Guest nicksmee Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hi I have taken delivery of a Vodafone branded X1 and am using my t-mobile SIM in it. Normal browsing etc all working splendidly. One issue I am having is that I cannot use MSN. It came installed on the device but will not recognise that I have a data connection (Wi-Fi or T-Mobile 3g). I am guessing that it is someway tied to only using a Vodafone connection but thats just a guess and probably not very well informed. Anyone have any ideas? I have ensured that the phone is set to use the T-Mobile APN when it wants to connect to the Web. Help please? Ta Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta Nick I've got the same issue, it seems all the default windows apps (mail, messenger, live and ie) all try and use the vodafone connections.

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 In Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections, on your main connection, see if the proxy setting is ticked - if so, untick it. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nicksmee Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hi Paul Thanks for the reply. I have looked at that and the Proxy was not ticked. Strange...

Guest hutchy2570 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I've tried unlocking the Vodafone connection settings (registry entry needed changing to 0 for readonly) and changed them to the tmobile settings. It looks like messenger (and the email app too) just flat out to refuse to connect to anything other than the vodafone connection with the default vodafone settings.

Guest nicksmee Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Did the registry change work?

Guest hutchy2570 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 The registry change unlocked the connections so they could be modified, but windows live now doesn't even try and connect. You need to edit the registry HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations\WEB and My ISP \Read Only set to 0. Then go into settings\connections\connections\my ISP and add your settings. You will also need to go into advanced\select networks and change it to WEB and edit and do the same. Don't forget to remove the vodafone proxy information from the proxy tab. That was the information I used from the XDA-developers forum to change the MyISP and WEB connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacerace Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I've tried 2 different registry editors and both come back with Access Denied when I try changing the values Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spacerace Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 as it turned out i didn't need to apply these registry changes, you can create a new connection and make it the default without needing to edit the predefined vodafone ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
