Haven't experienced the same issues that required hard reset to fix it (had an issue that required a soft reset tho, but rarely).
Have been using it since Oct 09.

soft reset is not necessary, just need to turn off and on the data connections in the comm manager.

what i did was pop in my sim card then the auto configuration loaded up. After that I had to restart the phone then I was good to go.

Thank you... mine doesn't seem to auto load the settings... I wonder what gives?

I actually had to call to give the my imei details then i was up and away.
it detected my settings the att guy said user/pass wasnt used anymore blanked that out but the rest of the settings were fine

you need to go to start/settings/phone/network
click on find network and that should start the auto config

Same here...
Just slid in my Sim card, turn the X1i on..
Pop show up asking to setup for AT&T...
Do you have the "Generic UK" rom??
Stuart

mine also auto configured when i first put my sim card in. i have an x1a. i found out that my internet connection wouldnt work when i powered down my phone. i had to re configure my networks settings again. now i dont power my phone down when i want to turn off my phone. i just use the communication manager to turn off the phone.
any one else notice that... that is if they power down the phone using the button, that after turning back on, the internet isnt working anymore (onboard internet or my bluetooth dun for tethering doesnt work after powering down unless i re auto configure my phone network settings).

No problem with powering my X1i down at all......
Can connect to both wap and isp access points without a problem..

Data Issues

Running the standard 1.66 ROM on Vodafone UK
Had the HD2 since 1st Feb, all well at the start. 2 weeks ago email stopped sending and receiving and no internet. Rang Vodafone and they said needed a new sim card. Put that in and it worked OK for a day then back to where I was. The problem seems to intermitant but mostly in the afternoons. I had GProfile installed so thought it might be that but still the same. Soft reset doesn't do anything although the phone seems to switch back on will GPRS connected (is this normal?)
To get emails I now need to go to airplane mode and enable the wifi and then I can download and surf. If I leave the data connection on and switch wifi on it doesn't find any connections. Email send and recieve gets stuck showing downloading x of y and a cuple of bars. Opera/IE just shows a blank page.
Spoke with Vodafone again and they say it's the phone, spoke to expanys and they say I need to fill out some form.
It would appear it has something to do with the GPRS
I have BsB installed but otherwise it's just the stock software.
Anyone had this or got any ideas how to fix/test???
Really don't want to go down the replacement phone route :-(

you could try a hard reset of the phone which would send it back to how it was when you first got it

Thanks for the reply
Was thinking that myself or reload 1.66 ROM but just trying to avoid it if possible

Is it the data 3G that wont connect?
Do you get the "Cannot connect for an unknown reason..." popup message? If so, I get this all the time. Had 2 devices and 3 sim cards but not data connection ever. Perhaps this is the reason for the upcoming radio update due very soon.

Unfortunately I live in the 0.5% of the UK where we don't get 3G!!! It's just GPRS. I was down the road the otherday and 3G kept giving me that but when it said H (whatever that is?!) it was fine. It would just appear to be the GPRS f*cking up at various points.

Just had an idea and put my work O2 sim in let it setup for that and then put my Vodafone sim in to refresh the settings.
So far back on the internet and email working
Maybe the Vodafone settings had just been corrupt
Will let you know how it goes
Thanks for the replies.

the H is hsdpa, the fastest speed you will get for browsing

Thanks Richy99, I can only dream of 3G let alone HSDPA!!!!

Well it worked for about a day and now I am back with no internet and emails occasionally. Looks like a new replacement handset......the joys of backing everything up!

telstra hd2 using 3 simcard (hutchinson)

sorry if this has been discussed. its been hard to search b/c the search engine continues to delete "3" from my searches.
basically, i was wondering if people had any issue with 3 sim cards working in the telstra hd2?
my friend has got several hd2 phones from telstra and is offering to sell me one. he assures me the phone is unlocked as well.
we tried plugging my 3 sim card into his telstra hd2 and for some reason i wasn't getting any reception. tried a vodaphone sim and it worked.
i currently have an omnia and know how to change all the mms, internet etc settings but is there something i need to do with the telstra hd2's setting to find 3's 3g network for voice calls?
thanks for any help you guys can provide me.

Technically there shouldn't be any issues with reception. Your friend might have locked his phone to WCDMA 850MHz though, which is a band that only Telstra transmits on. Check his baseband setting.

that is what i was thinking as well, the question is now:
how do i check his basband settings? unfortunately i don't have the phone on my now, but is it is pretty straight forward? i.e. going into settings -> baseband etc?

Open the Comm Manager by tapping the notification area and then on the network reception button. Tap on "Phone" then its on the bottom- "Band"

I have a Telstra HD2, that I bought a week ago, and am using on 3.
The phone is unlocked, and should auto setup when powered up first time with your 3 SIM card in it.
I used it a few days with stock rom, then flashed to another.
A few things to do.
Probably best to do a hard reset of phone, with SIM in, and let it reconfigure and start. (to hard reset, hold down the VOL UP and VOL DOWN buttons while turning on, and follow the instructions)
When all done, set locale, time, etc
Need to set the voicemail number (333)
Need to change connections to use PLANET 3, and not MOBILE INTERNET
Planet 3 homepage on the mobile should be HTTP://THREE.NET.AU (no WWW)
As it uses 850 when in country, it will roam on data on the Next G network (I beleive), and would be referred to by 3 (if they had it) as a MEGA MOBILE (tho you would want a BIG bank balance if ya gonna data roam on Telstra)
I am in Perth, and no probs with it with 3

sweet. thanks.
i actually now think the issue was that i was putting the sim card into the phone incorrectly.
i just got it and am trying to figure this phone out now.
do you recommend any roms for me to flash?

Just open the back case and softreset to get it back to normal.
On 3 with a Telstra HD2 also. Works perfectly normal, but I flashed out of the Telstra ROM - running Miri16 atm, works fantastic
One thing with three.net.au is that it doesn't recognise the HD2 in some places, hence I have wordsmith's Opera Personality Switcher to mimic an iPhone.

Hi Ali+htcHD2,
I believe that you have your 'network settings' configured to WCDMA only.
Go into your Comm Manager > Phone Settings > Menu > Netowrk Selection > Band > Select your Network type > Auto
Do this for both drop down menu's on that page, and then hit ok.
This should fix your problem!

How can I use a smart phone on AT&T just on wifi

So I just picked up a couple of WM phones HTC743 and an AT&T Tilt 2.
I've been using one of the early windows smartphones for a number of years just for the the contact manager because it uses activesynch nicely with Outlook. Too damn small for any network access though.
I'm not terribly interested in a big data plan for a lot of internet access. I might pickup my email and surf a bit while I'm traveling though. I had wanted to use the wifi for that.
Th HTC s743 gave AT&T a bit of a startle because the didn't know what it was.
It's functioning but even though I have Data Conn. turned off it still manages to automatically turn on once in a while. I see daily very low volume charges even though everything says I'm accessing via WIFI.
I just plugged the simm into the Tilt 2 and though I haven't called AT&T as yet about this phone it did allow calls in and out but I can't seem to get the internet connection working even though wifi shows as being connected. It takes a long time for it to connect compared with the S743.
So ... is there a way to use either of these phones via wifi only?
Just turning off the Data Conn. on the s743 doesn't seem to completely work. The pre loaded GPS app appears to automatically turn Data Conn. back on. I know it does this if wifi & Data Conn. are both turned off.
A neat little AT&T billing trick?
From what I have read on here I think I maybe screwed on the TILT 2.
It also appears that until I register the Tilt 2 with AT&T my WIFI internet surfing just isn't going to work or do I have something else wrong?

I just have Data off, and no Data plan, but I'm using a android phone. I'm using the HTC Aria.

I was able to fix the S743 by just deleting the "APN"? in the configuration menu. I can always reload it quickly from AT&T if need be. But that phone also let's me pick between AT&T or Tmobile so I think it's more flexible to begin with. It's WM6.1 whereas the AT&T Tilt 2 is WM6.5 and there's no such configuration page where you can download the network configuration from AT&T. I've looked but maybe I missed something?
I also can't get this phone to work on WIFI either yet.

If you can, just change a character in the apn. This will stop it connecting, and it will let you easily switch it back on by changing it back if need be
