My carrier has two diffrent rates for surfing. data connection and wap connection. the wap one is much cheaper than the data one. i've been told by my carrier that surfing from the wizard is considered as data since i can view normal html web pages and use messenger, e-mail, etc..
my question: Is there any way to surf wap using this phone (like installing a diffrent web browser?)?
thanks..
This sounds strange to me, because the difference (from operator's POV) should be which access point you use. When WAP was free for me, I browsed everything from my SE P800 with no additional cost.
But you can't access e-mails, ICQ, ftp etc. via a wap access point, only HTML or WML pages!
I have the settings in my phone for wap surfing. but i can't see any normal html sites while using it.
the thing is that there is a way of configuring a regular pc to use the phone as a modem and then access everything via WAP, using a proxy server. i thought maybe i can do the same thing in the phone itself.

Pocket MSN (MSN Messanger and Hotmail) only works with a direct connection the internet.
Does anybody know how to tweak it such as way (via registry setting etc) so that it can connect via the proxied internet connection.
The regular desktop MSN Messanger has the option in the app setting to allow it to work via a HTTP proxy server.
The reason I'm asking for this is that, some of us here in this forum, use the cheap GPRS service here in the US that only connects us to the internet via a HTTP proxy. We have web browsing and pop3 working, but not the MSN messanger and hotmail.
Thanks in advance for anybody that will provide some clue.

You must use a SOCKS-capable proxy. That is, not just a simple HTTP proxy. Also see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?s=SOCKS+messenger&sentence=AND - in there, I've also elaborated on this problem.
I understand this. However, the data service we use (T-Mobile USA t-zones) does not support SOCKS. We only have HTTP proxy and WAP proxy support.
Using the same data service from my laptop (with my PPC as the wireless modem), I could run MSN Messanger from my laptop (by using the HTTP proxy).
The Pocket MSN however, does not work. I would believe there is some way to tweak it to recognize the HTTP proxy as well.
How do i set up auto switching between Media Net & MyISP?
I want to use CV but it has to connect thru a proxy under Media NEt. Some web site does not work thru a proxy, so i want to switch back to MyISP when browsing.
I wasnt aware you could have this done automatically. Only solution I know of is to manually switch it. Would love to be wrong here.
The easiest way to solve your problem is to use NetFront. NetFront has settings to use a proxy server, so you can still use the MyISP connection and just have NetFront to access CV. You can use PIE for your normal web browsing.
There is no auto-switching available. How often do you use CV? I don't use it a whole lot so when I want to view CV, I just switch connections.
that is what ive been reading through out this forum. I was hoping to avoid an extra peice of software just for CV. Netfront does eat up a lot of memory.
Hi,
I have configured 2 modems in my connection settings to access the internet.
One uses the fast internet access point and the 2nd one is based on the WAP access point that also gives HTTP access to the internet. Both are based on 3G.
Now the WAP access is unlimited so i want to use it most of the times for programs that use HTTP (weather updated, internet browsing, RSS feeds), sync with exchange, etc.
Some programs do not work with the WAP access point and only connect through regular internet access (like: gmail mailbox, fring, etc.).
My question:
Is there a way to configure the connection modem applications will use?
Or is there a way to select on demand which connection to use when internet connection is needed?
or is there any 3rd party SW to help me?
Thanks, Ori.
how do you enable full web page view in opera or IE ?
i am stuck in mobile web view
do i have to install a .cab ?
HTC TOUCH HD
winmo 6.5
for IE and opera
from IE
menu>view>desktop
From opera
menu>settings>display> (unclick) mobile view [if it is ticked]
i tried that but did not work
check internet settings
if it is not set to gprs/edge /3g setting
then it uses wap to access the net, wap sites of popular sites are mobile web
I had the problem once when my carrier routed my browsing through their proxy server. Ended up with mobile web, if by default your internet carrier is set through this [check your advanced connection settings] remove the proxy you'll end up with proper browsing
hope some seniors could give their two cents on this issue
If you want to connect to your work email (i.e. MS Exchange) with Telstra you have to use Activesync and what they call the Windows Mobile Email Solution. This is by way of an extra fee for a Email Pack (costs between $0-$40 depending on your call plan). This option then allows you unlimited email (or at least until you get to 1gig) provided it is through Activesync and Ms Exchange (i.e not POP or IMAP). It seems that Telstra route the Activesync data usage through a specific APN to that used for internet browsing (which you pay for separately). Presumably, this is set up in the Tesltra Rom that the HD2 comes with (in the form of the Dedicated line used for access in the Activesync settings on the phone). My concern is that if I flash my rom with any non-Telstra rom, these settings will be lost and if I used Activesync with standard Internet access (through telstra.internet APN), I may get a hefty bill at the month. Does anyone know what settings Tesltra uses for Activesync and if one could use those settings on a generic Rom? In addition, if Activesync will work through the telstra.internet APN, a plain Internet pack for $19 for 1 Gig is better value than the Email Pack (most users wouldn't used that much for email in a month). However, I'm not sure if Activesync will work on Telstra other than through its chosen route (Activesync requires the network operator to allow a connection to stay open for up to 30 minutes with no traffic). I've tried to find out from Tesltra what the settings are: all they would tell me is that any flash (even from HTC) will void my warranty!

Just connect directly to your Exchange server and dont worry about the Telstra bloat. All you need is a normal data pack, and hook up to your Exchange server (either via Active Sync or on the email tab). Don't pay for the extra email thing.
Regardless of the ROM, it will auto configure when it detects Telstra.
That's all you need. I'm with Telstra and regularly flash cooked ROMs.

Nah the problem is that the exchange e-mail the OP is talking about is a product/service Telstra offers which on any other phone requires you to set an APN different to Telstra.Internet or Telstra.WAP etc. It has the same functionality execpt that it acts as a VPN/Proxy for the exchange server connection.
I was previously using this on an iPhone without issue but cannot get it working on my HD2 as the carrier ROM won't let you change the APN.
I haven't tried it yet, but I'd assume that with any other ROM you'd set the default APN to telstra.<custom_name> and everything including exchange activesync would work.
I've always just used the normal telstra.wap APN for connection to my Exchange server.
But one thing I have found is that Activesync doesn't like keeping a connection alive if using the recommended proxy servers (150.1.181.* from memory).
So for the HD2 the preconfigured "Telstra Internet" gives me grief whereas using "My ISP" with only the telstra.wap APN and no proxy servers works fine. The difference in battery life is very noticeable as the phone is not constantly trying to maintain a connection.
the telstra website seems to suggest that the Email Pack allows access through a special route which is optimised for battery life and has been developed with Microsoft. I am guessing that these settings allow the phone to stay connected to the Excahnge server longer than Telstra would otherwise allow (when data goes through the usual internet APN).
It is really frustrating that Telstra can't/won't explain how it all works.
The pricing also makes me suspect that the Email Pack is a bit of a rip-off: if you don't choose to add it to the business mobile plus pack, you get 600MB of free data in your pack. If you choose the Email Pack, you have to pay an extra $20 and then your internet data (i.e. non-email) is reduced to 100MB. Which then means you have to add a 1Gig Data Pack (in case you use more than 100MB and get rorted with the Telstra excess data rates).
It would be really nice if Telstra was more open as to why this Email Pack is worth paying an extra $20 for.
I suspect the reason they are not is because it is a bit of a rip-off.
sounds a bit dodgy to me, letting your network operator become an active link in your work email chain.don't think I'd like o2 to be anything more than a blind data carrier for my works stuff.
Even downloading all e-mails in HTML with attachments and doing light web browsing I don't use more than 100-200MB a month so it isn't really an issue for me as I just buy enough prepaid datapacks.
When I got rid of the proxy servers I expected to have problems connecting to web sites and service but haven't had any dramas. I assume the special e-mail route bypasses any proxy servers and is optimised for exchange server push email traffic. But it does seem like premium pricing for the privilege.
