Unlocked Kaiser on Tmobile US

If I am correct, tmobile US will release their version of the Kaiser in the future. Does anyone know if HTC will offer a fully functional (for lack of better terms) unlocked kaiser. By fully functional, I mean with all the hardware features like dual cameras along with the ability to handle the 1700 band for tmobiles 3g network.

i have an unlocked kaiser on tmobile and it works perfect. The hope is that t-mobile will purchase another frequency that works with the kaiser!!!

that's all fine and good but with the currently available kaiser (and also the TILT once released and unlocked) you will not be able to take full advantage of tmobiles 3G network once launched. I'd like to keep tmobile as my US provider while still having the front cam for video calls.

I would also like to change from ATT to T-mobile with my current unlocked Kaiser. I am hoping that the current kaiser is just a, "Rom change" away from picking up the 1700 Mghtz 3G frequency when T-Mobile brings it out.
Anybody here have any idea, if the Kaiser is hardware capable of picking up 1700? You would assume, that it would be easier and cheaper to put the hardware in there and just disable it with software.

I wouldn't worry to much. By the time tmob gets 3g maybe late 08 in some areas maybe 09 there will be another latest greatest phone

Good point...

I figure in on the 'newer phone' liklihood as well. I had a Wizard and thought the remaining feature differences (GPS, Tilt display, faster processer, double RAM, double storage, SDHC support, etc) were more than enough to justify an upgrade. I am using in on T-Mobile with the great data plan. I have access to WiFi when I need speed (Sling, Orb, etc), so EDGE is good enough for uses at other times (casual web browsing and push email).

I'm sure they will release their version of the Kaiser before 2008 if they want to reap the rewards...and, I don't think they will release it without the 3g network running as their version is supposed to support the 1700 band. Of course, their version will be lacking other features of the hardware like the front facing camera. In turn, my original question about wanted a fully featured unlocked Kaiser remains.
Additionally, to the person hoping thecurrent kaiser may have 1700 support through a rom update, from what I hear the answer is no. I am told it is a hardware issue and the hardware on the current kaiser model is not equipped to handle it.

You might check this thread out. Dont know if it will work here.
I don't believe HTC will make a Kaiser for tmo here but this variation could come here. If you look at the phones released to ttmo and att most of the light and young peoples phones are released to tmo and the more work oriented are released to att (excluding the Iphone which should have went to tmo but was att shot to bring in some young blood. just my ho for what its worth

Thanks dwella,
However, i feel pretty confident that T-mobile US will release the Kaiser for many reasons. Mainly because they have already cleared their version of the device through the FCC and there is a Tmobile manual for the device that is clearly for the US market (as it mentions specifics exclusive to the T-mo US market such as My Favs, etc. They don't exist in UK). The FCC also list Tmobiles variant as having the 1700 band and as you may know, Tmobile US is setting up half of their 3g network on that band (upstream I believe). Since that band is not used in UK (or anywhere iirc) it's pretty certain that the documentation is for the US.
Then again, this is all speculation.
My problem however is that I want a fully featured unlocked Kaiser with all bands and all hardware options. I take residence in both US and abroad (Asia). Asia is no issue as the bands are common. Tmo US is my provider in the states though (and I have a really, really god data plan through them) and want 3g to work through them when in the US. Since the fact that they will use the 1700 band is my main hang up (otherwise, I probably would have had the Kaiser on day 1 )
The wait and uncertainty is killing me...I even emailed HTC some time ago about this but they have not responded.

Can you give me instructions on the 5.99 workaround, I can't seem to get it to work with any of the settings here, nor the auto setting downloader.

start>settings>connections>connections
under proxy settings check: this network connects to the internet
check this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet
proxy server should be :216.155.165.50
click advanced
http: 216.155.165.50:8080
wap: 216.155.165.50:9201
secure wap: 216.155.165.50:9201
socks (blank)
under modem, your access point name should be : wap.voicestream.com
name and password blank.
under advanced check use server assigned ip address
use software compression
use ip header compression.
Works great!!
The only thing i found I cant get to work is the MMS setting, though i did find the post for it, but did not work for me.. so if anyone has setting that work for Tmobile w/tilt, much appreciated..

Thanks for you help, my MMS setting works. Here's are my setting:
Messaging -> MMS -> Tools -> Options:
Servers -> MMS Configurations:
Server Name: T-Mobile MMS
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080
Server Address: http://216.155.165.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect via: T-Mobile MMS
By the way, these are the default settings the "Auto Connection" tool gave me.

i am pretty sure i tried that myself,but it wont hurt to try again.. i did get it to work 1 time that was it.. now all it does is sit in either sent or draft folder w/ and red x next to the envelope.. thanks for the info!!

I just got the Kaiser for Christmas, and I got it working with the HTC rom on T-Mobiles network. My question is since my Kaiser was purchased on eBay and was for the Singapore/Vietnam market is there a US rom I can load that will better recognized T-Mobiles network. I have it working for normal phone calls and I am using BlackBerry Connect on it but every time I connect to the internet to use the browser it disconnects the BlackBerry Connect service. I would like both internet and BlackBerry to use the same connections. Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks in advances

Sidekick prepaid plan & rooted G1

Hi all,
I've searched the forums and the internet but i couldn't find the answers. I just signed up for the sidekick prepaid plan and I want to get it to work with my rooted G1. I've heard of people that are able to get it to work but no actual tutorials. My main problem right now is that I'm not getting any internet. what APN settings do I put on the phone? I also get an error saying I can't login to the google servers. how do I log in? My Att sim works but i just want to use the prepaid plan thanks everyone.

I had a friend with a prepaid sidekick plan and I rooted his G1 and he could only use net services thru wifi

Hey thanks for the reply!
i actually figured out what was going on. I had WisyncPlus running and it was automatically disabling my APN's even after booting. So if you have WisyncPlus make sure to uncheck the disable APN button. FWIW, here are my APN settings:
APN: hiptop.t-mobile.com
leave everything else blank
Username: dummy
Password: dummy
MMS protocol: wap 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
So anyway, It's running smooth and i can get 3G too! all for $1.00 a day.

Still going?
hey agentkalaw is this still working for you?
I just bought a prepaid sim today and changed it over to the sidekick plan, but my g1 (running cyanogen) can't connect to the internet! I tried using your setting but no luck.

No, it is fixed and no longer works.

thats too bad... but thanks for the fast response!

How to get MMS to work on Tmobile USA

I've read many other posts about this and have tried many things but i still can't get MMS to work on my tilt on the Tmobile network. Does anyone have an AT&T Tilt with working MMS that they are using on Tmobile. Could you tell me what all your connection settings are. Thanks.

Go to Tmobile web site, there is instruction how to set it up

Seriously there was a thread about this just a couple of days ago.
geez

I've already looked at this thread. The tmobile data reconfigurer doesn't work. Can someone who has working mms just copy down all their connection settings. Thanks

I've seen that thread and i've tried the tmobile data configurer, nothing works. Can someone with working mms just copy down all there connection settings. Thanks

I just use this cab which I made myself, and it works fine! Hope this helps..

nope, that didn't work. I've got it to receive the message but when its downloading the picture it never goes about 0% and eventually it says gateway timeout.

what rom r u running? I'm thinking maybe you have some AT&T medianet settings creating issues.

Do you have data on your plan?

Images are not loading properly over 3g - help!

Nexus One, Froyo (FRF85B), 3G on AT&T in NYC
Same thing happened on FRF50 and 2.1
Here's a screenshot:

EDIT: Heres the same thing over wifi:

Image in question.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I found a bugreport that appears to be related. So this isn't new. Has anyone found a solution?

I don't seem to have gotten this problem on AT&T in SFO, going directly from EPE54B to FRF85B. However, I recall seeing some posts about this when FRF50 came out. If I'm not mistaken, they may have solved it by clearing the Proxy setting in Mobile network settings -> Access Point Names.

Access point names contains only Cingular 410, wap.cingular
I don't have a proxy setting there, btw.

So you're saying the Proxy setting inside Cingular 410 is already blank? Or there is no Proxy setting present at all?

Ah, I see what you mean. If I click on the APN, there are more settings inside, with the proxy wireless.cingular.com. Should I remove that?

Yes, removing the Proxy value should do it. I'm not sure if you need to reboot or anything. Good luck.

You, sir, are a life saver!
It works!
Why did I get a proxy value in the first place?

It probably comes from the settings AT&T sends your phone when it auto-configures itself for the network. My last AT&T smartphone (Tilt 2) came pre-configured with the Proxy setting as well. AT&T is trying to lower the strain on their network by re-compressing images for as many people as it can.

To the point of making them totally illegible.
Thanks for all your help!

what happened is it seems google tried to play nice with ATT, so google must have started adding the proxy setting for att in the access point list. this saves ATT some bandwidth by reducing the quality of images and going thru ATT's proxy. every unlocked phone i've owned i've made sure to delete the proxy info as it always messed up my images like that.
wonder why google tried to play nice with ATT? to get on their good graces maybe?

T-Mobile do the same thing in the UK. Didn't know it's possible to fix it though.

MMS not working no matter what I do.

I've been messing with this phone for a week since I got it and I've tried every APN setting I could find. Does anyone who is using the phone on AT&T have MMS working and can they share with me their APN settings? Also of note, I have made sure my plan is a smartphone 4G plan with att. I've talked to 10 people at ATT and they really don't know what they're doing. If I can't get MMS working I'm afraid I'm going to have to return this phone.

Go to Settings>Xperia>Internet Settings
Follow the instructions which will download an app that will install the proper APN settings. I fought with the same issue and this made all perfect! MMS to your heart's content.
