I have entered some of these settings into the Connection that MMS seems to be using but I dont know where to put in the
IP Port and Server URL
Can any one help
Thanks
I don't know which version of windows your using as the MMS composer is different in WM2003SE. I can tell you how I got mine working and its a 2 stage process:
Part 1
1. Create a new connection by coing to Start->Settings->Connections and tap on the Connections icon.
2. Tap on the "Advanced" tab and then tap on the "Select Networks" button.
3. Tap on the lower one of the two "New..." buttons, i.e. the one below the "My Work Network" drop down menu.
4.0 On the "General" tab, enter a name of "Virgin MMS".
4.1 On the "Modem" tab, tap on the "New..." button.
4.3 Enter a name for the connection of "Virgin MMS", select a modem type of "Cellular Line (GPRS)" and then tap on the "Next" button.
4.4 Enter an access point name of "goto.virginmobile.uk" and then tap on the "Next" key.
4.5 Enter a user name of "user", ensure that all other fields are empty and then tap on the "Finish" button.
4.6 On the "Proxy Settings" tab, ensure that the "This network connects to the Internet" is NOT ticked" and then tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4.7 In the drop down menu for "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:", change this back to "My Work Network" (or whatever was in this field before you started this process).
5. You can now exit from the Settings screens as Part 1 is complete.
Part 2
1. You need to go into MMS composer.
2. In WM2003SE you need to go into the "Tools->MMS Settings" option.
3.0 On the "Preferences" tab, in the "Connect via:" option, enter/select "Virgin MMS".
3.1 On the "Servers" tab, tap on the "New" button.
3.2 Enter a "Server name:" of "Picture Message"
3.3 Enter a "Gateway:" of "193.30.166.1".
3.4 Enter a "Port number:" of "9201". Don't worry if you don't have a "Port number:" field as the system will default to this anyway.
3.5 Enter a "Server address" of "http://mms.virginmobile.co.uk:8002" and then tap on the "OK" button.
3.6 Tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
That's the end of the two stages and you should now be able to send picture and video messages (I've tried both).
Two things to be aware of:
1. The send/receive does seem to take ages.
2. Don't try to send pictures which aren't JPG or BMP as they won't go and you end up thinking that there's a problem with your config. I speak from experience here.
GPRS settings on Vorgin?
Slightly Off topic but I'm trying to Use my xda 1 with virgin and am trying to get the GPRS set up and am struggling, is it essentially the same settings as these?
Many thanks
Nate :?:
The GPRS setting for internet access only involves 1 stage in order to set it up. It's almost exactly the same as the first part of MMS:
1. Create a new connection by going to Start->Settings->Connections and tap on the Connections icon.
2. Tap on the "Advanced" tab and then tap on the "Select Networks" button.
3. Tap on the upper one of the two "New..." buttons, i.e. the one usually below the "My ISP" drop down menu.
4.0 On the "General" tab, enter a name of "Virgin GPRS".
4.1 On the "Modem" tab, tap on the "New..." button.
4.3 Enter a name for the connection of "Virgin GPRS", select a modem type of "Cellular Line (GPRS)" and then tap on the "Next" button.
4.4 Enter an access point name of "goto.virginmobile.uk" and then tap on the "Next" key.
4.5 Enter a user name of "user", ensure that all other fields are empty and then tap on the "Finish" button.
4.6 On the "Proxy Settings" tab, ensure that the "This network connects to the Internet" is ticked and then tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4.7 In the drop down menu for "Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:", ensure that the "Virgin GPRS" entry is displayed.
5. You can now exit from the Settings screens as your connection set up is now complete. You shouldn't have to do any other config work to use the internet.
Ensure that when you try this connection that you don't have your XDA docked in its cradle or you won't be connecting via GPRS.
Happy surfing.
Thanks mate, thats done it. I have tried almost exactly that and didn't get it quiteright.
Appreciate the help.
Virgin MMS
Have entered this setup info into xda2 But it still wont connect and returns the following message
Dialed:gotovirginmobile.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To
check your connection settings and change
them if needed, tap Settings. If the
problem continues, reset your mobile device
according to your manufactures documentaion
and try again
Help
Thanks
If the above text is exactly what appears on your screen then your problem is easily fixed. It looks like your missing a full stop, i.e. "gotovirginmobile.uk" should be "goto.virginmobile.uk". This is the value you entered in step 4.4 of Part 1.
I tried removing the full stop on my M1000 and I got exactly the same error reported so this should hopefully sort the problem.
Virgin MMS
Sorry my mistake I had put goto.virginmobile.uk in at step 4.4
but omitted it from my previous post
Should the connection for MMS use the same one that internet explorer uses, that one uses one called MOBILE WEB GPRS that appears to have the same setup. Browsing on the internet works OK

Hey guys...
Let me begin by thanking everybody that makes XDA developers the tremendous resource that it is.. It has saved my device on more than one occasion..
Now my problem is that I cant connect on to my University's Wireless config..
They provide us with an Aegis Client which is supposed to work on a PPC 2002/WM 2003 but doesnt work on my Qtek 9100's WM 5.0
I know odyssey client could be configured too... but I really dont want to spend 50 dollars on it (which im not sure works in the first place)
Below are the instructions provided by my Uni.
Configuring Aegis:
Ensure that wireless is enabled.
Tap on the Aegis icon in the lower right corner.
Tap on Client and then Configure.
Add a new profile. Give it any name, such as osuwireless.
In the identity field, type anonymous.
In authentication type, select PEAP.
Under Tunneled authentication:
In the Identity field, type your OSUWireless ID
In the password field type your OSUWireless PIN.
In the Protocol field, select MSCHAPv2.
Select the Server tab:
Uncheck Do not validate server certificate.
Select Equifax Secure Certificate Authority under "Certificate Server". If this is not an option, select Any trusted CA.
In the "Server name must be" box, type ohio-state.edu and select Must contain domain name.
Press OK.
Configuring the wireless network:
Tap on the Wireless Network Utility.
Select Configure from the drop-down menu.
Tap on the osuwireless network to select and choose Move to Configured.
Tap on osuwireless in the configured Networks section and choose Properties
Select the Profile Info tab.
Select osuwirless from the "Authentication profile" pull down menu.
Select the WEP MGMT tab.
Check the Provide encryption key dynamically checkbox.
Select the WPA Settings tab:
WPA Mode = WPA 802.1x
Encryption = TKIP
Tap OK.
Tap OK.
Close the Aegis Client screen.
Your device is ready to use the network.
If you guys can give me another software that could possibly do the same on WM 5.0 please let me know.. Any response would be appreciated..
Thanks..
Hello All,
Im relatively new to all this so please take it easy on me .
I have recently purchased an XDA2s and am awaiting delivery. I am planning on using an O2 PAYG sim with it (300 texts or 100 any network calls).
I have contacted O2 and have been informed that I will get the net etc on it, but as far as emails are concerned I will not be able to retrieve emails from a pop3 box or send them ( unless sent as a normal email in which case my phone number would appear ).
Could anyone tell me if this is 100% true or if there is indeed a bypass which would allow me to send and recieve emails from a or more pop3 box(s) without the need to go contract.
Thank you, Regards,
Tom.

It is true what they say, on O2 contract you have to connect to the 'mobile web' via GPRS to send and receive emails but on O2 pay as you go you cannot do this. The best thing you can do is sod the O2 pay as you go and join Orange's pay as you go equivalent -300 texts, 1 MB free GPRS per month for a 10 quid top up per month (same as O2), you can send and receive pop emails and connect to the proper web and also choose to have unlimited GPRS for 24 hrs (12pm to 11.59pm) for 1 pound a go.
Hi Padlad,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I am currently unsure on whether the XDA2s I am due to get is currently unlocked. I am also a little untrusting shops ( when it comes to this much monies worth ). How would I unlock it if it turned out not to be already unlocked to all networks?
And also where would the settings be so I could use all the services such as email, web, msn messenger etc etc on the orange PAYG network.
Regards,
Tom.

There is a small program on this site that will unlock your xda2s, just do a search for it and have a good read about how to do it! As for the settings these are the ones i used, i did not write these, i got them from this site:
STEP 1
The first step is to go into Start > Settings > Connections, and then click on the Connections icon itself.
You should then see a screen, with two main sections, relating to "MY ISP", and lower down, "My Work Network" (don't panic if it says "MMS Network for the lower one - this can be changed by going into the Advanced tab on the lower part of the screen, and choosing from a drop down list).
Start with the "My ISP" section, by clicking on the "Manage existing connections" link.
This will bring a screen up with the existing O2 settings listed. Now this is where you have a choice... You can either set up the orange settings as a NEW set, or you can just EDIT the existing O2 settings to change them to Orange. My instructions are based on a NEW set, which I feel is safer.
So... Click on the word "NEW" and we will work through it.
Firstly, call the connection name "Orange GPRS" without the quotes.
In the "Select a modem" drop down, choose "Cellular Line (GPRS)" <don't miss the GPRS bit there!>
Then we need to click on the "Next" button.
The access point name is "orangeinternet" with no quotes or spaces.
Then click "NEXT" again.
The username, password, domain, can all be left blank, but we need to click the "ADVANCED" button now...
We do not need to alter the TCP/IP settings, but we DO need to alter the Servers, so click on the "SERVERS" tab at the bottom.
Next, click the "Use Specific Server Address" radio button (the second of the two).
And enter the following details:
DNS: 158.43.192.1
Alt DNS: 158.43.128.1
Then click OK, to take you back to the last screen.
And at this point, you can click "FINISH" to create the settings. Well done so far. And then click the OK circle in the top corner, to come out of the "My ISP" settings.
STEP 2
You should now be at the Connections screen, with "My ISP", and "My Work Network" showing. Now we need to click on the "manage existing connections" link under "MY WORK NETWORK" this time, as we have already done the "My ISP" one.
So, click the lower one, "Manage existing connections" and we'll work through this...
A screen will pop up, with the existing O2 WAP network settings shown.
Again, I find it best to create a NEW connection, so click that button now.
Give the connection the name "Orange CSD WAP" (this is the older style dial up one we are doing first, GPRS WAP comes next).
For the modem type, choose "Cellular Line" this time (NOT the gprs version - just simple Cellular Line).
Then. click the "NEXT" button.
Enter the number as "+447973100500" without the quotes, and then click "NEXT"
Right, things get a bit iffy here, because of course, when I went to see what my settings were, the password was asterisked out ****
I THINK I know what it is though, and it seems to both fit and work, so go with my suggestion, but if anyone knows any different, please post it here.
The username is "Orange" without quotes, but I think with a capital O.
The password is "orangemultimedia" all one word, no spaces or caps or quotes - it seems to work for me for MMS (coming later) however, but I never bother with CSD WAP, so haven't put it to a full test.
The Domain can be left blank.
We don't need enter anything more, or any advanced settings, so just click on "FINISH" to complete setting up the older style CSD WAP settings.
We should now be back to the "My work Settings" screen, with your new settings also listed. We need to set up the more usual GPRS WAP now though, so once again, click the "NEW" button to set a new lot up.
Give the connection the name "Orange GPRS WAP" so it's easy to identify, and for modem type choose "Cellular Line (GPRS)" - note the gprs IS chosen this time. Then click the "NEXT" button.
The access point name is "orangewap" all one word without the quotes. Then click "NEXT".
There are no username, passwords, or domain settings to enter, nor any DNS etc, so you can now simply click on "FINISH" to save these settings.
Then you can click the "OK" circle in the corner, to exit the work settings screen.
We are now back to the Connections screen, with "My ISP", and "My Work Network" shown.
We need to set up MMS now, but the screen only shows two connections, so we need to click on the "ADVANCED" tab at the bottom now.
A couple of buttons will now appear, including one that says "SELECT NETWORKS", so click on that now.
Two drop down menus should then appear, and the bottom one will be the "My Work Network" connection. Click on this, to choose instead, "MMS Network", and then click the "EDIT" button to continue.
Now you should see the fairly familiar settings screen, but this time with the O2 settings for MMS or O2 WAP listed.
Click the "NEW" button to continue.
Call the new connection "Orange MMS" without quotes, and the modem type is again "Cellular Line (GPRS)". Then click "NEXT".
The access point name is "orangemms" without spaces or quotes. And then again, click "NEXT".
The username is "Orange", the password I THINK is again "orangemultimedia" all one word, no quotes (if anyone knows different post here, but it seems to work for me).
Once this is entered, there are no advanced settings to configure, so simply click the "FINISH" button to continue on.
You should then be dropped back to the list of MMS settings. Make sure at this point that the new "Orange MMS" item is the one that has the radio button checked.
Now just click the round "OK" button in the corner to continue.
You will be back to the Network Management screen with the two drop down boxes. It is VERY important it seems, at this point, to make sure that for the lower box, you change the drop down item back to "My Work Network" before continuing - so make sure you choose that now for the lower box, and then click the round "OK" button in the corner.
You will then be back to the Connections screen, but on the advanced tab, so click the "TASKS" tab instead to get back to the usual screen, where "MY ISP" should be the top set of options/links, and "My Work Network" should be the lower set.
Go into "Manage existing connections" for each one, respectively, just to check that the radio button is ticked for the ORANGE settings, and not the old O2 ones, for each of these (MY ISP, then My Work Network). (NOTE - Sometimes, for a pass-thru connection using ActiveSync, I find that the option "Auto Pick" needs to be the one checked, so remember where it is now, in case you need come back to it in future).
Once you have made sure it is using the new ORANGE settings for each that you have just created (use the GPRS WAP, not the CSD WAP, for the Work Network connection), then click "OK", "OK", and then the X to come out of this, and back to the Today Screen. At this point we are nearly finished (thank the lord), but we have one last thing to set up, and this is the killer, hidden away and oft forgot about...
STEP 3
Now we need to finally configure an intricate setting within MMS, for it to work properly. To do this, click on the Today screen, to create or view your MMS messages, simply to get the MMS editor to open up.
Once you are within the MMS editor itself, there should be two menu items on the bottom of the screen - NEW, and TOOLS.
Click Tools > Options now.
This will bring you into the Options interface, but on the PREFERENCES tab. We need the "SERVERS" tab, so click on that, at the bottom, now.
There should be only one item, the O2 settings, then listed. I don't know any way to ADD a NEW set, so instead we just click/press on the O2 settings one, to go into that, and make the changes to this set.
Firstly, call the server name "Orange MMS" without the quotes.
The gateway address is vital. It is: 192.168.224.10
Finally, the server address is "http://mms.orange.co.uk/" without the quotes.
Click on "OK" and this will drop you back to the Options screen. Now click on the PREFERENCES tab.
Now we can set this up properly.
"Connect via" should be changed, or read "MMS Network" form the drop down list.
"Connect to server" should be changed, or read, so that it is now the new "Orange MMS" settings.
Retrieve messages immediately should be ticked.
Sending limitations should be 40K I am told (though this seems strange for video messaging).
Depending on whether you have the newest ROM upgrade or not, if you have the new, there will only be one item to change to 40K. If you have an older ROM, you need to set 40K for both the SEND, and the RECEIVE limit.
No. of attempts before aborting seems to be a matter of choice - I tend to use "1" for the option here.
On newer ROMS there is also a box for "Download on home network only". If you tick this, it means you WON'T receive MMS when roaming. I seem to recall before my upgrade last night that this item is not there on older ROMS.
Once you have set this up, click the "OK" circle, then the X to come out of the MMS Editor, back to the Today screen.
And WELL DONE - you are finished.
Try connecting to the Internet on your XDA2, and check that it 'dials' an Orange GPRS connection.
Then try sending and receiving an MMS. And then finally, make sure you have an ActiveSync pass-thru to the internet when the XDA2 is docked on the cradle too.
All being well, you should have a fully functioning XDA2, but using the Orange network to go with your SIM (assuming of course you unlocked it).
I hope this post has been useful (if not very lengthy), and any feedback or amendments, or questions, please post below - though I can't be held liable for any issues that result from it!
I should add that Orange SMS centre number, and Voicemail number, is automatically retrieved from the Netowrk when you have an Orange SIM in.
If you have any problems though, click Start > Settings > Phone, and then the Services tab.
There you can alter the usual stuff like call bariing etc, BUT, if you click the "Get Settings" button, it should retrieve the SMS centre, and voicemail number automatically.
Just saw this posted for the unlock software: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24779&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Padlad,
Excellent . Although the link at the bottom there when followed put me off a little when it read MIGHT BREAK IT etc etc.
Im not exactly sure which one mine is. I know its the XDA2s but is it wallaby, alpine etc etc ??????? :?:
Im just going to have to hope that this phone is indeed unlocked. lol. Many thanks again, im just off now Sim card hunting
Regards,
Tom.
the device will be locked by default, however the all in one unlocking tool in the upgrading section should help sort that out.
rgds
Jim
Not to worry about this thread anymore.
I unlocked it on saturday ( i think it was ) evening. The unlocking tool worked a treat.
I am now trying to help a friend find an XDA2s with the same rom and radio versions as well as model number, only because I know the unlocking tool works for mine.
many regards to both of you for your help.

Tom.
Hello, I was just curious as to if there is a way to surf the web on your T-wing without the 19.99 data plan. I used to have the Tmobile Web on my tweaked Nokia 5300, and Sony Ericcson w600i and I accessed some site pretty well using OperaMini. I had desktop views of myspace and other websites.
I was also able to use my phone a modem when I was away from home (by re-configuring my browser).
Wondering if there is a way to configure the wing to use the same access ports as those other phones, rather than pay a whooping 19.99 for total internet plan, when my home cable internet is only $29.99.
Any help.....mods please delete this thread if it violates the rules.
I don't believe so...
Around last July, TMo began to upgrade their security and block the t-zones access for 3rd party apps. By September, even the $5.99 plan wouldn't allow Opera Mini or Google Maps to work. Even port scanning voicestream.com from my computer came back blocked. I eventually broke down and got the $19.99 plan. I just cut my minutes back, and text and Skype over EDGE to make up the difference. The Total Internet plan used to be $29.99 so it could be worse, I guess. Do those settings still work on you Nokia? If they do, what are they and I will test them. All the ports under 216.155.165.050 have been blocked in markets that have been upgraded to EDGE.
I strongly disagree because up until the end of Jan 08, I still accessed most websites with my nokia 5300 just having the 5.99 tmobile web feature. Of course, T-MObile sold the phone to me and locked access to/with third party software. I called them for support, and they would not help. They asked me to call Nokia. I called Nokia and they told me to call me phone company. So I said, F--k it!!!
And I went the hacking route. And Lo!!! I could access the internet. And that's what I'm looking for with the wing right now. I talked to a tech guy with T-Mobile and he wouldn't tell me much, but from what he told me, it seems the data plan is just a scam.....an excuse to give you the same thing for more money just cause you have a more expensive and "more capable" phone.
We'll see...
Good luck
Well I have,
ap = Internet2.Voicestream.com or wap.voicestream.com
proxy = 216.155.165.050
port = 8080
dns = 216.155.175.105
alt dns = 216.155.175.106
You will have to change back to the original settings if you need to access email, and this should allow IE and some 3rd party apps to to work. I need my email for work and it's too much of a hassle for me. These work where I have GPRS but not where I have EDGE. Maybe you"ll have better luck than me.
I was still able to access websites with my p900 using opera 8, but not opera mini. And opera mini on my hacked V3 just stopped working overnight. Were you browsing with opera or the internal browser?

Thanks for your responsee....are these settings for the T-wing or just a regular phone?
Should be any phone, they are network settings not phone specific. You can try wap.voicestream.com too.
This might article help you with your laptop as well.

I can get it working without any problem
Working for me also
I have a Dash and a Wing on T-mobile, I use the $5.99/mo data plan w/ a proxy. I have never had a problem running 3rd party apps except Google Maps. I am able to use Google Maps, however I occasionally get a message about not being able to connect to the internet. If you could tell the application which connection to use (like you can w/ PIE or Email), I don't think any apps would have problems accessing the internet.

You mean Tmobile web (5.99) on the Wing?

I'm using the Open Touch rom, and I tried configuring the proxy last week, but failed. Could you show me the process of changing the proxy settings.
I went to Settings> Connections> Connections >
then there's the TMobile Data with 3 options:
- Add a new modem connection
- Set up my proxy server
-Manage existing connections
It is after here that I get lost becos i chose manage proxy server and it would not do the trick for me.
Review the following steps and see if these help, found from my cheat sheet. With the original TMobile Wing, I just focus step 24-29.
1. Open up your keyboard and get out your stylus because it will make it easier
2. Start menu --> Settings
3. Go to 'Connections' tab
4. Then click on Connections app
5. Select 'Set up my proxy server'
6. Select the 'General' tab
7. On the general tab, name it "WAP" (or anything, really, that's just what I used) -- if you haven't messed
with this before, it will say "My Work Network"
8. Select the 'Modem' tab
9. Click on New...
10. Name the connection "Tzones" (again, that's what I used)
11. Under modem, select 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'
12. Click Next
13. Under access point name, type "wap.voicestream.com"
14. Click Next
15. Leave "User name", "Password", and "Domain" blank (not a space, but blank)
16. Click on Advanced...
17. On the 'TCP/IP' tab, ensure "Use server-assigned IP address" is checked and that nothing else is
checked or filled-in
18. On the 'Servers' tab, ensure "Use server-assigned addresses" is checked and that nothing else is checked
or filled-in
19. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
20. Click Finish
21. Select the 'VPN' tab and make sure there is nothing here
22. Select the 'Proxy Settings' tab
23. Check the box "This network connects to the Internet"
24. Then you can check the box that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
25. Then type into the Proxy server box: 216.155.165.50:8080
26. Click on Advanced...
27. Click on "HTTP"
28. The server should read 216.155.165.50
29. Change the port number to 8080
30. Leave "User name", "Password", and "Domain" blank (not a space, but blank)
31. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
32. And do the "ok" thing again
33. And "ok" one more time
34. Notice 1: at the top of the screen, it should say "WAP" (or whatever name you chose in step 7)
35. Notice 2: where before it said 'Set up my proxy server' now it should read 'Edit my proxy server' -- just
FYI, don't touch

Review the following steps and see if these help, found from my cheat sheet. With the original TMobile Wing, I just focus step 24-29.
1. Open up your keyboard and get out your stylus because it will make it easier
2. Start menu --> Settings
3. Go to 'Connections' tab
4. Then click on Connections app
5. Select 'Set up my proxy server'
6. Select the 'General' tab
7. On the general tab, name it "WAP" (or anything, really, that's just what I used) -- if you haven't messed
with this before, it will say "My Work Network"
8. Select the 'Modem' tab
9. Click on New...
10. Name the connection "Tzones" (again, that's what I used)
11. Under modem, select 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'
12. Click Next
13. Under access point name, type "wap.voicestream.com"
14. Click Next
15. Leave "User name", "Password", and "Domain" blank (not a space, but blank)
16. Click on Advanced...
17. On the 'TCP/IP' tab, ensure "Use server-assigned IP address" is checked and that nothing else is
checked or filled-in
18. On the 'Servers' tab, ensure "Use server-assigned addresses" is checked and that nothing else is checked
or filled-in
19. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
20. Click Finish
21. Select the 'VPN' tab and make sure there is nothing here
22. Select the 'Proxy Settings' tab
23. Check the box "This network connects to the Internet"
24. Then you can check the box that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
25. Then type into the Proxy server box: 216.155.165.50:8080
26. Click on Advanced...
27. Click on "HTTP"
28. The server should read 216.155.165.50
29. Change the port number to 8080
30. Leave "User name", "Password", and "Domain" blank (not a space, but blank)
31. Click "ok" in the top right corner (or press the OK button next to your space bar)
32. And do the "ok" thing again
33. And "ok" one more time
34. Notice 1: at the top of the screen, it should say "WAP" (or whatever name you chose in step 7)
35. Notice 2: where before it said 'Set up my proxy server' now it should read 'Edit my proxy server' -- just
FYI, don't touch
36. Click on the 'Advanced' tab
37. Click on "Select Networks"
38. Under both drop-down boxes, choose "WAP" (or the name you chose in step 7) -- I'm not sure the 2nd

I have followed these steps and configured my device just as you said, but at this point I haven't tried it out......I just wanted you to know that I REALLY appreciate the effort typing out 40 steps to help out.......Hope someone else benefits fro this too.....
I'mm off to try it now...
THANKS
IT worked!!!! Even with GoogleMaps
I think I lied......I'm probably not the best person to leave in a chemical lab alone....may blow things up.
Ok. I had the settings as above and I totally forgot that although I had switched internet features from Data Plan to TMobile Web, the change had not been effective.
However, when the change became effective at the turn of the day, yesterday, there was no more connection for me......anyone knows what possibly happened?
I was out of the country for about 6 months and used to use $5.99 T-Mo Web all the time on my Hermes and Wizards. I just called them to re-add it because it's not listed on the My T-Mobile website anymore. They did add it but no sites are loading. Maybe they did block the 216.155.165.050 proxy? This is frustrating, I think $20/month is too much for crappy Edge speeds anyway. I've had a 3G phone for a year and have not once ever been on 3G. If I can't get this $5.99 plan to check my gmail somehow in the next few days, I'm calling them back to cancel it.

Big problem I think a lot of people are having is the proxy settings and port number. sometimes if you use the network wizard to configure your settings, you get (216.155.165.050) that is wrong! it should be (216.155.165.50)! that extra (0) before the (50) has caused a lot of people to have an unusable connection. also make sure the port settings are (8080) and not (80) that too seems to have caused problems.

Absolutly correct. The proxy must be 216.155.165.50, not 050, they are two totally different address'. The port must be 8080 and not just 80, again, different address' all together. I have been using the proxy trick to access the internet. I have used it for about a year now and I have a super fast connection and have access to my emails. Only limitation I have found with the proxy trick is there is no youtube to watch!
I live in Orlando Fl and I use the internet everyday.
Can you still send mms messaging? I noticed when I did this with my wifes Wing, she couldn't send or recieve picture messages. But the proxy works great on my Shadow with no problems what so ever.

yes, no problems whatsoever with mms. just make sure the above settings are correct.
does tmo still offer the 5.99 for the wing? I cannot find the option to add it in my plan / service option on the website

and alas, i as well must thank you... for you rigorous instructions have helped me not once, but twice!
that aside:
bowlopho, the only way now (i think they're trying to hide it) is on t zones itself. the little one. when it shows plans and what not. i did the same not 3 days ago and and found i could only add it on tzones. the site is offering a new tzones premium... ha! YEAH RIGHT.
Have you ever noticed that it takes a month of Sundays for your Windows Mobile phone to... actually connect to the server and start downloading? Watch for it the next time you go to a website with your phone.
From my experiences with AT&T, it's because their DNS services suck giant... coconuts. They're overloaded, slow, and take forever to respond to a query. (For those that don't know, a DNS server is like a phone book, it converts domains (names) like www.google.com into IP addresses (phone numbers) like 74.125.67.100)
By changing the DNS servers for my MEdia Net connection, pages begin loading up to 30 seconds faster. It's not a speed boost speed wise, but it greatly shortens the time you're waiting for the page to pop up.
Directions for Windows Mobile 6.5:
1. Click "Start"
2. Click "Settings"
3. Click "Connections"
4. Open "Connections"
5. Choose "Manage Existing Connections"
6. Choose your connection (In my case, MEdia Net)
7. Click "Edit"
8. Hit "Next" twice until you get to a page asking for a User Name and Password. DON'T CHANGE THIS or you will lose your data connection! (view attachment)
9. Click the "Advanced" button. This opens up the TCP/IP settings. DON'T CHANGE THIS (view attachment)
10. Select the "Servers" tab. This is where you change your DNS server. Set to "Use Server-Assigned Addresses" to use your carrier's servers. (view attachment)
11. Select "Use Specific Server Addresses" and enter your DNS server addresses. I have personally had great luck with:
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
4.2.2.6
I personally use 4.2.2.2 because it's easier to remember. There are many other public DNS servers out there, just Google! (view attachment)
12. Hit "OK", and if the connection is open, you will get a dialog asking to save. Click "Yes" (view attachment)
13. TEST IT OUT!
-------------
I'm very interested in seeing how many other people report connection speed decreases by changing their DNS servers. This weekend, I was at a racetrack near Green Bay, Wisconsin and I couldn't connect to any websites at all. The connection kept timing out. I became curious, changed the DNS to 4.2.2.2 from default, and I had instant connections.
Well, I'm on tmobile Edge connection and everything is fine for me so i can't feel your pain. have you tried skyfire browser to browse or are you talking about downloading emails?
