Its okay

Take it easy bro, no problem, anyway may i know why you and to what platform you switched to?
[Nokia Lumia 920] SuperSport:
I moved to the iPhone 6 4.7 inch. I wanted to try something different, and I have to admit, it's probably the best phone I've ever owned. It just works, and works well. I miss the hacking aspect of it, so I will likely go back to Android on my next phone. Jailbreaking is boring... ;)

Due to the obvious confusion with data settings and Cingular users I want to get this taken care of. I know theres a .cab floating around for this already but its already know that it doesn't store the username/password sometimes and it also seems to have a problem with some users keeping a exchange connection for whatever reason.

This has went much better then I thought and I would like to give a big thanks shogunmark and wpbear for making the .cabs for all of us to use. Much appreciated :-)

I have at least loaded each of these up on a fresh WM6 ROM and they all seem to work fine so hopefully some more users will test them out.

The first download will load up the default Cingular MediaNet/ My ISP WAP MMS Settings and of course MediaNet will be the default.

The second download will load up The same settings except My ISP WAP will be the default connection instead of MediaNet

The third download is basicly the same as the second one but is for those who have the PDA data plan and want to use isp.cingular/ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM instead of wap.cingular/WAP@CINGULARGPRS

Here's my first attempt trying to put this together. I got the makecab app from the following miscrosoft Website (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310618)

Then I followed their directions from this website (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/solutionaccelerators/mobile/deploy/msfp_8.mspx).

Let me know it works. No money required.

I hope it is worthwhile.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Will work on this tonight and let everyone know..

thank you..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eagle 1:
Thanks for the offer MrDsl, it is very nice that you are willing to pay for a cab and then offer free to other users. Just don't forget that there is more than one way to set up Cingular connections.

1) wap.cingular with proxy settings

2) wap.cingular without proxy

3) isp.cingular (with ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM)

4) isp.cingular (with ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM)

and don't forget the other settings like compression, some connections use the settings and some don't.

Also, the setting are different if you use exchange versus another email carrier.

Also, if you don't have PdaConnect or LaptopConnect using isp.cingular may cost you more!

I hope someone takes the time to create cab files for the many Cinuglar users who don't like to set them themselves. Unfortunately, people like WpBear who have attempted to help, have just been bashed for no good reason. He made a cab clearly for one of the specific uses above, then people who have a different kind of an account then complain it doesn't work.

Good Luck!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
That .xml file are the settings you will get from any 8525 you buy from Cingular so I mean they have to work. Its defaulted to WAP@CINGULAR.COM so if you have the PDA Unlimited then any user can go in and change it to ISP@CINGULAR.COM

If you want to take your proxy out etc etc then that will be up to each user. The idea of this is to have a .cab that does the default cingular settings you would get if you went into the store and bought a 8525 for example.

Thats why I'm using the code from the .xml file. The .cab wpbear made was pulled from the registry of his phone that didn't have exchange setup and that may be why some users experience the connection problem and it was much appreciated. I really just want to squash this issue and if it costs me a few bucks then its worth it.

This .cab is going to be completely different in that its created directly from what Cingular sets the settings at..

Follow?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eagercrow:
Isn't that what these files already do?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1163312&postcount=1
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Not to be rude in any way but I explained this in my last topic already.

Again the files you are pointing to by wpbear while they are great it is known that for some of us the username/password doesn't get entered and some users experienced exchange connection problems like myself. wpbear even mentioned that the phone he pulled the settings from didn't have exchange setup so that may in fact be the issue but who knows.

Either way I am trying to eleminate all this by getting a .cab based off the actual .xml file thats loaded when you install a Cingular ROM that way none of those issues should exsist..

The main focus of this .cab file is that its based off the Cingular default settings from the .xml in the extended rom that you would get from Cingular and not based on settings someone entered..

I hope this clears everything up.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
just grab the xml that does the settings, edit out the first and last line that says "wap provisioning doc" then save it as an xml and download wince cab manager (ocpsoftware.com), import the xml and save the cab, then load it up on your phone ;)

then after that works donate your $15 to xda ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
I did actually try this last night (installing the limited trial of wince cab manager) but it linked me to microsoft to install some other stuff that I didn't fully understand. I will try again now..

edit..

Ok I think I have figured it out so hopefully the trial version will let me do this..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
i had a few moments and used the settings you posted above and created a cab.. although i dont have time to test it so i dont know if it will install properly or not, but here you go! Let me know if it works!

**edit**

removed this cab since i made a better one and to avoid future confusion
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
I'm really clueless on win ce cab manager so I'm not sure if I'm doing things right.

I launched the program and named my project..I included a screen shot below..

So all I did was click on the Pre XML line and imported the cingular.xml I posted above from notepad and loaded it and then just saved the file and I now have a .cab file.

Anyone that uses this can they tell me from my screen shot that I am probably doing this right?

I'm trying...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Ok I'm gonna try yours before mine LOL

I'll let everyone know..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
thats what i did also... but i did remove the first and last line of the xml, the line contains <wap-provisioningdoc>

i have read on the ocp board that wince does not play well with those lines and is best to leave them out!

Shouldn't that be ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM??

I use the ISP GPRS method, no proxies, no MediaNet and use exchange pushmail. I've use the WAP GRPS as well, no proxies, no MediaNEt and these have worked fine, except for recent issues with the data connection shutting off.

I tried the WPbear files: proxies and MediaNet interfere with Exchange settings...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM is used for media net, with or without proxies, works either way...

**edit**

i just looked at that closer and noticed the access point is isp.cingular ... so in that instance you are right... however if you change it to wap.cingular then you can use media net with not proxy and not need an expensive data only plan..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
something else i just thought of.... has anyone compared wm6 and wm5 reg keys to make sure they fall in the same place? I would imagine they do... but one never knows... now i have some free time.. i will look at compare!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
Here i made a new one and did verify that it works on wm6... this includes MEdia net, and My Isp using the apn of wap.cingular (not isp.cingular) and MMS settings... I also included the phcanoverbmp.dll (cingular 3G icon)

MrDsl.. feel free to crack it open with wince and take a look at how i did it.. hopefully this will help with your future cab developing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BigBen:
Thanks Shogun and MrDSL and others that are contributing on coming up with an "enhanced" Cingular CAB. It will be very welcome.

I have had the problem DSL mentions about Username and Password either not present in the Cingular settings CAB, or not sticking, through several ROM flashes in the last couple of weeks. Those !@#$ settings are so convoluted that I didn't know if I was doing something wrong or what, but it definitely seems to be the case that WPBear's CAB (thanks for the effort, Bear :) ) wasn't working for me.

A solid new Cingular settings CAB will be great.

Big Ben
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
hmmm, should i add the carrier dialer logo?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TechBill:
Doesn't Cingular have a cab in the ext rom that set up those settings correctly?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
no, they are set up in the initial 3 second customization via xml file, well except the mms settings, those settings are in a cab file.

**edit**

Also if someone wants me to add the pda connect settings then point me to them and i can add them as an extra option in the cab, then you can have your choice of all 3.. if not i will leave as is
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tulitre:
Yes please!!

It would be cool if you could add the pdaconnect option as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
do you know what all the settings are?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xultar:
The only one I see is a SMS setup. I went back in the wizard forum and grabbed a Cingy cab from there that worked until WPBear created his.

WPBears works fine...if the username and pword didn't stick I just typed it in and I have had NO connection problems.

I've been using slingplayer with no connection issues and sling is a huge connection user.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eagle 1:
APN isp.cingular

Username ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password CINGULAR1

that's it for the PDACOnnect Plan

THere is also

APN isp.cingular

Username ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password CINGULAR1

Supposedly, ISPDA uses compression
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
do you currently have these set up on your phone?? If so could you do me a favor and go to your registry key of HKLM/ConnMgr/Destinations in there you will see the different connections, click on those and give me the "DestID" it will be an entry that looks like this: {97626DCF-818F-4BE1-AC7E-77DA1B01F145}

or does someone have a cab or xml file already that has these connections?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
@showgunmark thanks for finishing the job. I planned on doing this after my vacation. Between business and vacation I have been in hotels nearly three weeks so no time to do much. The time I do have I flash the WMXL ROMs and test those with my current apps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
no problem... these are an easy task... just a few quick xml edits, import to a cab, and presto.... if all problem or questions could be this easy!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rockky:
I hesitate to say, but I'm not sure it's just a matter of settings.

I have tried every variation of settings...all of which worked fine on my Live WM6..and still get to a point where there is still a refusal to reconnect.

last night I hard reseted and reran the BlckRom v1.2 again (which I really love,btw)... and manually set up medianet settings again......had the best day yet....all day w/no reconnection issues until a couple hours ago and BAM!..just would not reconnect short of a reset..and happened 2-3 times after that.

So..I'm just a bit lost short of ditching the rom.

Bummer.

I'll keep tracking the discussion though!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TechBill:
On the 8525 MEdia Net and My ISP is both set up with wap.cingular and WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM but MEdia Net is setup with proxy and My ISP is not setup with proxy. And the 8525 uses PDAConnect Plan but of course folks goes online and replace the PDAConnect plan with cheaper MEdia Net plan.

The isp.cingular is use for Laptop Connect Plans
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Seems to work fine but in the Media Net and My ISP GPRS settings the 'Set IP header compression' should be checked off in both and its not..

Not sure how to fix that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] merkman:
Okay, newbie to xda-developers. I apologize in advance for any stupid questions...

I'm a former Sprint 6601 and 6700 user that had crappy coverage when I bought a condo 6 months ago. So I switched to Cingular and a 8525, and things have been GREAT.

When I got the 8525, I told the folks on the phone that my unlimited internet with Sprint was $15. To switch to Cingular, I was cool with paying $20/month for the "Smartphone" Internet... but I wasn't willing to pay the $40/month they wanted for a PDA. So I had the sales guy make notes in my contract that I should NOT pay more than $20/month, and once I received my phone I confirmed that with the person who helped me activate my unit.

Okay, so ALL that said, which username and password am I probably using? Is there a way I can look it up? I assume I'm not using proxy settings, but I'm not sure about that... and I have no idea what MediaNet does. I know I can't seem to send pictures through a simpler phone interface like non-pocket pc users can. And I don't seem to have all the fancy video features that some folks do.

Once again, sorry I'm not sure about all this stuff. Would LOVE to go to WM6 on my Cingular 8525, and I think I can handle flashing my device. I've already unlocked the phone so other carriers sims work (tested this with a T-Mobile sim), and I believe I can use any Rom with the hack that is available for that.

Love the black look, and the idea of being able to do Video Calls & Voice Dial!!! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Could you send that cab from the wizard to me? I would like to compare some things.

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
I need to charge so I can't check anymore but I'm not sure if I saw any proxy settings for Media Net actually set also when looking at settings in connection manager.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
@ shogunmark & MrDSL:

While you're at it, you may want to take a peek at a lesser known cab provided by DeniaL (see link in his sig line). I've used it without issue and it's far more concise than some of the others out there. While I'm certain it doesn't have everything y'all are trying to build into the one you're currently working on, I believe it does have the 'Set IP header compression' setting (IPHeaderCompression=1) MrDSL referenced earlier.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
I looked into the file and it does set it to do that, are you sure it doenst select it for you, the reg key is set correctly in the cab.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
I got bored and motivated by this thread tonight so I looked at the file and I noticed it uses the AKU 3.3 Cingy 2.06 preconfig for its "design". Those of you familiar with this know the change in the proxy setup so you would not have to change back and forth for some proxy setups, basically it set the default connection on AKU 3.3 ROM to MediaNet with the proxy only for certain file types, it was meant to save time from going to connections alot to pick you desired conn, either My ISP or Media Net. But I found that some media sites like xstreamxm and others got confused anyway and wasnt a perfect solution, still required you to mostly use My ISP not Medis Net.

Anyway to get to my point, I looked at the older traditional setup from the 1.34 Cingy and other modem setups, and made a CAB very similar to Showgunsmarks. My change is that the My ISP,which I just call CINGULAR GPRS is the default. Also I inputed the OPENDNS servers to install aswell.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
i wonder if the 3.3 settings is causing the intermittent connection that some people are describing... i havent jumped to wm6 yet as i am still in the process of with the help of others to make PTT work on wm6... hmmmmmm

anyone who is experiencing the dropped connections where you have to soft reset to get it back... could you hard reset and use wpbears new cab here and see if that solves the connection problem?!?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TechBill:
When I tried the WM6, I didn't use any "Cingular setting" cabs but entered the settings manually myself and I had the data connection issue where it would just mysteriouly die and only a soft reset would bring it back.

So far I suspect one of the two thing,

1. "Keep Alive" hack breaking data connection in WM6

2. Proxy settings, maybe a bug in proxy setup is breaking data connections. It seem folks that does not have data connection issues are not using proxy setup ie non-cingular folks or cingular folks not using proxy ie My ISP with wap.cingular or isp.cingular setups without proxy.

I went back to WM5 for now to make sure Radio 1.38 is not causing the problem and so far it been rock stable so I will put WM6 back on soon and test the 2 thing I suspected is causing the problem soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
so far no problems here at all.

started fresh and loaded wpbears new cab from the get go and everything seems to work fine.

no problems with my exchange server so far either.

this is wonderful finally a working cab. I really appreciate it.

wpbear I opened up your cab and changed the default gprs to use isp.cingular for those of us with the pda plan.

I just used it on a fresh install and works fine so far. its attached so you can include it or combine it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
i wouldnt totally rule out radio 1.38, im still using the cing aku3.3 until we can crack the PTT to work on wm6... and i do have some intermittent data issues... this rom was solid with the trinity 1.35 radio and no data issues... 1.38 the data seems to stop responding sometimes and i get occasional lock ups..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
First post updated with all latest downloads to avoid any confusion.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
im at work and cant check them out... but if you used anyone's cabs make sure to give credit where credit is due.... Makes for a happy board :D .. unless you made them yourself, then dont worry about it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
They are done by yourself and wpbear, you guys deserve all the credit and my donation will go towards XDA..

thanks again to both of you..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
it may have been there before i posted it, i cant remember... it didnt make any difference to me, but a lot of people dont give credit, and that makes some people upset, so i just wanted to make sure it was there.. like i said, it makes a happy board ;) it keeps from people posting nasty posts, i wont mention any names...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Hey guys! Thanks a lot for these. I've been fighting with an issue on my Wizard for a couple of weeks since moving to WM6. All pictures coming via MMS were being sized to 160x120 and I thought it had to do with Cingular not recognizing my phone with WM6 on it. djaladin saw my post in the Wizard forum and pointed me over here so I tried the second cab out in the first post. Presto! My scaled image issue is gone! Thanks so much for these!

Now a quick question (and not meaning to take this too far off topic). If I use the first or second CAB, can I call Cingular and give them a story and move over to the less expensive MEdiaNet package and off the PDAconnect?

Also, are these cabs good for WM5 as well as WM6 (I assume they are since Shogunmark indicated he hasn't moved to WM6 yet).

Thanks again!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
yes, cabs are good for either... and as far as the data package... if you have your account set up online just log in and change it to a cheaper media net plan... or tell them you are borrowing a loaner since you lost yours, tell them a razr or something and have them knock it down to a media net plan..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
It was I just decided to word it different so it was much clearer :-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] akarandomjames:
Few Questions...

What are the differences between WAP and ISP settings besides ISP being used for PDAConnect? Is that just Cingular's method of tracking who uses MediaNet or PDAConnect? If so, theoretically, you can downgrade to MediaNet Unlimited for unlimited data with no charges?

Can someone confirm that?

If theres really no difference in quality of connection between the WAP settings and ISP settings, then it would make sense for most 8525 users who are throwing an arm and a leg at Cingular for Unlimited PDAConnect to switch over to MediaNet Unlimited for unlimited data at half the price?

Also, do these settings affect tethering (Which actually requires an EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE LAPTOP CONNECT according to Cingular)? When you run Internet Sharing on WM6, you do have an option of picking what connection you want to use...so I assume maybe you can still use WAP but what about the dialup connection with #99*? How is that tracked?

Hopefully my questions aren't that confusing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] seany187:
