I just flashed my HTC Wizard with Core 2.0n. Its a G4 Locked wizard with TMo in the USA. I have the full PDA $30 (Or is it $20) a month data plan. My GPRS settings are as follows
Proxy
216.155.165.050:8080
Authentication
Tried both CHAP and PAP
Modem Thingy
wap.voicestream.com
I have tried to put the ip as follows
216.155.165.050
216.155.165.050_
216.155.165.50
216.155.165.50_
The line means that there is a space after the last digit. When I try all these settings, I get different errors in IE - It either halts on "Locating", or says the page was downloaded but corrupted, or the page cant be accessed. Also, I tried running the cab file I found on the forums, but that wont work either. Also, when I send/recieve mail, it says it cant connect with current connection settings.
Someone please let me know how to configure the GPRS!
if you're paying full price, then you probably wont need the proxy. so disable the proxy!
and I think you will want to use
internet2.voicestream.com
if that didnt work
internet3.voicestream.com
wap.voicestream.com is for t-mobile winwap service
Definately fix the IP address to end .50 (no spaces)
--M
if you have the t-mobile total internet plan then you don't need a proxy at all. also replace wap.voicestream.com with internet2.voicestream.com.
okay first thing is first... like everyone said get rid of the proxy.
second contrarty to what everyone is thus far saying, don't change your access point name to internet2.voicestream.com just yet.
Do the following:
Start----Settings---Connections----Connections---Manage Existing Connections----Delete what you have there----Create a New connection and enter in the following info:
Name: T-Mobile Data
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access Point Name: wap.voicestream.com
Leave user name, password, and domain blank and click Finish.
Try connecting now. If this works your set; if it doesn't work then edit this and try using internet2.voicestream.com for the access point name. The thing is that if you use internet2 and you want to use the T-Mobile mail triggers application you won't be able to as it is not supported by default on the internet2 access point.
As for your MMS settings it should be as follows:
Server name: T-Mobile
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port Number: 8080
Server Address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect Via: T-Mobile (whatever you data connection is called)
Sending size limitation: 300K
WAP Version: WAP 2.0

Oh guys . Thank you for ur help. I will try what u suggested and will tell u tomorrow (I dont have strong cell signal at my house)
I never knew i didnt need the proxy. The tmobile wireless configurator said I did I guess I'm just stupid.
Also, just wondering, I have the Core 2 rom. My battery life goes from 100%, 99,98,97,96, then 5%, 4%, then shuts off. It just misses all the numbers in the middle. The Core 2 Rom thread is 50+ pages long, and I cant find a sure answer. Any suggestions as to how to fix this? Thanks again.

wap settings
You have to setup a connection
you can either use
wap.voicestream.com or internet2.voicestream.com
add a new connection
then when it asks for a apn use either of the ywo that were aboved mentioned
no username or password
I removed the proxy then set the wap thing to internet2.voicestream.com. I also tried wap and internet 3.
I reset the connection, but when I boot up PIE, it says connceting. Then after establishing a connection, it says
The answering moden has dissconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings.
I did remove the proxy and set the WAP thing properly. What do I do now?
Here is the breakdown for t-mobile USA
If you are paying $29.99 this is the internet with a hotspot login account. With this, you simply make a profile with NO proxies, and access point: internet2.voicestream.com . With this setup, you can use your phone as a modem for your laptop.
If you are paying for $5.99 T-zones, you can browse the majority of the web but a few sites are not accessible (i.e. cannot connect to sites such as www.myspace.com) and cannot use this as a modem. In this case, you NEED to have proxies. access point will be wap.voicestream.com with proxies:
216.155.165.50
(.050 is INCORRECT)
HTTP port is 8080, the rest will be the defualt value it suggests.
wap.voicestream.com will NOT work unless you are using the $5.99 t-zones (which they tell you will not work if you ask them for it (b/c they want you to pay more); but i assure you it does)
But for broader internet access, the $29.99 plan will be ideal as it has no website restrictions (though i haven't run into many other than myspace.com with the $5.99 plan)

most of what you posted is correct. however you CAN use the phone as a modem with the $5.99 plan. you just have to specify the proxy in your browser just like you do on the phone.
you also skipped the part about the BB plan for $19.99. it's a trick but it will give you full internet like the total internet plan but for $10 cheaper. it uses wap.voicestream.com and no proxy. you have FULL internet capability and can tether.
I still am having the same problem. What type of authentication do I use? PAP or CHAP?
two things
wap.voicestream.com does work no matter what
make sure when setting up your connection that you select the one you are testing as a defalt or the later will happen. Also you can click and hold the connection name down and say connect.
Lastly call t-mobile and verfiy that they did accidently remove data. Trust me happen more often than not

A patch was posted on May 9th that blocked out and patched the free wap internet. Its a pity. But even if you use the proxy, the websites that were blocked on your phone would still be blocked on your computer becuase you're using the same proxy ports. The reason i didn't mention blackberry is cuz some idiot is gonna read it and ask a t-mobile rep about the blackberry plan for their MDA. I personally have the blackberry plan, but i dont need some stupid noob to mess it up for me and the rest of us. The last thing we need is another internet patch!

oh i know all about the patch as I work for them. ya the free internet is gone but you can still tether with the $5.99 with the proxy. you make a good point that i failed to mention though as it's going to have the same port restrictions that you would have on the phone....so just basic HTML and email.
personally I don't see how they can stop the BB plan from being used on a MDA or any device for that matter. Trust me, t-mobile knows about that "work around" but as of yet, they haven't done anything about it.

It's all about user perception. The general user will select their device on mytmobile and see what services tmobile "offers" for it. The general user assumes that tmobile is only showing thm what will work with their device. The rest of us know otherwise and chhose our device according to the services we "know" will work with whatever device we choose.
While it does suck that the "free" service is gone, thats just what it was, FREE. Oh well. I'll just keep paying $5.99 and using the proxy. As it has been said before, most sites will work and as long as PUSH from my exchange works I could care less about browsing.
Try this
Change your gprs authentication setting from chap to pap.

yep. one thing that does piss me off about the $5.99 plan is that MSN/Live Messenger won't work. I guess it uses a non standard port so I would need the full data plan for it. Unless you guys have a work around for it or maybe a program that you can specify the port or it uses SMS instead of data.
Chap to Pap!
In the USA, I beleive it should be Chap!
What should it be? CHAP or PAP?
Also, I have a really low signal strength around my house. I wanted to know if theres a good but small antenna I can buy to plug into the antenna port on the back of the phone to get better reception.
Hi there,
What are the differences between those "connection types" found in my WM6 smartphone: Secure WAP Network, WAP Network, The Work, The Internet ?
The reason I ask for this is that I have an MMS plan with my provider and I need to configure the MMS settings properly so that I don't get billed for all that GPRS data... so far it hasn't worked and I'm using the "Secure WAP network" connection type when asked, should I switch to "The Internet" type?
Thanks all for your help,
highmighty
I upgraded to wm6 and email setting doesnt have WAP?It only has Internet or work.Anyone know how to get email and internet with WM6?
wow nobody?
nobody knows the answer?
Follow this guide to get the internet setup (t-zones), then in email try work first, if that does not work, try internet.
1. In Settings/Connections/GPRS/T-Mobile Data:
Tmobile Data Connects to: WAPNetwork
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
2. Add a 2nd GPRS option:
T-Mobile Data 2
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
3. Then create TWO Proxies:
Settings/Connections/Proxy
First Proxy:
Name:Tzones Proxy
Connects from: WAP Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Second Proxy:
Name Tzones Proxy 2 Connects from: Work
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
4. In connections, click menu, then advance and set ALL connections to AUTOMATIC
5. To get the Exchange Server working:
(Exchange Server settings)
Options/Advanced
Connection: Internet
6. To get Pop mail accounts working:
(This will need to be done for each account you have)
Options/Account settings/Advanced Server Settings
Network Connection: Work
NOTE! The option to select which way to connect isn't available until you finish creating the POP account (go back in and change to: Work)
7. To get IE working:
(In Pocket Internet Explorer) Menu/Tools/Options/Connections
Check "Automatically Detect Settings"
Select Network: WAP Network
That should do it! Not all applications will work with this configuration, but Messaging (Exchange/POP3/IMAP) and Pocket Internet Explorer will work. Credits for the WM6 instructions to go http://dashapps.googlepages.com/ ! If the above instructions don't work, try completely deleting the connections and re-adding them.
wow thats funny, i had the exact same problem with my phone and tzones, and i figured out the exact same solution, cept on mine i dont need the proxy for the work connection to get the email to work and i have ie set to internet.
SDA instant messenger

PS thanks Elsmacko for the previous help!

Hi people. I'm relatively new to Windows Mobile world, I'm used to symbian. Since I bought my WM phones I've never used wap sites, but now that I need I cant.
My network settings were set automatically by the operator (TIM Brasil), there is a GPRS/EDGE/3G connection and a WAP Connection (work).
The question is: how do I access wap sites? If I put a wap address in opera it just says "Error! You tried to access the address bla-bla, which is currently unavailable...etc"
It happens that the phone dont even try to connect to that wap connection when I get this error, its instantaneous (neither tries the edge connection)
I hope I made myself clear, I'm terrible in english writting, sorry.

Have you tried opening a WAP address in Pocket Internet Explorer? As far as I know it supports WAP.
HTH
Even OPERA support wap sites, cause i use it everyday to access various websites... There might be some settings issue...!!!
