Is there any reason to believe that this hack could also be applied to t-mobile's sidekick plan?

I was under the impression that the issue with that particular plan was also proxy-specific.

Humble: if you are not seeing SystemConfigurion i am not sure why. I use winscp (win) or fetch (mac) to move files its alot easier than command line.

God damn!! Im going blind!!! I found it LOL. Thanks! If I buy another iPhone does it come with free prescription eye glasses? LOL

I went to the journal but I didn't quite understand this line:

"The best way I know of is to use scp. From a shell on your computer run:

scp root@10.0.32.5:/private/var/root/Lib...eferences.plist"

My $5.99 T-mobile Web plan is working great. The following apps are working with the posted proxy settings:

Mail - Yes
Safari - Yes
Weather - Yes
Stock - Yes
Maps - Yes
Installer - Yes
YouTube - Yes and No

You cannot search YouTube videos but you can view any video currently displayed and previously bookmarked videos. My guess is that YouTube queries uses a different port, but video playback uses the standard port.

@syasses - great post. lot of people have been looking for this hack. thanks.

can someone dumb this down so that an idiot like me can figure out how to do this. A tutorial would be helpful. Thanks everyone!

So...I had an XDA phone and a lot of experience with it on T-Mobile and $5.99 T-Zones. Basically works like this

proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080 (which everyone knows)
apn: wap.voicestream.com (or maybe its wap.myvoicestream.com) well regardless.

I used to have complete access, could use any third party web access, visit any page. I noticed that it just stopped one day, which leads me to believe it has been brought to attention and stopped in some markets (for example Tucson, AZ where I'm from). Currently all I get is incoming email on Edge (a nice teaser if you ask me)

I tried the hacks in this thread, switched back and forth from Mac (BBEdit) to PC (iBrickr) so I wouldn't screw this up. Nothing seems to have happened I don't know if I messed up the code or something when I copy pasted it. Well after trying this, I don't think my mail is working, so good thing I saved a backup.

If anyone succeeds with this and knows some programming, please make this an app so that we can all test and figure this out. Keep up the hard work everyone!

i am so lost, lol, i see en0: flags blah blah blah inet 192.168.2.94

so i put 192.168.2.94 into the host box in winSCP, but when i click connect, it says "network error: connection refused" what is the port supposed to be?

edit: nm, i just used ibrickr, very easy.

For the 5.99 T-mo users who can't search youtube (i cant get anything to work at all, but I think its on my end) you can use iphone.dailymotion.com/us in safari and can search and everything on there

for those having issues please paste in your preferences entry (Just proxy part) and ur proxy.pac file contents. It will be easier to help you out. Also make sure your provider settings are working. To test those go to dial pad and call *3001#12345#* then call. This will bring up field test mode look at the pdp ( i think) link then see if you provider has given you sn IP address. This is very important since your proxy.pac file uses this address to determine whether you use a proxy or go direct.

Good luck so far the majority who have used it returned some sort of success.

I just confirmed it and it is not that slow either!

123.1kbps using iphonenetworktest.com

Google Maps - Yes
Safari - Yes
Weather - Yes
Stocks - Yes
Mail - YES

Cut and paste this code and save it as proxy.pac

Code:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
return "PROXY 216.155.165.50:8080";
else
return "DIRECT";
}

and then make the same changes to the preferences.plist file mentioned in the first post. the changes are on line 352 of the preferences.plist file.

now my iPhone is complete

kdub3000 and syasses,
if I know the IP address that TMobile has given to me (dialing *3001#12345#* and going at pdp) shall I use it for the proxy.pac file, or I should use the generic one that you indicate. Also, is the subnet mask always 255.0.0.0 or is there a way to retrieve it your own ?

Thanks
