wm 6.1 and the uk - HTC Excalibur

ive lost a weekend messing around with these different roms and although they look and run realy nice, untill one of you genius's make a rom for the tmobile mda mail im going to have to go back to my [email protected] tmobile 6.0 rom.
issues with email trying to use wifi, when these phones have no wifi!
issues with keypad mapping
and even after messing with settings and trying various cab files still no mms working.
there must be a uk guru out there??

Which ROMS have you tried?
I do not think I am understanding what you are saying. The T-mobile Dash/Excalibur has wifi, and wifi works in all of the ROMS i have tried including the stock t-mobile one.
You may have to configure some options in regard to internet/data and mms. Have you done any configuration under the Settings -> Connections -> GPRS menu? Each time you flash your phone, you have to reconfigure these settings.
Anyhow, I am not sure what you mean by the "tmobile mda mail." If this is a completely different device then the T-mobile Dash/Excalibur, then you have posted in the wrong forum; and I am surprised any of the ROMs on this forum even installed in the first place!

ive tried kavana 080307 and 080308.
tmobile mda mail has NO wifi! its like the dash in every way except this. tmobile uk must be tight wads.
subsequently email tries with gprs for a few seconds then goes to try wifi (get double arrow symbol in top right) then unsupprisingly no email.
i have configured gprs and internet explorer works (quite well infact).

http://www.manuals.t-mobile.co.uk/manual.asp?manualid=1866

That is bizzare. Is it possible to cook a ROM without wifi drivers? Sombody in the 6.1 thread said that they got their wing to work with it, perhaps they just dont use it for e-mail then. Do any of the other roms work with email? It would be a shame to have to downgrade to the stock tmobile ROM.

tell me about it, i can live without mms but not without email

If you need help installing, just give me a shout It can be a real pain for the first time without the nice wizard that comes with the new 6.1 ROMs.

Got settings for T-mobile UK anyone fancy making a cab?

Got my new Vario2 (Hermes yesterday) Straight backonto the forum after a long departure and instantly started playing with Mobile6 thanks to all the fantastic programmers on here. Only issue was having to reload al the gprs and mms data each time. After a long search on the tmobile site I found the following instructions for the UK network.
If anyone with the know how wishes to make a cab that can be installed easily each time I re-flash that would be highly appreciated and I'm sure some others will find it of use too.
Thank you in advance to any takers

enable auto config... under settings connection / advanced network...
mine works without any extra settings...
but i'm sure gprs /3g settings are on optus' mobile homepage
Hi
I experienced a similar problem with my Diamond I purchased on the weekend. It was a Telstra NextG model that was supposedly unlocked and able to work on all networks.
It worked with my Optus SIM as a phone but I couldn't get any Internet connectivity.
I ended up flashing it to a cooked ROM which auto-detected the Optus SIM on first boot and configured itself automatically. Internet is now working without problem.
FYI I'm now using "Dia Druitt v05" ROM and am very happy with it. Original ROM version was 1.38.
Battery life is not great but I have just changed the radio from .06 to .bs14 and will see if that makes any difference.
Cheers
Loki

HI Loki
Can you explain how you did this by Dia Druitt v05 ROM...I have the same problem...I can call and SMS but now internet activity / MMS...dont know what to change on the phone...thanks for your help
You should be able to download the optus/vodafone rom from HTC using the Telstra Next G diamond serial without any issues.
Otherwise, here are the steps to manually input them:
For Internet:
1. Tap on the Start button.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. Tap on Connections.
4. Tap on the Connections Icon.
5. Tap on Add a new modem connection under My Work Network.
6. Enter Optus WEB in the Enter a name for the connection field.
7. Select Cellular Line (GPRS) in the drop down list of Select a modem.
8. Tap Next.
9. Enter internet in the Access point name field.
10. Tap Next.
11. Enter in the User name field or otherwise leave it blank.
12. Enter in the Password field or otherwise leave it blank.
13. Tap Advanced.
14. Select Use server-assigned IP address.
15. Tap OK.
16. Tap Finish.
for some pdas it is compulsary to set proxy for internet connetion if so in step 9 instead of "internet" put "wap.optus.net.au" and for proxy setting put "202.139.83.152" and port "8070".
For MMS:
1. Tap on the Start button.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. Tap on Connections.
4. Tap on the Connections icon.
5. Under My ISP, tap on Add a new modem connection.
6. Enter Optus MMS in the Enter a name for the connection field.
7. Select Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) in the drop down list of Select a modem.
8. Tap on Next.
9. Enter mms in the Access point name field. Tap on Next.
10. Enter in the User name field.
11. Enter in the Password field.
12. Tap Advanced.
13. Select Use server-assigned IP address. Tap OK.
14. Tap Finish.
15. Tap OK.
16. Tap on Settings.
17. Tap on Messaging.
18. Tap on Menu which is located at the bottom right corner.
19. Tap on MMS Configuration.
20. Under Servers, tap on New.
21. Enter Optus MMS in the Server name field.
22. Enter 61.88.190.10 in the Gateway field.
23. Enter 9201 or Permanent, non-secure in the Port number field.
24. Enter http://mmsc.optus.com.au:8002 in the Server Address field.
25. Select My ISP in the Connect via drop down selection.
26. Select WAP 2.0 in the WAP Version drop down selection.
27. Tap on OK.
28. Tap on Set As Default.
29. Tap OK.
If setting above doesnt work change the port address on step 23 to "8070" then try again.
PS. I just did a search on google for "Optus MMS settings" and copied and paste those instructions.
Optus Rom Update
I've got the same problem. My Touch Diamond is from Telstra, but I'm with Optus. I can send/recieve sms, but not mms.
Can someone post up the latest rom for Optus users? I can'd download it from the HTC website as the serial number on the phone will only download the Telstra one.
Hey guys, I'm really sorry to bring this up again (after all this time) but I'm having issues getting the optus mms to work and I can't for the life of my work out why. I'd tried using all the suggested settings and it still refuses to work (the mobile internet is and has been working flawlessly for some time now).
I was just wondering if any of you guys actually managed to get the mms working or if you all just ended up flashing with a cooked rom.

How exactly can i do this?

I used to be with AT&T with my 8525 and then switch to Sprint which of course doesnt work with Sprint. So i ended up getting a Samsung Rant and dont exactly like the web browser so i was wondering exactly how i would go about sharing my data connection with the 8525 via blutetooth. I tried it once and this is what i did:
1. I went to settings and clicked on connection settings under the connections tab.
2. clicked on Add a new modem connection under "My ISP"
3. When i do that it asks to enter a name for the connection and to select a modem, so i select bluetooth as modem and click next.
4. Then it asks for the device the connection is on and i select my rant and hit next
5. then it asks exactly this and has a text box under it: "Enter the number exactly as it should be dialed. include extra numbers, such as an ouside line or credit card" didnt exactly know what to put here so i just put a few randon numbers in to see what next step would be
6. then it asks for user name password and domain....dont know what to put here so i just clicked finish
7. when i try to connect to it. it says connecting and a message on my rant says entering into bluetooth data mode, and the 8525 tries to connect for a minute and says connection failed and goes back to today screen.
So if anybody could tell me in detail what info it is that i need it would be great. and also under select modem drop-down box there is a selection called "cellular line(GPRS, 3G)" is it possible i could just put the info for the data plan in there and it connect to the sprint data plan if that is possible..if it is can you tell me in detail the information u need and how to do it......THANKS

[Q] [Q/A] - 3G Mobile Hotspot and tethering

I know this thread is repeated here and there but I am posting here because I do not feel that any of those properly describe how to do it. I tried this trick off and on several times without success and finally just got it to work today using the steps below.
FYI - I have root access and have not tested this without root. Also, I am running SkyRaider's Sense ROM.
1. Dial ##778
1.A If dialing ##778 does not work (like me) then create a new contact whose phone number is ##778 and then call that contact.
2. Choose Edit Mode - the password is 000000 - six zero's.
3. Go to 'Security'
4. Choose S.IP DUN User name
5. Change the value from yourvzwnumber at dun dot vzw3g dot com to yourvzwnumber at vzw3g dot com
6. Press the menu button and select Commit Modifications.
7. Let the phone reboot itself.
8. One the phone has rebooted itself repeat steps 1 and 2.
9. Now that you are back in edit mode choose M.IP Default Profile
10. Change the value from yourvzwnumber at dun dot vzw3g dot com to yourvzwnumber at vzw3g dot com
11. Press the menu button and select Commit Modifications.
12. Let the phone reboot itself.
Now you should be able to use the 3G Mobile Hotspot.
I could not post this thread without removing the at and dot characters in my post.

[INFO]What to do when you cannot access 3G

I had a problem accessing 3G when installing a new rom. After flashing a few roms and finding out that roms were not the issue, as well as applying a few radio updates and changing radios and a google on the internet, I found out what was the problem. The access point was not set up. Defrost's rom based on cyanogen mod had the massive APN List preloaded, hence I never ran into that problem. However, most roms did not.
Here's how to set it up
Creating a new access point
When you need to add another data connection on your phone, obtain the access point name and settings (including username and password if required) from your mobile operator.
1) From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless & networks.
2) Tap Mobile networks > Access Point Names.
3) On the APNs screen, press MENU and then tap New APN.
4) On the Edit access point screen, enter the APN settings. Tap an APN setting item to edit it.
5) Go to this site and find your mobile network company name
6) Modify the settings as said
7) Press MENU and then tap Save.
You should now have working 3G!

I thought you already had a thread on this and a mod said to post this in general?
If you think its apn problem, install the rom it works on and then download apn backup and restore. Use that to backup apns and then when you install a rom you want, use the same app to reinstall the apns you backed up.

Good advice, but this doesn't need to be in development.
