Cingular MEdiaNet Proxy

Somehow I can't get the MEdiaNet Proxy to work properly. I've configured my internet settings to what is widely available information.
_______________________________________
When I have IE configured as follows:
IE > Tools > Options > Connections > Select Network: WAP Network
I can't access the MEdiaNet homepage nor any other site on the web. Instead I get a return error that says: "The Requested Page can not be displayed."
_______________________________________
When I have IE configured as follows:
IE > Tools > Options > Connections > Select Network: The Internet
I can get access to the web (which is more important at this point) but still not the MEdiaNet homepage.
_______________________________________
The puzzling thing for me is that I didn't have this problem when I was under the unlocked T-Mobile ROM. Any help or insight is much appreciated.

make sure you deletet anyother proxy settings

choose wap network, try again auto detect on/off not sure.
that should work.

Yup. Those are my exact settings. I've checked it 100 times and still can't figure it out. Again, "THE INTERNET" works but the "WAP NETWORK" does not.
Something happened when I migrated to the HTC based rom. I'm wondering if there's a registry value that changes the way proxies are handled within wm5.

I had the same problem. Someone on howardforums.com told me to use 66.209.11.61:9201 as the proxy and to switch the proxy type from HTTP to WAP.
Worked like a champ (not sure why the normal settings don't work though).
Now if I could only get MMS to work...

Thanks for the tip! It works perfectly.
Just tested out my MMS settings to be sure that it was working. It is indeed working both for sending and receiving. Settings are as follows:
Go to messaging > MMS > Menu > Options > Account Settings > Menu > MMSC Settings
Create a new item:
Name: Cingular MMS (But you can call it anything you want)

What most likely will break is if you use wifi or your AS connection. It seems the settings are backwards on this device. And if you get that working, it will alwasy try to use a gprs connection even when a wifi or as connection is available.
Kind of sucks!

Proxy while using WiFi
Because Cingular uses a proxy setting you will not be able to use the WiFi as stated in the post above. You really do not need the proxy settings in to access the internet. I have had many devices with WiFi and have disabled the proxy on all of them and have been able to access full internet. With the proxy set you will only be able to get to "pda" or tiny screen sites. Try it out and let me know if it works. I have been thinking of getting either the HTC version or the Samsung Blackjack. I would rather have this one becuase I would prefer the WiFi over the 3G.
What are you thoughts?

Cingular MEdia Net
Wow...there is a GOD.
I made it a goal to get MEdia Net working on my phone, afterall, I am paying $20 a month for it. Like other users, I could get to any website, but not MEdia Net. This also happened after I upgraded the ROM (to remove the T-Mobile branding). I tried all suggested settings for IE, GPRS, and Proxy all from the various forums - xda, hofo, Cingular FAQ, called Cingular tech support. Nothing was working. Tonight I was farting around and stumbled upon this thread. I tried the Proxy settings above, and still nothing. I made several other changes and here is what I have now...
IE: tools/options/connections
Unchecked - Automatically Detect Settings
"Select Network" - Work

I know just like everyone else that MEdia Net itself does not have much to offer, but it was pi$$ing me off that it was not working. Now that I have it working though, I understand that there is a newer version of MEdia Net out or something?

when i had the cingular 2.06 rom my mms limit was 600k. Since upgrading to XDAlive and having to manually enter the media net and mms setting i'm limited to 300k. did anyone else notice this

Check the Wiki for the registry tweak to add 600k MMS. Involves changing one value and making one more.
I forgot the exact details (location of keys/values) off the top of my head but it involved changing SendDataLimit to 4 (or next number higher) and making SendData4 value = 614400 D_WORD(decimal)
Thats off memory...so double check the wiki.

Interesting here as too (have AT&T Wirless) and both MEdianet and Cellular Video were (apparently) removed with a cooked WM6.1 ROM...
Not really a biggie, but I wanted a 'morale victory'...to get both pages (URLs) to work with Mobile IE (without having to tweak/modify any connection settings..
Cellular video is: http://cingularvideo.cingular.com
Alternative MEdianet is http://infospace.com/infow.sbcw/
Because a I recently received a AT&T MEdianet email advising me of a lot of customization changes...and wanted to see what was up...
Both pages report: We are temporarily experiencing technical difficulites

NO MORE FREE Internet with T-Mobile WM6 Upgrade

I have installed the Beta when it was leaked out and installed the final release when it was leaked out and my internet worked with all of them. This morning however, the day T-Mobile officially released the upgrade, I noticed my internet and e-mail stopped working. I added the T-MobileWeb for $5.99 package to my plan a few months back when T-Mobile shut down free internet access in my area (Dallas, TX) and that allowed me unlimited internet access without having to pay for the T-Mobile Total Internet Add-on for $29.99.
I have tried every thing I can think of to troubleshoot the phone except for restoring back to factory settings. Is anyone else having the same issue as me? Maybe T-Mobile figured out that people are getting unlimited internet access on their phones with the T-MobileWeb package (which is only suppose to let you use T-Zones to access premium content, not use IE) and are now blocking it?
Any input would be great!

I had the same issue this morning with trying to access the Internet using my Hermes (the only reason I'm even viewing this forum is because I used to own a Dash). I am running LVWS WM6 upgrade and went back to default settings but stayed on WM6. I was also on the $5.99 plan. I upgraded to the $29.99 plan and after 1 hour of waiting, got access to the Internet and my work's Direct Push system. Looks like T-Mobile is really going after the free users.
Murad

I too have the Dash with the Official WM6 ROM installed. This morning there was no data connection. Have been using "The Internet" under Settings>Connections>GPRS>T-Mobile Data.
I still had the T-Zones proxy in there, so I changed the above setting to "WAP Network" and I can get Exchange mail, and IE, but NOT Pop mail accounts. (Remember, the Pop client itself does not allow for a "WAP Network" setting in the WM6 Official release).
Two out of three is not bad, but not a full solution.
Maybe if this persists, I'll have to revert to the WM6 Beta version, as that software had the WAP option in the Pop setup.
Anyone have any ideas?

But what I dont understand is why did it stop working today? I have been using the leaked final release for over 2 weeks and never had a problem, and now it doesnt seems to work.
I remember a while back I read a post (maybe on this site, dont remember) that talked about settings up a Proxy on the phone so that you could get internet access with the T-MobileWeb package, but I can't find that information anymore.
The last time ActiveSynch talked with the Exchange server was @ 1:59 AM this morning (5/9/2007)

In addition to above these need to be set:

1. With these setting you can switch automatically from GPRS to WIFI seamlessly.

These setting will allow virtually everything to work with the $4.99/5.99 T-Mobile Web Plan. Using alternate setting can work for somethings but not all.

Yeah, just use the proxy and all is well.
Everytime TMob does this, people freak out.

I looked closer at my settings. I had actually set my Dash up exactly as you listed.
This has changed:
"In addition to above these need to be set:
Start/Connections/Menu/Advanced
All should be set to Automatic"
These WERE set to automatic, by myself before today. I have always set these to Autmatic since my MPx200. I just looked at them and now I have:
Internet Connection: T-Mobile Data
Work Connection: Automatic
WAP Connection: T-Mobile MMS
Secure WAP Connection: Automatic
Changed them back, and Voila!! Everything works except my Pop mail.
Looks like T-Mobile pinged us with a change?????? Hopefully they wont do it again......
Thanks for the fix, qwikndrty.
UPDATE: Just tried changing T-Mobile Data to "The Internet" again. 4:00pm Local time. ALL WORKS AGAIN. Dallas TX area. Who knows?!!!!

My settings under Start/Connections/Menu/Advanced were changed from Automatic too.
I just applied all of the settings above and still nothing :-( I'm going to call T-Mobile and say T-Zones doesnt work (even though it does) and everytime they do something to try and fix it I am just going to say it still isnt working. Maybe the guy will get tired of not being able to fix it and just change something to allow me to have internet access.

UPDATE: Just tried changing T-Mobile Data to "The Internet" again. ALL WORKS AGAIN. 4:00pm Local time. Dallas TX area. Who knows?!!!!
Is there a setting to stop T-Mobile changing things?

Wasnt there another address besides wap.voicestream.com that used to be be used? like wap.tmobileweb.com or something like that? I used to have an MDA and I remember there being a second address for one of the connections.

Anyone know how to log into Windows Live? Internet Explorer works fine tho.

wap.t-zones.com if it redirects you to t-mobilefavorites.co.uk, then its the uk site.

Anyone in Dallas, TX using a WM6 Dash with the $5.99 T-MobilWeb service on their account have internet access right now?
I have the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service on my plan (instead of paying for the $29.99 Unlimited Internet) and cannot access the internet anymore. Anyone else able to access it right now with the same setup as me?

No More Internet Via Tzones without proxy
I have the Tzones 5.99. And I too lost internet about 1:00 a.m., I am in Sacramento Cal. I had to use the proxy 216.155.165.50:8080 for Internet but no more Live Mail
Hermes WM6 Black 3.01

Mine went out this morning and I still can't get it back!! Cant use it with the proxy either!!!!

you guys make it sound like its the rom thats preventing internet from working...
truth of the matter is that tmobile has been upgrading and securing their network in the usa piece by piece to prevent data abuse...
with 3g coming out on their network soon, they're making a much better effort of giving proper privileges according to the plan a customer subscribes to...
no more free lunch...it's sad but true...check out howardforums and you'll see many discussions about this

My first post and just wanted to say thanks. I bought my Dash over a week ago and have been getting free internet. Sometime yesterday they shut it down so I ordered the $5.99 package. I got a text message confirmation from them this morning that the new package was activated so I entered all the information above and I am now back up and running

Right now I can either get the internet and mail2web to work or I can have my pop mail work. If I use the proxy, internet/mail2web work w/o proxy I can get pop mail.
Pretty bizarre

Then all you have to do is set up a second GPRS setting:
T-Mobile Data2
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
AND then, make one change with EACH Pop e-mail account:
Open your e-mail account, then Menu\Tools\Options\Account Settings\Next\Next\Next\Next\Advanced Server Settings\Network Connection
Change to: "Work"
This way you do not have to keep switching GPRS settings back and forth.

IE Speed with 3.0.1

First post and I did search to see if anyone reported this and did not find any posts. I updated to Black 2.5 from OEM rom and noticed that when I did repeated measurements of netspeed using DSL Reports Speed Test (Mobile) I was getting a consistant 800-900 Kbit/sec. After upgrade it appears to be about 300-500 Kbit/Sec. I stream using ORB (TV, Video's & Mp3's). A lot more buffering with 3.0.1. I have tried setting Temp internet to Main memory and SD card with no difference noted. I am using Wap.ingular AP. Any thoughts on why 3.0.1 appears to be slower. I did not change the Radio rom 1.16.00.00
I also do not see any speed difference between 2.5 and 3.0.1, but a bug difference from ther OEM rom.
Thanks. BTW sent $ to JasJamming for his awsome ROM.

First, Welcome to XDA-Dev
Remember to read the wiki before posting new threads because chances are the problem you are having has already been discussed several times.
Your network speed is due to several factors which include network traffic. What time of day were you doing your tests? Generally with these roms its best to go with the upgraded radio that actually may help.

I ran over 50 tests on both roms over several days. I guess that it may be a coincidence that on the days I was ruining 2.5 it was less congested and over the last 2 days it was more, but the difference was dramatic. You suggested I upgrade the radio. Do you have a recomendation?
Since the Core modules of wm6 were updated between 2.5 and 3.0 I was just wondering if other had similar results or is it just me (Wife says it just me)

Use isp.cingular instead to bypass the proxy.

Do you have HSDPA enabled? I think it's enabled by default on Black 3 but I can't remember for sure. I haven't done speed tests, so I don't know if that could be the problem or not.

isp.cingular
i tried doing this, and it won't even connect anymore here are my settings

It woprks fine. Anyone else notice this? Am I missing something here?

i used to use these setting, but on the wap.cingular setting i would set my proxy to wireless.cingular.com. That looks right and you should be able to connect with those settings. Personally I just use the cab provided here and under select network I use medianet connection.
It would be nice to get some feedback if it is any faster or slower than isp.cingular. I believe it is the same speed. I use the medianet connection(wap.cingular) because it enables me to do cingular video.
In addition, I use opera browser 8.65 and in my opinion its faster than PIE.
Thanks goes out to wpbear for the cab

your AP : "isp.cingular" should be "wap.cingular"
Everything else is fine unless you want to put in MEdia Net.
AP : wap.cingular
UN : [email protected]
PW : CINGULAR1
Then you would want to set your Proxy up,
Check : The network connects to the internet
Advanced : Click "HTTP" and put in "wireless.cingular.com" Port "80" Click OK
Click "Socks" and put in "localhost" Port "1080" Click OK to get out and should be set up.
Make sure that both your "isp.cingular" and "wap.cingular" have a check mark on the proxy that says ; "The network connects to the internet"
between those 3 settings you should get you connected. I use ISP

It is for GSM Dial up. what plan do you have? Cingular has very confusing data plans. Be careful, these servers should not be interchangeable, it should depend on your plan. You may get charged per byte if you are not on the unlimited plan. So, make sure you're setting the right server.

Check it out from the cingy web how to set up your 8525. don't believe, check it out.

No one answered me in the LVSW thread, but I was having strance IE problems with isp.cingular on that ROM. Low and behold I switched to black 3.01 and still had it (previious settings worked fine in Black 2.0)
Then I solved it... To fix the problem use the most recent settings in the cingular cab file at the beginning of this thread. then change the settings to isp.cingular.
Looks like there is some problem with DNS in these newest ROMs with PIE. If you look closely, the cab in this thread hard codes the DNS. Wala, then it works.
With old cabs or if you try to do the setting yourself you won't be able to connect with PIE but you will with Opera and other internet apps such as live. Setting the DNS yourself should also work, but there is an easy cab to do it so why bother.

I have the cab setup. I noticed he put in a server address. I set up MEdia Net and another ISP setting according to my plan and my ISP setting works the best. With the server address put in it stahls a little then connects as MEdia Net just is slower. You cannot connect WI-Fi with Media Net on...at least not for me

Because MEdia Net has a proxy set. You'll have the same problem when trying to browse via ActiveSync unless you change to My ISP. Or the proxy disable/restore stuff that's part the latest cingy WM5 and also adapted by CUSTEL to WM6 works quite well and precludes the need to change networks in order to bypass the proxy.
I'll also note that isp.cingular is only valid for PDA connect plans... if you have a MEdia Net plan you must use wap.cingular

Yep, I think this is the problem that a lot of people are blaming on the ROM. Maybe JJ should just come out with a Cingy also.

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.

I'm using T-mobile t-zones on my hermes as well and the only IM client I have gotten to work is palringo. Once installed check out this link to see hack the registry to work with a proxy.

As far as I know, this will not work if you only have the $5.99 plan. Here's what I understood to work:
$5.99 T-mobileweb: wap.voicestream.com
$19.99 Total Internet: internet2.voicestream.com or wap.voicestream.com
$29.00 Total Internet with VPN: internet3.voicestream.com or the other 2

Your Correct...
BTW, there are tmobile usa cabs for each of these plans (instead of doing it manually): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395203

I created a application to help set this up. Here is the thread when I posted it.
Hope it helps.

The Network Wizard included in WM6 does all this for you.
That is if you are subscribed to the proper plan anyways.

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.

Just double checked my settings for you. I have it listed as CHAP, Hold Connection and checked GPRS Auto Attach. GPRS Auto Detach is not checked. Hope that helps, in St. Paul the settings work just fine.

hello can anybody confirm if they're in Miami, FL. and this hack works,
thanks in advance

i live in ft. lauderdale pretty close to miami and it works fine.

$5.99 Setting for WM6.1.....URGENT
ralph1o1 cal you write it down your phone set up?
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.
By the way..I went back to WM6 to try and I had access to T-Zones thru "winwap" but I didn't have the $5.99 plan to try it.

I Love Wm6.1 And I Don't Want Go Back.............
Please Help To Set Up Internet With $5.99 Plan
:d

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 us know if these settings work for you.

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.

Thanks guyz....
Thanks to you gauyz....jdoggraz and unasari1
