[Q] HD2 WIFI only? - Networking

I recently bought a second hand htc hd2 from t-mobile, and unlocked it to work with at&t. Everything works great but I'm having an issue with data.
I don't have a data plan with at&t, hell I don't even have texting. It's just a phone. What I really want to do is use this phone the way I use my ipod touch.
Since everywhere I go has wifi, the only time I am without a connection to teh interwebz is when I'm driving so It's not really that important.
My problem is that everything I use on this phone looks for a data connection first/only, instead of just using the wifi that is available to me. It tells me "BLAH, you don't have a data network, BLAH."
Is there a way to disable the phone from looking for a data network WITHOUT turning off the phone aspect of the device? I really just want it to look for wifi whenever I goto a facebook app, or the windows marketplace... yadda yadda.
The only thing on this phone that looks for wifi only is the opera mobile browser.

hmmdo you have a custom rom if so just just turn of data connections and keep WiFi on

A custom rom. ANY custom rom will do? Or, is there one for this specific set of circumstances?

I use Nrg roms for my device, make sure you follow all the HSpl stuff before installing a custom Rom, if you have Nrg roms, go to comm manager, and turn of data connections

Awesome. I will try this. Stupid question, I won't have to re-unlock this phone after doing these roms will I?

Nope, but if your new to this, i would suggest you read the guides as you need to unlock the boot loader too, guys at the HD2 forum would gladly help you out

I use an HD2 on att with just wifi and pay per use data enabled for mms. I would highly suggest looking into using android on your HD2. I haven't had any issues with android apps requiring mobile network vs wifi network.

Data Plan-less Vogue

I got an HTC Touch from Verizon because I wanted to get away from the clutches of Verizon's lousy software they cripple every phone with and it was the cheapest WinMo phone they sold (I got it for $40.) I got the phone and stuck with my current plan ($10 add-on line on family plan.) I am cheap, my family is cheap, so we have no data plan. We can't afford a data plan, so gettign one is not an option (sorry, maybe someday in the future.)
Is there anything good I can do with my HTC Touch that doesn't require data? Is it worth flashing to a custom firmware? Is it worth installing Android? Or should I just forget it all and stick with the stock configuration?

Without data, you can text, call, listen to music, take pics, and download movies to the SD card from your computer.
Is this guy slow or something. You can do anything that doesn't use data, so the obvious things it can do were mentioned by the previous user. C'mon man, what a waste of time.
Well, actualy, pretty much anything "Android" is needing data, so stick with WinMo.
And then, you still has a GPS with Camera, music and video capacity. Pretty neat on it's own!

Well, the GPS isn't much good if you can't download maps.
You can still use it with TomTom or Garmin.
Ok, Android is out of the Question due to it's heavy reliance of data.
Is there a better Camera or video recording app than the one included? It takes decent photos, but the gallery is pokey. Video recording is lousy quality no matter what setting I put it on (hoping to get QVGA resolution at 15-25fps.)
If I want to use GPS, is TomTom or Garmin better? Which flash file is best for allowing use of GPS without Verizon navigator or some add-on service.
Also, is there any flash that helps to minimize memory card corruption? I have an 8GB microSD card and it seems to corrupt anytime I write files through the phone. I can take it out and use an adapter to load music and movies, but installing apps is usually the death of the card.
Sorry if I sound like a rookie, I have messed with RAZR flashing and game console soft-modding, but not much Windows Mobile experience.

I am with you brother as VZW BLOWS!!! Unfortunately that is who my work plan & I don’t have a choice. I was going to buy a Touch Pro without a data plan but the pricks wouldn’t activate the phone without a data plan which I still fail to understand.
I believe that NFSFAN’s 6.5 ROM does have a slightly better camera & video camera option. It is the same software & only the registry settings are tweaked.
GPS is whole another issue & be prepared to do a lot of reading. Again you are going to want to use NFSFAN’s ROM for GPS. Just trust me on this one. GPS will work with the stock ROM but you will have to soft reset your phone every time you want to use it. These threads should help you out.

I have not had any memory card issues. I take mine out & put it back in all the time. I could be just that you have a bad card. Some of the Kingston cards do have this issue.
Also note that flashing a custom ROM will void whatever warranty you may have.
I'm not too worried about the warranty, if I was I wouldn't be here!
Anyhow, sounds like I will get the best mileage out of flashing the NFSFAN WinMo 6.5 ROM and then activating the GPS ala instructions found on this forum and a wiki page I found while searching around.
I still need to read up a bit about the flashing process. I flashed a few RAZRs to play around, but they weren't activated and the process for WinMo is quite different.
For very cheap you can also get a usb bluetooth for your computer, then setup activesync via bluetooth, which will provide you pass-through internet over bluetooth while in range and connected to activesync via bluetooth. That means while in your home (generally in the same room) as a the bluetoothed computer, you will be able to use any internet services on the phone as well.
Is there a guide to setup passthrough internet via bluetooth with ActiveSync?
I already have bluetooth built into my laptop (it's a Macbook Pro, running Windows 7 for for ActiveSync and gaming) so essentially it would be free, but I don't want to accidentally go on Verizon's data (I am on the pay-per-MB plan because I signed up online and couldn't choose no data.)

If you're willing to come off of VZW, another possibility is PagePlus. It is prepaid and uses the VZW network. You can stay on it for as little as $4/mo.
As far as data... You can do pay as you go for data, OR, the service gives you free QNC (free slow data), but you have to figure out how to get your device to use QNC (14kbs). People have successfully used PP QNC with Treos, Moto Q's and HTC 6700's.
I believe there is an app that allows you to toggle data usage on your phone so you can avoid getting charged by accidentally using data. I believe it is linked in Codybear's FAQ and you may need a custom ROM for it to work.

I am in the same situation! I purchased the phone 2 months ago and I just wanted a smartphone i.e. something to download programs on to that I don't have to pay for. I really like NFSFAN's winmo 6.5 ROM. The latest version is very good and I would consider flashing. Btw Stock config really sucks at least flash to something aesthetically pleasing!

You mean like Android? (No, android isn't flashable yet, but it can be booted from any GPS-enabled WM ROM.)
Android is good, I'm running it on my Vogue. I don't have a data plan either... and Android really makes you wish you had one.
A good program for WinMo for those without data plans is SmartTouch. It gathers all sorts of SMS services into one and does all the Google SMS stuff, Facebook, IM, Yellowpages, etc. I have unlimited texts and no data so when I was using WinMo I relied on that a lot.
You guys are gonna kill me, but I don't have texting either. I got to choose the phone and have no say over the plan. I have pay-per-text and pay-per-data. My plan is the standard $10 add-on line for FamilyShare 700min basic plan. We have 5 lines total, so we are pinching pennies hence no text or data.
On a side note, I seem to be having trouble finding a guide/sticky on how to flash NSFAN's 6.5 ROM and setup my phone after the upgrade to use it on Verizon (I know with RAZRs you had to do some crazy crap with reprogramming and Seem edits and such, which I never did get since I only flashed a de-activated phone.) I know it deals with something RUU or RRU or something. Any pointers are appreciated!

how can i do this!? my phone only need bluetooth correct? because the sprint vogue "doesn't have" wifi
You need to buy a USB "Bluetooth Dongle" for your PC. This will allow your PC and phone to connect via the PAN (Personal Area Network) capabilites of the Bluetooth stack.
Bluetooth dongles are incredibly cheap thru Amazon. It is a little quirky to set up but works great.
Buy the dongle and install the drivers.
Install ActiveSync.
Turn on the your phones Bluetooth and make it visible.
Go to ActiveSync on your phone and under "menu" select "connect via bluetooth"
Now you may need help figuring out how to make it all connect, but do the above first... then ask questions if you are unable to get it to setup correctly.
I have this setup working flawlessly on my Samsung i760...
I will admit I am having trouble getting the Vogue to connect "flawlessly", but that is likely due to the "quirkiness" of this kind of connection.

I cannot access web and get MMS because all my settings are for T-mobile (default). Where can i get the settings for it or .cab file to cahnge it over to work with AT&T?
Is anyone in the same boat as me?
Previous phone = Iphone 3GS
bought HTC HD2
Unlocked it (Remote code)
inserted official AT&T 3G sim card
phone is working but without data connection/MMS
Here is what you need. Just apply the cab and reboot.
Hope it helps, worked perfectly for me.

if you plan on switching roms, the newer ones usually have the function built in to configure them according to what carrier you are on. I found that either Kumar's or NRG's roms work pretty well as I'm currently using Kumar's Lite WWE rom

Copy the cab file to your phone and then use file explorer to go to it and double click on it and run. I will agree with the post above, 99% of custom roms come with a connection setup that lets you choose ATT and it downloads the settings for you. Plus helps out the OS lol
I got the file installed but still no luck, any other ideas??
Media Net
I have installed the media net but it still doesn't work.
I did the same thing and the people at at&t told me that it want allow you to have data connetion through them. They were wrong. Call 1-866-449-8358, they will hook you up with the settings. You want have to download anything. Once you have a data connection it will show that you are connected to edge. But, it is 3g.
I got this figured out. go to settings/Wireless Control/Data Connection/Advance(tab on the bottom)/Selectnetworks/ and then change the both drop down bars to Media Net.
Don't forget to turn the Data Connection "on" in the wireless controls.
It worked just fine on my HD2
I used the cab file on the first page, installed and restarted. Mobile internet works fine, but I still can't receive MMS. The pics are the right size so I am lost as to where to go next. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanx.

Can you make sure these are the settings in your mms server info

Thanks guys for all your help. Got it figured out. The problem was that I couldn't find where the heck to get to mms settings in the first place. Taken care of.

How can you be sure that HD2 will run on ATT 3g? alot of people are saying it probably won't have 3g, but you get an EDGE network... i really need to know this because i might switch to att from tmobile.
I am in between iPhone's (3GS-iPhone 4), but I have an HTC HD2 T-Mobile USA version as a secondary phone. I returned my 3GS (which I just recently upgraded to after losing my 3G iPhone) so I could be eligible for the upgrade price on the iPhone 4 and I only have the HD2 right now (love the phone by the way). Anyway....
Quick question: I tried applying MEdia Net/MMS Settings both manually and with the cab file, but I cannot seem to get data working on my HD2. My AT&T account is not on Media Net it is on the iPhone data plan, so could that be the reason why I cannot get data to work on my HD2?
I tried figuring out the problem on my own but I'm obviously not getting it done...thx for the help.
p.s. The HD2 is running on stock software. I have not applied any roms or hacks to it.
OS: 5.2.21892
ROM: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE

Funny, I'm in the same situation! I sold my iPhone yesterday in prep for the iPhone 4 and got the HTC HD2 from T-Mobile to use for a couple of weeks (also got it unlocked by them the next day!).
After installing the .cab file, reboot your phone then go and change your data settings in the HD2. I'm on the iPhone data plan with AT&T as well and everything thing seems to be working fine.

The T-Mobile HD2 will not work on AT&T's 3G bands, period...only edge. You'll have to get the Australian (Telstra) model to be able to use AT&T 3G.
Choosing baseband
Interesting because in Phone Settings there is the option of choosing your baseband between AT&T's or T-Mobile's or to put it on Auto. I just chose Auto to be safe as I'm using an AT&T sim.
On hold with HTC Support so I'll shortly know definitely.

What exactly does a ported rom mean?

Hey guys, I'm new here but I have some (nooby) questions. I'm currently using an iphone to tether my laptop using web2go from t-mobile. I got a g1 from someone and of course rooted and started tinkering with it so that I could get web2go to work on the g1.
My question mainly is if I port over say another android based os, like the droid eris os that is available, does that change the way the phone interacts with t mobile? Or would t-mobile still recognize the internal imei and not care about the os and settings? I'm mainly asking if I can port over another os onto the g1 so I can tether like I currently do.
I know there will be the people who say just buy the more expensive plans, but if I could I would. I'm tethering with these phones because I can't afford real internet!
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Tmobile will recognize the IMEI although I have used the wireless and wifi tether's both and not had a problem on Tmo.
wait you use the 9.99 web2go? What settings do you use? Because whenever I try it has trouble "finding internet connection" or whatever. although technically the internet should still be coming through right? It's just being subverted by the g1's software that requires the higher tier services?
If its rooted, just use the wireless tether app. You can find the link here and put it on your SD card. Download Linda file manager from the market and use it to install the tether apk. From there, you will change your phones 3G or Edge signal into a wifi one that your laptop can use. You can use that on any rom, and it doesn't matter wether its droid eris or stock. The only thing that tmobile can see is your imei and your radio version, not the rom.
ok I will try this tomorrow and get back to you. Thanks for all the help
well I tried it real quick right now and I guess I forgot to make clear whats going on. When using the G1 as opposed to the iphone, the web2go subscription gets subverted. So while web2go works with a proxy on the iphone, on the G1 it does nothing.
I have the tools to tether except the G1 / T-mobile subvert the internet. I wanted to know if this was based on imei or on a software lock. Because I have heard of people using their G1's with web2go I'm assuming it's a software lock. So if I use a rom of an os that can run web2go, will I be able to use it? or will the imei lock it out?

there's only really two different os versions. well, more, but two popular ones. 1.6 (donut) and 2.1 (eclair). does the g1 have a data plan? does it even have 3g? you say you just got it, so if you don't have 3g, there's nothing to tether. as for it not working - if you're rooted it will work. there's also a app on the market (for now) called easy tether. just use the free version.
edit: read top post more clearly - no. you can't tether if you don't have 3g. if you can, it's new to me.
one more edit: you can do what my friend did - take an old satellite dish, hardwire it to a router, and just connect a lot of wire clothes hangers to the satellite's receptor or.. er... thingy and steal wifi for like miles. ha ha.
The thing is web2go is a data plan that can access unlimited 3g through a proxy. T mobile wants users to use their strict g1 data plan, so any other data plans get shut off. I'm wondering if it's imei or software. If its a software lock then I can just install a different rom I'm guessing.
When I tether with the same data plan on my iphone i get edge speeds, the main reason i want to get the g1 working is so i can get the 3g speeds
Ok, then try this. Go to the tmobile.com website, sign in using your number and password (or create an account). When you get to the screen that shows you a picture of your phone, select the option right under the picture that says not my phone, then select any other 3G capable, non android device. That should put you in the clear for a few hours/days/weeks/months, or whenever they decide to check your account.
Ok I tried it but it still didn't work. I'm starting to think it might be the g1 software which is helping shut off the Internet. I'm going to install a new rom and hopefully I'll be able to set the settings for t mobile. Will keep u guys posted

[Q] Trouble with rooting and wifi tethering-HELP!

Hi, New here and have been trying to root and get my phone to wifi tether.
Ive read over many,many pages and like my user name suggest. I have become more confused. Im not very good when it comes to computers in fact the computer Im using for this is a 2003 with windows XP. A dinosour and not a strong one.
I have the unrevoked 3 on my the computer. I went through all the steps. And the unrevoked said waiting for root (can restart if this doesnt work) at this point it restarted it self.
So am I done with this part or did it not finish? Is there something I should see on my phone after. I'm lost. I really need this rooting and wifi tether.
Please someone help me.
Okay, Ive got it to go all the way through until it said it was done. Now what I still dont see any differance is there a place I should look to see this?
You can tell you are rooted by looking for the superuser app in your app pantry. Unrevoked should also have flashed clockwork recovery onto your phone. You will have to flash a rom to get tethering on your phone. I don't feel like typing out everything here, so come into the IRC sometime. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria
Okay I'm rooted now.
Do I have to install a file Manager now? I have a Wifi app. installed now I cant get it to work though. Am I missing something?
If I have to install a file manager which is the best?

Astro or Estrong
first thing you should do when you are rooted, is make a nandroid backup.
And then install the Free Wifi Tether app, or install the latest Liberated Froyo rom,
which has tethering over USB, and Wifi hotspot built in.
Have it all done. Thank you very much Anthony1s and the people at IRC. Very helpful and patient. Im pretty much new to computers and this phone stuff. He made it simple.
I have a few questions still. When the new latest ROM comes out is there a easy way to find it? Like a place to look ect.
When turning on Wifi tether I assume that it uses my megabytes from my phone plan even though the simbol on the top is not there when tethering. Am I right about this? Or is it free? Can At&t find out and give me a tethering charge?
All help has been greatly appericated. Thank you
You just check the official thread for the ROM you are following. If its one of attn1's - he updates is good about updating the first post.
As long as you aren't having any issues and are happy with the way everything is working, there isn't really a need to check for updates. Unless you're obsessive like me.
Currently AT&T does not check to see if you are tethering on your own accord, so at the moment - the built in tethering is free!
Yes, a little obsesive. Now more so because of being able to do this. I want the latest and best ROM. I'll admit I liked some of the original ROMs features and smoothness a little more, but all the extra stuff greatly out weighs this.
So, when I use the wifi tether connected to my laptop or another phone its not using any of my megabytes from my data or internet plan? It just seems to me that it would.

depends how you're keeping track of your data. I know some apps that track your usage - don't even see tethered traffic.
i would imagine that data use is kept at at&t's end so teathering would use data same as you surfing the net from the phone.

[Q] No Data connections via Phone in Android

Hi:
I am using AmeriCanAndroid AOSPHD2GB232CM7RC1|bkup2sdext234[KERNEL:AmCanAndroid r2.21] and just about everything works perfectly.
The only issue I seem to have is in Android, I cannot use the mobile phone to get internet. The Phone sends and receives call perfectly, but if I want to use Market or the browser, I get the error:
A NETWORK ERROR HAS OCCURED. rETRY OR cANCEL AND RETURN TO PREVIOUS SCREEN.
I think I have tried every combination of settings in the wireless section. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Chaz
the only known temp(!) fix is to restart ur phone , given ur settings are correct it should work for a while .... have you been switching data on/off a few times? thats when it happens to me ....
be sure to report this problem to rom cooker so it gets fixed faster ...
When you say restart, do you mean restart android? I don't think I have ever been connected, unless there was WIFI in the area.
I use this ROM without these problems.
Try to check the apn and the DNS. Have a look at the faq.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

No Data connection
I am have the same problem on my phone also. Have the T-Mobile phone using the ATT system. Have tried several different roms and still cannot get a Data connection. A lot of us need some help please. If anyone can shed light on this, please let us know.
call t-mobile
i called t-mobile and told them, i could only connect to the internet via wifi. i pay for data and i cant connect unless its through wifi. DO NOT mention that you flashed your phone, put a different ROM or Android.
After doing this my internet started to work again
hopes this helps
do you set your APN?
May I ask what you told TMO?
I read in an older post that you may have to switch from smartphone data plan to android data plan to connect to the internet, does anyone have any idea about this??
I also am curious if my build is synonymous with failed data connection... as well as (not related item) battery sucking....???or any other know issues as I seem to misplaced the page I downloaded it from...
