Kev, i have read the other posts on the subject, I have an unlocked XDA, using the special edition xda developers rom, i am using the settings you supplied, but still the "g" sign appears for a few secs then disappears. and when connecting to GPRS, i get a failure message, "unable to connect for an unknown reason..."
Any ideas?
cheers

The 'g' is only supposed to appear for a short time. It show you logged in, but something else in the settings is till wrong. Could be a proxy you need, nameserver settings, ...
From a usability standpoint, the operators did everything wrong they could have possibly done wrong with GPRS.

Country code 1 ???
HI Kev,
I have come to realised that my xda came with area code 425 and country code 1 as default and noticed that you do the same for your connection to uk vodaphone. Just a point of interest though: when I tried using phonext which is a dialler and ringtone assignment software, the number called will be with +1 country code; ie to the USA instead of dialling to a UK number.
I still can't figure out why country code is 1 when you use it for GPRS in the UK. Any ideas anyone ??
Cheers

dial up configurations for different networks here u go !

hi anyone know the gprs dial up number for vodaphone uk - i think i got the setting right but i seem unable to qualify the "my connections phone number box" - do i need to enter anything and if so what is it ??
:? cheers...

bit hasty with the request i ment to ask 4 the access point!

No Internet when connected by USB & ActivSync

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help solve a problem I have with my UK V1605.
This is a great phone and I am really impressed with it. PIE works great over WiFi, GPRS & 3G. HOWEVER, when I connect the phone to my PC with the USB cable, I am no longer able to access the internet with PIE. I just get an error message, "The page cannot be displayed because the connection was lost. Please try again."
I have tried playing around with the all the settings but still keep getting the error. I can see the wifi symbol at the top keep changing to the USB/Activesync symbol. When I look under the wireless LAN settings I can see the IP address and 'connected to network' but still get the error message in PIE.
This is my first post, and I have looked all over for a solution but not been able to find anything. I will appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Are you connecting at home or in work, the reason I ask is that you might have to setup a proxy on the device (this is not the PC running ActiveSync).
In work I have to add my works proxy under START > SETTINGS > CONNECTIONS > Connections > 'My Work Settings' and look at the proxy.
Also it might be firewall issues, more info here: http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/tshoot-as4x-firewall.htm
Try these and post your results.
Gav.

1. Is your AS connection a Guest connection, or a full one?
2. try changing your USB connection type; see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=555&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

I had the same problem, then I flashed the rom and I could get internet again, installed some apps and couldnt get internet via USB-activesync.
I fixed it by doing the following in activesync on the PC (not on the PDA):
FILE>CONNECTION SETTINGS>
where it says THIS COMPUTER IS CONNECTED TO:
select THE INTERNET, then OK and I was once again able to connect to internet via USB/Activesync.

Internet surfing worked via ActiveSync USB...now it doesn't
I am running Windows Mobile 5 on an HTC 8525. I have ActiveSync 4.5 installed. For the first three weeks I was able to sync to my device and also surf the net from my device using the desktop pass-through feature. My friend took the device away on a trip for a day and when he brought it back I noticed that the pass-through feature no longer worked. I don't know if he tried to connect to another network and the settings got hosed or if ATT pushed some patch to the phone. Either way, I can still sync and browse files, I just can't get on to the internet. Furthermore, checking the 'allow wireless connections' box in AS->File->Connections Settings seems to do nothing since my wlan is immediately disabled every time I plug the device in to the usb cable. I have tried the following to no avail:
1. Used a different HTC 8525 with the same result
2. Installed ActiveSync on a different machine, no luck
3. Tried the registry edit [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services] "AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
4. Tried using ActiveSync 4.1
5. Played around with the connection settings and network adapter settings on the phone to the point that I have no idea what they were anymore
6. Reset the phone to its defaults, no dice
To test the connection I open IE and try to browse to www.msn.com. The status in the bottom left of the IE window says "Connecting..." then "Locating..." then I wait for a while and I get a pop-up that says "The page cannot be displayed because the connection was lost. Please try again"
My ActiveSync connection settings have usb enabled and 'This computer is connected to The Internet'.
Another strange thing, when I try to open AS->File->Connection Settings it takes about a minute for the Connection Settings dialog to open. What could make it hang?
I really am out of ideas on how to get this thing working again. I am developing an application on the phone that requires internet and bluetooth connetivity. I was remote debugging using VS 2005 and everything was working like a champ. By the way, I am still able to remote debug, so that tcp connection with the device still works...I just can't get out to the internet. My Windows Firewall has ActiveSync in its exception list.
Thanks for your help!

Try disabling the Firewall and test it.

Thanks for your reply tytnguy.
I have tried changing it to Automatic (and Work as well) without success. I have also disabled the firewall.
A little more info:
In Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks I have 'Media Net' chosen for programs to automatically connect to the internet. The proxy settings for Media Net are 'This network connects to the Internet'. I have tried toggling this though it is possible that other settings did not match up with this when I changed it.
In Settings->Connections->Wifi->Configure Network Adapters I have My Network Card Connects to 'The Internet'.
This sure seems like a networking problem to me. I have installed vxUtils to look at the status of my device. Here is the 'info' output:

Perhaps there is something here that should have an address that doesn't.

Looks like you have already tried everything
You used differnt pcs, different devices
And a hard rest(??)
Logically Since you had problems in every combination, I think you have to think about something which common and present in all combinations. I can say 'It is the way you setup your internet connection'. I do not know what is 'Media Net' but if you had that setting in all your combinations tried. Then that is where you should look for.
I do not know if that is helpfull or not but my two cents!

Shlomki's soltuion
Please see this post by Shlomki. I think he's cracked this problem.

WIFI with a "Conceptronic C54APM" Access Point

Is it possible to connect the Trinity to a "Conceptronic C54APM" access point with WEP activated?
I am able to connect it, give the correct password but I can get no communication!!!
Thanks in advance.

Try taking off the wep protection on your access point, then get the Trinity connnected. If all is well, then add the wep again. Make sure that you check that the "shared" option is the same on both.

Just in case, access can also be restricted/enabled at the MAC level.

Thanks for the answer.
Even without WEP, I still can't connect

When I connect my HTC to the AccessPoint, the IP 192.158.0.5 is assigned to it but I can't ping to 192.168.0.2 (the AP IP)
Some other help would be great!

You should try and connect your Trinity to another hot spot just to make sure that the Wifi is working properly. If so, you might try resetting your access point by the pin hole on the back, or however your AP resets. Personally, if I'm ever having trouble connecting a device to my network, I turn off all encryption and filtering until I get a connection. The info you gave shows WEP encryption is still on.

Hi Matterhorn,
Thanks for the answer. The info I gave shows WEP activated, but I did the test without WEP too. The result is the same.
The HTC is working properly and I can connect to other APs. I can't understand what's happening!!!

JUST FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!
The power mode must be: "Best Performance"
Thanks to all.

No internet on 3G issue !

Greetins,
If I turn off the wifi on my Hero, my mobile won't be able to browse or sync data at all using the 3G network even when the mobile Network option is enabled in settings.
Am I missing something, it is working on my Yuky N97 ( stay way from this phone it is horrible )

Is your APN setup correctly for your carrier?
Regards,
Dave

Here is my problem, the APN menu is empty, I tried to take the configuration out of my old Nokia N97 but most of the information seems not to match what's in the Android.
Here is the information out of the N97 :
Connection Name : mobily Internet (Prepaid)
Data Bearer : Packet data
Access point Name : web2
User Name : None
Prompt Password : no
Password : None
Authrntication : normal
Homepage : None
Use Access Point : Auto
Network Type IPv4
Phone IP adress : Auto
DNS address : Auto
Proxy server address : none
Proxy Port : 0
I'm having issue trying to fit these infos into the Hero !!!
