T Mobile UK connection settings

When trying to get OnSpeed to work last night (and failing and fearing I'd bricked my MDA Pro ) I ended up doing some resetting. Anyway, long story short, I can no longer get an internet connection over GPRS (or presumably 3g). So, can anyone run through the settings on their device? I've tried what I think I was running on my old XDA

But this does not work

Hmmm, I'm on T-Mobile NL, but I have the exact same issue... Was working yesterday, but it fails now. I'm also unable to connect to GPRS over here, saying that it received an unknown failure. Anyone else seen this (or knows a fix?).

is it not .co.uk?

T-MOBILE USA GPRS HELP

Hi, i finally got the unlock code from Tmobile and i am now able to use my phone.
I am trying to setup the GPRS with Tmobile USA. I went onle and found some information, put it in and setup GPRS, but it does not seem to work. When i try to open a wap site with the GPRS, like wap.yahoo.com, it does not come up.
I do not pay for the GPRS, but from what i heard, with out devices, we can use it free, but not full web functionality. We can use pop, imap and stuff, and also get mms, and access wap site. Please if any one knows any configurations that work it will be greatly appreciated.

Try setting up your Proxy settings.
They changed their network requirement recently for Port 80 (HTTP). Be nice if they told everyone though!
Proxy setting should be:
216.155.165.50 on port 8080

According to the Tmobile sites I've frequented, there is no such thing as "free web" anymore and it disappeared months ago. Last time I checked personally, the cheapest you could get away with is the T-Zones data plan....whatever they call it now. I think it's 6 or 7 dollars a month and lets you use wap.voicestream.com as an access point. If you do that and use the proxy server 216.155.165.50, port 8080, you can get to most of the web. Recently, however, I've been reading that even that loophole is slowly being closed by area so while it mght work for me, it may not for you and it might not work for me tomorrow. You can certainly try it using the above access point and proxy setting, but don't be surprised if it does nothing without your paying for a data package.

Yeah, it seems they are slowly shutting down that "function" as mine works sporadically now. Damn. It was a bargain at $4.99/month for the last yr or so

yep - welcome to my world of 10 USD for 2MB a month ! :-(

A bargain indeed. I'm waiting to see if you can do the proxy workaround with your own proxy server. I've had the $20/mo package for ages and it's well worth it but my wife and son have the $5/mo package and use Tmo's http for web access and my own socks proxy for MSN Messenger. A fixed IP address is a big help but you might be able to get away with using dyndns.org for that, too. I guess we'll find out soon as more and more people find out they're starting to get what they paid for.

Well i'm sort of bummed out right now.
My t-mobile Tzones unlimited internet is working again, if I use the proxy. That's dandy. If I turn on my WI-FI and connect to my home wifi, however, I have to go into connections and turn off the proxy for my tmobile gprs in order for me to connect to the internet.
Perhaps I'm doing something horribly wrong, or is this the only way to do it? Please let me know.........

questionable
I have tried all i know, the proxy is blocking my wifi from connecting to the net, so i had to take it out. It says i am connected but i cannot seem to pull up any site, so i paid for the $5.99 t-zone deal, it says it might take a while to provision.
Now i am trying to test the connection by sending MMS, it has been a while i usually don't send MMS. How do i send MMS to a friend in london, i'm in the states, i know it is their mobile [email protected], just don't know what the something is. I know the US version is [email protected]. Thanks.
Also, my MDA PRo gives me an option of WAP1.2 or WAP 2.0, what is the diffrence?

Walk into a tmobile store and tell them that you want to pay for a sidekick plan for a compatible euro piece of hardware.
It will cost you $30 usd but its unlimited gprs
Create a new connection and use wap.voicestream.com as the access point. You might still have to call tech support if you don't bring the universal with you because the way I understand it, they ping the simchip and grab the IMEI over the air...may be better to just bring it.
Works great for me. I pop my verizon dsl mail all day with this baby
Now SOMEONE GET ME MY PUSH MAIL!!!

Try this settings...I hope this helps.

GPRS Settings

Hi guys. i know this topic has been done to death, but please one more time.
Can someone provide the setting and info i need to get my wizard to connect to O2 GPRS pay as you go.
i believe it is possible but can not manage it, i once asked o2 to enable gprs and i have the G on the taskbar. so i'm assuming i'm all good to go.
i told the setup app after a hard reset that i wanted gprs and it always says unknown error can't connect etc...
please help, don't link me off to a mad thread that argues against itself, i could really so with finding someone that uses a wizard on o2 pay as you go.
anyone?
PS: thanks

Oh shucks sometimes we like to send people on wild goose chases ! :wink:

I use both contract and payg

that is brilliant, my settings were all messed up.
atill didn't work so i wondered about my sim, called o2 and yes i have data enabled but my sim is nearly 8 years old and so gprs is kinda beyound it lol. its a pp4 sim and i think the latest is a pp9.
anyway o2 are sending me a new one for free so it should work with these setting, many thanks

i now have a new sim but still can not connect
well ok i can connect it says connecting then i get the 2 arrows saying its connected. but checking my hotmail... i select send and receive and it takes ages then errors saying it can not respond to one of the requests.
i have checked with o2 that i cam data enabled, i have a new sim and i am using the above settings provided by meschle. (where do you put the port number btw? could not see that anywhere).
anyone have any ideas... please

Port number is not important if not asked for. Sounds like it is connecting - can you browse on internet? How are you trying to download hotmail? As far as I know you cant download email by pop with hotmail.

thanks for your fast reply. i'm using pocketmsn well trying to anyway. its got my hotmail email listed in it and works well on wifi. msn messenger fails to connect as well.
can i just confirm you have managed to use payasyougo gprs with the wizard? i'm a thinking its time to call O2 again.
one daft question... how do i hard reset it? the manual says. turn it off hold and keep held the top 2 buttons and stab the reset pin. this never worked it did once work while the device was turned on. now i come to hard reset it again and i simply cannot. have tried all sequences of on off buttons and stabbing. this is a daft problem to be having lol

I have a payg card but is not connected for data, the settings were from the same source as contract settings which work. Just a question under connections when you add new connection - did you choose cellular line (gprs) - just a thought could be missed.
Hard reset - the way you describe is the way i do it without problem. Some people do it by settings\clear storage - i feel its pretty much the same.

I want to say thanks a lot for your help, but if you have never connected to gprs on a payasyougo sim then you don't know if it will work. O2 assure me it can work but i'm close to thinking it can not.
Could you try your payasyougo sim with data and see if it works? then i will know if it is a fault my end or not.
Is there anyone out there that HAS go O2 payasyougo GPRS working on a wizard?
PS: hard reset, thanks clear storage works

I have an O2 contract and have an O2 PAYgo sim as well, the PAYgo sim will let you surf the internet via GPRS but NOT send and receive email or connect Agile messenger or pocket MSN, basically its a crap GPRS service, on O2 contract you connect via GPRS through what O2 call their 'mobile web' service, with this you can send/receive email, connect to pocket MSN etc no probs, but like i said PAYgo will not let you connect via O2's 'mobile web' service. So basically your screwed with O2 PAYgo!
The BEST option is to buy an Orange PAYgo sim for a quid i think from their web site, this gives you the same deal as the O2 option i.e 300 free text, 1 MB data for topping up a tenner a month, BUT you will be able to connect to pocket MSN, send receive emails and connect to Agile messenger no probs, i've got one of these and it works brilliantly! They even have an add on that lets you pay a quid for unlimited GPRS usage up to midnight of that particular day, its a fantastic deal!
These are the settings i used on my O2 XDA IIs and now use on my MINI S (the steps it shows in order set it up are for the XDA IIs, but is nearly the same for the MINI S):
1. Go to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections.
2. You'll see 2 sets of option links. 'My ISP' and 'Work'. Under the work links, choose 'Add a new modem connection'.
3. Name for connection: o2 gprs. Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS). Tap Next.
4. Access Point Name: wap.o2.co.uk (for contract) payandgo.o2.co.uk (for payandgo)
5. Username: o2wap (for contract) payandgo (for payandgo)
6. Password: password
7. Tap Finish.
8. Back in the connections settings screen, tap 'Edit My Proxy Server'.
9. Tick 'This network connects to the Internet' and 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet'.
10. In the proxy server box enter: 193.113.200.195
11. Tap OK.
12. Back in the connections settings screen, tap the Advanced tab.
13. Tap 'Select Networks'
14. In both drop down boxes choose 'Work' as the connection. Tap OK.
15. Tap OK again.
16. Sorted!

help
alright i did the pen calbration on my gprs mini and every since its been messing up please help me fix it

orange mms

hey ive got orange gprs to work finnaly im still stuck with getting mms to work wondered if anyone is using the wizard on orange and has managed to get the mms settings to work. cab files dont seem to work and manual setting seem to just as useless all help is appriciated.

Have you tried these - reliable source
Data Bearer GPRS - connect via my isp
Access Point Node (APN) (server name) orangemms
User ID Orange
Password Multimedia
Port number 9201
IP Address (gateway) 192.168.224.10
MMS Message Server http://mms.orange.co.uk/

I cannot receive MMS fro Orange. I'm told by them that this is aproblem that they have had for some time and no answer is in sight.

Orange - they seem to employ people on work expreience !
Sometimes I wonder how Orange keep their customers. They have such a robust cellular system that seems to work even in caves and IMHO is the best network with the worst support and full of employees giving misinformation. If you hit a good technician then its OK but the telphone support staff must just read off computer terminals.
I have had MMS working on Orange since the Wizard came out.
1. Go to Comms
2. Go to Conections
3. Go to manage new connections under top group of settings ie not My Work Network
4. Click on new, then enter
Name for new Conection = anything you fancy
Select a modem = Cellular Line GPRS
Access point name = orangemms
User name = DO NOT PUT ANYTHING HERE
Password = DO NOT PUT ANYTHING HERE
and do not put anything anywhere else in these setup pages.
The auto switching does not seem to be reliable so I select my mms setting as above before using it. Then try sending an mms if it goes into an outbox try resending it from there. I think you have to persevere a few attempts but if you try the above it will work. I have a T-Mobile unlocked but with all original software and addins.
Hope this helps
Kindest regards
Tony Catania

i got frustrated thinking mine didnt work. I find that if i have been connected to the orange world internet gprs, i cannot then send or receive mms until i soft reset. It then works every time never fails.

need help connecting to T-mobile. proxy and APN is setup

I have the t-zones unlimited plan on my account. This worked on my SX66 but stopped working when I upgraded to a Hermes.
Here are my current settings
access point name: wap.voicestream.com
HTTP proxy: 216.155.165.050:8080
WAP proxy: 216.155.165.050:8080
It seems to connect to GPRS and I see the "E" symbol on my signal strength but all pages time out. I tired IE and opera browsers
Hmm changed 216.155.165.050 to 216.155.165.50 fixed it... go figure

think that normaly with ip's the 0's in front are never typed out
could be that newer wm roms dident mask out those zero's
and faild because of it

T-Mobile internet Cabs
I've had this problem for the last couple of months. I just found this in the main Networking Forum. It contains ROM specific to your data plan. Mine now works fine, so your's probably will too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311446

I just moved my SIM from a BA (WM5) to an 8525(WM6).. same internet settings, proxy, etc.. (T-Mobile Web) was working on the BA and now it just connects, and eventually times-out with the error 502 message. Tried radio roms 1.47, 1.48, 1.50, no difference. Moved the sim back into my BA and internet works still. What gives? I did look in the registry on the 8525 under tcpip and noticed the gateway address is the same as the assigned dhcp address. This shouldn't be. Using chaps 3.54b Lite ROM.. any ideas?

T-Mobile tech support did in fact verify that they were closing down the WAP apn. Are they capable of making these kind of changes without notifying customers? The reason I ask is they still have instructions posted on the web for configuring windows mobile phones for "Web browsing" using the wap apn and proxy.. as far as I'm concerned they have breached their contract for my paid services.. actually I'm not under contract and this might give me the reason to consider other providers.

UPDATE.. the Black X Beta 2 works with T-Mobile Web and proxy..

I´ll give it a try

I have had a similar problem but in my case I have a Wizard not a BA, I´ve tried all kind of tweaks for
HKLM\Comm\Cellular Line\Parms\Tcpip and
HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\Parms
The default parameters looks the same for the Wizard and the Hermes except that the Hermes shows WINS addresses and the Wizard doesn´t (Please see my signature and provide your data)
