Are you using 216.155.165.50:8080?
If so, then that's strange... unless t-mobile closed the hole in your area...
Either way, a third party ROM is always a good thing... unless you have the patience to go around and properly cleaning the wing ROM. (The WING ROM isn't that bad, it's just badly cluttered. My clean ROM is based on it.)
I went through a similar situation 2-3 weeks ago .... took about a week for everything to get back to normal.
Yea I'am using that proxy IP...i think ive like tried everything lol...I live in NY so idk if any1 thats around here can acutally connect using tzones...
NextPiMp...you say you had similar problem...but its now fixed??...did you do anything yourself to fix it or it just started working all by itself...the thing is i dont really feel like waiting 2-3 weeks for it to start working cause if it doesnt work by then im kinda paying for T-zones for nuttin ( although its 6 bucks it just feels like a waste )
Ivanmmj...yea i know what you mean....I might just flash my ROM for the hell of it...thanks guys
Anymore similar incidents or ideas / opinions...if you guys would share i would appreciate it.....thanks guys
I recommend getting Pocket ToolMan v2.0.21, then use it to set all three Connections Setting (T-Mobile Data, MMS, Modem) to Always On. This help with troubleshooting identify you have your t-zone setting correctly or if it's just not connected when you troubleshoot. I click on the Edge icon and it will show you that all 3 is connected.
so as i have posted b4 with my problem
the data just stoped working
i fianlly figured out what the problem was/is again
the new v of im+ 4.53
after install and disconnect of it
i no longer have any data function
im uninstalled no change
emailed them about it..
im thinking some sort of reg problem?
any one of your wing brains know how to fix this?
I never unistalled IM+. I just reflashed with a new ROM and installed it. I suggest you do the same. If you're running the stock T-Mobile ROM, you'll be MUCH happier anyways.
It may be, bc the moment IM+ stops using the data connection, it tells the phone to disconnect it. Try going to the comm manager before and after you run IM+ and see if the data connection is open before and then check it after. The program might just be closing the data connection and you just need to reactivate it.
Also, if you're convinced the problem lies with IM+, go to their site, and see if there's something in their forum or report it.

Personally, I use PALRINGO for instant messaging.
ok, well on a fresh restart of the phone [power cycle] data connection is greyed out. soit seems data is disabled now
further more, if i try to connect right now, and it trys and fails, i dont get calls.. so i have to restart..
last time this happened i flashed up to open touch and still had the same problem
so how do i get the data connection active again, with out making my wing fly into a wall
in commanager "data" is allways greyed out!!!
it is only available for DISCONNECTING.
i don´t know why but it was like this all the time. also with wizard. no way to establish a connection manually. only by using IE or any other gprs-needing program.
yea i noticed the its greyed out after, this is annoying
i emailed shape services - waiting for there mail back now
any one have a install cab for the older version of im+
the one b4 they added myspace being 4.53 [current]
i want to try to set back one version and see if it works
but i dont think it will bc PIE will not connect - with having that totally removed from the phone
as i said this is the 4th time this has happened now and really dont want to go to my 5th repalcement wing..
installing the htc home 5 and black theme has gotten annoying so many times lol
BUMP so people can help me i really dont want to go for a 4th replacement
Damn, you've had to replace your phone four times?

for this same thing every time
data stops working
they send a replacement
atleast some good has come from this. the first time i had to ship the phone i went ot the local ups store, the 2nd time it happened i went and they know me already - had a help wanted sign, filled the app out and got the job
so thanks to defective phones i got a new job... which will be nice when it comes to having to ship the this one back when i get my next replacement..
^Wow. An act of God maybe then cuz these phones are of high manufacturing quality.
Ive had to replace my Wing 4 times since I bought my first one in June.
MMS wouldn't send at all
TouchScreen stopped working
Earpiece stopped working
and I can't remember why it was replaced the other time.
yea on my 4th. im gonan try opentouch and pray. if not the wings going for a flight...
no one has any clues to how to fix this with out a replacement again!?!?
i really dont want to spend another 3 hours on with pda tech for them to say the normal oh its the network sorry, blah blah , ok repalcement
Are you running stock rom? or have you upgraded?
last time this happen i was on stock - went to open touch 2.4 didnt change anything.. so i ruu'ed back to stock b4 i sent it back
it happens on stock..
and stays with any upgrade i do
I dunno man. hard to say without being there personally. The Stock Rom sucks, and on top of that Tmo blocks ports and **** ...
When you installed Touch IT, did you run the network wizard to set up the correct settings?
yea did the whole 9 yards and nothing... phone just ahtes me
i would just go for a sidekick but i went n spoiled myself with the touch screen [this is my first] and i dont think i can go back to something so simple
just need a wing that will work and stay working
I'd say go with the exchange I guess.

I know man, I've been there.
what up yall! My ATT tilt died a few weeks ago (flex cable went bad, decided it was time to move on) so i got a G1 from my buddy that had a broken digitizer and LCD. ordered the parts online and got it put back together today. few questions though.... it seems that about the bottom 1/4 inch of my touch screen dosent respond....its brand new and the rest of it works fin...just the small strip that seems to not work. any ideas? also t mobile are assholes...i cant get them to unlock it but i will work on that one...im quite sure that answer is on here. Also...do i really need to get a data package or can i choose to keep my phone from constantly connecting and updating my gmail and other apps? thats the reason i continue to get HTC is because i think data plans are silly when everywhere in america has WiFI....i think thats all for now...and ive been a member on here for quite sometime but this android mess is totally different. lol. thank yall!
That 1/4" at the bottoms sounds like a bad digitizer. =/ *Most* likely not software. But you can check by flashing a new ROM and if its a software problem, the new ROM will override whatever was causing it not to work before.
You can get it unlocked for $20 from one of many unlocking websites, just google it. You can't get it free anywhere other than T-Mobile sorry to say.
You don't *need* a data package, I don't have one. There are applications that can disable your data connection except for when you need it (i.e. MMS). Or its a built-in widget with the Hero ROMs.
Unless you have a rooted ROM, you will be required to use your data to even use your phone for the first time as it requires you to sign in to your Google account, but doesn't give you the option to use WiFi. But honestly, I think this phone is crippled without a data connection even if you don't use it all the time, I'm currently waiting for my current plan to end to sign another 2-year contract with data. But its up to you, its certainly still usable with enough WiFi connection points.
darn....its not very fun to take apart...plus i have to wait even longer...im currently using an old school , non color green screen nokia probably digitizer and not some random flex cable along the lines? maybe the black one? i guess there wouldnt be any way to check without replacing. and im not real addicted to any apps or anything, just mainly want it as phone/organizer. im a studennt and have wi fi at the house and at school, and every bar i go to has wi fi so i think im covered =) just making sure i could regulate it so it dosent pull and jack my bill up. if i were to flash a new rom, wouldnt that unlock it....and can you still downgrade it to rc29 when you dont have a t mobile sim card....or rather is there any other way besides adp or should i just go ahead and learn how to use it...seems a bit intimidating to anything ive done on a WMo phone.
you can use apndroid to block data from being used accidentally
flashing a rom will not unlock the phone.
Yes you can downgrade to RC29 without a tmo card
mmmk. so rooting and flashing a HTC rom wouldnt do it? if im correct i either have to go through t-mobile or i have to pay like 20 bucks so i can use it with ATT?

You can root without data. Just activate wifi at RC29 when trying to sign in

Rooted ROMs usually have an option to just skip signing into Google don't they? I know they have that for Hero for sure, but I was pretty sure they implemented that to all the cupcake/Donut ROMs too no?
Basically, you'll only need to use that with RC29. And if you do need to sign in and don't wanna use the work around, I would just go ahead and use the data, its only a few KB of info I think (I've never actually measured it, but I very small amounts on my bill even if I do use it to sign in, also using ATT btw).

all ROM's based on adp (and most modded tmo) have the option to skip (at least im pretty sure)
He just wants to activate his phone without data, which would require him to get down to a root level rom (RC29)
after he logs in, he has the option to root or wait for the OTA update if he wants to stay stock
if he wants to try to use his data, he can try but it doesnt always work (it did for me at first, but not the next few times)
ok so update... believe it was a bad digitizer...sending it back monday for a replacement so a few more days without the new toy) I got it registered to my Gmail and everything, and im currently waiting on my unlock code, so that is squared away. now...new questions.....
1. can i not just uncheck the auto sync and all the other data options or do i have to run adp? to make sure it dosent stay connecting and updating my mail and apps?
2. what positives do i have with rooting/flashing? obviously most of you probably have gone that route, and i really enjoyed flashing with my Tilt and having the newest WinMo, but it was always at the cost of it either being buggy or somethings not working. i know this can be searched but i want the simple answer if yall dont mind
3. i also noticed that the only thing so far that dosent work, is the camera/camcorder. keep in mind i got this phone with a broken lcd/digi. so there may have been other problems but i couldnt tell untill the screen was replaced. could it be i put it back together and missed a cable/contact for the camera, or could it just be software related?
...for now i think thats all the problems i have stumbled across... Thanks you all you are making this very easy for a Android Newbie!

1. That would stop just contacts, calendar, and gmail not all of the other apps that come with the phone
2. Rooting is definitely worth it, loving my hero rom
3. If your on RC29 there is no camcorder, but if not then it's definitely a hardware issue, when I was on stock everything worked fine
Just FYI: the unlock code is phone specific, so if your getting a replacement, the unlock code wont work on that one if the code you got was for the other.
1) If you want to disable data, download and run APNDroid. You can turn off autosync if you want but data will still be used.
2) Rooting has lots of advantages. Themes, faster updates (i.e youll get the latest android before its released OTA) more modifications, use of certain apps such as Ad-Free, etc. cooked android roms are more stable than winmo cooked roms, and you have the option between stable/experimental
3) if it was stock, its probably a hardware error
so could i potenitally not have any apps and not have a data pull problem? or it seems as though just rooting and flashing to hero (would you all go hero, or newer 1.6 stock rom, or custom 1.6?) and ill be taking it back apart to send the bad digitzer back, so ill check the ol camera out. still is stock T-mobile 1.5....no rc29 or anything....yet...
if you still have 1.5, you can use the 1 click root
im using hero right now, but i switch between hero and cyan using the switchrom script
the g1 on stock android will still use data even if you have everything disabled. the only way to completely disable it is by changing the apns, or by disabling mobile data on a hero rom
what was wrong with the camera? give a little more detail so we know if it really is a hardware or software problem
Quiccest way to get unlock code..just tellem you are goin to the uk or sum and you are in need of unlocking since u will be on there network for a while.. Usually that works!
I know this topic is kind of frowned on, but bear with me, I'm doing it for legitimate purposes.
I just picked up a used sprint CDMA hero for use on my Carolina West plan. I rooted the new hero, put it in diag mode so that I could manipulate it with CDMA workshop 3.5 and Qxdm. My wife has a Carolina West Hero, so I was able to pull the PRL off of it and load it to my Sprint Hero. I also copied all of her NAM and EVDO settings to my phone and set my MSL/SPC to match Carolina West's, while giving it my phone #.
At this point, the phone's pretty much provisioned for Carolina West. So, I take it to one of their retail stores and they refuse to add the ESN to their database although its common practice with other carriers like Verizon.
I already have a data package for WAP browsing on my current phone, so I thought I'd try to change the ESN/MEID on the hero just to see if I could get it to work. Not hurting or defrauding anybody.
As I stated earlier, I used my licensed copy of CDMA workshop to change all of the EVDO, NAM, MSL, etc. However, it fails every time I try to change the ESN or MEID. I also read up on QXDA. As with CDMA workshop, I can read/change Nam stuff etc. but when I go to the Memory Viewer, all of the information on the screen is greyed out and the only address I can access is 0x00400000. And, since it returns all 0's for everything, I don't think it is actually reading the phone's memory.
Without discussing any legal implications, can someone please share ideas with me as to why CDMA Workshop and QXDA can't access the phone's memory even though they are supposed to be able to?
Thanks a million guys, I've learned more here so far than every other phone forum put together.
Only thing I can think of is restarting computer / phone...
I wouldn't be posting anything about this stuff on this site, I'm sure if you googled meid and hero you'd find a site that is a bit more accepting of this stuff.
I had already thought of that. I restarted the computer and both phones several times. For a "control group" I also tried to see if I could read the memory on the other Hero. Neither will allow it (in either CDMA workshop or QXDM).
Do you think flashing to an earlier software revision would do me any good? The sprint one is at 1.56.651.2 and pri 1.70_003. The other one is running something newer and proprietary (much like what I've read about Cellsouth, Bluegrass, Appalachian, Alaska, etc.).
Actually, this is the most accepting forum I've found so far. Thats why I chose this forum to ask. This is where I found most of my research on ESN/Meid.
If you have any suggestions of somewhere else to look/ask please post...or shoot me a PM.
I also did alot of reading at Howard Forums, Mobile Files, CDMA gurus, etc. but the information on the subject was really more clear and coherent here.
This forum is just more accepting because a mod hasn't come across your post yet. There are too many sections and most of the sections do not have individual mods for that section only. So it is a bit harder to police.
Anyway... you can try searching google for "esn repair" rather then "change esn". Unfortunately we can't help you any further. I only know the basics and not the details of the programs since I never had a reason to do that. There might be 1 or 2 people on these forums who could truly help you.
However, no one can post anything more because it would mean a ban and this thread deleted. Even though you have a good reason to do so, changing your esn is illegal and almost any forum out there will strictly get rid of posts that talk about it because they don't want to be shut down.
Its not like this is one of the thousands of posts out there asking "how do I change my esn". That information is fairly readily available.
Instead, if you read my post you'll see that I'm asking for some troubleshooting help to try to determine why my device isn't functioning properly and a spitballing of ideas as to how I can get it to work (ie...possibly rolling back to a previous software revision). I just filled in the backstory, because I felt it was pertinent information (showing that I can make writes to all areas of the device with various programs) just not the ESN/MEID.
Though, some would frown on what I'm trying to accomplish, I haven't asked for any illegal information...just troubleshooting help to figure out why my device isn't behaving properly. I don't know of any forum that would delete a post and ban somebody for asking for troubleshooting help, thats why the forum is here.

I know where you are coming from. All I was trying to say is that many forums will error on the side of caution and get rid of these threads.
I am not sure if there was a bunch of forums that got shut down that has brought the fear of god into the forum operators or what. I know forums get shut down all the time for warez(not just android) but I am not sure why they are so fearful about the ESN issue.
I think it is because a shutdown notice can be sent to the hosting site and the hosting site will blindly comply without looking into the issue. So the owner/operators of the forum have no say in the matter and can't argue their case.
Are you using a laptop? I had that problem, so used a desktop. Then after that it worked with the laptop. It is pretty simple thing to do.

Good idea aven. That is one of the things though that struck my mind late last night, although for a different reason. I was originally trying on a laptop running Win 7 Pro. Sometimes Win 7's a bastard about running programs designed for legacy communications. So, I installed the programs onto my desktop which is still on Win XP pro. Well, at least I was able to try QPST and QXDM on the desktop. My CDMA workshop license is tied to the laptop.
Anyway, I got the same errors on the desktop that I did the laptop.
And back to the idea I had about going back to a earlier software version, then attempting it...that didn't work too swimmingly either. In trying to research what earlier stock versions there were, I found that some Heroes came out with 1.29 and some with 1.56. Once a phone is at 1.56, it can never go back to 1.29. I don't know the history of this phone, if it came out with 1.29 or not, but either way its at 1.56 now. Either way, I reinstalled the stock 1.56 RUU which unrooted the phone. I haven't had time to root it again yet. But, with the stock 1.56 on, I still got the same errors when messing with the ESN/MEID.
I posted on another forum in the post that details this method asking if it can be confirmed that they are in fact changeable in 1.56. I also found some information about people using MTTY to log communications during this process. That is what I plan to do next.
Can anyone here confirm that they've seen it done on a Hero at 1.59?
Are you using the HTC usb data cord or a regular one? Could be worth looking into
Have you set up your ports in QPST Configuration? That solved my problems I think.

Yep...using the data cable that came new in the box with my wife's Hero.

Yes, while using QXDM, QPST is configured properly. I can use it to write to NAM, EVDO, etc., just not ESN/MEID. If the port isn't connected in the QPST configuration, QXDM won't even behave like a phone is there.
In CDMA workshop, the program itself grabs the com port. I've forgotten before and left QPST server running while opening CDMA workshop. When that happens, QPST has the port locked so that other programs (apart from QXDM) can't access it. At that point I have to shut down QPST server before I can connect the port in CDMA workshop.
Actually, I ran into the same problem when I tried what I mentioned earlier. I tried to connect the port in MTTY to log the communications. But then, I wasn't able to use CDMA Workshop or QXDM because MTTY had the port locked.
Were you ever able to find a solution? Stuck here as well.
Lets just say programs like DFS and CDMA Workshop have come light years since this thread was started.
I need to find the new versions then. I was one of the first to do it after the 2.1 update that I could find. Now I'm wondering if I could do it to a newer HTC phone
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
my g1 was DRC92, I managed to downgrade with not too much effort (the <enter>reboot><enter> works) now when it came to starting up it asked me to input my g mail details. Did this but couldn't sign on thanks to no wifi.
After days of messing about (most of the time spent in adb) i'm giving up and posting for help. ADB always says offline so i cant do anything with that i have no other lead to try and have tried 2 computers.
I don't know anyone with Tmobile so cant borrow a sim.
I did manage to get GPRS up by pressing menu on the signin screen then deleting all the APN's but t-mobile uk then changing that to my networks (o2) details the Symbol pops up and i get the arrows like data is being transferred but i get the error signing in. is it not allowed to let me sign in on 02? is there something not allowing me to sign in on o2? I'm really stuck and have been trying for 2 days done LOADS of research but nothing so far has helped.
Its not rooted (just got it so not 100%) is there anything i can do to bypass this screen as i have tried a lot even putting a custom rom would be fine with me if someone can link me to one that lets me avoid signup but again not too sure if i can install it if i need to be rooted...
Thanks for any help its much appreciated.
Wouldnt you know it as soon as i post gmail lets me sign in problem solved. Thanks for looking maybe custom apn settings will help others that cant do the adb thing?
I'm in the same position as you. Only i'm on 3.
I took my G1 back to 1.6 so that i could flash to Cyanogen6 and i stuck on that screen (as it claims no connection could be made).
Is there any little things you did? Been half a day like this now.
And i also can't get ADB to work. It see's my phone, but claims "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
EDIT: Read the details on APN setups and i have 1.6 working! Thanks man! Owe you one
Glad it helped, I actually did the whole APN thing as soon as i got the phone so i should have remembered but i have a really sucky memory :/
Anyway this should save people messing about enabling wifi and such through adb Glad it helped it will save someone else a lot of messing about too i hope
