I have an unlocked wallaby, with the special edition rom v 1.2, haha. Its still ppc 2002 [planning to eventrually upgrade..any tips would be nice for that..BUT thats now what this is about]
I'm attempting to set up my cingular gprs and media net on this, maybe im silly, and you cant do it..but i keep trying anyways, haha.
I tried this http://supportcingular.atgnow.com/cng/knowledgebase/KB367.html and it wont connect.
are there any sites [preferrable step by step] that has this info? I've gotten multiple different reasons for not connecting, haha.
that guide is ok if the operator settings are the same as yours
if not get your operators settings
a good way is using search in networking forum
for gprs AND <operatorname>
Thanks.
I finalllllly got it somehow. i did multiple searches on cingular gprs and media net and all, and finally i found one that works, so now i think i should be able to get mms, yay <3 i hope so, haha.

Don't know if it's just a problem with my phone or if anyone else is experiencing this, but my phone is getting frequent bluetooth disconnects, and wifi is inop and gprs can only go to t-zones website. My wifi is my biggest concerns but I did a search and could not find anything similar to my problem, because I have a mac address, my wlan works as i can find and connect to networks, but when i try to access the web the wifi disconnects
and the page says it cannot be found bad server or something like that. Never had this problem with 3.5.7a so i am not sure if something get messed up with the last flash and now just acting up. Also am on radio 1.50. running schaps 3.54b. Help please as i need this phone for work!!
I had a similar problem and there is a cab fix you need to SEARCH. I cant remember where I found it but its on this site.
I've searched and found nothing. Oh yeah forgot to mention I'm on tmobile. And i've tried lurchs cab setting for tmobile does nothing. Also tried custel's proxy remover cab, does nothing. Anymore suggestions??
Okay so i flashed back to cacahutes rom and wifi and gprs is working again. But i like the setup of schaps rom can someone please tell me if there is some setting that cacahutes has that schaps doesnt?? I'm thinking its something in the registry that's getting corrupted. Don't know where to look!
I unlocked my 8525 and flashed to the ATT wm6 found here in the upgrade section. When i try to connect i can go to medianet home page no problem. when i try to go to anything else like comcast home page it has a white screen and thats it. Like there isnt any info to load. I tried yahoo and it took me to its mobile page. But any site that isnt a mobile page it wont load. Got any ideas ? Im gonna flash back to wm5 but this sucks . what am i doing wrong? Please help!
What connection you use?
Using WiFi shouldnt have any issue.
My guess is that your connections settings actually are Wap based - this is causing the problem.
In case able to have straight GPRS connection everything should be ok
Best
That makes alot of sence. Thanks. Could u point me toward the gprs settings and how to enter them? Thank u very much.

Here you go man...I hope this is what you are looking for.
I recently had to figure this out as well when I tried the TNT 2.0 ROM.
http://rapidshare.com/files/42598341/wpbear_Proxy_Folders.cab
Just install the CAB file to you phone and you should be good to go.
Hey thanks! Ill try it when i get back in town. Is that cab the gprs settings?

Another issue is that most AT&T based ROMs have the proxy enabled by default. Run the disable proxy program (or edit the connection setting to not use the proxy) and see if that helps.

That's because AT&T wants you to access the Internet though MediaNET connection. If you are using MediaNET, you need proxy. If you access OpenDNS or just use some MyISP settings, you will want to disable proxy. It is a mismatch of connection and proxy that does it.

Thats what i thought. The settings for medianet , gprs , and open dns should be a sticky.

Of course you could just run THIS LITTLE CAB FILE and have it set all the settings for AT&T for you!
(Not mine. WPBear posted a Cingular Settings CAB file a long time ago. This one came a bit later and was posted IN THIS THREAD
After pulling out a few hairs !
I finaly took the sim out of another att phone and the internet worked ! SO i got another one of my phones and put in the sim and it worked again ! Now knowing that all this time it was our fearless carrier That had things not right on their end. I called ( for the third time with one visit to the att store ) and got someone that knew what they were doing and it worked. PFFFFFFFFFFFF!
Such is life. Thanks guys for your help.
I bought a 8525 off ebay and the wi-fi is not talking to my local network. Essentially it will connect to a secured network but you cant pull anything up from IE. You can see unsecured networks and can sometimes connect to them but pull up nothing in IE. I have tested it every which a way from home and out at a friends business location and not getting any good results..
Here is the version info:
rom 3.57.502.1
rom date 7-10-07
radio 1.48.00.00
proto ver 32.81.7020.20h
I see links on here for different versions but I am not sure which one will get me to WM5. I am experienced with a lot of Internet things but this is not one of them. I just want to have a regular phone that can get wi-fi access and all the normal extras.
Also, should I go to WM6 after I get 5 working?
thanks
found 1 fix....I disabled the proxy which seemed to allow the internet to work.
since the bluetooth and usb are acting weird i had to email myself a file to show the extended ROM.....
not sure where to go from here to get back to wm5 or even 6.
Is it possible to use ICS with wifi connection instead of cellular connection? Would be useful for a makeshift wireless adapter if your regular NIC or wireless NIC fails.
It seems that even if I have a wifi connection already going and then I launch ICS and connect, it still tries to dial out and use the cellular connection. You would think if it can share cellular data it could share wifi data just as easily but maybe im missing something.
Back in the early days of WiFi internet sharing the private interface was changed to WiFi with a manual registry edit. It might be possible to change the public interface to USB instead of defaulting too the cellular radio. It would probably take a fair amount of troubleshooting, but I'd think it would be possible. I think the entries were at HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing. Might be a starting point...
Search for WMWifiRouter
WiFiRouter
WiFiRouter works by making your ppc into a virtual access point. Then you can share the internet through it.
Last time I looked however, the author had withdrawn the program from circulation at version 0.91. There must be some problems with it because the author indicated that he would release a new version once he ironed out some bugs. If it is not back in distribution yet, you might be still able to find it on a torrent site. If not, PM me and I will send you the cab. Some of the cab collections at ppcgeeks ftp have it inside too. One good collection to check is Alex's.
I have used it and it works.

wmwifirouter is not what he's looking for. That is still using your phones internet. He wants to see how he could use the phone as a Network card, using the wifi connection, as oppossed to the sprintpcs connection.
I too would be very interested in this happening, if anyone knows of a way please tell.
ok, but why ??
Why would you actually want to do this anyway ??? I will look into it but it makes no sense when a USB WiFi dongle is $30 or so and does not run your phone down to use it, why would you want to use your phone as a very expensive USB WiFi card ??? Maybe I am missing some golden benefit ????
I dont get it either, but he did say in an emergency if your wifi went out.
Thank you for the responses.
Yes, it would be useful if your wireless nic went out (or regular nic for that matter) just to have something to use for the moment. Or maybe you brought your computer to a friends house and hes out of ports or you dont want to run 50ft cable to his kitchen table
But the titan has wireless, it has internet sharing, why doesnt the wireless show up in the list of available networks? I'm not saying its an all important feature but it would be yet another cool thing your phone could do.
i looking to use my mogul as a wifi access point (sharing Spint Vision thru wifi)
i tryed the procedure to mod the registry to enable it but i cant get it to work.
anyone know the exact procedure for the mogul
btw i also checked out WMWifiRouter...looks like it's no longer free
I also wanna know
Look the idea is simple. So where is the phone ICS telling it to use the celluar line and not allowing the option of the wifi?
Pls any one contact me. Its a cool feature for a phone

I bought software called Walking Hotspot, which essentially turns my Mogul/Titan into something like a Mifi, sharing my cellular data with my laptop. Otherwise known as tethering.
I only use it for emergencies because I am not sure if Sprint can tell that I am tethering. I believe if Sprint detects unauthorized tethering they will charge 4 cents per kilobyte of data .. which is very harsh!

Hi guys =)
right now I'm in Azerbaijan Republic and i am using the local mobile operator Azercell here.
i went to their office and they gaved me the gprs internet settings for my vibrant.
but the problem is that i cant log in to internet with programs like Skype, Youtube and android market. however the web browsers like opera and native browser of android works in internet very well.
i dunno how to fix this problem =(
i already tried to reinstall programs, restart my phone but none of these progams wants to work.
they say that i dont have internet connection.
but i know that i have it cos the web browser works!
Does anyone knows why this happening?
and how can i fix dat?
Thank you in advance!
P.S.
my phone is unlocked with unlock code that i bought online. so i never did any system changes to phone
Well, Youtube, Skype etc won't work with GPRS. GPRS is like dialup network...it is too slow.
oh thank you =)
i already found out what was the problem )
and its not important anymore cos i'm finally going back to US and T-mobile =P
P.S.
by the way, you'r right, i just fixed this with activating the normal internet to my number. (i called the operator and they did it for me)
Wow, you actually bought an unlock code for the vibrant when there is a free app that can unlock it?
yeah, I couldnt figure out how to use that program.
i am too noob for dat =P
