for some reason, my weather has stopped updating through my ISP connection. if i connect via wifi, it updates fine. so weird, any help would be great.
my ISP connection is set to AT&T ISP with access point isp.cingular.
btw I can surf fine with Opera and I can use google maps fine, but weather and now stocks won't update.
figured it out, it's wap.cingular not isp.cingular, the phone automatic setup puts in the incorrect setting.

I have a proxy setup to allow me to connect to T-mobile's internet. I noticed that when the proxy is enabled in connection settings, my wifi does not connect to websites. However, when I disable the proxy from my gprs connection wifi works fine.
Is this normal? Is it maybe a bug with the rom im using?
Normal.
...
I have searched everywhere and instead of starting another post on the same issue I will post on this one.
I have the same issue, and understand its normal. Is there a way around this because re typing in proxy settings just to go on gprs internet is a annoying and incovienent. I want to be able to go on wifi and have everything work fine. When I disconnect wifi I can then access the internet via gprs proxy.
AT&T included both an enable proxy cab and a disable proxy cab...
However Im in the process of moving and my main computer is down...
When I get it back up I'll pull those cabs off of the phone, perhaps they will work for tmobile..beats going into the connection settings...
After all of this I found a fix.

Someone should really sticky this because this helps so much especially since I like not having to pay for my T-mobile internet via the proxy. Now I dont have to delete the proxy. My activesync and wifi work flawlessly as well as GPRS Edge.
Hi,
I use my trin to check mails and surf the web every day - that is, I used to do that. A couple of weeks ago I went to UK (I live in denmark). Here I turned off data connections in the commgr until I came back home. I did use it with wifi connections over there.
After I got back home, it does not work anymore. I can connect the 3G data connection just fine, but it seems like it tries to send data via a proxy of some sort or DNS isn't working.
I did some tests with vxUtil (small network util) and if I ticked off "resolve addresses", it actually did traceroutes, pings and web catch etc. just fine.
I looked at the ip address of the DNS servers and they seem to be the correct ones (the ones I am automatically given by my network provider when connection to their gprs AP).
Does any of you know any registry settings or whatever that can have an impact on how I connect to the net and resolve addresses?
BTW: I also started the zsIRC client and it connects just fine. I suspect that it caches the IP address of the server and uses an identd to identify with.
All help will be appreciated (hard reset not an option)
Hi there,
I have a question about an annoying problem that I've only managed to find one (unanswered) question to on the web.
I am currently using WM6.1 and I use to read email from my Hotmail account, amongst other things. The problem is that the messaging client ALWAYS tries to download my mail via 3G/GPRS even when there's a WiFi connection available. This occurs both when I initiate the send/receive using TouchFlo 3D or from within the mail client.
Connection manager is, as far as I'm aware, configured correctly, and PIE/Opera/weather will all happily use WiFi to connect to the internet, only using my data connection when WiFi isn't available.
The same results occur with connection manager configured in either of the following ways:
Internet Connection = "My ISP" settings with 3G modem connection
Work Connection = Default "My Work Network" settings
WiFi Access Point = Connects to Internet
Network Card = Connects to Internet
OR
Internet Connection = "My Work Network" with 3G modem connection and "This network connects to the internet" enabled
Work Connection = As Internet Connection
WiFi Access Point = Connects to Work
Network Card = Connects to Work
Interestingly, if I disable my data connection and enable WiFi I CAN send/receive mail over the WiFi connection, so it seems like the data connection is being used in preference to the WiFi one.
Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?!
Thanks,
Mike
Known issue and it is a pain as I don't have any mobile coverage in the house but I do have a wifi network but can't sync hotmail through Wifi
Same frustrating issue here. Hate it.
Even tried the modaco nodata hack so that windows live didn't even know that I had data, and with wifi going great it just says there is no connection. Pretty retarded.
yes mines too there should be away to change this Setting.
This is a real pain for sure. But I have experienced that if I turn off the phone copletely and then connect to the internet via WiFi hotmail does sync via the WiFi-connection. Just thought that I would mention this as a possible last resort.
It may also give some ideas to people trying to fix this... shortcoming.

any Updates?
I have this same problem as well
The only way seems to be to turn your phone off and then use Wifi.
oh i will try it so basically turn the Phone on Airplane Mode
Originally I had the vodafone firmware and my email would only work through GPRS or wifi.
I reflashed with firmware R2A generic and it was working fine through both GPRS and wifi.
Randomly one day it just stopped working. I can now only access my email using wifi. I can't log into windows live unless i'm on wifi either, but the internet, google maps and dashwire all work using gprs
Email says
Error Syncronising
and i get a system message saying
Cannot connect wtih current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap settings.
But obviously I don't know what to change because the other things I mentioned work fine. I get the same problem if I start the data connection first
I would check in settings->connections->connections->advanced-select network
if the 2 dropdown are set to my homenetwork it will only use wifi to access
Please check my topic, i kinda have the same problem......

Hi there kind people of XDA.
after installing a new rom I encouter a problem with setting up my gmail account. It seems as if the HTC mail client isn't willing to work with my wifi connection and only working with the data (which is disabled).
when I send/recieve, it tells me that it cannot connect and that I should press - settings. After going into settings I have 3 options for my work connection.
the first one is where I think the problem is:
*add a new modem connection.
after I chose that I've been asked to choose a modem and I dont have a wifi ot the broadcom lan card. only bluetooth, cellular line, cellular line (GPRS) and hayes compatible on COM1.
Any idea?
go to settings, connections, connections, advanced, select networks. Then change the first setting to 'work'. I have a dutch version, so the names might be slightly different.
thanks but I already tried it. The problem is that when setting up a new connection I cant use the broadcom as the connection modem!
Now I know my phone isnt using the same network as you. I have only one cellular account that I connect to. For this example I will call it "My Connection" I have that set in Network management to be the default connection for the internet.
Now when I go to my email connection settings I can choose that connection or a few others. If I choose "My Connection" then the email will only connect though cellular data. But if I choose "Internet" then it will connect through both.
So when I have wifi present I can connect with email, mms, surf with opera, and update weather all through wifi. When my wifi goes down or gets turned off everything reverts to cellular data.
ditto - on 1.48 i get 'Internet' as well as the T-mobile internet and T-mobile MMS settings. internet seems to latch onto anything that has a public ip - and starts with wifi.
I have found that one thing which stops email sync is not wifi/HSDPA data, but rather the exchange domain setting disappearing sporadically.
do u have bsb tweaks the same thing happend to me and in bsb i had wifi disable go in bsb and enable it.
please see if at
