Registry Edits to Tether? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hey,
I hard reset my phone recently, Before so I found a Registry Edit on Here that allowed me to Tether, using my phone's data connection as internet for my desktop/notebook.
Can't remember the Edit, tried a search, but had no luck finding it.
Can someone point me in the right direction, or know the Edit, thanks.

Pocket IE problem with Wifi (WM6)

I upgraded my ROM to the official Cingular WM6 (got it here). I have a problem with pocket IE on any connection other than GPRS/EDGE/3G.
I cannot browse anything with Pocket IE over wifi/active sync. I tried doing other stuff like checking my email and that works so I know its not the wifi settings on my PC. I also tried to connect my PSP and my NDS and both worked so its not some port problem.
Has anyone encountered this and does anyone know of a solution?
I have a problem with PIE not displaying graphics in full resolution. They are all down sized. view -> desktop no longer shows them at full size.
I'm using vp3gs wm6, with IE cache to card.
Any hints on how to restore graphics to their full size? I'm trying to view my network traffic graphs, and when they are downsized, they become useless. I was running Custel's 1.3 for months without issue.
Thanks!

I found the fix on the WIKI. It had to do with the had coded proxy that they put on the ROM. Deleting 1 key fixed it. If you encounter the same, look under Hermes_Problems of the WIKI.
i am having this same exact problem...off to the wiki!
edit: awesome, seems to be working well so far, thanks for the heads up!
and here is the fix if you don't feel like searching ( and who does? ) and woo 100th post!
Turn off hard coded proxy into IE
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings] The default setting (that uses the proxy) is:
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000000 Change it to:
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000001 Or simply delete it. It's more of the fact that if it's there and =0 it's used. if it's missing it's not used. But changing it to =1 will also make it disable. This way you can simply change the value back without re-adding the seting back in.
For some reason, the registry entry above will occasionally revert from =1 to =0, causing IE's proxy to be active again. Deleting the registry entry prevents this from happening.

Or...............
y'all could just use the Enable/Restore Proxy icons already provided in the ROM (Programs | Proxy Manager). Guess which registry key they flip...

I gave this a shot cause I realized I had the same issue. It didn't work for me. I don't know how to edit the registry yet. Could you point in the direction to do that. The first time I did it it worked without problems. I did a hard reset and after that it didn't work any more. Any tips.

Well, if you do a hard reset it's going to re-enable the proxy by default. I've never seen the Proxy Manager not work, let's put it that way. That said, if you go installing other settings cabs, etc... all bets are off (at least with my ROM, they are...).
Salute to you all!
Salute to you all.
I had this problem long times ago.
It's solved now.
Thanks.
Disabling Proxy worked for Pocket IE, but...
I'm having trouble trying to get Windows Live to work off WiFi rather than connect via GPRS/UMTS. Has anyone else run into this problem and if so, is there any way to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

I re-disabled the proxy. I guess it may be because I am at work right now and the wireless is crapy. I can't get anything other than a local connection on my PC. So I'll let you know later

I am using the official DOPOD WM6 version, and such "proxy manager" does not exist under "programs".

The only way i have found to do this is to go to CommManager and turn off "Phone" and enable WiFi and then sign into Windows Live, and then go back to CommManager and Enable Phone again! it forces it to connect to wifi rather than the choice between wifi and gprs stuff
hope that helps

tmotzones cab initially works! but then?

Hey all, I have a cab file called "tmotzones" that loads all the correct settings for the t-zones proxy. After a fresh ROM upgrade, this cab works fine...internet hits fine. But then after awhile, even though the settings appear to be there, my internet stops working. Anybody familiar with this?
yea, happens to me. you have to go into your connection settings, then go to your gprs settings, and change whatever your data connection, change what it connects to(if it says The Internet, change it to anything else) then save it, then go back in, change it BACK and save it again. it SHOULD do the trick.

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.

Tilt 2 tethering: "Error APN"

I can't get my Tilt 2 to tether. Going into the Internet Sharing app and clicking "Connect", it tries to connect the data connection a couple times then gives an error that says "Error APN".
Anyone seen this before?
Do you have tethering added to your account?
search the forums buddy, you have to do a registry edit or something to get Internet Sharing to point to AT&Ts network
The solution in this thread worked for me:

I have a Tilt 2 and this exact fix worked for me.
I receive an "access denied" error when trying to edit the value.
Thoughts?
Hm maybe try a different registry editor? I used PHM Regedit and it didn't complain.

if you actually set HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\ForceCellConnection to "" then it'll let you choose your connection. Can be useful if your connections don't have standard names.
new to using registry
i am new to using registry downloaded phm registry how do i find hkmsettings withoug going through every single file?

Internet sharing not working right on tilt 2, it did b4 though with no problems

i would greatly appreciate any advice on this matter. well normally, all i had to do was plug my device to the computer, i press Internet sharing on device when the prompt shows, and i connect to internet. Now for some reason it wont and i been trouble shooting all morning and cant figure it out. the only difference is i used my device as a disk drive this morning to put Hdwall program on computer. now when i diconnect and connect again, it lets me select internet sharing but when i press connect, it very quickly says check usb device, it disconnects, then the connect button lights back up again as if i never pressed it. i believe the activesync is blocking me somehow. no settings were changed from b4. i even uninstalled activesync and reinstalled it again in computer(windows xp serv. pack 3). still no luck. i got tired of it n shut computer down..lol can anyone lead me in the right path? how do u disable activesync on device and on computer? so that when i connect device to comp., activesync wont start up and cause issues with internet sharing. i have all the quick fixes to mke device faster, like the memory leak, data fix, no push internet, and dynamic proxy thing. are any of those conflicting with me using internet sharing? cuz i now have hspda/hsup enabled..excuse mispelling. is that the prob? i never had this issue b4. i remember reading that if u connect thru active sync and connect again, the device or computer might not recognize the connection since activesync wasnt really disconnected from first session. how do i reset that to make sure new connection(internetsharing) is recognized versus previous sessions? thnkx in advance
You could just uninstall activesync from the host PC, that would keep it from launching anyway...but I don't know for sure if that's going to get around your issue. Can't hurt to try though.
thnx for the advice. strange how it wrked b4 and not now..lol ima try everything possible b4 hard reseting. for some reason, i believe one of those cabs i downloaded screwed wit somethn. i have data fix, no push internet, dynamic proxy, sd tune up and xda wifi router cabs installed. do u think one of those might be the issue? also, i thght activesync is needed in order for PC to recognize phone. so if i uninstall activesync on computer, will it still recognixe the device and the action im trying to perform(Internet Sharing)? its crazy because it worked fine b4 with activesync in the pc.

I honestly don't know if internet sharing requires an activesync connection, I'd always believed it worked independently of that (and mutually exclusive), like connecting it as a hard drive does.
Make sure that BTTrayCE.EXE is running at startup (look for BTTrayCE.lnk in the Windows\Startup folder). USB Internet Sharing won't work without that service running, and will act exactly like you describe.
Edit: BTW, I mean look for this on your phone, not your computer...
ill make sure to llook for that...i got a slew of cabs to try out in the morning. i have the TP2 tethering cab(the one that doesnt need mortscript) and the ATT tethering cab. im going to try each 1 and uininstalling right after if it doesnt wrk. i also have total commander and seen where all those registry files are at. i just need something clarified for me. When they say, change this(meaning the last line of that reg. file) to this(meaning the edit needed to be ), Is it Simply just Renaming that particular file or part of file? or is it deleting that file and somehow adding one that says the new edit? im confident ill have it tethering soon. at least my xda wifi router wrks perfectly..lol

Changing values in your registry is a matter of navigating to that registry key in your reg editor, clicking on the entry to bring up the dialog to change the value, and then changing it to whatever is specified (a number, a string, whatever), then just clicking 'ok' to save. It looks a lot like a regular file structure, but it operates a bit differently.
I would STRONGLY recommend using whatever regedit tool you prefer to make a backup copy of your registry before making any changes in it...just in case
Got my Tilt 2 tethering again ;-)
IM BACKKKKKKK...lol I am typing now through the tethered connection. lmao this forum is da bomb. i tried again this mornin with nothing added to phone, like fixes, and it wouldnt let me connect. same as b4. I downloaded the ATT Tethering Cab fix, and like magic it worked. It added the option to let me select media net for connection and it connected with no problem. so if you are having issues connecting like i did b4, try the free ATT Tethering Cab fix on this forum. It worked for me directly right after install. Many thanks and credit goes to whoever created this file. i am really liking this forum. so much info in here. learning new stuff everyday. I thought i was already a tech head, but once i came to this forum, i saw the wild modding and rom flashes, and etc.. people are doing. Give me some time, with this forum, i will be flashing roms also..lol I hope. also thanks to people who gave me some advice and encouraged me to solve the problem. With some research and reading, nothing is impossible.
