Hello, i tried searching and found a few threads similar to mine, but not exact so im hoping you can help. I did the firmware upgrade for ATT and now when i use internet explorer everything gets compressed (images and what not) I hate it =(. It says everything is set to go through media net so im guessing that is what is screwing it up. I tried setting it to My ISP but i cant get any www, it does work for POP3 and tethering with my laptop, however. So whats my best bet? Will another web browser work or do i need to set it up diffrent? I tried looking around in IE to disable the proxy but couldnt find anything. Thanks so much for any help!
I have the 39.99 pda unlimited plan on the att 8525
Try doing the following: Click on the Start menu -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections -> Under the Tasks, click on "Set up my proxy server"
As to what it should say in there, that I can't really help you with since I've got the ATT Blue sim card for my line. However, you should be able to find the Cingular settings (along with a cab file to place those settings on your phone) in one of the threads in here.
Good Luck hamwbone.
well i go there and there is nothing in the box. the only thing that is checked is *this network connects to the internet* medianet is set to wap.cingular and my isp is set to isp.cingular

Hi,
Does anyone have or know where I can get a hold of this file. I flashed my Vario with the K-Jam Rom and now can't connect to the network.
Thanks
Did You mean Can't make calls?
Or internet?
Here are the T-Mobile US Settings, which is what I assume you're looking for.
Jon.
Thanks for the file. I programed in the internet settings myself, and although it was slow, it finally connected to T-Mobile for voice calls.
Cheers,

Jon - you rock. I thought I was about to spend too much additional money for a frinkin' cab file. got mms and gprs to work. now if I can just figure out how to set up email and get a wireless lan bug i have.
On the wireless side - I can get it to connect to my wireless router - but I cannot get it to browse the web via pocket IE. Any thoughts out there?

If you are using T-Zones service you can't get IE to work straight off as they have disabled port 80 and you can only go through the T-Zones proxy. It's a pain - the way around is go into T-zones (wap.myvoicestream.com) and use the options in the menu there to get to the web pages you want - I set up the ones I use as T-Zones bookmarks. I have a feeling if you pay for the 19.99 monthly internet service you can use the IE straight but havent tried that yet
Ok, maybe a stupid question, but what does this file really do?
I had Internet service working ok with the plain jane qtek 9100 rom after making an account and poking in the right GPRS gateway, and voice calls worked as soon as I put in the sim. Text and MMS seemed fine too (at least until I upgraded to the new qtek rom - but that's another thread).
So I'm sure I'm missing something, but what actually is in the CAB?

I am not sure I understand the approach you are giving - if I want to leverage my current ISP provider and my wireless LAN connection on my K-JAM - I have to do what? What seems to be happening is I can connect to my WLAN at home - get an IP address, good signal, etc - however - when I try to go to Google or something - is says "Locating" but never connects. I messed around with the proxy setting for T-Mobile and actually turned them off - and was able to connect through my WLAN (not GPRS) - however, that screwed up my WAP setting and now I can't ge into wap.myvoicestream.com (of course). Anybody have the manual settings for the T-mobile proxy they can share? I tried reloading the T-mobile .cab file - but it errors out.
Don't you think there should be a way to use your WLAN (which I already pay for and does not cost T-Mobile any $$) and GPRS t-zones (which I already pay T-Mobile for)?
thanks works great
settings, setup? Please help!
Please help!
I installed the file, nothing seems to be changed. All the connection settings dissapeared from setup. when I go to IE, web page, right away gives me an arror message, "can't connect". before it was "loading" and it was like forever..
May be I should put in the settings manually?
Is there a detail how?
I have WM6.1 (TMobile, internet service active on the plan)
I spent hours calling tmobile tech support,, - 0!
PLEASE GIVE AN ADVICE!
Thanks a lot!
Have any of you tried my Tmobile CABs ?
Hi there, I'm about to update my Qtek 9100 to the latest WWE ROM posted last week. Is there anything very important I should know before I do this? I already backed up all my information and files, and I'm currently running on the Cingular US network. I tried searching for the official Cingular 8125 ROM but wasn't able to find it. I really, REALLY want to have the exact same settings as the 8125 does for connecting to the internet so I get full speed EDGE and the best phone signal it can offer. Could anybody please tell me how to set up my Qtek so it's exactly the same, including the E icon when I'm in an EDGE-covered area? I did a search for everything, but all I managed to find were a bunch of posts where everybody knew what everybody else was talking about. I managed to find the cab file named "Signed_Edge_Icon.sa" but I honestly have no idea what to do with it. As I said, I'm completely new to this, and I just want my Qtek 9100 to perform the best it possible can on Cingular's network. Thank you so much!
Cingular Settings
Hi,
Cingular has a blow by blow description of the settings.
https://onlinecare.cingular.com/dev...ingular.atgnow.com/cng/tutorials/KB56475.html
are the internet settings
.... and .....
https://onlinecare.cingular.com/dev...ingular.atgnow.com/cng/tutorials/KB56044.html
are the MMS settings
And for the cab file, just use activesync (press the explore icon) to drag the cab file to you phone and then tap it to run it.
Cool, I got that cab installed, but I'm having trouble with those Cingular settings... I don't have a "Set up Proxy Server" option under the first My ISP list. I do have it under My Work Network, but to my understanding that is a completely different connection option. Is it okay to have the wap.cingular connection under My ISP and the proxy server information under My Work Network, or should I just put everything under My Work Network and leave My ISP alone?
Through my experience the proxy settings for Cingular do two things (one good one bad) and your decision to use them should be based on which is more necessary to you.
1. The proxy settings allow you to use the MEdia Net homepage at device.home
2. The proxy settings screw with your WIFI connection and cause timeout errors and such when attempting to browse at home.
I personally find that the MEdia Net homepage is nice, but I can live without it or even replace it with other things like google.com/ig.
If you want to enable the proxy settings on the My ISP panel go to the advanced tab and create a new profile where My ISP is. For some reason the new one will allow you to put in proxy settings, but the default My ISP won't.
Does anyone know what the AT&T GRPS settings for this phone are? I have an unlocked 8125, and can't get the MMS messages to download or connect to the internet via GPRS.
I had the same problem when i first got my 8125. After searching around the Cingular site I found a support page for the SX66. I followed the instructions on how to set up GPRS and everything worked fine.
8125 ATT MMS settings
This what you're looking for? Thank Bullshark...
"To configure the edge I changed "My ISP" Connection Settings. Edit "My ISP"
and in the "Access point name:" change it to "proxy" and leave the rest default. That's it Smile
When I want to use the edge I change my Network Management to "My ISP" from "My Work Network"."
How bout settings for tmobile usa
Does anyone know of a site where I can get the settings for tmobile. I have an unlocked 8125 and voice and txt work just fine, but the tmobile site doesnt have info for the MDA which is their version. I was wanting to know if I could take my phone to a store and get it flashed or am I going to have to wait for their cust to walk me thru programming the settings. Any info would be most appreciated.
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL I'M DOING WRONG!
This always happens to me! To be quite honest, I wish I understood Cingular/AT&T or even more so the WINDOWS MOBILE 5 AND 6 CONNECTION SETTINGS and HOW TO CONFIGURE THEM PROPERLY! I just don't get it! I'm a well educated and very experianced Microsoft Network and Systems administrator for a LIVING!!! and this is like STUPID for me!
someone please help me out.
I'm in New York on AT&T's network with the 8525. I am an accomplished ROM Flasher and I am on Schap's WM6 v4.30
As usual, as soon as I flash, internet explorer works and i go to configure my pop gmail and it successfully get the gmail settings. go to connect for the first time to download my mail and it fails.... i tried to installed the cab called Cingular WAP MEdiaNet MMS Settings v2 and that doesnt work. it just adds the MEdia Net as an optional connection. I used to use the wpbear thing to get the proxy remove and restore things.. still nothing! so now i have a freaking interview tomorrow and its 1 am and im still ....ing around with the damn thing and i dont have internet, mail or connectivity to anything!!!
theres ISP, WORK and MEDIA NET... what the hell are any of these things?! i need a stupid tutorial to explain the most basic freaking thing on a pocket pc phone!
frustrated is NOT the word... ready to throw the phone out my 2nd story window as far as i can is more like it!
Schap's.. great job on the new rom.. i love it as i have loved all the others.. but this stupid at&t settings is KILLING ME!
*update* its 1:30 and im still futzing with this thing.. I used the REMOVE PROGRAMS icon and uninstalled the wpbear and cingular wap settings. i got INTERNET EXPLORER BACK but i cant get mail to work. it says Error Syncronizing. and then the typical message "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings."
In Network Management i have programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using: MEdia Net
Programs that automatically connecto to a private network should connect using: My ISP
I only have this problem with my gmail accounts. YES i have them set to pop online. hotmail and windows live works fine.
had the same problem
What i had to do was goto connections >> connections
Advanced tab
Selecy Networks
Click the drop down, Media net should be fine
IE if you goto edit it says wap.cingular
Now hit that drop down and goto my isp
And you have to change the APN to wap.cingular
then on the username/pass screen
username: [email protected]
password: CINGULAR1
domain leave blank and hit OK
and VIOLA!!!
You are back in business
Its actually in ATT's forum help somwhere
EDIT: heres the link https://cingular.atgnow.com/cng/tutorials/KB71267.html
same problem
the way that windows mobile organizes connections is completely ilogical -- to me anyways
i am baffled..gmail will not work, same error, been going on for months now, ever since i got my device
skype will not work, same error, "cannot connect with current settings"
everything else works..
WTF IS "My ISP" and "The Internet" and "Media Net"
why are there 3 connections for the same exact god damn thing?
Should i just delete everything except for Media net?
Then maybe it will be FORCED to use it..god
I have tried doing these steps from the above post but nothing has changed
==============
update: skype now works, gmail still will not work
update2: Gmail works when wifi is on, still not over 3g
What i would really like to know is why the connections are organized this way, so maybe that will lead me to the root of the problem itself

TRAMANE, you are the bomb. thanks for the help. Didn't ask the question but you sure helped me out.
thanks again.
Ok ok, I edited this post because at&t doesn't provide the exact details and there is no thread on here that has all the settings for it.
To get to the connection settings:
Start Menu/Settings/Connections/advanced/select networks/click "new" if media net isn't there or click edit if media net is there/ fill in these settings:
MEdia Net:
General: MEdia Net
Modem:Edit(MEdia Net)/New(Create Media Net):
Name: MEdia Net
Modem:Cellular Line (GPRS , 3G)
Hit next
Access Point name: wap.cingular
Hit next
Leave first three fields empty(if you know what to put put in but it doesn't really matter)
Hit advanced
Select Use server assigned IP address
Select Use IP Header compression
Servers:
Select Use server assigned address
HIT OK
Hit finished
Proxy Settings:
Select This network connects to the Internet
Select This network uses a proxy server. . . .
Proxy Server: wireless.cingular.com
Hit advanced
Hit HTTP
Port:80
Hit ok
Hit Socks
Server: localhost
Port: 1080
Hit ok
AT&T ISP:
General:AT&T ISP
Modem:Edit(Edit My ISP*Change name to AT&T ISP GPRS*/New(Create AT&T ISP GPRS):
Name: AT&T GPRS
Modem:Cellular Line (GPRS , 3G)
Hit next
Hit next
Access Point name: isp.cingular
Hit next
Leave first three fields empty(if you know what to put put in but it doesn't really matter)
Hit Finish
Hit ok
Your done with the internet settings
Select MEdia Net then its totally done and to test it out go to
http://device.home/(It wouldn't normally work with out the proxy settings)
Well, I found them.
It's all over Howardforums.com for years if you'd search there.
I searched and nothing. But this is help full for people on here too.

Am sure a few lazy so and so's like...erm me (sometimes) will find this useful. Maybe put some other settings up on this post for other operators. Perhaps worth a look around via search first as its likely to be something that someones already done. But can't be sure.

Why not just use a .cab to do it automatically?
This is the one I've been using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=67434&d=1201326345
Also, I recently found out I could add MediaNet under My ISP. So now if I have Wifi on, it'll use Wifi. Otherwise it'll use MediaNet.
I had MediaNet seperate so I kept having to change it. Much better this way.

This is something that I've been trying to figure out for a while. How do you add MediaNet under My ISP. I would love to be able to be on the WIFI while at work and then change to ISP when I leave.
thanks,
P

I am also very curious about this.
Settings > Connections > Connections
Advanced tab > Select Networks
With My ISP selected, click "Edit." Then click "New..." at bottom and enter in the MEdiaNet stuff.
Thanks alot for the info. I was having trouble accessing Cingular Video after flashing to Duttys rom.
i was very confused about this and erased all of the connections
why is there Media Net and AT&T ISP GPRS?
I know this is supposed to be for *dummies*
so i guess i am one
But what's the reasoning behind needing two of them?

One is Media Net Access(and the whole internet) and the other one is for tethering.
5 stars!
Thanks, this helped a lot. Now to figure out how to tell my cooked 6.1 ROM that I am on AT&T and not roaming. Seems to be a bug on every 6.1 ROM I have flashed.
WORKS GREAT Thank You!!!

Have you tried searching for the settings in this forum?
It is the only way to learn.
Are there any new settings for at&t? I want to update this.
I was hoping someone would figure out how to manually select a tower in AT&T.

I am not sure if there is anything new but this didn't work for me. I tried this on my Tilt 2 flashed with Sergio76's The Cell ROM v9.5 AT&T (just has the AT&T dialer and nothing else AT&T). I had used a cab that fixed all of the settings to what's in the post except the AT&T ISP which I took care of no problem. However, when I go to Media Mall and search for an app, I'm told there are no results for my handset. I looked at the device ident in the settings and the IMEI is there but the s/n is wiped and I can't edit it. Maybe with a regedit...I dunno. I haven't had the time to try that. It was an idea. There's something that was wiped off the phone that identified my device to AT&T...maybe some sort of hidden proxy or certificate or simply the s/n. I haven't found any Tilt 2 users so far that are able to or even use the Media Mall so I dunno. If anyone else knows something or has figured this out please clue me in. I wouldn't mind being able to get back to the media mall.
Thanks for any help...
