WM6 proxy setting, quick help.

[haroonie]

Hello.

I'm using faria's latest WM6 ROM, but can't find where to enter proxy server / proxy settings in accordance to t-mobile's guide. WM6 doesnt have the place where to enter proxy numbers as specified. After a little digging i heard you might need to change the settings in the registry for wm6.

Can anyone please advise?

Thanks!

12. Tap Edit my proxy server under T-Mobile GPRS.
13. Tap to check This network connects to the Internet.
14. Tap to check This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet.
15. Enter 216.155.165.050 in the Proxy server field.
16. Tap Advanced.
17. Tap HTTP.
18. Enter 8080 in the Port field.

I was able to configure mine just fine today, but I'll admit it took me a few tries in the past before I figured it out.

Go to Start --> Settings --> Connections tab --> Connections.

Since you're not using the standard T-Mobile ROM, just adapt the steps a bit to match up with what is on the WM6 ROM. Where it says T-Mobile GRPS in the instructions, actually use the My Work Network section on the device. You can also rename My Work Section to T-Mobile GRPS if you want.

Under that section, you should see:
Add a new modem connection
Add a new VPN server connection
Edit my proxy server

Other than the My Work Network/T-Mobile GPRS thing, the steps were exactly the same.

Oh yeah, instead of 216.165.155.050 enter 216.165.155.50.

I did that and I was able to get an Edge connection and send/receive MMS messages from my Verizon phone.

Hi.

When I goto Settings > Connection; "My Work" is no longer listed as a connection, only My Home.

How can i get back / add "My Work" ?

THanks.

Hmmm... I'm not sure. I have My ISP and My Work Network and I've always had that with the WM6 ROM's.

I know this is kind of buggy... I had the same issue.

If you add a new connection, call it My Work or something, and choose GPRS 3G for the type, and finish, it will put 2 connections, which will allow you to change between My Work Network again, etc. No registry hack needed, it's there, it's just not showing. By adding a 2nd connection, it will show your "My Work Network" again. Keep in mind, if you had MMS messaging, but no 'net until now, once the 'net works, you will have to change your MMS setting to "My Work Network" as well.

Now 'net and MMS works on my phone (Cingular 8525) on Tmobile, using only T-Zones and WM6 :) Thx for the help!
