I have an unlocked MDA device with the data posted in my sig as to the ROM etc.............
I have service with CENTENNIAL and want to set up the device for internet etc.............I have the data enabled from the carrier but they dont sell this device
What do I need to know and do to set up the device to pick up data from the GPRS net..............
Anyone please help, also is there a "generic ROM" for this device etc
Starting from scratch........OR can I just use the device to dial up my earthlink provider and access the net and email that way?
well just get the wap config from them and if they use proxies and that should be all
I got the information after about three calls, seems folks dont like you to use a phone from another company and skurp thier data, (which you pay for LOL!)
CENTENNIAL WIRELESS
VPN private.centennialwireless.com
USER privuser
PW priv
That was entered/subsituted for the T Mobile information under the communcations area setup......
This took me hours to figure out as there is no data
I can now surf internet and GET email from EARTHLINK but having trouble sending email via hte device, it says none of the addresses are good, so I have to see what setting there I need......etc
THanks

Hey,
I've owned my TMO wing for a whie now, and I want to know if anybody has a WLM that doesn't need a WiFi Connection. I do not always have a wireless connection and would love it if someone could find me an app that lets me use TMO's connection and use my Texts.
As, TMO has a program by OZ that uses their connection and uses SMS. I don't mind as I have Unmetered SMS

I uploaded WLM a while ago on this forum, works with T-Mobile's Internet, i use it to. No Wireless connection needed!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324460 Download it there!
This one still requires that T-Mobile Internet package which is $20.00 extra a month, I jsut want one like the AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo on there where I can connect GRPS

I connect this one trough T-Mobile GPRS (in the Netherlands), i only bought unlimited data transfer for €9,95 a month, i can also do it without an unlimited data package. (Then i will pay per mb). So this one is the closest you can get to Live IM software!
I have been lusting after a Windows Mobile device for around two years, just waiting until the perfect phone came along. Finally the Kaiser is here, minus the VGA display, but seemingly everything else I could ever want. I would prefer to buy the unlocked version, but I have a serious reservation. While I waited for the Kaiser, I bought an unlocked Nokia 6131, but I had no luck making certain features (mobile web, sending pics to email) work on Cingular/AT&T wireless. I would be rather pissed if I bought a $800 BRICK!
My question: I know many of you are using the Kaiser on AT&T here in the USA. Is there a definitive source for the settings needed to use the EDGE and 3G networks? Could someone please post the link or the settings here? One thread I read indicated that the Kaiser automatically connects to these networks--is that true?
There are a lot of inexperienced people out there posting rubbish answers to questions like this. I'm a noob and I wouldn't presume to give advice to someone unless I knew what I was talking about. I'm hoping this thread will be useful to anyone considering an unlocked Kaiser, so please keep the misinformation to a minimum.
Thanks!
I'm using Kaiser in California on AT&T. I have 3G at my house, and there were no settings that were required for the phone to work. I put in the sim and it took off running. I've sent pics, text, slingbox streaming video, email, no issues at all.
I did load a different comm manager with a "3G" button to hold off 3G to save battery and give me control as to when I need a fast connection.
I use it in NYC on AT-T/Cingular and have no issues I use the wap.cingular settings for data and MMS since I hate MediaNet. But it works great and have 1.2MB download speeds every time I test.
Thanks for the quick replys. I was under the impression that the Kaiser came with the ability to turn off the 3G when you are out of range, is that not the case? Also, what are the wap.cingular settings that you are referring to? Did you have to input them before the phone worked? (I'm sorry for my ignorance!)
If you buy an unlocked TyTN II, it comes with a configuration app for most carriers including AT&T/Cingular. So, it works essentially out of the box with the 3G/Edge and of course phone network.
But even so, if you need to manually config it, here are the entries. Note, there are 2 different network APNs for AT&T depending on what plan you have. If you have a MediaMax, MediaNET, or Smartphone pdata plan, then use the first. If you have a PDA plan, then use the second set.

You can do a google on wap.cingular also, and will take you to many pages with more detailed instructions also.

As I mentioned, I'm doing fine with the initial startup when I installed my sim card. However, I do have a PDA plan so I did add MyISP with ISP.CINGULAR to connect to the internet.
I still see the unit connect via MediaNet for certain applications but can't find where that config is located as I only have one defined connection labeled AT&T GPRS with the ISP.CINGULAR access point.
Does anyone have an idea as to why that would be?
I'm with AT&T in CA and am using the iPhone plan. The auto config sets the data connection to ISP.CINGULAR. You'll need to change it to WAP to get connected properly for Gmail and Internet. ISP works but only for the Internet. For some reason it fails for email, Gmail POP3 email anyway.
My connection switches automatically between EDGE, GPRS and HSDPA.

It's hidden. Mine does the same, even tho both the visible "My ISP" and hiddne "Media NET" connect to the same place. It might be viewable in the registry...
Under Start - Settings - Connection Tab - Connections, checkout Edit Work settings...that's where I found Medianet settings.
Does Blackberry Connect fall under a PDA plan? Basically, should I use the ISP.Cingular?

I didn't know you could get an iPhone plan (unlimited EDGE, no 3G) for a device other than the iPhone. How did you pull that off?

Found it Thanks! I went to the connections tab, didn't see MediaNet. It turns out that it was a pull-down choice for both Internet and Work fields. I just pulled down MediaNet for work, then went into Edit, tapped and held to delete the MediaNet entry. Now it's gone from the pull downs.
When I was speed testing the Internet Sharing with my Laptop, I found that when using speedtest.net that the wap.cingular connection shows it's origin on the USA Map in SpeedTest as Florida (I'm in Calif). When I ran Speedtest using isp.cingular, the location origin was Los Angeles and it tested faster for me.

Thats Bizzare... For me, I am on the PDA connect plan and I am forced to use wep.cingular, because, I can't connect to ISP.Cingular... When I asked ATT about this, she said, "We are migrating all users regardless of whether they are on the PDA or Media net to the wep.cingular access point... I had a notion she was full of it, but now I know she is full of it...
With the pda plan I shouldnt have any problem connecting to isp.cingular, correct?

Did you have to give them the IMEI #?
I just got off the phone with a supervisor from ATT telling them that I want to know why I can't access ISP.CINGULAR ap and only the WEP.CINGULAR.
Their answer was because they don't know my IMEI number and that if I gave that to them then it would work... I told them thats Customer support BS and that I can't find my IMEI number. I also told em that if my phone is capable of connecting to the wep.cingular ap that there is no reason I wouldn't be able to connect to the isp.cingular ap unless I wasn't provisioned for the PDA plan and just provisioned for the media net plan, even though I am paying the extra 20 dollars for the PDA plan...
I can't stand ATT, I am with them only to get 3g in Los Angeles.. As soon as another company matches what att has to offer I'm leaving att...
Anyone have any ideas and advice about this?
JB
RemE, did you purchase your old 8525 from cingular? If so, then they obviously have your 8525 imei#. Did you ever tell them you upgraded from the 8525 to the Kaiser? If not.. then they probably think your still on the 8525. If so, then the 8525 is a pda which the kaiser is as well, which means that maybe they won't provision you for the pda plan unless they know your using a pda.
Just a thought.

No, I set up the account initially with a Razr on Cingular, migrated to a 8525 and expanded to unlimited data. I was using wap.cingular all that time, didn't know about isp.cingular. I had noticed the origin as Florida when speed testing the connection.
When I got the Kaiser, popped the SIM in and it auto created the MediaNet connection. In reading this forum I found the isp.cingular and gave it a try and found that it shows origin in LA, so I went that route and now have deleted MediaNet. I haven't had any contact with AT&T about any of this.
Edit; they have my 8525 imei on file as my current phone.

So when you migrated to the 8525, Cingular knew about it, right?

I didn't try it with the AT&T ROM but with HTC ROM, it will ask if you want to configure the data settings for Tmobile as soon as it detects the Tmobile SIM card.
thanks, but i'm using the atnt rom for right now, so if anybody has those settings i'd appreciate it, thanks
omar
i also have my tilt unlocked and when i put in a tmobiel sim it does ask if i want to reconfigure ....but of course thats for htc rom....so i would advise to flash if you can not find a way to use your tzone
so are you using the 5.99 plan with htc rom?
i also have a Unlocked Tilt on T-Mobile any way to get data to work with out a ROM MOD

It's significantly faster if you use the internet3 vpn apn.
I'm curious...does anyone see speed differences with "use software compression
use ip header compression. " enabled or disabled? Seems the same to me.
oh i was referring the slow internet to the tmobiles $5.99 plan...
i know they have a $20 a month plan for the smart phones, obviously that one better be fast for that kind of price....

tmobiles data connection sucks...but if u have an unlocked att tilt an uur using tmobile service like me...u need 2 use this connnection setup wizard to configure ur att tilt for tmobiles data connection. I personally won't pay for internet, especially tmobiles ****ty edge internet for 29.99 unlimited plan...I use wifi religiously and its way faster then edge..and free. Wireless in my house is connected to a cable modem and it is quick.

Exactly what does this file do? i have a tilt and using t-mobile 5.99 tzones plan. and some applications don't work, for instance dashwire will not connect on my phone, unless i use wi-fi.
here just install this cab and then go to settings, connections, connections, advanced, select networks and set them both to T-Mobile US and ur good to go
Can you guys please help me connect to the internet. I called T-mobile USA to setup the unlimited browsing and email (5.99) they help me set it up (1Hr+). It connects quickly but none of the programs (opera, HTC home weather plugin, PIE {pocket IE}) can access its internet, I tried using opera mini also. I know theres a difference between wep and wap (full internet) but $25+ a month is not worth it. I know people have a workaround I just don't know how to do it. If someone would have an install cab that would be the best, but I will try everything. Thanks in advance.
Bump.......
you need the total internet 19.99 for it to work the best.
You probably need to just enable the proxy [216.155.165.50] and you'll be good to go.

I read all that I still cant connect, It connected but if you open any browser it says you don't have permission to visit this site. T-mobile gave up helping me after an hour with 3 different people each. I don't want the $20 to just check email and weather thanks aarons6. I have proxy set up, it connect to t-mo and its connected but none of the programs work. Does anyone have the same exact problem.
T-Zones Pro
have you tried T-Zones Pro?? i have t-mobile also, and i havent signed up for this yet, but i will try. its not $25, its only 9.99, but from the t-mobile website, it states the following:
T-Zones Pro Unlimited t-zones for $4.99 includes unlimited Internet e-mail and Mobile Web content. Unlimited t-zones Pro for $9.99 includes unlimited access to corporate e-mail, Internet e-mail, and Mobile Web content--all right from your phone, any time, anywhere!
if it works or doesnt, ill post an update.
it has to do with your ports, and or the proxy, try to put the proxy ip in all the fields and the http one should have 8080 instead of 80 the other ports in the other fields leave them at default.
(in the network managment)
make sure that on the connection tab both the internet and the "private network" use the same connection that both have the proxy ip
or else you might have issues.
you might have to reinstall mini opera to work, but PIE should work regardless
t-mobile tzones pro
hey where did you find the tzones pro on the website. I can't find it anywhere.
this was when i just got the tilt, what was happening was they weren't actually activating t-zones,
well they were but on a different phone (family plan).
Make sure they activated t-zones on your line by putting your sim in a different phone to see it it works
and don't tell them you have a PDA when getting it they just **** around with you pretending,
they want you to buy the $20, tell them you have a nokia.
you don't need pro 9.99 you can use the 5.99 (its the same thing, they just like charging more)
I have the unlimited on my phone (Kaiser), but have the $5.99 T-Zones on my wifes phone (T-Mobile Shadow), and I've got it setup to work with Internet and even sync with exchange.
Here's kind of how I have it setup for her Shadow:
T-Mobile Data
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
Connects to Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50 Port 8080
Use OpenDNS servers for DNS servers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Hope this helps?

Tasi has given you the right settings. I use these exact settings on my hermes that I run on Tmobile tzones 5.99 plan. i have no issues. I run my kaiser on att..it is paid by work.
