what i did was pop in my sim card then the auto configuration loaded up. After that I had to restart the phone then I was good to go.

Thank you... mine doesn't seem to auto load the settings... I wonder what gives?

I actually had to call to give the my imei details then i was up and away.
it detected my settings the att guy said user/pass wasnt used anymore blanked that out but the rest of the settings were fine

you need to go to start/settings/phone/network
click on find network and that should start the auto config

Same here...
Just slid in my Sim card, turn the X1i on..
Pop show up asking to setup for AT&T...
Do you have the "Generic UK" rom??
Stuart

mine also auto configured when i first put my sim card in. i have an x1a. i found out that my internet connection wouldnt work when i powered down my phone. i had to re configure my networks settings again. now i dont power my phone down when i want to turn off my phone. i just use the communication manager to turn off the phone.
any one else notice that... that is if they power down the phone using the button, that after turning back on, the internet isnt working anymore (onboard internet or my bluetooth dun for tethering doesnt work after powering down unless i re auto configure my phone network settings).

No problem with powering my X1i down at all......
Can connect to both wap and isp access points without a problem..

did u get it working?

Yes, I finally got it to work... window mobile is still very new to me... thank you all for your input.

just got data T8282...cant connect on ATT!

cant anyone help me out with this? i went through the AT&T fuze tutorial online yet it still cant connect.
i dont think its because my device is a -82 vs the newer -85 is it? i got this phone with the understanding that the -82 will work but not at full 3g speed. thanks!
ive downloaded/installed the proxy patch 2.1 and att wat medianet and mms cabs...to no avail

Is the phone running a stock HTC ROM? If so, just run the HTC Connection Setup Wizard from Start -> Settings -> Connections. It will detect your AT&T SIM, and configure the MEdia Net connection correctly.
Oh, and moving out of ROM Development.

yea i have that set with wap.cingular access point and it cant connect still....no usernames or passwords or domains.

When you look at the advanced setting of the connection it created, make sure that under Proxy Settings only "This network connects to the Internet" is checked. "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" should be unchecked.

I've used the T8282 on ATT and am currently using T8285. Both worked without a problem. Is the phone detecting your sim card? Is ATT network set-up, but your just showing now service? Look at your phone settings and check to see if a band has been selected ie GSM 1900/2100, auto etc. I don't recall the stock rom as well, haven't used it in 6 months, but if I recall, go to settings tab in manila, select the phone, wifi, internet etc. option, then select phone. You should find an option that says change band. Select it and see what band your phone is set to. If anything, check auto, and see what happens.

if it doesnt detect the sim card i wouldnt be able to call right? i can call. phone functions fine (cant send txt messages though for some reason but can receive).
im looking under settings > phone
Current network: AT&T Wireless
network selection: automatic
band: both network and GSM/UMTS set to auto

Did you say above that there was no username or password set in the settings->connections->connections? In other words the required username and Pass of Medianet?

yes those fields are left blank as per atts support page i linked

Go ahead and select "manage connections" under Media Net. On the next screen choose edit and go through until you can add the user and pass
All caps
Username: [email protected]
Pass: CINGULAR1
I had to fill these in manually when I first received my T8285. My data worked thereafter.
You're configuring your unlocked HD via the set up of a carrier based ATT Fuze. I think may be some of the problem. I configured the settings on mine seemingly a hundred times, but never in the manner suggested by the linked support page.

yea i was reading that and just checked this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447648
and did what you said....no luck
tried [email protected] and [email protected] too
this is stupid. haha shoudltn be this hard. thanks for all the support, i appreciate it
lady at att did say this plan took effective 1.5 weeks ago so even though i called in today to change my plan to a data one...it should be working...
probably be easier if i could screenshot my phone....

Mine is [email protected]. Out of curiosity, did you input it in "all caps"?

yep tried:
[email protected]

[email protected]
my sim card is really old...can that be a problem??
phone should be "dialing" wap.cingular correct?
i wonder if there are problems with my phone because i cant send text messages either and if i go to settings > phone > services tab > voice mail and text messages.... it cant get any info from the network...

Yes indeed. Mine is two years old. Some that still have the cingular card have had issues. I guess the quickest way to find out is pop someone else's sim in to see if it configures your setting properly. When you go through set up initially, your ATT settings should be populated automatically. I'd like to see you get this working.

well my sim card is way beyond that. it was before att changed their name to cingular (and apparently back to att again now). got it when i got the sony ericsson t610 when it was first released...2003???
i wonder if this truly is the problem and i wonder if i take it into a store will they help me out since i have an unsupported phone.
phone when i got it new was able to call right away when i first got it and first popped in this oldie sim...so as far as settings are concerned, its working in that aspect

A sim that old could most certainly be the problem. ATT should support you. If it's the sim, then it's a service related issue and not an issue with the device. It may be that you just run by att and have them pop one of theirs' in and see. Another thought, after inputing the username and Pass, are you soft resetting?

I've used this cab on some devices (e.g. xperia) to get the AT&T data to work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=67434&d=1201326345
see if that helps for you. I believe it's designed for the Tilt but shouldn't do any harm on your HD...

ok i finally figured this out after going to the att store. it turns out it was indeed my sim card that was keeping me from sending text messages (back in this old thread i started http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515288&highlight=send+text+messages).
the online issue was due to 2 things. the att lady told me she had added a data plan but turns out when i went to the store the dude there checked and there was no data plan. second was again because of the old sim card.
my sim card was from back in the days of the sony ericsson t610 back in 2003 before att became cingular (and now back to att again).
so hopefully this thread can be future reference for others that may have trouble with their blackstone! woohoo!! i am connected now. feels good to have internet everywhere i go.

Question to all knowledagble ROM cookers ou there

Hi,
There's one thing that bothers me in every ROM out there and even on my own. I don't have an unlimited data plan and I hate the fact that I have pull my SIM card every time I want to try a new ROM. The problem is that if I don't, I'll be charged for access cause every ROM has the mobile connection enabled by default.
I can't find any setting anywhere in the ROM files to change this behavior... Maybe I overlooked? Does anyone if it can be done and how?

AFAIK you can just press menu when you're in setup and then choose to edit APN. Go to your APN and just put a random letter somewhere in the address to prevent it from working.
At least it's possible doing that using a vanilla ROM, not sure about sense

IIRC, during setup it asks if you want to connect through mobile network & wifi or wifi only. Just select Wifi only.

Exactly, "during setup" and not at startup. It always connects through before I can select "wifi only".

Indeed. The setting is initially set to Mobile Network & Wi-Fi, until you change it in the setup wizard or settings. It's really annoying for people with no data-plan.
You could remove the APN list from your ROM to prevent it. Also, there are a few XML files with default settings. If you are lucky, it contains the Data Connection settings, and you can change it.

Maybe for you and your country network operators. It's not about the data downloaded or the time it takes for me to disconnect it. As soon as it makes a connection, I'm charged a fee.

just hold the END button and chosse turn mobile network off?

Yeah, this is a problem for me. ROMs never used to do this so it wasn't a problem, but recent ROMs have started connecting as soon as I first turn them on, which costs me 99¢ each time.
(The pricing is: 99¢ per day for 50MB, and anything extra is charged per KB)
I've lost a couple of euro to this. It's not a big deal, but it's a pain alright.

[Q] Telstra NextG- do I need to flash something else?

Calling all Aussies. I'm a newb, and have successfully rooted my NextG (unlocked) Widlfire, and then flashed Wildpuzzle ROM. I ordered a new NextG SIM to replace my old 2G SIM and I can make calls okay but no data over NextG. I've got a data pack as part of my plan- anyone know if I need to flash anything else (a radio update perhaps?) to support NextG. I've looked in my APN config and tried all the options without success. Still says I don't have internet access. Wifi is working just fine. What to try before I ring dreaded Tel$tra support fools??

If you made a nandroid backup (which of course you did ) I would be tempted to revert back to the stock ROM and check everything works fine with that ROM and if not then phone the support guys... just in case there is a problem with the custom ROM. Once you know that the stock ROM works with your data plan you can try other ROMs and if there are problems you know it is not your provider.

Yes I did a nandroid backup. As I have my phone just set up nice now, I assume I do another nandroid backup first (and backup my SD contents). Do I need to worry about the EXT partition? Also when I restore the stock ROM I assume I will then lose root access?

Have you set everything up properly.. My next g data works.

Thanks for confirming it should work. I'm not really sure if I have set up the APN correctly. There are 4 Telstra profiles as follows: 1 = Telstra 3G Payby Time (telstra.pcpack), 2 = Telstra Internet (telstra.wap), 3 = Telstra w/Portal (telstra.internet) and 4 = Telstra MMS (telstra.mms).
I've tried all these without success. I also tried using the website for Telstra mobile setup. It detects my phone as a HTC Buzz, but when I choose internet settings it wants me to set up the APN manually as follows:
On touch screen Select APN and Using key pad enter Telstra.internet.
On touch screen Select Username and Using key pad enter "".
On touch screen Select Password and Using key pad enter "".
Scroll down on touch screen select Authentication type and select Normal.
Now press Menu key and on touch screen select Save menu option.
I can do everything except the last step "Authentication Type" I don't have any option for 'Normal'- I only see None, PAP, CHAP, PAP or CHAP.
Unfortunately I've tried all these without success. Would you mind posting your APN settings (PM me if you prefer)
Thanks

NextG works fine with WildPuzzle.
Are you in an area that actually has NextG coverage?
What are your APN settings in the phone?
Have you enabled data in the wireless & network settings?
An important point to note is that there is a setting in the phone which will automatically use Wi-Fi if available - so you need to turn it off (or disable Wi-Fi) or move out of range of your network to check 3G coverage.

i have the wildpuzzle rom, and am on telstra, the settings on the web work for me with authenticationtype;none,

Never mind- problem traced to Tel$tra- they had a block still in place on my data usage (something I asked for on my 2G service years ago). Never occurred to me the block would still apply after deliberately calling Tel$tra to purchase a 3G sim with data pack to replace my old 2G sim- specifically so "I could have internet access". Also strange that the Tel$tra sales person didn't notice the block still in place, nor did the Tel$tra support engineer looking into why I had no 3G service. It just occurred to me that it might be the problem and when I asked they said 'Oh yeah' you are right.
Lucky I realised this fact, otherwise Tel$tra would've been real happy to keep billing me for data that never got used! Well my expectations have been met by Tel$tra once again. It's a real shame we have no choice down here in Tasmania- otherwise I'd be with another carrier!
It's alll working good now. Thanks every1 for your help.

Axon 7 data not working

Hello this is my first time here so I am sorry if I screwed anything up with this post.
Anyway I just bought an Axon 7 form Italian Amazon (I am from slovenia) and inserted my Sim card in it. Everything works fine except data. I can make phone calls or write texts but even if I turn on the data it just doesn't work
Is this a bug in software and if so is there end way to fix it?
Thanks in advance

Hi, maybe the wrong apn?
Settings >dual sim settings >mobile networks >access point names
Is there your provider?

Hi there was no app actually. I tried to make one just bi clicking random things and I got 3g connection. Any idea how to actually configure an apn?

Depends on which provider you have.
Look at this maybe your provider is also there: APN Settings

Ok thanks mate

You're welcome, look on my post above i added a link.

Hi, I'm from Slovenia also. Zivjo Which operator are you on? (Mobitel, simobil...)? Tell me and I will send you link for Apn settings. I have axon 7 from amazon.de and everything works
Perfectly. I use bob (simobil) operator.

Oh zivijo I am on simobil

Create 2 apns. One for data second for mms.
Just insert this data in and save. You will have like mi only it will be simobil. Then you are good to go

Sorry, for mms is this setting

It's still only 3g but it is quite fast (15MB down) so it will do. Ena lepa hvala
UPDATE: it works perfect now thanks again

Pull down your notification menu and make the the quick setting for "data 1" is enabled. That got me a time or two. It disables in ultra power saving mode. Check!
