All I know is that I have PDA Personal Max and cannot connect to isp.cingular, no matter what i do, period. I can delete the username and password as u suggested, and I still get the "cannot connect" error. This is also the case for dozens (prob hundreds) of people on this forum and also the AT&T forum that I frequent. Maybe they got you some deal for $3 a month, but this is not advertised, as is the PDA Connect plan not advertised, so no matter what way you slice, its bull**** what AT&T is doing. We pay a RIDICULOUS amount for an unlimited wireless internet connection to begin with. Getting a MF static IP address should not be a problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flapjack:
I agree, it is ridiculous. I suggest you get the exact code from the jpg I posted. Ask a representative for it. Chances are, they can search for it, even if they don't know what the hell it is.

Just say you would like to add a feature, and that you have the exact code.

**EDIT**

The code is MthlyStaticIPAccess

That's not true. I VPN on wap.cingular daily.

Click on the connection status icon in the top bar on the today screen, in my case here it's an "E" in a white box. It will bring up the status of all your connections, including the VPN connection.

Well, for some reason, mine doesn't work, even when I'm connected to isp.cingular

Mine just shows "isp.cingular". Why don't I get an error message then? This is strange...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] marm0lade:
I don't understand how this is possible. You would be creating a secure connection between wherever you are VPN-ing too and AT&Ts NAPT server. You are basically tunneling to a public IP on a huge router, the data has nowhere to go.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flapjack:
I agree. Being connected to wap.cingular is akin to being behind a router connected to the internet. Without being able to go in and change settings to the big router in the sky, you won't be able to VPN.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChaOConnor:
Unfortunately this didn't work for me. Seems like each rep offers their own advice/fix action, some work, some don't. Guess i just don't have ISP access, only WAP.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Park City:
I will chime in on this discussion as well since just yesterday I went through this exact process with data support.

I have been happily using my pda connect unlimited plan and wap.cingular until a few weeks ago i recieved a call from ATT saying that they had changed the features of my plan to include 1500 text messages at no additional cost and asked if they could move me to that plan. Snce it was a different "feature code," they needed my permission. I said sure and went about my business. Then yesterday I was doing some research on the Internet APN Here

http://www.wireless.att.com/businesscenter/solutions/connectivity/ip-addressing.jsp

I then tried using the isp.cingular apn and it failed. So I deciced to look at my exchange server with tcpview from sysinternals (GUI for Netstat -a)

and noticed that I was connecting fine with the wap.cingular apn (DNS of ip even had dmz.cingular.net listed) but for some reason was NOT maintaining a tcp window with the server for very long at all (3 minutes) So I get an online chat with Data services and ask if the isp.cingular apn is not longer functional on my account. He said that it was restricted for those who tether only and that when my account was changed a few weeks ago, the isp.cingular apn access was also removed. He also mentioned that it shouldnt matter anyway. I explained that I wanted the public IP for vpn connectivity from my phone (not that I really use a vpn from my phone but seemed like a logical reason) After about 15 minutes of online back and forth chat, he said he could change me back to my previous "pda connect" plan that gave me access to isp.cingular but i wouldnt have my 1500 texts anymore. So for 4$ more I got 250 texts and isp.cingular apn.

I now see that my phone connects to the exchange server with an IP in a different subnet than when it uses wap.cingular and recreates the tcp session when the heartbeat expires when I use the isp.cingular apn.

I actually dont think that using either the wap or isp apn makes any REAL difference to Activesync or the performance of the phone. My phone syncs fine with both... i just prefer the public ip and it APPEARS to work more like I think it should with Exchange and how I understand ActiveSync to work.

Brad
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] marm0lade:
wap vs isp doesnt make a difference if using active sync or connecting to exchange, I've been able to do that just fine. But if you set up a vpn connection at your house or need to do something like remote desktop - no dice.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] seattleboi1982:
it is NOT a static IP address. it is a public dynamic address with 166.x.x.x i should know i work for att and deal with the stuff on a daily basis. to get a "real" static ip, you need to either a. have a custom static apn solution. b. using the 'internet" apn, which btw is going away.

pure and simple
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] marm0lade:
Please explain the following then: At MY work we have multiple wireless data connect cards. Using these cards, configured for ISP.CINGULAR we can VPN into our work network. Using my Tilt, configured for WAP.CINGULAR, I CAN NOT get a VPN connection to my work network.

Wait, I'll just explain it for you: The wap.cingular doesn't support GRE packets, which is required for PPTP. isp.cingular, even tho you are claiming it gives you a public dynamic address, it still supports GRE packets, which is all that's important to me.

Also, please clarify, oh knowledgeable one: You said to get a "real" static ip, you need to be on the "internet" APN. Is this not what isp.cingular is? isp as in "internet service provider".

I don't care what terminology you try and use, but wap.cingular routes me through an NAPT which makes it impossible for me to get a vpn connection. I realize that AT&T has two APNs bc they are trying to police how their users use the service that they are paying so dearly for, but it is bull**** to charge extra for users to have the ability to use isp.cingular if they are not violating their contract. I am paying for unlimited data and I should be able to use it however I want, as long as I do not violate my terms of service. I am not streaming any video, or downloading any files. I would merely like to be able to VPN to my work (and home sometimes), to access business resources. Please let your superiors know their customers do not enjoy taking it in the rear.

ISP finally working! Thanks!

After your personal help yesterday, finally today I have ISP access!

(For anyone else with this issue, I recommend PM Gyngabread Man for personal service on this - also be sure that RemoveHiddenProxy has been run on your device).

Sidenote @ Gyngabread Man: Thanks for also setting up the Family Unlimited Messaging - same price I was paying, way more benefit - the whole family is psyched!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] splitsecond:
I have tethering so I can connect to either APNs so here are my observations:

Media Net is maybe 10%-15% slower. I can run a back to back speed test from my tethered computer and it is verifiably slower.

MobiTV does not work off isp.cingular. I don't know why that's the case, but it doesn't and other people have said it doesn't. So I used Media Net mostly now because I don't want to break my connections to switch if I needed to catch live news.

Turn off proxy and you can probably use VPN. Most VPNs don't require static IPs (is isp.cingular even really static-- i.e. assigned to your account only?) unless your IT department is really masochistic about taking support calls as 90% of ISP accounts are dynamically assigned IPs. PPTP and IPSec properly configured and with most client software works fine over NAT. That's if you're tethering and using a computer you can otherwise VPN with.

If you're trying to use the VPN that's built into WM6, then you're going to find that it probably wouldn't work either way. The built in VPN client is beyond bad.

I can tell you that actual the value of ISP.cingular is very little. But the difference in price between having a plan where you can access it and can't access it is very little also (if it actually means that much to you).

Marm0lade.

i am not sure what your VPN solution is, but when i vpn in to work with my VPN solution using the wap.cingular apn i do not have any problems when using an aircard.i also use Proxy which is an old Blue APN that using NAT in the same structure as wap.cingular. i do not vpn into the company using my Tilt.

my applogies for not explainiung what the "internet" apn is. the "internet" apn is a psuedo static apn.Also the "internet" apn was a old Blue APN, as was "proxy" and "public"

as for what you do and do not pay for, i have no control over what ATT's rate plans, nor do my views represent ATT. i do not claim to know everything about AT&T's network, but i would rather verify that correct information is shown on these forums then incorrect info continue to float around.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Gyngabread Man:
no problem glad i could help u out and that u got ur isp working
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Entropy512:
seattleboi - it's not quite that complicated, although that is probably a contributing factor.

wap.cingular is NATed, which breaks quite a few VPN systems, but not all.

It also "round robins" the source IP address of the NAT on a regular basis, making it appear as if your phone is many devices at many different IPs over time. This breaks basically all other VPNs. The "round robin" NAT is a huge headache - I don't know why AT&T feels they have to add this "feature" as it also breaks websites that are extra paranoid about session hijacking.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PerfAlbion:
If you are having difficulty establishing VPN connections, then it is about 99% likely that you need to do one of two things (or both) on the wap.cingular APN.

1. Updated your VPN client - NAT traversal was "fixed" on IPSec VPNs at least five years ago and this shouldn't be an issue on any modern IPSec VPN.

2. Turn off the proxy for wap.cingular so that you're simply passing packets. You'll lose some AT&T specific services (like http://device.home and everything associated with it), but still pass traffic. Proxies + VPN = many, many failed connections for many VPN platforms and clients.

But the fact that you're receiving a private IP address using RFC 1918 should not create a VPN failure. Try it on your WAP at home - there's about a 99.9% it's using the same address space (most likely 192.168.x.x). If your VPN works there, it's almost certainly the proxy saying 'I've no earthly idea what I should be doing with this packet, so I'm throwing it away' when it sees your VPN connection start up on wap.cingular.

Vpn - Tilt - Settings

Okay... so I have the problem of getting my VPN to work on my AT&T Tilt.

I have the PDA Connect Unlimited plan. I have configured the device using the isp.cingular and isp.att and wap.isp setting and it still will not connect!

However, when I connect using the WiFi and use my home internet connection it connects like a charm!

So where is the problem???

HELP!

:confused:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flapjack:
I'm guessing it has something to do with the VPN client built into WM6. I keep hearing that it's crappy, but don't know of an alternative...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redlinerocket:
No, the VPN works great when I use the WiFi - Which, I would think, shows that the VPN is not the culprit but rather my data connection over AT&T network. Before AT&T changed my data plan it was working just fine over their network.

The real problem is their tech support. They have NO clue when it comes to their own network and the phones they sell.

Wanted to give a shout-out to my man Gyngabread Man! Where no other AT&T Rep could help or even really listened to me, Gyngabread Man provided excellent customer service and was able to help me fix my plan and explain it all to me. Thanks Gyngabread Man, I really appreciate it!

All the info above is correct except my password is 13 char. I don't know what it is. it automatically showed up. I also have the PDAUNLIM1500MSG plan but I don't have any problems. I connect to isp.cingular everytime
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:
Look, if you can SSL connect to any website over wap.cingular, then any TCP based VPN will work.

If you got Cisco VPN or modern IPSec, then you're fine; if you're using any of Microsoft's non-standard ones such as PPTP, then of course you're hosed.

I VPN quite fine with Cisco VPN or SSH tunnelling, and VNC.

Hi, I have a samsung galaxy s4 and it's running out of storage. It's a 16gb phone but about 9 gb is unusable due to "misc fiiles", just the way the phone is which sucks. I just need an sd card to get some more storage. I can use this to store files, pictures, and for apps correct?

I can't post urls, I was gonna post a link to the Samsung EVO 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Card with Adapter (MB-MP32DA/AM) on Amazon, will that one work with my phone?

Easy guide/comparison of (current) G4+ Roms & Features & current release levels

Besides the ongoing philosophical/(or more accurately RELIGIOUS) discussion of TWRP vs. CM13, (kind of agnostic about that, have run both in past)

can anyone go over what is CURRENTLY available for the Moto G4+, (XT1644), what are the differences/features between the ROMS, what state are they in, (beta/stable),

etc?

I am (personally) interested in a ROM that would be able to do "OTA" updates to itself, if that is a viable feature.

I would be willing to help re-write this into a beginners guide if someone can help me with the details.

thanks in advance.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] markbnj:
Thanks for your reply.

OK. so you say TWRP is fully working. But it's only a recovery, correct? & works with the stock rom.

IS that why I can do a systemless rooting of phone without changing it?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] anhoxhrs:
Yeah twrp is recovery,in system less rooting we have to flash twrp but in system less after "rebooting device" it gets replaced by stock recovery. Usually to keep twrp i used too reboot the bootloader so it replaces stock recovery.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maescia:
Hello Everyone,

I am newly registered member so I'm still clueless about the site so pardon me for having a thread (that might be existing alreadt) also I have so many questions in mind.

My device which is O+8.92 Android phone has an issue where when playing games that involves multi touch there are times that two touch points will freeze as I observed this bug it goes off in 10seconds or once you turned off the screen and turn it on which isnt good when playing.

Another thing is I've came acrossed with the idea of custom ROMs so I know a bit of it but totally clueless how to apply it into this phone.

Now my questions are

-If I install a custom ROM for this device is there any risk of the phone that wont work anymore?

-Can I do the whole Custom ROM installation without PC?

-Can someone point me or send me a link on where to find a step-by-step guide about installing custom ROM?

I am really clueless towards this but as long as I have a detailed guide its easy for me to pick up things so thanks in advance and I appreciate it
[MTCB Android Head Units General] ptclabs:
As soon as my phone updated to 6.0.1 the bluetooth for phone connection connects for a few seconds and then cuts off. It seems to be very repeatable across phones and radios as until a week ago I had 2 mtcb devices both running 4.4. I have not tried the maylay 5.1 for mtcb devices yet, as I would have to set up everything for the wifey again on hers.

This does not happen with the mtcd devices with 5.1.1. It connects fine. I may just have to put 5.1 on hers to make my phone connect.

I have the joying 10.1 universal. If anyone wants to know what I think of this unit because I saw some questions about it, it seems fine. The stock software sucks and is slow. It has no micro usb ports although the rom thinks it does. Guessing they are just not plugged in. The stock microphone is 1000% better than I have seen on any other unit. I have had GS KGL and now a joying. There is no reason for an external. Even google understands me.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] dvdslw:
Hate to say it because of all the hype surrounding the release of the Note 7 but this phone is not impressing me so far. Sure the waterproofing and edge screen is pretty nice but besides that what do we have above and beyond the Note 5 or even the Note 4? The 7 seems a bit heavier, the edge screen is much easier to damage in the event of a screen down drop, battery life is terrible compared to the Note 4 I'm coming from, Bluetooth connections are not reliable at all with any player I have, speaker sound is not the greatest, and I find the touch screen to be not sensitive enough to the point I have to double and sometimes triple press the screen to select something. Really trying to like it but I don't know?

On the other hand, my wife got the S7 Edge and side by side there's not a huge difference in screen size. Also, her phone is much more responsive to touch input, no Bluetooth issues, bigger battery, and at the moment $150 cheaper than the Note 7 (2 year deal @ Best Buy). I'm contemplating a return to get the S7 Edge and put some cash in my pocket or returning it to wait for the new iphone 7 coming out in a few weeks? Or better yet reactivating my Note 4 which felt pretty good in my hand today when I fished it out of the drawer.

Just felt the need to post my concerns with this new wonder phone and see if anyone else is having second thoughts about their purchase?
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] dutchman71:

I just returned from Best Buy with my old Note 4 re-activated and I seem happier now.

If you can be happier with a cheaper phone, though, I always say, go for it!
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] Corbitt74:
Same for me, its been fine for the most part. I didnt like the keyboard so downloaded google keyboard and that fixed typing problems. BT I've only used my headphones with no issue. Battery has been better that my note 4.

I use Nova launcher, package disabler, google keyboard and SD maid to keep it clean. So far its been good. I put animations at .5 from 1 and turned on force 2D GPU.
