WiFi and proxy

Hello,
I have HTC Touch, and I'm trying to connect to wifi with ISA proxy.
First, I connected to home wifi (no proxy) and accessed internet without problem.
At work we have Radius etc. but I also connected, and I can surf to pages inside company (no need for proxy), but I can't get out to internet.
Any suggestion would be great!
tnx
small update: looks like I was surfing at work through usb cable, not wifi. But now I can't even connect to wifi at work, which I could before. Funny things going on, I'll reset.
Update2:
Newest status is: wifi connected, can surf internal sites, but can't go outside company network.
I suspect that IE is not going through the proxy at all. Which implicates that I don't know how to setup IE to use proxy on WM6???

If you edit "My Work Settings" thru Settings -> Connections -> Connections you can edit the proxy settings there. Then you say "connect to internet" thru "My Work Settings". I may be wrong, but I think you need to reset the pda as well...

OK, here are my settings:
under settings-connections-connections, advanced - select networks:
"Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:" My Work Network.
When I click Edit, under Modem, there are no entries.
Under Proxy settings, "This network connects to internet" and "this network uses a proxy.." are both checked.
"Proxy server" field is disabled.
Under Advanced:
Socks line has serverort next to it. Others are empty. Server and port are good.
I click ok on all and go to IE. Type www.google.com, it says "Locating.." and that's all. Internal web sites are opening ok.
I tried to turn it off, and back on.
Tried google, not working.
I checked all settings once again and tried then, still nothing.

This is a common problem and I have not found a solution for it myself yet.
The proxy settings are lost when you apply them, and the SOCKS server settings behaves weirdly.
Anyone knows what can be done?

i want to know how to do this too... my school is also using the same system.

still no update
no update ??

configfree from Toshiba
Dear,
I had an old E800 from toshiba where configfree is installed. With this program I can configure proxy for wifi in 10 sec and it works.
does someone know where we can find this program for other PDA. I want to try it on my Cruise.

I'm also having the same issue. Can anyone help, please?

From my experiences I can tell you: THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE HTC AND HTTP PROXY FOR WIFI RUN. Neither with WM6.0 nor 6.1 nor a special brand nor the original firmware.
I have tried to inform HTC support, but I'm extremely pessemistic, that at least one will care. It seems to be not a WM related problem, because my WM6 ASUS doesn't have that issue.
There is a work around for browsers only: Don't use Pocket IE, use Minimo, because this browswer has it's own proxy setup. But it doesn't help you much, if you want to use other applications.
EDIT: Just to inform you, what happens, if you upgrade to WM6.1: The proxy settings are kept (HURRRAY) ---- but ignored completely It's _that_ brain damaged...
Regards

I can confirm the same "symptoms": proxy is totally being ignored on WM6.1. However, they're kept when you close the settings.

Proxy over WiFi works for me and has done with my previous HTC Wizard and now with my Kaiser. I have checked with a sniffer that I am definitely using the proxy over port 8080 (MS ISA 2006).
I have explained this before but this is how my device is setup.
ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre - Connection Settings set to 'This computer is connected to: Work Network' - Setting this to Automatic or The Internet deletes any Proxy Settings on the device when you connect it.
WiFi. My home WiFi SSID Network set to 'Connects to: Work'
Connections. 'Tasks' tab - Two settings 'My ISP' & 'My Work Network'. Advanced Tab, Select Networks. Top settings 'Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: My ISP'. Bottom settings 'Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using: My Work Network'. Under 'My ISP' I have the GPRS details for my carrier (Vodafone). Under 'My Work Network' I have a proxy defined with the Advanced settings configured - HTTP set to my proxy with the port 8080 and Socks set to my proxy with port 1080.
That's it and has worked for me since Windows Mobile 6.0 appeared for the Wizard. I used the same settings when I first got my Kaiser with WM 6.0 and now with WM 6.1 (more or less stock 5.2.19212) and it has worked every time.

WiFi and Proxy
There are too many wifi connection in the present. But the best thing is to choose the right one. Can you tell me to choose the right one with no Proxy service. Thanks

I need help to update weather

Sorry i am really a newbie,but how do i update the weather by using Wifi??because it is always automatically connected to GPRS for the update and there is data charge.....help is appreciated...

My Jade uses, if available, WiFi. Did you set up your WiFi with encryption key etc properly on your Jade? Should use this, if activated...

Connect with ActivSync. That will do the trick.

You could use nodata to block gprs, just see your other thread about GoogleMaps.
And make sure your connections are set up properly....
start -> settings -> connections (tab) -> connections -> advanced (tab) -> select networks -> both options should be set to 'my work network'.
Go back to connections tab -> advanced network -> disable HSDPA
go to text service tab(or sms tab) -> text message through GSM
Now you've disabled all GPRS data traffic, set up your wifi connection and you should be good to go.

Mine doesn't seem to like wifi networks. It connects to them ok but then email and opera won't work.
If I connect via my service provider using 3G everything works fine.
I don't mind this as my contract includes 500mb of data per month and I don't use it online that much as I still find it easier using a PC if I'm at home or in the office.
I also find that if I have unique switched on to search for wifi networks it kills the battery life so I don't have it enabled.
I'm sure you will be able to get it to work, I just haven't botherd due to the reasons above.

Best way to ensure no data charges when roaming?

I'm going to France from the UK this week and obviously don't want to be stung for any roaming data charges.
What's the best way to ensure this doesn't happen on the HD2?
Should I just flick the 'Data connection' in 'Comm Manager' to 'Off'? This won't just come on again by itself will it?
The only thing I have auto connecting via data is google sync emails/calendar/contacts anyway. Everything else like stocks, twitter, weather etc is set to manual (as far as I know).

There is an option (that I haven't used) in BsB Tweaks app. Press Menu (right softkey) and then 'Data Connections' and finally 'Off'.
I was in a situation like you few months back when travelling to the states, but I was on a HTC Touch Dual... Back then I used Advanced Config to switch off Data Connections just to be sure and that worked. I can't say if it'll work on HD2.
Active Sync lets you disable the connections when roaming in it's menu as well...
Hope this helps a little.

I'm using Nodata on my HD2 - works flawlessly.
http://htcdriver.com/index.php?page=nodata

+1 for nodata!

Nodata all the way.

Agree
NoData ... works ....

You don't need an extra application like Nodata.
Just go to All Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Advanced --> Select Networks and select "My Work Network" from both drop down lists.
This ensures that the phone can only use WiFi.

But if you do need gprs/hsdpa - using nodata is a much shorter way.

Try this. Completely automated disabling and re-enabling!

HTC Peep login problem

Anyone else having problems with HTC Peep? I can't get it to login to any twitter account, just gives me a login failed (wrong username password type message).
Also use moTweet with no such problems (but would like to use Peep too to stay logged into one account)
It did work once, but not for a week or so now.

yea im getting that too. I think its part of the general network problems that constantly afflict this buggy phone :-(
I get mail connection issues while opera works fine.. I am starting to think it might be something to do with the way the programs call the network interface in WinMo.

I had a Google around and it seems some Android users were getting some similar problems with Peep in Sense UI. Wonder if it's more to do with the Peep app rather can a network issue?

Anyone else getting this problem?
Appreciate if you use Peep and it's working you post a reply too (realise that many others will be using other twitter apps instead due to peep being a little limited in functions)

Hi,
I am on vodafine UK and peep works without any issues on my HD2. On hero, Peep works on wifi as and other networks but does not work on Vodafone UK(regardless of the AP settings).
Vodafone is not blocking the ports, however they are certainly manipulating the incoming data to the devices. Some applications get affected from this process. While there might be other work arounds, I have noticed that using SSL for web requests in the applications resolves issues. For instance, an application I was working on was working ok on wifi deserializing json data from the server but it was failing to do so on Vodafone data connection. Using https instead of http on the server fixed the issue. Of course, this is a fix that need to be applied within the application.

I had the issue with mine too so I created new account on twitter. After sucessfull login there I went back and all was ok. (It is the trick found by some1 else here...)

I've had it not work a couple of times, but 99% of the time it works all the time

it only works with my vodafone if I disable the proxy.. otherwise it only works with wifi..
but when I switch from wifi to 3G, the first time the applications try to connect again.. also weather etc. I get a connection error, althought the 3G/H icon flashes. also after a reboot.. but when I try to connect again it works fine..
not a real problem as I hardly use wifi on it as the 3G connection is really fast and at home the computer is always on and within reach..
when you disable the vodafone proxy, you won't be able to get in the live portal site and/or use those services.. but who cares about that..
generally this fixes a lot of things in the phone, as everything connects to "The Internet" by default. But the vodafone automatic settings screw them up. With the proxy disabled the The Internet account works again and this means it will use wifi when it's on, if not it will use 3G. With the proxy disabled you can also set your mail accounts to "The Internet" instead of "Vodafone live!" and it can receive mail over wifi and 3G.

I tihnk mine worked with T-Mobs 1.43 ROM, but since using 1.61 (and a dabble with 1.48) mine only connects to Twitter through WiFi, not through GSM or 3G. The same is true for MSN messenger too.

Wohoo!!! Fixed it. The key is that you need to update the connections database, reboot and THEN disable the proxy.
1) Goto Settings > Wireless Controls > Tap Data Connection (the label, not the switch)
2) Tap menu, then Update Database
3) Follow the instructions and then OK the reboot.
4) Once restarted, goto Settings > Menu, All Settings. Then Connections, Connections again, then Set up my proxy server.
5) Disable the proxy and you're all set.
WOHOO!!!!

Have Twitter changed something recently? I used to be able to connect using Tweetdeck & Digsby on my PC, as well as the HTC Peep app and moTweet.
No it seems I can only be logged on with one of these applications, or maybe I am barking up the wrong tree.... deffo wouldnt work on HTC HD2 until I logged out of my PC app.

thanks for the post. glad that you ve solved it. didnt work for me I use htc hd2 in Turkey, with Turkcell. I ll post the solution too if I hopefully find it...

TMOUS unfortunately, there is no UPDATE DATABASE, in my data connections.

may sound stupid, but this happens to Peep if you ever used Opera Mobile 10 for Twitter. Solution: log in to Twitter via OM10 and force manual logout there. Peep should be OK afterwards.

i don't find those controls. I changed my password on Twitter, then tried again via Peep. I did this while on mobile network (wifi turned off). Now all is fine on wifi and 3G.

This solution worked for me too, but i'm now back to my original problem, which is that when i tell htc peep to update... it restarts sense. I cannot for the life of me fathom how this is even possible.

It's obviously an HTC Peep issue as many have installed other Twitter clients and they're working OK.
EDIT: I tried schnooller's advice (above) and logged OUT of Twitter.com using Opera on my HD2. Closed Opera, then relaunched Peep..and it's all working fine now

Any help would be appreciated
Drew

settings menu all settings connections connections advanced select networks top dropdown select "the internet" or maybe my work network(I forget what it says).you'll get it when you see

Works perfect - thanks bunch!
Question: Can I somehow setup my device that after I click to update MyWeather automatically connects to WiFi vs clicking ToggleWiFi button?

sorry, no clue.like auto on wifi. should think so if you look hard enough.
