Anybody in US using Qtek 9100 on Cingular (formere ATT)?

[artisticcheese]

Hi,

I have SIM card belonging to former ATT wireless network and I want to upgrade my Qtek 9100 to best ROM and radio to work in US (on former ATT wireless network or Cingular at least).
What is the best ROM and radio for this situation if somebody has the same device?


Thanks,

I have a generic QTEK 9100 and us Cingular.

This was installed from the forums summiter custom rom.

ROM version: 2.17.7.2 WWE
ROM date: 2/10/06
Radio version: 02.07.10
Protocol version: 413.1.03

Works great everywhere including my recent trip to Alaska.

My only issue is that I have a PDA data plan and everything installs as WAP and when you add the connection for the DATA Plan it still tries to use WAP. I need the PDA plan because WAP does not support VPN connections and I like to use the phone as a modem with my notebook.

Hello! I am a Cingular customer with the Qtek 9100. I have been with Cingular for several years when they used to be Southwestern Bell Wireless here in Amarillo, TX.

I purchased my unlocked 9100 last winter. It had the original radio, ROM, ExtRom etc and worked fine on Cingular. I simply took my SIM card out of my previous phone (that had a data plan), stuck it in the 9100, went to the Cingular Support site for all the access credentials for MediaNet and MyISP and there I was. (MMS uses MediaNet). If you were to have seen me in a crowd, I'd be the one grinning from ear to ear. Works great! I have since used the registry hacks to enable the E for EDGE enabled areas, etc. I also updated my ROM, Radio, etc to these versions:
ROM:2.17.7.2 WWE
ROM Date: 2/10/06
Radio:02.25.11
Protocol:4.1.13.12
Ext ROM:2.17.7.102

The Radio version is the most recent update I did yesterday, the ROM was done shortly after its release some weeks (months?) ago. I have also added the A2DP and it works like a charm with Motorola HT820 stereo headset. I have had absolutely no issues with any working aspect with this phone at all. I should also note that the only other software I have added is the GPS utility for my Houlux bluetooth GPS receiver. I'm still looking for a good mapping/navigation software with voice prompting to add later.

Best of luck with your trials, I hope they will be all as good as mine have been!

Do you happen to have the link for that? I can't get my MMS to work. They never download, and I have the unlimited DATA plan.
