Yesterday activesync (I sync with my gmail account) stopped working. Have removed the settings, added them again, but nothing helps. On my old X1:a, when starting the activesync application, I could at least get some kind of error message why it didn't work.
Now it just says "waiting for network". If I press "sync" the screen changes to "syncronising" and the green wheel starts to turn. This will go on for some minutes, but nothing happens.
It's also impossible to choose "Push mail" in the communication manager, that option is greyed out.
Right now I noticed that I can't get no connection to my Wifi. We have two computers in the same room, a Dell laptop and a Macbook, both connects to the wifi without problems.
When I check Connections->Wifi I can just see my own network, which is "not available" and the option "add new". Even though I know that I usually can see about 20 Wifi's, the house where I live is full of them!
I really want to like this phone, but it's not that easy.

Lately I've been having trouble with my GPRS connection on the T-Mobile MDA Vario. When I press the explorer icon so it connects, I get the usual message saying connecting to T-Mobile Internet, wait a bit, the message disappears (as if it has connected) but the page doesn't load (regardless of what page I have told it to go to). It just says loading for a while on the bottom of the page and then I get a message saying: 'The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again'. I then have to disconnect and reconnect (mostly several times) and then it'll work. Not sure why this is happening as I haven't changed any settings or installed any software, and when it does eventually connect properly it runs normally. Has anyone experienced something similar?
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.

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).
every minute or two (random) my tytn wakes up by himself..
i think that ive narrow it down to "active sync" and/or "internet connection" (gprs data over sim) that i have.
i have an exchange account in my tytn AS ,i have tried to put it on "when items arrives" and "manual" and it still doesnt works the software that i have installed are:
SPB POCKET PLUSE
SPB PHONE SUITE
i dont know what to do...
I have the same issue...started happening when I installed Black 3.0 not sure if its related though.
Thats nothing. Quite regulary my phone makes random calls. The last one was a few nights ago at 3am. My phone called my wife while we were asleep.
I think your house is haunted...[GHOST NOISES]wooooooo ooooooooo! [/GHOST NOISES]

I have a similar problem with my phone and I think there are multiple causes.
I noticed that my phone would go on by itself until it timed out and then shut off again. I had set my backlight to turn off after 2 minutes when not in use and I had also set the screen to turn off after 2 minutes when not in use. Somehow these two settings conflicted causing the phone to cycle on/off every two minutes. I corrected it by disabling the backlight shutoff and just leaving the screen shutoff timer active.
I have my phone setup to connect to my exchange server at work. When I plug into my computer at home it tries to synch with my exchange server at work and the connection will NOT go through. I assume this is because the exchange server access is looking for a portable device not the home computer and will not allow the connect, but if I synch while not connected it works fine. The problem is that everytime I plug into the PC it will fail at the exchange portion of the synch leaving an error message on the screen and the screen will NOT power off automatically as long as that message is there. Additionally, the phone will try and synch automatically every x hours as it was setup regardless of whether it is connected to the computer or standalone which will trigger the situation above again.
I have also found that if the phone sits with that error on the screen for a while, when I disconnect from the PC and try to do something with the phone it will sometimes lock up and I have to reset it to get it working again. It remains unresponsive to any screen taps or button presses.
I believe that whenever the phone is plugged into the computer setup with ActiveSync it will use that computers internet connection rather than it's own connection which is what leads to my exchange synch problem.
Well i remember this happening on my wizard and i narrowed it to weatherpanel connecting to check for updates and also if you have a password for when you turn on your phone from sleeping that also kept making the phone come out of stand by.
Hello,
I just bought a Leo. My provider is Vodafone IT.
From the very first moment, while WiFi is present in my house, the phone tried to connect to Internet via UMTS. It does so often when Wifi is temporarily unavailable.
After my old Glofiish M800, one year ago, made me spend 3€ for two consecutive connections for the duration of a half second each (1.50€ on connection then) I requested Vodafone to completely disable Internet access for my SIM card. All I did then was to connect the PDA to USB cable and SPB Weather immediately tried to update weather without even waiting for Net via ActiveSync to become available in a few seconds.
With Leo, I also deleted all network access points from configuration, set all profiles to Office Network and unchecked (my ROM is Italian) "This connection has Internet access" "Questa connessione dispone di accesso a Internet".
What occurs now is that often, but really OFTEN, even during the night, especially when I'm on the road and I'm not interested in Facebook, YouTube or weather, the phone turns on and two popup appear:
One as a notification "Called: " (before deleting AP "Called: web.omnitel.it" "Chiamata effettuata: web.omnitel.it"). The other as error message about problems with GPRS.
I also have to pay great attention to the second popup. Once, but fortunately not today, it went over the lock screen and I was unable to unlock it as the slider was below the popup. I was also unable to close the popup as the screen was locked so I had to soft-reset.
I only installed TomTom and Core Player for now.
I DON'T WANT TO PAY VODAFONE LOTS OF MONEY FOR UMTS ACCESS WITHOUT MY CONSENT, NOR SIGN UP FOR FLAT PLANS AS I HAVE WIRELESS ACCESS IN EVERY PLACE I USUALLY GO!!!
Can somebody help me tell Leo to NEVER TRY to use UMTS? I had to agree with Vodafone that I would have been unable to even send MMSs and perform videocalls until I restore UMTS, but I can't spend this huge money for the sake of weather and for greedy (it's the right word) software that just want to connect to the Internet whenever THEY want (ie. Windows Vista/7 does Windows Update only when Internet is detected, it never tries to connect until you do manually).
Thank you. Please anser me ASAP. If I don't find a solution, I will return the PDA to the seller (it's a great PDA, I wouldn't like to)
settings menu all settings connections connections advanced tab select networks change the top drop down to "my work network"
hope it helps!
Hi, I followed what you suggested and, in order to test faster, I tried to manually update weather from HTC Sense.
First of all, even if I uncheck the Internet access checbox from Office Network ("My work network" you mentioned), I always see it comes back again. I found that "ISP settings" only shows two tabs, and no Internet/proxy checkbox, so I also tested selecting this connection.
I also entered "*" as list of intranet addresses.
Every time I try to update weather, for all of these tests, I see the 3G arrows on top of notification bar flashing for a couple of seconds and the same exact alerts
Does your phone always connect to 3G?
[EDIT] I also tested http://www.htc.com/au/faqs.aspx?p_id=297&cat=264&id=118112, no result. But actually the help page says it clearly: it's normal that the phone will notice errors.
Is there any registry tweak or what?
Hello,
To solve your problem, go to the redfrogfish website, google to find the link. Download and install the Data Controller cab.This enables you to turn on/off the data connection function of the HD2
(I wanted to give you the link, but I am a new user and not allowed to do so)
Good Luck

I think you are going further into the settings than i need to.
settings - menu - all settings - connections - connections - switch to advanced tab - click 'select networks'
See my image 1 - setting the top dropdown to 'my work network' (or 'the internet', it gets called slightly diff thing depending on your setup, ,)) means it will look for whatever active connection is available and use that.
I also have a commmanager that has seperate on/off toggles for 3g and data.(see pic 2) So, if i turn off data connection, but leave 3g on, even though i have 3g (well, H) showing available on the top bar, if i go to update the weather it comes up with 'connection error'. If i start opera, it fails, etc etc.
Back into comm manager., turn back on the data toggle, everything works again.
If i turn off 3g, and leave data off, I get the same results.

It did solve my problem
Here is the link you couldn't post, as it can be useful to the community:

Thanks for the link, had a same problem which is solved now running this program.
After the 4.3 update, I keep getting the following message every time I use my wifi:
"Sign into Wi-FI network"
When I tap it, it takes me to the browser with a page that never really opens (vpn or no vpn).
The wifi works and authenticates fine, but I keep getting this message every time I connect. I've tried forget and reconnect to the wifi, but I still keep getting this message every darn time.
Moreover, because of these authentication issues or whatever the hell they are, I can't seem to get any notifications either!
