Hi folks,
I have done some searching on the forums but could not find exactly what I am looking for.
I have unlocked a Rogers branded Xperia Arc and am trying to use it with Fido. The unlock worked and I can send/receive calls with my Fido SIM.
I can also access the internet via WiFi
However, I cannot seem to access the internet via my data plan (3G). Here are my APN settings.
Name: Fido Internet
APN: fido-core-appl1.apn
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username: fido
Password: fido
Server: Not Set
MMSC: http mms.fido.ca
MMS proxy: 205.151.11.13
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 370
Authentication type: Not Set
APN type: default,supp,mms
I have tried the APN internet.fido.ca that I found in the forums but that does not work too.
Under Settings --> Wireless & network settings --> Mobile networks, the "Data Enabled" box is checked. The "Data Roaming" box in unchecked
When I click on "Network Operator", it starts searching for a few minutes and then shows Rogers, Bell and Telus but no Fido.
When I try to bring up a webpage with no WiFi (expecting it to use 3G) it just says no connection available.
I am a real noob so I would really appreciate if someone can tell me what I am missing or if this simply is not going to work. Maybe I need to root the phone ? (I do not really want to but if that is the only way this will work then ...)
As an update to this .. I read on some other forum that any non-fido phone needs to have roaming turned on to connect to the Fido 3G network. Furthermore, when you try to search for networks, just choose the Rogers network as Fido does not have their own towers but uses the Rogers network towers. Fido will not charge any roaming fees for this kind of activity.
So I turned roaming on and connected to the Rogers network and my 3G works now.
Could someone confirm this and the fact that I will not be charged roaming as long as I am withing the geographical Fido network ?
Thanks,
this could help
if you call the phone company, then ask if you have any additional charges on your account, or ask if they charge for roaming

Has anyone unlocked their captivate? how did you do so, buy an unlock code? and has any one attempted to use it with tmobile tzones hack. since it is quad band, technically it should work with tmobile 3g and since tmobile doesnt have the imei's the tzones hack should theoretically work. i am just looking for conformation before i give up my nexus for this device.
any one have any insights?
No unlock yet. Check around the forums. It's being discussed here:

Sorry to bust your bubble, but the AT&T Samsung Captivate handles these 3G bands [3G UMTS/HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100 MHz)].
Notice that there is no 1700 (AWS) band, which is Tmobile's 3G band. So at most even if you successfully get it unlocked you'll be limited to 2.5G EDGE only on Tmobile, no 3G.

true, I have unlocked Captivate with my T-Mobile SIM from work and it shows only Edge anywhere, even next to cell tower at work where I was getting full bars 3G on MyTouch.
Is there any way around it?
So does this phone work with Tzone or Web2Go including GPS and push email? Thanks
I have my Captivate unlocked and its working on T-Mobile, except for data
Anyone know what the APN settings might be that work? The T-Mobile SIM I have in the phone has a data plan attached to it. Ive tried all the APN's I could find on the web (at least 4 variations) and none seem to give me EDGE. I know the 3G wont work, but Im just curious about getting at least the EDGE to work.
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: It seems one of the APNs worked for me, I just had to restart the phone after entering it.
i have an un-captivate.. everything seems to work fine but yes.. only 2g's
incredible phone.. im on wifi most of the time.

Thanks for the reply. I edited my post, it started working after I restarted the phone. Originally it was showing full service but no Edge icon, thus nothing data related was working (almost everything, haha). Voice calls in and out were fine, but nothing else. Once I restarted the phone it fired up and was on Edge just fine. I have since swapped back to my AT&T sim because Im evaluation their service in my area, but I wanted to know it would work on T-Mobile in case I cancel AT&T so I can keep the phone

The link I posted above your quote has a MMS/MMSC address in it.
This was all formatted for use on an iPhone so I'm not sure how the fields differ on the Captivate. But good luck to you all trying to get it working.
Thank you for your time but still a no go.
I think I'll call Tmobile

Will you post the data settings you got working?
I don't need texting, just the data settings you said you had working before calling T-mobile.

Hi,
I bought a new Skyrocket and Internet is working fine with the new connection I got with the phone.
But I am trying to use another pre-paid AT&t SIM card with the phone, everything seems to be working fine except internet.
I can't get internet working. If I put the postpaid SIM back it works.
I already tried the wap.cingular setting, but no luck.
Thanks.
Its an lte phone even on at&t you have to call them and tell them u have this phone or u will have no data. I had the sgs2 bought the skyrocket put in my sim... no data i could make calls a but no data. I called them they had to change stuff on the account because of it being an lte phone. A quick 5 minute call to them and i was good to go.

A call is really not necessary. The fastest thing to do is to add an APN setting as the setting already there is for 4G LTE only. Add the wap.cingular setting and apply it, then your all set.

It does try to connect with 4G but I still can't access internet. Has anyone tried Skyrocket with AT & T prepaid SIM yet?
The reason I am trying to use prepaid on Skyrocket, because I am on unlimited plan on prepaid no.

It did connected my phone to 4G network but then when trying to access internet. I got following message.
To use data services, you must have a data package or sufficient funds. Call 911 or go to att.com/mygophone now to replenish or purchase.

I unlocked my HTC Sensation and used it in the US for over a month after unlocking it. I traveled overseas and used it there but when I came back it wouldn't pick up T-Mobile network and won't see ATT neither. I tried factory reset and still didn't work. Is there anyone out there who can suggest something? anything?
Thank you all
I would call 611 and ask for support and tell them whats going on. maybe they will give you a code to get u.s signals back..... you can also check your apn.
Have you checked your APN? Try resetting it. You can do that through settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names, press menu> Reset to Default.
Wasn't me!! I didn't do it!
Thanks to all.
I can't dial 611 because the phone doesn't pick up the network at all. And I tried to reset the network setting and still no luck.
does changing the Rom solve such an issue?

After changing the settings, I tried to manually search for network. it recognized the T-Mobile network but when I tried to connect to it it said "your sim card does not allow connection to this network" even though it's the same card that works in the cheep phone I'm using for now

Hi guys, when you have time would you throw an eye on this thread.Merry Christmas to everyone, how are you?
I just bought recently unlocked AT&T made in Korea LG optimus G pro e980
The kernel is of AT&T because when i start the phone i see the logo of AT&T mobile.
I am on Walmart Family mobile plan they are OVN of T-Mobile. I am on unlimited text,data,talk plan, it is included 2 GB of 3G data.
The android version of the phone is 4.1.2, baseband version APQ8064,MDM9X15m Kernel 3.4.0, build number JZO54K,software version E98010k
My APN settings are as follows, i tried the one from FAQ of family mobile too, but i still couldn't have 3G coverage.

On the top corner of the screen above the network coverage stays the letter "E" (EDGE) and the internet is very slow!
I've seen they are many AT&T brand applications are installed on the device like: at&t drive mode, at&t Locker, at&t Navigator e.t.c.
Please guys what you would suggest me what i have to do. Do i need to root, to unlock the boot loader, or to change the base bands to get the 3G coverage or what? I would be thankful if you answer me with links or step by step what i have to do, because i am newbie in this area, i have experience in desktop pc, laptops, some software and hardware knowledge, i am mint in smartphones.
ck.
I live now in Bryans Road, Maryland this area is 3G covered i already checked.
When i search on networks in the phone i also see signals from AT&T antennas like AT&T RAT:14,3,2 and three for Family mobile.
Thank you. Mr. Stark recommend me to change the preferred network to 3G or LTE in settings, i am still trying to find where is that in my phone, but can't find it
So I switched three phones from Verizon to ATT, the two Samsung Notes changed over fine. All of the ATT services where setup after reboot prompt, even the startup logo was changed to ATT. The third phone was a Moto G Play and it didn't go as well. There was no reboot prompt and the ATT services were never installed. The startup logo is still Verizon and there is a notification that the SIM is not from Verizon. I would think it was carrier locked but for the fact that the phone DOES work and the carrier is shown as ATT. There was no SIM code prompt or any other reason for it to not change over correctly.
My question is, is there a way to manually install ATT wifi calling or other ATT services that should have been setup automatically? Wifi calling was working with Verizon but is not even present as an option to enable for ATT.
This is a list of ATT wifi compatible phones which includes the Moto G Play
https://www.att.com/idpassets/images/support/pdf/Compatible-Wi-Fi-Calling-Devices-on-ATT-Network.pdf
I had a similar experience with ATT in the past with a Samsung unlocked device. It took me quite a while (6 months) to get ATT whitelist my IMEI and post that my Wi-Fi calling option got enabled and working. Just as you have quoted the samsung device was a compatible phone as per ATT but it was not ATT branded thus Wi-Fi calling was not available.
The best way to check on a Samsung phone is to go into settings> about phone> status information>Sim card status - under IMS registration you should see "ON" if not then the phone IMEI is not whitelisted. This I gather based on my conversation with ATT support over the period I was chasing them.
ATT does not whitelist the IMEI - you will really have to pull big strings, I had to be persistent and patient. At one point I lost hope. One fine day got a message it was whitelisted and then rebooted my phone and voila IMS registration said "ON" wifi option got enabled and started working.
Yes, APN's have to be manually injected - First inject these into the APN settings
Then reboot
