Bare Bones AT&T Rom

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

at&t Internet Settings - WAP Media Net and MMS

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....

AT&T Tilt Internet Problems on other carrier

Hello Everyone...
I want to first than everyone in the forum for all your posts.. With your help I have SIM unlocked my AT&T Tilt phone to work with my carrier (Einstein PCS).
I am not new to Smartphones.. My first being a Motorola MPX220 that I used a modified rom to have 2003... After that I had a iPaq 6515.... Now I have my Tilt.. I did a hard reset when I got it and rebooted near the end to precent all the installation of much of the AT&T bloatware... I got the settings I needed for my carries internet... But it seems to only work sometimes.. If I am simply web-browsing it is great, or using software like IM+... But when I try to run updates, or TomTom Traffic (among many other things) it does not work and seems to try to be connecting to AT&T or something to that effect. If I am connected via Wifi everything works fine. This becomes very irritating as I can't be connected via Wifi and be driving around... I loose the signal and there aren;t always Wifi hotspots available. We have bad traffic problems in this area and the TomTom Traffic usually helps reroute it well. Any suggestions? As I said, some stuff works, other stuff doesn;t. I will include the settings I got from my provider below. I also manually delelted the AT&T settings in the conenctiuon manager thinking that would help.. it did not.
under proxy settings check: this network connects to the internet
check this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet
proxy server should be :192.168.254.251
click advanced
http: 192.168.254.251:8080
wap: 192.168.254.251:9201
secure wap: 192.168.254.251:9201
socks (blank)
under modem, your access point name should be : apn
name and password blank.
under advanced check use server assigned ip address
Those are hthe instructions given to me by my provider.. ANY help would be greatly appreciated! My carrier chargs me about $50 a month for unlimited Voice, TXT, and Internet, so I want to stick with them. (BTW< I am also having problems using MMS messaging).
Teej

First of all, you might want to look into installing the OEM htc rom... The ATT rom has hidden proxies that might be causing you issues, besides, you dont really want all the ATT bloat to begin with since its not going to work with your carrier!

Thanks for the advice.. but I had read people are having problems with the GPS chip when they do that.. is that correct? I downloaded a few of the roms, but not sure on how to install them, or to even know which would be best for me.. Any suggestions? Also, any step by step walk through on how to install them exactly? Preferabley something that will work with Vista as I run x64 ultimate... IF not I can get acess to an XP machine.. but not as easily... Thanks in advance

Many people, myself included, are using unlocked Tilts on other networks without any problems. It's hard to say which rom would be best, it's really a matter of opinion. No doubt, you will have to read...and I recommend you start with the wiki. All the info you are looking for is covered there.

start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393535
this will give you a link to the official HTC rom
The people you read about with problems on anything are usually using cooked roms or using an incompatible radio. But for YOU, i would suggest using the OEM rom which is linked in that thread i gave you..

No Data Connection in the US?

I recently received my Touch Pro, and transferred everything from my other phone over. I also copied the GPRS/EDGE settings (T-Mobile USA) present on the other phone, in an attempt to get internet without the Wi-Fi over. Unfortunately, for some reason, no matter how I set it (I looked up 3 different ways to do it online) it returns an error.
I thought it might be a radio band issue, so I flashed Hard SPL and the Cingular radio stack. Even more unfortunately, after doing so, it was impossible to turn on the Data Connection at all. I backtracked and located the problem as the Hard SPL, since when I flashed the radio stack back to stock, the problem was still present, and when I flashed Stock SPL back, everything went back to working fine.
Since I'm new to the scene, I wasn't really sure what was going on, so I don't really understand what the problem is.
Anyone have anything to say about either of those problems (constructive advice)?
Thanks in advance.

How about the T-Mobile Wireless Configurizationalator?
http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/

thanks,
i've tried that, using several different windows mobile devices listed under the HTC menu, but each different configuration that they offer yields the same results.

I don't know where you're based in, but I just had that problem too here in downtown Chicago. I tried it with my Hermes, and it didn't work either. I called T-Mobile and they said something about a "global disruption" to their data network. Not sure what exactly that meant but it works here in the Gold Coast, about 15 minutes north of downtown.

oh, i see.
well i guess i'll give them a call tomorrow, and see if i can get it to work with their help. thanks for the info, now i'm kind of relieved it's not something broken on my end. haha.

Depending on what data plan you have ($5.99 T-Zones or $19.99 Total Internet) you may need to change your server and/or proxy settings. By default, the HTC Connection Wizard sets the "T-mobile Data" connection to wap.voicestream.com, so you may need to change that.
Log in to your my.t-mobile.com and check your services to see which one you're using. Then do a search here on XDA for your service (T-Zones or Total Internet) and you'll find the settings you need.

thanks. i looked all that up and it turns out that i was supposed to soft reset it after i set things up, which i did not know about, so i didn't do. i also found a cab file for the t-zone settings, which might have helped too. for some reason weather doesn't update with the edge network though, and i don't know why. any clue?
thanks again.

htc fuze - just arrived, can't navigate and already 3G connected

Hello everybody,
Ive just received my HTC Fuze, i was kind exited. Just taked from the box to try the 3G browsing. I introduced the access points and the l/p settings for connection. It doest connects to the 3G network, but i receive no data, can't display any information. I don't know if the Fuze is faulted or something. Any idea???? thanks in advance.

htc fuze - alreadi connected to 3G network but wont navigate
Hello everybody,
Ive just received my HTC Fuze, i was kind exited. Just taked it out from the box to try the 3G browsing. I introduced the access points and the l/p settings for connection. It does connect to the 3G network witouth problem, but i receive no data, can't display any page/information. I don't know if the Fuze is faulted or something. Any idea???? thanks in advance.
PD: weather update works, and it connects to the 3G network. but dont work in Opera/IE

there is nothing to configure with the fuze if you are on the AT&T network. all you do is put in your sim card.

I had a few issues myself. If you were using isp.cingular then it might not connect there any more unless you purchase the tethering plan. Even then, isp.cingular will only work for direct push and tethering.

Try this
Start>>>>Setting's>>>>Connections>>>>Connections>>>>set up my proxy server>>>un-check "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"

i wound a useful thread, where you can disable some sort of hidden proxy.cab thing installed on device (programs>proxy tools), now IE works but still no luck with Opera, im looking forward to upgrade this factory AT&T Rom because i don't feel my Fuze very smoothly
PD: also check on what you suggested, but it was already unchecked.
Thanks for helping mate

im into another network, i bought my fuze unlocked in eBay, i tried the .cab app to uninstall hidden proxy (programs>tools>proxy) and now i can browse using IE, but not into Opera.
Im looking forward to change the factory ROM because it doesn't feel too smoothly.
Any suggested ROM/Radio to install, i really don't want cooked roms with extra apps/games
thanks in advance for the help mate

If I remember right, the default Opera browser on the Fuze is set up to only work with the proxy, so you'll have to flash a new rom most likely (but you really should do that anyway.)

i know, my bad, because i was getting errors from server, but when i find out there was 2 topics i tried to del my post, but i couldn't do it, didn't find the option, i apologize.

To help out, I merged the two threads into this one.
