HTC S710 Problems - help!!

Have 4 problems with my unlocked htc S710 phone:
1) Problem is I can not get the phone to work on one of my gsm providers - my home provider actually. They currently operate on the 1800/900 band. I will see the network (when set manually) get full signal and detect gprs but for some reason I can not make or receive any calls.
Has anyone had this problem ?? .... and what can I do to fix it??
2) Using the other gsm providers SIM the phone actually works (makes and receives call, surfs the net) - provider operates on the 1900/850 band. Problem is it shows a roaming symbol on the phone.
Why is that there? and how can I remove it?
3) When using WiFi i find i can not surf or retrieve mail as my office uses a proxy setting. I have attempted to setup for the proxy but still not working and the manual does not show you.
current settings
call from : work
call to : the internet
proxy name/port: <name>:8080
type: http
username/password saved
Can somone tell me what I am possibly doing wrong?
4) Why cant i select the GSM band I want to use like in Mobile 5 .... i can t even find the option ?

take the settings from:

Problem with this update is I am in JAMAICA, i do not see my providers. We have (2) GSM providers Cable & Wireless Jamaica and Digicel Jamaica.
What you suggest ??

does your provider have to register IMEI's of phones?
it may restrict what phones you can use with them

Digicel not supporting WM6 devices
The problem is that currently Digicel is not supporting the radio firmware embedded in WM6. I found this out after upgrading my HTC P4350 to WM6 to find that I had no connectivity. I ended up being forced to downgrade to WM5. As the S710 is not available with WM5, your only option is to switch to C&W.

Thanks for the response. I was forced to switch to C&W cause the support people and Digicel had NO CLUE ... sad really ... i guess we now know who is the better network! But tell me something i noticed when using C&W the roaming symbol appears on the phone. This does not stop any features from working but i just wanted to know if you had that problem and if so how did you get rid of it.

same here. i too am facing same problem.. when i have vodafone sim i can make incoming n outgoing call but when i change to airtel i get the probs.
guyz help me out with this probs.
thnx

cannot send mms

Hey guys,
I cannot send (probably also receive) a MMS message, my gprs settings should be fine because I'm able to download weather information, I did allready a soft and hard reset.
I get messages on my screen:
connecting to Vodafone MMS
and then cannot make connection
what am I doing wrong?
thanks in advance

Maybe you should mess around a bit with the Vodafone settings. With the normal Vodafone settings received from the network I can open internet pages, but I cannot receive e-mails. When I change the settings to NOT use a proxy, both work fine. Maybe this works for you too.

Mmm.... I had to create special connection with special settings to be able to send MMS. But my provider (which is Vodafone partner) provided all info to me...

I'm changing things for days now.
disabling the proxy was a nice idea but no change.

I use the settings provided from vodafone.
this really disapoints me, such a great phone, but I can't let it send a picture. next week I go to a city which has a vodafone shop, but I think there will be seller person who cannot help me...
hope someone got a great idea, or someone with vodafone (NL) can tell me all his settings...
deechte and Bodisson, both thanks for your time! I appreciate that!

My AP: office.vodafone.nl, but for non-business users I think it's supposed to be live.vodafone.com.
Username: vodafone
Pass: vodafone
I'm not using a proxy.

I finaly managed to get it working
I changed so much now I don't know what did the trick... but I don't care about that now.
thanks for the replys

Verizon TP2 on ATT: MMS problem

I am using an unlocked Verizon tp2 stock rom on Att's network. I have got everything to work on ATT's network except for MMS. I can send mms messages to others but I cannot receive them. I used to not be able to download mms messages but I changed the mms settings from verizons to att's and it will actually download the message now. When I receive them though it just says "message not found". If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Are you on a stock rom or custom rom? Whenever I flash my ROM I never get MMS to work until I tell the phone what to use for MMS. This requires registry editing which I can explain how to do if this is the case.

This is a stock rom. I had to registry edit to allow me to change the mms settings because before they were locked to verizon and there was no way to change them

daddylonglegs, Maybe you can tell me the registry edits you did and i can try that?

only if you no how to flash a custom rom
http://hotfile.com/dl/22460657/342b335/EnergyROM_21885_RHOD500_31.Dec.2009_StandardM2.5.rar.html. im using this custom rom and everything works great.

I just loaded the energy rom and and still no luck with mms. I am using mms server settings
* IP Adress: wireless.cingular.com
* Port number: 80
* Server address: http:// mmsc.cingular .com
* Send limit: 600K
* WAP Version: WAP 2.0
I also have a problem with bing not working with locate me. does that happen to you too?]

I tried to go to the site and it wouldnt download. What specific rom are you using? The only one I know of is ssk which I used but found to be slightly buggy. I too had an unlocked tp2 that is being used on att. I cannot get mms to work but like the stability of the 6.5 rom and would rather have a pretty basic one since I would not be up to tweaking it frequently

He is using Energy "Leo" 21885. I tried it and it didn't help mms. The rom was nice but had some bugs that annoyed me. I changed to JUICY ROM and it is really nice and stable. If your looking for stock then energy isn't really but Juicy is. I still haven't got mms to work but if you do let me know.

I am having the same problem with my imagio. I have all of my mms settings. unblocked the server edit with arcsoft. can now send mms successfully but cannot receive. Any ideas anyone?

mms with att on verizon
go to ppcgeeks they have all the cdma stuff your looking for energy rom, mms fix, driver update, im dont have one problem. i love my verizon phone w/Tmobile service

AT&T is not CDMA. I have an Imagio and installed the AT&T WAP & MMS cab. Same problem: send is o.k. receive is "Message not found" I am using My Clean Imagio ROM (custom version with carrier provisioning [not turned on])

same problem here. changed all server settings but shouldnt the "connect via" be media net? thats not and option in the drop down for the cdma phones. is there a way to add this in? im thinking this would allow it to work? or has anybody found a solution for this yet? ive searching for days and havnt found any yet although iv seen people say theyve got it working but dont say how...

I would like to know what registry editing are you doing. I have a vzw tp2 and cant get the mms to work. Any light shined on this would be great. Is there an arcsoft mms cab you installed over, a proxy enable/disable cab, manually add in medianet and configure it, manually add att mms settings?
please post your setttings and help us out.
thanks

MMS works perfectly on the stock rom. Do you have a custom rom?

im using energys manilla 2.5 leo rom. still havnt gotten this to work. has anyone got this going yet. ive been all over ppc geeks trying to figure this out. ive even got other members pm-ing me with the same problem. i know there has got to be a way for this to work.

Why is their no answer? How do you get mms and data to work when you have a verizon touch pro 2 and you are on att or t-mobile in the USA? And I mean with any stock rom?

I received my Imagio sim unlocked. I put in my AT&T sim card. I had to edit the GSM servers, and phone/data band choices to match AT&T. I have changed the registry for ServerEdit under ArcSoft. I have used the network wizard to set up AT&T. Just like everyone else, I can send MMS but cannot receive MMS. All other e-mail, SMS works fine. Is this a UAProf problem or is it an IMEI problem with the proxy server? I really don't know. I want to say this. T-Mobile folks are not having the problem as much. The problem is with Verizon unlocked (global) phones using AT&T sim cards. Does anyone have an idea if AT&T servers or software is blocking the MMS due to the phone not being recognized?

HEY EVERYBODY!!! i have stumbled across a temporary solution to this several months ago and had posted the link to the thread i started in several places but i guess i forgot this one!!! haha anyway, its over on ppcgeeks but my name is different over there. its luzboss. so if it helps you out please hit thanks or show you appreciate it!!! BTW, its a LOOOOOOONG postbuti tried to be as clear as possible about everything.

[Q] Ninja-07061 on Inspire 4G MMS problem.

Hello.
I know similar threads can be found on related subjects, but I've easily gone over 25 threads and have made 0 progress.
I recently flashed {ROM} Ninja-07061 on my Inspire 4G and I'm absolutely in love with it. So far, it's my favorite ROM and I really want to keep using it.
The problem lies in the fact that I can't send or receive any MMS messages without first connecting to the mobile network, something I haven't had to do in all the non-cyanogen mods I've tried.
I've tried changing APN settings, using different messaging apps and pretty much all I know I can do without risking any damage to my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if there is anything I should post that could aid in solving the problem, please tell me, I am very very new to this entire android thing and I'm trying to learn as much as possible, but there are things that I still have no clue about.
Thanks in advance.

Possible Solution
I've had a similar problem with earlier versions of the ROM. I don't send enough MMS messages to know if this works, but at one point I had added an MMS-only APN. Something like what is mentioned in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109983
Let me know if it works.

Thanks... unfortunately it didn't work :/
I've tried many different APN options and I still get the same results. MMS I received are stuck at "downloading" and ones I send are stuck at "sending".

The issue is with the way cm based Roms change the apn when disabling data. They disable the apn completely. While other stock based rom's don't disable the mms part of it. MMS use a little but of data and that's why you see the data arrows work when you send an MMS .

Okay, let me see if I understand.
CM based roms don't let me download or send MMS because they don't automatically connect to the mobile network to do it?
I noticed that I can send and receive while on the mobile network but not while disconnected (or while I'm connected to wifi).
Originally this worried me since I have a free MMS plan, which I believe should work separately from the mobile data connection, but I don't really know how it works (because I'm a total noob >.<).
I've read a little and it seems that MMS will be free, but they still require me to be connected to the mobile network. From what I can discern, this means that most stock roms (sense based) force a connection whilst sending or receiving an MMS and CM roms don't?
If that's so, is there a way to get the messaging app to force the connection, or will I have to connect to the mobile network every time I want to send/receive an MMS? I try not to have the connections enabled due to battery life and the fact that my data plan is capped.
Sorry for the wall of text, just trying to get used to the entire android scene :/

You got it. The only way I was able to do it is to activate data (which I normally keep off due to wifi everywhere and being on a prepaid plan) when I send an MMS. There are apps that control what can connect to data. I think apndroid is one of them.
The reason sense works is that it has its own built in MMS settings seperate from the apn settings.

Okay, guess I'll have to try some stuff out, at least I can rest easy knowing what's up now.
Thanks a billion.

No problem.

Hi
Did you upgrade the bootloader and modem as they recommend?
Also check your APN and see if they are correct , check with your carrier they will provide the information , in most cases if you delete them and re start the phone the carrier will send the information automatically

Yes I did update, my apn is correct I believe, but if I were to do that does it mwan I would have to contact them or would they automatically detect it?

Hi
not sure what you mean , normally your carrier will send that information automatically , if you place a new sim the sim´s carrier will send that information.
Go settings / mobile networks / Access Points Names there you you can see what you have ask your carrier for the correct information and review them or just reset them and reboot , here is resend automatically and configure by itself
What network mode you have selected?

If i am not mistaken the SMS service uses the GSM (2G) band , try and enable that band to see if it works

Ok thankz

With stock firmware, I can receive SMS sent via email. I have tried a few S7 flat custom ROMS and all prevent me from receiving SMS sent by email.
This seems to be the case also when I was still using S6. So what is it with custom ROMS that prevents receiving SMS via email?
Thanks

I never did. I just eventually found a custom ROM that did not have that issue. Forgot which one.
I am now on S8 snap dragon. If you still using S7 exynos, you might want to try Black Diamond by @Kill-Switch.

id be willing to wager that it was the APN. Many custom ROMs build in the APNs to make their ROM foolproof. Dollars to doughnuts its the APN

Is there a way to override the rom's apn? Tello (Sprint MVNO) automatically configures the network settings and doesn't allow to adjust and when I used a RedPocket GSMA (ATT MVNO) sim card, I was able to insert their apn info but still was not able to receive sms text messages.
As a workaround, I am using my Google Voice number forwarded to the phone and all texts are received as long as I have wifi or data connection. Not perfect but it's better than nothing.
BTW, I am working on an LG X Charge SP320 but posted here because of a google search and relevance to the issue in general.
Thanks for the insights and any suggestions.
