Internet Issues on some applications - Touch HD General

Hello,
I'm using my HD since it was released without major issue.
But since yesterday I have some issues with the internet connection over WiFi. I'm not using the connection from my operator because I have no data option and 1Mo cost about 10CHF (a bit less than 10$US...). The data connections are blocked by GPRS No Data (and HD Tweak there is the same option) it was working perfect till now.
I'm connected to my WiFi connection (I've tried at home and at work), and I can update the weather without any problem, I can also use the YouTube app, it's working fine. But others programs cannot connect, like Opera (very annoying), RSS... Also no more working with Facebook app, I've just installed it yesterday, and I had to install it with the USB connection because opera wouldn't connect (it's at this time I've notice the problem). When I've tried the facebook app yesterday it was working ok but a bit slowly, then today I've tried again and it's not working at all...
And the error message appear very quickly in all cases, like it didn't try to connect at all.
The problem should be somewhere with the connections settings because yesterday I was trying to configure MMS as I was not able to get it (and I'm still no able but I'm barely not using it), I'm pretty sure to set it back like before but it's so bull**** with all these settings everywhere.
I've tried a lot of thing, I restart many times, what can I try before the hard reset (I'll do it only if there is no other way because I've installed so many things on it, and I don't have time to do it again now).
Thanks in advance

Try a couple of things:
1. Go to Settings > Connections > Wifi > Wireless Networks > Network Adaptors and set 'My network card connects to' to The Internet
2. Go to Settings > Connections > Wifi > Advanced > Power Mode and set this to best performance
Soft reset and then let me know if this works

I had already try these step (except the performance/battery setting).
Anyway I was trying another time, I really don't know which change resolve the problem but after changing something for the X times I try Opera and it was not working, then I try the weather, it was working, and then Facebook app, it was working, and then ActivSync was able to sync my exchange data again and then opera was working again (without restart).
It's very stange and I don't like not to know what was the issue and even why it's working again suddenly... Maybe conflict between special app like Advance config, HD Tweak, Diamond TF3D Config, ChangeScreen, Lumos, ...
But now I don't wanna try to change anything since it's working correctly.
Thanks for the help by the way.

internet explorer / connections woes

yes, i have opera too, but this is sitll pissing me off.
i've been messing around with my vario II to have it be online both through my corporate firewall/proxy as well as on a normal internet connection.
something messed up. now, internet explroer no longer connects. i've tried numerous methods:
1) wireless (802.11) - says page not found, even though every other app works
2) 3G - says "locating" for like 30 seconds then says page not found
3) bluetooth/activesync - immediately shows a page under construction website, even if i'm opening google. this is for every site.
any tips?
something seems to have disappeared from my "connections" settings - now i no longer see the work connection / option to configure proxy. all i see now is my default "home" connection which only give the options "add a new modem connection" and "manage existing connections".
everythign else works fine.
any ideas?

I had exactly the same problems -- for weeks (although not with opera).
Called half an hour ago and got HSDPA enabled on my line.
Now works like never before!
I'm having the same issue, except that PIE WILL work with wifi, but not EDGE/GPRS.
Every other app works fine (Opera, Google Maps, etc) via wifi and EDGE/GPRS.
this may be unrelated, but when I had activesync on the pc set to 'automatic' instead of 'work' it would push proxy settings to my phone. verify this has happened by putting *.* for exceptions. if you can surf then, you have a proxy set up due to activesync from your work pc. some of my connections didn't show the proxy, but in the registry it was there. setting work pc to passthrough=work rather than automatic stopped this from happening again.
hope this was clear enough.

Thanks for the suggestion, but its still a no go.
It just boggles the mind that PIE doesn't work through GPRS/EDGE/3G but every other internet enabled app does... and that PIE will work through WiFi makes it even more strange.. Usually its the other way around for most people (problems with WiFi, not their mobile data connection).
I've even run the \windows\welcome.exe a few times, as this seems to have fixed it for some others.
I've also tried switching to wap.cingular (MEdia net), hard coding openDNS servers as well as the old standbys (4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2).

VPN over GPRS/3G

Hi there,
I have a serious problem which I need to solve because it is crucial.
I've used VPN for very long time without any problem with my Trinity.
Few days ago I tried to connect my VPN and the phone just continue to dial forever. The connections application in Settings became inresponsive i.e. I was unable to cancel the dial. After several soft resets and many swears I found that the GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection work perfect and the problem is not the network. I test the VPN with my PC and it worked too. I've deleted the settings from the connections panel and from the registry itself and recreated it all again. No luck at all.
I've totaled my options ... so I'm asking anyone willing to help with this issue.
No specific network applications are currently installed on my device except WMWifiRouter. I've tried Hamachi but it is now uninstalled. The VPN was working perfectly with or without WMWifiRouter & Hamachi. I'm sure of it.
I have a similar Problem, try this: delete all your WiFi Settings and reboot then the VPN over GPRS will probably work, till you connect to any WiFi next time..... I am also stuck in the next here.
I hard reset several times while it start working again.
The problem was not the wifi because after first few HR (they delete everything) the VPN was still not working.
This was a mystery for me.
P.S. It seems that this OS was written in the breaks between classes by retarded students. Although it has no real alternative for the moment.

Wifi and data connection settings not permanent.

This is a very peculiar problem i am facing in my hd2. The wifi connection settings as well as the data connection settings keep on changing automatically. At times after restart they work perfectly fine and stop otherwise automatically especially after a power failure , when the router rests again , the internet cant be connected.
Any help ??
Aloqa
have you recently installed a programme called Aloqa from Marketplace?
I did and this has caused issues with my WIFI and Data connections getting all messed up.

Aha, interesting!
I too am having problems with my HD2 randomly enabling data connection by itself and it's only started happening since I installed the 1.61 rom and/or Aloqa, however I uninstalled Aloqa a couple of days ago and it's still happening... ghosts in the machine! I would hate to have to hard reset especially since I spent hours setting up my phone with icons etc. and I'm otherwise very happy with it. Hope there's a resolution to this issue.

Did you install hTC taskmanager?
There must be a registry hack.
Any solution to configure the GMS/UMTS Data-connection as permanent (useful for Voip)?
I am now testing this nice program here

Wi-Fi connectivity issues

I am experiencing a couple of annoying issues with my new HTC HD2. Most of which seems to have coincided with my old O2 number being ported over to T-Mobile. Prior to this I had a temporary number and all settings seemed to work ok (although frankly I cannot recall to be sure). Once the number was ported everything went a bit mental, I could not connect to any internet app via Wi-Fi and various searches boiled this down to an erroneous proxy server setting which once removed resolved my problem. I also had an email issue which I partially resolved by deleting my account and setting it up again from scratch. The two issues I am now left with are a bit odd.
When connected via Wi-Fi neither ie6 nor email will connect - it seems to be that neither of these applications will fallback to wi-fi if there is no mobile coverage/connectivity. To clarify, I have deliberately turned my phone radio off to test it purely with wi-fi - with both apps I get the "cannot connect" message where it prompts me to check that mobile service is available and I am not in flight mode etc. So clearly it is not willing to use wi-fi even though it is connected and I can use Opera with no issues - this does not seem to impact any other application. I wonder if there is a registry issue that is stopping them from using wifi.
I can get round this temporarily if I go into settings>all settings>connections>connections>advanced>select networks and then change "programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" from "T-mobile Internet" to "My Work Network" however this only reverses the issue i.e. they then work with wi-fi but not on mobile internet (with the added issue that all other internet apps will no longer working on mobile internet) - so this is hardly a satisfactory resolution.
I have had a bash with various other settings but nothing seems to work - has anyone else experienced this issue?
is the option "the internet"available? that would make the app use whatever connection is available to the phone.
as far as the number being ported starting this I'd be tempted to backup and hard reset.let the phone pick up the sim with the new settings from fresh.
Thanks for the prompt response. I have checked other options and whilst there are others none of them are configured. The fact that other applications happily work under either wifi or mobile internet would seem to imply it is just these applications that are being a bit obtuse rather than any of the connectivity settings.
I guess I may have to hard reset - although I am not convinced that the SIM would govern connectivity settings of microsoft applications.
Just noticed QuickGPS does the same thing i.e. will only connect through mobile internet - it complains it cannot connect if I try through wi-fi only.
bl**dy hell - Google Maps does not work now either!!!!!!!!!
lol, one problem breeding others, it's a "feature" hehe.
Ok i'll shut up now.............did a hard reset and all seems good for the moment at least. Frankly I clearly should have bowed to your better judgement LOL
sometimes its the best first thing to try. once you have done a few they only take 20 30 minutes, you can spend hours with network problems.

Wifi not working

Creating a new topic, because the other one is tagged as solved, but it doesnt solve my problem however.
So my wifi is not working, it's connecting to any wifi hotspot but not sending data thru that, which ends in failing loading any pages on IE, cannot download any apps from market and so on...
Anyway this is what I tried so far:
1. Flashed to stock rogers (also tried different Tango roms)
2. Did hard reset procedure via hardware keys (Format all Yes)
3. Did hard reset procedure via About menu
4. Did hard reset procedure via Samsung Diagnosis code sequence
5. Logged to my wifi network, everything looks fine at this point.
6. Opened IE and entered google.com:
"We're having trouble connecting to this webpage" (sometimes no error message but white page with scrolling bars appearing on touch)
7. Tried to access my wifi router via IP address (192.168.1.1) - the same results like above
8. Tried to ping my Samsung Fous IP (192.168.1.18) from my PC with success
9. Disabled wifi network security on home wifi router, the Focus still not working
Additionaly tried a method that fix issues with wifi after using latest wp7 tools, but it didnt help at all.
When using my providers APN there is no problem with opening pages on IE etc., but it's not Wifi.... Internet is also working if I have USB cable plugged in, but again it's not wifi.
Cannot use warranty, the phone is from the USA and I'm in Europe... without any warranty service.
What else I can do, maybe there are some diagnosis codes that can actually help with real diagnosis on what happened with wifi on my phone?
Hello again (from the other thread). For completeness, add the following:
- current OS version
- did/not use WindowBreak
- when did the problem start (if you can identify an event and OS version/revision) - or you noticed
There might be a test for wireless in the "diagnosis codes"... Good luck!
After you use the diagnosis fix, it might take some time, mine didn't work immediately but after some time, it detected my home network. But it seems you are able to connect but internet does not work, this is certainly issue with router/DNS settings in your phone, because I have faced these problems in iPhone, it might wrongly mapped to unreachable ip, but never faced this issue in Windows Phone, you might try changing the default gateway/dns settings, you should also reset your modem/router, and try basic setup before WPA/WPA2 setup

Hi there
Currently using 7.10.8773.98, (MAGLDR 2.0) but tried different versions, even vanilla pre-mango ones, they didnt work well with wifi on my phone either. I checked it at friends home wifi, which is totaly different network and routers.
I never used WindowBreak, never had to because my phone was already unlocked long time ago with ChevronWP7 application.
Noticed the problem about 2 weeks ago, but I didnt use wifi too much, so it could started much earlier. Last installed application was WP7 Tools 0.8 alpha, and all I did back then was using some built-in tweaks (3G?) if there is any, cant remember to be honest but for sure I wasnt editing registry or anything like that, I just play some games from time to time, cant event tell why I installed it, maybe because I noticed there is a new version. I cant tell because I never paid attention to it especially with rare wifi usage at a time.
I have isolated the problem I guess, and it's not the phone's fault. Something wrong with the main access point (Mikrotik) at my place. This is weird because everything is working just not on Samsung Focus. I digged thru many options and couldnt find anything that blocked or stuff like that. Well took it to totaly different place and another wifi network, and guess what - it's connecting to wifi with data flow...
Anyway consider this topic as solved.
