Well, every where i go it seems to tell me that this is the place to get my questions answered about this device, so excuse me if i start a repeat thread. ( i searched and found nothing that answered my questions so far)
i have a cingular 8125 with 2.25 ROM, it seems, and use T-Mobile service. I have already unlocked the SIM lock using Lokiwiz MSL, (thanks!) and the voice and text messaging works perfectly, however obviously no data and MMS setting are loaded for T-Mo usage. I have looked and looked for places to apply the proxy settings to simply allow a new connection rather than flashing my ROM to i suppose a T-Mo or custom variant? canot find the screens, only allows DNS and Wdns settings. Obviously this is the rom that everyone is having problems CID unlocking, but i have heard around that the rom could be downgraded and then CID unlocked using lokiwiz02B, tried this using Cingular_RUU_1[1].8.11.1.WWE.ship and the installer told me it was not an up to date version, and i needed a newer installer to do this, no progress bar, and the PPC displays the 3 color bootloader screen and freezes. battery out, battery in reboots fine. Honestly, im looking for a little help in which direction to go, do i need (or is it possible?) to put a different rom on this device? and is this what i need to do to enable the settings i desire? (i use the 5.99 T Mobile Web package on my Nokia 9300 (also unlocked) and it works fine) If so, how exactly do i work this since the installers i can find don't seem to work...? Thank you for taking the time to read this post and thanks in advance for any help.
Anyone have any ideas?

Is anyone out there using a TYTN 2 on the rogers network in Canada? ..
I've recentaly brought one back from europe and i'm having trouble getting it working properly. I can send and recieve text messages but when it come's to calling or trasnfering data i cannot.
I'm realtively new to this but i have managed to flash my device to an english ROM from a norwegian one with limited success as well as unlocking the SIM port for use with any sim card.
My device keeps telling me that i dont have my connection details entered properly and that it cannot communicate with the provider properly. I dont know if this is maybe related to the radio i'm using or if it's simple becasue the ROM i'm using doesn't have Canada or rogers in the provider list.
i relaize that maybe these questions are alittle primitive but i'm trying really hard to understand all of this If some one can point me to a thread where i can read more about the basics of this stuff that would be great also.
Changing the operating system on your phone is pretty cool and someday hope to cook my own.
One last question, is there anyway to remap my keys so that i get my original norweigan configuartion back?
Thanks much,
Ben.

Perhaps if you install HTC Connection Setup on this rom it should detect your Rogers Provider and set it up correctly.
You can find it in my shared files in my sig.
I am using it here in Toronto. I had to configure it mannually at first. But later, I have downloaded a new rom from HTC Club (Official Rom), that has all the settings for Rogers.
If you need call Rogers and tell them that you need help to set-up your data connection.
They've given me these Settings for manual config:
Rogers GPRS Config
Access Point Name: internet.com
Username: wapuser1
password: wap
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?
Hey Guys,
I'm really liking my first Android phone, but am having a heck of time working out the kinks. Phone calls and text work. Here's a list and if anyone can help out with any of them, I'd really appreciate it.
1. The phone constantly tries to do Sprint Auto-Activation. I *believe* this is causing the GUI to crash constantly...I've tried three ROMs and none run very stable. Is there a way to disable that pesky auto-activate?
2. I need data settings for Virgin or Boost. Coming from an iPhone, I don't see a setting for an APN anywhere. I think I have the settings, but I'm not sure I'm putting them in the right place.
3. Is there a special ROM I should install since I'm not on Sprint? I'm surprised there aren't more Verizon ROMs around.
Please help with any suggestions.
Realized this should probably be in the "General" instead....

So your on virginmobile but with a cdma hero? Awesome to get to the apn settings just hold the green call button down till you get the voice dial or just do it from your menu. When it comes up say, "open apns". It will take you to the apns. Are you rooted? Also to get the phone to stop doing that pesky
Thanks for the help. I'm working on the APN stuff now. I think your last post got cut short. I'd really like to know how to disable to auto-activate crap. I'm also getting invalid username/password, but I'm sure thats just becuase its trying to log into Sprint.
So u can use sprint phones on virgin mobile? please how do u do this..that 25 buck plan looks to good to pass up.. How would i say use my hero on virgin mobile..
I'm only able to place calls and text. NO DATA which is driving me nuts. I need the APN/Data settings for VM, but no one seems to have them.
And my phone keeps trying to do Sprint auto-activation, which is also driving me nuts. And I keep getting GUI crashes no matter which ROM I use. So far the process has been anything but smooth.
Does anyone have ideas on disabling Sprint auto-activation? Thanks!

I knows this isn't much help but do a search for cricket. I saw a way earlier just gotta find it cuz i'm not doing anything i'll look to ..... try this enter ##data# then hit edit enter your msl then turn off vocoder. Also hit menu then commit changes
I'm pretty sure I seen an APK in the phone somewhere that was related to the over the air activation stuff... might wanna look for it.
I could be wrong, that may be for the Moment, but that's Android on Sprint too so I dont see why the Sprint Hero would be different.
I too am really interested in putting my Hero on Virgin Mobile US. Has anyone figured out the data settings for wap/apn and whatever else is needed? If not, if one were to purchase a cheap virgin phone, say a jax, could the information be taken from there?
Also, would it be necessary to use a non-sprint ROM since virgin mobile runs on the Sprint network???? Thanks for any help.
Ok, I tried the BitterSweet and the nags went away and everything is running smooth on my Hero...I'm really liking it. Just no DATA. I'm still waiting on settings from someone. I tried VM tech support and they didn't even know what an APN was...seriously.
Yes, you can buy a cheap $10 Virgin Mobile phone and use those "settings" for the Hero. That's all I'll say about that.

Lol, not asking about that one setting. I already knew that part, I mean if someone were to buy a cheap phone would they be able to get all the settings, apn/wap and so on from it. If so, which phone, and what else would be needed?

can program your apns in by holding down the green call button and saying "open apns" also try pushing ##data# and you'll get a menu with data and mms stuff. Another note I've been doing some research to avoid the overpriced $75 dollars to get the phone flashed to metropcs and (two things) one they say they've rooted the hero. Two they say that for a normal flash all they do is change the prl.
I've accessed the ##DATA# and APN menus, but I have no idea what to change them to. I've also looked into PRLs but I can't seem to find one for Virgin. I know they just use the Sprint network so wouldn't the PRL be the same?
If anyone is really interested in using the Hero on Virgin, Boost, or Cricket PM me. I searched the internet for hours finding all the info and I don't mind helping someone else out. The more people we get working on this, the more likely we are to figure these settings out.

**** I'm trying to get it to work on metro. My main thing right now is to stop it from doing the hands free activation. I know we have slightly separate goals but that is something we could work on together. What you really need is for the op of this thread to send you his prl.
I got rid of the Sprint Auto-Activation by installing BitterSweets ROM. It's working great so far.

Unfortunately for me the phone I wanna do this on is a nonrooted phone. I did find a good really good explanation here
Just realized you were the op can you upload your prl for others? A full nandroid would be awesome
The PRL I'm using is the standard one that comes with the Hero. I haven't changed it. I can upload it, but it should be one everyone has by default on Sprint. I forget the version...

okay if it's 60665 or 60664 don't worry about it thanks though
A friend I work with has a Droid that was originally verizon. They guy he bought it from flashed it to work on cricket and put a 2.1 rom onto it that has problems doing various tasks.
I know there are many newer roms that work great on the droid, but would he need to find a rom that is made for that particular purpose? Or is it something that is totally separate and not be affected?
I just switched to Cricket. It is done outside of the rom.
I just searched and found it. You have to download a bunch of software and do several things with each one. Not difficult, just a lot of steps.
After you change carriers, any rom you install will use that one.
One other thing. There is a $15 fee from Cricket to add a different esn number. Just whine and they will waive it.
I switched to cricKet as well. You need to set up your APN after each ROM switch or you'll have a bit of trouble using data and you won't be able to send or receive MMS. I didn't use the APN provided by the tutorial in this thread because I always got stuck sending MMS and I had to use QPST to get 3G working, but I've got it all working. What problems are you having, exactly?
Sent from my Droid using XDA Premium App
He is running a dirty version off Eclair that has numerous bugs. different features crash every time they are accessed.
It has been flashed before, and then put onto cricket. so if the steps to make it fully functional on cricket have been done, do they need to be redone after a newer rom is installed?
