Hello. I got a T-Mobile Dash, and I went and unlocked it. I'm wondering if there's some way to pull up Cellular Video on it? I'm pretty sure I've got the GPRS settings correct, and the proxy configured too, but when I go to cingularvideo.cingular.com/msdp, my phone can't find it (unless I'm on WiFi, where I get the "you need 3G to access this" page). When I'm on EDGE or WiFi, I can't find device.home either (but this isn't really important).
Any hope?

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.

hi i have a softbank X01HT running on WM5. and today i was going to go get the Rogers 3G plan so i planned to tried it out to see if it worked in the store first before getting the plan. so when i inserted the store's HSPDA sim card into my phone and have the carrier's samsung 3G phone call me using the video to see if it works or not. but it couldnt connect the call for some reason. so the sales told me that my setting might not be correct on my phone. so i want to know if anyone has tried using rogers 3G on the softbank before and what settings do u need to do on it.
my internet setting and stuff works cuz i can check my email and go on the internet using GPRS. and all my network settings are on auto. so i dont see why it didnt work in the store. if anyone has any ideas please help me. cuz im trying to get this thing set up before the 3G pricing goes up. thanks alot for the help.
so i guess no one knows then
Hey all - just got my unlocked wizard from ebay... it's a t-mobile device (has t mobile logo on it) but receives calls etc fine when I put in my att sim card, says its on ATT network, etc.
Only thing it is having trouble doing is connecting to the mobile data (it says its trying to connect to t mobile MMS - GPRS)... how do I set this device to connect to att's data network (i dont think they use gprs do they?) so I can send MMS messages?
Also.. my exchange provider said I need to upgrade my software on the mobile device if I want to use exchange push email... I need to get the "AKU2" update... now when I do this, if available, do I get this from ATT (because they are my provider) or t-mobile (because the device is t-mobile) ??
Thanks for reading the newbie questions... love the device though!

Does this still apply though because I have a device that says t mobile on it.. the keyboard looks different from the cingular 8125.. etc?

also, i'm not upgrading from a former at&t plan.. my sim card says cingular, then they became ATT... so i was just saying ATT because cingular is now ATT
so I have a cingular sim card trying to access cingular/att network with the t-mobile device. Can you advise per my original post given this info?
See if I hit your link... following the docs...I don't have (GPRS/3G) as a choice... just Cellular Line (GPRS) .. what can I do??
Under where it says "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:", select "New".
General Tab:
Enter a name for these settings: mMode
Modem Tab:
Add “New”.
Enter a name for the connection: mMode
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
I use a T-Mobile MDA on the AT&T network as well, using a Cingular SIM.
A quick way to set the Media settings on the MDA is by running "Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2.cab" linked here.
If that link doesn't work, it's attached in the second post of this thread.
Thanks!
The .CAB worked like a charm.
Saved me from pulling my hair out!

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.
I was wondering, if I was to order a SIM unlocked Samsung Focus from america (there are a few on ebay) would I have any problems using it in the UK?
As far as I can tell it has the same GSM bands as UK phones, but I am wondering why it wasnt launched in the UK?
I think you will have trouble configure MMS for use with your own network of choice (known issue and seems no solution so far). Also, it may or may not support the 3G frequency depending on which band your carrier uses (Focus only supports 2100Mhz band outside of US).
In UK, you should just order the Ominia 7. Same phone (and looks better than Focus, IMO) sans the SD card slot. But with the amount of trouble of getting any SD card to work reliably with Focus, you might jsut forget about it ever had a SD slot in the first place.
I ordered mine to Norway from ebay. Everything but MMS works perfect, and the MMS issue can be fixed with an app from the Samsung Zone in the Marketplace which allows you to change the settings that at&t have hidden away.
I got the Samsung Focus recently and I'm using it on Vodafone UK. I notice that sometimes despite the phone saying full 3G there's no connection and I have to reboot the phone to get a data connection. Anyone else had this?
I have an unlocked Focus too... for those that have successfully got the 3G to connect - what tarriffs are you on, and how did you get it setup??
Cheers
Samsung Focus in the UK
I have a Samsung Focus from Ebay. I have unlocked the phone from fastgsm which was instant and simple to do.
I have the internet and 3g working fine so far by simply adding the Vodafone APN settings in the menu. I haven;t tried mms messages but don;t really use them anyway but think they should work if you use the samsung app for configuring the phone fromt he store.
Just a quick comment. I can;t get the radio to pickup much. I have changed the region to International but I am still getting a terrible signal although I do get some stations they are quickly lost if you move at all. Any help?
^^ I have the same problem with the radio. Unlocked via FastGSM.
howdy. I've got an unlocked focus on vodafone pay as you go SIM; they can't seem to give me any APN etc settings that allows the internet to work. Do you mind me asking what you've entered into yours??
