My 8125 has been SIM/CID unlocked and I've loaded numerous WM6 ROMs and currently have CROSSBOW RELOADED running. Never a problem (well maybe a few !!) flashing Faria's Roms or others. Thanks for all the GREAT ROM work!! I also have a ROM Kitchen ROM version I loaded too!!
The ONE issue I have is that the GPRS/EDGE data connection refuses to connect. I live in area with EDGE but I fail to see the E or G icon pop up EVER. When the modem tries to dial the G icon appears briefly but I get the "no connection...." message.
WiFi and Bluetooth work like a champ on all ROMs loaded.
I thought that this behavior might be caused by Radio ROM and I've loaded the following with same results: 2.40.11, 2.47.11, and currently have 2.19.11 running. I also went back to Cingular 2.25.11 without success.
At one point I flashed back to the button 1.05 in hopes of cleaning stuff out! I then upgraded to stock Cingular 2.25 and same problem. No data connect. I then when ahead and flashed up to WM6 (Crossbow_reloaded).
Yes, I have a $20/mo Cingular data plan and I'm using the standard WAP settings for Cingular.
What am I missing???
Appreciate your help!!

Hmmm. Sorry to ask such a question, but does it do it when you're unplugged from the USB cable?
Under Start - Settings - Connections - Connections - Advanced - Select Networks, did you try both My ISP and MEdia Net?
Try these cabs if you haven't already:
Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, I'm disconnected from USB while testing data connection.
I ran both of the cabs you included in response, but no help.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
I have wondered if there is a chance that some flag is set in the SIM that is preventing my connection. Anyone have experience here?
THX,
I've never had an issue with GPRS/EDGE after running either of the cabs above. I'm curious if you were to go back to the stock Cingular rom if it would all start working, or if there is some other issue going on here.
Also, for Cingular, if you are running WM6, don't even attempt to use any radio other than T-Mo 2.19 UK. Newer ones just seem to cause problems on the Cingular network with WM6.
I believe I have flashed back to stock Cingular 2.25 with this: (RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1).
I get same symptoms. I tried both "MY ISP" and "MEDIA Net" network settings with same results. I ran the cabs sent in this thread a couple of days ago too.
Specifically, I start IE and enter a web address and tap the green arrow to open the page. The little G appears w/moving arrows in the top bar and the info box says "Connecting to: Cingular GPRS". It stops and tries again and eventually the info box says: "Cannot connect: Dialed wap.cingular. There is no modem at this number".
Anything else to try?
Appreciate your help!

According to prubin (poster in the above thread), Cingular discovers you are on the wrong plan for your PDA and automatically disables your access. I don't know how true that is, but it may be time for a call to Cingular to verify your connection and plan.

Not true at all.
The only reason they disable the accounts has nothing to do with the device, but the amount of data usage.
Those yahoos were probably using > 500mb of data a month, or something insane that threw the flag.
Cingular doesn't care what type of device you have. It's just a marketing gimmick for them.
Yeah if you can't connect on the stock Cingular rom (the extended rom configuration will set all the GPRS and MMS stuff up for you so its ready to go) then you need to call Cingular, as its either them blocking you (not sure how they would do that really) or your phone has an issue. Be prepared, it seems Cingular will do some basic troubleshooting and then they'll offer to ship you a new phone. They don't take much time to really look into why a problem happens if its not very basic. I had a question about MMS messages and after a couple of minutes they were ready to ship me a replacement phone. I just laughed at how dumb that was. I let them note it in my account so I can get a future replacement very easily, but declined at the time.
A guy I work with has had Cingular replace (warranty exchange) his 8125 3 or 4 times now (he gets a scratch on it, so he calls and tells them some feature doesn't work)... Sheesh.

Yep, I totally agree. But the cell companies don't seem to discourage it either.

My buddy got a new phone and gave me his old 8125 to play with. He loaded it with a rom from this site, think it was the TNT OS (ver 3 i beleive). I used to use the sliver and was able to send/receive pictures and video messages. Ever since i put my sim card in this phone i cannot, when i receive one it gives me the option to download it but then download fails after connecting to GPRS. When trying to send one the same thing happens connects to GPRS and fails. I can send/receive SMS fine, just not picture/video messages. Anybody know what i need to do to fix this?

maybe you should reconfigure your MMS settings..
See the following links, screenshots are for WM5, but is similar in WM6. Depending on the version of Arcsoft's MMS, may be different ways to get to the MMS settings...

There are also various CAB files you can find on here to automatically set these up...

Good luck!
i dont have the mms configuration secton like those howto's have, i need to figure out i guess what is on this phone and maybe put somthing newer on it. I just dont want to kill the phone, havnt really done this stuff before.
try this automated network configuration, developed by one of the guys here in xda-dev, install, then go to start/settings/connection/network wizard, choose your country and your cell provider and just wait for instructions
just a fyi for anybody who cares or anybody else with the same problem but this attachment/cab fixed the problem!

I could use some help re-establishing internet connectivity for my 8125.
Background:
The phone had been running mfrazzz's WM6r3 ROM and I loved it.
A few weeks ago I'd begun having intermittent problems synchronizing my Hotmail account using my 8125. Usually the first attempt to do a send/receive each day would fail to synchronize but then each subsequent send/receive would work fine unless I hadn't used the phone in several hours.
Then about three days ago the send/receive action would lock up while attempting to synchronize in Hotmail and the send/receive would eventually fail.
I searched this forum as well as the Howard forum but could not find any help with this problem so I decided to re-flash the ROM in the hope that doing so would correct any corrupt file(s) that might the reason for the synchronization failure.
So, yesterday I flashed the ROM, this time installing the new WM6r4 that mfrazzz put up a few weeks ago. I followed the correct procedure of first flashing to the 2.26 Tmobile ROM which I followed with the 3.08 TMobile ROM and then the new WM6r4 ROM. I've also installed the 2.69 radio, the Cingular Fix cab and used the Cingular gprs/mms settings cab linked in mfrazzz's post.
Current situation:
Now I have no internet connectivity whatsoever. I realize that this is probably a settings issue, but I hadn't had this problem before when I've used the Cingular settings cab.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? If I need to provide any further background, I'll be glad to do so.
Thanks.
This may or may not solve your problem, but with a similar config (8125/XM6R4/Cingular), I suddenly had no internet connectivity starting last Wednesday night (December 19). I seemed to have a working a GPRS or EDGE connection, everything looked fine, but no application could connect to the internet. and there was no indication on the web of any outage and my wife's Cingular Blackberry worked fine. (This is in Washington, DC.)
I eventually fixed it by going into connections/manage existing connections, and changing the access point name from wap.cingular to isp.cingular, and in the user name, also replacing wap with isp. I did this on a whim, and it worked. There seems to be an elaborate debate on various sites about whether wap.cingular or isp.cingular is faster or better, but all I know is that as of the last few days, isp works and wap didn't. Maybe the wap server was just offline for a couple days.
Unfortunately, before I stumbled on this solution, I thought the ROM might be the problem, so I did a hard reset and now I have to set the thing up again. Oh well! Otherwise, I'm very happy with the XM6R4 rom.
Yes, something is wrong. I have the EXACT symptoms posted above. I will try the fix (renaming the wap.cingular and username...) I wonder if ATT is changing somethign on us.....
the fix above does NOT work for me. I think that ATT has changed something.
Fixed it.... I had to remove the DNS server IP address and select "Use server assigned address"... now it works....
Thanks for the help. I've been out of touch with the net for a week or so on vacation or I'd have replied sooner.
I checked and found that my DNS server setting was already set for a server-assigned IP address so I tried the WAP to ISP switch that mschmitt recommended. That worked and now I have rapid connectivity just as I'd expected with this ROM.
tmobile issue
im having the same problem but i have tmobile can anybody post the steps to fix this?
update : i hade to change my acess point name to internet2.voicestream.com

This worked for me after upgrading to WM6. I had to reset after doing all that, then the error went away.
Install gsm radio update!

Periodically I get the remote party connection ended message even with the latest radio update and ROMs.
Usually it means that another GPRS connection has been added or my previous connection has decided to use a proxy or my proxy has been changed.
I have no idea why my settings don't stick, but I suspect that the phone gets confused between new Cingular and ATT settings it picks up automatically.
I think the ATT article is right on, only keep in mind that you are changing GPRS connection settings in WM6. It isn't obvious from the article.
Hello everyone,
Got my Touch Pro yesterday, first impressions were good but I just realised that there is no way to get my exchange to sync through 3G (or even GPRS).
I'm with 1and1, my parameters are fine (they work on my Vario III with the same SIM card). I'm with T-mobile (I know the 3G reception is not good on the TP, I had to switch to 2G to avoid getting cut off during a call, but I get 4 bars from my desk in a loft, so that shouldn't be a problem!).
I tried the default t-mobile parameters setup by the touch, and I tried to configure the connection manually with the parameters that work well with my Vario III:
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
User name: user or nothing (instead of T-mobile)
Password: pass or nothing
Still a no go. I get the same error message:
Activesync cannot reach the server. Check that the server address and proxy server settings are correct.
Support code: 0x80072F78
I've called 1and1 and they say they support WinMo6.1.
Anyone with T-mobile able to sync an exchange account on 3G/GPRS?
Would you mind sharing parameters?
I could live with the Touch Pro with 2G until they release a better rom/radio, but I can't live without push email/exchange!
By the way, there is no problem with the server itself or the exchange parameters, it synchronizes fine on wifi, so it looks like it's a touch pro (works on Vario III), winmo6.1 (works on Winmo 6.0) or t-mobile (works on wifi) issue!
Thanks for your help!
PS: before you ask, I did a hard reset to make sure there is no problem with third party software, this is after a hard reset...

Use the settings the connection manager applies automatically....untick the proxy server and you should be good to go, i also am on tmobile UK, same settings and use an exchange server. The proxy has been messing which alot of stuff recently, im sure theyve changed something on it since this happened on my Hermes aswell.
Perhaps flash the newer radio onto your Raph....update to HardSPL first then flash Radio 1.02.25.31 to your device from the wiki pages. Read everything to the letter and ul be fine.

Thank you, that was quick and efficient! Unticking the proxy did the trick (even with the manual parameters).

Not yet, trying to get the basics to work first. Used to do this with my Vario III (BT PAN) and was very happy with it. I'm hoping it will be faster with the TP.
Forgive me if I'm being think, but the radio you mentionned is listed as coming form Cingular in the wiki. Will it work with UK T-mob, and will it improve the 3G reception issue?

Ive had some improvment with the reception yes, calls dont seem to drop as much, it works fine with tmobile.
it is possible.
Hi, I got a pro, use it on the dutch tmob netwerk, both G and H work fine with the (free) mail2web exchange service.
t-mobile uses standard proxy to bring webpages faster .. unfortionatly it doesnt map all other ports so youtube and such wont work either.. it keeps trying to connect when one plays a video. since it is not neccesary to have a proxyserver it is best practice to turn it off.

Hi MrVanx!
I've tried to setup my BT Pan as usual with my Vaio TZ11, and although the pairing and setup goes fine, when I try to connect I get a "connection is denied" error. Does the BT PAN work out of the box on the TP or do you need a tweak like on the Kaiser?
Sorry I'm afraid this was a "RTFM" case...
As the internet sharing option has disappeared from the comm manager, I assumed the connection was automatic...
Of course you need to launch internet sharing and select BT PAN...
It works great, I get 400-500kbps down and 300-400kbps down, 130-140ms ping. Far from my home broadband, but still good enough.
I tried with my Vario III, I get about the same results (with 3 bars on HSDPA on Kaiser, 4 on TP).
So two questions now:
1) Do you get better performance with T-Mobile UK on the Touch Pro (I'm in Salisbury)
2) Any way to bring Internet Sharing back to comm manager?
This worked for me
Man I wasted 30mins - had already read this post before I ordered and forgotten. XDA dev is the best!
Hi Guys,
I have just replaced my trusty Wizard (running Wizard Love ROM WM5 and working great on Orange UK) due to me damaging the external antenna plug which caused the whole phone to cease receiving a signal
I bought myself a replacement Wizard that has WM6.1 Pro ROM on it with HTC Touch Flo. I put my Orange SIM into it and cannot do much else now other than send & receive phone calls - no SMS, no GPRS, also cannot access the "phone" icon under the settings menu or even access the "SIM Manager" either.
Any ideas anybody? I suspect the Orange SIM myself!!
Many thanks in advance.
Mike.
Maybe your sim card is damaged in some strange way?
I'm not sure - the SIM works great in my other Wizard running WM5. In fact I had this same problem with my other unlocked Wizard, and it was only after changing to the "Wizard Love" ROM that it was sorted out.
I have read that it may be that the radio ROM needs updating - I don't really know.
I suspect there are other UK users out there on the Orange network who have WM6.1 running OK.
Cheers,
Mike.
Better check your SIM card in other phone for reliability ;] cheers
I have and the SIM works fine.
Although the OS is upgraded over what was on my previous Wizard, it would appear that the IPL/SPL and GSM are older versions on my replacement phone. Is it possible to upgrade these without affecting the WM6.1 install??
Cheers,
Mike.
After a lot of reading I seem to have now sorted out the problem.
I flashed a new radio ROM from 02.07.10 to 03.02.11. I put the SIM card back in and found I had a number of voicemail messages and SMS's waiting for me. No changes to any settings and I can now access SIM Manager etc, etc
I'm just happy that I'm back in communication!!
Well, further to the above I cannot now access GPRS or the MMS service.
I have tried all the GPRS settings from my older Wizard and flashed different Radio ROM's on my replacement Wizard. Now on Radio ROM 02.19.11 as I did read this seems the best one for the UK.
Anybody else on here use Orange (UK) for GPRS or MMS, and has it working so I can see where I'm going wrong??
Thanks in advance.
Mike.
I've done a lot of reading and had a play...seems to work now. I even have the "E" symbol on screen, so I'm getting an EDGE connection now that is a first!!
I was using CR86 Touch HD Cruise Edition, so I flashed XDA2's WM6.5 M2D ROM onto it instead. This then automatically picked up a GPRS/EDGE connection, but I could not access the SIM...I got the "the phone is not ready, wait 15 secs etc,etc" message. I then flashed the Radio ROM from 2.19.11 and took it up to 2.69.11 (I have previously tried 03.02.11, 02.37.11, 02.25.11, 02.19.11 to no avail)
Seems to work OK, I have sent & received a MMS messages & standard SMS now.
I just need to set up my email & sync my contacts (again)
