Hey all, today I unlocked a UK O2 HTC HD2 and I'm now using it with a T-Mobile SIM which is great - calls and texts are fine. However I cannot use my mobile data connection which (I think) is because I need another radio flashing. Is there any way of doing this through mAGLDR/cLK (as I don't have the original WP6.5 ROM and my laptop refuses to use the RUU to restore WP6.5 on my phone).
Also I'm not 100% certain that it's a radio issue as GPS, WiFi and other data connections work. I've downloaded T-Mobile's settings to use on the phone, too, which are currently installed.
I've searched for ages on this and I don't think another question like this exists, but if it does please just link me to it
Thanks in advance,
-Adam

Just going to check that out now. Thanks mate.
Update: Data is enabled. And my network operator is set to T-Mobile UK. Could it be another setting?
EDIT: Ok my phone just spontaneously changed its data symbol from R to H and I received an email! I guess that means my phone is fixed now. Thanks for the reply anyway and sorry for time wasting!

Lol, sometimes just opening a setting and then exiting "refreshes" the setting and android applies it. As long as you see that ther is an APN(which from your post was T-Mobile UK) then all should be well.

Is anyone in the same boat as me?
Previous phone = Iphone 3GS

Unlocked it (Remote code)
inserted official AT&T 3G sim card
phone is working but without data connection/MMS
Here is what you need. Just apply the cab and reboot.
Hope it helps, worked perfectly for me.

if someone could give a bit of help with this that would be incredible. I haven't been able to get it to work either.
thank you
if you plan on switching roms, the newer ones usually have the function built in to configure them according to what carrier you are on. I found that either Kumar's or NRG's roms work pretty well as I'm currently using Kumar's Lite WWE rom

Copy the cab file to your phone and then use file explorer to go to it and double click on it and run. I will agree with the post above, 99% of custom roms come with a connection setup that lets you choose ATT and it downloads the settings for you. Plus helps out the OS lol
I got the file installed but still no luck, any other ideas??
Media Net
I have installed the media net but it still doesn't work.
I did the same thing and the people at at&t told me that it want allow you to have data connetion through them. They were wrong. Call 1-866-449-8358, they will hook you up with the settings. You want have to download anything. Once you have a data connection it will show that you are connected to edge. But, it is 3g.
I got this figured out. go to settings/Wireless Control/Data Connection/Advance(tab on the bottom)/Selectnetworks/ and then change the both drop down bars to Media Net.
Don't forget to turn the Data Connection "on" in the wireless controls.
It worked just fine on my HD2
I used the cab file on the first page, installed and restarted. Mobile internet works fine, but I still can't receive MMS. The pics are the right size so I am lost as to where to go next. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanx.

Can you make sure these are the settings in your mms server info
Name AT&T MMS
Server Name....AT&T MMS
Ip Address....wireless.cingular.com
Port number...80
Server Address....http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect Via....Media Net
Message Size limit....600 (this is the max ATT will allow)
Wap Version....Wap 2.0
Thanks guys for all your help. Got it figured out. The problem was that I couldn't find where the heck to get to mms settings in the first place. Taken care of.

How can you be sure that HD2 will run on ATT 3g? alot of people are saying it probably won't have 3g, but you get an EDGE network... i really need to know this because i might switch to att from tmobile.
I am in between iPhone's (3GS-iPhone 4), but I have an HTC HD2 T-Mobile USA version as a secondary phone. I returned my 3GS (which I just recently upgraded to after losing my 3G iPhone) so I could be eligible for the upgrade price on the iPhone 4 and I only have the HD2 right now (love the phone by the way). Anyway....
Quick question: I tried applying MEdia Net/MMS Settings both manually and with the cab file, but I cannot seem to get data working on my HD2. My AT&T account is not on Media Net it is on the iPhone data plan, so could that be the reason why I cannot get data to work on my HD2?
I tried figuring out the problem on my own but I'm obviously not getting it done...thx for the help.
p.s. The HD2 is running on stock software. I have not applied any roms or hacks to it.
OS: 5.2.21892
ROM: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Sense: 2.5.20121412

Funny, I'm in the same situation! I sold my iPhone yesterday in prep for the iPhone 4 and got the HTC HD2 from T-Mobile to use for a couple of weeks (also got it unlocked by them the next day!).
After installing the .cab file, reboot your phone then go and change your data settings in the HD2. I'm on the iPhone data plan with AT&T as well and everything thing seems to be working fine.

The T-Mobile HD2 will not work on AT&T's 3G bands, period...only edge. You'll have to get the Australian (Telstra) model to be able to use AT&T 3G.
Choosing baseband
Interesting because in Phone Settings there is the option of choosing your baseband between AT&T's or T-Mobile's or to put it on Auto. I just chose Auto to be safe as I'm using an AT&T sim.
On hold with HTC Support so I'll shortly know definitely.
Thanks

It worked perfectly.. I will now keep the phone. If I couldn't get it to work I was going to sell the phone. But now I am glad I kept it.. Thanks again..
Hi:
I am using AmeriCanAndroid AOSPHD2GB232CM7RC1|bkup2sdext234[KERNEL:AmCanAndroid r2.21] and just about everything works perfectly.
The only issue I seem to have is in Android, I cannot use the mobile phone to get internet. The Phone sends and receives call perfectly, but if I want to use Market or the browser, I get the error:
A NETWORK ERROR HAS OCCURED. rETRY OR cANCEL AND RETURN TO PREVIOUS SCREEN.
I think I have tried every combination of settings in the wireless section. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Chaz
the only known temp(!) fix is to restart ur phone , given ur settings are correct it should work for a while .... have you been switching data on/off a few times? thats when it happens to me ....
be sure to report this problem to rom cooker so it gets fixed faster ...
When you say restart, do you mean restart android? I don't think I have ever been connected, unless there was WIFI in the area.
I use this ROM without these problems.
Try to check the apn and the DNS. Have a look at the faq.

And : there is a TMobile US and a standard version.
Do you use the right one?

having same problem... only wifi works
I'm using the Telstra version. Could that be it?
same problem!!
i have the same problem but im using HD2Froyo_V2.1.7z.
everything works perfectly fine except for my data connection.
the only way i can use the internet is via wifi
No data connection
Yes I also has the same problem. Please let me know if you find a solution. Wifi works fine on my HD2 after flashing to Anroid 2.2 Bur no data connection through phone connection.
Thanks,
Mathew
No Data connection
I am have the same problem on my phone also. Have the T-Mobile phone using the ATT system. Have tried several different roms and still cannot get a Data connection. A lot of us need some help please. If anyone can shed light on this, please let us know.
call t-mobile
i called t-mobile and told them, i could only connect to the internet via wifi. i pay for data and i cant connect unless its through wifi. DO NOT mention that you flashed your phone, put a different ROM or Android.
After doing this my internet started to work again
hopes this helps
do you set your APN?
May I ask what you told TMO?
I read in an older post that you may have to switch from smartphone data plan to android data plan to connect to the internet, does anyone have any idea about this??
I also am curious if my build is synonymous with failed data connection... as well as (not related item) battery sucking....???or any other know issues as I seem to misplaced the page I downloaded it from...
Just wondering if anyone using the latest Cm7 is having problems regarding the auto network switching from T-Mobile to orange and back,using the cm suggested radio. Thanx
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
No problems here. Infact, with the latest radio, At home I have switched from a poor T-Mobile reception to a decent "Orange - T-Mobile" one.
What radio u using? Does go back to T-Mobile easily?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I had problems too. Had to stop phone switching and stay on orange..
All ok here (both original radio and as per my sig).
Been using it on CM7 since day one without any issues whatsoever. What exactly are problems you are having?
Regards.
When it switch to orange it takes long time to go back to T-Mobile .
I can be driving and stays on orange until I manually change back to T-Mobile. Or sometimes it need a reboot.
If stay on orange I get no data, just calling.

Have you tried selecting the Data whilst roaming option? Works for me and I get data on "both" networks.
Also, try selecting T-Mobile as the Default network (to help it go back to T-Mobile)
All found under settings menu.
No problems here. I'm on T-Mobile. Sometimes flicks over to 'T-Mobile Orange', but I don't lose data. Make sure you have both 'Data roaming' and 'National data roaming' enabled (Settings>Wireless & network settings>Mobile networks).
Same here, no issues at all but you need to make sure data roaming is allowed, the transition is seamless and to be honest I rarely notice that it's even changed networks

Am on orange myself, and really come to hate the network since tmob and orange merged! Not onlyinternet, but also at times no one can call me. My phone says 3-4 bars, but orange somehow, at times, dont let anyone get thru me.
My complaints went nowhere, and waiting for my contract to finish to leave them!
Ok what i done is select manually either GSM ONLY or Orange - T-Mob. I've realised that manually selecting GSM on both instances (orange or orng-tmob) keep me 'alive' and people can call me...
Got the same issues with stock, several other custom roms/radio. For my case, its orange network that became crap (used to be perfect before, and used to enjoy a strong and steady 'H')...
try them, also call orange EACH AND EVERYTIME you experiencing issues. and also make sure they record ur complaints on their system(am goin to ask for a discount on my line later)!

funny you should say that, my wifes iPhone on Orange has the same issue, even seems to swap to weak t-mob signal instead of full strength Orange, had to kill the auto selecting network to fix it. Now I'm on t-mobile and find the network share a boon!

Hey,
Got an HTC HD2 booted to Android with this build http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954030 and now my 3G won't work. Even after reconfiguring my Wireless Network Settings and APNs it still doesn't work, but if i change my phone back to WinMo my 3G works. If I boot it back to Android it wont work
hope you guys can help me out
**EDIT**
Got my phone from US but I live in the Philippines so maybe it has something to do with my Wireless Service Provider?
have you got the correct apn settings for your provider?
yeah, I even called my provider for the settings but it still doesn't work

still need help with this issue
Good morning,
I’m a complete Noob and I mean complete Noob when it comes to this stuff. I just in stalled WP7 last night on my HD2 and everything works fine except being able to connect to my 3G data connection. The Wifi works fine and as of right now, that’s the only way I can send and receive emails and surf the web. I double checked to make sure the data connection was on, and it is. I saw something called APN which I never seen before. Is this required? I had to switch back to my Dash 3G for work purposes (I must receive emails from clients) and the data connection is fine. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
