Weather tab and proxy connection - Touch HD General

Hi guys!
i just bought my HD today and it's really a wonderful phone.
So, with my diamond owned before, with the installation of "HTC Home proxy patch" (version 2.1) i was able to use my internet connection and get weather update.
The same patch applied to my HD, don't work anymore!
Can you help me using HTC Home application (like weather or stocks) via proxy?
PS: the internet connection via proxy (port 8080) is the only possible for me (company sim).
Thank you in advance!

HTC Touch Home Screen's Weather Update

Did anyone ever figure out how to get this page to update Via GPRS? Mine will only update from an AS Connection or if I happen to have WiFi on at the time. But, if I am connected using GPRS then it fails to recognize internet connectivity. (Yes, I do have wap.voicestream.com available and I am paying for the basic service).
Thanks in advance for any information you provide.
The reason could be that your GPRS connection is set through a proxy server.
I have the same problem with my GPRS.
Only if you can set the proxy address in your programs or can patch the program to except a proxy address you will be successful.
There is no other way to bypass a providers fixed proxy as far as I'm informed.

Actually, Come to think of it, I wouldn't think it would present a problem; The Weather plug-in is part of the HTC Touch - which presumably is built to use either GPRS or whatever available at the time. Thus it should work just the same on any similar unit.
Yes you are right, but some a provider offer a few different data subscriptions.
So with certain GPRS supscriptions you have only access certain ports which are defined be the provider.
I for example have a WAP & Email flatrate supscription, which allows me to surf wap pages and receive push mail.
Without simple modifications I would not be able to also surf on http sites.
If I would use a different GPRS option from my provider I would be able to surf with no porblems or use any kind of programs accessing the web.
I once had Spb Weather installed on my XDA and was only able to use my GPRS flat with it if I had a patched .exe of Spb Weather installed so it could pass the restricted O2 proxy.
I hope you get my point.
To simplify it, if you are able to use the Live Messenger on your xda with GPRS then you should also be able to update the Touch weather plugin.
BTW - SPB mobile shell wont waste such a great space on todayscreen - which for me is important for appointments and there are no problems with weather etc.
And looks nice.
And the now screen - i´m searching
You can find more infos here: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/screenshots.html?de
And in black with digital clock it looks nice.
And the menu strukture is perfekt for onehanded using.

there is a reghack:
search for "GPRS" and there msut be a value "enableDIfferGPRSicon" or something like that.
Set it to 1 and it will change from "G" = when GPRS (little slow) or "E" = EDGE (faster) is available.
lol

You can get the weather working. what seems to be the problem?
The problem is the weather updates only via WiFi. The weather does not update via GPRS/EDGE.

Finally found a fix for this. Use the Touch cab or just the HTC Home DLL from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Mine works fine now.

Weather panel 5 days forecast
after i installed the HTC Home plugin, the "Download weather automatically" was enabled since then. I'm wondering why the weather panel, displays only the forecast of the last update even 2days already past. It will display the current weather forecast ONLY when you CONNECT or get update through the internet. The succeeding forecast will not display until you updated. It seems the 5 days forecast is not working properly.
i noticed that after i installed the plugin, the HTC home folder was not in the /Windows folder. is this normal? do i need to copy some files into my /windows folder?
Is there any way that the weather forecast will display the succeeding forecast without updating it to the internet since there are 5 days of forecast?

Htc Home Plugin - Weather Through Proxy

Hi to all, this is my first post, sorry if I say something wrong.
I've a problem with weather plug-in, my hdspa/3g/edge/gprs internet connection is possible through a proxy server. All the other programs use this settings but the weather plugin in the package "HTC HOME" seems don't use this proxy and i can't use this feature.
However it work good through Wireless connection (without proxy).
Previous search on this forum about this problem don't have positive results in two posts some one talk about the same problem but there are not response on this question.
Thank's for any contribute.
Bye, ManuX
anyone can help me?
here's what you need to do.. connect to the internet using active sync... and then (you should not use proxy for this one) run ie go to google then update your weather plug-in in your "htc home" by clicking/choosing the weather icon on your trinity... oh before i forgot on options tab put a tick mark on all the tick boxes then exit and save ...cheers

So.....is this supposed to enable you to use the proxy now or are you just giving instructions on how to update the weather through active sync?
Updating through WiFi or Active Sync is not the problem. Weather updates are most useful when your on the go, hence, using the proxy. (T-Mobile web users)
thanks, i will try

Does the new weather tab in TouchFlow 3D support proxied connection?

Hi all,
I just want to ask you guys who has the new HD that comes with the TouchFlow 3D.
Does the weather tab now work fine even with proxied connection? In the old TouchFlow the weather tab never work if you have proxied connection (HTTP proxy) instead of direct internet connection.
So, for those that use HTTP proxy in your internet connection and you have your weather tab working fine, please let us know. Thanks.
Yes, it work's fine with the french SFR network through there proxy.
The proxy is on port 8080.
Thanks so much for your reply.
Can't get mine to work with a proxy through ActiveSync... IE and RSS feeds work fine using a proxy so I know it's setup correctly.
(Not really an issue for me as I prefer to update over the air anyway....)
TMobile USA - connection failed
Opera works fine. But Weather update - no.
I guess it may be timeout issue.
bogdatov,
This is what I would like to find out. I tried before the prev HTC Home Plug in and the weather tab never works with the proxied connection.
Thanks for your clarification.

Lotus Traveler - Blackberry Connect

Hello,
I just can't find solution.
I need BB Conect (I have BES) or Lotus Traveler.
Is there any working on HD2?
How to make it work?
Thank you
I have lotus traveller installed on my device.
Hello,
I ve lotus traveller install on the hd2 too. No problem with that.
regards,
Hi, thank you for your reply.
It forced me to find out why mine doesn't work.
So I found out that afer every HARDRESET my device autimaticaly create Internet Connection which work for all programs and all websites, but not for Traveler.
So after trying bunch of different ROMs, I finally figure out that I need to create manually NEW internet connection and after that Traveler is working.
Then, next issue I had was:
After installing Traveler, password policy (which locks my device after few minutes) was freezing my device.
So, finally I put original HTC HD2 ROM, Installed Traveler and in options of traveler I set something like: show classing password window.
After that, everything works fine.
So far so good, I'll test it few days to see how it works.
If I'll not be satisfied, I'll turn on my BB and f**k it, I'll use both phone, one for e-mail, second for everything else
At the end, I have multiSIM, so using 2 devices with same phone number will not be problem.
Thank you
The problem you are having with traveller using the original internet connection is it probably has a proxy configured.
If you untick this connection uses a proxy in the settings for the connection traveller will configure first time no problem. I think Traveller uses port 80 which causes the issue.
Yes, you are half right.
Default connection uses proxy, but my traveler uses HTTPS and port 4433

WM 6.5.3 and Native VPN......

Hi I recently signed up for a StrongVPN 3 Country deal to give me a stable VPN connection in China. I have set up all ok om my home PC and it works fine allowing access to sites otherwise blocked here.
Then i set up a VPN connection on my HTC Touch Diamond2 I can get the VPN to connect using either IPSec/L2TP or PPTP methods, however neither Tunnel seems to allow Internet access to either MS Explorer or Opera Mobile 10 or any other internet program.
In fact when i have established the VPN connection and then start my internet explorer or any other program which needs to access the internet then the VPN connection is dropped.
If I connect the VPN tunnel on the TD2 i can site there watching it for ages so it does not seem to be dropped after any specific time frame, only when I start an internet access program. for instance if i open my Hotmail account then the VPN connection stays until the point when i tap send and receive then it drops immediately and the hotmail account then synchronise mail via the standard wifi connection.
I also set-up my home PC to allow incoming connection and then set up another VPN connection on my TD2 to allow it to connect to my home PC. but whilst i can connect to my home PC i can not surf the internet using the VPN tunnel......I had thought that i might be able to start the StrongVPN connection on my homePC and then access it via the VPN connection from my TD2 to my HomePC but it does not seem to work that way.
My objective is to use my mobile phone to be able to surf social networking sites that are otherwise blocked by censorship.
Sorry for the long post but please could anyone with advise or experience at setting these two functions up on WM 6.5.3 please advise.
Well I think I may have found out the reason for the VPN connection to drop out....I needed to change my setting in CONNECTIONS and where before i selected my GPRS or EDGE service provider i now need to change that to "My Work Network" as this is where i set up the StrongVPN connection. now i have done this change to the settings the VPN connection does not drop out when any Internet program is started.
But I still can not access the blocked websites using StrongVPN on my WM device so I do not really know if it is using the VPN connection or not.....
im also in china and got one vpn for the same reasons as u and having exactly the same problem as u..
plz tell me if u found any solution...

StrongVPN Help desk advised me to input their DNS server settings in to the VPN account settings. I will try this when i get back to China in September. the DNS settings are found by edit the VPN account then next, next and select "Advanced" then scroll to "Servers" there you can select manaual server address and use the one that you VPN service provider recommend.
Let me know how you get on.
I have a similar problem here. I have setup the VPN in network connections but am still unable to surf blocked sites. The VPN worked fine on my PC. I have also changed the DNS setting for the VPN but no luck. But since there was no popup windows telling me whether it is connected or disconnected, how do I know the status of the VPN connection? Thanks!
to see if you are connected just tap on the top info bar then u should see your wifi connect and also your VPN connection. if you enable sound notification for connections in sounds then you will also get an audible connect and dissconnect to let u know. remember to set all your connection settings to "work connections" as i fount if not then when u open opera or other program that needs internet connection it will disconnect the VPN connection.
Thanks. I have tried that and the VPN was online. But opera was just couldn't open any page. Eighter the factbook tab in TouchFlo3D couldn't login. Any idea?
Have the same problem connecting to my home network - Remote Desktop works fine, until I open a browser on my HD2 - changing settings mentioned above didn't help...
Ok - it seems like I've managed to discontinue the connection drops to VPN.
Added wildcards to exceptions http://*.* and https://*.*
This way everything that tries to connect to internet connects via VPN. To stop that - in Work network setting select the same connection you use to connect to internet (Connections > Advanced > Select network)

I'm not sure what you mean by "added wild cards to exceptions"....what exceptions and where on your PDA did you add them?
As far as I was aware you are only able to set up a VPN connection in the "My Work Network" connections area. then to stop your VPN connection from being dropped by any application that access the Internet, you simply change your options to BOTH use "My Work Network" then the VPN connection is used for all applications.
However that said, I still cant access blocked sites using my VPN connection with StrongVPN in China. even after setting my Server DNS to that of StrongVPN it still does not work.
Anyone got any ideas why or how to access blocked content in China on their PDA??????
