Disable / stop / uninstall network wizard auto configure - Palm Treo Pro

My phone preconfigures a network when I enter a sim card. The sim setting would be correct for my provider, but I have my own network settings combining corporate and provider settings. The phone however kicks them out every time I start it up.
I just want to kick this wizard out, but HOW?!?! Can't find it in the registry etc.

You could try unlocking the extended rom and then deleting the carrier.pxp file that is in there. That would stop *any* configuration I think - but htat might be more of a nuisance if you end up roaming.
(This is a GSM-specific answer by the way. Don't know about CDMA)
John

Solved the issue by going into the registry. If I can't edit the wizard, I can at least kill it's configuration. Just look for the setup the wizard suggests and edit it to the right settings.

Could you tell me how you got that wizard disabled? You said, that you've bee in the registry. What keys are there to change?

disable connection setup
I had the same problem as well, and seeming there seemed to be no answer thought I'ld post where the keys were on my phone (HTC 3600i) this will be different for the palm but might give someone a starting point
HKCU\Software\HTC\Connectionsetup
On the HTC there are several keys that seem to relate to auto start and auto detect, I set them all to 0 and haven't had another problem.
Also just try searching the registry for connectionsetup thats how i found it.

odd GPRS problem

Hi,
my GPRS connection is working, it connects without any problem but when i try to navigate with PIE then I can see the message "Opening" on the left lower corner but it just stays that way for a long time and the page never gets displayed. My e-mail works fine so that means i have GPRS connection and working. If i try navigating to a WAP site some pages get displayed and some other don't. If i connect via WiFi or via activesync then i can navigate without any problems. Based on my observations I suspect a problem with the MRU (Maximum receive Unit) of the TCPiP stack but i can not find on the registry where to change that.
Hope someone can help.
I used Tweak2K2 to set it in mine. Sorry I do not know the Reg setting.

I wonder whether your HTTP proxy port number is correct. I had same problem and I was using the advertised port number until I discovered there was another one that actually worked. I would suggest a port number but I'm O2 UK (it was `advertised as 80 but only actually worked on PIE with 8080)

You are not alone
Please check the following threads, both are related to our problem, unfortunely none of them gives a solution.

My GPRS connection doesn´t require an HTTP proxy server so Mike´s suggestion didn´t work for me. I contacted Movistar and they are not open to give support since I didn´t buy the device from them....
On the other hand, if somebody can provide the ROM reg settings and a brief instruction on how can be changed would be great
Hi Luiggi
Sorry you have not got it solved yet. I remembered your post and looked for it but did not find it - hoped you had a solution to offer - sadly not
Edit: I suppose you are certain about the proxy? I ask because mine will connect to GPRS just fine without it - BUT PIE does not unless it's set.
Mike
Maybe it is a Movistar problem
Interesting, so happens that my service provider is also Movistar; maybe they have done something different to their network settings. Any way, I was in the US recently and was able to use GPRS roaming although because the TyTN does not differentiates between GPRS and EDGE it could have been that it was using EDGE and that it why i could navigate using PIE.
The funny thing about this problem is that my e-mail works fine and my SPB whether also updates without problems, it is only the navigation with PIE that i have issues with. Based on my observations it seems to be that if the tcp packet is larger that a certain size it gets dropped by the tcp stack.
Not lucky so far
Hi Mike!
Movistar people told me that the don´t need proxy servers for the connections since they use Dynamic IP addresses (?). I´ve have tried a lot of different configurations but not luck so far, the comment posted above could be they key, now the big question is: What are the proper settings and how to modify the reg...?
Will reflashing the phone be the only solution?
Well looks like the options are narrowing down to reflashing the phone.... I'll give it a couple of days more to see if someone can give Us a hint on what to do.

I´m not sure about reflashing, actually I have two 8525 I paid to SIM unlock the 1st one so I still have the original ROM 1.34.505.1 and the symptoms are the same, I don´t know what ROM would be suitable to "solve" the problem in case this would be causing the partial lock.
New Finding
I´ve been trying a lot of things and I guess I´m close to the root cause. I strated from scratch with a hard reset and giving a soft reset before the 3 sec secreen of auto configuration, then I tried to set a connection in my ISP, I named it "The Internet" and when I hit the OK button I got a message saying that there was an existing connection setting under the same name!!! I couldn´t find such connection, so I´m pretty sure that the connection is hidden somewhere in the ROM and we need to disable it and create a new one or modify the reg to address a different connection consistent with our own network.... Any thoughts on this?

I do have exactly the same problem: an MMS connection is missing but stored somewhere... Anyway to figure out where it is? To me, it's just a flag to change in order for it to re-appear in the \connection\connections tab...

I mapped that one in Cingular, the MMS settings are self extracted from the extended ROM, if you want to get rid of it just do a hard reset and then a soft reset when the 3 sec message shows up, hope this can help you

I went thru all regs and I couldn´t find MRU or LCP (Link Control Protocol) settings, what disturbes me more is that I put my SIM in my 8125 and everything (IE. messenger, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) works wonderful!! I think I´ll put on sale my 8525.......
More findings
I do have GPRS connection, no doubt about it. I install Tonaya Iper in my phone and the software gives the ability to trace the route from my phone to the destination, for instance The route to www.gmail.com (216.239.63.19)
is as follows (I set the time [email protected]):
1.- 10.15.14.78
2.- 10.2.4.20
3.- 10.2.4.134
4.- 200.36.174.81
5.- 200.39.31.42 (mx-mesr-rt1.telefonica-data.com.mx)
6.- 213.140.50.233 (So-2-3-1-grtmtyma2.red.telefonica-wholesale.net
7.- Request timed out
8.- 213.140.43.25
9.- 213.140.43.225
10.- 213.140.36.45
11.- 213.140.37.57
12.- 64.233.123
13.- 66.249.94.8
14.- 72.14.233.123
15.- 71.14.233.123
16.- 216.239.63.19 (bp-in-f19.google.com)
When I try to trace the communication with a 1 second timeout the phone stalls for a while in server 213.140.50.233 and makes the traceability extremely slow.
My conclusión is that when the communication reach the server 213.140.50.233 this cause a delay and my phone can not continue to the final destination probably because the pre set delay in the application exceeds its timout parameter.
Any suggestions?

Today I use a SIM from the other mexican cell company (telcel), I just enter APN, user name and password and in a blink my 8525 flew thru PIE, hotmail, MS messenger, Gmail and everything!!! Conclusion:Movistar system or set ups are causing all the connection problems, I´ve spent hours in the phone with their wonderful engineers and none of them has been able to explain why Movistar can´t give a decent service to 8525 users.
Using the Traceroute feature of IPer I notice a very long delay to ping the Movistar router located in Madrid (213.140.50.233), there´s where I think the problem is.
You are right Luiggi...!
One of the guys here at the office also has a Dopod 838pro (I'm ussing a HTC TyTN) but with Telcel instead of Movistar...the push e-mail capabilities and the internet surf are really very good ...but with the GPRS of Movistar I recive my e-mails very delayed in the phone and also still unable to sing in to MSN messenger.
Thanks to your post now I know the trut; I was really thinking that maybe the TyTN was the problem (I mean, the HTC branded because the Dopod was functioning just very fine) I was even thinking in return it...
regards
Hummm I suspected that....
Well I think we have (a winner) an answer (partially), I will go back to Movistar and complain, I may not get any results from it but I really have no options since because of my work I travel a lot and the roaming pricing I get with them is way better that the other alternative. The funny thing about this issue is that other HTC phones do not have it. A co worker has a Wizard and he can navigate with PIE. Maybe it would be interesting to investigate what could be the difference or why other phones can navigate and Tytn can't.
Wizard works great!

I do my living buying and selling phones and I guess next time (tomorrow) I get a Wizard for sale I´ll spend enough time going thru the registry and routes to compare it with the Hermes. Would you guys mind to run IPer and check if the afore mentioned router or server with the problem is common for all of us?
I already wrote a not very nice letter to Movistar, probably they are shocked because normally their tournaround time for an answer is less than 24hrs and this time is taking longer. Next letter I´m going to be addressing the Director or whoever is the top dog.
How do I get/ run the aplication mentioned???
I would like to help to figure out what the problem is or help you guys to get to a solution...so, where can I find and how do I use the software luiggi is mentioning??
Is it free or with a trial version???

Upgraded ROM for AT&T Question - Proxy

I upgraded my ROM the Cingular/AT&T 8525 the other night. Everything works fine now. However, apparently the wise folk over at AT&T have decided to add a registry key to PIE to check for their proxy. It can be disabled, however, each time the phone is rebooted, it re-adds the registry key. Any ideas how to fix this?
I have to keep changing the registry key each time I have to reboot. Here's a link I found that answers the question. The problem is, is there a way to completely eliminate the key.

How can I fix my WiFi problem?

I have not been able to turn on wifi reliably for ages now - It all started when I upgraded to WM5. Now (even if I downgrade to wm2003se) I cannot turn it on. I press the wifi on button, the cursor comes up but nothing happens), leave it for a couple of hours, and then press again - it will sometimes turn on. It then stays on for about 30 mins, and turns off (I have the wifi set to never turn off).
I cannot diagnose the problem - can you?
Any help GREATLY appreciated - feel free to ask for more details.

What you can do is to check the following keys in the registry:
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1
Both dword with decimal values. Next, when you made the changes, softreset and check if your wlan is working.
Keep us posted.
Cheers.

Thank you
The registry jack worked 4 me i don't know how to thank you really you helpde me a lot
No Luck..Need to USE THIS URGENT
I tried it but on Reboot My settings return back from
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1
RETURNS BACK to
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 0
___________________________________________
The other setting
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1
Stays same
And after that, have you tried to soft-reset the device ?
There's a good change if don't, the change won't have any effect just like on you're desktop/laptop etc.
No Luck

Of course, That's what I said that "I tried it but on Reboot My settings return back "
After the Reboot/ ie after the Soft reset.

I have the same problem.
the value change back to 0 after soft-reset.
I tried several times even waiting for some minutes before soft-resetting.
So it means ??
NO LUCK ??

@jeasbe: I just wanted to second your finding...
Actually I suspect some hardware/EEPROM issue like this (Hermes):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304004
this is my story:
1. Got the Dopod from the provider with Chinese ROM (living in mainland China at the moment). Did not test WiFi.
2. After strongly insisting on an English GUI I got an update to an English ROM from the provider. Since then no WiFi
3. Asked the provider about WiFi on my Dopod. He confirmed that it was not working but had been working with the Chinese ROM before.
.... (so excluded user problem but still no solution)
4. Decided to upgrade by myself assuming the problem lies in the ROM version.
.... Upgraded step-by-step with the various ROM versions to XM6 according to tutorial 'n checked for each ROM version for WiFi. Still no WiFi.
5. Installed the WiFi patch for the commgr. No WiFi.
6. Read about that registry hack. Values do not remain after soft-reset. No WiFi.
7. Colleagues have the same problem (but still with the English ROM from the provider). So will ask one of them to hand-in to the provider to change back to Chinese ROM in order to see whether WiFi is working with that setting. But doubting it
8. any other ideas appreciated ...
another thread with similar issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296936
It looks like the Hermes guys (Drummer) found a solution:

I found out that if you have a CHS version officially sold in China there is no WiFi feature in the phone - this rule applies for all models from any manufacturer.
I am not sure though whether it is really hardware (like missing the WLAN chip) or software issue (on a level below the ROM, because change to different ROM [incl. change of IPL/SPL and radio] won't help).

New ROM GPRS no longer works... (solved)

I just installed WM6 on my Wizard and can't get any data connection working on my phone. I have all the correct settings from my operator and have a set up the correct profile.
An other issue that I am having is that on every reboot the input settings are reset! I hate word completion and it always comes back.
EDIT: Solved
Why not put the solution here? Someone else might need it.

Internet Sharing....

OK I hsve looked all over these threads for the answer to Sprints Touch Internet threading issue. Ive tried deleting the registry that doesnt allow the drop down menu. I have installed cabs that modify the registry for me. This is a brand new phone with WM6.1 Could there be a fix to our previous way around this on the new phones? like an updated software that requres more that just that registry edit? Anyone else having this issue? Anyone been able to fix it?
Check the registry again for the proper name of your provider in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\ForceCellConnection=Sprint PCS
For weeks I suffered trying to correct my issue. Hard reset, following edits, making new connections etc. Then I noticed, my "ForceCellConnection=Sprint". Check your connection name. Once I discovered this and changed the name - all is perfect. I have used my Touch many, many times for tethering and it drove me crazy when it stopped working. Good luck!
I figured it out....... When deleting the registry, you need to soft reset afterward, THEN when your phone restarts, you run IE or HTC weather or something to open a connection, THEN you run Internet Sharing, select Sprint PCS and it will connect =) Finally a way around a brodband card, and whats sad, is that it ran at 1158kbps for download test, my home dsl only runs 1320 LOL!
