anybody have a hack to kill the EDGE service on a qtek9100/htc wizard - forcing it to use the standard GPRS service?

I downloaded the T-Mobile (NL) application for PPC2002 ("T-Mobile GPRS Connect") which should take care of the GPRS connections, but it does not work. It keeps complaining about not able to open the modem connection (I'm using the Cellular Line modem): "Can not find the name of the serial port".
Anybody any ideas?
It is a nice utility which displays the speed, send/received bytes and connection time, but useless sofar...

hey marco,
i bought a t-mobile pocket pc in the US and unlocked it. With my vodafone sim i now can do everythinh with the device. So I know how to make a GPRS connection to Vodafone, but don't know the settings for t-mobile.
A few days ago I also tried to install t-mobile app. but it sucks. I suggest you try to find out the correct settings with t-mobile nl to make a descent GPRS setting and not use the t-mobile application

I have a tmobile MDA that is unlocked and working great. My work just issued us cellphones attached to a CINGULAR plan. I put the sim into my MDA and everything seems to work right.
The only thing that does not work right is DUN (Dial-Up Networking) ... with the t-mobile sim in there (also unlocked) I am able to dial up to my ISP and obtain a (albeit slow) connection that I can use for the rare time that I want to get on the internet and check something. When I use the same connection with the cingular sim installed, it says that there is no modem at the number.
Any ideas? Should I also unlock the cingular sim? Should I use a cingular rom on my phone? Does cingular block DUN connections? I really would like to cancel my personal t-mobile and go with completely free cellphone service, as I tend to enjoy things that are free.
You just need to configure your internet settings to Cingular settings. If you go to Cingular.com and look under support>device/phone support & choose the 8125 as your phone. Then click on internet/browser settings. Follow the onscreen instructions and you will be able to connect to Cingular's EDGE/GPRS with your MDA.
Don't modify your current settings if you plan on still using your T-Mobile SIM. Just start a new connection with all of Cingular's stuff. That way when you're using the T-Mobile card just switch the connection to T-Mobile's settings and when you're using the Cingular SIM switch over to Cingular's settings. 8)
Not exactly what i was asking
I was referring to Dial-Up Networking, not GPRS/EDGE ... I am able to dial into a DIALUP ISP and connect to it just as I am able to from a regular PC.
:roll:
This way I am able to get free (well, almost. It still uses my minutes) internet, albeit at slower than standard dialup speeds.
Is your company paying for unlimted data on the Cingular plan or just allowing you to use minutes? I've never attempted to use DUN for a 3rd party providor, but using Cingular as an ISP(GPRS/EDGE) should be better than than using someone else... I'm not sure how businesses get by without offering/using data packages these days.
yes
I dial into a service called nocharge.com.
I am in California, and the service is based in Washington, but since minutes are minutes, regardless long distance, I am able to get free (sort of) dialup internet through nocharge.com.
So this is something that no one has tried? That amazes me.
doesn't Cingular still have it's own dialup number to use?
have you tried testing it out with settings such as the ones in the link below?

i believe t-mobile disabled its csd by now so not sure if this will work but its worth a shot as a test...
man csd at a max speed of 9.6kbps would kill me i can barely pull up any websites using t-mo's EDGE
if you cant get the above link to work try searching for "cingular 8125 csd" on google...there is quite a bit of hits
I'm using the cingular 8125 on tmobile
the 8125 and MDA are the exact same device with different software (and of course exterior case). If you download the lastest cingular rom (which you should be able to find the offical one here on xda) and after syncing all your contacts etc, load the cingular rom from your desktop pc and it will guide you through flashing a new rom onto your wizard (aka 8125, MDA, etc).
You will have all the settings as if you had actually bought an 8125.

Hello, how do I know whether I am using GPRS or EDGE connection in my Hermes? I know that my service provider support both GPRS and EDGE.
Thanks!
Hey all,
As far as I understand; when you are on GPRS you can't make a call or receive because it ties up the line.
Does the same apply with EDGE? I don't think it does with 3G but my network just went EDGE over GPRS (o2) so I wondered about the 'new' technology.
Thanks for the advice
it dont apply to any of them unless thats a limit of the phone company one is connected because they have limited equipment

I always thought it did; I used to be Vodafone UK; I started on one of there GPRS phones & couldn't attempt or rec calls, I then moved up to 3G, again on Vodafone & I could run 2 sessions of them easy. It would't be to do with the 3G networks having there own network settings? for example, the 3G phone would give me the option to connect to 2G or 3G when I first turn it on or change networks.
i use GPRS it dont block anything for me
only tech which really block 100% is the old callup modem data calls
which also only operate at something like 9600Boud
GPRS Data Call
Hello, i´ve been trying to find an answer to a problem while calling through GPRS with VoIP using WM6VoIP.cab released here in xda-developers. I can make the call, it rings in the other side, but no sound for either users... There is no sound at all, like if the phone was off. On the other hand, i use the same system to call while connected to a WiFi Lan, and it works perfectly! What could be happenning to me? I use Vodafone, and i´ve also tried it with Yoigo which uses Vodafone network...
I´d really appreciate your help!

GPRS and EDGE are basically the same thing with respect to blocking voice calls.
Old GPRS implementations (can't remember which class - wikipedia is your friend) would block incoming calls - but newer implementations shouldn't. The only thing is when you have active calls, GPRS is suspended.
But I heard that the radio firmwares and equipment of the telco would make a difference.
When I had my Treo 750, I always had a GPRS connection. If there was any data activity going on, incoming calls would go to voicemail. Very irritating, especially when using Direct Push for email.
With my old Blackberry Pearl, and my new Tilt, I always have an EDGE connection, and do not have the issue.
Hope this helps...
I just got a T-Mobile MyTouch 4G (Which is an amazing phone btw) and I noticed it doesn't like to allow internet use over EDGE service. Unless I'm connected to the HSPDA/HSPDA+ network (which is still a bit spotty...) I can't use data. My old phone (Touch Pro 2) had this problem too, but only when tethering so it wasn't a big deal.
How can I get the phone to allow data connections over EDGE networks? Is there a workaround for this? I have searched but I haven't found any conclusive solution yet.
