AT&T MEdia Net Issues - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

AT&T MEdia Net Issues - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I was having issues with my MEdia Net on AT&T. Every so often I would get the message that "The remote party has ended this connection" and when I would try to edit the MEdia Net settings to make sure they were good I would see "The connection is pre-configured. It cannot be modified."
It turns out that settings \\HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations\MEdia Net\ReadOnly to 0 allows editing of the connection and then removing the username and password that are specified for the MEdia Net connection makes the connection more stable.
I wanted to put the solution I found in one concise place as I had to dig around quite a bit to find this answer.
In case you want to add back in the username and password for some reason they are [email protected] and CINGULAR1. See http://208.74.204.154/t5/forums/for...age-id/53168/print-single-message/true/page/1 for more information.
I have also included a CAB that will turn off the read only setting for MEdia Net in case you won't want to have to mess with the registry. I hope this helps someone.
UPDATE: I also found that my settings kept setting to ims.cingular randomly for an unknown reason, which of course breaks my connection. I could reset my phone to get it back to wap.cingular, but that is a pain. I therefore deleted all the other connections on my phone using the Connections applet in Settings. Under the Advanced tab you can choose Select Networks, then Edit every network in the list except for MEdia Net and delete it from the General tab. Then just make sure that both the Internet and Private Network settings are set to MEdia Net and you should be good.
UPDATE 2: The problem of my settings reverting back to ims.cingular continues to happen randomly. I searched my registry for any instances of ims.cingular and found one at HCLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\APN which I changed to wap.cingular and updated the CAB file below to make that change as well.
UPDATE 3: The problem continued. When seems to have fixed it for good was to delete the MEdia Net settings and then to add the settings to My ISP. The only thing that needs to be set is an access point name of wap.cingular. There is no username and password. That change has worked for over a week for me now. You'll still need the cab below to unlock MEdia Net so you can delete it.
UPDATE 4: The problem still came back. The latest thing I tried was to change the name of the connection to Cingular instead of the standard MEdia Net. That seems to have worked for a few weeks now. I also made the same change to my wife's phone and that seems to be better as well. The attached CAB will make the connection editable and then you can rename it on your own.

THANKYOU!
You saved my butt on this one. I was helping an end user of ours on a HTC Tilt 2. The AT&T Tech's insisted that troubleshooting this problem was going through and clearing out the cookies,cache, and history inside the Opera Browser.
What a total crock of .... I kept explaining to her that it's the DATA CONNECTION not THE FRIGGIN INTERNET BROWSER.
Anyways, simply running the attached cab to allow me to edit the media net settings let me correct the ims.cingular setting which solved the entire problem right away.
After clearing those 3 settings in Opera both techs insisted that to fix it I had to do a hard reset. I was furious. I knew they were taking the easy way out of it and I wasn't about to tell this guy that is billed out at over $300 an hour that AT&T was too lazy to properly fix the problem so we just had to reset the entire phone and all your stuff is lost.

Int Explorer Connections

Help Please
Brand new trinity and first time I used zap onto internet via wifi.
Since then never been able to access again. Wifi, GPRS all no go. Msg "cannot connect with current settings" I have checked and had works IT check all settings fine.
Is there a bug? or can does anyone know where I can download Internet Explorer for W6 and see if that is problem?
Regards

I too have suffered this problem. The way I have fixed it is to go through the settings not changing anything and save them. It doesn't happen often but this seems to fix my problem. Doesn't bother me too much as it only takes about 20 seconds to got through the settings and save them.
Hope this helps. If not try flashing with a different ROM.

GPRS not connecting??

I have done multiple searches and have not found anything. WIFI works, but gprs will not connect, i've tried disabling proxy and everything. I am currently using schaps 3.60a and the error i get is the answering modem has disconnected to check your connection settings click setting tab. I have not seen this error before. I've flashed multiple 8525's before. I have one working perfectly fine, and this is a second one i followed the exact same steps but gprs will not work no matter what.

I'm suddenly having an identical or almost identical problem on VP3g's ROM. My Wifi connection with PIE works fine and I'm getting push e-mail delivered. But when I try to connect off WiFi as I had always done before, I get the message:
"Cannot connect with the current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings"
I've checked my settings and they seem correct and the same I always used. I've checked to see that my NoData settings were not inadvertently set wrong, but Media Net is Enabled. I've tried flushing temp files and cookies. I even tried erasing them and then reestablishing them by going online with WiFi. Finally I also tried using Opera.
Nothing works. This is maddening
The only thing strange or different is that I had set HTC Custom for temp files to be on my SD Card and when I now tried to set them on main memory (to see if somehow that might work) I get a series of error messages each time and files remain on SD.

Is it possible for the radio for gprs to be corrupt?? Or it could it be something simple as a registry edit? On the phone it is instantaneous when you try to connect to gprs it kicks back that message right away. So i know for sure gprs/edge is inop. Not sure why though.

Check with your operator
It happens to me once in a while even when the "E" shows up in the display indicating Edge abailability, but reality is that the network is down or highly congested.

chhuong I think you are right and it must be a corrupt registry entry. I know that the visible settings are correct.
It occurred to me that I have been using NODATA to turn off GPRS reception whenever I wanted to use Wifi and perhaps one of the times I set it to be disabled and then enabled it again, it must have been left as disabled even though it "says" that it has been re-enabled. Also I had a problem trying to change the cache from Main to SD, and would keep on getting errors whenever I did, using HTCustom. So probably at some point some registry corruption must have crept in. Unfortunately I've become too lazy to open the registry editor and dive in to find out where it might be.
Anyway, I finally got tired of it not working and used the problem as an excuse to move from VPG's 3.60.1 to 3.60.2. I reflashed this morning and it's been fine ever since. This time I won't use NODATA.

well actually i've tried flashing multiple roms and multiple radios, and nothing, still no gprs? So mine might be an internal fault?? Has anyone ever heard of that happening??

have you tried: start - settings - connections -connections - advanced - select networks - Media Net? Reverse it back to my network when you to use WIFI.

I've got similar problem after reflashing. Try to run Shap's Advanced configuration tool, select Connections tab and click Enable HSDPA. Don't ask me why, but it helped me to solve the problem, even there is no HSDPA available here...

I am having the same problem but i dont think its schaps rom, i think it happened either after i installed the 1.54.10 radio or after i installed the shogun cabs. If a moderator or senior could point us in the right directions, it would be much appreciated.

I tired that many times, but it didnt help, thanks anyways.

FWIW, I was able to clear this up the last time it occurred by going in to Menu > Tools > Options > Memory and clearing the History, deleting files and clearing cookies, then soft reset, and everything was okay.

Try this cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=54309&d=1192447925, and if it doesnt work try enabling hspda, and if that doesnt work, try calling your provider and ask them to make sure that your account is enabled for data. I tried all that, then, because i dont have a data plan, but i use pay per usage, i went to ATT's site and added a data plan. Now it works, so i think its disabled on ATT's side. GOOD LUCK FELLOW HACKERS

Tilt2 Facebook app and stocks tab only connect over WiFi

The Facebook app and stocks tab (on TouchFlo3D) on my ATT Tilt2 no longer update except via WiFi (they both update perfectly over WiFi).
The built-in Facebook app seems to login fine. But refreshing info just hourglasses endlessly. I don't think this has ever worked right.
The Stocks tab on the TouchFlo3D Today page also never updates. Just times out with a Connection Error after a minute or so. The Weather tab works fine. Stocks tab worked at one point, but no longer updates.
Is there some kind of proxy thing going on? I've previously disabled the ATT proxy in order to get the YouTube app to work (which works perfectly now). I had to edit the registry to make the change stick, per the instructions on the ATT forum by Vendetta on the following page (near bottom of page 2): [URL="http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&thread.id=123280&view=by_date_ascending&page=2."]http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&thread.id=123280&view=by_date_ascending&page=2. [/URL]Disabling the proxy using the built-in CAB worked, but the proxy would be restore after a soft reset. I've poked around the registry a bit for proxy entries which might be causing the above issues, with no luck.
Opera, IE, and everything else I can think of work fine over the wireless data connection.
I've searched around on these forums and Google, and haven't found any significant mention of a similar issue. Any ideas?

Anybody? I know there are a mess of smart people here with some ideas . . .

You could try this:
go to start-settings-connections-connections, advanced on the bottom tab then select networks. Make sure your primary data connection is selected in the first drop down box.

Everything looks in order under the Connections settings, but thanks for the tip.
Strangely, both the Facebook app and the Stocks tab spontaneously started working again today, after not working for 1-2 months. They seem to be working perfectly, and update in a couple seconds. I haven't changed a thing on the phone. So it would appear that perhaps something was happening on ATT's end.

Aghhh. The problem has returned. Again, I haven't changed anything. So something is happening on ATT's end. I've also noticed that the WeatherBug app has the same problem, only updates via WiFi.
Really annoying!

I have the opposite problem... stocks update in seconds and weather gives me "connection error while attempting to download weather data"
Any suggestions? Everything else works fine, internet, email (pushed from hotmail), etc.

Offical confused...this morning everything works fine.

Stocks tab only thru WAP
I have the same issue. Stocks tab not connecting thru wireless internet, only WAP (wireless application protocol). Have to stop current connection and reconnect using WAP setting. However, with WAP weather tab not working. Also in WAP, usual internet web pages cannot load, only web pages meant for mobile phones can load.

Missing data connection??

My stock Tilt2 has all of a sudden given me problems with the data connection. It tells me when I try to open apps such as FIM or the Weatherbug app that I don't have a data connection and I need to refresh it. I click refresh and still no luck. The thing is, it shows that MEdia net is connected. I can use the internet without any problems, though. It just seems to be when I run an app that required connectivity that it doesn't work. It also gave the the error when I tried to update the quickGPS function today.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Any experience this?
I'm sure someone knows what is going on.
I also could not get the Bing app to work right. I could not locate me (even through GPS), therefore could not search for anything nearby. I then downloaded the Google Maps app, and it worked fine! WTF???

Try Settings-Connections-Connection Setup.

That doesn't change a thing......
I don't know what happened. I just tried downloading a new app that also gave me a "failed connection".
Anyone have a clue?

You'll need to search in the forums here for the correct network settings based on what carrier you're with (T-mobile, Sprint, Vodaphone, etc), and go through them and correct whichever of yours have gotten set wrong.

I tried this last night and believe that all my settings are correct. (AT&T)
The internet runs fine using IE or Opera, it only appears to be apps that access the internet, such as the WeatherBug app, FIM, etc. FIM works to see things such as Status updates, etc, but it says "Failed using the internet connectio. Try to restart your data connection" and won't allow me to see who is online on the main page. Everything else thru FIM works fine.
The Weatherbug app gave me a similar error message and would not load any weather data or forecasts.
Here is what I have set, ya'll let me know if things are good.
Start/Settings/Connections/Advanced Network/
I have "Enable HSDPA/HSUPA" selected.
CHAP authentication is selected
CSD Line Type: Data rate 9600 bps(v.32)
Connection element: non-transparent
Start/Settings/Connections/Connections/
Advanced: Network Management:
Programs that automatically connect use: MEdia Net
Programs that connect via Private use: MEdia Net
Under the Wireless Manager, both the "Phone" and "Data Connection" are turned on, everything else is off (and has been since I got the phone. The apps listed above worked this way also before).
I have also gone thru Start/Tools/Proxy Manager/ and done the Restore Proxy as suggested on other threads.
I am at a loss......a Hard Reset is my last resort, as I will have to go through my business to download the Good.com software again to get my work emails going (not that it is a hard thing to do.....)
FYI, I am running the stock AT&T ROM also.
Lastly..... if I did do a hard reset and decided to flash a cooked ROM, could I still run the Good.com Mobile Messaging software for my work email??
Thanks in advance!

I'm on AT&T in Michigan & my GPRS authentication is set "PAP Authentication"

I've tried both with no change in my original problem.

Anyone solve this? I've been having similar problems... WIFI internet sharing lost the relationship to MEdia Net, but Opera and IE work just fine. Now Google Maps won't work, says there's no data network. ANd now, MMS picture messages won't work, says "Proxy Error".
I don't screw with the settings. Ever.
?????

I was having a similar problem with the data side of it. After talking to tech support at AT&T and HTC, no help there, I changed the setting from Enable HSDPA/HSUPA to Enable HSDPA only. Data problem appears to be fixed over 3g anyway. I haven't been using it long enough to say it is ACTUALLY fixed still but it's working at the moment which is more than moments ago.

[Q] Problem while connecting windows marketplace via HD mini

Hi
I have acquired HTC HD mini recently. I upgraded its ROM to new version 1.36.720.X. But still I am not able to connect Windows Marketplace via my mobile. My GPRS connection is set correctly as I am able to connect Facebook and My Phone successfully. I am facing issue with Windows Live and Marketplace.
I always get error while trying to connect Market place that
"There may be a problem with the Marketservice now. Check your internet connection and try again later."
Can anybody provide me solution for this.
Registry value for HKLM\Systems\Versions\Aku is .5.3.3 (Which is due to latest OS version came with ROM) . Hence that earlier fix of changing value of Aku is not workable though I tried it.
I think that there are many unfortunates like me who have faced same problem.
Thanks in advance for help.
regards,
Pranit

Hi
It has been long time and I have received no answer. Please help me as I have been not able to use marketplace. I have tried all solution mentioned in forum but with no effect.

uninstall and redownload marketplace.worked for me.

This solution does not work. I didn't know how to uninstall Windows marketplace. Hence I installed and replaced downloaded version of marketplace app. Need a concrete solution. Just to mention, I am from india. I came across one more user of HD mini who is facing same issue.

I need helping hand here. Kindly somebody give me some solution. Is there any issue while accessing Marketplace from India?

Is your time date correct for your country.
I had the same problem i change the time to right time for my country and marketplace could connect.
I hope you understand my english.

Yes. I have synchronised time with internet. Still no effect. Assume that I have no idea about how to set the local time and guide me. I am really pissed off as my all efforts to connect Marketplace are failed.

go to settings 'time, date", and also check "country and text" just below the tab "time and date" I hope you understand this i have to translate from dutch
Hope this solve's your problem.

Then I have done it correctly. Still with no effect. I just wanted to confirm it. Everything seems just right.

i found this regarding your problem
Have you tried this deleting a reg key that sets the download location for Marketplace.

Can you please tell me where to find this entry in registry?

HKCU\Security\Software\Microsoft\Marketplace;Downl oadLocation
I found this on the forum of mobilitydigest.com.
Maybe you can find a solution for your problem there.
Just typ in Google marketplace bootstrap

tried. But still not working. I am stuck since I bought HD mini.Have tried number of options to connect marketplace and all met with failure. Can you think of other solution?

I have had this problem too. But simply killing the process in Task Manager, rebooting the device and retrying worked for me!

Please tell me which process is to be killed. I tried to locate process and kill it. If I am not wrong then in task manager there is no option to kill process but to kill application.

Kill application worked for me. But killing processes can be done in the Task Manager by clicking Menu => Display => Processes

Hi , I have tried all sort of options now. But I have met no success. Please, please provide me some solution. My HD mini is sort of useless if I am not able to access marketplace. I am not able to buy certain apps which I would like to.

This guy had the same problem as you.
I've had this problem for quite some time and I think I may have found a solution that I didn't really seem to find in many other places. I believe that Windows Marketplace Mobile requires an authenticated connection to connect (network associated GPRS such as AT&T, Edge, 3G, etc...). To connect to WinMo Market with a wifi, I believe also requires authentication. My own personal router is secured with WPA and AES encryption, which my phone can connect to. I had no problems with connecting to the internet via browser (for the most part) with Wifi or Edge. Problem is, for whatever reason, Windows Marketplace did not recognize that my Wifi was authenticated. After playing around for quite some time to figure out why, I stumbled on a program called Advanced Configuration Tool (I own an unlocked HTC HD2). Turns out, my stock ROM had WPA Authentication disabled (which explains why flashing to a new ROM work for people since that option is typically enabled by default). I guess somewhere along the long, my phone had disabled it, most likely by some action of my own. So after re-enabling it in the network settings of the program, I had no more problems connecting to Winmo Market. Additionally make sure that your wireless config on your phone enables IEEE 802.1x network access control (you can adjust this on the actual wireless network setting where you input your passwords). I'm sure there are ways to activate it through the registry, but Advanced Configuration Tool by Touchxperience developers made it easy (it's in the network settings menu).
