T-Mobile MMS/GPRS Question

[hiimcliff]

For some reason I've done this a thousand times but its not working this time. I'm pretty sure I've set this up right but its not working. 1st question: Is it possible to send MMS messages through 'internet2.voicestream.com'? It works through 'wap.voicestream.com', but then GPRS/EDGE wont work through that, it will only work through 'internet2.voicestream.com'. In addition to that, the auto switch isn't working for me. The MMS is trying to use 'internet2.voicestream.com' and the GPRS/EDGE is trying to use 'wap.voicestream.com'. 2nd question: Is there a way to set this up MANUALLY, without a provisioning cab? I hate those things, they add in other customizations that I don't like or want.

I've been using the T-mo cab since day 5 (days 1-4 I was racking my brain trying to get MMS to work) and it configures the connections as follows:

-Use internet2... under "My ISP" (or "T-Mobile US" in your case)

-Use wap... under "My Work Network" and change the "Connect via:" setting under MMS settings appropriately. Also, proxy settings are enabled for this connection ("This network connects...." and "This network uses..." both checked, proxy server blank, and under advanced settings: WAP server is: 216.155.165.50:9201)

-Network management (under the advanced tab of connections) => "My ISP" in the top, and "My Work Network" in the bottom.

The autopick within a connection never seemed to work for me, but the above works fine. In order to send an MMS, you must first disconnect from your GPRS/EDGE connection (alternatively, MMS will be the first to connect when recovering from a dropped data connection).

Hope that helps, if not just run the provisioning cab...hell-of-a-lot easier and I don't see what "other" things are added, all it does is set up the network connections and all the settings, nothing more, nothing less. Filename of the one I've been using for quite some time is T-Mobile_USA_Internet_UNI_SA_V2.0.CAB

on the contrary. when you open the cab you find all sorts of new favorites, changed home page, setup.dlls, and other customizing crap.

i've tried your way in the past. it does work. but i also know there is a way to get the auto pick to work. it has worked in the past. i just cant figure it out again.

Dunno which CAB you've been looking at, but the one I use has 4 files: an XML file for network settings, registry settings file (for MMS), and Check/Recheck executables for installation. No changes to favs, home page, etc...

The is the same one I've been using since grabbing from I-Mate's website back in Oct. '05.

well the ones from tmobile's extended rom do. and quite simply put, i dont want to use a provisioning cab.

now the question at hand is... has anyone gotten the auto pick to work with manual configuration and not with provisioning cabs

Odd wap.voicestream.com works fine for me for my edge connection. Makes it real easy to send an MMS no dropping connections or anything. I've used the above mention method using two different settings before works fine but not the autopick method.

So I have the 5.99 a month WAP plan... when I used Faria's WM5 Beta ROM with the Carrier Configuration Tool on the phone's first run, and selected USA T-Mobile WAP, I was getting the whole internet, mail, and everything from the $30 plan.

It's still in my Extended ROM, but I can't make the T-Mobile WAP setting run on it's own, says unsuccessful. I could never get the program to work after the first run of the program after the hard reset. I would love advice to keep taking advantage of the full internet for 5.99. I really struggle with the Connections setup because things are so redundant, spread out, and confusing for me. A cab or advice for doing this would be great for me.

Thanks a lot in advance!
