I'm using a 3G data connection that requires a http proxy.
So... I've defined a proper APN with proxy.
Browser is the only program that I can use with this connection (only page view, no download). All the rest application that need an internet connection simply doesn't work.. nothing. Even the download from the browser doesn't work.
I've tried with another APN that's not using a proxy and works. Also with WiFi is ok.
So, my question is: it is posible to enable http proxy in ALL programs? I had no problem on Symbian or Windows Mobile..
This is by no means a definite answer, but in your APN, try adjusting the "APN type" setting. On Telus, it's: default,mms
From what I understand you can try a combination of those two settings, or set it to nothing. See what results you get.
Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately no change.
While it's not the response you were hoping for, since no one else has responded, I would contact my provider if I were in your position. See if they can offer any insight. Good luck!
Thanks but my provider cannot do anything. I've used this connection on other platforms without problem (windows mobile, symbian).
The problem is that application take just the apn without proxy details.. Only the browser is using the proxy
It seems that's an Android issue ..
You may star this issue:

so maybe google will understand the importance of this feature.. i'm still wondering why it's not implemented as it should..

Hey all, I've trawled through the posts here and googled this several times but I cannot find an idiot proof method of setting up GPRs on Pocket PC 2002.
All the setting i find on google are for Pocket PCs without internet connectivity like the XDA.
Does anybody else here have the settings they use and an idiot proof guide to inputting them as this is my first experience using an XDA.
Thanks all.
Got this sorted - thanks.
Virgin Settings
How did you get it sorted??
This is doing my head in. I can't find any settings that work and as you know those numbs nuts at Virgin can't help.
these work for me
select: modem cellular line (gprs)
access point name: goto.virginmobile.uk
user name : user
password and domain - leave blank
under advanced - TCP/IP and servers -dot on use server-assigned IP address
The above worked for me.

Virgin MMS Settings
Yeah. I have managed to set up the GPRS on can now browse website on my PDA.
But what about MMS. I can't find the right settings to make that work.
Does anyone know of a website with this info? (Virgin has thier MMS setting but they do not relate to PDA's)
Or
Can anyone reading this tell me in idiot proof terms how to do it?
Thanks
This might help you setting up MMS on your XDA I

The topic is written specifically for Optus Australia network, but you can just replace the server addresses etc. with your own network's.
I just took those settings from a friend's mobile phone and it seems to work. So i dont think there's a difference between PDA's and phones when it comes to settings for mms. My sefvice provider also refused to give me the settings. Anyways, thats a step in the right direction for you, gd luck!
All,
Trying to figure out what is the best way to setup your network connections on WM6 roms. I'm currently a Tmobile user in USA. The data plan im on, uses a proxy server. So it created an interesting problem if any expert out there can figure this out. HEre goes:
network wizard creates : Tmobile Data, Tmobile mms, on top of the My work network (empty setting), My ISP. None of them uses proxy.
Ok then I went ahead added the proxy into Tmobile Data config then IE works, push mail works from mail2web. AOl emails,YAHOO emails, weather ...etc stops working cuz the proxy.
Ok I decided to play with network management settings like a lot people suggested: I picked My work network (empty setting) as internet, Tmobile Data as private network connect. Now AOL,YAHOO ...etc anything cant use proxy server works, but my IE and PUSH mail fails.
My question is are there ways to tie connection to each application? actually tie into each mail account.
I remember there use to be a skipping proxy cab somewhere, I'm willing to try that cab if someone has it. I just need proxy to be transparents to some mail accounts and maybe applications like HTC weather.
Thank you. Let me know if I confusses everyone.
All,
Ok i did a partial fix.
Changed all the aol,yahoo, accounts to use work connection.
push mail can only use internet connection which has to have proxy. now that my sync doesnt like it, will fail with unreachable sever during sync because of the proxy. More digging. I know there are more tmobile web users out there. anyone has other suggestions?
Hi all,
Just got my S740, which I have to admit is surprisingly good.
My problem getting O2 settings to work.
Is there a .cab?
Tried manual setting but, I am crap at it and always have this initial problem.
Tried the O2 icon in settings, clicked get settings. error 'contact O2 for your settings'.
Anyone please help?
Thanks in anticipation.
SIM card up to date?
Mate is your SIM card up to date? 64k?
Operator services sometime need to interact via STK etc.
Just a thought...
Hi SIM is only 4 weeks old had issues with the settings on my ignito, so O2 sent me a new one.
Any ideas?
so do you miss all settings ?
Or just a bunch...
What do you need ?
APN for internet access, SMS message service number
i.e whats not working for you.....?
Let me know and I will try and find out.
Hi and thanks for your reply.
Everything is working apart from internet and MMS.
Thanks
Then you need your APN details.
Internet access and MMS are both depending on your GPRS settings.
Make sure you get the correct APN adress in your phone.
According to the O2 web, these settings are the correct ones for GPRS.
GPRS access settings
APN: mobile.o2.co.uk
Primary DNS: 193.113.200.200
Secondary: DNS 193.113.200.201
Username: username
Password: password
You might want to doublecheck these settings so that they are the correct ones for YOUR tariff - otherwise you might end up paying more than you should.
Regards,
Martin
btw.
You will find the settings were you add the above at:
Start - Settings - Connections - GPRS.
In here you either edit an existing one, or add a new one (via Menu -Add).
Thanks for the info, these settings I have.
I think the problem is that is it trying to connect to work. What should it be?
Thanks again.
not 100% sure
Have a look at:

Its tricky for me to verify since I am on a Swedish network.
If you want to connect to the internet set connection to "The Internet".
after having trouble connecting to some of my cellular provider services, i have found that no matter what i enter in the User/Pass configuration in the APN settings, its always using the same User/Pass, which is
user: [email protected]
password: NotUsed
after few searches, i have found that the atrix is using the user and password that configured at the file: /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options
so no matter what is configured at the APN setting, it will always use the config from the file...
i do have the ability to edit the default user and password in the file, but still i cannot use more then one user and password...(i've also tried write a '#' before these lines, but it didn't worked out....)
this limitation is quite annoying, first because it's just limiting me! and specially because my cellular provider is using few APN's with different user and passwords....
so i have to use more then one....
is there anyway to bypass that file? so the atrix will use the actual user and password i have configured in the APN settings?
tnx!
?
That's very strange. I have mine configured with the Claro AR APN, and I don't have the issue you describe. User clarogprs and password clarogprs999. Its working fine, with no data issues.
BTW I have 4.1.8.3 with latest Gingerblur.
How are you checking what user/password is being used?
Thread moved.
There is several methods to authenticate users, that are stronger than the APN user and password, so many networks just don't use it... so in many networks this wont be an issue...
Hi guys,
I don't know where else to ask this, it has me totally stumped.
I just changed from O2 to Tesco pay monthly and I can't get my AOL and Gmail accounts to connect.
I've talked through the APN settings with Tesco but they're unable to figure it out either.
I can connect to the internet OK via a browser but my email accounts return an error when I go to inbox and send/receive:
"Cannot Connect", "Cannot connect with current connection settings, to change your conection settings, tap settings"
I've been through it many times without success.
My mail accounts are set up properly, they were working with the O2 SIM, and they connect fine and send/receive over WiFi.
Am I missing something?
(I also have 3 native SD android roms installed on the HD2, they won't even connect to the internet despite my best efforts, phone calls work fine though).
I put the Tesco SIM in an old Wildfire, and it configured correctly straight away
Spent all day googling and trying to figure this out
Help. :crying:
What was the settings they gave you ?
Was it WAP based internet .
What WM ROM are you using, do you have the HTC connection setup link in Settings>Connections as that has Tesco Mobile settings can auto install them.

Thanks for replying
APN: prepay.tesco-mobile.com
Username: tescowap
Password: password
Proxy 193.113.200.195
Port 8080
Yes, I believe it's WAP based.
Rom = 1.66.405.2 WWE
Radio = 2.15.50.14
Yes, I have the connection setup link and I've cleared/reset the database several times.
I also went into Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks and removed all the previous modem settings.
I've used the database settings and also the ones sent by Tesco by text.
Tesco seem to be pretty good, their helpline operator ran through all the settings using his onscreen WM6.5 representation of the HD2's menus (I was surprised they just didn't say "not supported"), but it still doesn't work.
I'm wondering if it could be the Radio Rom, as none of my Android Roms will connect to the internet, (although WM does)
It would be a major task to hard reset, as I have some critical work apps installed and configured just right, so I don't want to do that unless there's no other choice.
If you get another providers sim to work on internet then I doubt it device or radio but rather settings as WAP & proxy is a bit of a pain.
Try the following (I hope has small variation on what you may of tried already !, be sure double check typing & make sure the modem connection has the black selection dot in it once completed; settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections. Add a new modem connection ("New" soft key). Put a appropriate name for new modem connection and choose "cellular line (GPRS)" Next enter apn address, prepay.tesco-mobile.com . Next enter username, tescowap . and password, password . Finish . Under proxy tab , tick "this network uses a proxy.." Put 193.113.200.195 in proxy server box . Tap advanced and put 193.113.200.195:8080 for the first 3 (HTTP, WAP, Secure WAP) and 193.113.200.195:1080 for the last (Socks). Exit from settings then go back in & check you can see the new modem setting & that it the checked connection option, exit again & Soft reset & fingers crossed ...
I'm using a custom WM ROM so don't be put off too much if some details seem named differently.
You may want clean out existing settings or try couple of changes in details if doesn't work :-S
Not a keen fan of your radio version but it is a well used one & I not seen internet connection issues with it but you never know ! so a radio change maybe worth a shot if really come to an end on the settings !
Hi, this is a screenshot of the settings, I think I got it right?
It still doesn't work
instead of port 8080 try 9201 !
I do remember newer builds of Magicall software caused internet connection failure, u happen to have that by any chance !
Port 9201 disables all my internet connection and email still not working
I tried 8080 again, internet back but no email.
I don't have magicall, though I wish I did sometimes
In connections advanced tab under select networks button what do you have selected for programs that automatically connect to the internet ?
Seems it actually connecting in terms of internet means you can't be far off.
Worth running through mail settings & see if anything can be adjusted to help.
Also what mail type is setup here (IMAP/POP3) & does Tesco Mobile have any limitations on mail server connections ?

AOL is IMAP4, I haven't asked Tesco Mobile if they have any specific limitations but the standard settings work fine with the SIM in a Wildfire running Android 2.2, I've gone through all the working settings on the Wildfire to see whether there's anything different there but I can't find anything, though I suppose there might be some small but important setting I've missed
I also tried to set up a gmail account on the HD2, but that doesn't work either
