T-Mobile US $5.99 Plan and HTC Home Weather - Networking

I set my Touch Dual up today using internet with the T-MobileWeb plan, which uses a proxy server. I'm finding that I can't get the HTC Home Plugin Weather to work.
Does anyone else here use the Tmobileweb plan and use HTC Weather? If so, what do i need to do to get it working?
I'm currently still using the stock ROM, WM6. Will be flashing a new ROM soon but wanted to get everything working here first. Any help would be appreciated.

Same issue here. I have wifi half the time and just use that. If I REALLY need the weather, I use a web page.

Bummer. But can't complain since it's $5.99. I'm using SPB Weather and it works fine. The only thing is that it doesn't show current weather. Does anyone use one that shows current weather that also works with the TMobile $5.99 plan?

I do not think it is the 5.99 vs full internet plan. I read somewhere saying the the HTC Home Weather Tab does not work with the data plan (however, it works on WIFI).
By the way, can someone share the TMO setting for using the Tmobile US $5.99 data plan on ATT Tilt?

Here's the setting:
5.99
start
settings
connections
connections
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 :216.155.165.50
click advanced
http: 216.155.165.50:8080
wap: 216.155.165.50:9201
secure wap: 216.155.165.50:9201
socks (blank)
under modem, your access point name should be : wap.voicestream.com
name and password blank.
under advanced check use server assigned ip address
use software compression
use ip header compression.
T-Mobile Total Internet
The only differences is instead of wap.voicestream.com, its:
internet2.voicestream.com or internet3.voicestream.com
And instead of ports 9201 its 9203.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The only problem I have is I need to switch my setting between accessing the internet and downloading my email. It seems the email setting is different from accessing internet. I haven't figure it out how to combine the two. Do let me know if you able to resolve this issue or don't have the same problem.
- cheers

my HTC weather still doesn't work. oh well.
i don't have problems with my exchange email. what are you trying to do?

still not working

Now the $5.99 plan is only for WAP pages and generally a selected group by T-Mobile I think. I assume the accuweather is HTML or XML.
However the Unlimited PDA plan should work at $19.99. Can anyone confirm that that works?

The only thing that hasn't worked for me with the $5.99 plan is HTC Weather. SPB Weather and WeatherPanel both work great for me.

theres a great free program to get weather on your today screen its called weather to go, and can be found here

There is a patch to make it work:

T-Mobile US Cab File

Hi,
Does anyone have or know where I can get a hold of this file. I flashed my Vario with the K-Jam Rom and now can't connect to the network.
Thanks
Did You mean Can't make calls?
Or internet?
Here are the T-Mobile US Settings, which is what I assume you're looking for.
Jon.
Thanks for the file. I programed in the internet settings myself, and although it was slow, it finally connected to T-Mobile for voice calls.
Cheers,

Jon - you rock. I thought I was about to spend too much additional money for a frinkin' cab file. got mms and gprs to work. now if I can just figure out how to set up email and get a wireless lan bug i have.
On the wireless side - I can get it to connect to my wireless router - but I cannot get it to browse the web via pocket IE. Any thoughts out there?

If you are using T-Zones service you can't get IE to work straight off as they have disabled port 80 and you can only go through the T-Zones proxy. It's a pain - the way around is go into T-zones (wap.myvoicestream.com) and use the options in the menu there to get to the web pages you want - I set up the ones I use as T-Zones bookmarks. I have a feeling if you pay for the 19.99 monthly internet service you can use the IE straight but havent tried that yet
Ok, maybe a stupid question, but what does this file really do?
I had Internet service working ok with the plain jane qtek 9100 rom after making an account and poking in the right GPRS gateway, and voice calls worked as soon as I put in the sim. Text and MMS seemed fine too (at least until I upgraded to the new qtek rom - but that's another thread).
So I'm sure I'm missing something, but what actually is in the CAB?

I am not sure I understand the approach you are giving - if I want to leverage my current ISP provider and my wireless LAN connection on my K-JAM - I have to do what? What seems to be happening is I can connect to my WLAN at home - get an IP address, good signal, etc - however - when I try to go to Google or something - is says "Locating" but never connects. I messed around with the proxy setting for T-Mobile and actually turned them off - and was able to connect through my WLAN (not GPRS) - however, that screwed up my WAP setting and now I can't ge into wap.myvoicestream.com (of course). Anybody have the manual settings for the T-mobile proxy they can share? I tried reloading the T-mobile .cab file - but it errors out.
Don't you think there should be a way to use your WLAN (which I already pay for and does not cost T-Mobile any $$) and GPRS t-zones (which I already pay T-Mobile for)?
thanks works great
settings, setup? Please help!
Please help!
I installed the file, nothing seems to be changed. All the connection settings dissapeared from setup. when I go to IE, web page, right away gives me an arror message, "can't connect". before it was "loading" and it was like forever..
May be I should put in the settings manually?
Is there a detail how?
I have WM6.1 (TMobile, internet service active on the plan)
I spent hours calling tmobile tech support,, - 0!
PLEASE GIVE AN ADVICE!
Thanks a lot!
Have any of you tried my Tmobile CABs ?

T-Mobile US GPRS being wierd...only IE works

Hey all...so im using a little loop whole to use free tmobile internet via proxy settings...now i got the internet to work, but only IE works! i cant get online with any other program such has AIM, myweather app, or anything else, only IE goes online...anyone have this issue? or how to fix it? its driving me crazy!
could be they are blocking the ports used for such services
i dunno?...Live search is the other only program tht works online too...
i believe that it use port80 like browsers too
It uses port 8080, Using IM+ and setting the AIM port to 110 will allow you to connect, but remember it's only a few ports that are open and other programs might not have a setting to change ports for it to work with the Tzones proxy.
You can't (as yet) use 1 connection setting on the T-Mobile network using the T-Zones proxy workaround. I have been (tediously) using 2 connections.
(for internet)
T-Zones proxy
wap.voicestream.com
216.155.165.50:8080
(for mail)
T-Mobile Data
wap.voicestream.com
**no proxy settings**
I've been searching for a way to set up one connection to use which would automatically bypass and use a second connection if connectivity couldn't be established. No one seems to have an answer for this, but i'd love it if someone could figure it out!
I'm waiting as well...
I aked the same question and still waiting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340945
This happened after I flashed the latest TMO ROM, prior to that I had one connection for all my internet apps. Now my weather,and email don't need a proxy but PIE and Live search do what has changed?

CABs for T-mobile U.S. GPRS and MMS settings

I put together these cabs for T-mobile data plans. I have the $5.99 plan so I haven't tested the other ones, but people have told me they work.
the $5.99 cab automatically sets up the proxy.
All the cabs set up connections so that GPRS is not used unless no other connections (WIFI or Activesync) are available.
MMS (for ArcSoft MMS 4.2.8.1 but it probably works for other versions) sets size limit to 600k and will not resize pictures (I think T-mobile limits MMS data to 300k).
Cool, members are always looking for tmob setup cab's!
So, gprs internet2.voicestream.com is part of the 29.99 plan cab?
Yes:
29.99 = internet2.voicestream.com
39.99 = internet3.voicestream.com
I think they must've changed prices...
Which one do I use if I have the unlimited data for $20/month?
Thanks

This was the ONLY way I could get the 5.99 t-zones plan to work on my windows mobile 6.1 tilt. Great work man!

Well, it half works. Before using your CAB, I couldn't get Opera Mobile 8.65 to connect at all through the proxy on my HTC Touch Cruise. Now, I can make normal connections in Opera through the proxy, but still can't get HTTPS to connect. No problems connecting with wifi.
UPDATE 10/29/07: I had occasion to revisit these cabs when my friendly neighborhood IT group screwed up my network connections with some automated script they forced down my phone. After running tmobyjoe599.cab again, things were all fixed. I also had no problems with HTTPS and Opera.
I think t-mobile blocks the port on the $5.99 plan. HTTPS uses port 443. You could try some different ports and if you find one that works, let me know and I'll update the CAB.
The settings for Tmo's proxy are:
HTTP 216.155.165.50:8080
WAP 216.155.165.50:9201
Secure WAP 216.155.165.50:9203
Socks 216.155.165.50:1080​216.155.165.50:1080
and this is what my system shows. The Tmo proxy is unauthenticated, so I tried to test against it using my laptop and wifi. Manually setting the FF3 HTTP proxy to 216.155.165.50:8080, and leaving all the other proxy options blank, I had no trouble bringing up HTTPS pages.
maybe it has something to do with the access point (wap.voicestream.com)

That's not really an access point. It's a conventional proxy which serves to restrict most anything but web or mail access, but otherwise doesn't restrict traffic.

Would someone kindly explain what the above cabs are for? I don't want to make any assumptions, but do the cabs provise software to make an unlocked HTC Wizard work as if its a T-Mobile device at the various rate plans - assuming your sim has that plan?
Is the $5.99 the prepaid plan?
I just bought used MDA and am using my prepaid SIM. Having trouble with tzones working - though admittedly it doesn't do much.
Thanks in advance for the help.
tried but didnt seem to work on vs 24 rickywatts 6.1
does this still work?? i have a tmobile wing with touch it rom
The only way to find out if it works for YOU is to try it. Please let us know....
great work!!
Works like a charm! I thought they might have shut down the proxy for the 5.99 plan. Is there a MMS cab that I didn't see? Again thanks alot.
Should I delete all my existing proxies?
I have proxy settings in
settings..Connections....Proxy
should I remove them before applying the tmobyjoe CAB?
what is the "new-inet:1159" proxy server in the Kavana ROM? Is that just rubbish or what?
Also, I don't understand why there are so many proxies and connections. Is there something I can read to understand the relative significance of
"work" "TMobile MMS" "Tmobile Data" "WAP Network" "Secure WAP Network" and "The Internet"
and then the various proxies that route to these various networks?
I don't get why it is so complicated and why I need so many networks and proxies and so on.
i can recieve my yahoo emails giving me cannot connect with this settings?
i can recieve my yahoo emails giving me cannot connect with this settings? i had it working but now its not connecting to recive my emails
Hey everyone. I've added the $5.99 service to my account and I've tried both manually entering the settings and I've tried the CAB for the $5.99 service. No joy...
I can't download email and when trying to browse the web at all GPRS connects, the page tries to load and then I get the following error:
"Error: Requested content
'www.google.com/' cannot be accessed.
You do not have access to the site."
What am I doing wrong?
Also, in the GPRS Settings do I want PAP Auth. or CHAP Auth. selected? It's on PAP Auth.
I live in Denver, CO, if it makes any difference.
Thanks!
EDIT: Interestingly enough it's working now... of course something else had to break, I can't connect to the net via USB now. No biggie, never used that anyway.

T-Zones settings GPRS

Hi all I couldn't find this anywhere so I thought I would post it as it worked on my dash with WM6.1
I have Tzones and I setup the APN as epc.tmobile.com and the proxy as 216.155.165.50:8080 and the internet connects like it should. So if you already have the 5.99 Tzones (as you can't get it anymore) then this is a real cheap way for you to surf the web.
This works for me with Skyfire and IE
Peace!

Thanks, I wanted to tether as well.. for some reason I can't. Is there anything i need to change in the settings? thanks
Hi,
This did not work for me, and not sure why. This is my first smartphone (unlocked Palm Treo 750 running winmoble5). Everything works except T-zones. I'm able to get a connection using the APN wap.voicestream.com. I just get errors display the page. On my IE options settings, I have no connections tab as someone said should be use in a previous post.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You don't need a proxy. I run all the time without one using open dns dns servers. I use epc.tmobile.com.

Any way to fully enable wap for applications on x10??

Hey everyone!
i was just wondering if there is any way to enable wap for applications in x10?
we can only use the main browser through wap...!
we can't use timescape or facebook or ebuddy or marketplace, track id or any other application.
any solution for this?
Thanks
By WAP you mean GPRS connection right? I'm using it for everything except Youtube when WiFi off
Have you set the GPRS setting? Or just do auto settings under mobile network settings?
I read on an other forum that there were people who had the same problem.
As I like to buy the x10, I'm really curious what might cause this. Unfortunally I haven't got a reaction on my question.
So I you find a solution, can you post it here?
Thx

no, by wap i mean wap. Gprs is a complete different thing. In my country GPRS service cost 25$ for 250mb only.
wap is already unlimited for 5$ only. And i was using wap connection on my iphone (browser, opera mini, push/email, ebuddy, marketplace/itunes).
Now i cant use WAP with any of these applications! only the default browser is enabled. any solution ? :s
GPRS is a connection type, like WCDMA or CSM.
WAP is more like HTML, a data type. The default android browser can't display WAP formatted pages.
Do you mean dial up internet?
Wap is a gprs connection that uses a proxy server with a port: 80 or 8080
it is clear now ?

If you are with Rogers would you mind giving me a hand how to set it up for WAP on the default browser? Just a list of the settings will do. I tried different APN settings from various online sources and the settings from my old W810 but I couldn't even get browsing to work! I tried setting Opera Mini to use HTTP instead and of course nothing works. The unlimited browsing only plan I have is simply a waste at the moment. Thanks!
EDIT: after trying a few things I was able to get the default browser working... but no, the other apps don't work with WAP... not even if I set Opera Mini to use HTTP.
ok, i was having this problem too and i found a way around it.
you have to go to your APNs and edit the APN you are using.
go to the port tag (should be labeled as 80) and erase it making it blank.
save>restart your phone, everything should work fine.

Tried this and only the default browser works...
I have experienced the same issues as described above,
if the default browser is working correctly however stand alone apps fail it may be the APN used has restrictions disabling the use of non-browser data traffic, commonly networks will have a minimum of 3 APNs, e.g WAP, MMS, and Internet.
On this basis I would recommend you ask you provider for the details of thier internet APN (commonly used when using your phone as a modem or email account access) and test accordingly.. if everything works this would confirm restrictions are in place, and a requirement to use an unrestricted APN for full functionality.
As noted different APNs may have differnt charging structures, hence the limitations sometimes when using wap apn access.

The port for my APN (Japanese version) was left blank by default, but I couldn't access my hosted email and website on the X10. Every other website and email worked fine. When I added 80 as the port, I can now access my hosted email and website without a problem.
I'm happy that this seems to have fixed it, but does anybody know why setting the port to 80 worked for me but gave problems for others?
had simualr problem ... calt my x1 support they said that i need to turn on roaming and then it workt .. this is becouse i use tele2 and they dont have there own network they only rent it from netcom so you need to turn on roaming that can be found in settings >wirreles network>mobile network (can have aother name ..my mobile is in norwegiang .. )try that,
