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

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.
hey i seem to have a problem with my mda's mms
i set it up yesterday after updating to WM6 and it was fully functioning this morning up until about 5 oclock. then when i soft reset my phone it gives me an error saying :
Dialed: wap.voicestream.com cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change if needed tap settings. If the problem continues reset your mobile device according to your manufactures doc and try again
can anyone help me out on what to do?
i was having the same issue. I cheated and called cust service and had them resend the configuration back over. worked like a charm.
so all i have to do is call cust service and tell them to send me the MMS settings?
or u can just change wap.voicestream.com to internet2.voicestream.com or you can try internet3.voicestream.com all of these are valid but only internet2.voicestream.com works for me...but all are used by t-mobile...check em out
I'm on Faria's wm6 rom and in the MMS server tab i dont have a place for the APN to be punched in.
The fields i have to fill are
server name, gateway, port, server address, connect via, sending size and wap version. i have these to the t-mo spec but am wondering where i would try the internet2.voicestream.com method mentioned above.
----------- Found it

Change the name of your connection.
If you've accessed mms and internet, your settings are correct.
This has happened to my several times and this was the fix.
its still not working ive used...internet2, internet3, and also wap.voicestream
can someone please help me out!
did you change the name of your connection like stated above?
i finally got it to work last night and then i restarted my phone and then tried it this morning and it was back to not working
any help??
hi all
im new here many thanks for that amazing group here.
i have yesterday upgraded my rom of my at&t tilt (kaiser tytn ii) to the new version, well all looks ok BUT...
since then i cant get internet connection and mms messages.
i have checked it the whole day today with my network company (im in israel) and we have reconfigured the modem connections but nothing its dead.
before i have done the upgrade all was just ok since yesterday its no connection.
i have checked arround and i found that there are many users that have the same problame all around the world.
since any mms message goes thru internet (etc. gprs,edge,hsdpa) i assume that the problame is with the internet connection and that blocks the mms messages.
my cell company told me that as she sees all is ok and i remember my settings too.
also even when i connect my tilt with usb to my computer i cant go on the web bacause it says "no connection".
i assume that they have planted in the registery any value that blocks any internet connection (as gprs etc.) if its not thru the own supllier, i can understand also why but the fact is that i get hspda connection and i see the icon of "connected" but somthing blocks it !!!!!
is there a way how we can digg in and remove that block that dosent allow the internert?????
is there a way to bypass it ????
or maybe i should go back to my old ROM is that possible????
again i remind u that:
1) all worked excellent till yesterday
2) the HSDPA establishes a connection but the explorer is dead.
3) i cant even connect thru my pc with usb while my pc is fully connected via dsl to the internet.
4) all setting are same and at once its "no connection"?
5) i see that meny users have that problame
if there is any way let me know
also how bad and ugly will it be if i go back to my old ROM and how do i do it.
many thanks
tachat.....

Where did you download the rom from???
I know the one at HTC America is intended & configured for AT&T customer in North America. If a ROM was not released on your local AT&T or HTC site, that may contribute to your issues.
You may want to DL the network configuration wizard & give it a go at reconfiguring your device.
some good news
hi all
many thanks for visniak you were right.
it was some hidden silly proxy that i needed to kick out.
now the internet works great BUT i cant send MMs messages.
the configuratins are all ok (i checked it today with my network company)
they say that thats a ROM problame (means that this might be a problame because i upgraded it to ROM 1.62)
is that right???
is there a solution???
many thanks
it's like BEZEQ and BEZEQINT
each blaming the other.............
I don't use MMS.
But most likely your settings are incorrect.
Does the new AT&T ROM solve the Low Volume when using Bluetooth?
That is the only iserious issue I have with the Tilt.
I have been a Symbian user forever and the AT&T Tilt(Unlocked and using it on another service provider in India) is my first exposure to Windows mobile. I upgraded to the new AT&T Rom(1.62.502.0) and the low bluetooth volume issue is sorted out...I'm using the SE 970 stereo BT headset, which is working fine.(ADVANCE that should solve ur query)
My only issue now is that i am unable to use the Internet Explorer thru GPRS. Strangely i could configure and download my E mails thru Outlook. Also, when I Sync the Tilt with my PC, IE works fine using the net connection from the PC. Any insight/clues why I'm facing this issue?
Just started getting a problem with the MMS on my Serra and not sure if anyone can let me know theirs please.
Under connections/My ISP I have
Mobile Web - Cellular Line (GPRS,3G), mobile.o2.co.uk, o2web/password, DNS 193.113.200.200, Alt DNS 193.113.200.201

Thanks
Sorry all fixed myself, my proxy settings were incorrect
What exactly was the error - I still cannot get MMS to work even with your seetings from your post?
I found out that mine was that a proxy server was enabled. I hook mine up to my laptop while in the office to charge and activesync with my Exchange server. Hadn't realised that it also enables my office proxy server.
crazyC, is the SIM in your Serra on O2 contract or Pay and Go? I'm guessing it's the former, but if it's the latter I know the settings...
Is it just MMS that's not working, or is your data connection (via telephone I mean) not working either?
It was just MMS that did not work.
I am on contract, and after a lot of digging and trialling of cabs that should have fixed it, but didn't, I have sussed it out and tested it.
I will roll the settings into my O2 setup cab, test it, and then post it if anyone wants it.
YES! Please post it.
I am using these settings on my contract o2, htc touch pro. all my 3g and internet works... just no mms.
I have sat here for four hours now messing around with it...
any chance of posting the settings that worked for you?
Try this
MMS Settings
o2uk - Gateway 193.113.200.195 port 9201, server address http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002. Connect via My Work Network
Other connections as per the normal O2 set up.
'My Work Network' shows up as O2 Active
Dont forget to set the O2MMS server as the default under MMS options
I havent tested this yet, but this cab SHOULD insert the O2 MMS settings - note you must already have the correct O2 network setup for calls and data, this is just the MMS bit.
im also having prblems with this, using the new Elite RC4. Im gunna reflash it and try again cuz i have fiddled with the settings too much
Edit - i tried the cab and the setting listed above it and neither worked for me
I have called O2 to see if they can help me and they sent me the some lame ass intruction which are exactly the same as on here... except afte you set up the o2web settings it says to use auto download for the rest :/
Whats the deal witht he proxy for the o2 active settings are they supposed to be on or off and if on, what do i set them as?
Installed the original O2 ROM to get all the settings working properly. It seems the missing details are in the WAP Proxy ones.
start - settings - connections - connection settings - manage existing under the 'my work network' (or whatever you renamed it too) - proxy (ensure use proxy is ticked) - advanced
WAP - 193.113.200.195:9201
SECURE WAP - 193.113.200.195:9203
Other than that settings are as they have been mentioned previously
MMS issues
I have extensively searched forum after forum and this seems to be the only thread with the sort of info i am searching for. I have installed TPC V3.1 Rom With required radio, everything works including MMS, however, no matter what settings i try i cannot receive normal sized pictures and any MMS videos go straight to the O2 website and all i get is a message your phone is not compatible with this type of message. Can anyone help, its really annoying............
I have tried the above .cab file and it doesn't work for me either.
Thanks in advance for any help.
O2 serra (raphael) win6.5, TPC v3.1 radio 1.14.25.05

Try some of these reg edits.
Thanks, but that is more for increasing the send size limit of mms, I can send them fine, but my network O2 cannot determine what phone I have and therefore only allows me to receive the smallest possible sized attachement.
I have tried numerous settings and radios to adjust this I've even tried the get settings feature and I get a txt back sorry we are unable to blah blah blah. with out going back to O2 stock rom i'm running out of options.......
Also I have never attemped to edit the registry
Again thank u for your reply......
EDIT......
Attempted reg edit, has had no affect, am I doing something Wrong.......?

My phone is a Vodaphone UK HTC Touch Pro2 with O2 Pay Monthly Sim.
Any help is appreciated
Hi all
As a T-mobile UK customer I have been finding that I lose internet on my phone every 6 or 7 days, typically lasting for about 6 hours.
During my last converstaion with support I mentioned that i had the following in the APN settings
[email protected]
They seem to think that it might be a Tmobile USA profile and hence the problem (how the wrong APN could work for 95% of the time is beyond me).
I did take the handset to the USA last year but did not have data roaming turned on. Does anyone know how i ended up with the wrong APN? A quick google search returns no results for the APN listed...
I have since manually changed the APN and things seem ok (for now).

Whoops.... I have just found out where the the APN settings came from.
In an attempt to get my MMS working I just ran the HTC Connection Manager. For the first time in 1.5 years my MMS is working but I have noticed that my new APN settings say [email protected]
So it seems that HTC use APNs that T-mobile UK are not familiar with? Annoyingly I have no way of viewing the new APN or editing it
Does anyone know which settings the HTC connection manager uses? I am concerned that although MMS is working, if my internet connection goes down again, the UK helpdesk might just shrug their shoulders and pass the buck to HTC, who in turn will pass it back
Ok so I spoke to HTC UK today, they told that they have no way of finding out what APN their app uses, they suggested that I use the generic T-mobile APN that they have on their system, which I did and the MMS stopped working again.... so I ran their app and alll is fine again (for now).
I guess that I will have to try to email HTC. It is rather annoying that MS decided that customers shouldn't be allowed to see existing APNs.
I do have a dev account, tbh I only subscribed so that I could get mango early, if that means that I can sideload something that will show me the APN in use then please feel free to point me in the right direction.
