I downloaded the T-Mobile (NL) application for PPC2002 ("T-Mobile GPRS Connect") which should take care of the GPRS connections, but it does not work. It keeps complaining about not able to open the modem connection (I'm using the Cellular Line modem): "Can not find the name of the serial port".
Anybody any ideas?
It is a nice utility which displays the speed, send/received bytes and connection time, but useless sofar...

hey marco,
i bought a t-mobile pocket pc in the US and unlocked it. With my vodafone sim i now can do everythinh with the device. So I know how to make a GPRS connection to Vodafone, but don't know the settings for t-mobile.
A few days ago I also tried to install t-mobile app. but it sucks. I suggest you try to find out the correct settings with t-mobile nl to make a descent GPRS setting and not use the t-mobile application

hi guys was wondering the above? i heard its quite difficult to get the EDGE/gprs working on this phone in india.
Thanks!
No. Getting EDGE to work is as simple as in any other country. Just find out APN settings of your provider and add them from settings.
thank u so much i will do so!
Im sorry for being daft but when u say sim unlocked,does it mean it will work on any network in the world? Or just diff networks in the country u bought it in? Im askin cause im in india and i hope it works here

I am using Magic with Airtel. EDGE is not a problem works fine, I am on weekly unlimited plan.
great! i also figured out the apn setting using it with vodafone,although vodafone doesnt have any unlimited data packages in india
Edge/gprs settings
Can you write the apn settings of vodaphone as you have set on your phone here.
Thanks.
www
rest is default
Hi,
I have problem in accessing the secure sites using the normal vodafone GPRS connection wit the APN "portalnmms" None of the "https" sites will open nor can I use the active sync or other push emails.
I tried to create a new APN with "www" but once I selected it as the default APN, my GPRS stopped working. I have not changed any other settings. Please could anyone help.
Thanks,

Gprs settings not recieving from airtel.
I am using Airtel as it Is..... can someone tell me what settings work on my stock HTC magic phone. I have Airtel live activated. And I was very able to browse and log in to my mails etc. (The customer care guy was surprised that I had been able to access mails on Airtel, however I dont y he felt so). But when I went on roaming I was not able to access my mails but only cue browse the net. Then I tried resetting my fone to factory settings losing the Airtel live settings. Then called up Airtel and asked to send the settings, BUT THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO SEND THE SETTINGS TO MY CELL AS I WAS IN ROAMING.
Then even when I came back to local, they were not able to send me the gprs/mobile office settings to my magic. Any idea guys ......?
not able to avail 100MB plan from airtel
After repeatedly making requests to airtel customer care, I am not able to get the free 100 MB plan, which comes with new Airtel magic, activated on my handset.
It seems that Airtel is not yet technically equipped to support android handsets.
I am using AirtelLive and paying 100Rs/month for usage
Even I am also facing the same problem. SSL sites not opening up. Not able to access gmail/gtalk/Android Market on my GPRS connection. Have a Vodafone connection.
Tried the "www" APN settings thing.
Didn't work.
Any breakthrough so far?
After going through a few forums, I guess its a problem with the APN. Many people suggest clearing the proxy and the port fields. I tried that. But then, my EDGE connection was lost and I couldn't connect to the net. Following are the current APN settings that I am using:
Name: Vodafone live
APN : portalnmms
Proxy: 10.10.1.100
Port : 9401
MCC : 404
MNC : 27
APN type: default
If anyone is using any other settings on Vodafone, Do inform.

Well I have magic (not bought from airtel, but imported from TW), I have taken 399 gprs plan and every thing works fine. I sync exchange mail, gmail, yahoo mail, browse including secure sites. No problems at all.
1) You need to get mobile office GPRS plan activated on your number
2) APN settings are simple -> Set APN to airtelgprs.com and leave all other settings as is and set APN type to default, if your mobile office is activated you can see all you data stuff working.
Update: I have this from June 09 even before HTC launched Magic with Airtel

APN issue
I flashed my HTC Magic to Amon Ra's 1.6 ROM. Everything works perfectly except gprs. The baffling thing is that when I put in some random settings for the APN, they get saved, of course it doesn't work, but when I add the correct settings, the new APN doesn't appear in the list at all and the gprs does not work. I am using a vodafone connection. Any ideas?

Currently experiencing "hiccup" in internet/data experience with my focus. If phone is not in 3G+ mode, i get no data.
Can someone confirm my theory;
Situation:
Purchased Samsung Focus from rogers, thus rogers network profile (preset network setting for data usage such as MMS or internet).
Unlocked and stuck in bell SIM. can send/recieve calls, and txts, use data (internet, marketplace, weather updates, etc) if phone is in 3G+ mode (seen by tapping near top of screen). Can not use MMS
Presumable:
1)Focus was initially programmed to work on Rogers network.
2)Focus/Rogers, have a GPRS & EDGE capability
Theory:
Focus is programmed to use 3G radio for data (which is more widely accessible, & consumes less power), until detects 3G+/HSPA network and switch to that HSPA radio.
Since bell does not have a GPRS or EGDE network, when phone tries to receive data through 3G radio, it get nothing because no GPRS or EGDE network.
Is this possible, can phones change network they're using?
Theorized Solution:?????
Since Bell has 3G+ network,and they offer LG quantum. Could LG quantum be initially programmed to only use 3G+/HSPA, therefore anytime data is requested it activates the 3G+ radio.
If this is true of the LG quantum, could this be programmed into the Focus as well.
Thus i ask the community is this possible and how to implement solution?????
Sidenote:
I know the easiest solution would be to change to Rogers, however, Canadian provider fees are ridiculous (i'd be incurring early cancellation fee + a new restrictive costly plan from rogers) and there are others which don't have a choice but to use bell, and should have the freedom to choose a device of there choice with a little work.
I'm hitting a similar issue on Fido. The cell side works, and data only works if I enable data roaming. I downloaded the Network Profile app, but it won't let me get anything as it tells me "The application can't be launched with your mobile operator."

I think in your case it's just a matter of adding a APN.
Follow the instruction in the follow thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843517
a search for "FIDO APN" on google, and i found this;
FIDO
Name: fido internet
APN: internet.fido.ca
Username: fido
Password: fido
APN Type: default
Leave All other Settings Blank
MMS
Name: fido mms
APN: mms.fido.ca
MMSC: http://mms.fido.ca
MMS Proxy: 205.151.011.013
APN Type: mms
Leave All other Settings Blank
That should get your data working, and you wont be incurring roaming charges.
Other then that, let me know if your having a similar issue to above, i don't think you should as FIDO is a pure GSM network from day one so it'll have GPRS/EDGE/HSPA
MMS
Interesting the various issues people are having with connecting to different networks...doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all issue/solution.
In my case, I got a new Rogers sim card (unlocked AT&T branded Focus from Expansys), put it in, updated my APN info, and I have voice and data.
BUT, I have no texting/messaging ability! I know others have listed the MMS settings for Rogers, but the Focus seems to only allow adding *one* APN setting. No clue where the MMS settings can be applied.
Other friends who have Rogers sims were able to put it in their Focus and had no problems at all with texting, internet, etc.
Anyone have thoughts on this issue, please respond.

The instructions appear to be for the LG device, not the Samsung Focus. The code doesn't get me into any factory menu. The diagnostics screen just sits when I type in the code. I downloaded the Network Profile app but it errors out saying "The application can't be launched with your mobile operator".
Facepalm
OMG, I'm an idiot!
So apparently Rogers requires 1+area code for sending texts? Telus didn't...*sigh*...
So yes, I have texting ability (haven't tried MMS though).
Samsung's response:

Now that this issue got publicity lets see how long they keep up this attitude?
UPDATE:
COuld it be MS to the rescue?
"Microsoft is aware of the problem and it has been escalated."

Not much to add other than I'm in the same situation as reaver_shadow. Bought from Rogers, unlocked it and put in Bell SIM card. Everything works except MMS and data if not on 3G+ (will work when '3G' is displayed, but I guess it's borderline). Tried playing with option *#2263# in Samsung Diagnosis (##634# + Dial), but does not fix the issue. Hoping the Network Profile will become available for changing. Using the Network Profile app from Samsung does not work. Says it does not work with my provider. Says active profile is 'Rogers'.
Update:
Probably just lucky, but I have had a steady connection since this morning. I set option 2-7 under Diagnosis option *#2263# (use all WCDMA Band). What maybe did the trick is enabling Roaming, as mentioned by @colinbo. My apn is set to pda.bell.ca.
Update:
Nope, just luck. :-(
Have you tried this:

That's how I got data working on SaskTel. Since we're using similiar technologies, it may work for you as well.
That's great!! I'll give it a try. Never thought about pressing the 'back' button. I should know next week if this solves it.
Hi,
I bought a Droid Pro in the US, unlocked it and I am now using it in Switzerland with my local Swisscom GSM SIM.
I can't send nor receive MMS.
I have setup APNs correctly for internet (works) and for mms. When I look at the message details on the MMS I try to send, I see "Cause code: National access coverage not available". I have tried with Handcent and ChompSMS, but still doesn't work as I guess they rely on native messaging app to send MMS. Unfortunately CompSMS doesn't support sending MMS through their network.
Any ideas on this could be fixed? Any workaround?
Thanks
Happy Holidays
Fred
Make sure you entered the settings exactly and try again. If you are using a GSM or HSPA network you should disable global mode and put the phone into GSM/UMTS mode only.
@Class: thank you for your response. I confirm the Network Mode is set to GSM/UMTS and that the APN parameters are correct for Swisscom.
What is interesting is that in settings->About Phone->Status->My phone number I see the US phone number that I got when the phone was activated with a Verizon prepaid plan.
Anybody is able to send/receive MMS on GSM, with or without prior US activation on Verizon?
Thanks

I also bought from the US and activated, and unlocked in Kuwait on a Kuwaiti SIM card. I confirm not having any data connection whatsoever! I've defined the APN settings correctly (works on a Samsung Spica & A Motorola Defy) with no luck.
Could you please check for me (*#*#4636#*#* --> Phone Info --> Menu --> Select radio band) what are the radio bands available for you to choose from?
I'm also on Swisscom and my MMS doesn't work either.
Did you set up two APN's, one for GPRS and one for MMS?
What happens if you send a MMS to yourself? I just get the SMS from Swisscom, that i received a MMS and i should look it up in the internet.
@rafeee2: I also see "USA Band", but if I click on it I loose connectivity to Swisscom and have to do factory reset to re-connect...
@ThiloH: I can't even send MMS. I get "National access coverage not available", both before and after factory reset. I tried factory reset as I thought the MMS problem could be related to the fact that my phone was initially activated on Verizon.
I heard on another forum that flashing with the newly released SBF solved the issue to one guy. If I flash, will I need to re-activate via Verizon?
My understanding is that you don't need to re-activate unless you want to use the phone in the US with Verizon/CDMA. I can still use my unlocked phone on GSM with my Swisscom SIM after a factory reset. I guess that flashing with the new SBF will have the same effect.

i can confirm that, i flashed yesterday with the SBF-File and the Verizon-Activation showed up, but i could skip it and it worked after it.
OK so I SBFd yesterday. Is it normal to have all you contacts, apps & widgets intact afterwards? The only thing that changed was that the network mode changes from GSM/UMTS to Global, and still no data.
As far as i know, the data you have on the SD-Card doesn't get removed when flashing.

You've already SBFed, what did you find after the phone restarted? What I'm saying is that EVERYTHING was intact, as if nothing has happened at ALL.
I did a factory reset before SBF, but after it it was like fresh out of the box.
Hmmm.. So we're still stuck here then. I think that unless the "select radio" menu shows other bands, we won't get data.
mmmmh. I also have only "USA Band" listed in there but when I click it stops working here in Europe and I need to factory reset. So I guess the hardware capabilities of the phone are different from what you can select in this test application.
What do you see in the "GSM disconnects" section of *#*#4636#*#* --> Phone Info ?

It's always DcActivatingState this or DcActivatingState that, and after some time it turns into:
DcInactiveState disconnected with last try at XX:XX fail because Unknown Data Error
What's an unknown data error supposed to be!
I just got my Droid Pro and can receive MMSes here in Australia, but can't send. I get either the National access coverage not available or service not activated messages.
It happens on both Telstra and Virgin. I can receive MMSes on both networks, just can't send.
I tried sending a short text message as an MMS and that won't go through either, so it isn't a size problem. Flight mode on/off doesn't help, and the phone is already in UMTS mode only with wifi off.
Has anyone found a solution?

Hello guys,
I have a LG E900 unlocked from Telefonica Spain and I live in Lima - Perú (southamerica), I have problems with MMS and 3G network, I can navigate on internet by EDGE but the speed is terrible.
On MFG application I can't find my mobile operator and I can't set up the network profile because my operator doesn't appear in the list
I have read that if I make a hard reset on the phone, in the first boot the Phone catch the network parameters (including MMS and 3G) from the carrier (from my SIM carrier), it's true?
Or are there any way to modify manually the xml network configuration file in order to set the correct parameters in all the fields?
I will really appreciate your help.
Thank you
All you need to do is set ADC on, and soft reset, then you are good to go. You need to go to Engineer Menu>Other Settings>Set ADC. Alternatively, you can download the network app from the LG store in the Marketplace, and it will set ADC to ON upon first time running the app...
Hope it helps.
Hi kapanak, I just tried your advice few minutes ago but the problem continue happend, I've tried with soft a hard reset and in both cases set ADC to ON doesn't work. My carrier have to send me the data in a special format or stuff like that?
Is it possible to change the parameters of xml network profile file by myself?
Just in case: what do you mean with "soft reset"? turn off and then turn on the phone?
How can I change proxy settings on this phone? In this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843517 in the #3 it is mentioned some way to set the proxy and port settings on a samsung focus, I thinks these settings are missing on my LG Optimus 7 and that is why I can't access to 3G Network. some ideas?
Thank you for your answer
After you set ADC on, try to change sim (from another operator), restart, let it connect, and after that, insert back your sim. After restart go to settings, celular, data conection on and it should work.
Be sure if you have 3G network in your area...
Yes, I forgot to mention you need to swap SIM cards in order for the above to work. And make sure you take out the battery or you WILL short circuit the SIM, and your phone.
Thank you kapanak for your answer but It didn't work, I couldn't connect to 3G network and I still seeing the same network parameters (proxy and port) on my network xml file (throught MFG). Are there any way to modify these parameters directly on xml network file?
I guess that my carrier (Claro - Perú) is not able to send the autoconfig information in WP7 format.
Thank you
Have you tried to manually put the Claro APN? I used to do that here in Brazil and at least the 3G worked.
Try to do this:
Settings > Cellular > add apn, and then:
APN: claro.pe or wap.claro.pe (I found both on Bing)
User name: claro
Password: claro
And I think that's it.
PS.: My E900 only start to get automatic setup through ADC after I flashed my Orange-FR phone with an Open-EU ROM found here on XDA, before this, I used to manually set the APN and worked well, only the MMS was missing.
