As an update, in case anybody looks at this page again (haha), I figured out that each time the signal drops and then comes back (usually within seconds), it performs the above “refreshing sim…” Maybe it’s because my phone is either not 100% compatible with AT&T (my bet) or because it has old firmware (wasn’t the case before, when I was with AT&T in VA…) So, who knows.

Just thought I’d throw that out there. Laterrrr.

Here’s one for you - everything on my Ming works great, though I don’t think the picture tx/rx works (don’t care about that). Note: I have AT&T. The problem I’m having is that it periodically/randomly pops up a message saying “refreshing sim card, please wait” and then blanks my screen except for a thin menu across the middle of the screen. I just “x” it out and it’s back to normal/what I was doing. Rather than rambling on for no reason with extraneous details, does this sound familiar to anyone? Note: it didn’t do it prior to transferring my number from VA to NC…

By the way, I really like the phone. In my experience with cell phones (since 1995), this is one of the best I’ve ever owned. The signal works great, the internet is quicker than dial-up, IMO, it has all the features I’d ever want and plenty more, and I just love the design/engineering that was put into it. It’s quite the head-turner too, not that that’s a good reason to buy a cell phone. If yours has poor volume or the keypad is shot (in a relatively new phone), you were one of the few unlucky folks. Go for a refund, repair, or replacement and enjoy it like you should be.

Keep it real.

I purchased a Motorola Ming A1200 from Ebay. No one from AT&T knows how to set up the Media Net web browser for use in the U.S.. I called Motorola and they have a Moto Ming Department. They gave me the settings to be able to use the internet in the U.S. with this phone but when it didn’t work, I called AT&T back and AT&T had me change some of the settings Motorola gave me. I was still getting an error message “Network Problem” or “Connect Media Net failed. Try Again?”.
This is what Motorola told me to put into my settings:

Open the Setup App.
Scroll down to Data Network.
Select Menu -> New to Create a profile.

Profile Name: MediaNet
GPRS setting:
APN: wap.cingular
User Name: motA1200
Password: CINGULAR1 (ALL UPPERCASE)
Time Out: Off
Primary Gateway IP: 66.209.11.32
Port: 80
Secondary Gateway IP: 66.209.11.32
Port: 80
DNS Server: NO CHECK MARK
CSD setting:
Dial in number
Query at Logon: (NO CHECK MARK)
User Name
Password
Baud Rate Auto
Line Type: Modem
Time Out Off
DNS Server: NO CHECK MARK

Open your Browser App -> Menu -> Setup -> Profiles -> Menu -> New

Profile name: MediaNet
Homepage: wap.cingular.com
Network link: Choose the Data Profile you created in step 2 (MediaNet)
Make sure the dot is filled in beside MediaNet once you have completed this.

———————————————————————————————————-
This is what AT&T told me to change in my settings:

Select Menu -> New to Create a profile.

Profile Name: MediaNet
GPRS setting:
APN: wap.cingular
User Name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1 (ALL UPPERCASE)
Time Out: Off
Primary Gateway IP: 66.209.11.32
Port: 80
Secondary Gateway IP: (BLANK)
Port: (BLANK)
DNS Server: CHECK MARK
1) 000.000.000.000
2) 000.000.000.000
CSD setting:
Dial in number
Query at Logon: (NO CHECK MARK)
User Name
Password
Baud Rate: Auto
Line Type: ISDN
Time Out: 5 MINS
DNS Server: CHECK MARK
1) 000.000.000.000
2) 000.000.000.000

When I add the 0’s under DNS Server and put the check mark in DNS Server like
I’m being told to do by AT&T, I get an error message: “Invalid IP Address” and I can’t
get out of Settings without unchecking DNS Server but I still cannot connect.

Also, GPRS shows Enabled but GPRS Link shows Disconnected.
I’m trying to find out if this is affecting the connection in some kind of way.
The ‘G’ icon on my home screen is grayed out and it was black when I first set up the phone.
I know that this icon has to be dark to indicate the GPRS signal is on.
I don’t know how to fix this but I wonder if it could fix my problem.

If anyone has already dealt with this successfully, please help!!!!!!!!!!
