frycow, hazchem, djswivel:

Could one of you help out Paltkugen and I? Both of us can't get it working. If you could let us know the specific settings, including the proxy settings, I would really appreciate it. Its so frustrating to know it works for some people, but not being able to get it going.

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] djswivel:
I did EXACTLY what fry posted....follow this carefully

Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections Icon

Select Advanced Tab -> Select Networks

Change the first dropdown to My Work Network

Change the second dropdown to T-Mobile GPRS

Click Edit on the My Work Network dropdown -> Proxy Settings Tab

Check the first box (This network connects to the internet), but NOT the second (This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet)

Now do the same for the T-Mobile GRPS settins in the edit menu, only check both boxes this time. Then type in 216.155.165.50 as the proxy server. From there you should be good.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] yowzator:
That is exactly what I did too. Just tried it again and I can't use GPRS to surf. I have Wifi turned off. GPRS is not connected. I open PIE and go to some URL (google.com). GPRS starts connecting and successfully connects to T-Mobile GPRS.

Then, for about 30-60 seconds, the status bar says "Locating". Then an alert pops up that says "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later."

Next, I turn on WiFi. It conects to my local WiFi network. It is still connected to T-Mobile GPRS too. I go back to PIE. As soon as I try to goto a URL, the GPRS connection drops, and again it says "Locating..." for a while. Then the same alert pops up again.

So now that GPRS isn't connected and just WiFi, I try going to the URL again. Same results.

Next I try turning off WiFi. Now there are no connections. I restart WiFi and there is just a WiFi connection. Same results in PIE.

I thought maybe the proxy is the problem, so I turned off the proxy in GPRS. When I do this, the checkbox "This network connects to the internet" won't stay checked. Even if I check it and click ok, when I go back it is unchecked. And when I did this, I couldn't even connect with GPRS. And with WiFi on, it would connect to Wifi, but going to a page would immediately pop up an alert that says "Cannot Connect with current connection settings. To change you connection settings, tap Settings."

I added the proxy back in and then tried changing the GPRS access point name from wap.voicestream.com to internet2.voicestream.com and internet3.voicestream.com. internet2 wouldn't even make a connection, but internet3 did. however, i still couldn't locate pages in PIE. So I changed it back to wap. I think my unlimited GPRS plan is configured the VPN way, so I remember having to use internet2 or internet3 in the past.

Could the proxy server not be working right for me? Is it possible that I cannot locate the proxy because I'm configured in a non-standard way (with a different access point - internet3) than most?

I think I'll call tmo and see if I can get changed to the regular AP (wap). I'm not using VPN stuff right now anyway. If anyone has other ideas, please let me know.

Thanks again!

I think i have a work around. but involes changing it back and forth when switching btwn wifi and gprs..

created two connections.

one with proxy and one without.

im only able to surf gprs with proxy.

when connecting via GPRS set both networks to connect to PROXY.

when using WiFi, set both networks to connect using NOPROXY.

that should work. at least it worked for me. tried only 2 pages and it loaded for both. GPRS used myvoicestream and wifi google.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SorcererXIII:
Earlier today I had been trying to get VM Net Browser or Resco File Explorer to work, and they *were* working, albeit very sporadically. Sometimes I could see whole windows network complete with shared files and directories, other times I could browse to my computer and it wouldn't show anything as being shared. Looking for a solution, i found this thread.

I followed the recommendations of the previous posts and got exactly the same results as yowzator, including the weird thing with the "This network connects to the internet" checkbox unchecking. My GPRS access point is also named wap.voicestream.com - not sure if that matters.

However, I know that I was having at least partial wi-fi success before trying this fix or I wouldn't be able to have seen my home network. So I gave up on this fix and put everything back to the default - GPRS for programs that automatically connect to the internet, no proxy, and My Work Network for programs that automatically connect toa private network, with "This network connects to the internet" unchecked because it's impossible to check it and expect it to stay checked.

I tried surfing around to a few pages with wifi only (connections shows me connected to my network, I turned off the phone icon in the comm settings, and tapping on the connectivity icon on the taskbar didn't have GPRS listed) and amazingly, some of them worked - though the "locating" process seemed to take a while, they sometimes seemed to load faster than with GPRS (especially if I let my MDA go to sleep and then turn it back on again).

And then they don't work again, without me doing anything. So I don't think the fix we've been trying is a true fix to the problem - if it was then then pages would *never* load with the proxy disabled. Right?

I've been wondering if the "modem" tab under My Work Network is supposed to be blank . . . even if it's using wifi it seems like a poor UI design to not have a checkbox or something saying "this connection is for wifi and not dialup".

I am using the 2.17 ROM update. My wireless router is a D-link DI-624 extreme g. I'm using WEP encryption.

I am crying . . . tears . . . of confusion. :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SorcererXIII:
SOLUTION!?

This works for me (suggested in another thread):

1. Add the following to the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS:

DWORD dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8

(Note that there is already a key in the registry called "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS: DWORD dot11SupportedRateMask=1" - you should leave this alone)

2. Do a soft reset.

3. Go to your wi-fi settings -> Power Mode tab -> Best Performance (without this step it didn't work for me)

4. Turn on wi-fi and connect to anything in internet explorer. It should seem blazing fast compared to GPRS.

Note that this assumes you haven't done any of the fixes in this thread. That is to say, leave it with GPRS for programs that automatically connect to the internet (with no proxy), and My Work Network for programs that automatically connect to a private network, with "This network connects to the internet" unchecked because it's impossible to check it and expect it to stay checked.

So far (for a few minutes anyway) this is working for me! Even Resco File Explorer seems to mostly work - I can map my PC's shared folders and see my stuff reliably, as far as I can tell. VM Net Browser is still wonky though.

The thread this solution comes from is http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=38898&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc

Hi,

tried that solution

(I have a thread below)

still falls over on "locate".

I have no home network so I have never got anything working - connects fine on a public hotspot, but as I say, fails on locate.

I've had enough - may either phone T-mobile pay CS - something I really don't want to do out of principle - or just send teh phone back.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] skot:
any new info on this? can seem to get it to work.

i have configures it many ways as suggested above. only time i was able to browse on wifi was with no proxie was set up. i connect through another network, (the mda automatically hooks you up to all avalible networks) but that only lasted a few minutes.

is there even a chance i could someone at tmobile even help me??? anyone here call them and get got service/help with getting it to work?

thanks

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dogcowdaddy:
Had the same problems. I have tried the fixes listed here, but achieved inconsistent results. I have been to level 3 twice with T-Mobile and the best they could come up with was to shut off the phone when connected to WiFi (which worked for me but was less than satisfactory). I then installed WiFi Companion from www.socketcom.com , which was recommended on another board. It solved my problems. Found my home network, connected and uses wifi for surfing as long as it is turned on. Have no idea what it does to the configuration, but it works. The program also provides WiFi network tools that should prove handy on the road.

Cheers

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rxr:
First off, pls note that the out of the box Tmobile mda has been locked to only use 802.11 b (mailnly due to the fact that is the standard at which Tmobile hotspots are set on). Either use the registry hack mentioned above to unlock it and make it compatible to the 802.11 G standard, or get Registry Wizard and enable that tweak.

Then try doing this.

Go to Wireless Lan settings, and then the "PowerMode" Tab, then set it to <Best performance>.

it'll eat up more battery but it did the trick for me.

MDA and Wireless

I've spent about 2 hours with T-mobile tech support trying to get wireless to work...

Finally, if I go to the comm mgr, and turn Off the phone portion... wait a few seconds and then enable wi-fi... it works...

Otherwise, if I don't do that - it finds the network, but never successfully obtains an IP address...

Any thoughts on how to work around that??

frycow saved my wifi

Hey Frycow.. my wifi has never worked.. Now it works perfectly. Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] yowzator:
This is so frustrating... Half of you seem to have no problem getting this working right away. The rest of us can't get it to work at all. Here's the latest from me.

Last night I upgraded to xelencin's TMobile USA 2.17 ROM. Upgrade went flawlessly. Installed all my programs. Added the Wifi-G tweak mentioned in this thread. Did a soft reset. Changed Power Save Mode to Best Performance. No go. Retried every suggestion in this thread. I can't get any of them working reliably. On a couple occations, it started to work as desired, but the next time I switched between WiFi and GPRS, it stopped working again.

I'm going to have to settle for manually changing the Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks to and from GPRS and Work when I want to use GPRS and WiFi. Not very convenient. If everyone was doing this, I guess I'd be fine with it. It isn't really that hard to do. But half of you have this working, so I'd really like to see it working for me too.

Sorry for the rant. Just had to vent some... If anyone has any further suggestions, or you know of another related thread, please post to this thread.

I tried installing Socket's WI-FI Companion. Since I didn't see much I liked or needed, I went to un-install it.

Naturally it refused to completely un-install. I soft-booted, and tried again to no avail.

Then I went to contact Socket Tech Support. They won't give you support unless your register the product. But since it was a trial download, how can I register it? I'm not going to BUY a product just to get the support to un-install it!

I called out to them and had to leave a message. I'm waiting for a call-back.

I truly HATE s/w that when it doesn't work, or doesn't do what you want, won't uninstall properly!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Yanktar03:
The call-back naturally never came.

Now I will NEVER buy a Socket product. Anybody out there have any suggestions?

Just got my MDA a few days ago. I've been trying to get connected to WiFi (wireless home network connection) and am losing hair. I tried to do what is quoted above because it seemed to work for others.

I can get the "My Work Network" part set and check the first box but leave out proxy settings. However, I have no, T-Mobile GRPS in the bottom drop down box. I have T-Mobile Data and T-Mobile MMS and My ISP. I have tried to put the proxy settings in these and still cannot connect. Prior to this, I had successfully seen Google once and ESPN once but could not surf any further after a minute.

I have a Lynksis 802.11b wireless router in my home. I do not (yet) have the $30 internet package as I was hoping that Wifi would be enough for a while. My laptop connects wirelessly fine in the same room. Something strange however, sometimes when trying to connect the MDA, my laptop and desktop drop the signal and I have to reboot the router and modem to get them back online.

I've been reading countless sites and forums. Most of the time I can figure these things out on my own but am getting really frustrated at this point.

I read somewhere to download a program called Hitchiker (0.4 Beta) as it helped them. It has been able to obtain an IP address and I always have a strong signal to my router but still can't surf. This program has also froze my pda a few times so I don't think it was a good idea to try.

I sure hope someone can help. This seemed like the most knowledgable forum on the MDA that I could find. I was so excited to get this device and am now starting to wish I didn't. :confused: :mad:

Thanks in advance.

I am having trouble browsing webpages. I can connect to my router fine, and connect to another pc on the network (using terminal client and browsing shared folders). I cant browse websites though. I always get a DNS error. This is with phone off or on, regardless if I am using the method on the first page of this thread (My Work Network). Its quite frustrating.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ipaq dude:
here is something else you guys can do

go to you connections seting and make a new connecation tab say wifi

the point both you connection types to wifi(work and internet)

turn your wifi on and you are on your way

then if you wana use gprs again just go under connections and change that your tmobile gprs both tabs.

i know you have to keep on changing the setings but it works great for me.

no firwall problem with routers or anything

i hope this will help someone :D

My Weird MDA! and $tup!d T-Mobile!!! :mad:

The time I got my MDA from an internet store, I was on my way to Manila, Philippines... got roaming feature enable and I'm good to go...tried connecting to GPRS at Los Angeles Int'l Airport and it went well... at Taiwan Int'l Airport tried connecting to a local wi-fi and great I was exchanging messages with my friends using the BUILT-IN INSTANT MESSAGING (AIM, ICQ, Yahoo)...but to my surprise :eek: when my first bill arrived I was charged for the Yahoo Messages I sent :confused: it turned out that the built-in messenger uses t-mobile network/tower site etc. to send my instant messages (learned from google searching) many people complained accordingly but some to no avail just like me end up paying $0.35/msg :mad: total of $24 bucks for 60+ msgs ...I'm not in the mood for argument when I called T-Mobiles Customer NO-Support!!! I just told them that they should have put that in their sales/marketing information so as people wouldn't be confused...

Todate i'm using Yahoo/MSN Messenger on the WEB, using either my home router, friend's router (when im in their place) or wi-fi / gprs to chat/send instant messaging... NEVER USE THE BUILT-IN MESSAGING!!!

Funny thing each time I connect to a router it simply asked me for the passkey and upon input I can surf smoothly... if I'm out It detects connections that are both secured and unsecured ofcourse I'd connect with the later :p

Learn from my lessons guys dont be a victim like me.

TL/DR: Saying "Navigate home" in Google now used to send me to my correct address now it sends me to "The Penthouse London, 1 Leicester Square, London."

Just this month I started getting this incorrect location, searched the web and apparently another few Aussies get the same thing, same address only he was getting it on his Nexus 5 kitkat. I can't find a solution to this problem and I'm starting to think it's Google's fault and I can't do anything about it. Any ideas?

Fixed

I think I've got it. I had a reminder set to that location when I voiced "remind me to _____ when I get home" Which somehow at the time was bugged and sent it to London.

Swipe to Google now and click on reminder the finger with the string around it and edit the location to your home address. Not sure if everyone will get this but Google Now force closes and you will get the "Google now has stopped responding" notification. But now your address will be reverted back to normal. Hope this helps someone, I don't have an account to that other website that people seem to have a problem with.

My problem is i cant seem to find a nice stable rom that isn't just stock for my one max, either they are missing essential features(like wifi, mobile signal) or they are only supported for htc one, one x etc.

So does anybody know of a good custom rom which supports htc one max.

Also i have been wondering if htc one roms will work on my max or if can't be known before trying?

There will for now only be "stock"-ROMs, as HTC still hasn't released the source code for the phone. The ROMs that are available work pretty well though, I'm using ViperMax and it works perfectly fine, no bugs so far.

HTC One ROMs won't work one the One Max. Different kernel.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigystyle84:
Hi All,

I just picked up a i317m Note II - It's locked to Rogers and I need to use it with Telus (I'm in Canada). The phone is stock 4.3 Rom.

I've unlocked a few S3's/Note II's in the past using the "free method" through the service menu's, but remember at the time the phone needed to be on 4.1.1 to work. (Even the updated 4.1.2 didn't have the proper menu items)

Can I simply revert back to 4.1.1 from 4.3 without issue using Odin and the Rogers 4.1.1 Firmware from SamMobile? Will it cause any issues?

I'm new to this whole Knox thing, need to do some reading this weekend about what's changed in the past 6 months here, but for now, I need to get the phone unlocked so I can at least use it.

Any help/comments ASAP would be great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
If your simply trying to unlock the device from the hidden menu. Then your best bet would be too flash the older modem. That was released with the 4.1.1 firmware. Then that menu will show up for you to do the unlock...

Or another option is to go to http://www.sammobile.com/

to get your stock firmware...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigystyle84:
Thanks - I was just wanting to confirm there were no issues downgrading this method from 4.3 to 4.1.1 - I've done it before but not since official 4.3 had hit.

Turns out this thread was not needed. I just bought the used Note II and was told it was locked to Rogers. I just put my Telus sim in it and all is working fine, it's already been unlocked. Strange, but good enough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
You can't downgrade after having the official 4.3 firmware/bootloader.

And that person you got it from must have unlocked it when it was on 4.1.1:confused:
