WP7 mobile network (UK)

I put WP7 on my HD2 today and the automatic network it picks is T-Mobile UK but I'm with Virgin. I went to the settings to look for Virgin but it's not in the list. If I use it as T-Mobile, is that going to count as 'roaming'? A text and a call I made over an hour ago haven't shown up on my Virgin account's recent calls yet, so I'm going to assume this is the case (it's normally takes less than 30 minutes unless roaming).
Does anyone know how I can enable it for Virgin?

Yep, I'm having the same problems... I can' find a place where I can change the settings to put a manual network in place...

have you installed the connection setup xap??
it will configure the phone for your network and needs to be done with HD2's.
im on t-mobile but could not use 3g or internet data unless i ran the xap and it configured it. maybe it will sort your problem.

Virgin use T-mobile's phone masts, you won't be charged any roaming fees.

Just to let u guys know, I did the same, and 3g works, it also displays virgin media now.

To clarify things a bit. Some ROM''s don't display correctly the names ot virtual mobile operators like Virgin or Tesco in the UK or elsewhere in the world. Instead the phones display the name of the network that is actually used by the virtual operator. That shouldn't be a problem at all and involves no additional costs to the user

Thanks for all the advice. I checked this morning and the call and text came through uncharged, so it wasn't roaming. Unable to confirm whether the connection setup suggested works for me as I got impatient last night and wasn't too impressed with WP7 anyway, so decided to flash NANDroid (seeing as I now had the right HSPL and MAGLDR in place for WP7).
Thanks again.

hread moved to HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A and General

If your on Virgin Mobile you will need to change the APN settings under 'mobile network' in settings for Virgin mobile to get 3G and such

[Q] unlocked tmobile hd2 no data connection??? please help

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

Tmo tab on uk network?

So i am currently in the uk (northern ireland to be exact) when i try to select a network (O2, Vodafone, tmobile) it wont register, it sees the network but it wont connect to it. Besically i am using the tab with my tmobile sim not a local sim, and the tab is still network locked to tmobile. Any ideas on how i can get it to register to a local network? I am not looking to unlock the tab (not right now at least) and run it with a local sim just trying to connect to a network just in case i need to make a call.

Do you have "WorldClass International Roaming" enabled on your plan?
Regards,
Dave

Well i am not sure,i actually checked my account and all i see is somethibg called world class international service, my wife has this option on her line but her phones does not connect either so i not sure thats not the only thing that needs to be activated. There is no way for me to select that service on my line. I also have an old phone wich was unlocked and using a prepaid sim card and it does not connect either. Could it be the sim that is not allowing to connect?

You can add that above mentioned roaming service for the time you are away. I think you can do it through the att.com website. But get ready for a shock - it's a buttload of cash for data and cell.
You're at a pc, right? If it's windows 7 and you have your cable, why not unlock it and buy a local sim? That's my solution when I'm out of the US.

As metioned on my previous post my wife has that service on her line and she still cant get it to register on the local network. Might be the sim we have,tmo, its not letting us connect. Ill have to call them when i get back to the us and find out why. I am waiting to contact tmo to get my unlock code for the tab, i am not confortable using adb.

You can follow the cut-paste steps from Roto to unlock tab without adb. Just get a terminal emulator from the market, and open it, then do the copy-paste in the emulator. It's cool!
Did you check your network settings to enable roaming?

I have also noticed that the GPS was not working either, I was driving and had GPS test running for over 5minutes and it never locked the most I got was 4 satellites but didn't lock on any of them. Mind you I was driving out in the country and clear skies no idea why GPS would not lock in northern Ireland.

When I can't get a lock, like right after flashing a new rom/kernal, I go into recovery (power +volume up), and clear the cache partition (don't factory reset!), then I use a market app called Here I Am 2 to get the first position lock in a new region or country.

Ok it seem to have worked by doing what u suggested but how can i make sure it is unlocked since i dont have a non tmo sim?
I did have roaming enabled and still nothing, i will call tmo to ask and see what they say.

The only way to know if you are unlocked is by using another carrier's sim. Just borrow one from a friendly local, or buy a prepaid sim to use for local calls.

Guess ill have to stop by an att store but with att buying tmob it will not matter soon.

So i seemed to have unlocked the tab using rotos method, i went out and got a att sim to try and see if it actually worked but i can not get the tab to run on the att sim. I did use the sim to unlock my tmo vibrant and it worked with no issues, so what am i doing wrong? Do i need a new modem for the sim to work? I also tried using the apn settings from the vibrant running the att sim and nothing, tried apn settings from google and nothing, what gives? Any advise? Thanks.

If your phone doesn't have the necessary frequency bands for their network, you'll never get internet on that phone. When bringing your own phone to any network, it's important to be sure it's compatible with their network. If it is indeed compatible, you just need to adjust the apn settings to work with it. You may still not get 4g only 3g

I have the 801 also and FM and mine works perfect.I have tried the tmobile lte apn and the FM apn and both work but only for h+.What apn are you using and did you save the apn.

[Q] new to verizon galaxy S5

Just bought verizon galaxy S 5. Changed SIM to AT&T from straight talk. First of all was that a mistake? When ever i leave a wi-fi area the phone goes to emergency calls only. Email and text stops as well. Can't get voice mail to work anywhere
Would appreciate any help.
Thank you

Just a thought, go to settings /more networks and make sure you have the correct network checked

New to verizon galaxy s 5
The network was correct . Wondering if im in a bad area. My Iphone 4 works fine. Might be AT&T

Wait... you put an AT&T sim in your phone? This is a Verizon forum. If I misunderstood, please tell me.

Just to be clear because you didn't state it in your post, you must unlock your phone prior to using a non-Verizon SIM. You can sometimes get these unlock codes from Verizon but you can also buy them online. I've used GSMLiberty.net with success before. After that, you should be able to pop in your SIM from the new carrier and begin using it right away. In some cases, you may need to manually add the correct APN for your carrier. Find these settings under Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access point names. Click the little plus icon in the top right and manually enter AT&T's APN information. You may need to Google that as I don't know AT&T's APN info.
I use my Verizon S5 on T-Mobile's networks with absolutely no issues, I assume it would be a similar experience for AT&T as well. For me, I put my T-Mobile SIM card in and could make calls and receive texts, but mobile data and MMS was not working properly until I manually added the correct APN information. After that, MMS, 4G LTE data and everything is working flawlessly.

You do not need an unlock code for a LTE Verizon phone. These phones are already unlocked. One must set the correct APN.
Do not buy an unlock code!
I have used my Verizon S5 with att and t-mobile.
Good luck.

thank you all
Thank you for your posts. Most of the phone works. When I leave a wi-fi area my phone goes to emergency calls only. When I go back to a wi-fi area the normal call service works again. I'm new to verizon and samsung. Wanted to use straight talk because i didn't feel like paying a fortune for service. I'll get it figured out some way.
Thank you again
