Where do you add new APN settings? I went to all settings/connections/connections but don't see any place to insert all the APN settings..?
Original post:
HD2 noobie here. Have it unlocked on AT&T. Phone/SMS all work fine. I don't get any internet(mail, facebook, marketplace, etc.) unless I'm on wifi. I realize being on AT&T I can only get edge(which is fine). I've been on a tmobile phone(G1 on edge prior to getting this phone) since last year with no problems. I figured it was my sim card. I took my old G1 and put my sim in there, works no problems. Also put a different sim card under my account(my dads) in my HD2, same problem. I've narroed it down to the HD2 itself but I have no clue what could be keeping it from getting on edge/internet.
I get a 'Cannot COnnect'' error that says:
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufactuerer's documentation and try again.

Then after hitting 'Dismiss' I see:

Make sure your Internet connection is active and check wether other applications that rely on the same connection are working

Any idea? Maybe someone with AT&T has seen this problem before.

Your APN settings are wrong; if you have a TMOUS or Telstra HD2 it won't have AT&T settings on it, you need to create new connection profiles with AT&T settings.
I'm assuming it uses the same APN settings as my G1 on AT&T did? But where the heck do I enter new APN settings at on this phone?
I've looked everywhere for APN settings. Can anyone help please?
settings - all settings - connections - connections
I have tried that and saw NOTHING about APN settings.
updated title. still can't figure this out. surely there are AT&T users on here that had to do this

settings tab - menu - all settings - connections - connections - add a new modem connection - name - cellular line(gprs) then fill in the rest with the at&t access point name and such like.
Then, when you have the modem created, go back to the connections - connections screen, jump to advanced tab, click select networks - and set the top option to your at&t data you just set up.

Please help me set up the APN for t-zones and mms. I have a T-Mobile unlocked HD2 that I flashed to android. I went to settings-wireless & networks-mobile networks-access point names. When I hit Access Point Names, there are no options in it, just a black screen with APN on top so I cannot add anything. How do I set up my T-mobile MMS and t-zones settings? I looked everywhere and could not find a solution. Please help!!!!

Am sure a few lazy so and so's like...erm me (sometimes) will find this useful. Maybe put some other settings up on this post for other operators. Perhaps worth a look around via search first as its likely to be something that someones already done. But can't be sure.

Why not just use a .cab to do it automatically?

Also, I recently found out I could add MediaNet under My ISP. So now if I have Wifi on, it'll use Wifi. Otherwise it'll use MediaNet.
I had MediaNet seperate so I kept having to change it. Much better this way.

This is something that I've been trying to figure out for a while. How do you add MediaNet under My ISP. I would love to be able to be on the WIFI while at work and then change to ISP when I leave.

I am also very curious about this.

With My ISP selected, click "Edit." Then click "New..." at bottom and enter in the MEdiaNet stuff.
Thanks alot for the info. I was having trouble accessing Cingular Video after flashing to Duttys rom.
i was very confused about this and erased all of the connections
why is there Media Net and AT&T ISP GPRS?
I know this is supposed to be for *dummies*
so i guess i am one
But what's the reasoning behind needing two of them?

One is Media Net Access(and the whole internet) and the other one is for tethering.

Thanks, this helped a lot. Now to figure out how to tell my cooked 6.1 ROM that I am on AT&T and not roaming. Seems to be a bug on every 6.1 ROM I have flashed.
WORKS GREAT Thank You!!!

I am not sure if there is anything new but this didn't work for me. I tried this on my Tilt 2 flashed with Sergio76's The Cell ROM v9.5 AT&T (just has the AT&T dialer and nothing else AT&T). I had used a cab that fixed all of the settings to what's in the post except the AT&T ISP which I took care of no problem. However, when I go to Media Mall and search for an app, I'm told there are no results for my handset. I looked at the device ident in the settings and the IMEI is there but the s/n is wiped and I can't edit it. Maybe with a regedit...I dunno. I haven't had the time to try that. It was an idea. There's something that was wiped off the phone that identified my device to AT&T...maybe some sort of hidden proxy or certificate or simply the s/n. I haven't found any Tilt 2 users so far that are able to or even use the Media Mall so I dunno. If anyone else knows something or has figured this out please clue me in. I wouldn't mind being able to get back to the media mall.
Thanks for any help...
Hi all,
Got my HD2 yesterday and have been busy doing the various tweaks, regedits etc and so far so good.
However ive run into my first real problem. I cannot bluetooth data to my wifes phone and i also cannot send sms with audio or video attachments.
I get a dialling connection popping up advising that its trying to dial from "mobile" and i have an option to "dismiss" but the message keeps popping up until i finally get a message saying that the original sms failed to send.
I can send normal sms and emails fine. Just sms with file attachments fail me.
Any ideas?
BTW im with o2!
Sms with file attachment, do you mean maybe MMS?

LMAO yeah sorry!
Not got my brain engaged today!
its probably something to do with the MMS settings. check with your network make sure they're correct. Its rare, but sometimes a network will change settings and HTCs defaults will be out of date.
As for bluetooth, try pairing the devices using a simple 4 numerical password, complex passwords can be incompatible with some devices. Also try reversing which device is host/visible....I hate bluetooth sometimes
Think i have the settings from another site.
Now ive no idea where to go on my hd2 to input all the settings?
Anyone give me a pointer as to where i configure the mms?
Tut tut, no-one ever reads the manual anymore
One trick you could try (assuming you can connect to the internet over the phone) is update the database of settings on the phone. Scroll over to the settings menu > Wireless Controls > Data Connection, Make sure you have the correct country and network selected already. If so click Menu > Update Database> Update Database. Reboot your phone and see if it works.
Ok assuming that didn't work and you still having MMS problems you can check your MMS settings by scrolling over to the SMS/MMS menu > All Messages>Menu>Settings>Options>Menu>MMS Server. Select the server you want to use or make a new server, you can input your MMS settings in there.
I have the following config in my mms settings for o2:
Server name: 02 active MMS
IP address: 193.113.200.195
Port No: 8080
Server address: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
Connect via; o2 active
Send limit: 300KB
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
When i try and send an mms the following happens:
Popup box saying:
Cannot connect
Dialed:
Cannot connect for an unknown reason (then loads of other txt)
and then 2 options at the bottom a blue "settings" link and a "dismiss" option.
When i click on settings it takes me to a connections menu where i the following options:
My work network:
Add a modem connection
Add a new vpn server connection
setup my proxy server
Manage existing connections
and then 2 tabs at the bottom for tasks and advanced.

I've got exactly the same settings as you, and it just worked for me. Check with O2 - they may have a problem at their end, or something switched off for you.
Well ive got a 16gb card coming this week so once i get that im going to do a hard reset and set everything up properly (just been messing so far) and then see what happens. If not then ill phone o2.
I forgot to mention that i inputted those settings but in the "connect via:" drop down menu i have no option for "o2 active"
I just have work network, mms network, home network etc.

I don't really know what to say. I just followed his instructions word for word, and it worked fine for me. Where are you having trouble? At the first instruction, or part way through? How far do you get before you get something you can't do?
When i click on data connection i get the same error msg pop up saying "cannot connect"
then options to dismiss or a blue settings link
Ok now sorted. I deleted all my mms settings, went to data connection under wireless controls, made sure it was set to UK and o2 post pay and then made sure auto configuration was selected.
It updated my settings, just rebooted and tried an mms and all working fine!

Okay, this sounds like it's a data connection issue, rather than an MMS issue, as clicking "Data connection" will simply try to turn it on (if it's off).
Try this and let me know how you get on...
Go to settings tab, click Menu, All Settings, Connections, Connection Setup.
Make sure that the correct country and O2 are selected and click OK.
See if you still have the same problem.
If you do, I suspect that you can't do this next step, but it's worth a try.
Go to settings tab, click Menu, All Settings, Connections, Connection Setup, Menu, Update Database, Update Database, Yes.
It should either tell you that your settings have been updated, or that you already have the most updated settings.
If it said they've been updated, go back to the country and provider screen, make sure it's the right selections and click OK.

Very strange - I don't know why that would be. It's a way to ensure that you have the latest settings for your provider, and obviously quite useful when you have connection issues.
Never heard of it not being available though. At least you got the problem sorted without needing it!
I just bought a Hero (the Telus version, so I can use the AT&T 3G). The phone itself works fine but the data connection won't connect, it won't even connect to edge or anything. I looked through all the settings and couldn't find anywhere to adjust the settings, or an option for it to find the settings automatically. How do you set it up?
You need to add the AT+T APN settings, these are under settings>wireless controls>mobile network settings>access point names.

Hello all,
New here. Yesterday I made the mistake of trying out the lagfix thingy and bricked my phone. But managed to reflash back to stock and clockwork thanks to justanothercrowd on this forum.
After I did a reset/reflash - everything seems to work fine excepted that my phone no longer detects networks - even though it says T-Mobile, I can't make any call or have any 3G or EDGE network. So if anyone has any idea or point me to similar thread I'd greatly appreciated (yes, I've already done a few searches).
My phone: T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant - Stock ROM, Rooted, Clockwork
If you need more detail please let me know, thanks a bunch for any help
as far as I know, once the netwrk is detected, your APN settings should be added automaticaly and data should work... did you try to see if the APN settings are there and they are right?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I even manually go network Operators to select t-mobile, reboot, wiped the phone again just to be sure. It's still can't detect it.
Maybe I'm missing some sorts of package when I did a clean reflash back to the stock ROM?
go to Settings --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names and see if t-mobile is in there, and if it is, make sure the fields are correct (APN, MMSC, MCC, etc) and if T-Mobobile is not there, add it manually, see if that helps

You're right, the APN is empty... I guess I was just checking mobile networks. Can you post the settings? Otherwise I can go hunt around for one.
Thanks a bunch for your help!
Edit: I got it working! Thanks a lot! If anyone else needs the settings:
Name:T-Mobile
APN:epc.tmobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC:310
MNC:260
APN Type:Internet + MMS
glad you got it working... for other people wanting to add manualy, once you get to Access Point Names, click menu, New, and name it T-Mobile, on APN put epc.tmobile.com and leave everything else empty.... reboot the phone and the network will automaticaly fill the rest of the fields
HOPE im gonna get at least a "thanks" for this???!!!

Try to disable WiFi connection. Your phone should connect to Internet using 3G data connection now. Enjoy…
and how a blank APN do the trick???

Stop posting the same information all across the boards. I'm trashed everything except this one.
Can anyone else confirm if this actually works?
Just tried this, one thing I will say is my internet speed is MUCH faster. Feels as if my phone is using the hsdpa connection properly. Will report back tomorrow on anything else.
AFAIK you can't save a blank APN homie.

I don't know WHAT its doing but something is happening. I've seen a huge improvement so far. I usually have trouble using whatsapp. It's bin super quick since I done this. Hope this lasts lol.
Seriously, they allow anyone to start a new thread? I mean, if you have to create a New APN, you have to have the carrier data, and where you going to get it from?
It doesn't let you save it,
Holy ****, that really works but don't know why.
Before I had good speed too, but now it's just faaaast.
Before:
1.17Mbps down, 0.36Mbps up
After:
2.21Mbps down (!), 0.59Mbps up
Thanks mate
Edit: I think it actually works because the phone does an auto setup and doesn't use the APNs of your provider. But I'm not sure.
Anyway, just had 2.4Mbps down and 0.89Mbps up.
Does this actually work for anyone? Doesnt seem to make any sense to me, but if it works... Here is hoping
Didn't notice a difference.
im in chicago and its about 6am and i tried this. it seems to be making things faster with the market loading and stuff. ill try this again around lunch time and see if it still has a difference.
I can confirm this does actually work, though it doesn't make sense as to why...
For the ones that says it works, just a question.
Before this, you had APN configured? I means.. when you installed the rom, you manually setup the APN or you got it automatically configured with your carrier data?

I have experienced a drastic improvement on speedtest.net

If I do like suggested, when I select the new “blank” apn, the network discconect and after few seconds it connect again. Then, also if “3G” symbol is present, I have no connection at all.

It seems that not every provider supports the option to auto configure your APN if you do a new one. Had you to set the APN manually when you set up your built?
