Weather not updating via GPRS..Pls help - XPERIA X1 General

The temperature in the weather section at home screen is not updating via gprs,but as soon as i turn on the wifi it's been updated. But there is no other problem with the gprs,site surfing is good but the weather tab..why is that? what to do? Please help,coz i won't find a wifi connectivity when roaming..

Nobody,please....

i am having the same problem with medianet hsdpa... weather and stock don't update in tf3d and i cannot download email... need wifi for either
also, when connected to hsdpa and wi fi concurrently my quick gps will not download...
has anybody fixed these problems?

i had this problem before as well.. goto settings>connection tab. click on connections and manage existing connections. then then click on proxy settings.. uncheck the box that says This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet.
hope this helps

im using vodafone and it doesnt work for me too BUT ... it doesnt work cause the weatherdata doesnt seem to be standard port 80. Vodafone blocks everythign else (through wap.vodafone.com it does at least).
maybe ur provider does this too??

This network connects to the internet

Whenever I tick this box and click ok I go back in and its unticked!!!!!
The only way to keep it ticked is to specify a proxy server but we dont use one, we just connect.
Any idea how I can tell it that my work connects to the internet?

On the connections screen, where theres the Home connections and My work network connection - i think you can only have one or the other ticked for connecting to the internet. So unchecking one should allow the other.

i think ive worked around it.
You can tick it but you MUST have a proxy server. Now, I dont have one, but if you put a blank space and save then it now thinks im on the internet as well as my internet profile does. The only thing that doesnt work via this is MSN, that seems to have a hardon for wanting to use GPRS or any connection explicitly listed as Internet :roll:

I had the same problem. This is what I did to resolve.
got to start menu,settings,connections,then connentions again. then go to advanced, then select networks In the first box put my isp.(or create it). In the second box should be your t-zones settings.(dont edit)then hit ok twice and then exit to today screen. Give this a try, it worked for me.
The reason this is happening is because the proxy servers used by all major carriers are only available from inside thier network. Im not sure if it is because of DNS records are not provided from outside their network. Once you connect to the WiFi network, the proxy server is unreachable.
For other purposes than this, I have 2 networks setup. One with all the proxy settings for the cingulara network and one that doesn't have the proxy settings. Its easy enough to change when you just have to select a different network to connect to the "internet" with.
Can't have proxy server set up and use wifi too....
My first wizard had defective wifi card. I spent numerous hours with the tmobile support and HTC support to try and get it to work. The first thing they had me check was to disable proxy settings. Both tech supports straight out told me you can't have both. I once saw some thread where someone adjusted a lnk file or registry value so that when wifi was turned on, the proxy settings were disabled;when turned off they were re-enabled.
Hope that helps, Jess
I have a HTC Wizard running WM5. I am running a connection with proxy settings and one without. I can turn on wifi connect to IE and then turn off wifi. Re-open IE and gprs will connect and then load page. I did'nt need to use any special registry settings.

WiFI how to make it

Please don't kill me but I want to know
HOW to make use WiFi instead of network on browsers and mail, once I connect?
once you connect you to a wifi network it should be just like using wifi on your computer.
a more specific question or example may allow someone to help you more.
The phone uses Wifi where possible by default. However as my push mail is running over the Vodafone Internet APN I have found some occasions where my browsing session wasn't using Wifi.
So I created my own homepage which tells me the IP address I'm on and works out if it's my wifi router or the Vodafone Internet. It also has all my bookmarks, which is a better than the built in solution from Opera.
If you aren't using the GPRS all day, try NoData which can block all GPRS usage.

Aha, the old friend from MySymbian
Well I'll try that NoData but good to hear X1 wants to use it by default (when connected). I don't use any push messages.
It's a Vodafone ROM thing. if you flash to another ROM it will work fine.
WiFi problem
No man, I have a Vodafone UK Xperia. problem with Wifi initially, then I've ROM it to the generic UK version...now it connects to Wifi but I cannot browse anything with it. The pages don't load and status keeps saying 'loading...' but nothing happens and after a min or so, a message saying that I have to check my internet connection...not connected!

Then you have your Wifi settings incorrect.
How come u say my Wifi settings are incorrect? How can I correct it? In wat way? my laptop etc connects to the Wifi fine...and the phone as well...but it just that the phone doesnt seem to load anything from internet when I'm connected.
First Check if you used the correct Key for your wifi if thats fine then ....
I've never had this problem with the xperia but I have had with other windows mobile phones it was probable because of older versions of windows mobile, if wifi is connected fine go to Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections -> Advanced Tab -> Select Networks, then select My Network for both drop downs.

Because you are unable to surf the internet, which points to either the settings entered incorrectly (normally when using WEP) or your router needs a firmware upgrade.
Ok here's a complete answer to my question
HOW to make X1 to connect to WiFi ONLY:
Install NoData (thanks for tip!!!)
Turn this on to NOT transfer any network data.
All the browsers I tried (Opera Mini 4.2, Opera Mobile 9.5)
automatically connect by WiFi, so it's great.
Email NOT. But it's enough to
go to email account settings and in advanced server settings instead of your providers network
choose "The Internet".
Violaa, the email account also connects through WiFi.
Hope that helps somebody
Where do i get no data please
There's one topic here called no data cab file!!
Just find it and it's there!
i got problems with my fritzbox 7270, too.
but i solved it.
just set the 802 adaptor manual to your wifi settings.
free ip adress in your segment, gateway, nameserver.
i think its a dhcp problem, with my 7270.

Windows Live Messenger not working over 3G

Logs in fine when on wi-fi but whenever I try on 3G (on T-mobile UK) get the following messaget:
"There's a connectivity problem. Make sure you're in an area with good reception and try again."
Reception is fine with online browsing and everything else working through the 3G connection. On version 10.6.0042.1900 of Windows Live Messenger. Anyone else had this?
Do you have your data plan connection set up to use a proxy? I found that no matter what I did I could not receive mail or connect to msn over 3G if that setting was enabled.
Just go to Settings->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks->(select your connection under Internet)->Edit...->Proxy Settings
Here tick "This network connects to the Internet" and untick "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet".
That fixed my problem. Hope it helps

Maybe t-mobile blocking it? They do say you aren't supposed to use IM.

What exactly is the problem? When connected via wifi, you are unable to surf the net, update stock & weather? Or is it just internet access?
Go to Settings > connections > wifi > wireless networks > network adaptors and set 'My network cards connects to' to 'the internet'
Would also change Settings > connections > wifi > advanced > power mode and set this at best performance
Let me know if this works
Is the problem with just surfing the internet, or no internet at all? You can try to update the weather and/or stocks, just to see if the problem is with the connectivity (in which case you should try to follow the previous advice) or with the browser itself (for example with Black Perl ROM the first time you open Opera, there is a problem with rendering of the page, so you have to close it and reopen again).

Are you connected to active sync or wmdc while you are trying to access the net (i.e. do you have your phone plugged into you pc)?
Check |START|SETTINGS|CONNECTIONS|USB To PC| and make sure you have "Enable advanced network functionality" checked.
If all else fails, soft reset, if that fails... hard reset
If in Internet explorer is ok then Check opera:config for a wrong proxi !
(opera keep setings from last conections)

my hd wasnt connected to pc... i even tried to connect using my 3g...
the 3g is connected but still cant browse the internet... i dont think theres a problem with my opera... since i tried to update the weather it appears the same errors..
I had this problem today - wifi connected but opera and weather updates not working.
I selected
Start->Settings->Connections(tab)->Connections(icon)->Advanced->Select Networks
and set "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" = "My Work Network" (was "Orange Internet").
This worked fine and I can now surf and download. I don't know if it will affect my 3g connection yet but I will try it later.
install schaps advanced config and disable "Proxy Auto Detection" in Internet Explorer section
Is your problem similar to this?

Sorry for not having the solution, just trying to determin what would be the cause.
Which firmware do you have?
perhaps it will be easier to change it directly in the registry.
one can see that this is not relevant to internet explorer only.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000000
