Hey guys i recently put touch it 4.4 on my wing and its pretty cool so far, but since i installed it im no longer to acess my Tmobile data connection. which of course means no internet or IMs!
Can anyone help me out i searched around a bit but cant find exactly how to change the settings to get things working again.
so if anyone could-
1) tell me where and which settings i need to edit
and
2) what the the tmobile settings i put into there
thanks for anyone who can help me
also: data connection under my comm manager is greyed out
There is a network wizard cab floating around here. Install that on your phone and select your service provider. Other than that you can create a GPRS connection. Go to settings, connections, add new connection. Name it whatever, DATA works, and accesspoint name is wap.voicestream.com through Cellular GPRS.
Look around, there is alot on this..
awesome thanks for the reply
had it preinstalled with the touch it rom actually, so all is now good!
Hey, i've only had this phone for a little over a month, i've done a couple things to it that could be the problem. When i turn wifi on, it won't find any networks... even my own in home network when i'm 6 feet away from it. It used to work like a charm. But i dont know what did it...like i said, it could be one of 2 things, or both. Problem is i dont remember when it stopped working since i dont use it that often. I "upgraded" to wm6.1 and i also did a kaiser tweak.... not sure which one did it, all i know is now my wifi won't find any networks when it used to find them. Please help...
you uk? some roms dont pick up certain channels theres a cab for it some were try that
Is your proxy settings off? Try this
1) Start
2) Settings
3) Connections
4) Under Media Net --> Set Up My Proxy Server
5) "This network connects to the internet"
make sure that box is check
6)"This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
Make sure that is check off
Hope that helps
Has anyone been able to use SKYFIRE, whenever I have installed it (hard reset after another) it still won't connect.
Anyone have a solution?
I've had this problem, Skyfire started but kept displaying "check flight mode".
It was due to the proxy server used by my operator (SFR, France).
Under settings->connections->connections, uncheck "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" (write down your proxy server adress in case you have to use it again).
Worked for me but be careful, your operator may charge you extra money for using the Internet without any proxy...

Are you with ATT or T-mobile? If ATT, are you with the new att (MediaNet) or ATT Wireless (mMode)? If T-mobile and if not mistaken, a full data package is required, not just the t-zone (which seems to be limited net access)
If MediaNet, there shouldn't be any issues. If mMode, there is a lil tweaking to the connection settings that will need to take place.
I'm using mMode on 8525 (TyTn) and 8925/Tilt (TyTn II). Let me know if I can provide the settings to you.

Hey thanks for getting back to me on this, yes if ya haven't noticed, I have the ATT badge on my profile hehe...
But it turns out, because I'm still under my blackberry data service, it may prevent me from doing certain things since most of blackberry's internet goes through their server and then back to media net.
Hi
Just got an Orange 3G. One annoying feature is that if it drops a WiFi connection it goes automatically to using GPRS without any indication (which thens starts to cost !!!)
Orange say you can't stop this happening. Does anyone know any trick to stop this (there is no way to keep the GPRS off as there was on my old Touch)
Be grateful for any help
As I said to the person who asked the same question a few days ago *sigh*, google nodata

You need to check how your phone is connecting.
AFAIK the orange ROM uses the unique manager not the normal HTC connection manager.
This means you dont really have a WiFi connection. Orange unique is their VOIP(??) implementation.
If you have a livebox and orange as your ISP your phone will automatically switch to using your WiFi connection for phone calls saving you money, the downside is you cant use wifi for anything else.
The only way to sort it is buy flashing a different ROM.

Hi
Thanks for the info. Been trying to sort out with Orange and same answer - disable GPRS and the WiFi stops as well !!! (One of the Orange guys even admitted that it was because they don't make money on voice now, only data). The 'nodata' fix doesn't work as it also stops the WiFi. Any thoughts on which ROM I might flash?
Thanks for your help
I'm actually an Orange employee, working for Handset Faults, and looking to solve this for a customer.
There is a rom update available from HTC, which apparently fixes this, however the customer I'm trying to resolve this for, has tried updating and his serial number shows as no available ROM.
I don't think the No-data resolution will work, so hoping if theres any other solutions you guys could suggest?
I know on my current HS, which is a Hermes, I've the communication manager, which i believe isn't available on the Touch 3G, unless debranded.
Really, I'm just trying to get more advice, so would appreciate anyone's tried and tested work-around, as i've to call said customer back tomorrow, with hopefully a resolution, but if not, then he'll have to wait till a ROM update becomes available from HTC/Orange for branded handsets.
I found a solution to this problem last night that works for me on my Touch 3G with Orange.
Enter Unique Manager - Advanced Settings - Network Adapter - My Network Card Connects to - and ensure they're all set to connect to The Internet.
I have also setup a Block GPRS connection under Settings - Connections - Conections which stop GPRS connecting and can now connect via Wifi no problem.

Thanks for this - going to give it a try but when i go into Settings - Connections for the second part of your fix, where do I go next (I can't find Conections which stop GPRS connecting)
Thanks
Thanks Bob,
Will copy this and put it on my phone somehow!
Thank you very much for the advice!

Did you manage to make it work?

Unfortunately, the customer cancelled their upgrade and got another handset before trying this.
Shame really!
Thanks for the help though!

Still haven't been able to work out the second part of the fix - can you help?

I've no suggestions tbh, cause I don't own a Touch 3G, I personally run a Hermes.
I'm actually trying to follow this up, and check what Bob meant by blocking GPRS on it.
Also, would you chaps be so kind to advise me if GPS under the HTC Touch 3G uses GPRS to connect, or does it use Satelittes like a normal GPS?
Just another question my customer asked today.
Thank you,

The GPS will use the satelitte to get a signal (just like proper SatNavs), but if there's an A-GPS feature, it will use a tiny bit of GPRS to speed up the process.
It'll then use the GPRS (if enabled) to download maps for the local area if it there isn't a map already installed on the handset.
That's why it's always a good idea to disable GPRS when roaming, at £8/mb- it's a pricey thing to use.
However, you can normaly download maps using WiFi before you leave (if you know where you'll be going), which will save time and money on using the network for data.
I get asked that question alot too (I work for them too, in NT1- First Impressions)
It will use the GPRS for the GPS locator if you leave A-GPS selected. Fortunately you can disable A-GPS to stop this happening.
Interestingly, I can't find any real difference in the speed of 'finding' satalites between standard GPS and A-GPS.
Thanks for the advice guys.
So any ideas how to fully block GPRS traffic outgoing, unless wanted? So its WIFI only when my customer is at home?
No further movement on this one...
Anyone got any ideas, how to utilise the WIFI facility switching the Unique Phone part off, and blocking GPRS traffic?
Thank you,
NoData works on fone.......BUT
Hi I got my touch 3g couple days ago its on orange contract brilliant fone apart from cannot connect to wifi as you all know it still connects thru gprs so I downloaded Nodata installed on fone disabled gprs with it. So good so far switched on wifi thru unique manager then checked that data connection was still off and it was BRILLIANT I shouted.
My wifi was connected to my hub and data connection was off woo hoo
Started web browser and lo an behold Get the message "cannot connect with current connection settings"
As far as I am led to believe at the present time there is no way round this problem apart from installing a clean version of windows but if I am mistaken please tell me how to get around this problem.
Cheers Biggles
HTC touch Dual An a HTC touch 3G
I have the Touch 3g with Orange - but thanks to the guys on this forum I got rid of the Orange branding/mess by using a 'stock' rom and I am not now using Orange Unique. Then I did the following........but not sure if it works with the Orange Unique stuff.
As far I as I can see there is no explict way of turning GPRS off - if it is set up then it will connect to it when a program requests data. I have unlimited internet on my home network but I need to turn GPRS off when roaming abroad so I don't get charged silly amounts.
I found that the only way I can guarantee to stop the phone using GPRS is to change the name of the Access Point Name - then it cannot connect to the service. On my phone (a Touch 3g) it is under Settings, Connections, Connections, Manage Existing Connections - then edit the connection details. On mine it is Orange Internet - so edit this and get to the Access Point Name - which is orangeinternet in my case - i just take away a few letters at the end and save the settings.
At this point GPRS will not work because the Access Point Name is not correct and you will get a message from any program trying to access the internet if wifi is not enabled. To get it to work again just edit the Access Point Name back to what it was. In my case I do not have to switch the phone off/on - I can just change the Access Point Name at anytime and it works or dosn't as I require.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
With Orange Unique there isn't any "Manage Existing Connections" that I can find - just addding new modem or VPN? Am I in the right place?
Thanks
for the benefit of people who may be subscribed to this thread, I think I have found a fix for the orange rom using data connection instead of wifi, read on here:-

hi,
I`v bought my HTC Trophy this week over ebay from Austria (I live in Germany) and it arrived yesterday
Last night I startet to configure my new phone and did all over wlan cause of the speed, everything worked fine. But this morning at the trainstation I tried to surf over 3g and Edge but it couldn't load any page or make anny connection to the Internet. But the mysterious was it showed me in the left upper corner the connection as 3g. It didn`t worked for me since then but wlan is working fine.
I also tried to reset, reboot, change every option nothing helped...
Is anyone having any Ideas how to fix this error or how to handle it??
thx
is it possible that you have an branded device?
I got mine through vodafone, but i'm using Hi (kpn)
To make my internet connection work, i had to manually add an apn.
The 3g logo could be there to let you know there is an 3g network available.
you could also try htc connection setup (to be found in the marketplace) to setup your setting.
thx you man you`ve made my day!
You where absolutly right, I had to add the tmobile apn by hand and it worked right in the same moment.
For anyone who has the same problem:
go to Settings>mobile communications and click on edit APN and enter your APN data manualy you will have to search the internet for this data or call your provider.
Thank you, guys!
I don't like very much my new Trophy anyway (I have a HD2 ...) but without internet connection it was orrible!
Additionally if you go to marketplace - HTC Apps and then select Connection Setup you will have the opportunity to do this automatically.
