AIM no longer recieving messages

Hello. I was wondering if anyone can help me out. My MDA, when logged onto AIM can no longer receive IMs. It seems to send them ok though. I dont know what the problem is. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance! By the way im using the OZ messenger that came on the phone.

i had the same problem did you ever figure it out?

Im still having trouble and every time I call for help I get sent to someone who can barely speak english. Hopefully it's just a temporary problem. But I dont know how much longer I can take this. my Internet pimpin is suffering severely!

are you using the Blackberry internet plan? i think my ablity to receive aim IMs went away when i switched from the totalweb plan to the cheaper blackberry internet plan

Yes....just read the forum, you will find here as much info as possible
One good tip: Don't play with stuff you know nothing about (I mean Roms), it could brick your device!!

Unlocking the phone will do 2 things;
1 - let you use it on any GSM network but you will need to add the data plan to access GPRS or Edge (the WAN).
2 - Allow you to flash different low level programs onto the device. Think of it this way, on your phone now you can set up an email service on Tmobile but when you move to Cingular that Tmobile program will still be there but useless. Now you can flash a new Rom which has some Cingular specific programs but you have to be careful because if you mess it up, you MDA becomes as they say a brick.
This is a great forum for learning about these things, try some of the simple things like Today screens or phone dialer screens. After a little you take the plunge like this newbie and flash a new rom, overclock it and generally just make it more useable than it is now.

okay i went to the cingular store and showed the guy the phone and he said it can work for regular phone calls and texting, but it wont be able to use the web and AIM, etc.
so when you guys say i have to add the data plan do you mean i gotta install somethin seperate to the phone? or do i gotta add the plan through cingular.
because the guy says i cant use the internet with it, so thats why i ask if i need to downloard somethin separate to the phone

You would expect that the guy behind the counter would know but he's probably clueless about what your asking him.
Cingular's network is GSM just like Tmobile. The data service is called either GPRS, Edge or the next generation 3G & you need to configure the phone to access that. I don't know the access point name for cingular but you should be able to find it some where in this forum, on Tmobile it's wap.voicestream.com. It's analogous to logging onto your wired ISP, you may or may not need a password. Once configured the phone will log you on and then you'll be able to access the net or email etc.
Worse case is you can flash a Cingular specific rom.

wait so how do you configure the phone for edge?
because when i went 2 settings then connections, it had GPRS Setting

AT&T on the Wing?

Noob here. I just got an unlocked Wing. I am an AT&T subscriber. Phone works great, but is there a way to use the AT&T media net features on the T-Mobile device? Can I make the AT&T network see the device as an AT&T device? I found an old thread with the same kind of question, but no real answers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I believe you have to go to at&t website and configure the options manually unless somebody creates an at&t rom, otherwise everything must be done manually

I'm completely making this up right now ... BUT:
Did you just pop your ATT sim card into the Tmobile Wing? And that's it?
I think for any other features to work, you would need to call ATT up and give them the IMEI and other information from your phone which would make it work, since that's how they detect what type of phone you have server-side and return the information they think is pertinent to your phone...
If youre phone isn't "regsitering" ... or its trying to send your phone the info that should have gone to your old phone that's on the account ... or it may not be sending anything at all.
I suggest, call ATT and explain the situation. I seriously doubt they're going to say anything... since you're still paying THEM every month.
Once they have the necessary info from ur phone, it should take 15 min to provision or something and boom ... everything should work.
Have someone made a cab with those ATT features you are trying to use? Maybe over in the kaiser forum who are mainly all ATT users bc of the Tilt

Cant Send MMS With Hero - Tmobile US

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Actually just got my HTC Hero a few days ago and i have not been able to send picture messages. Im on Tmobile US and have tried just about very combianation of apn's possible and with a Big NO GO. I Also contacted T-mobile but they were unable to help me and i even talked to various reps.
Ok so well everything else on my phone works just fine such as calling, sending normal text, using the internet and RECEVING Picture! But i just cant send them. Is there anyone else with this problem and were you able to find a solution? I've had my phone rooted since i received it so i dont know if after rooting it stopped working cuz i never tried that. I would like to unroot my phone but i just dont know how. I would need a nandroid backup of an unrooted image so if anyone wants to help me with that. I'd appreciate it!
^^Original Post on Hero Forums^^​
Update: After trying the Hero forums with no luck since the forums are small and most users are new to android i decided to give the Sapphire forums a go... Has this happened to anyone with an HTC Magic??
Thanks to anyone who can help!

Bump! anyone???

I'm sorry I cannot help you out. but out of curiosity, what plan are you on on TMo US? can you be on the tones plan with this phone or are you on their $35 unlimited internet plan?

im on a 24.99 unlimited internet and text plan..

that is disappointing to hear. that is like paying for a ferrari engine and mounting it onto a semi truck 3g service plan for 2g speeds. i was hoping it would work with tzones.
Did they make you get that plan or could you have opted for the the web2go (i believe it is called that) the $19.99 plan?

[Q] Using an unlocked Imagio on AT&T ?

I'm looking to buy a new unlocked Imagio and use it with AT&T (Edge only). Most of the posts i have read says no problems but some said they could not make it work. Just trying to confirm before purchasing.
Thanks

HELP!
It worked fine on AT&T. The only problem I have is that I can not use the Internet or recieve MMS Messages. Can someone walk me through this process please. My unit is unlocked. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Did you setup the APN for AT&T ? I recently had to setup an LG unlocked phone for AT&T and used the info in this thread http://www1.gsmarena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25238. Use this info to set yours up.
