Hey all,
I updated to the newest HTC Rom, Version 3.56.651.0. Now however I can't access the internet either through the internet explorer mobile or opera mobile. I am on hold with HTC Global Support, but figure y'all would be able to help me before them
Thanks

Correction: you flashed to Sprint firmware 3.56, and I'm going to assume you're not a Sprint customer and that you let Sprint's customizations run. What carrier are you on?
No, I am on sprint. Also text messenging and regular phone calls work just fine. I checked my MDN and MSID, they are all in there too. I loaded the newest rom on the HTC update page.
Error
What actually exactly happens?
Do you get a Incorrect Login/Password...or what?
That might help to begin troubleshooting (I had a similar problem)
When I enter a URL into the address bar of internet explorer, the lower bar begins to say Connecting, to Locating, and then an error stating that Page could not be found. Opera mobile gives me a similar error and so does Live Search. Currently there is no error 67 asking for user name and password.
One thing to note, when updating the ROM I didn't allow for customizations to run.
I found the solution, allow for customizations to run. I did a hard reset and let them run (sigh bogged down with bloatware). Now internet is running just fine.
I am a noob at this, but after doing some forum reading. Apparently sometimes data connections randomly kick off after updating the Radio and if you don't allow customizations to occur, then you have to run IOTA.cab in order to reestablish connections.
I am attaching the IOTA cab courtesy of a user at PPCGeeks in case anybody has a problem too
hard reset, let the customizations run, connect and do something online.
hard reset again, this time without letting them run.
Should have internet. If you dont mind resetting at least.

Hi Guys.
So I was finally able to get a cooked ROM on my Fuze using an older XP machine that I had. But now, after trying both ROMeOS and DCS, I'm not getting any 3G signal. What i do get at times is the hsdpa signal, but i don't actually receive it; none of the data services are working (internet, weather, youtube, etc.). Could someone please tell me how to get 3G on my Fuze?
EDIT: It seems like I am getting the HSDPA signal at times but its very tempermental
anyone have a solution?

In start>settings>phone>band do you have the auto in both drop menus on??
also try start>settings>connections>advanced network> in the HSDPA try to see which option is used. try to use 'enable HSDPA Only' or even disable it completely and see what happens.
had the same issue and this seemed to fix it.
Advanced Config Tool>menu>more settings>Comm manager - Add 3g to comms manager.
Open comms manager and switch 3g off > soft reset > switch 3g on > soft reset
Good luck
thanks ill try that out when i get a chance. what rom were you using?
EDIT: nvm saw it in your sig
did you run the network config wizard after flashing the rom?
it prompts (or detects) your country and operator and configures most things for you.
if it's not part of your cooked rom, look for it as a .cab
yea i ran the config but it still doesnt connect to 3g. I'm trying the suggested solution now
still not working....
I still cant run apps like cellular video and the youtube app. Youtube just wont load the vids, and CV gives me a message that says it's only supported to 3G phones. I really hope theres a solution to this since I really love ROMeOS but I want apps like youtube and CV
haha i give up. I officially ***king hate this. I feel like I spent 300 bucks on a phone that is perfectly engineered and has crap software on it. Im so agitated i can't even think straight. I'm really close to just getting rid of this phone and i dont even know.
Well... felt good to tell someone.
I am having the same problems. I am using an ATT Fuze and I flashed ROMeOS last night and now I cant to connect to the internet or use the youtube app via HSDPa/HSUPA, 3G, or Edge. I can use these applications if I turn on Wi Fi, but if I use cellular internet I get a big red sign that says "ERROR" and then followed by "the remote server refuses to perform the request. This address is not available". It also shows an H on the top bar if anyone was wondering. Any fix for this or just try a different ROM?
Update: I tried a new ROM and same thing. Does anyone have a solution? I am sure us two aren't the only ones with this problem!
I am getting pretty desperate, can anyone help?
same problem here, my area supports hsdpa but with a speedtest i have between 24 and 36kbit

go to start>settings>Connections>Advanced network>GPRS "make sure CHAP authenticaion is selected. that is what ATT network uses. then go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connections> select manage existing connections and then go to the proxy tab. make sure your remove both check marks and you should be good to go.
Wow, thank you HackMimic that worked! I tried everything I could think of and was about to go back to stock ROM just to use 3G, but now I can continue using flashed ROMS. To the original poster of this thread try the above and it should work as I had the exact same symptoms you described and now I am cruising along on HSDPA! Once again thanks HackMimic!
no problem. i had the same issue back in the day when the connection setup app first cam out i noticed that it always seem to set the GPRS Settings to PAP instead of CHAP which is needed for MMS and the net over here in america. also noticed issues with proxy selected. glad i could help.
Yea I tried HackMimic's fix but not directly from you . I was reading on how to configure skyfire and they said to do that, and what ended up happening is all of the sudden the youtube app worked and so did everything else. Regardless, thanks for the solution. I'm a little more amazed everyday by the wealth of knowledge on this forum
I just got a Mogul today. It's really nice, but I've run into about fifteen brick walls while trying to unlock, flash, and program it so I can use it with Cricket. I used Olipro on it, then I flashed the latest radio to it, and then I flashed Ryan Mogul's ROM to it. I loaded the included Cricket PRL, and then after a lot of frustration I was able to get it to work with QPST. I changed my SPC to 000000, and I changed the carrier name thing to CRKT (should I have done that? It was SPCS before). Then I went and enabled all the GPS settings, and wrote to the phone.
So I thought, now that I have my SPC as 000000, I can get my phone programmed. But of course not; when I dial *228, I always get the "We're sorry" response. I think I missed a step or something. Maybe it was the MDN: When I dialed ##000000, both the MDN and MSID were exactly the same, but I heard that the MDN was supposed to be the phone number. You know, I'm trying to "transfer" my phone number to the new phone. I can't think of anything to do beyond this point. If I dial any other number, by the way, I get some kind of "Welcome to x roaming service" message.
Anyway, I really want to get this thing working before I head off to bed, so fast help would be appreciated. Thanks.
my MDN (phone number) is different from my MSID number. i think Cricket links your phone number to another MSID when you get a new phone, as mine has changed twice!
in QPST, when you set the SPC code to zeros, there is a button to hit to write the code to memory, or save it to flash, or something. i missed that a few times. you enter the one from the log file, then send 000000, then write it. it's not very intuitive. but if you can edit EPST with 000000 then you are fine. i haven't touched anything else in QPST on five phones i have flashed to Cricket
also, you need to point the phone to the right towers with the 1050, or 1013 PRL file, if you haven't. but if it is Cricket on the line with *228 you are good
you don't need to activate the phone, if you don't want to. if the settings in EPST are right you will be OK, as that is all the programming does
I agree with catfishk.
If you can get to ur EPST using all zero's then ur fine. When you call *228 and you do hear the cricket guy then thats good as well.
Try heading over to www.howardforums.com to download a cricket prl. I would recommend 1040 or 1050 and then try to *228 for it to program.
*228 will also program your phone with a new PRL for your market.
I don't know if I could have programmed it manually, but I called Cricket customer support yesterday at 7:15AM and they quickly changed everything for me for $15. Everything went smoothly after that, *228 worked just fine and all that. I don't know if the call and everything wasn't required, but it sure made things easier. My mogul is working now, but I have some now:
I heard that some things, such as MMS, don't work after flashing this phone to Cricket. Are there fixes for whatever is broken?
Also, when I use google maps and I try to look up my GPS location, it shows me as being somewhere only relatively close to where I am and then it says that I should be within 80 meters of that point. I was in a building today trying it out, and it said I was out on the street. Should I just use iGuidance or something?
And finally, is there something special that I need to know for tethering the device? I heard that I can make it act as a WiFI AP, but when I used WMWiFiRouter, it just said it connected to the AP in my house and it didn't show up on my computer's AP list. Is there something else I need to do?
Edit: Oh yeah, also, how much memory should I have free at a time? Currently, I only have 18mb free. I want to have at least Palringo open in the background, and it seems that TouchFlo uses 2mb. I used a program to free up 2mb, so that's really useful, but I didn't imagine so much of the RAM would be used up. I guess that's the way it is.
Also, Opera seems to have some problems. It throws an error when I try to go to a website sometimes, and last time I tried it on EVDO it wouldn't go to any websites when IE would. Anything I should do?
Thanks.
What ROM did you use? The mogul to me really does not have the memory to push T2D or M2D properly with other programs. I would find a clean cricket ROM without the m2d.
Also, to get MMS working you need a program called Arcsoft and manually program the settings for it to work.
As for everything else you just need to research a bit.
I used Ryan Mogul's ROM. Can't I just disable T2D and M2D? I know I disabled T2D, but I dunno where to find M2D to disable it.
Thanks for the MMS info, but the thing is, I don't know what the other things that don't work are. I found out I was stupidly using the Java version of Opera, so I now have the latest WM version and it's amazing. Any answers with the stuff I asked about, such as GPS and tethering?

malarkey. ALL features work on the Titan with Cricket. i have the same phone you just need to configure it correctly, which is weird with Cricket, but possible...

it doesn't use true GPS, from what i have heard. it uses AGPS which triangulates from cell towers or something. i dunno but it is never spot on, just approximating

you need to install the right drivers in Windows (i presume that's your computer) and tether it via USB, i think. it pulls data, and acts as a WIFI card from your PC/Laptop, but doesn't act as an AP, i think. i use Linux so i do it differently :/

i don't know. use DCD's stuff from his site here. they are light, stable and have a lot of free memory. install the radio ROM, O/S ROM, and Cricket carrier CAB:

Opera 9.5 is BETA, and has issues. mine is stable but i use the mobile version, not the Java mini version. also, Cricket is an authentication mess when it comes to EVDO- it works great until you put it down, then it takes a few minutes to get it's s**t together. IE and Opera bail with errors timing out and you just have to keep clicking! it helps to disconnect then reconnect but meh...
I have an HTC Touch Pro that is running on boost mobile. But now the internet explorer is not working. I have data connection but when I use the internet it states: connection failed.
I already have done a soft and hard reset with no changes. Any one know how to fix?
I also did a reset on the settings and entered the MSL number and that still did not fix the issue.
Thanks for any input.
ok so from what i understand IE on the htc devices is a bit glitchy anyway so opera is the browser most people use on them
But to fix any problems people need certian info like the error #s what rom you are using and if you just unlocked it or if this just started happening
I currently use BoostMobile and will try to help if you give me more info
Mine runs on boost too.. Have you tried updating the profile?
APN Settings HTC Touch pro2
So I have the HTC Touch Pro 2 and I unlocked it from sprnt to bost(not sure if I can actually say the names) I have the phone working and it's fine on the Wi Fi. how ever I can't get the phone internet working. I was told by a local guy that I needed to get a APN settings. I've called every one in the phone book. I'v looked on every website that even refferances the word boost, and the word APN Settings, plus htc touch pro 2. I'm pulling my hair out I'm at my girly wits end and I'm about to blow my top! So....
if there is any one out there that can point me in the right direction. I've done all the unlocking and flashing and all that... I can't believe this is taking up so much of my time.
Ash.
I have an HD2 that I purchased from O2 Ireland. I switched to 3 Ireland about two months ago due to an unlimited data deal. I just changed sim cards and everything worked; phone, data, wifi.
I flashed the latest stock rom 3.14.206.1(04666)WWE that would work with my phone. It's the stock rom for the O2 HD2. Since flashing, I cannot get a data connection. The phone works fine so I know the phone isn't locked to O2, but when I go to Connection Settings, the only choice in the drop down menu is O2!
Is there any way to bypass this so that I can set the phone up automatically to three? Is there perhaps some other work around. Imagine, an unlimited data plan and I can't use it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, I gotta ask: You are in Ireland but your flag shows US?
I found some settings here, they are for a different device, but may help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-315848.html
Search for (its on these forums in several places, I've posted it myself before now, but i'm afk) connectionsetup.cab, or extract one from the unbranded 3,14 rom if you know your way around a kitchen.
It has pretty much all the networks in it. You can uninstal it after its done its thing to save 12 or so meg.
Install it, reboot, it will auto run, uninstal it.

The answer is quite simple; living in Ireland, born and raised in Brooklyn.
Thanks for the settings, now if I can just figure out how to get my Leo to take the settings.

Thanks very much for that. I found an HTC connectionsetup.cab and installed it on my phone for the 3 network Ireland, excellent!
BUT! When I open Opera I just get a white screen, nothing comes up, I can't even get a search page. I tried opening Marketplace and the error message came that it couldn't connect to the server. Any ideas please?
Edit: Problem solved thanks to you both! Since running connectionsetup (samsamuel) I was able to put in the 3 network settings (stevedebi) manually. I've even got the mms settings in and tested. Many thanks to you both! How I love this forum!
Hey guys after finally getting my insurance payout for my first Titan I can gladly report im back with another Titan from play.com. There are a few issues though.
UPDATE : Stuck on stock 7720 that came with the phone. It was a sim free unbranded phone. Zune refuses to find an update and says im upto date. Well I was on 81xx on my old unbranded UK phone so I know this is wrong. Any thoughts?
WiFi : my WiFi is absolutely terrible. Connection is fine, strength is great. But browsing pages, metrotube, an IE use just fails either completely or after 1 page. Also noticed IE will load 1 YouTube video then when I click play on the next nothing happens. Its as if the cache is full maybe? This is with DATA CONNECTION OFF. I only use data when WiFi is playing up.
HTC Youtube app : as most people know the app is removed from the marketplace. I knew this when I had my first titan. But as I had that pre installed every update I ran never removed it. Are there any cabs for it around / xaps? Will I need to be dev / interop unlocked?
Cheers Terry

I had a problem with Wifi abit like that, which went away when I flashed to a custom from but obviously YMMV
And for htc youtube app you would need to be unlocked to side load, best bet is to flash a custom rom then you can side load xaps to your hearts content. Unless you have a Microsoft developer account This will also put you on 8773.98 or similar.

Thanks for the confirmation
I have managed to get 8773.98 using the Disable internet while checking for updates technique to force the update.
One question, Is it better to do a factory reset of my phone after doing such alot of updates to my phone? Or will functionability be fine without i have heard mixed responses on this.
Haven't check the WiFi on this update yet but im still getting 'connection error' on facebook whether im on Wifi or Data, this annoyed me back when i updated my previous titan and i see it hasn't been fixed.
Now, I have been looking to 'unlock' my titan anyway. I have read if im on 8773 i can't use HSPL anymore is this true? Is there any other 'unlock' method that isn't budget blowing. Not really keen on unlocking my phone just for the HTC Youtube app. As i only want this because of Aesthetics

1. You can do a factory reset if you want, but that will lose everything (as in SMS and game saves). Its your choice.
2. The WiFi/3G problem is an OS problem, nothing we can do about it except only turn on one connection at a time.
3. You can't use HSPL because 8773 comes with a 4.6 bootloader update which has higher security. If you want an alternative youtube app, metrotube is the way to go.
I was in the same boat as you, but I chose not to tinker with it if its working. The WiFi 3G isnt affecting me at all, it uses WiFi when I'm at home, I don't turn it off but I do go out everyday and it handles connections just fine. I have gone to 8773 but it was laggy on my Titan (like avatar animation is sluggish while moving, and doing a factory reset causes the capacitive buttons unresponsive) so I'm back to 8107.
If you want to go further you can install custom ROM, but the thing that I'm afraid about if future updates (I know, WP8's out of the closet but that doesn't mean we're not getting anymore future updates). The only caveat is you have to make sure the next update works with the custom ROM, else it'll either brick or broken.
