GPRS troubles sort of....

I'm having some troubles with my GPRS connections. I'm able to recieve emails from one of my accounts on a regular schedule (ie. every 60 mins) but I am unable to recieve mail from my Gmail account and I'm unable to user any browsers(PIE, or Opera) to connect to the web. When I go into Comm manager I am connected but both browser cannot find the requested page or server times out? So how is it that I can recieve my mails from the same connection but not surf.
I think one of my problems was that I changed something in the registry to make it seem that I was using IE 5.5 what are the default settings? I have an 02 exec xda with stock ROM and radio there is a setting in settings for GPRS One is CHAP and the other is PAP which one do I need to use for TMO North America?
Also in settings there is MY ISP and WORK; Work has vanished and all that is there is my TMO settings. All help welcomed
thanks

Hotmail account not using wifi connection

I'm just wondering why my hotmail email account uses my data connection even though I have an active wifi connection. My gmail and yahoo connects to the wifi no problem but when I do 'send/receive' with my hotmail, it always uses the data connection. Anything to change this setting? Thanks.

We are together in this I guess
Good question! I was wondering why it happens too... I went through the registry, I made a hard reset (Was thinking the problem due the fact I imported mails using a backup problem)... nothing... there is no way to solve it! I think there is someproblem in messenger by itself and the solution might be installing another version?... Any idea anyone

I have this problem too, i go into communications, then disable cellular radio, and activate WIFI, then my hotmail updates over wifi, Strange, some kind of fix for this would be good.

Does anyone know if there is a fix?

In the email account settings try changing connection to "The Internet" instead of the default one (mine said "T-Mobile Internet").
This way email will go via WIFI if available, otherwise via 3G/GPRS... as it should

The problem here, and why it's set to default to HSDPA for email, is the outgoing SMTP server. Orange in particular block the use of any SMTP server other than their own, but of course their smtp won't work when you're connected via wifi. Thus on mine I set it to use Orange Internet for everything (idiotically it wasn't defaulting to that, so no outgoing email when on wifi).
Ideally this really needs different smtp settings when you're on wifi - anyone know a way?

I'm no expert, so put me right if I'm being dumb here:
I'm with Orange (UK) and use my own email account (incoming POP3 and sending via SMTP).
I seem to be able to both send and receive mail quite happily via HSDPA even though it's not Orange email. Am I missing something ?

Hrrrm, maybe just a yahoo email thing then. I can't use their smtp on orange HSDPA.

If it's of interest, the email through my own server requires the mail client to log in for both sending and receiving, and the word SMTP doesn't appear in the server name. Perhaps this helps Orange to "miss" it ?

I have the same problem, but a lot worse. My HD doesn't use my wifi for anything, unless I deactivate my data connection. It's really annoying, especially since I previously had a Diamond, and that worked perfectly!
Any tips would be VERY much appreciated!

Same here. I thought it was just opera that wouldn't use wifi, but its everything. All my apps seem to use my data connection rather than wifi.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, and I don't know if the solution is elsewhere (I've been searching for hours), but I think I've sorted hotmail to connect using wifi here:

Another solution would be to use 'No data' app and toogle off 'internet' & 'wap' so data connection is not available so phone can only use wifi. If at some point you want to re-use data connection, just toggle them on again.

Checking email when not on Wifi not working?

Hi there,
I have set up my POP3 email account on my HD (though have set to leave messages on server) and it works fine on Wifi (checks, downloads, sends, etc). However when I'm not on Wifi and I'm on TMobile data (HSDPA, 3G, GPRS, etc), I get an error when I try send and receive. It comes up with "error synchronising" and a popup appears at the top saying...
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap settings." If I go into settings, I get the list of connections, but can't see anything in there that needs changing. I'm on T-Mobile in the UK, and it lists "T-Mobile Internet" and "My Work Network". If I go into the T-Mobile Internet settings everything seems fine in there. And it all works when I go into the web browser, or Youtube app, etc.
Its almost as if the mail app doesn't have access to the data connection unless its over Wifi. Is there something I'm missing, or an area where you can tell it when to use the data connection? I've even tried manually enabling the data connection through the comm manager (rather than it starting when an app needs it), then switching to mail and clicking send/receive - still the same error.
Thanks,
Dave

Can anyone help me? I'm not sure whether its connected but I also have a problem where another programme (Lotus Notes Traveller client) doesn't seem to be able to get access to the internet connection on the phone, regardless of whether its Wifi, 3G or anything else.
Thanks.

this may sound odd but bare with me! i can get on the net and emails but my hd would not check emails when in standby no matter what i did. I then realised i couldnt send or receive mms messages! all the settings seemed ok. Anyway in my mms connection i changed the wap setting to 1.2 from 2 and my mms worked! But since then my phone now checks email in standby! I didnt realise they were connected but may be worth checking.

How do you change that wap setting. I have the same problem, but on T-Mobile USA

Hi,
I found I could sync emails using Wi-Fi ok but got the dreaded "failed to sync" message when using the GPRS method. I am also on T-Mobile.
The problem is T-mobile only let's you send emails using there smtp.
You need to go into the email options menu and keep clicking through the settings until you get to the send using smtp box, here you need to type smtp.t-email.co.uk
This will send mail using the T-mobile network.
Please post back if this helps

Thank you - works perfectly for me! Good call!

POP3 MAIL over 3G connection?

Hello fokes,
When i had my HTC Vox i could easily receive mails with POP3 settings. The only problem was that i had to connect to my home network to send mails.
Since i have my TP2 i cant get connection to my mailbox using the mobile phone connection. If i log on to my home network everything go fine, but with 3G in don't receive my mail at all.
It was possible in the past, so it should work right?
Of course Exchange servers exists, but thats not an option for me (just home mails).
So is it possible to receive pop3 mails on my phone using only a 3G connection, and how? i tried it several times now but didn't get it done jet.

hmm... strange.. care to elaborate more??..
Do you mean u can check mails using gprs but not with 3g/hsdpa?
I'm using an Asia/Singapore set, but i can check emails pop3 in gprs/3g/hsdpa all fine..

i wonder if you can default your internet conection to 3g, so it won't automatically pick up edge.
are you connected to the PC when you check email? try changing your settings to only use 3g, that way you're forcing 3g to be the only connection to work. also, can you surf the net with 3g?

pop mail
Strange with my tp2 it works fine.
Are you sure it is allowed by vodafone.
At my phone I can send and receive mail.
Are you sure you used the right settings.
I think you did not use the right pop and smtp settings.
What provider are you using for your mail?
If you send me a personal massage I can answer you in dutch it's a little easier.

thanks for the replys
first of all my internet works fine using gprs/3g. i have 3g standard so i just called it 3g.
te settings of my mail accounts are correct. if i login to my home network (wifi) i receive my mails perfect and can send them.
sending mails over 3g/gprs did never work because i normaly use the mail server of my internet provider. so i can only sned emails if i use their connection.
in the past i had the htc vox (only gprs) with the same mailaccounts and providers. receiving mails worked perfectly, sending not.
i suppose it doesnt matter if i use gprs or 3g. didnt test it jet
i dont know of my providers uses restrictions.
gsm: vodafone
pop3: active24
smtp: tiscali / telfort
i know active24 has now exchange server support. perhaps they changed te servers and made it imposiible to me to connect with a phone without using that exchange server
@rodus: i will contact u if nessesary (afther this post). thanks for you help (to all)

mail settings
If you use your active24 smtp settings it should be possible to send mail with your phone. I found this settings on the active24 site maybe it will help you.
http://www.active24.com/sw17854.asp

thanks, this settings are not the one i used before (the one i got from active24.nl).
I can now send and receive mails after i used that settings and switching of the using of a proxy server connection.
because the proxy i couldn't access the pop/smtp servers.
now i only have problems with the mail client (from energy rom leo). editing acounts is not possible and auto send/receive seems not to work, but that is an other problem.
Thanks alot for the support

Email Problem

I did a hard reset before but now when I try to conect to Live messenger it fails and the email won't sync. Internet works fine and weather updates ect.
Any ideas?
Thanks

i have a similer problem. cant send a recieve on 3g. it just says can not connect. turn on the wifi and bingo emails come down. back to 3g and nothing again. the connection i fine. i can go on line download app ect.
ive actually been going to the hotmail website to view my emails. this works fine but its not ideal. would like to get the main mail working prpoerly.

ARe you using T MObile roms? Try un ticking the 'use proxy' setting if it is set, and you should be good to go.
settings tab - menu - all settings - connections - connections - manage existing connections - proxy settings tab.

No access to email via 3G
Have set up access to email account which works fine when on a wireless network. When wireless is unavailable I am unable to connect via 3G (Telstra NextG). All I manage is a Cannot Connect message and a suggestion that I change my settings. There is no entry for a Proxy Server as I would expect and internet access via 3G is operative.
