Moved to general as not rom development-
Check your settings and see if don't have any proxy settings.
Use the search button this is a common question in the site,

I have searched all over the board and don't have a solution. My wifi at home works but doesn't with hotspots: dunkin donuts, mcdonalds, etc. and also anything with a good signal that doesn't have a password.
I don't have a data plan. All I want to do is use wifi anywhere I can. I've deleted all profiles in GPRS and Proxy as I assume I don't need it cuz I don't have a data plan.

Come on guys! This is killing me! Mr. Clown Heeelllp!

What rom and browser are U using?

I'm using the 2.6 beta. The latest rom doesn't work either. It connects in some places but most places it doesn't. I don't have a data plan. All I want to do is use the net for Palringo or the Facebook app.

Have you considered a hard reset or reflashing your phone to see if that helps.

Tried all ROMs still no work. No I'm on a stock rom 6.5 and not even my house works anymore. Anyone know if there is a replacement for Com Manager?
This is getting so old.

I am connected to my wifi at home but nothing works. I tried that program on the other thread and it still doesn't work.
I only want wifi, do I need to mess with anything in the connection options? GPRS is off, Proxy is empty.

it also uses an insane about of resources and eat away at the battery life. but it is eye candy.
but i dont have internet so it wont work
Well then... nothing's gonna work you need net to use anything IM wise.....
just use the t-zones proxy hack and you can get internet for 5.99 a month. I beleive there is an IM program out there that doesn't use the internet, but I don't remember the name. Search the closed 7.5 forum as I believe someone posted the name of the IM program and a cab.

That is impossible.... What are you going to talk to bots? If it doesn't use internet how are you going to connect to the people that are online??????
Somewhere in some thread, I have no idea where as I have read thousands of posts, I thought that a few people made mention to some IM program that went through text messaging. Maybe I'm wrong, but if I'm not its a nice option.

if your IM worked with the proxy before it should work now too. Just go in and plug in all the proxy settings, install one of the many IM cabs and give it a try.
i got th etzone to work again, is there a way that it stay connected cuz usually i have to reconnect to the internet then go back on aim

Huge problem in R2AA006 with Internet

hey guys i hope you can help. Heres my problem:
the preinstalled browsers like opera and IE cant use my internet connection (gprs). it seems like they dont habe the permission to use it because if i hit the "enter" key there nothing happening in the IE. In opera there coming that its a network problem.
In th R1 firmware it was like this: i entered an adress, i hit enter, on the top of my screen a bubble popped up telling me the gprs connection is established. in R2 firm it just does nothing. theres coming no bubble.
Anybody know how to fix this? it's pretty mad to have an high-end business phone which cant connect to the internet!
Check the internet settings!
Or set them manually - call your operator.

It is definately a Problem with Windows Mobile! The Beta Version of Mozilla's Fennec can connect to the internet. But its so damn slow that i dont wanna use it! So, any solutions ?
There is an other browser called Skyfire. I use that one all the time and I love it. I think it is stable, fast and good looking. You even can go to YouTube with it. Give it a try!
Greets!
back again. now i know why the programs cant access the internet, but i dont know how to solve it they try to connect to a VPN connection which is not existing. Also i cant set up a UMTS connection.

BlackBerry Connect Working on Rhodium

Thanks for your workaround and I managed to get my BB Connect working on my Touch Pro 2 and I am using BIS.
Blackberry Connect is Working on HTC TouchPro2
Dear All,
Rejoice HTC TouchPro2 owners. Blackberry connect for working on HTC Touchpro 2 now. Just follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4150074&postcount=35 this web-link and you will achieve your intentions.
Can't get it working for long on mine
I have followed the instructions given in the link, and can get BBConnect 106 to work on my TP2, but only for a while ...
The BBConnect 106 loads, I get BES connection, email, contacts, calendar, notes and tasks downloaded ... manage to send and receive a few email, then it all stop ... with some very strange behaviour.
I have tried everything I can think of to get it working consistently, but can't manage it. I get the impression that the BBConnect is being loaded some place where it should be ... not very technical I know, but thats the way it appears.
The TP2 I have is a Hong Kong English Language version ... WWE ... not sure if that makes a difference.
ROM and Radio version ...
The version I have on my TP2 are
ROM 1.19.721.3 (51489) WWE
Radio: 3.44.25.27
And to correct my typo in the previous note, I think the BBConnect is being loaded shmewhere it shouldn't be loaded, which is causing other features and functions of the phone to mis-behave ... as an example, I was unable to search for new networks manually ... lost the Roaming flag on the top of the screen (small triangle sign), was always displaying GPRS connection, even when not connected to the network (so E (edge), or G being displayed ...)
I also tried version 104 of the BBconnect, just to see if it was version 106 specific, but this didn't make a difference.
Apart from that, the phone is close to perfect, for me at least ... particularly like the way the screen blanks when you are making a call and put it close to your ear, then comes alive again when you move it away so you can see it and access it. With the TP, I was always putting calls on hold when I put the phone to my ear ... also like the way the speaker phone is activated automatically when you place the phone face down.
Now if I could only get BBConnect to work, it would be perfect
I did get it working, I couldn't get SetModelID.exe to run with the reg string, I have Memmaid that allows you to set programs to run and I put SetModelID.exe in there and I have email!
Question!
Why use BBConnect for emails? What's wrong with the way the emails are already on the HTC? What is the difference exactly?
Just curious because this sounds interesting.

My company disables sync with Exchange and I can only get work email with Blackberry service. I think it's a common problem.
Yipee mine works too . only problem is sometimes the BB connect tells me radio blocked or in use especially when i use MSN chat or go online with another application on the phone. is there any option i need to tweak ?
BB CONNECT Messenger?
Can BB Messenger be used with BB Connect?
Windows Mobile 6.5 and BlackBerry Connect
Guys, I would like to hear from someone who understands the 6.6 environment whether you think upgrading into WM 6.5 will allow me to still use the BBerry Connect. has anybody tried upgrading a Rhodium and then try the BBerry?

Also
C0RNHOLIO: maybe you should look into why this is happening so that your solution works all the time. Mine is a T-Mobile Rhodium.
Thanks to both
And what about a HTC Rhodium with WM 6.5? Try it but didn't get it.

Are you able to have multiple data streams? Or does Blackberry Connect shutdown when another data stream is present and you have to restart it? I can't seem to get multiple data streams to function on any ROM even with some of the old tricks from the 8525 and Raphael....

I have been running BB on my TP2 on 6.1, 6.5 and 6.51 roms with Sense 2.1 and 2.5. They all work, and no, I cannot have multiple data streams so when I use the browser my BB connect shows no connection. If I disconnect data, sometimes BB automatically connects but generally I have to run BB connect, disconnect and reconnect (so I added a shortcut to it on my programs).
For me, using 6.51 and 2.1 gives the least trouble. I dont know why.
BTW I keep getting reminders that there is a new BB Desktop update (5.01).
good idea on adding the shortcut. I have found that it rarely reconnects and I had to turn off the auto update for the weather or I would start missing emails. I hope someone gets a fix for this soon as this is the perfect email phone...

I have two streams (BB & Contract Internet) running at the same time.
I am on UK Vodafone contract so that probably makes a difference

Having concurrent connections two 2 APNs simulatiously only works for GPRS (as far as I have observed on all my past and current devices).
So if you want to have BBC and Internet at the same time you need to switch to GPRS only and disable auto band switching for 3G. If anyone knows a way to get concurrent connections working on 3G, please post how.
EDIT: The infos in the follwing post should do the job:

Tethering on ATT

Hoping I am in the correct forum and someone can help me out. I purchased a HTC Pure and on ATT. I had a Raphael before and was able to tether fine to my laptop. I can't on my pure and ATT says I now need a Tethering Plan, and that has been the way for 2 years now.
Does anyone know a work around for tethering? Extra software? Tips? Please let me know.
The only problem that I had so far was trying to use Internet Sharing to connect to my laptop. But after doing some research found the solution on the ATT forums. With a registry editor go to [HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings] and delete “ForceCellConnection”. Now when the cell ask what do U want to do with the connection, either Active Sync, Mass Data or Use as Modem there will be a drop down tab to chose how to connect, via Media Net, ATT GSR or ISP. Personally I use Media Net.
must do a soft reset (turn the phone off) after

The HTC pure doesnt have that registry key nor the \internetsharing\setting folder
UH, yeah it does.
Open your Reg Edit program and follow the above instructions. What are you using for Reg Editing?
Check your START screen for Internet Sharing icon. Follow the above instructions.
By the way, you do know that AT$T will smoke you like a cheap cigar if they catch you tethering without a tethering plan.
,
Tethering on a Pure as I write! It works fine, just change the reg key. Make sure you hit internet sharing, then connect on the phone after you plug it into the usb.
Just take out the proxy server.
I tether all the time, always have and never tweaked my registry.

Ok, try this first;
In connection Settings, go to advanced\select networks and set both to MediaNet.
Now go back and see if your proxy can be removed.
Make sure you check "This network connects to internet"

I just did the reg edit and it worked great for me! Super quick and easy. When I connect my Pure to my computer with USB it just asks if I want to use as modem or sync with outlook (I use TF3D so these are the only options I got). Thanks for this, I've been wanting to do this for awhile but never got around to asking
p.s. I tethered on ATT with my Samsung Epix all the time, without the tethering plan, and never got caught/got in trouble for it. knock on wood. The way I see it, I pay a crap ton of $$ for internet on 'premium' device, who are they to tell me how to use it.
To be able to edit Media Net connections you need to do registry edit or install cab. REG EDIT is as follows:
To Unlock Media Net connection settings go to
[HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations\MEdia Net\, change ReadOnly from 1 to 0.
This should do the trick.

Microsoft Push Keeps My Data connection on All the Time. How do I change this?

I want it to activate the data connection only when there is new mail on the exchange server, and then disconnect after the message is retrieved. Can this even be done given that the only way the mobile know that there is an email waiting on the server is being "poked" by the server through an IP connection.
Note that I am NOT asking for the activesync setting that synch's with the xchange server every 5/10/15/20/n minutes. I know about that and dont want to use that (that would be a pull, Im using push".
Anyone?

No, "NoData" shuts the connection off when not in use, otherwise you could just turn off your data connection.

Because it says:

So, I really think it close the connection for everything you select (Px Internet, Px Live, Px MMS, PX Push).

Havnt tried it yet because I dont think it is what I am looking for.
How do I "Undo" this CAB if I dont like it?
Sorry All,
THIS was the program I was thinking of, I had the 2 mixed up.
No Data is only good for timed syncs.
