Rogers 3G setting on SoftBank X01HT

hi i have a softbank X01HT running on WM5. and today i was going to go get the Rogers 3G plan so i planned to tried it out to see if it worked in the store first before getting the plan. so when i inserted the store's HSPDA sim card into my phone and have the carrier's samsung 3G phone call me using the video to see if it works or not. but it couldnt connect the call for some reason. so the sales told me that my setting might not be correct on my phone. so i want to know if anyone has tried using rogers 3G on the softbank before and what settings do u need to do on it.
my internet setting and stuff works cuz i can check my email and go on the internet using GPRS. and all my network settings are on auto. so i dont see why it didnt work in the store. if anyone has any ideas please help me. cuz im trying to get this thing set up before the 3G pricing goes up. thanks alot for the help.

so i guess no one knows then

Use T-mobile Htc Hd2 On AT&T 3G Network?

Hi guys, i have already searched the forums and cant find anything related to my title. Basically i would like to know if i could use my hd2 on at&t 3g network and how can i do it. I know i can unlock my hd2 by asking t-mobile but would it work on at&t? Thanks in advance

yeah it works on at&t network but not as 3g. It gets E which is the edge. If you search the forum there's a cab file that will program the phone so you can use data connection with at&t network. I got my phone unlocked via tmobile and have been using it with at&t for a couple weeks now without any problems.

SO you are basically saying that i can do anything i can already do with the phone on t mobile on at&t but except have 3g? So i would have to use edge as my data connection for internet? And how does sms work? Any settings to change to get it to work?

Install this cab file, its all you need to do

These are the att settings everything will just work
on att, you can use gprs/edge , but of course no 3g

You have to have T-Mobile account to get the HD2....they don't sell them unlocked... after 40 days of use on a t-mobile account, t-mobile customer service will provide youw ith an unlock code, not before...

I'm wondering, if the radio can be flashed to support AT&T 3G band, or components are different...

No, can't be flashed to work on AT&T 3G. You would have to get the Australian Telstra 9193 model which uses the 850 band that AT&T uses. That's the only way to use AT&Ts 3G with the HD2. The bands are set in the hardware.

how did you get the unlock code from t-mobile before 40 days of activation. That is what they told me when i asked for the unlock code. could you please share the secret....

this is incorrect. anyone can get the hd2 without contracts @full price of 450 plus tax. they will also unlock it in 1 to 5 days if you paid full price.got mine from wirefly, and had it unlocked in 2 days.

I have an HD2 on AT&T and everything works, but not fine! If I am browsing the internet and the phone tries to update the weather or mail, really anything else that accesses data in the background it will stop my data connection everywhere. It seems the only way to fix this is a hard reset sometimes, at the very least I have to exit the browser, open the task manager, kill everything, and turn off the data connection in the wireless controls and turn the data back on... My questions to the others who are using this phone on AT&T are 1) are you experiencing the same problems? 2) What did you do to fix this. I have installed the above mentioned cab file for settings and I have also manually entered the settings. I would love the phone even though it only has EDGE except it cant hold a data connection for more than 10 minutes at a time.

Well due to the type of connection that EDGE is, you cannot be on the internet and talk on the phone at the same time. This would also go for all applications that use the data connection...only one at a time. This was the case on the pre-3G phones like the HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125).

The phone cannot and will not get 3G when used on the AT&T network, despite what your icons show...the hardware simply isn't capable. Period.

Bought my unlock code through ebay for $14.00 and had the phone unlocked in 20mins. HD2 works great now.

G = GPRS
E = EDGE
look them up on wikipedia if you want more info but.....
GRPS is older and slower than Edge, GRPS max speed in ideal conditions is somewhere i the upper double digits/ lower triple digits. You might be lucky to get into the 200kbps range with EDGE.
In the end both suck compared to being able to get tmobile's 3g signal which ive personally seen hit 5mbit/s here in tampa now that HSPA+ is deployed. Being able to get ATT's 3g might get you right around 1mbit if lucky. I dont know what if any plans ATT has for HSPA+ deployment

(edited url cause I can't post as a new user)
I used this .cab file and while I can browse the web, I can't seem to send MMS pictures using my AT&T sim, are there other settings I have to change?
EDIT: I found the answer here, after a bit more searching! Thanks all, forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6695081&postcount=13

I just bought the hd2 and planning on unlocking it to work on AT&T. I know that I will be getting Edge instead of 3g. But can someone plz explain to me how does it work as far as data plans and mms. Do i need to have a data plan to send mms or mms will be sent through edge. and as for data and web browsing , do i have to have a data plan or since when i go online i will be on edge so i dont need a data plan

[Q] Focus on T-mobile?

would the samsung focus work on tmobile network if i had the unlock code?
3G and all?
thanks i've searched online and didnt really find anything helpful

if you get the focus unlocked, it will work on tmobile, but you wont get the 3G speeds. Only EDGE, since the focus does not have the required HSPA frequencys used by tmobile.

thanks a lot, thats all i needed to know, Disappointed tho

Reviving this thread. So I have a Samsung Focus unlocked on Tmobile and I cannot get data to work. Any ideas on what could help? i have already added my apn of internet2.voicestream.com

Have you tried epc.tmobile.com

yes I have with no luck but thanks

in the usa depending where you are they either use epc.tmobile.com or wap.voicestream.com might try the network profile app too... i know samsung has addressed this issue and is in the process of fixing it to where when the unit is unlocked the settings from any gsm carrier will work... there is also a homebrew app somewhere that has worked with mixed results too...

ive tried those apns as well. thanks. and i tried the network profile app too any idea where i can get these homebrew apps?

probably in this forum or the wp dev forum here.....

Samsung Focus Unlock Code
I hope this isn't an issue, as I just ordered a Focus to replace my wife's v1 iPhone on T-mobile USA.
Anyone know a good place to get an unlock code?
The one on unlockcellphonecode.com/ is $45.00 which seems really high to me.

ATT Samsung Focus on Tmobile
To anyoe else thinking about getting a Focus to use on Tmobile USA network....
I can confirm everything is working and this is how I got it to work.
Everything works except obviously 3G because att and tmobile use different frequencies for 3G (until the merger at least) 2G works great though.
First thing you need to do is either get an unlock code from ATT (unlikey) or go to FastGSM.com and for 19.00 you can get your phone sim unlocked, so that your tmobile sim will work.
Now your phone works and my data was working out of the box as well.
However, you will not be able to send or recieve MMS messages.
To fix this, go to the market and clck on Samsung Apps, then install their Network Configuation app. Open the app and change network from ATT to Tmobile USA and now MMS will work perfectly.
Hope this info helps someone else.

WOWWWW I was searching to see if an unlocked ATT Focus with be able to MMS on T-Mobile US network. Thanks for the information.
I have a Focus and called ATT for unlock code. They said the unlock code will be provided after May 8th. So waiting for a month before I can use it on T-Mobile US.
My only concern was whether I would be able to send and receive picture messages. I hope your solution works next month!!

[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

Internet Connectivity Issue

Hey All I did a search on the forums for this but didn't see an answer so wanted to put this question out there.
My work allowed me to upgrade my work phone from the standard BB to a Samsung Vibrant. When I got the phone and put my T-Mobile SIM in, the phone worked but internet would not. I called support and found out that this was because my plan through work was for BB internet not Android. The same SIM chip works fine in a Nexus One that I have. I get internet access and everything.
So I thought that maybe if I get my Vibrant unlocked then I would be able to bypass that BB Internet plan requirement. Through my work we got the unlock code from T-Mobile. The unlocked, rooted Vibrant running CM 7 still won't connect to the internet.
is there anyway I can get internet connectivity on the Vibrant, other than asking T-Mobile to change the plan?
Thank you in Advance.

You can try changing the APN under Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
although, I don't know what APN your plan uses.. you can research and find what APN your plan uses and it SHOULD work if you enter the right one...
But don't take my word for this. I can be wrong!
Btw, in the APN menu, is there anything there already?

Make sure u save the apn when done. Dont just exit out
