Hello all,
New here. Yesterday I made the mistake of trying out the lagfix thingy and bricked my phone. But managed to reflash back to stock and clockwork thanks to justanothercrowd on this forum.
After I did a reset/reflash - everything seems to work fine excepted that my phone no longer detects networks - even though it says T-Mobile, I can't make any call or have any 3G or EDGE network. So if anyone has any idea or point me to similar thread I'd greatly appreciated (yes, I've already done a few searches).
My phone: T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant - Stock ROM, Rooted, Clockwork
If you need more detail please let me know, thanks a bunch for any help
as far as I know, once the netwrk is detected, your APN settings should be added automaticaly and data should work... did you try to see if the APN settings are there and they are right?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I even manually go network Operators to select t-mobile, reboot, wiped the phone again just to be sure. It's still can't detect it.
Maybe I'm missing some sorts of package when I did a clean reflash back to the stock ROM?
go to Settings --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names and see if t-mobile is in there, and if it is, make sure the fields are correct (APN, MMSC, MCC, etc) and if T-Mobobile is not there, add it manually, see if that helps

You're right, the APN is empty... I guess I was just checking mobile networks. Can you post the settings? Otherwise I can go hunt around for one.
Thanks a bunch for your help!
Edit: I got it working! Thanks a lot! If anyone else needs the settings:
Name:T-Mobile
APN:epc.tmobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC:310
MNC:260
APN Type:Internet + MMS
glad you got it working... for other people wanting to add manualy, once you get to Access Point Names, click menu, New, and name it T-Mobile, on APN put epc.tmobile.com and leave everything else empty.... reboot the phone and the network will automaticaly fill the rest of the fields

Make sure you use the correct APN, sometimes PAYG APN's are different from contract ones.

I am from Kerala State, India. I very recently purchased a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc (LT15i) Phone which runs on Android 2.3. I thought I would share this experience of mine with the forum.
I am a Tata Docomo Subscriber and since there is no 3G coverage in my area, I wanted to setup internet (GPRS - 2G) on the Arc. I called Tata Docomo GPRS helpdesk and they gave me some settings. With that settings, I was trying to create an APN and to save that and it was not getting saved at all. I thought that it was a bug. I did some research on internet, but couldnt find any solution. I did came accross the following links, but they were not satisfactory.
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=findpost&pid=1076166
http://androidforums.com/nexus-s-support-troubleshooting/301776-apn-fields-setting-problem.html
I did a reset of the phone and still the problem persisted.
The settings given by Tata Docomo GPRS Helpdesk was as under:
Name : TATADOCOMOINTERNET
APN: TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET
Proxy: <none>
Port: 8080
Usename :<none>
Password:<none>
MMSC:<none>
MMS Proxy: <none>
MMS Port:<none>
MCC : 404
MNC: 40
Authentication Type: <none>
APN Type: <none>
Wherever the <none> thing is given, I was asked to leave the field blank.
After typing all this, I tried to save this information and it was not getting saved. I lost my patience and called Tata Docomo helpdesk again and they gave the same settings. They were not in a position to help further.
I did a factory reset and tried once again. Still It was not getting saved.
I tried some R&D and tried to create another APN.
I gave the following values:
Name : TATADOCOMOINTERNET
APN: TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET
Proxy: <none>
Port: 8080
Usename :<none>
Password:<none>
MMSC:<none>
MMS Proxy: <none>
MMS Port:<none>
MCC : 405
MNC: 03
Authentication Type: <none>
APN Type: <none>
For MCC and MNC, 405 and 03 were the default values. I actually didnt do any modifications in those columns.
I tried saving it and it got saved. I restarted the phone and it worked. So, the only information required to setup an APN manually is the Name, APN name and Port No. Nothing else and its so simple...
Hope this helps someone....

Dear Tata Docomo,
Many thanks. Appreciate the reply.
The settings which I have mentioned in this forum are working just fine. I went to Tamil Nadu recently and it was working there also. I was able to use internet, A-GPS all with those settings.
Unfortunately your helpdesk couldnt help me properly. Would be nice if you could share this info with new customers who takes the pain to call GPRS helpdesk (after learning that long process of reaching there) to findout the settings.

Hey Kalesh.
I stay in Bangalore and I was in the same situation you were in. The settings just woudn't save. However the settings you've posted worked and my Arc is now connected! Thanks for posting this.

'All Operator APNs | Beta' new Android app by Tweakker
Hi
Tweakker has developed an app that has access to a database of APN settings for more than 600 operators. This gives a total of more than 700 internet APN settings accessible by an easy interface in the application.
Our aim is to once and for all try and eliminate the problems of faulty APN internet settings for Android users. The application installs the settings and checks if a connection can be established. It rolls back to previously installed settings if it can't connect via the APN set up by Tweakker.
You can help make our app better by using the app. It is available in free beta from the Android Market. Just search for Tweakker and you should find it.
Any feedback or problems using the app you should post here and we will get back to you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13648113

I had to literally fight with the CS Rep. I didn't get the setting first. Finally got the settings but still i wasn't getting the E symbol. He was keep saying to clear and cookies then try again. I told him the E symbol should be active all the time. He said NO it won't work that way. Finally I found an option in Settings > Sony Ericsson > Settings download that fixed the problem.
Hi all, I know I'm posting in the wrong section but could you please tell me the price of the Xperia Arc in India? Just asking here as you all seem to be in Kerala, India. Any help is appreciated.

To the OP, I was under the impression that Tata DoCoMo had 3G coverage in Kerala. Was I mistaken?
Sorry for the delay in answering. Docomo 3g is available in select cities like trivandrum , Kochi etc. The coverage is very limited.

Hi kalesh,
Im in kerala with docomo.. I had the same problem of APNs not saving.. ur settings work and saves, but pages doesn't load.. is there anyway I can change DNS servers in android? (mine's a rooted froyo)
According to wikipedia , however the MNC code for kerala - TATA teleservices is 035 instead of your 03 value.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code#I
The values of wikipedia fails to save, .. maybe they had an error? Or something changed within docomo.. Im not sure. Can you guys confirm?
i think the code is 03
Anybody having success in setting up Tata Docomo 3G on Google Nexus 4
Hi All.
I just recently got my new Google Nexus 4 from US. I am having trouble setting up 3G on my phone.
Docomo Customer case suggested using the APN name as TATA DOCOMO INTERNET with APN as TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET and leaving the rest of the settings to default.
Tried all the options of restarting the phone ,turning on /off airplane mode. None worked .
This doesn't work and TATA docomo support doesn't have any clue .Any help is greatly appreciated .

So I ported over my number from AT&T to Simplemobile for the 40 dollar monthly unlimited everything plan. I have everything working except data. I keep trying to change the APN but it's not working. Does anybody know exactly what settings I need to get data to work on the Samsung Focus? My phone is unlocked by the way. Thanks!

What exactly have you tried so far?
Thanks for the reply! Well I've tried using the Samsung Network Profile app, tried changing the APN by naming the APN "simple." I've also tried using the names simplemobile, Simple Mobile, but anyways its not working. Supposedly simple is supposed to work for the HD7, but it's not working for the focus

I wonder...
Do this: delete all APN you have manually entered.
Change the radio to World instead of North America in Settings/Applications/radio
Then, switch the profile to AT&T from Network profile, reset, then switch back to Simplemobile and reset again.
I hope this does the trick, if it doesn't you would need specific information from Simplemobile...
Type simple in both username and password. I figured it out by chance.
Thanks for the help, can you tell me exactly how you have your focus setup? I'm trying what you said and it isn't working. Do you have the samsung network app installed?
goto the APN settings..
under APN name use value " WWW" thats it.. save it.. restart the phone (if required).
So mine stopped working as well. I have an old Tmobile Dash and it works through that. I do have the Network profile installed as well as the Samsung tools. My focus is totally unlocked, but right now it makes no difference.
So, I deleted the APN and started from scratch. Network settings installed as well as Samsung tools with the 3G marker checked. Even though the 3G cannot work on Tmobile, when I enabled it and then typed in simple for APN, it works.
Hope this helps.
Please Help
Hey can you guys please explain how you got the data and MMS to work on your simple mobile unlocked Focus. I have the Network profile App, but cant find the Samsung tools app on the market place.
Also, what goes into the APN settings (Proxy server, username, etc)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
if in the us your apn (att) would be
APN = wap.cingular
USER NAME = [email protected]
PASSWORD = cingular1
I think that I have internet working on my Samsung Focus on Simple Mobile. I say 'think', because often when I try to open a website I am taken to the url androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html which displays a 503 error. I tested just now by turning off wi-fi, trying to open a web page over and over again. I got this URL and 503 error a few times and then a web page finally loaded. It's not terribly useful, but it occasionally works - so I'm assuming this is more a problem with the connection than with the settings. Sometimes the cell indicator flips between an E and a G. I don't know what the G means, it's not documented that I could find.
I cannot get MMS to work, and based on my research and some others have said this too, it cannot be made to work. Samsung has an app called "Network Profile" that will change the MMS settings for the Focus, but there is no option for Simple Mobile. Until Samsung updates the app for Simple Mobile, we are out of luck.
The settings I use to get data/internet to work on my Focus are:
Under: Settings - Cellular
Data connection: On
Data roaming options: Don't Roam
Network selection: Automatic
Edit/Create APN
APN: simple
User name: [blank]
Password: [blank]
Proxy server/URL: 216.155.165.50
Proxy port: 8080

The thing I think that is left out of most of the instructions is to go to the secret menu by going to the dialer and entering ##634# and then go to MMS and change the apn there to simple.
Now my Dell Venue Pro is on Simple Mobile and the Internet finally works!
How did you change you MMS settings in diagnostic mode? I can only see the code but cannot find a code to edit the mms or data settings.
I am still stuck even after adding simple apn

The reason most people leave that step out is because it is not a step they can follow. The original question was about the Focus, and the Focus doesn't let users specify the MMS settings. From what I've read, only the Dell Venue Pro gives users direct access to the MMS settings. Which is why it's the only WP7 phone that Simple Mobile officially supports for MMS.
Samsung has a network app for the Focus that allows you to pick a carrier and then it changes the settings as appropriate. Unfortunately, it doesn't support many carriers.
I'm considering making the switch to TMobile prepaid - TMobile shows up in the nework app along with AT&T and so should be supported.
UPDATE: Switched to TMobile. Using the "Network Profile" app set to automatic network profile changing = On and Active Profile = T-Moile USA, I received MMS messages right away. Will do internet testing later. For 10 bucks less a month I would've preferred to stay with Simple Mobile, but since Microsoft / Samsung lock the MMS settings down & Samsung hasn't updated their Network Profile app to support more carriers, I had to make the switch. Glad at least the mms piece is working.
I was able to successfully use both 3G data AND send/receive MMS with the following settings:
APN: simple
MMS:
MMS APC: simple
MMSC: h77p://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapeng (Replace sevens with "t"; new user controls...)
AUTH TYPE: None
All other fields are to be left blank.
As mentioned, these settings worked for me marvelously. ...For roughly ten minutes. Then the phone wouldn't wake up, I had to do a battery pull, and mms stopped working. When I go to check the mms settings in EM, it holds onto every value (including blank ones) save for the following:
MMS PORT: (blank)
AUTH TYPE: "None"
Whenever I select "Apply" to save settings, it always force resets those two values to the following:
MMS PORT: 80
AUTH TYPE: "PAP"
Hopefully this is all easy to understand. I've tried at length to search both xda and the world-wide-webz for an answer, but I'm coming up blank. I've always been able to figure this junk out for myself, but this is my first WP7 device, and I'm all kinds of 'tarded with it, haha.
You might want to enable the automatic sim settings. This setting is off by default due to samsung. I think the reason is to keep people on the same carrier that the phone was originally intended for use ie. samsung focus Att
1. Bring up diagnotics app ##634#
2. open diagnostics app located in your apps list (swipe left from start screen)
3. in the diagnostic app type 40*047#3
4. there will be a confimation prompt to confirm autosim detection
5. then the phone will restart and you should have MMS and cellular functionality and internet
This has helped my samsung focus from dropping in and out of my 3g connection...wonderful ...hope this works for you and confirm if it does work please.
I take no credit for this method and here is the original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241721
I got mine working without mms. Jailbroke the phone and followed the steps to enable internet connection sharing... that added samsung tools. I don't know what in the end made the difference but I was able to use network profile to tmobile and then add apn simple and it worked.
Since then I moved to straight talk .. att.mvno worked for them for apn but still no mms.

First, please make sure your APN settings is correct by checking the connection to the Internet.
If you are not sure about APN settings, you should ask your service provider (or your mobile operator)
Once you can access to the Internet using this APN, you can easily active the hotspot.
