Tmobile T zones settings

hey guys, i'm thinking i'm gonna add the tzones (5.99) plan on my phone. from what i understand, i can play around with the settings and be able to access most websites. i have two questions:
1- can somebody please explain to me in a easy to understand manner how to change these settings?
2- would i be able to use msn messenger, aol IM, and google maps with this plan?
thanks guys

i dont have the settings anymore, but they're in the wiki. with me it was shoot or miss if it was going to work. then one day it just stopped working, tried resetting everything, nothing. it works by setting up a proxy so if the app can't use proxies than it won't work. google maps, dash weather, etc. didn't work for me.
it's been a while since I used it, so it might have cahnged.

From what I've seen, the 5.99 web package (or whatever) works with most websites. I have yet to come across anything that I cannot access...

With T-Zones, there's really only one thing you can be sure of: It will give you access to the limited T-Zones service available via the WAP browser that pops up when you press the T-Zones button on your keypad.
Used to be pretty much anyone could plug in some proxy settings on a WM device and get full internet access, Messenger, Exchange, POP3, IE, all of it. Over the past year or so, T-Mobile has been modifying their systems to enforce the T-Zones level of service for those who have it.
You'll find many users claim to still have full internet access using some proxy settings -- they're lucky, though I suspect their access isn't all that 'full'.
You should search the forum, it's all been explained a zillion times over -- don't think you'll find it re-explained here.

UPDATE:
hey, i added the 5.99 tzones plan, and then once it started working, went to http://www.htcwiki.com/page/The+Dash+FAQ and did the settings that was mentioned on the website and....
everything works!! all websites, google maps, etc! the only exception is msn pocket, however, if i go to www.hotmail.com and sign in that way, it works! hopefully this continues to work, and thanks to everybody for your help!

Yea, you should be able to get to any page, and you don't have to use the T-Zones wap browser to do so. I currently use Pocket Internet Explorer, Deepfish, Opera 8.65 for Windows Mobile (Beta). I have not run into a page I can't use. I even do my online banking with Wachovia on my Dash, it works!!!! The T-Zone plan using the proxy settings WILL let you do what you need on your Dash, trust me.

Troubles with Windows Live Messenger mobile

I've installed bepe's WWE WM6 ROM for a while now. I'm have a lot of troubles with the pre-installed live messenger. I can't change my name, can't change screen image, the program freezes when i try to log in, online users are shown as offline, my email doesn't arrive (with push email), in short: looks like a crappy program to me. But i don't hear much complaints in the forum here. Are some of you experiencing this problems also with B&B ROM?
Btw: i've tried all basic advices: turning shared screen-image in the desktop messenger, clearing the password, switching users...no results...

Hi,
Some people seem to suggest this comes from an incompatibility issue between the thumbnail (user image) format on Windows and Windows Mobile. I'm however not so sure about this. I've bumbed into this issue several times and the only way to work around is by switching 'accounts' and just logging in to the same account again after picking this option.
The problem happens on all WM6 ROMs I tried so don't even bother trying different versions, unless perhaps an official WWE ROM is released.
Grtzzzzz Roel..

i seem to have found a solution
I have a dutch version of Live Messenger installed on my computer, (because i come from holland ), so i can't give you the exact option names. But i'll try to explain:
In Live Messenger (on your desktop) there are two options:
- showing screen image to other users (your msn contacts)
- keeping screen image and personal message always the same, wherever you login
the last option seems to do the trick: put it OFF on your desktop Messenger. Now i can sync, change nickname, screen image, personal message and see all online users on my P3300!
EDIT:
CRAP! Yesterday no troubles, now i'm not able to see any online users this program is driving me mad! I ll wait for a newer version before wasting any time on it...good job microsoft

i have tried several versions of Messenger, none of which work properly. looked though other forums, none had an answer, that i could see. i have been using Shapesoft IM+, it works, but nowhere near as nice as Messenger used too.

I hope the new HTC ROM will bring the solution...

Ricky and Kavana roms - Opera mini giving authentication failed

Hi all,
I've done a search, but I cannot find a solution for my problem. I've been using Opera Mini a long time and I had no problems on my HTC Wizard. I've recently been using my Dash more, and I have used Ricky's ROMs and Kavana's. I finally tried to Synchronize Opera to get to my bookmarks, and I ALWAYS get the message that Authentication Failed (in either of their 6.1 ROMS). It appears that I can't login to any sites. The only other unusual behavior is that if I go to live.com I get some foreign language, as if though my regional settings are off (but I checked and they seem to be US English and other sites are fine). The key mappings appear to be right as the letters and numbers show up okay, but I cannot log in to any site. It appears as if it is some sort of forms or Java error, but I dunno, those are only guesses. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Can anyone else "Synchronize Opera" with these ROMs?

I may be wrong since I don't use live.com, but I thought it's normal to be in a foreign language? On opera mini, which version do you have, the unsigned or signed version? I'm assuming you have 4.1.

I don't know about live.com - I didn't notice it until after I had this problem, but searches have given evidence others have seen similar behavior. Anyway, the version is 4.1 as you guessed. I have, btw, determined it is an input issue of some sort but I cannot figure out why or what the long term fix is. By going to a form in Opera Mini and then holding down ALT+SPACE, a menu popped up which allowed me to switch from x9t or whatever to abc, and I was able to log in. It appears to not hold over a reboot, though.
The behavior is really, really strange. It acts like it has the wrong keyboard mapping in Opera mini, but switching back to mobile IE the keys all match properly.....

Tilt2 web browser site login issues

I just got a Tilt 2 the other day, and this is my first HTC phone. I love it so far, but I am having an issue of not being able to login to any site in the any either opera or IE. It either tells me the login in incorrect (which it is not) or that my session has expired, without ever actually logging in.
I tried to install skyfire, but it will not even run, just returns errors and closes.
Anyone else have/had this issue or know what the problem might be?
I can not login to any site, I have tested 10 or so sites.
I have also tried putting both browers in mobile only mode, with no change.
I actually have two of these phones right now, and the problem is on both phones.

I have the same problem, specificaly with mesh. It states my cookies are expired, even after clearing all cookies, history and browser cache.

I take that back.
Logins for things like cpanel/plesk/billing scripts (whmcs, ect) and web scripts such as WP or Joomla and even Kayako don't work. But I can login to sites like ESPN/Sportsline, ebay, ect.
I take it there is something missing from these mobile browsers that is not passing along the proper info to these scripts that does not allow them to be logged in.

I finally got skyfire to work, but the same logins fail in that browser also.
I even tried to install the beta of mobile firefox (can't remember the code name now), and it was horrid, worst mobile browser I have ever seen.
There has to be a way to change cookie settings or something to allow these type of script logins.

OFF TOPIC - DESKTOP Chrome is acting strange

Ok, I know this has nothing to do with the Epic Touch but I value all of your opinions about technology stuff.
I recently switched my primary email to be my Gmail account and since I did that I was going to try using pretty much all of Google's products since it makes things very streamlined.
In doing so, I switched from Firefox to Chrome on my computers. It's a great browser: love the themes, controls, add-ons; pretty much everything (especially once chrome on android gets ironed out and bookmarks, tabs, etc. are fluid between desktop and devices).
Unfortunately, there's a major kink in the armor I've found since starting to use Chrome. Google's own websites are acting wonky! Not all of them, but Google search & Google maps (two I use constantly for work) are acting erratically. See screenshot attached as far as the search problem. Maps is just really, really unreliable and slow. It will take 10-20 tries to get it to find an address, if it ever does. I'll open Firefox and it will find it the very first time, very quickly...same with the google search. It never shows the page I screenshot and is very quick and reliable on FF.
I'm confused and just looking for some insight from ya'll smart mofos.

Is it just those two sites, or are other Google sites affected as well?
Make sure you're using the Stable release of Chrome. (Settings -> About Google Chrome and make sure dev or beta is not after the version number.)
Have you tried swapping out your DNS servers? I tend to use Google's DNS servers. http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ (Let me know if you can;t get to that, lol.)

Something might be messed up in your registry.
I had to change to Google Chrome from Firefox about 6 months ago because the Reg was all messed up and causing Firefox not to play any video, and a few other things. Yet when I started Chrome everything worked. Instead of trying to figure it out I just kept using Chrome. Haven't had any problems since. Although you may be using a Beta version also and don't even know it.
It took me awhile to find a decent program for checking the reg, so I would do a search on www.download.com for registry or registry checker.
ps I hate it when cheerios goes down the wrong side of your throat. cough cough cough

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. I downloaded CCleaner and that got rid of a bunch of stuff, helped with google search a lot. Maps is still sucky though, but I am considering trying out the DNS suggestion at home first as a guinea pig then here at my office pc. I'll let you know what comes of it.

I'm having a problem getting to cyanogen mod Nightlies as well. Those pages just won't load! IE9 would find. Also AVG keeps blocking those sites and wont let me unblock them!

I use chrome as well, and sometimes when i go to fb, chrome wont load the feed. then i reload and it works. this happened on every fb page i would go to. go to firefox or IE and it al worked fine so i knew it was on Chromes side, maybe the way the script was wrote. anyways, this did this for about 2 months. i kinda got used to it. but then it updated and it doesnt do it anymore. BUT, since i installed linux and chrome for linux, now the chrome on linux does it again. was wondering if anyone else had this problem. i know this is about google services not working right, thought i would throw that out there. dont know if it will help or not (leaning towards the not). just my 2 cents.
