Cannot connect with current connection

When I try to sync I keep getting the message "Cannot connect with current connection settings" But it allows me on the internet. What settings (if any) should I use?

are your settings correct??
(we need to know which ROM you sue aswell as your exchange provider)

Rom is Dutty's WM 6 medium
Settings I double checked
Exchange provider is 4smartphone

restart your device...
as in a soft reset...

There is a list of ActiveSync error codes/messages on the MS web site and the ones that relate to your error message are:
0x85020006 - Cannot connect with current connection settings.
To change your connection setting, tap Settings. This error code is typically caused by not having a valid network or modem connection set up. Check your connection settings, and then try to synchronize again.

0x8502000B - Cannot connect with current connection settings.

Go to Start | Programs | ActiveSync, then when Activesync loads, go to Menu | Options and you'll see the Exchange Server sync details - tap on Settings | Next, then the Advanced button and you'll see what connection the server is configured to use....it should be "Internet". If it's not, then you probably need to re-configure the whole Exchange Activesync set up.
EDIT: ....assuming Walshieau's suggestion of a soft reset doesn't sort it
HTH,
Mark.

I did a soft reset as walshieau suggested, it didn't fix it.
Double checked the stetting to make sure it is on "internet" as Mark Crouch suggested, it didn't fix it.

i found after about 20 hours, this started happening to me too. only outlook though. IE worked fine.
quitting activesync then rechecking my email fixed it.
even though that isn't what this thread stated, it gave me the idea thanks Mark Crouch

Any more follow up with this? I've been having the same issue, with no resolution yet.

I just gave up and am now using opera for the internet. It bugs me though that I can't just figure it out.

Got it...
First make sure the settings are correct for your device.
The connection that must be used is "the internet" not your 3G connection.

If you receive the error messege "Cannot connect with current connection" disconnect your USB cable. For me the error was caused by active sync

He might mean, go to:
settings> connections > connections > advanced > select network >
And set both of the two options to whatever your main 3G connection is called.

When I go to select network I have 3 options
Media net (which is set right now)
Work
Isp
Then below that I have another 3 options
Media net (which is set right now)
Work
Isp
So both accounts are set up on Media net but I still can't connect. Any other ideas?

I haven't used another rom in a long time. I just can't believe it would be this rom because I seem to be the only one with this problem.

Yeah I am with ATT. I think what I might do is flash another rom. I tried a few different cabs that were suppose to set up the proxy settings but still nothing. Oh well. Thanks for your help

Google Activation

OK, I got the G1 unlocked, using it with my Claro chip from central America, I configured the apn to the carrier settings, I see the edge simbol on the phone with the arrow pointing up working but not the one pointing one, after many attemps even in "safe mode" I cannot get pass the google account activation screen. Every time I get the error " cannot communicate with google servers" Can anyone help? is there a workaround the Google activation. Thanks

cannot communicate with google server error is internet problem.. you can use another carrier sim to do this. Its one of the ill advised requirement of this beautiful phone, An option for connecting google through WIFI would have been brilliant, but..
bR

Here is how I did it. I booted the phone up and when it comes to the screen where it says touch the android to begin, you hit the Menu button. At the bottom you will see APN Settings, Click it then scroll down to T-Mobile US and change the settings in there to the one your network requires. Make sure you get the settings correct or it might not work. Check around for right settings. Then go back and begin the process of signing up and it should go through with no problem if you have the settings correct. Also if you cant use data on your current plan it wont work. If you have a data plan or pay per kb then it will work if settings are correct. Good Luck

Still no luck, my provider only has the APN server and the username and password for it, notting more, and those settings work well on the iPhone, so I have no idea why they don't work with the G1. Any ideas?

I have the same problem now, using the HTC magic. Were you able to solve your problem?

please don't necro 2 year old threads.. but all you need to do to bypass google is click the android > skip setup > and choose the 3rd options "Set Up Later"
Then sync via wifi when you get a chance later on.

Problem with Twitter app Peep

Am I just being a tool? (Don't answer that)
I can't seem to select a link in a tweet on the new HTC HD2 twitter app in Sense. If it try to select a link or twitpic it just brings up a menu asking if I want to reply to the tweet. In other twitter clients it takes you to the picture or brings up the internet.
Also, it doesn't seem to be updating if I click 'Update now' in the menu. I just get a 'Download error'. It says it's connected to my HSDPA network

OK I might have just answered my own question
It appears you have to select the person and go to their profile, in there you can actually double click on the link and it takes you to Opera.
Still not sure about the 3g connection problem though.
Anyone else getting this?
Seems to work fine over wi-fi

Yes I experience the same problem when connected via 3G. Mine also works fine when connected to wi-fi too. Tried it again at the station this morning and again it failed to update or connect via 3G. Not sure what the problem is?!?

I have problem with posting to Twitter on wifi and on 3G (or GPRS), i dont know what was a problem, but after hardreset is it OK, only auto download doesnt work, manually updates, posting, profiles, everything OK on any connection (AS, WIFI,3G...)

tiny url not working
anyone has this problem?

Strange 'L' appeaiorng before url in Peep
Hi All
This is a bit strange. I'm using Peep and it's mostly OK. The only problem I'm experiencing is when I use the 'insert maplink' geo-tag feature...it shortens the url but puts an 'L' before the shortened url.
Example -
L:http://tinyurl.com/yd32dsm
If I then check it in Twitter, the addition of the 'L' stops the link being clickable. It doedn't seem to matter which shortening service I use
Obviously, I can manually remove the 'L' from Peep before updating, but it's a bit of a pain. Anyone else getting the same problem?
Cheers
Steve

Nope not getting that problem on Geo tagging I use TinyURL.
Ref opening links you can open them straight from twitter feed but you have to be exact where you press and just a quick tab not a long one. It can sometimes be annoying but I think I must just have the knack.Also opera being open quickens the process.

Hello,
I also see the problem with connecting to twitter. I have not tried over WLan but when I try over normal 3G I get an error that connection to twitter was not successful. I have typed the correct login credentials.
Very strange...

my issue is that i deleted a msg on my pc but it still remains in peep

This is the issue I have. With the stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM, Peep actually worked fine over GSM/3G and WiFi even though everything else on the phone was buggy, laggy and unstable.
Using 1.61 I now have the experience where Peep and MSN messenger will only connect through WiFi. If I try to connect with GSM/3G I get the connection error. Is this issue present in 1.48, as I'm thinking of giving that a try.

i also cannot connect over gprs, how strange.
has any fix been found yet?

Thats a general twitter thing, I think. I've seen a lot of apps behave like that

Same problem here!
It worked once or twice but generally it doesn't. Really annoying as it is one of the features I would like to use most.

Wohoo!!! Fixed it. The key is that you need to update the connections database, reboot and THEN disable the proxy.
1) Goto Settings > Wireless Controls > Tap Data Connection (the label, not the switch)
2) Tap menu, then Update Database
3) Follow the instructions and then OK the reboot.
4) Once restarted, goto Settings > Menu, All Settings. Then Connections, Connections again, then Set up my proxy server.
5) Disable the proxy and you're all set.
WOHOO!!!!

HD2 APN settings

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.
Cheers

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.

WP7-HD2 Internet connection

Im unable to connect to tmobile. I can make calls, but i cant connect to their internet. I just got the WP7 rom today and havent been able to activate my live account. And because I have no internet, i cant finish http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911579, making it impossible to activate my live account. any suggestions, other than wifi?

i think you have to switch on your data-connection (settings - mobile connections - data connections toggle to "on") and maybe to set up your proper apn there, too.
