My girlfriend just unlocked her HTC Trophy on verizon. We put my att sim card in it, and voice/text worked great but she didn't have any 3g data, only edge.
Anyone know an apn setting so that way we can get the 3g data working on her phone?
PS, unlocking the Trophy was the easiest thing ever, vzw provided her with the code.

Hello, I had originally purchased a Samsung Focus unlocked for use on the Rogers network in Canada. I had no data until I installed Samsung's network profile app and switched it to Rogers. I have since switched to Koodo as a carrier. I once again have no data only this time there is not an option on the network profile application.
Any ideas on how to get data?
EDIT: Sorry, and do so if I wanted to not use Chevron's unlock method then get Samsung tools. So as in, is there any other way.
For data, you don't need the Samsung Network tool at all. You just need find out the APN for your new carrier and put it in. The Network tool is only needed for MMS.
Here is the APN for Koodo:
◦APN: sp.koodo.com
Hey guys,
I'm using AT&T Service on my HTC HD2 w/ Android. Everything's great except for the lack of 3G (since the bands AT&T use are different from T-Mobile).
So I was thinking, what if there was a way to roam onto T-Mobile's 3G bands?
But the thing is, I go to the Network Operators list and I only see AT&T. But I know there is T-Mobile service here because my relatives have T-Mobile and do get service here.
Here's a screenshot of the Network Operators screen:
Any ideas?
Not a huge deal as I am near Wi-Fi most of the time, but it would be nice to be able to use 3G

Get a sim card.

I don't want to switch providers. I'm more than happy with AT&T's voice service.
Set your phone to MANUAL NETWORK SEARCH, then scan. T-Mobile should then show up in the list but you won't be able to access the TMO network with your AT&T card.
T-Mobile and AT&T do not have roaming agreements. You will need a T-Mobile SIM to access T-Mobile's network.
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!
For those with a T-Mobile (USA) HTC One you may be interested to know that I just inserted my Straight Talk Sim (T-Mob version) and it worked with no need to Sim Unlock. I'd got the sim unlock code from an E Bay seller but did not need to use it.
Having now created the new APN all works fine - in fact, and for some weird reason, the data connection is slightly faster on the Straight Talk Sim! Cannot account for that but was typically getting 3-4Mbs on T-Mob sim and now get 5-6Mbs on Straight Talk - could be a coincidental T-Mobile increase in the output?
Apns help speeds surprisingly. And any tmobile phone, if used with tmobile mvno, don't need unlock from my experience. Correct me if I'm wrong. In my area, I get 7-14 down. Almost always >10. I'm on Solavei another tmobile mvno

I'm also on Solavei, came from T-Mobile. Popped the SIM and it it worked instantly.
Hey S4ers,
So I recently gave my friend my S4 (i337) restored to NB1. She does not have an active data plan, but I figured since I'm giving her the phone, it wouldn't matter too much.
She used to have an unlocked T-Mobile Phone working on AT&T, just running it on the EDGE network.
Anyway long story short, she cannot receive MMS anymore after using this phone. The phone has signal, but does not display E, 2G, 3G, 4G, or LTE. Just the signal bars. So I ordered an unlock code and received it, thinking that if I unlock the SIM that she could get this functionality. I tried the #0111*CODE# method in the dialer and receive an incorrect MMI message. Are there any other methods to unlocking the phone with the code that I have? No root would be ideal, because she has everything all set up on it, but I am open to any suggestions, really. I was wondering if I am going down the correct path in enabling MMS, by unlocking the phone like her old one used to be, or if AT&T needs to be contacted.
FYI, when we set up the phone, we called AT&T to register the new SIM, and provided the IMEI number, is it possible that they turned off any functionality because it was a smart phone without a data plan?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

What carrier SIM is being used in it? Also check your APN settings.
She is on AT&T and the APN is good. We had to get a new micro sim
