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]
[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.

MMS&Data Connection Problem..

Apologies if this has been posted before, I have tried to find topics similar, but have found no resolution thus far.
My X10's data was working perfectly, then about 2 weeks ago, market stopped working at "Starting Download" never completed, and I couldn't download Apps! This suddenly fixed itself one night randomly, and all my apps downloaded and installed, but instantly the market problem continued when I tried to use it again!
Now, the 3G/2G connection is totally non existent, there is NO icon at the top.. I have tried restarting the phone, turning it off and on, sim and battery out, even calling O2 to get correct APN settings (Server field is black, is this right?) and I got no "green light" beside "mms" at the APN type field..
The signal was fantastic before, and my family are still getting 3G connection on their phones, so I ahve no idea what the problem is.. I installed a few battery saving things which Iv since uninstalled.. but i have no clue what to do!
Any help would be much appreciated.. Thankyou!

suggest backing up your apps and then doing a factory data reset.. it's a pain in the proverbials but worked for me when this happened a couple of months ago.

How do I go about doing this mate? Any easy way?

Hi - Before you do this.. Can I just check something.. have you check in your network settings that it's not switched off... settings; wireless controls; mobile networks; MMS and data (needs to be on!).. and network mode - best to have it on GSM/ WCDMA Preferred to make sure... otherwise.... to answer your question above..
That will depend on whether you've already downloaded a file/ app manager such as ASTRO which will allow you to back up the apps.... if not you'll just have to make a note of which ones you want to reinstall and re load them after you've reset the phone.. the reset is done in the settings menu - sd card and phone storage - factory data reset... it will reset your phone back to how is was when you first got it though..

3G connectivity issue when leaving wifi zone

So, I've done quite some looking around in this forum and others but have not been able to to find an answer...
Here's the issue: when leaving an area with wifi connection, my galaxy s refuses to connect via 3G. Sometimes the "H"/"3G" is shown but no data is being transfered, sometimes the "H"/"3G" doesn't even show up. I've tried switching to plane mode and back, but that only helps sometimes. Switching to 2G and back doesn't help either, neither does re-selecting my provider from the provider list in the wireless settings or turning wifi on and off.
I'm on JF3 still. And here's the question: Is this an Eclair bug or firmware related? And is there a workaround, besides switching to plane mode and back every time I leave the house?
Your help is appreciated!

I have similar issue too. I hated it.
It appears to be an Android problem.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2207

I have this problem too, running an optus one.
I think sometimes.. going into the APn seetings, clicking on the field, dont change anything and press okay.. so it refreshes the APN settings and it works?
Or I rescan for networks. and choose my optus provider again.
Such a fluke.. that first few days i got this phone didnt have this problem.. and now it does... hope it gets fixed soon.

Okay, thanks. will try my luck with the android developers...

I checked out the link to google code and there seems to be a solution: restoring the default apn settings (hit the menu button when in the apn list). Seems to work, at least for now, my 3G connection came on when I left wifi after being on wifi for a few hours.

GPS problem with TMOUS HD2

The topic for trash

Your phone is trying to connect to the T-Mobile network to get a GPS fix. You need to change your settings for GPS to the APN settings for your carrirer.

Thanks for the answer.
Which settings you are exactly talking about?
I have already changed the APN for my carrier because I could not connect to 3G. And I use 3G without problems.

I think this is hardware problem. I have read that this restarting after iGo Primo launch is because hd2's mainboard.
there is still hope for some wrong settings

I am running complete Android on my phone right now so Occam not dig through my settings to tell you where to look an to be honest I got a pretty good memory but not that good lol. But anyway try looking through your GPS settings, you might have to go to Settings>Menu>All Settmings and then you whole see a little satilite icon maybe it is in there. But as I said I can not recall straight from memory the exact location, sorry. From your picture though that has got to be your problem as the epc.t-mobile.com is a to access the T-Mobile network and you need it to access your network. I know you said you changed your APN settings to get the 3G, bit I am thinking you will have to change something for hour GPS as well. Maybe it is where you changed your APN settings, I am not exactly sure. It could not hurt to go and have a look there again just to see if something is still set to the T-Mobile setting.

x below lte signal and not internet connection help!

Hello so as stated above for some reason i have an x below my signal bar but it still says lte but not connection, ive tried the following, remove sim and put it back in (both with the phone off and on), checked my apns which i never had to mess with before (which i didnt have this issue yesterday just saw it when i got to work which i usually have lte signal), turn on and off airplane mode, turn off and on mobile data, ive tried every fix i could think of so far with none of them working.. my cell service is been paid and i checked my straight talk account to make sure, but now comes the weird part when im connected to wifi and pull down the quick toggles it shows no x under the lte (see screenshot below) does anyone know how to fix this issue i rely on my lte data for directions and gps at work.
Phone info:
Android 8.1 beta opp5 rooted
Thanks to anyone that can help!

I am having this same issue as of this morning, and I am on the Straighttalk AT&T network. I wonder if they just updated their APN network and our APN settings need to be updated too? If so, I'm not sure what settings to use.. using the straight talk website and selecting "Android 4.0" (the newest version listed), it shows the settings I'm currently using. Anyone else having/resolved this issue?

Borrow a (different carrier) SIM from a friend to see if it is a network issue. If the LTE works on that SIM, go to ST and have them provision another SIM for you (free). If the LTE still doesn't work, back your phone up, wipe it, flash a full image.

I called STW tech support, and they told me I had the wrong APN... I updated my APN settings (but really it was nothing other than changing the ID, so I don't think it had any real effect) and still had no data. After checking downdetector.com, it appears there is a widescale data outage with straight talk (or more specifically, AT&T). One of the commenters stated the following:
"I can confirm the issue is DNS. If you have the ability to changes the DNS on your phone, you can restore service. If you have Android + Root, I used DNS Override successfully. Just set DNS Servers to Google's"
I just used DNS Override ($2 app) to set my DNS servers to Google's and that resolved my issue. Hope that helps. If you don't want to spend $2, there are some free apps that also will change the DNS servers for you, and there are other methods detailed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...ide-how-to-change-dns-android-device-t3273769

Update: earlier that day ot seemed to resolve itself while i was driving at work amd got to my destination which was about an hour away and once i looked at my phone ot no longer had the x and had full service amd working lte so idk maybe it was cell tower maintenence but don't know for sure but the issue hasn't happened again tho but thanks for everyone for the help and suggestion!
