I have an unlocked Cingular 8125 that I am using on TMobile. I can't seem to figure out how to get my Data plan working on it. Can anyone explain what settings I need to change, i.e GPRS and MMS. Thanks.
For GPRS/EDGE setting in T-MO USA do the following:
Press start then go to settings then connections and then connections.
Then add new modem connection
Under select a modem pick cellular line. then click next.
Under phone number insert internet2.voicestream.com
no no no......internet2 will only cause problems later on.....here just do the following....
Hard Reset your device after which before it starts installing all of the cingular customization quickly soft reset (This is where it sayd installing applications in 3...2...1..)
After you soft reset just install the files in the order I have them listed saving the registry cab for the end. Once you have done all this press and hold the power button until it says "data loss can occur...blah blah balh" hit OK and the unit will switch off. When it switches off count 3 and just press the power buton one time to turn the unit back on.
You should be in the clear now.

What do you mean internet2 will cause problems later on? I used to use internet3 here in New York, then all of a sudden I could not connect to the internet using the GPRS unless I was in say Washington, DC. Upon on reading something in a chatroom regarding various settings, I saw the internet2 specified, and switched the official tmobile cab set network obtained from club imate from internet3 to internet2 and it has worked ever since. But I have noticed when traveling up and down the Eastern Seaboard that I do have to change the setting.
wap.voicestream.com is T-Mobile's main data line....from there you get to hop onto internet2 or internet3. It is best to have it set to wap.voicestream.com as you would benefit from this the most.
The reason why I said it would cause problems later on is that what if T-Mobile changes something or applies some changes (like reserving internet3 only for VPN customers) then you would be effected by this change.....so it's better to leave somethings default but tweak the hell out of the rest of th deivce!
A note about internet3....this is reserved specifically for those indivduals who have added VPN access to their accounts...you know the plan that allows you to use VPN access i think it's an additional 5$-10$ more per month....
you are probably right about the wap.voicestream.com I just posted what works for me. thanks for the cab, i will probably use it after i do a future rom upgrade.

any specific area i should install this on the phone? folders? thanks.
1. Download the file
2. Unzip the file
3. Right click the folder just before you see the files and make it "Read Only"
4. Transfer to device (I personally like keeping them on a storage card)
5. Open File Explorer and install one by one
a. Tap on file
b. Leave default setting of installing to Device
c. Tap Install
d. Tap OK (top right corner after successful install)
e. Repeat a-e for all cab files
6. Press and hold down power button until data loss message box comes up
7. Tap OK (unit will now power-off)
8. Power unit back on....enjoy life....
Although I must say you should consider flashing your device with the iMate 2.16 ROM....I have it running and I'm loving it! If you don't need it at least consider flashing your device with the original T-Mobile ROM available here. What's the point of doing either...
iMate - Faster, included Java support, AKU2 (MS Security/Push Technology)
T-Mobile Original - Other than physical appearance your device will function just like a stock T-Mobile MDA
i have the latested tmobile rom, can i just flash the iMate 2.16 ROM? what else do i need?
hi, i just updated my o2 mini s to the new rom from o2 uk.. ive been able to conect to tzones before.. now i cant.. PIE will stay at Locating before popping up an error message.. anything i can do to fix it? or get my tzones working again? thank you
the same for Cingular 8525 for t-mobile US
Will the t-mobile file in the previous message install t-mobile settings to work on an unlocked Cingular 8525? If not, does anyone have the settings? I could not get the ones at t-mobiles US or UK site to work. I will be brave and install while in Windows Mobile 5 (against my better judgememt)
Thanks!
FYI:
I did not hard reset it but simply installed the files in the order within the zip. I did get a waring on the registry edits.cab about being designed for an earlier version of windows. Anyway, I did the Power + OK button reset. Upon loggin, the HotSpot Login shows in the Connections and I was successfully able to send a MMS message my gmail account!
Thanks
I'm happy and relieved to say that this still works. I just updated my cingular 8125 with t-mobile service. Thanks lvlol!

Sorry if this is a horrible question but...
When trying to flash my 8125 I'm receiving an invalid vendor ID message and I'm told the updater can not update my device.
Any help would be awesome.

Ok, i think im getting this, i also like everyone else here has a 8125 with T-Mobile. But i cant access the itnerent or send MMS.
So dose this mean i have to flash my cell phone with either the iMate or hte toehr MDA rom?
if i do will all hte wifi and all hte drivers work still like bluetooth and such?
t mobile settings
alright everyone, if you have the 5.99 tzones, 1. enter wap.voicestream.com in the apn info, 2. make sure you set the PROXY: 215.155.165.50 port 8080 for http and default ports for the rest, 3. make sure you change the default Internet connection to the one with the proxy under connections/advanced/select networks. and for email with the tzones you have to change the settings for your email to connect with the proxy connection or every time it checks email it'll disconnect and reconnect, and then you'll have to disconnect and reconnect to surf the web.
now for the full internet plan you dont need the proxy, the internet2 and 3 are for the blackberry plan and vpn plan if memory serves me correctly.
Nice thread!
Just used to configure a 8125 that I got of Craigslist yesterday, everything is working now on T-Mobile MMS SMS and internet.
Hi everyone,
I Recently purchased a t-mobile mda from ebay. The phone was locked to the t-mobile network, but i did manage to unlock it as im using the phone in Canada on the Fido network. Im having a problem sending and receiving MMS messages. When I try to send one, it says can not connect. And when i checked the servers, the only one available is the T-mobile mms server and it won't let me create a new one. Is there anything I can do so I can use MMS here in canada?
I don't have an answer.
But I know how frustrating it can be trying to find a solution.
Here is something one of the mods setup to help us find answers.

Your phone is probably "Application Locked". SIM unlocking allows you to use a sim from another provider but the data side is still locked down... try to get the application unlocker I had to do that for my t-mobile dash... also you could try changing the rom to an original HTC rom, provided you can find one

Where did you learn the existense of such "Application Locked"? I haven´t heard about it untill now while I was reading your post. I have an 8525 that works at very low data connection speed, same phone flys when I use it with another service provider SIM, the funny part here is that my 8125 works great with both operators. So please redirect me to where you read or heard about "Application Locked" or tell us where one can get the application unlock program?
Thanks

This happens to me after switching the telefon mode from off to on. the phone itself needs some time until its "ready for use".
Another possible issue is one using a 3G sim card in a 2G phone. has happened to me with a prophet. Changed to an old sim card and it worked perfectly. Try changing the sim card to a known 2G and see what happens.
Just switched off the phone in the comm manager (it is an option available to facilitate the PDA usage during the flight journey).
Now my phone is fine and working.
Thanks,
Jakob
Phone not ready
Hi all......
Im a first time poster.....
I have an Imate Jasjam.....
I recently upgraded the ROM and ever since, i keep getting the phone not ready and no matter what i have read in these posts i cant get it to work.....
I have even gone as far as starting over from the original ROM and now the original ROM shows the same problem.
Its really annoying not beingn able to reply to msgs im getting and even worse, not being able to modify the setting in my phone to disable call forwarding to my voicemail.
I have the FCW Home HD ROM installed and have tried upgrading the radio, but fail everytime.... im guessin im using th ewrong one so if anyone knows an up to date radio i can install it would be good....
Please help !
I think you are posting in the ROM forum. Are you sure you have a Charmer cause I don't know the ROM you tell us.
I have a t-mobile MDA that I cant get to update for the unlock or even do the t-mobile update. I keep getting a 260 error and the MDA goes blank and shuts off ,whether I use the button rom,XDA MiniS LaunchROM, or t-mobile ROM. I have read about doing the restarts on the MDA and computer and the resets and nothing has worked so far. I have a problem with the existing software(which is the latest t-mobile update 2.26.10.105) which I am not able to access any wireless network. If anyone has any ideas, please help me out. I am new to this unlocking and upgrading of these devices, so please bear with me. Thanks in advance.

I got it figured out. Stupid mistake. It wouldn't work because I left the SD card in the MDA. I have installed the TNT pro ROM and I like it. One thing I need to see if can be done. How can I make the contact pictures come up bigger on the screen. When someone calls, you can barely make out the pic it is so small. Thanks

I can't send and receive MMS messages correctly on my unlocked MDA touch.
When trying to send an MMS it gets to 99% then seems like it fails and the message is put in my drafts folder. The message is actually received on the other phone though.
When a message is sent to my phone it again gets to 99% then seems to stop doing anything.
I've used a few network settings cabs to try and sort the problem but none have helped the mms problem. The last one I used was the HTC network wizard version 1. Which sets everything up so that I have no problems accessing the internet.
I have an o2 simplicity contract with the unlimited web bolt on.
Is this likely to be an o2 issue or a phone one?
Any Ideas?
Managed to solve the problem by installing ArcsoftMMSComposer 5_0_31_19.zip from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2208775
then running the network wizard again.
