[Q] Connection Set up Not Working!!! HELP!!! - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

I went through the flashing okay. And I was even able to unlock and do everything else including getting a code from MS. But when I get to the step that says run connection set up, it tells me that my carrier is not in the database and then tells me to manually set up my APN.
I know I did everything else okay, but I know I can't edit my HD2 registry settings because of this. And my market and xbox features don't work because of this issue.Please, if anyone has had this experience, or knows why I'm getting a "carrier not in database" when I run HTC Connection set-up. I would greatly appreciate it. I hope I'm not the only one having this issue.

Same problem here. Whats your carrier?
I already tried to add the keys manually using a registry editor. However it didn't work and the phone has locked itself again. Now I cannot even unlock it anymore using chevron (it says no connection) so I cannot launch any registry editor or try something else. Probably I have to flush it again. However what I still really need is a solution to this problem with the carrier.

I have solved the problem. My carrier is a small carrier from austria (bob). It seems that the HTC tool simply doesn't have any data for this carrier (the tool in win mobile 6.5 has known bob...). I used another sim from another austrian carrier (a1), whith this i was able to run the tool and add the registry data!

The Connection Setup didn't work for me too. Just ask your provider for the APN (Access Point Name) the Username and the Password and type it in Settings-network- add APN. Thats all.
For A1 /bob its:
APN: A1.net
User: [email protected]
Password: ppp

Yes, but entering the APN has not been the problem. I wanted to use the Connection Setup to add registry keys according to the WP7 guide. However, I already have solved this by using another sim of another carrier.
@oscar2010 did this work for u too?

HELP!! VZW XV6800 network data doesn't work

My Xv6800 data does not work. I've done everything that i found from the forums. Anyone have any advice? I did 2.40 olipro, then did stock rom, then DCD 3.2.6 and radio 3.42.50.
Did you load your carrier cab? I am assuming since you have an XV6800 that you Verizon, if so get the Verizon cab and install it.
Cabs are available here.

You will have to add the cell modem back in your self. When you flash with the custom rom there is no cellular modem added by default . It's documented some where (I had the same issue the first time I flashed). You have to go to connections click add then select cellular modem. Make sure you have the correct network settings (UN/PW) and your all good to go.

IS there any way to made a carrier cab? I do not see the one I need on the list. I have the original phone and I can pull it off from that phone.

I think you need to refer to the post by BillThyCat because your wrong about that. A cab file is all it takes.
The only reason you would need to load a cell modem driver is if you were going to have it connect to a different ISP that your default carrier data network, as far as I know, as I have never had to load any sort of driver to get my phone back on the data network after flashing.
If your carrier isn't listed, and you have the original phone still handy, I believe there is info you can copy from your EPST screens and put into your new phone that will reenable data. Tho this is something I have not had to do since I have a carrier cab available.
What carrier do you have? Maybe someone else here with the same carrier can help out.
You may need to recreate the dialup connection under network connections as well, with most carriers the dialup # is #777 and then you use a login and password that is unique to your account. It's possible your carrier help desk may be able to walk you thru how to reconfigure this. Depends on the carrier.
This doesn't require software, just some configuration on the phone.

HTC Magic with no data plan need help.

i just bought a htc Magic. I do not have a date plan!
How do i block all the applications that use the interent so i don't get charged for using data?
But
When i am in a wifi area i want to be able to use the applications like internet because it will be free because it is WIFI.
I have bin trying to research the htc magic... Not sure exactly what rooting is but i am interested in loading a custom driver or something along those lines. i want to be able to install apps on my memory card and remove stock apps that come with my "Rogers provider" and apps like "market"
Can anyone help me?
My HTC info
Model Number: HTC Magic
Build number: 3.05.631.7 CL#118917

The simple solution is to rename your default APN to something else.
For example:from default to default_off.
You can find this settings under settings->Wireles&Networks->Mobile Networks.
Or download application like "Apn switch" from market that wil do the same
Joze
there is no Wireles&Networks in the setting option there is Wireless controls.
Can some one help me? i want to restrict my apps on my HTC magic from using data from rogers. But if i am in wifi i don't care if they get information from that(like weather market etc.).
Also how do i delete stock apps that came on my HTC because i go into my all program and there is crappy rogers apps and some crappy HTC apps i can't delete
( i have bin getting texts fROM rogers saying that i am trying to use data)
please can some one help me. If i need a custom rom i will do that if necessary.( i like that stock rom that came with my HTC tho)
Well, have you looked in there for mobile networks and APNs or Access point names?
I have Android 2.1 installed and so I have diferent settings menu.
ok i found something that says APN i typed in default_off and saved it. ( before it said something with rogers name in it)
So now my phone woun'r try and use data?
Actualy you should have changed APN type not APN name from default to something else.
Sorry I was not clear anough.
Yes changing the name does nothing, you will need to either delete the APN settings called Rogers or Rogers MMS and/or blank all the settings in the Rogers APN.
Custom ROM's are not always needed to install apps from the sdcard. Just install Astro File Manager from the Market (free) then go to the root of your sdcard and click on the app/apk you have on your sdcard and allow it to install.
Also do not delete the Market that it used to get the apps you want using wifi unless you are downloading the apk and putting them on your sdcard to install.
You need to edit the APN and change the APN address that says something like "rogers-core-appl1.apn" to something else. Problem is, I'm pretty sure this will get repopulated on reboot.
Why not just call Rogers and have them block ALL mobile data on your account, then you have no worries.
waaaaaait a minute.
correct me if im wrong but isnt this a simple way of doing this:
settings --> wireless controls --> uncheck mobile network
for me (running official rogers 1.5 rom with sense UI update), this turns off all data services and maintains voice functionality.
when i turn on wifi and connect to a wifi network, my data services are good to know as they automatically use the wifi connection.
shouldnt this do the trick? or do not all ROMs have the setting above that i mentioned?
i wasn't able to go into Access Point names and delete Rogers but i went in and changed APN and APN address and changed it to default_off. But then i changed MMSC: "i'm not able to show you the adress" to blank. After i did that it let me delete the hole access point thanks everyone i think its going to work now haven't bin getting any e-mails from rogers.
Yea ill try asking them to block ALL mobile data to my account. But not sure if they will because they normally don't sell smart phones without a data plan.
Yea i all ready downloaded and installed astro file manager. Ill just load up apps from the pc because i think market uses mobile data because when i go to use it it says "Background data disabled"... And I'm not sure if i should enable it.
thanks everyone think it's all good now
"background data" what dose that mean? dose it mean mobile data usage or dose it just mean programs running in the background
Apps running in the background is what android does anyway. "Background data" is exactly what it says "data" that happens in the "background"(IE: when you exit the app). "Data" being information that transfers over the mobile data network.
Edit: On my MT3G on T-Mobile, changing the APN so that it's invalid (example, my APN is epc.tmobile.com I simply took out the periods) disables the data connection. It was not corrected by a reboot. However, I'm on Cyanogenmod 5.0.7 test5, not a default rom.
I'm a little confused. should i enable "background data"?
But keep in mined i don't want to use mobile data.. i only use wifi

[Q] black screen in APN settings

Hello, from some time now i'm experiencing this problem.
I have no APN settings in the APN screen. It's all black and i have to manually input them all the time i change to a new ROM.
Can you help me to solve thi issue please?
Did you ran Market Enabler? If you did, then every time you change (fake) the provider, the APN setting will be refreshed following the new provider and you'd have to re-enter your provider's APN parameter.
Well, that's how I experience it on mine.
No i have a stock shui8 1.4b rom. no changes. the problem is that there are no APN at all.
So when the phone connect to my operator the system automatically didnt show me any pre
setted APN (web, mms, wap etc)
It just give a black screen and i have to add all of them manually
I encounter similar setback during the earlier batch of builds. This is common, as builder need to compile a complete apns-conf.xml (Build-time APN configuration) which is to be loaded during boot.
Try finding a complete apns-conf.xml and copy it to /system/etc/ folder. Follow this thread for further information.

Do the following Steps:
Go into Settings
Select Cellular
At the bottom screen select "add apn"
Type "wap.cingular" in the APN field
Press the check sign to save.
Soft reset your phone and you should have data access
Also make sure you have "Data connection" On

I have the exact same issue. Down to even the same radio. Has this issue been resolved with the APN? I have no problem with data just MMS. I can neither send nor receive.
I tried:
wap.cingular alone and with the [email protected] CINGULAR1 username and password combination
proxy
ism.cingular
isp.cingular
I checked my girlfriends Samsung WinPhone 7 config on AT&T and it lists no APN settings at all yet MMS works without issue.
I am at a road block here and MMS is something I use for work almost daily. I would really hate o have to go back to WinMo 6.5.
Thanks for your time everyone,
Mike

Always use Connection Setup when setting after a hard reset or new flash. Do manual setup if no other work around. The new ROM's have a new database of carrier settings to automate connection setups.

[Q] Help! Problem with mms with vodafone Italy

Hello, I have a problem with the mms with my operator vodafone Italy, I've tried a lot of thing, I have debranded the lg (becouse it was on AT&T), and I did the manual configuration with MFG, first disabling ADC, then serching manually for xml file in ''set Network Profile'', but nothing seems to work.
when I tap on _Prov_vdf_IT_222_10_eng.xml I receive this answer
''FAILED
setting was failed (access denied or invalid argument)''
I have no more idea how to enable mms.. i've tried alone but nothing work.. i need help^^
thanks u and sry for my english, i'm a really ignorant italian^^
hey same problem here...i'm italian too and can't figure it out how to make mms work with tim italy...get your same error message "failed"...that worries me a lot =( what about trying to contact lg usa customer support? perhaps thay have some tricks or special codes to enable these xml...
Do u speak about the code to unlock the phone? I've brought that to activate the phone for the first time with european carrier, but it don't work.
If u try with the postemobile xml it works.. it would be a problem with the vodafone italy xml.
Beggy have u try with the LG configurator for TIM? The app seems to support it
You can change this settings from the registry using the MFG app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16363034&postcount=3
That worked for me... I also have an AT&T phone but I'm in Mexico so I'm not 100% sure it will work for yours
if you need more help or instructions on how to get to the registry or something else just ask =)
i've already tried with the network configuration app, but it doesn't work...i would try to hard reset the phone and see what happens...because i spoke with TIM customer care and they said that i have to reset the phone, and the first time i will boot the phone will automatically get the right settings for mms...it's sim based as they say, if the first time the phone was booted with an at&t sim, phone would set at&t settings...so if i reset it and boot with my tim sim, it should configure tim settings...dunno but is worth a try
I've tried that, but always the same problem. In addition I can't install the xap, it requires an HTC Phone
