I installed the Big-Boss T-Mobile custom carrier bundle in cydia because I was getting the annoying message to download new settings every time I connected to iTunes.
The problem went away but now my iPhone displays the carrier as "T -..." instead of "T-Mobile". The bundle seems to have added a space before and after the dash between the T and Mobile, and now it doesn't fit anymore.
Also the description promised the better graphic version of the logo but that didn't work. I even tried to install that separately with cydia with no luck.
Anybody has any ideas on how to fix this?

Anijake thanks, i did what you said and everything worked perfectly. I've been trying to figure out how to get a custom logo working on my 2.1 iPhone. Thanks for you help, really easy to do.

this did not work on 2.1 for some reason?

Your instructions don't make sense. In your readme, you state, "Copy your carrier bundle TMobile_us_custom.bundle from your PC into the directory on the iPhone." There is no such file/folder in your ZIP file. Where is this to be found. Also, you don't say what to do with the individual files in the ZIP file.

You have uncovered this thread from the dead. Its from August2008...these bundles are in Cydia - search for "Legacy" and you'll see them there.

No.

What he needs to do is read the carrier bundle thread and see what settings work for him and find the appropriate bundle in Cydia.

"Legacy" is just that, legacy.

It's a bundle for an older APN which T-Mobile doesn't really provision to new users. The new internet2 APN is epc.tmobile.com.

Yes it does. Legacy is the same bundle that SpookyET made in Cydia. internet2 still well works for most T-mobile users - new and old.

Legacy is only one bundle. There should be a total of eight (8) bundles.

Once again, it is called legacy for a reason.

The go-to bundle is the first one in the thread: Postpaid/Flexpaid (sans "Lecgacy").

1. Your very reliable WIKI page has absolutely no sources. Which means a 12 year old can go there and write whatever he wants.

2. If you have web2go (like MOST iPhone users who don't want to pay for a retarder, expensive smarthpone plan which only yields the same edge speed) and try using epc.tmobile.com, you will get the "Data Service Required" error whenever you try to access data. Hence, internet2.voicestream.com is STILL the most reliable APN for web2go users. And once again, making legacy (internet2) still active.

You clearly have no idea about Howard forums.

No. internet2.voicestream.com is the APN for full (smartphone) internet. It was used for the old Total Internet Add-On plan which used to cost $19.99 (unlimited data and Wi-Fi hotspots). There were only two internet plans back then: Total Internet and T-Zones ($5.99). However, T-Zones used to be cheaper and was offered many (limited) times at discount prices. This was before they even offered EDGE!

After the release of the iPhone and the discovery of the proxy hack, T-Mobile realized they had to retire T-Zones (I'm sure there were other reasons). T-Zones used to use wap.voicestream.com as its APN which had port restrictions; in layman's terms: no YouTube, no instant messengers, limited streaming if that, and a very slow gateway.

Then with the release of the G1, epc.tmobile.com became the new de facto APN and internet2 started to retire. Hence Spooky's label of Legacy. Epc could even be used with T-Zones with no port restrictions, which eventually led to the proxy hack's retirement. T-Zones users finally had full web access for $5.99 (or less) at a faster speed (there are claims that epc uses compression to speed up loading).

All new internet plans are meant to use the epc.tmobile.com APN. T-Mobile even uses this APN for MMS too (instead of wap.voicestream.com)! Anyone grandfathered on the old Total Internet package is advised to use the (once again) Legacy bundle -> grandfather(ed), legacy. Get the connection?

You keep telling people to use internet2 yet you have no idea about their plan history. That is why it is always good to link them to the carrier bundle thread and let them work from there.

Just because an APN works for you doesn't mean it'll work for everyone. Not every T-Mobile network across the country works the same. I have web2go and internet2.voicestream.com does not work for me -> "You are not subscribed to a cellular data service." Yet the old wap and new epc APNs work just fine.

The spreading of disinformation is not the best way to help anyone.

So I'm guessing the Technical Support reps from T-mobile must be spreading this misinformation you are talking about as well, guided by the very strong Wikipedia sources you are citing. They told me, and this is a fact, that the internet2 APN is for web2go. They told me the internet3 is for full smartphone plans. Everyone that has asked what the APN for web2go has thanked me because it worked, and these are not locals. So when you research something try to stay off wikipedia.

Man you just don't know. So much disinformation.

First of all, that isn't Wikipedia. That's Howardforums' wiki page (do some research on Howardforums).

Secondly, you seem to hear what you want to hear. Or maybe you're on your own plane of existence.

internet3.voicestream.com is for VPN only!

The facts are there. If you can't get or understand them, then maybe you should move along.
