Are you sure about the ISP instead of WAP? Several months ago I was investigating settings required to tether my laptop using my phones unlimited data plan. I read in another forum that for Cingular / AT&T the ISP APN would result in data charges whereas the WAP APN would not. In my experience I have found this to be true - no extra charges for using WAP for any type of traffic... web browsing, streaming radio, email, even tethering by laptop.

I have the Cingular unlimited data plan that my company pays for (a tidy sum of $39.99/month) - on my rate plan it's called "PDACnctUntlAdd". My device came setup to use the WAP APN under the MEdiaNet connection, which is what I always use for all internet connections. And to your point you can ONLY browse the Internet as the proxy WIRELESS.CINGULAR.COM seems to block all traffic but HTTP. But if you uncheck that box in your Start > Settings > Connection Settings then all traffic will pass.

I've been setup this way for about three months and haven't been charged an extra dime. I could just be lucky, or maybe my plan is different. But the WAP APN is working great for me under the MEdiaNet connection.

after reading all of this, i'm still confused

i'm about to get an 8925 .. i currently have a POS nokia with a brand new 3G SIM in it to hold me over till Kaiser is avail on ATT

i was planning to add MediaMax 200 bundle to this Nokia *before* I get the

8925 so I can slip in under the PDA radar, and swap SIM's when i get the 8925 and have unlimited internet for $19

i *HAVE* to be able to tether and VPN and Remote Desktop and have all standard internet functions available

it sounds like from a few posts back, only HTTP is available on the MediaMax plans

can somebody clear this up for me ?

Thanks !

AT&T Unlimited MedaNET

I have an I-Mate JASJAM on AT&T's Network. I was going to change my "Media Basic Bundle @ $9.99/month" to the MediaNet Unlimited for $19.99 via the att portal site, but I don't see that option available.

I see a Media MAX 200 bundle for 19.99. Is that the one I want?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hotmail:
That plan should get you unlimited web browsing from your device. Following comes word for word from the AT&T "MEdia Max 200 Bundle" plan at their website:

UNLIMITED MEdia™ Net

With MEdia™ Net, you can browse the mobile web, check your Email, get your sports scores, movie times, weather and news right on your mobile phone. Plus, you can access the latest ringtones, games, graphics and AT&T Mobile Music.

Many people use this and can confirm they do indeed have unlimited data. I don't happen to be one of them since my work pays for a PDA Data Connect plan. But I do have several friends that use this plan and they have the same web access and speed that I see from my plan.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hotmail:
I don't think your SIM has anything to do with whether you will have 3G access. I had my 8125 (doesn't support 3G speeds) before AT&T rolled out their 3G HSDPA network. When I pop that SIM into my 8525 I do indeed have 3G coverage. But it's because the device supports it, has nothing to do with the SIM. If anyone has a different experience they can chime in.

So there's really no need to "slip in". You're not doing anything unauthorized. You're free to get the 8925 or any other device and NOT get a data package at all. AT&T will be thrilled to sell you a $500 device with just a $39 voice plan. Might as well wait until you have the 8925 before you sign up for a more expensive plan, especially if your current device doesn't even support the features in the plan.

Can't really GUARANTEE that you will be able to tether, but many posters in the forum do claim that they can use the features you want with the MediaMax 200 plan. In my experience, even if you have the PDA Connect Unlimited plan you STILL have to disable the MediaNet proxy before all ports are open. If you don't the proxy seems to pass only HTTP traffic - not VPN, streaming audio, telnet, etc. But when you uncheck that box it's wide open (for me). Probably the case also for MediaMax 200.

media net with pda device

I know how cool it sounds to use media net and save money :) I work for at&t and if the IMEI number is not the phone in use you might be able to get by for a while, but every time you dial a number and it connects one of the details it records is the IMEI in the system! Now I'm not trying to warn all you all to switch to PDA connect plans, but now they have an auto sweep program that runs on accounts that will search these details, and since its a requirement for a PDA data connect feature to be on the acct, the system sweep will remove the medianet, you will be unaware that it was removed and continue on pay per use @ .1 cent per kb, we had one caller hit by this and got a hefty $30,000 bill by downloading 3 gig one month :eek: Now we are working with this customer on this, now way we plan on making him pay $30,000 but do yourself a favor and switch to a PDA connect package it makes the device run more stable and pull emails like it was meant to work :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hotmail:
If you do in fact work for AT&T then it's clear why their tech support is so... you know. But I'd bet my IMEI that you don't work for AT&T because you clearly don't know what you're talking about. I think we could all forgive your grammatical hatred of the period, and possibly even your inappropriate use of smilies. However your math skills are suspect. And that simply can't be tolerated. At 0.1 cents per kilobyte, 3 gigabytes (or 3,145,728 kilobytes) only works out to $3,146. So quit your imaginary job at AT&T immediately and go back to elementary school.

Now for the facts. AT&T does not care what device (IMEI) you are using. If they did then ONLY hardware provided by AT&T would work on their network... think of all the money they could save on those useless SIM cards. The reality is any carrier unlocked GSM device with a SIM authorized for their network can be used. And they can sweep and log IMEI's until exorcist learns basic math. It still won't be a requirement that a data-capable device have a specific data plan, or any data plan for that matter.

And one final point. Your data plan has NOTHING to do with the stability of your device. If you can provide evidence to the contrary I'll let you sweep my IMEI.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] RacerX10:
thanks for your comments guys

i guess i'll go ahead and do the $19 MediaMax 200 thing and see how it works out for my tethering / ftp / rdesk / vpn. if it doesn't do what i need i always have the option of upping to a PDA data plan, i suppose.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Suleeto:
I've been using the unlimited $20 a month media net now since January of this year, and I have to say, I've switched now from three differrent phones, with no adverse affects. I tethered two of those to my PC, and racked up large downloads. Now I'm on the Wizard, and if I could manage to figure out how to tether it, I'd continue to do the same.

"Unlimited MEdianet" FTW.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hotmail:
I'm not on the 8125 anymore, but I was tethering from mine just a couple of weeks ago using an XP laptop. Edge isn't blazingly fast, but it does the job. Check out the drivers and instructions here . There are also some posts to external links that can be helpful for troubleshooting driver and modem detection issues. The drivers and dialers seem to be the same for several HTC devices (I've used the 8125 and 8525 drivers / dialers interchangeably). Probably the Vista and XP drivers may even be interchangeable. Haven't tried it, but they look the same.

Only thing to note is that you'll want to use the WAP where prompted for a user name or the APN... some sites will use ISP. I know using WAP will NOT get you an additional charge on your AT&T bill. I'm not 100% sure about using ISP though, it may or may not trigger an additional cost.

Ok Considering That I Have Bno Acess To My Business Plan Online I Still Can Give You
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jayman007:
I have a 8525 from ATT with the PDAunlimited plan. My device came setup for medianet as selected modem. I see that under the proxy settings the "This network connects to the internet" is checked. The "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" is NOT checked. I also have NO proxy server listed.

When you say "uncheck that box" which box are you referring to? I seem to be able to both surf the web as well as connect to all my im services using palringo so I'm pretty sure that other traffic that http is NOT being blocked.

I would like to switch my plan off of the PDACnctUntlAdd ($39.99) to something else that will get me unlimited data as well as some text msgs. I don't see anyway to remove the current PDACnctUntlAdd plan online. I also don;t see any plans for $19.99 that offer unlimited data. The only one I see is "MEdia Max 200 + Unlimited M2M Messages" for $24.99. It's the "Unlimited M2M Messages " that costs the extra $5 and I don't see the MEdia Max being offered without it.

This is the case no matter what device I have selected in the "Phone/Device" section be it a pantech C120, a nokia 2610, or a HTC 8525.

Any more details on how I can lower my monthly bill for data usage without limiting my usage would be greatly appreciated.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hotmail:
You found the right box... the one that you don't have checked. And yes, you can web browse and do anything else without the proxy. But WITH the proxy "wireless.cingular.com" you would probably find you can ONLY browse the web. By default any device that comes from AT&T will have that setting enabled. Some config files (CAB's) here in the forum will set that proxy for you also. You can keep it or not - won't matter if you just web browse. But if you want to tether or use services that run over non-http ports my experience suggests you need uncheck that box. Your mileage may vary.

You may need to call. I see it available when I go to AT&T's website. Log into AT&T's website with your account info (assuming you have it). Open the link for "Rate Plan and Features". Click the link for "Add / Manage Features". Scroll down to the Data section, note the "MEdia Net Unlimited" plan for $19.99. Or the (apparently) equivalent "MEdia Max 200 Bundle" for $19.99.

But to your point, I don't see a link that would let you REMOVE your existing "PDACnctUntlAdd" plan. You might assume it would be replaced by the selection of a new data plan. But I'd probably call or email to have it done, just to be sure you don't get billed $19.99 on top of your current $39.99.

By the way, if anyone wonders what AT&T's policies are for data usage, read it and weep. Then go forth and enjoy tethering on your $19.99 plan.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jayman007:
Thank you for the confirmation.

I followed your instructions and when I click on "Add / Manage Features" I see only the following under "Data Plans"

Data

Media Bundles

MEdia Max 200 + Unlimited M2M Messages $24.99 Select Feature

Messaging Packages

Messaging Unlimited $19.99 Select Feature

Messaging Starter+Unlimited M2M Messages $9.99 Select Feature

I have no option for a $19.99 "MEdia Max 200 Bundle" or MEdia Net Unlimited".

What phone do you have selected under "Phone/Device"? Maybe they are showing different plans for different equipment. I tried changing my device to a few NON PDA phones (ie Nokia 2610) but still see the same options.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hotmail:
I have the 8525 selected. I saw the same thing last month when I had the 8125 and selected that from the list. Note that I am logged into my account when I see the plans available. I've attached a PDF printout (zipped) for reference. See text highlighted in RED)... MEdia Max 200 Bundle for $19.99.

But when I'm not actually logged into the website I don't see these same plans. The plans I see DO NOT include the MEdia Max 200 Bundle or MEdia Net Unlimited. It looks like one of the Smartphone plans may be equivalent, but I'm not positive (see text highlighted in RED). If all else fails you can call and give them the info attached. Maybe you can get into the plan even though it's not listed on the website.

Hello!

Actually there are no video players for Android, that would support Adobe's RTMP protocol, which is used to do almost every live stream playable with Flash Player (eg. YouTube, Justin.tv, Ustream, etc.). As MX Player's base, FFmpeg already supports librtmp, adding RTMP support is just a matter of one switch passed to configure script. Is it possible to see this feature in next MX Player version? :laugh:

MX Player supports formats streamable by RTMP such as FLV container, H.264, Sorenson H.263 video codecs, AAC, Nellymoser audio codecs, etc. but doesn't support RTMP itself. Try to open any "rtmp://" URI with MX Player, you'll get an error message.

I cannot tell if the transfer between the internal memory and the scard is fast but when I compare the speeds by copying to/from internal and and copying to/from sdcard via computer the sdcard is way slower.

It is probably something related to UHS-1 interface because the speeds through USB 3 do not go above 10-12 MBps. Very lame.
