WiFi, GPRS & MMS Issues, Cingular 8125 on T-Mobile

I have a Cingular 8125 and I love it, well, if I can get WiFi and the rest of the connectivity to work with my T-Mobile US account. The phone is unlocked.
I had everything working, except for WiFi. This is what I experience, I turn on WiFi, the device gets an IP, but when trying to connect with PocketIE, it just hangs and I get a time out or could not connect error.
Has anyone experienced these problems? I thought it was a one time issue and hard reset the device, and now I can't connect to anything, except to make calls. All data services seem jacked.
Any advice on how to fix this? Should I go with another ROM? If so, whats the best one out there?
Also, am I suppose to be able to use Pocket IE when I'm connected to my laptop via the USB?
Thanks,
Danny

i tried out the 8125's ext rom and its basicly making your device connect only through cingular settings. I couldn't get internet access through wifi. Not even Pocket msn, cuz they restricted it with a proxy. What i suggest is you hard reset your device, then when you finish with the intro crap ( align screen, cut & paste, set password) simply soft reset your device and there you go, you know have a Unbranded Wiza100 !!

Go into start/settings/connections tab/connections, under "mediaNet" select "setup my proxy server". Uncheck the box that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet."
Hope this solves your problem.

That does it... but with T-Mobile... I need to use a proxy... is there a way around this? I would like to use the proxy...

I can get it to work when removing the proxy... however, if I have the WiFi on and proxy setting on... it won't work. And if I have proxy setting and wifi off, then GPRS doesn't connect.
Any Advise?

try this out. these are the tmobile settings off the clubimate site. they might be out dated but give it a shot. Also don' tthink theres no solution cuz the wizards coming out on tmobile at the end of this month

For some reason, when I install that cab (by copying it to the device and tapping on it), It doesn't seem to do anything. What am I suppose to see after the installation? It doesn't do anything...

Cingular 8525 Wi-Fi issues

I've been having a bugger of a time with the Wi-Fi on my 8525. I keep getting a response that the WEP key is incorrect. I was able to connect once, and have since deleted my settings that the Wi-Fi network, but nothing I'm trying seems to get me connected.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I had a problem with my Wifi working when I first got the phone. But since I wanted to SuperCid the phone I had to downgrade the IPL to do so. I re flashed to the same Cingular 1.34 with IPL 1.06. Since then I have not had any problems with the Wifi.

Here's a thought. Why not try the Hitchhiker application. It tends to get round quite a few issues in set up. Also once you've got it working and connected to Wifi you can close it down if you wan to and you'll find it has saved correct settings for your normal way of connecting to wifi. Another benefit is that you can cut the wep key from a text document and paste it into the box it gives you (saves a lot of hassle whenever you need to re-enter the key - which in my case is 28 letters digits long!!) WM5 box as you may have discovered does not allow wep pasting!!
You need to have .netframework installed as well byt the link I give you also has a link for that as well:

i recently got att 8525 but i havent able to connect wifi with my home network. it asks for wep key, then shows connecting to network and after a while shows wrong network key...no success so far...i even tried the abive hitchhiker sf and all but no luck...has anyone come up with any solution??? i had np connecting 8125 b4...!!!
btw i use wm5 and the most recent att rom update posted on htc site...
hoping for some solution...

I have similar problem too with my cingular 8525. I unlock it to work with t-mobile and also upgrade to wm6 . Now, I can not connect to my home wlan. If I click on wlan, it show my wireless network. But if I click on internet explorer, it show me the default internet window explorer with at & t and window mobile icons. when I click on either one, it take me to media net log in screen. help me

ok, i dont know how but my wifi started working last night!!! b4 it always looked for IP address and eventually disconnects b4 connecting to home network. so i installed "hitchhiker" but no luck either...so i uninstalled and then tried but this time it said connected to network and as soon as i open IE, it disconnects...it looked like wifi connects but then disconnects or timeout due to power settings, so i changed power settings under wifi settings to best performance and now it just connects right away...

Just wanted to let everyone know that switching from "best battery" to "best performance" also solved the "incorrect network key" error for me. Thanks Chakli!

Thank You Thank you Thank You. I've been at this for a few days now. It would have to be that simple.

Just remember you need to run the remove proxy cab file if proxy is has been set to use GPRS/WAP. Also make sure the right network interface is selected - like work uses 802.11 etc..

Yes, another wifi problem thread...

So, I spent all morning unlocking my MDA, and was hoping it would correct my wifi issues even though it didn't make much sense to assume this... Once I flashed the tmobile 2.26 rom back to the device, I was able to conenct to my home router and pull web pages. I had reset my router settings and have left it wide open while testing the issues. I connected one time, viewed a few pages, and then disconnected. Now, I can still "connect" the the router, but cannot access anything through it like pulling web pages or downloading email. I do get an IP address assigned, and I do get good signal strength.
I have searched endlessly here, and have heard something about upgrading the radio rom...? Is that what I need? And if it is, I still had issues finding this rom to install. I have a G3 MDA on TMobile USA, currently using the TMobile 2.26 rom, IPL/SPL are both 2.26. Thanks for any info...

I was just reading that post about the 5.99 t-zones... and saw that you had posted about the t-mobile settings. Do you have your internet settings set up to use the t-mobile proxy? If you do, you have to remove the proxy before being able to connect over wifi.

Are you kidding me? I cannot believe I have never noticed this. It worked immediately. We have a wireless ap here, and as soon as I removed the check mark for the proxy, it works fine. I am sure there is a way but I'll ask, can there me multiple settings setup so I do not have to go in and enable/disable the proxy everytime?

Yah, thats easy to do. Just go to connections settings and click on add a new modem connection and set it up the same way as the t-mobile connection just don't have it use a proxy. The only problem is that you still have to go to your connection settings and switch the network selection when you want to change back and forth.
There's also another way if you have batterystatus installed, it has an option to disable proxy if wifi is enabled. I'm not sure if it actually works or not, I've never gotten around to trying it out yet. I'm assuming that it does though because I keep up on the batterystatus thread and I haven't seen that being mentioned as a bug recently.
One other thing, if you want to connect to the internet over activesync you also have to disable the proxy. I asked Ikarus if he'd add disableing the proxy over activesync as an option to batterystatus also and he said he'd think about it. It'd be nice, but it'd pretty much only be useful to people that have t-mobile so I doubt he'll add it any time soon.

Now thats even weirder as I had no problem with the active sync internet connection. I will play around with the multiple connections method, and also try the batterystatus tool... Do you know if this is still a problem with any of the WM6 roms? I have been reading up on those and am ready to either try one of the precooked ones or cookin my own...

Yah, it's still an issue with WM6. I have a direct link to the connection settings in cLaunch on my today screen though which makes it a whole lot easier to switch back and forth.
The way I started out with WM6 was to flash a precooked rom (xm6) and spent a week or 2 getting to know all of the apps that were installed and whether or not I thought I'd use them and also figureing out if they still had bugs or not and then I went and cooked my own rom. It made it a whole lot easier and I was able to cook only the things I wanted in to it without having all the extra things in it I didn't.

Yeah, I have been all over the upgrading and wm6 forum. I have a week vacation coming up, maybe I'll make a "recipe" then....

No Data Connection after flashing!!

Hey guys, i have flashed to a few ROMs in the past and my phone would always give me the trouble of no data connection. My tmobile wing is hard spl and running currently on papa's black diamond. whenever i tried to go to the comm manager to activate the data connection, it just wont turn on while other buttons i have no problem turning on such as wlan and bluetooth.
i've also tried launching internet but it just says there's no data connection and ask me to go to settings. i still can make calls but just completely no data connections. i have also soft resetted it several time and no luck. =/
help would be great!
ps. i've looked up several other threads with the same problem, however, theres really nothing under connections except add new so it didnt help much.

I think you have to use the Network Wizard. If it is not in that rom, can install it using the cab, it's should be around this forum.

thanks live! but i'm not sure which network wizard cab file works and which doesnt.. so a friend helped me set it up manually. thanks though!!

What, have you heard that question before?
Ryan

yes my fone is having the same problem and now i cant flash to a new rom

i flashed for the first time yesterday, and had the same problem. just call tmobile and tell them somehow your data connection information has deleted, and they will run u through what to put in the fields. and don't forget to go to the network wizard, to make sure its on the right network.

Same problem except it WAS working (my gprs/edge) until I added my first wlan entry.. of my apartment's wifi which works. But after I was done using it i turned the wlan off from comm manager and expected to see the big E for edge and instead just see the two arrows with the little x under it. I can no longer connect to gprs/edge. If i open the internet explorer to view a page, it flashes a "G" with the arrows like it's trying to connect forever. At that point it will not even let me make or receive calls until I reboot the ppc. Network wizard won't fix it as I've already tried, twice... no change. My data connection for T-mobile is set up already under "connections tab" but it just doesn't work. My best guess is something has gone wrong in the registry... but as much as I've searched for this kind of problem I find nothing... just stuff how to fix wlan problems. btw, i'm on tmobile. Oh, it won't even activesync if my wlan is off now... I have to enable the wlan and let it connect to my home network... and THEN it will go through activesync without error. This is nuts, I already hard resetted once because of this and now it's the same story. Maybe it's just a prob with the opentouch 6.5 nofrills version that's just basic and let's the users add their own apps.

Need help tethering ICS through USB

I've been trying to tether my mogul to my desktop through ICS to no avail. The more I try the worse I seem to make it. I read through all the forums and found the registry hacks/internet fix sharing.cab.
I downloaded the registry editor however I do not have a Internet Sharing directory under the Comm directory.
My next step was to try using the available internet sharing fix.cab (from ppcgeeks) and it seems to be a big mistake. First the connect button under ICS was grayed out. I followed directions to change the connection name from Sprint PCS to Sprint. That went ahead and added a connection named sprint which didn't work so I deleted it and left the original Sprint PCS connection which seemed to help with the problem.
Now wmwifirouter isn't working. One positive thing happened though, ICS is connected without the error 67 crap, but desktop still can't connect since it has "limited or no connectivity" (through usb). When I click on repair, I get an error renewing the ip address.
Can anyone help???
Thanks

Bump?
Somehow wmwifirouter is working again... not sure how. I went into remove programs and removed the internet sharing cab fix program and that seemed to do it.
So now I'm back at square one. WMwifirouter works and ICS doesn't. ICS now has the connect button greyed out but I guess that's ok since I'd rather have wmwifirouter working and ICS not than have them both not working. If anyone has successfully been able to tether through usb with the wm6.1 please help.
Thanks
