[Malik05]

Hey all...so im using a little loop whole to use free tmobile internet via proxy settings...now i got the internet to work, but only IE works! i cant get online with any other program such has AIM, myweather app, or anything else, only IE goes online...anyone have this issue? or how to fix it? its driving me crazy!

[Rudegar]

could be they are blocking the ports used for such services

[Malik05]

i dunno?...Live search is the other only program tht works online too...

[Rudegar]

i believe that it use port80 like browsers too

It uses port 8080, Using IM+ and setting the AIM port to 110 will allow you to connect, but remember it's only a few ports that are open and other programs might not have a setting to change ports for it to work with the Tzones proxy.

You can't (as yet) use 1 connection setting on the T-Mobile network using the T-Zones proxy workaround. I have been (tediously) using 2 connections.

(for internet)
T-Zones proxy
wap.voicestream.com
216.155.165.50:8080

(for mail)
T-Mobile Data
wap.voicestream.com
**no proxy settings**

I've been searching for a way to set up one connection to use which would automatically bypass and use a second connection if connectivity couldn't be established. No one seems to have an answer for this, but i'd love it if someone could figure it out!

I aked the same question and still waiting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340945
This happened after I flashed the latest TMO ROM, prior to that I had one connection for all my internet apps. Now my weather,and email don't need a proxy but PIE and Live search do what has changed?
