Hi,

I just upgraded from my Blackjack II to the Epix. I love it.

I am in canada and I have unlocked the phone for use here. I am computer literate and know my way around windows mobile.

I have setup my connection to be under fido and it connects to the 3G network here. BUT everytime the screen goes on standby and it comes back I have this error that says that wap.cingular tried to connect and I have to push Dismiss to clear it. Where is this coming from ? Is there hack or Mod to remove Cingular from the registry not to even dial.


I also noticed that IE does not connect to the internet as well and I get a message that connection was lost. BUT if I use Opera 95 beta 2 version it works like a charm. I have seen complaints and blogs on the wbe that said that this is a know issue. Are there any fixes.

I also saw that XDA developer has a cooked Rom. Is it for this phone ? and is it worth upgrading ?

I'd be careful w. homebrew ROMs, keep in mind that there are TWO versions of the “epix style” PDa-phone from SAMSUNG. The Samsung SGH-i907 (the actual Epix) and the Samsung SGH-i780 (the precedessor, released in JAN 2008). Whats the difference ? the I907 has more updated ROMs, more battery capacity and its missing the second QVGA front-camera for webcamming/video-conferencing. (funny though the exec/driver that controls the front cam still exist in the WinMobile ROM, it's called MIRAGEFRONTCAM.EXE but if you execute it, it runs the actual main-camera on the back, just without the camera-GUI).

So, since you've to deal with THREE ROM within the Epix (ROM for Phone-HW, Kernel/driver ROM for non-phone HW like Bluetooth, WI-FI, USB, SDHC/SDIO, CPU and Windows-OS/User-apps ROM) it's not guaranteed it'll work.

As for your WAP.CINGULAR error – i assume it's part of the phone-ROM API to the WindowsMobile. Did you try to turn on (checkmark it) the “Do Not Use Proxy Server” in SETTINGS – CONNECTIONS – PROXYMANANGER ?

EDIT: I know out of experience that the PocketIE by default is accessing AT&T's MEDIANET intranet, which REQUIRES to “un-check”/utilize the ProxyManager, that way AT&T can track you as customer for purchases like games or ring-tones or making chances to your account.

I stumbled over that, since i was never able to check my remaining SMS/minutes of the ProxyManager is turned off (check-marked), using the PocketIE

Agreed – the Epix is still very young, meaning the chances that a stable ROM exists out there is low. If you're going the cooked ROM route, make sure to be very dilligent in your research before re-flashing your Epix.

I ran into this error today .. everytime i tried to open Opera I received an error about trying to access “wap.cingular” .. I was able to fix the problem by going into my Wireless Manager and turning the “Phone” Off and then back On.

yah happens to me too occasionally, that i cant access the EDGE/3G data-streams, turning on/off the phone-module in the Wireless Manager helps, if that doesnt help “restart” your phone entirely by holding the power-button for a bit.

I also noticed that the phone in “sleep mode” does NOT maintain a WIFI connection, only a EDGE/3D data-connection and bluetooth.

Also,

when i accidently connect to 3G, and i cancel,

then my phone says there was an error connecting go wap.cingular.

so that could also be a software problem for your phone?

well i noticed that the Epix' during “reboot” always wants to connect to the data-streams of EDGE/3G, no idea why though. maybe it's to test if all data-functionalities are working?

I also noticed (can anyone else confirm that?) that at midnight the data-stream connection gets severed by the AT&T network, and it has to “re-dial in” (so to speak)
