Cingular 8125 - Using Data on AT&T

I bought a Cingular 8125 from eBay and recieved it today. I unlocked it with loki and it works on my T-Mobile SIM and my AT&T SIM. I was talking with a member of the forums here and he told me to purchase unlimited MMode for $25 a month and I can get EDGE data from AT&T. I purchased it and went through steps to use "My Work Network" but when I use IE it says "Connecting to Cingular GPRS" and doesn't connect. Any idea how to fix?
Also, I see AKU 2 is available and I was also recommended to flash my ROM because I don't need the Cingular bloat (I'm not even using the Cingular network!) but I have no idea what to use.
I wanted to try the AKU 2 but I don't have 50 MB free on my phone so I'm going to buy a memory card tomorrow... is that what I should use?
Also, regarding Outlook and ActiveSync... can I set contacts in Outlook 2003 to be Personal and Business and then have my phone only sync with the personal contacts? How?
Thanks!

this is the post that was left by a user in a topic i started. Maybe its because you didnt do the radio rom ?
i'm posting this from an unlocked 8125 on a cingular blue (old AT&T) plan and I absolutely love it. I see no slowdown where i'm at compared to the cingular SIM chips. on dslreports.com/mspeed I average between 125 and 155 kbs.
if you still can hurry and add unlimited mmode for $25 a month before they completely freeze the at&t accounts so that any change/add would warrant a migration.
once you do, get your 8125, carrier unlock it, cid unlock it, flash with button's cooked rom, flash with radio rom 1.13, customize your extended rom to the way you want (no need to use the cingular extended rom, its just bloatware because your on at&t's settings.
to get edge working just set your connections to connect to "my work network" on both settings, then go into my work network and add a connection "cellular (GPRS)",name it at&t edge (or whatever you want. now the important part is that you have to set the apn as "proxy" without the quotes. then set this connection connects to the internet under the proxy setting.
leave username and password blank and domain blank. that should do it, then connect to internet explorer and you should be surfing on edge. good luck.
I paid full retail also, $490 after tax, and it was worth every penny. I could have got it for $250 if I migrated and used my FAN buisness account, but my blue plan is sooo much better. good luck.

Check out this link if you're still having problems setting your 8125 to work with the at&t network. It's not exactly for the 8125 and WM5, but its very similar. I believe this is for the blue angle and WM2003.

if you still have questions after looking at the link let me know and I'll try to help.
Oh and no, you don't have to update the radio rom, the radio rom update will probably help with reception and edge speeds, but won't have an effect on connecting to the network.

Kenny- I've got my 8125 working on Cing Blue. If you need the settings PM me and I'll copy them out to you. It was a pain but I got it working in the end.

Thanks for the replies guys.
KINetics: I read the guide and realized I needed to edit the Cingular GPRS connection, and I did as it said... and got a little bit further. My 8125 says connecting to AT&T GPRS, says "locating..." and then returns the error: "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later." Any ideas? I have 4 bars when this happens, and the E icon (I'm guessing it's EDGE) is showing at the top.
Also, I want to have the phone as upgraded as possible... and I want the internet to work, which is why I'm thinking about updating the rom. Can you tell me what I'm best doing and how to go about doing it? I'm getting a 1 GB mini SD card today.
Thanks again!

SUCCESS!
I got the internet working!
I went to connection settings and to the proxy tab and unchecked use a proxy for internet.
Thanks for all your help! I just need ROM advice now.

danrw84: Have being trying for 3 weeks to connect and no one could help. Followed your instructions and it worked. Thanks a bunch.
And all these problems because I had an old ATT account ...
I have a PDA unlimited option for $14.94/month Company deal hehe. Now I can use it !!!

GREAT!
Thanks for the info...got it working at 144kbps! the ATT/Cingular support ppl immediately went for the: "Need to migrate your account" line. Ha!

AT&T Tilt operator name not showing up

Ok I have the AT&T Tilt obviously and I have been trying to get the operator names that I entered to show up. It still says AT&T on the "Home" Tab and on the "Wirless" tab. But when I set the phone to manually let me search for a tower and it shows the networks available it shows the names I have entered into the OperatorNames folder. Also when I change AT&T(310-410) to say sucks after restart it will swith back to AT&T in the registry. I also tried changing the registry HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting ONSDisplayRule to 0,1,2,3 originally it was on 4. and still no luck. Am I missing something. And yes I am positive the registry edits are done correctly(did it on the Cingular 8125). And no the phone is not unlocked. *Update* the operator names folder was there already with the registry AT&T(310-410) if deleted it still shows AT&T and returns upon restart. Maybe somebody knows something I don't or I just happen to have a lemon.

Nobody have anything, no idea, well has anyone else had a problem when changing there operator name and it keeps coming back, that could be a start???

Sounds like ATT is your operator. I don't think you can just change that.

Not trying to switch the "Operator" from AT&T to say T-Mobile, just trying to get the Name AT&T changed to say Cingular. But each time I change the registry 310-410 from AT&T to Cingular, it only shows Cingular in the Manual Selection box, but not on the Today Screen. So what I am saying is that it does work, but does NOT show different on the Today Screen. And Resets back to AT&T in the registry on soft-reset. There must be some edit somewhere in the registry to keep it from changing names on the today screen and change back on reset. The Personalizer cab worked, but what I am really looking for is the phone to show me which network I am using and not just AT&T all the time.

What I'm saying is I don't think you can do that.

Yeah, but ATT/Cingular devices are setup to override that and show every network as ATT/Cingular. There is a setting in the phone to read the network name from the phone, or from the SIM, by default ATT phones read the network name from the SIM, and all of their SIM cards are programmed to show all networks as either ATT or Cingular for the older ones. Its not a big deal though, its just the network name. My unhacked phones all read AT&T, most of my hacked phones all read Cingular.

Maybe Jay can shine some more light on it.

Yea that makes sense I kinda wondered that. Ok then maybe you might know a little bit more why I can take that same sim card and put it in my Cingular 8125 and yes it does say Cingular for the network, but it will also show, for instance in my area, iWireless when it does roam over.

Maybe that phone isn't as locked down as the tilt???

So there probably is a way it just hasn't been found.

So does unlocking the phone change anything?? Or what about non AT&T Tilt Kaiser's do they have the same issue?? Its obviously something that AT&T installs on the setup of the device and puts some settings in the boot registry to block it. Where does the "Home" tab get the Provider Name from because I can get the "Wireless" tab to change, but am unsuccessful on the Home tab unless you use the personalizer.

T-Mobile USA Side-Kick Prepay and Tytn II

Hello All,
I bought a prepay Side-Kick Tmobile sim card in Memphis today, after activating it and toping it up. I put it in my Kaiser. Auto connection setup started nicely and found tobile USA settings.. whoever, I am unable to attatch to the data network.. when ever I try and connect, the E with arrow icon starts working around, but then it stops and a message reading: Cannot connect for unknown reason (then it goes on about changing settings etc)
I looked everywhere for answers, (as I id like to think im more intelligent than just asking a question that could be dumb :-D) but i could not find a thing that worked about this.. and the things i did find were not helpful..so apologies in advance if there was an obvious place for my answer but i missed it some how..
The Device Information is:
ROM: Dutty WM6.1 WWE (CE OS 5.2.19716, build 19209)
Date: 04/01/08
Radio: 1.64.08.21
Protocol Version: 25.74.40.02H
I would hope that someone can help me, as i am desperately needing to get connected... im visiting from the UK and my silly sim card malfunctioned and i can no longer get online :-(
Many Thanks

the other day i saw a cab that said ::
"use this when you have trouble setting up t-mobile" ..

has a cab and instructions.. maybe its for you.. if you try it, please report results

Sidekick data tries to connect to Danger (manufacturer of SKs) Servers for internet connection, any other devices will not work on that service. You need to use the service that they offer for regular cell phones called Tzones or the data plan for smartphones

I tried the file (its one of the solutions i found and didnt work before posting).. what it did that it refused to even try and connect. it was something to do with having the Prixy settings active..so really im not sure what to do..
I tried to get through to Tmobile CS, but im almost sure that they will have no clue on what to do, but i was too late in the evening, so I will try tomorrow..
Any more ideas are Warmyl welcommed!
Thanks

from what i've read it seems that the sidekick data plans will not work on our devices.. as i was planning to do the same thing it seems that only the unlimited text would work not the data probably due to the fact that the data connects through danger which would detect that it's not a sidekick.. i was disappointed to find this out b4 as well

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
So what does a man have to do to get access to get pay as you go mobile access( in the US)!? does any one know any other service provider that would sell me a prepay sim that will have some kinda daily data package?
cant tell you who dissapointing this is!

I totally agree! I ran into the same problem as you. I am in the USA for 3 weeks and want a cheap (prepaid) mobile data connection. The best option seems to be: T-Mobile Total Internet Plan $40 month-by-month unlimited EDGE + WiFi.

ATT also sells prepaid sims under the name Go Phone...

Yes.. I found that out.. but they said in the ATT shop that it doesnt allow data access :-(

The Sum of All Fears!
Well to sum up,
I managed to get through to tmobile CS, they confirmed what was mentioned before about Side Kick servers. so the anser is No to all other devices besides to "side kick" (the handset)..so no Kaiser, or anything else!
I guess that i will have a new addition to my sim collection!
Many thanks to all that gave thier opinion and tried helping out
Ta

i actually had the same problem. and i downloadede a Dutty Tmobile set up worked wonders! make sure you install it to device .
i downloaded the zip onto my memory card. inserted it into phone searched my memory card opened the zip and used the DUTTY tool to set up connection. installed the program onto device and once installed you will need to do a soft reset in. once the phone comes back on it will prompt you to set up the tmobile connection.
hope it helped

T-mobile Web Problem

Hi Everyone, This is my first post here so I hope I get everything right.
My problem is I live in the US, I bought a EU model Diamond. I upgraded to the newest official HTC rom. I restored all the settings and had to manually enter the settings for t-zones And t-mobile web. I tried t-mobile web with my simcard that I've had for a while and all worked perfect. Since the phone is for my wife I popped her sim in but no go on t-zones or web. Wife went to T-mobile to get a replacement simcard and after everything activated still no go on either option. If I try her sim in my phone it works just fine with t-mobile web. I put my sim in her phone and all works great again, but not with hers. Any one have a similar problem or any Idea how to fix this problem?

You might need to reset the settings again with her SIM card.
You might also want to try these CABs which put all the settings together:

Thanks for the cabs tip fhsieh. Now with the 599 cab I can connect with opera browser and internet explorer but not with opera mini and the weather update can't connect either. I tried to install the 2999 cab but it keeps saying it was unsuccesful. I will read through the thread to see if I can find an answer. Maybe you already know the answer, once again thanks for your help.

VERY, VERY Frustrated!

I have been combing the forums and searching like crazy for a way to get my MMS to work on T-Mobile USA with my ATT Tilt. It has the stock WM 6.1 on it.
Can someone PLEASE help me and NOT refer me back to searching? I'm about ready to get rid of the phone

Have you tried using the T-mobile configurator?
http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/
There was a Cab floating around called tmobyjoe599 that could also set all the data settings. It appears to be here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395203

or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565522

Ya, non of that seems to work. I'm sure that someone out there must have gotten this to work...I've had other phones from other provides and didn't have an issue with MMS...

Check to see that you have 3G signal. No 3G no MMS. Also, I'm not sure but does the Kaiser3 (TILT) even support the 3G Frequency of T-Mobile?
Also, SINCE you are using a Stock At&t ROM I have a sneaking suspicion that you won't get an At&t Optimized ROM to work on another Network. Maybe you should flash a Custom ROM and see if that helps.

Ya, i've tried that too, and I can't even get the hardSPL to install...SOOOO i think I'm stuck with no MMS : ( I get the big "E" on my screen for the edge network of T-Mobile.
EDIT: Nevermind, I FINALLY got it, with the help of T-Mobile Configuration tool...

moneyies?
do you have to pay for the configuremyphone thing if you have unlimited texting?
