Hi, got the HTC HD2 (Leo) since last week. I searched with Google, i search this forum, I read the wiki, faq and several posts, i read the 'don't start a thread!' post, still no luck.
At my work we us a non-broadcast wireless network (wifi) in other words, it's hidden. On my old P3300 with default windows mobile, I could easily add a network manually, but now with htc sense I can't find this option. Any idea if this is possible?
To make things clear: wifi IS working, when I go to the wifi settings I see some broadcasted networks but no option to add a network manually. The advanced menu don't give me that option neither.
Thanks, Paul
When you have the wifi settings open, click Advanced and then the "Change Network" button. Then just click "Add New". I guess you'll recognise the rest after that.
Good luck
Thanks,
I finally found it under Settings -> Menu -> More settings.

Hi,
Phone: HTC Touch Diamond (P3700)
OS: WM6.1 Professional
I'm new to the forum, sorry if this had been covered already, I tried to use the search, but couldn't find anything.
Basically, what I'm looking for is an app that allows me to access the Network Management quickly so that I can switch the connection settings from the provider's to My Work Network or another without going through [Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks] every single time. Or perhaps a way to create a shortcut instead?
I'm looking for this because I need to change it when I'm at home or on the road. At home, where WiFi is available, I always change it to My Work Network on both Internet and private network settings to ensure that I'm not connecting through my provider. And when I'm on road, I'd change it back to my provider's settings so that I can access their free websites.
Thanks.
Ok, after some more research, so far the closest thing I found is making a shortcut to Windows\remnet.exe.
Okay, so I've shagged my internet settings completely. I now can't connect to the internet at all, despite having a good strength 3G connection.
Could someone help me restore my internet settings? I know it's a bit of a vague question, but I don't know where the problem lies.
I've already tried the "automatically configure connection", and it unfortunately didn't help (after disconnect/reconnect and also after a reset).
Please help me - I feel naked without the internet in my pocket! lol
Cheers,
John.

Could someone do me a favour?
I need someone with a Touch HD, from Orange (in the UK), to go to the following screen...
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks
...and tell me what "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using".
I'd really appreciate it, as I believe mine was set to something that now doesn't work, but one of the others does!!!
Thanks in advance,
John.
Mine is set to Orange Internet
Post deleted, because I've made things worse
To get the same settings as mine, try the following:
Tap Start
Tap Settings
Tap the Connections tab
Tap Connections
Tap the Advanced tab
Tap Select Networks
In the first drop down-box select Orange Internet
Tap Edit (if Orange Internet isn't listed tap new)
Select Orange Internet
Tap Edit
Data settings
Enter Orange Internet for the name
Select Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) from the modem list
Tap Next
Enter orangeinternet in the access point name
Tap Next
Leave the 'Username', 'Password' and 'Domain' blank
Tap Finish
Tap the Proxy Settings tab
Tick 'This network connects to the Internet'
Un-tick 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet'
Tap ok three times
Tap X
Hope that helps,
JB
Very much appreciated John Boy, but that's exactly what I had. There must have been something wrong elsewhere.
I use the past-tense, as I've just flashed my phone with the newest version of wm6.5 (I favour miri as my custom rom), and that's solved all my problems.
I pretty much expected that I'd need to hard reset to solve this problem, but it'll probably help others in future, having that list of settings and info.
Thanks again mate - much appreciated.
John.
Is there any reason why I can only update my location when connected through WIFI? Is there a workaround?
[Solved]
Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5902752&postcount=11
There's already a lot of discussion on the "my location" feature.
You should think yourself lucky - mine's NEVER worked, over 2G, 3G, HSDPA or WiFi. It simply doesn't work for me.
Mine was working fine over all mediums until I installed "Touch X Disconnect data after E-mail check" tweak. Now, even after uninstalling it, I still cannot update either email or weather except over WIFI! I think a hardreset is in order here...
I previously had the Touch HD and thought this problem was just a compatibilty issue from using a LEO rom.

Same here mate. I'm very patiently waiting for a workround or fix for this issue. I've never even seen it working! lol
mine works fine anywhere except my home town, that's even more of a kick in the pants as far as i'm concerned. On O2 in the SW. Rivets
Shouldnt this be working :S?

I am in the US on ATT can only use edge, works all the time on edge and wifi, in fact I am amazed how fast it works
any updates on a possible fix for this? Has anyone tried something that worked?
I'm using 2.08 radio with miri 7.0 and I still can't get my location to work over 3g or gprs. It works fine over wifi.
Still broken with CleanEX 0.53 and 2.09 radio
Comm Manager (wireless controls on settings tab) -> Menu -> Connections -> Manage existing connections -> Proxy settings -> untick "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
Try updating from the weather tab. Should work after that.
From my experience, it's also a hit and a miss based on location, rather than settings. I can update weather at my work (about 40 miles from home) no problem, over wifi, 3g etc. I can add a location near my home town, and update that no problem at all, over any connection, however when I am home, I am unable to update my location weather.
I think it must be an issue with location, the town I live in is quite small, but the place I work, is a lot larger.
Works to a fashion!
Mine seems to work ok, but when I am in some parts of Derby (East Mids), it says I am in Southall!! Same on my Old Man's Vodafone HD2.
Mine: 1.43 Stock o2 ROM
Pops: 1.66 Vodafone Updated ROM

I've been searching for this solution to update weather via wifi! But for your solution, i have unticked "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
but how to update weather tab? When i go "menu" --> "Weather Settings" --> tick "Download data automatically" and it prompted me, i will be extra charge from internet service provider. and that will switch on my data connection again... headache~~
I bought an Htc magic today and I am having trouble trying to find out how to disable the automatic connection to internet by GPRS. Can somebody help me?
Hello. Good question. Took me a little to find it. I actually have a widget that I can turn the GRS off and on anytime. Its a Battery Widget. Very handy. However to answer your issue from the dashboard "homescreen"
click MENU > SETTINGS > SECURITY&LOCATION > Then uncheck Enable GPS
lol zelda, not GPS, GPRS....2 totally different animals.
cunha11 i would delete out your apn info. it can be found under
settings-> wireless and networks --> mobile networks --> access point names
some people have reported that apn info will get re-filled in upon reboot but i think that may be carrier dependent.
so just click on your access point and delete all the fields available..
give that a shot
edit: forgot there is an app called apndroid in the market, give that a try
LOL sorry, my bad. I misread that. I read these forums at work in between Service requests. HEH. looks like he got it though.
Where do you add new APN settings? I went to all settings/connections/connections but don't see any place to insert all the APN settings..?
Original post:
HD2 noobie here. Have it unlocked on AT&T. Phone/SMS all work fine. I don't get any internet(mail, facebook, marketplace, etc.) unless I'm on wifi. I realize being on AT&T I can only get edge(which is fine). I've been on a tmobile phone(G1 on edge prior to getting this phone) since last year with no problems. I figured it was my sim card. I took my old G1 and put my sim in there, works no problems. Also put a different sim card under my account(my dads) in my HD2, same problem. I've narroed it down to the HD2 itself but I have no clue what could be keeping it from getting on edge/internet.
I get a 'Cannot COnnect'' error that says:
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufactuerer's documentation and try again.

Then after hitting 'Dismiss' I see:
Network problem
Make sure your Internet connection is active and check wether other applications that rely on the same connection are working

Any idea? Maybe someone with AT&T has seen this problem before.

Your APN settings are wrong; if you have a TMOUS or Telstra HD2 it won't have AT&T settings on it, you need to create new connection profiles with AT&T settings.
I'm assuming it uses the same APN settings as my G1 on AT&T did? But where the heck do I enter new APN settings at on this phone?
I've looked everywhere for APN settings. Can anyone help please?
settings - all settings - connections - connections
I have tried that and saw NOTHING about APN settings.
updated title. still can't figure this out. surely there are AT&T users on here that had to do this

settings tab - menu - all settings - connections - connections - add a new modem connection - name - cellular line(gprs) then fill in the rest with the at&t access point name and such like.
Then, when you have the modem created, go back to the connections - connections screen, jump to advanced tab, click select networks - and set the top option to your at&t data you just set up.

Please help me set up the APN for t-zones and mms. I have a T-Mobile unlocked HD2 that I flashed to android. I went to settings-wireless & networks-mobile networks-access point names. When I hit Access Point Names, there are no options in it, just a black screen with APN on top so I cannot add anything. How do I set up my T-mobile MMS and t-zones settings? I looked everywhere and could not find a solution. Please help!!!!
