I just got a T-Mobile MyTouch 4G (Which is an amazing phone btw) and I noticed it doesn't like to allow internet use over EDGE service. Unless I'm connected to the HSPDA/HSPDA+ network (which is still a bit spotty...) I can't use data. My old phone (Touch Pro 2) had this problem too, but only when tethering so it wasn't a big deal.
How can I get the phone to allow data connections over EDGE networks? Is there a workaround for this? I have searched but I haven't found any conclusive solution yet.

Hello. I got a T-Mobile Dash, and I went and unlocked it. I'm wondering if there's some way to pull up Cellular Video on it? I'm pretty sure I've got the GPRS settings correct, and the proxy configured too, but when I go to cingularvideo.cingular.com/msdp, my phone can't find it (unless I'm on WiFi, where I get the "you need 3G to access this" page). When I'm on EDGE or WiFi, I can't find device.home either (but this isn't really important).
Any hope?
As above really. I have an unlocked Orange M700/Trinity and when I put my 3 SIM in it works when in 3G coverage but not in 2G. I presume this is something to do with it handing over to the Orange network for the 2G signal. I fancy buying the Touch Plus but it's only worth it if I can use it on 3 once unlocked.
Thanks

I use the HTC Touch Dual without any problems on the 3UK network. The only problem I have though is that the data connection seems a bit flakey when it drops down onto 2G (i.e. roaming onto Orange). Therefore I keep it locked to 3G only.
I bought a Htc Verizon Trophy and had it factory unlocked by Verizon . Popped in my AT&T sim card and it only gets edge and not 3G . I performed several hard resets and entered the correct APN settings and still no 3G. T-mobile sim card works also but edge is expected. Voice and Internet work great but I was under the impression that it was dual mode and has the AT&T 3G radios and should work on 3G.
Any suggestions or pointers on getting the 3G working?
Thanks
Download "HTC Connection Setup" under the HTC apps in the Market. Select AT&T from the settings and it should help you out.
Also, make sure your AT&T area offers 3G coverage. In my area of Northwest PA, 3G coverage is almost none existent. Basically, if your sim allowed 3G on another phone before, it should be okay (or check AT&T coverage map).
Be careful, I used this program to set my Verizon settings and now I can't get data on Verizon anymore. . Guess that's what I get for playing around.

Did you restore your trophy to a backup from before you used HTC connection setup? I just did the interop unlock for my trophy as well and I cant get 3G data back. Im hoping restoring the phone to an old backup will fix the problem. Verizon better not have somehow blocked our phones from getting 3G!
Hi guys,
Was wondering if you could help with something.
I am in Bolivia at the moment and working out in a remote town with little WiFi.
The phone network ENTEL here sells '4G' dongles (hdpsa+ hupsa actually)* with unlimited data for no money at all so I picked one up. Plugged it into a computer, installed the software and it connected and works great.
However when I tried to put the SIM from my dongle in my Galaxy S2 it will not work. Just says emergency calls only and does not seem to connect to anything. I have enabled packet data and apn settings seem present.
With the same phone as a test I took a normal ENTEL sim card (not from dongle) and this connected to network and EDGE data and I was able to access websites etc over mobile internet no worries (although it costs a lot).
I'm sure none of you will be familiar with the Bolivia phone networks but perhaps on basic principals you can help. IE why doesn't my dongle simcard work in my phone for data?
Thanks so much in advance.

If it's.like it is here in Costa Rica then the SIM cards used for the data dongles are coded for just that and can't be used in phones... Mainly because usage plans.are different they won't allow anyone to use it for data on phones whose plans data plans are twice as much.
Now if that's not the case there then it's probably hardware related such as in frequencies... The dongle SIM may be for a different radio band than what you're phone can pick up
My home 3g wifi modem stopped working 6 months ago so I now use my old galaxy s as the modem. The sim is data only that's meant for a dongle / pocket wifi but it works fine. Just had to enter the virgin broadband apn and that was it. The sim is a 3g sim and the phone is unlocked.
Never tried a 4g sim though. Very good chance the 4g uses a different network frequency than the phone supports. But I would think a 4g sim should still connect to the 3g/H/Edge frequencies.

Hi everyone,
I'm on T-Mobile and ever since yesterday I have been unable to connect to LTE/4G/Edge.
The icon keeps appearing and dissapearing constantly, and it's not my area because I am now in the university and still doesn't catch mobile internet. All other people I know have internet in their phones too.
I don't know if this is a hardware issue (but possibly not because I removed the sim and used in another phone), or if T-Mobile just blocked my data.
I have the unlimited LTE plan
Here is a video of the issue:
