Hi guys, im having some weird issues with my internet settings. as standard my tmobile connection is set to use a proxy server. now when it is using a proxy server and i try to send/receive on my email, it comes back saying it cannot connect with my current settings.
so i changed the settings to not use a proxy server and voilla! when i send/recieve it works fine. HOWEVER, without the proxy server, within 2 - 10 minutes the internet refuses to work and wont load any pages. at this point i have to renable the proxy server, but then i cant send/receive my email!
i cant beleive i have a £500 phone which i cannot use to check my email in peace which my 5 year old nokia can handle effortlessly.
has anyone else had these issues or come accross a fix for this??
The proxy server address I have for t-mobile UK (which works fine) is 149.254.201.132.
going into advanced it has
http: 149.254.201.132:8080
socks: 149.254.211.10:1080
try those settings.
thanks mate, i didnt have anything down under socks so im going to input these details now and see if this fixes it. In your advanced settings are you using socks4 or socks5?
Its Socks4

I've found instructions on their site, and various other places, but no joy. I can make GPRS connections and send/receive SMS just fine, but MMS simply times out.
mms setting tmobile usa
i might be able to help ill post tomorrow with the settings
T-Mobile MMS
First... In order for you to receive MMS messages, your GPRS has to be connected to wap.voicestream.com
2nd in your MMS application you need to point the MMS application to use the wap.voicestream.com profile.
3rd. The gateway address is listed as 216.155.165.050 well.. I'm here to tell you .. that leading 0 messes everything up, just get rid of it and use 216.155.165.50 instead.
This should get you connected.

I'm unable to connect to wap.voicestream.com, so it seems I need to get them to authorize it...
What is the server address to put in the MMS settings? I have:
http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Authorize
Yeah.. Have them set you up and let them know that you have a device that uses Picture Messaging.
Well, that works if I manually connect to the WAP gateway and set the MMS software to use "The internet" as the connection. Thanks!
Any ideas on how to make it auto-dial the WAP connection when it needs to, so I can leave the normal gateway as the internet default? Otherwise I have to switch it manually every time I want to use the VPN.
With these settings, it's still not working for me. What should I put for the port number?
Use port 9201
Are any of you getting free internet anymore? I stopped using my phone for a while, but I haven't gotten free internet in a while and its buggine me. Someone suggested signing up for t-zones and then using wap.voicestream.com, but I don;t want to waste the money unless I have to. Thanks.
Port 9201 worked! Thanks, imagine_einstein!!
Hey all...so im using a little loop whole to use free tmobile internet via proxy settings...now i got the internet to work, but only IE works! i cant get online with any other program such has AIM, myweather app, or anything else, only IE goes online...anyone have this issue? or how to fix it? its driving me crazy!
could be they are blocking the ports used for such services
i dunno?...Live search is the other only program tht works online too...
i believe that it use port80 like browsers too
It uses port 8080, Using IM+ and setting the AIM port to 110 will allow you to connect, but remember it's only a few ports that are open and other programs might not have a setting to change ports for it to work with the Tzones proxy.
You can't (as yet) use 1 connection setting on the T-Mobile network using the T-Zones proxy workaround. I have been (tediously) using 2 connections.
(for internet)
T-Zones proxy
wap.voicestream.com
216.155.165.50:8080
(for mail)
T-Mobile Data
wap.voicestream.com
**no proxy settings**
I've been searching for a way to set up one connection to use which would automatically bypass and use a second connection if connectivity couldn't be established. No one seems to have an answer for this, but i'd love it if someone could figure it out!
I'm waiting as well...
I aked the same question and still waiting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340945
This happened after I flashed the latest TMO ROM, prior to that I had one connection for all my internet apps. Now my weather,and email don't need a proxy but PIE and Live search do what has changed?
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...
After setting up access to my Gmail account through the native email tool, when I do a send/receive, I get and error saying:
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings. etc..."
The only time I can do a successful send/receive is when my X1 is connected to my laptop - then I get all my emails. I have already appplied Windows Mobile 6.1 Hot Fix for Sending POP and IMAP E-mail.
I suspect some settings might be wrong - everything else is working fine. Am even getting 3G in SoCal using AT&T on MediatNet. My settings are as follows:
Access point name: wap.cingular
Domain: <blank>
Proxy Setting
Proxy Server: wireless.cingular.com
HTTP: wireless.cingular.com:80
WAP: <blank>
Secure WAP: <blank>
Socks: localhost:1080
Could anyone help? Thanks in advance.
almost certainly its because you are using a WAP connection.
I've never been able to use POP or SMTP on any phone through a WAP connection.
Try using the APN for cingular full internet
a quick google comes up with:-
APN: isp.cingular
User: [email protected]
Pass: CINGULAR1
but don't quote me, and you may need to check with cingular whether they need to change something their end to enable you to use that APN
Im pretty new to email on my phone but i had the same problem i.e. if i was on wireless i could get mail but if i connected via gprs i would get the same error, can not connect etc, i had to set up and new account with the same details as the account which would send and recieve via wirless and tell it to connect via t-mobile internet as there wasnt an auto option, so i now have two accounts for the same email one accesses via the internet and one via t-mobile internet, you can change this if you edit account setup.
Not sure if this is your problem or if i have read it wrong.
Hope this helps
Hi Masseur,
Thanks for the pointer. I did try but looks like it made no difference. Not sure what's wrong from my settings.
Anyone else has seen this? Would appreciate any help. Thanks.
Folks,
Someone in another forum pointed me to the solution. As it turn out, gmail doesn't work off proxys with AT&T. The automatic setup for AT&T had the proxy checked. All was needed is to take out the proxy and just keep the http settings. Working now!
Hi
Hoping someone can help me!
My Touch HD has been working fine up until yesterday, and now for some reason it is no longer sending emails. I know the settings are right because it was working fine until yesterday.
I have done a hard reset, and installed an alternative ROM but still no luck. My email server itself is working fine.
Any ideas please, it's driving me mad!
Thanks in advance.
Ben.
Anyone help!
Ben,
You'll have to give us a little more to go on.
Who is your Mail Provider?
What error are you getting?
Anything else that might help.

Also are synchornising your mail by using WiFi or 3G
Provide Sreenshots if you can
Hi - I'm having a similar problem on my Touch HD. I have a POP email account set up which connects and downloads emails absolutely fine when I'm on Wifi or connected via Activesync. However when I am on a data connection (i.e. GPRS, 3G, etc) it comes up with an "synchronisation error", and suggests I edit my connection settings. The data connections works for everything else, including web browsing and other applications that require it. Its almost as if the mail application isn't being allowed access to the data connection unless its over wifi.

Check your service provider.
I had this problem once and they were "playing" with the POP access over GPRS.
I would give them a quick call.
Regards, D
Yup, sounds like I am having the same problem as DaveHodgkinson.
Can download emails fine, can access the internet fine. Just can't send emails. I know all my settings are correct as they were working fine previously, plus I can send/receive via Outlook and webmail absolutely fine. I have a QIQ hosting package with my own domain that I use for email.
I have read about other people having this same error on their WinMo devices, but have not been able to find a working solution for it.
The error message I get is "the message could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. The try sending again".
Well I do have network coverage, and the account information is correct, so what next!!
This fault renders a major function of the phone unusable.
I doubt this is a "fault".
I'll bet your mobile provider is blocking port 25 making everything else not matter.
Get a telnet client and make sure you can telnet to your mail server on port 25.
Use your wireless providers SMTP server.

Great thanks for the advice - I'll give TMobile a call and let you know what they say

From searching google this problem appears to be too widespread to be operator specific. I have tried an alternate port and that also fails. I am on o2.
anybody anymore ideas?
Planetgong,
If you are on O2 UK, this worked for me:
If you can't get your own email providers SMTP settings to work then you can use O2 settings for sending email (while keeping your own email provider for incoming email). To do this your main email settings should look like this...
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
Host Name: smtp.o2.co.uk
User Name: [email protected]
Password: youro2password
Your Advanced settings should look like this...
Outgoing Settings
Use SSL: Off
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 25
If you can't remember your O2 username and password (you will have registered this when you activated your phone) then just register another one at www.o2.co.uk (the 'Register' link is near the top left corner).
Hi
Thanks for the reply. I've just tried that but get the same error message. Can you tell me where I can find the advanced settings?
Planetgong,
Assuming you can log onto your o2 mail box on your PC/laptop. And sign out again.
Go through email setup, my outgoing mail server is smtp.o2.co.uk, tick outgoing server requires authentication, untick use the same name and password. Under "advanced server settings" (at bottom of screen) have both boxes unticked. Make network connection O2 active (not The Internet).
done and next.
Enter O2 user name and password
continue to end of setup.
Then try it!!
Hi
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this still didn't work. It is like my Touch HD has suddenly decided to stop all outgoing SMTP connections. I have tried so many different things now and it still isn't working!

Although the problem is supposed to be solved on the version of Windows Mobile on the Touch HD, it clearly isn't! Cheers Microsoft.
Not sure what to do now. Don't see why I should accept a phone that all the features don't work on?
I've also got the .cab fix installed linked to by the traceyandmatt site.

hi,
disable your proxy. that might help
goto settings, tab connections, then select connections
next select 'setup my proxy'. go to tab 'proxy server' and uncheck 'this network uses a proxy server'

Proxy is unchecked, still no access. Can I return the phone on the basis it isn't able to perform all the functions it is supposed to?

Didn't work for me! couldn't send any email anymore! Restored a backupfile
