So I bought my hubby a MyTouch Fender 3G...
I have unlocked it, and it is picking up a signal...
I have entered in the proper APN for both internet, and MMS
I just can't get past the Android sign in screen... It just sais...
Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services
Is there anyway that I can bypass the welcome screen where we have to sign in with google account???
BTW -
Hi everyone,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (16gb) in Singapore and was using it fine on Singtel's network (signed a contract with them). Now I have moved back to Canada and brought my phone with me assuming that all would be ok to use it with the network here. However I'm having big problems with this one network I just signed up with (Virgin Mobile).
85% of the time I cannot connect to it: voice calls and SMSing won't work nor will the data work on it, the only thing it says is "Emergency calls only". Then at other times everything will seem to connect and work fine - I can make calls and use data.
Virgin Mobile will not support me much because they're thinking it's the phone's problem, if I use the phone they gave me (a lower-end model) it works fine.
Here are some details of my phone:
Firmware version
2 2
Baseband version
I9000DXJPA
Kernel version
2 6 32 9
root (at) SE-S604 #1
Build number
FROYO DXJPA
If I check out the status, it usually says this:
Network
Unknown (switches to VIRGIN when it does work)
Mobile network type
UMTS (switches between that and HSDPA and GPRS)
Service state
Out of service
Mobile network state
Disconnected (switches to connected when working, and even when it's not working sometimes)
I have Network mode set to auto mode (GSM/WCDMA). I've tried to switch it to GSM only but that didn't seem to change anything.
I'm wondering if there's some kind of configuration settings I still need to do with the phone? I'm also wondering if it is the network I'm with right now? Virgin Mobile isn't one of the bigger telcom companies here and I'm thinking that if I switch to one of the bigger telcoms, will it work better?
Something else to add - before I signed up with Virgin I was using my phone with a pre-paid service (called Chatr) for voice only and it was working fine.
I'm sure this phone can support the GSM frequencies here.. can't it?
I also still have the Singtel customizations on the phone. Will it help if I remove it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

sorry, wrong category..
Hi every one,
I'm trying to setup the APN of my provider (Orange in Tunisia) I have an HTC magic with official 2.2 froyo (non rooted) the customer service made a setup on the phone so they did this :
NAME : weborange
APN : weborange
thats all, all other settings was blank, the 3G icon choed up for an hour and then gone forver, the only way for me to get internet back is to force use 2G only setting. I'm unable tu get 3G back ... is this my phone or the network ? (on my Iphone with the same simcard the 3G works well). I dont have any freinds in tunisia that have Android with this provider to copy his setting :/
any idea ?
thanks a lot
Hey guys, I recently unlocked and rooted my Infuse 4G from ATT
Im currently living in Panama and using CLARO, I got the correct APN settings,and everything, and the internet works.. "Sometimes" I have gone to the store to obtain help incase it was something on their network, but there is nothing wrong with the network, Next I tied Replacing my sim into my friend who just got the Galaxy S 2, And it worked fine.
The problem In my case seems to be That I cannot maintain a stable Data Connection, It keeps dropping and activating back randomly, if I reboot the phone it will bring data back to it 75% of the time.. but only for a short period.. maybe 5-10 mins at most, then it disappears again.
Im just wondering if anyone that is using the Infuse 4g in a foreign country has or is experiencing a similar issue, or if anyone can explain why this is happening and if there is a way to fix it.
Im waiting for Infused to come back up to put gingerbread on the phone and hopefully fix this issue.. but I fear it will require more.
To answer my own question I found a solution and testing a second
**Just want to add when I say toggle Softkey, I mean the button to the far left at the bottom**
Solution#1 to get Infuse 4G DATA working on Claro Network Panama:
Goto phone type *#*#197328640#*#*
Goto Debug-->PHONE CONTROL-->NETWORK CONTROL-->BAND SELECTION-->GSM BANDS-->GSM 1900-->Toggle Soft Key-->back-->toggle soft key-->END
This will give you a stable EDGE connection on the Infuse 4G
I will post a possible 3G fix after I have tested the setting for more than a day.
OK so Im pretty confident I got the 3G working now, if you experience this issue of losing Data on the network in other foreign countries to USA/CANADA this might help you out aswell.
**Just want to add when I say toggle Softkey, I mean the button to the far left at the bottom**
So again goto phone dial *#*#197328640#*#*
Goto DEBUG SCREEN-->PHONE CONTROL-->HSPA CAT CONTROL-->HSDPA DISABLE-->Toggle soft key-->Back-->toggle soft key-->END
If you followed my steps to gain access to EDGE you must do this also
DEBUG SCREEN--> PHONE CONTROL --> NETWORK CONTROL -->BAND SELECTION --> AUTOMATIC --> TOGGLE SOFT KEY --> BACK--> TOGGLE SOFT KEY --> END
so that you can access the other bands for 3G
Hope this helps people.
Also Would like to Add that Im using INFUSED v2.0.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
and I switched to the ROGERS MODEM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173704
With these settings applied.
The other way around this is if you install the Infused ROM it'll give you the option to manually lock to the network. The AT&T ROM has ATT roaming partner preference built in... super annoying, but is what it is. I had issues where putting in a foreign SIM I could only attach to networks AT&T had roaming agreeements with even though it wasn't an ATT sim and the non-ATT stock ROM solved it for me.
I saw network locking also in the debug menu, is that what you are talking about?
I cannot find any network locking within the normal menus.. if there is could you guide me to it please.
well I tried the lock via the debug menu.. and did not work when I enabled HSDPA.. maybe the issue isnt a foreign carrier issue or combination of a foreign carrier or just the fact that its a carrier that offer 4G but only on contract.
I was speaking to a friend last night, and he said when he was in the US he was experiencing a similar problem with ATT and the people at ATT said the phone will experience these issues on networks that have the ability of 4G or the HSDPA+ higher speeds since we know that its not real 4G.. so the phone attempts to connect or do whatever it does to obtain those higher speeds of HSDPA+, but is being refused by the network because you need to be on contract or have it enabled.. which then in turn causes it to disconnect all together from the data network.
So it made sense to disable to the HSDPA in the scenario.. I might add that by doing this on CLARO you do not get the full 3G experience its slower from about 2Mbit down to .50 Mbit but its still better than edge. and the HSUPA works fine with a 2Mbit Upload.
Im going to obtain a contracted SIM today with 4G enabled.. and remove all the steps I listed above to confirm that this is actually case.
I will post my results when I get the chip.
Hi, I hope somebody can help with this.
I have just received my new Hero H9500 Android phone. I am on O2 in the UK. I can connect to their network for calls & texts - I've even been able to make a video call. Internet is only achievable via WIFI. If I switch WIFI off and enable 3G, the phone just doesn't connect. I have tried downloading some apps to manage the 3G on/off, but this has made no difference. Having just got off the phone to O2, and them telling me that because it is not a phone that they sell they cannot help me, I'm now feeling a little hacked off!
The ROM is the stock ROM supplied, which I was intending to leave on, I'd rather not switch to the Zopo p900 ROM unless it is really necessary.
So if anybody has any useful advise, I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance!
****** I have resolved this problem...apologies if I wasted anybodies time! I manually changed the APN settings that O2 had automatically sent me when my SIM first registered on theor network and with a switch off and on of 3G it suddenly connected!
