Internet connection problem - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hello. I hope its ok to ask this question here.
I have a samsung saga from verizon.
The other day it ran out of storage space. (not sure why , I thought I had everything cached to the sd card)
Anyway the phone crashed, and rebooted. Many things got reset .
My connections were all gone.
I created a new connection to dial #777. It does connect to the internet. I then had to configure opera, and outlook to use the new connection.
Still some programs will not use the new connection . (google maps, Bing, Windows media player)
Does anyone know what I can do other than a hard reset to fix this.
Thanks

Connecting, connecting, connecting.......

Activesync just keeps trying to connect and is never successful. I have re-installed Activesync on my pc but it didn't help. Also, my work pc doesn't connect either. Definately a problem with my 8125. All has been well for a couple months and I have added no new software before the problem started. This problem also happened about two weeks after I got the phone and the only resolution was a hard reset. What a pain reinstalling all the software and settings I have now, it's customized just the way I like it. Anyone know how to re-install Activesync on JUST the phone or have any other ideas?
Try the latest activesync 4.2 beta and disable any firewalls if possible on the pc. On the device start activesync application and go to menu\options - delete pc that you are syncing with and try again.
Deleted profiles on both pcs installed beta on one. Still no connecting. Tried clicking SYNC on phone, pauses for a second then nada. No connection.
Have you deleted profiles on the device? and disable firewalls, and if you have a network adapter enable it because latest activesync treats the connection with device as a network - there are many posts on this issue do a search and read through some - seem to be many different factors involved.
First- Thanks for the replies Mark
I removed the PC profiles from my 8125. Also reinstalled Activesync 4.2 on my work pc. Nothing. Although this time I got an error message- Cannot find the file "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=65257&clcid=0x409" (or one of its components) Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all libraries are available". Like I would know what that means. Anyways, no firewall enabled. Besides, this should not be happening, all of a sudden, on 2 separate pcs. That kinda rules out a pc problem. It has to be in the phone. That, and the fact that a hard reset fixed it last time. I'm thinking something corrupted in Activesync on the phone???
And searching on this forum is useless. I type in "connecting Activesync" and every post with either word shows up. 614 in just Wizard forums alone. Is there a way to search so that ONLY posts with both words show up? That way I can modify my wording until I find something useful. Search for any terms or use query as entered is ticked. On other forums you can just use quotation marks but not this one. It makes searching very difficult. ROB
Oh, and yes my network adapters are still enabled as always.
Yes best to search with the word AND cuts out all the other stuff i.e. activesync AND connection would do it. Yep sounds like it may be the device.
found couple of posts that seem to be relevant

Happy reading, the last post is about connecting activesync via bluetooth so maybe thats an option.
Thanks Mark. I think I may try the bluetooth connection when I get home tonight. Or I may just throw in the towel and do a hard reset. that worked last time. Plus, I can install the latest ROM upgrade. Shame theres no way to uninstall and reinstall Activesync on the phone. Seems that should do the trick (maybe). Just tried my friends 8125 on my work pc- syncs just fine. So much for all the pc fixes everyone seems to be trying.
I had the same problem with AS refusing to connect via usb or BT.
In the end i went & purchased (although the demo version would have done) Sprite backup. installed on the PC. Browsed to the install dir to find the cab file. copied to my wizard (wifi, or sd card reader etc).
Insatlled & backed up to SD card
Hard reset
restore
stop here if you're happy, if not
AS to sync calender & contacts to pc
hard reset
update ROM
AS contacts, cal, docs etc back to wizard
install SW & settings
BACKUP
Yep. Had to hard reset. All is working again. Crappy Activesync. What's up with this P.O.S. ? Trying to setup bluetooth now and the pc finds the phone but AS won't connect. The phone finds the pc (HomeCenter) but it shows no services available. I'm assuming that there should be some listed (maybe Activesync?) Guess I'll have to do some searching for bluetooth problems with AS now. Did I mention that AS is a P.O.S??? But you all knew that already. :lol:
Dont forget to open a port in you BT settings (on the pc) and tell AS (also on the pc) to accept connections on that port.
Then your wizard should be able to see the AS service on the pc (you initiate the sync from the phone, not the pc)
I have had this problem since day one, and continue to have it despite several (more than 15) hard resets, multiple ROMs, multiple pertnerships etc. I plug in my PPC USB, and it just says "connecting" forever. Every time, after plugging in my USB, I have to shut off my PPC, and turn it back on. Then my laptop finds and connects with my PPC, and syncs all my data like it should. If I do this more than 3 times, my laptop crashes and reboots. If anyone has figured out how to fix this, let me know.

ActiveSync will NOT start dataconnection / no push

I have this IRRITATING problem.
Using an exchange hosted service (4smartphone). Works like a charm, until --- for no reason apparent to me - ActiveSync decides NOT to run. It is supposed to run shortly after boot, start the GPRS/3G data connection, and sync. But it just will NOT start a data connection. It just sits there.
I have deleted my server settings and reentered them. I have deleted my ISP data and reentered them.
I had this once before, and the only thing that fixed it was a hard reset. ....
Any advice appreciated. LOTS.
DUDE i figured this out the other day b/c i had the same problem. go to ur windows folder there is a file called "repllog.exe" click on it and all will be saved. never again will we have to hard reset b/c active sync doesnt work.

Shot in the dark but did you try this?
Programs
Activesync
Menu
Schedule
Check "Use above settings when roaming"
Check "Send outgoing items immediately"
This was my issue since my TyTn thinks it's roaming all the time when it's actually not.
Thanks for the suggestions.
(1) Did try checking the use while roaming checkbox: njet, nada, did not help.
(2) Next time will try the replog suggestion. Thanks!
Somehow or other I fixed it myself. Don't ask me what I did. I THINK I did this
- rebooted PC
- rebooted Tytn
- wait till both had booted and had stopped rattling and seemed happy
- attachted the Tytn to the PC with the USB cable
- ActiveSync started
- the second the status said SYNCHRONIZED, unplugged
- the Tytn started the data connection
Me happy.
Who knows what cured it. Hours of fooling and cursing?

IMHO it was definitely the cursing. Another sure fire solution to almost all Hermes probs is the threat to throw in the dustbin, stamping of feet and alcohol.

VPN over GPRS/3G

Hi there,
I have a serious problem which I need to solve because it is crucial.
I've used VPN for very long time without any problem with my Trinity.
Few days ago I tried to connect my VPN and the phone just continue to dial forever. The connections application in Settings became inresponsive i.e. I was unable to cancel the dial. After several soft resets and many swears I found that the GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection work perfect and the problem is not the network. I test the VPN with my PC and it worked too. I've deleted the settings from the connections panel and from the registry itself and recreated it all again. No luck at all.
I've totaled my options ... so I'm asking anyone willing to help with this issue.
No specific network applications are currently installed on my device except WMWifiRouter. I've tried Hamachi but it is now uninstalled. The VPN was working perfectly with or without WMWifiRouter & Hamachi. I'm sure of it.
I have a similar Problem, try this: delete all your WiFi Settings and reboot then the VPN over GPRS will probably work, till you connect to any WiFi next time..... I am also stuck in the next here.
I hard reset several times while it start working again.
The problem was not the wifi because after first few HR (they delete everything) the VPN was still not working.
This was a mystery for me.
P.S. It seems that this OS was written in the breaks between classes by retarded students. Although it has no real alternative for the moment.

Windows live connection problem

Hi, I have a very annoying problem with IPAQ 111 WM6.
I setup wi-fi and bluetooth (connect to my cellphone using tethering).
Now, I just turn on wi-fi and leave bluetooth off. I can surf internet, even wondows live site.
I pressed function key to start messaging, I can check my emails in Gmail and yahoo. But once checking windows live email (manfully click send/receive), it did not use current wi-fi, instead it tried to dial my bluetooth modem. Since bluetooth is disabled, it can not connect of cause. But it kept on trying and no way to stop it! ? No, there is a brutal way - soft reset.
I searched the forum and internet but could not find a clue. I suspect ce-star, but it turned out no the issue (I uninstalled it and problem still there).
Anyone experienced similar problem?
Thanks
I have exactly the same problem with this **** live as i'm using EDGE at work and Wi-Fi at home, and when I turn off EDGE leave Wi-Fi to check my Live mail the Live tries to establish EDGE connection :/
I guess this way will work for ya:
1) turn off Bluetooth and WiFi
2) close (terminate) "Messaging"
3) start WiFi and wait when it connects
4) go to Start->Programs->Microsoft Live and tap on Synchronization
I guess you can always use step 4 as regular mail synchronization, DO NOT USE Messaging to synchronize
if your situation persists, you'd better delete your current Live account and re-create it at step 4, so that Live will be setup during WiFi connection only
Let me know if this helps, plz
Thanks but, no luck
Thanks for your information, I followed your steps but no luck.
I guess it is stupid windows live problem. At least it should stop after a few tries. It just keep on trying and used all the resource and I have to soft reset it.
I am so sick of it so I removed windows live messaging totally, hopefully I will not use hotmail too much.
Regards,
Shiping

Extract/Restore calender + contacts

My HD2 is almost useless right now, sense wont start, hard buttons stopped working, cannot sync with windows media center, list goes on...
phone has been working with no problems for 6 months.
Am about ready to hard reset.
I need a way to backup the file that windows 6.5 saves ALL the calender information ( from the very first entry ever to the most recent) so that after I hard reset I would be able to just overwrite the default blank file with the old one and see them all again(calender entries).
same goes with contacts.
Microsoft my phone has stopped working, says cannot connect (0x85010001), along with a number of other programs( including Windows Marketplace). Ideally I could get microsoft my phone to work again and i would just back it up there....
connection problems (including that my wifi works, connects to my router, but once connected, it kills my internet connection on the router and is only restored once i disconnect my HD2 from it) started when i installed one of those kill all data programs when i was travelling and didnt want to accidentally use data while roaming. If there is any way to restore all connection setting for program allowances and default wifi settings, please help as well, this may be the ticket to get microsoft My phone to work.
im dieing....phone turned from a dream to a nightmare of a headache.
any help will be ultra appreciated
hey try and give the battery a pull also remove the sd card. Put battery back in, make sure your drivers for wmdc are up to date so the phone can connect to the computer properly. also usb mode should be set to activesync. assuming wmdc can connect you could simply sync outlook with you phone backing up everything you choose including contacts and calendar entries.
