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

hi all,
i have just bought a new O2 Exec.. I was wondering what software/tweaks you guys recommend.
Regards,
frz
i also just have my dopod 900, similar to o2 exec and i still dont know what to install. I saw something about AKU2 or AKU3 on the forum but dont know where to download, can someone please advice/help us as my device was sometimes cannot received data signal while connecting to internet.
I just download TCPMP player to the device and it was a great staff to play with and I will not use the WMP for movie/tv.
Guys, I've just bought myself a new suit.
Would you like to come over and try it on for me?
Come on - a little work on your side will be necessary, and searching is the best way to show that you've tried.
Have a read through this thread for guidelines on using the board:

And then have a look here for a starter:

AKU stuff - get started slowly before you start modifying the OS too much, as a lot of the stuff on the board can make your system unstable if used incorrectly. Configure your basics, get yourself some good backup software, and then check out the wiki and the ftp.
Most of the newer roms will have some AKU support already in, I think.

Danlee....
Just out of curiosity....how much is internet connectivity in M'sia?
I'm planning on coming home during the CNY and would like to use the service if it's not too expensive.
Would you mind posting the cost of the internet connection and who the provider is?
Will it be available prepaid?
Thanks.

To vijay555,
Thanks a lot but i cant do downdoading now cause i am on GPRS connection now. But i will visit your site when i got back home.
To Moden man,
The cost for GPRS connection will be 1 cent for 1kb. You can only use 3G in KL area. You can access by using DiGi, Celcom and Maxis as your service provider.
i have unlocked my tmobile mda with something called lokiwiz . and i plan on using it under cingular.
i see a lot of people on here talking about ROMs what are those?

One good tip: Don't play with stuff you know nothing about (I mean Roms), it could brick your device!!
Unlocking the phone will do 2 things;
1 - let you use it on any GSM network but you will need to add the data plan to access GPRS or Edge (the WAN).
2 - Allow you to flash different low level programs onto the device. Think of it this way, on your phone now you can set up an email service on Tmobile but when you move to Cingular that Tmobile program will still be there but useless. Now you can flash a new Rom which has some Cingular specific programs but you have to be careful because if you mess it up, you MDA becomes as they say a brick.
This is a great forum for learning about these things, try some of the simple things like Today screens or phone dialer screens. After a little you take the plunge like this newbie and flash a new rom, overclock it and generally just make it more useable than it is now.
okay i went to the cingular store and showed the guy the phone and he said it can work for regular phone calls and texting, but it wont be able to use the web and AIM, etc.
so when you guys say i have to add the data plan do you mean i gotta install somethin seperate to the phone? or do i gotta add the plan through cingular.
because the guy says i cant use the internet with it, so thats why i ask if i need to downloard somethin separate to the phone
You would expect that the guy behind the counter would know but he's probably clueless about what your asking him.
Cingular's network is GSM just like Tmobile. The data service is called either GPRS, Edge or the next generation 3G & you need to configure the phone to access that. I don't know the access point name for cingular but you should be able to find it some where in this forum, on Tmobile it's wap.voicestream.com. It's analogous to logging onto your wired ISP, you may or may not need a password. Once configured the phone will log you on and then you'll be able to access the net or email etc.
Worse case is you can flash a Cingular specific rom.
wait so how do you configure the phone for edge?
because when i went 2 settings then connections, it had GPRS Setting
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!
I'm sorry that I've to ask this but I need help for Cingular's 3G connection. I'm using the exact settings for the MEdia Net for 8525, I'm using a 3G sim card, I've MEdia Net unlimited on Pick Your Plan. Actually I live near, and not in, Chicago. About a month back when I went there I could get 3G speeds even on a 64k sim, two days back when I went there again I kept getting Edge speeds. I even tried a Cingular store for help but seeing a TyTn they just said no to a request for help, though it is beyond me that they being a service provider are so worried about the devices. Shouldn't they be responsible for the service that they provide no matter what device I use with it, not like I walked in there and asked them to fix the TyTn's screen for me. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
might want to call up cingulars customer service and ask to speak to the data guys. just tell them it's an 8525, now i'm just assuming they are pretty similar. tell them what's happening and see if they can help out.
hey guys i have a just my brothers t-mobile mda and i need it to access cingulars media net.....i have the phone unlocked and i matched the connection settings with my 8125 and for some reason i still cant access media net or send mms.....is there a reg tweak i need to do?? or am i doing something wrong?? i need some help on this one.
I take it you're using a cingular sim-card? No disrespect, just wondering, cuz if not I'm pretty sure you wont be able to access anything cingular specific
Also a piece of advice, try setting a topic that reflects the contents of the post. T-mobile mda "help" doesn't really qualify. That way you'll get a lot more replies in the future...
