Hi All,
I've been tinkering as ever with my Wizard and I've noticed that I no longer seem to have the options to change how PIE connects to the internet. I *thought* it used to have tools...options...connections and you could set "work" or "internet" there - under options I have settings for memory but nothing else.
Am I just confusing this with WM2003 on my old Smartphone or have I broken something by fiddling?
Any suggestions?

OK, this 8125 is pissing me off. I want to use Wifi *exclusively* for web access. I don't want this thing to *ever* connect via GPRS, but I have no idea how to set it that way. I've searched but don't find anything along these lines, is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks!
Jason
well i have mine set that way "i think"
also i believe, someone else can chime in, as long as WIFI is turned on via the comm manager, its gonna overrule any other connection type like gprs or edge.
then what i did was go to to settings>connections>connections and make sure the first one selected is My ISP. then under your Wireless Lan connections settings, under the Power Mode tab, set that to best performance.
after that all I ever see up top is the WiFi icon. and if im not in a hotspot, E is there, but if i press explorer it just takes me to the media net page to login, so no data gets used anyway.
Dont know about 8125, but on my T-mobile MDA, I went to
settings->connections->connections.
There I deleted the configuration which had GPRS. Now my device tries to find wifi network or gives up.
Deleting the GPRS settings seems a bit drastic. Is there no way to say have separate "profiles". That way you could have a wifi only mode, and then when absolutlely necessary you could still use GPRS. I would be very interested in a solution like that, bit more flexible I think.
yes, wifi does take the default connection.. it will only try to use edge if there is no wifi connection present.
Or you can use the Registry Wizard and on page 4 select GPRS off...
Hi All
Sorry if this is a duplicate thread, I searched but coudln't find anything.
My PiE works fine only under WiFi, but never seems to want to work over my mobile data connection.
My BBConnect, and HTC Home Weather can establish and use the connection no problems, but not with PiE.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this up
Thank you!
...actually pie isn't working at all even over WiFi.
I click on any link, it says connecting then it stops...
i would
1 check the setting in connection advanced to see if it was set to use the right connection to access the internet
2 try another browser then pie (it being the worst browser on the planet could be an issue)
3½ if special network settings for gateway and or dns was set i would remove them or change them to the connect ones

My other programs (BBConnect, HTC Weather) have no problems getting on.
Just PIE (was set for Rogers Internet) I also tried My Blackberry and HTC Home still updates, but not PIE....
I thought I would bump this.
I gave up and did a re-install. Everything was fine for a bit, and its back again.
All I have installed is SyncML Client, VJDevice Lock, Today Agenda, voice command BBConnect.
Its ONLY IE that won't work. I would really appreciate some help with this one!
So it is the blackberry software that is doing it. I think it is forcing you to use that, rather than the regular data connection.
If anyone can help me manage this, I would appreciate it.
Thank you!
I have a similar browser related problem...
Everything works on 3G, GPRS, WiFi, etc... EXCEPT PIE only does not work with WiFi, same symptoms you are receiving. I have to turn off the WiFi to get PIE to work. With WiFi on, email and all other connectivity programs can stilll get data from the web.
There is something here where PIE settings are somehow slightly different than the WiFi connection....
Anyone have any ideas? The fix for me would also fix the same issue for you...
...and a follow up to the issue, if I wanted to change the default browser in WM6 to NetFront of Opera, how would I go about doing that?
Hey everyone,
I have done some searching and have not found a reasonable solution to my issue. I thought I would pose it here to see if a program already exist, or if someone would be willing to pen one real quick.
Basically I have three connections I use
GPRS with proxy
Active sync at work with different proxy
Home and other WiFi spots with NO proxy
I can have any two of these work great, but always require me go and change my connection under settings for the third. Currently I have the first two working as expected. My GPRS works fine. When I connect at work via active sync it is set to use My Work connection and is configured with the second proxy.
What I need is a program that will simply disable the proxy when WiFi is enabled. Battery Status does almost does this, but it also removes the proxy with AS which I need. Anyone out there have a solution for this? I have been tempted to see if the author of Battery Status will separate these two options. I thought I would see if there were other solutions first. Thanks for the help!!
Humm... no one knows of anything that can do this? Sounds like this may be something worth developing.
Hi,
I've recently become an owner of HTC Touch Diamond and I've been able to set up everything except wi-fi. I've tried to look everywhere in settings, I've searched for a solution on the internet but even though it seems I'm not the only person with this problem, nobody was able to give a certain solution.
The problem seems to be in secured Wi-Fi networks because when I try to connect to open network, it works fine, but whenever I try to connect to one of my home routers (WPA-PSK, TKIP) or at school (WPA, TKIP, 802.1X) it just says connecting... connecting... and then it goes not available and I can try it again but it never succeeds. I've tried all different kinds of options, nothing changed. One strange thing is the fact that the first time I turned on my HTC, it worked, but that was just for once.
I'm using the last official ROM and I haven't made too many changes in configuration, I just used tweakers such as Diamond Tweak, Diamond TF3D Config and Advanced Config to adjust some behavior.
Please, can anyone help me out? Thanks.
i think it posibli an certificate error from your acces point, for example in spain at university we use eduroam, it is wpa2, with ttls, that is not suported by ms mobile, but we can install and use secure2w.
in house i use wpa and i not have any problem conecting to mi ap, check if this is the problem, alse try another rom with a new xip and newer os
We also have eduroam at school and actually I was able to install the certificate so that shouldn't be the problem, anyways I'll try to use the secure2w program you're talking about. It might help...
But still, it doesn't explain why I can't connect to my home router which is definitely supported security (WPA-PSK, TKIP) and why I was able to connect to it once and from then I haven't been to. As I said in my first post, I think I'm not the only person because I found a few people with similar problems on the internet but nobody was able to solve or at least detect the cause of the problem.
I just remembered that I should point out that there shouldn't be any problem with my router configuration (such as MAC filtering and so on), also it's not the only one my HTC doesn't want to connect to, generally it's any secured router.
My problem is solved. I don't really know the basic reason but it was caused by Advanced Configuration Tool where I set some options (Networking - WPA and something else) to default values (as it said) but that was wrong. You need to set it to the other value and then it works.
platinix iu seem to have exactly the same problem you have dscribed ive messed around with network settings on adavnced config but to no prevail could you please tell you network settings it would be a great help
thanks
Hi,
I am sorry but I do not remember it exactly. I looked there and I think it was the option WPA authentication, I have it on disabled now. Try it. It really pain in the ass!
MAC
Haai there
Make sure your router permits your MAC address.
ditto: WPA Authentication was the prob
Thanks for the thread, it helped me find the problem I introduced with my 3-day-old Verizon HTC Touch Pro.
I'd installed .NET CF 3.5 (via a .cab file, not the ActiveSync) and the Advanced Configuration Tool and one of the tweaks I did was enable "WPA authentication". Sure seemed like a good idea. Turned out that's what kept my device from connecting to my home WPA/TKIP wifi network.
Disabling "WPA authentication" in the Advanced Configuration Tool cleared things up immediately. ... Well, immediately after the reboot anyway.

I reported on this issue in the Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool thread. The wording & logic are the wrong way around - what you think is enabling WPA is actually disabling it. I edited the .XML file and corrected this so mine looks OK now, however I don't think the original has ever been updated.
Its hard work searching on here but I did manage to find it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2840229&highlight=Disable#post2840229
Since there are other WPA2 settings that can be customised (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa916274.aspx) I updated the XML file I have so these settings are available.

I just got my Diamond2 - it is my first personal Windows Mobile phone, and so far I am generally pleased with it.
I have been developing applications for Windows Mobile and WinCE devices for years as part of my work, and has thus used such devices extensively, so i don't consider myself a noob.
I have a serious problem though. At home I have a hidden Wifi network (no SSID broadcast). I can configure this network just fine, and the Diamond2 connects to it and all is well. However, when the phone loses connection to the network, it doesn't reconnect and it loses my network profile settings totally, or at least so it seems. That means I have to enter my very long WPA key again (or have it in plain text on the device so I can copy/paste it, but I would rather avoid that).
Anyone else have this problem and hopefully a solution? It is really the only thing annoying me right now with this device.
Not sure to be honest but why not just have it on broadcast SSID if you already have WPA security on it? I know it's not a fix to what you want but the fact it's hidden is probably the whole reason it won't reconnect.
That is the solution I have deferred to right now, and it seems to be working.
I just think it ought to work with hidden networks as well, and indeed it does, it just "forgets" the settings when disconnected and doesn't reconnect.
Thats strange. I have mine hidden as well but it works just fine.
It also works 2 other places which I have tried that runs no SSID broadcast. The keys used are WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
Have you tried Hard Resetting your device? I know its a pain, but mine also had some bugs out of the box which got fixed after a Hard Reset..
I have the same problem now.
I have a hidden wireless network and can configure it just fine in the topaz.
It works quite well and fast (54Mbit WPA2, PSK, AES) and connects without problems most of the time.
But then sometimes it tries to connect to my network (I can see this in the wifi overview) without success.
My wireless setting then disappears completely from the topaz.
Then I have to recreate the complete wifi setting from scratch again.
This setting can be used at once just fine, but will fail and disappear again after a while (number of days? number of reconnects?)
Does anyone know, where the wifi settings are stored?
Couldn't find it in the registry with searching for the wifi SSID.
Maybe a backup could be made and restored if the setting is gone again.
It sounds like a bug for me, because you can explicitly configure a hidden network (via checkbox) and the setting should not be removed in case of any connection problem to that network.
