Hi ...
Im from Singapore. Just bought the phone from Starhub but Im actually using Singtel Service.
Status
Internet connection set up..
Can access internet via IE
Can receive email
Can access youtube or google maps..
Problem:
CANNOT access opera internet.. Connection issue..
Can anyone help me on this, please...
Thank you
I'm giving this a bump because I'm having a similar problem with Opera detecting my mobile network. I'm with Singtel as well and it seems there are a few data connection profiles a program can choose from, i.e. IDEAS Internet and IDEAS WAP (GPRS).
It looks like MSN Messenger is only able to connect via IDEAS Internet whereas Opera Mobile only recognises IDEAS WAP (GPRS). If I use NODATA to disable a profile, the respective application fails to connect to the internet.
My preference is to keep IDEAS Internet, but I can't figure out how to tell Opera Mobile to use that connection (even though it's already active). When I disable IDEAS WAP which Opera Mobile normally uses, the browser will tell me there's a network problem and won't even attempt to connect via another data connection profile. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Are you sure your Provider permits Opera browser usage? Some providers limit what browsers can work on their network, or require your browser to start with a sort of login page before browsing was permitted.
You might want to check that out by calling your network provider.
That was the case a few years ago with the Irish 3 and Vodafone networks.

I have PDA2K with wm5 with wap over gprs connection.
I installed spb weather, sbsh pocket weather and virtual earth mobile.
I cannot updat weather on spb and sbsh using wap gprs connection i can update just only using wifi or activesync ie. internet connection.
My friend has the same phone and same software wap gprs connection but another gsm operator, he can update weather using wapgprs normally. Can any one help me please solve this problem? Also he can view maps on virtual earth mobile using his wap gprs connection and i cant.
Best Regards,
This is probably operator issue. Some cell operators when they say 'WAP' mean limited access to their site only that will let you read news, get ring-tones and stuff but not use mail, messenger or other apps that require real internet access.
Try switching SIMs with your friend and updating the weather. If it works, call you operator and inquire about internet access.
If not, it may be a settings issue. You need to make sure your GPRS connection is under 'My IPS'.
I have a Vodafone branded X1 which I'm using with my T-Mobile sim. I have gone into the registry and unlocked the default connections (My ISP and WEB) and changed them to work with T-Mobile.
Opera, panels, IE and comm manager connect fine.
Messaging (Email), Windows Live, and Messenger all say they cannot connect (It doesn't even look like they try and connect)
It appears they have been set to only work with Vodafone's default settings, is there anywhere i can modify to make these work?
when you edited WEB and My ISP did you untick the connect to internet via proxy option? but leave this connection connects to internet checked
hotmail etc is working on my phone and the only changes i've made are the ones i gave you on the other thread, except I'm on o2.
Yep, I did all that and I still get problems, the message I get from Windows Live is "Windows Live was unable to establish an Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and make sure that you have access to data services under your billing plan. If you need help, please contact your mobile service provider."
It doesn't even try to use the My ISP or WEB connections before it shows that message.

i had a similiar problem where only opera connected and not msn.
I removed all connections completely (do not only edit them) and restart and recreate.
then it started to work again..
ried removing all the connections completely and I still get the same issues with mail and messenger.
It looks to me like they aren't even trying to look for, or establish a connection before throwing the error
that's exactly how it looked to me, when I was trying to fix it last night. then it all fell into place. it almost looked like it new it wasn't going to work and couldn't be bothered trying! I think the last thing I did was disable connecting by proxy on the WEB connection.
I promise you it is something wrong with your settings and not with Live or Messaging.
I've tried everything I think I can with the connection settings, can you list your settings please eyebeebe?
I assume you're using these settings:
GPRS APN address: general.t-mobile.uk
Gateway (IP) address :149.254.1.10 (alt: 149.254.201.132)
Username : user (alt: wapuser)
Password: wap
Session type: Continuous / permanent
Port number: 8080 (alt: 9201)
Authentication: Normal
Is your Artemis on T-mobile? Can you mirror it's settings? For example you made need to connect via proxy and enter the Gateway IP address as above if you haven't already.
If you've done that already send me a PM and we can go through my settings on MSN...
Ive been trying to access my yahoo mail via the manila email tab using wap or 3G but I always get an error sync message.
It works perfectly via Wifi so I know its got nothing to do with my mail settings.
Ive looked around here and tried unchecking the proxy box etc to no avail either.
More research on the net though now leads me to believe that my ISP is blocking the access to wap because it believes that the windows mobile email app/tab isnt a legit wap browser and therefore blocks its accesss.
Im living in France and use SFR (a derivative of vodafone) and use wapSFR to connect when not on wifi. Using opera, IE, weather updates etc using wapSFR works fine as well, its just the email app.
So if it is being blocked, is there a way around this?
cheers
Some ISPs block some sites if you use a wap APN: I live in Italy so I know that
D'rath
PS: with internet APN you'll not have problems
Yeah I have a webSFR APN as well but Im unable to access it. I just get a connection error when I try to turn on data connection when using it
Hi,
I have got a weird problem. I cannot surf the web using IE and opera on my HTC HD or sync emails. althrough the WAP does work with the opera, (haven't try it with IE)
Other applications are working with the 3G data connection e.g skype, AGE phone mobile 2 and facebook.
the last thing I remembered doing was connecting to a wifi network at a family home.
Is there a setting to tell IE or opera which data connction to use?
cheers

Hi arowana88,
I would advise you try checking whether any changes have been set to your phones Proxy Settings.
Go to Start | Settings | Connections | Connections. Under the 3G Data Connection heading of your ISP, click the 'Set up my proxy server' link. Make sure that the option titled "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" is unticked - you only need to do this if you have problems accessing certain things like email or https (secure) websites.
If this makes no difference, then you can try to hard reset your device.
Hope that helps you out.
Regards.
I got HD2 last week and I can connect to everything(HTC Sense weather etc) online via mobile network except checking my email and MSN Messenger. Those two only work then the phone in on wifi.
I have a 10 GB data plan as part of my subscription so I should be able to use those. Have I done a setup error? Or could it be my mobile provider blocking usage of those two services?
I have looked at my mobil providers homepage and it says nothing about those two service being blocked.
Any thoughts?
In your internet settings unselect "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet". I had the same problem on T Mobile UK and now everything works.
Yes, Sometimes after soft reset... But fix it is easy.
if unselect this proxyserver setting isn't something to do with security by the mobile provider?

no, the proxy just holds copies of web pages soo that you don't connect to the website every time. there is no difference by not using the proxy

I am having this same problem, but i have checked the proxy settings and the proxy is not configured.
any other ideas what it could be?
PS, I'm on vodafone if it makes any difference.
Thanks
I guess that your data plan covers only Internet browsing (port 80 and 443), email is on port 110 (in) and 25 (out) and Messenger on still another port, they must be blocked as you guessed in your first post. Orange implemented the same kind of restriction in France with its so called "Internet max" option, what a joke!

I have had this problem for 5 days now. I have tried different roms, hard resets and the proxy connection but it will not let me sign into msn or hotmail. Marketplace works fine though. I am also on vodafone but I tried to connect via a wifi hotspot and it still failed.
The only thing I can think of is that I recently deleted all of my msn contacts via outlook on my computer. I think that this has somehow messed up my profile and so the phone won't connect.
There is a help section on the live app which redirects you to a webpage. You fill in some details about your phone, operator, problem etc but the 'submit' button wouldn't work for me, so I didn't get anywhere.
