Without Data Plan

Hello all!
I just received my beautiful phone this morning, and even though it has been a little confusing to get everything going, I'm so far LOVING the experience. I have one question though:
can this phone work without a data plan?
I got it off ebay and although i paid a high amount for it, it is still T-Mobile locked. It was working just fine and dandy with just the wi-fi in my house and school (3g !!) but after I flashed co0kie ROM on it, nothing requiring data works anymore :/ Any insight would be appreciated. I was using something called "Web GoGo" or something which I can't find on this new ROM, so ?

The phone will work with out a data plan. You said you flashed a new rom, did you make sure to reset up your wifi profiles from your house and school? I've done that before you might just need to go into the com manager and make sure its connected to wifi. If its connected to wifi it should work.

It was connected to both WiFi networks and when I tried to get onto either Internet Explorer or Opera 10, they both showed that "Upsell" message that I needed to subscribe to a data plan :[

It happens, sometimes I forget that I recently flashed a new rom and didn't set up my wifi or bluetooth. Then I wonder why it doesn't work lol.

No internet access while in call

Ive just noticed that whenever i am in a call i loose internet connection, even on the phone itself. I first noticed a few weeks ago that it happend when tethered to my pc, but today i tried to go on the internet on the phone itself while in a call, no go doesnt work.
Ive also noticed that when i recieve an mms that if im connected to the internet it tells me that to recieve an mms it has to close the current connection.
whats the deal? on my last phone (g1) i never had this problem, connected to the internet 24/7 and would be able to access the net while in call and recieve/send mms withouth having to close internet.
Ive tried several roms, happens with the stock radio aswell. Im running a us radio at the moment with 576mb ram patch

Network limitations. You have to have a 3G connection. That's why AT&T, in those ads, tout that you can surf the web and talk on the phone at the same time when compared to Verizon. If you do have a 3G connection, though, then that's a good question.

Im on the same network as when i had the tmobile g1, same price plan. Right now my phone says im connected to hsdpa but if i get a phone call, ill not be able to use the internet while in call.,
strange.
I want to change back to a UK radio, trouble is, i run linux and dont have access to a windows machine that i can setup activesync on.

it depends on the chef that makes the rom... i had somthg similar with previous versions of OzROMs... now that is solved... just tell that to the chef that made your rom...
if on 3G you should have phone and date in the same time... on edge/gprs.. not....

you dont need a pc to change radio, you can flash it from sd just as you would flash a cooked rom. Rename the Radio to LEOIMG.nbh and place it on the root folder of your sd. Then you reboot your phone and keep the volume down button pressed to enter the bootloader which will see the rom and ask if it shall begin flash. here you press the power button and it gets flashed. Now that wasnt so hard now was it?

thanks ill flash back the a uk radio and see if that helsp. the only reply i got in the energy rom thread was saying that its standard wiith the hd2

flashed 20.10.50.08_2 radio and im now able to access internet while in a call

[Q] Edge data connection

I just got my DHD yesterday and I'm having a problem getting a GSM data connection. Where I live only Edge is available and when I turn on the mobile networks it won't make a data connection. Before I got this phone I had a HD2 that I was running Android on and I noticed only about half of the builds would have a working Edge data connection, if I knew what the difference was maybe I would know better what to do here. Any suggestions?

I found the answer, all I needed to do was make a new APN and point it to my carrier's URL. In Thailand for AIS it was www.ais.co.th if anyone else is having a similar problem.

maybe the settings not right form your provider. was running hd2 before as well but on wm. i just put the sim in my dhd and it asked me to configure everything automaticly. clicked yes and everything works, even mms works without any manual config. was pretty hard on my hd2 to get it to work.

[Q] No Data connections via Phone in Android

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...

[Q] HD2 Nand Android Radio Issue

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.
