Telecom NZ - Upgrade Issues (and fixs)

[onslaught86]

Tried a few more things - haven't got around to tethering yet due to not being that keen to spend monies on speed-testing data, for the record I've got my Titan connected via TelstraClear's on-sold TCNZ service, so I just get data at the fun regular overusage rate of $3/meg. Ah well, beats 1c/kb. As far as I'm aware (And I'm fairly aware, I work for TCL, hence having the plan) the only difference is that the data is not filtered by TCNZ at all, authentication should be identical.

The hex ESN is, er, definitely not an acceptable HDR password. In fact, nothing at all appears to be the best bet. Sometimes I get 'failed to connect for an unknown reason', sometimes it flashes to 1X, then back to EvDO, but it will solidly connect if I try a few times. Of note is that my HDR username has the letters in my hex ESN all in lower case, I tried upper case and it wouldn't play nicely at all.

I've read that regular SMS and voice services use 1X, so 1X data is 100% unavailable when connected to a call, and that you cannot send or receive texts when connected to 1X data. I've confirmed I can send and receive texts when connected, so that should mean I'm definitely not connected to 1X, yeah?

As an aside, has anyone had any joy with MMS on TCNZ? I know they decided against the dramas of licensing Arcsoft's third-party app since MMS is not WinMo native, but the only info I've found on TCNZ MMS gateways has reportedly been for XT. Shouldn't they be the same platforms anyway? Any info would be most interesting and appreciated!
