Does anyone has unlimited access to Web, emails with T-Mobile Web $5.99 hacked working properly?
Please help, I can't access to Internet
Adavid
Timely question as I have been wrestling with the very same issue for the past 36 hours.
My phone also has the RW 6.1 ROM and I activated T-Zones a day and a half ago. I've followed the hack instructions on "dashapps" to the letter, booted and rebooted several times, yet no internet. I either get a "$MESSAGE$..." or "you cannot access.." message when I try to connect.
I read on another HTC (non-Excalibur) board that T-Mobile has closed this loophole: can anyone definitively verify? There's a member here -- JDOGG*** something that says he works for TMo, so maybe he knows for sure.
I hate to be the noob that asks the same question that's been answered a dozen times, but... I've scoured this board and followed all the hack instructions EXACTLY -- several times -- and still no luck, so I'm at a loss for solutions.
Any and all guidance is genuinely appreciated. Thank you.
i've had the $5.99 working for quite some time working with:
autosync/exchange
iris browser/pocket IE
IM+ (IM program)
VNC viewer
also, i'm using 6.1 & followed the dashapps hack w/ no issues. not sure what else to tell you guys.
Yes, the $5.99 proxy hack doesn't work in some regions (usually those with the highest data traffic.) For everyone else, it works perfectly, with the exception of a few apps that aren't proxy aware.
A related question which may help solve my issue:
Within "Connections" there are two GPRS choices: #5, "GPRS Settings" and #6, "GPRS". For "GPRS Settings" I have the option of authenticating using PAP or CHAP: which do I use?
Also, is there a preferred setting for "Disconnect GPRS When Dropped"? (Preferred in the sense that it may effect my ability to connect to the internet.)
Thanks again.

Just double checked my settings for you. I have it listed as CHAP, Hold Connection and checked GPRS Auto Attach. GPRS Auto Detach is not checked. Hope that helps, in St. Paul the settings work just fine.
hello can anybody confirm if they're in Miami, FL. and this hack works,
thanks in advance
i live in ft. lauderdale pretty close to miami and it works fine.
$5.99 Setting for WM6.1.....URGENT
ralph1o1 cal you write it down your phone set up?
I called T-mobile Yesterday to do the setting and the Lady toll me that I have to get the $19.99 plan to get access with WM6.1, I'm pretty sure a few peoples of "T-mobile support" doesn't have a idea when you change OS doesn't come with the original phone.
If you can bring me the setting I appreciated.
By the way..I went back to WM6 to try and I had access to T-Zones thru "winwap" but I didn't have the $5.99 plan to try it.

I Love Wm6.1 And I Don't Want Go Back.............
Please Help To Set Up Internet With $5.99 Plan
:d
My GPRS is set to PAP, but the other settings mentioned are the same. Here are my settings:
Under GPRS, I have three connections:
The first and third are labeled T-Mobile Data and T-Mobile WModem Link and are both setup the same:
Connects to: WAP Network
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
Other settings are blank, except for the DNS entries are all 0.0.0.0.
The second connection is labeled T-Mobile MMS:
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
Other settings are blank, except for the DNS entries are all 0.0.0.0.
Now onto the proxies...I have two setup:
Tzones Proxy:
Connects from: WAP Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Username and Password are both blank.
Tzones Proxy2:
Connects from: Work
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Username and Password are both blank.
I live in Ohio and it works all over the state and Michigan, if that matters at all.
Let us know if these settings work for you.

let me get this straight...you put a cooked copy of 6.1 on your phone....you then call tmobile and tell them that your new unsupported cooked rom wont let you access the whole net on the 5.99 hack plan like the wm6 did.
you do realize that the whole concept of what we are doing here has totally escaped you.
Yah just follow the instructions below and you should be able to access it.
Thanks guyz....
Thanks to you gauyz....jdoggraz and unasari1
I will try to setting on the phone.
I really wants to thanks to "ralph1o1".....

My Company Exchange Mail, Google Mail, and SBCGlobal POP Mail, all working.
wow... even the skyfire browser is working for me... i wonder what brought this on?
Anyway, i'm not complaining! I'm finally able to use my favorite messenger (beejive IM) with no problems... THANKS!
EVEN HTC WEATHER IS WORKING!
Must be because they're rolling out 3g and they're turning what used to be the t-zone plan into the total internet plan?
thats what im doing right now, but to be sure you should probably enter the apn info beforehand to test, i was reading that tmo is phasing out the wap.voicestream.com apn in favor of the epc.tmobile.com apn for the 3g network. the new address has more bandwith and lower latency
Wow. Palringo is working just fine right now.
so gmail works with this?
i mean i changed to the new server awhile ago but not the dns settings and such. im trying now.
doesnt work for me... can someone give better instructions?
what do you mean gmail? pop access? or going to the website? cause they both work even when i was using the proxy..
On the Hermes I did not enter any dns info, aside from the actual gateway. There are four options under the advanced tab two for dns and two for wnc or something like that. Anyone else who is using the Hermes can you please post more detailed info on what else you entered. I can run everything fine with the automatically find info option, but my speeds cap around a 100 kbps.
awesome! skyfire works with youtube videos too!

There are versions of OZ out there that do not connect.
Uninstall the version you have and install this one.

Is your phone App UNLOCKED??
I know what the problem is. As soon as I get home I will Private Message you the settings you need to have. This should work for you okay. We are here to help you get this working alright.
Here go to settings and make sure that you have the same as this under GPRS and Proxy: (I am going to list what you should have below, if it differs at all make sure you delete the others and only have this okay).
GPRS:
Create the Following
T-Mobile Data:

T-Mobile WModem Link:
Connects To: WAP Network
Access point: wap.voicestream.com
T-Zones:

Proxy:
Now Create The Following Under Proxy which is after GPRS:
T-Zones Proxy:

Type: HTTP
T-Zones Proxy 2:
Connects From: Work
Connects To: The Internet
Proxy (name : port): 216.155.165.50:8080

Don't have LTE, so I created an APN for phone, gives me faster speeds with ATT and lets me use Onlive (blocked using the original APN). Noticed however visual voicemail only works with the LTE APN. any way to add it to my custom one?
Don't have a response to your question but I'm curious how you got the new APN to stick? On mine when I created another APN but it just keeps on defaulting to the "pta" APN.
My understanding visual voice mail is exclusively for LTE network. In fact, if you switch to LTE plan and go back to regular plan, you might endup with disabled voice mail.

I have no problem adding new APN and use it...
I wasn't aware there was a separate LTE plan?
That is strange. I wonder why I cannot set up an additional APN to connect to. Whenever it's selected, I can watch it get switched back after a few seconds...
Yeah, basically it's the same plan just has LTE in it's name.
If you have SQLite Edit (or something similar), you could try alter the APN manually.

I had the same issue with the phone APN not sticking. I followed the instructions from a thread in the Skyrocket forum about throttling that said to use phone for the APN name, internet for the APN type and leave everything else blank or default. How I ended up solving it was using the MMSC, MMS proxy, MMS port, and APN type entries from the pta APN and using them in the phone APN and after that phone APN would stick.
Also, I too am unable to get Visual Voicemail on the phone APN.
Thanks! I can't believe I didnt think about trying that. I just created the phone APN with the same settings as PTA and it works. I'm back on regular HSPA+ speeds since I'm not in an LTE area. For what its worth, visual voicemail works just fine for me.
Evening-
I too had some issues with the VVM not working and couldn't figure out why...even tried to use YouMail with no luck and finally logged into my account and reset the password for my V-Mail. I then re-set up the stock ATT VVM, deleted the forwarding YouMail installs and everything worked like a charm again.
I too setup the alternative APN (not in the LTE Market) and it stuck just fine...maybe try resetting the password/pin and see if that works. Good luck!
i know there isnt a toggle for turning of lte on the at&t variant but i thought there was some work arounds to this. can someone please post the steps to do this?
There's fairly simple instruction for this not only on xda, but on multiple other sites as well. Have you heard of Google?
In short - change APN settings.

actually theres a better way, if you're on CM10 or AOKP dial *#*#4636#*#* and choose WCDMA only or WCDMA Preferred. This will prevent the phone from trying to use LTE as its default network.

I thought that no matter what, for att users it always reverted back...
I tried going back to the wap.cingular apn but my phone would lose signal everynow and then..

It doesnt if you're on AOKP at least for my ATT it doesnt, if I set it to WCDMA preferred as it is by default I never see LTE, even with the PTA APN selected, and I know LTE is active in my area because on stock and CM10 I default to it and get upwards of 30-40 Mbps
See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1826409
Theres also a way if you have root to create the new APN and have it stick (reason it doesnt stick is because PTA is set as default and because you cant change it reverts back to PTA). I'll give the steps I took to allow me to edit my PTA APN. again remember you need root. (also sqlite)
1. Using root explorer (or similar) navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony>databases>nwk_info.db
2. Tap on Carriers
3. Select line for AT&T PTA 310/410 scroll all the way to the right and under editable put a 1
4. Do the same for ATT Entitlement
5. Go to the PTA APN Menu>Settings>More Settings>Mobile Network> Access Point Names
6. In the PTA APN delete the values in the "APN type" field (this will prevent the phone from defaulting back to this APN)
7. Create new APN
Name
(whatever you'd like to name it)
APN
wap.cingular
Proxy

Only down side to this is that the phone will periodically drop ALL signal but then gains it back withing 15-20 seconds. I'm also still looking for a way to enable the "Network operators" selection through root explorer (I imagine it to be in a similar place as the APN settings). Any help from someone more knowledgeable than me is appreciated. Hope this helps. Also below is a link to where I posted working USSD (MMI) codes that I found. Maybe something can be discovered in those.
