That doesn't throughly answer the question - if a network offers 'always on' connectivity to its clients then it should expect to have to cope with occasionaly high volumes of data traffic. As regards monitoring data traffic patterns to determine the use of VIOP/P2P then I agree that the usage of Limewire/Skype/Bitcomet could quite severely bottleneck their transmitters if everyone was doing it, but I think the service is improving more and more and these restrictions are clearly going to be removed once everythings at a peak, and the Networks begin to seriously compete with each other: It's a new thing, and T-Mobile are obviously going to be concerned initially that its service meets the expectation of its customers.

MSN uses very insignificant amounts of data, and I really don't believe that any of the Networks would sweat over its usage - particularly if you are sticking within your fair usage allowance.

One other issue that usage restrictions bring up is that they hamper your ability to browse if strictly enforced - I am on web n walk pro, which allows me (within the T&Cs) to use my Vario II as a modem - but if i go on Myspace, for example, most of the pages contain Java Music players and auto-starting video clips. Do I REALLY have to worry about stopping these straightaway so I don't get told off?

I think most terms and conditions CAN be taken with a pinch of salt; I mean if they didn't put them in place people would severely take the piss - leaving bitcomet running all day, or downloading gigabytes worth of MP3s every month.

Talking of pissing, it's technically illegal for me to have a piss in public but I'm not likely to get caught, nor am I likely to get in much trouble even if i am.

So stop worring......and if you've got a point please make it on here rather than forwarding web pages.

How much do you pay for T-Mobile 3G access in UK per month ?

I am not sure here in The Netherlands there is 3G access from T-Mobile. Anyone in the Netherlands can confirm ?

Well, there is, but it is expensive, for corporate user :

https://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/ht...bile_office/abonnementen_mobiel_internet.aspx

For unlimited access (excluding tax)

Speed (1,8 Mb/s / 384 kb/s) = 58.40 euro / month

Speed (384 kb/s / 128 kb/s) = 41.60 euro / month

GPRS = 7,98 euro / month
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TiMMah!!!:
Same prices for personal use. But for 7,98 per month you get HSDPA with 64 kb/s. The 9,50 (including tax) contract is perfect for me and not expensive at all!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gogol:
Yes, I use the 9,50 euro / month, unlimited GPRS with T-Mobile NL.

For MSN or SSH connection is enough, but for web browsing is quite slow.

Do you know what is the speed for the GPRS, especially with this Web n Walk thing ? Compared to HSDPA 64 kbps...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nforsans:
It took me 2/3 attempts to get it added onto my account. The key is to be transferred to the technical department - they know what they are talking about - and they will add it to your account for free.

If you are stuck with CS, ask to be transferred to the tec dpt, that's the only way to get it...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jamijam:
I didn't have to go through tech support. I mentionned HSDPA to the CS agent and she knew exactly what I was talking about (I was a bit surprised to be honest) and activated it immediately.

A sure-fire way to check if you got it is by checking your t-mobile account services on t-mobile.co.uk. It should say HSDPA somewhere on there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] markw996:
I didn't have to go through technical support either.

(Although I did fabricate a story about my brother having the same phone on the same tariff and having much faster internet! I said he'd told me to phone up and get it added to my account for free just like he'd done a few days ago!)

The girl in CS didn't know what it was, but after flicking through her screen she found it and switched it on, took all of about 30 seconds :)

Hey I'm Another Wallsend Vario II user. I've just spent 15 minutes on the phone to T-Mobile Customer Services switching back from web'n'walk plus (which i initially signed up for before reading this thread) and got put through to tech support (result :D) when i started bombarding the CS guy with jargon about HSDPA (High Speed Data Packet Access) for those who don't know, spoke to a wee scottish lassie who sorted me out straight away !!!

As soon as i got the 'I'll transfer you through to our Tech department' i knew i was on to a winner !!!

I'm now on Flext 20 with WnW + HSPDA with a MDA Vario II.

BTW Have you guys seen the site pocketpcmedia.com..... it's cool, found it in a thread on this forum somewhere..... well worth a look for the streaming media......

cya

BTW Wallsend boys, where abouts in wallsend are you, ? i'm in Hadrian Lodge West (near the Powder Monkey)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] yannyb:
The lack of consistency from t-mobile on providing HSDPA is really annoying.

I called this morning to try and get it activated and after two calls to the tech department the CS guy passed me through to a girl in tech support who said I have to take either web'n'walk pro or max to get HSDPA.

I wasn't aware of all these people who have had it enabled on standard web'n'walk at the time until I trawled through this site this evening.

I've tried calling back tonight but couldn't get through after waiting for ages.

Having said all this, I've tried a few speedtests tonight and i've had results between 700kb anf 1.2Mb which I think indicates that HSDPA is enabled.

Can anyone confirm my understanding?!?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] K-Lye:
NAILED IT!!

Ok chaps, thought I'd share the wealth and all that :D

Was recommended I check this forum out by a friend and thanks to your comments I've successfully attained a 1.7 MB connection on my Vario 2 today.

It took 3 phone calls to T-mobile where for the first 2, I was told the usual rubbish about upgrading to their Pro tarriffs etc. However lo and behold on the 3rd phone call, the chap tells me I'm already activated. Go figure! Maybe they don't want to be recorded as saying they'll activate it :confused:

Anyway, here's the key thing. On checking T-mobiles website, they state..

"This compact smart phone has a slide out qwerty keyboard. It's' 3G and HSDPA enabled, so surfing the internet with web 'n' walk is quick and easy..."

Hence, I don't really see how they can argue an upgrade is required. Here's the LINK :cool:

Good Luck! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Stabilo:
What about the plain Vario?

If I ask for it to be switched on before I get a Vario Pro will it be ok on my Vario?

Am I right in thinking that the Vario will not perform any better? Anyone selling their Vario Pro (could trade Blue Angel / Vario)?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SHC:
I've just asked T-mobile to enable the service and was told no 3 times, would need to sign up for Wen N Walk pro. Could not get past them. However, just done a speed test and got 968kbs as opposed to 250 - 300 before I asked.

So they did they put it on anyway?

After only achieving speeds of about 4k (not what I was expecting) I phoned T-mobile on saturday- asked to have HSPDA enabled-no problem with doing it what so ever.

To give them credit, every time I,'ve spoken to customer service either via e-mail or on the phone their service level has been nothing short of exemplary-can't speak highly enough of them.

Now if only I could get 3G coverage and a decent speed I'd be chuffed- seems the 'new city' of Milton Keynes isn't new enough to get me a decent connection!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Dead Cell:
T-Mobile say NO!

Guys,

I know I'm a little late on this but I couldn't help but post this. I don't have an Hermes but a P3600 which is also HSDPA enabled.

Anyway after speaking to t-mobile this evening, a lady told me that I am not eligible to have my web n walk service over HSDPA and the reason is that I did not originally sign up for the Flext + web n walk, instead mine is just an add on which I've added last week and I can cancel it anytime I wish.

I'm on the Flext 20 for which I pay about £11.50 a month including the web n walk which I added on last week (£4 line rental + £7.50 wen n walk).

Does it make any difference? Or am I just being fed nonsense?

Anyone else here who has just added on the wen n walk as an extra bundle for £7.50 a month to their contract?

Hope to hear from you guys...

Regards

D.C
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eva_d:
Your tariff shouldn't make any difference, IMHO. HSDPA is not a 'extra' service, but network feature and if you have mobile which supports HSDPA, you should get high speed straight away - but I might be wrong.

Try calling them again, and again. Sometimes help willingness depends on particular advisor on the line. I'm not sure, but I think I've seen something regarding HSDPA on My T-Mobile online service.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lanwarrior:
Yep, that's what I gather for new customer (as of January 1, 2007). I just signed up for a monthly plan and I pay 37.50 / month for 900 minutes (Flexible), which includes the 7.50 unlimited web.

I think this is the best any provider can offer in the UK, considering that other providers (Orange, O2) charges more than 20 / month for unlimited and some only gives 56 Mb allowance.

I've been using the web and walk and it's just awesome.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ch3ng:
I'm on Flext 35 + WnW with a separately bought PAYG Orange m3100 ... I seem to be hitting 700-900k and I didn't request HSDPA, maybe they're automatically turning it on now for new contracts?

I'm on Vodafone contract - no extra data package, just pay as I use.

When I connect to the internet my phone shows either G, 3G or H depending on where I am. I haven't run speed tests but the data connections do seem to speed up with each theoretical faster connection type. I have the same radio as you (1.38.00.10). I'm currently using Black 2.0 but this worked the same with LSVW ROM also.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stewcp:
I've been on T-Mobile Flex35 + W 'n' W since Feb07 and get an average speedtest of 950kbs. I haven't asked for HSDPA to be added but I'm guessing these speeds aren't standard 3G!

Also, every time a data connection is used, the 3G icon changes to an H... and I assumed this signifies that I have a HSDPA connection! is that not true?

HSDPA on Web 'n' Walk

Beware guys, make sure you speak to the tech team otherwise they could mess you about...

I rang them a couple of weeks ago to get HSDPA allowed and was told there would be a £2.50 p/m additional charge for the privilege, I decided to go ahead with it (not knowing it was free) and within seconds I lost total internet connection, I was told this was to do with the switching between data types and was told it should be off for no longer than 1 hour, after 2 hours there was still no joy so I rang them back up and was told that I had the wrong settings on my phone, they repeated the exact same settings as I already had and surprise surprise... still no luck.

It took them over a week to figure out what had happened and I was told it was a fault with the HSDPA service, I then rang up again to try and get re-enabled onto HSDPA and was told by C/S that it would cost me £5 p/m, I then complained again and was put through to tech, the tech guy told me that if you have a phone capable it should already be enabled and that there should be no charge.

in otherwords... Customer Support dont have a clue, dont speak to them and just speak to Tech if you have to.

I hope no-one had as many problems as I had.

Regards

Terryd1980
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kinky-chinky:
That's outrageous.

Hope you didn't have to fork out the extra £2.50 p/m.

It seems T-Mobile would be better off employing a few more techs and getting rid of their CS staff.

I wonder if the CS staff were employing this tactic as a means of getting more commission?

Sneaky.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eva_d:
wow, that's surprising! seems like newest Vario II has upgraded software, so 'H' icon feature is enabled!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lanwarrior:
950 Kbps??? I am using 8525 (unlocked) on WM6 (LVT edition) with PAYG and even though the connection icon shows 3G, I NEVER reach more than 120 Kbps (monitored using IP dashboard).

I then got a Web 'n' Walk and with the same devices, ditto, never get more than 120 Kbps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
You might need to contact CS to get the HSDPA function enabled on your account???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lanwarrior:
I thought about that, but based on the post below, it seems that HSDPA is activated without even asking for it.

I really hesitate contacting the CS because of the screw up they did with another poster above.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] phatphat:
Ok guys it seems no one is mentioning the "known issue" that some T-mobile accounts have!

As an ongoing issue with my HSDPA, I called to tell them that my DL speed sucked badly again and got put through to tech. Tech then said "sorry but we are having an issue with certain UK T-Mob accounts", where even though HSDPA is enabled, speed is much lower than it should be, and in many cases (mine!) GPRS is actually faster at certain times. I kicked off at them for not telling me and got £10 refund as I said I don't want to pay for webnwalk if they can't provide my full speed service.

Get on to them and find out if you are one of those accounts!!!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
OMG do you know what sucks big time?? O2 UK only offer HSDPA access to business data plan customers, no way in hell im using that as id have to double my monthly bill just to use it!

Does anyone know if HSDPA is "enabled" for PAYG customer?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nahguam:
I got my Vario II in November. I normally set it to GSM to save on battery but when I switch to auto (Bandswitch) I consistently get download speeds of around 800kbps. I never had to phone t-mobile to get hsdpa switched on (On wm6 my icon switches to H when downloading)

by the way, if you read the small print on the different w 'n' w packages, the differences are:

Package. . |Monthly Limit |'Limited use'

-----------|--------------|-------------

'standard' | 1GB . . . . .| Y

Plus . . . | 3GB . . . . .| N

Max. . . . | 10GB. . . . .| N

'Limited use' restricts the use of the internet acces for "modem access for computers, internet based video/audio streaming services, peer to peer file sharing, internet based video downloads, internet phone calls and instant messaging"

Most of the Orange customers who have M3100s (UK anyway) managed to get the Orange World Unlimited Bundle last year (£8pcm for 1gb). Generally if you couldn't get it then you went to T mobile.....

Getting that bundle, and the fact that I can't get much T mobile reception persuaded me to stay.....

And now that I am seeing the magic H as well, I am even happier! If they extended it out just a bit further it would cover home as well as work!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jamiepyrite:
I'll ring up tomorrow and ask them to switch mine too.

Been without the internet on my phone for nearly 2 weeks now! After installing WM6, I lost the settings for it. When I tried to get the settings off the website it sent me the first text with the code in, but never sent the config message. Tried again and again but nothing. So I e-mailed them and they need a password and some other stuff to prove that I have permission from the bill payer (My dad pays for it through his card, I give him the money)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jamiepyrite:
Sorted :) Rang up and was put through to tech support quickly by CS. No bother with upgrading the account or anything! Spoke to a nice scottish lady who sorted it out and explained to me a few times that there's a possibility I may not be able to get it where I am. Which I told her was fine and she activated it.

She also sorted my internet settings out. Just gave me all the manual settings to input (seeing as the t-mobile website took the manual settings guide off!)

Lesson learned: If you want something done, phone them. E-mail is useless.

If you have HSDPA will you always get a H? I've only ever received a 3G sign but alleged get downspeeds of ~ 600kbs-1000kbs according to DSLreports. Seems pretty rapid to me, even with out the H..

Done some tests on adslreports and I'm getting between 200 to 695kb/s.. Forgot to check if I had a H. I'll have a look later.

I don't think I'm in a very good area for signal.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
Most people report the H symbol only when downloading (so HSDPA kicks in when you are actually using the connection..not when its idle)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wam7:
First thing, make sure you get a spare or more powerful battery for your N95. Oh and post in a Nokia forum to get answers about HSDPA on that. Some people in T-Mobile say that you have to have WnW Plus to get HSDPA, but in my own experience this was never true. Your mileage may vary.

so i was thinking when our ahd gets kk update its sources will also get updated right but now we get roms from unified builds so kk source can affect the our ahd.?
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
RHD just got official KK and they are still waiting on RHD sources to be updated, so not necessarily. When the source code for both sides are released, that will be a job for the devs to cherry pick the new pieces of the code that will help the unified build. Will it make it better? Hopefully. Right now, just sit back, and be patient for our official KK update instead of jumping to step 10

Seems the GPe is full of upsets, first I discover that the radio sw had been removed by Google although the radio hw is there, then I discovered that I no longer have write access to my external SD because of KitKat

Last upset I ran into was not being able to use a pen on the screen, there is no input method that supports handwriting and using a normal pen or pencil on the home screen as a stylus doesn't work!
