Need a hand from anyone with Cingular 8525 (Hermes) and registry viewer - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hello all,
I was making some tweaks for the pptp issues and accidentally deleted the ppp parms registry keys (that's why I'm a network guy and not a programmer!).
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Ppp\Parms are the values I need. Thanks for any help you can lend. I looked at the MS Documentation but none of the default values they list look like the keys that were originally in here.
I have made a little progress with the connectivity issues with the pptp client to non-microsoft servers. If I ever get it completely working to my satisfaction I will certainly post...
Thanks!

Value:
DHCPTimeoutMs
Value:
1000 (Decimal)

8525 PIE / Messenger / Hotmail and GPRS

A couple of days ago with the help of several people postings in this forum I was able to unlock my 8525. But I just realized that PIE stalls for ever opening any page and also the sign in for MS Messenger and Hotmail are impossible with GPRS. My Gmail account is set to retreive email every 15min thru GPRS and is working very different compared on how it works in the 8125 as well with a Qtek 8500. The 3 applications work as a clock during WiFi connections but once I use GPRS simply they don´t work at all. I have an 8125 with he same settings as my 8525 and GPRS and the aforementioned applications work great thru GPRS. Does anybody has a clue on what possible is going wrong?
I have the same problem as you...
can not connect to messenger using gprs... and I'm also in Mexico (monterrey)
Maybe it could be because of the carrier... what company are you using to have gprs service??
Please KINDLY HELP with Project
After 5 or 6 months I decided to rescue my Hermes from the junk box, I was hopping that WM6 would help in data connection problem but unfortunely it didn´t! Then I decided to start a project to investigate the cause of this problem, the first step in the project was a registry key comparison on the same device under 2 different networks (Network "A" where data connection is impossible & Network "B" where data connection is excellent). The first finding was on the reg key:
HKLM\Comm\Cellular Line\Parms\Tcpip
Network "A" registry shows values of 10.11.12.13 and 10.11.12.14 for WINS and Network "B" doesn´t even show this key.
Please help me (and to many others with similar problem) and provide:
1.- Your network name
2.- YES / NO (Your server assign DNS and WINS addresses)
3.- YES / NO (If answer to #2 was YES, please indicate if you see address values for WINS in your registry)
Thanks a lot
Network A
1. Movistar Panama
2. Yes 200.39.10.1
3. No

How to change user-agent for PIE in AKU 3.3

Hi
I've been trying to change the user-agent for PIE on my JasJam flashed with an AKU 3.3 ROM (South African Qtek).
On the previous version (AKU 2.2) I would be able to change the user agent by changing those keys in the registry:
for example:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Templates\Same as Pocket PC]
"Platform"="Windows CE; i-mate JASJAM V2 PPC; 240x320"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform]
"i-mate JASJAM V2 PPC; 240x320"=""
This doesn't seem to work anymore, user-agent (as checked with www.useragentstring.com) always return:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 6.8)
I've tried locating all occurences for Mozilla/4.0 in the registry, change them but with no effect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
JY
Funny on how you could search for hours, and it's only a few minutes after you post a question that you find the answer:
The user-agent string in AKU 3.3 is located at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]
"Custom"="PPC; 240x320; HTC_TyTN/1.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1"
What were you trying to do by changing the UA? AKU 3.3+ doesn't send the changed UA anymore.
We had been discussing this in several threads already, but the solution created some problems with SMS/e-mail or Favorites in PIE.

Without the proper user-agent (so it reports to be an i-mate JasJam), I can not use the wap web site from my mobile company (Telstra).
AKU 3.3 certainly do not use the same registry keys as earlier version, but I was able to modify the user-agent as mentioned in my previous post.
I will see if it creates problem with SMS as you mentioned.
JY
No problem with SMS after changing that registry key
It works fine...
And I get exactly the user-agent I want.
I'm surprised this wasn't found earlier...
JY
What did you change the UA to?
I tried your registry setting, but it did not work with Cingular Video (changing to LG-CU500). The fix that I was talking about replaced two files. That fix is still buggy, but allows Cingular Video and the Planet3 equivalent in Europe to work.

In [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]
I changed:
"Custom"="PPC; 240x320; HTC_TyTN/1.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1"
into:
"Custom"="i-mate JASJAM V2 PPC; 240x320; HTC_TyTN/1.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1"
As the JASJAM V2 bit is what is being checked by the telstra wap site.
I don't know what you need to change it into so it works on your network.
You can control which user-agent is sent with this web site: http://www.useragentstring.com
Make sure after changing the registry that you kill IE, so it will reload the registry content
Ah, ok. We have different needs then. To get the videos from Planet3 and Cingular working, we need to change the Mozilla/4.0 part, not the stuff after that.

I think it would be worth playing with that key though, because it definitely has an effect on the user-agent string used by IE...

If you want to change the User Agent String for AKU3.3+ or WM6 you have to edit the browser.dll from Windows directory on Hermes. You must take a dumped browser.dll, because the file can't be copied outside Windows-dir.
Open browser.dll with Hex Editor and search for Mozilla/4.0
You can change Mozilla/4.0 into anything else you want,
e.g.
Mozilla/4.0 (11 signs) into
Palm750/v000 (11 signs)
It won't work for some reason if more signs added, but maybe somebody knows what i do wrong.
[I once changed the things after Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.1;...) and then the Registry Setting worked again in HKLM\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent\Custom and this Registry Setting replaces the User Agent in the browser.dll (maybe the %d after Mozilla/4.0? causes the fixed User Agent sending from browser.dll??). But no access with correct sent User Agent from registry. Strange. With Hex-Editor-Mod it lets me access, with exactly the same User Agent prooved with www.fiddlertool/useragent.aspx ]
Works fine then (tested on Hermes)
I added a dumped browser.dll in browser.zip, but i can't say if it will work on your ROM too. If not, simply delete it again, it will be replaced with original browser.dll from ROM.
For all 3 Austria Users with AKU3.3 or WM6 installed: Simply copy the file from browserUA-3AT 240x320.zip to Windows-directory.
No need to change registry anymore.

great to here good job, thanks
Nice work, PAPPL! Thank you
Here is the CAB for the Browser.dll for Cingular Video to work in PIE in WM6 or WM5 Aku 3 ROMs. It reports UA of LG-CU500. Blackjack or Samsung A707 UA strings (the other very popular CV devices) have UA's that are longer than 11 digits so the HEx edit wont work.
Also here is a RealPlayer CAB with the browser UA fix autoinstall!

Thanks for the RealPlayer!
Curious. Tried the wpbear cabs on my factory unlocked HTC branded Trinity P3600 (I know this is a Hermes thread, so please excuse me crashing in. Thought the phones might be similar enough this could get me Cingular Video). Followed the intructions exactly. Strangely, after installation I could no longer even launch Pocket IE. Got a message saying application had the wrong signature or something similar. It was easy enough to uninstall the cabs so it didn't hurt to try. Even aside from this I am have been a bit puzzled that I can't get to the MEdia Net home page, not that this is any great loss. I assume it suggests my phone is not set up to play with the wap.cingular proxy fully. My Internet access seems unrestricted however which is the main thing!
The proxy is wireless.cingular.com:80 ! wap.cingular is the access point (AP). If you have wap.cingular as the proxy, you will not be able to use the Cingular medianet/video pages.

Thank you so much chenga! Finally I have the proxy set up right to get at the MEdia Net home page. Actually, I had seen those settings mentioned before but I had quite figured out how to enter them correctly until now.
The main problem was probably just my stupidity and ignorance, but I have also come up with a feasible sounding explantation as to why I got confused so I can try to feel less silly!
In case this helps anyone else, the thing that had truly been throwing me off is in my the Connections preferences there are are two sets of preferences as per Windows Mobile default. One has the default name "My ISP" and the other is "My Work Network".
The "My Work Network" is the one which has the option to enter the proxy and well as an APN (It also has the VPN settings options, although that is not applicable in this instance) I think my confusion is because I just switched to Cingy from T-Mo and with them the "My Work Network" settings would probably (I think..but may be wrong) only be used if you had a business plan and need to VPN in past your workplace firewall to get at an Enterprise server of some variety or other (No longer needed with Direct Push over http though)
The "My ISP" settings area has no option to enter a proxy (at least on my device). Solution, use "My Work Network" set it all up as needed and rename it to something relevent e.g. Cingular Proxy.
I suppose I was also thinking way back to my old, old Palm OS Treo days when any proxy option was accessed through its web browser.
I notice that the while use the proxy adds the MEdia Net specific features, it appears from my cursory testing to block SMTP, POP and IMAP. Curiously, it does allow transfers using an FTP client.
Still this is great. I can still use wap.cingular without a proxy for the most part and then just change the connection to use the proxy to get at MEdia Net stuff when desired. Best of both worlds really. Thanks again!
Sorry to bump the thread. I was examing the settings in the Cingular WAP Setup CAB (link earlier in thread) and noticed that it changes the DNS servers to those offered by the free OpenDNS service.
(For anyone new to DNS, it is the way that a human readable Internet address e.g. www.example.com. gets turned into an actual numercial address which a device can really use to find something on the Internet.)
Nothing wrong with that, but it worth noting as that comes down to personal taste. One can always change the DNS servers in the Connection settings at any time. Leave them blank to use Cingular's DNS servers.
My limited experience of the OpenDNS servers is that they are very fast, though can occaisionaly be a bit inconsisitent. They do also filter addresses, mostly in a helpful. e.g. they try to correct obvious typos into a real address (like changing example.coooommmm into example.com) and they also block known phishing sites (fake sites that try to steal personal information). If you type in a web address that cannot be found the OpenDNS server will present you with a suggestions page along with some sponsored links. Doesn't seem to be anything underhand, the page clearly declares itself. But if you use the CAB above and didn't happen to know about OpenDNS you might end up wondering why you end up looking at their page occaisionally.
Edit: Oops, silly me. The post with the originally CAB did already say it uses the OpenDNS servers. (Yes, I know, it really is about time I learned to fully read everything before I post!) Still, perhaps the extra extra details may be helpful to someone anyway.

True, that was stated when I posted that cab. If you are on Cingular you really need a better DNS, theirs suck.

Proxy data

Hello,
I have a problem with my P3600. I need to use a proxy-setting when I connect to my office network via WiFi. I have the necessary data (i.e. IP address and port number) and it works flawlessly on my old HTC Wizard. However, on my new P3600 the http proxy data keep disappearing each time I leave the settings and connect to the network. The connection is apparently fine but I cannot get any data through.
Regardless how I enter the data, they are gone the next time I check. By the way, it appears that (at least under some circumstances) the SOCKs proxy data are remembered!???
I have tried all combinations of settings I can think of and I am slowly suspecting that something is wrong with the phone. Nevertheless, I've noticed that other people have had similar problems. Unfortunately I've seen no solution yet.
At home, where I use no proxy, everything works fine.
I assume that the P3600 simply "forgets" (doesn't save and doesn't use) the http proxy data and that this is the reason for my problems. But why does that happen? As said, it works well on my old HTC Wizard when I enter the same data in the same places.
This problem is highly annoying, so any help would be highly appreciated.
Fyi, I am using the generic German version HTC P3600 in German language.
Hi,
am I really the only one in here having this problem? Someone here claims, it is a known bug: http://www.mobileplanet.com/ft.aspx?k=99497&page=1
Is it likely that the problem will be solved if I flash a WM6?
Anyway, isn't there a kind of work-around for this problem in WM5/P3600? If people can port and cook a WM6 from another device and do complicated programs etc., I would assume that fixing the proxy-problem with some sort of patch should be relatively easy. But of course, if one doesn't have the problem himself, one doesn't have much motivation to look at it (I am not complaining, but unfortunately I neither have the time nor the skills for solving the problem myself).

A big problem for me
In my company, we use proxy , I can´t use my super P3600 because it don´t remenber the Proxy. Incredible!!
WM5 Spanis version.
There are some one with WM6 that can confirm if it works with that version.?
Thanks
There is a solution -Kinda!
I have found that if there are two networks, ie one for your GPRS and the second for your "My Work Network" then it remembers your proxy settings This is as close as I have got to a solution.
Cheers
The problem has been SOLVED!
Dear all,
As pointed out above, it appears that the Trinity cannot save/use http proxy data as long as there is no other connection defined. I can now confirm that if you define (even a fake) connection to, say, a GPRS provider, the P3600 will remember your proxy data in the WiFi setting. Weird, but it works ;-)
Thank you so much for this hint.
Best regards,
>V<
Found another solution
Hi,
I tried the solution proposed, creating a fake connection, and sometimes it worked, but others no.
I have found what happens: Activesync changes one registry key, the corresponding to the Work connection via http, in my case:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}\HTTP-{18AD9FBD-F716-ACB6-FD8A-1965DB95B814}]
"Type"=dword:00000001
from 1 to 0, and with this value the PDA doesn't read correctly another value:
"Proxy"="my.proxy.server:3128"
although it is correctly informed.
The solution I have implemented is to execute a script (made with SKschema, which I use for another automatisations), that changes this value after a sync has been finished. This is automatically done creating a notification with Memmaid.
Now after the first unsuccessfull sync, the key is updated and it works like a charm.
You DID it!
I could confirmed that by changing the type from 0 to 1 did the trick as mentioned by Rodaldfa! It works immediately after modification! Type=0 means "disable this proxy" and Type=1 means "Http proxy".
However, I don't think it's Activesync which reset this value to 0. I had done various times of AS after setting the Type=1 with regedit, and it always maintain Type=1. But if I enter then exit the comm manager, it resets the Type=0 on exit.
The procedure is to set all proxy info (include passwd...) then exit Comm Manager (CM), then use any regedit to modify the Type value. Then NEVER go back to CM afterward...
Thus, I suggest modify type to 1 then avoid entering CM. AS works just fine for me...

Working with the RIL for Cell Tower IDs (Google Maps "My Location", PhoneAlarm, etc)

Working with the RIL for Cell Tower IDs (Google Maps "My Location", PhoneAlarm, etc)
Ladies and Gents,
I'd like to try and understand a bit more about how the RIL handles Cell Tower IDs in Windows Mobile.
I have two WinMo 6.1 phones, 1 HP iPaq RW6828 (O2 Atom rebadge) and 1 HTC S710 (Vox) Smartphone.
The iPaq is using WM6.1 OS 5.2.19400 build 19400 from NHOCBANME
The S710 is using WM6.1 Standard 5.2.19195 build 19202 from Dr Martin Gonzo
The S710 fully supports both the Google Maps "My Location" feature and PhoneAlarm's Location-based profile switching, but the Atom does not support either.
I've partially figured out some of the the details to recognise the Cell IDs - I've managed to get PhoneAlarm to log the Cell Tower IDs and facilitate Location-based switching (yay!).
However it came at the cost of disabling all GSM Data connections. It would attempt a connection but then time-out after a few minutes without connecting.
So here's what I've been looking at:
MSDN: Radio Interface Layer
Particularly:
RIL Registry Settings
Specifically the "Packet" value:
The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Cellular\RIL registry key configures the connection mode and number of concurrent connections used by Radio Interface Layer. The following table shows the named values.
Value:
Packet : REG_DWORD
Description:
Specifies the connection mode used by GPRS connections. When set to 0, a RAS-based connection is used. When set to a value greater than or equal to 1, NDIS GPRS is used.
By default, this registry key does not exist. To enable RIL NDIS packet APIs, this registry key must be [created manually or] added to Cellcore.reg.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By default in the iPaq the Packet key does not exist and the Contexts value is set to 2.
By comparison, the S710 has the Packet value set to 1 and Contexts set to 3.
Creating a Packet key and setting the value to 1 allows the PhoneAlarm location log to successfully log the Cell Tower IDs, however (as previously mentioned) the GPRS data connection fails to connect.
Setting the Packet value to 0 re-enables the data connection but disables the Cell Tower logging.
Chaning the iPaq Contexts value to 3 to match the S710 makes no difference either.
Does anyone have any further thoughts that may help get both Cell tower IDs and GPRS working together?
Many thanks
Tim

Hi,
Have you found any solution I having the same problem.

MMS pictures Shrinking in size when downloaded??

I had same problem with HTC Touch Pro
Solution was
There was one guy who had this problem over at esato and he fixed it. This is hidden in a rather long genieric thread so i'll just copy his post here...
"Basically, it has something to do with the phone not being set up, or directing to the correct 'profile' with the network operator. For example, my settings were directing to the Taiwan HTC website for some reason. Because O2 didn't have these settings, it was defaulting the MMS settings to how they were when MMS was first introduced.
The solution is basically using a program like PHM Registry Editor to change the profile, so it directs to the correct details. However, as there aren't any specific Xperia ones yet, you can have it use those of another phone. In my case, I have used the N95 settings, as these are ones set up on O2.
So, in the reg editor you need to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software - Arcsoft MMS UA - Config - mm1 - WspHeader
There will be 6 strings in this part of the registry. You just need to edit the 'User-Agent' profile to:
NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
And the 'Profile' string to:
http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml
You don't need to reboot. And that should get the pics coming through at the correct size.
Hope this helps if anyone is having the same problem."
