allows it to see ad-hoc networks, so I will try that and let you guys know how it went.
Can no longer connect to Ad-Hoc with Tilt 2
I have been using both the CM Internet Sharing program and the WMWifiRouter with no issues for over a year now on my AT&T Tilt 2.
One day a couple weeks ago I had been using CM to connect my laptop to the internet. everything was just fine as usual.
At some point, I had disconnected and tried to reconnect, and since then I can no longer use either of these programs.
What happens is this...I turn them on and the phone will no longer hold a connection to the ad-hoc network that is created. Up in the status bar I see the icon showing WiFi trying to connect but it will not stick anymore.
I can connect to my office and/or home wifi router still. It just will not connect to the ad-hoc network any longer.
This makes no sense to me at all, since it has always worked and was even working earlier in the day when it stopped working.
I use the tethering frequently and really need to get this solved. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NOTE: I am able to connect using WMWifiRouter using the USB connection option.
Any help? Please?
Hmm...
I had this problem on a stock WinMo 6.1 ROM, I fixed the problem by hitting Advanced in Comm Manager [or go into the WiFi setting in Settings-System] and then connect to an infrastructure point. Comm Manager doesn't like Ad-Hoc points for some reason. Did you try resetting WMWiFiRouter? There's a setting in it for that.
Not that I'm sure any of that will work, I at least got it to connect to normal access points now and make the Ad-Hoc connection, but there's no throughput in the connection and I really don't feel like reinstalling my custom ROM, so I just popped my SIM into my MyTouch. But that doesn't really help you... sorry...
Thanks, but none of that is gonna help.
I have no problem connecting to any normal wi-fi network.
It had no problem connecting to Ad-Hoc for the last year until the other day and NOTHING has changed.
I was using CM Internet Sharing and not WMWifiRouter. I switched back to WM because at least with that I can set it to use USB. But neither program is working with Ad-Hoc now.
I don't even see the setting for infrastructure point. I am not on a stock ROM. I also just realized my signature was old. I'm on a Tilt 2 with a custom Manila ROM.
It's just so weird cause it always worked and suddenly stopped!
Arg!!!!!!
Hi there,
I am using my friend's old HTC Touch Pro 2 as my phone decided to jump into a glass of water.
I have set everything up but my apps (facebook, marketplace, ...) don't seem to use my wifi. I have tested this by turning off my 3G connection and trying the apps. They report, that I have to check my internet connection.
Under Wireless controls > Menu > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks there is a choice of what connection should be used for programs that connect to the internet automatically. But as I go further into these settings it only allows changes for the 3G connection. I'm not sure if this is even the correct settings.
Can anyone shed any light on any kind of solution?
Thanks in advance.
In 2015 still no answer - and I have the same probleme on my HTC TOUCH PRO2 (RHODIUM100).
Hopefully there is a genius that can answer this now

In connection manager - did you check if wifi is turned on?
Hi B-44, yes and i have no probleme connecting and surfing the net with opera or IE.
I looked further in to this, so when I go to settings>All Settings>Connections:
In advanced Network I have turned OFF both HSDPA and HSDPA/HSUPA by choosing disable - Don't like extra charges, since I don't have data plan on this number.
In Comm Manager, only Phone and Wi-Fi is ON
In Connections, there is only these options:
Add a new modem connection
Add a new VPN server connection
Set up my proxy server
Still in Connections>Advanced>Select Networks>Network Management> "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should be using:" The options are:
Lebara MMS
Lebara Internet
My Work Network
My ISP
Lebara is my phone company.
- Dailing rules
- Exceptions
-- None that I can see has anything to do with Wi-Fi. Its mostly modem or VPN. I can't add a Wi-Fi connection here unless its something cryptic as setting up an VPN or Proxy server.
Facebook, wAppstore, Windows Live, Youtube, twitter - can't connect.
Opera, IE, Bing, GetJar - can connect without trouble.
I can login to Facebook through Account Manager, but the App installed won't connect to the net.
I'm a bit lost here How is your phone set up?
JBJ
Will take a look.
btw- which system is your Rhodium running with?
WM 6.5 Professional - CE os 5.2.21887 (Build 21887.5.0.86)
I had asked just to be shure...
Now- i don't really have a solution.
As your browsers work using wifi it may be the apps.
On my wm phones i used to install SPB weather.
Some months ago on all of them SPB data update started to fail
and never ever worked again. No matter if on wm5, 6.0 or 6.5.
I couldn't find any hint or solution.
If you search the web "windows mobile facebook supported" you'll find
some entrys which won't please you.
I presume there's no solution to us using wm.
Hi again, actually I'm not so concerned about FB since I hardly use it - its more the other apps that concerns me. Like the Wappstore, Omarket, and so on, I just added FB because its built in. It would seem that there are programs that cannot, use Wi-Fi - but rather want to use 3G.
Is there someone in this forum who know how to make a registry fix or program(.exe or .cab) to re-direct programs to Wi-Fi instead of always going for the 3G net? I would be nice with a switch where you can flip between 3G and Wi-Fi, just like the Curvefish 3G On/Off widget for android http://curvefish.com/widgets/2g3g-onoff.htm
With kind regards
JBJ
I'm still searching When I have a solution I will post it here
Thanks for you effort
With kind regards
JBJ
Hi, I never found a solution - so I guess you need a data plan to use this phone with the FB and other apps that don't like to use wi-fi.
With kind regards
