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.
About once a week, my phone will have the proxy on MediaNet set to my work computer's network proxy.
This only affects Google Maps' ability to see traffic but I use that function a LOT.
For some reason, I am unable to change it in connections because it says MediaNet is pre-configured and doesn't let me change it there. To fix it, I have to delete the content of the proxy server in a couple places in the registry but that is a pain in the butt.
1. Does anyone know how to prevent either of my sync'd computers from changing the proxy server on my phone?
2. Does anyone know how I can access Media Net's settings through "Connections" and not through the registry?
i managed to buy a desire the day they came out,but unfortunatly it was locked to tmobile.i managed to get it unlocked via htcode,but have not managed to either go on the internet or send mms messages with o2.i have looked through various answers to the question of settings for the desire and some people have said that they have managed to use it successfully.i have tried adding a new apn with the various settings found among these pages but now wonder if tmobile hide a default apn within their software that i cannot see to delete. any help please!
What do you see when you go to:
Menu - Settings - Wireless & Networks - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names
There should be a list of APNs - if so, list them here.
One of them should have a green dot to the right of it - which one?

originally there were none.now there are 2 both of which i have created o2 uk mms and o2 mobile web (the green dot)
Ok that's a great start....
If you go back to: menu - settings - wireless networks check that Mobile Network is ticked. If it is what does it say below it?
turning on it constantly says that,sometimes connection failed
Can you untick mobile network? If so, try it, wait, then tick it again and see if it connects....
If not your APN settings may be wrong, so go into Mobile Networks - Access Point Names and click on the one for the internet settings.
List them here so I can check they are right.
Also, has this O2 SIM worked on the internet before? If not you may need to call O2 for them to enable it
the sim worked fine on an n95.unticking and reticking makes no difference.the settings i have are as follows
name o2 mobile web
apn mobile.o2.co.uk
proxy not set
port not set
username o2 web
password password
server not set
mmsc not set
mms proxy not set
mms protocol wap 2.0
mcc 234
mnc 10
authentication type none
apn type not set
name o2 uk mms
apn wap.o2.co.uk
proxy not set
port 9201
username o2wap
password password
server not set
mmsc htt://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
mms proxy 193.113.200.195
mms port 8080
mms protocol wap 2.0

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok, they all look ok except one thing. Try editing the username - change it from o2 web to mobileweb and make sure you save changes!
See if that works.

changed,saved,rebooted nothing,still says turning on under mobile networks
That's no good....
OK, just to make sure we have this right, delete ALL the current settings in the APN menu, then reboot the phone with the O2 SIM in it - this might pick up the settings you need.
If it doesn't, go here: http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html and use the GPRS settings for O2 to add the APN. Once done, save, then reboot and see if that works.
I assume this is a contract SIM, not pay as you go? From memory o2 PAYG wasnt setup for internet in the same way....
yes yes yes i was begining to think i would never see the internet on this phone.i can only say thank you.i went to the site you suggested and entered the settings provided and as if by magic!!!!
thanks again
Persistence always pays off in the end.
Glad its sorted now, enjoy mobile intetnet!

Is there any way to force the Facebook tab on Sense to use the system-wide proxy setting? My provider blocks port 80 so I have a proxy set up on 993 to get internet. The music and weather tabs work fine, but facebook will not update unless I get on wifi.
My work wifi uses a proxy server for Internet access which requires me to use my log in details. I use chrome for Internet and that asks me for my log in credentials and works fine, however none of my apps that use the internet work as I there is nowhere to enter login details. Is there a setting I'I'm missing or is there an app that logs in the phone?
Settings - Wi-Fi - long press the work WiFi - modify settings - advanced settings - proxy!
