WM6 Black 3.0.1 advice please

Hi All,
Wow, Been a while since i had to post on here for help.
OK, before you all start flaming, Yes i have searched for a few days, inc. google and the WM6 Black forum 4winblack to no avail,
Everyone asking but no one answering and just flaming (hence no one can find the answer when searching and leaving them no choice but having to ask)
ME.
Member on here since 2005 ( so no noob, I always search and find )
have a MDA vario II HERM 300
Running Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition 3.0.1
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.10.OLipro
Radio ver. 1.41.00.10
T-mobile UK W+W
OK the burning question that has me stumped.
and i am cringing cause i dont want you to flame throw me.
Windows Live issue
Unable to establish an internet connection. Can this be fixed and How?
I have re installed WM VI black Live & messenger cab but still same issue.
Messenger Sign in as issue
How do i get to sign in there is no where to sign in
just a blank pick and the option to go online.
Are these issues fixed and are they just relevent to WM6 Black or all packages, am tempted to downgrade or switch roms in hope.
Finally as last resort will posket msn work on WM6
Again sorry for asking but i do truly search, it a shame when you do get new users using such a great forum and they get flamed, Remember if everyone is treated in this way, how can anyone search and find the answer.
I have opened countless posts on the subject only to find the person asking flamed and no answer given. This makes it near inpossible to find the correct answer.
Didn't come on to moan LOL. Have a good un all,

Can't help on your other issues as I don't use Messenger or MSN, but I have no trouble with Windows Live with this rom. Connects with no problems.

You need to reenter your 3G modem settings in your connections so that it knows how to connect to the network. wap.cingular and then your 7 digit phone number is hte password.

hmm.. I have seen these issues before in other posts and enouctered some myself. Pimpmyblack has a tab which will allow you to have your gprs/media net on all the time (assuming you have unlimited plan). From my experience there is a bug with live, it doesnt like to establish gprs conn if it is not alread on. I have noticed this with piscel browser too. As much as I hate doing it, my non-hack work around is to open pie and connect to google. this establishes connection w/ gprs. its not ideal, but I have exhaustedly serached for a fix to this too with no avail. hopefully that can hold u over until the geniuses figure somethin out.

Yeah it maybe something with WM6 i think and the way it allows programs to hook up to the internet. For example everytime i use my opera mini i have to first open up explorer to establish an internet connection and then i can start using opera mini. So that maybe what is required for you to do. But i would highly recommend you to just switch over to one of the newer roms that have been cooked. I was on black 3.0.1 and just had to many problems with bluetooth and connections to the internet. So i strongly recommend that buddy.

thanks for the suggestions, glad others have herd of the problem but unable to find fix.
yes. I have tried pimp my black and changed settings to internet always on.
also tried with internet connection open and then trying windows live and messenger but both problems still exist.
shame as accessing my hotmail accounts instantly is a must.
looks like will have to try your suggestion of another ron.
recommendations ?
thanks

Well it looks like This was one good thread. started good and ended good. So lets lock it up if its cool with you guys.

agree, thanks to everyone.
to sum up.
I could not find a fix to the issues I had :-{
I eventually took the advice and changed roms.
now running Custels 2.5 and everything. I mean everything is working fantastic. plus the bonus of office 2007 and live is running great.
I can only suggest black is a little buggy for myself but hey im happy with Custels 2.5
thanks to all again.
try not and leave it another 2 years before I post again lol.

wmIRC

I've downloaded and installed the trial for wmIRC and it's working fine over WIFI on my HTC S621, but I can't get it to work over GPRS\EDGE ? I can use IE and Opera Mini without the WIFI.
Any ideas of what I can try, or are there other Windows Mobile Smartphone Standard IRC clients I could try?
Thank you,
Tim

make sure you start an edge connection before trying to log onto irc. i use wmirc daily and works through either connection. just open a browser and go to a website to initiate the data connection (for some reason wmirc will initiate *sometimes* and not others) then open irc and just hit connect. may take a sec to go through the ident and ****...but it gets there...

I've tried that, no luck. I don't have the ident option checked, but I never need it for WIFI. I'm just wondering if it's my carrier, Suncom blocking it. It's just strange to me that my email, IE, mini-opera, etc. works. But not this.
I'm looking now to see if I can find a way to link (or echo) messages over to an instant messenger ID. Because I know that I can get Palringo or some other IM client to work.
Thank you,
Tim

I wasnt so much talking about enabling indent..i was just talking about when you connect to the server and i queries the client..
what version of wmirc is it?

This probably doesn't help much but I have it working fine on another device over CDMA.
Honestly, prepare to be disappointed though. Its a very buggy program. The user lists tend to disappear, sometimes a new pm opens and switching from one to the next shows the same messages, and it randomly completely crashes.
There's also zsIRC at zsirc.com. However, this is many written for WM Pro, so there's a lot of things that you can't do if you don't have a touchscreen (also, you can't install the .cab on WM Standard and need to use the .exe installer.)

i agree. but for smartphone its really the only one that works. ive tried 3. wmirc, jirc and some other one that i cant remember.
as far as just chattin in a channel, its fine. ive had it up with no disconnects on the edge network for 8 hours. with wifi i have left on for days and it never crashed or disconnected. yea the user list is a little retarded, but thats a non issue for me. you can still use basic commands like /whois . i dont think its ever going to get better than this though. as far as i know, no one else is developing a new client.
so i guess just pick the lesser poison..if you want to run it through java (which i couldnt stand) try out jirc.
shoot me a pm and let me know what version you have. i will probably just give you a link to my site and you can try the one i have because i know it works. im running 6.1 rickys v. 24

I'm just using the standard 2.2 from the wmirc.com site.

ATT TILT 2 on Rogers: Plz Help with Operea and Internet Sharing

Hello~
I recently discover this forum and the info that is available overwhelms me (in a good way)! I am a new user to Windows Mobile and find it some what difficult to "tweak" things...so I pretty much accept the way things are on my phone...except 2 problems...
Anyway, as mention above, I currently have the ATT Tilt 2 on Rogers and everything is great except the Internet Sharing and Opera.
Opera: I tried using the Opera that is pre-installed on it but it won't load as if there is no internet connection. IE, however, works flawlessly....I disabled the Proxy and Opera still won't work....I downloaded the latest Opera Beta and that works fine...It is not a big problem but would like to fix it if possible =)
Internet Sharing: I would love to use my phone as a modem, through USB or Wifi, it doesn't matter. However, every time i plug my usb in, and tried to connect thru USB, it will just give me "Error APN"...i talked to HTC and they said the software was only designed to work with AT&T...so I don't know.....
However, I download WMWIFI Router last night and it works flawlessly...but since it is a trial, it won't work after 21 days...So I was hoping i can solve this problem before the trial expires...
Any help or guidance would be great! Thank you all for reading this and your contribution =) Have a great day!!

I too have the Tilt2 on the Rogers network and i have the same problem with InternetSharing (i.e. using the phone as a modem). Did you manage to make any progress yet?

I've got the Tilt 2 working on Fido, so it can be done. Here's how:
On the AT&T ROM there is a shortcut to disable the proxy in Start/Tools/Proxy Manager. However this only works for IE. To disable the AT&T Proxy in Opera also, edit
\Windows\Opera\opera.ini
and set the Use HTTP and Use HTTPS proxy settings to 0, then soft reset.
You can change the settings in opera:config, but they didn't stick after a soft reset.

Thanks moltenfire. it worked for me!

Nobody answered the question about the "Error APN" message.....?/?

Thanks Moltenfire. Editing the INI file worked for Tilt 2 on AT&T!!

I am on Rogers with a Tilt 2.
When I was using the stock ROM I had to remove the ATT Proxy in opera:config before any internet connection would work. Not sure if this is the issue for you...
I have swtiched to Josh's Basic Black ROM and the WiFi Router and Opera work flawlessly. Sharing the internet connection over the USB cable also works just fine.
Cheers

[Q] uzard wont connect

I see that a few other people have had the same issue and was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it. Uzard give me a error message that "my phone radio is off" and wont connect. Anybody know what I can do?
Finaaly figured it out. It did connect using wifi then i thought maybe i should put the sim card back in even though i dont use it because im cdma and that did it. Uzard is pretty good in situations where opera mini wont work. still testing.

First, please put an actual subject message instead of just [Q] in the future.
Make sure your cellular radio is active (or wifi, if that's how you connect). If it is, then verify that you are able to connect with another browser like Opera.
Also note that Uzard is a proxy browser. Meaning that the sites you visit are pre-rendered on their servers. I've used this browser before as a replacement for Skyfire, and was not impressed. Their servers go down fairly often, from what I've seen and read. This may also be the case with you right now.

_____________________________________________________________
Not sure how i even found this post. I guess i was searching info on Uzard.
I dumped Uzard altogether. I switched to using it after Skyfire stopped supporting windows Mobile devices. Uzard on my Tilt2 was soooo sticky, jumped and stick so bad that it wasnt worth the headache. At the time, my tilt had plenty processing room even though it was a proxy server i was tapping into. so it wasnt my phone that was the prob.
.... looks like im gonna have to move to android if i want to view flashfiles.. i dont care for windows7
