Hey all, I've been trying to figure this out all day.
My work bought my department a Sprint Hero as an 'on call' phone to pass around, and no one realized that the CDMA Hero is still officially stuck on Android 1.5. Which as I'm sure you all know, doesn't include the vpn settings in the OS, and there don't seem to be any apps in the marketplace that do PPTP. We really need to be able to connect to a windows style PPTP VPN server to manage our servers over RDP/VNC, and browse intranet sites.
So far today I've rooted the hero and tried several ROMs, the only one that even had the VPN settings was the AOSP 2.0 ROM, but I can't get the VPN working, and there is no confirmation in that ROM's thread as to whether its VPN works or not. (Yes, I posted the Q there, and I'm waiting to hear back.)
So if anyone can confirm PPTP VPN works on any Hero ROM's, or if anyone knows of an app that'll do it, I'd greatly appreciate ANY pointers...
I'm excited to learn more about android, I've been a WinMo user since ~2000 or so, and an avid XDA user for most of that time (T-Mobile MDA [Wizard], AT&T Tilt [Hermes], and my current personal phone Sprint Touch-Pro [Raphael]).
Thanks again!

Well I guess with the new kernel source dropping it shouldn't be long now...
You need to get to atleast 1.6 to get the ipsec version (cisco type) to work, with the kernel release I hope we can get at least a 1.6 fully functional, bt camera etc.
If you have to get vpn now check the rom links there is a partially functional 1.6 and 2 out there. Me Im waiting, I use the Bluetooth and camera more then i would vpn. (for now I put a machine on the network with VNC and vnc into it to get to the network.)
Yeah I tried all of the 1.6/2.0/2.1 ROMs that were available as of ~two weeks ago. Only the ASOP 1.6 even had the VPN config menu in the settings, and it didn't seem to work.
It seems like adding the tun module & VPN settings page is a pretty low priority for most of the cooks...
I noticed on one of the ROM's threads that there is a 1.6/2.1 ROM that has the tun module and the cook tested it, but the actual VPN settings page isn't showing up in that ROM
Well, I hear that the GSM Hero is supposed to get the 2.1 upgrade by the end of march, so hopefully the CDMA Hero update won't be far behind that...
#UPDATE# Sprint Confirms Android 2.1 for CDMA Hero Q2 2010...

I do not know what the problem is… the tzones worked perfectly fine on my other pocketPC, no problems whats so ever, I put in the ip, the 8080 port for http everything else wap, secure wap, sockets using the same ip and the default ports, it worked 100%
Now with the 8525 (purchased a used one, needed one with edge and keyboard badly) I can not get any other third party browser to work properly, mini opera has major issues it will not even detect my net at all… I have tried different midlet with no success, I have set the proper connection as it works with IE but of course very buggy some sites I can not access and I will get many times the error “the requested page is too long URL= (the url) Status=62(hex)”
What should I do now? Minimo seems to be running quite bad, its either eating up too much resources or causing the device to almost freeze, it does run however.
I used to be able to go to every page with my other pocketPC phone, only difference is that it was on gprs and this is on edge, the settings I had were exact and both wm6
8525 is running vp3G 3.60.2 radio 1.50
I have tried Esmertec Jbed, the one that was given in a thread, it too failed with mini opera to get a connection
I guess the i300 used a good java manager? Or the standard one, I never had any issues or problems with java on that device at all…
Any suggestions? Any recommendations on ROM? And what java manager should I get? Jbed seemed really nice with full screen, any others I should give a go? Something that might have proxy ability maybe?
As it seems either IE is flawed with proxy and tzones (wap net) or the service gives some kind of errors… either way IE isn’t really usable, besides just maybe reading text if it goes to the page, most times I get a lot of hangs :/ and retries are required.
fixed problem... im not 100% sure but i used different rom Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_3.60a-0823_Full and it works all 100% right out of the box
IE that is just like on my other phone, im quite happy that there is such a large selection of cooked roms \o/ only 2nd day having 8525 and i was able to put new rom. Great work goes out to everyone of course \o/
bonus points to anyone who could figure out why vp3G 3.60.2 didnt work? or maybe i should have done a hard reset on the device? as it was cleared prob just default settings/reset? Previous owner that i got to talk to and is here on forums used AT&T, he now has a kaiser go figure heh
T-Zones - Tytn - HOW??????????????
confused: HOW ??????????? were you able to get T-zones working on your Tytn???
My understanding is that Tmo disabled it for smartphones or pda phones.
PLEASE sent me details.
I pay for t-zones but cannot manage to get it on my 8525.
Thanks,
Charlie
Hey guys i'm thinking about getting this phone or the tilt. Main reason is i know WM6 supports 802.1x wifi security modes, which my school uses EAP-PEAP. i dont know whether or not the g1 supports it. Does it? i've been googling for a bit and nothing comes up. Thanks in advance.

All I can see is WPA and WPA2 it doesn't let me configure it further. So I am going to guess no... I don't have any EAP or RADIUS routers to check.
But even if it doesn't have it... it can always come out later cause it is just software.
damn how long will it take........honestly i believe they released a half baked product anyway hopefully they'll do it in time before i get my tilt.

You have to remember this product has only been out a week and a half and already they sent out a firmware update. Most other HTC devices don't get updates unless its from WM 6 to 6.1
Google likes to release things that are just bare minimum and use your feedback to build the rest. You will probably see quite a few firmwares being released. Remember this is all to benefit you. While it may be "half baked" to you right now... in the future it will include all the things you need... but not all those things you hated about other OS's
oh they already have firmware updates out? thats cool. Thanks
PEAP and 802.1x
Developers! I wish that i could contribute but i'm not a programmer. I am however leading a group of students on my campus to use the G1 to it's fullest potential. Everything from Gapp's to media sharing. The issue now is that there is no support/options for PEAP authentication on our campus environment. We have some of the best wifi coverage of most campus's i've been to but it defeats the $200 bill of the G1 if i have to rely on the edge network.
Is there any developers I can test configs for? I'll be a tester and can usually report back quickly.
needed configs for campus:
-WPA
-TKIP
-802.1 and PEAP
-AD username and Pswd
Thanks!
Jolopicus
It should work fine if you have root and set up the wifi connection manually with a custom wpa_supplicant.conf, the iptables thread in the development section would be a good start for reading what ya need to do. the default wpa_supplicant.conf on the device has all the settings possible in the comments.
Hi all,
I bumped this topic instead of creating a new one. So i hope this the right way. If i should make a new topic please say so. But this was the closes and only thing i could find about the topic.
Is there any information about getting RADIUS or 802.1x working on the G1. (My campus has this and i like to have internet access on my phone there as i do not have a data abbo).
I read that rooting your phone is a option, but i am not sure what image i should use and how to install it so i hope there is a way to do it on 1.6.
Looking forward to your replays.

I have connection now with a WPA-PEAP network. That one is working but the raduis (8.02.1X) still shows up as web
Hi All
I need some help with my HD2.
Today I upgraded from stock rom to latest as version as on HTC website
I can't recall old version, anyway I am having an issue with this radio version which is 2.07.51.22_2
My exchange activesync keeps disconnecting, so my emails are arriving 3-4 minutes later.
I guess my question is?
Can i go back to older radio version without flashing, or worse case scenario could i downgrade to older rom?
I need some help guys.
Thanks
I am downloading now... Will try when down.
I cannot help you there, but have you tried sending a SMS? did you get a stupid notification of message being sent? I am trying to figure out a way to deactive.... No luck yet, waiting for HTC response
As for the Data sync I have had no issue as yet. I have found it a tad more reliable than 1.49. But I have only done a whole 2 hrs of testing

What a pain, so yours work ok, do you use activesync with an exchange server?
That's where my problem is.
It disconnects every few minutes, which obviouslyconsumes more battery power.
As for the sms sent notification I dont mid it.
I may downgrade to original rom, is it safe?
Thanks

Sorry I should have clarified. I link mine with my Exchange 2010 Server. I am getting emails as wanted.
That said I still can't sync SMS. Which is soemthing HTC is looking at and I haven't heard back in a while. I should email them to chase them up.
Hmm, I may try a hard reset tomorrow then.
Thanks

Hi there, having exactly the same issue, did you find a solution to this other than changing out the ROM? Greatly appreciate your posts.
Telstra ROMS on HD2 are stuffed!
I've heard from a mate who works in Telstra ROM development that the HD2 images are not fully tested.. and therefore go to market with communications flaws.. eg every time you try and sync your mail or use as a shared internet device it struggles as the radio version is substandard to the rest of the Image.
Do yourselves a favour.. HSPL it... Find one of the wonderful roms that the guys/gals on here do.. and you will love using the hardware you have purchased. The HD2 is so powerful and should not be ruined by Telstra's lame attempt at a ROM.
Seems they have put way more effort into the Android ( desire ) but its still no HD2.

Yep fixed it, apologies forgot to post solution for my issue.
After trying reflashing with new ROM, downgrading to old ROM and still having same issue, that's right after downgrading...
It clicked, see I bought device and started using activesync after about 2 months.
Before that, I had an issue with my 3G internet connection not working at all.
Weather updates, internet access, hotmail emails etc.
To fix that other issue I had to create a new internet connection.
By the time I got to use activesync I had a new internet connection, I was not using stock telstra connection.
Therefore to fix on new ROM version I created a new connection, and magically started working up to now with no issues.
And it is true telstra are bloody hopeless at testing pre-releasing ROMs.
If you need more information let me know.
Thanks
Would greatly appreciate any help in two areas:
- firstly my HD2 internet stuff is nor working at present. Clicking many of the BigPond links just brings up IE with wap.telstra.com/wap?..... and ends up just sitting there until timeout. Can you post details for setting up new internet connection that fixed this.
- which ROM did you go to. Hw did you load this. I cannot get my HD2 to connetc to Win7 x64 WMDC. Can't even see any mention of the device in the device mgr, though it did say it saw it at ones stage. Reading numerous posts - seems to be a lot of people having issues in this space..

Ok.. have to say, the wap.telstra addresses are all old and many are discontinued. All those apps are simply web shortcuts that should point to a m.bigpond address.
Firstly.. you need to do a few things..
1) You will need to HSPL your phone- ( like flashing a bios ) I just used the hspl.zip.. Instructions are easy and straight forward, make sure you follow them perfectly.
2) Flash your radio to something better i did the 2.10 ( Again.. instructions need to be followed.)
3) I then had a look and found a rom on the forum ( energy GTX ) which seems to have all i want and is fast.. after you flash it.. reboot it.. and it will autoconfigure to the Telstra network.. and BINGO.. FAST Phone!!

Hey there, thanks for this. With the new 1.72 ROM the Telstra inbuild connection set ups seem to work, can browse internet and activesync will connect when I prompt it OK (with 1.49 I had to setup a new connection with Phone line (GPRS) and telstra.wap manually (via the Telstra tech's)). I have two HD2's one running 1.49 (with this manual config) and the other 1.72 with inbuilt Telstra config's - the delay problem u described with email arriving 3 or 4mins later is still happening on 1.72 despite it appearing to connect fine, almost like the message from the exchange server is being ignored. Watching Activesync on the 1.72 when I know there is new email and there is this odd sequence, seems to check and recheck emails 2 or 3 times when just one new email has arrived but doesn't seem to pick up the trigger from the Exchange Server that new email has arrived? Does this delay still happen for you, what connection configuration did you select? Thanks v.much.
I want to know what are the real benefits or improvements on upgrading the ROM on Telstra branded HD2? Because I bought an new, unlocked HD2 from a clearance shop in Melbourne and had been into it for just 2 days. Bening a long time WM user, I got used to it and it really seems to work without any problems at the moment, so does the new ROM brings some dramatic improvements, new and fanastic functions or what? I am not after cosmetic things at all, need to know real benefits comared to old ROM.

Thanks, almost sold on this path at this point given the headaches, was reluctant to head down this HSPL path, is there a good reference for setting up a custom ROM specifically for Telstra's network?
Activesync usually never works with the standard Telstra connection in the HD2 Telstra ROM.
As far as im aware, it is set up to go through a Telstra proxy server, which doesn't allow the Activesync traffic.
You must set up your own stock standard connection to telstra.internet APN. Which bypasses the proxy that they have on their preloaded connection. You will however not be able to use the Telstra internet shortcuts to My Account, BigPond etc, as they require authentication with their proxy server.
So as far as I have found, with the stock Telstra HD2 ROM its a case of either one or the other: your activesync working, or your Telstra links working.

I'd like a response to this too as I'm looking at HD2 Android and need a radio upgrade from for it to run, but don't want to lose Telstra Rural coverage. The HD2 is a great device, but few Winmo6.5 app developments compared to Android or iphone.
Hi all I'm new to these forums I was told to come and ask question here by overclock.net. Anyways, I just bought the 32B HTC Magic from Vodafone and so far I love the phone but I have a few issues/questions.
1. How long does it take until vodafone will allow me to OTA update from 1.5 to 1.6?
2. My wifi connection keeps dropping, it says it's connected but my browser and android market place and etc aren't loading.
3. The chick at vodafone said that Sense UI was just released by them for the phone :/ as far as I know the 32B doesn't support Sense UI without root and adding a custom rom.
Anyway, please help me out and thanks
Just an update I managed to update to 1.6. But my wifi issue still isn't fixed. I really need help.
hey there=)
i don't know much about those android things yet, because i'm quite new to this stuff, too, but i also have a vodafone (germany) magic and i already got the 1.6=P but reasons for your wifi disconnects could be one of the following:
- do you have the 'connected' icon at the top? if not, you're sure youre assigned to the network? does the connection hang at a special point? go to the wifi settings and look if it got an ip
- do you use encryption? if yes, try changing it, some routers seems to cause problems=)
- do you use a static ip or dhcp? try the one you're not using^^
- try disabling your 3g
...sry for my bad english=)
greetz,
das_coach
I fixed it. I played with my router settings until it worked. Now it's fine. All I want to know is if that Vodafone chick was telling the truth about Sense UI.
dunno about vodafone, but htc released it (can't post the link, but google it, you'll find the official htc page^^), and i don't think they have to root the phone for that, because they have the ability to apply it as an ota=)
Hi guys well i own a HTC Aria and it is rooted. First I installed Cyanogen Mod 7 on it which is great but the one thing that i have not gotten to work is to connect to a hidden SSID over wifi. I installed as many nightly builds I could hoping that with each new one maybe it would be fixed but sadly no. I am presently running cyanogen mod 6.1.1 of which the hidden SSID wifi works great. Can anyone tell me if this problem has been fixed or can anyone give a solution which does not include making my SSID visable because I can't for personal reasons. Your response is most appreciated.
Sorry, but for the 100th time, your out of luck when it comes to connecting to hidden APs if your running CM.
Ok cool its no big problem, I guest I have to wait for the final cm7 release

No. Not going to happen most likely as mentioned 200 times. Just unhide your network.
That would be impossible as my school uses a hidden network. Can't just waltz up to them and request them to unhide it.
I feel you man i guess for now do what i did go back to cm 6.1.1, it works great with hidden SSID over wifi
The question is why hidden SSID are a no go for CM7?
I wonder if it took this long for cm6 to get the hidden SSID over wifi to work or if it ever even had this problem from the start/to begin with.

Same situation here, I just reverted back to FR008 with HK kernel (for great battery life) and will stick with it until the semester is done or someone manages it to get it working on CM7.
You got it man its just a waiting game but in the end those guy do a great job getting the roms fully working and stable. 5 stars!!!!!!!!!
