no way to connect it I have the same that and i think they block all port except 80 for internet explorer , i have some app to which go to the net to update information but fail to connect so that is price 5 pound for 2 g data just use explorer

That "data plan" only allows you to access 3's own web sites, it is NOT full (or even partial!) internet access at all. It is a big con basically, if you want data then join another network - T-Mobile have the best data plan right now!

Will Three UK sim card work on Touch HD?

I know the Three (3) sim card is a special U2 or U3 sim card and should only work on 3g phones. Does anyone think it will work on the HD? I don't want to buy the phone and then use it on the 3 network for the remainder of my contract only to discover it will not work on the 3 netork in the UK. Any opinions appreciated.
Thanks!
BTW I feel this is the best phone ever (well so far). I can't wait to get hold of it. Only thing it lacks which would make it perfect is a flash and internal storage. So excited for it to be released.

I'm in the same boat...
But as far as I'm aware, if your phone supports 3G, then you are ok with a 3 sim. I've tried my 3 sim in a couple of phones and so far that rule seams to have worked.
I can't see any manufacturer having made a special effort just to accommodate 3 and yet lots of phones do work with thier sims...
Still, further confirmation would be good.
My problem is that I used to use these dual sim things to switch between work and home sim on the same phone. they don't seam to work with 3 sims.

To elaborate slightly
I currently have a 3 pay as you go SIM in the touch HD and it works fine. So far I have successfully used
3g/HSDPA - internet with my laptop
DATA - connectivity on the phone ie; mail, browser traffic, weather etc etc
VOICE - Works just fine as expected
Skype calling is also working allbeit the app is a little slow

I was on a contract with 3, bought an HD from Expansys UK with a T-mobile contract. When I got my phone, I put the 3 SIM in the HD and it worked perfectly for calls and data until I ported over my number to T-Mobile.

Does anyone here know the settings to access Planet3 on Opera so I can check my usage and balance? When I go to mobile.three.co.uk it takes me to the website version and not the mobile version. I heard you had to change the user agent in config. Any ideas???

Can anyone confirm if they are able to get a data connection on the 3 network when out of 3G signal? I understand that for 2G access the phone uses the Orange network. When it does this for me I cannot use my data connection. PIE and Opera Mini just hang. I can get on the Planet 3 site but that is the only site I can access. Do others get the same problem? Over on this site they say it works:

But it doesn't work for me!

On GSM you can only access planet3 and some of it's sub-sites. You need 3G to be able to browse the Internet, but you can still use Skype, push email, and MSN(i think) on GSM. If anyone knows the full list of services you can use on three.co.uk over GSM, that would be handy.

Many thanks TheNemonic, the 3 network would be perfect if you could also access the web on GMS when out of range of the 3G network! I wish there was a work around.

No Map showing on google maps on Hero

Hi all,,
I'm hoping for a little help, i have run google maps on my Hero and it connects to the sats, and appears to find my location, but no maps are showing, only a blank screen, have tried allsort but no good
Any ideas as i am now stuck !!!!!
Thanks in advance

This may seem silly but do you have an internet connection? Are the arrows beneath the 'G' or 'H' moving (specificity the right/downloading arrow)

think your right
my hero wont connect to the internet at all on the google maps, browser,layer app anything, have phone vodafone who tell me they dont sell or support the hero even though i have it in my hand...useless,,have tried everything to no avail, so am returning it shame it is a great phone but useless.

Have you set up an APN for Vodafone?
Regards,
Dave

To be honest using the Hero on Vodafone is a big let down as even if you set up the internet & mms on the device you will only get basic functionality ie just internet & mms. You won't be able to use streaming video, voip, use the integrated Facebook features or even use an instant messenger. All this is down to Vodafone blocking certain ports on their network. Sorry dude

fixed it
Have replaced sim with a new one and all seems well, 3g connects straight away and all the apps i have tried so far are working great, still a few to try, but facebook, beebplayer, skype etc all working, will report more when i have tried them.

AT&T Settings for HD2?

Hello, I am about to soon get my new HD2 and wondered if there were any AT&T cabs that will automatically update all the network settings, MMS, text, etc for the phone or if there is a resource for setting all these net settings up?
Also, while I have you what has your experience been on AT&T with your new HD2's? How is your internet speed been without 3G?

Anybody? I just ordered with Clove, and use ATT. I can tolerate Edge, but would like to know what others think.

I just got my HD2 on Tuesday. It will automatically detect AT&T network and auto configure.

Thanks sir! Can't wait to get mine!

I've found it to be very fast on ATT. I have gotten around 180kbps download using the iphone speed test site but it loads pages so quick! And as stated it will auto configure. Only problem I had was that youtube failed to work on wifi so I had to delete the wap.cingular proxy in the registry for youtube.

You are telling me that youtube worked at all with Edge speeds? I was thinking youtube would be out for this phone on AT&T without 3G...

Should work just fine, just on edge speeds. Besides, you can always pause it and wait a minute or two for it to download a bit ahead.

How are those on AT&T finding the Edge and GSM reception levels?

I had the HD and used it on ATT with EDGE only. It worked just fine. Just got the HD2 in Bangkok and cant wait to get back Stateside and see how she works.

How about the MMS settings on at&t. Did it auto config for that too? Have you sent or received any mms's on it yet with at&t? Thanks.

i have had the phone working on ATT in the states for 3 4 weeks .....everything works fine MMS SMS email ..you tube is slow ......but like others ...occasinaly missed calls , text get held up and the keyboard takes a lot of time to get use to ....i mean alot ....coming from iphone

Where did you delete? I did the normal registry delete wap.cingular where I have deleted in the past to make my touch pro 2 youtube work and now I just get an error that says youtube connection failed, please try again?? Am I missing something? I can see the video listings thou.
EDIT: Did a hard reset. Seems to be working now. after the reg edit, I had to watch the video on EDGE first then try to watch it on wifi. I was trying wifi first with zero results. Weird.

Mine works fine on AT&T. I use MIFI.

I would like to start taking advantage of youtube, running on ATT's US network. It seems difficult to download these videos without having errors. Could someone be more specific as to, how to: "delete the wap.cingular proxy in the registry for youtube", and will this really solve the problem. Thank you in advance for the advice.

here is the quote on how to fix it.....
Youtube wifi fix:
Got if fixed IF YOU'RE ON at&t: for those of you on at&t in the US, i finally got the YouTube app in Dutty's 2.1 ROM to work. Yeah!!! i used a registry editor and removed the value "wireless.cingular.com:80" from the Proxy setting under the key HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}\HTTP-{436eF144-B4FB-4863-A041-8F905A62C572}. next, i fired up the YouTube app and it connected almost instantly. i waited for 3 minutes, soft reset and tried again to make sure the settings are not reset automatically: the settings survived and YouTube connected almost instantly. since i have 2 Touch HD's (one an EDGE only the other 850 3G) that had the problem, i fired up my second one, deleted the same key and it connected without issue. performed the soft reset and it worked as well

I installed the cab file. MMS and internet seems to be working. But some things like E-mail and Google Maps seem to not work. What do I need to do?

do I need a data plan to connect online with AT&T. since its already on EDGE, i was thinking i dont need to purchase a data plan. also do i neet it for MMS, or just a MMS and SMS texting plan should be good?

3G Doesn't Work for Chat

Hello,
I just got a brand new focus unlocked and i updated it to mango, everything works fime, wifi works fine but when i try to use only 3g conection the only thing that works is the IE and the rest doesn't work, i can't connect to windows live, to whatsapp, to facebook, anything only web browsing.
I reset all my data, without using the wifi, only 3g, i can't even log in to windows live, i can use ie withou any issue, i entered my facebook profile without any problem but when i try to log in to windows live i can't.
i also tried using another carrier sim card, the same problem
anyone else have the same problem?
Thanks

I have this problem with one particular carrier, really frustrating. I'm wondering if all Windows Phones act like this or only Samsung. This would help in my decision when buying another phone.

i changed my carrier and problem solved
