Hi,
I managed to install Android on my HTC Polaris using HaRET. Everythings works fine (GSM, WLAN, GPS, Bluetooth) except mobile internet via GPRS, EGDE or UMTS. I updated the radio to the latest version I could find for my Polaris (1.65.38.14). I even called my mobile carrier (O2 Germany) to get the correct APN settings. With WM the connection via UMTS works perfectly.
Any ideas what goes wrong? If I would be able to solve this problem, I would abandon WM and flash Android on my phone.
I tried Android 2.1 and 2.1, but the problem remains.
Here are the details of my setup:
Device: O2 xda Orbit 2, i.e. HTC Polaris 200
Android: 2.2
Kernel: 2.6.25-01130-g99a3b07-dirty bell(at)bell-laptop #383
Build:eu_vogue-userdebug 2.2 FR91 eng. martin.20100711.172453 test-keys
Thanks for any help,
Ralf
you can try following to activate mobile inet connection:
- put your phone into airplane on - airplane off
- (re)enter your apn via settings - wireless&network - mobilenetworks - access point names - press menu to enter new apn(s) or reset to defaults.
- force connection using modem.apk (connect/disconnect)
- reinstall/install another build, leave data
- install togga (toggle data connect), put on your sdcard and install via file manager
- use another zImage
- use stock radio

Have you put the MMC and MNC values for the APN correctly? I had that problem.
Hello,
as posted in another answer, none of warm donut, eclair and froyo was able to get my XDA2(Pola200) online by 3G due booting from haret.
Also none of the tricks given above and in another posts and wikis(i tried everything, believe me)had done the trick.
After flashing it on NAND (Kallt_kaffes eclair RLS7c with latest available eclair kernel), 3G was starting out of the box after boot, w/o further configurations. Curiously with an apn entry from O2. I use a prepaid provider which is based on the O2 network but it has another apn name.
Better be careful, maybe it will be an expensive experience, to go online with the wrong apn entry - in my case it wasn`t.
Anyway, dont`t know what`s the difference relatet to the hardware of my device between Haret and NAND boot and not/working modem.

hi matthias,
i have a very similar problem here in austria, using Yesss (which is using the Orange network). i can't get any data connection with froyo build. so i switched back to eclair (VaniljEclair_RLS7c) and 3g connection works out of the box - curiously with an apn from orange.
no idea what is wrong with froyo?
i'm using polaris 200 (xda orbit 2) with haret boot.
i recently root this rom ([18.MAR.11][CWM][LEO1024][TMOUS] CMYLXGO's BlueTopia HD(2) [RAF 1.8OC])
for somehow i can't use data plan
Hi guys, anyone able to give me a copy of the stock Bell HTC Sensation build.prop? Heard I need to just edit a couple of line, not sure which ones.
I'm using Android Revolution 3.0.1 and it's perfect except I lost access to my Bell Mobile TV. Apk installed but it always says "There was a problem connection to the service. Please check your network connection"
Can HTC Tattoo act as a wifi hotspot ? (so that I am able to make my Tattoo an access point and share its internet connection to
other wifi enabled devices). -> Also please tell how to do it. (any setting changes/ any application is required etc.)
P.S: I have roooted the phone am running a custom ROM CyanogenMOD Android 2.2.1 I have already tried the following: 1) Barnacle wifi tether, Android wifi tether - neither of the two worked. 2) I have also seen if there were any default settings, to make my phone a wi-fi hotspot, but found there were none of these settings in my phone (android). 3) I have also tried a new ROM: nFinity Android 2.3.5, but on this ROM also points 1) and 2) stated above were applicable.
Please tell ASAP as I have to work on a project related to this.
Thanks
Hi,
I have rooted captivate running default ATT os eclair android.
I am unable to get it to connect to wifi hotspot (adhoc, open) in my laptop. HTC G1 connects fine to it. I just do not understand why captivate cannot connect.
So to install apk I tried sdcard route but says blocked. In Application menu I do not see any option to allow unknown sources like I see in HTC G1 which is running cyanogenmod.
since wifi does not work I cannot install using market. since unknown sources is not an option available in phone menu I cannot install either.
any alternatives ?
1) should install another rom like cyanogenmod ?
Regards,
Miten.

This will allow you to enable sideloading:
http://pocketnow.com/android/how-to-enable-app-sideloading-on-the-att-samsung-captivate
It worked for me and was easy to follow.
Hi,
sideloading itself needs installing apk. I have issue in first place that of phone not letting install from sdcard due to it not being from Android Market and wifi does not connect me to my local home hotspot.
do I need to have some sim in phone to get wifi to work ? I have been trying without having sim in phone since I know my sim is not ATT and the phone is locked currently to ATT and that unlocking is what I am trying to get done.

Miten.
You need Superoneclick. It will root your phone, and it will also change the settings to allow for 3rd party apps.
