hey guys...I was wondering.... I wanna hard reset my pda and I will reinstall every app for fresh to get rid of the unwanted accumulated stuff. BUT my connection settings are very important to me, as it took me a while and some help from my operator to set everything up correctly. So, is there a way to backup my connection, but not along with all the other stuff, as I dont need anything else but my connections settings. any idea is welcome, thanks very much.

Okay, I have spent the past few days reading different forums trying to figure out what is wrong with my wifi connection. No one can seem to find the problem. If you are up to the challenge, I would LOVE for anyone else's help.
My problem is as follows,
I got my tmobile MSD just a few days ago. I (being dumb) started messing with the connections before I read how to set them up. Now, whenever I attempt to connect through my WIFI it begins to load, then says this page can not be found. What in the world is wrong with it? I do not have a medi/data plan, so I do not want to use anything that will charge me, hince why I am attempting to use wifi. If anyone can tell me how to get this darn thing to work, I will love it! Thanks so much! have a great day
You are not giving the details needed for people to help you.
If you answer the following you may get a solution:
1) What WiFi network / hotspot are you trying to connect to?
2) Are you sure that network connects to the internet? (Other computers / devices using it?)
3) Are you sure it is not secure?
4) How did you set up your WiFi connection? (Give exact setup parameters)
5) Does the WiFi icon show connected?
6) What URL are you trying to access?
7) Can you access any other site, like google.com?
At the moment there is no way of telling where the problem is.

I agree with levenum... but also you could try this....
go to settings...connections....wifi...menu...remove settings. do a soft reset then.
then whenur ppc is back on again, put the wifi scaner on, find a available accessible network. u must be able to browse again. it has worked 4 me.
worse case-- hard reset
I am trying to connect to my wireless at work (it is not secure) My work computer/laptop can connect.
I have not attempted to do ANYTHING to setup my wifi. I simply turned my wifi on and it picked up the wirless connection. Yes it says it is connected. I have attempted to go to many different URLs, each says the same error message.
If i were to attempt to do a soft/hard reset how do I do that.
If you could not already tell, I am new at this enitre thing.
wiki
please then you must find out by reading the wiki what category does ur ppc fall under. alternatively read th ppc manual or look up on the internet the ppc specifications to find the rest button. usually its a tiny hole where u can insert the tip of the stylus into. that should resEt ur ppc
when i reset it, it will not mess with my SIM card will it

you really are new to this aren't you, don't worry reset does not mess wth the sim card, please don't panic, I had the same prblem as u indeed, and read the WIKI
haha I am! How could you tell lol. THanks for the help!
Before you reset know this:
1) Hard reset will erase all your data and installed programs and restore the phone to factory settings i.e. OS and built in apps only!
Make sure you back it up!
(See manual for button combination, or try Settings->system->Clear storage icon if you have it to preform hard reset)
2) Soft reset (just press with stylus in reset hole) will simply reboot the device.
Neither will help if you didn't manage to connect to WiFi even before messing with your settings.
Also, see if you need to manually enter a gateway or proxy address to connect to to your work network. (This depends on the network settings)
One last thing: when your network is detected and you are asked if it connects to 'The internet' or 'Work' be sure to select 'The internet'.
Thats all I can think of at the moment...
Okay, so my Hermes is acting up. I'm on Shamanix's 3.62 ROM, radio 1.54.30. Everything works great and I can get programs like HTC weather to hit the net, Avantgo, or any other programs at any time to hit the net when I'm connected. But when I start IE it shows at the bottom of the screen where it's trying to load, but instead of the KB number going up, it stays at "0" and the page never loads. No matter what site I try, it never loads. I have done I don't know how many soft resets. I use the "disable" and "restore" cingular proxy cabs when I hit wifi networks, but that's definitely not the problem. Over media net, I can log into MSN messenger at any time and it works great. If the proxy isn't enabled, I get a message saying I can't connect to messenger. I don't know what the deal is. Any ideas? I've searched through everything I can find to try and figure out why IE won't load!! Thanks!!
Same problem here...no internet through PIE. Media Net screwed up? I am on F-32 WM6.1 rom. PIE ran fine for few weeks then just died....

That's how mine has been. It happened earlier this week, and somehow PIE came back after several soft reboots. If anyone knows how to fix this, short of reloading the rom, I would definitely appreciate knowing. Thanks!
Hey all,
Try the following...
1st, backup up your device using SPB Backup or Sprite.
Next, do a hard reset.
After your device reboots from the initial setup, try using your wifi to connect to the internet.
Now try IE...
Does IE work? If so.... it's just a settings issue in your Connections settings.
Restore your device using the backup created in step 1 if you want to get back to where you started or just setup your Hermes again from scratch. I know it's a pain in the butt but it does solve the issue
Good luck
No need to Hard Reset. I can connect fine with wifi...just not through media net for some reason...No settings where changes, it just quit one day. Since then I have tried all sorts of different connection settings. I can get my email without any problems, but can't connect to any websites under PIE.
Okay, it definitely has something to do with using the disable cingular proxy and PIE. I have hardbooted my hermes, reloaded the ROM, and everything worked great over medianet. Then I just tried the disable and restore cingular proxy, and the issue just came right back!!! Man, if anybody know whether there's an issue with those two programs, please let me know!!
Apologies for asking for help with a problem I have caused myself.
I switched off some services without saving my previous settings, and now both USBtool and Internet Sharing aren't working. Everything else works, and in the absence of a more direct connection, I can get files to WinMo by e-mail.
There is a chance that it is coincidental, and I did something else, but if anyone knows which services USBtool and Internet Sharing rely on, that would be handy.
I have attached my settings as a tab-separated file, if anyone is kind enough to help.
Cheers,
Matthew
Not gone through all the list but just from the first few lines I can see many of the Networking services are disbled! Even Security Center also.
Have you tried System Restore to a date before you did whatever you did?
Not knowing what else has been effected it will probably be down re-install if that fails.
Thanks for that. The interesting thing is that my normal internet access is unaffected, either on WiFi or 3G, and the Vista side is definitely faster now, so I felt quite pleased with myself.
However, your suggestion does provide me with a smaller group to switch on one-by-one.
I might try a system restore too if I really need to - if I didn't switch that off too

Hey guys, i have flashed to a few ROMs in the past and my phone would always give me the trouble of no data connection. My tmobile wing is hard spl and running currently on papa's black diamond. whenever i tried to go to the comm manager to activate the data connection, it just wont turn on while other buttons i have no problem turning on such as wlan and bluetooth.
i've also tried launching internet but it just says there's no data connection and ask me to go to settings. i still can make calls but just completely no data connections. i have also soft resetted it several time and no luck. =/
help would be great!
ps. i've looked up several other threads with the same problem, however, theres really nothing under connections except add new so it didnt help much.

I think you have to use the Network Wizard. If it is not in that rom, can install it using the cab, it's should be around this forum.
thanks live! but i'm not sure which network wizard cab file works and which doesnt.. so a friend helped me set it up manually. thanks though!!

What, have you heard that question before?

yes my fone is having the same problem and now i cant flash to a new rom
i flashed for the first time yesterday, and had the same problem. just call tmobile and tell them somehow your data connection information has deleted, and they will run u through what to put in the fields. and don't forget to go to the network wizard, to make sure its on the right network.
Same problem except it WAS working (my gprs/edge) until I added my first wlan entry.. of my apartment's wifi which works. But after I was done using it i turned the wlan off from comm manager and expected to see the big E for edge and instead just see the two arrows with the little x under it. I can no longer connect to gprs/edge. If i open the internet explorer to view a page, it flashes a "G" with the arrows like it's trying to connect forever. At that point it will not even let me make or receive calls until I reboot the ppc. Network wizard won't fix it as I've already tried, twice... no change. My data connection for T-mobile is set up already under "connections tab" but it just doesn't work. My best guess is something has gone wrong in the registry... but as much as I've searched for this kind of problem I find nothing... just stuff how to fix wlan problems. btw, i'm on tmobile. Oh, it won't even activesync if my wlan is off now... I have to enable the wlan and let it connect to my home network... and THEN it will go through activesync without error. This is nuts, I already hard resetted once because of this and now it's the same story. Maybe it's just a prob with the opentouch 6.5 nofrills version that's just basic and let's the users add their own apps.
Ive had my HD2 for about 6 months working like a charm. A few days ago suddenly without any reason, I stopped being able to use WIFI. The wireless networks are found and i connect to them as usual but then, I only get DNS errors or server not found messages, as if I have some sort of a proxy misconfiguration.
I did nothing to the phone, didn't change any setting or installed any software, it just stopped working. I tried every possible configuration and as a last resource I hard reset the phone, then, everything works again as usual. Upon restoring my configuration performing a full restore with SPB Backup, again, I cannot connect to the internet. The hardware is clearly working and its a WM configuration issue of some sort.
Id hate to have to re-install everything from scratch because of an issue like this. Ive even tried importing connection manager registry settings from the hard reset version that works perfectly but that doesn't solve the issue either. This is so strange...
Any hints before I give up? Thanks to all in advance for the advice
manualy input you providers settings into the phone, sometimes the phone can corrupt them

Yes I know this, and I didnt do it. I tried different settings once the WIFI problems started but did a restore after that. This happened by itself without me changing anything in the first place!
Make a separate back-up of your PIM data, put all your CAB files in one folder and a hard reset should not take you more than half an hour to reinstall everything. You can even find on this forum how to make a .cab file for your email settings.
Once it all works, make a new back-up and you are back in business again.
