WM6 Black 3.0.1 advice please

Hi All,
Wow, Been a while since i had to post on here for help.
OK, before you all start flaming, Yes i have searched for a few days, inc. google and the WM6 Black forum 4winblack to no avail,
Everyone asking but no one answering and just flaming (hence no one can find the answer when searching and leaving them no choice but having to ask)
ME.
Member on here since 2005 ( so no noob, I always search and find )
have a MDA vario II HERM 300
Running Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition 3.0.1
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.10.OLipro
Radio ver. 1.41.00.10
T-mobile UK W+W
OK the burning question that has me stumped.
and i am cringing cause i dont want you to flame throw me.
Windows Live issue
Unable to establish an internet connection. Can this be fixed and How?
I have re installed WM VI black Live & messenger cab but still same issue.
Messenger Sign in as issue
How do i get to sign in there is no where to sign in
just a blank pick and the option to go online.
Are these issues fixed and are they just relevent to WM6 Black or all packages, am tempted to downgrade or switch roms in hope.
Finally as last resort will posket msn work on WM6
Again sorry for asking but i do truly search, it a shame when you do get new users using such a great forum and they get flamed, Remember if everyone is treated in this way, how can anyone search and find the answer.
I have opened countless posts on the subject only to find the person asking flamed and no answer given. This makes it near inpossible to find the correct answer.
Didn't come on to moan LOL. Have a good un all,

Can't help on your other issues as I don't use Messenger or MSN, but I have no trouble with Windows Live with this rom. Connects with no problems.

You need to reenter your 3G modem settings in your connections so that it knows how to connect to the network. wap.cingular and then your 7 digit phone number is hte password.

hmm.. I have seen these issues before in other posts and enouctered some myself. Pimpmyblack has a tab which will allow you to have your gprs/media net on all the time (assuming you have unlimited plan). From my experience there is a bug with live, it doesnt like to establish gprs conn if it is not alread on. I have noticed this with piscel browser too. As much as I hate doing it, my non-hack work around is to open pie and connect to google. this establishes connection w/ gprs. its not ideal, but I have exhaustedly serached for a fix to this too with no avail. hopefully that can hold u over until the geniuses figure somethin out.

Yeah it maybe something with WM6 i think and the way it allows programs to hook up to the internet. For example everytime i use my opera mini i have to first open up explorer to establish an internet connection and then i can start using opera mini. So that maybe what is required for you to do. But i would highly recommend you to just switch over to one of the newer roms that have been cooked. I was on black 3.0.1 and just had to many problems with bluetooth and connections to the internet. So i strongly recommend that buddy.

thanks for the suggestions, glad others have herd of the problem but unable to find fix.
yes. I have tried pimp my black and changed settings to internet always on.
also tried with internet connection open and then trying windows live and messenger but both problems still exist.
shame as accessing my hotmail accounts instantly is a must.
looks like will have to try your suggestion of another ron.
recommendations ?
thanks

Well it looks like This was one good thread. started good and ended good. So lets lock it up if its cool with you guys.

agree, thanks to everyone.
to sum up.
I could not find a fix to the issues I had :-{
I eventually took the advice and changed roms.
now running Custels 2.5 and everything. I mean everything is working fantastic. plus the bonus of office 2007 and live is running great.
I can only suggest black is a little buggy for myself but hey im happy with Custels 2.5
thanks to all again.
try not and leave it another 2 years before I post again lol.

A noob question from someone who's not been around since Blue Angel days!

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

AT&T MediaNet Download Problem with any non-official rom

Question for the forum... I have tried purchasing and downloading different applications from at&t's medianet site from my hermes. I've tried just about any new rom that comes my way, but for whatever reason I can't download anything from medianet. My quess is my browser shows that I don't have a standard at&t device. My question is; has anyone else had this problem and how do I solve it?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

probably need to have the proxy turned on... search XDA for: bear at&t proxy

This is the best solution I have come up with so far. The best way is to uninstall your current MMS software and reinstall this in its place or just install it over the top and it will usually work. I have spent hours changing configurations and such and never had a good and fast solution until I found this cab. Now I get MMS as fast as SMS and never have any issues at all. I am using MRH ROMs and it works great.
Arc Soft MMSC for AT&T on Filedropper.com

thanks guys. Still no luck.
I can't find "bear at&t proxy" anywhere. I've tried removing keywords and everything, just can't seem to find any useful reference to what you're referring to. Any additional assistance is greatly appreciated.

I didn't feel like searching for it, so I just attached it here.
It puts 2 cabs in programs... proxy on and proxy off.
and I'm attaching the Cingular/AT&T settings, JIC yours are screwed up

Did you try my cab? http://www.filedropper.com/arcsoftmmscatt I was in the same boat and that was the only solution I found and it was the easiest.

MediaNet Downloads
Your connection should be set to "Media Net" instead of "My ISP." However, I've never been able to purchase & download anything on the MediaNet site, using either the original WM5 or the HTC WM6 upgrade. I get error messages that there are no apps compatible with my device.

Excalibur (Dash) MMS on AT&T

I have been through all the wiki as well as other site recommendations on MMS settings that would allow a Dash to send/receive MMS on AT&T. I have a Kaiser on the account and have used its settings as a guide also. All efforts so far have not worked. Texting works fine. There's one MMSC setting called "contact via" where the options are in a prepopulated "drop down" menu. The comparable setting in my Kaiser at this spot is set to MEdia Net. Of course this is not available in a fixed menu T-Mobile device. I have tried all available settings in that menu...nothing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

search using "att data" i set some tags last week on a thread that explained everything about this.

Thank you
Thanks phatmanxxl,
With your suggestion I found a configuration I had not seen before. I've now sent mms in both directions and it seems to be fine.
Thanks again!!

I have an unlocked Excalibur from Orange I am usinon TMobile and am having the same problem getting MMS working on my phone.
Hoping I can find a solution as well, as nothing tried so far has worked.

Not to sound like a broken record but always check the Wiki I think you'll find the t-Mobile setting there.

Yes, the settings are in the wiki.
However, after inputing them and checking them a dozen times it's still not working.

[Q] T mobile mms islocked

Hi all I've been a member here since my first HTC8525 and all of you have helped me tremendously. But today I believe I need to ask for help. I just recently purchased a T-mobile HTC Touchpro 2 and brought it back to Canada to run on the Rogers network. I have unlocked the phone and set up everything fine. My only problem is that I cannot change the MMS setting in the phone Tmob has locked them out. Could anyone point me in the right direction. I have searched the threads and to no avail. Any help at all is greatly appricated. Sorry if i am repeating earlier threads.

same issue here, im trying to change the setting on my tp2 but it is locked for changes, i cant even add a new setting.
i did the changes when i had my tilt 2 but here i can't any help please.
thanks in advance

sorry for posting it when the answer was already there. but anyway you can change some of the settings via registry.
hkey local machine/software/arcsoft mms ua/config/
hope it's helpfull

then what
what other steps do you take after that?

Unlocking the device via Hard SPL to accept other ROMs will allow you to flash any of a ton of ROMs for this device that allow editing of MMS settings. Most custom ROMs are faster, lighter, and generally prettier than the stock one. Otherwise, as I recall, you'll need the IP address from the cell network to change the MMS gateway in the registry. Good luck getting that from a carrier.
