The only thing i have installed that is also different is a tmobile logo. Its on cydia, its called crispier tmobile logo. Do u think that has any affect? I can turn i off and on on winterboard.

I'm actually on the side of leaving the APN editable, but I'm going to play devils advocate for a minute.

I think that in the spirit of getting things right that the bundles should be left locked down, at least for now. Once everything works the way it should, and SpookyET is pretty sure he has all the right setting combos nailed down, we can return to the idea of opening the Network prefs back up.

The only reason I say this is because if you read through this thread there are far more "OMG! It BrOke mY pHone" posts than "Thanks, worked great" posts. There's no way to tell if the "OMG! It BrOke mY pHone" posts are real issues, or if it's just some moron tinkering with things and breaking it. Well, there are at least a couple people in this thread where it's pretty obvious they were tinkering with things and broke it. Between SpookyET and myself we have a pretty good range of test phones and plans to play with, but with T-Mobile nothing is ever 100% cut and dry. That and the diversity of users using unlocked iPhones complicates the process of getting everything right.

Now, I will say that every time I install a new bundle from this thread the first thing I do is switch it back to editable, and anyone who wants to do the same has the same power I do. The process for doing so is actually documented somewhere in this thread. If you're savvy enough to know when and why you might need to modify your APN, you're probably savvy enough to modify a carrier.plist.

Disclaimer: I'm just the MMS fix guy, the guy who tests some things now and then, and the guy who does a little research. SpookyET builds these things, and even though we recently discovered we may well share a zip, we still might not always share the same opinion.

As long as it's winterboard based and installed to /var/stash/Themes directory I wouldn't think it should. You can try turning it off, but I don't know that it will make a difference.

Swap sims with your wife for a minute, see if your problems follow the sim or the phone.

Why don't you modify the IPCC file to install the logos officially? The logos in the first post are the same, except the one black, which is fully white since the pink T is hard to see. You've seen the screen-shots in the thread. Some pages back, I posted exactly how to change the logos.

I stay away from WinterBoard and MobileSubstrate. They introduce too much instability. MobileSubstrate is used to inject code into running apps. You never know what you get. If you don't use themes, and just installed WinterBoard for the logo, consider uninstalling it and doing it properly.

spooky and ironicirony you are pimps. i love you so much. tethering, internet surfing, high-quality MMS (i sent myself an MMS and it came back perfect) are all working now. i am using:

iPhone 3g
iPhone 3.0
T-Mobile MyFaves 600 (Individual)
Unlimited data/messaging ($34.99/month, just signed up with T-mobile on saturday, so i'm guessing i've got the G1 plan)
t-mobile-us-postpaid_flexpaid.ipcc

tethering and internet browsing worked great at first. MMS was still blurry initially but i rebooted my phone and now it is pristine.

thanks again

Turn off carrier testing mode in iTunes.
Push works.

iPhone 3g
iPhone 3.0
prepaid sidekick plan
t-mobile-us-prepaid_sidekick

Tethering works great!!
MMS does not work. The camera shows up but it will not finish sending. Though, I'm not entirely sure if the plan supports mms.
(I also tried the flexpay sidekick ipcc with the same results)

Tethering was the main thing I really wanted. You rock, Thanks!

So how do you get tethering to work? is there a guide?

iphone 2G 3.0


MMS is perfect, but no menu to enable tethering. Now what do I need to do?

[makav911]

What's the difference between 1.0.4 vs 1.0.5? Thanks

Do you have Internet access?
Settings > General > Network > Internet Tethering

What's your T-Mobile plan and how long have you had it?

[phreakwenci]

This is what my network menu looks like. I've been with tmobile since 2004 and I've always had the 19.99 internet plan. that's why I used legacy. I'm looking at my carrier.plist and I don't see anything for tethering in it. should there be and if so what should it look like?
