Ok... I don't think I have found a definitive answer on this so I am going to open up another forum.

Personally I have ATT (old Cingular) with the unlimited data plan. Some people say to connect with isp.cingular and some people say to use wap.cingular. Which one is better and why? What DNS settings are better and why? What are the actual connection settings we should be using? :)

This only applies to US ATT users.

Thanks!

I know that media net wap.cingular is the ap that you are normally assigned when you get an unlimited data plan on the phone.

isp.cingular is supposed to be for tethering plans that cost more.

I have tested both using my Kaiser with internet sharing to a laptop and speedtest.net isp.cingular was just a little faster and it is said that it is supposed to be faster for data customers and supposedly has a higher traffic priority.

What was interesting was that from my location in California Speedtest.net reported isp.cingular as originating in Los Angeles and it reported wap.cingular as originating in Florida.

I've experienced recently myself, that MMS/SMS won't work thru isp.cingular and cingular video as well (I don't use it but read that). So I keep both ap's set up on my phone but have wap.cingular in use most of the time as it seems fine for most all streaming Slingbox video/email/MMS etc. I only use internet sharing occasionally on the road with a laptop and would possibly take the time to re-engage isp.cingular for more speed, but it wouldn't be a huge difference really.

AT&T tech support told me that they were going to really shut down isp.cingular on most phones very soon.

Thanks! I appreciate the input.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mfrazzz:
One thing I would add is you should modify your DNS settings to use the OpenDNS.org servers. It really makes things snappier (doesn't help overall performance, but I've found the initial connection to websites is definetly faster than when you use the Cingular/AT&T DNS servers).

I personally use Kaiser Tweak to disable the isp.cingular entry, and only use the MEdiaNet access and have had no issues. As stated though, if you tether then be careful doing that on MEdiaNet as they may charge you (but I've tethered for short periods of time when I'm in a pinch with no issues). I also downgraded from the PDAConnect plan ($40 per month) to the unlimited MEdiaNet plan ($20 per month).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pkapadia:
With the Wap.Cingular you cannot send recieve mail using imap service. You have to use isp.cingular. There are other services that are blocked through the wap.cingular but that arent used that often.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ecltech:
pkapadia,

I don't think that's true. I only have 1 connection enabled on my device and it's using wap.cingular and I can send/receive mail via IMAP. I haven't run into any services that's blocked as yet using wap.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] margatenj:
so... what are the AT&T settings?

if AT&T is planning on ending the cingular settings, it would be good to have the new settings from AT&T
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] evolved303:
I am currently in my AT&T trial, likely switching over to this carrier from verizon because of the Kaiser. I currently have a 40$/mo phone plan and a 40$/mo data plan.

What is this 20$/mo plan you speak of with MEdiaNet, could you expand on this please, I'm new to AT&T's pricing plans, I think that 80$/mo is pretty ridiculous, so if you could fill me in on any tips or tricks you know about re: waps and networks, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm sorry if I'm coming across as noobish, I'm really not, but I know squat about pricing plans and such.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stpete111:
That's 100% false. I use imap mail over wap.cingular daily.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mfrazzz:
Cingular / AT&T change the names of the plans all the time. But what I'm talking about is when you buy a Tilt, AT&T will tell you that you HAVE to have the PDA Connect plan if you want data. This plan is $40 per month (actually $39.95 or thats what it was a year ago and I've seen people still quote that price). What this does give you is access to isp.cingular which is supposed to be a better network connection (and not going through their proxy stuff).

But if you have a "simple" phone like a Razr or similar, you can get the Unlimited MEdiaNet package (At one time it was called MEdiaMax, but now I think that is something else) for $20 (ok, $19.95) per month. Its a full unlimited internet package, but its only wap.cingular (You can actually use isp.cingular, but I've heard some have gotten caught and they charge you for the usage). In my experience (almost a full year now) I've had NO (none, nada, zero, zilch) issues running on MEdiaNet alone. Now taht I'm on a Tilt, 3G works just fine (and with the reg tweak I'm getting the H icon now even and nice speeds from it). If connections settings runs where it sets up both MEdiaNet and ISP, then I go into Kaiser Tweak and I turn off the ISP side and only use MEdiaNet. I then also modify the DNS servers to use the OpenDNS ones and page lookups are noticeably faster.

There is an entire thread about Cingular settings and plans in the Wizard forum (Here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=280993&highlight=MEdiaNet). I haven't looked at this thread in awhile, so some of the info may be dated (as it was when things were Cingular and not AT&T a year+ ago) but there are posts there from just a few months ago.

Good luck! Shopping for Cellular plans is like the old days of shopping for Long Distance plans with Long Distance companies. Very confusing and its all Apples to Pears in the comparisons (ie: they are similar but they aren't the same).

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mfrazzz:
In the last couple of weeks, I've had weird issues on MEdiaNet. I had upgraded to a couple of different roms but thought it might ahve been rom issues, but going back to an older rom that always worked before, I had the same 502 gateway issue. I played around with running the removehiddenproxy cab, and manually tweaking settings and seem to now have it working and stable again. I do think the HTC Connections settings in most of the roms will setup AT&T settings correctly now. I still go in and use Kaiser Tweak to disable the ISP one, and only use MEdiaNet. But I've wondered if AT&T is doing something with MEdiaNet in my area due to it working, then seems to stop for awhile, then starts working again. Still really not sure
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] redbandana:
hmm no issues here. I strictly set all connections to medianet.

ive been tweeking with the settings for 2 weeks now lol. at&t said they dont nkow what to do to make it work either. i even tried sony ericsson tech support they couldnt do anythin about it either. so i dont know what the hell is wrong i think its the username password and domain thing not sure. i dont know if this will make a difference, but i have the regular phone data plan for 14.99 would that be the reason why its not connecting to my xperia? do i really need to have the pda plan?

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] BlazingGlory53:
Today, my mother was running the latest update for her Moto Z Droid. After a couple minutes, the display went off, and the phone was dead. Won't go to logo, won't power on, NOTHING.

She said the battery was at around 40-50% battery during the update, and I've tried plugging it into a power supply, and also tried plugging into a computer, and NOTHING is happening.

Is there a way to get the phone back working? Thank you for your help!
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] jeromejeremytay:
I had this problem too just today and yes my battery was 40% and yes the screen went blank and no response for 2min. But i did not plug into charging nor PC. I long pressed the power button after 2mins and it took a while to power up and continue the update. I'm sorry to say but it is advisable NOT to plug in anything during update. Maybe you should bring in to Verizon.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] stewarta13wsb:
Sort of related, sort of not... I got the Moto update today (UK sim free Z) and I thought it had stuck too. Just kept rotating between blue & lenovo screen for ages, then black, just as I was getting nervous it continued and finished with all OK. I had plugged it in BEFORE it started, as that's what the message said to do.

It said something about notification update but I can't see any difference?? I was hoping for 4 volume controls like every other mobile on the market (?) but no :(

Does anybody know what actually got changed?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BMovie:
The problem i am having is that the HTC M8 wont boot up without being plugged into the mains.

Story: Last week i was playing pokemon GO as i normally do when the phone just decided to shut down. I tired powering back on but it wouldn't power up.

When i hold the power button it shows the HTC Green Logo then turns off likes it not drawing power from the battery. So i decided to get a new battery to see if that

would solve the problem. Unfortunally it has not sorted the problem out. it still wont draw power from the battery for some reason.

Before that i recently changed the Power/Audio board but that seems to be working fine (power draw and audio) so dont think that is the problem.

No custom Rom or custom software on the phone. all stock.

Thank you for the help.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] czbwoi:
Pressed the home button while using Snapchat, phone froze, had to hard reset it, phone got stuck in constant Google logo bootloop. Getting a replacement shipped out...but I have a video I recorded yesterday morning that never backed up on Photos, any possible way to save it? Someone mentioned an ADB method..? But with my little research I think you need to factory reset the phone for that, which would make this method a waste as I need to get this video off it.

I never rooted this phone, I didn't unlock the bootloader. I did turn on developer settings. That's all I know regarding that.

Other information regarding the fastboot screen: Boot-slot: a, Console: DISABLED, Secure Boot: PRODUCTION, Device is LOCKED.

I've turned it off and on multiple times, same thing. Rebooted it during loops, or at least tried to, same thing. Went into fastboot mode from loops, pressed start, same thing. Went into fastboot mode from phone off, same thing. I don't know what else to do. There is no way to clear a memory cache apparently. And I am sort of n00bish in this world.

Anyways, what could I possibly do to save this video, or to fix my phone out of this bootloop to take the video off the right way before my replacement comes in? Anyway to do either of that via 'ADB', some lowkey program I don't know about that can rip the entire phone's data onto some type of file I can decrypt, a program like Recuva that will find the file(s) for me and yank them out, etc? I know there has to be somebody out there with the skills or capabilities to do something like this... I hope. Please help out and let me know, thanks.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
If you could do something like that with a locked bootloader / unrooted device then all security for Android would be a sham. I'd be very discouraged if someone could hack into a secure device and pull out information such as pictures, phone numbers, messages etc.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
If it is locked, you are done. It's encrypted. If it were unlocked you could easily get it off the phone.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] czbwoi:
Well, I'm not feeling optimistic at all now. So there is 0, nada, nothing I can do to save this video/file or fix my phone? All because the device decided to randomly get stuck in this bootloop, I am absolutely screwed?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Unless you can get it to boot up then I do believe you are out of luck. You can't get into recovery menu?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] czbwoi:
Fastboot > Recovery mode > No command screen > Power button hold + Volume up tap > Android Recovery screen with Reboot system now, Reboot to bootloader, Apply update from ADB, etc?

If that's what you mean, I can get there, I'm there right now.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Sorry afk. Yes, that is exactly where you want to be. Try an adb sideload of the latest OTA or even the last full image. I do believe you can sideload that but if not then the OTA. You might be able to recover that way. If something got corrupt then the sideload might fix it. Or is there an option to clear cache? I think there is, you can try that first.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] czbwoi:
No option to clear cache, the rest of the options are: Apply update from SD card, Wipe data/factory reset, Mount /system, View recovery logs, Run graphics test, Power off.

I have no idea how to sideload an OTA or image to try to fix this...if you could point it out to me step by step, literally, I'd appreciate it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Don't have directions atm for sideload online but the way it works is you download the OTA from here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota Scroll down to Pixel latest U build 7.1.1. Download it and place it in your fastboot android sdk folder, I put it in the platform-tools so it's easy. Then click apply update from sd card by highlighting it with the vol keys and then power key to select. It will tell you what to do. I forgot exactly but it's something like "adb sideload <ota.zip> whatever the name is and then let it go. It will take about 10 min and after it's all done, highlight the reboot option. Power key and reboot. Hopefully that should fix it. If not, sorry I'm all out of ideas. Well other that adb sideload the full image although someone will have to verify if that would work.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] czbwoi:
Just sideloaded the latest OTA with the help of a friend, and no luck. Same old stuff. And I think sideloading an image would require the bootloader to be unlocked which would require a factory reset...

Here's another thing that crossed my mind, have any of you ever used EaseUS MobiSaver for Android? It's a tool that allows you to recover deleted files from your phone, similar to Recuva and hard drives. I used it before on my parents' Galaxies, this program is from circa 2014 though so I don't know if it would have much success on a new phone like this...but you never know?

For it to work you need to have your phone on (derp) and have it rooted. Here's the tricky part...if you erase your hard drive and use a tool like Recuva, even though you erased your drive the remnants are still "there" and files are recoverable with a tool like that. Do you think that the same concept would work with phones and EaseUS MobiSaver? Say that I factory reset the phone, set it up as a new device and don't transfer over any backup, I root it, and run said program to scan the deep contents of the phone's hard drive for old data. Do you think this will work in any way possible, like how regular hard drives that got erased work, or is the phone world completely different and incomparable?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
EaseUS will not work on a factory reset. You can't recover anything.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] czbwoi:
Well then what about programs like these: https://youtu.be/iPCoyRpMrqw?t=58s

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
You can often get ADB while it's booting. It just depends how far into the boy process is made it. I would power it up and see if you can ADB pull the file.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] czbwoi:
My friend was able to give it ADB commands on the fastboot/recovery menu, we sideloaded the latest OTA like that to see if it would fix it. What are you describing though, how would I be able to do that? Do you have any instructions or links on what to do? I don't know the file name for instance. The last video before that one was named VID_20170104_011325.mp4, I don't know how to find out the name of the next video file to even try to attempt what you're saying, unless you know of some way...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
Well, IF it had booted enough to mount storage and start the adb daemon then you would use adb shell to locate the file.

Example:

adb shell

cd /sdcard/DCIM/

ls -la

Assuming your filename is in there, it its name is VID_20170104_011325.mp4 then you could exit the shell and do this:

adb pull /sdcard/VID_20170104_011325.mp4
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] czbwoi:
Only place I can seem to enter adb commands is when I go to apply update from adb, and when I do so the only thing it responds to is adb devices and sideloading, presumably because that is all it allows me to do in that mode. When I enter adb shell I get error: closed
