Hey,
I just installed WP7, it's all running very smooth but my Wifi doesn't find any networks and I don't know how to set my APN settings.
I read other posts saying go to settins->mobile network and then edit apn. But I only see Add apn which asks for a username and a password?
Help would be appreciated.

Are you T mobile? All I did was put the carriers name. I have T mobile so i put "T-Mobile US" and left the rest blank. Worked for me.
apn
apn: epc.tmobile.com
user name: blank
password: blank
works for me (tmous) been using it for a couple hours. had one random reboot, but all good after that
I had the same problem, I use HI although he suggest i'm on KPN but you have insert in the APN section: portalmmm.nl
Wifi doesn't see any networks at all? Odd.
Wifi's working well enough for me. I did notice some pretty weird stuff, though:
It seems to be impossible to find out your wifi MAC address from within WP7 - I had to browse through my router's logs for it.
Once I found it, though, I soon realized that it was actually useless to know in the first place, since the MAC address seems to change every boot with this ROM (forget about restricting access to your network based on MAC).
While modifying router settings to get the phone to connect, WP7 also froze on me a few times.
WP7 will not connect at all with networks with a hidden SSID.
It would seem there's still some room for improvement on the wifi front.
I've the same problem with Wifi since i flash the OS with a SD cards !If i remove this one, all works fine!
wifi workig great here with conectify as AP. mac is changed on every restart also.
My wifi works and the phone shows a 3g, H etc signal, but I cant sent mms
Prepaid T-Mobile service
I believe the problem with the settings are not for the regular T-Mobile service, but for the Prepaid T-Mobile service (SimpleMobile), there is no place configure the APN with all the necessary settings like: Proxy, Port, MMSC, MMS proxy, MCC, MNC, etc.
If anyone finds a way to setup this values on HD2WP7 please post here.
Thank you in advance
Load the attached connection setup xap and run it, it will automatically apply your carrier settings for 3G and mms. Worked perfect for me (TMoUSA)
How do I load this file? I already tried it from the phone, but it doesn't work.
Does anyone know how I could sync to outlook with my hd2 wp7
When go to settings > celuar, click on automatic, then press manual. When you have done that you see a button sais APN. Click on it and put this in (Vodafone)
APN: live.vodafone.com
user: vodafone
pass: vodafone
All done, now It works (for me anyway). Wifi sucks on some SD cards, don't know wich ones.
Also there is somwhere here a APN list for alot of country's and providers. Search google XDA APN settings or so.
Thing this would work for getting ATT 3G and MMS working?
Yes, as long you as you put youre own providers APN settings It should.
I can't configure the apn settings, and the HTC Connection Setup show me this message: "the carrier doesn't exist in database. Please contact your carrier for connection setting and go to Setting>Cellular>edit APN for further configuration"...
Is there a way add my carrier the the database of the connection setup?
Any luck with the WIFI issue?
I've tried the above mentioned solution by removing the SD C & reboot again but i didn't work for me.

I have the latest 3VO rom installed. No problem EXCEPT the MMS won't work.
I have tmobile. The messages just sit in the out box.
They worked fine with the original bloat software from tmobile.
I even hard reset. No help.
Maybe a setting?
Help. I have pictures of my new grand daughter I need to send!!
Did you try the setting posted in the ROM Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4799282&postcount=529
No. The settings on the post are from the 20's. ugh... Thanks!
SMS works fine. the default settings are.
CONNECTIONS. GPRS.
Then I pick. Tmobile MMS
access point = epc.tmobile.com
everything else is blank, user name, password, primary dns, secondary dns and IP
thats all I have to choose from.
Change the "connects to" to: WAP Network
Change the "Access Point" to: wap.voicestream.com (you have to type it in, it is not a selection)
Then go to Settings/MMS Setting, press the right soft key and select MMSC Settings. Press the right soft key and select Edit. Scroll down and make sure the settings match up with the post I mentioned, specifically the "Connect via" is set to WAP Network.
YAY it worked. I'm only mildly techtarded! Thanks sooo much.
Glad you got it to work. SMS and MMS are totally different as far as how they connect on the cellular network. MMS is basically email using you cellphone number as an email address. You can also send to other email addresses using MMS.
T-mobile only uses WAP for their MMS connectivity, not the regulat data/internet. I am not sure if this is still true for 3G, but for Edge WAP is required.
Must be for 3G. I'm on it. Thanks again for rhe help and education. I appreciate it.
Hello all,
New here. Yesterday I made the mistake of trying out the lagfix thingy and bricked my phone. But managed to reflash back to stock and clockwork thanks to justanothercrowd on this forum.
After I did a reset/reflash - everything seems to work fine excepted that my phone no longer detects networks - even though it says T-Mobile, I can't make any call or have any 3G or EDGE network. So if anyone has any idea or point me to similar thread I'd greatly appreciated (yes, I've already done a few searches).
My phone: T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant - Stock ROM, Rooted, Clockwork
If you need more detail please let me know, thanks a bunch for any help
as far as I know, once the netwrk is detected, your APN settings should be added automaticaly and data should work... did you try to see if the APN settings are there and they are right?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I even manually go network Operators to select t-mobile, reboot, wiped the phone again just to be sure. It's still can't detect it.
Maybe I'm missing some sorts of package when I did a clean reflash back to the stock ROM?
go to Settings --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names and see if t-mobile is in there, and if it is, make sure the fields are correct (APN, MMSC, MCC, etc) and if T-Mobobile is not there, add it manually, see if that helps

You're right, the APN is empty... I guess I was just checking mobile networks. Can you post the settings? Otherwise I can go hunt around for one.
Thanks a bunch for your help!
Edit: I got it working! Thanks a lot! If anyone else needs the settings:
Name:T-Mobile
APN:epc.tmobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC:310
MNC:260
APN Type:Internet + MMS
glad you got it working... for other people wanting to add manualy, once you get to Access Point Names, click menu, New, and name it T-Mobile, on APN put epc.tmobile.com and leave everything else empty.... reboot the phone and the network will automaticaly fill the rest of the fields
Hi.
I've used many, many APN settings over the past 6 or so months, and on top of living in a valley and get really bad data inside my house my APN setting weren't helping matters I've came to realize. If I walk 2 or 3 doors up I get 5 bars and 3g or H getting over 5 MPS. Since I've used these settings, I always have at least between 1 and 3 bars in my house and constant Edge with 3G on and off. This is due to my new APN Settings. With ANY OTHER APN setting I used I would barely ever get a bar in my house and I had to end up putting money on my Fring account, and I tried Truphone too.. they both worked great but I don't want to pay an extra
$10 or $20 a month to make calls from home.With these new APN settings I don't need , (fring,skype,truphone ect..) anymore. Here are the settings if anyone wants them.. Remember, these are for the HTC HD2, running android, T mobile USA PERIOD.. Just Tmo US.. nowhere else..
Name T-Mobile US
APN epc.tmobile.com
Proxy <not set>
port <not set>
Username <not set>
Password <not set>
Serveer <not set>
MMSC http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

Authentication Type <not set>
APN type default,supl,mms

On your phone go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access point names. Once you are there you can edit an existing APN if there is one. If not, press Menu and then you can choose to add a new APN. After you enter all the info for your new APN, press Menu and then save. Go back to home screen, wait a while for your new settings to update and connect, and you should have data!
I keep having issues with mms, in wm i'm able to do it all with out issues. in android, froyosence 3.2, radio is 2.12.50.02_2, when i just input the apn settings given here i was able to receive a mms instantly, however about 2 min later i went to send one and it wont send says "unable to send message Generic Network Failure. What i'm curious about is if the android data plan will make any difference with this issue. it also seams that the issue is not the apn so much as it is mobile data drops connection, however internet browsing forces a connect but it does nothing for the mms.. receive or send. any clues on if switching data plans will fix this or what the issue i need to be looking at is to resolve this issue. thanks

Hmmm, that's a thought. But before you go and shell out the cash for an androiod data plan see if you can borrow a friends sim card that has an android plan and see it works.. better yet, my daughter has an android plan,, I'll use her sim card real fast later today and try it and let you know...If I forget please remind me..

Great Advice!! Walked me thru perfectly, and I don't even know what an APN is
Good Job
HTC desire Z - android 2.2 - Virtuous ROM.
I'm out in Lithuania and get prepaid internet service.
Unfortunately there is NO APN to be set for connection. Whatever I fill in APN field it just doesn't work.
Ont the other side it works well in my laptop modem or WM6 phone with settings for "Dynamic APN" or in case of WM6 if APN field is left blank it simply works like a charm.
The main problem could be that I can't set an EMPTY apn on android system.....
Have no idea what to do now. Maybe there is some special APN type to be set or some trick to leave APN blank or to set it to Dynamic....
By the way the ISP is Tele2.lt but the usual APNs doesn't work it only works if apn left blank.
Any idea is appreciated.
Thanks,
Shef
So I ported over my number from AT&T to Simplemobile for the 40 dollar monthly unlimited everything plan. I have everything working except data. I keep trying to change the APN but it's not working. Does anybody know exactly what settings I need to get data to work on the Samsung Focus? My phone is unlocked by the way. Thanks!

What exactly have you tried so far?
Thanks for the reply! Well I've tried using the Samsung Network Profile app, tried changing the APN by naming the APN "simple." I've also tried using the names simplemobile, Simple Mobile, but anyways its not working. Supposedly simple is supposed to work for the HD7, but it's not working for the focus

I wonder...
Do this: delete all APN you have manually entered.
Change the radio to World instead of North America in Settings/Applications/radio
Then, switch the profile to AT&T from Network profile, reset, then switch back to Simplemobile and reset again.
I hope this does the trick, if it doesn't you would need specific information from Simplemobile...
Type simple in both username and password. I figured it out by chance.
Thanks for the help, can you tell me exactly how you have your focus setup? I'm trying what you said and it isn't working. Do you have the samsung network app installed?
goto the APN settings..
under APN name use value " WWW" thats it.. save it.. restart the phone (if required).
So mine stopped working as well. I have an old Tmobile Dash and it works through that. I do have the Network profile installed as well as the Samsung tools. My focus is totally unlocked, but right now it makes no difference.
So, I deleted the APN and started from scratch. Network settings installed as well as Samsung tools with the 3G marker checked. Even though the 3G cannot work on Tmobile, when I enabled it and then typed in simple for APN, it works.
Hope this helps.
Please Help
Hey can you guys please explain how you got the data and MMS to work on your simple mobile unlocked Focus. I have the Network profile App, but cant find the Samsung tools app on the market place.
Also, what goes into the APN settings (Proxy server, username, etc)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
if in the us your apn (att) would be
APN = wap.cingular
USER NAME = [email protected]
PASSWORD = cingular1
I think that I have internet working on my Samsung Focus on Simple Mobile. I say 'think', because often when I try to open a website I am taken to the url androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html which displays a 503 error. I tested just now by turning off wi-fi, trying to open a web page over and over again. I got this URL and 503 error a few times and then a web page finally loaded. It's not terribly useful, but it occasionally works - so I'm assuming this is more a problem with the connection than with the settings. Sometimes the cell indicator flips between an E and a G. I don't know what the G means, it's not documented that I could find.
I cannot get MMS to work, and based on my research and some others have said this too, it cannot be made to work. Samsung has an app called "Network Profile" that will change the MMS settings for the Focus, but there is no option for Simple Mobile. Until Samsung updates the app for Simple Mobile, we are out of luck.
The settings I use to get data/internet to work on my Focus are:
Under: Settings - Cellular
Data connection: On
Data roaming options: Don't Roam
Network selection: Automatic
Edit/Create APN
APN: simple
User name: [blank]
Password: [blank]
Proxy server/URL: 216.155.165.50
Proxy port: 8080
Windows Phone 7 & Simple Mobile & Internet
The thing I think that is left out of most of the instructions is to go to the secret menu by going to the dialer and entering ##634# and then go to MMS and change the apn there to simple.
Now my Dell Venue Pro is on Simple Mobile and the Internet finally works!
How did you change you MMS settings in diagnostic mode? I can only see the code but cannot find a code to edit the mms or data settings.
I am still stuck even after adding simple apn

The reason most people leave that step out is because it is not a step they can follow. The original question was about the Focus, and the Focus doesn't let users specify the MMS settings. From what I've read, only the Dell Venue Pro gives users direct access to the MMS settings. Which is why it's the only WP7 phone that Simple Mobile officially supports for MMS.
Samsung has a network app for the Focus that allows you to pick a carrier and then it changes the settings as appropriate. Unfortunately, it doesn't support many carriers.
I'm considering making the switch to TMobile prepaid - TMobile shows up in the nework app along with AT&T and so should be supported.
UPDATE: Switched to TMobile. Using the "Network Profile" app set to automatic network profile changing = On and Active Profile = T-Moile USA, I received MMS messages right away. Will do internet testing later. For 10 bucks less a month I would've preferred to stay with Simple Mobile, but since Microsoft / Samsung lock the MMS settings down & Samsung hasn't updated their Network Profile app to support more carriers, I had to make the switch. Glad at least the mms piece is working.
I was able to successfully use both 3G data AND send/receive MMS with the following settings:
APN: simple
MMS:
MMS APC: simple
MMSC: h77p://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapeng (Replace sevens with "t"; new user controls...)
AUTH TYPE: None
All other fields are to be left blank.
As mentioned, these settings worked for me marvelously. ...For roughly ten minutes. Then the phone wouldn't wake up, I had to do a battery pull, and mms stopped working. When I go to check the mms settings in EM, it holds onto every value (including blank ones) save for the following:
MMS PORT: (blank)
AUTH TYPE: "None"
Whenever I select "Apply" to save settings, it always force resets those two values to the following:
MMS PORT: 80
AUTH TYPE: "PAP"
Hopefully this is all easy to understand. I've tried at length to search both xda and the world-wide-webz for an answer, but I'm coming up blank. I've always been able to figure this junk out for myself, but this is my first WP7 device, and I'm all kinds of 'tarded with it, haha.
You might want to enable the automatic sim settings. This setting is off by default due to samsung. I think the reason is to keep people on the same carrier that the phone was originally intended for use ie. samsung focus Att
1. Bring up diagnotics app ##634#
2. open diagnostics app located in your apps list (swipe left from start screen)
3. in the diagnostic app type 40*047#3
4. there will be a confimation prompt to confirm autosim detection
5. then the phone will restart and you should have MMS and cellular functionality and internet
This has helped my samsung focus from dropping in and out of my 3g connection...wonderful ...hope this works for you and confirm if it does work please.
I take no credit for this method and here is the original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241721
I got mine working without mms. Jailbroke the phone and followed the steps to enable internet connection sharing... that added samsung tools. I don't know what in the end made the difference but I was able to use network profile to tmobile and then add apn simple and it worked.
Since then I moved to straight talk .. att.mvno worked for them for apn but still no mms.
