T-Mobile UK web n walk problems accessing https using roms - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

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

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.
http://supportcingular.atgnow.com/c...gnow.com%2Fcng%2Fknowledgebase%2FKB39865.html
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.
Marc
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!

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395203
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.

T-Mobile Setup on HTC Tilt

I called up ATT and got the unlock code for my friends old HTC Tilt, unlocked and placed my T-Mobile SIM card in it which has an active voice + text + web account on it, with the default ATT Rom on it I was only able to set it up to do voice and text, whenever I tried using the Data connection for like let's say IE it would bring up a page for web2go, even after Flashing the phone with different ROMs I found on this great site and went through the auto communication setup for t-mobile, and still it only does voice + text, any ideas?
Right now here are my specs:
HTC Tilt
R: 1.70.19.09
G: 25.83.40.02H
D: 3.TPCElite
HardSPL 3.29
Let me know if you need any more info..
Call T-Mobile Support
Same thing happened to me last night. I called them this morning and they fixed it in about 10 minutes.
ok cool, so I should just call them up and they should be able to tell me what to do? or do you know how?
thanks in advance,
-b3ck
There should be a cab file somewhere that sets it all up for you.
I called up T-Mobile and talked with one of their non-supported device technicians (they have an entire support dept. of these guys) and it was actually on their end, they had to allow the IMEI to use the Data plan, because basically the phone was like Hi let me use the Data on the Network and the network was like what's your name? and the phone was like I'm John Smith, and the network was like your not on the list sorry.
So.. yea I was talking with a very smart tech support lady @ T-Mobile, she even mentioned these forums, she said she recommends it to people that have devices that aren't supported by t-mobile she even wanted to know which ROM I flashed onto my Tilt =)
Anyways everything is good to go now, thanks everyone!

huh? I don't know what that means..
I have an issue. I just switched my entire plan over to the even more plus. On my old plan I had tzones and it works great for everything. Now I have the web2go. The problem is not getting the device to work on the internet2.voicestream.com, that works fine, but it is the battery drain. In a 4 hour period it will kill a full battery. When I remove the internet2 setting then the battery lasts all day. anyone else see this issue. BTW I'm using the JJblaster 23518 and radio 1.70.18.02
what do you all think, a bit odd for it to drain the battery that fast?

[Req]Blackstone with O2 Uk

Hello everyone.
I'm beat. I was up to silly o'clock this morning trying to get this thing working.
I purchased to unlocker from this site as I have no posts. I've tried many different roms and radios but I still get no service when I plonk in my o2 sim card.
I have a touch HD that was registered to the orange network that I bought off a friend of mine. I wanted it to work with o2 so I downloaded the unlocker program (paid for) and did all the updating and unlocking that entails.
I then tried a few different roms (even tried win 6.5 but my battrey was getting drained at a silly rate)
The problem I have is that whichever radio I get it's not working with my O2 sim card. I have the little G symbol but it keeps asking for data connection setting and the phone is showing no service. I have even tried radios from other phones with no luck. I'm on the offical htc 1,56,401,0 (43972) WEE rom at the moment and the 1.12.25.16 radio and I'm also getting the greenscreen at the load up but a quick on off fixes that.
I searched the forums but still no joy.
What do I have to do?
Please, you are my only hope.
Thanks in advance.
Do you have the right SPL? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217)
I used to be Orange, had it unlocked, and am now on o2 with no problems. I use 1.17 radio but I don't think that's the issue
Tried it just now.
Thanks for the advice.
Tried the HSPL Wrapper on that thread, updated the radio to 1.17 but it's still showing no service. Any other ideas?
Thanks again.
did you try put another sim card inside the phone?
I just have O2 cards atm. Still now joy though.
I am a failure.
I've just done a cracking stew in the slow cooker. First time making dumplins. I can rebuild and format a PC in less that two hours but this thing has got me beaten. I suppose I could use it for an e-book reader.
I've now got SPL-1.56.Olnex on there with the blackstonehenge Rom.
and 1.17.25.09 radio but it still won't connect.
If anyone has any better ideas I will make them some stew and dumplins. Geographical location allowing, and if the gf lets me have friends round.
Thanks anyways.

i think the OP said that they have bought this already
i used to be on orange, now on O2.
how old is the O2 simcard? i think this is the most likely cause
Yes, I already purchased the unlocker. I also tried a newer sim card that was a Christmas present. I'll nip out today and get a 99p sim card from another network. Any suggestions which would be best?
Works with vodaphone
Yes, it registers and works with a vodaphone simcard. It also works with t-mobile but I can't send or recive calls on that (mightbe a sim thing with a need to top up or something) But a new o2 PAYG sim card and my old one still bringing up no service.
Anyone got any suggestions about any manual settings I can do?

Your operator does have any rom for Touch HD on their site? If it does, try it and see if it works.
Also read this page, seems to be an O2 rom for Blackstone devices http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Versions .
This page may be usefull too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444170

Hi henshu. Have you tried checking your band settings. Make sure they all are set to Auto. Tap on phone then options then band.
