How do I make 3G work? (Globe Telecom Philippines) - Nexus One General

I subscribed to an unlimited for one day 3G service. I've been Googling for instructions and the only thing I found is this, which tells that I should use the APN "http.globe.com.ph". I still couldn't connect after setting the APN (I made an APN setting with a name and an APN. All other fields are blank).
I tried it on a Nokia E63. It worked. When I tried browsing, without tweaking any setting yet, it just asked me for an APN and all APN's are predefined. I selected one (Globe Connect) and it worked. I was able to browse on the E63.
Any idea what I should do?

any dream/magic users in india?

hi guys was wondering the above? i heard its quite difficult to get the EDGE/gprs working on this phone in india.
Thanks!
No. Getting EDGE to work is as simple as in any other country. Just find out APN settings of your provider and add them from settings.
thank u so much i will do so!
Im sorry for being daft but when u say sim unlocked,does it mean it will work on any network in the world? Or just diff networks in the country u bought it in? Im askin cause im in india and i hope it works here

I am using Magic with Airtel. EDGE is not a problem works fine, I am on weekly unlimited plan.

Edge/gprs settings
Can you write the apn settings of vodaphone as you have set on your phone here.
Thanks.
www
rest is default
Hi,
I have problem in accessing the secure sites using the normal vodafone GPRS connection wit the APN "portalnmms" None of the "https" sites will open nor can I use the active sync or other push emails.
I tried to create a new APN with "www" but once I selected it as the default APN, my GPRS stopped working. I have not changed any other settings. Please could anyone help.
Thanks,
Deepak
Gprs settings not recieving from airtel.
I am using Airtel as it Is..... can someone tell me what settings work on my stock HTC magic phone. I have Airtel live activated. And I was very able to browse and log in to my mails etc. (The customer care guy was surprised that I had been able to access mails on Airtel, however I dont y he felt so). But when I went on roaming I was not able to access my mails but only cue browse the net. Then I tried resetting my fone to factory settings losing the Airtel live settings. Then called up Airtel and asked to send the settings, BUT THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO SEND THE SETTINGS TO MY CELL AS I WAS IN ROAMING.
Then even when I came back to local, they were not able to send me the gprs/mobile office settings to my magic. Any idea guys ......?
not able to avail 100MB plan from airtel
After repeatedly making requests to airtel customer care, I am not able to get the free 100 MB plan, which comes with new Airtel magic, activated on my handset.
It seems that Airtel is not yet technically equipped to support android handsets.
I am using AirtelLive and paying 100Rs/month for usage
Even I am also facing the same problem. SSL sites not opening up. Not able to access gmail/gtalk/Android Market on my GPRS connection. Have a Vodafone connection.
Tried the "www" APN settings thing.
Didn't work.
Any breakthrough so far?
After going through a few forums, I guess its a problem with the APN. Many people suggest clearing the proxy and the port fields. I tried that. But then, my EDGE connection was lost and I couldn't connect to the net. Following are the current APN settings that I am using:
Name: Vodafone live
APN : portalnmms
Proxy: 10.10.1.100
Port : 9401
MCC : 404
MNC : 27
APN type: default
If anyone is using any other settings on Vodafone, Do inform.

Well I have magic (not bought from airtel, but imported from TW), I have taken 399 gprs plan and every thing works fine. I sync exchange mail, gmail, yahoo mail, browse including secure sites. No problems at all.
1) You need to get mobile office GPRS plan activated on your number
2) APN settings are simple -> Set APN to airtelgprs.com and leave all other settings as is and set APN type to default, if your mobile office is activated you can see all you data stuff working.
Update: I have this from June 09 even before HTC launched Magic with Airtel

APN issue
I flashed my HTC Magic to Amon Ra's 1.6 ROM. Everything works perfectly except gprs. The baffling thing is that when I put in some random settings for the APN, they get saved, of course it doesn't work, but when I add the correct settings, the new APN doesn't appear in the list at all and the gprs does not work. I am using a vodafone connection. Any ideas?

APN settings for Smart/Globe in the philippines?

I have searched around but can't seem to find this info, does anyone have it? and does everything work (except the 3g of course)?
Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but I thought it would be better than making a new one. Well then let's get to my story
I've recently moved here to the Philippines for school(actually I moved yesterday) and I brought my G1 with me which I got unlocked from T-Mobile. I have a Globe SIM card now but it seems like the 3G antennae won't work and the icon won't even show up. It's like as if my APN was disabled by APNdroid but it's not and I can turn it on and off with APNdroid but still no 3G/EDGE icon. I'm running cyanogen 4.2.15.1 and using that upgraded radio found on this forum if that helps any. Could someone help me connect to the internet here in the Philippines with a Globe SIM card on a G1? BTW I'm in Dumaguete.
>internet here in the Philippines with a Globe SIM card on a G1?

Hello,
I was just using it for the first time here.
Here is what I did:
Menu -> Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile networks -> Uncheck .. only 2G .. -> Access Point Names -> Menu -> New APN
Name: Globe inet
APN: http.globe.com.ph
User name: none
Password: none
Click Back button
Now, in order to disable this so any service on the phone will not connect without knowledge, I created a dummy APN with
Name: none
APN: none
Select the dummy when you are done with your internet usage.
As for Smart, I think you need:
APN: internet
Username: leave blank
Password: leave blank
or else try with none / none
You can also check a friends Nokia (and probably others) phone settings for APN settings and duplicate them.
Does philippines have a 3G network? I can't seem to get any...
Yes, there is 3G most places, and 3.5G in and around most cities.
Both Smart and Globe have good coverage, but Sun is mostly Manila / Luzon based regarding 3G and 3.5G.
Sun has awesome 3G / 3.5G unlimited internet. Both in speed and price.
If my DSL fails or I am not at home, I use Globe. Only if that is too slow, I try Smart.
It all depends on the carriers coverage in our area, of course.

yes, there is a 3G Network here in the Phils. (surprisingly so)
you just have to create an APN with the correct proxy settings, and voila! you now have 3G Network reception. just make sure that you've set up a dummy APN so the open 3G won't eat up credits while you're not using it.

My plan was to disable data under settings and use 2G only to save battery. Any additional benefit to using a fake apn?

I've wasted so much load on trying to get the internet to work on my HTC Desire S.

hi there, the settings above have posted the correct values already
and here are some guidelines:
Name: myglobe internet
(you can actually put any name here, as this is just an identifier for the APN setting for your phone, much like how you can rename your Local Area Network on windows)
Apn: http.globe.com.ph
(take note its a <dot> that succeeds http and not a <://> remember this is not a protocol but an access point name)
Authentification: pap or chap
(there is a "pap or chap" option, this does not mean choose any between "Pap" or "Chap", as the former means both)
All other fields blank except default for
Mcc: 515
Mnc: 02
APN type: internet (please select this explicitly, its labeled "internet")
I've even tried those but still no success. I don't know why.
Happen to be in the USA at the moment and have not gone to sleep yet.
Here is the info I had saved. I believe it matches the other post. you might see if you can set up internet using another carrier, just to verify that the problem is not elsewhere in your phone settings or a hardware problem.
APN Settings for Globe
Postpaid APN: internet.globe.com.ph

PS A good source for APN's in general is http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist
PPS If you are in a location with a large mall, you could go the globe, smart or sun location and ask. Once you have one internet setup the second apn is not a big deal. You do have settings/mobile network settings/data enabled and settings/mobile network settings/2g only unchecked correct?
If it doesn't work does that mean the phone is messed up? WiFi works on the phone and everything else is fine. Just I can't seem to get any connection with my supersurf50..
Thanks

My guess is that it is some setting in your phone.
Are you connecting to the internet but they are charging you incorrectly? Have you confirmed that you are signed up?
SUPERSURF STATUS and send to 8888

Have you played around with these settings:
settings/mobile network settings/data enabled
settings/mobile network settings/2g (you want this off when you want data access)
settings/mobile network settings/network mode (see what happens when you choose WCDMA only, this would at least show that you have a 3G signal, try a different location)
Good luck!
PS I do not have an HTC Dream, so I do not know if there are any phone specific settings that you can do.
PPS I hate to ask the question, have you verified that this phone operates on the 3G frequency (2100Mhz) used in the Philippines?

i had this issue last month
where it says i am registered to supersurf but even when i say supersurf stop
it still persists
turns out the supersurf promo is no longer active
and only power surf is now offered
i wonder why the supersurf is still not considered as an invalid keyword for 8888 service number
darn globe, they should be reprimanded again for this

No Internet (Android, Meizu M9, vodafone NL)

Hi all,
I'm running out of things to try to get my internet working. Hopefully you can tell me where to look for more info, because right now it could be anything (broken phone?)
Here's what I've got:
- Meizu M9 android phone with (newest) 15318 firmware
- vodafone NL sim card, used with internet with HTC Magic for almost 2 years
- I can call, receive SMS, etc, but there is no internet (2G nor 3G)
- I've set up an APN with the following: live.vodafone.com, vodafone, vodafone
- I've tried setting the proxy to 192.168.251.150:8799
- I've tried both PAP and CHAP
- In the info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) it says GSM connected, GPRS disconnected or connecting. When it says disconnected, the 'GSM Disconnects' thing says 'fail due to Unknown Data Error'. I ran into a piece of code which lists all the errors. This is the default error, when it doesn't know what else it is.
I can't tell if this is a firmware, APN or hardware problem. Has anyone got any ideas?
i think it's apn or firmware. because if it would be hardware problem, then calls and sms wouldn't work either, but i'm not sure. try a hard reset (make sure you backup your data first) or find another apn settings. my carrier also has problems with apn. oh wait. another question. can you receive or send mms?

[Q] Set Network xml network profile

Hello guys,
I have a LG E900 unlocked from Telefonica Spain and I live in Lima - Perú (southamerica), I have problems with MMS and 3G network, I can navigate on internet by EDGE but the speed is terrible.
On MFG application I can't find my mobile operator and I can't set up the network profile because my operator doesn't appear in the list
I have read that if I make a hard reset on the phone, in the first boot the Phone catch the network parameters (including MMS and 3G) from the carrier (from my SIM carrier), it's true?
Or are there any way to modify manually the xml network configuration file in order to set the correct parameters in all the fields?
I will really appreciate your help.
Thank you
All you need to do is set ADC on, and soft reset, then you are good to go. You need to go to Engineer Menu>Other Settings>Set ADC. Alternatively, you can download the network app from the LG store in the Marketplace, and it will set ADC to ON upon first time running the app...
Hope it helps.
Hi kapanak, I just tried your advice few minutes ago but the problem continue happend, I've tried with soft a hard reset and in both cases set ADC to ON doesn't work. My carrier have to send me the data in a special format or stuff like that?
Is it possible to change the parameters of xml network profile file by myself?
Just in case: what do you mean with "soft reset"? turn off and then turn on the phone?
How can I change proxy settings on this phone? In this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843517 in the #3 it is mentioned some way to set the proxy and port settings on a samsung focus, I thinks these settings are missing on my LG Optimus 7 and that is why I can't access to 3G Network. some ideas?
Thank you for your answer
After you set ADC on, try to change sim (from another operator), restart, let it connect, and after that, insert back your sim. After restart go to settings, celular, data conection on and it should work.
Be sure if you have 3G network in your area...
Yes, I forgot to mention you need to swap SIM cards in order for the above to work. And make sure you take out the battery or you WILL short circuit the SIM, and your phone.
Thank you kapanak for your answer but It didn't work, I couldn't connect to 3G network and I still seeing the same network parameters (proxy and port) on my network xml file (throught MFG). Are there any way to modify these parameters directly on xml network file?
I guess that my carrier (Claro - Perú) is not able to send the autoconfig information in WP7 format.
Thank you
Have you tried to manually put the Claro APN? I used to do that here in Brazil and at least the 3G worked.
Try to do this:
Settings > Cellular > add apn, and then:
APN: claro.pe or wap.claro.pe (I found both on Bing)
User name: claro
Password: claro
And I think that's it.
PS.: My E900 only start to get automatic setup through ADC after I flashed my Orange-FR phone with an Open-EU ROM found here on XDA, before this, I used to manually set the APN and worked well, only the MMS was missing.

Issue deleting T-Mobile APN and adding a new one

I have an old On5 that I rooted several years ago. I just got I an S10 and transferred my On5's plan and number over to it. Wanting to use the On5 as a backup phone, I bought a cheap, supposedly T-Mobile compatible $5 SpeedTalk pay-as-you-go sim card for the On5 and managed to get it activated online. The phone recognizes the activation, but SpeedTalk requires using it's own APN.
My problem is the 'T-Mobile US LTE' APN is fixed. In 'Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > T-Mobile US LTE > More' the settings are all grayed out and 'Discard' option does not respond to deleting the APN. I can add a new SpeedTalk APN, but I can't set it as default. Searching the forums on this only came up with an old related issue, but nothing specifically on a locked T-Mobile APN like this.
Would anyone know if this can be hacked or reset to new APN?
If it helps anyone, I found a post in the forums here that solved the problem by going to mobile networks/network operators/default setup and choosing manual before attempting to add a different apn. Also had to disable 'Select Automatically'
