Halfway there

Found the proxy enable fix in the registry, and checked while I was there if the GPRS/UMTS had its remain connected flag to true, but it didn't.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
something else you might want to keep in mind is that this rom has the proxy hard coded (which you already know) which could very well be interfering with your mMode settings...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Stiletto:
Proxy Disable

I can't keep the proxy disabled, it keeps enabling whenever I connect to GPRS/3G, not just when I load IE which the registry hack fixes. That proxy just needs to go away!

HTC Version

Is the HTC version of this ROM (the .1 version) better suited to someone who has AT&T mMode? IE someone who can't use the Cingular Proxy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
on the reg tweak.. have you tried the last thing it mentions...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings] The default setting (that uses the proxy) is:

"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000000 Change it to:

"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000001 Or simply delete it. It's more of the fact that if it's there and =0 it's used. if it's missing it's not used. But changing it to =1 will also make it disable. This way you can simply change the value back without re-adding the seting back in.

For some reason, the registry entry above will occasionally revert from =1 to =0, causing IE's proxy to be active again. Deleting the registry entry prevents this from happening.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jbartlett777:
While working with the WM5 emulator, I've noticed that whenever I connect via ActiveSync it enables the Proxy. The device mimics this behavior.

The proxy settings aren't being reset to the pre-docked state. That could be what's enabling your proxy.

changing the user agent and hard proxy

1. Is there a way to change the user agent with the included version of pie so that web sites will not see me as a wap browser. By my data plan, I am forced to go through wap.cingular. So, I am wondering if it is my browser, or the apn which forces sites to see me as wap device? This is only an issue with a few sites, unfortunately, this one is included. Since the rom update, my device sees this bb in a wap format, and tries to compress it into about 70-50% of the viewable area on the screen. Original rom did not do this. I accessed through wap.cingular for quite a while, and it was just like accessing through my laptop, only with a smaller screen.

2. I completely eliminated the hard proxy reg enry per the wiki a few days ago, then noticed some problems viewing a site, went to registry,and it was back again. Is it possible that there is something which reinstals it to the registry? I do not think that I activated the included enable proxy cab.

I played around with the enable proxy cab, and it will add the auto detect reg entry back in if you run it. Thus reenabling the hard proxy.

Any help appreciated.

I do not think at&t knows their biznizz...lol

Alright, changed all the settings, turned off the proxy....isp.cingular is dead or i cant get it to work. The ONLY way it will work is if I make it wap.cingular like cingular or a&t has instructions on their 8525 internet settings page. Why wap? isp worked fine using the old ROM why does it not work on the new ROM? Got tired of reading and called them and data tech said to make everything isp.cingular and after I told him about new ROM he said it doesnt matter, it will work and if not send phone in for replacement. Cmon dude, it aint my phone......unless I am not doing these things in a specific order.....isp.cingular is dead for me on .3

Anyone got a Cingular logo removal tool and an At&t logo stamper...lol...jk
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
im trying to recall this out of memory so i hope that someone can either confirm or deny this... but i read on here, maybe it was this thread or another thread as i cant find it at the moment.. but somewhere on here someone reported that in april cingular had made a provisioning change and isp.cingular wont work if you have the media net plans.. however if you want it to work you have to call cingular and have them provision isp.cingular on your account! .......... man i wish i could find this thread..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mthomas:
isp and wap provisioning

The following is based on several extensive conversations with csr's and my experieces in the past week:

data connect plans are provisioned for isp.cingular and wap.cingular. These include all the plans for laptop cards, and pda unlimited plan. They may also include some of the limited pda plans, but I did not investigate. Bottom line is that you gotta pay to play with isp.

Media max plans are not provisioned for isp.cingular, only for wap.cingular. The new plan called pda max, or pda personal unlimited, is essentialy a media max 1500 message plan and as such does not include isp.cingular.

Provisioned means that your plan has a 'switch' for that apn turned on. If your plan is refreshed by a CSR or automaticly, it will set to whatever defaults have been programmed into it. You may be able to talk a CSR into turning isp on, I was able to twice. However, you may also end up getting charged for all data that passes through unauthorized apn.

I think that resetting the rom and registering on the network resets your data plan to whatever it is 'supposed' to be. I think this is why so many have suddenly lost the isp apn. I think that during periodic system maintenance a reset also occurs. Both of the above have happened to me as far as I can tell. Although you can talk a csr into changing your settings, I think this could get them into trouble, and a hefty bill for you.

My theory is that cing/att is trying to regulate bandwidth usage. I think they want to force most low volume users to wap.cingular, where wap formatted pages will be displayed and less bandwidth is required. This will free up bandwidth in isp.cingular. The new pda max plan is essentialy what many have been using already, but for a higher fee. (this last paragraph is a bit editorial in nature)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mthomas:
pie from old rom

I think the old pie was faster to display pages and it did not include the hard proxy. Is there a way to extract it from the old cing rom and put it into the new rom? How would you do this? Direction would be appreciated.

Blackberry connect is gone

Has anyone gotten Blackberry connect to work with this rom? I had to roll back to 1.34 to get it to work again. Anyone know why they took it out of the rom? The 2.06 leaked rom had a link to blackberry connect, but this one does not. I was really looking forward to getting this as an "officially supported" feature.

Thanks,

Wes

did you take out your orange sim card?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Stiletto:
I had deleted it, but it seems it was back. Or maybe I didn't delete it as well as I thought I had. I will keep tracking it to see if it manages to come back. It hasn't since I went in and deleted it again.

Now my only problem is the dang thing isn't automatically disconnected its data connection. I have Xpress mail set to check every two hours, and once it connects to check the mail it stays online until I manually disconnect it. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

PTT built in

no i dont think there is a work round ive been looking at the request of one of my team members and havnt found it. i think this is due to the PTT being hard coded to the OS so the PTT fix conflicts with the hard coded PTT program.

if i am wrong i am sorry i am just guessing as i dont know how the programing side of the fix works.

PTT is probably the main reason if not the only reason to use this rom, my opinion of course =).

i have ptt provisioning on my account but dont like using it all that much i have been switching between WM6 and this one to see if there are any worth while advantages to this rom. i do how ever suggest upgrading to the 1.41 radio we have found it to be better in testing thus far.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] zeppelin1977:
Called cingular/at&t yesterday and said ok what's up with the isp? Female data tech says you must go through wap. I asked why and she says because all pda connect unlimited plans go through wap and laptop tethering goes through isp.cingular. So after she said that I told her to put me on the medianet max plan cause I dont tether and of course she says no sir, we cant do that you have a pda.....I knew she was gonna say this so I was ready for her. Simply stated to her that if I am going through wap and using the medianet profile that she insisted I stayed on for the cv and mms then why have pda unlimited and not the medianet max? They are like a robot, programmed to say the same thing over and over....(in a mono tone voice) sir, you have a pda. Lmao....I really dont care either way but they really need to work with the public that has high end devices and provision their data plans better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Firehawkns:
Flashed the ROM last night. Everything is working great it seems, but I though I had read some where getting CV to work, but all I get is your account can't do this choose an account blah blah. Did I miss a step in my 60 pages of reading between this ROM and the leaked one's threads?

PTT fix is working fine for me as well. Pocket Plus and Weather work fine (although I need to find another weather app as SPB's seems to be wrong more then local stations). Loaded the Sirius app but haven't tried it. I really just want CV to work and might see if I can knock my service from the PDA unlimited to Media max since I don't teather anyway. I just want unlimited internet and to be able to get my emails.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] spastico:
I know all this belongs in a whole different thread, but this topic always gets my goat.

I spent hours, well maybe not hours, but either way I argued with three different data techs, they even transferred me to someone higher up.

I agued that I have friends w/ LG's Streaming Video, (GB's of data usage) and they are on a $20 plan. I'm checking my email and browsing xda-developers and I'm paying $40. The guy said what I said makes complete sense, but this is how the data plans are set

up and because I have a PDA I have to have pdaconnect.

Oh yea, I also told them that I don't VPN or VNC. :mad: :anger: :rant: :frustration: :rolleyes:

Tasks not displayed correctly

I'm new here so bear with me. First off thank you for all the great info, tips, and tricks.

Now to the point, I was running a stock 8525 on Cingular/at&t. I like everyone else upgraded(if you want to call it that) to the new rom 5 days ago. The process went very smooth(Thanks again to all the great info here on flashing ROMs) but I have noticed that the tasks from my outlook load and list on the 8525 but they are not in order and are not repopulating(re-occuring) as they did on the old ROM.

Now just like everyone else thats new here I read the Wiki, read the cingular forums and the HTC USA forums. Only acouple of other people on the cingular forum reported the same prob. What I would like to know if anyone else here has noticed or heard of this problem, and what the fix is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Stiletto:
I bet you are having the same problem that I am having. Whenever my phone connects its data connection, it is not disconnecting after sitting idle. So if you have your phone checking your email it will connect, and stay connected. Check your connection icon at the top middle of your home screen. If you single click on it, it will show you how long it has been connected, as well as give you the option of disconnecting. I haven't got any answers on how to fix this though. I am surprised more people aren't seeing this also.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ppennza:

I can agree that it seems very unfair that "phone" or even "smartphone" owners only have to pay $20 a month while those with a "PDA" have to pay $40. But I can also tell you the rationale behind it, and it's true. Those of us with PDAs are likely to use more than twice as much data usage as those with standard phones. That's why we opted for phones with a full keyboard so we can type our emails and with Internet Explorer built right in.

That being said, it is true that you can probably switch your plan online to any of the Media Max plans without anyone in Cingular being any the wiser. But remember that you then will only be able to connect through wap.cingular and not through isp.cingular. So if you don't need to use isp.cingular, then that's certainly a possible way to get unlimited data for less money. I will say that I've known people that have suddenly lost their ability to tether, even on the PDA Connect plans, without any warning. I don't know how Cingular catches on (maybe it's related to what method you connect, i.e. dial-up network/Cingular connection manager/the newer and better internet connection sharing/etc...), but I think they can if you tether a lot. If you only do it a couple times a month for short periods, I think you're good.

Lastly, everyone should know that Cingular also just rolled out new PDA Unlimited Connect plans that include 1500 text/pic/vid/im messages for the same $39.99 that you're paying now. So basically, you're getting 1500 messages for free, but you need to stop into a retail store or call customer care to make the change. Same price, more features. That's a no brainer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rsolomon:
You must work in marketing ;) Last I checked "Unlimited" was the same as "Unlimited" - this would be like charging $6 for the "All you can eat buffet" for women and $12 for the "All you can eat buffet" for men. Same idea right, men are "likely to eat more than twice as much" as women - no proof, no accounting for individuals or history, nothing. Try that at the local Chew-N-Choke and let us know how it works out for ya.

Anybody else notice a glitch with Messaging (ie: txt messages) that when you open up the message, the window is pre-scrolled a page down so you have to scroll up to read your message?

A co-worker who hasn't upgraded yet says that while the Internet Sharing is damned easy to get working, he gets 1.5 mbs over his dialup and hasn't seen even half that on the new ROM testing with an upgrated 8525.

I'm having serious thoughts of downgrading back to the stock ROM. This version is too buggy for my tastes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] krknl:
If at all this is true( i.e. tethering a lot and being disabled by cingular ), What the HECK is the meaning of UNLIMITED data plan? I know cingular will invoke a rule explaining conditions when UNLIMITED data plan holds true -- i.e. a cloud should be up in the sky, with a particular shape in a random latitude & longitude and only then UNLIMITED data plan applies to subscribed customers.

This is a WM problem.. i had this on all hermes roms and had this same problem on my wizard with all roms, but havent had the problem with text since i started using the palm threaded messaging app, only happens on email now.

The EnableAutoDetect registry entry continuing to return may be related to the default Media Net connection. I created a new connection called "Media Net - No Proxy" and deleted EnableAutoDetect. It has not reappeared yet.

Edit:

Nevermind - EnableAutoDetect reappears after enabling WLAN. I also noticed that WLAN-On disables the proxy, and WLAN-Off enables the proxy. PIE doesn't want to load web pages after turning WLAN-Off and reconnecting via cellular 3G (Activesync connects fine). Connection manager seems more buggy than the old ROM.

Auto Disconnect

I am surprised that only one other person here seems to be seeing the Data connection staying online indefinitely unless manually disconnected. It is quite annoying, and seems like it is burried in this ROMs settings somewhere.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Firehawkns:
I loaded this ROM in hopes of better signal strength, but my bars are now showing less service then before the upgrade (from 1.34 radio to 1.40 radio). I also notice that I can have two bars of 3G service and in the middle of being online (sitting still in one place) it will drop over to E and then using it for the net becomes useless. I find mainly that I get less 3G coverage then I had before.

I do find it strange that it will show no bars sometimes, but I will still get phone calls fine, but won't get any connection on the net, even if it says 3G.

The leaked rom had rave reviews for signal quality with the same Radio, did something change going from the leaked version to this one? If so, I will probably go back to the leaked one (never loaded it), or the stock one.

Yesterday I dropped my PDA plan and went down to Media Max 200. I now get cingular video and the same speed connecting (if the above problems don't come into play) where before I couldn't get CV to work. I don't tether my phone to anything, so I don't see any reason for me to need ISP.cingular when I would rather watch videos and use my phone for entertainment. I did notice some extra Media Max and PDA plans on cingulars site under rate plans when I was changing. Looks like you need to go in and change to a new PDA plan to get CV and keep tethering abilities. It is listed at the same price as the old PDA plan.

PTT issues

So is anyone using PTT with this new rom. It seems to be working when I PTT one of my contacts but when they try to PTT me it comes in as a phone call with an added 33 at the end. In order to hear it I have to answer it like a phone call and I cannot respond. I searched to find this answer but I could not find anything. Has anyone else had this issue? I know that Cingular/ATT uses 33 to initiate the call, or at least I think that I have heard this. But my phone is not recognizing it correctly. Also when I initiate the PTT we can talk back and forth just fine. If anyone has any ideas that would be helpful. Thanks.

from my months of trialing the PTT i have found there could be several causes of this.. any dialer changes, 3rd party software etc.. when i ran the rom stock with nothing on it then i could never duplicate this problem.... but if you have installed a dialer i would start there first..
