Hello,
I've got a head unit some weeks ago, which is running an astar_d7 chip. I've uploaded a picture showing the "about this device" screen.
I've also got a 3G dongle for that device, which is working (somehow). My problem is with the apn settings.
When the device is on and I connect the dongle everything is fine. It loads the correct apn settings for my sim card. If I then restart the device, letting the dongle connected, it loads a chinese apn (called "China Unicom 3G") instead of the one for my sim card. This apn is basically working so I would say it's fine, but I use Here WeGo as navigation software, which then keeps closing, because it's blocked for china. Also my setting for google location history gets disabled, because that also is disabled for china.
I couldn't find a way to make the device save the correct apn. I've contacted the dealer, but they couldn't help me with that.
Someone here got a similar problem and/or maybe a solution?
Thank you
No one having the same or a similar problem?

cant anyone help me out with this? i went through the AT&T fuze tutorial online yet it still cant connect.
i dont think its because my device is a -82 vs the newer -85 is it? i got this phone with the understanding that the -82 will work but not at full 3g speed. thanks!
ive downloaded/installed the proxy patch 2.1 and att wat medianet and mms cabs...to no avail
Is the phone running a stock HTC ROM? If so, just run the HTC Connection Setup Wizard from Start -> Settings -> Connections. It will detect your AT&T SIM, and configure the MEdia Net connection correctly.
Oh, and moving out of ROM Development.
yea i have that set with wap.cingular access point and it cant connect still....no usernames or passwords or domains.

When you look at the advanced setting of the connection it created, make sure that under Proxy Settings only "This network connects to the Internet" is checked. "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" should be unchecked.
I've used the T8282 on ATT and am currently using T8285. Both worked without a problem. Is the phone detecting your sim card? Is ATT network set-up, but your just showing now service? Look at your phone settings and check to see if a band has been selected ie GSM 1900/2100, auto etc. I don't recall the stock rom as well, haven't used it in 6 months, but if I recall, go to settings tab in manila, select the phone, wifi, internet etc. option, then select phone. You should find an option that says change band. Select it and see what band your phone is set to. If anything, check auto, and see what happens.

if it doesnt detect the sim card i wouldnt be able to call right? i can call. phone functions fine (cant send txt messages though for some reason but can receive).
im looking under settings > phone
Current network: AT&T Wireless
network selection: automatic
band: both network and GSM/UMTS set to auto
Did you say above that there was no username or password set in the settings->connections->connections? In other words the required username and Pass of Medianet?
yes those fields are left blank as per atts support page i linked
Go ahead and select "manage connections" under Media Net. On the next screen choose edit and go through until you can add the user and pass
All caps
Username: [email protected]
Pass: CINGULAR1
I had to fill these in manually when I first received my T8285. My data worked thereafter.
You're configuring your unlocked HD via the set up of a carrier based ATT Fuze. I think may be some of the problem. I configured the settings on mine seemingly a hundred times, but never in the manner suggested by the linked support page.
yea i was reading that and just checked this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447648
and did what you said....no luck
tried [email protected] and [email protected] too
this is stupid. haha shoudltn be this hard. thanks for all the support, i appreciate it
lady at att did say this plan took effective 1.5 weeks ago so even though i called in today to change my plan to a data one...it should be working...
probably be easier if i could screenshot my phone....
Mine is [email protected]. Out of curiosity, did you input it in "all caps"?
yep tried:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
my sim card is really old...can that be a problem??
phone should be "dialing" wap.cingular correct?
i wonder if there are problems with my phone because i cant send text messages either and if i go to settings > phone > services tab > voice mail and text messages.... it cant get any info from the network...
Yes indeed. Mine is two years old. Some that still have the cingular card have had issues. I guess the quickest way to find out is pop someone else's sim in to see if it configures your setting properly. When you go through set up initially, your ATT settings should be populated automatically. I'd like to see you get this working.
well my sim card is way beyond that. it was before att changed their name to cingular (and apparently back to att again now). got it when i got the sony ericsson t610 when it was first released...2003???
i wonder if this truly is the problem and i wonder if i take it into a store will they help me out since i have an unsupported phone.
phone when i got it new was able to call right away when i first got it and first popped in this oldie sim...so as far as settings are concerned, its working in that aspect
A sim that old could most certainly be the problem. ATT should support you. If it's the sim, then it's a service related issue and not an issue with the device. It may be that you just run by att and have them pop one of theirs' in and see. Another thought, after inputing the username and Pass, are you soft resetting?
I've used this cab on some devices (e.g. xperia) to get the AT&T data to work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=67434&d=1201326345
see if that helps for you. I believe it's designed for the Tilt but shouldn't do any harm on your HD...
ok i finally figured this out after going to the att store. it turns out it was indeed my sim card that was keeping me from sending text messages (back in this old thread i started http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515288&highlight=send+text+messages).
the online issue was due to 2 things. the att lady told me she had added a data plan but turns out when i went to the store the dude there checked and there was no data plan. second was again because of the old sim card.
my sim card was from back in the days of the sony ericsson t610 back in 2003 before att became cingular (and now back to att again).
so hopefully this thread can be future reference for others that may have trouble with their blackstone! woohoo!! i am connected now. feels good to have internet everywhere i go.
I havnt activated the Live services yet but does that stop the data connection. i have singal etc but cannot get onto websites etc. If im connected to wireless then it works fine.
Im on orange and have my APN details all blank wich is what i gather is needed.
My questions is, is there something i havnt done or do you have to activate live services before your data connection will work.
I started using WP7 without Live services, too. But I didn´t face your problem.
Maybe it´s still an APN setting issue.
Am i right in thinking that for Orange UK the APN fields are all blank ?
I may be wrong
I briefly checked a setting info page. It said the name for the APN is orangeinternet, user and password empty.
Ok cool i will try that, i'll give me phone a reboot just to make sure as well.
Hmm ok that didnt work either
I had the same problem tommy but just put orangeinternet in apn name & left the other 2 blank. It worked! like the chap above us said. Thanks!
Hello so as stated above for some reason i have an x below my signal bar but it still says lte but not connection, ive tried the following, remove sim and put it back in (both with the phone off and on), checked my apns which i never had to mess with before (which i didnt have this issue yesterday just saw it when i got to work which i usually have lte signal), turn on and off airplane mode, turn off and on mobile data, ive tried every fix i could think of so far with none of them working.. my cell service is been paid and i checked my straight talk account to make sure, but now comes the weird part when im connected to wifi and pull down the quick toggles it shows no x under the lte (see screenshot below) does anyone know how to fix this issue i rely on my lte data for directions and gps at work.
Phone info:
Android 8.1 beta opp5 rooted
Thanks to anyone that can help!
I am having this same issue as of this morning, and I am on the Straighttalk AT&T network. I wonder if they just updated their APN network and our APN settings need to be updated too? If so, I'm not sure what settings to use.. using the straight talk website and selecting "Android 4.0" (the newest version listed), it shows the settings I'm currently using. Anyone else having/resolved this issue?

Borrow a (different carrier) SIM from a friend to see if it is a network issue. If the LTE works on that SIM, go to ST and have them provision another SIM for you (free). If the LTE still doesn't work, back your phone up, wipe it, flash a full image.

I called STW tech support, and they told me I had the wrong APN... I updated my APN settings (but really it was nothing other than changing the ID, so I don't think it had any real effect) and still had no data. After checking downdetector.com, it appears there is a widescale data outage with straight talk (or more specifically, AT&T). One of the commenters stated the following:
"I can confirm the issue is DNS. If you have the ability to changes the DNS on your phone, you can restore service. If you have Android + Root, I used DNS Override successfully. Just set DNS Servers to Google's"
I just used DNS Override ($2 app) to set my DNS servers to Google's and that resolved my issue. Hope that helps. If you don't want to spend $2, there are some free apps that also will change the DNS servers for you, and there are other methods detailed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...ide-how-to-change-dns-android-device-t3273769
Update: earlier that day ot seemed to resolve itself while i was driving at work amd got to my destination which was about an hour away and once i looked at my phone ot no longer had the x and had full service amd working lte so idk maybe it was cell tower maintenence but don't know for sure but the issue hasn't happened again tho but thanks for everyone for the help and suggestion!
I have an Erisin 6046B HU in my BWW e46. I got the 3G dongle from Erisin when I bought the HU which connects via USB, and then used a SIM from iD Network in that.
It all worked perfectly yesterday - I was downloading apps and browsing in the car. But today - no network connection. Weirdly, there's no settings in the unit about mobile network - unless you use the search function and search 'network' - there you can access the network settings but its all greyed out. What I could do, was reset the network settings. But this didn't help.
I checked the SIM online and I still have plenty of data left, and iD say the SIM is active.
I'm wondering if its anything to do with me installing a dialler app (Drupe) and trying to make a call with it? I just wanted to see if that would work, out of interest - but it seemed to do something to the unit when it dialled. Afterwards the DAB app was completely silent, and only started working again today. Could I have broken the unit somehow by trying to dial out from a dialler app?!
I'm thinking the obvious step is to factory reset it.. which is annoying as I've just got it all set up perfectly!
Any other ideas?

Thanks, but I'm not tethering. The SIM is directly in the unit and was working as a normal sim. I'm not tethering at all.
And if it was that, why would it work for a day just fine?
My wife just got in her Essential phone and is on Consumer Cellular, she is having an issue receiving MMS from her friends, as it always says "Pending download". She turned off wi-fi (I saw this in another thread) but it still won't work (although mine come thru just fine). I know this is an APN issue as she just put the card in and went to town but she doesn't have the option to change the APN settings. How can we change the settings?
We figured it out, just had to "Clear network settings" and the APN's opened up for editing. Entered the data and restarted, works like a charm.
Essential phone
Hi, I've also got an essential phone and also use consumer Cellular, but I can't get my sim card to work in the essential phone. I've contacted the previous carrier, Sprint, and the phone is unlocked, and I've contacted consumer Cellular but nobody seems to know exactly what's going on with my phone. Did you have any problems like this? Can you help me at all?
Thanks
