this could be a wm6 problem rather than an x1 problem, but I figured I'd start here. I have an x1a, using it with Tmobile. I have the full data plan, and I can't seem to get the internet and MMS working all at the same time. If internet works then mms tells me i need to "switch connections" to receive an mms" and so I tell it to do it, but then I can't send email or mms, unless I reboot, maybe. I'm thinking its something simple, like maybe I need to specify which connection mms should use, and which connection internet should use, and etc....I'm not sure if they should all be set to the same or different, and if so, which one(s).
Can someone using an x1 and Tmobile tell me what connection settings they use?
does MMS use the "tmobile internet" "Tmobile data" "Tmobile mms"?
does internet use "tmobile internet" or Tmobile data"?
Thanks,
Ian
I don't think it's possible for data and mms to be used at the same time.
Also i'm on an x1i on t-mobile
T-mobile MMS
Wap.voicestream.com
on the proxy settings tab, don't check this network connects to the internet
T-mobile Data
internet2.voicestream.com
on the proxy settings tab, check this network connects to the internet
Thank you very much! That was exactly what I needed, but didn't get from Tmobile "third tier" but didn't get in 1 hr and 15 minutes.
all better!
you are able to use data settings for mms so you dont need to switch networks everytime you send a mms.
mayhaps i spoke too soon. I'm still not able to send mms, and I am still prompted from time to time to allow the phone to switch connections in order to send/receive mms. the one thing that is improved now at least is that i can download mms.
any suggestions on what to do to fix any of the above problems?
i'm sorry, but i don't think it's possible to use t-mobile data for both data and mms at the same time. I got these settings directly from tier 3 tech support.
Try taking a picture, then sending it to yourself. It should say that it will change connections then it should connect to T-mobile MMS. Once that's done, it should send the MMS(takes approx 15 seconds to send). You should receive it shortly after

I heard somewhere that ATT uses a special proxy server in order to charge you for data usage. And by changing that server to a free proxy server (kproxy, proxy ip?) you can get free unlimited data usage....
Is this possible or a bunch or crock?
No one ?
I used to work for the company for a number of years. Complete crock
Nooooooooooooooooooo...
complete crock, even if you turn the proxy off it still charges you for data... i dont run the proxy and still show over 800meg transfer a month
If I were ti funnel the interent over MEdia net, would that count as data?
yea that would still count as data if you gonna use the internet thorugh medianet
But my MMS goes through medianet and it doesnt charge me for that?
Anything and everything that uses GPRS, EDGE, UMTS or HSDPA is data and you will get charged for it one way or the other, whether it's SMS, MMS or raw data (i.e. PIE or checking email). Even if you have an unlimited SMS, MMS or data package and you aren't being charged separately for it, they are still logging it. Look at your phone bill and you will see it (I know AT&T logs every SMS, MMS and every byte of data).
The ONLY way to bypass that is to use WiFi, and that only works with data, not SMS and MMS.
So, in short, it's a crock.
But its not using any of those, its using 3G via the MEdia Net proxy
HSDPA IS 3G. You are using data on the AT&T network.
No matter how much you argue with me, it won't change the fact that unless you use WiFi, data is being transmitted on the AT&T network and MMS/SMS will not work over WiFi.
im not sure why this is so hard to understand so let me try to lay this out before locking this thread...
If your phone uses any sort of data over cellular no matter how its connected to the network (GSM, 3G, HSPA, Edge, NOT including wifi) its tracked, it does not matter what server its connected through (media net, MY ISP, PDA Connect, etc), even if your phone was set to use a different proxy then the data still has to go through att before hitting the other proxy... If it can be tracked it can be billed, and ATT tracks EVERYTHING, SMS, MMS, PTT, Video share, browsing, etc....
I was setting up my friends t-mobile dash so that their phone wouldn't connect to the internet unless it was through a wifi connection and I noticed that the phone had a tmobile internet connection AND a tmobile mms connection.
I deleted my AT&T Medianet connection on my tilt because I don't want to rack up data fees dealing with the internet, but after that I can no longer send MMS messages. Is there a way to set-up the AT&T tilt to allow for MMS messages to still be sent but keep the phone from connecting to the internet?
Nope. MMS needs Data Connection to function.
Unless I'm forgetting something.
I've got a UK T-Mobile Vario III and will be in the states for two weeks soon.
I want to disable over-the-air internet access to avoid roaming data charges if any applications decide they want to go online (e.g. the weather plugin). I want to keep GPRS operating for send/receive of picture messages.
I'll have the laptop with me (with internet access) so I'd like the phone to still access free internet data when I've got the USB sync cable connected (or via Wi-Fi when I'm in a wireless hotspot).
Could someone remind me how to disable over-the-air internet while keeping the other stuff?

NoData
Try this: http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility/
Works great for me.
Thanks for the tip, that worked great to turn data connections off, but it also disabled MMS (picture message sending) which is cheap on roaming and I will want to use quite a bit. It was just internet roaming data that I wanted to prevent.
Any other ideas?
Andre
Try NoData from Modaco. You can chose between mms or internet disabling.

That's the one I tried (same filename anyway) but it only offers one item to enable/disable via the 'Toggle' option, thus:
T-Mobile Internet - ENABLED

Disabling that connection shouldn't disable your MMS connection, they're completely separate. I installed my T-Mobile settings via a cab on these forums (since I'm not using the stock ROM) and the two connections appear seperately in NoData.

On my stock ROM, it looks like the MMS sending is done via the T-Mobile Internet connection.
In Messaging > MMS Options... the server it uses is "T-Mobile PictureMessage".
When I click on that to check the settings, it uses the following:
Gateway: 149.254.201.135
Port: 8080
Server address: http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002/
Connect via: T-Mobile Internet
Any further thoughts? I don't want to mess too much as we go away in a couple of days and don't want to break the phone...
Andre
Just spoke to T-Mobile. They say it's absolutely impossible to do with this type of phone - either you have internet on (which gives you MMS too) or you turn the whole GPRS connection off (thus losing internet and MMS messaging at the same time).
I expect they're wrong, but I'm now at a dead end.
Andre
I didnt see it mentioned, but if you happen to know all the carrier information for the internet account, you could always go to "manage connections" and delete all of the data connections there. You can put it back in in the matter of a minute or so later when you need it but it would without a doubt keep you from getting any usage charges.
I have t-mobile with stock 6.1 (dutch) and for me its certainly possible to enable internet and/or mms seperately.
You could also try kaisertweak if you havent already. It has options for enabling/disabling certain connection types.
My problem is that the UK stock ROM seems to route MMS traffic via the Internet connection, so if I disable internet it blocks MMS too. I don't have any separate settings for T-Mobile MMS that don't use the internet connection.
Andre
thats weird, when i installed nodata and ran it it said: An unexpected error has occured in NoData.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.
ive already did a restart a few times, it might be because i have my kaisertweak as well. but im not exactly sure

I experienced this when I flashed a custom ROM and for a while it did my head in. I realised that it was because I didn't have any defined connection settings - once I installed the T-Mobile settings cab it opened and ran as expected.
Are your GPRS/MMS settings configured?

same as profahmad, try it with a previously configured connection
ok first of all i did google this but didn't find anything specific
alright so under my "connections setting i have my "select automatic network" to MY ISP.....i thought that was enough to avoid data charges (since i only want to use wifi for internet browsing and emails...and i dont have a data plan).
So i was playing around with the email options and under the "server" settings i noticed the connection was set to Medianet....my heart came in my mouth since i've been going crazy with the e-mails thinking im connected to wifi I changed the connection to MY ISP and now i cant receive e-mails.....so right now im hoping i didn't get charged (somehow) or if i did.....what would be some good bs excuses to get it waived
so my query is..can i send/receive emails via wifi connection? If so, how do i set that up.....
Before i use to turn off "phone" and leave wifi on and i did receive emails with that setup.
so my 2nd qs is....does disabling phone disable medianet or mms capabilities ?
Disabling all Data services from isp
I'm right there with you. I do not want to get a data plan, as I only need internet every once and a while. I have enabled my wi-fi by doing this on my phone:
Start>Settings>Connections>Wi-Fi
then from there you can turn it on, find and join networks...
As to removing all access to your ISP, I am not sure. I keep trying but no matter what i do, every once and a while I notice the little "E" logo at the top symbolizing the EDGE network is being accessed. Which is not what I want. Anyone who can shed some light on disabling the data service from being accessed, it would be greatly appreciated.
hmm well I also do not use the 3G network. The best way I've found to do this is by using the Comm manager and going to the communications manager and disabling 3G and disabling Data Connection. Then if you keep wi-fi enabled it won't ever use the 3G network. If the ROM your using doesn't have a good comm manager then you can download one that has those controls because there are many on this website. Hope this helps,

Modaco No Data is what I use
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
i have issues sending e-mails from the built in client, it always tells me i dont have access or some crap which makes no sense since i can sign into my account and check my e-mail from my phone so i normally have to go to the website for my e-mail to send an e-mail which is a pain
I was using xperileo 2 and im so F*ck ! my bill was sent it is amount for 1.3k when i press on my nextwork icon. the time for my internet used is 99hrs99min99sec and I didnt use any of it swear to god ! Now I am torching for the bill tell me how to fix my darn phone !
I think you'll need to provide a bit more information if you're going to get any useful help here.
Like:
What's your data plan look like? (do you have one?)
What data connections do you have active on the phone (3G, WAP etc)?
Did you let the connections get configured automatically or did you do it yourself?
My guess is that your phone was configured with WAP, connected onto WAP and that's not in your data plan. WAP is charged by time, not volume of data.
You do have a series of alternatives:
1. use NoData to toggle off/on your data connections (or just keep them off)
2. get your operator to block usage of certain protocols eg WAP
3. configure the connection manually to match your data plan
it is indeed charge by time. And it is set up automatically. Sigh i am out of luck. it is probably 3G and also I didnt know how to set up any plan
Look at your connections to see what they are connecting to. You should not have a lot (look in Settings/connections)
3G should not charge by time, it is normally by MB - so it sounds like WAP to me.
That happened to me too, after using the automated connection wizard.
You probably can't do anything about the cost you've already incurred, but you should be able to get the operator to disable WAP permanently (if that is the root of the problem). While you're on the call, ask for the 3G connection settings & input them manually (or just google "operatorname" "country" "data settings" or similar) - or they may just send you a SMS with them
all you have to do is turn off the connections using the comm manager... its that simple...
