i tried posting this question in the particular thread for the opera 9.5 version i'm running (15233) but for some reason opera is compressing images down a lot to save on data (i'm assuming) for example, an image that i save on my phone from a website which normally be sized at 100k on my computer, or on my buddies fuze running opera, will be 25k on my phone. so when or if i try to zoom in to check the details in the pic, or if there's writing in the pic its completely garbled and unreadable. does anyone know if there's anything in the settings under opera:config to fix this. i've check multiple times and can't find a thing.
Wrong section for asking questions, but I think its network related
There's a compressing proxy between you and the origin server.
You using Turbo mode by any chance?

actually no, the release i have was is at least 2 months older than any releases featuring turbo mode. but this makes perfect sense. i'll see if there's anything in my phone under the proxy settings under opera:config. by the way, i just downloaded you're gfxboost .6 this mornings, seems to make the zooming in opera 9.5 a lot faster/smoother...only downside is my phone freezes whenever i go into landscape now. looks like i'll have to uninstall.
ok...i'm not sure if anyone out there has is running on att...but these are the settings i have right now under opera:config--->cache
enable http 1.1 for proxy (unchecked)
enable start with http 1.1 for proxy (unchecked)
ftp server (wireless.cingular.com:80)
http server (wireless.cingular.com:80)
https server (wireless.cingular.com:80)
proxy servers (blank)
use ftp (checked)
use http (checked)
use https (checked)
use proxy on local names check (checked)
does this sound ok to anyone?

I've searched for this but can't find it - apologies if i've missed it!
Ok, the problem is at home my wireless works perfectly on the x1 - on the computer you simply set explorer/firefox to auto-detect the proxy settings, but at school where a proxy server (192.168.xxx.xxx) is needed, no applications will work via wireless on the x1, just by contract wap.
On opera I manages to find opera:config where i tried changing the http and https proxies (together and seperately) but whenever i look back at it these boxes are blank and unchecked - can anyone help?
Hello!
I own a htc diamond and want to access a wifi network that's using a HTTP proxy. I can connect to the network itsself. However, the proxy settings aren't applied or sometimes deleted when I disactivate and reactivate wifi. When I try it at home, it can still access the internet even if I set the proxy server. (I don't have a proxy server at home, so it shouldn't work then...)
With a iPod Touch/iPhone the following settings work:
Server: server-01.hak-reutte.ac.at
Port: 8080
I also have to authenticate using an username and password, but I think there's also a web form so it's not necessary to configure that in the proxy configuration.
Thank you,
Simon

If you use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Centre verify the connection settings are NOT set to automatic. If they are then the Proxy settings are overwritten each time you connect to your PC to sync. If you want to use a proxy over WiFi then you need to make sure your 'Work' connection settings specify the proxy and you need to configure the WiFi settings to 'Connects to Work' (or whatever it says, but NOT 'Internet').
Andy
Hi ADB100!
Thanks for your answer. The problem occurs even when I'm not connected to ActiveSync. Somehow the proxy server is reset when the WLAN is used. I tried the application WmWifiProfiles, but the problem is still there. When I set the proxy server and exit the settings application, the settings for HTTP proxy are somehow not saved. (When I reopen the settings dialog, the http proxy setting is blank, but the proxy for socks is still there.)

Simon

Do you have proxy auto-discovery on?
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
EnableAutoDetect=00000001
If its set to 1 then proxy auto-discovery is enabled, 0 is disabled.
I have no idea if it is this but worth a shot?
Andy
Hi ADB100!
AutoDetect wasn't acticated. (The key didn't exist.) I tried creating the key with value 0 and 1, but didn't help.
I think this must be a bug, because there are a lot of topics about this problem. Unfortuntatly, nobody seems to have a solution for this problem .
I tried changing the registry keys in HKLM/Comn/ConnMgr/Providers/. That worked, because the internet connection was dead then . I think it's possible to work around the problem by changing this keys. I will try that next week and when that really fixes the problem, I'll probably release an application for it.
However, do have some ideas left?
Thanks,
Simon
Bizarre....
I have never seen this on any of the Windows Mobile PDA's I have had.
I know if the connection settings: 'This computer is connected to:' are set to anything other than 'Automatic' then it resets any proxy you configure. I have mine set to 'Work Network' and the settings are never overwritten. I use a proxy at home and remember playing around with these settings as I had similar issues initially.
I know there is a known issue of the 'Hidden Proxy' if you let the device configure itself using the 'Connection Setup'. I have never let my device do this and have manually configured the HSDPA/GPRS settings.
Andy
Hi ADB100!
I've also aborted the connection setup, cause I didn't want my device to use HSDPA automatically.
I'm not 100% sure but I think my old device (HTC S730) had also some problems with the proxy, but I was able to solve them. Maybe it's also a problem with my ROM.
How stable/fast are the current RC builds of 6.5? Are they ready for every day use?
Thank you,
Simon

I haven't tried any 6.5 ROMs for any period of time as they all seemed too buggy. I am on an almost stock 5.2.19212 ROM that I have lightly customised in a kitchen and I am happy with it.

This is really annoying... When you search the forums for "wifi proxy" you'll get more than 10 threads with the same problem, but without a solution.
You are using a wifi router with proxy at home and it works, right?
I'll upgrade to 6.5 now, maybe this fixes the problem...

Truely amazing. I've upgraded to 6.5 and the problem is still there :-(. I've the radio from the latest official diamond rom. Could an other radio fix the problem?
//edit: Just to describe my problem further: When I set the proxy, exit the dialog and reopen the dialog, the proxy is there. When I open the internet explorer then, the http proxy gets deleted. However, the socks proxy is kept. This is kind of frustrating...
Thanks,

Read this one: http://www.htc.com/www/faqs.aspx?p_id=13&cat=0&id=36792 According to this article wifi + proxy should not work. What can I do now?
// Update: This looks extremly promising: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1990412#post1990412 I'll try that immediatly and post the results. If that works, I'll build an application to simplify applying the fix.

My status is too. Please help me!
It's a bug, that's sure. I finally got the proxy working, but after reconnecting the proxy settings were blank again .
Just to let you know I was also having problems with proxies and a google led me to this thread. For me, the advice in post 2 worked perfectly. I am using a 6.5 rom on a Touch HD.
Hi SivEd!
Did you also have the problem that your proxy settings get reset when you reconnect to the wifi network?
I've written an app that resolves this issue, let me know if you want to test.
Hi Anks!
Please upload your app, this is a real problem for me.
Thanks,
Simon
Simon, sent you a PM.
The problem seems to be fixed in recent Windows Mobile 6.5 builds, at least for me. I'm using build 21812. Unfortunatly, proxy authentification seems not to work in Opera. In Internet Explorer a dialog appears where I have to enter my username and password. Opera doesn't display such a dialog. But the main problem (proxy setting gets deleted) has been resolved.
HTH,
Simon
Has anyone been able to remove t-mobile's annoying image compression? When browsing the web all images are heavily compressed in browsers and ROMS that I've tried.
Apparently German tmob customers can change preferences online and usb stick users can remove it using the connection manager. Probably isn't possible, but thought it was worth asking
Using my phone as a modem (with T-Mobile UK) I use the modify headers add-on in Firefox. You can then change two settings:
Name: pragma, Value: no-transform
Name: cache-control, Value: no-cache
When they are both enabled you can get uncompressed images. I've never looked into why but it does work. Maybe that might be of use in some way?

I've seen this before, but there's no way to modify headers in opera via the usual opera:config page. Nothing else seems to work either.
I was with T-Mobile UK for quite a while and I never noticed any image compression but then I never used their proxy servers.
Do you still get this when not using their proxies?
I removed tmobs proxy settings from the connection. Via Wifi I get perfect images so I know they must have some compression running. The extra speed is great, but the compression is just too heavy for my liking.

I'm on T-Mobile in the UK and I hadn't noticed this until I've just read this thread. Now it is really annoying me. I haven't got any proxy specified and I can confirm that when roaming (ie not connected via Wi-Fi) Opera does indeed display compressed images (badly compressed).

Opera and IE as well (so it's clearly not the faulty of the browser).
t-mobile have had compression on web images for ages, it's annoying but hardly noticeable on my HD2
On my netbook it's really annoying but shift +R removes compression on a single image and shift +A removes compression on all images on a page.
Not tried the Name: pragma, Value: no-transform / Name: cache-control, Value: no-cache workaround but I've made a not of it and will give it a go.
Hmm
Have you dived into the registry to look at Network settings? Or Failing that, have you tried to set another proxy server? There are many available on the internet.
Other than that, I'm not entirely sure.
Some one much smarter will have a look at this thread and say something.
Also, believe me I don't mean this in a patronising way, but did you soft-reset after applying no proxy settings?

I think you'll find you did mean that in a patronising way but yes, I haven't been using T-Mobile's proxy server (or anyone else's) for the past 2 months, now - I had to deactivate it because for some reason it interferes with Outlook's ability to fetch email from my POP account. Switching it off makes no difference to image compression.
I did actually ring up T-Mobile tech support about this once, and was told that there is no way to configure an HD2 to prevent the compression - but they might have been wrong. I live in hope.
im on o2 and found compressed images too.
but it only happened after i changed from stock rom.
unless o2 has just started this recently i have to believe its a phone setting.
(made too many changes to revert back to stock rom for proof :/)
also noticed its only in opera an not explorer once the cache is flushed. and yes when using wifi it doesnt have any compression. so i think the phone is sending data telling the data provider to use compression.
with that said there must be a way to stop the compression.
anyone found the solution yet?

solved it ... the compression does come from the network provider and they can give you alternative servers
Tmobile compression is done on a transparant proxy between there server and proxy server. Thus dissabling the proxy does not actually stop traffic being routed by the transparant proxy.
I see there is some software provided by tmob for changing image compression when using their 3g dongle. I wonder if that will work on the phone, by using the phone as a modem you may be able to use your PC to connect to your account and adjust the compression setting.
Will have to wait untill im home in a few days and give it a go
for everyone on o2 you can disable the compression by changing the username for the mobile web settings, change it from o2web to bypass leave the rest of the information as it is. Clear the cache for your browser and reload and you should notice an improvement on the pictures. Might need to soft reset.
Is this still unresolved for T-mobile?

Did you speak to T-mobile to get the "alternative servers'? Can you share the settings that disable the compression?
Bump.
Interested in potential compression removal on T-Mob UK.
funnily enough I'm using my HD2 now as a modem and I went looking for this solutionagain. I'd done it last year on another laptop but couldn't remember exactly how to do it again.
anyway this solution from T-Mobile forums works great
If you use Mozilla Firefox you can make the browser do the job for you and disable the software that controls the images.
In Firefox go to
Part one
Tools > Add ons > Get Add ons > Click in the search and enter modify headers > You will get a few results, scroll to the one named 'modify headers' > Select Add to Firefox >Accept and Install > Install now > Click to restart Firefox
Part two
Tools > Modify Headers > Top leff drop down select 'Add' > Click in the name box (its next to where you just clicked to select add) enter this: Pragma > In the Value box (next one over) enter: Cache-Control > Click the Add button to the right (it will drop down with a green spot)
Again
Top left drop down select 'Add' > Click in the name box (its next to where you just clicked to select add) enter this: Cache-Control> In the Value box (next one over) enter: No-Cache> Click the Add button to the right (it will drop down with another green spot)
Part three
Bottom Right Hand Side click 'configuration' > Under General tick 'always on' > Close the box
Then Clear the Cache and History in Firefox and restart the Firefox and hey presto, clear images.

If I remember correctly when I was in Metropcs and with my Hero, I had to use a proxy server and in order to see the option you need to install BetterCut or Anycut and browse for the Proxy app
here it is.....adapt to your needs
8. Install BetterCut or AnyCut on your phone and open it Press New ShortCut And Go To Activity It make take a couple of minutes for it to appear but when it Does Go down to Proxy Setting and Click It. It Will Ask for a Name make it whatever you want to. It should say shortcut created sucessfully. Go to your Home Screen and it should be somewhere on there press it and Edit it For Cricket It should be HostNAME: wap.mycricket.com And Port Should be 8080 and for Metropcs HostName: wap.metropcs.net and Port Should Be 3128.

Hey everyone!
i was just wondering if there is any way to enable wap for applications in x10?
we can only use the main browser through wap...!
we can't use timescape or facebook or ebuddy or marketplace, track id or any other application.
any solution for this?
Thanks
By WAP you mean GPRS connection right? I'm using it for everything except Youtube when WiFi off
Have you set the GPRS setting? Or just do auto settings under mobile network settings?
I read on an other forum that there were people who had the same problem.
As I like to buy the x10, I'm really curious what might cause this. Unfortunally I haven't got a reaction on my question.
So I you find a solution, can you post it here?
Thx

no, by wap i mean wap. Gprs is a complete different thing. In my country GPRS service cost 25$ for 250mb only.
wap is already unlimited for 5$ only. And i was using wap connection on my iphone (browser, opera mini, push/email, ebuddy, marketplace/itunes).
Now i cant use WAP with any of these applications! only the default browser is enabled. any solution ? :s
GPRS is a connection type, like WCDMA or CSM.
WAP is more like HTML, a data type. The default android browser can't display WAP formatted pages.
Do you mean dial up internet?
Wap is a gprs connection that uses a proxy server with a port: 80 or 8080
it is clear now ?

If you are with Rogers would you mind giving me a hand how to set it up for WAP on the default browser? Just a list of the settings will do. I tried different APN settings from various online sources and the settings from my old W810 but I couldn't even get browsing to work! I tried setting Opera Mini to use HTTP instead and of course nothing works. The unlimited browsing only plan I have is simply a waste at the moment. Thanks!
EDIT: after trying a few things I was able to get the default browser working... but no, the other apps don't work with WAP... not even if I set Opera Mini to use HTTP.
ok, i was having this problem too and i found a way around it.
you have to go to your APNs and edit the APN you are using.
go to the port tag (should be labeled as 80) and erase it making it blank.
save>restart your phone, everything should work fine.

Tried this and only the default browser works...
I have experienced the same issues as described above,
if the default browser is working correctly however stand alone apps fail it may be the APN used has restrictions disabling the use of non-browser data traffic, commonly networks will have a minimum of 3 APNs, e.g WAP, MMS, and Internet.
On this basis I would recommend you ask you provider for the details of thier internet APN (commonly used when using your phone as a modem or email account access) and test accordingly.. if everything works this would confirm restrictions are in place, and a requirement to use an unrestricted APN for full functionality.
As noted different APNs may have differnt charging structures, hence the limitations sometimes when using wap apn access.

The port for my APN (Japanese version) was left blank by default, but I couldn't access my hosted email and website on the X10. Every other website and email worked fine. When I added 80 as the port, I can now access my hosted email and website without a problem.
I'm happy that this seems to have fixed it, but does anybody know why setting the port to 80 worked for me but gave problems for others?
