FYI:
When I updated my profile, I noticed that the listing for providers list:
* BellSouth Mobility (now Cingular Wireless for about 4 years)
* ATT Wireless (Now Cingular Wireless for about 6 months)
Also the picture does not represent BellSouth or Cingular. Just wondering if this was going to be updated.

Before you go on to post "read the wiki" ,"search the thread noob" etcetc
Ive done that and i found no help for it other than some settings, which i already tried(didnt work) and ive gotten more settings from the fido csr
and ive plugged those in but still no.(tested gprs/edge by starting pocket IE)
no connection.
I've gotten the value pack for fido which includes the Instant messaging portal for msn and yahoo where i can chat and message and check email unlimited... now the only problem is i cant connect to gprs/edge to use it.
question 1. how do i get the dam settings to work?
question 2. am i able to use the messenger included in the rom? or do i need to use the one specifically for fido?
question 3. once the previous 2 are answered..... Am I able to make it where only the associated program uses gprs/edge for data..so that way if i use pocket ie on wifi i can still use watever im using with gprs?
ie: surf the net on wifi, while im chatting msn on gprs?
thats all i got for now,
I'm using a softbank x01ht with black majik rom.
Thanks for any help i receive.
When I first got a windows phone I was so determined to get it set for Fido's services. With my Universal it took me days to figure out what the settings were. I thought I knew everything after that. Turns out that there are a bunch of other factors such as MMS won't work until you've exchanged msg's with another FIDO customer. Also internet doesnt work without a proper plan first, it doesnt work like it used to , which was PAYG. Lastly the settings don't kick in until you reset the phone, and even then I have heard stories from some where it took upto half hour for some settings to kick in. I find it so complicated now that I seem to know where all the free wi-fi hotspots are around my area.
I hope this doesn't discourage you from figuring out ur settings through trial&error.
I encounter none of what you said. I dont use MMS so I am not familiar with ..all others is no big deal.
It takes me 30 seconds for set up and I am ready to go.
ps: I am on a unlimited for years.....
Well I guess it mustve been different with the Universal and your Hermes.
thanks for the feedback still havent figured it out as of yet though i do know theres supposed to be a dial out to *90# or something like that cant check the txt i received from fido right now.
anyways i hope to get it up soon, im gonna try to port over the IM program thats in my friends rogers tytn and see if i can change the settings on that thing for fido.
wish me luck
They toys bahave different

You bet money on it. I have an 8125 and also an 8525, both have exactly the same UI to set the connections up, however with exactly the same settings I´m able to surf the WEB, get GMail, all MSN Live services,etc only with my Wizard because with the Hermes I´m able to open just a very few wap sites. I´ve had this problem since day one with my Hermes and looking for a solution in this site and in many others I´ve found that I´m not the only lucky person with a $400 toy that performs worst than the cheapest Nokia, there´s a lot of people with same problem and nobody knows why this happens. (See my signature)
For those who've got it working, could you please share HOW? It would be much appreciated.
Hey folks,
As subject I've not been around much since my Blue Angel was relegated to the glove-box for sat nav duties only. Since then I've had a few 'phone' phones, and I've also had a Vario II for a while. I've not really frequented here much because, well, it worked pretty well for what I use it for (mobile net surfing and being used as modem for my laptop). Anyway, my boss got a TyTN 2 and I had my first real look at WM6 - and I ended up here again!
Anyway, I've just flashed my Vario II with the HTC WM6 ROM from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320829 - so far so good... It's 'working' - Phone is functional - It seems stable - I took it to bits and fixed the broken power-button too!
...I do have one pretty big issue though - I only ever use this phone for Internet Explorer Mobile / Opera and then as a modem for my laptop...
At the moment it's not connecting to the net... I've tried to copy the settings from a friend's Vario II but no joy (unless there is a password for the user 't-mobile'?) When I first put my SIM back in I got an SMS from T-Mobile saying 'reply to this message and we'll send you mms settings' etc. - when I replied I get the 'use the PIN 1234 on the settings' message but then no message with settings arrives. I tried to send the same things from T-Mobile's website and still no joy. I have done a couple of searches on the board but unless I've spectacularly missed it I can't see anything.
...Does anyone at all know how I can get my phone to connect to 3G/GPRS again? (It'd be nice to see HSDPA too but I'll not push my luck!)?
Here ya go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311446
In case you are using a T-Mobile Prepay card: that won't work!
Hey,
Thanks for your reply. Will those cabs be OK to use on a UK Vario II?
Thanks again and regards,
Rob.
Check out the WIKI at: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_provider_cabs
UK is on there too!
BTW: It might be also a good idea to extract the hidden ROM from the official TMO_UK ROM?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337163
hi guys i have been trying to get the internet working on my device for months i have been into the o2 store which was a waste of my time as no one had even heard of HTC even though they sell they rebranded products but i have been on various websites installed various cabs but to no avail i downloaded the latest settings here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_provider_cabs
any ideas or has person managed to get o2 working on their hermes if they could tell me the settings that would be great and thanks for listening to my mini rant
I had a similar problem presently. I attached my setting for O2 pay as you go. If on contract the same setting should work if you change "payandgo" to "o2wap". I put my setting together from quit a few sources, if you want my source folder (4mb) will have to see how I can get to you. I'm not sure if i can attach that size of file. I had a bit of a problem when it came to me setting the time format and zone, in the end I set them via a time.cab which was made with wince and altering the reg setting in the program. You'll have to pm me if you want to no more about wince.
I have the Tmobile dash and want to run AT&T on it without having all the junky tmobile software (ESPECIALLY THE STARTUP ANIMATION). Is there a Rom that could be used to have software with AT&T stuff on it?
Just wanted to ask. Friend wants this phone but with AT&T stuff on it.

None that I know of. All of the ROMs besides T-Mo officials are gonna display either Rogers or HTC screens. Nothing with AT&T since AT&T doesn't carry the Excalibur.
HTC screen would work. just so long as not tmobile. will have to see what is a good rom to use that does not have the myfaves junk or the other stuff. any good recommendations on roms that work good for it?
Thanks for the help.
Flandrel
Try out Ricky's v23 ROM. It has a lot of programs on it, but they're *useful*. Also, it's Windows Mobile 6.1, which is hot hot hot.

There's also some steps you can also perform to add custom startup splash screens, Now granted it will still show either the tmobile or htc first screen (depending on the rom you have) and then the windows mobile screen after that , but the 3rd screen, where applicable can be changed to whatever 320 X240 .gif image and the startup and shutdown sounds can also be changed too. So in other words, although you will have the HTC screen if you chooses kavana's or rick's ROM you can still create a custom At&t ( or find one) .gif image to be displayed at startup. Here's the link for instructions for that.

Read the stickys on upgrading. Jocky made a bypass for offical ROMs and 6.1 doesnt even need it
Got this all setup for my Tmobile Wing. Whohoo. Now looking at the Dash on trying to setup the AT&T settings for Internet and MMS, etc.
Any clues? Easy to do on Wing with touchscreen and more options to choose from.
I have it updated with the HTC 1.33.422.1 (Worldwide English, WM6) ROM. (Didn't want the Tmobile one)
Thanks,
Flandrel

Have you tried the AT&T website? T-Mobile's site has the settings for MMS and Internet, so AT&T's may have the same.
They're also posted in the wiki. I've been looking for someone to test them out to see if they actually work with AT&T.

Found the settings in the wiki. Gonna try them out and will let you know.
UPDATE: This is with Factory Tmobile WM6 ROM.
Going by these settings:
# MMSC settings for MMS:
#
Start > Messaging > Scroll to MMS > Menu > Settings > MMSC Settings
* Name is AT&T MMS
* MMSC is http://mmsc.cingular.com
* Data connection is The Internet
* Gateway is WAP 2.0 Gateway
* IP Address is 66.209.11.32
* Port is 80
* Encoding is Binary (DO NOT SEE THIS OPTION ANYWHERE)
* Click "done"
#
Then in Send Options
* Priority is normal
* Validity period is maximum (DO NOT SEE THIS AREA AT ALL)
* Deffered Delivery is immediate (DO NOT SEE THIS AREA AT ALL)
* Click "done"
#
Then in Receive Options (DO NOT SEE THIS AREA AT ALL)
* Home and roaming reception is automatic
* Allowed message types: informational, advertisement, auto
These settings from the Wiki are for the "From AT&T's settings support page for the Motorola Q Global"
Unless the MotoQ has alternate settings you can choose.
I even did not see alot of those settings using the HTC ROM for the Excalibur either.

Well if you live in LA Tmobile cell service is not the greatest great service for texting though. that's why I use AT&T. They were alot better when they were Cingular. AT&T are very arrogant, JMO.

1. Tmobile in my area SUCKS!! Always has, always will. Customer service was rotten to the core. Even the local representatives were arrogant and not very helpful.
2. Tmobile told me before when I kept losing signal or had no signal that it was my phone. I unlocked it and kept Tmobile SIM card in and still had issues. Tried AT&T SIM card in it and got full complete signal. Tmobile didn't know what they were talking about.
3. AT&T has always been good to me. Not to mention I get a corporate discount of 25% off my bill and accessories. None of this with Tmobile.
4. Tmobile never, never would give any type of deal on phones. Had to beg and plead and they still wouldn't. With AT&T I got 4 phones (2 samsung, LG, and my Tilt) totaling $1500 for $50 after rebates, etc. Could not pass this deal up.
5. Tmobile been promising for last year and half for 3G. Still don't have it up and if they do it is just in the beginning stages. That was a condition I had when I signed up. Talked to local rep and even called customer service when I signed up in May 2007. They told me by end of 2007 that 3G would be available. It is just now getting there if even that.
6. But I would still like to be able to use my Wing as a backup in case. So still trying settings out to get it to work, even though it will never have 3G on it.

Sorry guys, if i am postin this in the wrong section...I have searched and searched, but I still havent found an answer.
My problem is on my TyTn, before i had some other cooked ROM, and since my TyTn is not from the carrier I am using (switched from Rogers, to Fido>>Canada), I have a a data plan with them. On the previous rom i had, manilla2D or something like that, all I had to do was select my country, Canada in the Connection setup, and then choose my carrier, and then my internet would be set up.
Now.....
I have upgraded my Rom to "Pays_WWE_305_Final_Full" and when i go to connection set-up, Canada is not there. Fido gave me an APN, username+password, and primary & secondary DNS. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong.
Can anyone please help me, I currently paying an extra 25 bucks for this but i can't even use it. Is there like a patch or any of the sort to just upload to my TyTn so that I can have these settings; Location: Canada, Carrier: Fido...?
Thanks in advance.
Take a look at the attached text-file...
