HERE IT IS. Cingular WAP CAB Setup

Many noobs keep asking how to setup Cingular WAP, My ISP, and MEdiaNet connections after their new ROM upgrade. I made a CAB file to make it easier. Just run the Cab and it does it for you.
I actually made it since I was getting tired of doing it manually after each HR, which most of us do on XDA. It was not rocket science, and I know there are members working on a nice GUI for ALL carriers WAP settings, this should help in the meantime.
EDIT: Uploaded wrong CAB. New one is good.
EDIT: Added CAB with Both WAP and MMS.
EDIT: Fixed w/MMS CAB to add the Cingular Settings as the default.
EDIT: Replaced with Fixed CAB for Exchange AS and the user/pass stick now. Also added OPEN DNS servers for quicker "locating"
EDIT: Added No ICON Change CAB as requested.

Wow, thanks wpbear, that will come in handy when I finally do decide to upgrade to WM6

Does this include the MMS settings?

Do you already have the Cingular settigns there and ran this over it, maybe the Reg Keys cant be written if you already have a Cingular setup or if you are just online at the time. I tested it by deleting my connetions and, since My ISP cant be deleted totally, I blanked all the info from it. Then ran the CAB and SR then I had my settings correct.
Also it is tested on Hermes only and the reg keys came from WM6. I can not test on WM5 right now.

I only set up the wap settings. I deleted that first then tried to run it.

I had just did a cleared storage so my phone was plain no settings ad I was unsuccessful also.n

I just re-uploaded a newer one, maybe I uploaded the wrong one or it was a bad transfer on my end. The new one is in the first post.
Check 1st post again for MMS.

That should do it the old one was 4kb

Cool. I am one of the quilty ones that did not know how to set it up so I definately appreciate it. I ended up figuring this out around 2am this morning.
But the downloads still seem a little slow. Im using 1.27 radio and XDA 0.20.1.

I noticed the MMS CAB didn't put the Cingular Setting as the "Default" in the new LVSW version so I fixed the second CAB.
Also I noticed that sometimes all the connection/modem settings are correct except the User name and Password sometimes do not stick. All the other info stays.
If it doesn't stick after the soft reset:
User Name: [email protected]
Pass: CINGULAR1
THESE ARE CASE SENSITIVE! Even adding this little bit is better than creating the entire connection every HR. I am looking at the CAB to see if I can make it better. Probably have to write an XML file to do, I hate those so...

Cannot install either

This is exactly what I need but I'm getting the same error. Tried running the Cab from main memory and from my storage card. Using LVSW on a TYTN - no settings currently exist so there's nothing to overwrite. Please help.
Edited: installing directly from this thread (rather then downloading and moving to my device seems to work)

I think these problems are from bad downloads. The ftp has caused this on other downloads for me latelty. A redownload fixed it on other cab I have tried. I had the problem on 8525software.com before too.

Tried your fix with wm6 on 8525 that you have and still get message current connection cannot be used. Any suggestions.

Trouble With Exchange ActiveSync
WpBear, I really appreciate you setting up these CABs. But I have to report a problem I encountered which caused me some major stress on Friday until I figured it out.
Basically after applying your settings CAB after flashing a new ROM, the first thing I want to do is set up Exchange ActiveSync with my work email so I can get over-the-air synch.
I had previously flashed Kyphur's WM6 ROM, entered my data settings manually, set up my Exchange synch manually, and all was working well for several days.
I ended up flashing Kyphur's ROM again and decided to take advantage of your Cingular Settings CAB to save a little time. Of course, foolishly I did not check out my Exchange synch assuming it would work. I went ahead and installed all my other apps and got the phone back into shape. Next morning (Friday) I noticed I did not have any work emails waiting on the phone - strange.
I then tested the Exchange synch and found it did not work. I was getting an ActiveSync error on the phone about needing a cellular connection to perform the synch (which took me several hours to find).
Bottom line is, no matter what I did with the MEdia Net or My ISP connections , I could not get rid of the ActiveSync error. The only thing I can do is reflash the ROM and enter data settings manually. I have already done this and confirmed it works - I can now synch over-the-air with Exchange again.
Anyway, I just wanted to put this message out there in case anyone else encounters this problem. Hopefully it will save them from the stress and panic I encountered for a while until I figured it out.

wap settings and activesync
I have the same problem. if I install the cingular cabs my active sync gives errors. have to use HTweakC with LVSW to keep data connection always on after manually setting carrier wap settings. but th problem is now my Cingular MediaNET MMS doesn't connect.

Same here, I have tried manual setup and the attached CAB files, both fail to give connection to Cingular MEdiaNet MMS when using LVSW.

I do hope you meant to say you were doing a hard reset (versus literally reflashing the ROM) each time you had to start fresh...?

If you are not using exchange server AS then check if you are username and password are entered. Thia was a mentioned problem I listed a few posts back. As far as AS exchange I do not use this since the agency I work for does not allow personal devices sync with theirs. I use POP3 and tested it this way.

WiFi uses GPRS Proxy - Fix without removing Proxy?

I've got GPRS and WiFi working perfectly.
However, everytime I switch between WiFi and GPRS, I got to reentern/remove the proxy server.
My GPRS REQUIRES the use of the proxy, so there's no going around that, and there are no unlimited data plans on the non-proxy access point [face_cry]
I've looked through both HowardForums (where I am from, I've been a Symbian user until now) and here for already existing info.
Aside from finding tons of people who couldnt get the wifi to work because of the proxy, none of those threads gave a solution that included KEEPING the proxy server for GPRS.
If there is a thread with the information to get WiFi to NOT use the GPRS proxy, just link me to the thread and Ill figure out the rest on my own
Thnx! Hope I'll get my post count increased fast so I'm not considered as a post-and-leave user.

of course u can keep the the proxy server for GPRS and surf the internet via wifi ~~
but pity that my device's interface is in chs & my broken english
(if i misunderstand ur thread,dont brick me )
u can fix it ,follow below
start menu--setting---connection--connetion,or u can see my device' captures pic1
(i dont really sure if ur device is that path,i just translated it from chinese to english)
select the icon in green (pic1)
a new window like pic2,just do it
and the key step in pic3:
the two places in red circle
dont select ur wap setting ,select my isp or my network is ok
when u want to connect internet via gprs,u rechange to ur gprs setting
enjoys

oh I understand what you mean. Yes that way I dont have to retype my proxy addresses.
Sadly, it's still not automated from what I see
I'll have to make a shortcut for that section.
Thanks woohyuksheng!

Cingular proxy cabs
Cingular has a set of cab files that enable/disable the proxy settings. if you search this forun you will find then. they are also in the latest cingular rom, black 3.0, and custel 1.3.
if you are not on cingular you could try and edit the cab files with your carrier info.
give it a try.

weather not updating on t-mobile usa

I know this has been discussed in other threads, but I wanted to start it here, since all other threads are bombered with "i want the htc touch weather applet"... and explanation on how to add cities.
This thread is to discuss any findings about why T-Mobile USA (and some UK) customers can never get updates via GPRS/Edge.
Almost a perfect device, but always these small annoying issues that SHOULD work, but never do.

where?
I wanted to open a thread about this. This is a weird problem. One thing we know is not about the ports. This is really weird but my weather has updated twice over GPRS. I never noticed when it does it. Any proffesional help is appreciated.

I think this thread needs to go somewhere else because it is something general.

I am also seeing the same issues with T-Mobile USA. I am able to load Cities when I am connected to a PC or via Wifi, but not over Edge.

Weird
I was out on vacation the whole week and the weirdest thing happened. It updated my forecast. Just once, and didn't do it since. I wonder if it's tower/location specific. And yes, I have update when roaming enabled.

I am having the same exact problem, it updates when I active snyc, but not over GPRS- and I am on Tmobile also.

Does anyone know if there's a fix for this yet? It would make this app so much better being able to receive weather updates on the go via gprs/edge. I am having the same issue on tmobile, only able to update weather via active sync or wifi.

not yet. someone please contact the pda department and ask them to investigate further, although I think they wont do anything since the htc home plug is not meant for use with tmobile usa.

I just called T-Mobile's PDA support. They ran some diagnostics and told me that everything is fine on their end.
They said that if we can browse the web then we must be able to update the weather plugin.
One thing I did notice is that if I open the following link from my PDA it gets all the information:
http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=NAM|US|NY|NEW%20YORK
This link is what the weather plugin uses.

My touch is from the UK and in Canada the phone always shows roaming. As such what I have found is that I need to have BOTH "auto download" AND "roaming downloads" enabled to causes the plugin to "automatically" refresh the data.
The refresh does not happen as you would think howerver ( ie, in the background ) but rather when you switch to the weather display. If the last download was older than a preset age, it will download the latest weather conditions.
With roaming downloads or auto download disabled I have to force a download (ie refresh weather data) by manually clicking on the elapse time displayed next to the city name.

Where do I configure HTC Weather to use a proxy?

This problem reminds me of the days when everyone besides T-Mo users could access Google results pages. I think the consensus was that there was some incompatibility with MTU settings. It could be that this is the case here too.

Just found a fix here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Step 1 worked for me...! Weather now updating via GPRS/EDGE
EDIT: I just unistalled the HTC Home cab and only copied across the HTC Home dll and it works as well. No need to run the host software.

Are you really using T-Mobile's proxy connection for this?

Nope, blackberry plan. Shouldn't technically matter though, if you're using the proxy you could point to the guys server via pocket hosts.
Cheers,
Robbie.

I'm still not able to get this to work. I think there are 2 things going on here for those which require T-Mo's proxy. First, is the T-Mo network problem in general that you seem to have been able to get around, and secondly, forcing the app to use T-Mobile's proxy, b/c all traffic must use that to use the wap APN.
Which servers are you using to get this to work over the internet APN?

make sure your apn says: wap.voicestream.com
username:
password:
leave username and password blank
try this, it may work

MMS settings for T-Mobile TP2 without data plan?

Just purchased a TP2 and completed the HardSPL and installed the EnergyROM. However I still can't get the picture messaging to work correctly. My previous phone was a unlocked Sony W810i which I'm able to send and receive MMS messages with no problem. I've tried to duplicate some of the settings from phone to phone but I haven't had good results. I didn't want to spend the extra money for the data plan because the phone has WIFI built in. All I want to do is be able to send and receive MMS messages. Can anyone help? Thanks.......Jason

go back to where you downloaded your rom and look for the mms settings cab and keyboard cab. nrg's energyroms always has a cab for it...

or you can do it yourself its easy
go to connections
select tmo mms
hit edit and change the access point to wap.voicestream.com
leave everything els the same way and save haha its easy
after having to flase a new rom every day(im addicted) you memorize it

Under the T-Mobile MMS I have
Server name: T-Mobile MMS
IP address: 216.155.165.50
Port number:8080
Server address:216.155.174.84/servlets/mms[/url]
Connect via: T-Mobile MMS
Message size limit: 300KB
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
Where do I enter the access point name?
This ROM does have T-mobile setup program but the settings for MMS will not work. I don't why I can't get it to work, I can send MMS on my W810i with no problems.

Yes, I tried setting up the MMS settings after the install. I was having this same problem before I flashed the the NRG ROM. I see that you have T-Mobile, did you have to install the CAB? Do you think I'm having issues becaus I don't have a data plan? I wouldn't think that would be the case because my old unbranded W810i works just fine when sending and receiving MMS. However that phone is not a smart phone. When you are in the connections tab what is the difference between My Work Net Work, and the standard T-mobile Data. Under my work netwok I have no connections set up. However I was reading a thread on a different forum that instructed you to setup a MMS connection under MY WORK NETWORK. I tried that, but it din't work. Also, everytime I try to send an MMS I get a message that says my current data connection will be stopped in order to send the MMS and then you have to select OK, is that normal? Sorry for the paragraph...this is driving me crazy.

did you go to start/settings/connections/connection setup and select your country and operator? that should have done the trick. if that dont do it then this is what you do. since the tmo mms .cab dosent fix it and your connections are set and it still wont work, go to tmobile.com and grab the 6.5 rom upgrade, flash it, soft reset,(this will set all your settings to tmobile network), try to mms and if successful, flash back the NRG rom and use the .cab for mms linked on his rom thread(also get the keyboard fix). it will take you about half an hour. if you dont want to do that then wait and see if someone else has a solution. theres 183 views on this thread and no one stepped in to give advise. i have unlimited everything with tmo and i have no issues with mms. hope you can mms soon...

I don't mean to slam you...too badly, but if you don't know how to fix this simple problem, you probably shouldn't be flashing roms. The fix was in the 3rd post, but obviously you haven't used Windows Mobile long enough to know what he was talking about, and you haven't searched for the answer long enough.
So with that said I will walk you through it.
1. Go to the Start Menu, Settings, Connections, and run Connection Setup. Ensure that you have selected United States for country and the operator is T-mobile. Click Ok. Then Yes.
2. Soft Reset
3. Go to the Start Menu, Settings, Connections, and open Connections.
4. Click on the "Advanced" Tab, select Networks, on the pull-down menu select T-Mobile MMS, and click edit.
5. The Radio tab next to T-mobile MMS should be selected, if not click it, then click edit and the bottom of the screen.
6. Click Next on the Name Connection Screen.
7. The next screen should be Access Point Name.
8. Change this to wap.voicestream.com
9. Click Next, on the next screen click finish, and the following click ok.
10. Change the box for "Programs that automatically connect to......." to T-mobile Data and click ok.
11. Soft Reset
I verified these steps as flashed the new version of NRG rom.

I appreciate your help, and I did try doing this before with 6.1, with 6.5, and with the NRG ROM. Maybe I missed a step or installing the MMS T-mobile cab screwed it up. However I did get it to work this time. Maybe I'm not a WM guru like you, but I'll be enjoying my NRG ROM now. Would you like to make a donation for your help? I know everyone gets tired of answering the same question over and over, however I have honestly been searching different forums and trying different fixes cabs etc.. Once again thanks for everyone's time. Too bad you have to get flamed for asking.

Internet Search defaults to Google.de

Hi,
I have my HD2 bought Sim Unlocked on UK 02
Ever since having it, it seems to randomly search on Google.de when searched from the google bar on internet tab on Manilla ( when on 3G) instead of google.com or preferably google.co.uk.
I'm not sure why this happens and would like to know if this is location based or dependant on registry setting
This has happened on Rom 1.48, 1.61 and 1.66
Any advice appreciated
Thanks

its definately a reg key but i dont know which one.

I thought a regkey seemed likely but found it strange that it defaulted to .de even on 3 different Roms. Originally I was on Voda ( different Phone ) but changed due to poor network Coverage. Never noticed it change to .de on Voda though?

Anyone with any ideas?

Preferences on google maybe? If you go to google.com you can usually set what language, country etc you want to search by default, and that gets stored in a cookie...

while we are talking about the browser, how can I change the opera mobile client, to get full desktop view for all the pages

mine dose that too so i set my opera home page to google.co.uk ans search from there, as i cant use the search from the internet tab !!

Is this on O2 - I've noticed that they're giving out German IP addresses
If you go to internetfrog.com you can check
took me a while to work it out!

The search box on teh internet manilla tab is hard coded, as far as I can see. I spent a while hunting through the registry with no luck. I'm with daddycool, just set a shortcut to .co.uk as a favourite and do my searching that way, forget all about the built in search box.

Thanks for feedback, yes it is on O2 and the comments now make sense!
At least i know I'm not going mad!

I dont know if this is what you are looking for (Noob Immunity) but: HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila and change the value of "InternetSearchURI" I was able to change the address to google.com but still doesnt work right. It sends it to "google.com(then types my search words here) sigh...

does anyone knows how to change the mobile client?
google seems to format the pages "because I am using a mobile"

Yes, in the registry find
HKEY Current User\Software\HTC\Manila
Look for the entry
Internet.Searchurl
and set it to the value
http://google.co.uk/search?hl=en-GB&output=html&q=%s
This will give you google.co.uk, and in HTML instead of mobile view.
The &q=%s is important, that passes the search query from the internet tab into googles search box, otherwise you just get the google homepage with no results.
if you want to get non mobile results from within opera, you need to set that within googles preferences, which will then save a cookie to your phone, and you will needed to do that whenever you clear the cache.
