EDGE problems/Swirly MMS Errors

[Lace]

I've been trying to work this out for a while. So here goes:
I installed the t-zones hack from from cydia and used the epc.tmobile.com apn and edge worked fine. Only problem was that swirly mms would give me the "Fetch error : failed to GET: timeout of error when reading http header..." when i was doing a test send, and i haven't been able to receive anything either. I'm sure my settings are correct since the m turns green, meaning it connected to the server correctly.

So i've been trying different methods.
1-Tried using wap.voicestream.com as my EDGE apn, but didnt work.
2-Tried using the epc.tmobile.com apn without the t-zones hack but EDGE didnt work at all.
Now i'm right back where I started. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have tried the same techniques that the guy above me used and nothing seems to work. Only difference is that i didn't download the tzones hack and my internet over edge works fine and the only problem is this Swirly thing isn't working...PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!! Thanks

Alright, I had the same issue when EPC first came out, first i uninstalled swirlymms and then setup the EPC.tmobile.com WITHOUT tzones hack, there is no need for it, then i installed swirly again and set it up using the wap apn in swirly's settings, Everything has worked fine ever since

If you are going to use epc.tmobile.com without the BB Hack you should turn on data roaming. It will fix your problem and you wont get charged anything for having it switched on.

is this confirmed? how would we not get charged for data roaming.. if we ARE roaming?

Ok i feel that i tried everything...Everytime i try to send a picture it says, "Failed to send MMS" "The network reported: unsupported message." Can someone please help me in to wat i should do? Thanks.

Are you using the t-zones hack or are you paying the $20 for the total internet thingy? When you open up swirly is the little edge looking icon at the top right green or grey? Do you have the correct swirly settings?
For t-mobile
mmsc should be http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
proxy should be 216.155.165.50:8080

the apn and username can be left blank as long as they are correct in your iphone

which apn are you using
wap.voicestream.com or wap.internet2.com

[bigdrdok]

I have all the correct settings and i use wap.voicestream.com and i aslo use tzones for $5.99 with no tzones hack needed cus my edge works for all my other apps including internet. I did try using the tzones hack from cydia but it made no differnce. I have a valid license for swirly mms and everything..I just dont know wat else there is to do...

Compiled from other posts on this forum (Thanks guys). This worked for me with firmware 2.1 on Tmobile with T-Zones

Previously I had the T-zones hack installed from Cydia. If you have this do the following steps to use the new apn otherwise skip down to step 6.

1. From cydia, remove T-Zones hack, exit Cydia
2. Go to Settings->General->Reset and select Reset Network Settings, this will force a reboot.
3. Go to Settings->General->Network->Cellular Data Network. type the following:

APN: epc.tmobile.com

Username: (leave blank)

Password: (leave blank)

4. Do a full reset of the phone.
5. With WIFI off, Open Safari and verify you have internet working. It takes about 1-3 refreshes to work the first time.

6. From Cydia, install SwirlyMMS (latest version: 1.2.9), requires a reboot.
7. Open swirlymms, click DEMO, then OK to get license, after click DONE, then the RIGHT ARROW to go into the swirlymms program main window.
8. From SwirlyMMS, click on settings on the bottom middle and put in the following information (may be case sensitive)

MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms

Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080

APN: wap.voicestream.com

Username: (leave blank)

Password: (leave blank)

Image size: High

serAgent: SE_W800i

click save.
9. Click on the Compose icon on the bottom left and type in your cell phone number and send a MMS to yourself to verify both outgoing and incoming messages work.

Good luck,
Swakel

My swirlymms is still not working. I've tried everything in this thread. I can't download anything from Cydia because I get an error message in that too, something about http unknown. Does anyone know where else I can turn to get this working and Cydia as well?

I was in your boat dc. I originally had swirly working, then did some modifications putting on other apps and games on my phone. I did a lot of permission mods and messed with the safari download pluggin. After that, swirly didn't work and cydia wouldn't install anything. I repwned my phone with a fresh custon 2.1 and used the info provided by swakel and it worked like a charm. Swirly and cydia working again.
