I have got my GPRS internet connection working after the upgrade (it wiped my settings )
However it is so very tediously slow (1Kbps per ten seconds)... can someone confirm that under WM5 the settings for an XDA IIs on O2 are as follows...
GPRS Settings - PAP Authentication and Class 10 slot
My modem should be Cellular (GPRS)
My AP is mobile.o2.uk
The ID/Pass is mobileweb/password
I have slip, software compression, and IP header compression unticked
My proxy (which I use for internet connectivity) is 193.113.200.95 on port 80
Can anyone confirm this? Or have had a similar problem after the upgrade?
Further update
Just to let you know...
Leave the proxy and DNS settings empty as forcing the IP addresses rather than those supplied by DHCP slows down your browsing experience.
So just add the AP and User ID and Password all supplied in the first post and your going!
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?

I'm on the unlimited PDA plan and using isp.cingular

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?

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 have: Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid V2_1_65.14.06[No_CubeV2]
I click on video sites and go to youtube full
I'm connected to "MEdia Net (EDGE)"
I select any video to play
The icon starts spinning
And usually it gives me a "Server Timed out: 74.125.15.31" or a "cache.youtube.com" error
I've gotten it to work before when it was connected to my computer which is connected to the internet, but after that my phone would connect to the internet but it would never load any pages, I couldn't revert it back to it's previous state so I re-installed Duttys ROM and started fresh again
EDIT: It appears like I can actually get sound and video through google video but when I try youtube TC loads up but says it couldn't find video
then after that I tried a different video and got "Server Timed out: 74.125.15.20"
Is something wrong with my settings?
My Connection settings are:
My ISP

Can anyone walk me thru what I'm supposed to do with this?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Can anyone help me?
Are you trying to watch something that might require you to be logged into youtube? Also try going to the linked page.
Try installing this Cab and See what happens.

I can't get mine to connect with the AT&T proxy enabled either. I get the same result. If you uncheck the box saying this "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" under Proxy Settings in connections, mine works....
Also I get an error if I try to connect when Blackberry Connect is running. In case you run that. I have to manually suspend it even though I am using a cooked rom that allows multiple connections...
Yeah for some reason TCPMP doesn't hold open the connection either. I think It uses the Data Connection Differently.
Could it be possible AT&T blocked traffic from youtube? I use to view youtube video flawless while on 3g. But right now i can't even watch a full length of the video on 3g network , but on wifi i can watch full length of the video with no problem.
I have an ATT Fuze that I unlocked. I use in Canada and have a Rogers wireless SIM and an ATT SIM. Got the internet configs for Canada, and I am able to synch my exchange email, browse internet on opera, but get time outs in IE. I am guessing that IE remains configured to my MEdia Net configuration or there is some hidden mis config'd proxy, but that is really a guess.
Here is my config:
Created new network profile "Rogers"
networkproxy settings tab has set to connect to internet
proxy server is unchecked
Created a connection "My Connection"
Modem is set to Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: internet.com
User name: wapuser1
Password: wap
no domain
no advanced settings
When I use my ATT sim in the states, all is well. I change SIMS and my profile when in Canada and get the behavior I described above.
What is interesting is that the first time I used this Fuze in Canada after the unlock I had only email connectivity - No Opera or IE. I applied the "Beat the Bloat" steps and gained Opera connectivity, but IE still no worky! Any suggestions or ideas?
Resolved
Found the fix. All is well!
