Hey, I need a little help.
I am currently on pre-paid with my HD2 with Android on it, and i wanted to get some prepaid data for a month while i go interstate (300mb). But the problem is, i dont know if i will be able to get it with different Roms and Radios that i have installed. Will I be able to use data? (Im in Australia and on Virgin if that helps.)
Also.... I was looking aroud the forums for a fix for MMS after i found out i couldnt send any, how do change APN and all the guides to fix APN have settings to do with T-Mobile, will it still work for me???
One more thing..... Once i get data on my HD2 can i connect it to my laptop when travelling and use the phones internet on the laptop (with bluetooth or the usb cord?)?
Thanks Alot!!!!

Yes. See the FAQ entry on Howard Forums - I wrote a piece on how to fix this. I am running the Imate ROM.

Can you point a link to the download that you mention in the FAQ.
I have the updated ROM but unable to get the GPRS working for T-Mobile USA. Many thanks in advance.
alright i got my GPRS back up and running.
i just added a new connection, called it T-MOBLE GPRS and set the access point to internet2.voicestream.com.
most people on this forum mention how this particular ROM seems to run faster, but i havent really noticed any performance increases yet
Possible help GPRS, etc
This might be of benefit to some with the GPRS trouble after update.
1. I did the Imate ROM update and had lots of trouble with GPRS MMS etc..
2. Didn't know how to fix so - I started over...
3. I installed the Qtek ROM and had the same connection issues.
4. Called T-Mobile - got a 3rd level tec and he suggested something I had not heard before. Now keep in mind that I had reset several times hard and soft. He had me go inot Comm and hit the phone icon - and turn it off and on. I am not sure exactly why - but it worked! His explanation was that since I was going back and forth between work and home that the phone (which is supposed to switch automatically didn't and) got locked somehow. I am pretty new to all of this but already did 3 ROM updates - so learning a lot.
5. Now all my connections work the way they are suppose to. Only ONE connection and that is wap.voicestream.com as it should be. My WiFi connection is blazingly fast! I am a happy camper - but I went around and around with this for about 2 days before getting a tec that gave me this advice.
Perhpas someone can tell me which is newer (better) the Qtek or the Imate ROM??
Thanks,
Shep
ok i have searched all over howard forums and here about the GPRS settings for T-Mobile USA.
in one particualr post it mentions you have to set the appropriate access point for your type of internet service. Personally, i have the T-Mobile total internet for $29.99.
I have applied both of these setting as my access point
internet2.voicestream.com and wap.voicestream.com
both of these settings allowed me to connect to the GPRS network, so i guess my question is which setting should i be using????
T-Mobile is shipping all these devices with wap.voicestream.com, and has opened the ports for people on the "real" internet service using it.
If you use "internet2", you will have problems with MMS, since you can't send MMS through that AP. There are workarounds for this but they are messy. My recommendation is that you use wap.
Hey,
My friend's phone has (free) Internet access. I doubt it's free but I know she doesn't have a data plan, and she claims she isn't getting any usage charges for accessing the Internet. She's had Cingular for a few years now. Do they offer pay-as-you-use Internet?
Anyway, I'm wondering if I could somehow establish a connection with her phone and then access the Internet. Possibly Bluetooth? I'm using the Wing (HTC Herald).
Generally phones that have BT can function as BT modem. The paring on your side should be pretty straight forward but setting up your friends phone (not a WM device right?) depends on its model.
Yeah I posted the message because I couldn't get it working. I thought I had everything set up correctly on my phone. I probably... I just have to set hers up correctly. She has a Nokia N75 - http://www.nseries.com/index.html#l=products,n75
Anyone have any experience with this?
Cingular does have pay as you go, it is very expensive like 1.5cents per k. This ads up in an awful hurry. If this is a new account for your friend, you should check online and see if she is racking up data usage. If so add a data plan before the billing cycle ends. Can be done through cs and they will make it retroactive.
N75 should work as a modem with the HTC Wing without a problem.
I rarely come up to see a data plan in US that have unlimited data access btw
Oh also btw, theres a simpler solution to just insert your friend's sim card into your T-mobile Wing (as long as its unlocked ). Cingular and T-mobile both use GSM anywayz (not like Sprint or Verizon using CDMA).
I've spent countless hours on the phone with T-mobile customer care, days searching the net. I tried basically every single setting possible and no matter what I do I can't connect to the internet or send MMS on my Tilt at all. Does anyone have any Idea how to get wap or mms working for t-mobile on windows mobile 6.1?

I'm hoping that you already have a data plan, if not then you might want to add it by calling the Tmobile or just add it by logging through the website. This is what I use on mine:
Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Add or Manage new connection and on Access Point Name (APN) wap.voicestream.com and hit next and just click finish.
Good Luck
thanks for the help
I had the 5.99 t-zones package which worked fine on windows mobile 6.0. After flashing 6.1 It wouldn't work and I do have the access point set to wap.voicestream.com, I'm not one to just post a question without doing my research. I tried numerous different settings and followed numerous tutorials but nothing works. I finally resorted to ordering the $19.99 Internet package and oddly it works just fine now, instead of using the access point wap.voicestream.com I changed it to internet2.voicestream.com for the 19.99 internet plan. It sucks however that I have to pay 15 dollars a month extra to enjoy what I paid only 5.99 a month for before. The reason why I don't switch back to WM 6.0 is because I have grown accustomed to the threaded sms and it's a feature I really don't want to give up. I know there's threaded sms application but nothing can compare to having it built in. If anyone has a fix for this or can give some idea's please do. I'd much rather revert back to paying 5.99 a month as opposed to the 19.99 I began paying a month today.
this is a cab file I made for the tmo $5.99 plan and arscsoft mms 4.2.8.1. It works on my wm6 rom. Maybe it'll work for you.

I will give it a try now, I have to call T-mobile and have them switch me back to the 5.99 plan. I've got my fingers crossed.
::EDIT::
After I installed your .cab file and had t-mobile switch my plan to the 5.99 t-zones it now WORKS!! Flawlessly. Dude you don't know how many threads I came across with so many people that had the same problem and just could not get this working. Maybe you should make it's own thread for this that I can link people to with the same problem, that way you'll get the credit for you work and people from other forums can be directed to xda-developers.
Again thank you for this, I really appreciate it!
Good Idea, I originally posted these in Lurches thread but he has removed his, and these were buried pretty deep.

Glad it worked for you!

Hi guys! I have searched for a thread like this and couldn't find anything I was looking for so I am very sorry to have to post a new thread!
I am now a proud G1 owner. Changed from HTC Touch Pro.
Just bought this - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130364847382&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I love it already! As you can see the phone has been unlocked and I am using it on orange UK network.
I can make calls etc but when I try to access the web it says no connection available.
I can put my simcard in my old phone in my bedroom and instantly get a signal to be able to go on the web.
Any help guys?
Many thanks
Steven
You must configure your WiFi connection or your APN list in order to access the internet via carrier.
To configure your APN list search for your carrier settings here:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist
Get the parameters and create a new APN.
yeah you must have a data connection in order to view web, go to the market, sync gmail...really you need data for almost everything with these phones
Thankyou so much! Problem solved!! I absolutely love this phone compared to my HTC touch Pro! So fast! So responsive!! THANKS!
Hi i was wondering if it is possible ro re-flashed my HTC EVO?
I cant get that web or mms ro work... I have it on metropcs already...
But that thing is that i took my phone to a wireless shop and they just got me txt n calls... but no web or mms...
I dont know what to do to get that web going or mms...
Is there any solutions i can do?
Also i can get that PORTS to appeared on my DEVICE MANAGER? any idea why it wont showed?
i check on that SDCARD and that only ROT file it has its called EARTHROT...
sry im new to this flashing process...
Thanks..
what are you talking about? you have an evo that is not on sprint network and you need to know how to get network access? if you dont have a data plan you dont have a data plan, simple as that. If you want a data plan take it to your wireless provider and up your game a lil bit
btw do a search next time

What i was trying to say is that I paid this wireless shop that also are authorized by metropcs to FLASHED my HTC EVO that i bough on ebay...
But that thing is that they told me that only Txts n Calls will worked not WEB OR MMS... So im guessing they didnt know how to do that yet...
Also i had ATT at that time... So after they flashed my phone i sing up on their network... So Im under metros pcs networks for a few days...
What im saying is that how can i get that WEB n MMS to work on my HTC EVO...
I believe its rooted already....
what is your information in settings > about phone > software information?
Android version
baseband
kernel
build number
software number
browser version
actually cancel that, your best bet is going to the metro PCS thread or contact them directly,.

1. this guy has a rom for metropcs,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182
2. to get the phone "to show" in device manager -connect usb, select charge only, open dialer and type ##diag# this will put phone into diagnostic mode and will allow you to connect to qpst etc.
