Hi friends,
I recently bought a HTC HD2 locked to T Mobile in UK. I used a Rebel sim to unlock it and I am now using it on O2.
However I am not able to start internet, neither can I receive settings from O2.
The message that gets displayed tell the phone as pre set T Mobile internet settings and these cannot be changed
Is there anyway I can bypass these? Anyone else faced same thing before?
Thanks
Metal
can't you manually change the apn to that of o2?
Rudegar,
Thanks for your reply.
I cannot change the apn as all the settings are for T Mobile and I cant change them.
I tried using all the settings but no use. I can start the internet using Wifi but not through operator internet.
When I go to the new connection set up I am asked to select country (i select as UK), then I am asked to select operator and only option I have is T - Mobile.
Besides when I click on any browser, I get the T Mobile flash screen and then the browser starts.
I get an error as I am not a T Mobile customer. I have a link for settings there. When I click that it says -
This connection is pre configured. It cannot be modified.

Hi
I have an HTC Touch Cruise that I bought over the Internet. It has worked perfectly with the phone operator that I have been with for the last 5 years.
I changed my phone operator: Changed the SIM card . I see the name of the new company on the screen (top left). I can use the phone, but cannot send SMS's. On the Connections Tab in the Settings I accessed the Connection Setup and the name of the original opertor still appears. In the Comm manager I went into the Phone Settings and on the Services Tab I pressed "Get Settings" for all the services. On the Network Tab the Current network is that of the new operator. I pressed on FIND Network button and the SET Network buttons and it seems that the current network is that of the new one, yet a message appears "Connection Setup. The operator does not exist on the database. Please contact your operator for connection settings. Connection setup will redirect you to the Connections screen". This message has appeared from the moment I changed the SIM card. The new operator does not not know how to help me. Can someone point me in the right direction? What does it mean that the "operator does not exit in the database"? How can I make it appear on the database?
Thanks
Brian
I suggest you state your current operator and country. Maybe someone can share the settings you should key in. Another option is too google something like: youroperatorname internet or gprs settings (that's how I did it for my wife last month). I remember there is a specific thread here at xda dealing only with these kind of settings. Another option is to look for the lastest version of htconfiguration tool in case it is already there (maybe you use an "old" rom). Good luck
Hi Cruiserrr
Thanks for your quick response. The operator is Orange and the country is Israel. I'll Google what you suggested. I'm using the original ROM.Can you remember the thread?Where do I find if there is a new version of the htconfiguration tool and how will it help my situation? And how would I use it/
Thanks
Brian
I typed in google "gprs settings orange israel" and had lots of links. eg here at xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=218329. Maybe the first one does not work since the link maybe old. Try a few posts and you should be up and running in a few minutes.
htcconfiguration tool ??? I think I invented myself the name. I am referring to the same app you mentioned connectionsetup (htc made)-
this is the part of the forum where you should look for gprs settings http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=262
Cruiserrr
Thanks for the info. I'll check out your leads in the morning and I'll let you know how it went.
Once again, Thanks

You type better English than most Australians I know
To use your carriers data service, you will need to set up what are called 'APNs' on your phone. This installs the correct settings on your phone to access the internet.
Setting up APNs is very simple. Go into Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks. In here there is an option called 'Access Point Names'. If you tap on it, you're probably looking at a blank screen. This is where we can add your carrier's internet settings
What carrier are you using? We will need to locate the correct settings for you, before proceeding
Talk to you soon!
me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi im using att titan unlocked,but im having problems with internet,i can see E (edge),im on simple mobile unimited plan and its so easy to set up data for simple mobile because apn is just "simple" and there is no other settings and every time after saving apn when i try to go to internet browser trying to connect to this adress :
http://androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html

First suggestion: run Connection Setup app (from HTC Apps section in the Marketplace). If needed, you can install it using a PC.
Second suggestion: Try connecting over WiFi instead of cellular data; do you see the same weirdness?
Third suggestion: Call your operator (Simple Mobile) and ask them for help.
WiFi works just fine,when I call provider they say same things that I already did it,and about connection set up I don't have that app in HTC titan also I can't find it in market place fuf what next?

It should be in the HTC section of the market. otherwise search for "HTC" in marketplace. It has to be there. I don't know where you are, but here (germany) the apn for t-mobile internet is "internet.t-mobile". Go to T-mobile website there should be a configurator/help where they can send you a configuration sms
yes i solve problem

This is how I fixed it
1. Connect to WiFi and make sure you have internet connection
2. Go to market and select HTC app. Sign in or create your window live account, select Connection Setup application and install it
3. Go to settings...cellular...turn data connection off
4. If you have a previous apn settings , go to edit and delete it.
5. Open connection set up application, select manuao set up at the bottom rigth pop out menu. Select carrier window and choose Simple Mobile. Press check mark. Press done when it finish it. Exit to home
6. Power off the phone and reboot.
7. After reboot go to wifi and turn it off
8. Go to settings...cellular...and enable data connection
Enjoy edge data connection
Hi,
I have a HTC 8x, which was unlocked, but Branded 3. I have Put my 02 (Uk) Sim in the Phone, and whilst everything else appears to be working fine, I am unable to establish a mobile Data connection, when a wifi connection is established.
I texted 02 Activate, and the response was unable to send settings contact your Corporate Support team.
I have tried the settings they have provided, but they do not appear to work, however they are not familiar the with the device and are unable to assist.
Can anyone else, confirm what the apn settings should be?
Do I need to set up the mms apn as well ?
Are there any other settings I need to check/Change ?
I have Data on my 02 account and it should work
Normally I can get these things working, but alas I have failed miserably on this occasion.
I have the same issue with my at&t branded 8x after connecting to WiFi I have to power cycle the phone to get it to connect to a mobile network most of the time.
Sent from my PM23300 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Im on Bell Mobility. I purchased 4 used S7's while in Florida they were unlocked on the AT&T network. When I got home all but the one worked fine. The issue with the one is that I cant send a picture with a text and this is in the stock app as well as textra. I have called Bell and after several days they say its my phone. I have replaced sim and factory reset the phone. I have checked the APN settings and they are the same as the other phones
Does anyone have any ideas

First, download using wifi both google message and keyboard from the play store. After installation, turn on your mobile data and turn off your wifi then try to send mms message. Also check network mode is swtich to lte/3g/2g (auto connect).

There is nothing of the exact name Google Message do you mean Android Messages by Google. I have looked in my mobile networks and I do not find any setting to change to auto connect
Thanks

Yes Android Messages (They might drop the name soon).
Go to Settings->Connection->Mobile Networks->Network mode. Check if the settings is switch to LTE/3G/2G mode. Otherwise check Access Point Names to see if you have any settings for your carrier. Probably mms settings is not configured properly.
Samsung has upgraded their messaging and keyboard app to allow gif and mms messages. So far it only works well on Android versions 7.1.1 to 8.1. ?
