8525 on T-mobile

Anyone using this successfully ? I'm looking to buy this phone, want to make sure someone is happy with the phone on the T-mobile network first.

a lot of members are using tmobile w/ unlocked 8525...works great for me in CA, NV, TX, etc....

works great for me, running WM6. only issue is i can't use mms for some reason. doesn't send or receive. also IE crashes when trying to log into sites like gmail.com

update: I finally got MMS to finally work.

I'm using mine on T-Mobile in Colorado, works great! Just go to the t-mobile site and find the wireless configurator, choose the HTC Wing as your phone and use those settings.

i'm using it t-mobile Oklahoma

Great phone
I have an 8525 sim and CID unlocked and use it everywhere in the world! In the USA, I'm on T-Mobile, but currently I've been on China Mobile for 4 months and the phone works great! Many people here have HTC phones, I used to think of WM6 as for techies, but lots of people have it!

I've never had a crash on any website using PIE, and I'm on the internet often. Could be your rom's security, cache, memory, etc. settings.

Im using a 8525 with t-mobile in Florida. So far, I had been working some days, some others no, regarding the internet access. At this moment, is not working... and im here, in xda... looking for ways to do it... i ran almost every cab to configure, remove settings and run again new versions and nothing... i keep searching for the solution...
this forum is very helpful. i think i will have it working.
t-mobile support is very unresponsive, i got tired of call them and have the same stupid answer that the problem must be my phone because is not a t-mobile phone... instead to send me to somebody that really knows the values to put in it

'
Known internet issue in Florida right now - Don't waste your time configuring, you are being blocked on the Network via T-Mobiles firewall as you are using a 3G enabled phone (even with 3g "disabled) -- once t-mo finishes testing (should be soon), your phone will work again. Read the thread below, 13 pages on the Florida issue.

help to flash wing and etc

I have a wing, I have no idea how to do anything on it but make calls, and send text messages. I am using it on AT&T and was wondering if someone could help me out and explain what you can and can not do as well as how to get rid of all the t-mobile stuff and make the phone more compatible with at&t. Thanks

well i dont know why u have a wing on ATT instead of a tilt but im not saying anything but the phone is pretty much compatible with ATT but certain network features are needed to be changed. there is a program called network wizard it will make you phone able to connected to Att, the only thing is that the wing is not a 3g compatible phone so u will be connecting to the ****ty edge connection

I want to find app

Hi everybody, I want to know what android app can enable vibration alert when the phone call is being connected. Please let me know, many thanks!

What do you mean by connected?
USB?, Wifi? or GPRS

What he means is when you call someone he want the phone to vibrate when they pick up or when you hit there voice mail.
Most HTC wm phone has this function.

My desire does this when the user is busy I think..
If that is not the reason then I have no idea :-\

I mean phone call connected

It is the same feature that the stock Hero has.
It is when you call someone or get a call, when the call is connected and the sound is coming through, then the phone vibrates a few ms.
This is just to let you know that you are ready to talk
I would like that also

My factory-unlocked Desire on O2 does that by default...
K7

So does mine. I bought an unlocked one.

Yup my unbranded desire already does this too.. when a call connects the phone vibrates a short pulse.

Thanks everybody reply my post!
I have asked the HTC CS service Hotline, they recommended me that try to Hard Reset the Desire, because the phone had this function, maybe I installed the third parties software disabled the vibrate function.
I will try it later.

I have the same problem. I have a Desire with T-Mobile Branding. No vibration! I don´t know why.

I've got an unlocked Desire and it only vibrate when connected to the mail box!
Any news to get it vibrating for all calls?

MMS problems with Straight Talk

Ok so i got rid of tmobile and went with straight talk so i can take full advantage of my tab. First impressions with straight talk, not very good mainly in the customer service department it took me 5 calls and over an hour on the phone with them just so they could port one of my phone numbers from tmobile, the second one was no issue. I guess is true what they say "you get what you pay for".
Well calls do seem to work up to now with no issues, but the problem i have now is with MMS messaging, i am not able to send any at all. I checked my VPN and i do have internet+mms so i dont think thats the problem. Has anybody experienced any issues with sending MMS? Your help would be most appreciated.

I have the same issue, no answer yet from ST. Been a week now.
Got the BYOD sim from ST for my Tmobile phone, ported number with no issue. Internet, calls, text work fine, just no mms.

I finally got it to work, i was using the wrong sim, activated a tmobile compatible sim(pink), i ordered the sim for unbranded unlocked gsm devise(blue), of course when you order online you dont get to choose the color. Make sure you order the wright sim. Do you have a pink or blue sim?

Galaxy Note UK T-Mobile SMS issue - help

Hi UK Note users with T-mobile,
I don't know whether you also have the same problem: the note can receive SMS but cannot send SMS when it is in T-mobile orange signal, I wil have to manually change it back to t-mobile before SMS can be sent. Could please somebody offer a solution for this isssue/bug? Thanks in advance.

Mine has been fine on several stock roms. My phone came sim free. Is yours locked and are you using stock radio etc?

I have a similar problem. SMS says its sent but there is a spinning circle next to the message. The recipient gets some messages but others turn up later. Having read the T-Mobile help pages, I think you have to turn on data roaming. This is what I am going to turn today. But remember to turn it off if you go abroad.

Thanks for your reply. The phone is originally from O2 monthly tariff (unlocked). I simply use my t-mobile SIM card. The current Android version is 2.3.6, firmware version is 2.6.35.7-N7000xxkka, it is rooted. I am using handcent SMS app but the stock SMS app has the same problem. The data roaming is ON already.

Thanks for your reply, it is with official rom, rooted. Problem still exist.

Still doing the same thing, says sent but icon spinning when connected to T-Mobile Orange. It re sends later once its back on the T-Mobile only signal. so the person gets 2 sms messages :-(

Don't want to step too far out of my knowledge here but not had a problem at all on the sim free version, but worth installing the Carphone Warehouse rom from development?

No problems here.
This will sound stupid but try outting in another network sim. Booting up and installing the seyting from that network. Then outting your tmob sim back in and reinstalling the settings.
Works to solve quite a few probs on samsung ohones

I'm on T-Mobile here and not noticed any issues as it switches between it and Orange. I use Go SMS, everything works fine for me, but round here the T-Mobile signal is generally pretty good.

Me too I'm on T-Mobile and mostly use T-Mobile-Orange Signal as we have orange transmitters in place at work.
Never had an issue at all..
I too use Go SMS though...
Try that maybe.

Have you tried to re-set your SMSC? (SMS Message Center)
Couldn't find anymore the thread on XDA explaining it, but found this link : http://blog.empirion.co.uk/android/setting-the-smsc-sms-message-centre-in-android-ics/
Give it a try

Have you tried t-mobile page for sending settings to your phone?
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS
Worked for me on another phone where i needed internet settings.
On the note i have used many ICS roms recently and never had issue with sending sms.

I think mine is fixed, following the advice above, I swapped out my sim for a Vodafone one, then after it booted, switched off and put my T-Mobile sim back in, now sending once only.

Solved!

Its Smspopup causing the problem for me. Disabled and all is well.

Mine is an O2 contract Note that came unlocked and unbranded. I'm almost constantly on T-Mobile-Orange (much to my annoyance) but I never have any issues sending SMS. I currently use Chomp SMS but I've also used stock and GoSMS with the same success. Is your SIM card particularly old? That's the only thing I can think might be the problem unless there's some weird fault with your phone but it seems unlikely. The only other thing is that perhaps there's a fact with the Orange transmitter in your area. Does the problem occur elsewhere?

It is possible that the problem is caused by the 'old sim card'. The sim card is originally a 3 UK PAYG one and I just port the number. I shall discuss this issue with T-mobile and to see if they can issue me a new SIM card.
