I recently acquired a Tmobile Dash. I do not have internet subscription from Tmobile. I have wifi at home and at work. I will very occasionally (like once a month) need to dial in to my (work) ISP to download my email if I am away from work (don't travel much). I can input my dial up information into the Dash but cannot find any info about how to initiate a connection with my ISP. Is this possible at all? If so, how? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Any thoughts?!
to initiate connection:
just try to open some webpage in IE or download mail in Pocket Outlook.
DASH will dial your default internet connection automatically if required.
Has anyone been able to figure this out? I'm unable to dial up with dash.
Hi,
Does anyone of you in NYC with cingular medianet Max Unlimited plan able to connect to m.youtube.com without getting "failed to connect network" error message?
It seems to me that Cingular has blocked the ports that streaming video are using? I am using Wifi without any problem.
Does anyone has a clue?
Thank you.
There's no streaming video on m.youtube.com... just some links to movies in 3gp...
I know in Media Net's WAP settings there is a proxy setting---try removing the proxy setting. I know without the proxy setting in place---you cannot access Cingualar's MediaNet page/videos.
I use PDA Net plan --- Could not get MediaNet to work on 3G at the time (also in NY).

Setup 2 profiles on phone. One for MediaNet (includes proxy settings) & another, e.g., ISP, not using proxy. MediaNet connection will work with many sites, but not streaming video or audio.
When you want to go to a site, like youtube or video streaming music, use your ISP profile. Do a search on forum & you'll find a Custel progy for switching between proxy & non-proxy.
If that doesn't work, reply here, as there might be a reg setting that needs to be changed.
Okay,
I'm running Black Satin and I just installed a MOBITV cab. Somehow when it is starting it is forcing my connection over to my ISP settings from cingular and not media net. Then it is sitting there and will not run. When I go to PIE it promptly changes the settings back to Media net. In the Connections>Advanced Tab, both of my drop down boxes have Media net in them. Any idea why this is happening?
hard coded into mobitv id assume..
I agree that it appears MOBITV is referencing this but I'm just not sure how to change/solve it. I tried searching for another cingular settings cab to try and change the settings. Anyones advice would be helpful. Or if someone could post a .cab file with the latest cingular settings I would appreciate it.
Picked up a softbank X01HT today, my first WM device. It was lots of fun upgrading the Rom to Schaps 4.01 and getting bbconnect 4.0.0.91 working. Everything is great and this appears to be the device of my dreams!
One thing I've noticed though is that if I'm plugged into the USB to charge and activesync enables, the bbconnect service is blocked... likewise if I use the internet.
Any advice if these two scenarios can be overcome?
Thanks for a great community and awesome info!
You can't bypass it while utilizing activesync. As for the internet you have to use the browser that installs when you first initialize blackberry connect otherwise all other browsers will use your internet settings rather than the blackberry connect ipn. You may be able to configure it so that other applications use the bb ipn but since I no longer have my hermes I don't recall if you can. Maybe someone that has bbconnect with their hermes can chime in.
most, if not all carriers seem to not like multiple APNs running although WM6 can handle it.
What is happening is you are not using ActiveSync to surf, rather your mobile network, which shuts down the BN APN for your standard internet
The only time I am able to use both BBConnect and IE is when I am connected to WiFi. Somehow, WM6 establishes connection to WiFi access point and yet BBConnect is still connected to the BB APN.
Strangely I suddenly cannot access the internet at all, is there a way to force the browser to use my Rogers GPRS connection to access the web instead of the BB apn? It is staying on now even when I try and access the internet. Thanks!
Actually I figured it out. If I use the default browser in WM6 it goes nowhere but if I use the Internet Browser in the blackberry program folders I'm fine on the BB apn.
Hi guys,
as said, i try to use my TP2 as a router, via my T-mo connection. I have an unlimited dataplan, and flashed the EngeryROM from Warhawk i guess.
Here is my Problem:
I can't access certain sites while using my TP as a router, and what annoys me the most is, that i cant run icq or steam on my laptop, using the TP...
Altough, icq runs on my TP.
Is this a port problem, or is it because T-mo blocks it?
Or any other idea?
Any help would be appreciated
I can't imagine that they'd block it. I'm not entirely up to speed on using the phone as a router, is it possible that the ports are blocked? Does the phone have an interface you can connect to similar to that of a traditional router? (IE tether your phone to your computer, once connected run an ipconfig and then type the address of the default gateway into your browser and see if there's an interface?) I might be way off base with that, though.
As an aside - I'm not sure what T-mobile's deal is with "unlimited" data plans. If it's anything like AT&T then once you cross that 5GB line you'll probably be on watch (from what I've gathered online), so you might want to look into that if it is your intention to pull a lot of data downstream from the likes of steam.
not familiar with t-mobile's data connection/setup but maybe its a proxy issue? try disabling the proxy if there is one and see if that helps.
I am using Energy Rom on my Tilt2 but I am on ATT
I had exactly the same issue.
Basically I had to disable proxy (which is a trick to get it to stick)
and switch to a different APN
I know it may not help but the default AT&T apn is wap.cingular
I use isp.cingular which supports direct connection without a proxy.
I am not sure how TMO does it's connections, but this may point you in the correct direction.
I guess its the proxy, cause i definitely know, that it's not volume limited.
Can anyone link me a tutorial or describe me how i can change that proxy or whatever, cause i'm really a noob when it comes to this...
The TP2 is my first WinMo device, so i ain't that experienced yet...
If you start WiFi Router, is there a choice for the internet connection in the lower area? I remember that I had several preconfiguratet connections on my MDA V when I got it from T-mobile. Maybe you can choose another connection there and it works. Did EnergyROM automatically set up your connections after flashing? Maybe you try these settings:
Name (Profilname): T-Mobile Internet
APN (Zugangspunkt): internet.t-d1.de
Benutzername: internet
Password: t-d1
DNS-Adresse: 193.254.160.001
IP- / Proxy- / Gateway-Port: 9201
Verbindungssicherheit: aus
GPRS-Ablaufzeit 2 Minuten
hey, tried out your settings, they seem to work, but i still cant connect with steam and icq -.-
i can only select the t-mobile internet connection in the wifi-router.
aaaaand i cant find the field where to enter this gateway port stuff you wrote.
Hope this links hel you:

Nope, still not working. These tuts just show how to establish a connection, but i already got one. The problem is, that i can only access the internet via browser
No steam, icq, skype or else, which is pretty annoying, cause i don't want to pay an extra 25 euros for a surf stick by tmo...
