Where does WM5 store DNS settings?? i ask cause i would like to take my DNS settings and put them in a cab in my extended rom, i did a quick search and didnt find what i was looking for in my reg.. maybe there is a config file somewhere?!?
Odd. I would have figured they would have been in the registry. I'll poke around and see if I can figure it out. I don't much feel like working today anyway..
Okay, looks like it is indeed in the registry.
I just manually set a DNS server on my 8125, and this is the key I found it in:
HKLM\Comm\Cellular Line\Parms\TcpIp\DNS
It's a multiline value.
I exported it from Resco, and it looks like this:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Cellular Line\Parms\TcpIp]
"DNS"=hex(7):36,00,35,00,2E,00,31,00,30,00,36,00,2E,00,31,00,2E,00,31,00,39,00,36,\
00,00,00,36,00,35,00,2E,00,31,00,30,00,36,00,2E,00,37,00,2E,00,31,00,39,00,\
36,00,00,00,00,00
Not sure if that will help any or not..
i will experiment and see what i come up with.... i did the dns from opendns and on my cingular phone made a world of difference, gonna try to make a cab that will change it for me..
Let me know if there's anything I can help with..

wanna know something interesting... i just made a rom for my wizrd.. has IPL/SPL 2.26 etc.. but loaded AKU3.2 with it as well.. and the dns is no longer in hex... here is a screen shot before changing my dns
I saw something similar with Resco. I'd look at it through Resco, and it'd look like that. Yet, when I exported it to a .reg file, it looked like the hex I posted..
Very strange. Haven't tried it yet since I upgraded to the AKU3.2 ROM yet, but I'd imagine the same results would be had..
maybe that could be it.. i used remote reg edit last time i looked on the phone with aku2.3, this time i used TRE..
i manually changed the dns through the settings menu, did a soft reset and the values in the reg stay the same
there is also this info in the reg... i wonder if dns could be added in this somewhere.. i would but im not a reg wiz.. maybe someone else can figure it out
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}\HTTP-{97626DCF-818F-4be1-AC7E-77DA1B01F145}]

Hmmm.. I'm about to pack up and head home for the day.. I'm going to putz with the reg settings some more tonight, I think. I would think that the value would change if you change it under connections.. unless it's changing it in a different key? I dunno.. Cause I saw it change when I added a second DNS server as well.. I added one at a time..
Very interesting..
i think i figured it out... that dns key you found.. that populates with the last dns address listed.. i used the my isp gprs setting and browsed to google, checked the key and it displayed the opendns address, so i then connected with MEdia net and it gave me the prior dns i listed...
I am a frequent traveller, I travel a lot between Eastern and Central Time zones.
When my PPC was on WM5 it used to Auto update the time no matter which state I used to be in.
But ever since I updated my PPC to WM6 the AutoUpdate of clock stopped working. Can someone help me out
i did find a registry entry which I used.. I do timezone tab in Phone settings and it is checked to autoupdate and still the phone is unable to update the time from network.
anyhelp is greatly appreciated
You are seriously wondering why you are not getting full functionality out of a bootlegged OS?

I can't help with the WM6 question...but I am curious how you managed this with the WM5 OS. I have an 8125 and apparently a similar travel pattern. My device NEVER updates the time based on the network. How did you set this up when you were still running 5?
I am interested in how you got it working as well. Mine did not update once from the east coast to the west coast. Not even when making a call.
well i have a reg tweek that will change the time when you enter a diff time zone via the network...hope this is what your looking for....
Timezone and time update
In the branch HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting Change the value of the Key "ShowTimeZonesPage" to value of 1 (dword). Close your registry editor (no reset required) and tap START-SETTINGS-PHONE, there should be a new tab where you can automatically set the phone to get time and timezone information from the network. Really useful for me as I do extensive travelling. Tested on WM5

thats why this is called xda-developers. we'll find a way to make it work.
btw how did you get the new wm6 on your wizard....is there a link..
yes, i was wondering where the wm6 rom download is also.

Yes! Its there on WM6 too!!!! Dont know if it actually works, yet to travel in a different timezone.
I have had it enabled in my registry in WM5 and WM6. It's NEVER worked for me. I change phones a lot so I'm always taking out the SIM card. When I do this, the battery comes out and it loses time/date.
I'd be curious on the details as well because I've never heard anyone that actually had it functioning!

I tested this tweak and it seems to work when I initiate flight mode and then turn flight mode off (which will be great when I land on the plane...the time will adjust automatically).
Will this update periodically check the time to ensure it's sync'd or will this only work when the phone initially communicates with the network?
acording to microsoft list of bugs in all from aku1 to aku3 this feature never worked and they never fixed it..... since crossbow has several parts of old aku roms my guess is it does not work either..... this feature is also carrier dependent if you manage to make it work.

My carrier supports it. My Wizard never did with the ROM hack or with Crossbow. So if it worked, I'd love to find out how! This at least makes me feel good that I'm not missing out on something...

upon doing some more reading aparently some aku3 roms now support it!!!
but in a diferent way. here it is;
Receiving Network Identity and Time Zone(NITZ) information is currently unsupported.
This feature was incorrectly documented to be supported by Windows Mobile Version 5.0 AKU3.0 in Windows Mobile Version 5.0 Documentation Release. NITZ is currently supported at Radio Interface Layer(RIL) only.

OK, so apparently this functionality is in fairly high demand...and since we're talking about WWAN devices, hasn't someone written an app that will periodically ping a time server (like PC OS's) and update the time on the device?
I am NOT a developer, so maybe I'm missing something obvious here. But it doesn't seem like a complicated concept for sure.
registry wizard does this
the xda-developers registry wizard allows you to make the registry tweak "show time zone s page" in both WM5 and WM6,- this put the time zone tab in phone-options, but the feature never worked for me. I called my provider to confirm if they supported it but the help desk was clueless- Would love to see if anyone got this working.
Confirmed working on my 8125 through the Cingular network. Before the hack I had to initiate a physical active sync through USB or manually change the time. Now if I go and change the time to say an hour ahead within 5 -10 seconds the time reverts back automatically.

Here is a quote and a link to a program I found on the Cingular/HTC forum:
"How hard would it be to go to the clock settings and select the "visiting" button and select the time zone you are in?
Works for me.
There are options for atomic clock server time sync. But that won't address time zone issues.
http://zdnetasia.com/downloads/handheld/swinfo/0,39043246,39175141s,00.htm
"
I don't go out of my own time zone, so I don't really have any issues with it. The registy hack has worked just fine on my 8125.
Hi
I have put the latest Cingular AKU 3.3 on my iMate JasJam.
3G/GPRS works fine and it connects properly with most of my application:
Opera, email etc..
However, for some reasons Internet Explorer will never connect nor will it resolves URL.
What could be the issue?
All other applications using the internet connection is working !

PIE has a hardcoded proxy now, you have to remove it in the registry.
the reg change is in the hermes wiki near the end (newly updated).
is there a way to fix this without manually changing my registry settings? To date I have avoided changing my registry settings for fear of screwing something up. How "hard" is it to use one of the registry editors to change settings... is my fear justified?
Also, without changing the settings, what limitations/changes will I see in PIE that I don't see now using AKU 2.2 (or whatever the current Cingular ROM is)?

probably not. it's very easy, and the registry wiki page is quite helpful. since you just upgraded, now is a good time to try playing with the registry...worst case, you hard reset and nothing is really lost. i don't think you'll have any issues making minor changes though.
sooner or later, one of the very helpful people on this board will probably post a cab or small app that allows this registry entry to be easily changed/toggled.

from what i understand, without the registry change PIE will not function unless you are connected via the wap.cingular APN. this may or may not even be an issue for you in the first place.

Thank you for this information,
Since I have put the HTC 2.05 Test ROM which doesn't have this issue. I also like it better as there's no AT&T logo everywhere.

If I press wlan button in Comm Manager than WiFi should be ON but it is not. I did use some different roms but still nothing. Somebody know what to do ?
settings-connections-wireless lan - there is only message:
Wireless LAN is OFF.Turn on Wireless LAN.
It does not work. Please help me.
Go back to wm5. If your lucky it might come back. The more I dig through here the more I see people with wifi problems after flashing. You might be out of luck
HOWEVER
I noticed under WM6 the bubble that pops up when you click on the wifi tower ALWAYS says 'turn on wifi'
Good luck!
Same problem with my WI-FI, Not working please help!!!!
Hi All. I am facing the same problem with my WI-FI as Vomithaus is having. Whenever I try to to connect to WIFI from Commmanager, it tries to and then to show disconnected. When i go to settings> Wireless LAN, it asks me to "Configure Network Adaptors", and lists all the adaptors and going into them asks about the ip settings and stuff like that. By the Way I Bricked my phone once and then i flashed with T-Mobile Ship WM6.0 RUU for the WING. And I strongly suspect that the registry setting are not right or the Radio ROM is F***ed up. Can any knowledgeable person help me please? I would greatly appreciated any help.
Same problem with my WI-FI, Not working please help!!!!
This is the addeneum to the last post. The last remaining screenshot for the above post. The last screen shot of the "Wi-Fi Status" in the "Settings > Connection", gives me an option to "Turn on Wi-Fi" but toggeling it results in nothing. Thank You everybody for your time and consideration.
It might help us to figure out how this happened too. I bought the EXEC off of ebay and it was like this from the get go. The previous owner flashed it to wm6 about 1 month ago, but said it was working fine... all he did was hard reset to get rid of the personal information. I want to believe him, but there are a few people on here complaining of flashing the exec and losing wifi. (even the official rom from O2).
Flashing COULD have damaged the transmitter, but it seems more likely that a setting is wrong somewhere (especially since there is a slider bar for WIFI battery vs performance).
This is good news (somewhat), but the bad news is that if there is one, no one knows about it. I have messed around in the registry (there were some promising entries related to POWER), but nothing that even showed a response. I found the entry that connects to the slider bar, but PERFORMANCE = zero, so there is nowhere to go there but WORSE.
This really sucks, is all I can say. I blew $500 on something that is useless (well... not useless, but no WIFI? WHY COULD IT HAVE NOT BEEN BLUETOOTH!)
Another step I have taken is contacting PPC Tech's via email and asking them if they have any idea how to repair it, and how much $$$
I'll keep you informed.
Can you tell me if yours EVER worked, and if so, when it stopped?
I just looked closer at your screenshots.... Do you have a WIFI card? (it say's 'adapter').
No, I dont have a WIFI card but this is way how windows handles all is peripherals (services), as an add-on card. just like you laptop.
Guys, There is a registry fix for this problem.
Please take look here :

I am afraid Ron that this is not a case as suggested in Beowulf6's solution. If it is the solution I dont know how to exactly implement it. But I am posting here the exact registry key screenshot for you guys to take a look also. I can't see and TNETWLN1 or TNET12345 key here in my device. I still think it has to something with the registry. Can any one here with a T-Mobile WING verify and post their screen shot? or maybe send me a registry backup to compare with? It would be really grateful it some does that. Thanks everybody for a few seconds to read this.
In my herald i can't see TNETWLN1 or TNETWLN12345 too.
I did use Mobile Registry Editor for that , what you guys are useing?
(sorry for my English, if you dont understand me just tell me please)
Look at the screenshots, there a Reg Folder with the name WLAN, open it, and then open the key with all the numbers and letters. At the end of that line is a code. TNETWLAN1 is what it should be for the Herald.

It is like Bio88 says.
You are already on the right track... click on WLAN and you will find the key.
Change the value of the key into TNETWLAN1
Done

Hi Please look at my screen shot again clearly. I did post what is inside the WLAN folder. There are only two keys :
1) (Default) \Windows\ctlpnl.exe
2) CmdLine cplmain17
I still can't figure where is the key with numbers and letters. Sorry If I am a bit dumb or wrong. Thanks.
it is possible if you use the default Commanager that you dont have this registry key.
I dont know if it helps if you create it on your own.
but for me where i installed a different commanager, the Key was there and i edited it for the wlan button.
My Tmo Wing has "TIACXWLN1" in that registry key.
Do those changes apply to the herald and the Wing interchangeably?
I tried to use the Internet Sharing option when connecting to a laptop - just like I did with the original ATT Tilt - but I always get Invalid APN. Does everybody get the same and is there a work-around?
tethering
check to see (upon running Internet Sharing)
under Network Connection
my TP2 shows 2 options
MEdia Net
and one for GPRS A&T
the only one that works for me it MEdia Net
please post if you have those options and if it worked.
internet sharing
OK
Thanks for posting the issue with internet sharing
Here's the fix
Use reg edit and change these values:
HKCU\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNETSHARING\LASTCELLCALL CHANGE TO "MEdia Net"
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\ForceCellConnection change to "MEdia Net"
AT&T blocked option to change connection type so you have to change that in reg.
Now just softreset and enjoy.

Hey I don't have my Tilt 2 yet so I can't test this but I cabbed up your changes. Maybe one of you with Tilt2 MEdia Net could test this sucker out? First make sure you are currently unable to tether and then install and soft reset to see if it fixed it. Report back!

Thanks for reporting back, removed the cab from my post. So yours is the correct key but it doesn't stick.... hmm. Sounds like flashing a custom rom might be the only way out unless you put a registry tweaking thing in startup.
I just tried this using AT&T Tilt 2 on the stock ROM and it worked.
I could not find any such key called "HKCU\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNETSHARING" so I ignored that part.
I changed HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\ForceCellConnection to "MEdia Net".
I reset the phone.
I tried to share through a USB connection, but it kept appearing on my computer as a hard drive despite selecting the option for Internet Sharing.
So instead I tried sharing through Bluetooth PAN. It was actually easier than it used to be on WM6.1. I selected Connect from the Internet Sharing program and it brought up a list of Bluetooth pairings. I selected my laptop (win7), which I had previously paired for ActiveSync purposes. The phone said "connecting to computer" and then "connecting to internet" and then it was done.
I accessed websites on my computer and refreshed to make sure it wasn't cached. I checked that my computer's wifi was disabled and that the phone's wifi was not on. Looks like it works.
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\ForceCellConnection to "MEdia Net"
and
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Status\Enabled to "1"
I changed HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\ForceCellConnection to "MEdia Net" and it worked. Thanks for the help.
Question...on the stock ROM, does the built-in connection use the wap.cingular connection or the isp.cingular?
I heard it was wrong to use isp.cingular. Should we create a new profile specifically for wap.cingular?

Doesn't sound like your ready to play with registry (no offense). Always know you can cripple Windows if your not careful. You have to open the "\\Plugins" folder at the top of the root dir of the phone and then select registry. Follow the given instruction from there. Again though, be careful.
Oh im sure im not.... I dont think ive messed with a registry since my Moto v620 years ago. My Tre0 750, just had every cab i ever needed already made.
If its not sticking though... i guess theres really know point till someone figures this thing out. I hate how AT&T blocks certain features....

======== (UPDATED 11-30-2009) ========
NOTE! -- THIS IS ONLY FOR AT&T CUSTOMERS
I have made a cab version of my fix so that mortscript isn't required. Simply install and restart your phone and your ready to go! (much easier instructions eh?)
That's it!
Works great on my end.... other than AT&T's terrible internet service.
I appreciate the time you took to write the scripts. Havnt figured if they stick though, but now that its easily changed back no worries.
Thanks man
