Re: About to Purchase an XDA Exac: email setup w/ GPRS?

Hey folks...
I'm about to purchase an XDA Exec. I've seen most of my questions answered in various places on the net including this one.
The ONLY question I haven't seen addressed directly is the following:
I have a tmobile account which pushes my email to my phone. I understand that I insert my sim into the XDA Exec, but do I have to input any settings to grab my email from tmobile's servers so that it "lands" in my XDA?
Thanks in advance. I didnt see anything specific about this...

Yes you do. O2 sets up Exec to work with O2... so you need to get your settings for t-mobile to make email work.

Those were other comments that I commented out...
Thanks for the 411 and I appreciate the assistance as I am a novice at this.
1) Assuming I fresh and empty XDA and assuming that I start w/ the start button, where exactly do I apply these settings?
2) Are these also the settings for web surfing via gprs?
Thanks

1) Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Manage existing connections/add connection (in the top part) > select modem Cellular Line (GPRS,3G) > enter APN > Finish
2) yes

This is EXACTLY what I have done.
I then start pocket IE and get the following message:
"The current connection cannot be used for your request. Please end the current connection and try again."

Are you on the phone while you are trying to connect to GPRS? If you are this is why you are getting this message. I have no issues with my JasJar and GPRS. I am using the O2 rom which is much better than the Imate. I suggest hard booting your device, and not using any of the O2 garbage. Unlock the extended rom and just run the bluetooth patch and dialer cab. Then re install any apps you want. Have fun!

New Hero - no data connection?

I just bought a Hero (the Telus version, so I can use the AT&T 3G). The phone itself works fine but the data connection won't connect, it won't even connect to edge or anything. I looked through all the settings and couldn't find anywhere to adjust the settings, or an option for it to find the settings automatically. How do you set it up?

You need to add the AT+T APN settings, these are under settings>wireless controls>mobile network settings>access point names.

HD2 APN settings

Where do you add new APN settings? I went to all settings/connections/connections but don't see any place to insert all the APN settings..?
Original post:
HD2 noobie here. Have it unlocked on AT&T. Phone/SMS all work fine. I don't get any internet(mail, facebook, marketplace, etc.) unless I'm on wifi. I realize being on AT&T I can only get edge(which is fine). I've been on a tmobile phone(G1 on edge prior to getting this phone) since last year with no problems. I figured it was my sim card. I took my old G1 and put my sim in there, works no problems. Also put a different sim card under my account(my dads) in my HD2, same problem. I've narroed it down to the HD2 itself but I have no clue what could be keeping it from getting on edge/internet.
I get a 'Cannot COnnect'' error that says:
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufactuerer's documentation and try again.

Then after hitting 'Dismiss' I see:
Network problem
Make sure your Internet connection is active and check wether other applications that rely on the same connection are working

Any idea? Maybe someone with AT&T has seen this problem before.
Cheers

Your APN settings are wrong; if you have a TMOUS or Telstra HD2 it won't have AT&T settings on it, you need to create new connection profiles with AT&T settings.

I'm assuming it uses the same APN settings as my G1 on AT&T did? But where the heck do I enter new APN settings at on this phone?

I've looked everywhere for APN settings. Can anyone help please?

settings - all settings - connections - connections

I have tried that and saw NOTHING about APN settings.

updated title. still can't figure this out. surely there are AT&T users on here that had to do this

settings tab - menu - all settings - connections - connections - add a new modem connection - name - cellular line(gprs) then fill in the rest with the at&t access point name and such like.
Then, when you have the modem created, go back to the connections - connections screen, jump to advanced tab, click select networks - and set the top option to your at&t data you just set up.

Please help me set up the APN for t-zones and mms. I have a T-Mobile unlocked HD2 that I flashed to android. I went to settings-wireless & networks-mobile networks-access point names. When I hit Access Point Names, there are no options in it, just a black screen with APN on top so I cannot add anything. How do I set up my T-mobile MMS and t-zones settings? I looked everywhere and could not find a solution. Please help!!!!

Do you have Telkilla (sp) listed as an APN under settings? If so I've read where that can cause issues with MMS. If you do have that selected just delete it and use the T-Mobile ones.

T-Mobile Data
My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!

just go into Menu > Settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > access point names, then hit menu and "reset to default" and make sure that the T-Mobile Data is selected after. Then turn off the phone and turn it back on ... the MMS in and out will now start working.

Just got this from t-mobile customer service: go to Menu > Settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > access point names, then click on T-Mobile Data and make sure you have the entry for MMSC, "htt ://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" without the quotes. (Don't forget http instead of "htt" in the address. It didn't allow me to post otherwise)
Hope this helps!

I had the same problem. Was it "Generic Network Error"?. The reps at T-Mobile said it was due to the software version, which should have been upgraded to 2.2.1

i was looking for the solution for this too!

Please post questions in Q&A section. Thank you

did the steps covered in the posts and I still can't send. I entered the htt...address and even factory reset (because I wanted 7 screens). Nothing allows me to send MMS yet.
I have not been updated. Just got my phone yesterday.
EDIT:
I must point out that under T-Mobile Data I have the following showing 'not set':
Proxy
Port
Username
Password
Server
MMS Proxy
MMS Port
Authentication Type
I'm guessing that might be my issue? I don't know if these settings were to take place with the 2.2.1 update or if there is a way to get them all entered before that. I don't even know if there is supposed to be anything in there. I manually entered the address in the MMSC. If I didn't, that would say 'not set' as well.

All I did was reset to default and made sure T-Mobile Data was selected. Works like a charm (provided I have good network connection)
My default settings are:
Name: T-Mobile Data
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy through MMS Port: Not Set
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication Type: Not Set
APN type: default,supl,admin,dun

[Q] Roaming problem n9005

Hi, guys, I bought this phone from Italy while I was on vacation and now that I am back in Denmark, I have that R on my signal and my internet connection is slow, does someone know how can I change that? I have to flash another rom? Please help me, thank you

R means you are Roaming on another network (not on home network).
If it does not get back to your home network, try to select your home network by so to Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Network operators > 'Select automatically', OR 'Search networks' to manually select your home network.

What did you mean by DNS? If it was domain name server, so it is not related to the problem you are facing. Please follow the steps I have told you above.

Sorry I meant CSC, and about the steps, I don't know exactly what I should do with that apps, excuse but I never faced this problem and because of that I don't know how to proceed!

- How did you change the CSC? By using my app 'Phone INFO ★Samsung★' --> 'Other Tools' menu --> 'CSC Changer'? Or using another tool?
- Anyway, changing the CSC should not affect roaming behavior. Please follow the steps I have told you to select your home network (either auto or manually).
