Hello,
I've tried searching the forums, but couldn't find an relevant threads. I've got Pocket MSN Messenger (not the live messenger beta) on my Hermes but I can't connect to the service. Every time I try I get an error message saying that the device couldn't connect to the service.
I'm on T-mobile, with the £7.50 web'n'walk data tariff and am in an area with 3G coverage.
Does anyone know what the problem is or what I can do to sort it out?
Cheers
Paul.
Are you able to connect to the Internet through Pocket IE? If so, if you have proxy server settings set up (Start -> Settings -> COnnections [tab] -> Connections [icon] -> Set up my proxy server), try fiddling them, and re-connecting. That may work.
Connection to the internet is fine for everything (Internet Explorer, SPB Weather, push email), but I don't connect through a proxy server.
When connected to WiFi and GPRS is disables (via NoDATA) Push Mail does not work. why is that? isn't there a way to activate Push Mail in an "office only" mode, using WiFi only?
Hi,
thats not possible because WiFi is turned of when the device is in standby.

... it doesn't work even when the device is constantly on (I disabled automatic standby in Power Options).
Hi,
as long Wifi ist turned on the GPRS conn. will be disconnected.
AFAIK there is no way to change this.

Maybe some operator-software changed some properties concerning the Push Mail. So check your network settings. Can you connect to the internet when using Wifi only? When that's possible, you can try to reassign a connection with your Exchange server in activesync. Personally, my Push Mail works on the campus using Wifi and GPRS disabled. So good luck

is it working in true Push mode (schedule= "as item arrives") or in Sync mode (schedule= "Every X minutes")?
anyway, it is not operator-software related issue because my wizard runs XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a with no Extended ROM based files installed.
Check your Firewall Config!
Normal you publish your Exchange OWA Server direct in the internet. Via a Firewall ... possible your Rule Set in the Firewall doesnt allow the access this IP/Adress from Internal LAN/WIFI.
Next is ... possible you cant resolve the DNS Name in the Internal LAN.
Check it ... it isnt a Device Problem ... its a Network Problem!

actually its a mail2web account but I am building a test exchange 2003 domain and will post my findings. Thank billie for virtual server!!!
possible you have block some ports on your firewall!
i must read some whitepapers to know all ports for syncing via exchange.

Push Mail Works fine with wifi, you can set the device to not go on standby mode, when you are in office. Wifi will drain the juice outta your battery though. You dont necessarily need exchange 2003, you can use kerio mail server. I am running kerio and its quite good. No Problems as of now. It has Web Mode, WAP Web, and Exchange OWA, and POP
Test results!
Due to high work load it took me some time to build the test environment and actually test this thing.
it looks like push mail DOES work in WiFi-only mode, beautifully, but when both WiFi and GPRS are connected - mail is downloaded through the slow and expensive GPRS connection rather then through WiFi.
am I the only one dealing with this issue?
P.S. - there is no firewall between my wizard and the internet - just a router. same goes for the exchange environment.

Are you sure? i was under the impression that when you connect to WiFi it will suspend GPRS...
Do you have the correct connection for Wifi (to Work or to Internet network...)

Yes, I am sure. new mail is downloaded through GPRS even though WiFi is available. when I disable GPRS - mail is downloaded through WiFi.
do you get different results?
Friends,
I am using HTC Touch. i ve installed gprs settings for vodafon india. internet is working very well. no problem in that. but when i setup a mail like yahoo or gmail at (start>messaging> outlook mail> [email protected]) . Setting is done. i can send and receive mails through wi fi , so mail setup is ok. BUT when i send and receive through our pre installed gprs settings it is not working. Message given check the internet connectivty. while through this setting i can exlore any web site through opera or internet explorer.
Any suggestion to solve this ? u ll help me a lot. as i want to set up a scheduler for mail checking and everywhere wifi is not available. my mail id is [email protected].
Thanks.
I'd call the service provider to make sure I didn't miss any settings required I forgot to use...
or maybe.. it's the ISP's problem itself.
Ive seen this before when using exchange mail. Make sure you check in settings/connections that "programs that automatically connect to internet" are you gprs settings (vodafone) whilst programs that "automatically connect to a private network" are set as my work network.
I can connect through WiFi, but not through GPRS
I have a similar problem. I've set up a POP3 account in my Outlook, and I need to be able to connect through GPRS and retrieve mail when I am away from my office.
When I choose "The Internet" in Outlook > E-mail Setup > Advanced Server Settings > Network Connections and I enable WiFi, it connects and retrieves mails.
If I switch to "Mobile Internet", it connects to GPRS when I hit "Send/Receive", but I get the following error: "Cannot connect to the incoming mail server. Be certain that the server name is correct, then try again to send and receive mail"
Is there any way to make this work through GPRS?
I have a touch pro 2 running a 6.5 ROM and I am having issues getting activesync (Exchange) mail working over cellular connections.
I have set it up, all seems OK. I can surf web pages, though it is slow - HSDPA does not seem to come up much. I am in London on T-Mobile with a flat rate data plan (Web-n-walk).
Activesync mail does not sync over cellular. If I manually initiate a send/receive, it often does nothing, sometimes pops up a notification to say that connecting to the internet access point (general.t-mobile.co.uk) failed.
If I enable wifi (just regular wifi, not wifi activesync) and connect to my DSL connection, it all works fine - so I am 99% sure it is an cellular issue or an issue with my phone provider.
Can anyone give me any advice, T-Mobile customer support is getting me nowhere.
Anyone noticed that o2 has changed their network setup?
I'm a regular ROM flasher and when i start the connection it used to connect to "O2 UK" but now it gives you the option of "O2 postpay" & "O2 prepay".
(I choose the postpay option)
The problem I have is with my MMS server now that i have to choose postpay or prepay...
When connecting using the old connection MMS wouldn't connect to wap for anything other than MMS, but now it will connect for anything (i.e. email, weather, opera/IE, etc)
Does anyone know how to make my MMS server to only allow MMS to use it for connection? (I'll be using Mobile internet connection for other connections)
(Already using 'Data Connection' program to turn it off when not needed but what a hassle!)
