The reason I am posting this in ROM development is due to the high number of posts I see in various ROMs asking about at&t internet and MMS settings.
When I upgraded to WM 6.1 I had to find out the hard way that the HTC autoconfig program that starts after a hard reset works, but causes various issues. When I tried to fix the issues, I caused different problems and could never get my email to send and receive until after it had done so on an automatic schedule, which is weird. Along with other anomalies.
I apologize for the redundant thread, but it might cut down on even more threads if more people on at&t were told not to use autoconfig and instead used this simple cab file:
at&t and MMS
-thanks to whoever developed this, works perfectly
Note: this cab may not fix problems that already occur, even if the settings are deleted before installing. If you ran the autoconfig instead of disabling it, then it might be time to have fun with a new ROM and/or setup
It's hard to keep all of this info organized and XDA does a great job. I hope that if this info is mass distributed, as it already is in the beginning posts of some ROMs, that it might save time for more important things.
I have never had any issues with HTC's Autoconfig not working perfectly for me on AT&T's network. The only network feature I don't use on my Tilt is Blackberry Connect.
could this be why my phone gets no service on 3G mode? i have tried everything but nothing is working. But the weird thing is that on edge it works perfectly fine. does anybody have a solution for this.
It really doesn't take long (a few minutes at most) to manually do the settings .. And this way you know and learn what your device is really set up for instead of relying on others.

pro, I don't think the internet settings are why you are dropping calls.
It is a setting in kaiser tweak. I could be wrong, but I think it is caused by a fast sleep option. I know I read it somewhere, but ages ago.
i dont have kaiser tweaks installed.. do you know what thread you read that in?
no, I am sorry but I have no time to help tonight. I would recommend a hard reset that will delete everything on your main device and restore it to factory default. Activesync should save your contacts. This will let you know if you have a possible hardware issue.
Read the wiki for directions, and then read some more. I'm always learning more about this phone.
-or-
IF you have hardspl and know how to flash a rom, you could try a different setup (ROM). If it doesn't work, then you need to revert your phone back to normal and send it in for warranty.
do this at your own risk, good luck
*before doing this, try the kaiser tweak setting, simple search and easy to use program
when it comes to att, ive noticed:
as long as you are using wap.cingular as your APN and [email protected] password1, it works.
When I flashed my rom, it auto detected (laurenitis26's v2) it put in isp.cingular as the apn, which as memory serves me right is the tethering portal, so if you don't have tethering set up, you will have issues. if you do have tethering, WAP.cingular is unlimited internet, isp.cingular is 5gb per month.
First post! yay ive actually contributed. don't know how helpful it is.

Actually you can now leave the username and password fields blank. ATT changed their settings and its no longer needed (but it still works with it if you choose). Its even documented in the KnowledgeBase article I posted above.

to be more specific the isp.cingular connection is the PDA connection is the straight connection not behind a proxy. WM is smart and some things it needs a connection without a proxy but Att offers media next cheaper than the PDA connect so most users (myself included) have to use wap.cingular otherwise the phone won't connect .
This isn't really a problem so much as really irritating, I'd like for ATT to come down on the price for the PDA connect....

I flashed my tilt to an htc rom and I'm now having problems getting on the internet. Is there some place where i could find a cab file with at&t settings or anywhere I could find the settings and enter them by hand. thanks
still looking. thought I found a solution but it was for hermes.
try this network config...
thanks a lot. that seems to have done the trick.
turns out it didnt fix the problem. i can connect to the web via PIE but for some reason I can't get either gmail or windows live to connect. I don't know why it would work for some but not others.
Same problem
I am having the same issues too. IE and outlook mailbox can connect without any problem to the internet. Gmap too.
However, I am having problem with fring and skype applications. Anyone experiencing this issue?
I have flashed my Tilt with the original HTC Kaiser rom.
i think i might have the solution for ya...change the isp.cingular to wap.cingular
I'm having all sorts of problems, too. Very odd. I don't understand how it can work one minute, then not the next.
One thing that has seemed to help is to use the advanced configuration tool to keep the connection active all the time.
It's under Connections > Connection Always On.
Keep in mind, I had to choose MEdia Net. When I chose "My ISP GPRS", I couldn't connect at all....
I'm having the same issue. I didnt notice it until now with Fring. Over WIFI it works, over 3g it says cannot find internet.
I checked and my settings are already on the wap.
So other ideas?
I've also been having intermittent luck with the settings on my TILT flashed to HTC ROM.
One way I got around it for a while, was to connect to Pocket Internet Explorer to get the connection setup, then hop on Google Maps/MS Live Search/etc.
I also had this problem with MiniMo and Opera for a while. Eventually it all just worked itself out I guess. Also, make sure your 'proxy' settings don't get messed up. Sometimes I'll go into the connection settings and the "This connection uses a proxy" is checked... I'll go back in later, and it won't be. Not sure what the conflict is.

Here is a solution.
When you create settings using the Wizard it puts 2 connections. 1 MY ISP and the other MEdia Net.
GO to Settings -- Connections -- Connections -- Advanced -- Select Networks -- First drop down box make sure that My ISP is selected then click ok up top.
Try it and see if it works now.
If it doesnt select MEdia Net as the default connection and edit it, remove proxy and see if it works now. If still no luck remove MEdia Net from one of the connections, by managing existing connections tap and hold and then click delete. Then set MY ISP as the default connection in advance --select networks.
Good Luck.
That took care of it..
Actually what took care of it was going into the media net settings and unclicking the proxy settings..
It was using a proxy to connect but no server in the box. I clicked and whammo works now!
Thanx
same issue
Just wanted to mention had the same issue (particularly with skype) and made the change mentioned further up in the post about changing the connection setting from isp. to wap. and now skype works like a charm, thanks!
please help me aswel

I've ran into a couple connection / GPRS-3G issues with other Non-AT&T ROMs, I'm sure with alittle patience and time I could work them out and move on..
Only thing is, I have neither currently. Is anyone working on a Stock AT&T BareBones ROM, with all the junk ripped out? PTT, GetXpress Mail, Trial Ware etc?
I'm possibly going to work this week and next on making one if no one else has the time, unless of course I end up doing 1 of 2 things
1. Using Helmi's AKU Bare bones ROM, and getting ALL the AT&T wireless functionality working as expected
2. Stripping down the AT&T rom to a bare bones state
Any assistance etc is welcome...
Some issues I've seen with other HTC roms are things like...
After Installing MobiTV2 and trying to load, it dials a GPRS/3G connection, then says it failed to connect please check settings, and MobiTV never loads, yet I can browse webpages on 3G speeds
vp3G will make a rom as soon as he gets a Tilt.. Ive used his roms before with my 8525 and they were very nice stable fast roms!

As for your connection issues... when you first load the HTC ROM, don't let it autoconfigure your network settings. If you manually create your ISP settings it will work. I had the same issue you're describing with Avot...
MEdia Net
modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access Point Name: wap.cingular
user name: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Domain: <leave blank>
that should get you set up... fyi, if you've done the autoconfigure, you can't just delete the settings and start over, I didn't dig into it but I just hard reset and told it not to do the auto part...
Good Luck.

+1 on the vp3g solution. I also used his ATT based 8525 ROM and it was great. Here's hoping he gets a Tilt soon!
Until we get a ROM from VP3G just do a hard reset. When you get the message device will restart in 3 sec. do a soft reset. It does not install trial, and extra crap also internet sharing icon is in the programs folder also all MMS, and internet settings are set up. The only thing you need to do is tweak the registry
What registry tweak are you referring to? I just did this to my ATT tilt!
Thanks,
Eric
I've had this problem int he past. I put a ROM on a friends phone and everything works great including internet, TCP-IP apps work good.
Except E-Mail.
When using E-Mail connecting to GPRS, 3G shows up twice ending with a dialog that says:
CANNOT CONNECT FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again.

I tried to fix by installing Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2a.cab but this did not help.
Again I've been out of the ROM flashing scene for a while so any advice for someone who hasn't flashed a ROM in about 5 months is welcome. If Alex's ROM is obsolete and poor on the new Tilt's, let me know.
We're on ATT of course.
I've fixed the issue.
For those who want to know, I changed the connection ISP.CINGULAR to WAP.CINGULAR.
The username changed from [email protected] to [email protected].
This was done under connection settings.
I actually had to do this about 6 months ago as well. However either moderators deleted the old thread about it, or Google does not index the forums that far. As always, the forums built-in search sucks.
Thanks for reading.
Read my signature. Post issues like this in Alex's thread.
Is there anything that needs to be done for the Fuze to work with Rogers?
Can I simply put the Rogers simcard in and all will work fine?
Does it need to be unlocked, or flashed with a different ROM?
Is it better to wait until Rogers gets something very similar?
Any ideas what would be best to do?
Thanks in advance for your input/advice.

you need to unlock the phone first of course. you can find the relevant information on this forum if you search for it. You don't necessarily have to flash it, but you prob don't want all the AT&T bloatware.
As far as I know, Telus is going to be the only carrier with Touch Pro, so you're better off buying a Fuze from the states and "smuggle" it across border (or you can always pay the tax at border )
Unlocking the Fuze
SlingPlayer Mobile is installed on the Fuze...
However, despite the 3G symbol being there, "Cannot Connect" shows up.
It leads to Settings for Connections.
Rogers Wireless 3G settings...Is there a tutorial?
Is there a step-by-step tutorial on setting up the Fuze with Rogers Wireless so that SlingPlayer Mobile works with 3G, instead of getting "Cannot Connect"?
Thanks
not exactly but its really simple, first off, what have you done to your phone thus far? are you using a stock rom or custom rom? etc
I am also going to assume you have entered your slingbox info into the application.
I am using fuse on rogers network with NATF rom with Dara Plan, and nothing realy needed after i poped the sim in, it found anything there is to be found, and Ta-Da! It's working flawlessly so far.
What I did so far....
First of all, I have a stock ROM unlocked Fuze...I have a warranty on it for 1 year, so I really don't wanna mess with the ROM just yet.
1. I went Start, Settings, Connections Tab, Connections Icon, My ISP and Add a new modem connection.
2. Name: Rogers Wireless
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Next
Access... : internet.com
Next
User... : wapuser1
Password: wap
Domain: left it blank
Finish
Now SlingPlayer Mobile and Weather works.
However, Internet browsing, E-mail, Messages...all don't work
I found info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311426
but those cabs do not work properly with the FUZE.
There's other settings posted there too...trying to figure it out. No success so far.
If there can be one made specifically for the FUZE and Rogers Wireless, it would be sweet.
Anyway, any kind of help is very much appreciated. If anyone knows what to do specifically,
please advise or point to where the information is.
Thanks

Nice you found lurch's cab. install it anyways so you have mms working. I thought auto configuration was installed on the fuze by default, but it was a while ago. for internet you need to disable the proxy that is on the fuze (set up for AT&T users)
First on the overall end with the disable proxy cab
and then you need to do it in opera, since you clearly have made a decent attempt at using the search function, i will just attach the cabs here, let me know if it works

depending on how you unlocked the phone, you may have already lost the warranty. if that's the case, flash away~
oh...and even after you flash it, you can always reflash it back to stock rom
Progress...
OK...first, about the warranty, the place I bought it from unlocked it and said 7 day replacement, 1 year servicing. I've never used the HardSPL, etc...I think I want to wait before I go that way until after the year is up.
Progress report:
Good news! Installing only "Lurch3559-Rogers.cab" (and not the VPN one) plus the two posted earlier in this thread did the trick. Everything works.
Next, learning how "Microsoft Direct Push" and "hotmail" work, and if they can work together. I got my hotmail addy working, but I have to go in and "Send and Receive" to get it to show new e-mails. I want it to do that automatically. Then, to get "Messenger" (IM) working. It just keeps saying "Signing in..."
I want to thank all who have been helpful thus far. It's a sweet phone to play with. Thanks
did you ever have any luck with getting Messenger to work, and hotmail to be pushed? I just got my Fuze today but it didn't come with a USB, so theres no way to get the cab file to my phone . I also now have to wait to flash the ROM, boo lol
When I upgraded my Samsung Focus to Mango B1 (7661), I was pleasently surprised when I wasn't having any of the 3G (lack of APN) or MMS sending issues. I unlocked it with the unlock xml and the whole GPRS template loading from Diagnosis. I had no issues whatsoever. I considered myself lucky, and I shrugged it off.
Well, Mango B2 (7712) comes along, and then I noticed: No more 3G, no more MMS. At all. So I figured, okay, a lot of people had this problem, so it should be fairly easy to solve, MMS is a big deal to not have, SOMEONE'S fixed it, RIGHT???
And I was partially wrong. People fixed the 3G issues by readding the APN from their appropriate provider (I just googled my AT&T APN). However, I looked everywhere for the MMS fix. I found NOTHING.
Then I came accross one post saying that it was a shame that WP7 doesn't set the 'ADC' flag when you switch the SIM card. Well, holy crap, I knew I had seen that before. While I was recalling what app I had used, I coupled that bit of knowledge with something else. I knew that people had fixed this problem using the proprietary Network Profile Samsung app by temporarily switching carrier profiles and then switching back. So I thought to myself, what does the Network Profile app change? It changes, apart from other things, the APN (for 3G), and the MMS settings. So I figured, if the MMS settings are tied to ADC, and then the Network Profile app changes that, why not use an app I've used before to reset it?
So I looked through all my homebrew apps (Advanced Config., TouchXperience, & WP7 Root Tools), and, alas, none of them booted. BUT! I had forgotten all about the trusty Samsung Tools. I haven't used it in ages, but I though that that option was there. So I opened it, and behold, it didn't crash and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD it had the option to "Set 'Run ADC' Flag". The description almost made me cry from the overwhelming joy. The description says "Sets ADC to run at next boot to configure Data and MMS settings. I checked it, I rebooted, and I could send MMS.
If anyone with a Samsung Device in Mango is having MMS or Data issues, use Samsung Tools, and don't suffer as long as I did.
Actually, it can be done by changing HKLM\System\AutoDataConfig\RunADC from 0 to 1.
This is a question?
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Dyskmaster, I'm amazed at your reading skills (though not your spelling). The section is called Q&A. Question & answer. Did it ever occur to you that someone might want to just post an answer?
As I am new to the wp7 scene, glad to find this post as this fix the problem for me . Thanks for the post!
This did not work for me on my samsung focus running through straight talk. Any ideas would be appreciated as I still cannot send MMS. Thanks!
