Shadow II wifi problems - General Questions and Answers

Hi all, I am a noob and have some questions about the new Shadow II I got last week from T-mobile.
I was at a hotel and was able to get onto the internet using its free wifi through my laptop. I tried to connect to the internet through the hotel's wifi using the Shadow II, but it kept saying I am not subscribed to web2go. I checked the wifi and it said wifi is available and connected. I was told by T-mobile salesman that the Shadow II will access the internet if it can access wifi, even without the data plan subscription. I was able to access gmail, but unable to get onto the net. Even then, one of the email the Shadow II said was too big to access.
Is there any settings I need to do to access the internet through the Sahow II? Any help and suggestion would be appreciated. TIA!
Cool

at&t rom 1.62.502.0 internet problame!!!

hi all
im new here many thanks for that amazing group here.
i have yesterday upgraded my rom of my at&t tilt (kaiser tytn ii) to the new version, well all looks ok BUT...
since then i cant get internet connection and mms messages.
i have checked it the whole day today with my network company (im in israel) and we have reconfigured the modem connections but nothing its dead.
before i have done the upgrade all was just ok since yesterday its no connection.
i have checked arround and i found that there are many users that have the same problame all around the world.
since any mms message goes thru internet (etc. gprs,edge,hsdpa) i assume that the problame is with the internet connection and that blocks the mms messages.
my cell company told me that as she sees all is ok and i remember my settings too.
also even when i connect my tilt with usb to my computer i cant go on the web bacause it says "no connection".
i assume that they have planted in the registery any value that blocks any internet connection (as gprs etc.) if its not thru the own supllier, i can understand also why but the fact is that i get hspda connection and i see the icon of "connected" but somthing blocks it !!!!!
is there a way how we can digg in and remove that block that dosent allow the internert?????
is there a way to bypass it ????
or maybe i should go back to my old ROM is that possible????
again i remind u that:
1) all worked excellent till yesterday
2) the HSDPA establishes a connection but the explorer is dead.
3) i cant even connect thru my pc with usb while my pc is fully connected via dsl to the internet.
4) all setting are same and at once its "no connection"?
5) i see that meny users have that problame
if there is any way let me know
also how bad and ugly will it be if i go back to my old ROM and how do i do it.
many thanks

Where did you download the rom from???
I know the one at HTC America is intended & configured for AT&T customer in North America. If a ROM was not released on your local AT&T or HTC site, that may contribute to your issues.
You may want to DL the network configuration wizard & give it a go at reconfiguring your device.
some good news
hi all
many thanks for visniak you were right.
it was some hidden silly proxy that i needed to kick out.
now the internet works great BUT i cant send MMs messages.
the configuratins are all ok (i checked it today with my network company)
they say that thats a ROM problame (means that this might be a problame because i upgraded it to ROM 1.62)
is that right???
is there a solution???
many thanks
it's like BEZEQ and BEZEQINT
each blaming the other.............
I don't use MMS.
But most likely your settings are incorrect.
Does the new AT&T ROM solve the Low Volume when using Bluetooth?
That is the only iserious issue I have with the Tilt.
I have been a Symbian user forever and the AT&T Tilt(Unlocked and using it on another service provider in India) is my first exposure to Windows mobile. I upgraded to the new AT&T Rom(1.62.502.0) and the low bluetooth volume issue is sorted out...I'm using the SE 970 stereo BT headset, which is working fine.(ADVANCE that should solve ur query)
My only issue now is that i am unable to use the Internet Explorer thru GPRS. Strangely i could configure and download my E mails thru Outlook. Also, when I Sync the Tilt with my PC, IE works fine using the net connection from the PC. Any insight/clues why I'm facing this issue?

[Q] Three UK on XDA Orbit 2

I have an XDA Orbit 2 on a Three Uk SIM. I set up the data connection by simply putting three.co.uk in the APN field in connection settings. It connects fine and I can use it to tether my PC.
I noticed though that if I visit an adult site, or any deemed by Three to contain adult content, I end up on a page telling me I need to verify that I'm the bill payer and then I'll be granted access.
What is strange about that is, if I use the same SIM card in a Three Uk Skypephone and tether, I get no such warnings.
I can't figure this out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also, while I'm at it. The Orbit won't stay connected for long, it keeps disconnecting. This s not a signal issue, the Skype phone will stay connected all day long.
Only difference I can see is that the Skype phone sets up a dialup connection to gain net access and the Orbit registers as a network adapter (RNDIS) device.
I thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
***edit***
I see 38 people have read this, but no reply. I understand that I may have to wait a while for somebody to have the answer. I'm just wondering if there would be a better location somewhere else on this site for this post.

[q] gprs cypriot internet problem

Dear all,
I am on vacation in Cyprus and uppon arriving I have bought a Primetel SIM card as it has free 100mb of traffic.
Primetel uses Cytavodafone netwprk and has the same internet con figuration. I am using Touch pro with stock ROM, and no modification (well I think it has the hspl as I have not reverted it), but it is using the stock FR 6.1 ROM.
The APN settings say that I should only use "internet" in the name, and that the username and password should be empty.
I have configuered a new modem connection with that specification, and I have set it to connect using it when internet is required.
It does connect to the internet, I can see the small G on the network signal bar, but I have no internet. I can not update weather, browse on internet or downlpad quickgps data.
I am using another sim card from the same provider with HD2 running android and it works perfectly.
Please if anyone could help me how make it work on WM 6.1 I would be very greatful.
Thank you all in advance.
Comle on people, please help me configure mobile internet on this device. I have done everything by the book and even though I am connected I have no internet. Is there some option I need to turn on oor off in order to make it work.
Thank you all for help.

[Q] 3G for specific program while on Wifi without net access

Hello,
I have done a bit of a search about this but havent found an answer.
At work we have a network with wifi which is behind an authenticated proxy which the admins wont allow cell connection to. I have tried with various proxy apps but no luck. I need the wifi network to sync with the email server, which does work, however while on wifi I cant use the internet or receive txts from WhatsApp etc.
Basically I am just wanting to know if there is a way or an app, to enable 3G for a specific application while on Wifi, or to somehow enable both on request.
The dataplan I have at work is very restrictive, only 100 txt a month and 512mb Data a month on 3G. I therefore rely on WhatsApp to stay under this limit, but dont want my email app to sync to the server and download large emails while on 3G, only while on Wifi. And I need WhatsApp to use 3G as it cant get out via Wifi.
If anyone has suggestions or knows of something to get around this, I would really apprecitate it.
I am on a Galaxy S2 with Root.
Thanks
try droidwall- android firewall
Same issue
I have the same issue, only opposite, I use my phone at work to connect to a machine specific wifi router and vnc into the controls to control the machine. While I am on this connection without internet my 4g turns off and I get no data. Is there a way to force the 4g on while i am on a wifi without internet access so i can still access my email, pandora, etc?
I tried droidwall, but all that does is block the specific app from accessing the wifi connection, it still wont use the 4g connection while there is a wifi network connected, whether there is internet or not.
Oh yes, I am on a rooted Skyrocket on SKY ICS RC7.4 Speed (Great ROM BTW).
I'm guessing by the lack of response, nobody knows of a way to do what we are wanting, but I want to try refreshing this the once just to see if maybe the person who has the solution just missed the first time.
I did reflash my rom to SKy ICS 4.2A-8 if that helps. Im willing to use different roms, mods, hacks, whatever it takes to make this work.

[Q] Never managed to access the Internet

Hi I have had my Samsung GT-S5830i for a few months now but have never managed to access the internet other then through Wi-Fi at home. Furthermore I have never been able to connect to any free Wi-Fi away from home say in a pub. Is there something in settings that is preventing this?
I am with Giff Gaff that uses the 02 network.
Any help would be appreciated.
