Using AT&T SX56 [T-Mobile ROM] with Cingular Media Works - Networking

Hi folks,
I am a very very happy SX56/XDA user with Media Works. I just added this feature in my account 10 minutes ago and so far everything is working perfectly (Internet, MSN Messenger).
Hardware/Software: (Perform ROM update via SD Card)
Thank you to all posters from here!!!!
- AT&T SX56
- T-Mobile ROM version 4.01.16ENG (Should be Mobile 2003)
- ROM Date 02/04/04
- Radio Version 6.24.00 (Radio Stack upgrade from yorch.net)
- Protocol Version 324e4
I think Radio Version 6.24.00 is the most stable version as I do not get a very reliable singal with the default At&T factory loaded. I also tried O2 ROM (Mobile 2002) which also display 2-3 bars of signal whereas T-Mobile ROM (Mobile 2003) only gives me none to 1 bar in the very same spot.
O2 ROM also displays 'roaming with T-mobile' but T-Mobile ROM is also correctly display Cingular as the current service provide.
GPRS connection (Thank you all posters from here!!)
- APN:wap.cingular
- USERNAME: [email protected]
- PASSWORD: CINGULAR1
I'll be in boston next week and will report network usage and while I was in Bedford, MA last week I also saw AT&T wireless as the current provider on my SPV.
Thank you you all for contributing valuable informaiton. I won't be able to get this working without you all!!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you

GPRS gets stuck

Hi,
GPRS gets stuck almost every time I try to surf internet or sync email. It forces me to switch on/off flight mode and I'm tired of this. I have:
ROM: 1.3.9.4.RUS
Date: 09/25/05
Radio: 01.01.10
Protocol: 4.0.13.16
ExtROM: 1.1.7.105
Does anyone encounter such problem? Is there any solution?
By the way what GSM class is radio part in Qtek 9100?
edit1: answer to myself. I've found it's class B. Cannot call and get GPRS at the same time .
same for me
same for me on my 9100 its so irritating. between this and the speaker phone not working i don't know about this phone
Vishny
Had the same issue with MTS GPRS.
I have changed the operator from MTS to Megafon and it works fine now. Moreover, Megafon is the only one to launch EDGE yet.
i don't have the issue of stuck GPRS.
Is it EDGE related?

Actually not. MTS launched EDGE too, I've found information on its web site. Moreover, GPRS Monitor shows me connection speed up to 70 kbit/s. I guess it's possible with EDGE only.
Unfortunately I cannot migrate to another operator, it would force me to change phone number and it's not acceptable for me.
I guess problem exists because of MTS's EDGE but I don't know how to disable EDGE in my device and downgrade to GPRS.
Moonsower,
which version is radio in yours? 01.01.10 too?
I guess the problem could be fixed by flashing newer version, I've found people reported about 01.04.10 and even 01.08.10 versions in this forum:

AES encryption not available?

I've just bougth my new PDA HTC TyTN, which is amazing because it has everything! PPC 5, GSM Quadband, EDGE, 3G, Bluetooth 2, WiFi both 11b/g...... I dont even have the video alignment problem quite a lot reported around here, and my serial is HT628. Lucky me because I bougth an English version in Sweden, but I'm using it in Colombia!! (hard to reach any support, eh?)
The only problem I'm having now is that I can not connect to the WLAN in my office because the encryption they use is AES (Authentication WPA-PSK). When I try to create the connection on my PPC, I can set the Auth. to WPA-PSK, but the only option available for encryption is TKIP!!!.
Is that a hardware or software limitation? I can not find on the web topics about it... the provider doesn't have any comment about it his web page. Do I have to ask the company to lower the encryption used? :twisted: (dont think they will do it because of me!!!) or is there any other solution to get connected via WiFI?
hi,
i am struggeling with this issue since weeks. In my opinion its a software issue and it has not yet built in to the ROM's. So i believe its a AKU problem which might solved after changing AKU to 3.x.
Take a look at this thread there is a beta ROM which should support WPA2 but it does not work yet. Seems to wait until HTC is releasing the AKU 3.x on the TyTN too.
Solution during the issue ... ask your company to setup a WiFi connection with WEP this is the only thing i got to work on my TyTN so far.
Good luck
Windows CE 5.0 and thus Windows Mobile 5.0 seem to not suport AES due to it's CPU requirements.
But you don't want to go back to insecure WEP. Ask for WPA/TKIP instead of WPA2 (WPA/AES). Worked like a charm for me.
If somebody gets LEAP (Cisco AP) working, please let me know how.

Thanks to both on your answers..
I'm not so exited to try a ROM upgrade just for this, and even less if it's not sure it will work. So I'll try to convince people here in the office to use TKIP, not sure they'll do it just for me, but I'll try anyway!.
As i said, its a OS update which will allow in the AKU (Adaptation Kit Update) enabling the WPA2. Look at the attached Picture which also can be found here

Any word on when HTC will be releasing a ROM with AKU 3?
Would love to be able to use my Hermes with my new pre-n wireless router with WPA2 encryption. I cannot get the extended range without it. Any word on when HTC will be releasing a ROM with AKU 3 included?
I have aku 3.3.0 on my hermes. Why do I not see WPA2? I would like to migrate to this for my home network, but this device holds me from doing so.

New O2 Exec Owner - Questions and Issues

Hi guys,
As the new owner of O2 Exec, that I purchase in second hand shop, I come up with some questions and issues. Of course, I tried to find my answer on the forum but couldn't find it so I was thinking maybe some experienced users might have the answer.
Also some information about the configuration of my O2 Exec:
O2 Exec
Rom Version: 1.30.107 WWE
Rom Date: 04/11/06
Radio Version: 1.09.00
Protocol Version: 42.42.P8
ExtROM Version: 1.30.162 WWE
I have unlock the exec and I am using it with a T-Mobile sim card in the UK. I am also register with Web'n'walk (Unlimited GPRS data plan).
I am synchronizing the Exec with Exchange server and I am using the email push.
See below:
- When I plugged the exec by Usb for active sync, I got an error on my laptop saying that I can't synchronize. If I unplug the cable and plug it again, it tend to works (Sometimes it doesn't work and I have to kill active sync on my laptop and start it again). Any ideas?
- Is there a way to completely block the data transmission when I am abroad. In fact, before I was using a Blackberry and there was an interesting option which allow to block all data connection when you are Roaming. Good to avoid bad surprise with the expensive data roaming fee.
- When I am using TCMP to listen to music. It starts to play fine, and then suddenly i got an error saying that the file can't be found on the SD card. I didn't remove the card and I can see that the card is still there in the file explorer.
- Does the email Push can work with Wifi or only with GPRS? If yes, how can I configure this?
- How can I check on the today screen that my bluetooth is paired correctly. I use to have a Blueangel with WM2003 and I remember that there was an icon in the top bar with a headset to indicate that the bluetooth headset was paired. The only workaround so far is to press my bt headset and see if the voice dialing window come up. I think there might be a better way.
- Is there a point for me to upgrade my Radio version? I tried to do it but get an error that the country code wasn't correct or something like this. If it brings improvement can you please give me some information on how to do upgrade it on a O2 exec since it is an Orange upgrade?
- I am using Web'n'walk in the uk with only GPRS. I configure the gprs parameter with the information from the internet. The information given by the customer services where not working. Is there any way to use the UMTS (i.e. 3G) instead of GPRS. The customer services told me that I have to upgrade my plan to do so. Anybody have another solution?
To conclude, this handset is a really impressive machine. As I say before, I used to have a Blueangel and I can see that a lots of things have improved since then.
Sorry for my big list of questions and thank you very much for your help.
Julien.
Web'nWalk with UMTS
I have a Web'nWalk tariff on t-Mobile.
If your sim is a recent one (mine is a year old), it can handle both GPRS and UMTS depending on availability. Older sims cannot - you have to request a new one. This was confirmed by T-Mobile support as well as my experience with the sim. It drops to GPRS where there's no 3G coverage, and I get good speed with 3G (UMTS) in most parts of London
You need to set Network Type to Auto (Phone -> Menu -> Options -> Band) if the current default is GSM.
Hope this helps.

HTC Hermes (TYTN) on Rogers?

Hi all, first post here. Great board BTW.
I took the plunge and picked up a used TYTN about a week ago. Nothing but headaches since Primarily, it has focussed around the "No GSM" error. I've read through the wiki. I downgraded to the 1.04 Bootloader, and applied the fix. Unfortunately, it appears to be temporary; the No GSM seems to come back. I have only been able to place 2 phone calls sucessfully in the last four days, and no text messages. Anyhow, before I run through all the problems and what I have done, perhaps someone who has an HTC TYTN working smoothly on the Rogers Network in Canada could post or PM me with their firmware versions (ROM, ExtROM, Radio, Bootloader, etc). If the same is available for d/l I will flash mine to the same and see if that does the trick...
Thanks for your assistance!
MM
At this moment what radio are you using?

I puchased an almost new HTC TyTN from Mad Monkey Boy about six months ago. It was running the factory stock ROM at the time. I SuperCID'd the device, then installed the South African 1.35 ROM (the complete ROM, yeah I know, it ups the bootloader version, no prob for me as I'd rather have a stable device than "hack" it). I just recently installed the AKU 3.3 WWE test ROM. The only thing I have had to do to make it work with Rogers is to create the GPRS connection (User: wapuser1, Password: wap, APN: internet.com, or vpn.com if you pay the extra $10 a month for a public IP address).
The initial ROM was very slow and very buggy. The 1.35 ROM speeded the device up a bit and much more stable, but still problems with BT A2DP and WMP losing its metadata. The new AKU 3.3 test ROM has been working very well for me, still problems with BT A2DP but no other issues to speak of yet and even faster than its predecessors.

Hi John & Phamoui,
thanks for the quick replies. Pham - I've dropped it off back at the shop where I got it so i'm not 100% sure now. I think the "No GSM" fix put it back to a 1.16 series. They uppped it with the "latest" shipped ROM. I think this was probably the one at the top of the list of available ones here. 1.35 or 1.35 series radio. Sorry for the Lack of detail in this post - I don't have the unit here at the moment.
John - thanks for the info. that should give me a stable starting point.

I've never had any problems with my TyTN on Rogers.
Currently I'm on the SA 1.35 ROM and 1.27 Radio.
I'm still reading up on the new AKU 3.3 before I decide to install it. I've still got to decide on which one to install or wait for the non-TEST HTC version.
Hi, I live in Austin but I have a Rogers SIM card for my Vancouver # (I had a job there temporarily in September/October).
Can you give me the settings for Rogers GPRS and MMS for TyTN (I have the 8525 but I am running the HTC 2.05 ROM).
Thanks!!!
James

James,
The GPRS/UMTS settings are as follows:
Access point name: internet.com OR vpn.com (depending on your level of data service)
User name: wapuser1
Password: wap
Domain: <leave blank>
I don't know what the MMS settings are as I don't use MMS.

Hi again,
After significant efforts by the fellows at SN Traders (good shop by the way), I have exchanged and gone with a new Cingular 8525 (Hermes 100). I have installed the WM6 XDA Live 0.20 ROM available here and it is running great so far.
So my latest Rogers/Tytn question: Has anyone been able to get the software for the Rogers pushmail? I spoke with a tech, who provided me with a couple links. I tried them, but no link to d/l the software. He advised that he thinks it is because my device is not locked to Rogers and running their software. He states that they do not have access to the CAB files directly as they come from some third party (I've forgotted but something like Verio...) Anyhow, anyone have success in obtaining/installing the software and getting Rogers push email working?
Thanks,
MM

Time for a few more questions....!!
Hi,
Does your phone display the "U" (or 3G) symbol to denote that 3G coverage is available?? I looked at your website to get your location and plugged it into http://enableoci.orange.co.uk/uk/UKCoverageSearch.htm (I used the town rather than the postcode to get an overall coverage map) - it looks a bit patchy to me (for your work postcode, the local area looks pretty good); I guess it depends on whether you're using the phone at work or when you're out and about?
Do you know what radio version is on your phone; has it been updated with one of the radios and/or ROM's from this site or does it have the standard issue Orange radio? You can find out by going to Start | Settings | System tab | Device information. If the radio version is >= 1.38.x.x then you should be fine (although some people on Orange have reported that radio 1.41.x.x is not as good as 1.40.x.x - opinions vary ).
Do you or any colleagues have another Orange 3G phone that works where yours doesn't?? We need to establish whether the problem is just with your phone or whether it is in fact related to the 3G coverage generally.
Let me know how you get on
Mark.
Hi Mark,
My mission is to get this phone working on Vodafone 3g. I was testing Orange to see if it was a network problem.
I am now at my office and when in phone mode it now displays
UMTS Orange and the 3g signal, calls and browsing are now allowed!!
Here is the device info:
Rom Version 2.11.255.1
ROm Date 03/07/07
Radio 1.38.00.10
Protocol Version 32.71.7020.12H
ExtRom 2.11.255.104
I am just waiting to get a Vodafone 3g Sim Card to test, to see if it was only a matter of location.
Many Thanks

Have you tried the radio engineering test application?
I had a similar problem using my Vodafone with an O2 SIM card. I'd installed the O2 settings cab but still the data stuff wouldn't work.
The problem turned out to be that the data connection was still trying to use the Vodafone settings. To resolve this I installed Daniel Herrero's Bandswitch. This allows me to disable connection settings and only leave the settings active for the current SIM.
