Hi, is there any way of connecting to MSN by wifi?
Everytime I connect it uses GPRS.
Yes, you need go to Settings -> Connections. Click Advanced tab, Select networks and change 'Prog that automatically connect to the Internet...' to My ISP or My Workplace.
Bear in mind, you'll have to change it back to your telco's internet settings or you won't be able to go to the internet on GPRS.

I have done this, yet still it connects via GPRS. Am I missing something?
I've tried the same options and it still wants to connect by GPRS too.

Are you guys using the stock ROM that came with the phone, particularly if you're on a contract with vodafone/etc?
As I remember some carriers force you to use the data connection rather than the wifi, I can't remember how to fix it though. I use one of the clean ROMS and install applications myself, and mine works fine both on wifi and GPRS/HSDPA with no change of settings inbetween.

yep i'm on voda
Least i know I gotta flash it. Thanks
what is itje's rom, and where might I get it from
rom is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458768
you'll need to flash to HardSPL first... there's also some info on restoring it to stock SPL for warranty reasons...
also i set up MSN with WiFi, before doing the settings for Vodafone WAP, just in case.

GPRS works fine, Wireless at home works, but it seems when I try to access the internet when plugged in, it just wants to connect GPRS, if I cancel that, I still get no internet. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Marc
yeah, I can't get active sync or WiFi to work since the new ROM on my MDA. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hey trublu....did you change the GPRS setting?
I did not change the GPRS settings, I have triple checked them and they are correct. I tried creating another and still nothing. I do notice there is no proxy setup listed for the internet setup like there was originally. As I mentioned internet and wireless both work properly.
Which ROM are you guys talking about?

I don't know what is going on but when I'm at home, I woud usually be connected to UMTS/GPRS. Of course, having wifi at home, I would rather use that (speedwise) but when I turn on wifi, I notice that I would be connected to both WIFI and UMTS/GPRS.
FIRST QUESTION:
Which am I utilizing? UMTS/GPRS or WIFI?
Now, considering that I "THINK" I'm using wifi, I would launch PIE and to go to a website, it takes forever...... The task bar keeps saying locating. I have to literally wait and wait before I get to the website.
SECOND QUESTION:
What is going on here?
At any rate, if I turn WIFI off and I'm just connected to GPRS/UMTS, I can browse using PIE without any problems. No "locating..." etc. or waiting.
Please help!

While on wifi you can temporarily turn off GPRS using connections hard key below on/off hard key. Just tap on the icon that looks like a pda with two arrows. When off wifi reconnect GPRS using connections in settings menu.

Ok. goodie. I was able to shut off the GPRS.
Now I launched internet explorer. The only connection that I'm connected to is my wifi. Still the taskbar is saying "Locating.." taking forever to go anywhere.

At least one step in right direction. I'm not so hot on the slow connection. Assume ports and proxies are setup ok.
Perhaps others have some ideas.

elaborate on the proxy settings so i can check if these are right...

In Start>Settings>connections there is an option "edit my proxy server" and within this lots of options.
I will have a different provider from you so don't know what settings should be there. I am also not an expert on this so hopefully someone who is will jump in with some info on this.
One person I was posting with queried why their wifi connection needed any proxy settings as they were not connecting through to their mobile operator but to their home broadband connection. However when they tweaked a setting here their Wifi suddenly started working. See Mariete's last post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284867
We need someone with more knowledge!! Anyone?
Mike
Well for one thing, there is no setting for proxy server. Even then when i did find anything to do with proxy server, it is not even activated.
Next..
Phew...Someone else with the same EXACT issue. I was on with Cingular/HTC support today and they really didn't help. I will keep trying new things and checking back to this thread to see if anyone else thinks of an idea.
I have a Apple Airport (802.11g) with no security settings. I have a few laptops on the network and friends who can connect their laptops without any issues.
I actually got tired of this issue. I downloaded and bought netfront. It was something I was going to buy anyway. So after installing it, I tried it again and this time, it goes to the website flawlessly. It must be something to do with IE.
On the other hand, I'm having some issues with shutting down the GPRS again. It keeps turning on automatically.

everyone make sure they arent on their providers connection that utilizes the proxy.. i dont know about any provider except cingular.. when using wifi stay off MEDIA NET.. everyone's best bet is to make sure they are on the connection for MY ISP, go to settings, connections, connections, advanced, select networks, change the drop down to MY ISP. also make sure wifi is off before doing this, after changing to my isp then turn wifi back on and you should be ok...

I will give this a try. Thanks. I will keep everyone posted to my hopeful success.
Absolutely fantastic!!!
Hi All,
First of all, let me tell you that I was also suffering from the same problem of MediaNet proxy settings. I've done the same changes asked by "shogunmark" which really sounds good logicaly. And my wifi connection started working miraculously! Yes, it is miracle for me as I am trying to connect to WiFi for last 3 days! Thanks a lot again...
I got it to work as well. However, I couldn't use "My ISP" connection as it was pointing to a Cingular domain. I ended up creating a new one called Home and it works fine. I do have a question. Under Settings/Connections/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks...
What does everyone have selected in both drop downs? I had to select my new Home connection for both to get WIFI to work.
that cingular domain/AP is only used for edge/3G data with no proxy.. this is why this is used for wifi.. theoretically MEdia net would work if it didnt have the proxy... but the phone doesnt look at the AP name when on wifi, only the proxy, you shouldnt have needed to create a new connection!

ok, so I should be able to keep Media Net on the top drop down and My ISP on the second drop down? I assume I should just be able to use the Comm Manager to switch between WIFI and the Cingular Data Connections?
hi,
im going away on holiday in a week and my contract will not let me have free data outside of the uk.
i have the official r3 uk rom and at the moment have emails, weather, currency updating through out the day.
if i turn data off through the comm manager will that stop the auto updates?(or will data come back on when it needs to auto update?)
if it does not stop all data is there software i can download that can?
Search for NoData.cab (or just NoData).

If I'm not wrong, nodata doesn't seem to work on WM6.5. Or well, at least it doesn't work on my X1 which is using itje's WM6.5.
not sure if it works the same way on wm65
but on other wm's
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
and pick my home network or my work network or whatever
it's called in that rom
that result in the device only being able to connect to networks
using wifi and activesync
You could also just delete your internet connection settings in settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections.

Use this handy little app. Just toggle off internet & wap so only wifi is available to you. If you want to reuse data connection just toggle them back on

Also, make sure in settings > connections > wifi > wireless networks > network adaptors > My network card connects to: is to to 'The internet'
and....
settings > connections > wifi > advanced > power mode is set to best performance.
This should also help with wifi connection

Always best to run connection wizard after flashing if not already run automatically.

Got my HD2 now on a T mobile contract, but i have issues with it connecting to some services. It wont update Twitter, or check my gmail, but the internet works ok. It just says i cannot connect with the current connection settings.
My orange SIM has no such issues in it and if i put the T mobile SIM in my HD it sometimes works, but not always.
Any ideas?

I just left T-mobile because the block certain ports so that you can't use various connections, such as msn, I was even having problems with mini opera, couldn't even install mini opera 5.
If you haven't already go in to you connection settings/set up my proxy server and un-tick 'this network uses a proxy server'. That should help with your email.

strange I never had a problem with YouTube.
T-mobile put that stupid adult lock on their phones nowadays. You have to ask them to remove it or do it through their website if you want to view pron or you-tube.
Maybe something, maybe nothing but T-Mobile in north Suffolk / south Norfolk has been down most of the day.
t-mobile is down. there are doin some major works on the mast. summat to do with the strong winds
Mine wont do anything to do with using the network to connect to the internet, including general browsing, it just says:
Cannot Connect
Dialed:
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again.
Any ideas?

Thanks so much, just found this - unblocked Twitter tab, and hopefully will iron out some msn connection issues. This tip should be in one of the main Leo tips threads (if it's not already).
It's true you have to call t-mobile to remove "adult block" so you can use youtube, or you can log in online and do it.
