Hi
Whenever I'm out of Wifi-range, and want to connect via UMTS/edge nothing happens, even though its enabled as far as I know. If i go into settings -> about phone -> status and look under "Mobile network type", it says UMTS. But then further down under "Mobile network state" is says disconnected. How do i turn this on then?
Did you unlock your phone? Check your apn settings you will need to change them to your specific carrier in denmark.
Thanks! Found my carriers apn and now it works! Im still a bit of an android virgin im used to Steve Jobs and his fruit-loving staff deciding for me

Hi to all,
i live on the border between switzerland and france, which means that if i don't control roaming i am dead!
on the QTEK 9100 (rom 2.8.7.1) i can set my preferred networks (SET NETWORKS) in automatic mode, but every time i soft reset this information is lost. does the same happen to you? do you understand why?
yes often happens to me and dont know why. these settings should be stored with the network provider not on the handset so maybe its a network problem!?

As far as I know they should be stored on the SIM. There is a problem with some devices either ignoring the preferred networks list entirely, or loosing the settings (as they are SIM-locked by the provider so the saving to SIm fails silently).
Check with your SIM/Network provider - they will be able to tell you if you can change the settings or not. On some networks, and with some SIMS you just can't.
hi i'm new to this and i'm not a programmer. can any one could guide me how
to setup data service T-mobile carrier?
What does this have to do with Android development? That's right, absolutely nothing!
Come on people, don't post useless messages in the wrong forum...

Hi,
You are Posting in the Wrong Forum Category, the right place would be http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=615
To your Problem: Under Settings->Wireless->Mobile Networks select "Automatic Configuration" after that you should be ready to go.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
Make sure you get the x10 with the right bands for Tmobile 3g, and that the phone you buy is unlocked. Pop in your sim card. You should be ready to go, that's how it worked for mine except I got the one that works on 850/1900 3g for AT&T.
If for some reason it doesn't work, you can set the APN for data manually in settings -> wireless controls -> mobile networks -> access point names and input the settings for the tmobile data plan you have: http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm21625.xml;jsessionid=6mJPnjzkuv_SLBEXGs
Enjoy your phone!
I am in the US using my x10 on the t-mobile network right now.
When I chose the option to auto configure the internet settings it did not work so I changed the apn to internet2.voicestream.com and that worked.
if you go to settings > mobile networks > access point names > t-mobile GPRS > apn then input the apn stated above, it should work.
That's strange on my T-mobile sim chip is simply auto configured the phone without any user intervention.
Great news is that T-Mobile's faster 3G service is starting to spread. I was randomly testing this weekend and now I'm getting 3.5Mbps / 1.3Mbps (up/down) on average.
Before I was getting 0.6Mbps / 0.7Mbps so that's a huge improvement!
This is in the Los Angeles area.
Hey do anyone know if the NS can roam? The reason I ask is because where I live there's basically no t_mobile service but there is ATT service. So I was wondering is there's a way to get the phone to roam on ATT network instead of T-Mobile?
I went into setting > Network and Wireless > Mobile Network Settings and clicked network operators and ATT displayed. I clicked it and got the popup that it was "Registering with ATT" but then got the message that this sim card do not allow connection to that provider"
Also why do the bars change green to white, do they indicate something when they change colors?

the change in color indicates connectivity to google services
Yes you can but you will get your standard roaming charges.
If T-Mobile has a roaming agreement where you are and you can not access T-Mobile's native network then the NS will roam, just like any other T-Mobile phone. It is not at all different from the rest of their phones.

So when they turn Green then they're connecting to Google services and when they're white, they're not?

Well let me ask you this, I was at the mall yesterday and all of a sudden I had no bars and signal. I tried to make a call and it said something to the effect of "Mobile network unavailable...emergency calls only" Wouldn't the phone roam at this point or no?
I also went into settings > wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks a> Network Operators ...I did a search ATT popped up, Iclicked it and got the message that it was registering..then I got the message that it was unable to register with ATT. Can the phone be forced to roam and connect to another carrier?
i have a tmobile hd2 and its carrier unlocked i am using it with ATT and i just recently lost all data connection to my phone. i have an unlimited data plan that was working perfect until just recently. no internet or mms not even weather!! only can use wifi. can anyone help? thanks
Have you tried
*#*#4636#*#*
dial this and then go to phone information.
Have you run the ping test?
Checked what Current Network says?
Checked to see if there is anything listed under =======DATA======= ?
Have you tried to put a friend's TMO sim in the phone to see if data is restored?
All the data you can provide could help solve your problem. As is, the problem might be a little ill defined.

If you are running Windows Mobile on your HD2 from the home screen touch onvStart Menu/Settings/Menu/All Settings/Connections/Connections. Then tiuch on the adcanced tab and then touch on Select Networks and make sure AT&T is the selected network. Also tiuch on the Task tab and select Manage Existing Connections. While on the Modem tab make sure AT&T is selected and under the Proxy Settings make sure the box beside "This network connects to the internet" is checked.
Ok if you are running Androud then go to Settings/Wirless & Networks make sure allow data connections box is checked. Also go to Networks/Vertualy private networks (VPN) and make sure your AT&T VPN is corrwct.
i have fixed the problem! i was running the tmobile 3.14 rom udate which sucked and i just flashed an energy rom and alll is working again thanks for the suggestions
Same Problem
Someone please help and know that I know little to nothing of technical terms! I have the same problem. I have a T-mobile Hd2 and had Android put on it. Right at first I had a data connection then all of a sudden-NO DATA. I'm so frustrated! I checked the setting for using the phone as data connection SEVERAL time. I can get wifi but no data otherwise. PLEASE HELP
Try:
Menu - Settings - Wireless and networks - Mobile network - Access Point Names - menu button - restore to defaults, and follow the simple instructions
This should place the latest APN from your carrier on to the phone - may need a soft reboot

Hi, I'm currently trying to get my T-Mobile HD2 to work properly on NTT docomo, a Japanese cell carrier. I moved here at the end of May and have been using a data-only SIM through bmobile, a provider that uses the same towers as NTT docomo and it worked perfectly, however I switched to a voice and data plan and now I have no data connection. Voice works fine though.
I followed nenol's steps and under =======DATA======= it says, "State: DcInactiveState disconnected with last try at 9:49PM fail because Activation Reject GGSN" What now? Ha
Really strange case:
I got a RAZR M that I hacked to work with US GSM carriers using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542
I am using my corporate ATnT card with it.
I am currently in roaming (Russia first, now Kazakhstan). Only GSM/UMTS networks here.
I have another simcard with me which is from Russian operator (Beeline). This network is present in Kazakhstan, however simcard is Russian, so in Kazakhstan this Beeline simcard is also in roaming.
Status:
On ATnT card, my RAZR wont connect properly to local cellphone networks. To explain better - it will occasionally connect to one of local operators (KCELL, MCC/MNC 40102), but it takes A LONG time to connect, easily disconnects, and it is very unreliable and erratic.
Moreover, in Mobile Network Settings menu there is NO OPTION to select operator (i do have GSM/UMTS mode enabled, not global).
On BeeLine card, my RAZR happily connects to any of chosen networks, AND operator selection option is available in Mobile Network settings.
I have another phone in my pocket - old Nokia S40 based. This one works perfectly with Beeline simcard. With ATnT simcard it wont automatically connect to a network, but manual operator selection dialog is accessible, and I can select any network and connect to it.
So, for some reason, with ATnT simcard in my RAZR, mobile networks settings menu disbles (completely removes!) operator selection dialog.
Any way to get around this? I have scraped around every possible search criteria, but I cant find any way to force that menu item to appear!
However, I accidentally stumbled upon a weird workaround:
I put Beeline card in
Manually select operator (Beeline)
Turn off the phone
Put in ATnT simcard
Turn the phone on
In this case on startup phone throws in notification (from motorola phone app) saying "selected preferred network not available".
If i click that notification, it takes me directly to network scanning menu, happily displays available networks and allows me to connect. From that point on, it stays fixed to the network I chose.
This means that this is not a problem of simcard or radio or ROM directly. It is some weird trigger built into ROM that reacts to ATnT simcard and removes "operator selection" option from setting.
Any idea how to force Operator Selection option to appear, or invoke it otherwise? Or maybe solve the issue alltogether? My workaround is really inconvenient.
