Suddenly PIE doesn't browse to websites! Stuck "Locatin

Enough is enough.
I had the same **** with my old PDA2K and now again with the Exec... I've spent 20 hours thus far on that ****. I just hard reset my machine yesterday and now again this **** happens and I cannot fix it.
I am surfing using UMTS/GPRS.. My definitions are FINE. There's only one connection. It was always fine that way on both the pda2k and the new exec.. but it stopped working now... it could be that some program messed up this ****, but i wouldn't know which.
Trying to browse to a site.. I get PIE saying 'Locating..." then after a minute or so saying "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded blah blah blah"... But the 3GUMTS is connected just fine.. Note that MSN Messenger doesn't work as well (I think that's because it's uses the core engine the PIE uses). Strangely, using networking utilities (vx) I can ping with the machine and even get HTML pages using web addresses. So the problem is not DNS and not a connection problem.. Just probably some damn problem with the operating system not recognizing something.. The 3rd party vxutilities for networking are bypassing that **** hence why they can browse the network just fine.
Tried deleting temp internet files and cookies nada... I also tried soft reset (about 20 times).. nada.... tried deleting the connection and recreating... nada... tried searchiong the registry for my connection name after deleted to see if traces exists.. nada...
Getting tired of this ****.. only hardreset solved it last time and i'm getting sick of becoming the machine's slave rather then the machine being my slave.
Help would be grately apprecaited..... I am sure it's ****ed up registry entry or something like that... I don't have many programs isntalled on my machine as I just hard reseted yesterday and my machine is in rather clean condition except for must have apps.
Help...SOS..

Check your proxy server info (in connections).
My XDA exec just loves to grab my work proxy server and try use that for accessing the web when wifi is active.

Thanks for trying to help...
but that's not the issue.. it's wwaayy deeper than that... ( i would have found it after 20 hours of trying had it been this easy ...
No proxy whatsoever. I never used Wifi. No work setup.. only "My ISP Setup".
anybody else? I'm offering $20 by paypal for the kind soul who can help stop my frustration WITHOUT hardresetting my machine or doing drastic moves. I need a permanent solution. If I solve it before so.. I will post my fix here...

UPDATE:
It's working now, though I don't like the solution, I changed in 'Connections' to connect through 'My Work Network' although I don't actually have any work network and I'm using it the same way I used the "My ISP" connection. It may stop working again though. i'll update.. but I still don't get it why the normal My ISP which always worked stopped working.

Are you, maybe, using the SBSH Weather?Are you, maybe, using the SBSH Pocket Weather?
For me the same thing started after I installed SBSH PW…

com'on someone please help me out here. i'll donate another 20 euro to this site if i find a solution... What I did yesterday (changed it so that it will use only the 'My work' profile both both internet and work worked fine.. but only for 24 hours. it now doesn't work again even after multiple softresets as well as deleting and defining the account again.. what a frustartion.
Now only that i cannot use PIE, I cannot use Terminal Server as well.. which is a bummer

Toggle flight mode on and then off.

Have ever try to remove check box of proxy in network tab? With mine it works.

proxy issue
I noticed the same thing on my wizard, I think it may be caused by an internet explorer automatic configuration script. When I manually provide the ip address and port number of the proxy server, the problem does not appear. I changed this in Internet Explorer running on my PC and in the Work connection on my phone. I have also changed the setting in Active Sync to choose the Work Network setting by default instead of automatic.
The only way I got Internet Explorer back to work was after a hard reset.
It did not happen again in the past 1,5 week. I have been restoring the same backup after each of these hardresets so I had an identical install everytime. It seems to be fine now.
I don't know how WM5 handles Active Directory policies (if it handles them at all) that may change your IE settings as well.

Re: proxy issue
"Check your proxy server info (in connections).

My wizard does the same, it will work for a week or so and try using some random proxy for no reason!
I just uncheck the proxy tick box and the wifi connection works great with internet explorer. (well usually I tear my hear out for 5 mins and then realise its the proxy!)

i had same problem! but opera browser would work fine!
i am also using spb weather but i dont think its that
i tried a few things but iv noticed if u keep the ie cach setings and location as default it may be fine, after not changing the ie cache location iv not had this problem, where asbefre i always used my card for ie cache.
all working fine now inc spb weather

PIE stuck at Locating
Hi mobiler,
I hope you have found a more permanent solution to your problem. I own an MDA Pro with TMobile UK and recently bacame plagued with the same symptoms which you reported, i.e., pocket explorer and opera mobile stuck at locating and not able to browse the web. Through some helpful suggestions on this thread I managed to find a solution which you may or may not have already tried. Like most people, I use my MDA pro at home on my home wireless Wifi network, and while away at work I use its GPRS/UMTS capabilities. I had no reason to think that these two features of the MDA Pro had any interactions with each other. In fact, I seem to remember reading somewhere that separate pieces of internal hardware provide these features. However, to my surprise/dismay I discovered that somehow the Wifi and GPRS/UMTS settings on the MDA pro are linked together. For example, if you setup a proxy server in the GPRS modem settings, which I recently did, without notifying you the Wifi connection also tries to use the same proxy setting. Vice versa if you setup a specific IP address and Gateway in your Wifi settings the GPRS modem connection also tries to use those settings and failing. The solution for getting back to normal internet browsing was to remove the proxy in modem connection by using its automatic settings ,and to tick the server assigned IP address for Wifi. This is a less than satisfactory solution, however, at least things are back to where they were before. I remain very puzzled at the interaction between these features and am dismayed and frustrated that there is nothing in the step by step procedures in each setting that warn you about a possible impact on the other.

Proxy settings: exclude IP

Hi,
first thing I want to say, this is a very great board. Just flashed my first cooked rom on my german HTC Kaiser (t-mobile brand) and I'm very impressed by all the things the people here in the board get out of this little phone ;-)
But know I have a problem, I could find no answer for.
I am using a ssh tunnel on my device to tunnel some of my internet connections which are established through my mobile provider.
For this I'm using Mobile putty's tunnelling support to create a local socks proxy through which I tunnel my connections. The problem is, some applications like mobile outlook doesn't seem to have proxy support, so the only chance i see to tunnel them is, to tell windows mobile in the connection settings to use the proxy for all of my connections. The problem about that is, I think, then my putty would'nt be able conect to the ssh server, because it would be also forced to connect through the proxy, although it is the proxy itself (i hope this is unterstandable, because English is not my native language ;-) .
So I'm searching for a way to do an exclusion like it is possible under a non mobile windows to say for example, "don't use the proxy for this addresses", or something like freecap with tunnels applications without proxy support through a socks proxy. But I didn't find this setting nor a tool do accomplish this.
So Is there a way to do this unter windows mobile 6.1?
Another nice thing would be a tool, to dynamically switch between a direct connection and a proxy, so if there's a way for this too, I would be very happy to learn about that either.
Thanks for your help,
bcom

Proxy settings - Wireless

I can't seem to find where to set HTTP/Socks proxy settings for applications using WIFI networking on my Xperia. Basically I'd like to do this so I can use Pandora here in Hong Kong.
Any ideas?

i asked this question before >.> no one answered ;P

Not sure but wouldnt that be dependant on your carrier. might need to look your carriers website

in opera u could try setting them manualy with "opera:config" as URL
never tried it

There's no way you can connect through a proxy with your AP. The connection with the AP (wireless connection) is established directly. If you want to use a proxy when you're connected to the wifi, it is up to the application that you use for browsing/do the networking.
For windows there's Proxycap,..etc., apps that "proxyfies" anything. I don't know if there's one for WM.
There's PUTTY for WM (ssl tunneling software), bot i don't know if this is useful for you.

According to the SE tech support, it is not possible to set up a proxy through WiFi. You need to use a browser that you can enter your proxy setting into, such as SkyFire. That is the only way I have been able to get it working.

T-Mobile web2go hack and JAVA Applications

Hello friends...
so i came to a link posted here by someone on getting EDGE (T-Mobile USA ) network on out Windows Mobile phone using proxy..
(here's the link http://www.ehow.com/how_4833301_conf...ws-mobile.html)
when i opened Internet Explorer....there were no sites i could open...except it showed me an error message from T-Mobile that i need to use a MONTHLY BASED PLAN...
HOwever to my surprise i opened YAHOO MOBILE(m.yahoo.com) on OPERA 10 beta 2 and bravo.....IT WORKED...that means i could check my emails...
however other sites did not opened and gave the same error message !!
ALso then i opened up a JAVA APPLICATION Called "SNAPTU" ( http://www.getjar.com/mobile/18108/s...-kp500-cookie/ )
it asked me to connect to the internet and i gave permisions !! and it worked as well !! i was able to access FAcebook....CNN...BBC...etc...
but again OPERA MINI 5 did not work !!!
is it becos of the java apps connecting via proxy...if so please tell me some java apps that will work just like SNAPTU....
PLEASE TELL ME !! IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAKE IT REALLY WORK !!
thank you !

Is only T-zones enabled?

Opera mini doesn't support proxied connection because it uses a tunnel through socks or http, that includes the tzone wap proxy. Opera mobile however does. Not sure why Internet explored doesn't work but it sucks so I wouldn't touch it anyways. U need to configure ie to use a proxy before anything else. I believe opera mobile autodetects it

You can do PPTP vpn if u need to, web proxy is so last century..

There's no wifi proxy baked into android. This makes it useless for most enterprise networks, I.e. you can't use an android with a radius server for enterprise WPA authentication and proxy. Apparently we might be getting it in gingerbread.
If you look in the general android discussion there's a kludge that kinda works.
Your other option is to get an iPhone, ios has had support for wifi proxy/ enterprise wpa from the get go.
I know, it's ridiculous, blame Google...

Is it possible to do on X8 ?

It won't work if you are connecting via ad-hoc. You may install connectify to your laptop and use that internet connection for your x8/whatever phone/device.

wifi
Isn't any app that can help up with the proxy settings?
I am beginning to get sick of this phone and this OS, no wifi proxy, no way to install to SD card except of hundreds of steps, google navi doesn't work, get's stucked at the beginning, exagerated price for unlocking...

Try custom Rom.. floyo has proxy in settings
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

As I see you posted in this thread Racht, I ask you how to configure an OpenVPN in Floyo.
Do I have to install something ?
I tried with a .conf file but I don't know where to put the .ca certificate.
I also tried to install OpenVPN config.
Have you got a link to a good tutorial ?
Thanks.

hi, please u check for ASProxy from market, it works for me.. but it is paid version.. and required rooted device only..

I thought about a custom rom, but it seems I couldn't find a stable one here, all have bugs with either bluetooth, camera or gps, and maybe I am too blind to find an xrecovery link to download it.Do you have a link with a good rom? Thanks in advance
