Hey everyone,
I last hard reset my phone a few months ago. For some reason, maybe 1 month ago or a little longer ago, my GPS function stopped working. I use Google Maps and Microsoft Live Search. Both of them have the same problem, they attempt to connect to satellites and then say GPS communication error (or something similar). When I use manual mode, it's 57,600bps and Com 7, same problem.
The GPS quick connection update thing will no longer update. I tried the Q-GPS thing yesterday and that updates just fine. When I check the system info, it shows the GPS and 2 dll files. But I can't activate the GPS.
I don't imagine this is related to installing an SD driver? I wasn't able to read my 2 gig micro-SD card (in a micro to mini adapter), after a while, so I searched for drivers, found one that worked, and then at some point when I tried the GPS, the GPS didn't work.
Any ideas? I could do a hard reset, but that's annoying as we all know, to reinstall everything, reconfigure the settings, etc.
Also, we just switched from T-Mobile to AT&T. I currently have the $10/mth plan, but it doesn't let me access my IMAP accounts. I imagine IM+ won't work either (I assume it only allows http connections?) . Is there another plan I could use or some hack, so I don't have to pay $30(!?)/month for unlimited data? I was paying $20 with T-Mobile for the Blackberry plan and that worked just fine with everything, even though T-Mobile themselves said it wouldn't work. Anything similar with AT&T?
Thanks in advance

Just to update anyone interested. I found that when my phone reboots, for a seconds it was showing About and Menu (or something like that) for the softkeys before it was fully booted. Anyway, it turned out it was for the VPN settings. Apparently AT&T had set that up by default when I installed the AT&T SIM card. Anyway, it listed a proxy server, and for the heck of it, I unchecked the proxy server. Then I ran FlexMail and guess what? It worked! For $10/month, I have full data access, I just had to turn off the proxy server.
Hopefully this helps someone..

My sister really needs a new phone and is with T-mob USA. I was telling her to get the HD2 when it comes out, and she really likes the phone but she doesn't want to pay for the added internet plan. When I had my Shadow (1st gen) I was able to use the t-mobile lower internet plan (t-zones?) and using proxy server info I was able to use the internet almost 100% normal. There were only a few apps that were odd.
What are the chances that since this is still a WinMo phone it will have that ability? Is this something that can be figured out before the phone comes out? Also, if it did work, would it access 3g data?
Thanks for any help/info.

When the HD2 launches it will have a required data pack just like all other windows, blackberry's and android devices currently do. If a discount is recieved on the device then the data pack (minimum $25/month) is required, paying full retail price is the only way not to have it. T-zones is no longer offered by itself for $5.99/month unless your plan is a grandfathered plan that supports it but would only be able to be used if the phone was purchased at retail.

i use tmobile in uk if the proxy box is ticked my mail dosent load.
T-Mobile USA now uses the device IMEI for data plans
The proxy trick does not work anymore on Tmobile USA, they now use the phone's IMEI number to verify that the phone is on the correct data package. It works for about 24 hours now then when you try and access the internet you are sent to a screen to add the correct data package.
Proxy internet for HD2 on T-Mobile
I have T-mobile with the $5.99 T-Zones. I used it on the DASH and am now using it on a Touch VIVA. If I buy the HD2 from T-Mobile with no contract are they still going to force me to get a data plan or will my T-Zones stop working. I want to keep my T-Zones and may have to get an ulocked phone.

I'm currently with AT&T and about to switch to T-mobile when the HD2 comes out. When I spoke to the T-mobile rep., (trying to get him to set me up on the cheap data plans instead) He told me T-mobile can tell what phone you are using and know if it is on the correct plan. He also stated that if the phone is unlocked then you can trick their systems into letting you keep your old plan. Now again, I dont know if this is true or not, I am about to switch...hopefully this month, I'll find out then.
With AT&T, I have an old data plan (unlimited internet, 1500 text, 200 MMS) and I pay $19.95/month. they have never made me change my data plan and I am using the Tilt2. If you go through the priemer business website to upgrade your phone, they dont give you the $50 discount and you get to keep your data plan unchanged....all other channels force the upgrade with an updated data plan. Again, the only way around that is to buy your phone from someone else, unlocked, or have warranty dept. swap out your phone for a different model. My nephew has the $10 data plan and is now using the Tilt2 on it via warranty swapping out his phone for a different model (the Tilt2).
I know on the AT&T service you do get the 3g speeds, so I assume it will be the same for T-Mobile (but then again assuming may not be the best way to go). Hope that helped
I am pretty certain that my sister has a grandfathered in 5.99 T-zones package too. I am hoping that she can get it and use this way. The email not loading problem that adamo mentioned though doesn't sound good. Do the other internet based things work ok?

from what I was told, everything should work correctly and at the correct speed, as long as the phone is unlocked. The cell phone service providers don't seem to really offer different speeds at different rate plans like the cable internet companies do.
I had not seen your message from earlier ... we posted at the exact same time. Thanks though for your input. I will let her know. It seems like it is worth a try. Worst case scenario, she has a great phone but she has to use Wifi to check her mail and such.

Is anyone in the same boat as me?

if someone could give a bit of help with this that would be incredible. I haven't been able to get it to work either.
thank you
if you plan on switching roms, the newer ones usually have the function built in to configure them according to what carrier you are on. I found that either Kumar's or NRG's roms work pretty well as I'm currently using Kumar's Lite WWE rom

Copy the cab file to your phone and then use file explorer to go to it and double click on it and run. I will agree with the post above, 99% of custom roms come with a connection setup that lets you choose ATT and it downloads the settings for you. Plus helps out the OS lol
I got the file installed but still no luck, any other ideas??
Media Net
I have installed the media net but it still doesn't work.
I did the same thing and the people at at&t told me that it want allow you to have data connetion through them. They were wrong. Call 1-866-449-8358, they will hook you up with the settings. You want have to download anything. Once you have a data connection it will show that you are connected to edge. But, it is 3g.
I got this figured out. go to settings/Wireless Control/Data Connection/Advance(tab on the bottom)/Selectnetworks/ and then change the both drop down bars to Media Net.
Don't forget to turn the Data Connection "on" in the wireless controls.
It worked just fine on my HD2
I used the cab file on the first page, installed and restarted. Mobile internet works fine, but I still can't receive MMS. The pics are the right size so I am lost as to where to go next. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanx.

Can you make sure these are the settings in your mms server info
Name AT&T MMS
Server Name....AT&T MMS
Ip Address....wireless.cingular.com
Port number...80
Server Address....http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect Via....Media Net
Message Size limit....600 (this is the max ATT will allow)
Wap Version....Wap 2.0
Thanks guys for all your help. Got it figured out. The problem was that I couldn't find where the heck to get to mms settings in the first place. Taken care of.

How can you be sure that HD2 will run on ATT 3g? alot of people are saying it probably won't have 3g, but you get an EDGE network... i really need to know this because i might switch to att from tmobile.
I am in between iPhone's (3GS-iPhone 4), but I have an HTC HD2 T-Mobile USA version as a secondary phone. I returned my 3GS (which I just recently upgraded to after losing my 3G iPhone) so I could be eligible for the upgrade price on the iPhone 4 and I only have the HD2 right now (love the phone by the way). Anyway....
Quick question: I tried applying MEdia Net/MMS Settings both manually and with the cab file, but I cannot seem to get data working on my HD2. My AT&T account is not on Media Net it is on the iPhone data plan, so could that be the reason why I cannot get data to work on my HD2?
I tried figuring out the problem on my own but I'm obviously not getting it done...thx for the help.
p.s. The HD2 is running on stock software. I have not applied any roms or hacks to it.
OS: 5.2.21892
ROM: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Sense: 2.5.20121412
The same...

Funny, I'm in the same situation! I sold my iPhone yesterday in prep for the iPhone 4 and got the HTC HD2 from T-Mobile to use for a couple of weeks (also got it unlocked by them the next day!).
After installing the .cab file, reboot your phone then go and change your data settings in the HD2. I'm on the iPhone data plan with AT&T as well and everything thing seems to be working fine.

The T-Mobile HD2 will not work on AT&T's 3G bands, period...only edge. You'll have to get the Australian (Telstra) model to be able to use AT&T 3G.
Choosing baseband
Interesting because in Phone Settings there is the option of choosing your baseband between AT&T's or T-Mobile's or to put it on Auto. I just chose Auto to be safe as I'm using an AT&T sim.
On hold with HTC Support so I'll shortly know definitely.
Thanks

It worked perfectly.. I will now keep the phone. If I couldn't get it to work I was going to sell the phone. But now I am glad I kept it.. Thanks again..
Can I use $9.99 internet plan (web2go) on my HD2?
Doubtful and if you are going to get a discount on the phone you need to get the $30 data plan.

No I don't think you can. You could even call t-mobile and ask them. Or are you trying to see if you could sign up with that data plan without them knowing its for your HD2? lol
it worked with my n900 but my hd2 could only get an edge connection with apn internet2.voicestream.com. epc.tmobile.com didn't work at all.
25$ here...but yeah the $10 will be a waste as it will be utterly slow and I doubt it will work properly.
The plans are all correlated to the OS, i.e. blackberry uses the BB internet plan, android the android plan, and WM the WM plan
yes you can use it.
you have to set the apn to wap.voicestream.com or epc.tmobile.com
I don't know about that, but there is a new $20 plan. It is for smartphones, but says "Preferred Smartphone Unlimited Web Only". I changed to this the other day and don't see any diffence from the $30 plan.
Of course you can use it; you're experience will be different however.
You will not be able to fully browse the web except when clicking on web2go links. You will not be able to watch mobiTV, use the barnes and nobles link or use any other data-related resources under this plan.
You can still use voice+SMS; it will continue to function as normal.
Yes it will work and it will allow you to use it on all the various programs like you would normally. I won't be 3G speed, i will be 2G speed.
just type the info via the apn and no u/n or p/w and you're there.
works on everything. mobitv runs a bit sluggish unless you are running over wifi anyway. Blockbuster and B&B download just fine
well, you guys are wrong, in fact I am still using my grandfathered tzone with 3g connection with my hd2, I had the touchpro before and also work.
using the $5.99 T-zone and works just fine, webbrowsing, utube, gmap,... you name it. For $6, I can't complain about the speed.
Yep...I concur with the last two posters, T-Zones ($5.99) plans works fine with the HD2. In fact, it worked right out of the box, no configuration at all was needed on my part. The $9.99 plan should work the same.

I am on the same plan and have no problems using anything. As matter of fact my tzones is 5.99.....The only issue I have is having a 3G connection consistently.....
Same here 5.99 t-zones working fine I usually get consistent 3g connections.
Besides, depending on where you are the $30 doesn't give you 3G either. I get a beautiful Edge (and a spotty one at that) connection at home (mind you I live in the middle of Miami, FL).

Could you tell me how did u go about signing up for the t-zone? I can't seem to find it on their website.Thanks
I just tired the other day and i was told it's no longer available. You have to get the Web2go ($9.99/month) plan.
OK so my 3g was working fine before i permanent root my G2 and flashed a custom rom.
When i was using the custom rom i could only connect to wifi for internet.
I just reverted everything back to stock and the problem remains.
the problem is the "H" sign will appear with flashing arrows but webpages,market,youtube doesn't load anything. I get the error of no data connectivity.
i tried switching to EDGE but the same thing happens.
i know the APN is correctly set. AND its not a service issue because i tested same sim card on different phones and it downloads normally.
i Have no idea how to fix this
please help me, thanks
changing your current radio could fix the problem
Ive tried 4 different radios and its the same. I think i know whats the problem but can anybody confirm it?
I came from an tmobile HD2 which was wm6.5 so my internet is "smartphone unlimited data"
whereas i believe i need a specific "android data plan".
Is there a workaround for this ?
Nope. I came from an HD2 to a G2 and had to get an Android data plan. The good news was that I called T-Mobile and complained about the extra $5 and acted all upset and what not and they gave me the Android data plan for $25 like my Smartphone data plan was.
Darn ok so i guess calling them would be the only solution to fix it.
Did they say you had to pay extra to get 4g speed or is it included with that 25dollar plan?
They say that they can't guarantee 4g speeds and they just don't know but I can tell you. You definitely get the 4g speeds. Look at my sig. That's on the data plan I'm using now.
