Hey guys i recently put touch it 4.4 on my wing and its pretty cool so far, but since i installed it im no longer to acess my Tmobile data connection. which of course means no internet or IMs!
Can anyone help me out i searched around a bit but cant find exactly how to change the settings to get things working again.
so if anyone could-
1) tell me where and which settings i need to edit
and
2) what the the tmobile settings i put into there
thanks for anyone who can help me
also: data connection under my comm manager is greyed out
There is a network wizard cab floating around here. Install that on your phone and select your service provider. Other than that you can create a GPRS connection. Go to settings, connections, add new connection. Name it whatever, DATA works, and accesspoint name is wap.voicestream.com through Cellular GPRS.
Look around, there is alot on this..
awesome thanks for the reply
had it preinstalled with the touch it rom actually, so all is now good!
Hi,
There's a lot of people asking how can I disable my data connection, but keep MMS capabilities, and the short answer has generally been "you can't"
They're wrong.
YOU CAN....!
This works for me...
1. Keep all your data connections to their maufacturer default - whatever they happen to be.
2. Go to Settings \ Connections \ Advanced TAB
3. Select Networks
4. Change "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using" to My Home Network (this is your WiFi connection)
5. Hit Edit, then go to the Proxy Settings TAB
6. This is the most important part - Tick: "This network connects to the internet"
7. Hit ok and you're done...
Trust me, this works. I had my set up like this for a while and never had any problem - I could send and recieve MMS and would only connect to WiFi for data (or via ActiveSync)
The other day, I re-flashed my device, and found that today I was somehow connected to a data download (had been for 90 long and expensive minutes)
I finally narrowed it down to step 6 and now the problem is gone...!
Try it for yourself - follow my settings, then try to connect to the internet - it won't work... now try to send an MMS to yourself - not only will it send, but you will also receive it back...
I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me...
Let me know if you do or don't have any success this way...
Cheers
BTW - if you find it's not working, repeat steps 4 to 5 with all your data connections, but make sure step 6 is un-ticked...
or use nodata
head over to modaco.com and search for nodate
Thanks so much! Seems to work perfectly so far. I was looking for this the other day and gave up. Just randomly decided to look in the General discussion area, lucky me
This will not work on the default VZW rom.
Verizon has an app that will go and change the data settings EVERY time you go and reset your phone. This really ticks me off because I have to have my data totally disabled.
If there was an app that changed the default connection every time the phone started up, there may be hope for us pissed off Verizon suckers....

Flash a new ROM...
Sounds to me line Verizon have a vested interest in you downloading data...
Have you tried Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 (or NoData - as mentioned above) for permenantly switching these off... Might be what you need
SBSH PhoneWeaver (which isn't free) can be used to set profiles, including the defualt data connection, which will do this after a soft reset. Download a trial and see if it works...
I'm not interested in flashing a new rom. (I've already done a more thorough version of your hack to a cooked rom.) I'm on a Sprint Touch Pro and love the fast Verizon Manila (I've searched forever and there is no cab or theme ).
However I might end up calling up Visual Studio and coding something to fix this pain in the neck problem! I know it happens in a few custom roms too.
Thanks, I was looking for this option for a while now but I couldn't find it myself.
thx a lot, just caught mine data connected this morning for 15 mn again, right after I was to far from my wifi !
crazy phone !! but we still love it
Ok, I prolly worked myself in to some troubles. The htc hero was launched 2 days ago in netherlands...but was delayed in belgium for another week.
This for the youtube application that cannot exist on the htc hero for Belgium.
So I just went to netherland and bought a htc hero with the youtube application.
After playing with the htc hero I marked a quite big problem
1) I cannot connect to my google email.
With that I cannot connect to the andriod market for apps etc...
Could this be because I'm using my phone in Belgium? Where actually you should have a other phone? I remember reading something about regioblock?
Someone with info/solutions?
I've got the same problem with my Dutch Hero, but I live in the Netherlands (Vodafone NL)
edit : Tried to add hotmail manually (true email apps) works
edit : tried to add gmail manually (true email apps) works!
connecting before market...fails
check in settings > wireless > mobile networks > access point names
select the one for your network and check to make sure there is no proxy listed.
make sure it is just PROXY that you delete, and not MMS PROXY, as otherwise your MMS will stop working.
hopefully that will help.
I get the feeling that some of this stufff i blocked by the network proxies the same as MSN and youtube are blocked by proxies on WinMo handsets.

No I saw that more ppl have this problem.
It's not connecting using UMTS or WiFi, so it's not a network problem, it's a Hero problem.

Their was only the base mobile internet (gprs.base.be) and base MMS.
The base mobile internet was not marked on,so I did that but stil not working...
Just reset your phone to fabric settings and fill in your gmail account when the phone bootes (in the phone setup wizard) and everything will work fine.
Shut down the phone and press home button + back button + power button to start the reset, follow the screen for insructions.
They told me you have to have connection true 3g with your sim card...
To make the first connection you need this and no wifi...
I copy from the android forum :
I'll say it again.
You CAN'T set up Google Sync through an unprovisioned data package.
Now I though you could use wifi to set it up but you can't. You HAVE to set up Google Sync through 3G and it has to be through a Mobile Internet add-on!
Once set up you can use wifi/2g/3g/hsdpa
I know it doesnt make any sense but Google Sync doesn't use WiFi for the first set up and the Service Provider blocks Google Unless you use one of their data tariffs... Really Google should be provisioned to set up through wifi but probably part of this anti piracy malarky...
Yet again awsome phone, shockingly bad service providers.
Just wait till the data is provisioned and restart your phone. No luck then reset to factory defaults and try again.
(I had to do the same thing)
I had problems with connecting to Market then I did a hard reset on the phone and setup google account during initial wizard and it worked ok.
If your 3g network has restrictions you can always try wi-fi at your local hotspot
I still can't get wifi to provide a data connection, has to bephone network. Have tried several factory reboots :-(
if you are willing to experiment you could maybe flash your hero with WWE R3 rom release (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533808)
However, be prepared to accept the fact that USB might not work until newer edition of ROM is available
not sure i believe that, as i have one at work and have signed in multiple times to google after a hard reset without a sim even being in the phone!
It even asks you if you want to use Wifi during the intial start up process, so it definitely CAN use the wifi for the initial set up, or at least the one we have here can!
just received hero and this misfunctionality is really irritating.
Does anybody knows how to reinstall this applications new?
it should be gmail, market and gtalk.
thanks in advance-
very odd.
Had a friend in NL that had this problem, but when we looked, it turned out that only the Vodafone MMS APNs had been set up (or were the only ones visible) and creating one manualy fixed the problem. He didn't have WiFi to try with at the time.
it was very strange as again, he could browse over 3G!
just checked....the settings are OK: Vodafone IT, but still can not get in.
tried also without a sim, only wifi, same result no connection...
should i really reset it? any other ideas?
thx in advance
I did the reset....
I made sure I was directly at my wifi spot...connected to gmail went ok...market now works perfectly...
Strange tho...
could there be some sort of automatic check in with the google servers the first time the handset is ever turned on? maybe if that fails, it could be linked?
reset, first config done, now it works great, some things are real mistery....
thanks to all
hi guys
i dont know if this the right pleace to ask but
does the hero have AUTO SETUP CONNECTION ??
that when you first time put a sim card or go to other network the phone auto setup your data connection . like htc diamond
I guess the network branded ones may not, but the unbranded one i have been using at work certainly does.
Hi, I rooted my Legend over the weekend and installed the Cyanogen7 mod for 2.3. I didn't notice the lack of data connection because I was connected via wireless the whole time. I did plug in the information from my carrier in regards to the APN. The thing still won't work, won't connect to the internet at all, citing a lack of a data connection in all apps.
I looked all over the net for a fix, tried a number, nothing worked. Short of contacting my carrier and having them resend me the same APN details, is there any other fix?
Thanks!
If you already put in the correct APN details. Check the Proxy settings. It can cause problem when turn on/off. I had the same problem with CM 6, turn off the proxy and everything is green again.
called the vodafone people and fixed it. the info they have up on their website is wrong, the apn was supposed to be .com, not .ro.
oh well..
Hello.
I came from a NOKIA 5800 XPRESS MUSIC Symbian smartphone, where my packet data connection settings were ready to go by default, so I didn't have to set up manually the 2G/EDGE internet connection from my provider.
But...
After buying my SG3 five days ago, I was going to continue to use the sim card from my Nokia phone i.e. use my unlimited 2G/EDGE internet connection to use it where there's no wifi, like to browse apps, get enlightened by the xda-development, chat in gtalk and be allways synchronised.
So.
First I requested a configuration message (CM) from my operator and was all happy (after installing the CM) about the connection notification that I can use packet data, so I opened the gtalk app to share my experience with my buddies, but there was not a chance to connect via packet data.
I tried to reinstall the CM, but nothig happened, only where it was working was the browser. In my APN (access point name) settings were wap and mms profiles due to CM install, but no internet, even after installing another CM with given APN and AP usage only.
When my frustration level was high enough, I deleted all the CMs and APs. Than an idea poped in my mind, to manually create a 2G/EDGE AP, filled with the informations about the internet connection given by my provider inside Froyo's wireless settings.
Simple enough?
...well it worked!!!
From that moment i did not encounter any problems with the 2G/EDGE internet connection.
It's like being on wifi, with just the speed of 2G connection. ;-)
Le a kalappal - Thanks to...

Ps. : Very stable.
Edit: here's a very helpful post, where's the global apn settings file which I am using, since it is included in korillos 2.2 Rom.
It includes the internet ( 2G, EDGE, 3G, HDSPA, etc.) and mms settings as well.
Thanks to madhuranand007.

I joined as this is the exact same problem I am having. TMUS, have data plan.
I had a C6 Nokia, and it had quite a few categories to enter info. Like Packet Data. The Apollo doesn't.
Phone is working fine - even have Skype working.
Problem is MMS/photo compression and slideshow. I've got it halfway fixed - I can see the images, but they are smaller than I'd like. There is no darn setting for messaging in the Android. A lot say that you can't use 2G/Edge/Gprs to send mms.
The C6 did it with no problem, I've seen complaints from other phone and carrier users, so I'm suspecting it's Samsung/Android. I have a TTW plan, so the phone should be covered. I use more wifi at home than data, except for the mms. And I don't send many of those.
Thinking of rooting the phone - reading everything and proceeding cautiously.
I would like to get all problems solved before I do anything.
I have internet, but no place to enter wap. They were 2 different settings on the Nokia C6
Thanks,
Zuben
Basically the bottom line is, if you don't get your APN settings automatically find out the name of your mobile service provider and google: X apn settings android
X being your service provider
I did. Trouble is, there were 2 settings in Symbian. One for internet which was epc
and one for data, which was wap.voicestream. That came from the carrier.
I have no place in Android to enter the one for data only. It doesn't give me the choice.
