I've been experiencing the lag in browsing mentioned in the FAQ for the hermes:
There is a long delay while PIE display's a message 'Locating' - this last's about 30 seconds before the web page is displayed.
Put a hardcoded DNS server in network configuration instead of getting it by dhcp.
I've found the settings pages to let me alter this but I have no idea on what to enter in them!
Can anyone help? I couldn't find anything in teh networking forum for this.
Cheers
I also have this problem. Not 30 seconds, just 3 or 4 seconds. (Also on T-Mobile).
You can try another DNS server, google for one. I have no idea what is a fast reliable DNS server.

Hi, I have tried a search on this topic but not found any relevant discussions.
I am using a Qtek 2020 in France with SFR as my GPRS provider.
I have been trying to connect to my work VPN using the IP address, username and password I use on my desktop and pptp as the VPN type, however every time I try and connect the operation times out and asks me to check my username and password.
When I review these details I have noticed that my 12 character password defaults to a 16 character password every time, of course I cannot see what the password has defaulted to as it comprises of ***'s and is non-copy-able.
Is this normal behaviour and the problem lies elsewhere or is this a known fault?
Thanks for any help regarding this matter.
PS - should I eventually manage to connect to my VPN can you offer any advice on how to map a network drive on my Qtek or any way to access the files on the remote server?
Hi,
Being a mobile device, it gets used in many places, with many WiFi networks.
Setting the various networking parameters involves opening several different setup screens and (often) fiddling around with entering IP addresses, proxies, etc.
Does anyone know of a utility that allows the easy setting of DHCP vs fixed IP, maybe DNS servers and proxy vs no proxy? And, perhaps more importantly, a utility that both does this and remembers the settings for the various networks, allowing a rapid setup on the second and later connections?
Regards,
Geoff.
Sad but am replying to my own message.
Am I the only one that regularly connects to networks with different parameters?
Am still hopeful that someone will know of a utility to store network parameters and allow same to be set with one tap - or someone clever will make such a utility??
Hi Geoff,
No you're not the only one.
Have you found something yet? I could do with the same!

Here's another vote for such a utility, i'd love to be able to use mine at hoem and work without having to dig through several menus to get there.
What about a CAB install with different settings..
Same here mate. I am looking into XML cab files, that modify your network card settings eg DHCP \ Fixed IP and also changing over the Wireless network settings, eg SSID, WEP Keys etc.
Its easy enough to create a shortcut to a CAB file, and one that just changes a few registry settings operates very quickly.
Yes, its a manual workaround.
Yes a application that detects the loss of one WIFI and attempts you connect the others in your device and then configures the WLan card accordingly (DHCP\Fixed IP etc) would be very handy.
No - I haven't got very far yet, I took the idea from another thread where someone used it to RESTORE their WIFI settings after a cold-reset.

Help...
I have a HTC 3600 (handy as I'm posting in this forum ) and I have been trying to connect it to my work wireless setup. This is fairly locked down and has a hidden SSID and requires me to enter credentials (user name, password) to access the web. I can successfully connect to the Wi-Fi, I am issued with IP address etc but can't then take the next step to connect it to the web.
I have found an area to add a proxy with username and password - I do this but still nothing. One odd thing is that when I then go back to try editing the proxy settings 9 times out of 10 it has vanished and I have to create it again!!
This is causing much hair pulling!
Any direction/help in this would be great as I am now a little stuck.
I am on AX3L v3.0.9 build.
Cheers
Update
I have found out that if there are two settings in the connections summary - such as 'My Work Network' and in my case 'etisalat UAE' the proxy setting never gets lost. Is this a quirk, is there something that I am not understanding (I know the obv. answer to the last question is yes!)
This now brings me to my nest challenge which is how do you arrange these connections? What I mean is that if I am at work/home and have a wi-fi link active how do I get the device to pick this in preference to a GPRS connection which it should use at all other times? I have tried looking for some kind of guide so I can work through this my self but no luck so far..... if anyone knows of such a thing or can point me in the right direction then please reply to this.
Cheers
Hi All, just wondering if anyone else has come across this problem:
basically it seems that every time I make a connection to the internet (ie: every time I refresh a web page, send any outbound data) I get a different IP address from a small range.
To test this: go to 'whatsmyip.org' using your phone's browser.
note the IP address.
hit refresh.
note the IP address.
etc.
you should see that the IP address changes with each refresh.
Now, this is causing a particular problem when trying to set up a SIP client, because (obviously) the SIP server doesn't know where to find the client when there's a call for it.
Anyone got any solutions / suggestions?

There is a really good website that a large company built that should help you find some information. Link is below. When you open the website, there is a text box with a couple buttons under it. Type "How does changing DNS servers improve internet speed" and you should find your answer.

Thanks.
This app try to change automaticlly your dns settings, so the resolution of domain names become fast and you can navigate in the internet rapidly, but this technique doesn't improve the page content loading.
How ever it improves security & privacy a lot. E.g. use NortonDNS (for malware & phishing protection) as well as your phone/internet provider will not recieve the info of which websites you are browsing.
Hi, i've bought " Override dns" from play store for my Android box 4.4. but when the box is in standby or sleep mode for all night the IP reverted in its original value even if the message in the upper left corner said that all is ok
i dont feel its working in android 7.0 & up
