Hey all,
I'm currently in the US for a while and i'm using a Cingular line with MEdia Net. I'm not really sure about the difference between this and the Data Connect plan, but this was cheaper. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could give me the Settings for Cingular, their customer service staff at the stores and on the phone seem to give up right after you tell them you're not using a phone you purchased from them.
Settings for GPRS, 3G (APN, User, Password, Proxy etc) would be greatly greatly appreciated!
Might help if you actually looked at the forum before posting.
Check this thread for Cingular settings

Do a search on the Forum for Cingular setings, if your questions aren't answered there.
I apologize for the lack of research before i posted my question. My excuse? I am posting using a roaming GPRS sim and the the charges are exorbitant. Managed to find a resonably priced internet connection now, but thanks to all the help!!!
Sorry once again!

Yes. See the FAQ entry on Howard Forums - I wrote a piece on how to fix this. I am running the Imate ROM.

Can you point a link to the download that you mention in the FAQ.
I have the updated ROM but unable to get the GPRS working for T-Mobile USA. Many thanks in advance.
alright i got my GPRS back up and running.
i just added a new connection, called it T-MOBLE GPRS and set the access point to internet2.voicestream.com.
most people on this forum mention how this particular ROM seems to run faster, but i havent really noticed any performance increases yet
Possible help GPRS, etc
This might be of benefit to some with the GPRS trouble after update.
1. I did the Imate ROM update and had lots of trouble with GPRS MMS etc..
2. Didn't know how to fix so - I started over...
3. I installed the Qtek ROM and had the same connection issues.
4. Called T-Mobile - got a 3rd level tec and he suggested something I had not heard before. Now keep in mind that I had reset several times hard and soft. He had me go inot Comm and hit the phone icon - and turn it off and on. I am not sure exactly why - but it worked! His explanation was that since I was going back and forth between work and home that the phone (which is supposed to switch automatically didn't and) got locked somehow. I am pretty new to all of this but already did 3 ROM updates - so learning a lot.
5. Now all my connections work the way they are suppose to. Only ONE connection and that is wap.voicestream.com as it should be. My WiFi connection is blazingly fast! I am a happy camper - but I went around and around with this for about 2 days before getting a tec that gave me this advice.
Perhpas someone can tell me which is newer (better) the Qtek or the Imate ROM??
Thanks,
Shep
ok i have searched all over howard forums and here about the GPRS settings for T-Mobile USA.
in one particualr post it mentions you have to set the appropriate access point for your type of internet service. Personally, i have the T-Mobile total internet for $29.99.
I have applied both of these setting as my access point
internet2.voicestream.com and wap.voicestream.com
both of these settings allowed me to connect to the GPRS network, so i guess my question is which setting should i be using????
T-Mobile is shipping all these devices with wap.voicestream.com, and has opened the ports for people on the "real" internet service using it.
If you use "internet2", you will have problems with MMS, since you can't send MMS through that AP. There are workarounds for this but they are messy. My recommendation is that you use wap.
Hi,
Not been on the forums for a while so here goes - seems like this question should already have been asked but I couldn't find anything so apologies if it has and I missed it.
I use my WIzard in the UK but I'm going to the USA later this month. Do I have to manually switch the band on the wizard? I'm pretty sure i don't (and cannot find any option to do so in the settings) but I just wanted to make sure.
thanks for any help

no, you don't do anything. you just put the manual network search, it's better this way, while you are in roaming
Hey, I bought the Dopod 900 in Taiwan. Love the phone. Now I have a plan with Cingular and I want to be able to access the net using their "lines". of course I can access via the wireless network in my house, but I want to access while on the move, etc.
Problem is, I CAN'T!!! The settings are all wrong, etc. Cingular basically told me I'm SOL, good luck, piss off. When I TRY and contact 02, I get literally NO response back from them. So I turn to you as my last hope.
If you guys have any links I might follow, or be in the same situation OR hopefully, have a simple answer, I would LOVE to know it.
Thank you Very much,
ehb
i got a o2 trion and but never configure it to use internet on t-mobile i call t-moble they dont know how either i dont know they lies or not but anyone out there know hwo to configure it for use with t-mobile??
I don't know if you will find the answer here, but this is the site I go to with any kind of connection problem:
http://www.filesaveas.com/windowsmobileconnect.html
They have info on wifi connection, gprs connection and wap connection.
This may help, or o2 have:

good luck
In addition to the "How tos" in the above links see here:
http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm21625.htm
It is of course nonsense that t-mobile do not know the settings - only they give minimal or non-existant help for phones not sold thru them.

Anyone know them? T-mobile don't seem to! I would like to give the web n' walk ago as all other UK networks' data charges seem very high.
Much appricated. Thanks George

maybe hits about it if you search the networking forum
for "tmobile AND gprs"
this may be a silly question, but from the wording of your post i have to ask, you are on tmobile already, aren't you?
The sim is t-mobile but the phone was an upgrade from Orange and have the orange settings. I have managed to sort it out now thank you very much.
