Unhappy anyone else on t-mobile uk that cannot connect apps through WnW??

hey there ive searched topaz thread and ive not really found an answer that has helped but i cant seem to connect to any apps which required to go online when on data connection (besides opera itsself) example the facebook app wen it goes to connect it just ends up erroring out and not connecting i was wondering if anyone else had this problem and managed to find a solution to it ive had the phone the first week its been out and its drivin me crazy having to either wait till i was in an area with wifi or not being able to recieve my emails on the go which i could do all on my TD1!

Working fine here on T-Mobile. Hope you manage to get it sorted as that must be very annoying.

If you can't get it working a glimmer of hope is that I read that they are looking to sell T-Mobile UK arm so maybe you can get out of the contract if they then change the t&c?

Have you turned off the proxy on your connection settings?

T-Mobile ave left a nasty impression on me.

There's a broken network cell in my area where only GPRS works, so you have to force the phone to connect through that and not 3G (3G connects, but no data will transfer), they refused to believe me, despite testing with a collegues handset and sim proved the same, and walking to the other end of town allowed 3G to work, and back came back again and it didn't, been like that for months. Tech support wanted to blame my settings / handset / anything but their hardware, despite me proving several collegues had the same problem.

I'm just in the process of moving my number to Three (Three and T-mobile are the only choice if you want a large data pack)

cheers mate it took me forever to relise that, yh i hate t-mobile sooo much but ive been with them since they where mercury one-2-one and have a relitivly good deal flext 35 wnw n 1 mobile tv channel for £22.24 pm with them so im sort of stuck there. t-mobile customer serivice is poor network coverage in some areas is shocking in your case have you requested a new sim which might help. ps beware of 3 they are pretty much another t-mobile in disguise but with worst contracts lol

Got a good deal on 3:-

£30 per month for:-
300 mins
2000 texts
2000 on network mins
free skype
3GB of data
Push email

0800 calls are free, and 0845 / 0870 is £0.15 per min. (T-mob sent me a text to say "in order to allign our charges these calls are now 40 pence per min"!!!!)


It's a 30 Day Contract, so I can leave if anything goes wrong.

I'll give 3 a go and see if they work for me, Only support I tend to need is if the service has a fault (which is where T failed me.).

Did removing the proxy help?

It sounds like I've got the same problem as you. I had a t-mobile Ameo before the diamond2 and it as very hit and miss, so much so that I gave up.

When my diamond2 arrived, I tried it with the Orange sim it came with, everything works as it should.

Popped my t-mobile web and walk sim into the phone, it won't get emails, occasionally goes online with opera but not always, won't download weather data.

I'm putting the t-mobile sim in the bin and using the Orange one as soon as it's ported my number.

I've tried for 18 months to get an answer but no luck so far.

I got my td2 and put the tmob sim im. At first I was getting the same problems you mentioned. I reset the network connections a couple of times and disabled the proxy. Then everything worked fine and has since. Very happy with it tbh now, awesome phone.

The Youtube app should start working if you just leave it to its own devices for a while.

The only problem I'm having is with Fring, it won't connect over Tmobile but is fine over Wifi. I guess it's because I'm on the cheapest WnW tarriff which I believe bans VOIP, so they've probably blocked Fring's servers.

Never mind!
