I have a TyTN (originally ATT 8525 flashed to vanilla WM6.0) that I gave my wife a while ago. She had the T-Zones 5.99 internet up and running just fine a few months back, but wasn't really using it so we dropped the plan. We still used WiFi a bit, so I disabled the T-Mo connection. Now, I'm using the phone for myself and want to get T-Zones back, so I used Lurch's connection installer. When I try to use an Internet app (like PIE), I see that it's connecting, then it thinks for a while, and pulls up a HTTP ERROR: $CODE$. At first, it didn't have the proxy set up (I forgot that Lurch didn't do that, I guess), but even after fixing it and soft resetting, I get the same problem. Is there maybe something wrong with the proxy or some such?

Actually, I tried that just before you posted, and it *did* fix my PIE issues. Unfortunately, I don't think Gmail IMAP is working, but I don't have my phone handy to double-check. I believe only traffic to/from port 80 (and maybe 8080?) is allowed, so secure IMAP probably won't ever work, right? It doesn't bug me too much -- since it's Gmail, I can always just use the browser (now that I have EDGE, that is).
i had gmail pop setup and working a couple months back.. now i cannot get it to work either
The connection should be set to work under Tmo Data and work to internet under proxy - and to work as prefersed connection under the e-mail account.
if you go to google and your account settings there is a tutorial under imap settings that will have you reconfigure your email settings on your phone manually. it fixed mine immediately.

Just thought I'd ask if anyone has any suggestions on this problem.
I just came here today from PocketPCPassion's forum, read some of the WM2003 posts, and decided to give it a shot. I first installed the xda developers ROM 1.2, then installed the WM2003 update (the .zip from the FTP server posted here as an IP address, login xda/xda).
(This is a T-Mobile device BTW).
I created a GPRS connection using internet2.voicestream.com as usual, and it connects just fine. However, attempts to browse with PIE result in "The page you are looking for cannot be found" errors. I've even tried browsing by IP address in case of DNS problems, no difference.
However, I set up a POP account in Inbox, and I can send/receive e-mail just fine, so I'm stumped.
Any ideas? I also tried VPN (internet3.voicestream.com), but it won't connect at all. I'm not sure if I need to request provisioning for VPN from T-Mobile.
As it turns out, this may be a local issue. I popped my SIM into a t68i and dialed-up via bluetooth from a WinCE device, and had the same problem there. Mail works, Web doesn't. Guess I'll call T-Mobile and see what's up. We had some severe storms here in Memphis Tuesday which have left lingering problems, this is probably related to that.
WOW just woke to the same problem, but hey you know me!
Try changing your AP from internet2.voicestream.com to wap.voicesteam.com that goo me back online.
If also iff the above doesn't work you might try running welcome.exe from the windows roor folder.
Good Luck!
Thanks Qman, that works for me too! I guess there's something wrong with internet2? Anyone else have this problem?
I didn't think T-Mobile allowed anything but WAP over the wap AP. Now that they've gone unlimited data though, maybe they don't care anymore...

Interesting...Here in the SF Bay area, i could connect to internet3 all day yesterday, but couldn't get mail or ie. It was as if t-mo usa's connection between their GPRS and the internet was down for a while...
..but t-mo usa use cinguliar's network here, so that could also have been an issue.
Maybe it was a temporary national t-mo problem.

OK, I don't knkow what else to try here, hence the post!
I'm trying to get my XDA exec (Universal?) to connect to my work VPN. I've entered all the details exactly the same as they are on my laptop (which works) and yet when I try to connect, I get an error message saying "VPN Server problems. Verify your username and password, and try again. If the problem persists, turn the device off and try again." This message appears instantly, as though it is not even trying, and my GPRS connection terminates, without an error message, without a warning. What I think is happening is that as soon as I ask to activate the VPN, it disconnects the GPRS, and then the VPN won't work because of that. Which seems rather stupid.
I've tried rebooting, I've tried changing every setting in the VPN connection, I've tested the GPRS connection by visiting websites, I don't know what I can possibly be missing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
This has absolutely killed my faith in this device. It stops synchronising my mail at least once a day, without warning, it has crashed in the past, destroying mails I was writing at the time, and I find it generally unreliable, unfriendly and considerably less useful than a BlackBerry. Sorry, but I had to say that, I'm tearing my hair out here...
im not sure if you can do VPN over GPRS you may require a wifi connection for that.
Hello faethor, fancy meeting you here!
I know on the XDA IIs it worked over GPRS, so it would surprise me if it didn't on the Exec, but perhaps you're right...
I don't care any more, fed up with the damn thing for today...
This is possible, but there are various possible problems.
It could be something as basic as you need to add your company web-site in the 'exceptions' list (Start, Setting. Connection (tab), Connections (icon) advanced, exceptions). e.g *.companyname.co.uk.
It is worth checking with your IT people if certain IP address ranges are also blocked (e.g. for extra security).
Network tech support are quite rubbish on this, and it took me, my former MD and our IT company several hours to get it sorted last time we tried this!!
The queston is do you need VPN for document view / transfer or is it just for email / contacts on the move (you mentioned Blackberry)?
If your company has MS exchange 2003 the exec sync's straight in using yout outlook web access settings (a tick box also needs to be enabled in the server) or you could use something like www.seven.com which I have had both personally and corporate which works brilliantly.
If it is full VPN you need, I can provide documentation or contact numbers which may help.
It may be that your VPN connection needs to be the GPRS settings (and using the APN vpn.o2.co.uk (you said you were using an XDA which is an o2 branded HTC device) and your conx to your server via proxy is your home server details?
So here's the deal:
I've been using DirectPush for a year now, and I'd like to keep using it for my company/personal mail.
I've just taken on a client that has Exchange with BES, and they would like to give me an email account on that server. While they've offered to give me a CrackBerry, I'd just assume not have to deal with two devices (how anti-convergent!).
Is it possible to have both DirectPush and BBConnect on the same device?
I suspect that in order to get BB Connect working, I'll need to switch to a data plan with access to BB's APN. If I do that, will it prevent me from reaching my hosted Exchange server?
Any experience/insights welcome...

The two email accounts will work together just fine, but the issue you will run into is that BBConnect sets up it's own data connection to Blackberry.net and will fight with other apps on your hermes that want to use the wap.cingular connection. BBConnect usually wins this fight. Thus, if you want to use both, you will need to just disable and enable the Blackberry.net connection in BBConnect when you want to check those emails.
Thanks for the response... which Cingular data plan do you have?
No problem.
I use PDA Connect for Blackberry Connect Unlimited. I no longer have access to isp.cingular, so I have to use wap.cingular, but it seems just as fast. Can't get Cingular Video to work, but I'm not sure if that's a data plan problem or just how my 8525 is configured.
by the way, have you ever used Cingular Answer Tones?
My brother uses it and has "Big Bottoms" playing every time I call him instead of a ring. I always laugh.
"talk about bun cakes, my girl's got em"
Ha! Somehow I don't think my wife would be terribly amused with that answertone...
;-)

so are you switching back and forth between wap.cingular and the blackberry apn?
yep. Using black 2.0, when I want to use IE or check regular outlook pop email, it connects to wap.cingular. Inevitably though, the blackberry.net connection fires up after a random amount of time to reconnect and disables the wap.cingular connection. This is why I sometimes just disable the BBConnect app unless I'm using it.
By the way, you can set Cingular Answertones to only play the "special" song for specific numbers, so your wife wouldn't have to hear it.
I'm having a very frustrating time with email and T-Mobile.
Swapped from Orange recently and for the life of me cannot access my email. I constantly get 'sync error' in the mail app. If I go to the Gmail home page Opera crashes!
I've checked every setting I can think of. Set up the account manually as POP rather IMAP. Gone back to stock SPL and rom. Called T-Mobile but they are clueless and not interested as they didn't supply my Blackstone.
It all works fine over wifi and putting in either an Orange or Three sim triggers the automatic set up which also works fine.
Put the T-Mobile sim back in and problem returns.
Please help save my sanity.
I apologise if this has come up before but have tried searching.
Thanks
Don't know if this helps but I also get an 0x80072f78 error when I try to connect to gmail.com with Internet Explorer.
Just a quickie thought, but have you done a proper hard reset? I flashed a ROM and couldn't get the auto network setup to come up. When I realised it needed a hard reset, I lost the configurations I'd spent some time playing with, but the auto network setup popped up and ended some of my problems.
I also found that I had to untick the proxy setting that T-Mobile accounts use. Not sure if it's important but it may solve your issues, and it works for me.
One other issue I have seen some people post is the 3G or HSDPA will only work properly once you disable it, reset, connect to data via GSM/GPRS then renable 3G, and possibly reset again. Food for thought, but the proxy option was the culprit for me.
Hey Nerdino
Was just about to write back and say I'd hard reset half a dozen times and double checked the proxy setting. To be sure though I checked the proxy again and it was checked! I may well have been hallucinating before but I don't think so.
Whatever though, I unchecked it and it's working fine.
Thanks very much indeed for the reply.

I have looked and looked, and cant seem to find a solution that works for me. I am with Telstra in Australia (why do Telstra like to make things so difficult??)
My problem is that my Outlook Email will only sync with exchange via 3G even though there is a working wifi connection availalable. I get heaps of mail so I am rapidly going through nearly 1G of data each month - even though I am on a good package this is not ideal!!
From my understanding of this thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611724&highlight=activesync+work+connection I updated the Broadcomm Network Adaptors to Internet (they were Work), and then deleted the proxy settings for the Telstra Internet connection.
BUT still my mail is updating over 3G and not wifi. I can access Internet etc over wifi though.
Interestingly, I can only update Bigpond mail over wifi and not 3G. Thats not a big deal as I get minimal mail to that account and I am happy to check it at home - its the Outlook email thats chewing up heaps of data that I worried about.
I hope that I cant be the only one with this problem so if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it! (I know it will be one check box deep in the phone settings, I just dont know which one it is!)
Thanks
That's how it works. Push (Activesync connection) needs a direct connection between the server and device, so that the server can page the device when it's got something for it. This wouldn't work through wifi, because when you're on wifi you're behind a router, which doesn't allow connections from the outside to reach your device. So Activesync will always want to use the data connection.
One thing you can do is NOT to set activesync to receive new mail when it arrives, but only manually or at time intervals, it might work.
Or, simply set it to download only the first 5kB of each message, which is always enough to see what the mail is about , and you can always click "download whole message" for those you need. If you manage to use 1GB with 5kB messages, you're really spending your life on your email box
Thanks so much.
You would think that if Blackberry and Apple have managed to get their email to push over wifi that MS could get Direct Push to work over wifi too!! I've disabled MS Direct Push and changed Active Sync to check every 5 minutes. So, its not quite the same, but its near enough for me!
Thanks again ... I will stop searching for the solution now (and will reduce the download setting too ...)
Sarah, same exact problem here, it really annoyed me, then only way I could have used wifi to sync my outlook, Gmail, etc(which have the same issue) is to set the phone to Airplane mode and then enable wifi, only then it will sync via wifi.
Thank you Kilrah, that was a very spot on answer - it is very apreciated !
Cheers !
