I got my Fuze last night and the problem persists. AT&T is looking into it but seems to have no clue.
I can use the 3g data network for the weather app, Tomtom but when I attempt to load anything via Opera or IE it fails.
BUT if I load Wifi, then navigate to google.com for example, then turn off the wifi, the 3g data network starts to work. If I close opera and reload it the 3g data network stops working again.
Any ideas?

Which data plan did you have before you got the FUZE. I got my FUZE and the sales rep. who sold it to me took off all data since I opted not to go with the PDA package.
I called in and complained and the customer service rep. re-added MediaNet for me. Now I'm having the same issues you mentioned again. WTF is going on.
Just my two Cents
I would take it back and try another phone in the store. Mine works fabulous out of the box.
I had the iphone data plan. AT&T has a support ticket submitted but they seem to be clueless as to what is going on. I am signed up for the correct 30.00 dollar media net plan.
Who knows. They said they would call me back later today. I will let you know if they fix the problem. I have already done a hard reset and it made no difference.

For what it's worth, I had all kinds of strange data problems when I switched from my iPhone to my Tilt. Had to call AT&T several times before I got a tech who figured out that they had changed my data plan in one place but not another place so it was still picking up the iPhone data plan.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I unfortunately tried that already with no success. I probably have incorrect settings on AT&T's end in my account.

This is most likely the case. I am sitting in an area with full 3G signal and getting speeds of 20k/second. This is all after I switched to the FUZE from the Tilt which had a MediaNet Plan and now am on a PDA Personal plan.
This is Total BS.
Yes i have the SAME PROBLEM,
i used to have th $20 iPhone plan, because i had the original iPhone.
i went into the store and they upgraded my plan to the $30 Fuze plan.
But now i have the same problem, everything works fine on wifi, but when i go into Opera using 3G, it says
"ERROR!: The remote server refuses to perform the request"
and i tried using the Instant messaging application and i get "Request could not be complete (code: 403)
This is awesome. Back 2 years ago when they first rolled out 3G I would reliably get 900 Kbps on my TyTn. Now, here we are 2 years later and I can semi-reliably get 25 Kbps on my FUZE (when it decides that it wants to connect).
What area is everyone in btw?
In my area (Tyson's Corner, VA), AT&T's explanation is that there is "degradation on a few of the towers in that area". Take that for it's worth.
im in Miami Florida,
i have yet to call at&t, but i will in a few minutes
im having the same problem i got mines on nov 10 and i cant connect to opera or AIM over 3g

ok i just called at&t support.
and i told them my problem, and they noticed that i had the iPhone before i got the Fuze.
They transfered me to Technical support and they guy tried and fixed the network on the spot, but he said, that wat they needed to do is get the "iPhone" out of their network. Because the network still thinks im using the iPhone, so it uses a different type of data transfer.
He said this usually happens to ppl that have an iPhone and then switch to a "normal" phone.
He submitted a paper, that will get the iPhone information out of the network, and my Fuze should be working just fine in 24-48 hours, they said they will call me.

They just called me back and said the iphone was still listed in one of their systems on my account. So the iphone even in death haunts me. (ok it didn't die but I want to smash it)
She also said that my inconsistent data speeds are a result of an outage in my area that has been going on since the 6th of Nov involving 3 towers. They comped my data charge for the month so I guess I can't complain too much.
She said that she will call me at the end of the week to make sure everything is working. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I'm having the same problem in Opera. Opera works fine on phone reset. Howvere, at some point, it just starts returngin the error message "The remote server refuses to perform the request..." The strange thing is that Push email, and my data connection in Garmin Mobile XT continue to work.
Between this issue and the GPS not working (without GPS Test), the Fuze is starting to be a pain in the butt.
Workaround
I have the same problem, where X number of hours after a soft reset, my phone's data connection no longer works. Following some advice I found on another forum, I've gotten a work-around, but it's not great.
The theory was that the phone's data connection is releasing it's IP, and the phone doesn't know it, so it's trying to reuse an expired IP. Pressing and holding the end call (upside down phone) button for a few seconds by default, terminates the data connection (color wheel comes up when this process is started). After that, internet seems to function again.
Anyone have a better resolution to this?

Sorry, but my resllution was to sell the Fuze and get an iPhone. No more data connection, GPS, battery life, or Bluetooth issues for me.
hey guys, i bought an iphone online from at&t (to sell) and just got it. stuck my sim in there and it "activated". played around with it a little, than put my sim back in my fuze, and the internet wouldnt work! after multiple soft resets i played around with the settings and saw that the address is now ims.cingular. i changed it back to wap.cingular and everything is perfect now. however, it goes back to ims.cingular after each soft reset. what gives?
nobody knows? this is real annoying... ive never even heard of ims.cingular...
hey my guess is to call att and remove the iphone plan because it is differnt from other att plans
thanks, but i never added the iphone plan; i still have the $15 medianet plan
ims.cingular is the APN for Video Share, if you have enabled the video share service on the phone it will use this APN as it must be parked on it to receive video share calls.
On ATT's side, one of their systems thinks you're still using an iphone. This happens a lot. Call an ATT rep and get to technical support, they should be able to fill out a case which'll get it fixed in a jiff.
See what happens when you do unprotected sim swapping with dirty iphones? You catch diseases!
Hi, I've been using the Iphone PAYG unlimited internet SIM in my Polaris for over a month, quite happily.
O2 have just sent a text however saying that they know I'm not using the SIM in an Iphone and will cut off the Internet access within the month.
My question is - without using the WiFi radio part (which I don't BTW) how on earth can the O2 Network know that its not an iphone connecting?
All advice gratefully received.
D
probably since o2 know what imei numbers are iphones therefore yours is not an iphone and so you get the data cut off.
Thats my best but o2 is really hot on that then if they are about to cut you off what a load of bull****?!?!?
yay or nay

anybody actualy sure how o2 do check what their sim is connected through,do o2 use different system from 3uk,cos the old nokia n95/96 cab works and that does not change imei,just some of the browser type settings in advanced settings.
from what i have picked up on various forums,some folk using hacked mobile broadband dongles have got away with months and months before anyone noticing,but hook a mobile phone up witho2 iphone sim they soon notice!!
anyone got any help
I am not entirely certain but i suspect there are headers for data packets embedded in the phone that let o2 know what phone you use.
I found this out when trying to figure out why o2 would limit mms file sizes, see
this thread but the jist of it from what i can make out is that your browser and mms services have a user agent string that indicates the device you are using. In opera they are under the about:config options, the location for mms is in the thread.
There may be more of these header strings but i suspect what might help is that you get the iphone string and alter your polaris onces to suit.
You are being watched lol.
Don't worry about this. I got that message 3 months ago, still surfing on 3g (but not wifi). As long as you keep your credit over a £1 you'll be alright.
Hey guys,
I'm new here, but not new to modding phones and all that. But, I have a problem that maybe someone can help me with.
I got this unlocked captivate off of craigslist a day or two ago, and I have been getting terrible reception on it. Now, I have t-mobile, but where I live there are hardly any t-mobile towerrs, and I ususally get about 1 bar at my house.
Anyway! I look at my phone settings, and I see it is only connecting to T-Mobile towers, which I don't want. Every single one of my other phones I have ever had has been connecting to ATT towers, since I have that roaming option.
I went to settings, and searched, and ATT and T-mobile show up, but when I choose ATT, it says my sim cannot register on that network.
I tried calling T-Mobile but they said that I should have fine t-mobile service in my area, and there was really nothing I can do since I have an att phone on their network.
well today I went over to my friends house up on the mountain, where I can only use ATT towers. Ususally on my other phones I get about half bars from that tower. Today I couldn't even connect to it, so I was left with a useless signaless phone all new years.
Basically, I am wondering if there is something wrong with the unlock, or if there is something I can do to stop it from saying "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network" when I chose ATT.
Thanks for listening to my long ass post,
Brandon
Bump
its been 2 days
Bump again!
I have to say, after 8 Android phone, I found my favorite. I have an issue now tho. I was with Att for years but I just switched to TMobile to help out a family member. Att gets much better service in my area. I know I can unlock, root and what not but is there a way to connect to an Att tower with my TMobile Sim, maybe force it to roam? I'm willing to only be able to get 2g but still receive text and calls. I'm on campus 9 hours a day with very bad TMobile service while Att is fine. My network on campus blocks wifi calling thru the routers so that will not work. Any ideas?
They should allow roaming. I am gonna subscribe to this because my Droid 3 only gets T-Mobile 2G and roaming off of AT&T 3G would have its advantages.

If there is any t-mobile service at all, then I doubt that you'll be allowed to roam on AT&T towers, have you tried connecting the phone to a computer that is connected to the internet, then enabling "internet pass-through" I think it should allow you to use the internet for calls, unless the computer is connected to a dhcp server with the same wifi call blocks..

I tried this already with no luck. The entire network on campus has ACL's
set up to block all wifi calling, such as skype. This included tmobiles wifi calling. I can see the ATT network when i manually search but it will obviously not connect. I guess I will try and unlock and root then attempt this again. I am just thinking it has something to do with the sim card itself?? Anyone ever tried this before?

Wow a school that blocks Skype? Not sure if that's worse than D/L speeds of .6mbps or what haha
