I use an unlocked Verizon Droid Pro in Germany with Vodafone. The phone works fine. I can place and receive calls, also abroad. I can also send sms messages. But I cannot connect to the internet via GSM. I added an APN with web.vodafone.de and select that APN to be used but it doesn't work.
Anyone has an idea on that? Is it locked on Verizon internet gateway (which is of course not available)?
Thanks for any help.
Hi,
I have the same config and it is working fine.
Only MMS are not working with any config.
I have only set
Name: vodafone
apn: web.vodafone.de
mcc: 262
Mnc: 02
Everything else is not set!

Hello,
I had the same problem with my unlocked Droid Pro... I am working in mobile network company, so found the problem only because I was able to trace it directly in equipment
There are fields username/password fields in the APN settings. Whenever you let these fields empty (because your carrier does not need them) - phone sends [email protected] instead of login name, and authentication server rejects your internet request because of bad login. So you have two options:
1. Ask your carrier to activate "authentication override" in the network - but I don't think that they'll do it because of one complaint
2. Search for a file named “pppd-ril.options” in /system/etc/ppp/peers and open it with text editor. There are two fields in this file:
user [email protected]
password NotUsed
You should just delete user and password values, so the text should be:
user
password
Don't touch other lines. Also you should be root for it.
Hope it helps.

Thanks. That really was the point. However even I got root I could modify but not safe that file. Every text editor came back with a write error. So I went to Settings-Wireless-Mobile Networks-Access Point Names and created a new APN instead of using the APN given there. I then selected the new APN to be used. I guess that one does not hold the NotUsed entry mentioned above.
Once more thanks a lot
Btw: Any idea why I cannot modify the original file?
Nice that it works
I also had problems with saving... finally, after a lot of headaches SUFBS file manager helped - you can mount system as read-write there.
This is also solution on Atrix 4G/MB860 on AT&T stock fruitcake 4.5.145

I have tried lots of times to set up my XDA to get picture messages. I has never worked. I can surf the net, and get (but not send) e-mail(POP3).
Sometimes I have had an error message that says "Cannot connect with current connection, to change your connections press settings". If I press settings it goes to a page with: My ISP name and My work network.
As I have changed stuff sometimes, I can click download MMS and a yellow icon says receiving, and it stops!!!
I know someone will just say do a search.......but i have tried, the best settings I got were:
MMS
APN - general.t-mobile.uk
IP Address - 149.254.211.010
User Name - user
Password - one2one
URL - http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk
The first page of options in the MMS composer says
connect via: What goes here??
In the MMS composer setup there is no space for username or password, so where does it go??
Can someone explain the process in really simple step by step instructions , as just giving settings, and not explaing where to put them is not helpful for a dummy like me!!!
Thanks!
many operators require you dont make a connections like you did for the
gprs with all the same settings and use a different accesspoint name
often mms
and use that
i'm sure if you search excluding to the networking it forum and use the search string
Tmobile AND mms
you'll find some guides
the AND part mean that you will only get results which include both the search words
After further fiddling, I have found out I can send myself a MMS, just not get one from someone else.
Any tips?
Hello,
I'm completely lost, so sorry for the completely noob message. I just got an AT&T 8525 running Windows Mobile 5, and I used the unlocker on this site to unlock it. Worked great. But I still can't send or receive MMS messages from the phone. I use T-Mobile. I've fished through tons and tons of sites explaning the settings and how to set this up, but it's just not working for me.
If I go under "connections", I have a section thing that I made, called "T-Mobile GPRS". Under that, if go to "Manage existing connections", I hav eone called "T-Mo MMS1" that I made which uses Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) Access Point: wap.voicestream.com, no user name, no password, no domain. Then I did proxy settings Proxy server "216.155.165.050" and under Advanced I have the HTTP Proxy server as "216.155.165.050:8080". Then I go to start-messaging and hit "Menu-tools-options" and I click MMS then click the Servers tab where I named one "T-Mo MMS". Under this, the gateway is "216.155.165.050" Port "8080", server address "http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms", and connect via "T-Mobile GPRS". At this point, I keep reading that there should be some sort of "WAP" menu or something, but I don't have that. The only other thing I have there is "sending size limitation" which only lets me choose 600K.
When I go to send a picture message, it connects to the GPRS, but then just sits there "sending" it. But it never sends, and when I come back, there's a red X on my message saying that it never sent.
Could anyone please help me out or direct me to the right place/forum/thread for this type of problem? Thank you very much.
In the MMS section, you have to change the settings in the MMS options to use T-mobile MMS settings.
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm not quite sure what you mean. Could you elaborate?
-- Nick
replace 216.155.165.050 with 216.155.165.50.
The 050 is a mistake on the tmobile site.
That worked!
Thank you, Sandhawk! That was definitely the problem. I appreciate it
-- Nick
Ok, I'm having the same problem, but have followed all of the suggestions with no fix. I'm also on T-mobile, and get the "error synchronizing" message. I've tried all of the settings I could possibly find, but nothing is working. I'm using Schlap's 4.01 rom. Thanks.
Hello,
I have a G1 unlocked with the imei but after that I can't pass the google registration !
Is it possible to config the first launch with Wifi or does somebody have the configuration for france market (SFR)
I launch it with the safemode but i have the samescreen (google setup!!!)
i you have any idea????
thanks
You should be able to escape out of that and go back to it later.
Yeah, you should be able to get to Settings through Safe Mode, and then change the Network Settings to match those of your carrier.
You cannot pass the registration with safe mode. Its not even possible. As for the problem I have no idea because you need to connect to the internet to activate it. If you are trying to set up a new gmail account try setting it up on your computer first then try to log in.
first input carrier settings
Hi,
When you power on the device, and you get to the details screen for your account, press "Menu", then add APN.
Give it your carriers name, input APN, + the other details relative to your carrier and don't forget the MCC and MNC codes in the bottom of that list.
Once you've done that, press menu again and save the configuration.
If you have GPRS and/or 3G activated on your SIM, you should be able to run thru the setup and it should finish by syncing your account from Google.
Now, if you don't have a data plan, but are able to access internet with that SIM, my advise would be to clean up Google mail and contacts so it needs to sync as little data possible.
After that, you can activate WIFI and sync using WIFI.
Hope this helps you out a bit.
Found this on Wikipedia, too. List of all the MNC and MCC codes worldwide:
MNC
MCC
thanx charley it worked perfectly

A man make his G1 works on SFR french network deleting all preconfigurated APNs and adding only WebSFR or WapSFR.
You can see the method he used in French on my blog here
yay! G1 in Finland
Thanks Charleybrown00! Your instructions worked perfectly!
Firstly, my apologies for even being on this forum as I'm a complete novice but I was directed to this thread.
As I live in Sydney, Australia and I'm in the process of buying a G1 from eBay, I've been searching for how to register it and I've found the following APN info for Optus
GPRS APN: - internet
Username: - {blank}
Password: - {blank}
DNS: - 202.139.83.3, 192.65.91.129
http://www.decoder.com.au/2008/10/03/optus-australia-apn-settings/
Could you please advise me if as I don't use IM and will be using Gmail for my mail, is this sufficient info to register the G1.
Thanks
Darryl
I've searched all the 3 Android devices forum's and came up empty handed, so please let me know if a topic like this one already exists.
I've seen lots of people complaining the ROM they just installed didn't have data connection active, most of them don't realize they can/have to edit the APN list manually to have a data connection.
As some probably know, these APNs are all defined in a file called apns-conf.xml inside the /system/etc/ folder in your phone. The file can have all the APNs we want and I thought it would be useful to have a "mostly complete" list of the APNs from the cell phone companies all over the world to be included in the ROMs cooked around the XDA forums, this would make life easier for everyone who installs a new ROM.
With that in mind I started compiling an apns-conf.xml file. The file is based on CyanogenMOD's apns-conf.xml file (which seemed very complete to me) and then I added some other APNs I found on other ROM's apns-conf.xml.
The resulting file can be viewed and edited (using Google Docs) in the following link:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AZNbAmKkmakoZGZxZHNwMnpfMjJkaHg3ejN3eg&hl=en
What I'm proposing is that everyone interested checks out the file and corrects or adds their operator's/country's APN lists. That way we can incrementally build a "complete" APN list with the community effort.
Good idea. Wist that ROM creators would use this list.
Bump for visibility!
I find it weird that only one person found this idea interesting and helped out. Thanks btw woo456

That website is probably created after running the apns-conf.xml file through a XML parser, and I'm pretty sure it is using the apns-conf.xml file from this thread. But it's not the same thing, the apns-conf.xml file is for use with ROMs or to push into the device, that website shows the file in a readable format making it easy to add manually to the phone.
@Roy_Drage: It's not hard to add to the file, but I'll add that one.

Indeed it is. I whipped that page up to make a slightly more human-readable APN list than a raw XML file. And yep, it uses your list.
I proposed a fix for SFR APN. Here in France we can get different APN depending if we bought the "Full Internet" option or not. With "Full Internet", we use a different APN "sl2sfr" which don't use a proxy. Without this option we have to use "wapsfr" APN which is filtered.
Good to see some people interested in this
uk vodafone
i have a uk vodafone contract and backed up my details i noticed your vodafone contract apn said apn="wap.vodafone.co.uk" but should actually be apn="wap.vodafone.co.ukapndroid" so i have edited it accordingly , great idea by the way always scared i lose that bit of paper

The apn field you edited was correct. The "apndroid" you had at the end of yours was put there by an app you used called APNdroid. It is used to disable/enable data connection on the phone, it works by changing the APN field by adding "apndroid" at the end, making the phone unable to connect.
Added some apns for the Swedish operators. Hope its correct.

Keep up the good work !
D.
yeh i ran into a similar problem with the APN, found this link- its rather long but it has quite a few apns, just CTRL+F3 and find your APN.
hope it helps
http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/apns.php
wow this is really interesting. bumping to hopefully gain more ground on it
This is probably a stupid question but the there server area when it indicates "*" does this mean you are suppose to put in the asterisk there?
Sorry and thanks for the help!

Some APNs require a specific value for the server, there are others that have asterisks. My operator, for example, uses asterisk. But to answer your question, if the Server field has an asterisk then yes, you have to put an asterisk in the server field when entering the APN data on the phone.
I edited the swedish tele2 APN.¨
I dont know if it makes any diffrence but the ip i have working in my phone had .030 at the end, this file had .30 maybe doesnt mather. Anyway, I also squeezed MMS and Internet settings togheter as there is no need for two APN for that.
Hope that is ok.
Hey everyone.
My mom recently acquired an unlocked focus flash, and she is trying to use it with tmobile, but she's unable to send or recieve MMS messages. We have tried a ton of different APN settings to no avail, and even tried going into a tmobile store to get the APNs. Nothing is working. I was hoping someone out there was able to get it to work using network manager when it was still working and is now able to provide me with what i need in order to get the mms working. I am not able to load up network manager, as it always comes up with an error stating to use wireless manager instead. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I had the same problem, this is what I did.
Go to the Marketplace, tap “Samsung Zone”, and download “Wireless Manager”
Once that’s installed, open the Wireless Manager app
Go to the “apn” screen, and tap “edit apn”
Push the “+” button at the bottom
Fill out the data as follows: (any fields that I didn’t mention should be left at the defaults)
APN Name: MMS
Profile Category: MMS
MMSC: http ://mms_msg_eng_t-mobile_com/mms/wapenc (Replace underscores with Periods, no space after http) *See Note*
APN:wap.voicestream.com
Auth type: none
Proxy address:216.155.165.50
Proxy port:8080
Click the checkmark button on the toolbar
*Note: When prompted that you cannot add any more characters in this field, simply add the next character, and each time you are prompted with the message, hit ok. But notice your character was still put in. You should be able to fit the entire thing now, but only one at a time.
