MDA II Cingular GPRS settings

I just bought a (German ver.) MDA II. I have followed every tutorial I came across to set my phone for Cingular GPRS. I've signed up for the internet service through Cingular so this thing should work.
When I try to connect to the GPRS it says:
Cannot Connect
-------------------------------
Cannot connect for unknown reasons....
What can I possibly be doing wrong? Trust me, I have tried every different setting I ran across i.e. WAP, Data, Dialing Rules.
I know nothing (yet) about flashing or editing a ROM but intend on learning later. Is it possible that someone out there has a pre-configed ROM that I could flash this thing to solve _all_ of my problems?
Although this phone is from Germany, I believe the company I bought it through flashed the ROM for me to the English version??
ROM Version: 1.60.00WWE
ROM Date:12/03/03
Radio Version: 1.06.01
Protocol Version: 1337.16
ExtROM Version: 1.60.06
Is it my settings? Is it my ROM version? Am I holding my tongue right?
I beg and plead for your help.
Thanks!

Be glad to help. here are the settings I have discovered after much searching:

cmccarter - Thanks for all of the info. I am much closer than before. I can connect via WAP now and my MMS is now configured correctly. THANKS!! BUT!!! It's still not allowing me to connect via GPRS. It still says that it cannot connect for unknown reasons. What else could I check??
What do you mean you couldn't get it to work after adding the media works package? Which connection stoped working?
Which brings me to another question; why would I use WAP over CSD or Data over CSD?? I don't know the difference. Heck, I don't even know the difference between WAP & GPRS. Can you tell I'm confused?

I used Afrocream's GPRS settings on this thread:
CLICK
They're almost identical, but what the heck. Works for me. Be careful of your entries and the CASE. UPPERCASE must be uppercase.
Also, be aware that (I believe) the SMS dial number *might* be regional. My phone uses a different number.

For more info on the differences between CSD & GPRS go to:
http://www.howardforums.com/
In the Cingular Message area there you will find lots of info.
I was unable to get the connection to isp.cingular to work and after talking to the CSRs at Cingular determined that it was not included in the Media Works package... no great loss as you can apparently tether to wap.cingular just as well. (tether= connect your pc via your phone using a cable, bluetooth or IR)

I might be mistaken but I have the Mediaworks package and, other than WAP sites, I'm connecting to isp.cingular.

re:
i just switched over to cingular and for the life of me cannot connect ot gprs or wap. i followed the direstions to the letter and im stuck please help...

seattleboi -- from what you posted it's very difficult to know what's going on. What happens when you try to connect? Are you sure there's no error in your entries (a slight typo, an unneeded space, etc?)
Are you sure that you have GPRS enabled with Cingular and that there's no problems in your area? Have you slipped the SIM card into another phone to confirm this?
Since these settings seem to be working for most of us (with iMate and other phones) there's no easy way to figure out why it's not working for you.

i did, it works now, but for some reason like every 4 hours it will not connect even rebooting several times, i end up deleting the connection settings and end up redoing them and rebooting a couple times to get it to work, my suspsicions are starting to fall on the rom image that im using, maybe skewring them up, the Rom i am using is the latest ATT rom WM 2003 that i made in the kitchen, so later on today i guess i will have to try the t-mo rom and see is that is giving me problems, (Evidently the night i did try to connect the GPRS network was down) and yes i did try with another phone i have a 3650 at my fingertips from Cingular to try. 8)

T-Mobile USA, iMate Jam and GPRS. HELP!!!!

Hey there,.....ultimate noob posting here but here goes.
I have an unlocked iMate Jam on the T-Mobile USA network. I have upgraded my plan to include the internet on this phone. These are my phone settings/information:
ROM Version: 1.11.00 WWE
Radio Version: 1.11.00
Protocol Version: 1337.42
ExtROM Version: 1.11.210 WWE
Model #: PM10C
The problem is that I cannot connect to GPRS to get or get MMS. I have gone through the connection settings with t-mobile reps about 20 times and I'm SURE they are correct.
Does anyone know what's going on here? Is it my ROM version. One t-mob rep seemed to think that my ROM version was unsupported. Has anyone else had this problem. Can anyone shed any light? Thanks.

By George, I think I've got it...
Hey, I think that one of the other guys on the forum, figured it out. Check out this post. It is working great for me. I love this forum!!!!!!!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25662&highlight=tmobile+usa+gprs

I also have an Imate-Jam and I'd like some help from you guys sothat I can read and write chinese for text messaging... I know that there are softwares like monster chinese or CE-star about US $40, is there any alternate way instead of buying the software? since I'm not a bigpocket kinda person please help... thank you

GRRRR
Since the post from Elite has NOTHING to do with the subject of this forum, we are going to ignore it and continue to talk about this issue at hand.
FYI- After my last post, my GPRS internet seems to be working fine. I have to soft reset every once in a while but considering the level of functionality that I have had up till now, I'll take whatever I can get.
The only obstacle left for me is MMS. The iMate notifies me that an MMS message is available for download but when I click on download, it attempts to open my WAP connection (T-mobile rep said that MMS always uses a WAP connection) the connection says that it connects (after looooonnnnggg time) and then says 'receiving' but it NEVER downloads the rest of the MMS message.
All I want to know is if any other T-mobile USA customers have had similar problems. If so, is there any info you can provide me that would help me fix this for all of us.

Ok well here is the 411 on gprs and mms on T-mobile I have run and used both since the xda II was out. I now have a xda IIi and confirm everything works fine. You need to make sure you have the right internet or data service enabled before try! They have two data services. One is just wap which does not give you full access to the internet as in open ports on there network. The other is unlimited internet which is like 19.99. That gives you full access. Configure your device as the following and you will be fine for mms. Also you need your apn correct. Usually on tmobile its internet2.voicestream.com or internet3.voicestream.com. You can call in and ask.
MMS Setting are as follows on any pocket pc phone.
1 Under My Work Network, select “Add a new modem connection”
2 Enter a name for your connection; I used “MMS”
3 From the Select a modem drop down choose Cellular Line (GPRS)
4 Tap Next
5 In the text box labeled (Access point name) type in wap.voicestream.com
6 Tap Next
7 Leave the User name, Password, and Domain fields blank
8 Tap Finish
9 Tap the Proxy Settings tab
10 Place a check in both boxes
11 Leave “Proxy server” blank
12 Tap Advanced
13 Leave HTTP and Socks Server fields blank.
14 Enter 216.155.165.50 for your WAP server. Port # is 9201
15 Enter 216.155.165.50 for your Secure WAP server. Port # is 9201
16 Tap OK twice
Now go to your MMS program and set it up, create a new server and I called mine T-Zones. Here are those settings.
Server Name: T-Zones
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port: 9201
Server Address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Tap ok
Now go to preferences and enter these settings,
Connect Via: My Work Network
Connect to Server: T-Zones
(check the box to retrieve messages immediately)
And it should work.
Enjoy!

Tytn won't download MMS

Hey folks,
Received notification of my first MMS since getting the Tytn. I selected "Download" and also "Send/Receive" several times, and it won't download the stupid thing.
I'm on Cingular, and here are the settings I entered manually, per Cingular's website:
Gateway: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 8080
Server: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via: (I've tried "The Internet" and "Media Net" here)
Sending size limit 250k
WAP version: WAP 2.0
The following items are checked in Preferences:
-Retrieve Messages Immediately.
-Save Sent Messages
-Allow Delivery Report
Attempts before giving up: 4
Photo resolution: original
The file being sent to me is only 109k so I don't think it's too big by any means.
Does anyone on Cingular have any different settings?
Thanks.

Cingular MMS Settings
Hello, this is my first reply on this board so here it goes.
i had plenty of problems at first with cingular and mms working together untill i tried these settings which are pretty similar to yours besides the port #.
Server name: Cingular MMS
Gateway: wirless.cingular.com
Port Number: 80
Server address: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via: My ISP
Sending size limitaion: 250k
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
Now a couple of explanations. ( to the best of my ability. please feel free to correct.)
server name: this is either the default name or you can create a new server name of your choice. I have gone as far as deleting the default server and creating the new name of Cingular MMS. Or for example you could put Joe Blows Server Or JBS for the new name whatever you like.
Gateway: has to be as is. (as far as I know.)
Port number: Although ther are several port numbers to use I have found that this number (80) is what actually made everything work.
Server address: has to be as is. (as far as I know.)
Connect via: whatever connections you have to connect to the internet you should have mms connect the same way.
Sending size limitation: 250k is the maximum. (If there is any way of getting mor plese let me know.)
WAP Version: I dont know the difference between WAP 1.2 and 2.0 except 2.0 sounds better.
Also under prefernces i have.
Retrieve messages imediately-checked
Download on home network only-not checked
Save sent messages-checked
Regect all messages-not checked
Allow delivery report-checked
Allow read report-not checked
Attempts before giving up-4
Photo Resolution-Origional
The only setting that I would think of be crucial is download on home network only. (for cost reasons. depending on plan. I guess.)
Other than that just make sure the little red arrow is on the server that you just configured or created and you should be set to go. if any one finds any of this info false please feel free to comment, otherwise this is what I have found to work on my htc tytn here in the usa on cingular and cingular UMTS. GOOD LUCK.....

correct, should be port 80, thats what mine is, and my max sending limit is 600...
here is another thought, why not extract the cab from the cingular extended rom that installs the MMS settings?

you also need to go thru the Cingular proxy server. set up the proxy server under Settings->Connections->Edit My Proxy Server for the connection you are using. under Advanced change HTTP to wireless.cingular.com also make WAP & Secure WAP 66.209.11.61 (leave the ports as they are).

The settings from Cingular website (https://www.cingular.com/support/deviceTutorials.do) is correct. However, I made 1 tweak:
In the "Connect via:" box, I put "My Work".
I created an additional entry in the "My Work Netwokr" (Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections) and put wap.cingular as the APN.
This way, when an MMS need to be sent or downloaded, the device will drop the 3G / GPRS connection and connect via the MMS setting. Afterwards, it'll connect back to the 3G / GPRS connection.

mine does that with the default setup, i stay on my isp, but if i send or recieve it automatically drops the connection and connects via media net, once its done it goes back to my isp

T-Mobile internet settings

I recently got an unlocked cingular 8525, and I have been using it with my T-Mobile service. The only thing that I need help with is what do I need to do to the phones internet settings to use it with my T-mobile service. So if someone could tell me the internet settings, that would be great.

this is what you need works a treat on my mda varioII with the new 2.05 rom.

Thanks, but I live in the US, so I dont think those settings will work. Can someone send me the US settings.

Hope this gets you going. Also, if you haven't already, I would suggest flashing a HTC rom on the device. This will give you voice command via the PTT button, among other useful updates.

Thanks. Will flashing a new rom erase all of the standard programs factory installed on the phone?

MMS Vodafone UK with WM5

Help! - Has anyone else transferred their O2 xda Exec to Vodafone, or does anyone have a V1640 that they can check the settings for MMS with me?
I've changed over to voda, have loads of apps installed. Vodafone's business help line seem blissfully unaware of the extra settings inside the Messaging App on WM5 for MMS config.
Normal internet connectivity is ok, but at the moment I can't seem to download any new MMS messages. They arrive in the inbox and the size shows up, but I just can't download.
For the Connection details - Stangely, using the dedicated IP that the support team provided for the IP address of 212.183.137.012 doesnt work, when its on IP address is provided, it does try and access messages, but just can't download them.
Its got to a stage now, where they seem unwilling to help because its "not a handset they provide" despite me explaining that its the same mobile OS as dozens of other handsets and the settings will be exactly the same as on any WM5 based device.
The settings they can't seem to help with are those inside the messaging app on the menu "MMS Configuration" (see below)
----------------------------
Messaging > MMS > Menu >MMS Configuration
Preferences Tab:
Retrieve messages immediately (ticked)
Download on home network only (unticked)

Can anyone help, its been several days now and its really annoying me!

Annoying, but here's how
Hi Derek,
I just got this working again after having the same problem as you. Here is my setup (based on WM6 on an O2 XDA Exec running on Vodafone) - and the trick you need to know is at the end:
Settings -> Connections, I created a new modem connection called "Vodafone MMS & Data" of type "Cellular line (GPRS, 3G)". Under this setting, I have created two connections, one called "3g data" and one called "3g Wap Connection".
"3g data" is set up with access point "internet", username "internet", and password (I think) also "internet"
"3g Wap connection" is set up with access point "wap.vodafone.co.uk", username "wap" and password "wap".
OK, so you have a connection with two options set up as a result of this. For 99% of your day-to-day browsing, you just leave the connection set to use "3g data" by default, but when you get the notification of an MMS message, disconnect any existing online session and then go in and select the "3g Wap connection" option, then tap-and-hold and select Connect. Once you're online with the Wap connection you can then go and download your MMS message.
Hope this helps,
Darren

Here's what to do
In Settings/Connections/Connections you should have one connection set up under My ISP for internet access:
Name: VF Web (or whatever)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: internet
user name: web
password: web
You should also have one connection set up under My Work Network:
Name: VF MMS (or whatever)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: wap.vodafone.co.uk
user name: wap
password: wap
Finally set up your MMS configuration to Connect via: My Work Network
That's how to link internet and MMS to the two separate connections.

I did indeed notice the date of the thread. However the advice given here was not the best solution. I was trying to set up MMS on my O2 Exec on a Vodafone sim for the first time a few days ago, and couldn't find a complete and proper solution anywhere. Thankfully I managed to work it out and posted it here in case it helps others. The Universal and WM5 are both still alive and kicking.

Thats ok mate, just joking
Thanks for your comment
