any help would be great
thanks
I don't think that phone can work on 3 network. I think it is of an complete different 'frequency'. Can you make/receive phone calls using the 3 sim?
yes, calls work etc not tried a video call as yet but i know lots of fones dont work at all with the 3 sim but the exec does
Same here

You can input all the settings, but I can't seem to be able to access the 3 portal.
In settings, connections tab, connections
advanced tab, select networks
new, and input the relevant info from here:
Data accounts: Create one called 3 GPRS.
APN: three.co.uk
Username:
Password:
Login request: Off
Allow calls: Automatic
IP address:
DNS address:
Authentication: Normal
Data compression: Off
Header compression: Off
MMS settings can be entered via outlook menu
gateway: http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
proxy: 217.171.192.2
port: 8799
(account is the 3UK avvount above)
Not sure if u need to input the Video gateway.
If anyone know how to actually open the portal, plz help,
I think the problem is that the page detects what device you are using, and an exec is not on their list.
My A1000 uses Opera so it cant be that much different...
Thanx Aristotle
3GRPS seems to work ok, considering that on EXEC it will not display any service pages still but does connect to 3.
Though the MMS settings are not working. I am not able to download my MMS messages and send either any suggestions.
Thankyou in advance
In Australia, so for we have got the Universal to connect to planet3, 3G for internet access, and video calling. We still have not managed to get it working for mms, and video streaming.

Oh that's good, is there anything special you need to do to access planet 3? because I can connect, but can't load any pages.
I guess the video streaming is to do with the hutchkey plugin(???)
Aristotle, you're in the UK, and it's all firewalled on 3, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. I know things are different in Australia (from the 3g forum).
That's why I left for t-mob: the irony is that the network that claims to be the most hi-tech is in fact the most low-tech of them all. On t-mob web and walk pro and the exec, you get full internet access (no restrictions), with infinite bandwith. That means during the day I remote-desktop to my home machine over 3G, then when I go home it switches calls to skype (I turn gprs off and wifi on), never worrrying about the bills. Try doing that on 3. :-/
lol.....well in australia we only really have one option for 3G at this stage, and thats 3.
walk into an optus store here asking about 3G, and if your lucky they know what your talking about, and at best they might be able to tell you that the broachers are coming.
Vodafone here, well not bad, but ask them anything outside what there trained to know and you might as well be talking egyptian.
telstra....lol....almost as bad as optus.....
Give us another 3 yrs....

Yeah, I know, thanks =/ it would be nice to see the F1 news and footie scores whilst on the train...
Used to be on T-mobile but it's reception was (and still is) awful where I live, drops more calls than 3.
Yep, wouldnt it be great to have a program that would have all the F1 details for the season and also sync options to get all the latest news, minute by minute race and qualifing updates....mmm....sounds very viable

Hi guys,
Im also having a similar dillema to you guys.
Bought an SPV M5000 from ebay and unlocked with buzz's tool, but now using my 3 sim card I cant send any sms, or send/recieve any mms.
Im thinking I may just sell the phone on, wait until my contract expires, and get a new one on a proper contract with orange or O2 becuase im addicted to txting and its getting a bit annoying constantly swapping my sim into my A1000.
Thanx

omg
no offence, but...
universal is a 3g compatible phone - it will work with 3, vodafone 3, Australia 3, etc - it is designed to do that.
secondly - use the http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/7600/HutchKey as access to the portal - just make it your homepage. this one is for nokia, it works with me.
re sms - check the sms centre!!! thats all you have to do - call the support and they will give you the number.
confused
sorry to seem really thick ( I probably am), but where is the setting to change sms centre number on the unversal. Ive been through all settings and cant find it. I dont remember changing this on my A1000 when I flashed it with the non 3 Uk F/W
I've been told about this 3 network not compatible with any other phones except the phones that cames together with the package. I wonder why is it so? I mean, others are trying to lock the phone, so that it can't be used with other network. But locking the network to a certain phone doesn't make any business sense.
However, I've recently had a look on my friend's 3 network phone. And it seems that the phone main screen is flashing advertisements constantly. And, as far as I know, this 3 network is the cheapest to maintain so far, that's why many seems to be using it.
So, my current conclusion is that, they need a phone that has the ability for them to flash advertisements, if not, they won't let you have the cheap network rate without the ability for them to flash advert.

Hi igs, I can access some pages on planet 3, but not others, if I try for example the link you give for nokias, I get an error message (see below, sorry for the small image, can't find the right screenshot programme)
However, I can access some pages, e.g. checking my balance (see below), by typing the link. and if I click on the links from there, I can open some pages but not others.
These are my settings
I have APN: three.co.uk
Username password and domain are blank
Use server assigned IP address in TCP/IP and Servers
And nothing checked for proxy settings
Any ideas? Could it be that you have some plugin that I don't? Thanks....
Also ai118, I didnt need to specify a sms centre, it did it automatically...

I'm using Cingular 8525 (unlocked) in Canada with Fido sim, where can i change the GPRS setting on the phone? i don't see any place that can change it? thanks in advance!
look what I found when I googled Fido "GPRS Settings"
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/7418
In any case, Ross Barkman's page is the best for finding your telco settings.
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html
To change your settings you have 3 options (I've included details instructions so follow them carefully):
Option 1.
1. Go the box the phone came in
2. Pull out the little book that says user manual
3. Open the book up
4. Read it.
Option 2.
1. Scroll to the top of this page
2. Click on XDA-Wiki
3. Go the Hermes Section
4. Read it.
5. Read it again, so you understand everything not just the GPRS problem.
Option 3 (and I'm gonna hear about this from pof).
1. Click Start
2. Click Settings
3. Click Con... Argh, I can't sorry man... you're gonna have to pick 1 or 2.
Forgive me pof, I started feeling sorry for the newbie. I promise I won't do it again!
thanks! i already know what the setting is, but i'm just wondering that will Cingular allow me to change the GPRS settings?
If the phone is unlocked, there is nothing stopping you from changing anything on the phone. For all purposes Cingular is just a name written on your phone, Cingular the company has nothing to do with you anymore unless you have a cingular SIM in your phone.
Thanks for replied, the problme is, the Cingular stock rom doesn't have any icon that let me to change the GPRS setting! there should be a "Network Wizard" on Setting-->Connection , but there is non! when i click on GPRS setting, it only allowing me choose either "PAP authentication" or "CHAP authentication" . i have been playing the GPRS setting for a long time, but didn't get anyting, so should i flash to other rom? thanks in advance!
We are having the same problem
I have an 8125 running with a Movistar Mexico SIM and last Sunday I got its replacement: an 8525, I spent most of the Sunday (and the several days before) reading threads and doing all procedures to unlock it until I succeeded, so now I have an 8525 unlocked supre CID and all that ... "running" with the same SIM and same GPRS set up but I haven´t been able to navigate internet on GPRS (stalls in the "opening" status), I installed spb GPRS Monitor and the traffic is zero Kb on all tries that I´ve made to connect to the internet. I set also my Gmail account which is set up to retreive amails every 15min and although generates GPRS traffic the behavior is totally different as in my 8125. About MS Messenger and Hotmail the GPRS connection hasn´t been imposible. I´m a newbie I know it!! But you expert guys should help us at least with comments, I agree that some people make repeated questions because they don´t want to read, this is not our case, I´ve read a lot and I´m sure eeric di´d it too. PLEASE HELP....
Use this as a guide to putting in GPRS and MMS settings.

Substitute the settings for your network.

Thank you Bny! I do know how to make it and also set the proper strings in my case APN would be internet.movistar.mx and the user name & paswrord is movistar. That´s not really the problem, in fact I do know that I have a connection to my network, the problem is that something happen 8525 than doesn´t allow me to route my connections thru other routes but the one that Cingular has a preset. I really don´t know if is it the Ext ROM, my SIM card (not a 3G card) or the network itself since is not a 3G network !!!?
have any of you guys considered doing a hard reset and then soft reset before the 3 second customization? that way none of the cingular stuff gets installed?!?

I suppose there could be a number of reasons for this. But here is a consideration from my experience albeit on a different network. I entered all the details for my O2 connection as published on several different internet sites. Initially I could not get beyond "connecting" but found a minor error in what I had entered. Now I got as far as "Opening" but never actually open a site. I gave up but happened across a website that suggested that if you get that far i.e. "to opening" then perhaps the only fault would be the port number in proxy settings for HTTP. I checked and it was correctly set to "80". I did searches on the internet and found one that suggested port "8080" and it worked straight away. I only suggest that you check the port number and whether there are alternatives if you are getting as far as "opening".

Do you have Start>setings>connections>connections
Note two "connections" and if you do you get a page titled connections and Two headings 1. My ISP and 2. My Work Network

Thanks Mike and shogunmark! I´ll try the trick to avoid the customisation from Cingular; as far the port setting that´s a good point, however my screen for connection settings only shows 2 tabs: 1)Tasks and 2) Advanced, the 3rd tab (Proxy) that is present in my 8125 is missing in my 8525. Any ideas to make it appear or change the port? Thanks again you guys!
I did it, but it did not work.....
I just tried but it didn´t work either.... let´s see what´s next. Thank You!

I did what shogunmark suggested and it didn´t work either, I´m wondering waht would be the correct proxy server configuration, besides the port number I really don´t know the type of connection (http, wap, sec wap or scocks 4/5), neither the server name
I made the connection
I allways had the right "parameters" to set a proper connection, but I realized that the connection speed is extremely slow (5 Kbps at the most). I open another thread related to the use of a G3 device with a non G3 SIM / network. Thank you all for your help.

Hi guys,
got my N1 this morning and been playing with it all day. Then i figured to test the mobile internet vs wifi. Thing is i cannot get anything to work over mobile internet? its just not loading/connecting as i recieved connection errors. Im on orange and got unlimited data usage plan. I've tried restarting the phone, restarted the service provider search and selected orange again but still no luck.
Any ideas how to get this working please?
You will probably need the settings from your provider and add a new apn check with orange for settings
go to menu settings
wireless controlls
mobile networks
access point names
menu select new apn
Name: Orange UK
APN: orangeinternet
rest of fields other then mnc and so forth at the bottom can be left the way they are blank. Should work if you have internet thru your provider
Thanks!! called up Orange directly and the lady was suprised i had a Nexus one. The phone call turned into a kind of review then she told me that she's prob the first person at orange to deal with a N1 user and she needed to check. After 2 mins she came back to say the system doesnt recognise my device.... and she cannot therefore send me any settings.
I've tried though m9 what you've given me and looked up further and managed to get it working like a charm. 3G's pumping away atm!! thanks mate you helped loads! appreciate it

I called Orange last week with exactly the same problem lol... they didnt have nexus one on the system, but the settings are exactly the same for HTC Hero so they just gave me those settings over the phone and worked.
If you go to the Orange website and look in the FAQ/Help section, you will find an entry about how to set up WAP and MMS - If you select the HTC Hero, the menu structure and entries are the same and worked for me on my Nexus One.
I just sold my HTC HD to a friend, but the problem is that we cant get it to send/recieve MMS!
I live in Sweden and the operator is Tele2/comviq, we have tried all the suggested settings on the Tele2 site, but it just refuses to connect!
I have never used MMS function as long as I had the phone, so I dont know if it worked before, but it dosent work now!
Could someone please help us, and tell if there is something wrong with the phone or if it is just a setting that we are missing!
I have not installed any custom roms, it still has the original wm 6.1 rom!
Thanks!
I had the same problem with T-Mobile and the only way I could get it to work was to turn off proxy server in the connections settings.

Thanks for the tip, I checked the connection settings, but there are no proxy servers active!
Any more suggestions?
Thanks!
it's not touch hd spc if I were you i'd search the networking it forum for your operator as all wm device owners share the same settings
Same problem
I am having all problem with mms (sending and receiving) aswell.
I think the problem comes from our htc hds and 3g n gsm.
When I use my sim card on another phone, i can easily send and receive.
I wonder if those recent roms don't affect the mms thing.
I tried the original rom of my hd with orange and I can send and receive without problem.
I believe there is something wrong with our settings.
Hi guys, I'm new to this part of XDA, mainly because I dont own a Wildfire & I'm posting this on behalf of my dad - to whom the phone belongs to. Anyway... Lets get down to business!
The Story:
- I recently went on holiday so I got my phone unlocked to any network. (It is still unrooted, branded etc just as it was on day one)
- While on holiday we got a local SIM so we wouldn't get bombarded with massive roaming charges
- Everything was fine and dandy on holiday
- When we got back to the airport back home the original SIM card was put back into the phone, but it wouldn't show any signal
The Problem:
If you went into "About phone" > "Network" the following is displayed
Operator name: Unknown
Signal strength: 0
Mobile network type: Unknown
Service state: Out of service
Roaming: Not roaming
But if you go into the testing menu it shows that there is signal and comes up ~-99asu or there abouts
But if I go into mobile network and try to select a network manually I just get "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network" and my lock screen displays "Limited service"
The Attempted Fix:
Here's a list of things I've tried to do to fix it with no avail:
- Changing SIM cards (every SIM doesn't work - even those that do work in other phones)
- Rebooting
- Factory resetting
- Turning radio off & on in hidden testing menu
- Shouting at it really loudly
- Changing WCDMA prefered thing (Does't do anything, just reverts back)
- Phoning up Three UK (Originally bought from)
They say they didn't do anythng to the phone i.e. Accidentally blacklist it
- Phoning up HTC
They say phone up Three - it's their problem
- Phoning up Three... Again!
They say go into a Three store and they'll diagnose the problem and try to fix it
- Going into a Three store
They say phone up the SIM card company I used abroad - No, really. They did say that!
- Phoning up random foreign SIM card company
It was a pain top finally get someone who spoke English, They told me to ask Three! AAAAAARRRGHHH
So basically, I thought i'd come to you guys for help. Have you any suggestions? Who should I pointlessly call next? Have you seen this problem before? Am I mad for trying this hald already? Is the phone just borked? Are all the network providers just idiots? Do I have any option other than to smash this into lots of tiny pieces and buy a new phone?
I still think it's one of the carriers faults for accidentally blacklisting it, but they wont listen. Is there anyway I can unblacklist it without going through the carriers. Is there any regulatory body that will help me in doing that (I'm in the UK)
Thank you very much XDA Community!
Did 3 check your apn settings where correct?
Normally a carrier will phone you back on a different phone line so you can check the settings are correct or you can find them via Google.
The apn settings are located in settings/wireless & networks/mobile network/access point names (I think that's the correct path)
I think after a factory reset it should ask which network (apn) you want to connect to, it did on mine. I got 3 options o2 prepay, o2 post pay or giffgaff.
Reason I ask is I didn't see any mention of apn in your post and this is important as you cannot connect to any carriers network if the apn is missing or wrong.

Hummmm... It looks like something is damaged. If the phone is covered by warranty, use it. If don't, you can always try to reflash the original firmware or rooting it and falsh a custom ROM.
This is all I can say. Hope you get an answer soon.
