tmobile finally closes loop hole? (for g1)

well ive been a user of the 5.99 t-zones deal for a while. I used to use it with my tilt with no problem as well as other phones. But i seem to be running into a brick wall with the g1. No matter what i put in as the apn settings it sends me to the "you must upgrade to the g1 plan."
One of the weird things is that anytime i do this:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: wap.voicestream.com
proxy: 216.155.165.050
port: 8080
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: unchanged from original (http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc)
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Port: 8080
MMC: unchanged (for me it was 310, I believe it is based on your location)
MNC: unchanged (for me it was 260, I believe it is based on your location)
APN type: Not set
and change the apn to http or https it autotomticly cuts off my data. No matter if its 3g or edge. the icon just goes away. is anyone else having this problem?

sorry to reply without any help or solution, i just wanted to ask if you could add the country that you're referring to when you mention T-Mobile in the thread title.
(T-Mobile US / UK / GER / WHEREEVER)
it just helps people quickly see if the thread is any use to them or not, or if they can help.
thanks, sorry i couldn't help though.

i don't have a g-1 but try APN: epc.tmobile.com with no proxy or port. i also have the t-zones plan and use this on my diamond so i don't have to use a proxy server.
for my mms proxy i have always use 216.155.165.50 not .050.
and the MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms.

off topic a bit maybe... but you got iphone 3g to work on tmobiles network?
3g connection?

Nope. Same reason a G1 won't work on AT&T 3G. Doesn't work. It sucks, get over it, move on.

It's offtopic now, but 3g does get working on an unlocked iPhone. I know at least it does with Tmobile. The Gevey sim works flawlessly.

I don't see how that would work- at least not on 3G speeds, AT&T and T-Mobile use different 3G bands.
However, I haven't been in the loop lately, maybe it is possible

i phone well not work with T mobile 3g it is the same as G1 well not work
with ATT 3g

Before you jump to conclusions my kind sir. I wasnt asking because I wanted to do so. I was asking because she said she got it to work. So you get over yourself and move on.
I was curious because I was under the impression that it DIDINT work. However, now you have people here verifying they got it to work.
Anyway, my question was answered.
Geniusdog254, take a chill pill bro.

Really? Where? I see a bunch of he-said she-said but no actual verification.
Edit: I'm also curious about The Jimi Hendrix quote you got wrong in your signature. On purpose?

Ok first off the iphone 3G will work on T-mobile but not at 3G speeds. You will be able to get on the internet but it will only be over EDGE. T-mobile uses 1700mhz and 2100mhz and At&t uses 850mhz for their 3G. The iphone runs off 850mhz for its 3G but also uses 1900mhz for EDGE. Thats why it works on T-mobile.
Back to what OP was asking. You can no longer use t-zones with your G1. T-mobile has blocked that. Thats why you got a message saying you need to upgrade your service. As of right now there is no way around it.

T-Mobile 5.99 Tzones proxy not working

Hey does anyone have the proxy working on their My Touch? For the life of me I can't get it working on the My Touch but it works on other phones.
Here is what I am using

T-Mobile is starting to use your IMEI to determine to "correct" internet package for users. Not sure, but it might be the problem. You can check your account to see if maybe they removed the feature.

t-zone hack wont work on mytouch t-mobile will know what phone you are on with in a few hours and will send you to the web to go not aloud on this phone page i had to change plans to the $24 plan but i made sure i could go back to t-zone $5.99 plan good thing because i am sell my mytouch and wait for the new high power android phones coming out in the next few month

yup Android phones only work with Android data packages.

That's interesting. I'm doing this with AT&T. I wonder if my Roger's IMEI will register on Tmobile...

I think they can pull up any HTC IMEIs, but it's just a guess.

yeah,
i got unlocked htc my touch and it was working with my t-zones for less than a day and then i got message that i have to get $25 plan. Also, I did hard reset and i could not pass start screen with t-zones. I purchased $25 internet for my wife, used her sim card to sign-in and after that my t-zones were not working already. =((((
Is t-zones working with HTC Hero?
Hope I would be able to use android with this cheap mobile internet...

I'm trying to find an android phone that can work with web2go since paying $25 for edge is ridiculous, I've been searching for hours now and no luck, will an European version or any non-t mobile android phone work with the web2go? has any one actually tested it recently?

[Q] Help! Rooted Virgin Mobile Legend can't use data

So I just rooted my HTC Legend using the goldcard method and installed a 2.2 rom, since Virgin is refusing to update the phone themselves. Unfortunatly, I now have NO Data connection. Voice and Text work, but no 3G. After calling a rep, they gave me the APN info, but it still didn't help. They finally said they don't allow "unlocked" phones to use data on the network -- meaning after all the trouble of rooting the phone and upgrading to 2.2 because they WOULDN'T, my phone can't use data! Is there any way around this or any way to return to Virgin's stock rom?
Help!!

Which APN are you using?

i have done exactley the same thing with the gold card method and now i can't get a single bit of data but i haven't gotten as far as calling virgin mobile to ask them about it ..... and i have a friend who has the same phone on the same network not rooted if that helps any but i'm still new to the whole linux i've gone from 6.5 to this ^.^

I had the same problem recently. I am with Bell, but apparently virgin uses the same settings so try going
Menu>Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
then hit Menu and choose New APN. In here enter the settings:
APN: inet.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: h t t p:// mms. bell. ca/ mms/ wapenc (without the spaces)
MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC : 302
MNC : 610
APN type :
then hit menu again and save. When you back out, there should be a radio button beside your new apn to select, so do that. That should give you internet access, or if not try rebooting.
As for wifi, my problem was fixed by reinstalling my router. You can either do this, or go somewhere else and try wifi to see if it works.
Make sure all of your check marks are where they are supposed to be, too

You could also use the pda.bell.ca APN with the same settings as mentioned above. The inet apn is officially used for tethering whereas pda is for mobile browsing (this according to bell). Doesn't really make a difference which one you pick, but I found pda to be slightly faster.

Well, I was trying to fix my apn settings on my sgs2 import because I was not getting mms messages and I used the "Reset to default" feature in the apn menu. I got three new apn settings that replaced the ones I had put in manually. The new ones are: ATT PHONE, ATT WAP, and BROADBAND. The settings seem to match the ones that are commonly sited for AT&T "4g" phones. So my guess is that AT&T recognized something new about my phone and gave me the "new" sgs2 settings. I used to get the Cingular 410 settings. Everything is working fine now.
You may want to just try Reset to default. I have the new AT&T "4g" sim and I am in the DC area just for reference.

Is this something that would make a difference in speed or anything

To anybody on a grandfathered unlimited plan or the data for non-Smart Phones plan don't do this. I did, and like the OP said, it overlayed new default settings. These setting don't work unless you're on a 4G data plan. I lost all data connectivity afterward. I deleted the new (now the default) APN settings and replaced them with a new APN I had to create with the orignal settings. I'm also guessing for this to have happened that AT&T now recognizes the international SGS2 as a 4G phone running on their network. Otherwise, why would the default APN settings suddenly change? I hope this doesn't mean the end of the (almost) free ride we've been getting. So any APN settings posted from the AT&T version of the phone will be useless unless you're being billed for an official 4G plan.
In case anyone needs them, below are the standard settings:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username:[email protected]
Password:CINGULAR1 (yes this is in CAPS)

Just to clarify, I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan, have a 4g sim and had my account changed to the use the 4G SOC code : HSDPPB. So in my case unlimited data and 4g are not mutually exclusive. I am getting the same speeds (6mbs - 8mbs) as I was when I manually entered the recommended setting from the "fix your apn" thread but now my mms is working.
I am not recommending anyone do it or not do it, just sharing my experience.

Anyone on a 4G plan, no matter how they got there, would benefit from the new APN. Anyone on a 3G plan will lose data connectivity. I get up to 8MB down in a fake-4G area using the Cingular 410 APN on a 3G plan. I get 3MB down at home in an area that's not been upgraded.

APN Settings for 3g on AT&T
Hi everyone. I added a new APN using the settings that BarryH_GEG posted. I had just bought the SGS2 I9100 off eBay. It was bought at a great price. Now, when I had put in my Sim card, it was not recognizing the data network. Weird because it showed my Sim contacts and my Sim and Network info in the About the Phone section in Settings. Because of this forum, it now reads my Sim along with the 3G ATT network. I was starting to get pissed, then realized it was just the APN settings. Now everything works great. Best phone I have ever owned. Thanks again BarryH_GEG for the settings info..

I'd been dorking around with my APN settings off and on for the past month... Didn't even consider the "Reset to default" option until reading your post. Worked like a champ. I had the exact same results AT&T Philadelphia area.

For those trying to getthe i9100 ICS XXLPB AT&T settings
After reading many threads, stretching my Google-fu to the limit, flashing many modems, and spending an hour on the phone with AT$T Tech support, I found a solution and will try to pay it forward.
First roll back to XXKPA modem.
Then create two APNs.
The first:
(Enter only the listed values. Leave all other fields at their default values. )
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPV6
APN Type: default,supl,fota,dun
***SAVE!***
Then create the second:
Name: Broadband
APN: Phone
APN Protocol: IPv4
***SAVE!***
Select the radio button for Broadband APN.
Enable and then disable Airplane Mode.
Then you will see the 3g/H+ icons flashing and you are done!

The APN depends on the type of DATA (3G/4G) that is provisioned (SOC) on each individual's account.
1) wap.cingular is the correct APN if your account is provisioned for 3G DATA
2) phone is the correct APN if your account is provisioned for 4G DATA
With regards to the 3G/H/H+ icon that depends on the cell site and not the APN configured on the phone. With GSM technology, the phone tells the cell site this is what I am capable of and the cell site tells the phone what it is capable of and then the phone utilizes the best possible option.
As an example, if the cell site is upgraded to HSPA+ the phone will display H+, if the cell site is only capable of UMTS it would display 3G.

Here is a thread I started a while back that discusses my findings with APNs on AT&T...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413458
Basically, the pta apn worked best and you have to be on the LTE data plan and have an LTE sim to use it. More information is in the thread I posted.

Net10 Sim Issues.....Anybody Else?

I have had my Nexus 4 about a week and a half now. I am trying to decide what service to go with, and I have tired a T-Mobile prepaid sim and am currently attempting to use Net10 Sim with an ATT micro-sim purchased from Best Buy.
I have been having so many data issues with Net10, I would say it is not even usable. My APN settings are below, but doing some internet searches, it seems like there are Data connectivity issues with Net10? I was just going to see if anybody else has experienced this and if they found a way to tweek the APN settings to make this work. Net10 support reps have yet to offer any solution. I go for periods without any data at all while my signal is blue with an H (I am typically on HSPA+ 15 or 10). I cannot use many of my apps that require data and I have to refresh websites multiple times to get it to load.
Do the same issues exist on Straight Talk with the ATT Micro-Sim? I did not have any issues like this with the T-Mobile prepaid sim so I do not believe it is a radio issue. I am trying to find out about ATT through either straight-talk or Net10 since T-Mobile does not have a signal in my wife's school. Thanks!

I've updated this setting. Data is very slow and I am still unable to use some apps that work fine on WiFi such as SatelliteGuys (works after I try several times), XDA (haven't used successfully) & SpeedTest (doesn't work says network communication issues) & DishRemote App (can't login even). Google music seems to work and I can send texts, will try an mms soon. I'm really thinking this is an issue with Net10. I've barely used any data so I don't think I am throttled. Really bad service thus far.
Assuming Straight Talk has the same issues with the ATT service? BTW, I am in the Kansas City metro area, full strength.

i used to have net10 and on some days the internet wouldn't work

Any data interruption, I would say it's AT&T service in your area. NET10 is the same as Straight Talk, once you set your APN and data works, it just works. You may want to check by borrowing a friend's SIM Tmo, AT&T or any compatible network, set the right APN, test, troubleshoot and compare. Another issue could be your radio.
If you input the first proxy, some apps/things won't work and may be blocked from access i.e. speedtest
