I know this has been asked before but 20 min with search and google has only come up with half answers so far.
I was wondering if there was a place that had all of the operator configuration settings. Finding the GPRS t-mobile USA settings are eas, but what about MMS, voicemail (seems not to work with generic world english ROMS), etc?
I have been looking through the ROMs but have found no easy way to rip them out for use with another ROM.
sorry for the probebly stupid post.
Here are some different sets of Settings for TMO USA.

2. Click on the "connections" icon
3. Click on "manage existing connections"
4. Click on "edit" to edit the T-Mobile GPRS entry
5. Click Next to get to the setting called "Access point name"
6. Change this to "internet2.voicestream.com" (you can also try wap.voicestream.com)
7. Click next, then finish (no username and password or domain)

great write up! but unforunately, i tried it on my 8525 and it didn't work. i'm still not able to get MMS.
i assumed this would work on the 8525 as well.
Wizards are funny that way sometimes things work other they don't, at least that's what I have been able to understand from my experience with mines. About MMS settings I've noticed that if I do a hard reset and mess around with the settings a bit, and leave the MMS settings for latter that no matter how many times I put them in they won't work, now if I do a hard reset and the first thing I do before settings anything else up is do my MMS and my GPRS settings using the exact same settings everything works perfectly, and another thing I usually just punch in the settings myself, I haven't had one of those network settings cab work for me yet. In other words if you've tried everything else and no dice, you might think about doing a hard reset and setting up all these things as soon as you can.

I have used the setup above for years in my 8125.
Unfortunately, after July 23rd, TMO USA updated their system and my GPRS settings stop working for some reason...
Does anybody has the new GPRS configuration for TMO USA?
I struggled with this today as well until I tried Gateway "216.155.165.50" not "216.155.165.050". All is well now.
Hi all, I realise there are a lot of resources around here, but to be very honest, they all assume a level of knowledge I just don't have. I'm pretty computer-savvy, but all this phone/PPC stuff is new territory to me.
The story: I recently bought an unlocked T-Mobile MDA to use on the Fido network in Canada. I'm having a lot of trouble getting things to work beyond simple voice and texting. I've finally managed to get a GPRS connection working so I can surf the internet, but I can't get Messenger to work nor can I send MMS. I'm gathering that changing the MMS settings will require I flash the ROM to a generic version, is that correct? I've found the step-by-step instructions for doing this, but have no clue what file to actually use. My #1 priority is using Messenger, and I can't connect via wi-fi or GPRS. Not sure if that's a separate issue or not . . .
I am usually very self-sufficient WRT tech stuff but I am just getting more confused the more I read. Any pointers or hand-holding would be very much appreciated!!
I'll give you what little help I can. Since I don't have fido I can't tell you the settings that you need for sure but I'll see if I can't find them for you. First, you don't have to flash a new ROM to change youe MMS settings, you just have to put the correct setings in there for it to use it. The thing with messenger is that some phone companys have started to block the ports that messengers use so if that's the case with fido, you may never get it to work. I'll do some looking and see if I can't come up with your MMS settings for you though, I'm sure I've seen them around here.
Here you go:
1. Create a 'Cellular Line (GPRS)' connection under My ISP.
Call it whatever, I called it Fido MMS.
2. The APN is mms.fido.ca
3. user=fido, pswd=fido
4. Leave the Advanced tab alone (Auto IP assignments)
5. exit My ISP connections
6. In MMS Composer app, Tools/Options/Server, grab the default.
7. I renamed the server name as 'Fido MMS'.
8. I set the Gateway=205.151.11.13 (note - no leading zeroes or port 9201!)
9. Server address is http://mms.fido.ca

Hey, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
Part of why I thought I would have to flash the ROM is because in the MMS servers part, I am not able to modify the existing server (T-Mobile) nor can I add a new one since the buttons are all greyed out. I figured T-Mobile had locked this setting in. Am I missing something?
You just have to create new connections. Just go to Start-->Settings--> connections tab--> Connections--> Advanced tab--> Select Networks button--> and finally the New button and use the above settings to create a new connection. After that you should be able to use those settings for your MMS. Also do the exact same thing as above to set up your GPRS settings. When you're done setting those up, to be able to connect to GPRS just choose the GPRS connection you just set up in the Select Networks page. There are 2 connections in there that you can choose which connection you want to use, just use the GPRS settings that you just set up for both of them.
I've managed to set up and connect to the various networks, but I still don't have the option to add or change the MMS server. The buttons remain disabled and only T-Mobile can be used. Still can't log into Messenger, either. The wi-fi is pretty much non-functional. I really regret buying this phone.
Thanks for trying to help me out though, I really do appreciate it.
Just to kind of get this straight, does your GPRS work now? Can you log on to the internet in internet explorer?
I'll have to do some looking, getting your mms to allow you to change to the server that you set up may only take a regestry edit.
As for your wifi, that may have to do with the security settings that you have set up. I believe you can only use wep and in WM5 you may only be able to use 64 bit wep keys but I'm not positive on that. I think you also have to have SSID enabled. I'm kind of new to this part since I just set up my first wireless network about 2 weeks ago.
Don't give up on it yet.
Ok, found the registry settings for MMS. Hopefully your comfortable enough to be able to change the settings yourself. Go to HKLM/Software/Arcsoft/Arcsoft MMS UA/Config/mm1/MMSCSettings/T-Mobile MMS
Now change these registry keys:
Gateway : 205.151.11.13
GatewayPort : 8080
ISP : FIDO MMS
MmscURI : http://mms.fido.ca
Name : FIDO MMS
Now close your registry editor and wait 30 seconds or so and press the power off button until it warns you that "device will be off..." click yes and then reboot your phone.
Your MMS settings should now be set to the correct settings although I'm not going to guarantee it since I couldn't test it myself. The only thing I'm thinking that may cause it not to work is the ConnectionVia registry setting which may cause it to revert back to it's original settings because it points to the t-mobile mms settings and I have no idea what you would need to change that setting to. I'm crossing my fingers though that it doesn't cause it to revert back.
If that doesn't work, deleting the entire T-Mobile settings key may unlock your grayed out keys that aren't allowing you to change your settings in the first place.
Hi guys,
I have recently purchased a T-Mobile Vario III from a friend (unwanted upgrade) and unlocked it to use with my Vodafone PAYT SIM. I've also performed just about all of the de-branding available on this forum. However, the internet connection settings are still on T-Mobile and I can't find anywhere the settings I need to enter to get my phone to connect via Vodafone. I've searched this forum but I only get the Vodafone Live fix and I've tried Vodafone but they can't/won't help.
Can anyone help please?
Richard.

Thank you very much for this! Just out of interest, do you work for Vodafone?
Spot on and working a treat. Thanks very much!
May be that's just me and I'm dumb. But if I go to parameters/connection/ I get the only alternative to chose my provider for automatic setting.
The only time I was allowed to access the usual WinMo connection setting menu (creating, editing a connection) was at the start when I couldn't connect to the internet. I got an error message with an option to check parameters. And then I got the usual full WinMo menu. I selected the right connection and now all is fine... but I don't know how to go back to this menu!
TF3D Settings tab > More > Phone > Network tab ?
Yup! Thanks
Hi All,
I have a problem with phone !!! My Optimus2X changes sometimes my APN for another one which doesn't work, I lose DATA connection and battery drains really fast
All my APNs which are configured on the phone by default !
I can select manually the good APN but sometimes the phone selects another one (Probably after lose the signal GSM)!
Do you have an idea ?
PS: sorry for my english, i hope you will understand me....
You can delete the APN's you don't want and just keep the ones you use.
FIRST: Write down settings of APN's you use (you can probably find them on the internet later anyway).
Download an application called APN Backup & Restore. Do a backup (my phone had around 350 APN). Delete all APN's.
Now go to Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Acces Point Names, press "Menu" and select add new APN. Type in all the settings and save it.
I just did that to fix my GPS and it works fine. I had seperate settings for Internet and for MMS.

YES !!!
Thanks man ! It's ok now...
I have deleted all the VPN (after the backup : 1560 APN saved ? , also I had only 4 on the "menu").
And I have configure only one which is OK for me
Thanks again for your complete answer
With this method, all APNs will be deleted.
If I go in the other country, my phone will find correct APN to pass & receive calls & sms ?
