Here's the deal, I have a T-Mobile prepaid sim and I've already checked the (dutch) t-mobile website. It states that GPRS should work fine with a prepaid card ad you do not need to buy another card. However, no matter what I do, I can't request the GPRS settings or get what i do get working fine..
Help would be greatly appreciated
tons of people ask the same questions in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=11
as far as i know it all comes down to knowing the access point of ones phonecompany and possibly a signon name and pass (it's rare that it's used though)
if you dont see anybody asking the same question as you,
just try the next page or do a search excluded to that forum
containing something like "tmobile grps"
thnx for the reply, but I guess you didn't figure that I'm one of those people that can handle a search button.. Alas I didn't find anything that could be of any help though...
I did in the mean time develop a second problem, the XDA2 now reads the card a lot slower than before..
Is there a possibility that the card is malfunctioning? It's not the XDA, I've checked it with a Orange sim-card and it worked fine...
odd how is it slow ?
the sim contacts ?
login ?
personaly when i had to get grps working i phones my cellphone company and they said it would be on within 45mins (that it really took 3 days is beside the question )
then i went into connections and made a connection which i gave the name grps (but you can call it what ever you like)
then i choose cellphone (gprs) as connection
then i typed in the access point which i my case were just "internet"
then i opened IE then it pop'd up with a login name and password then i dident type anything and press'd ok then i were online
this is the default manual way of doing it
of cause i cant say if some phone companys do it different and
i know nothing of tmobil they are not even present as a company in this country, so sorry if i cant be of more help when it comes to the strange ways of tmobile
It takes a really lopng time with my sim to get a connection to the network, the coverage is good (checked it with my phone and another pda with t-mobile as well) and basically untill that time i can't load the sim-manager or anything.. nothing too bad, I just have to wait 5 minutes before the sim is loaded
cant you just destroy the sim and call for another and hopefully newer type which dont give issues ?
Well, for some weird reason my sim seems to be working fine again, still leaves the issue of trying to get GPRS working with pre-paid tho...
Hello,
I've just used the ROM Kitchen (york one) to upgrade my XDA I ROM to 4.00.05 ENG (Radio is 4.21.00 the latest one)
Everything went well except now that I have everything up and running again, I can't connect to WAP no matter what I do.
I use GSM since I have one of the old Genie SIMs that gives me completely free WAP access.
Phone and SMS both work fine but the Connection Window just says "Username and password are wrong" all the time. Although they're not.
It's dialling into the right genie number (+447712927927) and I'm using either "geniewap" + "password" or "o2wap" + "password"
The new ROM didn't give me a network config thingy this time, could it be something to do with that?
I also get a program load up on cold reboot startup called "HTC SAT" what is this? Is it something to do with my problem?
The other possiblility (Quite Likely) is that O2 are just being poo again (I used to have this problem very rarely before the upgrade). I will try again in the morning and post back if that is the case.
Ta for the help in advance.
Will
It's OK Now
Sorry, seems I was right and it was just O2 fixing something. It connects fine now.
In which case, what is the HTC app I mentioned in the previous post? What doe sit do?
I've tried to sign in into msn messenger using pocket msn, but failed using WIFI ... any other website has openned wonderfully, but the signing in process to the messenger still fails ?? what can i do to get it done ?
I tried for ages yesterday too and it also failed everytime :-(
Same here , will update this post once ii figure out why , nice tidbit is that im experiencing this with both the Original M3000 ROM and the new I-Mate ROM
It's been happening on my MDA Compact too, so its certainly not a phone issue - only over WiFi (which used to work) - can still log in over GPRS. can't download my HotMail box either! Everything else working fine over WiFi.
I had the same problem untill i change the date and time the correct time;-)
im also having problems signing in Pocket MSN over GPRS...
I had the same problem too, until I signed in using gprs, then went back to wifi, and everything went fine.
Same problem here (I'm using the Qtek 8310 / SP5). MSN mobile doesn't always appear to be up, shame considering they charge $10 to sign up for it!
it's free; how come you say they do charge $10 to sign up to Pocket MSN !! and i want also to tell that it fails to sign in over GPRS too ... it displays the following message : "The Service isn't Available, Please Try Again Later" .... can anybody log in to Pocket MSN successfully over GPRS and WIFI ?? if yes, plzzzzz guys don't hesitate to help us ... thank you in advance ...
Same problem here for 2 days, i'm trying to connect to PocketMSN via GPRS. I tried about 10 times for successfully login.
you mean at the 10th try you got it working ?

pocket msn u can make it work
hey ppl,
i have imate jasjar, till recently i was also facing a problem like u guys! but thn i discovered something... this is stupid but at times this does work!!! i don't know but what happens with my computer is that it automatically changes the date of my pda by one day... so if u guys check, that might be the same problem with u fella's
as well there is one more issue, ur regional settings should either be oriented to English UK or English US , thn and only then it would work....
if u still have a problem let me know....
cheers...

i had a strange situation when i tried to connect to MSN mobile; through wi fi i couldn't make it work no matter what i tried. BUT...
the strange thing i had is through GPRS, you see.. i'm using 2 SIM cards for 2 operators in Saudi (STC AL JAWWAL, & MOBILY) when i try to connect through STC SIM card i see hell before i can connect (if i could anyway) but when i use the MOBILY SIM, it connects even very fast.
could the service provider block this service?
Ok , managed to get it working with GPRS now , the thing im experiencing is that somehow the MSN Mobile Sign in Service doesn't let you log on unless certain values are set and correct. It gave me messages about Time& Date , Personal Information and some more requests, when i had complied to all of these i was able to sign in through GPRS without trouble. next stop WIFI...
edit : apparantly the other posters are correct regarding the WIFI , once i had logged in througfh GPRs once nothing stopped me from logging onto MSN using WIFI.
Hmm. I had to sign up here for it to work: http://mobile.msn.com/
saldous - :shock:
did you have to pay the £10 ?
cos ....
If Pocket MSN was pre-installed on your device, you do not need to activate it in order to start using it. Just sign in on the device.

Agile Messsenger works ok for me but pocket msn wont sign in anymore
says Pockcet msn Sign-in Failed
any know another program like Agile Messsenger as I really need 2 of my msn's signed in when am out and about
Thanks
PayableOnDeath
I believe I have a solution
hi every one, just got on this board....its great!
Now back to the issue msn messenger.
Paying to activate messenger? no need for that, it is already installed correctly, so in fact you already payed for it.
Now how to solve the problem: the problem mostly lies in your gprs settings: if you take a look at your gprs settings in your connections.
there should be a username and password installen (both are mostely your operator: so for instance if your operator is t-mobile, password and username are "t-mobile").
I know this sounds rediculous, because even if internet explorer works fine with the standard settings, for the protocol used by msn a password is needed.
Good luck!! it worked for me and many other users I know with a mda vario/ qtek 9100
Alex
finally i got it working !!
I've got it working, finally ........ there's no tweak at all, just you guys keep trying .....
Re: finally i got it working !!
Hmm
I'm having the same problem (TMO MDA Vario) - ships with msn messenger.
I've had it work once (when connected to my pc for activesync), but now it doesn't. Wifi, GPRS, nothing seems to work :-(.
Guys I,ve been reading the forum for the last 7 days straight, i,m going frikin blind here,
no matter what settings i change/try, cab files i download an install , I cannot get this MDA T Mobile of mine to work with ATT mms messages
Like I said its a T Mobil branded MDA , both CID AND SIM unlocked , and has my Cingular(now att) sim card in it , all works well except the frikin mms
Seriously has anyone got this combo to work , or should i just give it up?
cheers
should have added
stock T Mobile ROM
2.26
Oh Well
Guess it dont work
Why dont you just flash a cingular rom on there to begin with. That will install all of the necessary cabs for your mms to work.
That was what I was thinking, I,ve been reading for about 2 weeks now , every flashing post I can find , so i dont ask stupid question, and brick the thing, getting a bit more comfortable with the thoughts of flasing it now.
Once I get the balls to do it, i,ll prob want to try a few WM6 Roms out
At the min , i,m just double checking I have all my apps that I reg use all collected so I dont have to hunt all over the forums again
I have used WST for find out for sure what I have, and according to it, its Def a G3 , CID and SIM unlocked , so if i,m not wrong.....
all I need to do is
Flash it with the T Mob 2.26 (Its Origional) to give it a clean basis
them reflash it with the Cingular rom?
Hey, I have the same phone only with 1.08. I'm having the same problem with MMS. If flashing a ATT/Cingular ROM fixes your problem please ost up or pm me. Where could I find a ATT/Cingular ROM?
Hey meyekulbayrd
I,ve just bought another unlocked second hand 8125 off ebay, so i can flash it and try out a few roms and things.
So if i brick it , i,ll not be to upset an i,ll have my own MDA in tact, I know its a kinda wuss way out but I just dont want to be left without my phone, i use it all the time with sms and tomtom nav.
I,ll be sure to post up my results, If it all goes well i may end up flashing the other one for the wife to replace her ipaq
I just bought a broken one a week ago and repaired it with a new screen two days ago. The same day I flashed it myself. Its really easy to do especially if its a g3. I didnt know much about the phones or roms untill I researched this site for a few hours. I spent a few hours on it and messed with different radio roms, and wm6 roms. My mms settings were a pain, but I got some good t-mobile auto configure cabs off this site. I reccomend just doing a cingular/at&t rom flash on your device and it should be a cake walk. That should make your mms and text settings correct. Try looking up some cab files for the settings and just transfer them to your phone if you decide not to flash it yet. I remember reading that there was a issue with this for some people and there was a fix for it somewhere.
this helped me out for my 8125
check out this thred and look up something in the second post called "shogun_cing.cab"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298936
run it and restart your phone. send a mms to your email and see what's up. like i said it it did it for me maybe it will help you out just the same. good luck on it either way.
Just tried that cab file, no good
still wont send an recieve bugger all
had a look at the mms server settings, can someone post their Cingular/AT&T mms server settings, just for comparison, mine are set as.....
Server Name Default
Gateway 63.73.9.22
Port Number 9201
server Address http://vxpixcom/servlets/mms
Connect Via MEdia Net
Sending Size Limit 600k
Dont look right to me at all
Here are the settings for the stock AT&T 8125 rom from the AT&T site. You also have to have mediaNet setup correctly.

Thanks for that, but I already tried that 5 times, and have checked/reset/restarted numerious times without any success
I have discovered that my PIE will not work , while i,m on my wireless lan at home , but will on gprs connection
I have d/loaded opera to try and yes it will connect and display pages perfectly on both wifi and the gprs connections?
I am getting a valid ip address from the router, it is set on mixed mode b+g, and i have the reg hack for g installed on the mda
kinda makes me think something is broken in windows?
Sorry double posted the info
Got It Fixed
Well the update is good news,
I got the flea bay 8125 the other day , it was advertised as unlocked , but off course it wasent , either SIM or CID unlocked , but no big deal
I followed this Great Tutorial
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
Major thanks to the Author, made unlocking so easy
Long and short of it is , I,ve flased the 8125 maybe 5 times in 2 days , to try different roms and every single time its been 100% fine
I found one rom , I think i,ll keep on the phone , Jaguar 4, even has a cab file to set the AT&T settings all up so MMS , works fine.
All in all , i,m very happy, and would like to Thank all you guys for all your fantastic work
Excellent Forum
Just read,read,read and you WILL find the answers
Also
Oh sorry forgot to mention
I flashed my own MDA with the same rom , all is fine , works great , all settings are correct for MMS
so dont worry if you got an MDA it WILL workwith all the AT&T stuff
I use Tmobile. Before i bought the Touch Pro 2, i owned a Nokia Supernova. I randomly lost the ability to send and receive picture messages. Since i was planning on buying a new phone anyway, i figured the problem will just be fixed when i do that.
It has been a couple months now with my HTC and the thought had completely left my mind until this week when various MMS messages needed to be sent and received and it was not happening. I then remembered the problem and realized that a new phone has not fixed the problem.
I have googled the problem and i have found it is common, however, everyone's experience with tech support has been the same "Hard Reset the device"
1. i doubt that will fix the problem since i have flashed 2 roms since i got the phone. Energyrom with CHT. The first just being an early build than the second.
2. the ONLY "solution" that i did find, did not work for me. [http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/T-Mobile-Touch-Pro2/Can-t-Send-MMS-messages-HELP/m-p/268108]
And so as a last resort, i have come here to ask for some help.
Other than the 21 steps found in the above link, i have also tried the "Automatically Configure Connection" option on my device.
Thank you in advance.
Been having the same problem since my Tmo usa touch pro 2 and now the problem is back on my hd2. Tmo is not doing anything about this problem and its really pissing me the hell off man.
my sms/mms work fine on my unlocked tilt, even work on my nokia 6510. OP, ahve you contacted them and let them know about the issue?
I have used what is in that link for my old htc wizard, and now tilt. Worked great. Are you using the stock ROM or custom? I might recommend running a custom ROM and/or downloading the "connection setting" wizard.
hi. i have unlocked x10 and not been able to send or receive either. hard reset nothing. checked apn settings but nothing. with o2 and was advised that my sim card was 4 years old and only 2g. aparently i need a 3g sim card and he thinks this will work. have to wait 3 days for it. but strangely my previous phone was sony satio which was also a 3g but worked fine. but this is not uncommon aparently. so hopefully new 3g sim card will work. hope this will be helpful.
I have a touch pro 2 as well and under connection there should be a seperate tmobile connect that says tmobilee mms make sure everything in there is configured correctly,
I'm on prepaid, so I'm not sure if it's the same for those on contract.
One setting I found I needed to change to get MMS to work correctly (besides the obvious), is to change the WAP Version to 1.2....

i think it would help my situation (as well as others who are looking) if you would please post your settings under the T-Mobile MMS selection. because i have no idea if it is configured correctly.
What about for imagio
I am having similar problems, I have an imago and cant find out how to get mms, everytime i send a message it gets stuck in my outbox and received messages are blank, anyone know how to fix this, also i cant find the apn screen anywhere
Did you checked if your APN settings were still ok ?
After me flashing my phone i couldnt send/recieve mms either, Checked my APN settings, and they were not configured anymore. Went to the site of Vodafone and there it said which data i had to enter.
