New Cingular Data Install cabs for your WM6 ROM

[MrDSL]

Due to the obvious confusion with data settings and Cingular users I want to get this taken care of. I know theres a .cab floating around for this already but its already know that it doesn't store the username/password sometimes and it also seems to have a problem with some users keeping a exchange connection for whatever reason.

This has went much better then I thought and I would like to give a big thanks shogunmark and wpbear for making the .cabs for all of us to use. Much appreciated :-)

I have at least loaded each of these up on a fresh WM6 ROM and they all seem to work fine so hopefully some more users will test them out.

The first download will load up the default Cingular MediaNet/ My ISP WAP MMS Settings and of course MediaNet will be the default.

The second download will load up The same settings except My ISP WAP will be the default connection instead of MediaNet

The third download is basicly the same as the second one but is for those who have the PDA data plan and want to use isp.cingular/ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM instead of wap.cingular/WAP@CINGULARGPRS

[jetjock]

Here's my first attempt trying to put this together. I got the makecab app from the following miscrosoft Website (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310618)

Then I followed their directions from this website (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/solutionaccelerators/mobile/deploy/msfp_8.mspx).

Let me know it works. No money required.

I hope it is worthwhile.

[MrDSL]

Will work on this tonight and let everyone know..


thank you..

So since I am tired of entering in my data settings manually all the time I am willing to pay someone who has a .cab maker program to do it for me and I will test it on all the WM6 ROM's I can and share with everyone on here.

Below are the settings directly from the .xml file and not pulled from someones registry so they should work.

I think $15 via paypal seems fair so just pm me.

Thanks for the offer MrDsl, it is very nice that you are willing to pay for a cab and then offer free to other users. Just don't forget that there is more than one way to set up Cingular connections.

1) wap.cingular with proxy settings
2) wap.cingular without proxy
3) isp.cingular (with ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM)
4) isp.cingular (with ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM)

and don't forget the other settings like compression, some connections use the settings and some don't.

Also, the setting are different if you use exchange versus another email carrier.

Also, if you don't have PdaConnect or LaptopConnect using isp.cingular may cost you more!

I hope someone takes the time to create cab files for the many Cinuglar users who don't like to set them themselves. Unfortunately, people like WpBear who have attempted to help, have just been bashed for no good reason. He made a cab clearly for one of the specific uses above, then people who have a different kind of an account then complain it doesn't work.


Good Luck!

[MrDSL]

That .xml file are the settings you will get from any 8525 you buy from Cingular so I mean they have to work. Its defaulted to WAP@CINGULAR.COM so if you have the PDA Unlimited then any user can go in and change it to ISP@CINGULAR.COM

If you want to take your proxy out etc etc then that will be up to each user. The idea of this is to have a .cab that does the default cingular settings you would get if you went into the store and bought a 8525 for example.

Thats why I'm using the code from the .xml file. The .cab wpbear made was pulled from the registry of his phone that didn't have exchange setup and that may be why some users experience the connection problem and it was much appreciated. I really just want to squash this issue and if it costs me a few bucks then its worth it.

This .cab is going to be completely different in that its created directly from what Cingular sets the settings at..

Follow?

[eagercrow]

Isn't that what these files already do?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1163312&postcount=1

[MrDSL]

Not to be rude in any way but I explained this in my last topic already.


Again the files you are pointing to by wpbear while they are great it is known that for some of us the username/password doesn't get entered and some users experienced exchange connection problems like myself. wpbear even mentioned that the phone he pulled the settings from didn't have exchange setup so that may in fact be the issue but who knows.

Either way I am trying to eleminate all this by getting a .cab based off the actual .xml file thats loaded when you install a Cingular ROM that way none of those issues should exsist..

The main focus of this .cab file is that its based off the Cingular default settings from the .xml in the extended rom that you would get from Cingular and not based on settings someone entered..

I hope this clears everything up.

[shogunmark]

just grab the xml that does the settings, edit out the first and last line that says "wap provisioning doc" then save it as an xml and download wince cab manager (ocpsoftware.com), import the xml and save the cab, then load it up on your phone ;)

then after that works donate your $15 to xda ;)

I did actually try this last night (installing the limited trial of wince cab manager) but it linked me to microsoft to install some other stuff that I didn't fully understand. I will try again now..



edit..

Ok I think I have figured it out so hopefully the trial version will let me do this..

[shogunmark]

i had a few moments and used the settings you posted above and created a cab.. although i dont have time to test it so i dont know if it will install properly or not, but here you go! Let me know if it works!

**edit**
removed this cab since i made a better one and to avoid future confusion

[MrDSL]

I'm really clueless on win ce cab manager so I'm not sure if I'm doing things right.

I launched the program and named my project..I included a screen shot below..

So all I did was click on the Pre XML line and imported the cingular.xml I posted above from notepad and loaded it and then just saved the file and I now have a .cab file.

Anyone that uses this can they tell me from my screen shot that I am probably doing this right?

thats what i did also... but i did remove the first and last line of the xml, the line contains <wap-provisioningdoc>
i have read on the ocp board that wince does not play well with those lines and is best to leave them out!

Shouldn't that be ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM??

I use the ISP GPRS method, no proxies, no MediaNet and use exchange pushmail. I've use the WAP GRPS as well, no proxies, no MediaNEt and these have worked fine, except for recent issues with the data connection shutting off.

I tried the WPbear files: proxies and MediaNet interfere with Exchange settings...

WAP (WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM)@CINGULARGPRS.COM (WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM) is used for media net, with or without proxies, works either way...

**edit**
i just looked at that closer and noticed the access point is isp.cingular ... so in that instance you are right... however if you change it to wap.cingular then you can use media net with not proxy and not need an expensive data only plan..

[shogunmark]

something else i just thought of.... has anyone compared wm6 and wm5 reg keys to make sure they fall in the same place? I would imagine they do... but one never knows... now i have some free time.. i will look at compare!

[shogunmark]

Here i made a new one and did verify that it works on wm6... this includes MEdia net, and My Isp using the apn of wap.cingular (not isp.cingular) and MMS settings... I also included the phcanoverbmp.dll (cingular 3G icon)

MrDsl.. feel free to crack it open with wince and take a look at how i did it.. hopefully this will help with your future cab developing.

[BigBen]

Thanks Shogun and MrDSL and others that are contributing on coming up with an "enhanced" Cingular CAB. It will be very welcome.

I have had the problem DSL mentions about Username and Password either not present in the Cingular settings CAB, or not sticking, through several ROM flashes in the last couple of weeks. Those !@#$ settings are so convoluted that I didn't know if I was doing something wrong or what, but it definitely seems to be the case that WPBear's CAB (thanks for the effort, Bear :) ) wasn't working for me.

A solid new Cingular settings CAB will be great.

Big Ben

[shogunmark]

hmmm, should i add the carrier dialer logo?

[TechBill]

Doesn't Cingular have a cab in the ext rom that set up those settings correctly?

[shogunmark]

Doesn't Cingular have a cab in the ext rom that set up those settings correctly?

no, they are set up in the initial 3 second customization via xml file, well except the mms settings, those settings are in a cab file.


**edit**
Also if someone wants me to add the pda connect settings then point me to them and i can add them as an extra option in the cab, then you can have your choice of all 3.. if not i will leave as is

[tulitre]

It would be cool if you could add the pdaconnect option as well.

[shogunmark]

It would be cool if you could add the pdaconnect option as well.

do you know what all the settings are?

[xultar]

The only one I see is a SMS setup. I went back in the wizard forum and grabbed a Cingy cab from there that worked until WPBear created his.

WPBears works fine...if the username and pword didn't stick I just typed it in and I have had NO connection problems.

I've been using slingplayer with no connection issues and sling is a huge connection user.

[eagle 1]

do you know what all the settings are?

APN isp.cingular

Username ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password CINGULAR1

that's it for the PDACOnnect Plan

THere is also

APN isp.cingular

Username ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password CINGULAR1

Supposedly, ISPDA uses compression

do you currently have these set up on your phone?? If so could you do me a favor and go to your registry key of HKLM/ConnMgr/Destinations in there you will see the different connections, click on those and give me the "DestID" it will be an entry that looks like this: {97626DCF-818F-4BE1-AC7E-77DA1B01F145}
or does someone have a cab or xml file already that has these connections?

[wpbear]

@showgunmark thanks for finishing the job. I planned on doing this after my vacation. Between business and vacation I have been in hotels nearly three weeks so no time to do much. The time I do have I flash the WMXL ROMs and test those with my current apps.

no problem... these are an easy task... just a few quick xml edits, import to a cab, and presto.... if all problem or questions could be this easy!

[rockky]

I hesitate to say, but I'm not sure it's just a matter of settings.
I have tried every variation of settings...all of which worked fine on my Live WM6..and still get to a point where there is still a refusal to reconnect.
last night I hard reseted and reran the BlckRom v1.2 again (which I really love,btw)... and manually set up medianet settings again......had the best day yet....all day w/no reconnection issues until a couple hours ago and BAM!..just would not reconnect short of a reset..and happened 2-3 times after that.
So..I'm just a bit lost short of ditching the rom.
Bummer.
I'll keep tracking the discussion though!

On the 8525 MEdia Net and My ISP is both set up with wap.cingular and WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM but MEdia Net is setup with proxy and My ISP is not setup with proxy. And the 8525 uses PDAConnect Plan but of course folks goes online and replace the PDAConnect plan with cheaper MEdia Net plan.


The isp.cingular is use for Laptop Connect Plans

[MrDSL]

Seems to work fine but in the Media Net and My ISP GPRS settings the 'Set IP header compression' should be checked off in both and its not..

Not sure how to fix that.

[merkman]

Okay, newbie to xda-developers. I apologize in advance for any stupid questions...

I'm a former Sprint 6601 and 6700 user that had crappy coverage when I bought a condo 6 months ago. So I switched to Cingular and a 8525, and things have been GREAT.

When I got the 8525, I told the folks on the phone that my unlimited internet with Sprint was $15. To switch to Cingular, I was cool with paying $20/month for the "Smartphone" Internet... but I wasn't willing to pay the $40/month they wanted for a PDA. So I had the sales guy make notes in my contract that I should NOT pay more than $20/month, and once I received my phone I confirmed that with the person who helped me activate my unit.

Okay, so ALL that said, which username and password am I probably using? Is there a way I can look it up? I assume I'm not using proxy settings, but I'm not sure about that... and I have no idea what MediaNet does. I know I can't seem to send pictures through a simpler phone interface like non-pocket pc users can. And I don't seem to have all the fancy video features that some folks do.

Once again, sorry I'm not sure about all this stuff. Would LOVE to go to WM6 on my Cingular 8525, and I think I can handle flashing my device. I've already unlocked the phone so other carriers sims work (tested this with a T-Mobile sim), and I believe I can use any Rom with the hack that is available for that.

Love the black look, and the idea of being able to do Video Calls & Voice Dial!!! :D

Could you send that cab from the wizard to me? I would like to compare some things.

thanks

[MrDSL]

I need to charge so I can't check anymore but I'm not sure if I saw any proxy settings for Media Net actually set also when looking at settings in connection manager.

[vp3G]

@ shogunmark & MrDSL:

While you're at it, you may want to take a peek at a lesser known cab provided by DeniaL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=315843) (see link in his sig line). I've used it without issue and it's far more concise than some of the others out there. While I'm certain it doesn't have everything y'all are trying to build into the one you're currently working on, I believe it does have the 'Set IP header compression' setting (IPHeaderCompression=1) MrDSL referenced earlier.

[wpbear]

Seems to work fine but in the Media Net and My ISP GPRS settings the 'Set IP header compression' should be checked off in both and its not..

Not sure how to fix that.

I looked into the file and it does set it to do that, are you sure it doenst select it for you, the reg key is set correctly in the cab.

[wpbear]

I got bored and motivated by this thread tonight so I looked at the file and I noticed it uses the AKU 3.3 Cingy 2.06 preconfig for its "design". Those of you familiar with this know the change in the proxy setup so you would not have to change back and forth for some proxy setups, basically it set the default connection on AKU 3.3 ROM to MediaNet with the proxy only for certain file types, it was meant to save time from going to connections alot to pick you desired conn, either My ISP or Media Net. But I found that some media sites like xstreamxm and others got confused anyway and wasnt a perfect solution, still required you to mostly use My ISP not Medis Net.

Anyway to get to my point, I looked at the older traditional setup from the 1.34 Cingy and other modem setups, and made a CAB very similar to Showgunsmarks. My change is that the My ISP,which I just call CINGULAR GPRS is the default. Also I inputed the OPENDNS servers to install aswell.

i wonder if the 3.3 settings is causing the intermittent connection that some people are describing... i havent jumped to wm6 yet as i am still in the process of with the help of others to make PTT work on wm6... hmmmmmm

anyone who is experiencing the dropped connections where you have to soft reset to get it back... could you hard reset and use wpbears new cab here and see if that solves the connection problem?!?

When I tried the WM6, I didn't use any "Cingular setting" cabs but entered the settings manually myself and I had the data connection issue where it would just mysteriouly die and only a soft reset would bring it back.

So far I suspect one of the two thing,

1. "Keep Alive" hack breaking data connection in WM6

2. Proxy settings, maybe a bug in proxy setup is breaking data connections. It seem folks that does not have data connection issues are not using proxy setup ie non-cingular folks or cingular folks not using proxy ie My ISP with wap.cingular or isp.cingular setups without proxy.

I went back to WM5 for now to make sure Radio 1.38 is not causing the problem and so far it been rock stable so I will put WM6 back on soon and test the 2 thing I suspected is causing the problem soon.

[MrDSL]

so far no problems here at all.

started fresh and loaded wpbears new cab from the get go and everything seems to work fine.

no problems with my exchange server so far either.

this is wonderful finally a working cab. I really appreciate it.


wpbear I opened up your cab and changed the default gprs to use isp.cingular for those of us with the pda plan.

I just used it on a fresh install and works fine so far. its attached so you can include it or combine it.

i wouldnt totally rule out radio 1.38, im still using the cing aku3.3 until we can crack the PTT to work on wm6... and i do have some intermittent data issues... this rom was solid with the trinity 1.35 radio and no data issues... 1.38 the data seems to stop responding sometimes and i get occasional lock ups..

it may have been there before i posted it, i cant remember... it didnt make any difference to me, but a lot of people dont give credit, and that makes some people upset, so i just wanted to make sure it was there.. like i said, it makes a happy board ;) it keeps from people posting nasty posts, i wont mention any names...

Hey guys! Thanks a lot for these. I've been fighting with an issue on my Wizard for a couple of weeks since moving to WM6. All pictures coming via MMS were being sized to 160x120 and I thought it had to do with Cingular not recognizing my phone with WM6 on it. djaladin saw my post in the Wizard forum and pointed me over here so I tried the second cab out in the first post. Presto! My scaled image issue is gone! Thanks so much for these!

Now a quick question (and not meaning to take this too far off topic). If I use the first or second CAB, can I call Cingular and give them a story and move over to the less expensive MEdiaNet package and off the PDAconnect?

Also, are these cabs good for WM5 as well as WM6 (I assume they are since Shogunmark indicated he hasn't moved to WM6 yet).

Thanks again!

yes, cabs are good for either... and as far as the data package... if you have your account set up online just log in and change it to a cheaper media net plan... or tell them you are borrowing a loaner since you lost yours, tell them a razr or something and have them knock it down to a media net plan..

It was I just decided to word it different so it was much clearer :-)

[akarandomjames]

What are the differences between WAP and ISP settings besides ISP being used for PDAConnect? Is that just Cingular's method of tracking who uses MediaNet or PDAConnect? If so, theoretically, you can downgrade to MediaNet Unlimited for unlimited data with no charges?

Can someone confirm that?

If theres really no difference in quality of connection between the WAP settings and ISP settings, then it would make sense for most 8525 users who are throwing an arm and a leg at Cingular for Unlimited PDAConnect to switch over to MediaNet Unlimited for unlimited data at half the price?

Also, do these settings affect tethering (Which actually requires an EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE LAPTOP CONNECT according to Cingular)? When you run Internet Sharing on WM6, you do have an option of picking what connection you want to use...so I assume maybe you can still use WAP but what about the dialup connection with #99*? How is that tracked?

Hopefully my questions aren't that confusing.

[seany187]

OMG Thanks so much for this, I was spending forever trying to figure out the stupid settings on WM6.
The first download worked great for me, other cab files ive been finding have not been working.

[wpbear]

Also my Cab # 2 makes you have Open DNS servers for quicker locating when getting a web page.

[walshieau]

i had a few moments and used the settings you posted above and created a cab.. although i dont have time to test it so i dont know if it will install properly or not, but here you go! Let me know if it works!

**edit**
removed this cab since i made a better one and to avoid future confusion

PM me your email addr, i have a Beta for you ;)

done deal man... hope this works as previously mentioned!! its always nice to have an idiot proof way to do things :D

I asked the question not because I'm being lazy, rather because I thought perhaps those who have been working so diligently on these cabs may have some insight as what significance these settings have.

suspendresume was used for Windows Mobile 2003 and 2003 Second Edition....

this told the OS to 'resume' a particular connection on 'Suspend' & 'Resume', however this isnt being used in Windows Mobile 5 or 6 :)

Guys,
i did load Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2.cab tonight and i can't go anymore to the web. I had the first version of wpbear installed before (running with WM6) and was great.
Data seems to work since i continue to sync with my Exchange Server. I am also able to listen radio via Resco Radio. So, i guess i have a DNS issue here?
any idea ?

Thanks,

Honestly the best way and only way I would suggest running the .cabs is after a hard reset. Probably not too good to install those especially after another data cab was installed earlier..

in the cingular rom, the mms settings are installed before the data connections... maybe we should change the cabs to have the pre-xml install the mms, then the post-xml install the data connections... weird, seems kinda backwards since the mms cab makes reference to the data connections, would have figured those need to be first! But then again.. one thing i learned from working for sbc/att is that they do the opposite of whatever seems logical..

[herve64]

Guys, i did reinstall the Cingular Default WAP Medianet MMS Settings.cab and everything is working correctly now (without hard reset).
I don't know if this will help you to troubleshoot, but ... if you want me to test the next version of your .cab i'll be happy to do it

[digzdadefn1]

I am getting "Error Synchronizing" every time I try to send and receive MMS using outlook. I have searched and found that several people have had this problem, but none of their suggested fixes seem to work for me. Is there anything I can do? Everything else is working flawlessly! Thank you very much for working on this cab!

Who do you use for your exchange server? Are you able to connect to your exchange from your pc?

[Scrog]

I'm using the 'old' number 3 option: PDA net with ISP settings. Working fine, syncing with exchange server well. Didn't with other set ups or medianet.

It is only when sending MMS. Sorry, I forgot to include that in my original post..

All I did was install Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2.cab. I am able to send MMS and receive them, but cannot use "send and receive" in outlook.

[vp3G]

Just checking in to say I flashed the latest LVSW (3/25-26) ROM and used cab flavor #2 (Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2.cab).

FWIW, I use DirectPush and my post-flash setup procedure was as follows:

1. Install server certificate.
2. Establish ActiveSync partnership ("Allow wireless connection..." unchecked).
3. Configure Exchange Server source.
4. Run settings cab referenced above (while still connected via A/S).

GPRS connection fired right up as soon as I disconnected from A/S. Done.

Thanks to all for your hard work on this!! :)

[pkley]

do you currently have these set up on your phone?? If so could you do me a favor and go to your registry key of HKLM/ConnMgr/Destinations in there you will see the different connections, click on those and give me the "DestID" it will be an entry that looks like this: {97626DCF-818F-4BE1-AC7E-77DA1B01F145}
or does someone have a cab or xml file already that has these connections?

Since I'm one step short of hardresetting to get my internet back, would it hurt to delete all the keys under \Destination and then try to install one of the cingular cabs?

[shogunmark]

well if you are one step short of hard resetting then definitely try it and let us know if that solves the issue... cause if you end up having to hard reset then it will restore whatever came with the rom... so it wont hurt anything.

[pkley]

Nope, (sigh)
Ah well, it just stinks that it was working and now it's not. At least my wife is getting used to me neglecting her...
It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't just wiped it and loaded all my programs last week! Oh and twice in the preceding day...had to check out LVSW!
About the only think I miss from LVSW is the orientation today plugin.

I have a similar situation as above. I upgraded to WM6 LVSW 3/20/07 Cingular version, and was quite pleased; everything seemed to work. After loading my PDAConnect settings manually (w/ OpenDNS) I was able to connect and sync with my Exchange server. When I attempted to go to Google through IE, it would hesitate while "Locating" and then give an error message saying the connection was interrupted (it wasn't, the 3G and/or H data icons were showing). I tried all sorts of things suggested in the forums and/or Wiki: various registry hacks, the Cingular settings .cab, etc. Finally I loaded the non-Cingular version, and my IE problem went away. I do prefer the Cingular customizations, however.

So, I am now in the process of loading the Cingular .cabs one at a time, and I've two questions: 1) Have I missed something? & 2) how do I execute the preConfig and ExtROM .xml scripts? :confused:

TIA,
denali

If you have the Cingular settings, i'll be happy to get them ;) Maybe you could post the Cingular .cabs if you have it.
Not sure if it's due to the new settings but my speed connection dropped from more than 700kbit/s before i apply the settings to 500 after ... and latency increased too.
Again, i am not sure it's linked, it could be a temporary network issue.. but...

Thanks,

Thank you Shogun Mark for your cab files. I have a 8525 from Cingular/ATT, I've upgraded using the HTC authorised file from the HTC site. The default settings were causing me some problems. The wap provision cab you made works great. I been having problems emailing pics through my yahoo email, but I installed your cab, switched my email settings to your My ISP settings, and now it works. I realize I'm new to all this, but this forum and wiki is a lot of help for a Newb like me. Thanks to you and all the phone tekkies here.

my aim is to enable the autodetect option

Thank you
