Suddenly PIE doesn't browse to websites! Stuck "Locatin

Enough is enough.
I had the same **** with my old PDA2K and now again with the Exec... I've spent 20 hours thus far on that ****. I just hard reset my machine yesterday and now again this **** happens and I cannot fix it.
I am surfing using UMTS/GPRS.. My definitions are FINE. There's only one connection. It was always fine that way on both the pda2k and the new exec.. but it stopped working now... it could be that some program messed up this ****, but i wouldn't know which.
Trying to browse to a site.. I get PIE saying 'Locating..." then after a minute or so saying "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded blah blah blah"... But the 3GUMTS is connected just fine.. Note that MSN Messenger doesn't work as well (I think that's because it's uses the core engine the PIE uses). Strangely, using networking utilities (vx) I can ping with the machine and even get HTML pages using web addresses. So the problem is not DNS and not a connection problem.. Just probably some damn problem with the operating system not recognizing something.. The 3rd party vxutilities for networking are bypassing that **** hence why they can browse the network just fine.
Tried deleting temp internet files and cookies nada... I also tried soft reset (about 20 times).. nada.... tried deleting the connection and recreating... nada... tried searchiong the registry for my connection name after deleted to see if traces exists.. nada...
Getting tired of this ****.. only hardreset solved it last time and i'm getting sick of becoming the machine's slave rather then the machine being my slave.
Help would be grately apprecaited..... I am sure it's ****ed up registry entry or something like that... I don't have many programs isntalled on my machine as I just hard reseted yesterday and my machine is in rather clean condition except for must have apps.
Help...SOS..

Check your proxy server info (in connections).
My XDA exec just loves to grab my work proxy server and try use that for accessing the web when wifi is active.

Thanks for trying to help...
but that's not the issue.. it's wwaayy deeper than that... ( i would have found it after 20 hours of trying had it been this easy ...
No proxy whatsoever. I never used Wifi. No work setup.. only "My ISP Setup".
anybody else? I'm offering $20 by paypal for the kind soul who can help stop my frustration WITHOUT hardresetting my machine or doing drastic moves. I need a permanent solution. If I solve it before so.. I will post my fix here...

UPDATE:
It's working now, though I don't like the solution, I changed in 'Connections' to connect through 'My Work Network' although I don't actually have any work network and I'm using it the same way I used the "My ISP" connection. It may stop working again though. i'll update.. but I still don't get it why the normal My ISP which always worked stopped working.

Are you, maybe, using the SBSH Weather?Are you, maybe, using the SBSH Pocket Weather?
For me the same thing started after I installed SBSH PW…

com'on someone please help me out here. i'll donate another 20 euro to this site if i find a solution... What I did yesterday (changed it so that it will use only the 'My work' profile both both internet and work worked fine.. but only for 24 hours. it now doesn't work again even after multiple softresets as well as deleting and defining the account again.. what a frustartion.
Now only that i cannot use PIE, I cannot use Terminal Server as well.. which is a bummer

Toggle flight mode on and then off.

Have ever try to remove check box of proxy in network tab? With mine it works.

proxy issue
I noticed the same thing on my wizard, I think it may be caused by an internet explorer automatic configuration script. When I manually provide the ip address and port number of the proxy server, the problem does not appear. I changed this in Internet Explorer running on my PC and in the Work connection on my phone. I have also changed the setting in Active Sync to choose the Work Network setting by default instead of automatic.
The only way I got Internet Explorer back to work was after a hard reset.
It did not happen again in the past 1,5 week. I have been restoring the same backup after each of these hardresets so I had an identical install everytime. It seems to be fine now.
I don't know how WM5 handles Active Directory policies (if it handles them at all) that may change your IE settings as well.

Re: proxy issue
"Check your proxy server info (in connections).

My wizard does the same, it will work for a week or so and try using some random proxy for no reason!
I just uncheck the proxy tick box and the wifi connection works great with internet explorer. (well usually I tear my hear out for 5 mins and then realise its the proxy!)

PIE stuck at Locating
Hi mobiler,
I hope you have found a more permanent solution to your problem. I own an MDA Pro with TMobile UK and recently bacame plagued with the same symptoms which you reported, i.e., pocket explorer and opera mobile stuck at locating and not able to browse the web. Through some helpful suggestions on this thread I managed to find a solution which you may or may not have already tried. Like most people, I use my MDA pro at home on my home wireless Wifi network, and while away at work I use its GPRS/UMTS capabilities. I had no reason to think that these two features of the MDA Pro had any interactions with each other. In fact, I seem to remember reading somewhere that separate pieces of internal hardware provide these features. However, to my surprise/dismay I discovered that somehow the Wifi and GPRS/UMTS settings on the MDA pro are linked together. For example, if you setup a proxy server in the GPRS modem settings, which I recently did, without notifying you the Wifi connection also tries to use the same proxy setting. Vice versa if you setup a specific IP address and Gateway in your Wifi settings the GPRS modem connection also tries to use those settings and failing. The solution for getting back to normal internet browsing was to remove the proxy in modem connection by using its automatic settings ,and to tick the server assigned IP address for Wifi. This is a less than satisfactory solution, however, at least things are back to where they were before. I remain very puzzled at the interaction between these features and am dismayed and frustrated that there is nothing in the step by step procedures in each setting that warn you about a possible impact on the other.

Running gmail mobile on Cingular 8525/TyTn

Hi,
I had a HTC Tytn and now have a Cingular 8525 on Cingular's UMTS network. I was unable to connect to google's gmail mobile service using either phone, the MIDlet manager simply gives me a connection timeout error. Wondering if anyone else has had this experience with either gmail mobile or google maps mobile? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

gmail midlet on tytn
can't get it to work at all on my tytn. It just crashes the micro jvm.

Tried it too, doesn't work.
After that i figured out how to fix the thing that was stopping me using gmail with POP in pocket outlook. Normaly, if you download a message it doesn't show up on another computer anymore, which is annoying as i also access gmail with pop on my normal PC.
The trick is to add "recent:" before your username in the user name field. Outlook then downloads all recent messages it doesn't have yet, not just new ones. So i'm happily using gmail on outlook with pop access now.

yes, doesnt work on Dopod 838 PRO.
installation was fine.
then during login process, simply kicked me out of the application.

I have the Cingular 8525 and the gmail java app works just great. No problems installing or using.

Gmail stand alone client
I have a JasJam that constantly crashed on loading the Gmail client but I fixed it by following the steps on this page:
http://www.cjmillisock.com/2006/11/how-to-get-gmail-mobile-for-your-t.html
It seemed to install over the top of the built in midlet manager without any problem or duplication of icons etc.
Enjoy the Gmail experience on your pda!

Gmail via MIDLet Manager works well for me on the 8525.
I initially did have some connection issues, and realized that it was because MIDLet Manager was trying to connect to the internet via wi-fi as opposed to through UMTS.
Anyway - I went to Menu > Choose Network Type and selected "MY ISP" and I've had no problems connecting to GMAIL or using the Opera Mini browser since.
Hope this helps...

Yep, same as the above post, except my 8525 was trying to connect via GPRS. No problems since then! Everything is working fine!

I had the same problem
By default, it was trying to connect via MediaNet which goes through the cingular proxy server...it would just sit there on the screen saying "connecting to service"...when it timed out, it gave me a chance to choose a new service. I chose MY ISP, which doesn't go through the proxy server, and it worked like a charm.

Activating WiFi -> launching QuickGPS -> Download...

I'm having the same problem and I am connected either by Wifi, Active Sync (WMDC6.1) or GPRS and still get the message "Connection Failed, Please try again later". I know ive got a web connection, cos i can access the web! I've raised call wiv HTC & will post back any reply I get from them but if anyone has any bright ideas. I know there is a manual workaround but would rather get to root cause.

If you're in WM5 you have to deactivate the advanced connexion functionnality (maybe not the exact name, I have a french rom). How to do it: go in settings --> tab "connexions" --> usb to PC --> deactivate the option shown
It worked for me, I couldn't access the net via activesync, now I can.
If WM6 I don't know, maybe the same.

Is it a matter of proxy settings ?
I have the same problem in my office. The web surf works but neither the weather update nor the QuickGPS update. Whereas at home everything is fine. The proxy settings made by the administrator filter the acces to the update.

quite some time ago i somewhere found this to help (seems to be win xp prob):
lsp value to be added to xp registry!

Mobile MSN

Hi guys i have an O2 exec with a WM5 ...but the pocket MSN isn't working..I downloaded Fring and still not working..I also downloaded the Windows live 10.6 of WM6.1 and sitll it didn't work..it alwys tell me make sure there is a connection..i think there is something wrong with the connections..although when Im connected by wi-fi i can surf the web with internet explorer..so if anyone could help me I'll be greatful..thanks

Go through: Start/Settings/Connections/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks and set the first drop down box as My Work Network and be sure your wifi connection is set as Work and not The internet.

still...
I don't have a "my work network" settings...what should I do ??...and that's because i use wap also..what should i do ...will downloading a new ROm be the Answer??

mmm... if you're using wap/gprs, try setting the above description from Scotchy fo MY ISP... that should be your user defined wap connection.... maybe this will help, maybe not, I don't have your OS.

IE is the only app that can connect to internet.

I'm hoping someone can help me. I have an AT&T tilt. I've had it for a year with no problems. Yesterday I tried opening Opera 9.5 and it just hung at connecting to media net. I tried a soft reset, I've tried removing the batteries and reinstalling opera. The problem still persists. I tried leaving it alone to connect to media net, and found google had loaded about an hour later. Unfortunately the browser was still non-responsive. After taking a look at other programs, I discovered, Internet Explorer is the only app that works. Even messaging doesn't, it hangs while trying to connect to download mail. I tried leaving it alone like I did for Opera an found it "logging on" about an hour later, but it was hung. I've also tried turning on WiFi, but Opera still cannot connect.
From what I can see, it looks like there's an issue connecting up to the network, however, I can't explain why IE can do it, but everything else can't. Does anyone have any idea or suggestions for troubleshooting this one?
Thanks in advance.

hi,
try this opera fix.

as for messager live .. good luck with that .. as far as I can see, the only solution is to do a hard reset and AVOID using the auto configurator in the email setup.
quote
" bad news for Windows live/ hotmail users is that they do not get the chance to select the network connection a windows live/hotmail account uses. On the very first part of the e-mail setup, as soon as you type in "[email protected], or [email protected]" , the account wizard completely takes over declaring that "settings found for hotmail.com". And even after you type in all your details you do not get to option to select the network connection to be used. (This is consequence of the fact that Microsoft Windows Mobile thinks it knows best how to configure microsoft based e-mail accounts for windows mobile.) The network connection that is automatically selected is called "The Internet". As you cannot select another network connection, you must edit "The Internet" connection so that it has the right settings for your particular mobile service provider. To do this"

But the strange thing is that I cannot find The Internet connection settings. So i cannot edit The Internet networking settings. Apparently, the end user is deem too stupid to know how to edit it correctly, so it's set automatically and hidden from view. Still investigating.
