Tmobile HD2 Opera Browser Issues, Please Help. - HD2 General

So the last thing I remember doing before I found that my Opera Browser stopped working were these registry tweaks:
37. Boost Performance:
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS
Change - CacheSize to 4096
39. Speed Up Web Page Loading Considerably
The following registry tweak will enable almost instantaneous web page loading in the web browser. It apparently enables wireless N mode but seems to work with cellular data too. Go to:
HKLM/Comm/BCMSDDHD1/Parms
11nModeDisable = Change from 1 to 0
And a few other little ones that have nothing to do with internet... Well now Opera will open up, but will not load any pages... The status bar just stays empty and the screen remains white. I have no idea if the registry changes had anything to do with it, but I just decided to change them back. Well that didn't work, so I went ahead and cleared the memory to just start over. That hasn't helped either. Any ideas? What was weird is that Skyfire ran fine, while Opera didn't... But now that I cleared my storage, I no longer have Skyfire, so I'm internet-less. Haha. And everything else updates properly, weather, time, facebook, and email...

I'm having the same issue, as well as with internet explorer. Internet explorer loading about 3/4 of the way and stops....and then nothing. I was simply browsing on opera when everything stopped working with the internet. I hope someone has a fix. Internet explorer AND Opera still work with wifi, just not 3G

Yea, same with me... Internet explorer and opera... Everything else is good! Im talking to tmobile now...

Yea, I just got done talking with T-Mobile, walked me through everything including a master reset and it still doesn't work. So now I have to return the phone, but that's not until next wednesday when they get more back in stock :/....

So I got it to work... You have to change the APN to WAP.VOICESTREAM.COM... Well where I am anyway, Phoenix, AZ...

And I just spoke with HTC. They had me manually enter the internet connections, still didn't solve the probleml. Looks like I'll just have to wait till Wednesday.

I have had the same issue all day with both Opera and IE. I as well was on the phone with CC for about an hour this morning...we tried everything but a master reset, she sent me to the store to try a new sim card...that did not work either.
I wonder what is going on?
...I am going to try the wap.voicestream.com APN to see what that does, I thought I tried this morning before I even called...but I have done so many things that I do not remember.
My internet was running fine yesterday and I have not installed anything new since then.
_______________________________________________________________
***Holy $h!t...wap.voicestream.com works now***
Settings > Wireless Controls > Data Connection > Manage Existing Connections > Edit "T-Mobile Data" > Next > Enter "wap.voicestream.com" under "Access point name" > Next > finish
Toggle your data data connection...should be up and running again (at least I am in Opera)

Thanks!! Worked perfect. Now I like the phone again. Yea, I'm in phx too

T-Mobile HD2 on WindMobile
I have the same issue with windmobile.ca
The browsers (IE and Opera) both stop at about 3/4 way through loading when using data connection.
There is no problem when using WiFi eg can browse any website.
I have setup the data connection scores of times and confirmed it with WindMobile support. It appears to be an issue with T-Mobile HD2.
Anyone else had this issue on Wind Mobile, and more importantly, resolved it?
Is there perhaps some T-Mobile ROM peculiarity that is cause of this issue?
EDIT to add: After some more searching it appears that it was Wind Mobile who forgot to turn on my data on their system. So even though Infinite Data appeared in My Account (on website and in store) there was still something else to turn on. Tech rep realised that there was a setting not applied. If you are running into problems, ask them to go into Features and make sure that Mobile Internet is enabled. Worked perfectly after rebooting phone.

both those tweaks are hit and miss..... I wouldn't recommend that anyone uses no 37, some people have reported serious problems after using it.....

internet explorer / connections woes

yes, i have opera too, but this is sitll pissing me off.
i've been messing around with my vario II to have it be online both through my corporate firewall/proxy as well as on a normal internet connection.
something messed up. now, internet explroer no longer connects. i've tried numerous methods:
1) wireless (802.11) - says page not found, even though every other app works
2) 3G - says "locating" for like 30 seconds then says page not found
3) bluetooth/activesync - immediately shows a page under construction website, even if i'm opening google. this is for every site.
any tips?
something seems to have disappeared from my "connections" settings - now i no longer see the work connection / option to configure proxy. all i see now is my default "home" connection which only give the options "add a new modem connection" and "manage existing connections".
everythign else works fine.
any ideas?

I had exactly the same problems -- for weeks (although not with opera).
Called half an hour ago and got HSDPA enabled on my line.
Now works like never before!
I'm having the same issue, except that PIE WILL work with wifi, but not EDGE/GPRS.
Every other app works fine (Opera, Google Maps, etc) via wifi and EDGE/GPRS.
this may be unrelated, but when I had activesync on the pc set to 'automatic' instead of 'work' it would push proxy settings to my phone. verify this has happened by putting *.* for exceptions. if you can surf then, you have a proxy set up due to activesync from your work pc. some of my connections didn't show the proxy, but in the registry it was there. setting work pc to passthrough=work rather than automatic stopped this from happening again.
hope this was clear enough.
wes
Thanks for the suggestion, but its still a no go.
It just boggles the mind that PIE doesn't work through GPRS/EDGE/3G but every other internet enabled app does... and that PIE will work through WiFi makes it even more strange.. Usually its the other way around for most people (problems with WiFi, not their mobile data connection).
I've even run the \windows\welcome.exe a few times, as this seems to have fixed it for some others.
I've also tried switching to wap.cingular (MEdia net), hard coding openDNS servers as well as the old standbys (4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2).

Unexplained change in browsing; help, please!

I have a hermes I was using with tmobile. All browsers I tried worked fine with most web pages I went to for a long time. Then a few days ago tmobile locked down their data network and I had to go through some settings acrobats to get my tzones plan to work again, but the sites I used most, like yahoo mail, didn't work.
I switched to Cingular today and am using the media max plan and I'm getting errors on several of the sites I use, still. Yahoo complained about something java related and Orb is giving me problems too. I use the file browser function of orb to navigate my home PC and download music to my phone and it will still navigate fine, but earlier when I tried to download a song I got some error message, and now when I try it says opening... for awhile then gives up saying something about a lost connection.
What could be the problem and how would I fix it?
Also, wifi is suddenly not working anymore. With tmobile I had it set up so that wifi would be used if available, and if not, the data connection would be used. I used this guy's settings to get around the proxy problem: post # 254 in this hofo thread.
Now after switching to Cingular and installing the settings cab called Cingular Default WAP Medianet MMS Settings.cab I can't browse with my wifi connection, but google maps and weatherpanel can still use it just fine.
What's up with that?

IE Connectivity Issues (Help)

So, I can't seem to find anyone that can help me. I have an 8525 with the official WM6 release. In December, a month after installing WM6, IE stopped being able to access webpages.
Whenever it starts, it loads the default AT&T/Windows Mobile home screen. If I click either of those links or type in a desired web address, it creates a data connection (sometimes 3G, sometimes edge), says "connecting...", locating... opening... and nothing loads. The screen stays white. I know that my data connection works fine, as I can use google maps, live mobile and send/receive e-mail. I'm not sure where the problem is, but I assume it is a setting issue. A couple days ago, I performed a hard reset and still encountered the problem. I have verified that my settings are per AT&T's posted recommendation.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
I should also note that if I connect to a WIFI signal, IE works, so it is definitely a settings issue. I just can't seem to figure out how to correct it and I haven't been able to find anyone who could help either. Any assistance would be appreciated!
thank you
I have the same exact problem. I solved it by installing Opera, which works fine.
Try looking in start>settings>connections>connections
then advanced tab
go to select networks
on the first drop down, make sure you have at&t's media net selected.
Hope that helps

Sudden issues with internet connectivity.

So to start with, I did use search
I have my HD with T-Mobile. Everything was working fine for months, until a few days ago.
I'm able to connect to the internet, however after 1-2 seconds, it seems like my phone stops sending/recieving data. Internet connection is still listed as active, yet the pages won't load etc, hitting refresh doesn't do anything.
Worth noting, most of the time, I don't get any errors in Opera, it just stops loading a page after 1-2 seconds. (It's the same with IE and every other online app) Sometimes I get 'ERROR - Could not locate remote server' in Opera.
Internet works fine over WLAN.
I can't link it to any software/rom. When it first happened, I've used Duttys 2.5, now switched to 2.9 and the problem persists. Also tried different Radios, different connection settings etc.
Any ideas ?

Maybe it's a network issue. Do you have a sim card for another network you could try?

Yeah, I tried. Same thing.
Any more ideas?
It's really wired, I rolled back to old HTC stock rom (still the same issue), installed stock 1.56 again ... and it's working. I have no idea what was the issue, especially considering how many times I've flashed it before and it was always there.
Oh well, I'm happy
Scratch that, forgot that the HD uses my PCs connection when plugged in.
So, it still doesn't work. Think I'll write to HTC, or is there anything else I could try doing?
Have you tried calling someone when you have the problems? After a couple of weeks-months a lot of people seem to have connectivity problems. I've sent mine back and hope to have it back soon!
I have this problem all the time for a week now. Everything but 3G internet works fine.
I did install SPB Wireless monitor yesterday, to check how is the data transfer.
Running the browser, hitting refresh each time, downloaded about 2KB of data (on average). (Same on both, 3 and T-Mobile)
Then, I've left youtube app and browser on - after about 40 minutes, it managed to download most of the youtube app start page and most of one of the pages I've opened with the browser. Data rate was highly random, often not downloading anything for a couple of minutes. In total, it was about 1.1 MB.
Then, after those 40 minutes - it didn't download anything any more for another hour or so. After that (the connection was still active), I've refreshed the browser and tried to load a different tab in youtube app, but for another hour or so no data was transferred.
did you install a new radio? and ifso did you also install the corosponding rilphone.dll?? maybe you can use hd tweak and set the data connection you use to always on. this works fine for me
Yeah, I tried a few radios (with dlls). Didn't help.
Data connection stays on, for hours. (without tweaking, which I find kind of strange).
As I said before, it's not an issue with disconnecting. Connection stays on, yet data is not being downloaded properly.
which data plan are you using?
Also can you navigate here and see if this is like your problem (post 22 and down):

Thanks
It's web'n'walk. (uk)
However, it's certainly not an issue with t-mobile, as it works exactly the same on '3' as well.
I'm running out of ideas here really. Seems like no one so far (including HTC tech support) had the same issue.
I think the only possibility is, that it is hardware related somehow.
Hi Volw, did you find a fix for this? This is happening to my bosses phone.
Hi... is it my impression or is you Touch HD's behaviour similar to this ?
Sorry for the link, but didn't want to repost...
I think you're not alone!
Have you tried a hard reset? In my case it solved until I disconnected from my home network again!
I hope I can help (so little) in detect the specific circumstances in which the error occurs....
My solution, since I had mine for less than 30 days was going to the shop where I bought mine, swaped for a brand new one and I kept for the firmware that came from factory... didn't flash for the current official rom (cooked roms are out of the question for now - with all do respect) and I'm very very reluctant in flashing my new TouchHD. I even flashed the first unit twice but I kept having the same problem.
Now I'm affraid of flashing this one and going back to the shop with a second phone in the same condition...
Still with the installed firmware from factory (previous from the current oficial) I still get a few minutes for it to "see" the active HSDPA connection after disconnecting Wifi!
Sorry if i deviated a bit from subject... just trying to help.
Regards,
MD
I have exactly the same issue. I've had my HD for about 6 weeks and the Wifi has always worked fine with my home network. But then suddenly one day last week it stopped working.
It's still connected, but no data is being transferred. I can't update the weather or browse the web.
I've tried playing with all the settings and connected to my neigbours unsecured wifi network, but still nothing works.
This is particularly annoying because data is not part of my contract, so wifi was my only way downloading files, updating things etc.
Anyone had any luck solving the issue yet?

Hi guys, I had exact the same problem.
I'm on O2 Germany network and figured out, that when disabling HSDPA and only using 3G I never had that problem anymore.
I mean although I had full HSDPA connection, Opera was sometimes able to load the Websites, but most of the time the loading failed (mostly the first page load was ok, but all other calls ended in a blank screen, or the "Could not locate remote server"...). This is pretty strange and I would love to use the HSDPA connection again, but for now disabling HSDPA is the only solution for me
greetz giniman
EDIT: I had this behaviour with the stock ROM and also with Dutty's V3.3 which I'm running right now. What I was thinking is, that maybe the auto switching between GPRS/3G/HSDPA is damaging the connection???
HTC HD / Blackstone connection issue
I have the same problem in SG - Opera does not load web page some times, even when the 3G/HSDPA icon is flashing on the top bar, and that the Data Connection in CommMgr is showing green.
I have to click on the Data Connection in CommMgr again (which will not go off), and the connection back up again.
These happen to other internect connectivity as well. Usually happen in the first connection (of each app) to the internet after I restart the phone.

Internet Issues on some applications

Hello,
I'm using my HD since it was released without major issue.
But since yesterday I have some issues with the internet connection over WiFi. I'm not using the connection from my operator because I have no data option and 1Mo cost about 10CHF (a bit less than 10$US...). The data connections are blocked by GPRS No Data (and HD Tweak there is the same option) it was working perfect till now.
I'm connected to my WiFi connection (I've tried at home and at work), and I can update the weather without any problem, I can also use the YouTube app, it's working fine. But others programs cannot connect, like Opera (very annoying), RSS... Also no more working with Facebook app, I've just installed it yesterday, and I had to install it with the USB connection because opera wouldn't connect (it's at this time I've notice the problem). When I've tried the facebook app yesterday it was working ok but a bit slowly, then today I've tried again and it's not working at all...
And the error message appear very quickly in all cases, like it didn't try to connect at all.
The problem should be somewhere with the connections settings because yesterday I was trying to configure MMS as I was not able to get it (and I'm still no able but I'm barely not using it), I'm pretty sure to set it back like before but it's so bull**** with all these settings everywhere.
I've tried a lot of thing, I restart many times, what can I try before the hard reset (I'll do it only if there is no other way because I've installed so many things on it, and I don't have time to do it again now).
Thanks in advance

Try a couple of things:
1. Go to Settings > Connections > Wifi > Wireless Networks > Network Adaptors and set 'My network card connects to' to The Internet
2. Go to Settings > Connections > Wifi > Advanced > Power Mode and set this to best performance
Soft reset and then let me know if this works
I had already try these step (except the performance/battery setting).
Anyway I was trying another time, I really don't know which change resolve the problem but after changing something for the X times I try Opera and it was not working, then I try the weather, it was working, and then Facebook app, it was working, and then ActivSync was able to sync my exchange data again and then opera was working again (without restart).
It's very stange and I don't like not to know what was the issue and even why it's working again suddenly... Maybe conflict between special app like Advance config, HD Tweak, Diamond TF3D Config, ChangeScreen, Lumos, ...
But now I don't wanna try to change anything since it's working correctly.
Thanks for the help by the way.
