Crickey. I had expected the XDA to be easily programmed. But sadly not. Can anyone give me a walk through of how to;
* spark up a internet connection if not currently active
* perform a HTTP get on a live internet page
I want to be able to grab some XML and do some simple parsing to display real time travel information.
I'm an adept VB coder, but have only started looking into doing this in the last two days.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
Phil.

Before you go on to post "read the wiki" ,"search the thread noob" etcetc
Ive done that and i found no help for it other than some settings, which i already tried(didnt work) and ive gotten more settings from the fido csr
and ive plugged those in but still no.(tested gprs/edge by starting pocket IE)
no connection.
I've gotten the value pack for fido which includes the Instant messaging portal for msn and yahoo where i can chat and message and check email unlimited... now the only problem is i cant connect to gprs/edge to use it.
question 1. how do i get the dam settings to work?
question 2. am i able to use the messenger included in the rom? or do i need to use the one specifically for fido?
question 3. once the previous 2 are answered..... Am I able to make it where only the associated program uses gprs/edge for data..so that way if i use pocket ie on wifi i can still use watever im using with gprs?
ie: surf the net on wifi, while im chatting msn on gprs?
thats all i got for now,
I'm using a softbank x01ht with black majik rom.
Thanks for any help i receive.
When I first got a windows phone I was so determined to get it set for Fido's services. With my Universal it took me days to figure out what the settings were. I thought I knew everything after that. Turns out that there are a bunch of other factors such as MMS won't work until you've exchanged msg's with another FIDO customer. Also internet doesnt work without a proper plan first, it doesnt work like it used to , which was PAYG. Lastly the settings don't kick in until you reset the phone, and even then I have heard stories from some where it took upto half hour for some settings to kick in. I find it so complicated now that I seem to know where all the free wi-fi hotspots are around my area.
I hope this doesn't discourage you from figuring out ur settings through trial&error.
I encounter none of what you said. I dont use MMS so I am not familiar with ..all others is no big deal.
It takes me 30 seconds for set up and I am ready to go.
ps: I am on a unlimited for years.....
Well I guess it mustve been different with the Universal and your Hermes.
thanks for the feedback still havent figured it out as of yet though i do know theres supposed to be a dial out to *90# or something like that cant check the txt i received from fido right now.
anyways i hope to get it up soon, im gonna try to port over the IM program thats in my friends rogers tytn and see if i can change the settings on that thing for fido.
wish me luck
They toys bahave different

You bet money on it. I have an 8125 and also an 8525, both have exactly the same UI to set the connections up, however with exactly the same settings I´m able to surf the WEB, get GMail, all MSN Live services,etc only with my Wizard because with the Hermes I´m able to open just a very few wap sites. I´ve had this problem since day one with my Hermes and looking for a solution in this site and in many others I´ve found that I´m not the only lucky person with a $400 toy that performs worst than the cheapest Nokia, there´s a lot of people with same problem and nobody knows why this happens. (See my signature)
For those who've got it working, could you please share HOW? It would be much appreciated.
Anyone notice the massive difference in response time over HSDPA when compared to WiFi.
HSDPA is fast enough but the latency is terrible and this has a knock on effect for RDP connections from the Device.
It litterally takes roughly 2 seconds for an action to register i.e. clicking on something over a HSDPA/UMTS 3G link whereas wifi is pretty instantainous (if that's a word LOL)
Admittedly this applies to all HSDPA equiped WM devices.
Has anyone got any suggestions for speeding it up?
Am aware of logmein (free) - used to use it years ago with my blueangel and am also aware of GotoMYPC which I will never use because you have to pay for it.
Am really looking to findout away to improve the default RDP.
Also I have read Menneysis' thorough rundown on available Remote desktop clients for WM - anyone know of any new developments in this field?
Hi, all I can say is that I just tested RealVNC(encrypted) over HSDPA to one of my servers to determine the delay you were talking about - since I did not notice it, and I use VNC pretty much.
The delay, measured from pressing enter on "calc" in "run" window, will the calc shows up is less than a half second, surprisingly fast, the buttons on the calculator are very responsive as well. - same goes for menus.
I did NOT see any action that is instant on the console, taking as much as 1 second.
M$ RDP is bloated and a hogs bandwidth, but I cannot imagine that should be the reason - I would suspect your operator's network - maybe they send data first to CIA, then KGB, then EU , for logging & censorship ?
You should try a traceroute or pathping.

Can you check your connection speeds? it works OK for me (vodafone, city city centre)
Hi Alcapone,
I downloaded the RealVNC and can confirm that it appears to be a little more responsive than RDP. But I found I didn't really like the VNC interface - however it's likely that I will be using it again to manage one of my clients servers that has RDP deliberately disabled. Regarding your other comments - I wonder about that sometimes too... I will find those cabs and run some tests.
@Devis hmmm - LOL - You never know!
Hi Tomo - I am also on vodafone and deliberately chose them based on HSDPA connection reliability in the City (london)
What strikes me as odd is the fact that when I tether the phone to my laptop and VPN into the networks I manage over HSDPA everything flies - as in I don't experience this issue... only happens when using the WM RDP client

I live in Norway, our weak, pathetic politicians kiss EU's a*s, so we may be heading towards some privacy/free speech killing rules as the rest of Europe.
In the mean time, latest news is that the RIAA, MPAA, IFPI in other words the "extortion & threat business" did get denied from monitoring/tracking Norwegian torrent IP's - and ask for the name of the people behind. - So with this stop to a private police-wannabees, we may still believe in privacy & freedom.
Hi everyone!
I wanted to know how to configure my HTC S620 Phone with WM 6.5 to use the $9.99 data plan and NOT the Smart Phone Data Plan.
I wont use it to surf the internet, ONLY FOR EMAILS. I feel like I will be paying way too much for the Smart phone data plan.
Can any one confirm that the $9.99 plan works? If so what configurations did you do?
Thanks for reading and hope to find answers!
I would also like to know the answer to this question, as before I switched to a Dash, I had the web service that is listed as T-mobileWeb service. With the 6.5 WM 3vo rom, I have no problem loading the internet. But when I switch to Kavana's rom, I can send and receive text and calls, but have problems with accessing the internet, and it refuses to load. Am I doing something, or are these two roms actually set up to recieve data differently?
Also on a side note, I would prefer to use Kavana's so if anyone can shed some light on what settings I need to change so that my internet begins to function again, I would highly appreciate it, and I believe it would answer both of our questions.
Thanks, and sorry for posting in this manner, but I figured instead of starting a new thread, I'd just add it here while it was posted.
I thought that you had to have had the 9.99 plan......
Didn't T-Mobile get rid of new people getting onto it?
"Tzones Proxy Hack"
on another website they have instructions for it but in your profile i left you a message with the link. i've used this method for a while with no issues but its not my own thought up solution so take it for what its worth.
Hello,
I have finally got L2TP/IPSEC VPN working on my HTC Desire. My phone is rooted using unrevoked method.
Now the question I have is a simple one. I am trying to automate this so that its on all the time if there is a wifi or 3G signal present.
Inside the standard app it doesnt offer any save password features so I was going to make a script to dial and keep the connection up.
Now the problem I have is ive looked high and low for answers or hints/clues on how you go about doing this but its come up blank. I was hopping someone had a clue on how you do this?
I also have an OpenVPN setup and I can keep this up as the applcation has support for this but the issue is I get teriable performnce compared to my kernel based linux PPTP server. I do hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance,
Majestic
Hello fellows...
I'm just looking for an app to send files (something like p2p) between TWO android devices using a restricted GPRS service, I mean, no internet access....
I mean, send file to one IP to another one....
Just for send files, text, chat...or something like that....
any idea?
thanks in advance
BR,
chatfan
Can anyone help me out? any help / idea?
First of all, what you want is hard to implement.
Second thing is, why u want to invent the fire new?
I keep it short, it would be too hard to route it throug gprs. (you can read the wiki about mms to get a short overview)
so why not use a internet service?
Simplest thing would be the skype app, it is encrypted so not that unsecure.
If you want more securety, check https://guardianproject.info/apps/gibber/
and for filetransfer i would suggest wuala (groups)
or maybe you just use sftp(ftp over ssh)
cya
Let me explaining you and make it very simple.
Where I live there is not an ACTIVE Internet Service, I mean, no internet service in any of the subscribers in the UNIQUE and ONLY ONE carrier of Cell Phone in the entire country...can you get my point now?
Forget 3G, 4G and LTE, just GPRS and no service of data plan to anyone...
that is why I need this app.
thanks

than let me ask u a simpe question first.
can u send a mms?
and who far is the other device away from you? 10Km, 20km? 100km?
need little background information
ps.: or is wap working?
pps.: and how big would be the size of the data?
pps.: you've seen you IP? or do u assume that u get one?
here
Yes, I can send MMS perfectly
Very away about 50 or 60 Km, same carrier

so i checked it
there are many things wich can work but i dont think they will work.
First, you need to know your and the other persons ip.
First Problem will be they change, gprs is not static
Than you have to hope that you can connect with a build in protokoll.
There will be the second problem, you have to hope that tcp/ip works.
Without a server that handles the communication between you and the otherone its unlikely that this will work.
Thats the reason mms uses wap to get the communication to work.
Without internet access its a mess to handle that all.
[FUN ON]
there it would be simplier to use oldschool stuff like Acoustic Coupler and this
so you can get a terminal working over telephone but it would be damn slow ^^
[FUN OFF]

Yes, I am able to know the IP from another person and you are right, the IP is not static, changes in some time for a random IP..any idea how do this?
maybe you can help me out...
please help me!!
