[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Palmore:
Cingular and GPRS on the Sx66

After upgrading my phone to WM5 I still have YET to get a working GPRS connection, I've followd MANY sites on configing the GPRS to cingulars specs, am I missing something?

Here's a guide I followed to get my settings

MediaNet package connections on SMT 5600

1) Goto Data Connections

Start>Settings>More>Data Connections

2) Delete all existing connections so there is no chance of a conflict

Menu>Edit Connections>Proxy Connections>Menu>Delete>Done

GPRS Connections>Menu>Delete>Done

...repeat until all are gone. Click DONE

3) Next create a WAP/GPRS Connection

GPRS Connections>Menu>Add

Description: Cingular GPRS

Access Point: wap.cingular

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: CINGULAR1

Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0

Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0

IP Address:

...click DONE...click DONE

4) Next you need to create a proxy connection that will point any program trying to access GPRS to WAP

Proxy Connections>Menu>Add

Description: MediaNet

Connects from: The Internet

Connects to: WAP Network

Proxy(name:port): wireless.cingular.com:80

5) On the Data Connections screen change the following to:

...click DONE

6) Change your Internet Explorer Settings

Goto Internet Explorer>Menu>Options>Connections

Uncheck: Automatically detect settings

Select network: WAP Netowrk

...click DONE

7) Change your email settings

Whenever you create a new POP email account in Options>Account Setup

The Network should be set to WAP Network to be able to send/receive email

Change MMS Settings

Start>Configurations>MMS Settings:

To use CSD(Circuit Switched Data) on the iMate, here's the procedure:

For WAP over CSD

Start->settings->connections->connections-<add a new modem connection

call it wap-csd (or whatever)

cellular line

next

number is 1-415-244-1012

next

name ->WAP@CINGULAR.COM (all caps)

password->CINGULAR1 (all caps)

finish

For Data over CSD (on or off net)

Start->settings->connections->connections-<add a new modem connection

call it data-csd (or whatever)

cellular line

next

number is

1-847-254-9270

next

name ->WIDC0001@W4.MYCINGULAR.COM

password -> ZXY203DC9K0402

finish

You should now have 4 different connections

Data-gprs

wap-gprs

data-csd

wap-csd

But everytime it tries to connect via GPRS it errors out "Unable to connect for unknown reason" etc.

Ideas?
