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.

I am not on cingular, but used to be a while back. this is what you should have.
gprs
APN: wap.cingular

CONNECTS TO THE INTERNET
PROXY SET UP
connects from the INTERNET
to THE wap network
Wireless.cingular.com:80
make sure you deletet anyother proxy settings
in PIE tools/options/connections
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)
MMSC URL: http://mmsc.cingular.com
WAP Gateway: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Connect via: The Internet
Max Sending Size: 300k
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
Cheers

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
GPRS:

Proxy (name: port): 66.209.11.61:9201

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...

internet plans for tmobile users

hey guys, this question is for tmobile users. ive called tmobile, and nobody knows what theyre talking about. im trying to figure out the difference between the 5.99 tzones plan and the 29.99 total internet package. i guess i just wanna figure out what i can do with the 5.99 plan. thanks
ps. anybody hear when tmobile is gonna release the wm6 update? ive been hearing that wm6 is also gonna have office mobile, anybody hear this? thanks
omar

tmobile is in the process of locking down the 5.99 plan so depending on where you live the results may very. some are getting unlimite internet with NO plan whatsoever and others are getting full internet with the 5.99 plan but still no proxy.
its SUPPOSED to work like this: the 5.99 plan allows wap access to mobile wap sites, email and sms. The proxy currently allows http browsing and limited streams/downloads but this may be locked down at some time if they can ever figure out how to allow email and wap but not http. be aware that java apps like opera mini as well as msn messenger/mail will NOT work with the proxy.
there is an option to the total internet plan. you can sign up for the blackberry plan for 19.99 which gives unlimited access but does not include tmobile email or hotspots. you can however set up blackberry connect which i have no experience with but some here seem to like it.
go to howardforums.com for the best info on tmobile plans.
thanks, chris

they wont tell you the proxy. just order it and don't say that you have a smartphone. the 5.99$ plan is great. the settings are all over the internet.
they always want to argue with you that this is not for pocket pc and smartphone users. but who cares.

They shut me down and I called and complained. I was told that I would have to use their $29.99 plan for internet, and the Dash was incompatible with T-Zones ($5.99) internet plan. I told them when I bought the phone the salesman signed me up for T-Zones, and if the Dash didn't support it why was there a T-Zone button on the Dash? They turned me back on to the $5.99 plan. I get to every site I need to get to with T-Zones. If they try and shut you down complain, and tell them that the Dash has a dedicated T-Zone button on it right next to the camera and email button.

I'm using the same setup with my Treo 680. I just swap out my Dash's SIM card and put it in my Treo. I go to preferences>network>and select T-Zones and it connects. I can surf, and send email.

In the states, I had to upgrade to the $29.95 plan. It includes the $5.99 plan, plus gives me hotspots for use with my laptop when I travel. It's been worth it. And allows me to use the phone as an ISP modem as a last resort. I did need to add the proxy for T-Zones to work properly.

The problem is T-Mobile is turing off T-Zones on Dash owners, it has nothing to do with their wifi hot spot connections. They want to charge $29.99 to use their EDGE network unlimited. They can't get away with this because they put a T-Zone button on the Dash, therefore allowing Dash customers to get the $5.99 plan T-Zone plan. They turned me right back on when I told them that they have a T-Zone button on the phone, it's not my problem they've just decided that Dash customers should pay $29.99 for their slow EDGE network. That little pink t-zone button on the Dash is biting them in the @$$. They've got to honor the $5.99 price.

There's a lot of misinformation here... here's how it is:
The $5.99 T-Zones plan is very limited. You get weather updates, TMobile account info, movie showtimes, news headlines and a few other similar offerings. You don't get email, or unlimited browsing. Very basic and only works with the WAP browser on the Dash, not IE.
For quite some time, if you had T-Zones, you could set up IE with the T-Zones proxy info and get unlimited browsing without upgrading your plan. I could also access my Exchange email using the email application on my phone. It was great when it worked for me, but at some point it stopped -- I called customer support and the guy explained that it wasn't supposed to work this way and they were in the process of upgrading their systems to enforce the T-Zones level of service, and that I had to upgrade to the Total Internet package. Some users are still able to utilize the T-Zones proxy settings for this, but eventually it won't be possible for anyone.
The Total Access is over-priced. You have to subscribe to the HotSpot service to get Internet access, priced separately but only available as a bundle. I don't like it as I never use the HotSpot (Starbucks/FedEx/Kinkos WiFi) service but have to pay for it to get internet. That is until recently -- a user posted that if you go to your settings at the TMobile web site, change your phone type to a Blackberry, and then add the Internet plan priced at $20. I did this and it works, without any proxy settings, but as with the TZones thing, who knows for how long.

thats crap dude. they just tell this to you. don't tell them that you have the dash. just order t-zones and configure it manually. after that everything http based works great. socket transfers are blocked. thats right. but who cares...

I purchased my Dash last month and my salesman told me I only needed the Blackberry plan (19.99/mo) for unlimited Internet access (the 29.99 total access plan was needed for push e-mail only). I did have an opportunity to talk with Tmo customer support and they, as my salesman warned, told me I had the wrong plan, that my phone was not compatible with the Blackberry service but when I was firm about not needing their total-access package I was left alone. I think the cost of the package they push depends on the cost and capabilities of the phone your purchased, not what is actually needed for Internet access.

Totally agree, I get every web page I need and all my email using the T-Zone plan. They're just trying to get more $$ out of us. It works, just configure it and you're good to go.

Um... sorry 'dude', it's the way it is. If it's working for you, great, it won't forever.

Did the guy tell you it wouldn't work with push email? It works fine for me with the blackberry plan.

I did previsously have it configured with TZones (read the post) and it worked -- then it stopped and can no longer be configured with the TZones proxy settings.

you need to call T-Mobile, I bet they shut you down. They did the same thing to me. They gave me BS that their servers did updates and found Dash owners were getting internet, and they shouldn't be. They said they had to turn it off. I said that I was sold a Dash with T-ZONE and it worked fine up until that point, there's a reason why there's a T-Zone button on the Dash. They probably turned u off, tell them to turn you back on.

This happended before I got my Dash, I had the SDA at the time. They actually offer TZones with the Dash, it works with the WAP browser (the one that comes up when you push the TZones button) but not IE.

OK! I am sorry to say to you that this is incorrect
I JUST yesterday flashed to kavana rom...I had to play with the internet settings for awhile...but ALL my JAVA apps do work (btw I LOVE Opera Mini, I'm new to it) Gmail APP works...pocket IE works, EMAIL works (which was the *****y one to get working for me) everything internet related works...I can download files and the whole shabang...and I am on the $5.99 plan
here is a tutorial of how to get your internet working (I did this tutorial step-by-step and I can confirm it works 100%)
Using the web with just the $5.99 plan
Credit for the below information goes to the members of Howardforums.com
Unlimited internet with the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service
The $29.99/month T-Mobile Total Internet package is not required to have unlimited internet access on the Dash, instead the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service is all you need. Note the following limitations to the T-MobileWeb internet service:
1. The internet applications on your device will need to have an option to specify a connection to a proxy server, if it doesn't have this option then the application most likely will not be able to access the internet.
2. The following applications will not work over T-MobileWeb: MSN Messenger, Agile Messenger (without the proxy option), some streaming media, Hotmail, Pocket MSN, and Java applications.
To setup the internet connection over T-MobileWeb follow these instructions:
1. Add the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service to your current voice plan (it may take up to 72 hours to activate, but typically takes less than 24 hours).
2. Follow the below instructions to setup the Dash:
1. Add the T-MobileWeb (T-Zones) Proxy Connection
Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> Proxy -> Menu -> Add
Description: T-Zones Proxy
Connects from: Wap Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy (name : port): 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
User name: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Press Done.
2. Configure the Existing Data Connection
Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> GPRS -> T-Mobile Data -> Menu -> Edit
Connects to: WAP Network
Access point: wap.voicestream.com
User name: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
IP address: <blank>
Press Done.
3. Configure Pocket Internet Explorer
Start Menu -> Internet Explorer -> Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Connections
Uncheck "Automatically detect settings".
Select Network: The Internet (Must be set to "The Internet" to work over WiFi. Try "WAP Network" if you're having trouble over the EDGE/GPRS connection)
Press Done.
4. Configure Messaging (follow these steps for POP or IMAP email accounts that have been manually setup)
Start Menu -> Messaging -> Highlight your email account -> Menu -> Settings -> Press Next twice
Select Network: WAP Network
Press Next three times then Finish.
The following applies to email on WM6:
In Settings/Connections/GPRS/T-Mobile Data: Tmobile Data
Connects to: Wap Network
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
AND add another GPRS option:
T-Mobile Data2
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
Then create TWO Proxies:
Settings/Connections/Proxy
First Proxy:
Name:Tzones Proxy
Connects from: WAP Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Second Proxy:
Name Tzones Proxy2
Connects from: Work
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
In connections, click menu, then advance and set ALL connections to AUTOMATIC
To get the Exchange Server working:
(Exchange Server settings)
Options/Advanced
Connection: Internet
To get Pop mail accounts working:
(This will need to be done for each account you have)
Options/Account settings/Advanced Server Settings
Network Connection: Work
NOTE! The option to select which way to connect isnt available until you finish creating the POP account (go back in and change to: Work)
To get IE working:
(In IE)Menu/Tools/Options/Connections
Check "Automatically Detect Settings"
Select Network: WAP Network

Thanks for posting those settings. Since upgrading my Dash to Windows Mobile 6.1 I could no longer use the internet using the T-Zones plan (I could send and receive email only). With the above settings I can use the internet and email, thanks again for posting these!!

FYI there is no need for the $29.99 plan. I have a $19.99 unlimited internet plan that allows me to do everything, and INCLUDES hotspot access. Maybe they just messed up on mine, but I have no problems with it, unlimited internet and push email (but not through tmobile email servers -- i have my own).

All you guys need is the total internet add-on for 19.99 and just set up the vpn or run the automatic wizard setting for tmobile.

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)

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.

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

isp.cingular is a valid setting dude.

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.

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.

Have you tried configuring the GPRS settings? If not, go to the "T-Mobile Wireless Configurations" link in my signature. Follow the directions to setup the MMS and Internet. This is the solution 99.79% of the time.

Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You.... I Love This Forum So Much... Wish I Could Contribute... Maybe When I Get My Next Paycheck Ill Donate, Or Just Posting Freeware Stuff... But Again, I Thank You

If I'm not mistaken, that's for the exchange servers over a corporate network--like the server for your job.

I think those are the same settings (T-Mobile Data; T-Mobile WEB). I remember a while back that mine used to be called T-Mobile Data as well (due to someone's suggestion for that particular setting).
Long story short--they should be one in the same.

but how can they be the same if they both run on two different voice servers? the web runs on (Internet2.voicestream.com) and the data runs on (Wap.voicestream.com) two different servers cant be for the same thing can they?

LOL That looks like the directions I followed when I first configured my settings. Afterwards, I used the T-Mobile page and they named it "T-Mobile WEB".
RussianSolja:
To answer your question above--I don't know why the two on your phone are slightly different. Perhaps you could "finagle" with your settings and leave the T-Mobile Data and add the T-Mobile MMS setting. If your phone functions fine after that, don't worry about adding the T-Mobile WEB settings.

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.
adavid

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
