where to set http proxy?

On my qtek 2020 (1.72 ROM) I can't find anywhere to set the proxy for Pocket IE to use. There's no settings tab when I choose options from PIE's menu. I can't find it hidden deep away in the connection settings eiter..
Does any one use an http proxy? Where did you set it? Do I have to dig into the registry, or does PIE on the XDA2 not support it?

Apparently, you can only set an HTTP proxy on certain "connections", e.g. "Work Connection" rather than "Internet Connection".
The GPRS/internet connections set up is really b0rked. The MMS composer sees more connections that settings|connections shows, which is another great thing - especially as the WAP connection isn't shown in the settings, and you probably need WAP push to receive MMS messages...
It's pretty ****ed up.

Internet over GPRS with O2 PayAndGo

I have an XDA1 and an o2 payandgo SIM. I have the GPRS activated and have no problem picking up my emails, but I can't use IE or MSMess. It tries to connect for a few minutes then times out. The connection details I have entered are as follows:
APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username: payandgo
P/W: password
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get IE and MSMess to work?
Excellent forum BTW, I've learnt loads in the last few days reading here...

Enable the proxy server setting in connection options and use:
193.113.200.195
You'll now be able to connect to HTML websites via Internet Explorer, but you'll not be able to use MSN Messenger via GPRS unfortunately.

seraphic, are you saying we can get full internet on O2 payg over gprs, I didnt think it was possible, I use the gsm to access the internet to use my 300 free minutes. If so can you give me the full settings.
Deke, what settings do you use to set up your pop 3 email over gprs.

Great, thanks. How do I do that? I've looked in the Connections bit, but the only reference I can find for proxy servers in under the 'Work network' section. Did I mention I'm using PPC2003?
Cruisin', I'll check my settings for you when I get home.

I'd be delighted if o2 payg did gprs,but 2 months ago they said no.I doubt if it's changed.

LMX, GPRS is definitely available on O2 P&G, I have it and use it daily for emails, it's the web-browsing I'm having trouble with.

You need to set up your GPRS settings under the work connections option so you can use a proxy.

Using the proxy server setting you can indeed view HTML sites over pay as you go GPRS. You can't use MSN Messenger, as it only allows access to port 80.

Cruisin',
Sorry for the delay in responding; here are the settings I use for email:-
First off you need to create a new account so that you have SMS, ActiveSync and eMail. Then run through the settings entering your details (all pretty straightforward stuff). The server info is dependent on whoever is your email server. I have a pop3 o2 account to make it easy, so the servers are mail.o2.co.uk (incoming) and smtp.o2.co.uk (outgoing).
Hope this helps.
Seraphic,
I'm fully webb'd up now, thanks a lot!

I have been told many times that it is possible for internet over gprs on O2 payg, I have tried every suggestion to the letter, I cannot do it, I can get wap over gprs, I can get internet over gsm. I was told by an O2 technician on this forum that it was not possible to get full internet over gprs with O2 payg sim. How can some people get it and others cant? I would be very grateful to see the full settings for the xda/xda 2 listed in a foolproof manner.

OK, full instructions:
* I recommend deleting any existing GPRS settings you have under the work connection settings before entering these to avoid confusion *
1. Go to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections.
2. You'll see 2 sets of option links. 'My ISP' and 'Work'. Under the work links, choose 'Add a new modem connection'.
3. Name for connection: o2 gprs. Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS). Tap Next.
4. Access Point Name: payandgo.o2.co.uk
5. Username: payandgo
6. Password: password
7. Tap Finish.
8. Back in the connections settings screen, tap 'Edit My Proxy Server'.
9. Tick 'This network connects to the Internet' and 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet'.
10. In the proxy server box enter: 193.113.200.195
11. Tap OK.
12. Back in the connections settings screen, tap the Advanced tab.
13. Tap 'Select Networks'
14. In both drop down boxes choose 'Work' as the connection. Tap OK.
15. Tap OK again.
16. You are now ready to surf o2 pay as you go gprs full internet.

That's what I did and it works well, but do bear in mind the O2 network is very tempremental; I've been trying to get a connection all day with no joy and I KNOW my settings are correct.
One thing I have noticed though, I can't pick up my emails anymore. It seems the outbox will only connect with an ISP connection and IE will only work with a work/proxy connection. Can I get over this somehow?

iT WORKS, IT WORKS, IT WORKS. :shock: :shock: :shock: :? 8) :lol: :wink:

Glad to hear it

Connection problems
I have just got an unlocked M1000 and I have been trying to set it up to allow me to connect to the internet using a pay as you go sim. I have followed the instructions above, but i just keep on getting errors of the page not being able to load. I know that the pages exist as I am just using big sites pages such as microsoft.com etc. at the moment. Anyone got any ideas on what the problem could be.

I think they blocked the port for internet over gprs.

Yes they have altered a lot of thinge recently. The trick to get html throught the wap portal was blocked & they also blocked all except wap on the GSM WAP dial up too. There is a different Mobile WEB GSM number but that is 40p a minute so GPRS would probably be cheaper.

Mobile Web on Pay and Go
Dingo mentions that there's another GSM number that's 40p a min to access mobile web....................does this mean I can actually get full HTML web access on my Pay and Go XDA ????? How (what's the number?)
I only need to surf HTML pages occasionally - so it's not worth going to contract .................
Thanks

Proxy with pocket ie

Hi , i am very new to pocket pc and so far its been good until i decide to use my HTTP proxy server with pocket ie,
firstly i dont get why pocket pc has My isp and My work sections on connection settings
secondly if i setup an gprs apn to isp section i cant use or add proxy server settings to it, if i create same apn on my work network section i can add and use my proxy server, thats ok i went advenced section and changed both (programs that connect to internet and private network) auto. used networks to my networkbut now if i try to get my emails with my ppc outlook can not connect to internet unlesss i change first setting ( programs that connect automaticly to the internet setting) back to my isp and if i do that pocket ie wont use my proxy server, is there any way to use porx server on pocket ie?

i have found my answer:
"Any user or ISP that uses a proxy and still connects directly to the internet will not work. The proxy assumes all connections with a dot in the name go to the proxy and that the proxy supports socks or winsock to connect. So company's that use a proxy to speed up access to the internet like when you use wireless will experience issues with e-mail due to this issue. So with the connection to Work, you can get to the web but no otherservice. So if you set it to The Internet then you can get e-mail but no web. "

Cingular USA Settings for the Trinity

I've now had my Trinity for a week and I love it. The GPS and TOM TOM are great. I bought a car mount from Mobile Planet (Expansys) and it works better than the Magellan I was using. The phone functions work generally well, although not as crisp as my Cingular 8525.
I set up the MediaNet connections manually using the settings from the AT&T web-site, and it seems to work well.
There are cab files for all of the Cingular settings that are posted on the XDA Hermes/TyTn list, but I'm not sure if there are any settings in that cab that will improve my Trinity's connectivity. I'm also concerened that I may in some way disable the Trinity with this cab file.
Any Comments?
Ron

I'm in the market for my 2nd Trinity. Where did you get it and what did you pay? Some resellers still have old stock with the old ROM.
As far as your settings go, I saw little or no difference with the cingular settings in my area. There are a couple of options you have including DNS servers and access point. I've had good luck with the folowing:
cellular line GPRS
access point - wap.cingular
user name [email protected]
pw CINGULAR1
no domain
Advanced server settings
DNS 208.67.222.222
ALT 208.67.220.220
Others may have a different experience. I never installed the cab.

I got my Trinity from Phone Source USA for 593 shipped. Here goes a link to their ebay auction.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-new-HTC-P...ryZ64355QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Results from quick experiment: San Francisco, USA
HTC Trinity (Latest LVSW.1.0.0.7 rom & Radio.1.41.00.11)
The Cing cabs (from this Forum) used to make settings put adv server config numbers in. Everything else is exactly same as manual setup with auto or configured servers.
Advanced server settings
DNS 208.67.222.222
ALT 208.67.220.220
Phone Band network type set: Auto
GSM/UMTS set: GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
Method: Connections, Advanced, Selected Network, MEdia Net settings or WAP (no proxy) settings, IE defaulted to Windows Live, clicked on url to DSL Reports-Speed Test, 600K used for every test, resulting kbits/sec, re-entered DSL Reports url each test. Between different network settings runs, made change, & soft reset. 2 separate run sets for both network configs & auto/non-auto adv server setup. All numbers kbits/sec.
MEdia Net-AUTO: 804, 889. Avg=847
MEdia Net-Adv settings: 880, 857. Avg=869
WAP-no proxy-AUTO: 634, 618. Avg=626
WAP-no proxy-Adv settings: 632, 705. Avg=669
(For accuracy, each number of the first 2 pairs presented are also averages of 3 separate runs each, with lowest value dropped & 2 used for avg of that run.)
Either method shows MEdia Net as mycingular.net or WAP-non-proxy as myvzw.com, but different ip addresses, for these runs.
Looks like NO STATISTICAL DIFFERENCES in overall results as to the use of Advanced dedicated dns settings.
Also, using the Cingular apps, i.e., MobiTV, Media Net Video, Streaming Video or Music, or other (non-Cingular) Internet Streaming Video & Audio sites, AUTO server-assigned settings worked almost always.
When switching to Adv dedicated settings instead, sometimes a change to AUTO-server assigned would be necessary to get the Video or Audio to run correctly.
Similar results obtained with HTC Tytn.

The only diff I saw with DNS is the time it takes to locate and open web pages. Much faster with the DNS settings I listed above for all of my devices. It has been a year or so since I have changed anything. Results may not be the same now.

How did you put in these settings? I went to Settings --> Connections --> GPRS Setting, but it only has 2 radio buttons: "PAP authentication" and "CHAP authentication".

Create a new connection with those settings.

I am using the .cab 'Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2' on my Trinity and I am always getting nice 3G speeds (Since I am in UMTS or HSDPA areas 95% of my day).

If I go to Settings --> Connections --> Tasks, I only see
"Add a new model connection"
"Add a new VPN server connection"
....
I have tried all of those options, but don't see to be able to create a connection described by you. Can you help? Thanks.

You said: "How did you put in these settings? I went to Settings --> Connections --> GPRS Setting, but it only has 2 radio buttons: "PAP authentication" and "CHAP authentication"."
For GPRS, choose CHAP. Then return to Connections, to continue dialog.
Go to Settings/Connections/Connections:
There you should see: 2 main Headings: Media Net & My Work Network
Also, you have the Advanced tab at bottom, Click on that:
Click on Select networks
Choose on top dialog, My Isp for setting up Data connection OR media Net for setting up proxy connection.
OR, an easy way is:
The file commented on in previous post by maevro, is the easiest way. Do a search on forum, you'll find it easily. Install the cab. Search for cab: Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2

Just create a new modem connection.

Thank you guys, I appreciate it. I am able to get it to work now. How come mine says I connect to EDGE, but not 3G? Again, thank you.

Wow, why go through all of this? Download this .cab and run it & it will set up all the AT&T/Cingular settings...I have said this a while back in this thread....

Managing multiple (more than two) connections automatically

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, and I have tried searching for a similar entry here at xda-developers.
I have a problem managing multiple connection automatically with my HTC TyTN II (WM 6) device. Here's the scenario:
1. I have configured the Internet connection to be the Internet APN of my ISP (the first connection entry in the Connections / Tasks tab. This works ok.
2. I need to access WAP pages (available only to customers of the ISP I'm using) via the WAP proxy of my ISP. I have configured this in the second entry in the Connections / Task tab. I have configured the APN, and proxy server for WAP browsing. I use wsp:// as the protocol in the address field of IE. This works fine, as well.
3. I also need to use ActiveSync to access company E-Mail. Our company has a third APN for this purpose to access the Exchange server in the Intranet. I have configured this in the second section on Connections, or the Network management under "Programs that automatically connect to a private nerwork should connect using:". The problem is that I need to use both the WAP APN, and this Intranet APN. With current setup I need to manually select WAP APN, when I browse the WAP pages (available only via the WAP proxy), and the Intranet APN, when I would like ActiveSync to sync with the company Exchange server.
Now, I've also tried selecting "Auto pick" in Connections/Advanced tab->Select Networks->Edit (private network section). It seems to always pick the first one, since it's a working conection. I guess this is how it should work. The question is: is there a way to tell ActiveSync to use a particular connection, or put it in another way: is it possible have two private networks, so that WAP browsing would use one, and ActiveSync the other one automatically. Only the WAP connection is using a proxy server. Company E-Mail is accessed via diffrent APN with username, but without a proxy server.
Thanks for your time,
Minoru
