Hi, I have a successfully unlocked Vodafone Touch Pro in the Uk. For months, I was using my tmobile sim card within the phone, and it was all fine. I got decent HSDPA signal, and when I didn't, GPRS or Edge was fine. However, I have now put my H3G (3 UK) simcard in, and whenever I don't have access to 3G/HSDPA my phone tells me I am roaming. Now, I thought this would be ok, however whilst roaming, my emails are not picked up automatically. I also get messages with facebook (official) about roaming. Is there any way to force the phone to say I am not roaming?
Thank you
Try changing your APN (access point name) from three.co.uk to 3internet. Couldn't pick up emails or access internet under gprs before I did this.
Start | Settings | Connections | Connections | Advanced tab | Select Networks | edit the 3 internet connection ...
Thanks for your reply. I can access them fine, however, because my phone thinks it is roaming (in another country, hence data charges) It will not automatically send/receive emails. I am asking whether anybody has come across a workaround for this. Thanks for reply though, Much appreciated
Have you enabled the option to "Use automatic send/receive schedule when roaming"?
Look under Start | Messaging | Menu | options
Click the appropriate email account
Hit Send/receive schedule
Hit Advanced settings
... ensure the "roaming" option is ticked
thank you so much, a real help that is
I may be pushing you guys' ability a bit far but is there a way to tell the phone I am not roaming?
Thanks for they help!
No problem.
As for the roaming indicator - not sure if you can disable it. It still shows up on mine when I'm on 2G, but it doesn't really bother me.
Shaun.
Thanks Shaun

When I got my Xda2, I accidently deleted some settings which mucked up my ability to send/receive MMS messages via O2 UK.
Can someone guide me through the process of getting it working from scratch?
Anyone?
Ok I'll bite!
Take a look at the GPRS/WAP/MMS Settings Repository over at Modaco

This may help??
I use a combination of this web site for the settings:

I'm assuming you're on O2....with your active UI running, click on "my xda" (today screen) then connections. You should then see a screen asking what country you're in...select UK (yes, in know it's obvious!) then postpaid then GPRS......it'll do everything itself....easy!
While you are at it, try choosing prepaid with gprs, mine will not allow that combination.
the reason the prepaid combination doesn't work is because in the uk prepay doesn't support all the data features needed to get email/internet etc
I have the Fuze version on at&t network. I've disabled 3G on AT&T's side so there is no way to connect through there.
Nevertheless, my phone ALWAYS tries to connect to the 3G network and i've disabled 3G connections using Nodata.cab, advancedconfig, diamondtweaks.
Still, the warning signs always come up:
"there is a problem connecting to the gprs service in your registered home network warning"
and this occurs, when I turn on the phone and many other times.
Is there a way to disable this warning? I know I cant connect, its because i disabled it!!!!
anyone? it comes up like 50x a day andi have to click OK to make it go away every single time
Have you unchecked the auto update setting for the weather program? Doing this worked for me.
did that, but didnt fix the problem. anything else that can be auto updating or trying to contact the 3G network?
Go to start -- settings -- connections -- connections --advanced -- select network.
Here I think you can change the defaults so that when ever a program tries to use internet it will either use wifi (if available) or nothing....
I have blocked the wireless internet access on all my lines and this is how I solved the problem of getting gprs disconnect warnings.
Hope this helps.
Is it possible to just disable this warning?
I'm switching between my personal and business SIM cards quite often, and I have the data connection disabled on the business card, while on personal I have a data plan, so I want to be always-online.
I disabled aGPS and now i dont get the warning as much. (remember, i disabled GPRS from att side).
when i start my phone, i get 1 warning (i used to get 3?)
maybe i'm on the right track...
But the point is not to disable features so they don't auto-connect to the Internet.
The point is for the OS to try to onnect automatically, but when it failes - it doesn't have to scream that to your face every 5 minutes.
I'm bumping this thread cause I did the same thing and want to know how to disable the message as well.
still no answer to this
Translating from Dutch, so bear with me:
Go to Personal > phone > network settings and put the band on GSM.
Note that you won't be able to use the 3G + H data connections then.
my father has the same problem on his Diamond, need help!
bump, i have the same problem as well
any solutions?
i have a solution.
download > install > and run NOGPRS.cab aka No Data. that will shut it up. i just had the same problem and i did that and now i havnt gotten any... i think i might get like one if i turn the phone on and off and what not, but other then that its fine.
Solution to GPRS warning message
Go to settings > Connections > Connections > advanced > select networks >
now check both options to 'my work network'
click ok
and reboot
the irritating message will go away.
until you again reinstall the sim into your phone and it will automatically reconfigure the settings.
Just repeat the above process.
solution
1. Tap Start.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Phone.
4. Tap the Network Tab.
5. Tap the Network Selection Drop down.
6. Tap Manual.
7. Tap the desired network.
8. Tap Ok.
I just got a new FUZE and I'm already annoyed with an issue I'm having:
Halfway on the way home my phone kicks over to my neighbors to the north - Robbers Wireless. I live fairly close to the Canadian border and my FUZE seems to like Robbers more than it does the Deathstar, leading to roaming charges up the... you know.
Is there any way of disabling roaming of any kind, be it voice or data, preferably automatically? People suggest NoData.cab, but that is no good to me - I'll not notice myself hit the Rogers towers until the last second - hitting Home and seeing "Rogers Wireless" in my upper left corner. My phone never alerted me to data roaming yet it kept a data connection open the entire drive home and hopped to Rogers.
I kept trying to select networks from Start > Settings > Phone but it kept locking onto Rogers and didn't offer me a choice of AT&T at all.
Have you tried choosing your network manually instead of automatic?

Doesn't give me a choice if I'm looking where I should be.
Start > Settings > Phone > Network shows only 2 things:
"Current Network: AT&T"
and a [Find Network] button. No network selection or anything was offered to me.
Call AT&T and tell them to disable international roaming.
Hey I managed to get Peep working over 3g by removing the proxy setting for my connection.
I use my HD2 on T-mobile and the connection wizard automatically puts in settings for proxy for you.
I found that If you go to Settings > wireless controls > menu > Connections
Click setup my proxy server and untick "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" option
this then worked perfectly - I can't say for other networks as I only use T-mobile.
if it doesn't work for you - just delete the existing connection. go to settings > wireless controls > setup a data connection. and your settings will be back to normal.
That's just T-Mobile UK being idiots... Pity it doesn't remove the YouTube blocking...
Wow this works!
Thank you, now I can twitter without wifi

Youtube works fine for me on t-mobile. You need to register on their site and remove the adult content block.

Problem is that it requires a credit card, of which I do not have (you know, what with being under 18...).
I'll just have to wait...
Does it? i dont have one, i just deactivated it and youtube works, simple as that. Maybe it depends how you bought the phone, but my account assumes im 18 since i had to be to get the contract in the first place.
Thanks, fixed it for me , was still wondering why I couldn't use Peep over HSDPA/3G
Big thanks, forgot to check that proxy thing..

Unchecking the 'use proxy' option did not work for me - how can I delete the existing connection? All I can do it seems is either manage the connection or add a new one.
I'm on T-Mobile as well and although Opera and some other programs such as Yomomedia work fine over 3G, the HTC applications including email and Peep just do not update unless there is wifi. I tried updating the 'operator database' settings and it told me that my settings were up to date.
Update - I now have GMail working on 3G, this is how:
- Enabled exchange relationship with GMail in ActiveSync (http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/)
- Enabled Directpush in wireless settings
- Enabled 'Sync while roaming' in account settings for my outlook email account (on the device).
Normal email accounts still do not update on 3G (IMAP/POP), only the exchange system seems to work.
HTC Peep/Twitter is still not working unless there is a Wifi connection or USB to PC connection. If I try and 'update now' on 3G it says that the network is not available. I can confirm the network is available and have checked the 'download data while roaming' box in Peep settings.
Any ideas?
So, just removing the proxy didn't work for me. I found an option to update the connection database. I did this (downloads from HTC I guess) and then disabled the proxy. That fixed my Peep connection
The update the connection database, goto settings, wireless, data, menu, update database.
I hope anyone can help me with the problems i am having with HTC Peep,
Some of the time it works fine while updating. other times i get a connection error.. but thats not the worst problem. i was wondering if anyone could help me find a register setting or tweak that would set a maximum limit to the amount of tweets in htc peep, the ammount of errors and loading time of the tab seems to increase when the ammount of tweets become more and more. for now the only solution i have found to speed it up again is hard reset and i dont like that if anyone could help me i would be really greatfull!
Been using Raphael for nearly two years on vodafone, no problems. It was a contract phone. Unlocked out of the box, flashed spl and elite rc3 the next day. also no problems whatsoever.
Now, bought another phone and let my missus have Raph. All is good and well but for the life of me i cant figure out how to add a messaging center number, since the phone cannot SEND texts. Fine with receiving though.
Whats tried:
1. Settings > Personal > Phone > Services > VMail and Text Messages > Get settings.
Result - Reading from network and then network error, reading "Cannot read settings from the network. Try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again." Data connection is on, but it can be more of the same - settings are wrong for data connection. Also tried to use my wifi as data - no dice.
2. Settings > Connections > Advanced Network > SMS Setvice > set to GSM (Originally "GSM Preferred").
Other sources indicate that its HERE that should be messahing center number filled in, but there are no fillable fields apart from pulldown to change "SMS Over", options are GSM, GSM Preferred, GPRS, GPRS Preferred. And thats it...
The card i try to run is O2 Pay-Go.
I'm out of ideas. Help...
