IE Connectivity Issues (Help)

So, I can't seem to find anyone that can help me. I have an 8525 with the official WM6 release. In December, a month after installing WM6, IE stopped being able to access webpages.
Whenever it starts, it loads the default AT&T/Windows Mobile home screen. If I click either of those links or type in a desired web address, it creates a data connection (sometimes 3G, sometimes edge), says "connecting...", locating... opening... and nothing loads. The screen stays white. I know that my data connection works fine, as I can use google maps, live mobile and send/receive e-mail. I'm not sure where the problem is, but I assume it is a setting issue. A couple days ago, I performed a hard reset and still encountered the problem. I have verified that my settings are per AT&T's posted recommendation.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I should also note that if I connect to a WIFI signal, IE works, so it is definitely a settings issue. I just can't seem to figure out how to correct it and I haven't been able to find anyone who could help either. Any assistance would be appreciated!
thank you

I have the same exact problem. I solved it by installing Opera, which works fine.

Try looking in start>settings>connections>connections
then advanced tab
go to select networks
on the first drop down, make sure you have at&t's media net selected.
Hope that helps

SOL(shadow of legend) and 5.99

hm....when i try to update or connect it won't connect...says it can't connect am i the only one?...i have .8.0 or something...i no its 8...anyone?

anyone? im the only one with this problem?

no idea but i may give this game a play.. i never knew there was MMORPG's for mobiles!
Thanks

it's a great game i have it running on my touch i have not had any real problems with it yet. The only time i experienced a connection problem was when i tried to play with the phone plugged into my computer. apart from that i make sure to connect to internet first(either opening Pie or e-mails) cause the client seems to not like opening when a connection to the internet is not active.

right, i dont think its my connection cause i go on the internet with opera all the time...i think that i need to edit some settings via reg edit so that the internet setting fro Shadow of legend corresponds to the proxy settings needed to go on the internet......i just wanna know if anyone else had/has this problem to or if im an isolated case

something weird happened after i hard reset

Hi i have just recently hard reset my HD and something weird happened everytime i try to go onto the internet. Before when i set up my device it will automatically set up the internet setting for me and i can go online without a problem. and now after i hard reset it will connect to the internet but it will bring the connection setup page up saying new connection setup database found do you want to install it? If i press yes it will start downloading but it wont complete. if i press no then it will just bring me back to the browser which i can still connect to the internet. is there any way to stop this popup from happening? Thanks

so no one knows why?

Click to expand...

Hi marktang - this looks like to me the connection database update from several weeks back. That makes sense if you do a hard reset - once you connect to the internet there is a HTC application or operator application in the background that does this connection database check.
It should be harmless to say download. I did it early in the morning and got a full download OK.
If you search here in the forums you will find a long thread about this subject. At first when everyone got the new database notification it was hard to get a full download.

thanks i got it.

Intermittent internet connection problem

Hi folks,
I have noticed an irritating, intermittent connection problem with a couple of XDA phones I've had. Specifically, I now have an HTC Touch Pro, and most of the time the internet works fine. Sometimes though, when I try to connect, nothing happens for a very long time, and eventually an 'unable to connect' message is displayed. Usually, I use Opera 9.5, which was pre-installed. But the problem also exists if I use the standard IE and also with Skyfire too. The message is different depending on which browser I'm using of course. But if one won't connect, none of them will, so I don't think it's a problem with one of those browsers. I should point out that when the browsers do connect, they stay connected. this problem only occurs when I open the browser and it tries to connect. I did have the same problem on my previous XDA device - O2 XDA Trion. I have found that if I perform a soft-reset, the internet will then start up nice and quickly on the first attempt, which I'm guessing suggests it isn't a network problem. Does anyone else have this experience? Does anyone know what might be causing it? Of all the pieces of software I've installed, there are few, if any, that I've had installed on both devices, other than the programs which are preinstalled. The only commonality between my previous device and my current one is the OS and the SIM card.

Are you speaking about your HTC PRO Wifi connnection or the EDGE/GPRS/HSDPA connection?
I also have issues with the data line not being connected or running the way you would think. I then pop over to wifi and all is good. I normally just turn off the data connection and reconnect.
Also, do you keep the connection permanently on data mode or do you let the phone log on for you?
My theory (this happens to me sometimes too) is that my phone connects to the tower and then gets timed out because of no data activity. The phone doesn't figure it out and simply shows a connection still. Then when you try to get data the phone is confused as to why the digital connection it thought it had was no longer active.
Props to me for making up **** and having it sound 2Legit2Quit.

I am talking about my EDGE/GPRS/HSDPA connection, and, now you mention it, yes, I think wi-fi works when EDGE/GPRS/HSDPA is not working. I'm not sure about that though. I'll have a go when it happens again. Which it will, very soon, because it happens all the time. It's annoying.
Thanks for your ideas!

PS: I didn't respond to your question about data mode. I'm not really too sure what you mean by that. I didn't know there was a data mode! In the Touchflo3D settings, under communication, there is a switch labelled 'Data connection. Turn off data connection.' But if I do turn that off, it just turns it straight back on again. I'm not sure that's what you meant though.

Can't share internet from pc to 8525 anymore?

I have an HTC 8525 and when i first got it, i was able to connect my phone to my computer through usb and browse the web from my phone using my computer's internet connection. Well, I had a software issue (incompatible app apparently) and had to hard reset my phone, i had to hard reset it when i got it to, so it wasn't anything new. After hard reseting and going through the initial setup again, i installed all of my apps (except the faulty one) made a few changes in "advanced config tools" like i had set before, plugged the phone to the comp through usb, and my phone continually tried connecting to the internet through my cell phone's data plan (i dont have a data plan, so it said the same old "check if your account balance..." or whatever it says) so please SOMEONE help me with this!!! (i do have activesync and i am able to sync my phone with my comp, and it's an htc herm100 running windows mobile 6 pro)

please help!!! and how do i change my phone's USB connection name? it has WM_ before my name now, it didn't when i first got the phone...
EDIT: I've gotten vTap to work but the internet (internet explorer) still won't load a webpage, it comes up "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later." and thats when i try to load google...please, i know SOMEONE on these forums can help me...dont be shy people, post somethin, anything that could possibly help, oh and i had to change my connection to "My Work Network" just for vTap to work...

i've found the "share internet" settings on my phone, i forgot that since the reset it wasn't defaultly available, but even when i get to there, i cant connect for internet sharing through usb, it has the option but i cant connect, i've been through toubleshooting options and everything both through my phone and activesync, i've been to microsoft.com and everything, still cant get it working, so can someone please actually try to help me around here? 81 views and the only responses are from me MYSELF making at least SOME bit of progress. If i wanted to just post my problem and get no answers i would've went to yahoo answers, now seriously, someone freakin help me, before i lose all faith in this website!!!
EDIT: i think i found the major problem, activesync, i can connect to my computer through activesync but everytime i try to transfer any files either the transfer will freeze or my phone auto disconnects from activesync, might not be my phone disconnecting, could be the comp and my phone recognizes that i'm not connected anymore, and can someone actually help me a little on this? i've tried completely uninstalling activesync, i've went through every option on my phone that i could think of, i've had over 100 views on this topic and still no replies, seriously?

i'm just using skyfire web browser now, i cant believe no one could help me, oh well...
