AT&T RSU A.20.10 on T-Mobile

Have the XDA Special ROM 3.17.03 ENG
Have the AT&T RSU A.20.10
Phone works fine, SMS works fine, .... GPRS ????
I have manually updated the T-Mobile Internet Connection settings and have been able to connect to GPRS only once during the last 24 hours. Any ideas on what might be the problem??
Thx in advance

Now it works
Placed my SIM card in a Microsoft SmartPhone and connect to GPRS. Them placed the SIM card back into my T-Mobile and presto, it connected. I am connect using the Wireless Modem app as I write this.
Very strange!!

Once again GPRS will not work. Seems like the AT&T RSU is very flakey on the T-Mobile network.
Does not seem like the radio recognizes that I am in a GPRS area. The two times I have had GPRS work, the radio showed "G" in the network provider bubble. GPRS did not work all morning and then suddenly "G" appeared and then I could use GPRS.
Now I am home and the "G" symbol does not show up and I have connected to GPRS here many times before.
Any thoughts???

GPRS Connect but no data

I have recently acquired a T-Mobile pocket pc phone. It works fine as a phone but I am having problems getting it to work with GPRS with Vodafone here in Australia. I get a "connected" message but I can't even do a simple thing like load the google home page.
I have installed pocketcmd and nettools and ipconfig shows me I have an IP address, ipmask, gateway address and dns servers. I even tried to ping a couple of places like www.google.com and it works.
What could I be missing?

I have ROM version 3.08.10 ENG date 7/11/02,
radio 6.03
protocol 324e4.

FYI I fixed this by modifying the existing "Internet Settings" profile to use the vodafone australia APN vfinternet.au. I don't know why this works while my own profile displays this bizarre behaviour.

I have same problem.
Using XDAII as wireless modem under Bluetooth & GPRS. Folloed guide: http://www.xda-2.co.uk/user_downloads/pdf/Xda_II_Modem_Setup_Guide.pdf. Worked perfectly. (D-Link USB Bluetooth using Widcomm 1.4.2).
BUT NO HTTP! Ping, Telnet, DNS resolution, perfect. Not http.
Looks like might be a DNS recolution on the in-line proxy O2 use, as calling web sites with IP numbers sometimes gets some data.
Obviously, IP with no HTTP is not much good these days, even if it would keep my O2 bill down.
Thanks to any person who can suggest a fix.

WiFi Question

I currently don't have a data plan, however I wanted to take advantage of the 801.11b feature on my home network etc. Everytime I connect through WiFi, it tries to go through Cingular GPRS. Is there a way to get online through my network and not Cingular?

I too don't have a data package and also suffered constant unwanted GPRS connections. Since installing the new ROMs, which I assume don't come with the GPRS settings, WiFi works fine.

do I have to install the new ROM for WiFi to work? Where can I get this new ROM?

First, go to Settings, Connections, Advanced, Select networks, and change the first option to "My work network" and this will force it to go through Wifi.
When I had this problem, it still wouldn't work. For some reason, some routers need you to give them DNS info. Call your ISP and ask them what the IP address for their DNS server is. Put this in your router's DNS settings and it will work.
There is nothing wrong with the wifi in the Cingular ROM. A new ROM will not help you.

So this is close to the 'problem' I'm having. My MDA (t-mobile vario) latches on to a wifi network in the area, and I can't figure out how to change it to the network I want it to connect to (other than physically moving to a location that the other networks aren't available).
I always figured it would be listed in settings->wireless LAN. That seems to be display only (the entries are greyed out). Shouldn't there be a listing of detected networks? Shouldn't there be a way to enter a non-broadcasted SSID?

Well, pfft. I didn't search hard enough.
Settings->Connections->Network Cards

I understand what you are all saying but my experience with the I-mate Rom locked up my Router, the new Qtek rom worked first time. I didn't need to search for any settings.
:shock:

Same
Same here,
First connection no problem but if I want to connect a second time I need to Reset my AP.
Any suggestions.
tnx
specs:
Qtec 9100: 2.17.7.2 WWE
2.07.10
AP: D-link DWL-900AP+

Sorry can't help, mine works OK. Try Qtek Rom 2.17.7.2.WWE

No surf on 3G after wifi

Hi,
I am running 2.11 French ROM with Radio 1.41.
I tried with 1.38 and 1.40 it's the same.
When i surf with wifi then i stop. I try to surf later. The tytn initiate the 3G connection. But IE stay in 'looking'. I have to soft reset to surf again.
With the WM6 rom, no problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Goz.

sounds like your 3g isn't picking up DNS serves.
googles this forum for openDNS
and see if setting them can help.

I don't think to dns.
I will try thanks.
But where do you enter dns in 'my ISP' configuration?

Wifi Connected-ie Won't Surf -help!- Really Desperate Here!

I have a non branded TyTn, running on Schap's 4.31 ROM.
Now, this is the problem.
My TyTn locates a WiFI ntework and connects onto it.
Then, I start IE and try to load a page. But, in the progress bar stands ''Locating'' for some time and then it says ''Cannot locate the page. Try again later.''
And any other app using internet connection won't load. Like, Airscanner AntiVirus when I try to update.
I've tried loads of sonnection settings combinations, like, selecting My ISP, My Work network for ''Apps that connect to Internet should connect using''
Could anyone give me a fair solution or at least could someone who has got his IE to work to write down his connetion settings for me to try.
I am getting desperate, since the main reason for buying a TyTN was WiFI.
Someone suggested that I select My ISP, but there's catch: when enter to edit the My ISP, under the tab 'Modem' there is not a single connection listed even when I'm hooked up on a WIFI network. Should there be something in that list? Maybe that's the issue.
And in >start>settings>connestions there is no Network cards icon at all.
PLEASE, ANYONE!

depend on your network really
if you can check if gateway and dns are the same as
on your computer
and of cause if you are not getting your internet from the router
but from internet sharing your gateway could be required to be set
manualy to the computer sharing the internet

The problem is that it happens even on a wifi free spot, not only my home network.
How to setup gateway and dns on the phone?

One question: under My ISP, tab Modem, does any of you have listed the wireless modem of your device? I have absoluetly no modems listed there, maybe that's causing the problem. And when I try to add one, it offers me only Bluetooth, cell line, Cell line( GPRS, 3G), IrDA, Haynes compatible on COM1; no TIACXWLN1, which is the name for the wireless modem on TyTN.
Maybe, a different Radio ROM upgrade would help? Could it be the radio ROM?
My radio version is 1.48.00.10

I had the same problem as yours previously on my other PDAs and Smartphone.
I simply hard-reset the device or re-flash a ROM

Start> Programs> Proxy Manager
Disable your provider... Give that a go...
