Im a little confused about the part where you change your apn to use tethering, but do you always have to change it back to hsdpa to use the 4g or can i just leave it at tether free and still have the same internet speed?

hey all,
Quick question, is it possible to block the D810 from using Optus 3G network to connect to the net?
I only want to use Wifi due to the charges that optus dish out when using their network.
Any ideas?
Thanks heaps
Hello,
I had the same problem with the 3G because when I open a internet explorer, it connects automatically to the 3G network.
The solution is on the forum : take a program named Bandswitch that allows you to turn off 3G, HSDPA, GPRS etc. That will save you some money and autonomy for your Trinity
hey,
thanks for the reply.
Does the program also stop connection to send MMS though?
thanks
ok cancel the question.
I actually called Optus (and the guy was helpful!!! OMG!!) all sorted.
Just deleted the Optus setting in the ISP and that is all, still can send MMS's but no net access.
thanks.
For anyone else interested, the answer to the earlier post is that Bandswitch can be set to allow/disallow each of the connections individually, so you can block the Mobile Internet APN, but still allow MMS and/or WAP depending on how things are configured by your Telco.
I am using a Wizard with WM6 and internet sharing wizard to connect to the internet. It works alright. Sometimes though, it will take forever to access the any sort of internet resources. I'm wondering what the cause of this is. Is it just GPRS lag? I also have a Mobile Broadband card in my laptop, rather then just activate my cingular card I'd rather just pop my T-Mobile SIM in there and get the service. I know that I don't need to unlock this card because when I stick it in the slot and restart my computer, the utility I use to connect the card to the internet picks it up as if it was a T-Mo SIM and the T-Mo GPRS/EDGE networks. Although when I connect to it, it says I'm connected, but I can't access any web pages. The utility also says I'm sending data but not receiving any. Any ideas? The card is a Dell Wireless 5520 Cingular Mobile Broadband Card. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
try changing your server settings?
Maybe try changing the server from internet2.voicestream.com to internet3.voicestream.com or vice-versa.
Also, you may need to have the t-mobile internet plan for you to get full web page access. This is currently $30 per month I think. Maybe you already have this?
Good luck
methinks the problem lies in that you have a tmo sim but a cingular mobile broadband card.
Tired more things.
As far as trying APN's I have tried internet2.voicestream.com; internet3.voicestream.com; wap.voicestream.com
We have a full data plan that allows full access to the internet which is used to access our exchange server for emails and contacts. I have used the internet sharing wizard to play world of warcraft from my phone. I'm hoping that means that I have a full access plan. internet3.voicestream.com doesn't work on my phone for a network plan but the others do. I have also tired to use my T-Mo SIM in my wireless broadband card as a modem connection, I've found that if I connect using the call numbers that people are using for their phones modem tethering and no login credentials like you're supposed to do to initiate modem tethering. I don't get any response from the remote computer. But then I start to use some of the modem strings I get as far a Registering on the Network before my modem connection terminates! Thats the last step! do you think I could dial it as a modem connection if I had the correct int string?

I read somewhere that somewhere someone was able to do this but they didn't really go all in depth about it. They said to leave the login credentials empty and use the t-mobile apn. Just like you do when configuring the networks on your T-Mo phone. I also and another question. Is there a difference between using wap.voicestream.com vs. internet(2 or 3).voicestream.com? I read somewhere that there is a proxy on wap.voicestream.com, but when I looked for the forum I read that on I wasn't able to find it.
t-mobile internet (2or3).voicestream.com
I recently got the hotspots service (added for free) and in that process they told me that I had to change my apn to internet2.voicestream.com. It was internet3.voicestream.com.
Incidentally, you can add the hotspots at not extra charge if your already on the $29.99 internet plan. you just have to ask them to switch you to the mobile internet with the hotspots.
I'm still waiting for my tmobile mda to arrive and I have some questions about it. When your using aim or other instant chatting programs, how do you know if their connection is through wifi instead of the expensive tmobile data network? Does the internet explorer use the data network or wifi? I'm just want to know so I avoid getting a 200 page bill from tmobile. Thanks
good question, because t mobile default program it to connect through thier expensive network. i removed my t mobile settings and set up my router with a wep key to allow my mda to the net.
if you need more help please let me know
does any one know how to get free internet on a tmobile wing without already have the internet.
Either get a data plan or connect via wifi. Thats it.
i tried the wifi it it wont work for some reason
what rom are you using?
do you need permission from the network to log on?
Check you security?
Depending on how long you have had T-Mobile service it use to be T-Zones, T-Mobile Web and today is web2go. I continue to have T-Mobile Web at $5.99. Okay, the only changes you need to concern yourself with web2go is the APN; it is no longer wap.voicestream.com and configure the proxy. Today it is simply; epc.tmobile.com and you don't have to bother doing anything else except download the Network .CAB or do it manually yourself. Today there are more data plans than you can shake a stick at and the bottom line, they are more expensive today than before and you may have to experiment with what works for you.
The $5.99 plan works fine. It's not 3G, but EDGE is faster now that it is on the updated APN. There is the HotSpot Utility for places like Starbucks and airports and finally there is Wi-Fi. If you're using strictly a "wired" access router you will need to buy a way to make your connection wireless. If like AT&T's 2Wire routers which like mine are wireless check to see if your security is enabled. My 2Wire965 came defaulted enabled but can be disabled. If enabled you're going to need that information and add those settings to your Wing/Herald which will prompt you for those settings once you configure wi-fi via the communication manager.
I hope this helps; take care!
My wi-fi tethering suddenly stopped working and it goes directly to the tmobile website saying i now need to pay $14.99. I called t-mobile and they said my hd2 doesnt support wi-fi tethering and no I cant even pay the 14.99 fee.
Does anyone know whats going on?
You can try changing the apn to the internet2.voicestream.com and see if that works. I was throttled and they apparently don't throttle the internet2 apn. Worth a shot!
how do you change the apn ?
