Windows Live Messenger vs TMobile settings

Installed the Black Satin rom today - amazing btw! - and I've been wrestling with WLM all day. It did work at first but then stopped completely saying I was in an area with bad data coverage. ALthough I'm getting full H and 3G speeds.
After a hard reset, I tried WLM using wireless before I applied to Tmob settings and again, it worked perfectly. Drop Tmob back on and it dies again.
Anyone had this before and does anyone know of a workaround so I can have my 3G and WLM on the same handset.
Many thanks and keep up the good work. There's enough cabs on here to keep me entertained for days!!!

Just a quick question, are you putting in the T-Mobile settings manually, or via a CAB from here? I know most of the early CABs had a proxy hard-coded into them that could be causing problems. Let us know what country you're from and I'm sure someone'll be kind enough to give you the settings to put in. If it's UK, then:
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
Advanced tab > Select Networks
New > Name it T-Mobile Internet and then click on the Modem tab
New > Name it T-Mobile Internet and select Cellular Line (3G)
Next > Access point is general.t-mobile.uk
Next > Finish
OK back outa few times and you're done.
Like I said, if it's not UK, this won't work! Also, if the problem isn't related to this - sorry!

Yeah, I added my T-Mob UK settings via the HTC tool that does it via ActiveSync. It added in an HTTP proxy that I couldn't delete. Strange, 'cos when I bought my Vario II it had no proxy defined.
When the proxy was there I could not access WLM. When I used a different CAB to re-add the settings, I could.
However, Agile Messenger still won't connect at all to AIM or MSN. Gawd knows why?!

Sorry - yes, I'm on T-mobile UK with web n walk. I found a cab on one of the wiki pages for T-mobile UK which is the first one I tried and didn't work. After posting here last night, I used the UK_Setup_ZD.exe program to load the T-mob settings and it still didn't work.
If anybody might be able to point me in the direction of a clean/usable T-Mob file that would be ace.
Thanks for the suggestion to load the settings manually. Before I cleared my phone of WM5, I followed the mrvanx guide to housekeep my existing setting but there is a starred out password in the connection for T-Mob internet so I couldn't set it.
As always, any help muchos appreciated!

If you're on T-Mobile UK, you don't need a username and password (trust me!). If you want, look up the details on the T-Mobile Help and Support website and it gives you step by step instructions on setting up the connections manually, that's where I got the above instructions from.

Oooh? Will try in and see how we get on. My searches have also lead me to other posts which think it may be a proxy settings, as the Tmob cab won't allow you to change the proxy.
I'll keep experimenting and will report back!

Confused Stu - YOU ARE A STAR!
Did a hard reset, back to a clean version of Satin. Input the details with no username and password and all seems to be working. Now all I need is to be able to stop it syncing every two seconds, but I shall have a mosey around the pages for the answer to that one and why I can't make it try wireless before dialling.
You've been a great help - cheers!!!

I had the same problem as you did after upgrading to Black Satin (starred out password in the T-mobile settings). I can confirm that you don't need the username or password to get it working.
Cheers,

Cannot connect EDGE problem.

Hi Friends!
Now seems that I have a serious problem, my Diamond still with the "Cannot connect" problem, displaying the following message in any data transfer attempt:
"Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacture's documentation and try again."
It started just after updating from TLR2 to TLR3 ROM and Unsigned Hard SPL from OliNex, where radio version also changed.
Before that everything was working nice but now I have nice voice and WIFI quality, GPS and SMS are working as it should, but no GPRS/EDGE data connection.
Ive checked the connection settings lots of times, tried all RADIO versions and reflashed the following ROMs with the following Claro (Brazil) connection settings:
Settings > Connections > Connections > My ISP
APN: claro.com.br
User: claro
Pass: claro
Proxy settings: Only first box checked.
Tried setting network band manually for GSM, PAP and CHAP authentication, enabled and disabled HSDPA without success.
ROMs flashed for tests:
- RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26.25.09_0.93.25.26_Ship
- RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.37.871.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship
- RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
- tlr-diamond-2.08.07.01
- tlr-diamond-3.08.07.16
The same SIM card works perfectly in another cell phone, so I think it isnt the problem as shouldnt be with operator CLARO, here in Brazil.
Ive noticed, doing some internet search, that this problem used to happen in other HTC models, but I couldnt figure a way to solve the problem or what were its true origin.
I really need some help with this issue, since data transfer is very important to me.
Tnx in advance for your attention and help!

Some news:
Finally Ive discovered that my Daiamond is from Honk Kong after searching its part number.
I downloaded the RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1 ROM and got a surprise that it now have the Claro, and other operators from Brazil, connection settings in HTC Connection Setup, so the connection settings itself shouldnt be the issue.
The "cannot connect" problem persists...
I should donate to someone that can help me solve this problem, since I dont have any more hints to solve it...
Tnx!

Any settings in your Proxy settings field?

Hi Laubscherc;
Double checked that too, even in automatic settings from "HTC Connection Settings Tool"
Anyone knows if there is any way to make any kind of log or debug to see while it tries to connect?

I think Im getting some hint about my problem with EDGE/GPRS connection. Ive entered field test mode by dialing *#*#364#*#* and in the Group GPRS / E-GPRS I can see some fields displaying 255: <Unknown> parameter.
Some of the fields are RLC: Uplink Coding Scheme, RLC: Downlink Code Scheme, MAC mode and others.
I think it should display the settings to work with my operator, but the question is why they arent filled and how to correct this? There some kind of editor for those settings?

alfatag i have exactly the same problem as you.. and as you too don't know how to figure it out. Allready posted a thread here as you did, but nobody helped. I hope some one who know a lot about the subject can help us. At least is better now, i was thinking i was the only one who have such a big problem. ^^
If u want to, add me on msn = [email protected]
BYE

Same problem with Edge Connection
I´m facing the same problem. Have someone resolved this issue? I´m using the Claro operator too.

Do you make internet settings? All settings>Connections>GPRS?

ok what data plan are you on and what apn are you using to connect to the internet. you probably just need to edit your connections. try the epc.tmobile.com apn, works good on my viva. no proxy needed

First off, work on your spelling and grammar. Now based on what I think you are saying, you're phone isn't set up with the right network settings. What rom are you using? Most of the 6.1 roms have an automatic configuration tool to set you up with T-Mobile's settings. Otherwise, check the Excalibur Wiki that is stickied in this forum and it will answer all of your questions. If you still don't see a fix, then SEARCH. If even then you're clueless, then come back and ask us.

thanks i found out what is problem and i fixed it .. thanks everybody

Your internet does not work anymore?
You are unable to connect to the internet with your mobile phone.
I should smack you for the use of such poor grammar.

Cant help directly as im on T-Mobile but Vodafone seem to provide some quite decent support on their site
http://help.vodafone.co.uk/system/selfservice.controller?CMD=BROWSE_TOPIC&PARTITION_ID=1&CONFIGURATION=1058&TOPIC_ID=267315&parent_id=8051#s

yeah ive looked there.all over the vodafone website.cant find support for the defy.
i havent registered my number with vodafone.maybe if i do that they will send me settings.

You shouldn't need the settings sent to you.
If it's a Vodafone locked/branded handset then the settings should be pre-loaded and if it's an unlocked/unbranded handset then it should configure itself automatically when you put the SIM in (that's what my phone did anyway).
If you go into Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access point names, is there anything there?
Your last option would be to manually enter the settings I guess.

Tethering problem.

Hi guys.I've wanted to ask is someone having problems with the internet sharing on the HTC 8S?
I have this phone almost a year and in the first few months it was working all fine but since then i can't manage to share the internet over it.
It is enabling like it should and all the devices are connecting to it without no problem, just can't go to the net.
Can someone give me an advice where could be the problem?
Thanks.

Check setting of internet APN. Suddenly, mine has been changed to wap APN. Changing back to internet (no user and password, no proxy, etc.) solved this issue for me.

When i put "internet" on the APN field i don`t even have a connection on my phone.When everything is left blank like it was in the first place i have the problem with no tethering.So this is not working for me.Lucky you.

Tethering should only work if proper APN setup is done. If these setting are empty (as you said), then tethering cannot work. That is my experience, too. Check which APN you are subscribed to, or which APN does your operator use for internet access.

Unfortunately my operator currently does not have support for my HTC 8S for the APN's.I'm stuck with no setting's at this moment.All the fields are blank and everything is working just fine only no tethering.Can I somehow copy the setting's from my friends Galaxy S3 who has tethering option and it's on the same operator?

You only need to put APN name, usually "internet" is used for internet access.

Ok i think i fix it now.I will try later with my PC at home and see if it can connect too.I've tried with another android device and it has connected without a problem.The problem was in the apn parameters given from my Operator.I've found them on another site and it looks like these are the correct ones.Anyway thank you a lot for your efforts.
If i have any further problem's I'll post it again.
Take care.
