newbie: t-mobile internet on at&t tilt - Networking

I have been trying to get internet for my new at&t tilt , but on my t-mobile account. I purchased the 19.95 internet service and was on the phone with t-mobile for 4 hours and no luck .
I then started to search the internet and came across a posting that talked about the same t-mobile internet issue that I am having. Some one replied to his posting and told him to download this :t-mobile_usa_vpn_uni_sa_v3.0.cab.
I tried and success. I was searching through the net downloading a few things on my phone when then i get a call. I hang from my call tried to get back to the internet and no luck . It worked when i downloaded that file but it will not let me anymore. Back to square one .
Can any one help me with my problem ?
I never had to mess with my phone to unlock it and download software to use the internet. This is my first time and I don't know what the heck im doing.
Please help..Much thanks to everyone that replys

Yes. See the FAQ entry on Howard Forums - I wrote a piece on how to fix this. I am running the Imate ROM.

Can you point a link to the download that you mention in the FAQ.
I have the updated ROM but unable to get the GPRS working for T-Mobile USA. Many thanks in advance.
alright i got my GPRS back up and running.
i just added a new connection, called it T-MOBLE GPRS and set the access point to internet2.voicestream.com.
most people on this forum mention how this particular ROM seems to run faster, but i havent really noticed any performance increases yet
Possible help GPRS, etc
This might be of benefit to some with the GPRS trouble after update.
1. I did the Imate ROM update and had lots of trouble with GPRS MMS etc..
2. Didn't know how to fix so - I started over...
3. I installed the Qtek ROM and had the same connection issues.
4. Called T-Mobile - got a 3rd level tec and he suggested something I had not heard before. Now keep in mind that I had reset several times hard and soft. He had me go inot Comm and hit the phone icon - and turn it off and on. I am not sure exactly why - but it worked! His explanation was that since I was going back and forth between work and home that the phone (which is supposed to switch automatically didn't and) got locked somehow. I am pretty new to all of this but already did 3 ROM updates - so learning a lot.
5. Now all my connections work the way they are suppose to. Only ONE connection and that is wap.voicestream.com as it should be. My WiFi connection is blazingly fast! I am a happy camper - but I went around and around with this for about 2 days before getting a tec that gave me this advice.
Perhpas someone can tell me which is newer (better) the Qtek or the Imate ROM??
Thanks,
Shep
ok i have searched all over howard forums and here about the GPRS settings for T-Mobile USA.
in one particualr post it mentions you have to set the appropriate access point for your type of internet service. Personally, i have the T-Mobile total internet for $29.99.
I have applied both of these setting as my access point
internet2.voicestream.com and wap.voicestream.com
both of these settings allowed me to connect to the GPRS network, so i guess my question is which setting should i be using????
T-Mobile is shipping all these devices with wap.voicestream.com, and has opened the ports for people on the "real" internet service using it.
If you use "internet2", you will have problems with MMS, since you can't send MMS through that AP. There are workarounds for this but they are messy. My recommendation is that you use wap.

o2 mini s gprs help

hey ive used every sites way of making it work on pay and go even this site it dosnt work for me ive used the exact settings ive got 9 pounds credit it just wont work it wont let me use the internet and it wont let me log in to the messenger
can anybody help this is really anoying considering i spent alot on this phone
thanks
Can't use internet sites on pay & go only wap sites, try this as home page, " wsp://wap.o2.co.uk/ " . not sure about messenger never tried over gprs but i doubt it, let me no if i'm wrong.
Sorry it seems I got this wrong, you can connect to the internet via remote server it explains how to do this in a thread in this forum."http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269023&highlight=T-Mobile+GPRS". Hope this helps.

MMS again :-)

Guys I,ve been reading the forum for the last 7 days straight, i,m going frikin blind here,
no matter what settings i change/try, cab files i download an install , I cannot get this MDA T Mobile of mine to work with ATT mms messages
Like I said its a T Mobil branded MDA , both CID AND SIM unlocked , and has my Cingular(now att) sim card in it , all works well except the frikin mms
Seriously has anyone got this combo to work , or should i just give it up?
cheers
should have added
stock T Mobile ROM
2.26
Oh Well
Guess it dont work
Why dont you just flash a cingular rom on there to begin with. That will install all of the necessary cabs for your mms to work.
That was what I was thinking, I,ve been reading for about 2 weeks now , every flashing post I can find , so i dont ask stupid question, and brick the thing, getting a bit more comfortable with the thoughts of flasing it now.
Once I get the balls to do it, i,ll prob want to try a few WM6 Roms out
At the min , i,m just double checking I have all my apps that I reg use all collected so I dont have to hunt all over the forums again
I have used WST for find out for sure what I have, and according to it, its Def a G3 , CID and SIM unlocked , so if i,m not wrong.....
all I need to do is
Flash it with the T Mob 2.26 (Its Origional) to give it a clean basis
them reflash it with the Cingular rom?
Hey, I have the same phone only with 1.08. I'm having the same problem with MMS. If flashing a ATT/Cingular ROM fixes your problem please ost up or pm me. Where could I find a ATT/Cingular ROM?
Hey meyekulbayrd
I,ve just bought another unlocked second hand 8125 off ebay, so i can flash it and try out a few roms and things.
So if i brick it , i,ll not be to upset an i,ll have my own MDA in tact, I know its a kinda wuss way out but I just dont want to be left without my phone, i use it all the time with sms and tomtom nav.
I,ll be sure to post up my results, If it all goes well i may end up flashing the other one for the wife to replace her ipaq
I just bought a broken one a week ago and repaired it with a new screen two days ago. The same day I flashed it myself. Its really easy to do especially if its a g3. I didnt know much about the phones or roms untill I researched this site for a few hours. I spent a few hours on it and messed with different radio roms, and wm6 roms. My mms settings were a pain, but I got some good t-mobile auto configure cabs off this site. I reccomend just doing a cingular/at&t rom flash on your device and it should be a cake walk. That should make your mms and text settings correct. Try looking up some cab files for the settings and just transfer them to your phone if you decide not to flash it yet. I remember reading that there was a issue with this for some people and there was a fix for it somewhere.
this helped me out for my 8125
check out this thred and look up something in the second post called "shogun_cing.cab"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298936
run it and restart your phone. send a mms to your email and see what's up. like i said it it did it for me maybe it will help you out just the same. good luck on it either way.
Just tried that cab file, no good
still wont send an recieve bugger all
had a look at the mms server settings, can someone post their Cingular/AT&T mms server settings, just for comparison, mine are set as.....
Server Name Default
Gateway 63.73.9.22
Port Number 9201
server Address http://vxpixcom/servlets/mms
Connect Via MEdia Net
Sending Size Limit 600k
Dont look right to me at all
Here are the settings for the stock AT&T 8125 rom from the AT&T site. You also have to have mediaNet setup correctly.

Thanks for that, but I already tried that 5 times, and have checked/reset/restarted numerious times without any success
I have discovered that my PIE will not work , while i,m on my wireless lan at home , but will on gprs connection
I have d/loaded opera to try and yes it will connect and display pages perfectly on both wifi and the gprs connections?
I am getting a valid ip address from the router, it is set on mixed mode b+g, and i have the reg hack for g installed on the mda
kinda makes me think something is broken in windows?
Sorry double posted the info
Got It Fixed
Well the update is good news,
I got the flea bay 8125 the other day , it was advertised as unlocked , but off course it wasent , either SIM or CID unlocked , but no big deal
I followed this Great Tutorial
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
Major thanks to the Author, made unlocking so easy
Long and short of it is , I,ve flased the 8125 maybe 5 times in 2 days , to try different roms and every single time its been 100% fine
I found one rom , I think i,ll keep on the phone , Jaguar 4, even has a cab file to set the AT&T settings all up so MMS , works fine.
All in all , i,m very happy, and would like to Thank all you guys for all your fantastic work
Excellent Forum
Just read,read,read and you WILL find the answers
Also
Oh sorry forgot to mention
I flashed my own MDA with the same rom , all is fine , works great , all settings are correct for MMS
so dont worry if you got an MDA it WILL workwith all the AT&T stuff

T-mobile wap will not work after flashing dutty's 6.1 rom

I've spent countless hours on the phone with T-mobile customer care, days searching the net. I tried basically every single setting possible and no matter what I do I can't connect to the internet or send MMS on my Tilt at all. Does anyone have any Idea how to get wap or mms working for t-mobile on windows mobile 6.1?

I'm hoping that you already have a data plan, if not then you might want to add it by calling the Tmobile or just add it by logging through the website. This is what I use on mine:
Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Add or Manage new connection and on Access Point Name (APN) wap.voicestream.com and hit next and just click finish.
Good Luck
thanks for the help
I had the 5.99 t-zones package which worked fine on windows mobile 6.0. After flashing 6.1 It wouldn't work and I do have the access point set to wap.voicestream.com, I'm not one to just post a question without doing my research. I tried numerous different settings and followed numerous tutorials but nothing works. I finally resorted to ordering the $19.99 Internet package and oddly it works just fine now, instead of using the access point wap.voicestream.com I changed it to internet2.voicestream.com for the 19.99 internet plan. It sucks however that I have to pay 15 dollars a month extra to enjoy what I paid only 5.99 a month for before. The reason why I don't switch back to WM 6.0 is because I have grown accustomed to the threaded sms and it's a feature I really don't want to give up. I know there's threaded sms application but nothing can compare to having it built in. If anyone has a fix for this or can give some idea's please do. I'd much rather revert back to paying 5.99 a month as opposed to the 19.99 I began paying a month today.
this is a cab file I made for the tmo $5.99 plan and arscsoft mms 4.2.8.1. It works on my wm6 rom. Maybe it'll work for you.

I will give it a try now, I have to call T-mobile and have them switch me back to the 5.99 plan. I've got my fingers crossed.
::EDIT::
After I installed your .cab file and had t-mobile switch my plan to the 5.99 t-zones it now WORKS!! Flawlessly. Dude you don't know how many threads I came across with so many people that had the same problem and just could not get this working. Maybe you should make it's own thread for this that I can link people to with the same problem, that way you'll get the credit for you work and people from other forums can be directed to xda-developers.
Again thank you for this, I really appreciate it!
Good Idea, I originally posted these in Lurches thread but he has removed his, and these were buried pretty deep.

I second that. I have Vodafone NZ settings .CAB and keep it on a memory card, so that whenever I get new ROM that doesn't come with wizard I just install my .CAB, otherwise you don't get internet, only phone. So find the settings for your provider or ask for someone to post the .cab, then get it on your device and click to install.
The service problem can be either Radio or location or device. Someone on this forum had the same problem and couldn't get proper service at his work. Read the Wiki for the different Radio versions and the correct flashing procedure.
I suggest as a new owner of Uni, you should read the Wiki and forums, it has all the info you need to get you started, addicted and completely in love with your device.

Are you asking us what GPRS 3G / GSM is, or is that what pops up?
