Hi,
Not been on the forums for a while so here goes - seems like this question should already have been asked but I couldn't find anything so apologies if it has and I missed it.
I use my WIzard in the UK but I'm going to the USA later this month. Do I have to manually switch the band on the wizard? I'm pretty sure i don't (and cannot find any option to do so in the settings) but I just wanted to make sure.
thanks for any help
Lewis
no, you don't do anything. you just put the manual network search, it's better this way, while you are in roaming
There is a serious problem with the T-mobile mda compact 2 and that is that it says in the settings that network cards can be used to get WI-FI as it desnt have it already but ther have been numbers of peple asking "why doesnt it work" People are continually asking why T-mobile has stpped it from working and why can anybody help!
Please there are numbers of people with this problem who would be very gratefull to know.
What the HEck...This is no way of posting your problem..

First off, commas and periods are your friend. The search feature here and google can be better friends. I will take a stab and answer your run on sentence. Cell phone carriers often remove features from phones when theyy receive them. But because those features have been removed, doesnt mean it doesnt work, (in most cases). Maybe flashing a cooked rom, doing a registry tweak, or installing a cab or two may help you.
Again, use the search feature, do a little more research, have lots of patient, rephrase and post your question(s) in the appropriate forum. Doing this will significantly decrease the chances of you getting flamed, and improve your chances of getting the help you want. Good luck.
well, give it a try and hack it on your own ?! huuu ? how about that !
normally when nobody posts a reply it means that nobody knows the answer - or it was discussed so often and you did not try the search function.
so, be a part of the community and try finding it out on your own and share it with all of us .
Not important to me!
LOL!!
HOW ROOD!!!!
Man how you word things means everything. How do you think that your going to get some help when you post stupid titles like this come on. We are all here to try to help each other out. What just because you say your mad means that someone is going to help you NOT!!! Man next time try asking you will get alot farther. You have to be a young kid or something with no home training. Lol
Sorry to seem "rood" but I have been researching and all i see is loads of people ,like me, who ask the question in a normal manner and get no response.
Loads of dead Threads thats what i find when i research and give it patience.
I posted this Thread as a last attempt of many from many people.
Sorry for being "rood" but I was very annoyed
also "TheChampJT" wtf!
You said "Not important to me!" and your signature says willing to help
Why would I help you when you cant be bothered.
I could easily have helped with your Samsung SCH-i760 ROM problems but Im not going to now ,your problem!

Ok, trying to understand your issue:
You want to use your network card as an Wifi access point?
- Your network card is only able to get GPRS or EDGE connection and that is dependent of your network provider (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc). If this is what you want, probably your network settings are wrong. You can try and use Network Wizard, which allows you to autoconfigure your device to connect to your network provider facilities.
- Wifi is acquired by a different piece of hardware, and you can't get Wifi where there isn't any access point that allows you to connect to.
Now about the way you presented your problem on the forum: sure, we all get frustrated not to have our questions answered. That can mean the following:
1 - No one understood exactly what is your problem.
2 - Your problem is something new and no one has it.
3 - You could try and use the search engine named Google in an effective way in order to find exactly what you are looking for. I've seen dozens of students searching using the wrong keywords or even trying to search using sentences. Keep it short and keyword based. Combine them with "word word word" or word+word+word.
I guess you got what you wanted: attention. Now all you need is the answer.
IMPORTANT!
y'know, some of you guys on here are absolute stars at being able to remain patient and helpful.
i salute you for this trait. much respect.
peace.
Read here for info about Charmer - MDA Compact II - no wifi hardware included in this device
And if you read Charmer wiki you will find out following
Missing features
WiFi
WiFi can be done via a WiFi-SDIO card (refer later section for instructions)

and
Wireless / WiFi
Not all WiFi-SDIO cards are compatible with Charmer. Few SanDisk WiFi-SDIO cards have been confirmed to work with Charmer with extra drivers. Refere to the thread for drivers and instructions (related thread)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Network Cards ia part of WM networking framework which is responsible for all the conections like WIFI (it is unavailable for Charmer), GPRS(EDGE and other cellular data connections), Modem connections, Serial Connections and few more - it is the same for all devices because the OS is the same. The OS may support wifi but this option is dependable from hardware and drivers, so if you do not have WIFI hardware and proper driver for it this functionality will remain disabled by the OS
I hope i answered your question

Ummm.......ok! No worries here then, but hey don't go crazy on me, just letting you know. Enjoy your day !
whaaaa?
I have no idea what you're even trying to say?
Well, now that you had some attention and some answers, could you please edit the tread title to something more descriptive like "T-Mobile MDA Compact 2 - enabling WiFi" so that other users searching the forum can actually find it? Not to mention that it does seem a bit rude way to request help and doesn't look too good in the forums...
not the best of ways to ask for help
Sorry
Sorry about my thread, i will get rid of it as soon as i feel most people affected have got this message.
I have the Touch Cruise and I have some questions and need some help:
First, How can I get Tom Tom? I understand that it should have been installed but it isn't. I am looking for it to use.
Second, I am looking at upgrading to WM 6.1, I think. I am not sure how to back up my information before I do it. I am looking for some guidance to help me through this.
Lastly, I am going to have to send back the phone for repairs because of the memory card popping out and not staying in. With that, I would love to try to do this stuff before I send it back, just to be able to try it out and this way, if anything happens with it, they can help me to get it back on track.
I appreciate any help and thank you in advance.

anyone hir? im a new user of htc phones. can anyone teach me how to activate my gprs settings. or should i ask how to connect to internet? my sim card is globe. my phone is htc magic.
I'm lost
Sorry. I can't help you. I am still completely lost after spending 10+ hours following every suggestion I can find without success. And I see that I cannot post a new thread until I have posted at least 5 times. So given that I cannot find any post that successfully answers my question, this will be one of those posts.
Thank you,
Laurie
Quick Question , I'm sorry I've searched the General and Q&A section and I didn't find an answer. If locked bootloader is a concern, where can I buy a Note4 to use on AT&T network ? Anyone have experience getting one from T Mobile and use it on AT&T ? Any feed back. Thanks !
