So I have my vogue fully flashed to cricKet - data and all - works fine. I then loaded Android to the mSD card and most builds I find work fine. I was able to edit the default.txt with the needed username/password info - then went into the connection settings and edited the APN for "Android" to reflect the correct proxy settings and user name - left most of the stuff as it was - and I got data working fine now.
My problem is this:
I cant sync my Google Account. It will never connect. So was wondering if anyone had any info on this.
My theory is that its connecting the same way in which WinMo would connect to an IMAP or POP server for Outlook. cricKet will not allow that some how - even though exchange sync works with google. So I'm thinking that may be the cause.
I attempted to go into DevTools and use the Googe Account option to see if there as anything in there to mess with but i would receive and error and it would terminate before I would even see anything.
Is it possible to add a proxy/port setting in defulat.txt that might help it? (I know you cant do that now, but wondering if someone added it in the code if it would help at all)
Again I'm not sure if this is the cause for it not connecting - just trying to find a group of people who may be doing the same thing I am.

Anyone know how to setup an email account on a Hermes? And what the settings for Rogers are? Tech support gave me a MyMail data plan but did not tell me how to set it up.
Anyone?

Thanks for the link, but thats specifically for MyMail. Currently it isn't an active service right now (I added it and they told me it was really availible yet). But I have the data connection, so I mostly need to know how to setup a direct POP3 connection and my own data connection for that matter. Everythign I find seems like it doesnt match my situation.
I don't understand what you're trying to say... if you have the data... you don't know your pop3 settings? For what account then?
I've spent quite a few hours scouring Google to try to find an answer to this and not a thing has worked. I cannot send nor receive any kind of MMS message. I've tried installing all different types of Arcsoft .cab's as well as changing the registry, etc. The closest I've gotten is a message saying "Message will download next time you connect and receive e-mail"
My phone was able to do this before when I first bought it (used) but has not been able to since performing a hard reset. Obviously the previous owner had something going on which I did not. Is there anyone who can point me in the direction to a solution?
The "other" is that the MusicID program does not work. It likewise worked prior to the hard reset, so obviously these two are missing something similar.
Please let me know and thanks for any insight =)
Can you get online at all with internet explorer? It could be that you have lost your network connection settings. What network are you with, in what country - someone may be able to point you in the right direction.
connecting with I.E. is no problem. I'm with Verizon and I'm in the U.S.
Have you set the MMS server settings? Open Text messages (or email should work), select 'Menu' (right soft key), select 'MMS Options', choose the 'Servers' tab and then select the MMS profile you want and choose 'set as default'.
I'm not sure if this setting is part of ArcSoft MMS (I have this installed), but my MMS problems were resolved by doing this.
If you need to know how to set up the GPRS profile for MMS you should be able to find how to do that via Google.
Good luck.
the only GPRS profile i'm finding is for nokia and sony ericson phones. i found the menu you were talking about but i'm not exactly sure what to do with it.
i don't have a data plan so i'm not exactly sure what to set as my internet connection.
sorry for being such a noob but i do not have much knowledge about phones.
Hi,
I've recently flashed from the Compact V rom to the latest stock rom.
I've managed to re set up the data connection and am able to connect to the internet through T-Mobile, however, I cannot connect to my yahoo account any more. I just get a message "Error Synchronizing".
I've tried resetting the settings and recreating the account to no avail.
You can send the settings to your phone on the T-Mobile site via SMS, however, the messages are not being received to my phone, the first one comes through saying "You will receive another message shortly, enter 1234 as the PIN" but the 2nd message never comes through.
Has anyone else has the same issue?
Thanks
i had or have the same problem. you need a .cab called tmobileukfixed or t-mobileuk it sends you the t-mobile settings so u can use the mms as well. ps if you getting low signal ie gprs then that has been my problem before and i think it rom specific although im not an expert.
I find unchecking the 'uses a proxy' in the connection settings allows me access to more, like Live services etc
T-Mobile also
WasStoNed thanks, this resolved the issue.

Thanks for the file!! Did this solve the problem with some text messages not being sent aswell? I seem to be OK to send to some numbers, but not others.
Dont know if its network related or not.
The 2 issues with sending messages and error sync are not related, the error sync is caused by the proxy settings box becoming ticked and the 149.xx.xx.xx ip becoming active this is tmobile public address transaltion server, just un check the proxy box in settings if the problem occurs!!
Hi everyone
I have searched through numerous forum post and development websites to find these answers (has taken a couple of weeks, with no help from $&% Telstra), so I thought I would put them all in one post. I don't take credit for any of the work arounds, I just figure there is a lot of individual posts without the answers in one spot.
Tip 1:
Don't use the default GMAIL settings as this doesn't allow you to actually specify to connect to 'The Internet' and is default set to Telstra Internet (was for me anyway). There is a good step by step guide on the GMAIL website - create a new acounnt but the key is to not enter gmail.com as your email address as it automatically detects the settings and masks/blocks the advanced screen. By following this, I could then have GMAIL on my WiFi with no data plan enabled (long story)
Tip 2:
Do this to configure a new Telstra Data connection as the default one can't be modified:
(link to be approved so msg me and I will send in mean time)
However make sure the 'This network uses a proxy...' part isn't checked, opposite to the guide on the above link.
Doing this actually meant my GMAIL could now connect using the DATA plan but by default used the WiFi when it was connected.
Tip 3
The ActiveSync and Exchange part is by default configured to Telstra's dedicated email plan. On my phone there was actually a PDF on the storage card about this and also a step by step guide on how to configure your ActiveSync/Exchange to connect through the normal internet, not through Telstra's plan. However, as I have seen many similar examples on the internet, following this procedure was great except the settings would not save. Changing from 'Dedicated' to 'Internet' never actually accepted.
I was determined to figure this out, so installed a registry editor. With some snooping I found enough information to be dangerous and did some searching, and found this link:
(link to be approved so msg me and I will send in mean time)
If you go to the bottom about Network Registry Settings, the key one is:
HKLM\System\ActiveSync\SyncAPN
By changing this to 0, my 'Internet' setting would save for the ActiveSync/Exchange and sure enough, connection to my exchange server was succesful.
CeRegEditor is the program I found really simple to use.
Tip 4
Install these two free applications for Data Connection management
Good for Enabling/Disabling Data Connections - DataController.CAB
I don't fully understand the full power of this one, but it is good to see what is happening and has an auto disconnect: BandSwitch.V2.8.CAB that is mentioned in the registry tips/tweaks section, tip 50 or somewhere there abouts.
Tip 5
Cookies Home Tab - sensational!!
Tip 6
Unlock the quicklinks (plenty of posts on how to do this) and also remove the non-used Telstra Home-Tabs (well I don't use them as they always have a wap redirect to m.bigpond.com)
Tip 7
If you are facebook user, check out the 'touch' version. Go to m.facebook.com and down the bottom there is a link to facebook touch
So that is about it for now, following all the above, after a hard reset worked a treat without having to install a non-telstra ROM.
Hope this helps, like I said, I don't really know all the details of the work arounds, more just posting them all in one spot for future frustrated people with the Telstra version. I am loving the phone now (also have followed other registry tips from this site).
Happy using and massive thanks to all of you who actually did figure out the solutions!
Jason
Thanks for this.
The Dedicated/Internet drop down box does work without the reg hack but it resets itself back to dedicated.
I found also that I had to make a new connection to telstra.iph for activesync to stay connected when the screen was off.
Woudl greatly appreciate if you could send me the missing details above. I have not managed to get WMDC to recognise the phone yet so can't, and not keen to yet anyway, replace the Telstra ROM.
i get "Access Denied" when i try the registry hack, anyone else come across this?
I did get that, within the Registry Editing software there is an option to unlock the registry, once you do that you can then change the settings!

Problem with Telstra Connection

Hello, I have the Telstra T9193 here in Argentina and I want to use with other internet carrier, I configured the connection and Internet is working fine but I can't check the emails....
So I think that the problem is the default Telstra connection, maybe only the ROM permit use this connection to check emails.
Could you know something about it?
Thanks
Hi Diegogleo
Which email are you trying to check? Webmail like GMAIL or Hotmail or a separate pop3 account?
If it is hotmail, the default windows live setup seems to work fine.
You have to change the settings of your email account to use 'Internet' not 'Telstra Internet' (or whatever pre-programmed data connection might exist). That way, when you are in WiFi or using your Mobile Providers Data, you can pick email up.
If it is exchange mail, you will have to do the registry edit above.

Hi Jason...thx for the GMail solution. Still haven't gotten it to work and it is most frustrating. I have another question...what is the correct procedure for installing these .cab files? Again...something else i've tried and doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers

After reading tons upon tons of answers for how to make MMS work after switching carriers (was on Rogers, now on Koodo) I still have yet to figure out how to make my MMS work...
What I've tried:
Soft Reset
Hard Reset
Official Network Profile App
Officially Developer Unlocking Phone
Using "Samsung Tools"
Acessing Root Menu and changing "AutoDataConfig"
My current Diagnosis version is 0628 (just reinstalled earlier - so... most recent?)
And my WinPhone is on Mango 7720
I apologize if perhaps you've answered this a lot, but I honestly have spent the past 5 continuous hours trying to figure this out (plus, many before)
Thanks for any help and suggestions!
Your Diagnosis is most recent (that's release date in MMDD format)
If you have any manual APN added, uninstall Network Profile, delete those and try again.
Thanks for the response!
Deleted Network Profile and all xap programs...
reinstalled Samsung Tools
Restarted...
Still doesn't work :/
Retry installing/using Root Tools...
Restarted...
MMS still won't send or download
Is there someway I can put in the exact information myself? Instead of it trying to automatically sync on startup?
(I'm with Koodo and they give exact settings:
MMSC URL: http ://aliasredirect.n et/proxy/koodo/mmsc
Proxy server: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80
any way to type that in somewhere?)
Try this. Pasting here fore search reference:
By default WP7 device configures data and MMS settings for the SIM card used on the first boot. If you change the SIM card you can manually change the APN for data, but for MMS settings you would need to reset the phone to initiate the automatic configuration. To reset the phone go to the System page under Settings, tap about, and then tap reset your phone.
Important note: Reset erases all user data from the phone. You must synchronize information using the Zune software or manually back up data before performing this step.
If this doesn't work either, try adding your settings in the APN (settings, cellular, add apn)
Yea, that was one of the first things I tried "Hard Reset"
I assume my Koodo SIM card doesn't like automatically syncing?
EDIT: Yep, Just did another hard/full reset (This time through diagnosis app) annd MMS Still won't send or receive...
(and then once again developer unlocked, tried Samsung Tools, tried Root, and then tried the official Network Profile app - nothing.)
Welcome to the club ! I've been trying to get my Focus to work with FIDO for better part of 7 months. Texting and MMS just does not seem to be configurable with the Rogers Samsung Focus. To the point that I'm now selling mine on Kijiji. Any takers for $200 ? I'll deliver anywhere in north Toronto area!
This is the one of the reasons I am not yet ready to jump to WP7. I have AT&T focus and I use StraightTalk pre-paid. I could never use MMS on it. So, went back to my Xperia Arc even though I love WP7.
I tried all methods OP tried already and gave up. I can never get why MS did such a dumb thing of not having a function to manually add settings. This is going to be a pain in countries like India as people switch SIM cards all the time when they cross state borders.
Im having the same issues with TELUS as well... It sometimes actually works but is really unreliable.
