At&T Tilt On Tmobile network

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 Blackstone on T-Mobile in UNITED STATES

(MODS PLEASE MOVE TO APPROPRIATE FORUM IF NEED BE)
Hey guys, I finally got my Blackstone wednesday and have been messing with it since then. I am currently out of town but when i get back, I plan on opening a T-mobile contract to run the phone on. I chose them, because, A) i can get a good deal on a contract with MYFAVES, INTERNET, HOTSPOTS, and TEXTS, and since i am not a big talker, the MYFAVES would work for me and B) AT&T is just too [email protected] expensive for me. My questions is, for those who are using the HTC TOUCH HD on T-mobile, of course besides the lack of 3G like everyone is stating, how is the internet browser. A friend of mine runs his HD on AT&T, but I cannot afford a big plan, without a MyFaves type option. Post up experiences only if you are running the HD on T-Mobile. Thanks

I'm currently using the HD on T-Mobile. I like it. No US 3G means doesn't matter if its AT&T or T-Mobile, you can't get 3G for either. I running off of T-Zones and the speeds are barable. I don't do heavy surfing when I'm outside of WiFi but I do push my e-mails and occasionally check up on my bookmarks. So far, so good.
Oh and before you sign up, check up www.freelancersunion.org .... if your a member you get a 10% everyone and nice perks on phones... like oh lets say 140 for G1 or free blackberrys... Good luck!

Just remember your already going to be stuck on edge.. And T-Mobiles edge speeds are much slower than AT&T's.

Thanks alot guys for the input. I really do not do much video streaming but do use the internet for email and occasionally checking and replying to forums. If i get the T-ZONES which would allow me to use WIFI im sure i can catch a signal somewhere. I just want to keep this bumped for more input

I generally get speeds of around 150Kb with EDGE and browsing works fine. Streaming YouTube automatically adjusts the image size depending on the bandwidth. I get full screen with WiFi and about 1/2 with EDGE. I occasionally get an "insufficent bandwidth" message on EDGE, but that's rare. It would be nice to have 3G, but T-Mobile is really taking their time putting out a decent PPC phone and 3G is only in some large cities so far. By the time they put out a device like the Touch HD and install 3G in my city, maybe I'll buy another phone, but for now I'm really happy with it.

I have been using mine onf T-Mobile for a while now. No complaints what so ever. Once you choose Touch HD to use in the US. You have lost the option of 3G anywayz. So why think of ATT and its huge pice plans. I am not entirely sure about ATT EDGE being faster than T-Mobile. But I am pretty happy with my EDGE speeds on T-Mo. Browsing is fast enough, I can even watch YouTube vdos through edge.
You always have WiFi which is much faster than 3G. I am using mine with Cooked ROMs from here and I am enjoyin every bit of it with no regret.

for the ones that got TMobile and the HD. what internet plan do you have?
what are the settings on the phone?
are your guys MMS fast?
i dont get mine for a couple days.. but maybe cuz i haven't set up any internet connection?
when you called tmobile did you just ask for tzones?
thanks for the help..

Well, as far as the settings go, I just stuck my T-Mobile Sim and it automatically detected it and configured everything including MMS
The speeds arent that bad, you have to remember that most people view only a dozen or so sites regularly that's the whole idea behind cashing pages.
But even besides that the speeds are not that bad. Opera is really good at rendering pages. I thought I would not be able to deal with it coming off the G1 but I barely notice to be hones with you.
I can do a screenie of my t-mobile setting for my g1 there were a bunch of Access points that I didn't know exsisted. there are like a dozen or so, you can try to configure those manually to see if you can purge faster speeds and report back.
I don't have it with me right now, but if yo PM me I'd be more than happy to do so
I hope this helps.
Peace!

your settings should automatically be detected but the default address is usually wap.voicestream.xxxx . all I did was let it auto detect and change both tmobile data and tmobile mms to epc.tmobile.com I heard the epc is faster than the wap. try that.

No problems in the USA
I have been with TMo in the USA for 4 years and have nothing but good things to say. Great coverage (I am an airline pilot and the means a lot!) and great plans. My previous phone was the JasJar (HTC Universal) and it was stuck with GPRS only so Edge has been a nice, surprising speed boost that is very acceptable for browsing, Google Maps etc. While it is true that Edge won't let me stream the max quality videos from YouTube, I don't think I am missing much by not having 3G. Using my WiFi connection at home is only a substantial benefit when I want to download a large file, which I almost never do.
The HD and Tmo have a great working realationship.
Regards,
Gordo

I'm looking for this as well. I have a download that I used for my Kaiser. Is this the same one?

i dont know.. this is my 1st WinMo phone.. no one gives an exact answer =/.. does anyone know?

I'm finding T-mo with their data plan (2G) quite bearable: I don't even try streaming media, it would be pure frustration, but is fine with wifi (faster than 3G anyway).
Search/Google "T-mobile T-zones youtube and internet access". You'll find the default settings will allow you to access only T-mo's T-zones content. There have been some port configuration hacks posted over the last couple of years, but T-mo may have plugged those up by now.
I look at it this way.... I just spent, what $750 on a phone, another $19.00 for the data plan isn't going to make a damned bit of difference. If you got yours cheaper, consider the difference as free data for a while.

I have been using TMobile for years without any problems and if you have problems they have great Tech support. BTW ' epc ' did not work on my HD
for a data connection.

Awesome thanks guys for your replies. I order my phone and plan for T-mobile today thru Telesales with a major discount i got. Will have it overnighted to me and should hopefully have my phone and plan by tuesday.....so that means that the BLACKSTONE should be running then....majorly excited!!!!

GPRS is ok, but 3G won't let me online!

Hi,
I have searched high and low and probably not well enough, but I couldn't take it anymore. I'm having trouble getting connected when I'm on 3G. It won't let me go online. As soon as I move and I get a GPRS connection, it's all good. But the moment it shows me the 3G sign in the notification bar, internet stops working.
It used to work fine and I even managed to get it to work once for a couple of minutes orso. But it keeps happening. Even after hard reset, I can't get past google signup when it's showing 3G. But when it's showing GPRS, it does work.
Just did it again > If I "use 2G networks only", wait and disable it again. My connection goes dead for a second, but then pops up and everthing works fine untill the screen goes off. It seems it doesn't always work when I do this.
I'm on JF1.31 rc30 and dutch T-mobile with WnW 384 / 64 Kb/s unlimited data.

By "hard reset" did you remove the battery? That worked for me.

If you're across the pond, don't you need RC8? That may be the problem there... Also, I can't say from personal experience, but from what I understand about the difference of 3G there from 3G here is that we use 1700mhz down/2100mhz up while you use 2100mhz for both down and up. I've seen posts where people have said they've had 3G over there but I can't say for sure. I believe it can though, it might be the apn differences between RC8 and RC30.
Also, look in the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466174 for the latest JesusFreke RC8 if you do need it.

Turn of 3G connections to force it to GPRS so you'll at least be able to sign in.

Dave

I have no idea how or when, but on my 20th or so try to log in, it did. I think it was on GPRS, but I'm not sure. But after that it went all the way. 3G was working again. All of that on the RC8 version. Maybe google had problems or smt?
So I guess thnx ipaqkiller

How is that possible when I need to log in for the first time? Maybe I'll need it for the next time I get caught up in this mess.

Anyone know what settings (apn etc) are needed to make calls/texts/mms and internet, please?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Itll do it all automatically mine did been running sweet for a 2 months

Just out of curiosity what settings do people have under apn?
Using the speed test app, I can only get 300kbps down and 500 up for some reason.
Cheers,
Neil.

Yeah, did it automatically in the end, apart from mms. Sending an mms to myself fixed that.
Not tested my speeds yet as I mainly only browse using wifi.

I am getting 2M+ downlink and 1.7M+ uplink. I have web n walk plus (or what used to be) and I understand you will need that to have HSDPA speeds.

Any chance you could post your apn settings as I have the web and walk add on and don't get anywhere near those speeds in two different parts of the country.
Neil.

Im on 3 and mine didnt set up automatically, but after using CMs ROM it came on auto after that

[Q] Samsung Focus Data Problems

So I am using a Unlocked Rogers Samsung Focus on Fido. The data only works when the 3G+ symbol is displayed and not 3G. However, when browsing the web it contantly changes from 3G+ back to 3G and the internet no longer works. Is there a way to stop it from disconnecting from 3G+, or a way to set it so it is always on 3G+? Anyone else have this issue?

I'm kinda noticing this too, who's your provider?
Sent from my SGH-i917R using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

I have a similar problem with AT&T unlocked. Everything works on 3G except downloading from Marketplace. Mail, browsing works. I can browse, see info, ratings etc on Marketplace but I can't download, I get the "Attention required". When I switch 3G off (goes to HSPDA) I can download.
I just noticed this, no idea when it happens or why. In EU not US...

"Attention required" means you have to download by WiFi. They did this to save the carriers data network. I don't have WiFi so I spent a lot of times at the local McDonald's downloading games.

Interesting. Is there any link for this, something I can read? Seems pretty weird for MS to do it out of the blue with no warning.
As I stated, it does download after I switch 3G off in the Cellular settings. So it does download apps from mktplace but not through 3G.
