Okay, I am trying to figure out what the best settings are to maximize internet speed.
I am in Washington DC on Cingular, with Summitters 2.26 and the 2.47 radio.
IN connections I have two options, MEdia Net and My ISP in the tasks tab.
In the advanced tab, under select networks it is set to have programs connecting to the internet use MEdia Net and programs connecting to a private network using My ISP.
WHen I go to manage existing connections under MEdianet it is using wap.cingular and I input the OpenDNS setting and verified that they work.
When I go to managing existing connections under my ISP it is using isp.cingular, again with the Open DNS settings.
From you guys experience is there a magic combo? Could I use any of the 4 potential combinations?
Thanks!

Here is what i found... MEdia net provides me better speeds w/out open dns, but uses cingular's proxy server. However certain programs like IM+ and other apps wont connect through the proxy(and neither does wifi)**(also note that if you actually use the media net home page for some cingular stuff then the opendns settings will not direct you to those pages).... Now My Isp may look like the same connection, but its not, it dont use the proxy settings... and is slower than **** without the opendns settings.. i ran speedtests in my 2.47.11 radio thread, you might want to check them out
Here is my final take.. if i can figure out how to get my other apps to run through the proxy i would switch to media net without open dns

Ok so i just got the us cingular media max bundle which has unlimited data/media net..
So i can get online.. but my outlook always gives me an error when trying to acces my pop3 email.
When i click on send/receive i get the following message
Cannot connect with current connection settings.
Shouldnt it attempt to connect to cingular gprs like the same way internet explorer does automatically?
Help please
Follow this path on your device:
START>SETTINGS>CONNECTIONS>CONNECTIONS>ADVANCED>Select Networks
Your stock rom may be different from mine, but I have "My ISP" listed first, and then 'My Work Network' second. You may want 'MEdia Net' first, and 'My work Network' or 'My ISP' second. Depends on which rom you have... I have the latest Summiter rom... so that's why mine will be different.
thanks for replying
I currently have both set to media net
you should have the top setting as my isp the only difference between my isp and media net is media net has a proxy server set on it which allows you to view the http://home page which is your programmed homepage as you see on a standard phone through wap but the my isp doesn't have the proxy setting allowing you to go to standard webpages instead of wap pages you should have my isp on the top box and my work network on the bottom box

worked... thanks allot
I've now had my Trinity for a week and I love it. The GPS and TOM TOM are great. I bought a car mount from Mobile Planet (Expansys) and it works better than the Magellan I was using. The phone functions work generally well, although not as crisp as my Cingular 8525.
I set up the MediaNet connections manually using the settings from the AT&T web-site, and it seems to work well.
There are cab files for all of the Cingular settings that are posted on the XDA Hermes/TyTn list, but I'm not sure if there are any settings in that cab that will improve my Trinity's connectivity. I'm also concerened that I may in some way disable the Trinity with this cab file.
Any Comments?

I'm in the market for my 2nd Trinity. Where did you get it and what did you pay? Some resellers still have old stock with the old ROM.
As far as your settings go, I saw little or no difference with the cingular settings in my area. There are a couple of options you have including DNS servers and access point. I've had good luck with the folowing:
cellular line GPRS
access point - wap.cingular
user name [email protected]
pw CINGULAR1
no domain
Advanced server settings
DNS 208.67.222.222
ALT 208.67.220.220
Others may have a different experience. I never installed the cab.

I got my Trinity from Phone Source USA for 593 shipped. Here goes a link to their ebay auction.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-new-HTC-P...ryZ64355QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Results from quick experiment: San Francisco, USA
HTC Trinity (Latest LVSW.1.0.0.7 rom & Radio.1.41.00.11)
The Cing cabs (from this Forum) used to make settings put adv server config numbers in. Everything else is exactly same as manual setup with auto or configured servers.
Advanced server settings
DNS 208.67.222.222
ALT 208.67.220.220
Phone Band network type set: Auto
GSM/UMTS set: GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
Method: Connections, Advanced, Selected Network, MEdia Net settings or WAP (no proxy) settings, IE defaulted to Windows Live, clicked on url to DSL Reports-Speed Test, 600K used for every test, resulting kbits/sec, re-entered DSL Reports url each test. Between different network settings runs, made change, & soft reset. 2 separate run sets for both network configs & auto/non-auto adv server setup. All numbers kbits/sec.
MEdia Net-AUTO: 804, 889. Avg=847
MEdia Net-Adv settings: 880, 857. Avg=869
WAP-no proxy-AUTO: 634, 618. Avg=626
WAP-no proxy-Adv settings: 632, 705. Avg=669
(For accuracy, each number of the first 2 pairs presented are also averages of 3 separate runs each, with lowest value dropped & 2 used for avg of that run.)
Either method shows MEdia Net as mycingular.net or WAP-non-proxy as myvzw.com, but different ip addresses, for these runs.
Looks like NO STATISTICAL DIFFERENCES in overall results as to the use of Advanced dedicated dns settings.
Also, using the Cingular apps, i.e., MobiTV, Media Net Video, Streaming Video or Music, or other (non-Cingular) Internet Streaming Video & Audio sites, AUTO server-assigned settings worked almost always.
When switching to Adv dedicated settings instead, sometimes a change to AUTO-server assigned would be necessary to get the Video or Audio to run correctly.
Similar results obtained with HTC Tytn.
The only diff I saw with DNS is the time it takes to locate and open web pages. Much faster with the DNS settings I listed above for all of my devices. It has been a year or so since I have changed anything. Results may not be the same now.
How did you put in these settings? I went to Settings --> Connections --> GPRS Setting, but it only has 2 radio buttons: "PAP authentication" and "CHAP authentication".

Create a new connection with those settings.
I am using the .cab 'Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2' on my Trinity and I am always getting nice 3G speeds (Since I am in UMTS or HSDPA areas 95% of my day).
If I go to Settings --> Connections --> Tasks, I only see
"Add a new model connection"
"Add a new VPN server connection"
....
I have tried all of those options, but don't see to be able to create a connection described by you. Can you help? Thanks.

You said: "How did you put in these settings? I went to Settings --> Connections --> GPRS Setting, but it only has 2 radio buttons: "PAP authentication" and "CHAP authentication"."
For GPRS, choose CHAP. Then return to Connections, to continue dialog.
Go to Settings/Connections/Connections:
There you should see: 2 main Headings: Media Net & My Work Network
Also, you have the Advanced tab at bottom, Click on that:
Click on Select networks
Choose on top dialog, My Isp for setting up Data connection OR media Net for setting up proxy connection.
OR, an easy way is:
The file commented on in previous post by maevro, is the easiest way. Do a search on forum, you'll find it easily. Install the cab. Search for cab: Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2
Just create a new modem connection.
Thank you guys, I appreciate it. I am able to get it to work now. How come mine says I connect to EDGE, but not 3G? Again, thank you.
Wow, why go through all of this? Download this .cab and run it & it will set up all the AT&T/Cingular settings...I have said this a while back in this thread....
Just upgrade to newest TMO ROM for a Universal, prior to that was using stock ROM and was able to get email and surf with one connection with this new ROM I have 2 connections 1.for email and 1.for internet. but now if I get a link in an email I have to disconnect the first connection; connect with the second connection just to look at the link? Is it possible to have it like I did before and have one connection for all internet activities? Without downgrading.
This new ROM has "push mail" don't know if that makes a difference?
I have no idea what configuration you actually have, but there is no reason you need separate connections on any ROM.
Its hard to tell without knowing the exact settings but try this:
Go in to Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Network selection
You will see two drop-down lists, select 'My ISP' in both of them.
This should get both your email and explorer to use the same connection.
ok, I'm using TMO pay-as-you-go with the cheap plan, it seems after I updated my ROM I had to create 2 connections 1. using a proxy server(PIE) and the other without a proxy server(email). Without the proxy server I can't use PIE and with the proxy server no emails; what i'm looking for is the happy median.
Device: 02 XDA UNI
ROM: latest TMO ROM
RADIO: 1.17
Thanks for the reply.
I'm trying to figure out this same problem. I'm running a tmobile WING with pdaviet's ROM ver 4.10.07.14 WWE Radio version 02.83.90 and have to use dual connections to access email and web. I'm using the T-Zones proxy for my internet connection.
T-Zones access point wap.voicestream.com
proxy server 216.155.165.50:8080
and
T-Mobile Data access point wap.voicestream.com
no proxy settings
It seems far fetched to think there may be a way to have one connection try to establish and bypass to the secondary if there's no connect. Maybe i'm just missing something here. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Hello,
I have HTC Touch, and I'm trying to connect to wifi with ISA proxy.
First, I connected to home wifi (no proxy) and accessed internet without problem.
At work we have Radius etc. but I also connected, and I can surf to pages inside company (no need for proxy), but I can't get out to internet.
Any suggestion would be great!
tnx
small update: looks like I was surfing at work through usb cable, not wifi. But now I can't even connect to wifi at work, which I could before. Funny things going on, I'll reset.
Update2:
Newest status is: wifi connected, can surf internal sites, but can't go outside company network.
I suspect that IE is not going through the proxy at all. Which implicates that I don't know how to setup IE to use proxy on WM6???
If you edit "My Work Settings" thru Settings -> Connections -> Connections you can edit the proxy settings there. Then you say "connect to internet" thru "My Work Settings". I may be wrong, but I think you need to reset the pda as well...
OK, here are my settings:
under settings-connections-connections, advanced - select networks:
"Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:" My Work Network.
When I click Edit, under Modem, there are no entries.
Under Proxy settings, "This network connects to internet" and "this network uses a proxy.." are both checked.
"Proxy server" field is disabled.
Under Advanced:
Socks line has serverort next to it. Others are empty. Server and port are good.
I click ok on all and go to IE. Type www.google.com, it says "Locating.." and that's all. Internal web sites are opening ok.
I tried to turn it off, and back on.
Tried google, not working.
I checked all settings once again and tried then, still nothing.
This is a common problem and I have not found a solution for it myself yet.
The proxy settings are lost when you apply them, and the SOCKS server settings behaves weirdly.
Anyone knows what can be done?
i want to know how to do this too... my school is also using the same system.
still no update
no update ??
configfree from Toshiba
Dear,
I had an old E800 from toshiba where configfree is installed. With this program I can configure proxy for wifi in 10 sec and it works.
does someone know where we can find this program for other PDA. I want to try it on my Cruise.
Vincent
I'm also having the same issue. Can anyone help, please?
From my experiences I can tell you: THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE HTC AND HTTP PROXY FOR WIFI RUN. Neither with WM6.0 nor 6.1 nor a special brand nor the original firmware.
I have tried to inform HTC support, but I'm extremely pessemistic, that at least one will care. It seems to be not a WM related problem, because my WM6 ASUS doesn't have that issue.
There is a work around for browsers only: Don't use Pocket IE, use Minimo, because this browswer has it's own proxy setup. But it doesn't help you much, if you want to use other applications.
EDIT: Just to inform you, what happens, if you upgrade to WM6.1: The proxy settings are kept (HURRRAY) ---- but ignored completely It's _that_ brain damaged...
Regards

I can confirm the same "symptoms": proxy is totally being ignored on WM6.1. However, they're kept when you close the settings.

Proxy over WiFi works for me and has done with my previous HTC Wizard and now with my Kaiser. I have checked with a sniffer that I am definitely using the proxy over port 8080 (MS ISA 2006).
I have explained this before but this is how my device is setup.
ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre - Connection Settings set to 'This computer is connected to: Work Network' - Setting this to Automatic or The Internet deletes any Proxy Settings on the device when you connect it.
WiFi. My home WiFi SSID Network set to 'Connects to: Work'
Connections. 'Tasks' tab - Two settings 'My ISP' & 'My Work Network'. Advanced Tab, Select Networks. Top settings 'Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: My ISP'. Bottom settings 'Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using: My Work Network'. Under 'My ISP' I have the GPRS details for my carrier (Vodafone). Under 'My Work Network' I have a proxy defined with the Advanced settings configured - HTTP set to my proxy with the port 8080 and Socks set to my proxy with port 1080.
That's it and has worked for me since Windows Mobile 6.0 appeared for the Wizard. I used the same settings when I first got my Kaiser with WM 6.0 and now with WM 6.1 (more or less stock 5.2.19212) and it has worked every time.

WiFi and Proxy
There are too many wifi connection in the present. But the best thing is to choose the right one. Can you tell me to choose the right one with no Proxy service. Thanks
I'm trying to change the t-mobile proxy settings in the connections settings because it keeps crashing the opera browser when i visit https secured websites, messenger and so on.
I unchecked the box next to "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet". But i noticed it doesnt change it and when i go back to the proxy settings, i find its still checked. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a bug or is there some kinda lock preventing it from being changed? and how do i change it?
ideas? tips? pls?
you on t-mobile usa? bc i have those settings
Tmo USA has been switching its EDGE networks over to a new server. You can now point the modem to epc.tmobile.com (not the old wap.voicestream.com) and no longer need to use any proxy.
However WinMo is a bit flaky in how it configures multiple connections, especially with how it resets the proxy settings. From Start > Settings > Connections Tab > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks, you should set both Internet and Private Network to your Tmobile connection. After you do that, you will be able to change the proxy settings.
WinMo will still switch over to WiFi if it's available (or if you manually disconnect EDGE), but this will get you connected to Tmo's new proxy-less epc.tmobile.com server and should enable https as well as other non-port-80 services.
Of course you will need to soft-reset to activate the new settings.
wait so if i used that epc. server as opposed to the wap., would i see any difference in connection speed? just curious
nevermind... i think it works the same. but atleast i don't have to deal with all the proxy crap

i'm on t-mobile uk.. still having no luck. I'm looking to change the proxy settings because it keeps crashing Opera and ie when visiting secure sites.. messenger doesnt connect either.
Oh, well I can't help with specific Tmo UK settings. But setting both connections to your Tmo connection should still allow you to modify the proxy settings.
But as for the US' epc.tmobile.com server, the speed should be marginally faster (not a lot, it's still EDGE of course); still it will depend on your location/coverage. The biggest improvement is that all sorts of non-port-80 services (https, ssh, chat, remote desktop, etc) now work. Bottom line, it's certainly not worse than the old wap server.
