Hello guys,
Last week I have purchased on eBay what is for me the most awaited phone of all time . It was pretty expensive and I also had to pay another 120€ to the customs, but I don't regret it...
I am still getting used to the mobile & Android, but I would like to make 2 questions:
1- My 3g isn't working, GSM calls + SMS are working fine, but I cannot access any data, do I have to update any APN details ? (and how).
2- I am only offered two options regarding the phone language, En and Spanish, which is fine, but is there anyway I could add Portuguese as input language?
That's it for now, thanks in advance for any replies.
The thing is that when I browse Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access point names, I don't have any listed and neither I have an option to add a new APN ...
Ok, I have downloaded an APP from the market called APN Portugal that auto configured the APN details of my carrier (Optimus). Now I would like to know if it is possible to add a phone language/new input languages (keyboard) ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
How did you unlock it? Has it been activated in the US with a Verizon plan before being shipped to Portugal?
Thanks

Yes, it was unlocked by the eBay seller using a code provided by Verizon.
@elmemyself: thanks for sharing your experience. Are you able to send/receive MMS in Portugal?
Hello fpont1,
I am able to receive MMS, but not to send them ... I get a msg saying that the service isn't activated with the Network.

Hi man. In the APN screen beside your APN name, is there an icon showing a small lock with a question mark inside?

Would anyone be able to take the time to post here in detail the settings for O2 MMS in Ireland on a contract bill plan?
I was on to o2 support but it didn't work and got the impression the staff wasn't really up to 100% on the XDA - probably more used to regular cellphones.
I'd appreciate the help from someone with a working mms service on o2 contract.
Many thanks to all
Conor
you could try the o2 website,
there is a section in mms area (get the settings), which allows you to send yourself the appropriate settings via sms.
try it anyway and let us know how u get on.
I'm in the north so the settings may not be applicable for your region.
good luck anyway.
Thanks but no settings there
Cheers, but they only allow you to send the settings and install them automatically by sms. There's no option to send to an XDA - just Nokia etc...
Can someone just copy them down here from their o2 monthly contract XDA?
Thanks again
Conor
ok conor,
we'll give it a go then, what details do you need and I'lli try to supply them.
MMS blues...
Thanks David!
I'm not sure if N. Ireland settings are the same for Galway but sure, let's see!
For a start, does it connect via MMS Network, or GPRS or My ISP, or The Internet etc.?
I can't send at all. But I do receive notifications of a new mms and who it's from, but when I tap download it tries to download but gets stuck there forever without succeeding. Here's what I got from o2 support but it doesn't work.
Connect to server O2IE (the server name)
Gateway - 192.168.090.074
Server address http://mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002 (I think!)
Thanks again!

MMS O2 Ireland
Hi Dan
Thanks for that - but I doubt the uk settings would work in Ireland.
O2 here tried to help so I guess I'm registered for these services.
GPRS works fine the prob is just MMS
Thanks again though!
If any Irish o2 pay monthly users could copy down their settings it might help.
Best regards to all
Conor
Conor,
sorry this took so long, got kinda busy elsewere.
have just looked and the connection was set on My Work Network,
I thought it was/should be, via the MMS network.
will have to try and see if it is still working.
the rest of the settings you gave matched mine except for the .ie replacing the .uk, and different gateway no's, this again could be a UK thing.
If I remember correctly I had some serious trouble at the beginning, I think it was something to do with the Rom version, when I upgraded it from 1.60, the MMS service started to function perfectly.
Rom?
Hi
My ROM is 1.60.00WWE
do you know if I'm up to date?
Cheers!
Conor
Hi Conor,
If you unlock your extended rom, there will be a couple of files relating to O2 customisation. It's made easier by using the horrible Active Today settings which can custimise your device for use in Ireland. I'm sure the settings are also made for the mms program. (sorry, I don't use it myself!)
As for the rom version, I think the lastest O2 rom is 1.66 which is available from their site, you could also go to version 1.72 which is available from this site. I'm at 1.72 and think it's fine.
Cheerio
Howard
Thanks Howard, David and all!
I'll try upgrading the RoM
very grateful indeed
Conor
Anyone got an idiots guide to setting up the MMS and WAP on an unlocked HTC S620 on T-Mo Uk?

Try looking here. Laters
Hi
Yeah I tried that, but when it asks me to select from a list of what i want configured it doesn't show a list!
What I need is to know how to manually set it up
Cheers
Being on Orange i cant tell ya the exact settings.
Have you tried the part on that website where they will text you the settings?? Ya just have to put ya number in.
Yep, tried that too. About 5 times, but I'm not getting the text through.
I'm getting text from everyone else and I got the confirmation text from t-mo just not the settings!
Getting narked, I may have to go back to crackberry!

Why not?
All 3G phones work in Japan as long as you are using 3G service.
At least Softbank and Docomo.
works fine in JAPAN
Thank you very much for the info !!!
Zap
Hi,
just as an additional information.
Right now i´m on a business trip at Japan,
and well HTC HD is working like a charme.

hi Kitano,
are you using a local Japanese SIM card?
If so, which Phone Company? Softbank? Docomo? Does SMS, email etc all work fine? data browsing? Google maps?
Howie,
did you roam? or did you use a local SIM?
Thanks
Scott in tokyo (In Hong Kong in 2 weeks, and will be shopping for an unlocked phone there to bring back to Japan)

all HTC phones are not locked in HKG
As long as it is 3G card, then it should work.

Thanks for confirming what I had heard! Definately want to get my phone while I'm in HK.
What I'm concerned about is that they might do things differently in Japan (so you HAVE to buy a Japanese phone), so wondering if all features work, in particular SMS / mail etc... Has anyone actually brought a phone to Japan? How did it go?

Touch HD will work with Softbank and Docomo SIM, however, both work little differently.
With Softbank SIM, SMS works, no MMS. email...depends on the definition but PC based email, such as yahoo mail, gmail is OK. however, Softbank mail (email on mobile phone, very similar to MMS) can not be configured as MMS.
There are way of configureing this by some utility software build by user group, but basicaly information such as server names, access point, ID&password is not officialy disclosed from Softbank.
Internet access is OK, but access to Internet by default configuration (which is automaticaly configured when Softbank SIM is detected by HD) will use access point which is not fixed cost service. Which means you may end up paying a lot of bill.
With Docomo SIM, SMS is OK, No MMS. email such as yahoo mail, Gmail is OK.
iMode mail(email service from Docomo, similar to MMS) can not be configured. Docomo does not allow access to iMode mail server from non-Docomo devices.
Internet access is OK. I haven't confirmed on access point, but possibly similar to Softbank SIM.
(I only had chance to test for little while on Docomo, so not able to clarify)
I hope this information helps
Thanks Hiroakir
That's exactly what I wanted to know. Actually, it's more than I thought to ask! I didn't think about Softbank's unlimited data plan not applying. I'm a heavy data user (work exchange server mail)... so... I might buy in Japan.
Thanks again!

Inquiry about the Touch HD Radio version.
which one is the best to use in Japan?
i have a Touch HD and using Softbank SIM.
so far i have tried Radio version:
1.14 is not stable, it kept drop off.
1.13 is stable but not receiving a Full Bar (3 max).
Please all take a minute to let me know what the most common used cell carriers are for our neotouch users here, i will use the data to add data connectivity/mms support for my ROMs
Thanks for your vote!
Vodafone.
I use carrier settings from connection wizard cab found on official ext rom.

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and must say I never thought there was so much suport out there for these phones. So I would like to put my problem forward for you see if you can help me.
I have bought my GT-I5800 of a freind who has just come back from north africa, he needed the money. Anyway it was originally on T mobil but he had it unlocked over here. I am on o2 and so when I put my sim card in everything worked except for the access to the internet and the GPS.
I have a P.A.Y.G. account but do have access to the web on my old phone with a cretain amount free every month of topping up.
When I phoned o2 using my new (secondhand) phone to get the setting sent by text the chap said it was not an GT-I5800 but a maxtel. The thing is that when it starts up it shows the GT logo and the screen is the same as what i've seen on the photos, the three button style. I have found inside the phone these details:-
Model no. GT-I5800
firmware 2.2
Baseband I5800XXJH1
Kernelversion 2.3.32.9 [email protected]@#1
Build no. FROYO.XXJPB
I wanted to get the web side working and GPS although it does connect to my home router wirelessly ok and phone calls +text work ok. Any help would be most welcome.
Cheers everyone. raccoon
You need to manually set your APN (Access Point Name).
1. Google 'X APN Settings android' where X is the name of your mobile network provider (eg. t-mobile) and keep that page open.
2. Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile network -> Acces point names. Press the menu key and choose new APN
3. Add settings (name, APN,...) according to your provider
4. You should now have internet connection.
GPS is something beyond my knowledge
Cheers Thom I will try that and post back asap.

Do you have the correct settings? What o2 sim do you have? Simplicity, normal payandgo, or a basic old 2g sim card? (and yh the settings change accordingly)
