Internet Explorer - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

I have the newest AT&T 6.1 ROM on my Tilt. I've noticed that via WIFI, I can view information on the web through IE, that I can't via the 3G network.
I have a securities practice test site that I enter to study for exams. If I jump into WIFI (home or Starbucks, etc.), I can view the practice test questions. If I'm NOT on WIFI, the test questions don't load...
Can anyone tell me why this happens? And, is there a way around it?
****Skyfire has NO problem at all with OR without WIFI. But I don't like the way the zoom feature with Skyfire shows the material, and I have to adjust it each page. Painfully frustrating. Opera, like IE, does NOT allow the viewing of the test questions either. ONLY Skyfire loads the entire page when NOT on WIFI.
Thanks for your help...

It sounds to me that it is likely a javascript problem. I'm not so sure PIE handles javascript at all.
If the page has javascript it may not display correctly, or possibly not at all.

Thanks for the reply. Here's the thing. It'll work FINE if I'm using the WIFI on my Tilt. It's ONLY when I use the phone (H, 3G) to access the web. It seems that the WIFI connections have something that my H or 3G connection via the phone doesn't. But thanks for the input.
Seems that this is a hard one to figure out. But I appreciate your stab at it with me.

How about coverage? But seriously, have you tried it in other areas?

think U will nid this..
something abt hidden proxy for PIE...
I had the same problem few days back after flashing a rom..
no problems when using opera mini.. only PIE giving problems.

Could be the carrier proxy being used through IE. Naturally via WiFi you cannot use the ATT proxy . Skyfire uses its own proxy thus the issue at hand.
Noticed this issue too on some sites. You could report it to the carrier but dont count on immediate resolution.

Thanks for the reply. I think you guys have cured the IE problem!!!! I JUST loaded the removehiddenproxy cab and the information came up in IE!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Now, Opera STILL doesn't show the information (I would rather use Opera), so if there was a way to do the SAME thing for Opera, that would be COOL! But the cab sure cured the IE problem. Anyone know if there's a "removehiddenproxy" cab that works for Opera?

This makes PERFECT sense!!! Thank you for your help. This means that Opera 9.5 Beta probably has the "hidden proxy" as well! Know how I can remove that other than contacting Opera developers (I don't know HOW I would do that...)?

did you ever sort you issue with opera, as im in the same boat, cant get it to conect to the net, been searching the forums today and still even with disablehidenproxy.cab, cant get it to connect!

vtap problem

Well I have a strange one.
Installed vtap and it seems to be good over wi-fi but on EDGE or 3G I have a problem any video I try I get this error "resolved link is empty, clip :" I have youtube with TCMP working fine. I have a TILT with HTC ROM on it, I never tried it on the ATT rom. Very strange anyone else has this problem ?
No, I vtap works fine on my tilt on 3G, but hangs on wifi. I'm on the AT&T rom.

Lol thats funny. How about EDGE ?
I don't know... since I have the AT&T rom, I don't have a way to to turn 3g off. I'll have to check the next time I don't have a 3g signal (which does happen, sometimes the 3g signal isn't very strong).
Yes I know 3G is no where near where it supposed to be on ATT yet. But I still dont understand this. What I did find was, if I do you wifi to watch one video and then turn it of then it works on EDGE or 3g, but after closing and going back to the program it doesnt work again. This sucks I really like VTAP

Hello. I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service. I am sorry you are encountering this problem. I have a couple of questions to ask to try to get the bottom of this.
1 - Do you have a proxy configured on the phone at all?
2 - What is the ROM version which is running on your phone?

No proxy.
Running HTC ROM OS 5.2.1620 build 18125.0.4.2
running it on the TILT.
Strangly it works thru WIFI or if I run 1 video on the wifi and then disable wifi while vtap is open and then try another video (not the same one) it loads it just fine, but if I close Vtap and reopen it same thing no dice. Very strange
Thanks for the help (really like vtap !!!!!!!!!!!)

We have found the problem. There is actually an "internal" proxy being configured in this ROM. The clips are failing to play when using this internal proxy. We are working on an updated client which will fix this problem. I will let you know when this fix is available.
I've got the same problem. Hoping for a fix since this looks like a good option for videos. Looking forward to it.
Mine is superfast on WiFi of course. And I get some content on 3G....Hardly any on Edge

Used the remove hiddenproxy cab but that didn't help. I don't see any proxy settings in connections. I have the HTC Rom on my tilt and it appears that many are in the same boat as I?

We will have the updated version posted within the next day or so. As soon as it is available, I will let you know. I am sorry for the delay in getting this out.
you shouldnt even need a cab...go to settings ---connections---connections, and look around and there should definitely be a "my connection uses a proxy" check box that you just uncheck...I would be more specific, but I no longer have the AT&T rom on my phone. Hope this helps
I've searched all over connections and I can't find any editable proxy settings or checkboxes on my tilt running the HTC ROM.

Hello All.. We have posted a new version of the vTap client. This version has a number of bug Fixes:
1 - Storage Card - Previously if you requested vTap to be installed on a storage card, it would still get installed into the main memory of the phone. This has been fixed, and vTap will now be installed onto the storage card.
2 - Double Icon - Previosly when installing vTap, there would be 2 icons created in the Programs folder. Now after installing, there should be only one icon.
3 - Proxy Issue - There was an issue when connecting through some proxies where you would not be able to play clips. An error would be reported indicating the resolved clip is empty. This issue has been resolved.
You can install the latest version of the vTap client by pointing the browser on your phone to www.vtap.com, and downloading the appropriate application.

Problem w/ internet connectivity

I'm not sure what it is, but for some reason some of the programs are not connecting to the internet on my tilt. i'm running the q-mobile tilt rom, and the only thing that is connecting to the medianet is palringo. i can't access the new w/ windows live or internet explorer. any idea what it could be?
no ideas from anyone...i know they're a boat load of phone-tech savy people here, someone has to have some kind of idea?

Hi dude
more info plz!! I didn't well undertand your problem!
Are you trying to connect by your Pravider Data Connection (GPRS/HSDPA) or by WiFi??!!
sorry, i guess i didn't say that. i did say medianet, but i sure have been a little more concise. but yes, i'm trying to connect through att wireless medianet. the weird thing is, i am connected because i am able to go online with palringo and talk w/ contacts on aim, but IE doesn't work, windows live doesn't work either. i went through and changed some of the settings in media net per attwireless support forum, i'm looking for the proxy cab to download as it isn't on my phone, this could be the fix for it...but i highly doubt it because the internet was working on my phone just fine for the first week or so after i installed my ROM. now it just wont connect anymore, and i know i didn't do anything except uninstall solitaire and a few other games
ok...not much progress, but i guess this is a start. instead of getting an error message when i try to open a page w/ IE, in the status bar it says "Locating..." "Opening...", "0 Kb"...then it just stops, and nothing loads up. I'm stumped

First of all sorry, but i'm not American, so correct me if i'm wrong: "ATT Wireless" is your Phone Provider, right? and you are trying to connect to internet using the Provider Data Connection and not Wi-Fi, e.g. through your home router (Wi-Fi = Wireless but not "ATT Wireless", names coincidence!!! ), right? if this is correct, you didn't answer me to the above-mentioned question (using Provider Data or Wi-Fi??)!!
So try to set this Windows options:
Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections -> Advanced Tab -> Networks Selection -> than select in the two options your Internet Provider service, more ,if you need, under the both tweak keys you can edit it, like proxy settings!
Hope to well undertand your problem!
Umm...i did answer your question, i did say it was attwireless. I'm guessing you're not familiar with NA cell phone providers, which i'm sorry we missed, but i did answer the question. No need for the rolling of eyes. But yes, as i said in some posts earlier, i did change those settings already as per the attwireless support forum on their website. But its still not working.

...ok, we misunderstanding, or better,i didn't well understand you!
However give a look here , maybe it helps you!
Ciao
its ok, no problem at all. thanx for the link but that didnt' work either.i really dont know whats going on with my phone, the internet worked flawlessly for the first 2 weeks i had my phone, then it just stopped working yesterday. well, it stopped working for every other program except for palringo, and i'm almost certain that it is not sms based, so i dont understand why that would work, and not other programs.
UPDATE:
ok, so i tried using the media new gprs connection with my 8125, same situation. i'm not sure what on earth it could be, but w/e it is, i can use palingro and aim pocket pc on my tilt, but i just can't get any data from web or anything else. go figure. i think i'm just gonna let give it up for the day, i've been working on it for 8 hours. maybe take a look at it again this weekend, i dont HAVE to have the net until monday, but even then i can still use wifi until i get this sorted out.
ok, so it looks like just about everything is working now on my phone except internet explorer while connected to the AT&T wireless EDGE/3G connection. I can download the maps while connected to Windows Live GPS, i'm able to sign on and chat while using agile messenger, i can download emails on the go with my outlook mailbox.
The only thing that is giving me a problem still is internet explorer/opera mobile. Anytime i type in a page it says "locating...", "opening..." "0 KB" while using IE then it just stops there and doesn't load a thing, and when using opera is says no connection detected. Anybody know what this could be? I dont see anywhere in IE or opera where you can change browser settings as far as connectivity...
very similar problem
Hi,
I'm having a very similar problem. I have an HTC TYTN II unlocked. It has worked beautifully for a couple of months and suddenly PIE would not work. It says Connecting...Locating...Opening and then hangs in there for a while until it error outs with "the connection has been lost"
I'm on T-Mobile full internet plan. The ROM is original stock ROM (UK). Curiously, the "push" emails continues to work, but PIE does not. I can't login to Live messenger either.
I have reset the phone to factory settings to no avail. I have called T-Mobile and they say my account is okay.
Any idea? This is really weird.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
elkavayo, where are you located? I am having the same problem today & I am in south florida. I just got off the phone with a T-Mobile tech & he tried something and said it appeared to be a network problem - not a phone issue. Wi-fi is working fine.
weebo523
I'm located in South Florida too, Miami to be precise. Those were my thoughts initially, but I called T-Mobile and they told me that there were no outages or network problems. This has been happening to me since Wednesday 8:00 AM.
Additionally, I swap SIMs with a friend, who also have T-Mobile, and configured his phone (HTC Touch unlocked) to use T-Mo full internet and it worked on his phone with my account!
My wide and daughter (Dash and T-Mo SDA) can also connect to thye net normally with their phones, so I don't think it is the service. Mine doesn't work with neither full nor T-zones. It does work with Wi-Fi though.
The mystery continues... thanksfor sharing your story. Hopefully we'll find a "cure" soon. I've beenthinking about "upgrading" to 6.1.....
i have the same problem with an unlocked Tilt running on my Rogers network.
all my messaging apps work but not Internet Explorer.
I'm in Fort Lauderdale and just had the same problem .. I have TWO 8525's (TyTn) on T-Mobile and also a Wing with T-Mobile, whats weird, is that both 8525's are having the problem, whereas the Wing is working fine.
There is definately an issue right now with South Florida and t-mobile.
elkavayo & vr24, this is strange. It seems to be happening exclusively to the Tilt / TyTn & in South Florida with one Rogers. And it seems like very few of us have the problem. I am usually pretty good at trouble shooting but this has me stumped.
totally, I have tried tons of settings, everything I can come up with, used their Data Configurator, I've tried 3 different ROMs, including Win Mo 6.1, and even on the TyTn forum, people with the 8525 in other parts of the country aren't having the issue.
It's really messed up, and as I said, my Wing works fine, lol... but I want my TyTn as the wing is having other malfunctions. the only problem is, how can you argue it's the network when one phone works and the other doesn't. there is SOMETHING that changed on the network though that is not accepting something with the tytn, in just our area, lol.. obviously. Just no idea what it is.
vr24 - at least you saved me the trouble of trying different ROMs, which I was just about to do I did try going to a backup with no luck. Do you think that something could have gone bad in the phone that connects us through GPRS?
I guess I will have to sleep on this for now. Hope you or someone figures this out while I'm sleeping - VBG
Lol... don't count on me too much to figure this one out. It's quite the nightmare really. And it's a shame. I just purchased my 2 Hermes and was thrilled to have them and they were working, now I have very expensive bricks basically!!!
Anyways, help would be awesome to anyone out there willing to continue troubleshooting this.
Well I have some "good" news... I'll be heading from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles this coming Wednesday, if we don't get it sorted out by then, and this magically works on the West Coast, I'm jam t-mobiles balls into a vice grip until they fix it. I'm REAL curious to see if it makes any difference.

Pocket Internet Explorer won't work on Tilt

Hi everyone,
I've been searching for a solution for my problem on here through the forum's search and the Google search all day but haven't found one yet so I'm finally throwing my hands up in frustration and posting hoping that some of the very talented and kind folks online can help me out.
I bought an AT&T Tilt last month and the pocket IE worked fine on it when I was using it with AT&T in Northern California. I am using Dutty's WM6 rom and the .17 radio.
I then flew out to Islamabad, Pakistan where I am currently staying. I used the SIM-unlocker found on this forum and everything seemed ok. Pocket IE continued to work on my network here (Mobilink, they have GPRS and EDGE). Then suddenly 2 weeks ago, pocket IE stopped working. Now whenever I try to load a page in it, it just gets stuck at "Locating" and the animation looking for the website keeps going in circles. It never finds the site. I've tried all kinds of different websites and always no luck.
At the same time, Opera works 100% without any sort of problem. Also I am able to use the built-in WM6 e-mail manager to check my Gmail over IMAP over the same GPRS/EDGE connection so I know my connection is fine. Pocket IE still doesn't work. I checked in connection settings to make sure there was no proxy enabled, that both my networks were set to my provider (mobilink)'s connection settings and I double-checked my connection settings with my provider. I feel as if it isn't their fault since all my colleagues are able to use their phones and the Internet and even on my device, the other applications such as Opera and built-in mail work. I also downloaded the Gmail java applet and even that works perfectly.
I'm at my wit's end about what I should do or try that could make a difference and I would sincerely appreciate any help anyone can offer. I've heard of a disablehiddenproxy option but have so far been unable to find that .cab file anywhere that I could download it...and I'm not sure if that fix would apply for me since I am no longer using the AT&T/Cingular network.
Please help! Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Hi,
I'm back with a solution to my own problem, it seems!
I did find the disablehiddenproxy.cab here and installed it.
I then did a soft reset (pushed the stylus into the little reset hole) and when the phone turned back on, pocket internet explorer is once again working perfectly.
Thank you XDA developers for providing all this information for free!
thanks - you just saved my day.
i was clueless to why my PIE didnt work all of a sudden - and now it works again...

Hi Everybody,,having problems with 3G speed and can't figure out why?
I am in Calgary, with HTC Tytn that I have had for 1 1/2 years. Ever since I could see them experimenting with 3G (could see the icon) I was waiting for the day that I could see the benefits of 3G. Well,, my speed of download is miserable, even with full 3G bars. I have all the proper icons showing up on top, 3G,, and when downloading internet page I see the H icon appear. An aquaintance in Winnipeg, said that he almost gets Wifi speed with 3G.. I have put a new sim card (thought that might be a reason,because it was out of my old blackberry). I am really depressed ,especially when I went to download an internet page on a demo iPhone and was blown away by the speed, which I don't have. I now hve Schaps 4.31 and Radio 1.51,, and basically,since owning the unit have never had the speed. Can anyone possibly help me figure out what is wrong? Perhaps over chat, skype? I have always used Lurch's settings whenever I put in a new Rom, and I feel that all HSDPA is enabled through Schaps config, and elsewhere. Any help would be most welcome. I still love my TyTN,, Thanks for any help you can give to me. I have of course IE browser, but also Opera
worked for me too
But what the heck caused it in the first place.

Thanks
You just saved me to. PIE stopped working for no reason a few months back. I have been looking for a fix without sucess untill now. Thanks once again!
Gas Addict - another thank you - worked like a charm.
For my education - can anyone explain the hidden proxy issue.
What is it? where did it come from? and where did it go to? and why was the problem intermittent? PIE locked only 80% of the time - sometimes it worked OK only to fail again... Tks again
The hidden proxy, is exactly what is says it is...A hidden proxy. The proxy allows AT&T users to connect to medianet services via their phone's internet connection. If you disable the proxy you will not be able to connect to medianet services (such as typing "home" and it takes you to AT&T's medianet site).
If you are not using AT&T then you should have it disabled in the first place. My guess is that some piece of software enabled the this proxy somehow. All the cab does is reset IE to autodetect if there is a proxy, which can also be done in Kaisertweaks.
Nothing too exciting to reveal, but since all you guys wondered what it did, i thought i'd look and let you know. It's just a provisional xml file that inputs some settings and registry edits.
Did you mean "If you are not using AT&T then you should have it DISabled in the first place"?

Thank you for the CAB file. The file fixed my IE issue on unlocked ATT Tilt on Rogers Network.
Pocket IE back in line
No idea why my PocketInternetExplorer could all of a sudden only open locally stored .htm files, but nothing on internet anymore. OperaMini 4, OperaMobile 10 and SkyFire browsers continued working without any problem.
A few applications rely on a functioning PIE, so could not be used as a result.
Luckily this .CAB did the trick for me too, many thanks Gass Addict!

Opera 9.5 build 405 Wifi Isssue

Has anyone encountered a problem on the Tilt where Wifi connects but opera 9.5 will not operate using the connection, my tilt is unlocked and running on the tmobile network by the way. i thought it might be the hidden proxy so i installed the cab, it did nothing. I've searched the forum for three days, any help is greatly appreciated.
So really no one knows hows to fix this? Or has at least experienced a simular issue?
Do you have the same problem with PIE?
I have the same issue and still havent found a way to fix it!
where the hell are you guys getting opera 9.5?!
Check your connection settings, I've a dutch rom so I don't now what it's exactly in english roms,
I guess start>settings>connections tab>connections>advanced tab>select network
Somebody told me I had to set those both to "my work-network".
I can use PIE and Opera 405 now over wifi and by activesync (I don't use gprs/3gp)

Didnt work...any other suggestions?
I've come to believe the problem is in he way the browser accessing your data plan. I think it's using an APN gateway rather than a direct socket or http connectivity to data... therefor, if it doesn't see the APN of your data network, no worky worky. I haven't figured out the settings to get it to work in "opera:config" yet...
Maybe someone smarter than me could confirm this...
Here's some more info (albiet it is an article for opera mini, I think it might be the same issue):

okay if you really make a search of this you will find it.

in opera:config you cant do nothing. Just use hide proxy.cab, after that opera will use any connection. Then if you go opera:config you will find opera doesn't use the proxy of you're carrier. You will conect to wifi. it worked for me
thank you I'll try that
It works now!!!
YAY! it works. I just did the removeproxy.cab and now it works fine with wifi. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!

Diamond 2 opera problem and questions

I received my diamond 2 on Saturday (yay) and couldn't wait to start playing with it. However it does have one major problem straight out of the box and i wonder if anyone else has experienced it.
The opera browser is very unstable. It triggers a general exception error from Windows and either constantly asks to send error reports (duely turned off!) or just shuts itself down. Anyone else experienced or found a fix?
Secondly the browser keeps trying to render in mobile mode unless i select the link to go to HTML, how do i turn that off cos the screen renders full screen beautifully.
A few other annoyances, The data connection only seems to work on HSDPA and not GPRS, this is a potential big problem.
The youtube client only works with a wifi connection, what!! HSDPA is easily fast enough to stream, is this specific to my device.
Anny assistance would be appreciated as i would like to know if these problems are specific to my device or just general annoyances.
Cheers.
I don't recognize your problems at all. Opera hasn't crashed one single time on me since I got the D2 last friday. It works very fast and stable, better than any Opera cab I installed on my old Cruise. Full screen (not mobile view) works excellent and is always default in my Opera.
I haven't deliberately used the data connection over GPRS yet, but I have seen the G symbol instead of the 3G or H symbol, when being in some areas. So at least it does see the GPRS network correctly. I have no reason to assume it wouldn't work there.
The youtube application works great too. Completely stable and fast, again not like any Youtube cab I tried on my old Polaris before. And I just tested, it works through wifi and 3g.
I'm sorry for your problems. I am really surprised on how great my Diamond2 is. I think they really hit the nail on the head this time. I don't know how to solve your problems, but if this behaviour happens even directly after you hard reset the device, I guess your only option is to send it back.
haven't had any of that really myself and i actually tried to 'overload' opera. I run it fullscreen an all.
have you tried the general discussion forums? If it's opera itself, you'll maybe find something there.
youtube is a bit sluggish at times in 'hq mode' but fine otherwise for me
why is hsdpa over gprs a problem? Both are for data, just hsdpa is quite a bit faster even when taking the fastest gprs vs. the slowest hsdpa data rate.
unless networkcoverage is an issue in your case i wouldn't personally pick 2G over 3G..
maybe you're simply the unlucky one, harsh as it may be.. have you tried HTC customer helpdesk?
I haven't had those problems with opera, haven't seen it crash once yet. Have you tried a hard or soft reset?
I do notice opera on the Diamond 2 is terribly laggy compared to opera mini on my old mobile. Tried skyfire and it's worse, iris about the same.
I found the youtube app works great over HSDPA (and wifi), now this version I do prefer and can't find any faults with it.
my opera crashes if a proxy is enabled on connection settings.
did not have any crashes as i do not use the internet
but when using quickmenu it always shows the opera runing.
you cannot stop it weird

Push internet maybe? (just guessing)
cheers for the replies. I've actually hard reset the device aswell as soft resets. however opera still remained unstable. the problem seems to be with windows though as the error message was from windows and an install of opera 9.5 beta 2 caused the same problem. seems ok now though so will have to to monitor it.
i have to say youtube is a concern as it won't connect unless on wifi.
may take some getting used to or may need sending back, either way i think the software is at fault though, i think the device itself is top notch.
I say it's ok and 30 seconds later opera crashes. dame windows and it's nuances!!
I've experienced some strange behaviour of windows and some programs on my old Cruise some time. Frequent crashes, windows errors and other annoyances, like frequently loosing activesync connection and not seeing the sd-card. In the end, it was caused by a faulty board inside the device. After replacement of the board all problems where gone. I had spent hours trying other ROM's and hard resetting before that.
What I'm trying to say is, that sometimes hardware faults are just causing minor problems, while the device works well most of the time. Then you're eager to think it's a software or ROM problem, but it ain't always. If I were you, I'd send it back. I do understand that's not something you'd really like to do when it just arrived

Tried the proxy thing?
As Trinode says you really do want to turn off the proxy setting within the connections page of WM itself. T-Mobile, for example, always adds the useless proxy setting which will almost certainly crash Opera when you look at Gmail.
Why oh why does the connection wizard still insist on adding a proxy when you clearly don't need it?
Thanks for all the replies, this forum really is bloody usefull!
I have tried the proxy thing, and was waiting to respond to test but incredibly this seems to have done the trick! Opera hasn't died since i removed the proxy. Thanks trinode.
I'm with you wibberly, can't see why on earth they need this proxy setting in there, my data connection is far more stable and opera now seems to work fine. Weird!
One thing though is that the youtube app stil doesn't register a network connection through the phone signal, WIFI only. Wonder if this is a T-Mobile data restriction? The fine print from them does say that you shouldn't stream videos. Didn't affect my last contract though. That said i can't say i'm too bothered so long as the device itself is happy.

Maybe you can try it with someone elses SIM?
Damn proxies indeed. They always block all my e-mail connections. Turning it off is the first thing I do.
I too had the opera crash problem, but after ttrying to get hotmail to work in TouchFlo natively by turning off the Proxy settings, I've killed two birds with one stone... Stable Opera + Hotmail in TF3D! Wohoo.
Now, who can help with my next query?
I've tried to set the max number of tabs to 6, (as I that's the way I had it set up on my old D1,) under opera:config, and change the user id to sgh-i900 so I can get BBC iPlayer, but doesn't matter how many times I do this, (and press save settings, just incase you ask,) every time I launch Opera, it reverts back to it's default settings, so I'm stuck with 2 crappy tabs and no BBC iPlayer!!!!!!
Any ideas?
Is it possible to change the default Internet Browser to IE from Opera when you press "Launch Browser"?

Well, this didn't sort the problem for me. I don't use a proxy. I get the error when rss heb notify is on and it notifies for new updates. Wether I press OK or cancel there it gives the shell32.exe error.

Just to reiterate the above. I received my TD2 today on T-Mobile from mobilephonesdirect.com and Opera was a crashfest until I removed the proxy setting. IT IS A MUST DO SETTING CHANGE!
