For the past month or so, resolving pages in IE has been painfully slow. When I type in a website, it takes at least 30 seconds for the page to begin to download. After the page is resolved, I get the normal edge rates ~90kps, but initially getting the page to come up is the problem. I don't have this issue over wifi. I'm using the 2.24.10.1 WWE rom on an 8125 and wap.cingular. In the gprs settings I have "use server settings" for the dns. Any suggestions appreciated...
I'm using the DNS servers found on www.openDNS.com and PIE loads much faster.. doesn't say "locating..." on the bottom for more than .5 of a second.

Awesome, that made things a lot faster! I wonder what kind of crappy dns servers cingular is running that can get bogged down by requests from meager cell phones! (486s running windows NT 3.5??)
Thanks!!!
amazing
this should be stickied or something...
best thing ive done to my phone so far !!!
internet is way faster now.... its really amazing...
this is a must for everyone.
I have tmobile US and I used the OpenDNS servers and its amazingly faster.
The network used to be that fast with default setting back in the good ole days (aka a few months ago), but something was changed and now networks' DNS resolution is f***ed. :roll:
But, thankfully we can assign custom DNS servers and be happy!
I too use the OpenDNS addresses and they work great! I've been using them a while now with zero problems!
is it possible to make a cab to install different dns settings??

I posted a similar problem. Actually I started the post before a meeting and finished and posted it when I got back and then saw this one. Tried it and it seems to have greatly improved things. I put the link to this post in mine so hopefully more people will find it...
how do i change dns servers?
http://www.opendns.com/start/windows_mobile5.php
I had the same issues as well. Couldn't figure it out. Called up Cingular and *****ed. It was pretty fruitless.
Anyway, traditionally, the phones are configured to use wap.cingular as the access point. That's where I had all my problems.
I changed over to isp.cingular, and it worked like a charm. It's still a little slow, but I can live with a second or so to resolve versus the minute plus using wap.cingular.

Ha thanks. For some reason it did a double post with a really long delay. I had allready gone to the site and set up the new dns server by the time it reposted. Thansk anyway though. It worked like a charm.

uhhh... using isp.cingular, you better hope you have a PDA data plan and not just a MEdia Net plan. Otherwise you're going to get raped on charges!
Yep.. I'm on the PDA plan. Sorry, should have mentioned that too..
But, now that it's known it's DNS, I may go back to wap once I'm done flashing the ROM on this thing..
I'm using OpenDNS' dns and it's still not that much better.
G'day y'all.
I'm having a problem with my WiFi, trying to connect to my schools wireless. I manage to connect (even though it is hidden), but I don't know where to put the proxy settings.
Early thanks for answers

In another thread in the Dev section someone mentioned that after you apply the leaked 2.2 update that you would be able to use the 3G Mobile Hotspot just like Wireless Tether, without charges from VZW. Is there any truth to this?
As I understand it, you can turn the feature on, but once a client connects, it will bring them to a VZW page telling them that you need to have said feature enabled on your account.

Ah well that sucks, really would be nice if it were to work. It seems like a nice app.
dial ##778, go into edit mode, the password is 000000, once in go to M.IP Default Profile and edit DUN NAI from [email protected] to [email protected]. Then hit menu and press commit modifications. It should then reboot or w.e and your done. Free 3g hotspot app
At least thats how other people have said to do it

If you have previously used this method from stock 2.1 it also carries over from any type of wipe or installing the new radio.
I currently have the tethering plan through VZW from when I had my storm. I decided to take 3G Hotspot for a quick spin.
-WPA2
-AP Mode
-15 Devices max
Are all available.
Nothing special if you're rooted and use wifitether.
I am on the new FroYo leak and I just tried this with the included "3G Mobile Hotspot" app and it didnt work. I double checked my DUN NAI, and it is set to [email protected]. I could see and connect to my hotspot, but no web pages would load. Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same problem. I changed the dun NAI as directed. Wireless Tether was broken for me but I'll try copying the .bin file over again.
Sweet!
Just hope we don't get a huge bill at the end of the month.

My laptop could not connect to the conn with wpa2 enabled. But with wpa and wep encryption it works great.
Just remember that wep is crap.. i can crack wep in 5 minutes easily.

Plus its fun putting the most revolting ssid name that you can think of.

does this effect any other part of your phone? or does only wifi tether use this?
I did the mod, cranked up 3g hotspot, and connected my Ipod Touch. Worked great, and strangely enough was quite fast. Sweet! (Froyo 2.2)

When I tried this last night I could see and connect to the hot spot, but it wouldn't give me an IP address.
From the instructions above it would appear that I could just remove "DUN" from the profile, commit the changes and then be up and running on VZWs network. Am I doing this correctly?
thanks,
Works for me. Thanks for all the good stuff guys!
I'd taken care of this awhile back, and noticed it was back after flashing Syndicate. Not sure what resets it, but I'm guessing this is put back when the device is wiped and factory reset.
Anyway, don't forget to check this, and disable it again if it gets put back during various flashing activities. If you completely forget this, it will come back and bite you and you'll have a devil of a time figuring out why some app won't work over the internet (answer: Because Sprint's proxy server is blocking it).
So apparently sprint thinks this is the iphone and we want our traffic filtered and/or proxied. This causes skyfire not to work with its flash video feature (and possibly other video/streaming apps, like a radio app I tried). But you can fix it and here's how (credit goes to sdx thread for the moment, will try and post link when back at pc):
##3282#
Multimedia
Input your msl (find it using adb command getprop, look for msl in readout)
Change rtsp proxy to 0.0.0.0 and rtsp proxy port to 0
Enjoy your unfiltered traffic!

Possibly some Sprint bloatware requires data go through their proxy, but I haven't heard of it.

HTTPD has to do with the phone acting as a webserver of sorts - not sure where it would be beneficial.

certain types of streaming media are blocked. SkyFire seems to only work about 1/3 of the time.

Just to clarify for anyone:
Must be rooted.
Get the msl reader to get PW and use it.
Enter ##3282# into phone as if you were dialing someones number.
Choose "edit" mode.
Enter in MSL code you got from the MSL reader for the password.
Click "advanced"
Change "RTSP Proxy Port" to 0.
Change "RTSP Proxy Address" to 0.0.0.0
Then just back out and you're done.
I mainly wrote this out so people wouldn't get confused about whether or not to change the HTTP stuff and to get the exact names of the RTSP stuff correct.
Why do I need to do this all my internet apps work perfect on bonsai froyo dk28...
Also I don't use any sprint apps, they=crapware and eastern of space.

This hack has been around forever but I figured I would mention it because surprisingly few people know about it:
DO THIS:
Settings > Wireless > Wifi Settings > Menu (Button) > Advanced > Use Static IP (check this) > DNS1 Settings (set to 208.67.222.222) > DNS2 Settings (set to 208.67.220.220) > Reboot
Not all roms will allow you to access this, but if yours does, give it a try.
WHAT IT DOES:
When you enter a name like Amazon in your browser, before going to Amazon it needs to translate "Amazon" into an IP address. This can be SLOOOOW. By setting your DNS servers, you give it one single IP address to go to for all IP address translations - i.e., it's faster.
This is an old PC hack and I wasn't sure it would work on a phone but we tried it out over at another forum and everyone was getting MUCH faster page opens in their browsers. Many said their Market was working faster too.
Give it a shot and see what you think. Good luck
** Read more about it here: https://store.opendns.com/setup/
Oh yeah, it's free so no worries.
Wont you run into problems if you move off your home network. Some networks wont give you the static ip you want.

Dunno. Seemed to have sped up my 3G as well. If it doesn't work you can just uncheck the static ip thing when away from home.

Yea that's what I figured. Also I use google dns. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 its easier to remember.

eh most of the time you wont have to jump more than 1 or 2 DNS servers to sort your IP, than that IP is sent down those on the way back to you for future reference(until a hold down timer expires most likely)
gosh, hope that makes sense =P

Nevertheless, this is faster.
OP, your link leads to a website that appears to require a sign-up to continue, is there a link that doesn't?
Also, while I can see how this may help with a Wi-Fi signal, how is it you've experienced faster 3G? Just curious, thanks.
First, this isnt a hack
Second, you're changing dns for your wifi, not 3g.
Thanks for the reminder though, but does any know if you can change your 3g dns?

##data(3282)# / edit mode / there are plenty of settings to mess with here (and mess things up too, but here is where you can find what you are looking for)
btw... you will need your msl to enter edit mode
I wouldn't go around fooling with the sprint default dns it could cause problems.
Isn't that the opendns ip? Who cares... this is not a hack... at all. I use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 anyway.

You don't have to sign up, just use the DNS addresses given:
DNS1: 208.67.222.222
DNS2: 208.67.220.220
That's all you need.
LOL at people thinking hard setting dns servers = hacking.
Setting up DNS does not speed up browsing. It might speed up the initial resolving of the website if the current dhcp dns server is slow.
Thanks for the good laugh tho.
Now if somebody could post how to change WiMAX DNS servers, that would be much more interesting... for a variety of reasons...
