Just before I lob my Kaiser in for an N95.... - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Please bare with me while I whine on for a bit....
I'm on t-mobile. I've got a Kaiser (not a t-movile Vario). Can someone tell me how I can tell I'm using the HSDPA t-mobile network? Is there an "H" icon that shows itself on the status line? All I get is the 3G icon (I'm based in London... well, within the M25 anyhow)
Now.... I've also been told that to get my Kaiser to use T-Mobile's mobile TV service I need to swap out the original browser.dll for one that tricks T-mobiles web site into thinking I'm using a Nokia N95...... (dont laugh, I have a suspician I'm having my leg pulled too).... and it's apparently on this website somewhere.... and yes, I've looked but cant find it.
So, if all this dosent work, anyone want a nearly new Kaiser, cheap? or wanna swap for a Sim free N95 8GB?

Hi there
I have a Kaiser (actually a HTC Tytn II) on TMobile and the 3G icon changes into a H when there is activity on the connection - it stays 3G until you upload or download.
TMobile have recently stopped HSDPA usage with the lowest price Web n Walk, you now only get it on the more expensive options. Does this include you?
As for the TMobiles TV service, sorry I can't help you there.

I've got the £7.50 web&walk. When you say upload/download does that include just pain old viewing of webpages?

See if 'Settings' 'Connections' 'HSDPA' is checked?

you dont need to do anything to a vario 3 to watch the tv mine works fine. so id assume a kaiser would also

I think the reason you`re not getting it is because you are on the lowest priced Web n walk, you have to be on Web n Walk Plus, or Web n Walk Max. This was only brought in by TMobile in the last month or so.
..and yes it includes any web viewing/email etc.

Have you called T-Mobile? You might be on the right tariff, but I've heard people say they've called T-Mobile and had it switched on, much like international roaming.
It might be worth giving them a quick ring?

thats what I thought too, but there's obviously something different. I have come across some registry tweeks that apparently work.... but not on my Kaiser.
I'm onto T-mobile right now, they say HSDPA isnt available on my price plan (as I originally had a Nokia N73 which dosent have HSDPA).
I'm on hold waiting to see if they can tweek it so I can use HSDPA on the Kaiser..... fingers crossed!

I have read that they will sometimes activate it even if you are not on the appropriate tariff, it depends if you get a helpful TMobile Customer Service person.
Good luck

As far as I'm aware, HSDPA is part of the web n walk packages, and should be included in anything other than the cheapest option.

In reference to your T-Mo TV problem:
I don't know if this will help you, but with the Tilt on AT&T, you have to change a registry value when you flash a rom other than an AT&T rom for AT&T to recognize the device as a Tilt. Maybe you need to switch your registry so that T-Mo's servers recognize it as a Vario III and not a Kaiser or TyTN II.

now i work for Orange retail but actually have a t-mobile contract! lol (much better data plan!) now im actually on the lowest web n walk package and when i recieved my vario III in early november i questioned a friend of mine that works for t-mobile...he said it doesnt matter what package your on you just need to phone up to get HSDPA activated! ive done this and can clarify it works fine...

Im on Tmobile and have HSDPA working fine on mine, as for T-Mo TV use a Slingbox instead more choice and better value.

PLEASE HELP! Kaiser not working with T-Mobile UK

Hi,
I've just got my Tytn II and bought seperately a T-Mobile UK SIM to use it with. When I switch the unit on I get a warning message saying "Smartchip not provisioned MM#2". I can't then connect to the network- I just the "no service" message.
The phone detects all the available networks fine, and I swapped in an O2 SIM from my old universal, and it worked immediately- so the Kaiser is working fine.
I tried Googling the error without success, so you guys are pretty much my last resort... I see from this forum that some people seem to have it working on T-Mobile UK.
I hope it's something really stupid that I'm not doing! Does anyone have any ideas on this?
I've been reading these forums for a few years now, but this is my first actual post. I know if anyone can help, you guys can
Tim
I have my TyTN II working on T-Mobile fine. I just put the SIM card in and it worked.
Maybe you have an old SIM which is not fully compatible. How old is the SIM.
It's a brand new SIM, only arrived on Friday.
I'm waiting for another unlocked phone to try the SIM on to see if it is defective. THanks for the reassurance that yours is working- it gives me some hope!
So may be T-Mobile's reasons for delaying the Vario III were actually true!!!
Mine's working fine
Old SIM as well, around 18 months old!
I can also say that my T-Mobile sim is working fine and this is about 14months old, just put it in and installed my T-Mob 3g/mms setting myself and all is well.
Can browse the web receive push email and send mms no problem at all.
must be the new sim, try activating the sim on another phone first if it has not been activated yet, and then once activated and working, put it back in the kaiser. does seem very strange though.
Same here, auto-configure settings working perfectly!
Although it seems to have setup a separate connection for Picture messaging... has yours done that?! Can i just delete that and tell it to use the normal 3G connection? :S
Try T-Mob support
Either take it back to the shop or contact them via the website, I've found them quite responsive on the few occasions I've used them.

I found this on Expansys.nl site:
Real good phone, ... but nothings perfect
bij Anonymous - maandag 10 september 2007
Its the best ppc i've had, but not flawless like everyone loves to say. 1. The slider is implemented backwards. No, this is not just something trivial because the rotate screen button and the camera both rotate the screen wrong. Also its not convenient for right-handed people. 2. The stylus should drop in at the top, not the bottom. 3. There is no hardware control for the volume. 4. You have to buy an adapter to use regular headphones. 5. Google maps keeps losing the gps signal (although tomtom works fine). Also t-mobile can't take advantage of this phones 3g capabilities which is unfortunate. Every other review is going to say this phone is the greatest invention since god, but I just wanted to point out its not perfect. That said, I am still happy with my purchase and would recommend it.
PLease note the text in Red, what might that mean ??
Maybe it was referring to US T-Mobile, since it is supposed to use 1700 when the 3G is going live?
I haven't seen a lack of 3g mentioned for T-Mobile UK, but may be the Netherlands are different. My problem is more that I can't even get it to connetct to the network... I'm going to try the SIM in a different phone tonight and see if it's broken.
Churchill,
That is not true!
I use T-Mobile NL and subscribed to "Pocket Internet Totaal Plus" :
- Max 192 Kbit/sec download
- Max 32 Kbit/sec upload (if I am not mistaken)
- 19.95 euro / month
- Unlimited usage
My SIM card is very old, I have been using it since few years ago.
The T-Mobile NL 3G is working just fine.
I got the "3G" icon all the time and managed to test the connection with dslreports.com and got 144 Kbit/sec.
Yesterday I tested the internet connection sharing, so I connected the Kaiser to the internet and plugged it to the laptop.
It worked fine! The speed was constant 30 KBytes/sec (tested by downloading big file).
So, I confirmed you that T-Mobile NL is working fine.
PS: One thing that still puzzled me, why dont I get HSDPA (3.5G) connection??? The "H" icon. I tought that T-Mobile has HSDPA already.
Maybe if I subscribed to "Internet Totaal Plus" (1.8 Mbit/sec, 69.95 euro / month) I will get HSDPA ... but, it is toooooo expensive!

Gogol, thatnx for the reasurance.. I am right now on the Pocket internet Totaal woth 64kbps and once I prolong I want to take the Plus version for 19,95 since the first year is half the price.
I beleive that H icon shows only if you go to HSDPA speeds. I was able to reach those speeds of up to 1Mbps on my current subscription (pocket internet Totaal) because there was a whole in the ssytem by T-Mobile. If you get the Pocket Internet Totaal in T-Mobile shop (mind you onlyu t-mobile shop) you were able to just surf in HSDPA. That lasted about 10 months for me after which they capped the connection to 64 Kbps so I am a real unhappy man right now, so Once the Keiser is availbale by my reseller I am going to take the Plus version for 19,50 a month.....
Gogol,
Are you Dutch??
Original Issue fixed
Just a note to report that my original problem seems to be fixed. I just put the SIM card in another phone and it worked. Then transferred it back to my Kaiser and the error had gone.
I have no UMTS, but I'm pretty sure I just haven't found the right setting. Does anyone know if T-mobile UK has HSDPA yet?
Churcill, No I am not Dutch. But I live and work here in the Netherlands for couple of years already. Love the country
I can understand Dutch pretty much, but no speak
And you?

T-Mobile UK allows HSDPA although dependent on what handset you signed up for with them you may not have it enabled on your account. For example if you bought say a Vario II from them then this is now enabled by default on the account. You may need to speak to 150 to get it enabled.

I am using Vario II on T-Mobile UK, it DOES have HSDPA, I got the H icon. You need to ask them to activate the HSDPA service for you if they haven't done so.
Ah, I see .. no I am not Russian Gogol was picked out of nowhere
The Pocket Internet Totaal Plus (PITP) is quite nice, although the network latency is still pretty much high. Sometimes lagging for several seconds
T-Mobile NL is still the cheapest 3G provider, right? I havent checked around yet (will do after this).

hsdpa - how to get in to work on mew T mobile kaiser?

Just got my new Tmobile Vario III - re badged Kaiser. But how do I enable Hsdpa (I think that's what its called). Am in London where I have heard it works but no sign and nothing in manual either - do get GPRS and 3G. Any tips?
HSDPA works straight out of the box (AFAIK). When you connect to the next it says "Connecting to GPRS, 3G..." and if your in an area with HSDPA a little "H" will apear at the top. If not a "3G" will appear in the same place.
I'm on T-Mob in UK and have had HSDPA with a connection of just under 1Mbps, though recently I haven't had it for some reason.

Download KaiserTweak - see the thread at the top of this forum - there's a function on that utility to ensure HSDPA is turned on.
If the little H isn't appearing after that when you are downloading in 3G areas then you might need to check with T-mobile to ensure that you have access to HSDPA.
Not sure if I'm allowed to do this but there's a thread on another forum about this:
http://www.modaco.com/content/HTC-Kaiser-Kaiser-MoDaCo-com/260833/HSDPA-frustration-on-Vario-III/
Reportedly, HSDPA is now only offered on Web&Walk Plus - that does correspond with my recent experience since I didn't have it enabled until I upgraded to W&W Plus after which it automatically appeared without me asking...
If this is the case, I'm sure there are going to be complaints, but it really is consistent with the long-standing Web&Walk terms and conditions. The basic service was only ever intended to support light-weight web browsing and you were always supposed to pay the Plus premium before using your line to provide a mobile link for your laptop. Like many others, I broke the rules occasionally but now that I am making more serious use of my Vario III as the mobile data link for my laptop, I have gone legal and coughed up the extra few quid per month - it's still the best deal in town!

Same here I just upgraded from Web n Walk to the Web n Walk Plus package costs me an extra fiver a month but for how I use the phone it's well worth it.
im on standard w&w 7.50 per month phone, 150, and ask them to enable hsdpa, that all i did!
if they say no, phone and try again until you get someone, either clueless, or dont careless?
Apparently, since 19th November anyone one Web n Walk standard or the pay as you use service will not get HSDPA.
You need to be on Web n walk plus or Max.
Even if you call back a few times, they will put you through their tech support who have now all been instructed to deny you HSDPA.
Bad News, I'm going to complain about it.
Im on normal Web n walk - all i had to do was call T-mobile and request that they activate HSDPA on my account.
Boom.
Job done!
Is it really enabled?
OK.
I am currently on the phone to them for a second time. Both times have been told quite adamantly that HSDPA is enabled on my price plan which is the standard Web N' Walk.
I went into a bit of a rant telling them that there was no way that it was enabled and they have gone off to check with techies again. I'm guessing they are being told to say that as a standard fob off.
Will see where this attempt ends up.
Finally went through 3-4 customer service staff, a couple of first line techies all of whom told me HSDPA was enabled.
After finally insisting that they were still talking out their arses I got through to a proper techie who told me what everybody else has been saying about needing the upgrade to Web N' Walk Plus.
I then got in that lovely situation where I bought the upgrade from a shop (on their recommendation due to stock levels) and now have to go back to the shop and try and sort something out with the shop manager who will have to phone them to see what they can sort out. I am hoping that they are going to give me the upgrade for free, but we will wait and see. Will be extremely pissed-off if they make me go back to the store and don't give me anything.
The long and the short of it is that I doubt anybody is going to get it enabled anymore without upgrading. If I had bought it online or through the phone I think they would have given me the upgrade for free straight away. There was no way they were enabling it on the standard Web N' Walk for me.
I keep my fingers crossed for everybody who does have it and hope that they don't bring them all into line. I think if enough people complain as I have just done I think they'll probably enable it just to stop the barrage of phone calls.
Do your homework!
T-Mobile does NOT have a high speed data service. Your phone may show an H, but GPRS is all their network has. That's why they don't do business accounts.
Note the nationalities of the other posters -- T-Mobile in Europe does indeed have 3G. It's just T-Mobile USA that's behind for the moment; they're building up their US 3G network on 1700 MHz.

Maybe that's true in your neck of the woods, but in UK, they definitely have
HSDPA (with pretty good coverage) and also business accounts
As I said before, the lack of HSDPA on basic Web&Walk is only a significant issue if you are breaking the terms and conditions... Basic rate W&W was only ever intended to support informational web browsing and email on your phone or PDA - you were always supposed to pay the Plus premium for heavier usage. I'm sure many of us broke the rules sometime, but you can't be too surprised if they take steps to plug the loopholes. £12/month for unlimited internet usage through your phone is still pretty good compared with the competition - they certainly have similar headline prices, but check the terms and conditions (particularly their definition of "fair use")

Lucky you, I've now tried to call 11 times and got the same message each.
"No way Jose, unless you upgrade to W+W Plus."
If your account was created before the 17th October then it seems that they can simply switch it on on your account. After that date the option isn't there for them to enable. Which is what happened to me
Just to highlight a good point made elsewhere, unless you're downloading large files all the time it's perfectly possible to live without HSDPA. I'm on PAYG and only really browse/email; the most I'll pay is £30/month. To pay £42.50 for the extra privilege of HSDPA (if you have coverage) on WnW+ simply isn't worth it!

I totally agree with the sentiment here, if you only use your phone for email & browsing, the WNW is probably good enough. I pay for WNWplus because I connect my laptop to the phone & benefit from HSDPA where available.
However the price difference between equivalent WNW & WNWplus packages is only £5 per month, so I'm happy to pay it. I can't justfy to myself the extra for WNWmax - I don't need IM & skype etc.
Could someone just clarify - If I see an "H" in the data connection, does that mean HSDPA is enabled? (on UK T-Mob). Thanks
Yes it does

Does anyone here use there HTC TyTN II in Panama?

I am going to Panama for several months and am taking my TyTN II. I wanted some tips from people who are currently there or have been there on a few things.
What service is the best one to get?
What does the service cost for unlimited data and calling?
Did you use skype while you were there? Any problems?
Did you use GPS while there? What maps etc do I need to get?
Any and everything I should get to prepare my phone to do everything it does here in Panama.
Thanks

@bosstone
I would advise you to take another mobile phone ...not the KAISER!
The Panama Canal was not only established in Panama because of the smal land passage between the Pacific and at least the Atlantik. It was as well estabished there because it rains so often ....and the Canal needs a lot of water to run!
What I wanted to say is: The humidity is very very high in this area ...and the KAISER doesn't like it!
My personal experience was that my KAISER worked just 4 days in Panama. - totally loss - water damage
I cannot really give an advice witch mobile phone company you should use. For Europeans the best company is the in majorty Telefonica owned MOVISTAR, ...I think the only GSM - operating company in Panama on Band 850. ...and as I remember, they don't sell any special Data-prepaid! ...by the way: Makes it sence to sell a Data plan when GPRS has just arrived Panama?
About using GPS in Panama is to say:
There are in my knowledge no special maps you could use on any gps- coordinates related official distributed and supported software .....without GOOGLE MAPS MOBILE.
But first: To transfer the coordinates - dates is horrible expensive ....and second: If the dates arrive in your PocketPC you have passed the point it belows to, ...hmmm, unless you walk! *smile*
In other words: GPS-Navigation in Panama is not wellknown like in gps-maps supplied countries!
Well this is depressing. I just bought this phone specifically for my trip to Panama and most likely I will be moving there permanently. I just spent $500 for this phone because I though tit would be a great phone to have there. Last thing I want to do is take my brand new phone there and then have it get ruined. This really sucks.
I did find a GPS map for the area listed at http://www.panama-zone.com/
Does anyone else think my phone will just be destroyed by using it in Panama?
As far as the networks if I understand you correctly there is no unlimited data service in the entire country? This seems crazy if it is really true.
I am completely confused on what I should do now.
I was in Panama for a couple weeks back in November and I had no problem using my Tilt. I can't speak to the phone plans because I just used my AT&T plan and got wicked high roaming charges but it still worked fine. Skype worked ok when I was on wifi, as it would anywhere. The GPS worked fine as well, though I only used GPS Tuner to track a hiking path I took, and I didn't use it for vehicle navigation etc. In Panama City I had data, as well as in Penonome (the smaller town I was staying in) though it was only GPRS or EDGE, not HSDPA. So, as far as it goes, I don't think your phone will be destroyed, as long as you don't drop it IN the canal. Sorry I couldn't help more with your other questions.
I live in Costa Rica and my TILT work perfect with local provider !!!
It may work fine in Panama
I first used my unlocked Tilt in Panama in August with no trouble whatsoever (right in the middle of the rainy season). In late November though (which this year proved to be the tail end of the rainy season), I used my tilt for two days and it randomly started acting funny so I opted to reset... upon doing so, I got locked into the multi-colored SPL. I was convinced that my Tilt was done for good, but was able to flash a new SPL fix once I got home and everything is back to normal in the states. My father had his 3g iPhone with him, not only was his reception better and data faster, but even with me running Quick GPS, his GPS with Google Maps locked in on our locations a full 30 seconds faster. We were both on AT&T with the international roaming package and 20MB of data. I have the AT&T compatible radio installed, and I was concerned that this might have caused some of my problems since the network was switching in and out from Movistar to another all throughout my most recent trip. I don't know enough about radios to know if this can even create a conflict, all I do know is that my Tilt didn't survive the trip, and it wasn't until I was on the airplane home that I got it to successfully boot... i didn't turn it off again until I could flash a new SPL.
Now concerning Skype:
There's a lot of misinformation on the internet concerning VOIP in Panama. There's a lot out there that claims Panama's nationalized service (I believe it's now just called Cable & Wirelesss) blocked the ports commonly used by VOIP. I think that's old information. My attorney uses Skype in Panama City with no issues, panamanian number. I've had no problems using skype from the States to reach mobiles and computers in Panama and vice versa. I have a US skype number that still rings in Panama whenever it's called, so I'm pretty confident you won't have any issues. Even if you have problems, changing the ports is a simple enough enough process for even the most inexperienced users. In the few days I had before my HTC died down there, I did manage to use Skype mobile. It connected successfully, but as you're likely aware, the sound routes through the speaker so after my test call, I didn't use it again.
When it comes to Navigation on your HTC.... there is only one decent map that I know of at panama zone (linked above from another user) for mobiles, and it works only with Garmin (mobile XT) software... the map is pricey, and you won't find a pirated copy anywhere. Frankly, if you're considering an unlimited mobile data plan and expect to be in regions with good cell coverage, google maps works just fine.... I used it throughout panama city and pretty much all along the route to the southeastern tip of the azuero peninsula with no problems whatsoever. Most major roads will be pretty accurate.
On mobile service, I'll have to let you know. I'm moving to Panama in mid January for good. I've purchased an unlocked GSM phone from motorola just in case I have problems with my tilt again. I plan to start just using the prepaid sims until I can figure out the available packages, but in the past six months there have been major changes in wireless carriers in Panama. I am fairly certain that movistar, if they aren't already, will be offering an unlimited data plan. I'm still learning spanish, but if you can decipher it, check out http://www.movistar.com.pa/
If you're a big skype user, I do have a suggestion if you're looking to talk a lot in to people in the states. Since most prepaid mobiles have free incoming calls, I have set up skype to forward calls to my panamanian number when I'm not at my desk (in panama). Now when people from the states call my Washington DC skype out number, it rings in Panama (and if I answer at my computer, the call is free if it's not long distance for them to call DC) if I'm not there, it forwards the call to my mobile in panama and it's at a rate of 19 cents a minute... which is pretty good for calling a mobile number in Panama from the USA, though it does charges my skype account, not whoever is trying to reach me in the states. There are all kinds of options with call forwarding and multiple numbers, and skype mobile to avoid high call charges... a little annoying to set up, but with the savings it pays for itself in no time.
Digicel offers 1gb of data for 29.99 a month.
...and Movistar looks like 39.99 for the same: http://www.movistar.com.pa/site.php?id=5http://www.movistar.com.pa/site.php?id=5

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.

trinode cheers mate clearing the proxy did help thanks mate finaly i can use the fone and the services to its potiential now lol that doesnt sound like a bad deal your getting the appealing factor to your deal is the 30 day rolling contract
i'm still having problems with youtube. tried everything and it's still not connecting :S
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!

T-Mobile Setup on HTC Tilt

I called up ATT and got the unlock code for my friends old HTC Tilt, unlocked and placed my T-Mobile SIM card in it which has an active voice + text + web account on it, with the default ATT Rom on it I was only able to set it up to do voice and text, whenever I tried using the Data connection for like let's say IE it would bring up a page for web2go, even after Flashing the phone with different ROMs I found on this great site and went through the auto communication setup for t-mobile, and still it only does voice + text, any ideas?
Right now here are my specs:
HTC Tilt
R: 1.70.19.09
G: 25.83.40.02H
D: 3.TPCElite
HardSPL 3.29
Let me know if you need any more info..
Call T-Mobile Support
Same thing happened to me last night. I called them this morning and they fixed it in about 10 minutes.
ok cool, so I should just call them up and they should be able to tell me what to do? or do you know how?
thanks in advance,

There should be a cab file somewhere that sets it all up for you.
I called up T-Mobile and talked with one of their non-supported device technicians (they have an entire support dept. of these guys) and it was actually on their end, they had to allow the IMEI to use the Data plan, because basically the phone was like Hi let me use the Data on the Network and the network was like what's your name? and the phone was like I'm John Smith, and the network was like your not on the list sorry.
So.. yea I was talking with a very smart tech support lady @ T-Mobile, she even mentioned these forums, she said she recommends it to people that have devices that aren't supported by t-mobile she even wanted to know which ROM I flashed onto my Tilt =)
Anyways everything is good to go now, thanks everyone!

huh? I don't know what that means..
I have an issue. I just switched my entire plan over to the even more plus. On my old plan I had tzones and it works great for everything. Now I have the web2go. The problem is not getting the device to work on the internet2.voicestream.com, that works fine, but it is the battery drain. In a 4 hour period it will kill a full battery. When I remove the internet2 setting then the battery lasts all day. anyone else see this issue. BTW I'm using the JJblaster 23518 and radio 1.70.18.02
what do you all think, a bit odd for it to drain the battery that fast?
