Did you manage to sort this out?

I've had a Cingular 8525 since Jan. of last year, and it worked flawlessly. I was interested in updating it to Windows Mobile 6, and posted a few questions on the forum under the Windows Mobile 6 forum for my device. However, as of recently the phone started to just go totally white when I would try to use the phone after pulling it out of my pocket, etc. I knew this was a common issue with the 8525, and a hard reset usually solved the problem with no issue. However, it kept happening more often. Sometimes even a hard reset wouldn't help. So, I called up the warranty division at AT&T and they agreed to send me a new AT&T 8525. I got it in the mail today. Great. New phone. I'm happy about that for sure, because the white screen issues won't happen anymore.
Here comes the problem. I'm sure most people (if not everyone) know that if you don't have any data plan on your account with Cingular/AT&T, the original Cingular 8525 would allow you data access if you set it up correctly. My old 8525 connects to the Internet, and I don't have a data package, and never have. I never get billed for it, and I've been doing it forever. My replacement 8525 when setup with these settings that I've been using fails to work. PIE will connect to the network, but it locks up at "Locating..." and then eventually spits and error that the remote computer disconnected.
As much as I hate to do it, I want to downgrade the AT&T firmware on the replacement phone they sent me back down to the Cingular firmware. Currently, the firmware I have on the old 8525 is ROM version 1.34.502.1, Radio version: 1.16.00.00. Is there any way to do it to my replacement 8525 with ease? I searched around and didn't find much step-by-step information, so if someone could kindly post exact instructions for me, I would greatly appreciate. I would be more than willing to search around some more and learn as much as possible about the process, but I really want to get this completely working with no errors before the weekend is over. Thanks.
Check THIS GUIDE.
Thanks for that info. Sure enough, after following the instructions you provided, I'm successfully down to my firmware version I had on my old 8525, and my data settings work perfectly. However, I have a different radio version, which is now 1.40.30.00. On the old 8525 I had the 1.16.00.00. Is this an issue?
I wonder if you were just encountering the bjilt in proxy in the newer roms? In the newer roms, to connect via isp.cingular, you need to disable the proxy. programs/proxy manager/disable proxy.
How are you getting free data?
How did you get att to warranty a ten month old device?

I'm getting the free data in conjunction with a feature I have on my account that is a legacy feature. So, even if I told you, you most likely wouldn't be able to get it added to your account, to my knowledge.
Thanks for the information, but I did try all variations of the different proxies and the APN names, but nothing worked. A friend of mine that works for AT&T just said to flash down, so that's what I did. All working now
Well, according to AT&T, my device was under warranty for 1 year, so they shipped me a replacement unit. I'm sending the old one back just as soon as I restore my stuff from my old device onto the new one.
Is this a normal thing to happen??
I have a htc hero, unlocked on O2 UK and i can not get on the marketplace at all even though i have setup a google account with the browser and everything.
Does seem strange to me.
I have moved from a HTC Diamond, and im loving this this phone, this is the only strange problem i can find,
I have read that i sometimes matters if google has registered the carrier's or something. Is this the case with O2
If you have this phone and you are on O2 let me know your experiences
Thanks
I also have an unlocked handset on 02 UK, but the market works fine for me.
hmm
Wonder why its not working for me then its nothing major ill just upload from my laptop. Strange ay any suggestions would be good
message i get
This maybe a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data access
But my internet connection is fine works with my pop addresses and the browser fine strange
Did you sign in with your google details when you started your phone for the first time? Some people have had problems doing it at a later date. My mate did a hard reset and then it worked (by using the first time wizard).
Have you tried a hard reset?
hard reset
No not done a hard reset I was thinking along similar lines as you guys series a software bug there.
I don't really need it and can't be bothered doing a hard reset just yet ill keep it in mind though for when I do though cheers peeps
Market works for me too on a Sim Free Hero on my o2 contract sim.
I've tried searching around, but I can't seem to find an answer. Back when the Virgin Mobile ICS ROM leaked, I mistakenly flashed the firmware along with many users. Later, somebody came up with a fix for the connection issues, etc. I did that fix, but it never changed the carrier text on the lock screen back to Sprint. Is there a way I can permanently change it back to Sprint? I've seen ways to do it temporarily, but if you flash a new rom, it'll say Virgin Mobile again.
I want to see if I can sell my Evo 3D soon, but I'm afraid people would freak out if it says Virgin Mobile... Any ideas?
There was a partial fix which you may have done, this link leads to the complete fix.

For about two weeks I have not seen a 4g connection on my phone. I've tried multiple roms and even going back to stock and still no LTE. I've tried toggling back and forth from airplane mode, taking the sim card, and just simply rebooting the phone but every time it doesn't even attempt to connect to 4G. I've tried both Global and LTE/CDMA settings under mobile networks. I do get 3G with data with no problems. I do have the Network Signal app which tells me I am connected to EHRPD and I seem to be stuck on it. I called Verizon tech support and they told me the only other two things I can do is replace the sim card and do a factory reset. I asked them to send me a replacement sim card so I will try that first.
I have two questions:
1. Is there any issues with doing a factory reset on the stock side considering I'm rooted and have roms loaded on slots 1 and 2. I wouldn't think there would be, but wanted to be safe before I do something like that.
2. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?
Thanks for the help in advance
I'm having a similar issue. Side loaded the JB update, worked like a champ, rebooted a few days later and lost 4G. Verizon has told me to nuke and pave, which i've done multiple times but no joy.
I have the same issue....have you found a fix for it yet?

Finally, after months of waiting I have received (a broken package) my Omate today. I have a hugh problem with the simcard I think. I have inserted a KPN (local carrier) card in the slot. I have booted my Phone, I had to put my pin for card in en clicked ok. But nothing after that is working from mobile signal or mobile data. The wifi is working. This my whole idea of the platform. I searched the forums, but didn't find anything. Anybody an idea? Else my (I have a windows Phone) watch is really disapointing...
Thanks

Since he had to enter his pin after rebooting, his sim is being detected and so is inserted correctly enough for that anyway. That leaves him with APN issues or radio/antenna incompatibility or incorrect assembly as possibilities to check into. Some TrueSmarts arrived to owners with the antennas either not connected or grounded against other metal components. Yes, you have to open the back to check that.

Thanks, Factory reset was the solution. The problem now have after two hours playing with it, put in the charger (with 10%), that is screen is black and doesn't come up anymore. I am really disapointing in this smartwatch. From the beginning I have problems with charging, when I charge I have to reboot and now the watch is dead..... great to spent money like this. Anybody else has this issue with the watch? I see a lot of people with blackscreens.
I have inserted even the second battery, but in for 2 hours (don't see any charging things) in the loader, but nothing happend....:crying::crying:
The charging circuitry and logic on the TrueSmarts is reportedly defective at the design level. Omate was having so much trouble with early 1.3 GHz TrueSmarts overheating during normal use at one point that they locked them down to 1 GHz to reduce the self-destruction and return rate.
Might not have been enough.
Meanwhile, there have been a number of reports of the charging cradles being or going bad. Even inside the watch there can be issues with the battery contacts not contacting, both for charging and for powering the watch. Some people have resorted to adding a paper shim between the battery and the back cover.
