Hi... I JUST got GPRS on my phone today (via T-Mobile USA). Needless to say, I was quite excited about it. However, it doesn't seem as though I can browse any webpages.
I can connect to AIM and message people just fine, however whenever I try to load ANY website, it just tells me the page cannot be found. I then tried using a different browser (Acess NetFront to be exact), also to no avail. Whenever I connect the PDA to the cradle, however, it seems to browse the internet just fine.
Anybody have any ideas or suggestions? Maybe this has been covered before.

Hi All,
Recently, I bought a QTek 9100 and I absolutely love it! However, there is one issue that I did not find a way around it yet. It is very well possible I am doing something wrong, and not something with the software, and I hope you can help.
When I connect to my computer at work using ActiveSync, I can access the internet from the QTek only with Pocket Internet Explorer. Other applications, such as MSN, Skype or other thirdparty software, does not seem to be able to connect.
What could I do to fix that?
Any help appreciated,
Cheers,
Arno
Hi Arno,
I have the Orange SPV M3000 and upgraded the ROM to the latest Dutch version from Orange (2.18.1.3 NLD). When I connect the thing via ActiveSync, after some moments it complains about not being able to get an IP address. It is a warning box with the title 'Pocket PC Networking'. However, I am able to surf from within IE; sounds like the same problem.
I would love to hear what the reason and fix for this behaviour could be, if someone encountered this before, thanks.
Might be the same issue indeed. However, I am not getting any IP error messages though. It connects fine, it runs IE fine, syncs fine. It is just that other applications do not seem to be using that connection.
Maybe I need to set something up in the Conn Mgr or something, but I could not find out what exactly...
for some reason, out of the blue my internet explorer will not connect to websites when using wifi, but seems to work fine over gprs. i installed opera to see if it changed anything and it worked over wifi, but IE still wont, so i uninstalled opera to see if anything would have changed and to no avail. im at a total loss here and i hate the opera browser. can anyone help me out?
try taking off the proxy you use for gprs
wow fixed it!
thanks!
ill have to use this forum for help more often
try searching first next time
Dear all,
I dont know why. When I connect internet by wifi, the IE was locating in long time, and then inform that can not open this page, or can not find out this page (ex: www.xda-developers.com). But if I use opera browser, everything ok, go to web fastly. I try change to other ROM version, and now Im using Fiara Rom 3.2, its still happen. If connect to internet by PC via USB, the IE works fine.
Would anyone like help me to fix that problem??? or explain for me why??? Thanks everyone!!!
Im using a Cingular 8125, WM5, Rom Fiara 3.2
up.... need help!!!...
Hi, I am new to this forum and am having a few problems with the Opera browser that comes pre-installed on the Touch HD (9,5 Build 2682).
I have tried searching the forum but can not find any reference to the problem I am having.
Quite often the browser will not load any page. The green progress bar at the bottom starts to move then just sits there and the page is not loaded. (Every other data application will work so its not a data connection problem)
If I soft reset it will browse ok again.
Another problem is that when I connect via wifi, the browser seems to not use the wifi connection. When I search on Google for my ip address it returns a 212 address which belongs to Vodafone (my network). If I then open IE and do the same I get the correct IP of my dsl. I have tried this on a number of wifi points. This problem also shows up when I browse to the BBC iplayer web site as it will display “please connect via wifi” when the wifi is connected.
I have on a few random occasions streamed the iplayer material ok so, I assume it was then connected to the wifi ok, but most of the time it will say “please connect to wifi”
I tried installing the latest Opera from their web site (9.51b2). It shows up in the programs folder as Opera 9.5 Beta. This seemed to work ok on both GPRS and wifi, the first time I run it, but then after running the factory installed version it does the same thing and some times crashes and will no rerun until after a soft reset.
It is possible that having both versions is causing problems but I don’t see any way of removing the pre installed version as it does not show up in the “installed programs” list?
Anybody else get these problems?
Thanks
Regards
Jason
Further to the above, I have found that the only way to get the Opera browser to definately use the wifi is to turn the radio part of the phone off so there is no GPRS data connection.
If I just turn the wifi on the browser almost always ignores it and still connects via the GPRS data connection, then when I turn the wifi off again the browser will then sometimes fail to load any page until a soft reset.
I do not have any of these problems with I.E or Opera Mini but they are no way as good as the full Opera 9.5
Is anybody else having these problems with Opera or is it just me?
(P.S a colleague of mine has just installed the latest Opera version from their website on an old Vario and it did the same thing with wifi connected, ignored it and connected via the GPRS data connection. Does Opera have a big problem here?)
I have no problems with wifi access (it works ok), but I have experienced that Opera hangs while loading over the data connection (regardless G,E,3G and HSDPA, it actually doesn't load anything).
The trick is when it happens to go to the opera menu (the one in the lower right corner with Settings, Downloads, Page info etc...) and choose Exit. You will need to confirm that action. Start Opera again and voila it works. So no soft resets anymore. And it has no connection with the Opera config - I tried default and my settings for numerous things in config and it still hangs.
IE works fine anytime, any connection - so that eliminates windows or data connection problems.
I use WkTask and close Opera by its little x - perhaps sometimes it doesn't close Opera properly after the successful surfing and on the next run opera hangs while loading. I think that before WKtask I didn't experience such problems. I haven't tested it without WKtask once I noticed this hang so I may be wrong about the good old WKtask. Perhaps Opera needs to be closed through its Exit function?
I hope this trick works for you - cheers!

To easily find all opera 9.5 versions in a single place go to this thread:

Thanks for the replies. I have sorted this problem now by flashing the rom with Duttys HD v1.9b XTREME.
This rom comes with opera version is 9.5 build 15613 which so far works as it should, uses wifi when its available and GPRS when its not. It also to date has not “got stuck” and failed to load a page (obviously when wifi or gprs is available)
(In fact the whole phone now works better with this rom but there are numerous threads already about this and how to flash!!)
Looks like build 2682 defiantly has a bug to me.

I think i've found the solution! Im using build 15613 so i don't know if this will work for the version that comes pre-installed. If it doesn't it's not hard to find build 15613.
In the TouchFLO interface:
Home / Settings / Communications / Settings / Wireless LAN / Power Mode tab / move slider to far left ( Best Performance )
I've tested it a few time and now opera uses wifi whenever it's available.
wifi works on some browser not with others
Hi All , I have a similar problem but mine is that when I use Opera browser it would use my wifi connection but if I use.. say Iris or Skyfire it uses my 3g data connection even though the wifi is still on. this is frustrating as data connection is expensive for me and I usually the wifi hotspots to do my surfing when I'm outdoors
any advice on how I can configure all browser to use wifi when available and only use data connection when its not available ... pls point me in the right direction on this, Im using stock ROM for HTC HD.
Cheers
Hi guys
My girlfriend has a palm treo pro but she has a problem and i was wondering if you could help her out cause i am not able to.
She can't connect with internet explorer to the internet. I have tried all the connection setups provided by her provider but it still isn't working. although she CAN send e-mails and receive e-mails and connect to windows live messenger.
Is this a registry problem or am i still configuring some stuff wrong.
plz help
with kind regards,
kuraki
It doesn't work on either Wi-Fi, or ActiveSync, or Data?
nope. wifi not working either. can you help us?
Have you tried using another browser like Skyfire or Opera? Give them a shot and we can see what happens from there.
