Hi,

I have just started to use Opera Mini and Gmail Mobile which are both Java applications and use the SP5 Midlet Manager to run them.

These work fine in the Midlet Manager when ever I am using my Wi-Fi network, but when I try to use them on my O2 GPRS connection I get the message "Connecting to service, please wait..." followed by "The connection attempt has timed out. Do you wish to select another service?" and selecting any of the other connection services gives me the same error message.

Internet Explorer and Google Maps Mobile works fine on my SP5 it just seems to be a problem with the Midlet Manager not connecting.

Has anyone else had this problem on O2 UK before, or does anyone know if there's a better Java manager for the SP5?

Here are my current connection settings:

It may be that your provider, like many others, has blocked access through port 80 on the phone. port 80 is the port that your midlet manager is trying to use to get access to the network, so if it's blocked there's nothing you can do.

This used to be the case for T-mobile, for instance. Only recently did they unblock that port, immediately after which all java apps suddenly had access to the network...

Good luck,

Found the problem, it seems that the Midlet Manager doesn't follow the system proxy settings and I found a registry key that fixes the problem.

Heres the soloution for O2 UK if anyone else is intrested:
CODE
--intent Java MIDlet Manager Proxy Settings--
These settings are system wide and will apply to HTTP(S) connections made by all MIDlets.

proxy_host
--
Key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tao\intent\conf\protocol\http\scheme[http]
Value id: proxy_host
Value type: String
Value: 193.113.200.195

This registry value may be set to the IP address of the HTTP proxy host
to be used by HTTP and HTTPS requests.

proxy_host.port
--
Key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tao\intent\conf\protocol\http\scheme[http]
Value id: proxy_host.port
Value type: String
Value: 8080

This registry value data may be set to the port number to be used with
the HTTP proxy host specified above. This key is ignored if an HTTP
proxy host is not specified. The default value is "8080"

Network Type
--
Menu->Settings->Choose Network Type->Work
(for GPRS/Dial-up connections and The Internet for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connections
and rename the registry key to remove proxy)

BTW, did anyone try this proxy hack on any other model? What is the TAO Intent version of your ROM where it works? On my 10.x and 11.x versions (on my PPC's and Smartphones), it doesn't.
