On a PC, you can go to http://wap.oa.yahoo.com, and login to your yahoo account to read your emails, etc.
If I do the same from my XDA2, it says "Unable to connect: Ensure that your modems are present and inserted correctly, and no network card present".
If I try this with any other web site (e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk) it connects and works fine.
Does anyone else get this, and does anyone know a way around it?
Thanks!
On my XDA, http://wap.oa.yahoo.com works fine.
But WAP stinks on a capable device like the XDA or XDAII. Why not use http://www.yahoo.com instead, or set up your Inbox to download your Yahoo headers and/or messages?
can i realy do that?? setup INBOX for yahoooo???
please show me how! i couldnt even set the outlook express on PC to do that!
thanks a million.

You can only do this if you pay extra for POP3 access to Yahoo emails - which I don't want to do as this isn't my primary email account.
Also, going through http://www.yahoo.com means you get all the ads, graphics, etc. Even over a GPRS line, this makes it quite painfull.

I just got a new XDA II and I could access Yahoo without problems. After an involutary hard reset all the O2 stuff got installed (seems it was not installed the first time I used the device), and now I'm having the same problem as you're describing. Has O2 added something "clever" so that if it sees "wap" in the path, it thinks it should use a wap connection? In any case I can't find these settings and delete it. I want it to work as it did before the hard reset! Help!
Try wsp://wap.oa.yahoo.com insted of http://wap.oa.yahoo.com
HTTP = PC
WSP = WAP

cheers
WSP doesn't work either. Probably because that signals even more to the computer that you're trying to establish a WAP connection, which I don't want to do and which isn't set up either. The funny thing is that it worked before the hard reset, and I never had any problems on my old XDA I.
I managed to remove all the O2 stuff from the extended ROM, and after a hard reset, I can now access http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail again! Once you access http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail, the path changes to http://wap.oa... and from this point on it complained. Until I removed the O2 stuff. So now I'm happy it works, but I'd still like to know what settings O2 infiltrated to stop it from working. Does anyone have a clue?

I think it have something to do with Connection settings and or Registery settings for Browser ID string (User ID String)
example:
Of youre browser ID is "Mozilla/4.0(compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; PPC; 240x320)" Than you w'll get a diffrent page if you have something else.
After I changed my Browser ID (to see more free stuff from orange GRPS/Orange World) I cant get the colored page of Yahoo Too.
Can you post here youre Browser ID please?
To see youre browser ID string, Visit http://www.showip.com on youre PPC, and let me know please.
Cheers
I just bought an XDA2i and am having the same problem with the mobile Yahoo site. Since nobody has managed to unlock the extended ROM in XDA2i yet , I cannot remove the O2 stuff that is causing the problem (forcing a different connection for web adresses starting with "wap"). On my XDA2 i could unlock the extended ROM and remove the O2 bits, and this solved the problem. With XDA2i I'm stuck...
Enough is enough.
I had the same **** with my old PDA2K and now again with the Exec... I've spent 20 hours thus far on that ****. I just hard reset my machine yesterday and now again this **** happens and I cannot fix it.
I am surfing using UMTS/GPRS.. My definitions are FINE. There's only one connection. It was always fine that way on both the pda2k and the new exec.. but it stopped working now... it could be that some program messed up this ****, but i wouldn't know which.
Trying to browse to a site.. I get PIE saying 'Locating..." then after a minute or so saying "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded blah blah blah"... But the 3GUMTS is connected just fine.. Note that MSN Messenger doesn't work as well (I think that's because it's uses the core engine the PIE uses). Strangely, using networking utilities (vx) I can ping with the machine and even get HTML pages using web addresses. So the problem is not DNS and not a connection problem.. Just probably some damn problem with the operating system not recognizing something.. The 3rd party vxutilities for networking are bypassing that **** hence why they can browse the network just fine.
Tried deleting temp internet files and cookies nada... I also tried soft reset (about 20 times).. nada.... tried deleting the connection and recreating... nada... tried searchiong the registry for my connection name after deleted to see if traces exists.. nada...
Getting tired of this ****.. only hardreset solved it last time and i'm getting sick of becoming the machine's slave rather then the machine being my slave.
Help would be grately apprecaited..... I am sure it's ****ed up registry entry or something like that... I don't have many programs isntalled on my machine as I just hard reseted yesterday and my machine is in rather clean condition except for must have apps.
Help...SOS..

Thanks for trying to help...
but that's not the issue.. it's wwaayy deeper than that... ( i would have found it after 20 hours of trying had it been this easy ...
No proxy whatsoever. I never used Wifi. No work setup.. only "My ISP Setup".
anybody else? I'm offering $20 by paypal for the kind soul who can help stop my frustration WITHOUT hardresetting my machine or doing drastic moves. I need a permanent solution. If I solve it before so.. I will post my fix here...
UPDATE:
It's working now, though I don't like the solution, I changed in 'Connections' to connect through 'My Work Network' although I don't actually have any work network and I'm using it the same way I used the "My ISP" connection. It may stop working again though. i'll update.. but I still don't get it why the normal My ISP which always worked stopped working.

Now only that i cannot use PIE, I cannot use Terminal Server as well.. which is a bummer

Have ever try to remove check box of proxy in network tab? With mine it works.
proxy issue
I noticed the same thing on my wizard, I think it may be caused by an internet explorer automatic configuration script. When I manually provide the ip address and port number of the proxy server, the problem does not appear. I changed this in Internet Explorer running on my PC and in the Work connection on my phone. I have also changed the setting in Active Sync to choose the Work Network setting by default instead of automatic.
The only way I got Internet Explorer back to work was after a hard reset.
It did not happen again in the past 1,5 week. I have been restoring the same backup after each of these hardresets so I had an identical install everytime. It seems to be fine now.
I don't know how WM5 handles Active Directory policies (if it handles them at all) that may change your IE settings as well.

"Check your proxy server info (in connections).

My wizard does the same, it will work for a week or so and try using some random proxy for no reason!
I just uncheck the proxy tick box and the wifi connection works great with internet explorer. (well usually I tear my hear out for 5 mins and then realise its the proxy!)

PIE stuck at Locating
Hi mobiler,
I hope you have found a more permanent solution to your problem. I own an MDA Pro with TMobile UK and recently bacame plagued with the same symptoms which you reported, i.e., pocket explorer and opera mobile stuck at locating and not able to browse the web. Through some helpful suggestions on this thread I managed to find a solution which you may or may not have already tried. Like most people, I use my MDA pro at home on my home wireless Wifi network, and while away at work I use its GPRS/UMTS capabilities. I had no reason to think that these two features of the MDA Pro had any interactions with each other. In fact, I seem to remember reading somewhere that separate pieces of internal hardware provide these features. However, to my surprise/dismay I discovered that somehow the Wifi and GPRS/UMTS settings on the MDA pro are linked together. For example, if you setup a proxy server in the GPRS modem settings, which I recently did, without notifying you the Wifi connection also tries to use the same proxy setting. Vice versa if you setup a specific IP address and Gateway in your Wifi settings the GPRS modem connection also tries to use those settings and failing. The solution for getting back to normal internet browsing was to remove the proxy in modem connection by using its automatic settings ,and to tick the server assigned IP address for Wifi. This is a less than satisfactory solution, however, at least things are back to where they were before. I remain very puzzled at the interaction between these features and am dismayed and frustrated that there is nothing in the step by step procedures in each setting that warn you about a possible impact on the other.

That is odd. I think the only thing that would do that is if you installed something new. But you already said, you did not install anything. My only recommendation is try to uninstall any programs of yours that requires internet access one at a time and see if it will restore PIE functions. One of them might be the culprit. Always perform a soft reset after each uninstall then test PIE. Because if you don't find out which application is causing the coflict with PIE, it does not matter if you do a hard reset and install everything from the start, because you are not getting rid of the problem by doing it that way you might encounter the same problem in the future.
Give us a list of all your installed applications and where you installed them, to the SD Card, Ext ROM, or Main Memory. Someone from this site might recognize something. Sorry if I did not help.
Hello, have you tried using opera or some other browser?
Are you connecting through 3G/GPRS or via activesync/wi-fi - and if so does it work the other way?
How about your connection settings - e.g. VPN's, modems wich network connects to work, which to internet.
Do you have any sites IP addresses in your exceptions list?
If you are at work can you connect to any directories on your file server, or any intranet sites?
Cheers
ok opera works but i dont want to pay for it, lol will try the uninstalling of apps, but i have it in my head that it could have started on the first, im on o2 and their free gprs ended on the 31st march, but then the fact that everything else is working kinda rules that out, i have went through my device connection settings, i am gona put it down to either a registry setting has changed sumhow by either sumthing i did or by sumthing an app did, or its a conflict with another app, thanks for ur support guys, will try out the sugestions tonite, thanks
Hi,
I have setup Direct Push on our Exchange servers and setup my Qtek 9100 to DirectPush from it.
I recieve the folder structure
It tells me how many emails need downloading
I can SEND emails
But it doesnt bring any emails down!!
Can anyone help??
Email
I seem to be having this EXACT same issue. I cannot figure out what is failing.
Hmmm.. I am not at all sure, but I have an idea. If you go to activesync on the phone, and then go to configure server (under the menu right softkey), and then hit next and next again, you should see the screen with the things you are syncing... contacts/calendar/email/taskes, ect... If you then click on email, the settings button sould un-grey. Click settings. Change "Include the previous" and "limit email size" to "all", and then hit the "ok" in the upper right corner, and then finish. Hit the left softkey for sync, and it should get all of your email from the server... I have no way of knowing if this is indeed your problem, but I thought it may be worth a try... I would be interested to know if it works!
I have seen someone with exactly the same problem which I couldn't solve.
Are you by any chance running Microsoft SmallBusinessServer 2003 and Microsoft ISA 2004 :?:
Eman
We are running ISA Server...
Does everyone have this problem with Qtek or is it universal? I was going to try update ROM because you cant change account settings once you put them in, they grey out! But the ROM on Qtek seems a lower number than that I have installed... and Im not entirely sure what a ROM update does.
I have selected ALL on everything, just the number of emails to download increases... say 500 it displays 0/500 then 125/500 then disappears, still no email or anything!!
Just tried updating ActiveSync to 4.2 on a HP 6915...
Same problem...!!
HELP
Issues
Ok, here is what I've learned (which isn't much) so far:
I'm using a T-Mobile MDA with the stock firmware. I am trying to connect to Exchange Server 2003. I've seen the server options grey out as well, but the trick I've used is to configure the server options in Active Sync on the pc you have it connected to. The Windows Mobile version of Active Sync doesn't seem to play as nice at times.
Starcruzier--
Thanks for the suggestion, but I have tried that as well. I actually went through the same steps with a T-Mobile SDA on trial as well. When I do the steps that you outlined on both devices, I actually pull down all the mail...but I get no new messages as they come (and I did configure the SMS to send "As they arrive".
I'm starting to think this is more of an issue with either Active Sync, Exchange, or how T-Mobile handles push email from Exchange.
I honestly dunno about qtec, I have a T-mobile MDA. I am running rom version 2.26.10.WWE (just upgraded...) and I am using the Microsoft Direct Push (no SMS required... ) What rom are you using, and are you using the direct push or the SMS method (as I believe they work differently...) You can get the rom I have from a link in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=57554
although it is customized for T-mobile....
Question
I have a T-Mobile MDA as well. Star...did you get push email working with the stock ROM on the device?
Nope, when I got it push email was not supported by the default rom, and so I upgraded. I recently got a new one because the old one broke, but I believe that I upgraded this one before I tried to setup the push, so I dunno if it is supported by the default rom, or how well this works... hope this helps...

That's easy to find out - in ActiveSync on the device, set the schedule to "as items arrive". If you've got AKU2 on the device, it should NOT ask you for a unique device address.
You can also make sure by going into settings > system > about; my OS shows as "OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0). Afaik, that means I have AKU 2.3 on the device. You need at least AKU 2 for DirectPush to work. Oh, and Exchange 2003 SP2 on the server.
Did everyone else just setup DirectPush and recieve emails straight away, or is it just me with the problem?
Does ISA effect it??

If you get the folder structure, ISA should not be the problem. And yes, DirectPush works right away; if you have AKU 2.x on the device and when connecting to the server it determines that the server supports DirectPush, it should work at once.
Of course, DirectPush can be disabled in the Exchange System Administrator console. That would explain the effects you are experiencing.
Do you mean the tickbox 'Enable DirectPush' in Exchange Manager?
This is enabled on the Front End and main Exchange servers..

Yes, that's the one I meant. Did you increase the timeout on the ISA server to 1800 seconds (30 minutes)? Does it work with other Windows Mobile devices? Does your mobile operator maybe not support persistent connections?
I have just set this for Outgoing and Incoming to 1800.
Tried my PDA and it still does the same thing, shows me how many it needs to download (which is nice) and then decides not to download them.
Vodafone (provider) tell me as long as Internet APN is active, which it is, it should be fine.

Somewhere in ActiveSync, you can set the debug level to "verbose". Does it tell you any more when you set it that way? Also, on the backend Exchange Server (where your mailbox resides), check the entries in the IIS Log (%systemroot%\system32\Logfiles\w3svc1\exYYMMDD.log - assuming it runs in the default Web Site, else w3svc1 will be something else). Do you have IIS Lockdown installed on the server? What happens if you sync manually, does that work? In the settings of the user (Active Directory Users and Computers), are the Exchange features pertaining to Active Sync activated?
I have set this to Verbose, cant see any effects of it though..?
If I sync manually, it tells me what there is to download, doesnt download them, then goes again and does 0/1 on everything. And ends seemingly normal bringing nothing down.
I have lots of log entries relating to the GET and PROPFIND from ActiveSync in the log but I cant see anything displaying a problem.. everything seems to be communicating but just not bringing down the emails..
User Enabled Syncronisation is set against the user on AD.

After enabling verbose and trying one sync, what does it show when you hit "view status" in ActiveSync? Also, is it possible that you have policies in Exchange 2003 in place and your device is not compliant (e.g. no/too short password)?
Ive tried Verbose and no error is displayed, everything ends normal on Sync.
It is strange that you can send emails from the device no problems, so I assume the device is compliant. I have tried a HP PDA and have the same problem.
I so was looking forward to having a comfortable way of managing my hotmail/live mailbox with the switch to HD2 with Winmo and MS Live integration.
However, when attempting to sync my hotmail on the device I get a box saying "Failed to Synchronize the Folder List" followed by another box saying "Failed to Sync".
From there I found nothing to do other than resetting the device. It then works fine for a couple of hours or maybe half a day if lucky until problem re-occurs.
Have tried everything I could think of including re-installing Win Live, changing synch schedules, disabling auto sync all toghether and go manual, empty/remove/reload my hotmail inbox and folder list, trying to find "bad" email items etc.. Nothing helped so far.
Am I the only user with this issue?
My device: HD2 UK, Rom ver 1.43.405.1, OS Ver 5.2.21864, Win Live ver 10.7.0057.0802 (I try to install v10.9 from Marketpllace but end up having this ver number every time)
If you are on T- mobile it maybe like me you have a problem using some service through their proxy server. To remedy go to
settings/menu/connections/manage existing connections/proxy settings tab/remove the tick in the "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"box - OK out of all this and hopefully you should be good to go.
Thanks for the tip. I'm not on T-Mob but will look into proxy being the possible issue.
I'm trying remove Win Live V10.7 completely and replace with v10.9 which seems to be the latest version. Upgrade seems not taking effect on my device though. thinking perhaps this is resolved in Win Live V10.9? Will report back...
Also wondering if Rom v1.48 provides a fix to this. I haven't upgraded yet. any 1.48 users out there experiencing this problem?
My carrier is useless when asked about this and I haven't bothered speaking to HTC yet but may give it a try.
Did you setup manually? This is the only way I can get the connection to my hotmail...
Use pop3.live.com
smtp.live.com
Yea I have tried setting up hotmail as POP3 but you lose some things by doing that such as read/unread is not synced and deleting on both device and server seems not working. I'm still looking for a solution to get Win Live working error free. So far no luck, still trying....
On Tmobile, worked for me!
Glad I found this thread. I am on Tmobile and was stumped when trying to set up my hotmail. Everytime I'd get to step 4 of 5 and it would fail to sync. Then I followed the advice from CAH000 to delete the proxy server and it worked first time! Woo hoo!

Im also on Vodafone and Ive had issues since marketplace suggested i download WLM 11.1. Since then ive been unable to sync my hotmail accounts. Tried to set it up manually and using WLM. No joy.
Proxy setting isnt ticked either. Its so frustrating!
Unfortunately have to confirm that ROM 1.66 does not fix this issue. The problem is back here. Perhaps radio ver 2.07 makes a difference? Haven't tried yet. Also digging into the registry looking for possible solutions. Getting fed up by all these issues I must admit and it's not small stuff...
Same problem here with the Danish stock 1.66 ROM.
First I thought it was because I installed the new version of Live from wl.windowsmobile.com, but that does not seem to be the problem
Is anyone with this issue running on radio version 2.07?
Same issue with 2.08
The problem happens when you upgrade to new version of WL from Marketplace.. If you have the old WL which came with stock rom or even 1.66. It works fine, but that MSN is old and is not that finger friendly than the newer ones. I just thought this problem would have been solved with the latest one and it isnt, and now i can uninstall and go back to the old one, have to hard reset
same problem
is there possible to uninstall wlm to install an older version ?
Older version of WLM didn't resolve this for me. Still got the issue. From the lack of interest/replies to this thread I guess only a very few users have this issue? It sucks, I'm pretty fed up with this (and a bunch of other issues).
Does Android offer a decent integration with hotmail? Does anyone know how Hotmail swings with Android? I see myself giving up on Winmo although I don't like to admit it...
