I flashed to jm2, and now i can't get a data connection. Wifi works, but when i turn off wifi, no internet at all..
I'm on T-Mobile in the Netherlands. Any ideas?
You need to enter the APN settings for your carrier.
Read the big FAQ thread in development section
Please put "solved" in the title of your post if that answered your question.
Ah i should have found that myself..
Thanks a lot!
pfff, how do i change the title?

Excuse me if this was covered elsewhere, but I am fairly new (at least not a regular) and this is my first time using WiFi with a cell
I have hooked up my router to my puter
Is it right that the main benefits u would get with your cell would be the minutes don't come from your bucket, if you don't have unlimited, and also you get near cable-like speed on the internet?
Well, the first does not apply, I have unlimited
The second does apply....sort of. When I turn on the wifi the speed of the net iis great. IF I come back to it a short bit later, it seems to freeze there. I can type, but it won't move, I dont that it moves if I switch off wifi, back to hspa+.
I have to turn it off then on. Can anyone please explain this?
Thanks a lot
eric
Please note that T-Mo Wifi Calling does use plan minutes. You should explain the second issue in more detail. Does the phone show the wifi icon in the notification bar when its frozen?
Thanks for the first part
I guess it is different than that calling from Wi-Fi called U? or H?
As for the second part yes no Wi-Fi symbol is still On up top . Everything up here is exactly as it was a few minutes prior when I was able to use the Wi-Fi on the web . Again I am not very good at this I will give you any information you need but please be patient and ask me for anything You need
Thank you

Your wifi app is for calling only. If you want to use the web you connect to any wifi in your wifi settings. With your wifi calling, it does not use the web for anything but calling. Your regular wifi (what we used before they put wifi calling on some phones) is the only thing that connects to the web. Hope I cleared that up for ya!

lonlawrence, thank you I believe you misunderstood me. I am not speaking of using the WiFi app.
I am speaking of using WiFi speed for the internet
Please post questions in Q&A section
Thank you whosdaman, and thanks for moving it/them if it was you that did that
it is quite ambiguous as to the difference in the two, not helped when there are other questions in the mytouch general section. ...but thanks nonetheless
while you were moving the thread, did you take time to read it and see if you can help with the , what is a prolly very simple question to you
if you can help, great. If not , np
eric
You're welcome, and yes I did
And no I can't...I have no idea
Thank you
So, when you say you have no idea. It is not typical for it to lock up if you use wifi for internet or is it not common, as in you have not tried the wifi for internet.
Thanks if you have time to answer. I know ur busy moderating the forum

Hi guys,
So I flashed, rooted and installed GreyBlur on mu Bell atrix, by following instructions from "seven2099"
It installed great and I have noticed a HUGE improvement in speed and other things.
Only problem, is now I can't connect to any bell networks for my 3G.
WiFi works fine. I am only posting in here, because I am not aloud to post in the developers section, so I am hoping this message can either find its way to "seven2099", or someone in here might know whats up.
Thanks in advance!
If you can do everything except connect to the Internet via 3G then you need to add your APN settings back in:

Don't forget to "Save" (menu button/save) after you type all that in...

Good but for one thing: Do NOT fill in APN Type. In the linked post it says 'Internet + mms'. I could not get a connection when I had that filled in, as soon as I set APN Type back to undefined it worked right away.
Just sayin'
excellent!
all worked out great!
thanks alot guys!
Bell Atrix always Roaming after 2.1.1
HI all
I spent two days trying to get to the bottom of this..
I installed 2.1.1 on Bell Atrix.. the first things I noticed the little (r) near the signal, checked the system info and it say ROAMING, my Data does not work unless I put Data Roaming on..
I am with Fido, and of course FIDO cannot tell me if really I am paying Roaming charges until the bill date which is 20 days away..
has anyone experienced that problem and has an explanation of some sort? Am I really Roaming or becuase its FR SBF the phone is reporting Roaming??
this is very disturbing and puzzeling as well.. any thoughts is really appreciated.
First off, yes, I am a noob, and I love the video you guys have to welcome us noobs to the forum
Second, I understand COMPLETELY that the G2 on AT&T does NOT support 3G.
Third I understand it DOES support edge (or 2G from the iPhone world as that is where I come from)
Now, Even though I have full signal in edge, but NO wifi, I cannot load a web page in the browser. In fact, I cannot connect to the internet whatsoever. I can send texts and make phone calls, but no internet. Is there some hack that I need to do to enable it? Could it be because I'm using a micro sim for an iPhone 4?
Thanks!
You need to edit the APN settings for AT&T.
I don't know what they are offhand
True, you need to manually enter the APN settings for the phone to work on AT&T's data network. The APN is found under Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks>Access point names
The proper settings are here:
http://android.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=309124&view=findpost&p=1281824
However, this does not explain why WiFi does not work. Not sure what's going on there.
Heh such a simple answer. I was trying to figure it out for 3 hours straight. Thanks guys, this forum's the best already
Now for some rooting heh

Welcome to the forums. You made a good choice for your first Android phone. The G2 has it all, including massive developer support.
Thanks for the APN. Editting this would only make Edge work?

In the case of the G2 on AT&T, yes. The G2 does not have the correct radio hardware to be compatible with AT&T's network. But if the correct hardware is present, the APN info allows you to connect to EDGE and 3G for your particular network.
Also, if you found my post above useful, be sure to click the "Thanks" button!
I cold not post in the Development Forum so I will ask my question here. I loaded the July 18 version of Pure Speed V8 and it is a nice ROM. The only issue I have noticed is that the email will not send/receive with Wifi on. I can surf the web fine but just no connection to email. Can anyone suggest a way to fix this? When I turn off wifi, send/receive works fine with cellular network.
Thanks!

Relax dude..he didn't post it there..and as to the op sorry I don't use email that much so when I was on pure depredations I never got to use it and I just don't ever use wifi..but maybe try toggling wifi off then back on?
/Dinc
Its a known issue. Now, I don't use wifi but I have heard that you can get an app like tasker and just set it to automatically stop wifi just before sending a message and reactivate wifi right after the message is sent. maybe for now that would help you.
I can send/receive fine with only wifi on and 3g off...

Bit of an odd one, I installed widgetsoid to allow me to turn off data network,flip screen rotation and wireless. All was ok until yesterday evening. Regardless of what I did I had no data connection at all and still don't.
I have removed widgetsoid completely and still have no normal data. I have ensured data is activated,my network is selected as orange but I still see no 3g or edge...thankfully I'm at home on wireless but as soon as I leave the house I won't be receiving emails etc.
If anyone has experience with this issue then let of know!

Check your APN settings etc you may need to manual remake all your network details .

Hi a bit of history first. I used kies to flash my phone with 2.3.4. (UK based). It work perfectly for a few days. I then need to restart my phone when I did this I lost my data connection.
I tried accessing the APN settings but i get an error message. I tried everything I even flashed Lightning 6.1 (also 2.3.4). and when I reset the phone again the data connection was not working I have to do a complete reboot. I assume it is has something to do with 2.3.4. I am in South Africa on the MTN network can someone help me with this.
I have the same problem and opened a thread on q&A section please look at there.
