Ok,here is my issue... I have a tilt on tmobile network, and everything works kosher, except MMS setting, i did get the setting from a post on this site not long ago. But i can not seem to get it to work.. I am using the $5.99/Tzones internet to surf around, that works out fine w/ all the setting! I am just stumped , maybe there is something that might be hidden or is it just because of the $5.99 hack on tmobile? I have called support, but they couldnt help me.. I hope someone out there has had my problem, and has some suggestion? thanks!

Hi everyone, I have a HD2 running Windows Phone 7 but I am having problems and I want to check with anyone on Giffgaff if they have the same problems.
I have my phone setup correctly and all the bars have been lifted by Giffgaff, my email works, I can watch Youtube fine and I can surf without fine and I can remote desktop to servers at work.
But the problem I have is I cant use XBox live and I cant download anything from the marketplace (I can browse the marketplace fine) I just get the dots across the top of the screen then after a minute or two it says there is a problem and to try later.
If I connect via WiFi then everything is fine and if I pop in my old Orange sim card and configure accordingly that works also. So I know there is nothing wrong my my Live account or my phone its something to do with Giffgaff.
So does anyone here have a WP7 phone on Giffgaff? does everything work for you?? I have tried on the Giffgaff forums but no luck. You guys are my last hope.
Thanks in advance.
Hi mate,
I have an Omnia 7 with a GiffGaff SIM in the phone and its running fine. Not sure why it wouldn't work on your considering you've got browsing and youtube working.
Anything you need me to check, give us a shout.
Cheers
Jas
Thanks Jazzyuk, did yours work straight off? did you have to configure Giffgaff manually and did you have to get anything changed on your account?
I ask because at first I could not access the marketplace at all and when Giffgaff lifted the adult bar I can browse the marketplace but not purchase anything. XBox live has never worked for me.
Thanks again.
Hi mate,
I didn't have to do anything related to my account. I got the giffgaff sim on Wednesday, put it in my phone, setup the APN details on the phone and it worked from there. Didn't have to do anything else.
Sorry not much help other than that...
Jas
Ok thanks for your help
you have to activate your phone
wp7 licence is bounded to the device. hd2 wp7 emulates hd7. you have to call microsoft to get it activated. live services needs this activation. it does not have anything to do with your sim.
its a port and basically you are using illegal copy of wp7. you need to call microsoft to activate the phone. how to do this? use the search button or just browse the hd2 wp7 forum.
p/s: in my country, calling to activate will not work anymore because they are asking you to bring your phone over - so no dice there.
I have activated with Microsoft (twice I did not keep the code first time) and as mentioned via WiFi or Orange everything is fine and tried with different roms which is why I was looking at my operator as I have eliminated practically everything else.
But thanks anyway
Just in case anyone else is following this thread, I flashed one of the new NoDo HD2 roms and everything works
Thanks for everyone who helped.

Exactly the same issue with HTC Titan.
Mine is Windows 7.5 7740/7720 the recent update that we had yesterday.

Here I found the solution: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-gb/howto/wp7/apps/download-apps-and-games-faq.aspx
I hope it will help future WP7.5 users and giffgaffers!
Add the apn settings manually, that worked for me
Copied from the GiffGaff pages...
Connection Name: giffgaff - GPRS
APN - Access Point Name: giffgaff.com
Proxy Server Address: 193.113.200.195
Proxy Port:8080
Login - Username: giffgaff
Password: password
MCC: 234
MNC: 10
Open settings, mobile network then add apn and fill in what you can, also make sure the adult bar has been removed from your account.
Same problem here, new to GiffGaff and can't download any apps. Can browse to them but just hangs installing.
Only thing I haven't done yet is remove the adult bar as the web page doesn't appear to be working.
What is ''Giffgaff'' ?
Giffgaff is a new mobile operator in the UK (check my sig)
Get the adult bar removed and make sure you have the apn settings correct

GiffGaff is one of the UK's newest and best sounding PAYG network around. However, it isn't worth anyones time or money. The service is constantly messing up, I have had several weekends over the 9 months with them were I couldn't call in or out and couldn't send receive text messages, I get text messages coming through at random hours, literally days after they were sent. My girlfriend is on it too, we once tried to make a call from my phone to hers in the same room and it kept going to her answer phone. '3' offer essentially the same thing as their £10 deal for £15, and I was more than happy to fork over an extra £5 a month for a network that worked properly.
GiffGaff is good for kids, but for an adult who uses it as a business number also? Not in the slightest. Their customer service consists of a forum (one of the reasons they can be cheaper) where people spam you with the same reply and tell you that you are wrong because theirs is working fine ¬¬ it was one massive nightmare. I'd strongly suggest everyone stays away from their crap.
Not wanting to take away from Siksik6 problem but here's my twopece worth.
Ive been on Orange, Vodaphone, O2 and Virgin mobile and out of all of them Giffgaff has worked the best.
I had no connectivity one weekend in November last year but that transpired to be an O2 issue and it was just data only. Calls and txt were fine and the few times I have used the forums for help I have always got help from other members.
I personally would recommend Giffgaff to anyone

This is the problem with the network.
People are so quick to get £5 through a refferal sim (they pay you through paypal to tell other it is a good network and get them to order a sim from your link) that they are willing to pretend it's "better" than any other network. I'd believe you if you said it was a good network, but better? in what ways? the 3G isn't even as fast as O2's!
I seriously suggest everyone go take a long at the mess of a 'customer service' forum there before even considering going there (every single thread is a mess of 20 things saying the same thing, people telling new members they are wrong and that the service isn't bad and is 98% total illiterate gibberish)
You know what a proper mobile networks forum has? Hardly anything because they don't constantly have problems from everything from sign up to complete phone blackouts.
And yes, sorry to steal the thread, but people shouldn't believe it is good. £5 more on any other network for the same deal will seriously do you more good. If you have problems you press a button and sort it out.
Hey there everyone
first time post on this forum. Hopefully someone can give me some good news on how to fix my problem.
I am on the Fido network in Vancouver, BC. I recently bought a Sony Arc from Rogers and had it unlocked. Everything on the phone works great, but I cannot get my mobile hotspot to work. Wifi, GPS, email, etc. all work fine.
I had read somewhere that I might have to change my APN settings, but when I did that, flash turned off on my web browser - maybe I had put in the wrong setting.
Then I also read that you have to change your WAP settings, but I don't know where to find that.
Hopefully someone here can give me some good news on how to fix this bug. I did phone both Fido and Rogers and they said that it should work and that nothing is blocked on my account.
Would really appreciate some feedback and some help with thanks. Thanks in advance.
I've did the QPST setting changes do it and I have Talk Text and 1X internet working but 3G and MMS still remain a mystery to me even though I've changed the APNs on this sucker.
Another thing to note is that when I edit the PPP AN username, it reverts back to the sprint username instead of the one I edited it to cricket. The UM actually sticks but not the AN.
been trying to figure this out for a while. Then I may just dump this rom so no one else has to bother with such a hassle
Any progress yet I'm trying to find the info on doing the same?
I have made progress, I'm down to just figuring out how to fix video play on 3G and mms settings. I do have 3G working now and it's pretty fast on the cricket network, about the same speed as using my 7Mbps (or mbps, I forgot which) DSL internet. 513kb download and 533kb upload.
Do you know how to make a backup of a rom on these 8600? I can't seem to update from 2.1 without it being hooked up to a sprint network or something. And the two roms I found on the internet 2.1 and 2.2 are not doing it, because the 2.2 has issues reading the NVRAM info and the 2.1 has problems with the camera feature on the phone (the camera just stops working...)
I'm gonna post a guide to this once I figure this out, I think this phone deserves it since no material is on the internet for it. If someone google searchs this and finds this post, can you please help me with backuping up my rom? xD
I've got 3G working good but any ideas as to what's still causing mms to not work? I've unpacked the Mms.apk and saw no references to the provider in it and I took a look in telephony.db and saw that the APN settings were correct for cricket. Any other files that affect mms settings on sprint phones (or androids in general?)

What do you mean by 'update my mobile settings'? What exactly did you do?
I cannot send MMS either and I have tried everything I can think of. APN's have been deleted and re-entered etc. Nothing works
I also have the same issue as you guys. From what I've read, the issue has to do with ICS's MSS not functioning properly on 3G, but working on Wifi. I'm not quite sure if the issue is related to the T-Mobile OTA version I installed and my current carrier in Canada, or if it's an issue plagued by all devices running the T-Mobile OTA.
I noticed that under APN settings there is a new option called 'Carrier' - Does this need to be configured for something special (LTE or eHRPD) for MMS on a european 3G GSM phone?
Still no luck getting MMS to work :-(
Working on some carriers
Hi!
I discovered that this problem is not afecting on all carriers.
On voodafone Slovenia (EU) is not workin, on other providers MMS are working ok.
...so we have to wait for fix.
solved?
Hey, can you give some more detail on how you solved this for the rest of us?
I'm on a 3G i9020t, I called my service provider (wind mobile) and they told me to "google" how to downgrade back to gingerbread. lol what dicks.
I called samsung device support for the nexus s and they were utterly useless...especially live chat so don't waste your time. They told me to try factory resetting my phone and now all my save data in angry birds is gone. Neoooooo. Oh, and it did nothing.
I hope they patch this soon...i like my MMS and I can't play .avi files now. EFF google! YOUR NEW OPERATING SYSTEM SUCKS! - except the keyboard is much better.
[UPDATE] I tried it while connected to WIFI and it works fine. I can send & receive now. Just wish I could do that on 3G
Vote for a fix here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23233&colspec=ID
But it would still be great to know what Kalimdor did to make it work...

No on Simobil Slovenia MMS is not working!
It seems that ICS can use 1 APN for both Internet and MMS. So you can try to combine both into 1, if you currently use 2. For APN type write default,supl,mms and combine proxy address etc. into one.
But if your phone company uses two different apn points (mine uses internet and mms) it will probably not work... Anyone able to help, what can we do?

same for me. MMS works only when I connected to WIFI
Same problem here....internet works but no MMS download/upload
I had this problem on 4.0.3 but it was fixed in 4.0.4.
Ive had the same problem pop up on certain custom ROMs and wasted a lot of time screwing around with APNs, kernels, etc unsuccessfully but finally solved it today by installing goSMSpro -stock and handcent sms didn't work.
Try this first, then try 4.0.4 upgrade or better yet a custom ROM like CM9 where everything works.

So of course I have the Samsung infuse 4g, It always worked fine, but these past few days, whenever i receive a mms, it comes as a link, and I cannot send a single mms out... I have the MIUI rom installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355691) and i just have a few tweaks on it, the adrenaline, cm7 froyo one. they never bothered me, so i know thats not the cause. is it just the server being down or something? or is anyone else having this problem? and know a fix? xD
Go to settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. I'm not sure if it's the same in MIUI, but it should be similar. You most likely only have 1 APN, which is for internet. You will need to add a 2nd APN or do the 1 APN trick to get MMS, but your internet Speeds WILL be lowered.
How do you do that trick? o.o
