Internet Dialing option missing - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I have been looking for the Internet dialing option but can't find it. I used to be in almost all other version of Android since 4.1. Was a setting in the dialer. But I can't find it. Does anyone know how to get this back. I am on the latest MK2 stock.
Thank you.

GPRS ??? and better phone dialer software... 8125

Hey all. This forum is a wealth of knowledge.
I am however confused about GPRS. I've seen a lot of utilities to manage it, but I'm not sure what it's for. I mean I know it's another way of connecting to the cell towers, but why utilities to manage it? Is there a benefit to using it. Should I use it all the time. Should I get one of the utilities to manage it?
Second, I'm looking for a better phone dialer. I've tried my version of Agenda Fusion and it's way too complicated. The default Contacts is a little shallow. I'd like to find a piece of software that makes it easy to go to my contacts, enter a first letter to search by, then select whether I want to call the person cell or home. Any ideas? TIA

Scroll wheel dialing broke after latest HTC ROM

I'm not sure how to search for my problem. I really dont even know what my problem would be called. Anyway, before I upgraded to the latest HTC ROM (that one that came out yesterday, officially) i could start the phone app, scroll my wheel up and that would show me my recent calls. if I scrolled the wheel down, i would get a list of speed dials. Now, i dont geth anything with the wheel. Any ideas what has happened? I have installed SPB mobile phone suite if that helps. That and the VC 1.6.
Thanks for any help,
Jason

There is a fix for this you will have to search for it but the cab file name is HTC_Smartdialer2.5.CAB
I no longer have it but if you google it you sould find it and the other cab that needs to be loaded for it to work.
Try these links

Thank you for the link. I tried the above mentioned cab. I didn't realize that the missing function was actually called "Smart Dialer".... this didn't fix it either. I ended up HARD resetting. I didn't install anything at all and the smart dialer was working. I was wrong to blame the new ROM. I'm not sure if SPB mobile phone suite did it or the VC. I am going to install stuff back one by one checking the dialer after each install. Hopefully, it wont mess up again. or, at least if it does, i should be able to isolate it and fix it.
Thanks again,
Jason
found my problem... the PTTfix broke the smart dialer on the new ROM that was released on HTC's site yesterday. Hopefully the bug will be squashed shortly.

Calling from contacts list

This maybe a dumb question but how do you make a phone call from the contacts list ? I go to the contact I want to call, and when I tap call home or call mobile nothing happens. If I tap send txt or email, that works fine. the only way I can make a call is to either manually type the number in, or if I go to my contact, then tap menu, and tap video call then it will make the phone call.
Thanks in advance for any feedback
I had this on one of the ROMs I was trying. Sorry I can't remember which one it was. Now on Dutty's W6.5 R14 and it works fine.
Cheers
Dazza
thanks for the feedback . I noticed there's a 6.5R14 turbo and a 6.5R14(MSVC) I know the MSVC has voice command, what's in the turbo version ?

Supposedly faster than previous roms, so Throy called it Turbo. Rom doesn't have MSVC and a few other apps on previous versions aren't installed
It's the R14 Turbo one (non-MSVC) that I'm currently using. Calls from contacts list works fine!
Cheers
Dazza
This function should work from most if not all roms, so I wouldn't jump in head first and flash a rom. First ask in rom thread for a solution, and then if you want to flash a rom, choose one which best suits you. Throys R14 rom is a very old rom now and there is much improved bersions available
I am using the WM dialer, and have the same problem. which contacts list? via the contacts tab on touchflo, or start menu>contacts?
The workaround is to use the latter...

R14 only came out on September 19th, so it's not that old. Unless you mean the original ROM it's based on?? I've tried lots of different ROMs and it's not really lacking in anything that's in other stuff. Works for me anyway, like the Leo ones too, but didn't find them as stable.
Like you say though, best to find whatever suits you best.

Sorry if i ask on this post but i made a lot of search to get this when i travel i have problem when call someone i have to edit country codes of all my contacts, so it must be something done for calling out of country without editing every time the country codes.
So is anyone knows how to make that

[Q] Requesting help with HTC HD2 WinMo7 on TMO network

I have looked but I haven't found what I'm looking for. I was able to successfully install WinMo7 on my HD2, but I didn't have the data capabilities outside of a WIFI hotspot. Is there APN info that I have to input into the phone? Do I have to change my data package? I liked WinMo7, but I had to downgrade back to 6.5 just to get my data package working. Can anyone either help or point me in the right direction?

Firstly, its not Windows Mobile, Its Windows Phone.
Second, You didnt downgrade to 6.5, You just installed a different OS. Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 are 2 completley different OS's from ground up.
Third, Sorry cant help. It just works out of box for me. Your carrier should automatically give the phone its APN settings.

I had that problem initially as well. Then I found the HTC Connection Setup tool in the apps list (it was already preinstalled/cooked-in). Just run that tool and it will make the changes needed for data to work.

Oh cool!!! Where did you go to get your ROM? Can you get me the link? I would really appreciate it.
no data for me too on t-mobile network
I am also having the same problem, that is I have installed at least 4 different WP7 roms and with all of them I get no data or mms messages to work. I have used the HTC connection on all of the roms and still no success. I have ICS on the sd card and I get data and mms messages with ICS, so it has to be something in the roms or radios (software or hardware) or something else that I am missing. If someone knows the answer please help us. I have been working on this for about 2 weeks now. Thanks in adance.
I am using the HTC HD2 Leo, euro, not HTC Tmous.

any of the wp7 roms work out of the box. apparently you found a rom to flash to begin with. htc connection setup is on the htc marketplace.
i suggest reading up on windows phone so you know what you're asking and doing.

ATIV SE

I broke my interop unlocked Ativ S. Instead of buying a new one I bought the Ativ SE from Amazon without a contract. I've read every post with "ATIV SE" in it and searched the forum for hours looking to see if any progress has been made with the ATIV SE.
The phone came unlocked, however I can not receive MMS messages or turn on internet sharing with out using a friends Verizon sim card. I have T-Mobile service which is the source of my issues.
Fiddler works to install most other manufacture APPs. I did a stupid thing though and upgraded the phone to windows 8.1 because of Cortana. The Nokia Access point will not install.
Is there anything that can be done with the ATIV SE yet? A lot of post say "all Samsung devices" but pre-date the Ativ SE's release. I've contacted Microsoft, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Samsung trying to figure out the issue or get the phone flashed with a generic ROM but support only wants to point fingers at other companies and rush me off the phone.
Any information is welcome. I've tried customizing the APN settings every way I could and had T-Mobile resend correct setting countless times and still nothing. Verizon did something with the ROM to make it miserable to use on another carrier. I can get the diagnostic app to install but it seems like codes have changed from the Ativ S.
I spent hours trying to get the correct LTE settings for T-Mobile and 6 weeks of frustration makes me want to go buy another Ativ S.
I can't recommend anything besides wait awhile. No work has been done on the device as its specifically manufactured for Verizon.
I would attempt to call Samsung. Say you got an update from Verizon and the spinning gears won't stop spinning after 5 hours. I've heard that Samsung has offered onetime flashing, but I don't remember where.
Once you get a GDR3 version of the phone, try editing stuff inside diagnosis or APNs.
Did you ever get your problem solved with the MMS or internet sharing? Im in the same situation.
Any help is much appreaciated.
Have the mms and Internet Sharing ever been solved for the Ativ SE for WP8 and Official WP8.1? I would like to buy one to use for at&t if it is.

I've been trolling the forums for months off and on. So far there's been progress but after FINALLY being able to roll the device back to WP 8.0 GDR3 and upgrading to the "real" WP 8.1 it looks like Verizon has made things much more difficult. The APN settings are locked and hidden. I was able to get LTE data working again, but MMS and Internet sharing is FUBARed.
Maybe I can't follow directions, but it seems like every way to edit the registry has been patched after upgrading to Verizon's version of the OS.
Root Tool is available in the APP Store, but I can't get it to function.
The Registry Key information that needs editing is readily available on the forum, but I haven't found a functioning method to do so.
If anyone has been able to successfully edit the Registry on an ATIV SE please provide the info on how you did it!
I have no idea how to use the MBN creator either.
What I have figured out is:
1) Able to flash device back to stock
2) Side load unsigned developer apps
3) Find necessary lines in Registry to edit
If anyone has a modded image that works with WP8_Binary_Downloader_Ver._3.54.exe, or can help me put the last pieces of the puzzle together, that would be awesome!

So you're saying you were able to edit the APN for MMS on WP8 and it still didnt work but now with the official real WP8.1, the APN for MMS are hidden and can't even be edit anymore? Man that really sucks! I really like the phone too. Have you tried these

Yes. The Windows Insider APP was updated, so it closed that method of registry editing and Couldn't manage to get write access enabled for CustomPFD. If I could edit the registry the phone would be perfect.

Ok that make sense. So can you sent MMS still? I'm very close to buying this phone for at&t but without MMS and Internet Sharing, I might not, unless you or someone gets it solved. I wish I was a developer.
I tried it again for ****s and Giggles. I got tethering to work!
Am going to play with MMS next
Awesome job man! Keep it rolling. You just made me one more time closer to getting this phone ? Remember to write everything down ?
Root Tool works perfectly fine for me on an Ativ SE with 8.1.1. Unblock RPC by placing the txt file in the Documents folder, unlock your phone with WPPT, deploy the WPSystem unlocker xap, patch Root Tool using the provided instructions and a file explorer (I use Pocket File Manager, I've used others successfully as well), and then once you open the newly-patched Root Tool go to the install xap section, press install (without setting anything up), and it should say failed, but that's fine. Then you can use the included registry editors (the regular one and the Samsung-specific one) with dword and string values. Works fine for me, including interop unlock (but some deploy attempts result in capability errors because of the new security measures). Bootstrap works but not enableallsideloading (including the 2 versions posted later in the thread). All aesthetic changes work perfectly (small font/large screen, 5 action buttons, change model number, accent colors, etc). You can do pretty much anything you can do with an Ativ S, just remember you're slightly stifled by GDR3 and/or 8.1/8.1.1. Let me know if you have any questions or need help. With the small font/5 action button setup and the newest firmware, it's easily the best WP experience currently available. If we can figure out how to rotate the display 180 degrees, we can just enable the navigation bar (which works fine on the SE) and we'll not only have the usb port on top, but we'll also have access to 3 other buttons that can be remapped via the registry.
@tonbonz posted some info regarding using the SE with mbn creator:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60152150&postcount=56
I haven't attempted anything with this information yet, but I may later this week (possibly tonight), and I'll be sure to report the results when I do.
I'll be posting any info I get to this thread, so keep an eye on it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/development/research-reference-samsung-ativ-se-sm-t3044123
Also, in regards to the potential issue of new updates breaking exploits, I've found an update lineage that results in the latest OS (8.1.1, OTA) with the stock/GDR3 FW (including the gdr3 diagnosis app, which is different from the 8.1 version). That isn't necessary yet, but it may be in the future and we can always flash back to gdr3 to get there.
Hey G.moe, thanks for the info, so is your MMS & Internet Sharing working with your ATIV SE then?
I managed to get my Internet sharing and MMS working, except I when I recieve an MMS it says file no longer available on server. I think I missed a setting somewhere.
does anyone have any idea where to directly edit the MMS settings in the registry?
That's good to hear man! You're getting there. Your progress is making me a day closer to buying this phone ;D I hope G.Moe can help you out.
GTF696, any luck on the MMS working yet?

Hi. I am using Ativ SE in India, everything is fine but for data i am getting only 2g speeds
I can even launch field test, looks like its blocked
Kindly help me
I just recently purchased an Ativ SE for use on T-Mobile. Like many of you I have been scouring the web for the best solution for the MMS fix as well so it gives me hope to know that through the registry editing it seems you've made some significant headway GTF696. From what I've been coming across this does seem like the most likely way to get this going especially since Verizon has already been duped in this on other devices like the Lumia Icon. Also I've come across a few post that mention having solved the issue and want to know if any one can confirm the method. I'm a new user so I can't post link but if you search "[Q&A] [Research and Reference] Samsung ATIV SE (SM-W750V) – Research and Development Apktop" in google the first link is from someone saying their method on how they setup the registry to workaround the MMS issue. Hope this is actually helpful and useful for all of us and gets us a step closer to fixing this issue
it's not perfect but the ATIV SE, after registration editing, does 100% work on T-Mobile. Unfortunately Verizon had Samsung heavily modify the OS and remove features that allow for APN Modification. The Methods I used should work with any GSM carrier however what you specifically need to do will be carrier specific. If you search for ATIV SE on the forum you should be able to find everything needed. Unfortunately, while the ATIV SE is one of the best windows phones available it's under valued, under supported, and Verizon made it a pain in the ass to use unless it's on their network. I wouldn't recommend this device to anyone, not even Verizon customers, for that reason.
The general idea of what I did was wipe the phone phone, Flashed the original Rom, upgraded the device Over the Air, and then installed the registry editor and customized a few strings. All of which has been talked about in detail on other posts. You HAVE to have an SD card.
