T-Mobile USA, iMate Jam and GPRS. HELP!!!!

[cragmonkey]

Hey there,.....ultimate noob posting here but here goes.

I have an unlocked iMate Jam on the T-Mobile USA network. I have upgraded my plan to include the internet on this phone. These are my phone settings/information:

ROM Version: 1.11.00 WWE
Radio Version: 1.11.00
Protocol Version: 1337.42
ExtROM Version: 1.11.210 WWE
Model #: PM10C

The problem is that I cannot connect to GPRS to get or get MMS. I have gone through the connection settings with t-mobile reps about 20 times and I'm SURE they are correct.

Does anyone know what's going on here? Is it my ROM version. One t-mob rep seemed to think that my ROM version was unsupported. Has anyone else had this problem. Can anyone shed any light? Thanks.

I know that there are softwares like monster chinese or CE-star about US $40, is there any alternate way instead of buying the software? since I'm not a bigpocket kinda person :( please help... thank you

Since the post from Elite has NOTHING to do with the subject of this forum, we are going to ignore it and continue to talk about this issue at hand.

FYI- After my last post, my GPRS internet seems to be working fine. I have to soft reset every once in a while but considering the level of functionality that I have had up till now, I'll take whatever I can get.

The only obstacle left for me is MMS. The iMate notifies me that an MMS message is available for download but when I click on download, it attempts to open my WAP connection (T-mobile rep said that MMS always uses a WAP connection) the connection says that it connects (after looooonnnnggg time) and then says 'receiving' but it NEVER downloads the rest of the MMS message.

All I want to know is if any other T-mobile USA customers have had similar problems. If so, is there any info you can provide me that would help me fix this for all of us.

Ok well here is the 411 on gprs and mms on T-mobile I have run and used both since the xda II was out. I now have a xda IIi and confirm everything works fine. You need to make sure you have the right internet or data service enabled before try! They have two data services. One is just wap which does not give you full access to the internet as in open ports on there network. The other is unlimited internet which is like 19.99. That gives you full access. Configure your device as the following and you will be fine for mms. Also you need your apn correct. Usually on tmobile its internet2.voicestream.com or internet3.voicestream.com. You can call in and ask.

MMS Setting are as follows on any pocket pc phone.

1 Under My Work Network, select “Add a new modem connection”
2 Enter a name for your connection; I used “MMS”
3 From the Select a modem drop down choose Cellular Line (GPRS)
4 Tap Next
5 In the text box labeled (Access point name) type in wap.voicestream.com
6 Tap Next
7 Leave the User name, Password, and Domain fields blank
8 Tap Finish
9 Tap the Proxy Settings tab
10 Place a check in both boxes
11 Leave “Proxy server” blank
12 Tap Advanced
13 Leave HTTP and Socks Server fields blank.
14 Enter 216.155.165.50 for your WAP server. Port # is 9201
15 Enter 216.155.165.50 for your Secure WAP server. Port # is 9201
16 Tap OK twice

Now go to your MMS program and set it up, create a new server and I called mine T-Zones. Here are those settings.

Server Name: T-Zones
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port: 9201
Server Address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms

Tap ok

Now go to preferences and enter these settings,

Connect Via: My Work Network
Connect to Server: T-Zones

(check the box to retrieve messages immediately)

And it should work.

Enjoy!
