Hey guys,
Needing help here. Sister has one of these on TIM (she lives in Italy). When she was over in UK I was tinkering about and using mobile internet (non-wifi). The problem is though that when she has pt her own sim back in it has stayed on and now she has ran up a €400 phone bill due to her being constantly online. As I don't have the phone in front and my own phone runs windows mobile I haven't got a clue how to get her to permanently disconnect it.
Can anyone tell me how so I can phone her with the instructions?
Many thanks in advance

You can use an app such as APNDroid to enable/disable the APN she has configured. Or, she can use Wisync (or Wisync plus) to do the same.
Or she can go to Settings/WirelessControls/MobileNetworks and append "xxx" to the name of the APN that is active.
Thanks...Will call her just now

Hi I purchased my Imate K-Jam G4 in the UK sim free and brought it to the Cayman Islands. I do not appear to have any GPRS or edge ability. My service opertaor supports both they tried to send me the settings but came back with handset not supported.
I am running the latest imate ROM and have hard reset a couple of times to now avail. When i click on the internet all i get is cannot connect with current settings. i have tried both types of authentication.
Can anyone help me?
Is it anything to do with the CID lock which reports 001?
Thanks any help will be appreciated
Update:
Ok i have now managed to get it to connect by creating a new connection.However although it shows connected i get no data. can't even open google. any ideas?
Ok now got it working. my sim was not enabled for gprs put it in my wifes phone which had a text with the service provider settings saved them and then put the sim back in my phone. all now works. However seems to cost a small fortune so looks like i am going to disable it again. :-(
Anyone using this successfully ? I'm looking to buy this phone, want to make sure someone is happy with the phone on the T-mobile network first.
a lot of members are using tmobile w/ unlocked 8525...works great for me in CA, NV, TX, etc....
works great for me, running WM6. only issue is i can't use mms for some reason. doesn't send or receive. also IE crashes when trying to log into sites like gmail.com
update: I finally got MMS to finally work.
I'm using mine on T-Mobile in Colorado, works great! Just go to the t-mobile site and find the wireless configurator, choose the HTC Wing as your phone and use those settings.
i'm using it t-mobile Oklahoma
Great phone
I have an 8525 sim and CID unlocked and use it everywhere in the world! In the USA, I'm on T-Mobile, but currently I've been on China Mobile for 4 months and the phone works great! Many people here have HTC phones, I used to think of WM6 as for techies, but lots of people have it!

I've never had a crash on any website using PIE, and I'm on the internet often. Could be your rom's security, cache, memory, etc. settings.

Im using a 8525 with t-mobile in Florida. So far, I had been working some days, some others no, regarding the internet access. At this moment, is not working... and im here, in xda... looking for ways to do it... i ran almost every cab to configure, remove settings and run again new versions and nothing... i keep searching for the solution...
this forum is very helpful. i think i will have it working.
t-mobile support is very unresponsive, i got tired of call them and have the same stupid answer that the problem must be my phone because is not a t-mobile phone... instead to send me to somebody that really knows the values to put in it

Known internet issue in Florida right now - Don't waste your time configuring, you are being blocked on the Network via T-Mobiles firewall as you are using a 3G enabled phone (even with 3g "disabled) -- once t-mo finishes testing (should be soon), your phone will work again. Read the thread below, 13 pages on the Florida issue.

Hi there,
I am confronted with a big issue which affects my ability to place or even receive calls: I cannot connect my HTC HD on the Orange Network anymore.
Two weeks ago I was on the road using TomTom and suddenly Windows Mobile told me that the distant server was disconnected and that I was not connect to the network anymore. Each time I am trying to get a connection, I can see that the mobile detects a network, tries to register (I even can see the Edge icon and some network bars) but always fall back to the 'not connected' icon.
The weird thing is that the mobile detects all the networks it is intended to: Orange, Bouygues and SFR (the three main operators).
Since that day, I have tried everything to re connect the mobile on Orange network but nothing was successfull:
- many and many reboots of the mobile,
- I have suppressed the Orange network connection in the connection wizard and then re created it.
- I have switched the network connection to manual and tried to connect manually: as for auto mode, it displays the following message:
"cannot connect to the selected network. Choose another network or stop you data connection and try again"
- I have switched the band mode from auto to "GSM (900+1800)"
- I have done hard resets
- I have changed the ROM two times: the first one for an up to date Mia and the second time for a Rhodyum 1.1 (the one I am using now).
- I have called the hotline to check if the problem is coming from their devices ; apparently not the case
- I have put my SIM card on another mobile and its working. A different SIM on my HD is not working. I even have changed my SIM card !
I am really desperate now because I do not know where the problem could come from. Should I do something else ? How can I be sure that it comes from my mobile ?
Thank you for your help
Yesterday evening, I have tried to restore stock SPL1.14; It did not work either
Nobody can help me or just give me clues to solve the issue ?
What is your SN? Is a 84x? See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476139 could be an RMA candidate, read the thred
OK, here's the short answer:
your phone's a nicked device and it's on the IMEI blacklist.
the other possibility is that the contract didn't get paid off so the provider blocked it because of that.
I'm generally always right on this - go get a CheckMEND report from here: http://www.checkmend.com/uk/public/check_start
Your IMEI goes in the Identifier box.
I appear to be having the same problem, I checked via that site and it didnt flag anything up, it was all clean. The problem started yesterday afternoon.
I've tried an O2 sim card in there which works, and someones elses Orange sim card in there, which doesnt

the problem is if this "legitimate" ebay seller, sold it to you before the contract was paid to orange, legally the phone belongs to orange, therefore you've bought stolen goods. Hope you used Paypal, they might offer some protection.

what about if i was using phone for half year and everything was ok and not its happen?
Hi guys,
got my N1 this morning and been playing with it all day. Then i figured to test the mobile internet vs wifi. Thing is i cannot get anything to work over mobile internet? its just not loading/connecting as i recieved connection errors. Im on orange and got unlimited data usage plan. I've tried restarting the phone, restarted the service provider search and selected orange again but still no luck.
Any ideas how to get this working please?
You will probably need the settings from your provider and add a new apn check with orange for settings
go to menu settings
wireless controlls
mobile networks
access point names
menu select new apn
Name: Orange UK
APN: orangeinternet
rest of fields other then mnc and so forth at the bottom can be left the way they are blank. Should work if you have internet thru your provider
Thanks!! called up Orange directly and the lady was suprised i had a Nexus one. The phone call turned into a kind of review then she told me that she's prob the first person at orange to deal with a N1 user and she needed to check. After 2 mins she came back to say the system doesnt recognise my device.... and she cannot therefore send me any settings.
I've tried though m9 what you've given me and looked up further and managed to get it working like a charm. 3G's pumping away atm!! thanks mate you helped loads! appreciate it

I called Orange last week with exactly the same problem lol... they didnt have nexus one on the system, but the settings are exactly the same for HTC Hero so they just gave me those settings over the phone and worked.
If you go to the Orange website and look in the FAQ/Help section, you will find an entry about how to set up WAP and MMS - If you select the HTC Hero, the menu structure and entries are the same and worked for me on my Nexus One.
Hi all, maybe someone has an answer here. Tried other threads, but some are slightly different then mine. I've bought this phone second-handed. Had it unlocked but it wong register on 3mobile network. The phone was a T-mobile, and its sim-card works fine. The 3mobile sim-card work fine in my xperia x10. Thinking about being branded, i debranded the phone, but still no luck. Still giving me the exclamation marc by the antenna with an "X" beside it.
So what i want (need) if no one has an answer for this is: Can i go back to the T-Mobile brand again? Again, i read some threads, but they are a bit confusing for a newby as me! Sorry!!
If i can do so, how it has to be done, so i can send to T-mobile or HTC itself so they can have a look..
Thank you very much for your help!

Same problem... have you figured it out?
thanks

any updates on this? same problem here.
tried hard reset, soft reset, reinstalled new ROM, flashed back to TMOUS stock rom... no go.
if i do a manual search for networks, HD2 finds them, but can't register.
phone connection is ON.
band set to Auto.
There is a thread similar to this on this forum about a month ago. They found out that that the phone was registered as stolen and the ieme was blocked. There is nothing that you can do about it.
has anyone found a solution to this problem yet?
My gf just started having this problem today. She's had the phone for almost 3-4 months now, so I don't understand if someone mixed up IMEI's or what?
The phone won't register onto T-mobile... this sux! and its not even stolen...
