Can I have one connection for all internet apps? - Networking

Just upgrade to newest TMO ROM for a Universal, prior to that was using stock ROM and was able to get email and surf with one connection with this new ROM I have 2 connections 1.for email and 1.for internet. but now if I get a link in an email I have to disconnect the first connection; connect with the second connection just to look at the link? Is it possible to have it like I did before and have one connection for all internet activities? Without downgrading.
This new ROM has "push mail" don't know if that makes a difference?

I have no idea what configuration you actually have, but there is no reason you need separate connections on any ROM.
Its hard to tell without knowing the exact settings but try this:
Go in to Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Network selection
You will see two drop-down lists, select 'My ISP' in both of them.
This should get both your email and explorer to use the same connection.

ok, I'm using TMO pay-as-you-go with the cheap plan, it seems after I updated my ROM I had to create 2 connections 1. using a proxy server(PIE) and the other without a proxy server(email). Without the proxy server I can't use PIE and with the proxy server no emails; what i'm looking for is the happy median.
Device: 02 XDA UNI
ROM: latest TMO ROM
RADIO: 1.17
Thanks for the reply.

I'm trying to figure out this same problem. I'm running a tmobile WING with pdaviet's ROM ver 4.10.07.14 WWE Radio version 02.83.90 and have to use dual connections to access email and web. I'm using the T-Zones proxy for my internet connection.
T-Zones access point wap.voicestream.com
proxy server 216.155.165.50:8080
and
T-Mobile Data access point wap.voicestream.com
no proxy settings
It seems far fetched to think there may be a way to have one connection try to establish and bypass to the secondary if there's no connect. Maybe i'm just missing something here. Let me know if you have any ideas.

EzWAP Problems after upgrading to WM2003

I upgraded to WM2003 in Jeff's fabulous kitchen. Everything works great. My ISP has different access points for wap and www over gprs. It works with WM2002 very well but with WM2003 does not. What could be the possible problem? I guess WM2003 has more problems rather than advantages (if any, of course. I haven't discovered any, except for the character counter in sms message composer). This forced me to downgrade the ROM to Jeff's 3.17, which is perfect in all respects.
They say Pocket Internet Explorer can do WAP since WM2003. Haven't tested it, never use WAP.
wm2003 & WAP
The main problem is that PIE 2002 or 2003 don't understand wml. Yes, I tried with required access point & gateway but it just does not connect. The problem is that I really need to browse some wap info as these pages are not available on www suitable for xda.
Anyway, I am perfectly happy with Jeff's 3.17 ROM. I get WM, I get ezWap. Everything works very well.
One problem, though a little out of place. tdLaunch sometimes makes the Xda crash. It happens, be it in ROM or installed separately.
I think its yr configuration or yr ISP.
Ive been using EzWap and PIE to do wap extensively
on gprs with either PPC2002 or wm2003.

You are right!
Pocket PC phone version WM2003 has more problem than advantages in Pocket PC phone.
but I'm using IPAQ WM2003 no such problems at all!

You may be right about the isp. but they are not in a position to solve my problem. They have never heard of PPC, they don't know the difference in services provided, they don't know what are the configurations. All they know is to send the configuration by sms to the user's mobile phone, which is useless in case of xda.
However, I am sure PIE does not support wml. Can you tell me how do you make it understand wml?
Can you access these pages?
http://wap.yahoo.com.sg/
http://wap.ft.com/
http://mopilot.com/wml/index.wml
Because my PIE can
You should be able to browse any WAP site on the Internet through the Internet connection. However if your operator has both WAP and Internet connections then the WAP one will probably only allow you to browse their own WAP gateway site, and possibly other WAP sites through the WAP gateway.
In Pocket PC you cannot set the Internet Explorer to select which connection you will use. It defaults to the Internet setting. As you must define the WAP proxy using Work Settings, this is of no help to you.
The best solution is to create a new connection settings area, configure both Work And Internet locations to use it, and put all you connections in there. Then manually select Internet or WAP when you want to switch.

I have tried all the options, this one too. It does not work. I found use of EzWAP 2.5 more convenient, as it has it's own proxy/gateway configuration area. It does not depend on gateway config of connection manager. Further, it allows you to choose your nodcm connection.
What puzzles me the most is that EeWAP 2.1 or 2.5 did not work with Jeff's WM2003. It works with Jeff's ROMkitchcn 2002.

Internet over GPRS with O2 PayAndGo

I have an XDA1 and an o2 payandgo SIM. I have the GPRS activated and have no problem picking up my emails, but I can't use IE or MSMess. It tries to connect for a few minutes then times out. The connection details I have entered are as follows:
APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username: payandgo
P/W: password
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get IE and MSMess to work?
Excellent forum BTW, I've learnt loads in the last few days reading here...
Enable the proxy server setting in connection options and use:
193.113.200.195
You'll now be able to connect to HTML websites via Internet Explorer, but you'll not be able to use MSN Messenger via GPRS unfortunately.
seraphic, are you saying we can get full internet on O2 payg over gprs, I didnt think it was possible, I use the gsm to access the internet to use my 300 free minutes. If so can you give me the full settings.
Deke, what settings do you use to set up your pop 3 email over gprs.

Great, thanks. How do I do that? I've looked in the Connections bit, but the only reference I can find for proxy servers in under the 'Work network' section. Did I mention I'm using PPC2003?
Cruisin', I'll check my settings for you when I get home.
I'd be delighted if o2 payg did gprs,but 2 months ago they said no.I doubt if it's changed.
LMX, GPRS is definitely available on O2 P&G, I have it and use it daily for emails, it's the web-browsing I'm having trouble with.
You need to set up your GPRS settings under the work connections option so you can use a proxy.

Using the proxy server setting you can indeed view HTML sites over pay as you go GPRS. You can't use MSN Messenger, as it only allows access to port 80.
Cruisin',
Sorry for the delay in responding; here are the settings I use for email:-
First off you need to create a new account so that you have SMS, ActiveSync and eMail. Then run through the settings entering your details (all pretty straightforward stuff). The server info is dependent on whoever is your email server. I have a pop3 o2 account to make it easy, so the servers are mail.o2.co.uk (incoming) and smtp.o2.co.uk (outgoing).
Hope this helps.
Seraphic,
I'm fully webb'd up now, thanks a lot!
I have been told many times that it is possible for internet over gprs on O2 payg, I have tried every suggestion to the letter, I cannot do it, I can get wap over gprs, I can get internet over gsm. I was told by an O2 technician on this forum that it was not possible to get full internet over gprs with O2 payg sim. How can some people get it and others cant? I would be very grateful to see the full settings for the xda/xda 2 listed in a foolproof manner.
OK, full instructions:
* I recommend deleting any existing GPRS settings you have under the work connection settings before entering these to avoid confusion *
1. Go to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections.
2. You'll see 2 sets of option links. 'My ISP' and 'Work'. Under the work links, choose 'Add a new modem connection'.
3. Name for connection: o2 gprs. Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS). Tap Next.
4. Access Point Name: payandgo.o2.co.uk
5. Username: payandgo
6. Password: password
7. Tap Finish.
8. Back in the connections settings screen, tap 'Edit My Proxy Server'.
9. Tick 'This network connects to the Internet' and 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet'.
10. In the proxy server box enter: 193.113.200.195
11. Tap OK.
12. Back in the connections settings screen, tap the Advanced tab.
13. Tap 'Select Networks'
14. In both drop down boxes choose 'Work' as the connection. Tap OK.
15. Tap OK again.
16. You are now ready to surf o2 pay as you go gprs full internet.
That's what I did and it works well, but do bear in mind the O2 network is very tempremental; I've been trying to get a connection all day with no joy and I KNOW my settings are correct.
One thing I have noticed though, I can't pick up my emails anymore. It seems the outbox will only connect with an ISP connection and IE will only work with a work/proxy connection. Can I get over this somehow?
iT WORKS, IT WORKS, IT WORKS. :shock: :shock: :shock: :? 8) :lol: :wink:
Glad to hear it
Connection problems
I have just got an unlocked M1000 and I have been trying to set it up to allow me to connect to the internet using a pay as you go sim. I have followed the instructions above, but i just keep on getting errors of the page not being able to load. I know that the pages exist as I am just using big sites pages such as microsoft.com etc. at the moment. Anyone got any ideas on what the problem could be.
I think they blocked the port for internet over gprs.
Yes they have altered a lot of thinge recently. The trick to get html throught the wap portal was blocked & they also blocked all except wap on the GSM WAP dial up too. There is a different Mobile WEB GSM number but that is 40p a minute so GPRS would probably be cheaper.
Mobile Web on Pay and Go
Dingo mentions that there's another GSM number that's 40p a min to access mobile web....................does this mean I can actually get full HTML web access on my Pay and Go XDA ????? How (what's the number?)
I only need to surf HTML pages occasionally - so it's not worth going to contract .................
Thanks

help with outlook web access with new 8525 'test' rom

I am constantly getting logged out of outlook web access. I was seeing this before I loaded the new 2.06 (aku 3.3 radio 31) cing rom, but since I did I can't get in at all. works fine with wifi. anyone have experience with this that can help me? it is owa from exchange server 2003. I think if I call cingular I won't get much help, especially if they figure out i'm using the leaked rom.
I'm using wap.cingular apn without the proxy, and I have a mediamax plan. would a dataconnect plan fix this? it sounds like cingular only wants laptop cards on isp.cingular now.
thanks in advance,
wes
hmmm....
may have made a slight improvement. looked in the registry tweaks linked from the wiki,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
and removed the proxy autodetect key. then I selected 'media net' connection and made sure it isn't using the proxy, and it is working a little better now, I can get in for about a minute before having to log in again.
fyi, 'my isp' won't connect at all anymore, which is strange because it should be set up the same as 'media net' when the proxy isn't being used.....

T-Mobile US GPRS being wierd...only IE works

Hey all...so im using a little loop whole to use free tmobile internet via proxy settings...now i got the internet to work, but only IE works! i cant get online with any other program such has AIM, myweather app, or anything else, only IE goes online...anyone have this issue? or how to fix it? its driving me crazy!
could be they are blocking the ports used for such services
i dunno?...Live search is the other only program tht works online too...
i believe that it use port80 like browsers too
It uses port 8080, Using IM+ and setting the AIM port to 110 will allow you to connect, but remember it's only a few ports that are open and other programs might not have a setting to change ports for it to work with the Tzones proxy.
You can't (as yet) use 1 connection setting on the T-Mobile network using the T-Zones proxy workaround. I have been (tediously) using 2 connections.
(for internet)
T-Zones proxy
wap.voicestream.com
216.155.165.50:8080
(for mail)
T-Mobile Data
wap.voicestream.com
**no proxy settings**
I've been searching for a way to set up one connection to use which would automatically bypass and use a second connection if connectivity couldn't be established. No one seems to have an answer for this, but i'd love it if someone could figure it out!
I'm waiting as well...
I aked the same question and still waiting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340945
This happened after I flashed the latest TMO ROM, prior to that I had one connection for all my internet apps. Now my weather,and email don't need a proxy but PIE and Live search do what has changed?

GPRS settings for Suncom

Give this a try. It doesn't have the 8525 listed (of course). But I'm sure you can choose one of the other devices and the info should be somewhat standard.
gprs settings for suncom
I am using an HTC TyTn, it is very similar.
the settings that i haqve gotten to work after much trial and error are as follows.
make a new connection called "internet"
Cellular line GPRS

The wap version and port number are fixed on my phone. I have found that the port number is more inportant than the wap version.
I hope this helps.
