Well it seems tmobile finally (as of 24hrs ago) blocked the sidekick plan from being used on different phones like the G1 and the iPhone.. on the iPhone forums theyre talking about something that can make it so the IMEI shows as another so I wanted to know if anything like that would be possible on my phone? I still have a sidekick and data works fine on it with my sim but that phone is a POS and more tightly closed than any other phone on this planet. But if I need its IMEI then i have it and please dont tell me to go and pay over 100% more for a G1 plan.. that will be absolute last resort.. BTW the phone still shows as its on a 3G network but everything times out that has to do with data. My Gfs iphone thats on the same plan does the same exact thing but her email works perfectly, I researched and it seems all iphones with the sidekick plan are able to access email but nothing else, i cant access anything.. I really dont want to give up my $15/month unlimited text and data plan
No one else using a sidekick plan? It seems whats actually going on is that tmobile block the hiptop.t-mobile.com apn from using the 8080 port (http), everything works fine for sidekicks because they run on theyre own servers and dont need this. Anyone know a way around this? My email (not gmail) works because it does not use that port to check it Im guessing.. can anyone help me figure a way around this :{
AFAIK, IMEI changing is illegal so I don't thinkl you'll get much help here.

It is in some places changing the IMEI is illegal, but there are guides on unlocking phones by switching the IMEI in the sections for other phones on XDA.
Well it seams that the IMEI change wont do anything so now what i need is a work around to the http port is there a way i can access anything http without using the 8080 port?

Remove the port from the APN?
LOL doesnt work it needs that port to browse the internet im guessing? i dont know but my hotmail email works fine im guessng because its another port and on iphones same thing along with some apps that use special ports but it seems that the 8080 port which is tmobiles http one is blocked?
Tmo just cut me off too. ... just when I was getting used to the low price. But I do think its just port restrictions on server side. I was thinking tunneling or a custom rom to bypass would be a possible solution. But hey deep down I knew that it would end sooner or later. It was almost too good to be true

People with iphone are getting through with just setting up a vpn although their connection is slow pob not to slow since they only had edge .. i was used to that 3g speed.. How would a custom rom be able to work around it?
OMG thank you!!!
I sound crazy but I just was searching the forums for this and made a post. My sidekick prepaid sim no longer works and I was left scratching my head. Any solutions?
Please please hit me up at [email protected] or post back...
ok i hope i didnt jynx it for the people who figured out this solution. for all yall who have non g1 data plans one way to get atleast internet browsing access would be to use Opera browser. its available in market and is installable if you have a rooted fone and have wifi access to dl it. google sync or other apps wont work but atleast you could surf the web. proving that a g1 rom mod to use socket connections for data via non-g1 plans would work. hopefully our developers could think of something. LETS GO COOKS LETS GO! this your chance to stick it to the man and corperate america!

I can confirm the VPN option works.
http://www.hotspotshield.com/clientless/iphone/
Thats the VPN i used. The only downside is you need cyanogens 3.9.7 rom and when your using browser some weird text is overlayd over the whole page looks the the page coding r something... But i only really use aim on edge so im good!
Edit:
Also Use Steel as your browser. It will get rid of the text. Make sure u use Iphone for the user agent!
Speeds are what you would expect out of edge.

Yea i had seen that one before... so i changed my plan to the shadows i tested it before on another sim and put the sim in my phone worked perfect.. off course when i cancelled my grandfathered sidekick plan and put the shadow on my sim... it no longer works at all ...keep telling me i need a subscription an the vpn wont work either
Thats unfortunate about the shadow plan. Guess what we need to do is appeal to devs to make a modded rom to help us.
An Hotspot shield looks like its just for the iphone. I have a g1 so how do I try the VPN stuff out?

If you flash cyanogens 3.9.7 rom it has vpn integration so you can set it up from there. I can confirm it works as i am using it now!

(NOBODY POST THIS ON T-MOBILE FORUMS WE DONT WANT THIS FIX TO GET..."FIXED!")
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(This is only a temp fix im not sure how long it will work!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Make sure u have the hiptop.t-mobile.com apn set and the edge icon is visable. You probally have to select the "only use 2g networks" option. Im not sure i dont have 3g in my area but i do have that option selected.)
1. Push menu on the phone
2. Then settings
3. Then wireless Controls
4. Then VPN settings
5. Push Add VPN
6. Select Add L2TP VPN
7. Enter the following info
VPN name: HotspotShield
Set VPN server: 64.55.144.10
8. Push Menu
9. Push Save
10. Then click on HotspotShield
Username: ipykhv
Password: ipykhv
11. Push Connect
It should say connected and you will get a ongoing notification with a time thats counting.
If you get that data should work fully.
The only problem is if you use the regular browser you will get weird codes overlaid over any webpage you load.
So you can download "steel" from the market and go to steels settings and for the user agent set it to iPhone, the codes should disappear!
I can confirm that the VPN method works. Just PLEASE dont post this on tmobile sites and similar. Lets keep this trick going!!!
do maps and all that work then with the vpn set like that? how bout apps like where or sherpa that use data?

Dream on 2.99 T-zones data plan partially working
Hello - I was wondering if anyone else there is still on the 2.99 T-zones data plan or 5.99 data plan with the dream. I put in the wap.voicestream.com APN and the proxy so now the browser works but no email or google maps or anythign else.
With epc.tmobile.com I have no data.
Anyone else seeing the same results?
This is weird becuase on my unlocked iphone everything works great with epc.tmobile.com
t-zones on the dream? thats like putting hubcaps on a bently. it just ain't right.

I hope T-Mobile shuts off all of these free riders
were not free riders were just people who are smart enough to make the system work for us. If your in an engineering position and your able to get the same effect from a lower costing material, you would be stupid not to, and most likely fired. A person who takes tax breaks when hes paying his taxes is not stupid, but he is essentially doing the same thing we are. dont hate just because we are able to pay less for the same result you are getting. thats just my 2 cents, and im hoping the tzones plan will work on the dream as it has on my wing, 8525 and Dash.

So you're saying T-Zones will be on 3G? Sorry, but I am fully aware on how to do this. Nothing to do with ignorance. The system isn't "working" for you and your analogies are far off.
"If you can steal a big screen TV and pay the employee 100 bucks to look the other way, why pay full price for it" would be a much better analogy.
But either way, it may work for awhile longer at 2G speeds. I am sure that it won't be indefinite though. T-Mobile knows what phone you're using by it's IMEI. They're not stupid and will figure out your "black box" method. Would be awesome if they back-charged you for theft of service.

Soo you can still use the brower and it will be at 3G speed with the only 5.99 trick ? if i can get this confirmed i may get the G1 =] im on a T-Mo Wing now =]
Edit: My guess is with time there will be a way to use the Maps software as well.. i dont rly care about email, just browser and Maps ( maybe some apps that need internet access but i think that will be the easiest of all to adjust, Maybe a 3rd party maps software will emerge ?)
Edit2: Also since you guys are talking about it i guess you can get the G1 without adding the data plan (i thought it was required) can u activate the device w/o the G1 data plan ( i know it needs to connect to google acct n etc )
Thanks in advance
there are not free rider because are paying 5.99 for tzone.nothing is free in this country. and of course can't run a lot of program that the other plans where you pay more money can do.

about this plan in g1, the new phone can use 3g,edge etc. all depend of you contract with tmobil. if you plan use full internet,mail etc, you phone will have to use 3g for communicate because you are paying for that, they have in you config account that you can use this feature, BUT if you plan is simple for ej tzone the phone will work with edge only because when it try to connect with 3g speed, you plan dont have this activated.
for this 3g speed work you need two part, that the phone have 3g and that tmobil give you acces to 3g in the servers.

Learn English and perhaps your arguments will hold water with me.
Using T-Zones will work for basic web browsing, and for gmail, and google chat. T-zone's proxy will actively block the map functions for data etc along with most of the phone features. (The proxy has many closed ports). I am running this way as we speak.
T-Mobile knows about this and they have compensated. They dont mind taking 6 dollars for simple browsing at 3g speeds since you wont barely register on their network. They are already offering such a plan in the UK for a similar price anyways. (yes I am running at 3g speeds for 6 dollars) but my phone is at 30 percent functionality.
If you want to simply browse the web and check your g1 mail then this will work and I am running this way but you will lose out on many of the phone features(actually alot of them) MOST PORTS ARE CLOSED on t-zones.
Anyways have fun.
I have a chance to get a touch for 40$ which is a good deal right?
Also can I flash it to cricket and internet and all will work and after I flash it I could put android on it correct?
I could easily find out how to flash to cricket by reading but am confused by the android part isnt it flashing a new rom so I couldnt connect to cricket? Thanks will be back tonight to reply so leave as many suggestions as possible
Thank You all
no flashed rom needed for android
after you have flashed you touch to what ever rom works for you. there will no need to flash it for android because android as it is will not replace windows. andriod runs off of the sd card. just read forum for android on the touch it should any question you have.

Can you make calls or not?
If you can't call or recv is your ESN in the cricket system.
Did this just start happening?
If you can not make calls but can recv calls go to EPST setting/CDMA setting and change the following..
EVRC enable = enable
and the three below it change to EVRC
make sure you have cricket PRL
HOME SID/NID are correct
ESN matches cricket system
MDN/MIN are correct
Everything works fine now, call and text. However mobile web is still a no go. In the new Ion build there is no APN settings program, just APN under settings for the android. When I add my user name and password to my current APN it still wont log on.

Web works on mine. reset your modem settings using the modem icon. You may have to dl a new modem app though.
The APN settings should be the same as the settings you used on the window mobile settings, wap.mycricket.com port 8080 etc etc.
How do you change the modem settings? Ive entered all the information in APN like user name,password, por,t proxy, is there anything else you said..... meaning theres more?

So what are the correct APN setting to make these cupcake builds work on Cricket???
actually at this time i have no idea if it works or not as they removed the ppp.username ppp.password from teh default.txt and from then on it seemed to have killed the data connection.
All i did was go into the wireless networks settings, or APN settings in wireless settings and modify teh defulat. I changed all the settings that you would in WinMo and left the rest as they were and it all worked. Currently trying to download a new system image file so I can test it.

hi i have htc vogue on cricket and im using donut 1.6 flashable rom and i have data working with no problems.

The HTML data plan is a good work around but is not a 100% sure fix because in different markets it also works through the Simple IP. There are other work arounds like the broadband hack. But that requires a broadband number.
I know this is a bit old but has anything changed here to make Android market/data work on cricket data plan? I am still confused as to what settings in android to make (followed all of whitey's instructions for cricket)

Who needs 3G when your EDGE can perform even better? If you configure your MEdia Net setting with the AT&T proxy setting (HTTP: wireless.cingular.com:80, Socks: localhost:1080), then you can get EDGE up to +500kbps easily. The only problem that I encountered (thus far) is that you can't update weather, stocks, or even play youtube (it'll load the search but just wouldn't play)....and I'm sure some people are aware of that. Now if you want everything to work, all you have to do is uncheck the proxy server box, but in doing so, your EDGE speed comes crawling at 100-150kbps.
So my question is, is there a way to modify the registry to get the weather, stock and possibly youtube to work over AT&T proxy?
EDIT::
I'm using Opera 9.7 build35627
On the address bar, type in opera:config
Go 3/4th of the way down on the list and you'll find PROXY.
now on the fifth line you'll see HTTP server and you'll type in wireless.cingular.com:80
Go down a bit and you'll see USE HTTP. check that box.
Save. Exit and restart Opera.

It's AT&T's proxy server that is blocking the data, so your answer is no.
great work-around!
Now to figure out if I can get this to work on Fido/Rogers
Great news for AT&T users!
I wonder how many other networks around the world offer such speed increases with changing a few settings like this.

I wouldn't be shocked if other carriers have the similar proxy implementation. It's weird because the older connectionsetup v103 doesn't pick up the proxy setting for AT&T, only the newer connection setup did.
Well this is nice found.
Just to clear my own mind I have some questions.
Isn't 3G and EDGE are in different radios on your phone? Like having a high speed internet on your phone line?
EDGE doesn't let you to use your internet while you are talking on your cellphone?
I like this config though, I hope we can find some ways to fix this permenant.

Yes, 3G frequency is different from the GSM (EDGE). I'm just helping those who have a Euro HD2 (stuck with EDGE) or any HD2, but would rather conserve battery by sticking to EDGE. GSM is quadband so you'll get more and better signal coverage than say, 3G, so the chances of you getting good reception everywhere you go is very great. I have 3G and HSPA with my T9193 but honestly, I don't spend most of my time on the net, so it's good to have 850mhz UMTS, though it's not needed in my case. EDGE works just fine
Some devices before like my Diamond and my friend's HD, their 3G speed is around 400-500kbps...which is abysmal when EDGE on the HD2 can perform even better It's just a neat thing for you to have if you want both GOOD battery lilfe and FAST internet. Sure, you sacrifice talk-n-surf, but it's not important for me. I can always turn on 3G/HSDA if i wanted.
lude219,
Thank you for the answer. I do own a European version right now and I take the phone out of charge by 7 AM and then by the end of the night (same day) I have %10 left. I don't use too much internet but just recieve emails. Do you think that when I get 3G phone it will consume more than this? I should start carying a Car's battery with me.
Nothing is perfect. I like the idea of the EDGE/
I will update when I have both phone in hand...
I guess since nobody is mentioning this it can't work but I'll be the dumb one and ask anyway. Is there any way to get this to work on T-Mobile USA? I don't have the knowledge of proxies like you guys do. I have a 3G US version but 3G reception is horrible at my house and I would love to have it stick on Edge at certain times with increased speed. My 3G gives me pretty poor bandwidth overall anyway, certainly less than 500kbps on average. Can it be done on Tmo?

EDIT:: So stupid of me for not figuring this out sooner. If anyone's interested, type "about:config" into opera and go down the list until you see proxy server. Under HTTP, type in "wireless.cingular.com:80" and check the HTTP box further down the list. Save. Exit. Restart opera! I just did a test and it rack in 566kbps on EDGE. Stock tab and weather stab still work!

before the biggest HOOORAY!!! i have a few questions..
does this only works for Opera. Do we get the same speed in IE or maybe skyfire (since we are only applying the proxy under Opera)??
If so, how about downloading using Opera?
and last
what speedtest are you using? I went to speedtest mobile and got lower than 28.8k and am using At&t edge here in the east coast.. (please note i have not started doing the above procedure)

i want this speed, could you please be more detail in what you did sorry im a noob
open your opera
type
about:config (in the address bar without the www.http://)
and go down the list until you see proxy server. Under HTTP,
type
wireless.cingular.com:80 (without spaces)
and check mark the HTTP box further down the list. Save. Exit. Restart opera

Sounds like you are not on U.S. AT&T.
that is weird..
your using att right?
if still not working.. try flashing to duttys rom v.05 because it has an updated opera
but seriously, i dont think it shoukd matter.. since we are only changing the proxy server

think you may be rite, im in uk using t-mobile?
So is this possible to do with T-Mobile USA? They have both Edge and 3G so shouldn't a similar setting be available for them as well? Thank you.
anyone having this problem stared today for my bro and i both running stock 2.2.1, and the only way to get the phone to work is to put it on 2g mode
I didn't update mine, but I have lots if experience with t-zones. I'm using a nexus one on it now.
T-mobile doesn't care what speed you get. It would either block you from connecting or you get whatever the tower can serve you. They're is no special apn for the plan. my guess is that something is going on with your signal.
internet2.voicestream
Search the forums for that phrase, you'll find the settings you need. I don't remember if it was a .com or .net.

Note: The free server that is being used in these mods may be shut down by the Owner before/on May 2011 because of Excessive Bandwidth usage and costs....till then continue enjoying the modded hack !!
Hey there....
for all of you T-Mobile HD2 Owners (like me) in case you dont know this..
there is a modded version of Opera Mini 5.1 made specially for us (T-Mobile users) enabling us to use the internet for free !!!
So for all of you who don't have a valid T-Mobile Data Plan. Here's how you can get it for FREE !!!!
Requirements: Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5/6.5.x
T-Mobile Flex Pay Plan/Prepaid Plan
Step 1:
I assume that you already know how to add/edit the APN Settings and add a proxy server. If NOT feel free to PM me.
For all those who know how to. Add these settings manually.
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: wap.voicestream.com (this is most important)
Proxy: 216.155.165.50 (HTTP/S proxy)
Port: 8080
Step 2:
Download the attached modified Opera Mini 5.1 cab (for all resolutions)
ENJOY !!!
Feel free to press the Thanks button if you found this post worth it....
In case this doesnt work for you (which it mostly wont) PM me...may be we can figure out why !!!
Credits go here
Edit: Android Version Added
Edit2: Android Version Opera Mini 6 Added
Call me stupid if you want but but but... you're still required to have T-Mobile service to use this (meaning the 3G connection, not Wi-Fi) so, it's very far from "free" even if it could be a workaround for a data plan which I'm guessing is the whole idea.
Somewhere down the line T-Mobile is going to track pretty much everything... could get slammed with a big bill after the fact even in spite of such claims of it being "free" I suppose. Worth the risk? Hardly.

Dude !! first of all when you put in the APN Settings !! see the small "E" near the signal strength....which means you are already on their EDGE Network !!
As far as tracking is concerned !! I have been using this since past 6-8 months and no one has a clue and they never will !! You know why ?? (Cos a Tmobile representative told me this that too being my friend since the APN is of the old Tzones plan which is no longer in the market but strangely the APN still works)
choice is yours for the so called "RISK" !!!
ughhhhhhhhhh....annoying dream
Try this if u r on prepaid put google.com as proxy and make sure u have some credit left. :=)

i definitely agree. when the packet data icon is "X" it means that the gprs connection is not available in your area or your simcard connection is disabled by your network provider. however if you can see "G"/"E"/"3G"/"H". the connection is available. but if your on prepaid, some carriers wont allow you to connect on the accespoint of the network. they required a min amount of load/credits to use the apn. while some just like here in our country allows you to connect to the accesspoint but pages that you may access is only limited to the network's wappage/homepage. many network have glitches. bugs like you can access sites thats out of the carrier's wappage/homepage just by inserting characters @ the end of the url. for some reasons it confuses the network and allows packet data in even without load. were using this trick for a very long time on java versions my only problem is editing the server of the native opera mini for winmo.

I really don't think you can get free. Tmobile would detect you using data and probably charge you for using it as on the go. Tell me if i am wrong. All my data usage are viewable online.
