Any '3' UK Network users here?

Undoubtly there will be some
Just wanted to ask if you guys changed/did any settings to make the Hermes to make it work better with the network.
I'm also planning to upgrade to WM6 and i need to save the GPRS and MMS settings to 3 so that it will work again, currently mine are all vodaphone ones as i have a vodaphone version of the hermes.
Also we're not able to use the '3' portal that is normally on a contract handset right?
Thanks in advance
Jason

bump? anyone please?

Not on 3 anymore, but do know that the portal can't be loaded on the Hermes, irrespective of the version you use. It's something to do with 3 not the phone, their pages are just not compatible.
As for the settings, they've been posted on the site already, use the search facility. You can also try www.filesaveas.co.uk.

thanks for your advice latinoxxx.
i have seen the settings posted twice here. therefore i dont know which one to use.
please could someone paste the correct ones down. it will save me from asking again if i get it wrong
thanks in advance for the help guys. really appriciate it.

sugest you try THIS. Its the settings setup program from HTC:
[/list]
[*]Under Network Settings Wizard click the "Download Software" Button
[*]On the next page tick the box, then in the drop down menu which appears select "Network Settings Wizard-UK" then click "Download"
[*]Save the zip file, and run the .exe it has inside it (make sure your Hermes is connected to activesync).
[*]Select the three network and i think it should setup your device with the correct settings?!?
[/list]
Try that out??

thank you so much mr vanx, you dont know how much i appriciate this.
btw, someone has started a thread about "Call for Operator Settings for ALL NETWORKS "
maybe if you add this tool there, it may save a few posts and guarentee that the settings are correct since they are form HTC and given by the operators themselves.
thanks again

I am not 100 percent postive but I don't think it is my settings. I have my htc home doing the same and also want it changed to normal time but the reason I thought it was not my cab is that I do not have the 24 hr setup on the top taskbar so I can't see any cooralation but anything is possible..also I have noticed the time sometimes is not the same....meaning htc home is off by a min....I read somewhere that the time was off by exact hours do to timezone setting issue but I hve just installed htc home and haven't played with it enouhh yet...also all the threads on htc home SUCK....they are filled with garbage flamings and worthless ques asked 8 mil times over and over so I have not gone through 19 pages of the thread yet.

LOL thamks for your reply I didnt know if it was a program in it that was changing it. All I reall like about the HTC Home Plugin is the large clock anyway so maybe we will find a fix for it I guess this is something telling me I need to get better at reading the 24 hour format LOL Thanks wpbear and again another great release

hey anyway to get all these addons in a file where I can choose what I want, I specifically do no want Tweak utitlity cause it crashes when I install it on a cooked rom of mine

Anyway to edit the cab and remove files I don't want? or once I install the cab is there a utility that can remove individual programs cause with the new schaps 3.57a it has its own tweak utility that screws up when I install this cab, for once I want to bake my own cake and eat it too and well ya knwo what eat the whole entire damn cake with the cream and cherrys, screw the bastard who said "you can bake a cake and eat it too" f-ck that! im gona stuff my face until i pass out!

Wifi Xperia Messenger + Skype (Vodafone branded)

Hello there,
I found a fix for the ICQ, Skype ... problem on the Vodafone branded X1 (testes with DE!).
This .cab fixes the problem without flashing the rom .

many thanks

Has anyone tried this? I really want to be able to use MSN Live over my wifi but am a little reticent when it comes to flashing the phone (first time nerves)!
Does this work on a UK Vodafone vandalised X1i?

Yes it does but when I installed it, it screwed with the gprs settings. It's fine tho and it works after you put the correct settings back. Best thing to do is to get a registry editor [total commander] and modify the registry so you can see/change the connection settings. Then modify the settings back to vodafone. That prob doesnt make much sense so i'll do a step by step...
1. Download and install total commander on your phone
2. In total commander navigate to \\plugins\registry\HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations\My ISP and open ReadOnly and set it to 0
3. Do the same for any others that are in there.
4. Close total commander and go to start-settings-connections-connections.
You should now see that My ISP is now listed (instead of 'this has been blocked' etc.
5. Go into manage existing connections
6. Click edit and make a note of all the details. The username/password is 'web' for both user/pw
7. Under Advanced, click select networks and check to see what they are. Make a note.
8. Now go into Messaging-sms/mms-menu-mms options-servers. Click on Contract MMS and make a note of all those settings.
9. One final thing I would do before you install that, sync your phone with your computer so all your contacts etc are saved, that way if it does screw up you not being able to connect you can just reset storage and go back to the start as if your phone was brand new.
10. Install the program on your phone
11. Now go into each of the settings we looked at above from point 4 and set them back to what they were. You'll notice that a lot of other connections have been made (VFDE Push) etc, to remove these go back into total commander and delete the reg setting for them.
If there's an easier way let me know for the future...

Many thanks Jon_010 - I'll have a go at this tonight!

All is not as simple as I first thought...
One thing i've just noticed (i've only got my X1 at the weekend), since doing this it seems that I am unable to use ie/opera over wap. I only tested over wifi as I assumed this was the problem.
Seems that it's got wifi working as it should, but it kills the use of normal wap. Messenger seems to work ok though both over wap and wifi. I'm gunna look into this a bit more.
I'd hold off doing this unless you're not bothered about losing wap. Maybe I missed a setting when I did it.

OK it appears that its still an issue with windows live that's still blocking it. Does anyone have a original cab file of windows live?

Jon - sorry to hear you had some problems with this. I flashed the ROM in the end with the SE image and the phone is working now.
I don't know where you could get hold of the CAB, you could hard reset as a last resort?

Have you managed to get everything working now? I.e have you got wap working fully along with wifi? The last thing I need to resolve is windows live. I've found a cab but still doesnt appear to be working...

I wouldnt suggest using this as a fix if you're a Vodafone UK customer.
(i had to hard reset and restore from dashwire to un-do it!)
thanks for the help anyway though.

How to Tether/Internet SHare with ATT Tilt 2

I tried to use the Internet Sharing option when connecting to a laptop - just like I did with the original ATT Tilt - but I always get Invalid APN. Does everybody get the same and is there a work-around?

tethering
check to see (upon running Internet Sharing)
under Network Connection
my TP2 shows 2 options
MEdia Net
and one for GPRS A&T
the only one that works for me it MEdia Net
please post if you have those options and if it worked.

internet sharing
OK
Thanks for posting the issue with internet sharing
Here's the fix
Use reg edit and change these values:
HKCU\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNETSHARING\LASTCELLCALL CHANGE TO "MEdia Net"
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\ForceCellConnection change to "MEdia Net"
AT&T blocked option to change connection type so you have to change that in reg.
Now just softreset and enjoy.
PS
I'm using it right now

Hey I don't have my Tilt 2 yet so I can't test this but I cabbed up your changes. Maybe one of you with Tilt2 MEdia Net could test this sucker out? First make sure you are currently unable to tether and then install and soft reset to see if it fixed it. Report back!
edit: cab removed, report of no success

This is the correct reg
"HKCU\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNETSHARING\LASTCELLCONNECTION CHANGE TO "MEdia Net""
I updated it manually and it doesnt stick. Its forcing me to the other APN still....

Thanks for reporting back, removed the cab from my post. So yours is the correct key but it doesn't stick.... hmm. Sounds like flashing a custom rom might be the only way out unless you put a registry tweaking thing in startup.

I just tried this using AT&T Tilt 2 on the stock ROM and it worked.
I could not find any such key called "HKCU\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNETSHARING" so I ignored that part.
I changed HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\ForceCellConnection to "MEdia Net".
I reset the phone.
I tried to share through a USB connection, but it kept appearing on my computer as a hard drive despite selecting the option for Internet Sharing.
So instead I tried sharing through Bluetooth PAN. It was actually easier than it used to be on WM6.1. I selected Connect from the Internet Sharing program and it brought up a list of Bluetooth pairings. I selected my laptop (win7), which I had previously paired for ActiveSync purposes. The phone said "connecting to computer" and then "connecting to internet" and then it was done.
I accessed websites on my computer and refreshed to make sure it wasn't cached. I checked that my computer's wifi was disabled and that the phone's wifi was not on. Looks like it works.

HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\ForceCellConnection to "MEdia Net"
and
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Status\Enabled to "1"

I changed HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\ForceCellConnection to "MEdia Net" and it worked. Thanks for the help.

Question...on the stock ROM, does the built-in connection use the wap.cingular connection or the isp.cingular?
I heard it was wrong to use isp.cingular. Should we create a new profile specifically for wap.cingular?

This method worked for me. Thankfully I have a tetherable TP2 now ^^...only thing is the connection sucks until AT&T fixes their network. Takes forever to load a simple page....

Why can i not find the HKLM folder in total commander.... cause id love to be able to tether my phone....

That works great for me, but after soft reset "HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Status\Enabled" reverts back to Value of "0". To use Internet Sharing, I have to edit this value after every soft reset. Any possible fixes for this? Thanks in advance!

Doesn't sound like your ready to play with registry (no offense). Always know you can cripple Windows if your not careful. You have to open the "\\Plugins" folder at the top of the root dir of the phone and then select registry. Follow the given instruction from there. Again though, be careful.

Oh im sure im not.... I dont think ive messed with a registry since my Moto v620 years ago. My Tre0 750, just had every cab i ever needed already made.
If its not sticking though... i guess theres really know point till someone figures this thing out. I hate how AT&T blocks certain features....

======== (UPDATED 11-30-2009) ========
NOTE! -- THIS IS ONLY FOR AT&T CUSTOMERS
I have made a cab version of my fix so that mortscript isn't required. Simply install and restart your phone and your ready to go! (much easier instructions eh?)
That's it!

Works great on my end.... other than AT&T's terrible internet service.
I appreciate the time you took to write the scripts. Havnt figured if they stick though, but now that its easily changed back no worries.
Thanks man

How to set up 3g??

I've tried 3 different builds and I can't seem to get the 3g working at all. I'm using a t-mobile 1024 mb version if it matters. Everything seems to be running perfectly except the data. When I search for networks T-Mobile comes up and I select it but no data connection. I can make calls etc. Do I have to set this up manually? If so how?
PS: I've used the search button like a million times.
Edit: I am using Coredroid and the windows mobile version from the same creator.

Make sure you are using the correct APN for your service provider.
