WAP issues..... - Wing, P4350 General

OK So I have the T-Mobile Wing, I had it unlocked and am going with Cincinnati Bell now because they have an Unlimited EVERYTHING plan for 60 a month. So Ive unlocked the network and everything works fine except WAP Internet. It connects to get my GMAIL ok. But when I attempt to load IE and a website. It says cannot find page. Here is the WAP setup i used. I know the Wing isnt the p5500 but its similar and the settings are the same throughout every phone. Anyone able to help me? Cincinnati bell tried to tell me my phone was incompatable with their network, but then the wanted to sell me a phone lol. Like I said EVERYTHING works except WAP Internet......

If you have unlimited internet access, you do not need to set the WAP which routes all data through a proxy.

I had to setup a WAP modem on the herald though. it wouldnt just connect. so i enter the proxy cincy bell gives. it all connects. but wont load a webpage

o2 wap

Hi,
Im new to the site and the phone, just got an upgrade on it.
Im on the old Genie contracts so O2 wont allow me to use GPRS, does anyone know if theres a way round this? Also they told me I cant use wap on this phone, is this true?
Thank you
back in the day many cellphone operators offered wap over gsm
but i think that the operator have to support it just like with wap over grps
do people really use wap with their xda's btw ?
i never use it it's ugly and a horrible std. and when ones device can do normal html then why bother with wap ?
Obviously Id rather use GPRS but the phone just doesnt give me access to it (O2 have told me they have de-activated from there side, only way to get it is to change my contract which i dont want to do), so I have no alternative but to use WAP unless there is a way round the problem.
today wap use grps if they deactivated grps then i doubt you can find any way around that
however as i said then wap can also be made to use pure gsm and not use grps
but if the network operator dont support wap over gsm then there is no way around that
so you can look for wap settings for o2 without grps that is if they support that and try those settings
I was on the old Genie contract and you can't use GPRS or MMS (Which uses GPRS) without changing your contract.
You still however have the GSM connection using the telephone number : 915000 and the user and password being o2wap, this is a "Cellular Line" and will only be 9600bps but that is free on the old genie contract and will work for web and wap and email and msn.. its basically a slow net connection that routes through their servers (which seem to sometims compress images horrifically).
I've changed my contract as i wanted MMS and GPRS. If on the o2 Active screen you choose myxda and then connections you can choose GSM, but this sets up two connections one which is a wap number and one that is very slightly different that is a web number, neither of which are 915000 (probably due to when you're roaming) and the web number maybe chargable if they're picky.
If you setup what the XDA calls an ISP connectiong with the wap 915000 it works fine. However the ISP connection seems to be for Web connections and if you try to goto wsp:// in IE it says there's no connection present as i think its set to dial the work connection for wap usage. I've only had my phone for about a month and haven't really had a chance to get any furthur with this.
Good luck.
Hope that all helped.

I have an O2 payg sim, I can connect to wap over gprs but I dont like wap, I use the gsm line to get full internet access for my 300 minutes free. It is very easy to setup and although it runs at only 9600 I am able to retrieve/send pop3 email and access all web sites. I delete all the autoconfig settings from connections before entering the gsm details.
I also have the old genie setup, and can both access wap and www etc using the original 915000 dial up free wap no. I am presuming you have the free message and free wap tarrif! If so I can give you the details if you pm me.
However you cant send or recieve mms messages still, you need to do this via the o2 site, when it bloomin works

Thank you everyone for your help, this seems like a great community here
mitchellgunn, thats the same one I got, unlimited free wap and txting, Ive sent you a PM

T-Mobile MDA US - GPRS Internet Services (T-Zones, etc)

What are you guys using to connect to the internet? I can do everything I want with T-zones unlimited, using the proxy... however, if I use the proxy, I can't connect to wi-fi because it wants to try to connect thru the proxy. What services are you using and what are your settings?
Thanks,
Danny
i will use
I wont get my MDA till monday according to UPS, but when i get it i plan on getting the Total Internet plan for 29.99. it includes GPRS, EDGE and Hot Spots. That is the plan the tmobile is advertizing with this phone.
I have the T-Mobile total internet package. I am not using the proxy server, and it connects to Hotspot just great.
However, I have not tried to access T-Zones. Well, I tried once, and got a network solutions 'page coming soon' thing. I doubt I have it correct. lol
hot spot
how does the hot spot autentication work?
im assuming they made it so i wouldnt be able to just put in my username and password on my laptop and log it into a hotspot.
I have unlimited internet 19$ plan.
I don't use any proxy server.
I don't think you can use the regular t-zone on this phone ($9 plan).
Otherwise all good, just use: internet2.voicestream.com in the gprs setup and the rest emty.
my 5.99 tmobileweb with proxy works very well with any website using internet explorer mobile. it doesn't work, however, with outlook or any other mail client or application that doesn't know how to use proxy. i'm glad that virtual earth 1.5 works well even with my tmobileweb plan.
as for the problem that the original poster described, in the connection settings, i created a connection especially for wifi. and to switch between wifi and tmobileweb, i go to 'select networks' and choose which ever connection i want in the two drop-down lists that i have.
Proxy Setup
msafi,
What are the settings for setting up the proxy? I used the proxy with my Nokia 6600 just fine, but, cannot get it to work on the MDA Wizard.
Thanks, SK

T-MOBILE USA GPRS HELP

Hi, i finally got the unlock code from Tmobile and i am now able to use my phone.
I am trying to setup the GPRS with Tmobile USA. I went onle and found some information, put it in and setup GPRS, but it does not seem to work. When i try to open a wap site with the GPRS, like wap.yahoo.com, it does not come up.
I do not pay for the GPRS, but from what i heard, with out devices, we can use it free, but not full web functionality. We can use pop, imap and stuff, and also get mms, and access wap site. Please if any one knows any configurations that work it will be greatly appreciated.
Try setting up your Proxy settings.
They changed their network requirement recently for Port 80 (HTTP). Be nice if they told everyone though!
Proxy setting should be:
216.155.165.50 on port 8080
According to the Tmobile sites I've frequented, there is no such thing as "free web" anymore and it disappeared months ago. Last time I checked personally, the cheapest you could get away with is the T-Zones data plan....whatever they call it now. I think it's 6 or 7 dollars a month and lets you use wap.voicestream.com as an access point. If you do that and use the proxy server 216.155.165.50, port 8080, you can get to most of the web. Recently, however, I've been reading that even that loophole is slowly being closed by area so while it mght work for me, it may not for you and it might not work for me tomorrow. You can certainly try it using the above access point and proxy setting, but don't be surprised if it does nothing without your paying for a data package.
Yeah, it seems they are slowly shutting down that "function" as mine works sporadically now. Damn. It was a bargain at $4.99/month for the last yr or so
yep - welcome to my world of 10 USD for 2MB a month ! :-(
A bargain indeed. I'm waiting to see if you can do the proxy workaround with your own proxy server. I've had the $20/mo package for ages and it's well worth it but my wife and son have the $5/mo package and use Tmo's http for web access and my own socks proxy for MSN Messenger. A fixed IP address is a big help but you might be able to get away with using dyndns.org for that, too. I guess we'll find out soon as more and more people find out they're starting to get what they paid for.
Well i'm sort of bummed out right now.
My t-mobile Tzones unlimited internet is working again, if I use the proxy. That's dandy. If I turn on my WI-FI and connect to my home wifi, however, I have to go into connections and turn off the proxy for my tmobile gprs in order for me to connect to the internet.
Perhaps I'm doing something horribly wrong, or is this the only way to do it? Please let me know.........
questionable
I have tried all i know, the proxy is blocking my wifi from connecting to the net, so i had to take it out. It says i am connected but i cannot seem to pull up any site, so i paid for the $5.99 t-zone deal, it says it might take a while to provision.
Now i am trying to test the connection by sending MMS, it has been a while i usually don't send MMS. How do i send MMS to a friend in london, i'm in the states, i know it is their mobile [email protected], just don't know what the something is. I know the US version is [email protected]. Thanks.
Also, my MDA PRo gives me an option of WAP1.2 or WAP 2.0, what is the diffrence?

Walk into a tmobile store and tell them that you want to pay for a sidekick plan for a compatible euro piece of hardware.
It will cost you $30 usd but its unlimited gprs
Create a new connection and use wap.voicestream.com as the access point. You might still have to call tech support if you don't bring the universal with you because the way I understand it, they ping the simchip and grab the IMEI over the air...may be better to just bring it.
Works great for me. I pop my verizon dsl mail all day with this baby
Now SOMEONE GET ME MY PUSH MAIL!!!
Try this settings...I hope this helps.

T-MobileWeb US

I previously had the T-Mobile Web plan working on my BA without using the proxy.. now all of a sudden it has stopped working. Can anyone else confirm this?
Still works for me.
You used to be able to cancel the T-Zones/T-Mobile Web after setting it up, and still enjoy the service without paying a gargantuan $6 / month. Now you must be a little more honest, and stay signed up with T-Zones.
Be sure your settings are:
Access point: wap.voicestream.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
If you use NetFront/Opera, you must manually set proxy in them as well.
I set up the proxy and it is working again.. but it has been working without the proxy for the longest time
Black,
Same here, I use to be able to connect on my 02 atom just fine with tmobile...i can't do it anymore. However I just did the proxy from above and now i can connect again...but it seems slower...
anyone else has this problem?

8525 not working with Tmo total internet

I just upgraded from tmobileweb to the total internet plan, and I am using an unlocked at&t 8525. The only way I can use anything on the connection on my phone is if I set the access point as wap.voicestream.com and set up all proxy servers to 216.155.165.50.
I thought as soon as I got total internet that I wouldn't have to set up any proxy settings on my phone. Any ideas why my phone is doing this, or am I completely off on my assumption on the total internet plan?
you should be able to use internet2.voicestream.com as your access point for all data transfers except MMS. for MMS you still need to se wap.voicestream.com
http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/phonefirst
try that link and copy the settings they recommend for the Wing.
I tried the settings for the Wing on that site, and it still doesn't work. I tried to test it out using Internet Explorer, and when I try a simple web site it immediately gives me an error stating it cannot connect with current connection settings.
When I do connect on a WiFi connection, everything works fine. When I had it set up with proxies and all, IE would use a WSP protocol in the URL (wsp://www.google.com) whereas the WiFi connection would use normal HTTP (http://www.google.com).
With some reg edits, it works!
UPDATE: I contacted T-mobile Tier 3 support and they were as stumped as I was. On a hunch, I kept the setup without proxy and had the access point to internet2.voicestream.com, and tried Opera. It works like a charm!
I recalled a spot on the HTC Tytn WIKI about hard-coded proxy settings for IE. This made sense since everything else seemed to work except IE. I went to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings and removed the 'EnableAutoDetect' key completely.
Did a soft reset on my phone, loaded up IE, and it works like it should be. Now I'm very very happy!
