Opera Mini 4 and T-zones proxy hack

[TEE82]

I was able to install Opera Mini 4 via usb cable with my computer onto my Dash phone and O.M. is a lot better than IE in my opinion. However, once I disconnect the usb cable, O.M. no longer is able to connect. When I use the usb cable again, it still won't connect. " Failed to connect to the Internet " is the message that'll appear on my phone. The only time it will connect is when I re-install O.M. while synced with the computer via usb cable. It seems like to be a one time deal only each time.

I'm just wondering if there is some sort of proxy hack for this and has O.M. 4 worked for anyone who is using the 5.99 t-zones proxy hack.

Thanks in advance !

Ok, my first post was edited. Ignore my 2nd one which is this.

I used the proxy hack and it works like a charm. Try restarting your phone and see if the proxy hack works with Opera (which it should work for sure).

Thanks for the reply, jdoggraz.

I have tried soft rebooting severals times and O.M. still doesn't connect. That same message ( Failed to connect to the Internet ) still appears.

Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated !

I believe I had to go to menu/tools/settings and change the protocol from socket to http before it would work.

Well try to log into Internet Explorer first in order to start up "edge." Then give it a shot with Opera while it is connected to edge. Then once you get this going you can close IE up and just run Opera. This step is done in order to get edge to be "on."

Tried both of your guys' suggestions and it's still unable to connect. Will it work using the regular t-zones w/out the proxy hack?

Yes, it can work. I'm assuming your still using WM 6.0?

1. The problem is the java manager that ships with the Dash doesn't allow installed programs to use the proxy. You need to install a new java manager called jbed. Read this link for instructions on how to do it: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv6800/91837-opera-mini-4-beta-2-released-includes-info-new-java-midlet-manager.html

2. A 2nd (possible) option is to lose the proxy all together. T-Mobile has a new access point that doesn't require a proxy setting to access the internet, even on the $5.99 plan.
Go into your Data connection and use these settings:
Connects to: The Internet
Access Point: epc.t-mobile.com
Leave the rest blank and it should work. I've been using this for almost two weeks without problem.

Still no success. Just curious though, what are your exact proxy settings?

Thanks for the link but the jbed file was invalid. I did a hard reboot and had my default settings for t-zones but still no luck. Now I want O.M. more than ever !

Did you try the new Access Point? The default AP is wap.voicestream.com. Change that to epc.t-mobile.com and see if that works.

Yeah and it still won't connect to the internet. I also did a soft reboot prior and attempted w/the new AP again but still the same result so now I had changed it back to it's default AP. Oh, and to answer your previous question, I have wm 6.


Here are my exact settings:

Description: T-Zones Proxy
Connects from: Wap Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy (name : port): 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
User name: <blank>
Password: <blank>

Connects to: WAP Network
Access point: wap.voicestream.com
User name: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
IP address: <blank>

Internet Explorer: "Automatically detect settings" is unchecked.
Select Network: The Internet

Now I'm just wondering if any of those settings have to be tweaked for O.M. to work. Thanks again y'all for all the help.

Those settings are not the problem, the java manager is. If you want to use OM over the proxy you need the esmertec jbed manager. I did a search and found a couple threads that still have different versions of it.

You could also upgrade your OS to WM6.1. Both Kavana and Rickwyatt's Roms have it preinstalled.

Just make sure you're ready to do a hard reset if things don't go well!

Thanks Aaron, my O.M. finally is able to connect to the internet now ! For some reason, I clicked on the 2nd link first and was able to install the cab file but there was some sort of error opening it up. The first link (Cloudyfa EsmertecJbed cab file), however, worked great and I was stoked to see O.M. up and functioning now :D.

I tried googling for answers but found none. This site is really awesome with some really cool and helpful folks and info. Thanks again y'all and Aaron, you the MAN !
