I have a strange problem with my Vibrant that I haven't seen any other mentions of yet...
I updated to JI6, and after that I found that if I'm using the GPS on my phone, my internet access over 3G (and EDGE) stops working until I power cycle the radio (flight mode on and off) and turn off the GPS. Has any else experienced this? I did another factory reset on my phone, but that didn't help. I am on Simple Mobile, with APN settings:
apn: simple
proxy: 216.155.165.050
port: 8080

i recently just found out you could use the normal data plans instead of the PDA connect ones but now after ive changed it my internet isnt working at all
i keep getting the "cannot connect" window
is there something i was suppose to do or?
please help
make sure your connection settings are correct.
Should be
Cellular Line GPRS
APN: wap.cingular
User: [email protected]
Pass: CINGULAR1
it may previously been set to isp.cingular
I took PDA connect off yesturday and switched to Media Max 200 with no problems.
I have the new Att Released Rom, so all my settings default to WAP now.
PDA Connect data plan allows you to connect to the internet without going through Cingulars proxy
chances are your still setup to not go through their proxy
im goin off memory, but i believe settings go as follows:
AP: wap.cingular
USERNAME: [email protected]
PASSWORD: CINGULAR1
now heres the difference
Advanced:
This connection connects to the internet -- Check
This connection uses a proxy to connect to the internet -- Check
Proxy Name: wireless.cingular.com
All of that IS Case-Sensitive
hope it works for ya
::EDIT:: Never mind, I should have did a little more searching before posting. My fault!
Hi All
I've finally got my Desire z, which is my first android phone and I'm having trouble with it.
Firstly, my network o2 in the uk, don't support the phone so can't send through settings for internet etc. Secondly I have tried several sets of APN settings I've found online but none of them have worked.
ALso, despite having connected to my wireless network, I still can't get internet or anything working.
At one point for a couple of minutes, I did have my location and weather showing but now that is not working either.
So far my experience of the phone is nothing but disappointment as I can't do anything with it yet
Can anyone help me?
I'm on O2 UK myself and it took me a while to get it right, but here's what I have and it all works okay (both standard Internet data as well as MMS)
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
You need to create two APNs, delete everything else you might have:
Name: O2 GPRS (or anything you want)
APN: mobile.o2.co.uk
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: mobileweb
Password: password
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: <Not set>
MMS proxy: <Not set>
MMS port: <Not set>
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0 (Because you can't unset this)
MCC: 234
MNC: 10
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default
Name: O2 MMS (or anything you want)
APN: wap.o2.co.uk
Proxy: 193.113.200.195
Port: 8080
Username: o2wap
Password: password
Server: <not set>
MMSC: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
MMS proxy: 193.113.200.195
MMS port: 8080
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 234
MNC: 10
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: mms
And that's all you need to do. It'll use the first connection for regular Internet and will automatically use the second one with the MMS details when needed. I tried to combine them into a single APN, but wasn't ever able to get a fully working solution so I just gave up as the two APN method above works.
Unfortunately O2 send "small" photo messages if they don't recognise the useragent of your phone and I think they're still doing that, but I haven't done much testing with this. Sadly if that is the case there isn't anything you can do except hack your MMS UserAgent (I don't yet know how to do this) or wait for O2 to hopefully add it to their system.
Thanks for those, I did manage to get it working in the end last night.
The problem was that although my phone was connected to my wireless network, it was unable to access the internet (any one got any ideas why?). Cos the wifi was connected the phone wasnt even trying to use the mobile internet settings.
Once I turned off wifi, the mobile internet worked fine.
Now my problem is why my router wasn't letting the phone connect to the internet but allowed it to connect to wifi?
After a restart of the router it all worked fine for a little while (maybe half an hour) then it stopped working again...

The firewall in your router ?
My Desire Z prompted me when I put the SIM in what settings to use.
It didn't have the O2 Mobile Web APN though, just the MMS one. Internet (HSDPA / 3G) was working out of the box. Have added it now and it seems my internet is quicker / more reliably*

*As quick and as reliable as O2's 3G data network can be.. Voice n text is always fine.

I've disabled the firewall and still nothing, the phone connects to the wireless but can't see the internet at all.
I'm completely at a loss as to what the problem might be, I'm guessing it's something to do with the router but have no idea what or how to solve it.
MAC filtering on the router?
I tried searching for an answer but couldnt find any. So when i use any sense/sense HD builds on my phone, data works for a bit, but then it'll get stuck with the 3g or H icon and the up arrow showing something is being uploaded. I can't use data then at all and the phone goes really slow and only way to fix it is be restarting the phone. It wont let me turn off mobile data either when that happens. So the phone just becomes unusuable, so i cant use sense builds anymore. didnt happen before, just started recently, last week or so. I dont understand. I'm on T-mobile, i use internet2.voicestream.com for my data and the epc.tmobile.com one for MMS in the APN settings. this worked before, but now im getting this problem. Regular android builds work fine.
What kernel are you using? Hastarin's newest ones work flawlessly for me. Have you tried updating your radio to 2.14 or 2.15? For your APN settings try this. Delete the ones you have and make just this one. It works perfect for me on sense and CM builds:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Username: (leave this blank)
Password: (leave this blank)
Server: (leave this blank)
MMSC: http://mms.msg.english.t-
mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS Port: 8080
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0 (don't know if this is important)
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: (leave this blank)
Also, it's normal to still get a couple of data drops (I get them VERY rarely) but I can fix them by turning airplane mode on and off. I hope this helps.
Hi for my xperia x10 I had wifi only for a while and all of a sudden it started to connect to the internet using the phone company's gsm/edge/etc.
How do I turn it back to WIFI ONLY. I don't want to pay for internet because I don't have a web plan.
My apn is set up correctly; so I don't know what's going on. It just switched all of a sudden:
Name: T-mobile
Apn: Wap.voicestream.com
mmsc: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Uncheck the box next to mobile network in settings
Now I can't receive/send picture msgs. =(

The exclamation mark in the network display which displays the signal strength of the cellular network in the status bar, simply means that you are not connected to the mobile Internet. Config again/Enable the mobile Internet on your Android Lollipop 5.0 Smartphone and the exclamation mark will disappear in the status bar. Why this feature has been implemented, is not to say. Unfortunately, it can not be disabled at the moment with the current versions of Android Lollipop 5.0.

You might have wiped your APN settings.
Go to Network Settings, choose Access Point Names and enter the APN for your network (Globe).
Here they are (copied from the Globe community forum):
GPRS settings:
- Name: Myglobe Internet
- APN: internet.globe.com.ph (for prepaid: http.globe.com.ph)
- Proxy: <not set>
- Username: <not set>
- Password <not set>
- Server <not set>
- MMSC <not set>
- MMS Proxy <not set>
- MMS Port <not set>
- MCC:515
- MNC: 02
- Authentication type: <not set>
- APN type: internet if it is a selection or "default, SUPL" if it needs to be type.
