I've noticed a lot of people having problems being with T-Mobile and having the new 6.1 ROM being used on their Dash. Now even though I don't know the answer or connection settings to get this to work, I though I'd take the liberty of starting a SINGLE thread about this known issue, so our friends don't have to go digging through the threads to find what they need.

I've tried to update the GPRS and Proxy connections to what they were before I updated, but there is no "E" in the top right corner. When I try to use Windows Live or any other data service, then the "E" pops up in the upper right and soon after, 2 arrows signifying a data transfer shows up, but nothing ever happens and it times out.

Has ANYONE gotten their Data Connection with T-Mobile to work with this yet? I'm going to call T-Mo to get the settings, but I though I'd check here first. I'm not payin' $19.95/month for nothin'.

First, go to Settings > Connections > Proxy and delete everything. Then go to Settings > Connections > GRPS and delete everything, then add an item:
Description: Tmobile Data
Connects To: The Internet
Anything that says DNS: 0.0.0.0
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
Leave everything else blank.

Then configure another item called Tmobile SMS, with the only difference begin that it connects to "Wap Network"

Did this work? If it does not work the first time, restart and try again. It works for me :)

Got it working. Thanks for the help! I had alternated between those 2 settings to try and get everything working. Never thought of just adding both of them. Duh!

Your welcome. To be honest, I did not know that you had to have them both configured - I have just always done it that way because thats what the TMobile site told me to do. Now I know they both have to be configured :) You have just saved me a future headache :p
