so here i am in china, did a factory reset , pressed the setup in English and connected to the internet. now i cant get past that as china don't allow google to come in ha, so I'm stuck as what to do? any ideas on how to get round this would be good, i'd even put another operating stysem on it, but not that geeked up on how to do it. so i'd need a step by step process, i have a cable and pc . my sd card don't seem to work in it either , it worked at one point, but now it does not recognise. thanks for any suggestions
In order for someone to assist you get a working device (if that's even possible, I for one do not live or have any experience in China), you need to supply more information about your problem. Are you stuck in the installation process? Have you set up your device, but you can't download apps? Can you not boot your device, or any ROM you've tried?
The more detail you give, the quicker we'll be able to do what we can to help. Good luck =D
basically i did factory reset, i get to go to the first screen, (language set up) then the next screen which is internet connection (it wont let you continue without this as you have to verify the last google email address) then i just get a then i just get the 'checking info,,,' screen which just does not continue from, not even to put my email address in. it just stays on this screen until the battery dies. china bans anything do with google or facebook. so this is why it will not continue from there. i need a google free rom and how to install it please, sorry about late reply, the only time the image verification works is if i connect to a vpn, china is so rubbish for anything to do with the internet, slow speeds and even the captcha thing don't work unless you vpn first.

From memory, I'm pretty sure when you first begin the installation setup thingo, there's a "skip" button down the bottom. Just double check, it may be further in the installation process, but it's worth a shot. That should bypass the need for a Google account.
Is it possible for you to use a VPN on a computer, and set up network sharing so that when you connect the tablet to your computer, it'll use that internet connection? I'm fairly certain it's possible.

yes you cant skip that bit, it is at the start, because you not allowed to skip the google log in bit as it was factory reset and had a previous account, will try the other method though, thankyou

No problem. If you need help with anything else, feel free to ask.
Did you try not connect your Wifi in the first step on your yoga book? I had the same experience when initialing my Samsung S6 and did skip the google logging process by not giving the device the internet connection.
You have to be connected to Internet, won't let you proceed without doing so due to verifying your Gmail account,. What a nightmare ha
I imagine there are ways around the great firewall. Can you use a cellphone's data via a hotspot? Assuming you have service that isn't also blocked. Maybe you can configure your router to use a proxy. I have limited experience with Tor, but in your situation I'd be trying to configure an access point to route all traffic through Tor.

I'm no tech pro by a long shot, but know how to sidestep a few problems, all this networking confuses me, my router is in Chinese so understand that even less than anything. i will try and connect to my mobile phone through the vpn that is on it. . maybe i'm gonna have to admit defeat and take it to the tech pro's in the next town hahaha
Give your cellphone with a vpn a shot. Depending on your vpn's access to google, and if your phone routes hotspot data through the vpn. Short of that... Have you contacted google? Maybe they have a solution for customers in your situation. You'd think there would be easy work arounds. Tor would absolutely be the best avenue - if you could navigate your yoga books connection through it.
I'm in China. Here's what you can try if you haven't found anything else that works.
1. Download and install Lantern VPN (getlantern.org) on your PC.
2. Determine what your PC's IP address is by going to the command prompt and entering ipconfig /all. This works best if your PC has a static IP address as it therefore won't change if the PC restarts.
3. Right click on the Lantern shortcut and add -addr=IPADDRESS:8787 (where IPADDRESS is the IP address you found in step 2) to the shortcut target.
4. Run Lantern on your PC.
5. Connect your Yoga Book to the same wireless network as the PC, then in the Advanced settings section of the Wireless network settings enter in your PC's IP address as your proxy and 8787 as the port.
This should allow your Yoga Book to share the Lantern VPN connection with your PC and therefore get over the Great Firewall. If you get it set up correctly it will work - this is exactly what I used on my Yoga Book when starting it up and it worked just fine.

Hi I have reset my O2 XDA Mini S and run in basic mode (this maybe the problem but...)
I have my University WiFi settings and get as far as WPA/TKIP then PEAP can't do anything from this point on as it asks for a personal certificate.
Someone says they get a pop up asking for a login when tring to connect but I don't it just fails to connect.
Any ideas?
Have it connecting to my home WiFi no problem.
Seems not too many know about PEAP on WM5??
Anyway I hard reset XDA and soft reset to remove customisation and still no luck.
OK Some digging around http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42721&highlight=peap+certificate if you get the hack let me know
But it seems that my Uni should supply me with a certificate via Exchange (I think!) so wil go back and tell them. WM5 a bit new and I think they don't know what the requirements are.
I know the certificate server but obvioulsy it denies me access as I need to be on the Uni network to get in with my codes.
/ponder
Also found http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/pfximprt.html suggests you need a client peice of software but other info contradicts this and I don't see why my Uni will not be able to supply me with a certifificate even if they just point me to a web page someplace.?
/bump
This is kinda turning into a BLOG... Anyway... Was at Uni on Friday and was in a place that discovered a guest Uni unsecured WiFi spot which was different to the one IT have given me.
So got on that but it was unstable connection - then not a few seconds later I get prompted for login/password it but falied and said the certificate is not valid....?!?!
So my last hope is to wait to try active sync connection when IT come and install it to my PC which will connect me to the main network so will try and enroll on the phone to grab the certificate that way then try WiFi access.
OK people, I know this site is supposed to be really great, but I have some simple problems, and I can't find the answers by browsing and searching this site. Hell, I can't even identify which phone I'm using....
I bought an XDA Mini S, so what's that called? A kangaroo or something I guess. anyway - I'm about to see if it'll survive being launched high into the air, that's for sure.
I have a home network, a windows small business server running exchange 2003, an ADSL router/firewall and some PC's.
ALL (!?) I want this damn thing to do is surf the network, and the internet whilst at home using a wireless connection. Then whilst it's out and about - to VPN back to home so I can do the same.
However, the set up of this thing is a right nightmare to understand, "My ISP", "My network", "Work", I can't seem to make logical sense of how this thing operates in a networking environment, and I do understand networks pretty well, so this is VERY vexing, hence why this is flying out the window soon.
Anybody feel they can spare some explanations as to how this thing is structured? If I click on anymore settings I might just go mad gibber dribble.
Paulsco - welcome to the board!
Not to sound like a father, but seriously, go and have a game of Call of Duty or something. That's what I do when I'm stressed. It's not worth throwing the thing out of the window. And if you are in a mood to get rid of it, throw it in my direction. I need a Mini S for development!
Ok, what have you done so far?
Have you got it browsing the net through ActiveSync yet?
Ensure that you can sync, then go to ActiveSync, File Menu, Options, and choose "This computer is connected to " The internet.
Then, ensure that your PDA is set to reflect this as well, the internet.
Then hopefully the two should permit you to browse the net through your ActiveSync connection. Try Internet Explorer on the PDA.
If and when you're doing that, then you can progress to wifi and VPN etc.
For wifi, I've always found this useful:

That's easy - it's the HTC Wizard.
HTC is the comapny that actually makes it and Wizard is HTC's name for it.
Thanks for the response!
That's for the advice - I think I have worn out all the games...
OK - so here is the sit. Make some tea and take a deep breath!
I've got my "wizard" to to most things, it'll sync with Exchange over wifi OR it will sync with a PC via bluetooth, but it won't do both. that's not a real issue though.
Also I can surf the internet via wifi, and I can do this via GPRS, but here is what I need to sort out:
I have two connections listed under settings>connections>connections
The first is the O2 GRPS My ISP connection, and the second is the "My work network" connection. I have defined a VPN to connect back to my firewall in this last connection, but I had to delete the O2 Active default connection in this connection because it kept dialing grps instead of using wifi.
In connections>advanced>network management I have both boxes set to "My work network". this prevents any GPRS calls, until I change the setting. Great, I'd rather not have to have done this, but it does seem to work...
Only thing is, when I am out I tried to connect back to the exchange box and I got from activesync "Your exchange account does not allow syncing, blah blah" which it obviously does because it works from the local network. I have opened all the activesync ports on the firewall.
I hoped to be able to connect the VPN, but this seemed to be impossible with my current config.
I need to be able to configure this so that I can browse my wifi network both locally and remotely. I have managed to get the VPN to connect, but I have no idea why this works sometimes and not others - when you click on connect, you get a beep...and nothing else, no error messages or anything.
So I want to get exchange mail whilst wifi'd: OK that worked this AM because I told everything to use "My work network" that has no GPRS connection defined, but when I wnet out I hthen changed the setting so that it dialed the O2 GPRS connection for Internet, then I got internet, but no VPN connection. then when I returned to the office, I had to soft boot because no matter what I dod, activesync gave me "cannot connect with current settings" - A soft boot cured that, but it's not a real great solution every time you return to the office.
Any help you can give me would be gratefully received! I'll happily bung cash to people for a solution!!!
thanks and regards,
Paul
Okay, I have spent the past few days reading different forums trying to figure out what is wrong with my wifi connection. No one can seem to find the problem. If you are up to the challenge, I would LOVE for anyone else's help.
My problem is as follows,
I got my tmobile MSD just a few days ago. I (being dumb) started messing with the connections before I read how to set them up. Now, whenever I attempt to connect through my WIFI it begins to load, then says this page can not be found. What in the world is wrong with it? I do not have a medi/data plan, so I do not want to use anything that will charge me, hince why I am attempting to use wifi. If anyone can tell me how to get this darn thing to work, I will love it! Thanks so much! have a great day
You are not giving the details needed for people to help you.
If you answer the following you may get a solution:
1) What WiFi network / hotspot are you trying to connect to?
2) Are you sure that network connects to the internet? (Other computers / devices using it?)
3) Are you sure it is not secure?
4) How did you set up your WiFi connection? (Give exact setup parameters)
5) Does the WiFi icon show connected?
6) What URL are you trying to access?
7) Can you access any other site, like google.com?
At the moment there is no way of telling where the problem is.

I agree with levenum... but also you could try this....
go to settings...connections....wifi...menu...remove settings. do a soft reset then.
then whenur ppc is back on again, put the wifi scaner on, find a available accessible network. u must be able to browse again. it has worked 4 me.
worse case-- hard reset
I am trying to connect to my wireless at work (it is not secure) My work computer/laptop can connect.
I have not attempted to do ANYTHING to setup my wifi. I simply turned my wifi on and it picked up the wirless connection. Yes it says it is connected. I have attempted to go to many different URLs, each says the same error message.
If i were to attempt to do a soft/hard reset how do I do that.
If you could not already tell, I am new at this enitre thing.
wiki
please then you must find out by reading the wiki what category does ur ppc fall under. alternatively read th ppc manual or look up on the internet the ppc specifications to find the rest button. usually its a tiny hole where u can insert the tip of the stylus into. that should resEt ur ppc
when i reset it, it will not mess with my SIM card will it

you really are new to this aren't you, don't worry reset does not mess wth the sim card, please don't panic, I had the same prblem as u indeed, and read the WIKI
haha I am! How could you tell lol. THanks for the help!
Before you reset know this:
1) Hard reset will erase all your data and installed programs and restore the phone to factory settings i.e. OS and built in apps only!
Make sure you back it up!
(See manual for button combination, or try Settings->system->Clear storage icon if you have it to preform hard reset)
2) Soft reset (just press with stylus in reset hole) will simply reboot the device.
Neither will help if you didn't manage to connect to WiFi even before messing with your settings.
Also, see if you need to manually enter a gateway or proxy address to connect to to your work network. (This depends on the network settings)
One last thing: when your network is detected and you are asked if it connects to 'The internet' or 'Work' be sure to select 'The internet'.
Thats all I can think of at the moment...
hey there guys new one here just signed up not long a go i my sell got the htc hd2 from t-mobile seems pertty good but i got a little issue
Cannot connect with current connection settings to change your current connection settings tap settings
I’m running Windows xp home with a Dlink EBR 2310 Router.
I’ve forwarded port 3389
I have tried the local Ip-adress and my computer Ip-adress, and I have allow connection for remote desktop.
What am I doing wrong???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hum ok then i know same thing every forum you go to newbie thing well i used Google and the search bar
are you trying to connect while on the same network (i.e. you're at home on your phone where your computer, and router are)?
or are you trying to connect while at another wi-fi location? (away from the location where your computer is)?
at home please note remote desktop is new with me but however i found tutorials at pocketpc i know computers pretty well but this has me stumped....
what would it have to do with the net work? I should be able to connect to my pc even if i was down the street also my computer is not running off WiFi or a wireless router.
I'm no expert by any means, but I managed to connect to remote desktop by using this:
Computer: (use your computers IP address, not your routers)
User: (should be the same as your normal sign in)
Password: (self explanitory)
Domain: (Leave blank)
This worked for me, but I am on the same network as my computer.. I DON'T know how to log in from another wi-fi point.
Izod2010, let me know if this works (on your home network)
If somebody knows how to get remote desktop from an outside Wi-Fi point, please let me (us) know.
Cannot connect with current connection settings to change your current connection settings tap settings
so that's a no it didn't work with My IP or local IP
do you have the Wi-Fi on you phone turned on? I tried to connect without turning on my phones Wi-Fi the first time.
Once I turned it on.. it went without any issues.
nope still same message♠
should i use the router login?
check these out:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5232336_use-remote-desktop-mobile.html
step 2 might fix it.
or check out youtube...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCs4GQma7IQ
(I didn't mess with my router like he said.. It didn't have those setting available to me)
yea no matter what i do it dont work i guess its either phone side or my pc not sure whats wrong.
oh, btw. what operating system are you running? I think you have to have XP professional or newer to run RDT... and like the one website said (that I linked to).. I believe that you need to go into it (on your computer) and allow RDT accessability from outside computers.
other than that, I have no idea.
finally got this working...
upsetting that i can't turn it off/on.. but still bad ass regardless

What do you mean? What can't you turn on/off?
For Remote Desktop you must have XP Pro. XP Home and all other "Home" Windows do not come with the Remote Desktop Server. They do come with the Remote Desktop Client (RDC) so you can connect from the "Home" PC to some other "Pro" system. But you cannot use Remote Desktop Client (RDC) from anything to cennect to a "Home" Windows System. For a "Pro" system, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties" and then select the "Remote" tab to turn on Remote Desktop Server.
I realize this thread is old and technically solved...However I just experienced this same error message and after searching and not finding an answer wanted to post what solved mine for the next person like me.
STUPID...but I just flashed a new ROM and couldn't get signed into RDM--My Data Connection was turned off by default on the new ROM. I didn't realize this until after getting extremely frustrated.
Hope it helps someone in the future
Did you get this to work?
Hello,
could you ever get this to work out??
It was working fine on my touchpro 2, and I used it almost everyday with no problem.
ever since I got my HD2, it NEVER worked, and I tried every way possible. Every time I asked I was told to do the steps mentioned in your post replies and they told me you're a newbie maybe you can't figure it out, Ive been using windows mobile for nearly 10 years now, and I used remote desktop since it was first launched!! and it worked perfect every time.
There is a problem that I can't figure out, Im a computer software engineer and Ive been trying EVERYTHING possible. Something is missing, and wm experts and neglecting this, thinking that we're newbies and just can't figure it out.
Can someone tell me how i can get a small navigation window in remote desktop ? Watch this vide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM&feature=channel PLS help

I have Windows 7 Ultimate... but i ask about small window in PPC (Touch Pro 2) which let me navigate after zoom in.
Hi
I just bought a new asus transformer but I cant use my google account on it. when I try to add a new accoutn it says "Can't establish a reliable connection to the server"
Please help!
Thanks
1. You made sure WiFi is turned on, right? Just thought I would ask in case you missed it, there are some who might miss an obvious thing like that .
2. Do you have 2-factor authentication enabled for your Google account? If so you'll need to create a one-time password to login with instead of your regular password.
Hi
We have the same devices
I have tried doing that but I need google authenticator on the tablet and I cant download it from the market because I cant login
Am I missing something?
Thanks
OK
I managed to turn on 2 step verification and generate a password but when i try to add my account using that password it still does not work...
on my samsung galaxy s it took 2 seconds to authenticate...
What version of Honeycomb are you running? Perhaps updating to the latest version might help if you don't already have it? Also have you made sure you're close enough to your router to get a decent signal? Have you got any kind of internet access via WiFi at all on your TF (try opening a web page)? If not it might be a problem with the TF's WiFi, or you could just try again later in case it's a Google issue. Also when you said your SGS connected in just a couple of seconds was it connected to the same WiFi network as the TF, or did it connect over your mobile signal?
[EDIT]: Did you tweak the WiFi network settings on your TF at all? You didn't try to set a manual IP address, did you?
