Sky Sports on T-Mobile UK £5 a month - I can't make it work.....HELP! - General Topics

http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/mobile-tv-video-services/mobile-tv/getting-started/
I just want to be able to watch Sky Sports on my HTC Tytn, but for the life of me I can't find either a version of 't-zones; or 'web'n'walk' that has any links to it for me to follow:
T-Mobile LIES! said:
There are two ways to access Mobile TV on your phone
Accessing Mobile TV through web'n'walk:
Open up the web'n'walk homepage from the main menu and select the Mobile TV tab at the top of the page
You will then be taken through to a page with three Mobile TV options including T-Mobile TV and Sky Mobile TV. Click on the option you want
Accessing Mobile TV through t-zones:
Open up the t-zones homepage from the main menu and click the Mobile TV icon in the centre of the page

All I can think is that the wap sites recognise my device as not being a mobile, so direct me to the full version, so I can't find the right links??
Anyone know what's going on and how I can get both my sanity back and Skysports???

UPDATE - I've tried the web'n'walk demo on the t-mobile website, with a Nokia N95 you get this:
http://surf.yospace.com/tmobile/wnw/nokian95/
But with the MDA Compact, you don't get the TV or Games tab at the top of the screen.
Is there a way of tricking t-mobile into thinking I'm a phone? I can't imagine that it's because my Vario II can't use the content!

I had this problem after flashing a new rom.
Anyway, the answer to your problem is:
http://10.111.189.31
Type that into you web browser. Sky sports is really good

work for me just t-mobile-favourites.co.uk
im using t-mobile beta rom

t-mobile-favourites.co.uk doesn't work, probably something in the t-mobile ROM that lets it work. I'm using Black Satin. If you're at all registry-savy, perhaps you could have a look through the registry for any T-Mobile keys?
No probs if you can't as that IP address does work.
Thanks guys.

Actually, back-track, that ip address works for the t-mobile live tv, the 3.50 subscription, but not the Sky Sports subscription that's 5.00 a month.
Does anyone have the ip address for that?
cheers.

http://10.111.189.31/servlet/do=
http://10.111.189.31/servlet/download?p=3Dwnw
thats mine

I get a 404 Not Found error from that one - the url doesn't look complete?

cheers for the edit, but the link still just goes to the t-mobile 3.50 subscription page, not the page that lets you pay 5.00 to watch the Sky Sports channels.
Help!!!

well if i do the £5 1 ill hav to just for going to the page
http://t-mobile-favourites.co.uk/en/mobiletv.jsp
you can choose on thet page

That link just comes up with a page not found error for me.
My head hurts! Why can't these things just work??

I've just tried http://t-mobile.sky.com and thats told me that my handset isn't compatible with Sky Mobile TV! More lies!

sorry try
http://t-mobile.sky.com/default.asp

I only actually got the TV application to work by using either a WM5 Rom, or the T-Mobile Test Rom, by going to the tmobile home page, the option for TV is not in the menu....

Ha ha ha, that gives me the same "Your handset isn't compatible" error page.
Am beginning to think that they don't want my money!!
What ROM are you running and is there any specific references to T-Mobile in your registry? I think I'm missing something that will stop the website identifying my phone the way it is at the moment!

Is there any chance one of you that has it working could export the registry to a file and email it to me so I can have a look at it?

I am using the t-mobile test rom. Before I was using one f the black roms. When it wasn't working for me, I just emailed t-mobile and asked them for the link and they emailed it back to me

What link was that, do you remember it off the top of your head and did you get it to work with the Black ROM?

Sorry it was the link I previously posted. This allowed me to access the tv..
However, after flashing the test rom, the t.v was already set up via web n walk and I was able to then choose Sky.
I think the easiest thing to do, if you really want sky sports is to flash the test rom.

I'm sure you can understand why I don't really want to do that for the sake of a few registry settings, so I think I'll try and find a fix first - I've missed all the weekends football now anyway!
My extended rom contains all the stuff from my WM5 T-Mobile ROM still, so the registry settings I'm after may well be in there.
I have a cab that looks likely, PP_pIESetting_TMUK_050906.cab should I just give this a whirl?
Do you have a similar file in the ext ROM on your device?

No Vodafone Live/You Tube app

As most people will know; VF left out this application.
I am told this is because VF believe that business users dont like entertainment (!) and therefore wouldnt use it. Also, that WM phones dont 'do wap'. Can that be right? I am sure my old Omnia had VF Live on it.
Anyway, I think in order for me to get Sky Sports Mobile TV, I need to access it through the VF Live WAP portal.
Anyone know if this has been sorted for us on these forums? I found one vodafone live .cab but that didnt work and just mucked up my connection settings (unless I did something wrong).
This phone also doesnt have the YouTube app (it's entertainment again you see). A VGA .cab of that would be good too
Thanks

WM phone do support WAP and can be accessed from the Touch Pro on the vodafone network. However, you can not get onto the Vodafone Live Website due to the fact that their servers do not recognise the phone browser and therefore defaults to the vodafone live page that is accessed from your desktop. To my knowledge there is no work around for this.
I believe that if you change the user agent of opera or internet explorer to that of a supported mobile phone, you are then able to view the vf live wap portal pages.
Sadly, i don't know the user agent of a supported phone, but I'm sure something like a Nokia N95 would be compatible.
obviously, we would now need to find the user agent string for that device and try that.....
Apparently the N95 user agent string is...
Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.2; U; Series60/3.1 NokiaN95/11.0.026; Profile MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413
I have got it working, but you have to create another connection with the following settings
Make an internet connection,
use cellular line GPRS 3G
Access Point NAME: wap.vodafone.co.uk
username: wap
Password: wap
then for this connection you need to setup a proxy.
Http: 212.183.137.12:8799
weird that vodafone does something like this!
Here in the netherlands if I go to the vodafone site they say proudly that ya can use youtube as well!
I have a ( general) TP without a simlock...no I had the youtube app pre-installed. With vodafone as my current provider it works great...

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately you lost me at "User String".
But on a positive it looks like I can get this up and running. Could you kindly guide me through it (the Mozilla bit not the connection settings).
Do I install it as obviosuly my Touch Pro doesnt have it.
Thanks!
I just flashed my UK voda TP with the ROMeOS ROM and the youtube app works perfectly, no need to adjust any settings, (unlike T-mob)

In Opera you need to type "opera:config" into the address bar....
Then select the option that appears in the navigation window.
Scroll down to "User prefs" and select it....
Scroll down to "Custom User Agent" and type the text string above into the box
Scroll down the page and choose "Save"....
Now when you try to access live.vodafone.com using the wap settings mentioned you should be able to access the Live portal....Haven't tried watching Sky TV etc, so don't know how well that works.....

Would you post the exact link to it please? Did you have to do any CID/app unlock shennigans first!?
@ice-coffee:
I'm the same. I'm thinking of flashing my ROM. Is it possible to backup the current ROM if all goes Pete Tong?
I've never flashed a ROM, scares me a bit and want to do it!
where do I start?
Thanks!

Hiya
You know what, having read all that, I think I'm gonna try and get the Youtube app working on the device with the VF Rom left exactly as it is.
I'm up for tweaking plenty, but I also need to rely on this as a phone and messaging device, and can't afford one crash or fail really.

I tried that. But VF removed the straeming media app as well. Also no VF Live so no mobile TV.
Thats ALOT of tweaking.
Hmm, OK. rock and hard place!
I'm going to try and will let you know if I can get it working. I really don't fancy the idea of flashing and installing 1000 tweaks/apps that my device doesn't need.

Youtube CAB

anyone able to make a CAB for the youtube app? seems like Tmob UK have removed this for some reason!!
I have an branded Uk HD2 with T-mobile PAYG sim and YouTube finds no videos! they must be blocking...
I need the Youtube program too!! if I put an original HTC rom on the phone as a replacement
1. will the youtube program work?
and
2.will the t-mobile internet settings be difficult to re-install ?
Hi,
here is the CAB.
with friendly greet
starbase64
T-Mobile aren't blocking the YouTUbe app. I suspect that the Youtube App was taken out in error as they haven't taken it out of any of their other devices (such as the G2 Touch), and that supports high quality YouTube clips, as does the T-Mobile Touch 2 and probably loads more of their handsets.
Make sure you get the childlock removed on TMObile. you have to ring them up to do this. It stops you viewing any user generated (potentially nasty) content. Crazy that it's on by default and they make you turn it off rather than the other way around.
I had to ring up twice to get them to do it for me.
Saying that, now YouTube works perfectly over HSDPA but not over WiFi.
Oh and I also removed TMobiles proxy that is set up. This was stopping Twitter from working so I don't know if that had an affect on YoUTube also
I asked TMobile tech support about the proxy and why it was needed and why it was added if it can just be removed but they couldn't tell me anything. They had no clue and could only advise me on what the settings should be.
Be aware to install this cab for a german t-mobile device!
after install, no videos in HTC album are playing.
Hopefully a working Youtube.cab or a fix for this comes on.
You can find the program in the windows directory, make a shortcut in start/program/
...
As Chimp said, TMobile block practically all video sites through the phones data conection, not the WiFi.
This will stop any videos downloading through the YouTube app. Only way you can get round it is calling them up, getting the block removed and away you go.
Some what annoying, when you give them your D.O.B anyway... surely they must know you're over 18 to watch "inapropriate" videos anyway!?
You can just log into the t-mobile website and untick the content block, no need to bother calling them up going through the countless menus.

AmazonMP3 & Blockbuster APPS!

Here are the cabs for these apps! Credit to michealmyers for the uploads
NETCFv35[1].Messages.EN.wm is needed for Blockbuster app
Thanks for sharing...
Any infos about the apps? Is Amazon MP3 multilanguage-version or does it only work in UK/USA?
Thank you !
amazon works anywere but i think blockbuster is usa only
yep, the blockbuster one doesn't seem to do a huge amount on mine either - stock / unbranded HD2 UK.
Both runs on mine O2 HD2 but I think they are only for US customers.
If you find a way to use amazon one in UK, can you let me know how
thanks
I am using it on AT&T 3G in US...
Blockbuster - Really is kinda buggy...If I click "Get it", it doesn't actually do anything...Pushing the Settings button doesn't do anything, and I am guessing thats where you login? So I couldn't get to my Queue...
Amazon MP3 - Works just like it should I guess...
Problems on TMO US HD2
I can search and do everything except buy. When I try to by, I get Purchase Started: Success but User Authenticated: Fail. Same problem with free titles. I have verified my e-mail address and password and verified that I can buy online from PC.
nope i cant blockbuster get it to work in the uk boohoo lol
Cant get amazon to work, in the UK
Same here

I was able to stream a sample of a free song, but not download.
if the blockbuster app is not responding to you clicking Get it... it is the old versions...
when the phone was available for training.. the app was on the phone.. but acted the same way.. it was only the day before official launch (march 24th) that the cab then updated to version... 2.33?? i believe (the ones not working was 2.15 and 2.16)... only then did the get it option work.
not being in the US... idk if you will automatically receive updates of newer versions once installed...

LOL, MobiTv sudenly get connections from all over the world and in particular from (for them not yet existing) HD2 devices. I would love to see the faces of those technicians over there!
Anyway, MobiTv is really cool. I particularly love the cartoons-on-demand service. Some real nice classics they got.
Here is the most updated version...I just downloaded it

mobi tv cab

Come on you were a noob 2 at once, i wanna be the cool kid and show all my friends what i can do! ALL THE GIRLS ARE GONNA LIKE ME!
Dont we still need to pay for the service to view live TV using this Cab
Used 109484 cab posted and able to install to SD card. It runs fine and after the agreement it prompts for a newer version. I can only either update or exit the program. I downloaded and install the new updates it provided and this new version can only be installed to main memory. After launch it says can't find connection and just shut down. Anyone else able to get this to run on their non-Tmobile HD2?

Sprint Music Store in Energy ROM?

Okay, I've spent the last 3 days looking for any info on accessing the Sprint Music Store after installing an Energy ROM. I've found a couple things that looked promising, but nothing has worked. If there is already an answer here somewhere, I'm sorry, but I've missed it.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Is there a specific reason why you would even want sprint music store? You could get off a lot cheaper by signing up for a different plan through an online network. (there are plenty) Plus you can use just about any mobile browser to download your songs.
There may be, but I have never seen a Sprint Music Store program for a flashed ROM (Unless the chef has specifically cooked it into his recipe.)
BUT..................... If you are really hard up for sprint music downloads, you can just go to the sprint mobile website and download any of their mobile apps/music.
Hope this helps.
It's not that I HAVE to have the Sprint Music store, but.... our contract at work gives us a few free downloads each month, and I already have almost 100 songs that I can't use now that I've flashed my ROM.
It looks like Sprint took away the ability to log on to their website and download songs.
I am able to log on to the sprint website and download. Are you using Pocket Internet Explorer or Opera? You should be able to use PIE or Opera 9.5 and login/download. I am not sure about newer versions of opera/opera mini/skyfire/etc.

Which ROM are you using? Energy ROM comes with Opera 10 and they are not cooking Sprint Music in to that ROM.
When you say you can log on to the Sprint website and dowload, what do you mean? Can you be a little more specific? What URL are you using?
I am using NRG "Leo" ROM March 7 23542 WM 6.5.5 w/ Sense 2.5.2012
If you don't want to use the Opera 10 Beta, just install a different version. Grab a cab file anywhere and find the browser that works best for you.
If you go to "sprint.com" and at the bottom left of the screen click the "digital lounge" link you have access to everything you can possibly download to your phone through sprint. Games, wallpapers, ringtones, calltones, and music. (among others).
The exact address of the generic digital lounge is:
https://manage.sprintpcs.com/Manage...HP_DME_Link_ShopDigitalLounge!26zone=Overview
Although to purchase anything, you have to sign in to your sprint vision account.
Hope this helps, let me know if there is anything else you need help with on this....

Yes, I see the music link here, but when I log in, it goes away and is replaced by a TV/Radio link. I heard Sprint was only going to allow certain devices to only download music on the device, and that seems to be true from what I'm seeing.
Sorry, didn't even go that far with it. I gave up on the sprint store back when I had my PPC6700 (BTW I have had the exact same phones as in your sig... except for the diamond.)
only thing I could suggest is to flash a shipped ROM, download away at the music store, and move the music files to your storage card. Sucks but I have nothing else, and haven't found anything in the way of installing the software for it.

I thought of that before I flashed the ROM, but it seems as though there's no way to keep the DRM intact. None of the downloaded songs play anymore.
