T-Mobile USA Carrier Bundles: Bluetooth, Internet, MMS, & Tethering (2G/3G/3GS/4)

**SpookyET** · 07-02-2009, 06:28 PM

Perhaps I'll have to do Cydia packages myself after all. It's not that hard. I just want other people involved in the project because I will leave T-Mobile when I move, and someone else will have to take over the project.

BigBoss has been contacted. We'll see what he has to say about this.

Hey guys. Quick question. I previously downloaded 1.0.2 with the "custom" T-mobile package. I have a 2G, T-mobile USA, T-zone. Everything is working great. Sending/recieving/picture quality. However, I am only allowed to use the Wap.voicestream.com settings. Anytime I try to change it for my carrier settings my MMS goes blank. Will the updated package fix this so Im able to use EPC.tmobile.com?

Thanks

You cannot use epc for MMS. That's it. I'll disable the Cellular Data Network menu for good like official Apple carriers in the next update. If you're roaming or insert an unknown SIM, you'll see it again.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

ok so i am having another problem not updating my gf's 3g, mms works but internet dont work. i used tmobile_us_postpaid.ipcc. i asked her what internet plan she has and she thinks the $5.99 plan. APN network settings ar not available to change either

**zappamann** · 07-02-2009, 07:11 PM

Sorry if i wasnt clear.

Im not looking to change my MMS APN. (It is currently showing Wap.voicestream.com and working great.) What I am looking to do is change my Cellular Data APN from wap.voicestream.com to epc.tmobile.com. Everytime i try to change my Cellular Data from the Wap to the EPC, the APN for MMS dissapears.

Which version of the package do you have? Which bundle are you using? wap is used for prepaid only. No other bundle has it. epc will not work on prepaid.

Get the latest version.

As the author, you obviously have the right to include or remove any feature you'd like. But if you remove the ability to change the settings and a user needs to change an APN as has been mentioned, then the user is SOL.

Personally I think you should have a readme or something that tells people they are responsible for whatever they put on their phone, and if it doesn't work, then they only have themselves to blame.

That said...however, if you remove the ability to modify the settings, you also remove the "Reset Settings"; and that feature is important for anyone that may have an issue with their phone.

Anyway, thanks so much for making this available.

Weird. It's not the bundles fault. It's not querying the internet. It's not running apps. It's not making your phone hot. If Internet works for you now when it previously did not, it's got to be a setting or an app who just found internet access and is draining your battery.

Maybe, for Cydia, someone will help me create a menu in the settings that would allow you to switch between different T-Mobile plans. So, there will be a single package instead of 12.

If you install an IPCC file, reset settings will not reset to factory default. It will reset to IPCC. So, if you change your apn, and type reset settings, the settings I made will be restored. That menu is not much use.

I meant that I DO NOT SUPPORT 2G phones. But, others on this thread may help you.

**iBall23** · 07-02-2009, 10:40 PM

im havin that problem on my 3G

**SpookyET** · 07-02-2009, 10:50 PM

Cydia/Icy packages sent to BigBoss for investigation.

You can either edit the carrier.plist directly on the phone and switch the apn to epc, or you can try the change settings/reboot trick. The carrier.plist edit will give 100% results, the change settings/reboot trick works for some, but not others.

The carrier.plist you need to edit should be in /private/var/mobile/Library/Carrier Bundle.bundle. Once you find it the line you need to change should be pretty obvious.

The save settings/reboot trick is simply changing the setting, and immediately rebooting by way of the sleep/wake button without exiting out of the settings app.

Of course you could just use the t-mobile-us-postpaid_flexpaid.ipcc from the latest zip which uses epc and wap in the configuration you want.

----

Of Note: This isn't a bug related to this ipcc, I saw it with my own custom ipcc long before these files came along. I've also seen it rear it's head on both a 2G and 3G phone with no ipcc installed.

i downloaded the new one with the blackberry postpaid it works now thanks guys

**phreakwenci** · 07-03-2009, 12:30 AM

I searched but came up dry, is there a tutorial on how to use tethering with this carrier bundle now? and if not, can someone point me in the right direction.

One other thing for SpookyET, first thanks to both you and ironicirony for all your brilliant work for bringing us MMS on 3.0. I really appreciate it, and I realize you're trying to save us from ourselves with removing the setting to edit our apn's. However, it seems that more of us will be voicing our interest in having it back. I use both apn's depending on where I'm at, mostly internet2 works, but if I'm in North Carolina, and the carrier switches (as it does once your cross the NC state line it seems from VA) then I need to switch it, or I'm SOL. I travel the entire midatlantic and northeast weekly. My iphone is now my personal computer. So I need to have the ability to adapt to my surroundings and change things on the fly, which is the reason I love jailbraking to begin with, it takes the control out of apples hands and into ours. I understand your point, and for the majority of mac users who don't care about the technology, they just want to use it, it's more than a valid point. But for those of us who care about it all, when you say that you're not allowing us to have an editable network config menu, it makes me think of apple's dictatorship on not allowing us to make our phones what we want.

I know you're not a dictator, and you want to do what's best for the people, but open source is the best thing for the people. We take it into our own hands when we screw something up. it's our responsibility, not yours, but if you take away that ability completly, then we only have you to ***** at and blame for it. And that's not fair to you.

Just my thoughts, again I understand where you're coming from. It makes sense, but not for all of us. Do we out weigh the populous? I dunno... give it a bit of time, and we'll know. But I'd really prefer to have control over what my phone does, then having that control taken from me.

**martee** · 07-03-2009, 12:45 AM

Yes I'd just like to say thank you to SpookyET and ironicirony again.

They have really gone out of the way to help everybody. This morning Spooky was right on it on unlocking the APN settings. That fixed my phone right up.

I agree that leaving them unlocked to edit is a good choice. And if the user changes the APN's up, and thier mms or internet stops working...that's not spooky's or ironicirony's issue. Although that may seem hard because these guys seem to really care and want to help people fix there phones.

So here to you Spooky and ironicirony! Thanks for your hard work
