T-mobile 3G / T-Mobile 3g network now visable in Milwaukee, WI

« on: July 04, 2009, 01:02:04 pm »

I am from chicago and already have 3g but am taking a trip up to milwaukee for a day or so and noticed on my tm506 that i can see the 3g network listed. Can't use it but it's there! Soon! Not having 3g sucks with my g1.

T-Mobile Services / Possible: How to change image quality settings w/epc apn.

« on: December 08, 2008, 06:09:17 pm »

I could be wrong here, but i noticed when i used the epc apn, it always seems to connect to this ip address: 2.2.2.2.
I went to it using firefox and i came up with a Harmony Acceleration Settings. It let me pick the image quality! Try going to http://2.2.2.2/ on your phone/pda/data card and see if it makes a difference. I am on an amtrak now, in gprs land so its taking too long for me. (Dam T-Mobile edge network sucks in Illinois. Go past chicagoland and your stuck in dial up! When i was in Florida, i had edge for a heck of a lot longer going north of tampa! The only good part of gprs is that while the pages go a bit slower, its a more steady connection. Edge would time out occasionally but i NEVER time out w/gprs. Going 60-70 on amtrak that is... 3g, while it worked on the train, was sweet with my data card!)

Someone post back so i can find out.

G1 Discussion / Enable 3g only mode!

« on: October 28, 2008, 09:10:51 pm »

This is pretty easy. Install Any Cut. Create a new shortcut, then pick activity, then scroll all the way to the bottom and make a shortcut for Testing. When your done, go back the the main screen and select the new shortcut. Hit Phone Information. At the bottom, you can pick the network preference! WCMDA Preferred, gsm only, WCDMA only or Unknown. (i don't know what unknown does).

So, if your looking to prevent your g1 from going to edge when you get a low signal, try this trick.

General Android Questions / SMS/Messaging issue. Names keep coming up wrong!

« on: October 28, 2008, 08:05:21 am »

I am having an issue with messaging. I am going to try my best to explain it. It all started out when i got a text/sms/mms from bank of america. No big deal. It just sends me a daily alert showing my balance. I deleted it. No big deal. I got a sms from my brother Anthony. Instead of showing his name, it shows the email address from bank of america! If my mom sends me a sms, it shows bank of america! I can't get rid of this bank of america email address! It's not listed in my contacts anywhere. I can live without my bank of america alerts, not big deal but that wont fix the current issue.

The email address it saves it as is onlinebanking@alert.bankofamerica.com
I just deleted all threads and sent a text to my brother and it showed it as bank of america! I am half tempted to format this thing, tell bank of america to never send me alerts, and see if that fixes it. (i want to switch gmail addresses anyway so i might do it anyway, but i don't want to do it now.).

Anybody have a fix?
thanks in advance!

edit: i saved a contact for bank of america and it still shows it as bank of america when i send a sms to people. (With the exception of one person, who comes up right)

T-mobile 3G / Tampa 3G is Live!

« on: October 21, 2008, 05:26:23 am »

Well, i woke up this morning and rebooted my phone. What do you know? 3g! (my tm506 shows 3g icons.) I do live in a weak spot so it bounces back and forth between edge and 3g. I can't use data on edge but can using 3g. I hope someone makes an app on g1 to select 3g only.

T-mobile 3G / 3g and low signal question

« on: October 14, 2008, 08:22:10 am »

I live in an area with poor signal. (Tampa, FL) I get 1 bar in my apartment but do get 2 -3 bars in some areas. I don't usually lose a call or anything. I see the t-mobile 3g network but it's not live here. I always see it. When i am in the bathroom area (there is a computer next right next to the door), i lose all signal and get full bars emergency calls only. But when i do a network scan, i see t-mobile 3g, and att. No 2g t-mobile. Is it going to be possible that the 3g network might work a little better? I don't know yet since it's not launched here in tampa yet.

The second question i had is i don't have any type of data service at home. None! I see edge but with one or two bars, it doesn't work. I have to go to my patio and try to use it there. Do you think 3g will be the same way or will 3g work a little better with lower signal? I talked to t-mobile customer care, and even the t-mobile engineering group (through the employee fix line) and they say nothing is wrong. Did a handset exchange and that still did not work. This is on ALL of my lines here. But they wanted to do an exchange anyway. (shipping costs wasted!) I am hoping 3g will work, or my g1 will love wifi here!

Sony Ericsson Discussion / A unbranded TM506! I somehow did it with davinciteam.

« on: October 05, 2008, 02:56:58 pm »

I bought a credit on davinciteam telling it i had a z780i and managed to flash my tm506 with a z780 firmware. I don't know how, but it worked. The menu was in a different language when it first booted up but it immediately gave me the option to change it back to English. I did not have an data indicator at near the signal at first, so i though that the z780 had that disabled as well, but in the settings, it was defaulted to not use gprs/edge/3g for data. I had to manually tell the phone to use data. Then it appeared! I sent the settings to the phone via the t-mobile configurator (the k850i settings).

Good things:
Google maps w/gps!
TrackID!!
Fm Radio with RDS Support.

Bad things:
No telenav. I downloaded it and manually put it on the phone and it still did not work. You are forced to pay for wayfinder. I don't know if it's any better. Have not tried it yet. Can't be much worse.
No t-mobile address book sync. (mobical fixes that!)
No Instant Messaging. ( i use eqo.com anyway. much quicker than the default IM app on the tm506 and it uses data!)

There is no 3g signal in my area right now (Tampa, FL) So i can't check 3g data but if i get a 3g icon, i will be happy! You can manually select gsm and 3g or just gsm in the menu options.
Here are a few pics.
