Fido Internet Settings and my HTC Cruise - Networking

I don't know what the problem is, or if I am missing something, but I can't get online with my cruise.
I was using the latest radio, and a custom rom. Tried a hard reset, different radio too, still no luck.
I thought all i needed was..
internet.fido.ca
fido/fido
and an ip address which I cant remember, but none the less, nothing is working. (actually, don't know if that's the DNS, for the server address i enter in the advanced settings)
Flashed to default WWE rom, pyt same settings in, this time it pops up with trying to connect, but in the end gives me same message..
"dialed internet.fido.ca. Cannont connect for an unknown reason" blah blah blah..
Another fellow has an htc tytn and used the same settings, on a custom rom that was made by the SAME GUY that made the custom rom i am using for my cruise.. which is pretty weird.
Anything else I can do for trouble shooting? Do i have to wait awhile for it to kick in? or shoudl it just work after a soft reset?

Hi i have downloaded the rogers cab in this forum and modify the internet.rogers.ca to internet.fido.ca and change the user/password and it work fine, 5 cent for one KB

Hmm ok. I am on the $30/6gig plan.

help, upgraded firmware and now no internet

Just upgraded the firmware on my Cingular 8525. I downloaded the latest version from the ftp website.
rom version 2.06.502.3
rom date 02/02/07
radio version 1.34.00.10
protocol version 32.67.7020.10h
What the phone does. The phone still works and I can make out going phone calls, but I am unable to download my mail or bring up web pages. It comes up as web page can not be loaded. I've tried to search for an answer but have not found anything yet.
I am using an old att sim.
Thanks
Scott
Scott,
Have you checked to see if the connection settings are set on the device (settings - connections)? Perhaps the ROM upgrade (is a Cingular one or HTC?) does not contain those settings - in that case you will need to manually enter them. Perhaps this might help: http://forums.mobiledia.com/topic18250.html - not sure if the settings in here are right for your service or contract. A search here and on MoDaCo: http://www.modaco.com/HTC-Hermes-HermesMoDaCocom-f204.html might also provide the settings that you need
Good luck
My connection settings are correct. They were working before I upgrade the firmware. I am using Att settings which is proxy. Unless with the new firmware they changed. I think it might have to do with the bootloader being 1.09 I just trying to figure this out.
Thanks for your help,
Scott
So you are old ATT Blue in USA, correct?
Running the RUU 2.06 with Radio 1.34?
Do another hard reset as some times the first boot is not letting the entire Ext_rom complete, I do not know why but it happens sometimes on the new Cingular ROM.
After that if it doenst work then go to Cingular.com and check your GPRS setting in the "Connection" part of your setting and make sure the settings include the correct user name (wap.cingular.......... and password CINGULAR1..... etc)

No internet when I use rebel sim card

Hi friends,
I recently bought a HTC HD2 locked to T Mobile in UK. I used a Rebel sim to unlock it and I am now using it on O2.
However I am not able to start internet, neither can I receive internet settings from O2.
The message that gets displayed tell the phone is pre set to T Mobile internet settings and these cannot be changed
Is there anyway I can bypass these? Anyone else faced same thing before?
Thanks
Metal
settings - menu - all settings - connections - there should be a connection setup option in there.
if not, use this
phoneroms.co.uk/Programs/connectionsetup.cab
instal it, reboot the phone, it will auto run when you restart and configure your phone.
samsamuel
thanks for reply.
Yes I went to that menu option but the only thing I see is TMobile.
I am asked to select country (i select as UK), then I am asked to select operator and only option I have is T - Mobile.
Besides when I click on any browser, I get the T Mobile flash screen and then the browser starts.
I get an error as I am not a T Mobile customer. I have a link for settings there. When I click that it says -
This connection is pre configured. It cannot be modified.
You need to flash the WWE HTC ROM, as the T-Mobile ROM has the internet settings preset and you cannot change them.
hollinshead...
Thanks for the reply. I was guessing so from the little bit of research I have done.
Can you please give me some pointers in that directions...not really handholding but some links or step by step guide ?
I am new to WinMo actually...have been a symbian loyalist till now !
Sorry for sounding lame, but what is WWE?
WWE = World Wide Edition
Thanks.
I tried to d/l it from the HTC site. When I enter the serial no. I get
Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
What are the other options I have? Other reputable links from where I can get it?
Can I d/l any ?
Thanks in advance
you probaly need to install hspl and then flash it
Thanks.
I got hold of a serial no after random searching. I entered that on HTC site and my download is in progress for WWE ROM.
Can I install it? Will that cause any adverse effects?
try using this network connection settings cab.
It appears you didn't try the one samsamuel posted.

It won't let you flash it to your device, it will give you an error.

midnight, samsamuel
That does indeed work and I am now able to use internet on O2 even though I am locked to T Mobile. However I cant receive network settings. With O2 you send active to 2020 and you receive the internet settings. I get a message back that there is a problem and contact customer services. That is not an issue now as I can use the internet.
However I am curious to know if I will be able to upgrade my ROM in the future. I downloaded the WWE ROM but I got 294 Error for invalid vendor when I tried to install
In simplistic terms what is HSPL? is that irreversible? Are there any links for tutorials which make it simple for WinMo beginners.
Sorry but its my first day on HD2 and on WinMobile

Yes I did, but for someone who started using a new phone out of the box just few hours back, its a bit over the head.
I am trying to come to grips on what is HSPL, SPL, flashing, etc.
So I wanted to know if there is any basic tutorial, help pages etc which can be useful for starters. I am a tech guy so I can understand the tech terms but everyone needs a guidance first time around.

HD2 New ROM WIFI Router not working

Hey All
I installed the latest rom from tmobile that was released i believe on june 3 could have been earlier it erased all of my contacts and programs. im ok with that as i can put all of that back. My big concern is that the Wifi router app that i downloaded from here will install but when i attempt to run the app to setup i get an error " there is no application associated with "CMIS". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application". Ive tried uninstalling reinstalling with no luck. Anyone have any idea how to fix this. on a side note after i updated all of my photos and videos and cab files were changed to menc files. most will not work after removing the ext (E.G jpg.menc)
if anyone has any idea on this one that would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance.
I just installed the update yestersay. The Wi-Fi Router App was the VERY first thing that I tried to reinstall. I don't get an error message, but I can't connect to anything. The phone doesn't even recognize that there is a connection being made, so after I initiate the router, I go to Wi-Fi, and it says 'No Connection'. I don't know why this is, but I do believe that T-Mobile knows that using the phone as a modem is possible and they researched until the figured out how to put a 'fix' in the new ROM to keep us from doing that.
I want to flash my ROM to a custom ROM to see if that will give me back that feature. I' shall see how that works, and I'll let you know if it does.
Hello, I too have tried installing a custom rom but still the wifi router isnt working, i wonder if T-Mobile arent accepting people to make wifi routing? (if that makes sense)
I do not know if you are using a Windows Mobile ROM or a Android ROM. If it is a Windows Mobile ROM sorry but I have no real advice except for you to try to reinstall the app or ROM. If it is Android then you can try updating your Super user as this fixed this problem for me once. Just go to the Android Market and look for Superuser. You can always try a different Android ROM too.
Just started getting this Issues i have HD2 Running on Energy Jul4 rom. and the WIFI Router app Will not Connect to Tmobile Data the icon will keep trying and it will not connect.
i tried a different ROM and still getting the Same Issue. :-( can anyone help?

[Q] Connection Set up Not Working!!! HELP!!!

I went through the flashing okay. And I was even able to unlock and do everything else including getting a code from MS. But when I get to the step that says run connection set up, it tells me that my carrier is not in the database and then tells me to manually set up my APN.
I know I did everything else okay, but I know I can't edit my HD2 registry settings because of this. And my market and xbox features don't work because of this issue.Please, if anyone has had this experience, or knows why I'm getting a "carrier not in database" when I run HTC Connection set-up. I would greatly appreciate it. I hope I'm not the only one having this issue.
Same problem here. Whats your carrier?
I already tried to add the keys manually using a registry editor. However it didn't work and the phone has locked itself again. Now I cannot even unlock it anymore using chevron (it says no connection) so I cannot launch any registry editor or try something else. Probably I have to flush it again. However what I still really need is a solution to this problem with the carrier.
I have solved the problem. My carrier is a small carrier from austria (bob). It seems that the HTC tool simply doesn't have any data for this carrier (the tool in win mobile 6.5 has known bob...). I used another sim from another austrian carrier (a1), whith this i was able to run the tool and add the registry data!
The Connection Setup didn't work for me too. Just ask your provider for the APN (Access Point Name) the Username and the Password and type it in Settings-network- add APN. Thats all.
For A1 /bob its:
APN: A1.net
User: [email protected]
Password: ppp
Yes, but entering the APN has not been the problem. I wanted to use the Connection Setup to add registry keys according to the WP7 guide. However, I already have solved this by using another sim of another carrier.
@oscar2010 did this work for u too?

Do the following Steps:
Go into Settings
Select Cellular
At the bottom screen select "add apn"
Type "wap.cingular" in the APN field
Press the check sign to save.
Soft reset your phone and you should have data access
Also make sure you have "Data connection" On

ok so I did that. And by soft reset I'm assuming you mean taking the battery out and putting it back in. Did that. No data still

I have the exact same issue. Down to even the same radio. Has this issue been resolved with the APN? I have no problem with data just MMS. I can neither send nor receive.
I tried:
wap.cingular alone and with the [email protected] CINGULAR1 username and password combination
proxy
ism.cingular
isp.cingular
I checked my girlfriends Samsung WinPhone 7 config on AT&T and it lists no APN settings at all yet MMS works without issue.
I am at a road block here and MMS is something I use for work almost daily. I would really hate o have to go back to WinMo 6.5.
Thanks for your time everyone,
Mike

Always use Connection Setup when setting after a hard reset or new flash. Do manual setup if no other work around. The new ROM's have a new database of carrier settings to automate connection setups.
