Guest BeyondtheTech Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I HAVE DONE IT! I love this phone so much that I decided to create an easy-to-use, step-by-step guide on how to convert a fully AT&T Wireless-branded and personalized Audiovox SMT5600 into a full-fledged Cingular Smartphone. The explicit GPRS/WAP settings for use with the Media Works data plan has been corrected from previous threads and fully tested to be operational. The zip file comes complete with the verified instructional guide in PDF form, replacement banner graphics (made by yours truly), and utilities to modify the registry and settings. Thanks to everyone on the forums who made this guide possible. Now, everyone, switch over from your buggy MPx200/MPx220, go get the SMT5600, and use this guide! http://www.beyondthetech.com/downloads/pho...600Cingular.zip Enjoy it, everyone!

Guest bobblah Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Good job! Now if someone could only make one for T-mobile USA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trever Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 (edited) Good job! Now if someone could only make one for T-mobile USA! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Here ya go. Just download BeyondtheTech's ZIP file containing the necessary files and instructions. Just replace the cingular_startup.gif file with the t-mobile_startup.gif file and the branding_cingular.gif file with the branding_t-mobile.gif file. Copy these files to the specified paths within the instructions. Also specify the new T-mobile \path\filename within the screenchanger.exe program when run and also the registry when edited. Click here for http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=4861>GPRS settings. Your APN may vary from either: wap.voicestream.com (WAP), internet2.voicestream.com (non-VPN) or internet3.voicestream.com (VPN). t-mobile_startup.gif branding_t-mobile.gif Edited January 5, 2005 by trever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jleecong Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Good job! Now if someone could only make one for T-mobile USA! <{POST_SNAPBACK}>It's been done. I used it when I got my phone almost 2 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jleecong Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Click here for GPRS settings. Your APN may vary from either: wap.voicestream.com (WAP), internet2.voicestream.com (non-VPN) or internet3.voicestream.com (VPN). Those are way old and as far as I know don't reflect T-Mobile blocking port 80 on the routers. This is the thread I did with the new correct settings. http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=ST&f=6...t=0#entry480156 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yoos Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 hmm, i that setting was already set to that number.... is there any other setting that could be wrong? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you sure T-Mobile enabled sms for you? I had a problem before where they even thought they enabled it, but after the fourth call they connected me to some more techy people that found an issue with provisioning or something... It turned out that it was a problem on their side and not mine. I did tell them I was using a phone they don't sell also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimmymacv Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I just switched to Cingular from ATT using my SMT5600 so I really appreciate the instructions you gave on enabling internet and MMS. Thanks! I have a question though -- voicemail notification is now appearing as a text message from "05" When I get a new message, when I delete a message, when I save a message -- anything with voicemail sends one text message to my phone "05". Is there any way to fix this? Is the SMS service center for Cingular +14047259000 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mobile-distortion Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I had posted two files in the downloads section a while back. They should be the same info you are looking for plus more. I no longer have my '5600 and visit the forums every week or so lurking for new phones/info ... so please no more emails about this....I still get 2-3 emails a week asking for them.... links: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=dscrip...etails&f_id=677 http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=dscrip...etails&f_id=676 Hope this helps :) |d| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cfjgrind Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Does anyone know how to enter the "\" symbol from within the phone keypad while using the ScreenChanger.exe program from the Smt5600Cingular.zip package.. in particular its this step from within the PDF guide... mMode screen at startup: Copy the provided cingular_startup.gif file to the \Storage\windows folder. Copy the Screen Changer and QuickReset utilities to \Storage\Program Files. Launch Screen Changer on your Smartphone. Change Boot Screen 2 to \Storage\windows\cingular_startup.gif. Click on Options, then Update Screens, then Quit. Launch QuickReset to view and verify the new startup graphic. I can't type the "\" or the underscore "_" needed for cingular_startup.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RonV42 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Great Guide....I have have been fighting with the "Blue" side of Cingular for a week now saying that I just want to convert to the "Orange" side. They kept stating that I had a AT&T branded phone and it won't work. They just want to sell more hardware from my perspective. Well I found a spare Cingluar SIM card and to prove my phone was unlocked I went to a Cingular store and explained my situation to the manager. He let me borrow one of his working SIM's and put it into my AT&T branded SMT5600 and it worked just fine on the "Orange/Cingular" network. I was then able to convert my AT&T to Cingluar over the phone stating that I already had a Cingular phone (I lied) and they just took the MEI number and the Sim number and within 5 minutes I was good to go. I then applied all the settings from the guide and now my phone looks Cingular. I am now getting GPRS (MEdiaNet) services unlimited for 19.95 month vs. what AT&T would charge 44.00 month. The usefullness of this phone with unlimited networking has now doubled for me..... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
