Softbank: Access Internet *99# not working with WM6? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

I am using a O2 Trion in Japan with a Softbank SIMCard. Just flashed a WM6 ROM and found that the Access Internet connection via *99# does not work anymore. Anybody has experienced this?
Thanx.

yeah, it's much better now; go to internet sharing and select USB then activate; it automatically connects, and what's more, your computer recognised the Hermes like it's a LAN card so you just go straight ahead and browse.

Sorry, I think I was not clear enough with my problem. The GPRS connection does not work anymore. It does not connect, respectively the connection is terminated after a second with the message "the remote party has ended this connection". That never happened with WM5.

I am trying since half a day. Re-flashed twice. Even called Softbank. No way. It's strange: All other functions work like charm. I am using XDA Live v0.20

Could you please describe exactly how you are trying to access the internet. In WM6 yo do NOT use *99#. I am not sure, but from what you are saying I get the feeling that you are still uing this method.

Yes, indeed, maybe this is my mistake. I have a Softbank simcard, but I am neither using their X0HT nor their Japanese ROM. Until now I used "Site Direct".
As this seems not availbale anymore from 1 April for non-Softbank ROM user, I thought I can use the "Access Internet" service via *99# instead. Is there any other way?

You dont need to dial up. You simply get the operators APN (access point) and any required username and password and create a new Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) connection.

"*99#" is NOT the dial up service. It's the GPRS connection to access their "Access Internet" service:
Access point: *99#
Username: [email protected]
Password: softbank
That is the way I have been using WM5 since more than half a year. And this does not work with WM6. It works, but the connection is interrupted after a second.
They of course also offer a dial up service, but that's a different set up.

Aparently SOFTBANK are very choosy about their accesspoint. Their gateway checks the user agent. Do a search on here for softbank GPRS access.

Getting confused.
If you want to browse or send e-mail FROM the phone itself you do not need to enter *99# etc, only the APN address. You enter the *99# ON YOUR LAPTOP, if you are using the phone as a modem.
What exactly is the problem? Can you not browse the net on the phone itself (if you use PIE, can you surf the net)? Or can you not access the net from your laptop using the phone as a modem? I understood the latter to be the case.
If you CAN surf on the phone itself, but NOT on your latop using the phone as a modem, then the solution SHOULD be simple. In WM6 the function where the phone acts as a modem (DUN) no longer exists. So exit *99# crap. Forget it. If you try to use that, it wont work.
Instead, do the following. In programs, start INTERNET SHARING. Set the connection to USB. Then click connect. The phone should now connect to the internet. Next plug in your USB cable into the laptop. The laptop should now recognize a new network card (a Windows Mobile Internet Sharing Device) and use it to access the net. No more *99#.
It should work. I am posting this using my phone as a Windows Mobile Internet Sharing Device (yep) right now.

According to my carrier *99# is the APN, that's the problme I am trying to describe.
http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/en/service/data/communication/sb3g_v8/index.html
And it always worked this way with WM5.

Sorry man, can't help.
Weird APN name. Usually that *99# string (and all kinds of variants like *99*1#) is a "phone number" you enter when using the phone as a modem, not the name of an APN. Hence my confusion.
I did stumble across some threads on accessing Softbank --- one of them was called how to access SOftbank without cooking a ROM. Have you seen those?
Anyway, good luck.

I'm having this same problem with my TomTom 910. It can't establish and internet connection, but can connect to my handset.

Are you on Softbank too?
Have you tried deleting all connection info, doing a soft reset, recreating your connection, doing a soft reset?
I remember that my phone refused to connect to the net once, and when I checked my connection settings (APN etc) all was OK. Yet it refused to connect, no mail, no browsing, nothing. Whenever the phone tried to go online I refused some kind of error message that the connection was closed or dropped or whatever. In the end, I just went in to Start - Settings - Connections, deleted the connection, did a soft reset and then recreated the connection. I entered the exact same APN as before but his time, mysteriously, the phone could establish connection again.

this worked for me on my treo 750v
Access point: softbank

i can surf the web via PIE, download emails via pocket outlook, sync avantgo content using these settings connecting to SB's GPRS APN.
What i have not figured out is how to send outgoing mails via pocket look using the above connection. I seem to get a returned mail all the time. Driving me nuts.

The link above is for softbank mobile communications which is using your phone as a modem for a PC or other device. Not for browsing from the phone. There is a whole thread on this form for how to setup your device post 1 April when they changed the access point password.

This is a Hermes WM6 thread. Do you have a Hermes device? If so, there are CAB files you can use to automatically populate the Softbank APN information to your Hermes.

All those still having problems with WLM

After extensive serching through the forum and the Wiki i was stumped as to why WLM was failing to sync.
all i could find were people asking if anyone new what the problem was and a whole load of replies that suggested they serched for the answer. The problem being there isn't (as far as i can tell) an actual answer to this issue.
This was my issue.
I upgraded to the newest version of LVSW and i couldn't get WLM to sync, it kept on saying that there was a problem with the service or i have not got good enough reception. this was incorrect as could use IE without a problem.
Many people said that this was because the Beta had expired..which it of course had, so i tried all the new versions, stand alone that LVSW posted with his new ROM, Tried BE 2.0 with the built in version. all with the same result. NOTHING!!!
Now i have found the problem i had and i hope that it will help with others problems
I used to put in my GPRS settings manually, but i decided to download a .cab file with the T-Mobile UK settings. and this was the problem. it was adding a proxy to the connection.
To rectify the situation i deleted the connection and put it back manually with the Following Settings.
Connection Name : T-Mobile GPRS
Access Point: general.t-mobile.uk
User: user
Password: one2one
and nothing else. (these are the only setting T-mobile CS gave me)
I now have a working copy of the new Messenger (No contact duplication) on my Vario II.
I hope this rather long winded post will be of help to some of you on the forum.

Yes I found this also. I kept getting the Out of range error message.
However, it's fine to have a proxy on Orange UK and is actually required for the 3G connection. The problem I had was with Active Sync - it kept adding my corporate proxy server name to the GPRS settings. Removing them allowed WLM to connect first time!

Eh? Are you sure? Seems plenty of people on here using Orange without a proxy set....
Just wondering, as I had been having problems, but not now, and I do have a proxy set, but ONLY in the WAP connection, not Orange Internet connection. Hmmm....

There were problems with the first t-mob uk cab posted, but someone put up a fixed version later on that I use without issues. Look about half way through in the UK operator cabs thread.
T-mob apparently use a transparent proxy, so no settings required.

GPRS settings (or any other paid settings)

I want to change some settings of my Trinity (running WM6 on it)
I only want to use my network for calling, recieving/sending sms and recieving/sending mms. And not for internet by using GPRS or any other paid connections. What do I have to change in the settings?
The only way that I want to use internet is by ActiveSync, WiFi or bluetooth.
I have a dutch provider (Telfort, free roaming on KPN-network) I don't think that this is important but it can't harm to tell you
I also don't mind when you want to answer in dutch but english is oké to!

Go to Start, Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced, Select networks and check your settings.
If not possible, in worst case delete the settings for GPRS.
But what do I have to change there?

You won't need a data connection for voice calls and SMS but you will need one for MMS messages. Go to Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Connections/Tasks/Add a new modem connection. Name the connection anything you'd like or leave as My Connection, select Modem as GPRS, 3G, then all you need is to enter is the APN name which I believe for Telfort is: internet. Leave all other settings default. You will also need to enter the MMS settings for Telfort; let me know if you need help with that.
If you have existing settings you can also go to Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Connections/Tasks Tab/Manage existing connections and enter the correct APN.
I have entered the correct mms settings (at least, I entered the settings that are given on the telfort site for pda for WM5. But I guess it will work fine on WM6 to )
So the problem isn't that I don't know how te use my mms. But I want to be sure that it doesn't make any other data connection. For example a internet connection or any other data connection except sending/recieving mms.

MMS will use GPRS when sending or receiving, so it uses the same access point as if you were using Internet Explorer. If you are trying to not use any data it won't work. Internet Explorer or Email Account will also use GPRS unless you have an active Wi Fi session open. I'm not sure if Telfort allows MMS server access if you don't go through their APN, so using Wi Fi with MMS may not work. You'll have to give it a try.
Isn't it possible to say that only mms has the rights to use gprs. And to only block internet and e-mail from using gprs?

This may be possible by editing the registry. Maybe someone in this forum knows how to do this. I'll do some research and let you know if I find an answer.
Ok I hope that it is possible. Everytime when I use WiFi at this moment, I'm in complete fear No but I will be more relaxed using my phone to the max, knowing it won't cost me a thing

Tmoible 5.99 internet

Hey guys, I've been trying to set up the internet on my Hermes. Ive found settings on other websites, but so far none have worked. If anyone can post the settings that they have personnaly tried and know are working it would be geratly appreciated. I am in New Jersey if that makes any diffrence. Thanks so much
anyone have any ideas? 85 views, someone must know something. Please?
theres a cab file called internet connection setup that should do the trick, search the forum
Being temporarily in the US (In Virginia, but it makes no difference, as settings are identical for whole tmobile network) I use FlexPay offer with unlimited Internet and it works out-of-the box with Schaps built-in Network Wizard. (Of course it is silly, that tmobile has no 3G coverage at all, even in DC and NY)
My settings are APN: wap.voicestream.com, user name and password empty, no proxy.
However I'm not sure which is the offer for 6 USD you are talking about, but I'm nearly sure it's not the one I have and you need to set up additional proxy.
1. Can you post a link to the offer info on tmobile's website?
2. Please, always add country you are talkiing about, because tmobile is not only in the USA (it's not even US company - it's German) - if you can correct topic title, it would be helpful for others.
Given that your subject line is 5.99 Internet, I would guess you want the proxy settings to get T-zones to provide your internet.
The proxy is 216.155.165.50
HTTP port 8080
You have to set up an appropriate modem that uses the proxy. (under connections)
Here u go
Try internet2.voicestream.net or wap.voicestream.net
thanks so much for the help, so far ive been able to go to websites using internet explorer through the 5.99 Tzones full internet hack. I was wondering if its possible to log into agile messenger with this hack? and if not are there any other limitations. thanks again

My experience with this is that it's limited to startard http and https ports. Example: I tried to go to an https page that runs on a non-standard port and the proxy rejected it stating it wasn't a valid port. I really doubt that the messenger will work with T-Zones.
But really, try it and see if it works. It's not going to hurt anything to try. Or, you could try calling tmo's CS reps and see if they know anything about what the service will allow.
its working on my phone.
Tried everything (I think) on my Shadow, cant get it to work.
First was giving me a "couldnt connect" error, now says:
HTTP ERROR: $CODE$
$MESSAGES
Any Ideas?
I use whizzper as my chat client thru esmertec java, and it works fine on the T-zones $5.99 plan.

T-Mobile Web $5.99 on WM6.1 "Rickwatt"

Does anyone has unlimited access to Web, emails with T-Mobile Web $5.99 hacked working properly?
Please help, I can't access to Internet
Adavid
Timely question as I have been wrestling with the very same issue for the past 36 hours.
My phone also has the RW 6.1 ROM and I activated T-Zones a day and a half ago. I've followed the hack instructions on "dashapps" to the letter, booted and rebooted several times, yet no internet. I either get a "$MESSAGE$..." or "you cannot access.." message when I try to connect.
I read on another HTC (non-Excalibur) board that T-Mobile has closed this loophole: can anyone definitively verify? There's a member here -- JDOGG*** something that says he works for TMo, so maybe he knows for sure.
I hate to be the noob that asks the same question that's been answered a dozen times, but... I've scoured this board and followed all the hack instructions EXACTLY -- several times -- and still no luck, so I'm at a loss for solutions.
Any and all guidance is genuinely appreciated. Thank you.
i've had the $5.99 working for quite some time working with:
autosync/exchange
iris browser/pocket IE
IM+ (IM program)
VNC viewer
also, i'm using 6.1 & followed the dashapps hack w/ no issues. not sure what else to tell you guys.
Yes, the $5.99 proxy hack doesn't work in some regions (usually those with the highest data traffic.) For everyone else, it works perfectly, with the exception of a few apps that aren't proxy aware.
A related question which may help solve my issue:
Within "Connections" there are two GPRS choices: #5, "GPRS Settings" and #6, "GPRS". For "GPRS Settings" I have the option of authenticating using PAP or CHAP: which do I use?
Also, is there a preferred setting for "Disconnect GPRS When Dropped"? (Preferred in the sense that it may effect my ability to connect to the internet.)
Thanks again.

I called T-mobile Yesterday to do the setting and the Lady toll me that I have to get the $19.99 plan to get access with WM6.1, I'm pretty sure a few peoples of "T-mobile support" doesn't have a idea when you change OS doesn't come with the original phone.
If you can bring me the setting I appreciated.

My GPRS is set to PAP, but the other settings mentioned are the same. Here are my settings:
Under GPRS, I have three connections:
The first and third are labeled T-Mobile Data and T-Mobile WModem Link and are both setup the same:
Connects to: WAP Network
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
Other settings are blank, except for the DNS entries are all 0.0.0.0.
The second connection is labeled T-Mobile MMS:
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
Other settings are blank, except for the DNS entries are all 0.0.0.0.
Now onto the proxies...I have two setup:
Tzones Proxy:
Connects from: WAP Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Username and Password are both blank.
Tzones Proxy2:
Connects from: Work
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Username and Password are both blank.
I live in Ohio and it works all over the state and Michigan, if that matters at all.

let me get this straight...you put a cooked copy of 6.1 on your phone....you then call tmobile and tell them that your new unsupported cooked rom wont let you access the whole net on the 5.99 hack plan like the wm6 did.
you do realize that the whole concept of what we are doing here has totally escaped you.
Yah just follow the instructions below and you should be able to access it.

The reason you are getting the error is because AT&T (I'm assuming you have AT&T because you said it's a Tilt 2) locks the Internet Sharing program to use a different network than what the phone itself uses. They do that to make you purchase a very expensive plan to use internet sharing with a computer or other device. To get around this you will need to install a registry editor, find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings and delete the value "ForceCellConnection"
You should then be able to select a different network in the Internet Sharing program. Select MEdia Net (the network your phone uses). The other network is AT&T's ISP network which only works if you have the plan, which you won't need after this.
Or you can install the attached fix, which I'm not promising it will work because AT&T adds a strict installation security protocol.

How can I access the registry on the phone? Or, is it only on the computer? How can I get the phone to use a wifi? I'm trying to use in an area that wifi is only available on phones and not laptops. So, I'm trying to use my phone to connect to the internet with my laptop. But, I keep getting the same error "Error APN." Thanks.

It sounds like he's trying to connect to a mobile hotspot or something from his laptop.... wait.... no, maybe he's trying to connect through his laptop... hold on.... I give up, I have no idea what he's asking.
Thanks Master PDA Dude!
That *.cab did the trick. I had mod'ed my old ROM with the regedit, but the cab was even easier.
