Hi all !

look next post for solution

I've been trying to get this thing to work for ages (on both WM5 and WM6) but have been totally unsuccessfull. So far I cannot get the VPN to be dialed over WiFi (!!!).

The idea is to log on a public WiFi hotspot (behind nat) and to be able to "dial" a VPN connection back to my office via PPTP (as it works reliably behind nat) and use that connection for ActiveSync and other needs.

I tried following this howto: http://kb.iu.edu/data/atcn.html

The idea being here is to use "Work Connection" which allows VPN for everything and direct all connections to "work" with an "exception" rule (*.*/*).

Here's a brief summary of the things I did:

1. Create a "dummy" internet connection (My ISP) and select it as the "internet connection" in "connections"

2. Create the "real" connection (My Work) and setup the VPN server with username and password (tested and working with XP). Type PPTP, the rest of the options are default (excluding compression and header compression which are disabled).

3. The "My Work" connection is set as default for "programs that automatically connect to a private network".

4. Create a rule for "exception for intranet addresses" under the "Advanced" tab in Connection settings. Add "*" and "*.*/*" to the URLs which are supposed to use the Work connection (and VPN).

5. Under the "network adapter" settings, select "My network adapter connects to The Internet".

Result: Explorer and ActiveSync don't even try to dial the VPN connection (i.e.... the firewall logs show no activity from the PDA).

It seems that the exceptions is never used, and also that ActiveSync (which is supposed to dial the work + Vpn connection) ignores it completely.

Traceroute/pings (from vxUtil) work to the VPN server. The WiFi connection can be used to surf the internet, so that works too. The VPN server accepts connections from a notebook connected to the same wifi (and it's outlooks syncs properly to the exchange server in the office). I have the same behaviour with both WM5 and WM6 on a Tytn and a Universal...

What am I missing???

Thanks for helping.
[Networking] xdadevc:
Solved.

Oops... the solutions was rather simple and embarassing.

The problem lies in the way WM5 handles the Wireless Profiles. Once you connect a WiFi card to an AP a "profile" is saved for future use. The profile contains the WEP/WPA credentials and the type of network: being either work or internet.

This is where the solution lies: You cannot change the type of network once you save the profile. WM5 (and WM6 as long as I know) remembers the work/internet status but never shows it in any screen.

If the selected type was "WORK" then the VPN is never dialed (because we're already in the WORK network). To get the VPN to be dialed you must select the "internet" network type.

What beats me is:

1. Why you cannot change the type of network (instead of having to delete and recreate the profile.

2. The "network card type" setting in the "network adapters page" is not used for WiFi connections, because it's always overwritten by the WiFi profile.

We have 1 setting that never works and 1 setting that works but which is never shown and cannot be changed.

Beats me!

For those already rooted this method avoids having to download a needless app. Lux is good for non root folks though. Good share
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Plague421:
Just to be clear, what I am asking for here is advice on which part I need to replace on my phone in order to fix this.

Here is what happened:

I was trying to make a bench power supply out of an old computer power supply I had laying around. Well when I went to connect the "charge only USB Cable" to the Molex connector I accidentally swapped the wire colors, I meant to use the red (5volt) but instead connected the yellow (12volt) to the USB cable. Stupid and careless mistake I know, trust me... Nothing strange happened other than the phone gave me the "incompatible charger" error. The phone will turn on and function 100% normally so long as the battery is charged via another device. For example I take my wife's fully charged battery out of her S4 and put it in mine, the phone works fine until the battery dies; the battery I swap to her phone charges perfectly fine in her phone so it is NOT a battery issue.

The phone will not charge a battery anymore, with the original charger or the other 3 white Samsung brand chargers I have, nor my car charger. After doing some research online I discovered that it was likely to be a fried USB board, which I replaced today. So the USB board and USB connector are brand new and I am still having the same problem. I also read about restoring to factory settings which I have done and also reinstalled my custom ROM. I reinstalled AFTER the error message began occurring so it was NOT cause by a the ROM update. I read that I may be able to use a wireless charger which would solve my problem, but I don't actually own a wireless charging base and I have no plans of buying one unless it is my ONLY option to fix this.

Here is an exact description of the problem:

When I connect a USB charger of any kind to the phone while it is powered off, I get a black screen and the phone vibrates once every 4 seconds or so and the battery never appears on the screen nor does the screen light up in any way.

When I connect a USB charger or connect it to a PC while the phone is on I get "The connected charger is incompatible with this phone. To prevent damage to your phone, charging has been stopped. To continue charging, use the original charger and cable that were provided with this phone." error message and a battery icon with a red "X." If connected to a PC the PC says "unrecognized USB device."

Here is my phone info:

Verizon Galaxy S4

Model SCH-I545

Android Version: 4.4.2

Baseband: I545VRUAMDK

Hardware Version: I545.06

Rom: Hyperdrive RLS20

If there is a tread that has already covered this I apologize, I did do a search and didn't see one.

Any help or information is greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
there is no fixing this you fried the motherboard its toast done,over with gl finding another MDK motherboard those are few and far between the charge controller is part of the motherboard you need to replace the whole thing(logicboard) you are better off buying a new phone a wireless charger is worth a shot but if the charging controller is shot its not gonna do you any good the only other option would be to hotwire the battery to a external charger (you can't simply feed 5v into the battery it will melt/explode it needs to be a regulated current of 3.4 to 3.8v at about 150Mah it will take 4 hours to charge and you will need to be there to unplug it before it overcharges and explodes

bootloader can be locked but still the irritating bootloader unlocked startup flash screen remains. You can lock the bootloader but it gets the device status 3 instead of 0. which means your warranty has been voided completely.

I’ve constantly been reporting on (see the latest report HERE) the Shadow of Legend MMORPG, a very promising Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) game for Windows Mobile.

Unfortunately, there are almost no “real” MMORPG games for Windows Mobile (see the linked article for more info on them); this is why I’m really looking for any new title.

Fortunately, SmartCell, the developer of Shadow of Legend, has just announced a closed beta for the game. See THIS for more info & the application form. Note that the beta is ONLY compatible with WM5+ devices – bad news for WM2003(SE) users.

Also, the homepage of the developer has a LOT of brand new and VERY cool-looking, high-resolution (!) screenshots HERE and the forums are also working (at last!). Make sure you check them out!
