upgraded to the 4.00.10, and have been unable to connect since.
Settings are:
Cellular Line (GPRS)
internet2.voicestream.com
Blank on all authentication info.
Recieve a "The answering modem has disconnected. To check your modem settings......." message with the topion to dismiss. I know I must be missing something, the default settings should work. I am in Northwest Florida in an area covered by the GPRS internet, although Powertel is shown as my local GSM provider.
I've had it working before, on the stock Tmobile ROM, then the upgrade off the site, but since the PPC2003 upgrade its been no dice.
Any ideas? TMobile is stumped, along with the other guys at my Circuit City (we retail T-M there, and the rep and I are both on the new test ROM on our PPC's). His however, works.
Try a soft reset first and if that fails, changing your AP to internet3.voicestream.com or wap.voicestream.com and see if that helps.
HTH
I can connect when I tried wap.voicestream.com, however, I am unable to load any pages or connect to anything. Much like a PC which cannot get any DNS resolution.
Well thats a step in the right direction at least, how about emaill and MSN Messenger! Are they working? Also try running welcome.exe thats located in your windows root folder.
HTH
Same Here
If I connect VIA the T-Mobile VPN I get "answering modem has disconnected".
And if I connect Via T-Mobile Internet it connects but I cant go anywhere, either via web or IM.
Incidentally to get in to manage the connections, when you click on settings it doesnt automatically give you the option to change existing settings, you need to go into add new and cancel and then the option to manage existing connections appears.....weird...
Anyway, anyone any suggestions.
Also running SBP's GPRS Monitor V. 2 Build 224
No ability to connect to anything, HTTP, or AIM type service when on WAP. internet2 and internet3 don't answer at all.
If any US T-Mobile customer is running the 4.00.10 software and is able to connect to GPRS, please list all settings used to connect, in the connection settings, GPRS authorization type, etc; just list as many settings as possible.
I had someone in my CC the other day who told me about the 4.00.10 ROM being available here, and he was on GPRS. If I see him again, I will make sure to clone his settings, or backup his ROM.
Sounds like its about time to try a hard reset also whats you radio stack version?
HTHH
Im using the included 6.24.00 update radio stack. Just completed hard reset on device, still no go. I'll try getting in touch with T-Mobile, I'll just have to neglect mentioning the ROM version Im running. Doesn't seem to be too many differences in the setup of the connections, just in getting them to work :evil:
OK, now whats the status on your radio light does it come on at all?
Also what radio version were you running before the upgrade?
If it was the sock T-Mobile version I'd try installing the newer AT&T stack.
Anyhow if you would like to give that a try drop me an email at [email protected] and I'll forward you the needed four files. As a matter of fact I just downgraded back to the AT&T stack myself just to see if there were going to be any problems and the downgrade went without a hitch.
HTH
Hmmm....
Mine has started working now!
I did uninstall the SPB GPRS Monitor, not sure if that has anything to do with it!?! Need to play with re-installing it I guess.
I turned off AUTO PICK for the GPRS connection and forced it to use internet2.voicestream.com
Yay!
Ok, crap, after further playing it is back to how it was previously...i.e. not working again!
Are there any network problems right now?
emailed.
No luck from TMobile, all looks ok.
Applied the AT&T radio stack with the following results:
Still no luck, same error message, all other functions seem to work the same as before woth the test radio stack.

I too am having the same results.... that is intermittent signal under GPRS. I have actually logged into MSMessenger using the internet2.voicestream.com w/o authentication
...but the whole thing sucks. I am in Atlanta... where are others :?:
Perhaps it is engineering at the Mobile Receiving end :?: Is that posible?
Is there a RSU that is working well under 4.00.10?
Still nothing here. All I can hope is that the TMobile Rep gets to Circuit City soon, and perhaps I can get some help from him (he has PPC2003 on his MDA)
internet3.voicestream.com works every time. I never could get internet2 to work even on the 3.4 original ROM here or in the U.S.
Later..............
I had a lot of trouble too. I went to GPRS Authentication Icon and set to PAP authentication. Now I can connect and actually get it to function for short periods of time. I suspect some problem with Tmobile is causing the intermittent connection loss. The device stays connected but connectivity dispappears. I tried ping tests and they start with semi-acceptable rates then fade away. If it doesn't get better, then I am taking the internet service off of the unit.
I cant believe Im about to say this
As much as I have liked Powertel/ VoiceStream / T-mobile..
They are starting to SUCK.
Customer service
Call connectivity
GPRS
I have had problems maintainging a GPRS connection.
I found that turning the radio on and off revived the connection somtimes.
Other times a soft reset was needed.
To anyone that has a problem Id recommend this...
Call T-mobile talk to WDG about your connectivity problem
next
Go to a retail store or aquire another GPRS phone and test connectivity with it.
Neither of the above solve the problem
It IS a T-MOBILE issue
complain complain complain.
Im not sure if they are saturated or what.
But..
I see no escuse for their problems.
I have had GPRS since day one and it has been flaky since day one.
period.
This is consistent EVERYWHERE I travel to in the US.
Note: I also have voice problems.
Im on my 5 XDA replacement. I havent tried 2003 as its not past Beta and I have enough problems with 2002 to not introduce something that is worse.
Does anyone know when 2003 will be released?
Geez

first a background:
i got this phone end of june. one of the first things i did was update the rom to the 2.24 rom and do a few registry tweaks. my edge was working but very slowly for about 3 weeks until the edge icon(from a registry tweak) just became a G (gprs) icon. i went to the west coast for a business trip and the gprs was working 3x faster than my edge was in new york city. my edge logo has not appeared in about 3 weeks but i still get internet.
here are my problems:
1. why is the edge icon not popping up? i checked the registry entry and it is exactly how it should be in order to distinguish between Edge and GPRS
2. My POP3 gmail settings were working up until a few days ago despite my internet working in "normal" speeds. i get the error message "Cannot connect with current connection setting. to change your connection settings, tap settings. I called t-mobile and they told me to create a new data connection via GPRS and to use the ip - wap.voicestream.com - again internet works but pop3 gmail doesnt
3. i get the same problem as above with my agile messenger which was working fine a week ago so im assuming its the same exact problem.
any suggestions?

Kind of sounds to me like that update didn't work very well. Or the rom. One or the other. Personally, I'd reflash it with an operator rom, don't screw with anything and make sure it works correctly in that manner. If it does, something went wrong in the flash or the registry. If not, return the phone.
well i figured out the Gmail problem, it was a problem with the WAP settings which i managed to fix. i have to re-install agile later when i get home, But this edge thing is really bothering me. I mean i haven't had the edge symbol in 4 weeks, when it was there when i first upgraded the roms. I probably should reflash the phone
Hi all,
I am just wondering is the Live Messenger on T-Mobile UK blocked?
What it is, I just upgraded to the latest LVSW WM6 release from original T-Mobile WM5, and also installed the final Live Messenger cabs (from Black 3.0.1).
When I try to use sign in, it says there is a problem with my internet connection and won't connect. But it does trigger to GPRS connection, and also my IE and other programs can connect to the internet correctly.
So, I am wondering is Live Messenger blocked? Or is it a problem with my settings/installation?
Thanks.

Below is T-Mobiles small print for their web'n'walk service, taken from this link:- http://www.powerupmobile.com/info-WebnWalk.htm
Subject to connection to Flext + web'n'walk. Minimum term contract and credit check apply. **Compatible handset required. Subject to coverage. Provides unlimited browsing on mobile handsets in the UK. Not applicable to connection via CSD. To ensure a high quality of service for all our customers a fair use policy applies. T-Mobile defines fair use as total UK data (both sent and received) of up to 1GB per month. T-Mobile may contact customers who exceed 1GB of data and ask them to reduce their usage. If data usage is not reduced, notice may be given, after which network protection controls may be applied.

Yea I think we are well-aware of this.
But you need to actually sign in to Messenger to check your Hotmail account!
And they never used to block it, although I had tried for 2 weeks until now.
I'm assuming T-Mobile are cracking down on "misuse" because I used to be able to use VoIP (SIP based) but it is now blocked. :-(
Im on WnW and can connect to live messenger fine, no problems.

What GPRS settings do you use?
And is it the £7.50 WnW or the more expensive one?
If they are blocking Live Messenger then I'm very happy I didn't change to T-Mobile! Sounds like it's a bit of a con to me.
Yea but what else can you have with unlimited usage?
Think we need to find a way to run it off port 80 like the desktop version can do.
To be honest I get 16Mb with Orange for £4 which doesn't have any restrictions on it. It nearly always lasts me a month.
can anyone confirm this is the case at the moment as i am unable to test...
Would be intersting to know exactly what their attitude towards this is..

Looking at this forum:
http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60741
it would seem that T-Mobile are cracking down on their T&C. I'm on WnW Plus and all seems to be working for me (I can still log on to Live and send messages). I haven't got around to installing Skype since flashing Black Dymond but shall probably give it a go tomorrow to see if that still works.
I'm not positive, but I think this isn't a problem with your carrier. I'm having this same problem with my Wizard. However, it only happens when I flash certain cooked ROMs. I'm trying to connect over wifi though, and am getting the same error and I just can't connect.
So, I was thinking that it might be certain builds of WLM that we are flashing on our phones. Any thoughts on that?
...this is stange as i have no problems at all. i'm on w n' w lowest plan using agile messenger/live messenger- the only thing they switched off is the ftp which i already ask them about.
i'm using lvsw's rom.
Well, maybe we should start listing our Windows Live builds. Be sure to mention if you have this problem or not. Maybe we can narrow it down that way. I'll start...
10.6.0026.1400
Who's next?
I just noticed my IRC is getting blocked too, on T-Mobile... it connects and disconnects right away. One way to figure out T-Mobile is trying via WiFi to compare.
This kinda sucks. For comparison, I am on the OLD Web'n'Walk 2GB plan before they revamped it with all the Plus/Max nonsense.
I'm running live messenger on WM5 and it connects with no problems whatsoever, i use it every day! (on it right now too). I am on the cheapest WnW plan. Not sure what version of Live I am using , as there seems to be no 'about' option on any of the menus!. If someone could tell me how else I can check the version i'd check.
In essence, I can say for fact that T-Mobile are NOT blocking Instant messaging.
Surely if they block it they're falsly advertising WnW?
I signed up to the £7.50 WnW package because it was being advertised as "the whole internet from my phone". Obviously there's going to be some restrictions because of bandwidth and hardware capabilities, but TMobile blocking things is something else.
-Edit-
Just re-flashed to Elf 2.1 and Live Messenger is working fine... I'll keep an eye on it though.
I have a At&t Tilt W/Duttys dualtouch final rom radio version 1.27.11.31 running opera mini 4 On TMOBILE network tried eveything in the book and searched evey forum trying to figure out why my tmobile edge connection says connected and not be. PIE will start by locating, connecting, opening, and finally freezing. Opera mini will start progress and stop half way and freeze. My SMS works fine but my MMS also has a problem it will send a percentage of the file and freeze. After configuring everything manually still nothing I have called tmobile and still no hope all my settings are correct according to forums and tmobile customer support I even tried the lurch2 TmobileUS cab and the MMS Tmobile settings cab. I've also read on the fact the phone is 3g it will not work on tmobile until their release of 3g having to due with a test on their network. If anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it .

You've probably got your answer, but I use a tilt with Edge just fine. Sounds like a phone issue. I have used Duttys Roms and they all worked fine.
Did you try?
Start/Settings/Connections/Connections/Manage existing connections/Proxy Setting/ and uncheck the box next to (the network uses a proxy server to coonect to the Internet
I hope this works for you.
What i do for my sister's tilt on tmo is use Network Wizard (google it) and install that, then tell it USA then TMO and let it do its thing. afterwards you can uninstall it if you care. i would reccomend changing the MMS settings to 5 attempts and to use T-Mobile Data rather than T-Mobile MMS to connect, that way it doesn't have to establish a new connection, it just downloads.
No Problems Here!
I have been using t-mobile on my tilt 8925 wm6.0 stock rom been through many planning on many more trying to find out how to put tmobile progs and apps on and remove att B.s. im am a n00b as i would be refered to but seeing as i have only owned a htc for as long as i have had a account here i think im moving right up the ranks and would really like to learn more and start writing my own roms looking for a push in the right direction Thanks in adavnce
Running the standard 1.66 ROM on Vodafone UK
Had the HD2 since 1st Feb, all well at the start. 2 weeks ago email stopped sending and receiving and no internet. Rang Vodafone and they said needed a new sim card. Put that in and it worked OK for a day then back to where I was. The problem seems to intermitant but mostly in the afternoons. I had GProfile installed so thought it might be that but still the same. Soft reset doesn't do anything although the phone seems to switch back on will GPRS connected (is this normal?)
To get emails I now need to go to airplane mode and enable the wifi and then I can download and surf. If I leave the data connection on and switch wifi on it doesn't find any connections. Email send and recieve gets stuck showing downloading x of y and a cuple of bars. Opera/IE just shows a blank page.
Spoke with Vodafone again and they say it's the phone, spoke to expanys and they say I need to fill out some form.
It would appear it has something to do with the GPRS
I have BsB installed but otherwise it's just the stock software.
Anyone had this or got any ideas how to fix/test???
Really don't want to go down the replacement phone route :-(
you could try a hard reset of the phone which would send it back to how it was when you first got it
Thanks for the reply
Was thinking that myself or reload 1.66 ROM but just trying to avoid it if possible
Is it the data 3G that wont connect?
Do you get the "Cannot connect for an unknown reason..." popup message? If so, I get this all the time. Had 2 devices and 3 sim cards but not data connection ever. Perhaps this is the reason for the upcoming radio update due very soon.
Unfortunately I live in the 0.5% of the UK where we don't get 3G!!! It's just GPRS. I was down the road the otherday and 3G kept giving me that but when it said H (whatever that is?!) it was fine. It would just appear to be the GPRS f*cking up at various points.
Just had an idea and put my work O2 sim in let it setup for that and then put my Vodafone sim in to refresh the settings.
So far back on the internet and email working
Maybe the Vodafone settings had just been corrupt
Will let you know how it goes
Thanks for the replies.

the H is hsdpa, the fastest speed you will get for browsing
Thanks Richy99, I can only dream of 3G let alone HSDPA!!!!
Well it worked for about a day and now I am back with no internet and emails occasionally. Looks like a new replacement handset......the joys of backing everything up!
