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.
i have an unlocked tilt for tmobile. it is set up for tzones. well every time i go online it turns on my data plan eventhough i have wifi on. i go in settings and turn off data plan open ie back up and turns on my data plan again. is there a way i can use the wifi without turning on the data plan?

You can use a program called NODATA

I am wondering if its possible to get mms messages (download them)via wifi. I have tried and didnt work. Is there a program or reg hack that willl make this work? I prefer not to pay verizon for data charges to dl pictures when I have wifi. thanks...
hello,
I currently have 2 cellphone: Iphone (old one) with Edge dataplan from att.
and HTC Polaris.
I was using HTC Polaris with the SIM from Iphone and e/thing was working just fine untill today, when I was unable to use the Internet connection. My skype still connects but my emails and internet explorer and msn don't connect to the network.
Also, earlier I was able to connect to 3G with HTC.
So, I wanted to know what is going on? Is it because that my HTC is trying to connect to 3G network and thats why my access is blocked or is there anyways to fix it?
Thanks.
No.
I had a motorola RAZR (not even edge!, its just regular gprs) with at&t, got the unlimited media net data for 15$ a month, popped the sim out, put it in a polaris and now i get unlimited 3G for 15$ a month.
It's gotta be something with your connection settings and / or your radio rom possibly? Run the connection setup again and try that.
Everything works for me too on ATT, and I'm on some other data plan not the PDA Data plan. The one thing that doesn't work for me is MMS. I think it might have something to do with Proxy settings, although not sure. It's kinda annoying actually.
MMS works for me, but it's hella expensive.
I have a text plan that includes 200 text messages and pay per use MMS.
It's like 75 cents per MMS i believe.
i have unlimited everything. unlimited data, text, mms. the thing is i can't even receive mms, let alone send.
do you have any proxy settings? my settings show now proxy. with a proxy i can only update weather but i can't do anything else. with no proxy i can actually use opera and other wireless data functions.
i wonder if this has something to do with the fact that i did have an iphone data plan before switching to another one. (no i don't have an iphone, long story though) maybe in att system they still think i have an iphone (since the iphone doesn't send or receive mms and might not use the proxy)?
Are you guys w/o MMS configured properly?
Server name: AT&T MMS
Gateway: wireless.cingular.com
Port number: 80
Server address: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via: MEdia net

Yeah I have all those settings. I am not however using any proxy settings, don't know if that matters. I get a series of errors when I try to upload or download an MMS. When it uploads it gets to 99% then it doesn't send it. when can't remember what happens it tries to receive, something about forbidden. I've seen several people complain about it on the forum but none of those fixes work.
MMS used to work at some point, so I don't know what happened. It might have something to do when my account was on an iPhone data plan for a few hours. Maybe that messes with the proxy settings / MMS settings for that account??
I've been searching now for about 45 mins(my phone got here an hour ago) and I can't find a definitive answer about how to get data working for T-Mobile on the AT&T Fuze. (I know... I know... I can't 3G since this phone doesn't support the 1700 band but Edge is good enough for now)
Any insight on how to get this working would be really appreciated. I know that there was a network wizard in a bunch of old Wizard ROMS that would allow you to set your carrier and it auto-configured.
Does such a method exist for the Touch Pro?
Search to find the Connection Setup.

I think I found what I was looking for. Took a while but I finally found it.
Just in case you might still be a little lost, here's the link to get all the settings you need.

Could you post a link? I'm on t-mobile, too, but don't have a data plan. I would like to know the particulars, just in case.
you could just flash a ROM like ROMeOS or Lantis and they set up the connection automatically

I found and used the Network Wizard Cab attached below. It didn't really seem to work that well though. You can try it if you like but I recommend inputting the data settings manually.

That actually didn't help because T-Mobile doesn't support the AT&T Fuze. Thanks for trying though bro.
do a search for tmobyjoe cabs there are a few different cabs you can use to set up data depending on wich data plan you have
use the this link:
http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/
and select the wing for data and mms. It will work fine
Come on.. is it REALLY all that hard guys ? The AT&T Fuze is no different than any other Windows Mobile device that TMobile supports. Your options are simple... Call TMobile, tell them you have a "Wing" or any other touchscreen PPC they might sell and have them walk you through the settings. OR, add a new connection yourself and input "wap.voicestream.com" as the access point. Simple as that. ORRRR, use the attached cab.... LOL
A little late, but better than never.
The above CAB and the previous TmoByJoe CABs still point to the old wap.voicestream.com APN that requires the 216.155.165.50:8080 proxy which only supports HTTP requests. This has been replaced in favor of the epc.tmobile.com APN which does not require a proxy and therefore supports many more protocols/apps (FTP, VPN, Remote Desktop, IM clients, TF3d weather, etc).
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks > Edit your Tmobile connection or create a New connection > Edit or New Modem with APN epc.tmobile.com, no user/pass/domain, no proxy.
The epc.tmobile.com APN may not be accessible in all areas yet, so if you're having trouble connecting to it you may need to stay with the old wap.voicestream.com APN for the time being.
First you might wanna flash to the Rapheal stock ROM(Use the Wiki to find it), Then use the auto connection setup inside the connections tab of settings. Once you do the auto connection setup go into connections (inside the connections tab) go to mangae connections, you should see t-mobile data as the name, but go to edit and leave the name as t-mobile data click next and change from wap...whatever to
(internet2.voicestream.com) Next all you have to do is add the $24.99 unlimited data package through the unsupported handset customer service. tell them you already changed the settings already so you can be ready to go. but it can take up to 48 or 72 hours to be fully activated. trust me im using t-mobile data right now.
do not use the method above my post from fhsieh, that is not the right info. use my method as it is from t-mobile directly.
the info above your post is correct and will work! the epc.tmobile.com settings are mostly used by people with tzones 5.99 plan to get full internet but will also work with unlimited data plan.
i have been with t-mobile for a long time now and for the unlimted data internet2.voicestream.com is the correct access point name. maybe for the t-zones lol you can use what u said. And i just changed my settings and could not access the web from using epc.tmobile.com.
Internet and internet2.voicestream.com as well as epc have all been very unreliable to me. It's the reason I still use wap.voicestream.com It works very well with my unlimited plan and it works the 5.99 Tzones option if you also put in the proxy details.
I am using the $5.99 tzones plan and the epc.tmobile.com APN works very well for me, I have had absolutely no connection problems and all of my programs work without having to go through the HTTP proxy. Again I mentioned that it's not going to work in all areas, but if it happens to work in your area there is a general agreement that it is better than the old wap.voicestream.com APN, as it gives you essentially the same features as the Total Internet plan (no hard bandwidth limit) at reduced cost.
Only testing will tell which APN works best for you, but this way at least you know about the three APNs that Tmobile uses.
All three of us have given good trouble shooting info..sorry for the bashing in my other posts. has this info helped the kid.
Ok, i talked to tmobile and the maximum limit of data usage on the $5.99 T-Zones is 50 Megabytes. Is this true? Does this mean I can't tether without being charged? or are they just saying that so that you don't over use it?
(I mean for godsakes its EDGE, it's already so slow, it should be free)
