WModem question - Touch HD General

Hi,
this might seem like a noob question, but will really appreciate if someone can throw some light on this.
When I setup my HD to Tmobile in connections it added Tmobile MMS, Tmobile Data and Tmobile WModem link.
Well, Data and MMS I can understand but didnt quite understand the purpose of WModem.
I am able to successfully tether to laptop also using my Tmobile Data connection.
Can someone help me in understanding what wmodem is for.

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.

Cingular settings for TyTn

Hey all,
I'm currently in the US for a while and i'm using a Cingular line with MEdia Net. I'm not really sure about the difference between this and the Data Connect plan, but this was cheaper. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could give me the Settings for Cingular, their customer service staff at the stores and on the phone seem to give up right after you tell them you're not using a phone you purchased from them.
Settings for GPRS, 3G (APN, User, Password, Proxy etc) would be greatly greatly appreciated!
Might help if you actually looked at the forum before posting.
Check this thread for Cingular settings

Do a search on the Forum for Cingular setings, if your questions aren't answered there.
I apologize for the lack of research before i posted my question. My excuse? I am posting using a roaming GPRS sim and the the charges are exorbitant. Managed to find a resonably priced internet connection now, but thanks to all the help!!!
Sorry once again!

ATT Kaiser Tilt 8925 and T-Mobile Total Internet Plan and IM+

Sup,
My friends having problems connecting to IM+ with his Tilt using the $19.99 Total Internet plan (internet2.voicestream.com). Is there anything have to be done with the ports? He says that he can go on webpages but no instant messaging. Any help?
Thanks
I'll help by pointing out that you need to ask this in a different area of this forum.
This it the Titan forum, and the Titan is a CDMA phone- It doesn't work on AT&T, so we wouldn't know anything about ATT's data network!!
Go ask in the Kaiser area.
damn it, i just noticed that, thanks, i figured it out tho, just had to change to port 8080 on IM+ if anyone was wondering, but yeah again, my bad, i thought this was the TYTN forum. srry

HTC p4300 internet question

I have a Dell Axim x51v that I'm thinking about selling and getting a HTC p4300. It would be nice not having to carry a pda and a phone.
My question is... is there a way to set it to NOT connect to the internet via the phone network and only use WiFi/Bluetooth for internet access. Basically I'm a cheapskate and don't want to pay for a data plan.
Thanks for any info!
P.S. Does anyone know about the possibility of flashing to Android later on? I know that there is a port being worked on for the Axim.

[Q] Data On Android HD2

Hey, I need a little help.
I am currently on pre-paid with my HD2 with Android on it, and i wanted to get some prepaid data for a month while i go interstate (300mb). But the problem is, i dont know if i will be able to get it with different Roms and Radios that i have installed. Will I be able to use data? (Im in Australia and on Virgin if that helps.)
Also.... I was looking aroud the forums for a fix for MMS after i found out i couldnt send any, how do change APN and all the guides to fix APN have settings to do with T-Mobile, will it still work for me???
One more thing..... Once i get data on my HD2 can i connect it to my laptop when travelling and use the phones internet on the laptop (with bluetooth or the usb cord?)?
Thanks Alot!!!!
