I'm neither a software delevoper or hardcore techie, however this applies to several models so i didnt know where to post. And this is a software question, so i figured you probably could give me an answer.
We have several HTC Tornado and Wizard's, and to get exchange to work on them we have to use custom GPRS and VPN settings. Does there exist a solution where our users could just type in the domain username and password in an application and application configure the GPRS VPN settings on the phone/PDA.
Or possibly make a config/registry file on the computer, convert it to cab and run it on the phone.
Dangaard (a norwgian distributer of HTC phones) made a GRPS/MMS configurator application that you install on the phone, run and choose which operator you have, and it changes your GPRS/MMS settings to that operator.
Something like that is what i'm looking for, but to include VPN and ActiveSync settings also.
I've now had my Trinity for a week and I love it. The GPS and TOM TOM are great. I bought a car mount from Mobile Planet (Expansys) and it works better than the Magellan I was using. The phone functions work generally well, although not as crisp as my Cingular 8525.
I set up the MediaNet connections manually using the settings from the AT&T web-site, and it seems to work well.
There are cab files for all of the Cingular settings that are posted on the XDA Hermes/TyTn list, but I'm not sure if there are any settings in that cab that will improve my Trinity's connectivity. I'm also concerened that I may in some way disable the Trinity with this cab file.
Any Comments?

I'm in the market for my 2nd Trinity. Where did you get it and what did you pay? Some resellers still have old stock with the old ROM.
As far as your settings go, I saw little or no difference with the cingular settings in my area. There are a couple of options you have including DNS servers and access point. I've had good luck with the folowing:
cellular line GPRS
access point - wap.cingular
user name [email protected]
pw CINGULAR1
no domain
Advanced server settings
DNS 208.67.222.222
ALT 208.67.220.220
Others may have a different experience. I never installed the cab.

I got my Trinity from Phone Source USA for 593 shipped. Here goes a link to their ebay auction.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-new-HTC-P...ryZ64355QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Results from quick experiment: San Francisco, USA
HTC Trinity (Latest LVSW.1.0.0.7 rom & Radio.1.41.00.11)
The Cing cabs (from this Forum) used to make settings put adv server config numbers in. Everything else is exactly same as manual setup with auto or configured servers.
Advanced server settings
DNS 208.67.222.222
ALT 208.67.220.220
Phone Band network type set: Auto
GSM/UMTS set: GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
Method: Connections, Advanced, Selected Network, MEdia Net settings or WAP (no proxy) settings, IE defaulted to Windows Live, clicked on url to DSL Reports-Speed Test, 600K used for every test, resulting kbits/sec, re-entered DSL Reports url each test. Between different network settings runs, made change, & soft reset. 2 separate run sets for both network configs & auto/non-auto adv server setup. All numbers kbits/sec.
MEdia Net-AUTO: 804, 889. Avg=847
MEdia Net-Adv settings: 880, 857. Avg=869
WAP-no proxy-AUTO: 634, 618. Avg=626
WAP-no proxy-Adv settings: 632, 705. Avg=669
(For accuracy, each number of the first 2 pairs presented are also averages of 3 separate runs each, with lowest value dropped & 2 used for avg of that run.)
Either method shows MEdia Net as mycingular.net or WAP-non-proxy as myvzw.com, but different ip addresses, for these runs.
Looks like NO STATISTICAL DIFFERENCES in overall results as to the use of Advanced dedicated dns settings.
Also, using the Cingular apps, i.e., MobiTV, Media Net Video, Streaming Video or Music, or other (non-Cingular) Internet Streaming Video & Audio sites, AUTO server-assigned settings worked almost always.
When switching to Adv dedicated settings instead, sometimes a change to AUTO-server assigned would be necessary to get the Video or Audio to run correctly.
Similar results obtained with HTC Tytn.
The only diff I saw with DNS is the time it takes to locate and open web pages. Much faster with the DNS settings I listed above for all of my devices. It has been a year or so since I have changed anything. Results may not be the same now.
How did you put in these settings? I went to Settings --> Connections --> GPRS Setting, but it only has 2 radio buttons: "PAP authentication" and "CHAP authentication".

Create a new connection with those settings.
I am using the .cab 'Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2' on my Trinity and I am always getting nice 3G speeds (Since I am in UMTS or HSDPA areas 95% of my day).
If I go to Settings --> Connections --> Tasks, I only see
"Add a new model connection"
"Add a new VPN server connection"
....
I have tried all of those options, but don't see to be able to create a connection described by you. Can you help? Thanks.

You said: "How did you put in these settings? I went to Settings --> Connections --> GPRS Setting, but it only has 2 radio buttons: "PAP authentication" and "CHAP authentication"."
For GPRS, choose CHAP. Then return to Connections, to continue dialog.
Go to Settings/Connections/Connections:
There you should see: 2 main Headings: Media Net & My Work Network
Also, you have the Advanced tab at bottom, Click on that:
Click on Select networks
Choose on top dialog, My Isp for setting up Data connection OR media Net for setting up proxy connection.
OR, an easy way is:
The file commented on in previous post by maevro, is the easiest way. Do a search on forum, you'll find it easily. Install the cab. Search for cab: Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2
Just create a new modem connection.
Thank you guys, I appreciate it. I am able to get it to work now. How come mine says I connect to EDGE, but not 3G? Again, thank you.
Wow, why go through all of this? Download this .cab and run it & it will set up all the AT&T/Cingular settings...I have said this a while back in this thread....
Hi,
Being a mobile device, it gets used in many places, with many WiFi networks.
Setting the various networking parameters involves opening several different setup screens and (often) fiddling around with entering IP addresses, proxies, etc.
Does anyone know of a utility that allows the easy setting of DHCP vs fixed IP, maybe DNS servers and proxy vs no proxy? And, perhaps more importantly, a utility that both does this and remembers the settings for the various networks, allowing a rapid setup on the second and later connections?
Regards,
Geoff.
Sad but am replying to my own message.
Am I the only one that regularly connects to networks with different parameters?
Am still hopeful that someone will know of a utility to store network parameters and allow same to be set with one tap - or someone clever will make such a utility??
Hi Geoff,
No you're not the only one.
Have you found something yet? I could do with the same!
Michael
Here's another vote for such a utility, i'd love to be able to use mine at hoem and work without having to dig through several menus to get there.
What about a CAB install with different settings..
Same here mate. I am looking into XML cab files, that modify your network card settings eg DHCP \ Fixed IP and also changing over the Wireless network settings, eg SSID, WEP Keys etc.
Its easy enough to create a shortcut to a CAB file, and one that just changes a few registry settings operates very quickly.
Yes, its a manual workaround.
Yes a application that detects the loss of one WIFI and attempts you connect the others in your device and then configures the WLan card accordingly (DHCP\Fixed IP etc) would be very handy.
No - I haven't got very far yet, I took the idea from another thread where someone used it to RESTORE their WIFI settings after a cold-reset.

for putting me on the path..
Hi all,
I have an HTC Dream branded TIM, which I can use for internet access with the APN settings provided by my operator.
I could also use a different APN which requires username/password authentication but up to know I was not able to use it with my phone.
(Yes, I am already aware of the usage of the "APN type" field in order to instruct the phone which APN profile to use )
I suspect it is an authentication-related issue because in the APN configuration of the DREAM I cannot define any configuration related to the authentication method (PAP, CHAP, etc.).
My phone is rooted (JF1.5): can you hint me to understand:
1) which log I can read in order to check why I cannot get the connection with the APN
2) which shell command I can use to try to verify the networking configuration binded with the APN: IP address, DHCP, DNS, ...
3) how I can set the authentication used when connecting to the APN
Thanks for your help, experts!

Hi barban, I have the same problem as you, and unfortunately don't have any solution yet.
Did you finally solve your problem?
Hi All
I have HTC HD with Energy BLACKSTONE 28244 Sense2.5 Cookie.2.0 Nov.13 ROM
I live in IRAN , Facebook & Twitter were filtered , I need help to change the proxy of Opera or IE , if possible change Facebook & Twitter App. proxy settings be able to connect to free Internet.
i use WiFi or MTN GPRS to connect
Please help me
Unfortunately it might not be possible.
You can go into Connections, then click on the Connections icon - click "set up my proxy server" and you will see the "Proxy server" and "Advanced" button if there is already one there.
You will need to find an open SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy server based outside of Iran which will be accessible over your 3G network - your mobile provider might block the standard SOCKS proxy ports (3128 and 1080, if I remember correctly) so unfortunately it might not work even if you find one.
Also, all of your 3G traffic is probably being proxied by your mobile operator anyway including DNS requests, which I'm fairly sure is how you're being blocked. You may have to do a lot of work (rent proxy server service) in order to get round the block.
Best of luck...
