Internet,GPS, and MMS For Metropcs - Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development

I flashed the new rom 6.1 from HTC for sprint and had to reflash back to metropcs. Now when I try to access the Internet I get and error message that says " Requested content ( to any website ) cannot be accessed. You don't have access to the site. Now I have the internet plan and I have done all the step from this site to configure the settings. Can someone Please help me to get the internet, gps, and mms back? Please

Did you try calling then because they may have re-initialize your phone.
Are you sure in the connection settings that you have the correct user name & password?

Yea I think so user name is my ten digit @mymetropcs.com and password is metropcs

Metro pcs internet settings
Are you able to access your "connections" settings?
Under connections chose manage existing connections.
Make sure it dials #777.
As with EVERY phone used on MetroPCS, set your username to [email protected]
The password can be anything or empty.
Now in proxy settings, make sure you check "this network connects to the internet" and "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet".
In it's advanced settings, enter wap.metropcs.net as the proxy address, then set HTTP, WAP and SOCKS to port 3128. Secure WAP to port 443.
Load Internet Explorer, in the url/address box enter the address you wish to load. It might fail, reload.. Make sure your data arrows show that you connected.
The page should load the 2nd time.. It almost always fails the first load.. Reason is posted on another thread, but it doesn't matter..
Have fun..

GPRS Prblem

Rogers Canada MMS/SMS/GPRS Settings?
Hi sorry if I sound like a real newbie but I am. I have only used a Blackberry for the last 5 years and nothing else.
I currently have a Blackberry on Rogers in Canada, and will be getting my Dash tomorrow, I will unlock it with imei-check, what else do I need to do in order to have it work like my blackberry, I get my email from a couple pop accounts and my work outlook which does support owa web mail. right now I sync my calendar and contacts with desktop manager.
Is it worth installing BB Connect and just get my emails like on my blackberry or is it better it use the Dash email tools? when using the Dash can I change my reply to address depending on the email account I recieved the email in?
How do I find my rogers settings for MMS/SMS/GPRS??
Thanks for any help! This forum is awesome!

You should be able to point your ActiveSync server to your OWA server at work. Generally that works just like your BBerry if you enable Push Email (under the comm manager on your dash).
Thanks I tried that, but it won't let me sync to the owa server for some reason, most likely my it guys have blocked it.
I installed BB Connect and it wirks for receiving but I can not send it is greyed out.
here are the settings:
Click Start/Settings/Connections/GPRS
click Menu, choose Add
Description: Rogers WAP

Access point: goam.com
User name: wapuser1
Password: wap
Primary/Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0 (leave unchanged)

When you finish click Done.
Then make another new connection:
Description: Rogers Internet
Connects to: the internet
Access point: internet.com (vpn.com - for those like me who pay extra $10/mth. for real IP address)
User name: wapuser1
Password: wap
Everything under leave blank
After you click Done create one more new connection:
Description: Rogers MMS
Connects to: WAP Network
Access point: media.com
username: media
password: mda01
Pri-dns: leave blank
sec-dns: leave blank
ip address: leave blank
When you finish click Done.
From the connections menu select "Proxy"
Menu/Add
Description: Rogers WAP Proxy
Connects from: The Internet
Connects to: WAP Network
Proxy (name: port): 208.200.067.150:9203

Click Done.
(Proxy connection is not mandatory - things will work without it too)
Then go to home screen, click Start/Settings/Connections click on Menu select Advanced
Internet connection:
Automatic
Work connection:
Automatic
Wap connection:
Automatic
Secure wap connection:
Automatic
(it may be already like this)
Then launch Messaging (press on that button with the letter)
Select any of the listed accounts, click Menu, choose Options, then select Account Options/MMS.
Put the checkmark on these items:
Retreive Immediately;
Save sent messages (your choice actually);
Allow delivery reports;
Allow read reports.
Set Number of attempts to 2
Put Photo resolution to: QVGA (320*240)
Then click right softbuton "menu" and select MMSC SETTINGS
Again right soft buton - Menu/New

Thanks very much!!
I've entered all the settings you've listed and have been able to send an MMS, but cannot receive. Any thoughts as to why? It appears that the device won't connect to retrieve any messages.

It appears the problem was with my SIM card the whole time. I can't receive MMS on any phone, Rogers branded or not. Once I put my wife's SIM int he phone, the normal settings I've been trying worked perfectly the first time.
GPRS usage monitor that works?
Can someone tell of any GPRS usage monitor programs that work on the Excalibur?
Never mind.
I found out that Efficasoft makes a special version for the DASh and some other phones here:
http://www.efficasoft.com/gprsmonitor_w.html
efficasoft

ver. 3.51w
I'vwe noticed that even when not having anything coming in, the counter slowly creeps up.
Never mind.
I was reading it wrong. I've only used 1.74Kb.
The other figure was the projected month usage at the current rate.
did anyone managed to get the today plugin working in other homescreens?
when I put it in my homescreen it is always on the very left position on the screen.
Well these are the settings provided by my service provider .. but i dont knw whr to appy this.....????

HELP t-mobile MMS

ok heres the deal...
i have a 8525 unlocked and super CID on the t-mobile network..
i am using the HTC offical Release of WM6
i have everything set properly on my phone. i have even gone to the extent of calling t-mobile for support but they said i have all my information correct( modem connection and proxy server) i was wondering if anyone else on the t-mobile network is having the same problem.. any feed back or help is appretiated
P.S. The phone DOSE connect to the GPRS network and shows a connection ticker.... seems to time out when downloading MMS/Web content
mee too
Hey there. I am in the same boat. I have the TyTn which i'm using on Tmobile (US). I walked through withe the Tmobile rep and validated all the settings but my MMS still does not work.
My internet and all does. very wierd. any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Abracadabra
Similar problem
I have a Tmobile Wing, and been having this problem for about 4 months now, it works sending mms to other Tmobile customers but not for other carriers. ANy info on this matter would be appreciated.
Thanx, Erros
Hoping I can help All Tmobile Users WIth a TyTn Device Cause I would Shoot Myself if My MMS didn't Work ! lol
I have 2 Working TyTn devices With Working MMS Sending & Recieving.
At this Point I'm Sure From the Fustration lol You have your MMS Settings Memorized lol But Here there are Just in Case....
Server Name : T-Mobile MMS
Gateway : 216.155.165.50 (Tip if you have 216.155.165.050 it Probably will Not Work)
Port Number : 8080
Server Address :http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
If you Have this So Far All is Good. After This point I will get into Details Cause this Next Step Can be Tricky......
Connect Via: This is Where it Gets Tricky. From My experience You can Send or Receieve MMS message Successfully through wap.voicestream.com SO ! if you have Internet2.voicestream.com or Internet3.voicestream.com YOU MOST LIKELY WILL NOT RECIEVE or BE ABLE TO SEND MMS.....So Since all of us on T-Mobile Don't have 3G yet(Shut up Cingular Users I Don't wanna Hear it ! ) And There Really isn't Much of a Speed decrease or Increase from Using the Different Internet Connections I would Leave the Internet connection aLways at Wap.Voicestream.com.
If you feel like the Internet Speed is "Faster" on The others or the Other Internet Connections give you More Connectivity Options, You Need to Setup 2 Different Connections for the Internet. One for MMS and One for Your Regular Internet Browsing. This Is Where The Option "Connect Via" Gets Tricky. If you set up The MMS Using Wap.voiceStream.com as a General Internet COnnection you can Set
Connection Via : The Internet
If you Setup 2 Connections , One for MMS And One for Internet you will Name The MMS Connection What ever you Choose for ex. "Tmobile MMS" And then When Setting up the MMS and "Connection Via" option , you WIll Select what ever you called the MMS connection in the Drop Down Menu.
Sending Size Limitations : Sound be Set at Max Depending on What Version of MMS you are Using it'll be anywhere from 300k up to 600k in the Drop Down Menu
Wap Version : Wap 2.0
Hope This has Helped. If anyone Needs More help, clarification or Pix For Help of Setup I'd be More than Happy to. Tmobile is so UNHELPFUL when they Find out you are Using a "Non-Tmobile" Phone. So I"ll Help out as Much as I can.
Here you go!
Here you kids go... this will fix server settings and enable tmobile customers running on custom cooked roms to receive the full size picture (without installing these files, you may be able to get it to work with the proper server settings, but pictures will be downscaled). Heres the ultimate fix
enjoy!

Kavana ROM proxy settings: new-inet / new-corp ?

I asked this n another thread, but no joy.
I installed the latest Kavana ROM, works GREAT. Thanks for that.
But, some questions.
I'd like to understand how all the networks and proxy things work.
I understand how proxy servers work for the PC world, but I don't understand all the various connections and proxies on the smartphone.
I'm on T-mobile, and I used the connection wizard. But then MMS and SMS weren't working quite right, so I applied some other settings from some other posts and right now, it all (IE, SMS, MMS) seems to work.
But, I am not at all confident I could reproduce this if I had to flatten the device again. Is there something I can read to understand the relative significance of all the various named networks: "work" "TMobile MMS" "Tmobile Data" "WAP Network" "Secure WAP Network" and "The Internet" and also the various proxies that route to these various networks?
Do I really need all the connections - I have like 7 of them.
The new-inet:1118 proxy - what is that for?
That hostname, is it really meaningful?
I also have a new-corp:1159 proxy,
with a name of HTTP:{3F31657F... (etc etc guid)}
What is THAT thing for?
I'd feel better if I understood all these settings, when and why I need a proxy. etc etc . thanks for pointers.
Anyone know?
Anyone know the answer to this? anyone have any clues to offer me?
I'm also having trouble w/ the MMS after installing Ricky's ROM. Are you able to pull the MMS settings from your phone and share? Otherwise, does anyone else know all of the settings?

These cryptic settings come from active sync. I see them if I allow my DASH to sync with my office Windows XP machine with networking enabled. and my office trys to use the network my Dash is on. Once these entries are created, I can not use my t-mo net connection (cheap version). But it is all fine, once I delete these unknown entries.
My MMS Settings
Here's what I did to get MMS to work, in and out.
I am using Kavana 1.33 ROM.
1. set up 2 connections:
Start...Settings....Connections....GPRS
Now, either add a New item, or edit an existing one.
Description: T-Mo Web or T-Mo Data or something else similarly descriptive
Connects to: The Internet
Access point: internet2.voicestream.com
Username: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Authentication Type: None
Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
IP Address: <blank>
Done
[the above gets you a connection to the Internet ]
Again, either add a New item, or edit an existing one.
Name: T-Mo WAP or T-Mo MMS or something descriptive
Connects To: WAP Network
Access Point: wap.voicestream.net
[everything else as above]
Done
[the above gets you a connection to the T-mobile WAP network]
Done
[you are in Settings...Connections, now.]
2. set up one proxy
Scroll to "Proxy"
[this is also reachable directly from home screen via: Start...Settings....Connections....Proxy]
New.... or Edit an existing (your preference)
Name: Tmo WAP->Internet
Connects from: Wap Network
Connects To: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Username: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Done
[the above sets up a proxy connection for your SMS/MMS]
Done
[you are in Settings...Connections, now.]
3. Set up SMS preferences
Scroll to "SMS Service"
[this is also reachable directly from home screen via: Start...Settings....Connections....SMS Service]
SMS over: GPRS Preferred
Done
[your are now back in Settings...Connections]
Pess the red "call end" button.
[you are now back on the home screen]
4. Set up MMS on the device:
Start...Messaging
scroll to MMS
Menu...Settings...
Menu (again)
MMSC Settings
Menu...New or Menu....Edit (your pleasure).
[the settings for this MMSC thing should be:]
Name: whatever you like, I used "Picture Messaging"
MMSC URL: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
WAP Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080
Connect Via: WAP Network
Max. Sending Size: 300k (or whatever you prefer)
WAP version: WAP 2.0
Done
Done
Done
HOME
5. set up IE
Start...Internet Explorer
Menu...Tools...Options...Connections
Automatically Detect Settings - This works either way for me, checked or unchecked
Select network: The Internet.
Done
Done
----
All of the above allows me to send out SMS and MMS messages, and receive in such messages, as welll as surf the internet from IE.
I have the $19.99/month T-Mobile internet plan in the USA.
If you have the $5.99 T-zones plan, then I think your settings may be different.
Search elsewhere for that.
ActiveSync creates new-inet and new-corp proxies?

Are you sure? Are you sure those things come from ActiveSync and are not just in the Kavana ROM? I use Windows Vista, and the Windows Mobile Device Center, which is the replacement for Activesync. I have never used WinXP and ActiveSync (on the PC) with this device, but I did have those weird entries. I don't see those odd proxy entries get recreated when I sync with Vista+WMDC.
I assuming that the odd proxy entries that reference "new-corp" and "new-inet", were just "in" the ROM by default. Or maybe they were set up when I ran the Internet Connection Wizard which is in the ROM. I don't know for sure. This is why I am asking you, ARE YOU SURE that those entries come from ActiveSync?
Do they return *every time* you sync?
In any case, lacking any real response from the board, I removed the proxy entries from my device, and for me at least, everything still works - SMS, MMS, Internet, etc.
I hate the fact that this still feels so mysterious.
-Cheeso
Damn. I put in all of these settings exactly as shown and still get an "Error Synchronizing" message when I try and send/receive MMS messages. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm on T-Mobile, $20 plan w/ Ricky's 6.1.

Unable to browse to secure sites

I just receieved my TP2 yesterday from mobilephonesdirect (with a T-Mobile contract).
I've run into a problem with trying to browse to secure sites or access my hosted exchange and pop email accounts (both over secure connections).
Activesync returns the error "ActiveSync cannot reach the server. Check that the server address and proxy server settings are correct.". Trying to browse to a https://... address in opera mobile causes it to crash, and in IE I get a dialog saying it cannot find the url and "Make sure the path or Internet address is correct."
I did discover this thread over at expansys about the same problem with the Touch Pro (http://www.expansys-usa.com/ft.aspx?k=113037) but following the steps doesn't work for me, unticking the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" option just reticks it the next time I view the settings.
I can't find any settings different between my new TP2 and Vario3 so I'm stuck. Has anyone else had issues?
It's fixed now
I did a soft reset and then the unticking the proxy server setting actually worked. Not quite sure why the TP2 requires this to be unticked yet my Vario 5 is working with it ticked.
Doesn't work
I can untick the proxy but this doesn't solve my activesync/exchange problem. I can access POP3 email etc fine and access my exchange account over wifi or via USB, so I assume it's a T-mobile issue. Anybody any help? I have tried searching and the only other h suggestion was to change proxy server to end in .135 instead of .132, but this doesn't work either.
Now does work
Had to delete the T-mobile settgins that wereautomatically configured, restart,then do the automatic configuration again, then uncheck proxy box before making any connections, then restart and voila!

Imap Email on T Mobile

Hello
I have received my touch pro 2 and its amazing!!
Just having a problem with email, I have set up my google account with the correct details as well as my ntlworld account(both were working on my old phone).
On the new phonewhen sending/receiveing I get an error of error synchronizing and a data message of cannot connect with current connection settings.
I have tested Internet on the phone which is working fine.
Are T Mobile likely blocking imap access?
Thank you
I have just put my new sim in my old phone and the email is pulled down fine so must be a setting on the new phone, any ideas?
Thank you
its something to do with their web proxy and only happens when you are connected to certain "bits" of tmobile.
To fix it, go to settings->all settings ->connections->connections->setup my proxy server-> and UNCHECK this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet.
