Former Samsung i760(WM5) owner with Verizon.
Recently moved to AT&T for the Tilt - and direct push no longer works with my servers for some reason. And it's not just me - a co-worker with the Tmobile Dash also can't get Push working. You can schedule to pull or do a manual sync, put "As Items Arrive" doesn't work.
The weird thing is all PPC's signed up with Verizon (Treo's Etc.) DO work perfectly with Activesync Direct Push.
Without getting into hardware issues, is there any simple thing I'm missing about Cingular/AT&T/Tmobile (GSM Carriers) that would necessitate a modification to server settings to get Push working vs. Verizon?

Who has it working? I put my SIM in from my Tilt and I get a SIM not found. I put in my T-Mobile SIM and I get a SIM not found. I hear of people using these in the states. Help a brother out and tell me what you had to do to get it going.
Thanks in advance
ATT Working on Touch Diamond
I have an ATT sim card and took it out of my Tilt to my Orbit 2 and into my TD. It automatically set it up. I had to do nothing to it. Worked out of the box. I dont know what you have to do. It should set up and start working. Did you get the option to set up for ATT????? I guess it has to read the SIM card to be able to do that...Check again the orientation of the Sim... I put mine in backward first time.
3g

Are you getting 3G on the att sim? If so. what part of the country are you in?
are you getting a good reception for voice? how fast is the data connection?
Satisfied so far
My sim worked right away, not sure why it does not recognize yours.
T-Mobile Data: $20.00 plan: Does not pick up 3G just Edge; however browsing is pretty quick for Edge connection.
T-Zones: worked just as fast as the Data plan, however it would not Update weather nor download emails.
Voice Calls: Great reception.
Phone works at decent speed overall with the tweaks posted here in the forums, cant wait for custom roms...

No, problem
Working with both ATT and T-Mobile
I picked mine up in Chicago today from www.welectronics.com. Make sure you call first to have it in stock. Mine works with both ATT and T-Mobile on Edge. I have not played with setting but on the phone settings, you can select 1700 as one of the options. Perhaps it might work for T-Mo 3G? I am in Chicago so I can't test that.
This sucks. I think there is a problem with my unit. I have tried 6 SIMs and it doesn't see any of them. I tried new ones from AT&T and T-Mobile and still no joy.
I kinda regret trying to get the best mobile available early. I should have waited.

Sounds like a hardware fault
Hi, I recently activated web n walk for the UK the 5 pound package.
I was having problems connecting to gmail or any other service requiring https and synching with gmail exchange.
At first I thought something was wrong with T-mobile blocking ports as I could plug in a Vodafone sim card and everything worked fine. Putting t-mobile sim in another phone would exhibit the same problems of not being able to connect to gmail etc.
After speaking with t-mobile tech support I downloaded the official rom RUU_Kaiser_TMO_UK_3.31.110.3_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.70.18.02_Ship from the t-mobile website and everything worked 100%.
The problem seems to be the ROMS I was using including Shifu, TPC Elite Google Android etc. T-mobile are obviously checking something with my rom configuration or something but I am at a loss as to what it is. I would like to use the latest ROMs as the t-mobile one is crap.
Please can anyone shed some light on what I can try. Thanks
David

Hi David, I use t-mobile UK and i use many roms from this site with the vario 3 with no problems. T-mobile sim cards come with a content lock as standard. You may find you can't even use u-tube application. You should be able to remove this content lock via my t-mobile on their website. Customer services is useless there. That is why you are experiencing that problem even when you put the sim in another phone.
Hope this helps.
cheers
James
Hi James,
I have disabled content lock, and have checked as I can get to *cough* p0rn sites. The other point is that my internet works fully when I use the T-Mobile rom.
Could this be a radio issue?
David
Hi David on my vario 3 I use radio 1.70.19.09 with hard spl 3.34 and pdacorner ultimate-x.v8 and mine is fine.
The only issue I have with internet with the custom roms is that when connection setup has run. It puts in proxy server settings that cause issues. If you go to start,settings,connections and into t-mobile internet is there a proxy server ip address ticked. if so remove the tick and see if that helps.
cheers

Pesky AT&T Tilt email sending problems.
I have an AT&T Tilt with standard WM 6.1 ROM.
A.
Whenever I travel, I always have problems sending emails from the phones email client. The problem persists even if I use wifi. I can receive emails.
I have tried disabling the proxy, enabling the proxy. I have checked and unchecked the "outgoing mail requires authentication".
I have called AT&T and they told me that since I had trialed the iPhone 3GS in April and returned it, my account was not returned to the "smartphone" plan which was the supposed cause of my issues. AT&T changed it back to the smartphone plan and the problem remains.
In the past I have deleted the accounts and re-added them. That seems to work for one send cycle and then the problem returns.
I can access the internet and see my pop mail accounts using IE and Opera, via my TILT. However, one of those email accounts does not allow me to login, saying my authentications are incorrect……………………..(I wonder if there is a clue here).
The access point name is wap.cingluar
As I said, I can surf the net using the phone, can receive email but cannot send email from the various email accounts I have set up on the phone regardless if I use wi-fi or the AT&T network.
B.
The other thing that seems to crop up at the same time is an error message saying my phones memory is at or near capacity. I check the memory meter and fair enough, there is less than 1mb of memory available in the phone's storage, but the amount of storage for programs is more than 30mb. I have the phone configured to download files to the storage card.
This is a constantly recurring problem.
C.
My next move is to change phones to an Android. My case for Android is simple : I need a phone I can set up for both tethering and as a wifi access point. The iPhone allows tethering but at an added price. The iPhone does not allow for wifi access point usage. I am interested in the Samsung Galaxy S. I have some questions:
1. Has anyone been successful in setting up an Android, particularly AT&T Samsung Captivate for tethering and as a wifi access point?
2. I understand AT&T does not allow non-market apps onto the phone. So if you are a Captivate user how can this be accomplished?
3. If you have accomplished this and you are not an AT&T Samsung Captivate user, please tell me what carrier you are with and how you accomplished it.
I am aware of a process called rooting. I am no techie and don't wish to risk bricking my phone. I am also aware that Android 2.2 will provide tethering (or is it wifi access point capability?) Is anyone aware as to which carriers will either allow this or present the least barriers for a users work around? I am open to switching carriers.
Hello XDA! After numerous searches and lots of contacting my local psychics, I've still been unable to find the answer to life's #1 question:
If I buy and unlock a T-Mobile/Samsung Vibrant, I know I can use it on AT&T. However, if AT&T has IMEIs on file for the device, it will be detected and upgraded to a data plan (thanks AT&T). Since the Vibrant is part of the GS line, does anyone know if the Vibrant will be detected as a smartphone?
Thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT: and this thread was no help and in the wrong place.
A wee bit late...
I'm a wee bit late, but if anyone wants to know:
I've had my Vibrant for a bit now, and so far, no upgrade. I'll keep this thread updated if I do get upgraded, though.
Dd you just put the at&t sim card in the unlock vibrant? Or do I have to disable the data connection to prevent at&t to detect the device? And does MMS works without data plan on vibrant? Thanks in Advance.
Sorry, but I don't use MMS at all. I have data turned off both at the phone and at AT&T, but if I understand correctly MMS should work and data should not get you detected (other than using excess data).
Samsung Vibrant on AT&T phone only plan
I have a Vibrant I use on AT&T with plain phone service only & enjoy the Android world in Wi-Fi areas. I have "Mobile Networks - data enabled" turned off in setting so it does not use any of AT&T precious data. I am not sure if this is in stock phone program or not, I have custom ROM installed. Every time I update my phone with a new ROM I make sure I do not have the SIM card in until I have the data turned off because the ridiculous fee for pay by use. Anyway I logged onto AT&T and set my phone to a dumb phone on their list of phones, waited a few days, and called AT&T. All they could quote to me on the Vibrant phone with their SIM card in was it was a "non AT&T branded phone". I got data removed no problem but did require a phone call - unable to do online. This has worked well.
I'm using straight talk on an at&t s6 edge. Trying to get the google voice voicemail to work. I've tried the mmi code **004*gmnumber# to activate conditional call forwarding, but I always get "couldn't get server response".. Trying to change the voicemail service provider also gives errors. "Can not read data. Network or sim error"
I have tried the individual mmi codes for different kinds of conditional call forwarding, but get same error:"couldn't get server response".
I have read that at&t controls the conditional call forwarding service, being the original carrier for straight talk, but because I don't have an active account, they can not change features for my number.
The ST rep tells me that there might be a hardware specific mmi code that Samsung may provide?
Does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks guys,
Gozirra
Gozirra, I was having a similar problem with my iPhone 6 (on AT&T) and my S6 (on Cricket). I think it may wind up being these phones (both are AT&T branded). I wound up swapping the sim card into a spare (Cricket branded) Moto G LTE and the MMI code worked without issue.
This exactly what I just did and it works. For months I have been trying to forward my Cricket voicemail to Google Voice, from Samsung S5. I couldn't. I called Cricket, they said there's nothing they can do. I then I saw gm2racer's post, used my sim card in my son's Samsung Prime. Voila.
Same issue here with S6 active + straight talk and with youmail as well.. invalid mmi.. straight talk says they dont support conditional forwarding, however 3 windows phones prior all worked on ST (both att and vzw phones)..
Frustrating enough i'm considering switching to tmobile (not willing to switch phones per say, i just got the s6)
I know this isnt the most hit thread on this topic, but today I resolved my issue... I have an AT&T (unlocked cause its older and paid for) Galaxy S6 (SM-G920A), that I simply plugged in the cricket SIM from my older Cricket phone and started using on their network. I got the immediate system text messages that reconfigured most of the call settings and the phone worked fine but in the past couple months, i keep getting complaints that i dont have voice mail set up from callers.
I did, I do, and I have used my google voice number for years now, and use it for my outbound calling (install the gv app and have it set outbound for all to GV). I also use GV as my mailbox... and I know how to use the **004 string to change forwarding (conditional, as in when you dont answer, cant answer, etc).
But with my AT&T S6 and the MM 6.0.1 (DQC1 official AT&T rom) - that 004 string wouldnt work. Neither would changing forwarding settings from the phone settings. They all state they cant talk to the server... and theres no option in my call settings for voicemail to set voice as the handler (versus your carrier).
So I was kind of stuck.. and here is what I did.
I flashed it using odin to the sm-g920aZ QB2 firmware (as in , the Cricket firmware for the S6, 6.0.1 MM version in March 2017).
I know.. it is taking a risk as some people state it doesent work.. some do.. well.. mine did. And since I have never tried to get root or do a custom OS, i am still official (thats all I have ever flashed, was official ROMs), and galaxy pay works, and the phone works, more or less perfectly from what I can tell. In fact, its got a TON less bloatware running a cricket ROM vs AT&T ROM.
And lo and behold, call forwarding works great now. And I actually got a firmware update notice from cricket 5 minutes after it was flashed.. and, well... all I can say is COOL.
I would probably stay with a MM (6.0.1) version of the ROM or match whatever you have now. I understand once you go to nougat, you cant go back to MM, and that may be true for moving between carrier ROMs also.. (cant go from Cricket 7 to at&t 6).
Anyhow.. Ive done a ton of research on this and thought since XDA helped out immensely (thanks everyone for posting roms and such), I would give ya'll a heads up that this worked for me.
I might go ahead and take those cricket firmware updates OTA. I know its a risk, as my phone is really a 920A (it shows as 920AZ now in settings also), but I really think its the exact same hardware... if I brick it I'll let ya'll know.
Confirmed, updates are good.

I let it go ahead and apply all of the recent Cricket updates to the S6 (920AZ) and confirmed its been running fine for 2 days now with no issues and no loss of functionality.
Makes me wonder what setting was changed by the cricket firmware - that allowed call forwarding to work properly and be set/reset/accessed by the device? The network and device didn't change, just the firmware.. but I dont see anything in the APN settings that relates to voice mail (maybe its something else that needs to change to allow CF settings?)
ANyhow.. your mileage may vary.. and Cricket firmware is WAY less bloated than AT&T for sure!
