I had to hard reset my Fuze and got rid of the bloatware. There are some cabs that I restored but what does the proxy and hiddenproxy cabs do in windows folder?
When in weather tab, sometimes it says that I dont have data connection. Im hoping that I need to install one of these...
The 'hidden proxy' is a proxy that your phone uses to get onto the web. So if it is enabled your phone is routed over AT&T's network. You cannot use medianet without it. However, it slows down other apps and causes major problems with some apps like Internet Explorer and the weather app. I disable the proxy at all times since I don't use any of the AT&T medianet type apps. You should try to disable it...you can always re-enable it.

Thank you. So if I hard reset my Fuze without the bloatware, do I have the hidden proxy enabled?
Also how do i disable it? What cabs should i activate in the windows folder?
Don't know what it will default to but the cab itself should be located in your Windows Directory and is called removehiddenproxy and another is called restoreproxy.
Thanks, bugsykoosh

Ok so I get the fact that if you soft reset when it installs all of the bloatware then it will cancel the install. However, I have done search but the answer was not very clear. When I stop the bloatware from being installed, does that mean I going to have to cinfigure all of the mms settings and internet settings? If so then when were would I find those settings for the at&t tilt? Also, will the cellular video cab for the 8525 work on the tilt or does someone need to make a new version? Any answers on this stuff would be greatly appreciated and like i said earlier, the search did not really give me a definite answer.
did the search not give you a deffinate answer or just not the one your looking for? You can find the MMS and WAP setting by search for Cingular MMS settings on google and this forum and also the cingular video will work with MediaNet as your ISP settings.
It still has proper internet settings. Haven't check the MMS though...
or you can always boot it up normally with all the bloatware, copy all the settings, and then hard reset and do the anti-bloatware boot.
I read that the att.cab file is the settings cab which you can install separately after un-hiding the install cabs on the tilt...? can anyone verify this?
The soft reset upon initial configuration on the tilt should leave the media net (3g) settings in tact...i dont know about the MMS yet but text messages, internet and push email with my exchange server work fine right now.
If any of those settings need manual configuration, all those settings can be found here.
One thing I noticed is the connection profile MEdia Net does not have the proxy settings out the box. The support page will have you input those settings. I find it's not necessary with the auto proxy detect in place. Also using MEdia Net with proxy settings may not allow CV to work.

MMS works fine. The only thing you may want to do is download the enable and disable proxy cabs. Check out this thread on HoFo: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257055
Well I have the MMS client in my build....
And if I load the T-Mobile GPRS/MMS setting CAB, it works.
However, I can't manage to MANUALLY configure it.
Every time I try to do a "send/receive" after setting it up I get an instant error, which implies that whatever the client is looking for in the connections, its not finding it.
Anyone manage to get this to work with manual configuration? I don't want to use the T-Mo CAB because it "hides" the connection profiles, which sucks bananas, and it also breaks connections when plugged into ActiveSync.
so my phone has been fine ive used romeos and im now using proven
data was never an issue then today im having connection problems
i usually use the my isp connection but now when i try to connect i get the error saying it cant connect for an unknown reason
i switched to media net i can call i can text and i can send pic msgs weather in TF3d works IE works and opera works google maps works and even beejive IM works
but if i try to check email it says "cant connect with current settings" skyfire wont work and kinoma freeplay wont work
wifi works for everything
what could the problem be?!
i think i know why because i have a special employee plan that just got changed and somehow the settings may be altered?
still need a fix though
no one has an idea??
i have set media net default settings and even downloaded the restore and remove proxy cabs tried both and still no
someone anyone?
go to setting-connections, then under media net click on manage exisiting connections
now click on the proxy tab on the bottom, make sure the second box (this network uses a proxy server) is unchecked...
I had the same problem when I switched to Proven
Go to e-mail account options(Menu>Tools>Options)>Choose an account>Edit account setup>Go to that page where Advanced Server Settings tab(click on it)> Under network connection choose MEdia Net. That should fix your problem. Do the same for each of yours e-mail accounts.

the unchecking proxy made it work even though i had tried the cabs for disabling and enabling
i work at BBY i had been using the My ISP
but they just changed our plan to a cheaper one thats much better and i guess they disabled ISP from use

The only option I have is 'internet' (so I can't change it to Media Net. When I check my connection media net is the only connection I have though. Any ideas how to get that changed in my ActiveSync/Email settings?
use this cab..it adds a new connection named ATT GPRS which has a different dns..i have been using this since i found it and have never gone back because by utilizing these dns servers you get much better speedtest results and it seems to never have any connection problems..thing is you gootta use a tool like advanced config and go into connection settings in the program and disable medianet from being used as a connection because if both are active your device randomly chooses which to connect with so you gotta make sure medianet is no longer active..here is the cab

i guess next time it hsppens make sure the feature is the correct one on your account. call your regional account executive to check it out.
it happens from time to time because when medianet is on for quite sometime, it can't authenticate the phone. Easy fix is just to just disconnect from medianet then try it again. You can do this by sliding to settings and clicking on "communications." After that, just turn off data connection and reconnect.
Please tell me that I overlooked some obvious settings...
I have a home wireless network I use for my laptops. I configured the same network on my Fuze. It says connected, IP looks ok, I set DNS to OpenDNS, but I still cannot use IE, Opera, Skype or any other Internet application.
Now, Fuze is my first WM phone and I am not familiar with all the settings. Did I miss something?
Try disabling the proxy.
Start File explorer and go to Windows
Click on "Disable Proxy"
Then try it.
to turn proxy back on
click on "Restore Proxy"
(With the proxy off, you cannot use the AT&T links and apps)
I have not found these files. I use EnergyROM.
Nevermind, I just updated router firmware and the problem is gone.
I cant browse the internet on my phone if I set it up on 3G connection.I can download emails, connect to MSN Messenger just fine but I cant access any websites it just times out. Why is that? If I connect to a wireless access point I can browse to internet but Im not always around an access point and want to get it working via 3G connection. Do I have to make some sort of configuration on my phone or something?
You probably need to change your proxy settings. Either add or remove the hidden ATT proxy.
Ohh, how do you do that?
Ok I think I found it, I went into Settings, Connection manager and selected My Proxy, its not checked but I did select the connection type to Vodafone live which is my carrier. I also found a program that I have which was called disable proxy and it installs but I cant find the application anywhere to run it, all it said was disable proxy.cab was installed. Damn this is annoying trying to figure out the network connection settings. I cant find that "Hidden ATT Proxy" but.
If you're not on ATT, you won't have the ATT proxy. I don't have a data plan, and am clueless about connection stuff, but I've had issues using PIE over wifi with the stupid ATT proxy.
Nope Im not connected via ATT. I am connected to Vodafone Australia. Its bizare,I actually deleted my proxy thinking that was it, but I still cant browse the web. Man I want my phone to work so I can access the web. Its handy when Im at work or traveling especially now that NBA is startling lol.
Check your selected networks in advanced connection settings. Since you're on Vodaphone I don't know what they use, but I change mine to MediaNet for AT&T.
@Farmer Ted, this may be your issue with PIE over WiFi.
for me... all i had to do was go to settings>system and press "Update PRL" and then "Update Profile"
I'm with Sprint though... and that's what they did for me.
Call your provider up and ask
If none of the above works, your best move is to just flash a custom rom. Then everything will work the way it's supposed to.
