I was wondering if anyone knew if the Hero will work on Virgin Mobile? I've looked round everywhere and I can't find any answer! Can anyone help here?
the hero should work fine on any network, maybe you will have to set up your internet/mms settings manually but thats about it
Noo
So this isn't possible because its CDMA phones set up for use on their network specifically, basically you have to buy a 'V' branded phone from them or amazon.com to use the network.

Anyone know if the Wizard is compatible with Fido's Name Display feature?
I have it as part of a value pack but everything is just the same as before. I only see the number and no names. Just want to confirm before I call in to complain
im having the same problem with my hermes.
Got the service from Rogers but only the name is showing...
fido
I'm on fido as well.. I think it's specific to the phones that they carry.. meaning that it's probably a specific software..

My HTC Touch XL does not also use Fido but Rogers as the network. And I am in a plan in Fido. Weird. But the name display is alright. Do you know if Fido charges roaming in this scenario? I should have not changed the rom...
Have found solution on the fact that your HTC Touch is "connecting" to Rogers. Actually you are already connected to Fido. Found that out in my own HTC Touch. Fido's MCC/MNC is 302720. You can correct this using a Registry Editor.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>RIL>OperatorNames
make a "new string"
Value Name: 302720
Value Data: "Fido" or any name you want (don't put any space)
Hope this works.

hi i have a softbank X01HT running on WM5. and today i was going to go get the Rogers 3G plan so i planned to tried it out to see if it worked in the store first before getting the plan. so when i inserted the store's HSPDA sim card into my phone and have the carrier's samsung 3G phone call me using the video to see if it works or not. but it couldnt connect the call for some reason. so the sales told me that my setting might not be correct on my phone. so i want to know if anyone has tried using rogers 3G on the softbank before and what settings do u need to do on it.
my internet setting and stuff works cuz i can check my email and go on the internet using GPRS. and all my network settings are on auto. so i dont see why it didnt work in the store. if anyone has any ideas please help me. cuz im trying to get this thing set up before the 3G pricing goes up. thanks alot for the help.
so i guess no one knows then
Hi,
I recently bought a HTC Surround (AT&T), im from Costa Rica and we don't have AT&T as a carrier.
The phone works great with the GSM band but when i try to look for any 3G settings (using 850Mhz band) i cant find any options.
According to an article in the internet (i cant post any links yet) there should be an option called "Mobile Network" where i can turn the 3G on or off, so im guessing AT&T disabled the option (phone doesn't have any 3G sign on the sign bar at the top just the antenna bars).
Is there any way to Unlock the 3G options on this phone?
Thank you.
Help me out a little with your request. The place to turn on/off data is under cellular in the settings page. However, I haven't found "Mobile Network" on mine. However, I did download HTC Connection Setup which allowed the phone to search for various carriers and automatically set up the connections. That program is in Marketplace under HTC apps.
BTW, is your phone SIM unlocked?
Thank you for answering ...Sure ill help you with what ever you need... we might be able to narrow down my problem... lets see
1. HTC connection: yea i tried the app actually i have it installed on my phone but its giving me a message saying "Carrier doesnt exist in the data base" that i need to go a create apn (isnt that for phone internet). so i cant use the application, our carrier here is called I.C.E.
2.The band Costa Rica is using for 3G is the 850MHz. my SIM card is linked to a GSM account (1900 MHz) but the phone should be able to recognize the band tho, isnt that right?
3.how do i know if my phone is sim lock? i just placed my GSM SIM card inside and its working, do i need to try with a different card?
4. how does 3G works in this phone? is it configurable?
I'm pretty sure you are going to have to configure an APN for it to use 3G. As for band switching, I don't think it's possible with the current interface (at least on AT&T). Perhaps there are some registry entries that we will soon be able to access when some of the WP7 developers make headway, but right now, there is nothing of which I'm aware. If you can call on your network, the phone is already SIM unlocked, so no need to worry there.
I found some nice info about switching 3G or 2G etc... which it helps but i think it didnt work on mine.
Does anyone know how to set the HD7 (or surround) to 3G only?
Dialer> ##3282# Call > Settings > 3G only.
But in my case what i saw after that was that all the antenna bars were gone and then it went into no service then picked up signal again. After checking the settings after dialing again it was set to automatic again and if a switch it to 3G only it does the same thing again.
So im guessing it didnt work, ill try to talk to my carrier and see if we can create an APN to handle the 3G.
Is there a chance that the 3G feature is locked by AT&T?
Thanks for all your help if by any chance you find out something else i will appreciate the help.
Well apparently i got it fixed my phone seems to be working on 3G right now, i have the 3G sign on the top bar.
To make the story short.
I just configured my internet, added the roaming options and then tried again ##3282# only 3G and it worked now its showing 3G next to the antenna bars.
Thank you jwzg for your help.

Hi. If your SIM card is old (GSM) add APN: icecelular. If your SIM card is new (Kolbi), add APN: kolbi3g

No, you don't have to do any special configuration. I think TMobile bands for 3G are different frequencies from ATT, so sadly, I think you are never going to be able to have 3G connection on your Surround while you are on TMobile. Regards.
mmmmm tmobile used different bands
mmmmm input to sim movistar in htc, rigth in connection setup appers to configuracion of Nicaragua chance to Costa Rica and input sim ice connection don´t exist in data base... :-( mms is not working!!!
I was wondering, if I was to order a SIM unlocked Samsung Focus from america (there are a few on ebay) would I have any problems using it in the UK?
As far as I can tell it has the same GSM bands as UK phones, but I am wondering why it wasnt launched in the UK?
I think you will have trouble configure MMS for use with your own network of choice (known issue and seems no solution so far). Also, it may or may not support the 3G frequency depending on which band your carrier uses (Focus only supports 2100Mhz band outside of US).
In UK, you should just order the Ominia 7. Same phone (and looks better than Focus, IMO) sans the SD card slot. But with the amount of trouble of getting any SD card to work reliably with Focus, you might jsut forget about it ever had a SD slot in the first place.
I ordered mine to Norway from ebay. Everything but MMS works perfect, and the MMS issue can be fixed with an app from the Samsung Zone in the Marketplace which allows you to change the settings that at&t have hidden away.
I got the Samsung Focus recently and I'm using it on Vodafone UK. I notice that sometimes despite the phone saying full 3G there's no connection and I have to reboot the phone to get a data connection. Anyone else had this?
I have an unlocked Focus too... for those that have successfully got the 3G to connect - what tarriffs are you on, and how did you get it setup??
Cheers
Samsung Focus in the UK
I have a Samsung Focus from Ebay. I have unlocked the phone from fastgsm which was instant and simple to do.
I have the internet and 3g working fine so far by simply adding the Vodafone APN settings in the menu. I haven;t tried mms messages but don;t really use them anyway but think they should work if you use the samsung app for configuring the phone fromt he store.
Just a quick comment. I can;t get the radio to pickup much. I have changed the region to International but I am still getting a terrible signal although I do get some stations they are quickly lost if you move at all. Any help?
^^ I have the same problem with the radio. Unlocked via FastGSM.
howdy. I've got an unlocked focus on vodafone pay as you go SIM; they can't seem to give me any APN etc settings that allows the internet to work. Do you mind me asking what you've entered into yours??

I just got my Omnia 7 in the mail today and called AT&T to get it activated. When they tried to look up the Omnia 7 in their system nothing came up. The system said it was an unknown manufacturer and it had know idea what it was. Has anyone encountered this or did the person I talked to not know what they were doing? They got the edge network to work but because it is not recognized as a smartphone they couldn't give me a 3G data plan. I thought I read on other threads on here that they have gotten the Omnia 7 to work on AT&T with 3G in the US. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

just don't let them recognize it as a smartphone
get off the phone and log on to the online system
add the data plan for non-smartphone
then use it!
its unlimited and its cheaper

That is what I tried to do but for some reason the data won't work on my phone. I double checked my account online and the data is turned on but so far no luck on my phone. I can make calls and text just fine but the data doesn't want to work (EDGE nor 3G). The tech support person said that some cell towers were down but should be fixed by now. Any advice?
Did you use Samsung's netorking tool to select the right network (AT&T)?
There are also some manual APN settings.
Do you have an unbranded phone?

Since the omnia 7 only support one of the two 3g band that at&t use (1900), maybe your area use 850 instead of 1900. Where are you located?

I downloaded the network tool and it was set to telecom.de so I switched it to AT&T and that got my data working (just EDGE network). Where would I find what APN settings at? I found some APN settings:
apn: wap.cingular
username: [email protected]
password: CINGULAR1
were these the ones I was supposed to use? As for having an unbranded phone there are no stickers or logos on the back but on boot up it has the T-Mobile logo which would explain the telecom.de correct? Thanks for all your help.

I am in Kansas City, MO which is a fairly large market. I looked at some maps from 2004 of the different frequency bands and Kansas City had both 850 and 1900. I appreciate your help.
I've got (or better said had) a Omnia 7 from Deutsche Telekom too (they are cheap ). I live in Europe though, so I dont know much about AT&T and their 3G bands. The T-Mobile branding is actually nothing more than the boot logo, some default apps, the search page and default settings for things like MMS and networking.
You can get data working by using the networking tool, but I could not get MMS to work without flashing a retail rom with the right retail CSC for my country. Or well, you can get it to work when you hack on ADC in the registry...
