    Default Edge on 3g

    Ssh into the phone. Change the preferences.plist, apply the tzones hack through cydia, and change apn in cellular data network to sap.voicestream.com.

    did you end up fixing the problem?

    I run into the same thing,

    I tried several APN settings

    wap.voicestream.com
    internet2.voicestream.com
    epc.tmobile.com

    all of them failed?

    the EDGE just does not want to work, even E sign does not show up,

    i have refreshed EDGE settings several times through Bosspref

    diactevated cellular data netowrk back and forth several time

    rebooted phone several times, obveously all in the right order

    even reset network settings to original state and then tried to change APN settings

    still did not work,

    t-zone hack does not work either with wap.voicestream.com settings, but from my understanding and from what I have read all around it is not nessesary anymore if you have $5.99 data plan from t-mobile and epc.tmobile.com for APN settins.
    well that does not work either, and i do have a data plan.

    has anyone solved the problem yet?

    I would apreciate any input

    Some sims have such problems. I had similar problems with edge and after much reading on several forums, didn't successfully solve this problem. Finally someone told me that sometimes the turbo sim card can cause such problems. I switched cards ( bought mine from Unlock iPhone 3G - Instant Unlock any iPhone recently ) This solved my Edge problem.
