Hello all,
I am very excited to have android working on my RHOD400, I installed Froyo 2.2 (FRX06) and everything seems to working great, even Wifi works. However, my data plan does not work at all... I can't browse any websites or connect to the Android market without using my wifi connection...
Does anyone know what could be the issue? I have tried many kernels and the problem still exists... I checked the APN settings under the Android Network setting and everything appears to be blank... is this the problem?
Any advice would be great!
Thanks!
Hi, simply search for the relevant apn settings for your carrier and enter them manually. Who are you with?
A new install cant tell who your with so you have to set this up yourself

thanks for the reply, i have sprint network ... would anyone be willing to share their apn settings for sprint? thanks!
anyone? I tried googling my sprint APN but am not getting any relevant results.
I have a Rhod400, also on Sprint Network. I searched for the APN for Sprint and it appears there is no APN for Sprint since they are a CDMA carrier. But I also found some people say SPRINT APN = internet.com Does anyone know for sure?

Hey guys I'm having troubles with my Telus Nexus S getting my APNs to work.
The default MNC is 22, and it needs to be 220, however every time I change it and save the APN is cleared.
I have tried editing build.prop and it doesn't seem to have anything related to my APNs such as the "ro.cdma.home.operator" file everyone is mentioning to this problem.
I'd really love if you guys could help me figure this out, as I cannot send any outgoing sms from my phone. Recieving is fine however.
I'd also like to know this.
Bump
Still have not found a solution to this. Can anyone help me out here?

Ok guys, here is a temp fix for you to continue using the mobile hotspot. But I am not sure how long it will be able to work until it gets blocked.
Go to Settings
Mobile network
Access Point Names
New APN
set the name
set the APN to: epc.tmobile.com
save
after you save, select the new APN you created instead of T-Mobile data.
Anyone mind confirming?
yeah please confirm if this helped anyone

Bigger question is what is the new APN? epc has been the updated apn for a long time since the days of wap/internet2/3
ziddey just create the new APN with epc.tmobile.com and save it as is without any additional changes.

try it and see if it works. i'm not sure why it does but it does. you won't get the t-mobile launch page asking you to pay.
I can confirm named it the bs fix

Actually, this does work. The only difference I can see between the APN that was on the phone and the new APN created is the following:
Original APN
APN Type: default,supl,admin,hipri
Newly created APN
APN type: Not Set
I have no clue what this means, but that is the only difference I see and the newly created APN does in fact work and allow me to tether over 4G.
Also, I had purchased EasyTether a while back to use on Sprint with my HTC Hero (before I learned to root a phone), and easytether also works using a USB cable.
Thanks to the OP for finding this!!
remove admin from apn type.
Found a possible issue with this fix. When I have the newly created APN enabled, I cannot send an mms. When I select the original APN and try and resend the mms, the mms goes through.
Anyone have suggestions?

thanks for pointing that out jtress, will try to look into it.
edit: jtress i was testing it out and it does work with the current settings. i'm not sure why you are having problems with mms. does anyone else have this issue with the mms not going through?
I have no problem either

Does this still work? I've tried it and it didn't work for me when trying to go to amazon.com. I've also tried deleting the default apn and removing the apn type. I've even tried using wap.voicestream.com as the apn. So far nothing works.
My issue with the APN and not being able to send MMS, may have something to do with me being on Tmobile prepaid plan.
I can live with it this way. I very rarely use the tethering. So, if all I have to do is go in to the settings and switch the APN for the few minutes I use the tethering, I can live with that
tethering workarounds
Regarding the new tethering block, there are a few other workarounds that worked for me.
1) Change your user agent string to something mobile on your browser
2) Browse through an encrypted proxy (work VPN works great for me)
3) Use the internet for things other than HTTP and you'll be fine. (HTTPS works fine)
Confirm that it worked for me. I entered the new APN and restarted the phone and now it works like it did before. Thanks!
hey guys, does the usb tether still works after the update?
Wow I feel both dumb and extremely happy all at the same time but I got it to work! I never restarted the phone before so I guess my phone never properly set up the APN.
The way I got it to work:
1. Selected Default T-Mobile Data APN
2. Delete all of the information from the APN type
3. Reboot Phone
Thanks for reminding me to do the simple things!
Looks like the fun is over...
I had been using Wifi tethering for root users and it seemed to allow me to use it just fine. All of a sudden this morning it stopped working and I got a push notification to my phone about mobile hotspot access being blocked. Came here, found the APN settings in this thread and tried it. Worked for about 30 seconds before the same thing happened again.
Looks like they are being pretty hardcore about it now...
Anybody else experiencing this or know how to get around it still?
Hello there, i just got this phone 3 weeks ago and since i have wifi i didnt test the 3g conection before. i activated a data pack and i just realized that my 3g doesnt come on at all. the screen shows 4g left side of the signal strengh but it doesnt work at all. i got at&t version. i confirmed with my carrier and i did activate data, they even helped me to set up the apn but is still not working. can you helpe me? thanks!
PD: they said they couldnt have done more because they dont support that type of device
Does it say 4G or 4G LTE? The at&t icons are a bit different I'd you're not used to them.
4G = hspa
4G LTE = LTE
So if you're getting the 4G icon you are actually getting 3G hspa speeds.

If another carrier besides AT&T, you will need to find the APN settings for your carrier and manually enter it into Settings>Mobile network settings>Access point names. Select "New APN" and enter the correct settings for your manufacturer.
The 4G icon simply means a network is present, it doesn't mean you are connected to it.
thank you for helping people. whel actualy i wouldnt mind getting 3g network access, the point is that i dont have internet access at all. i called my carrier (Claro - El salvador) and they helped me to set up the apt but is still not working. i was wondering if there is something else i could try to fix this
nevermind, i finally fixed it
Please share the fix so the information is available for anyone who might have the same problem in the future.

sorry. well, first i did master reset, once done i set up an apn (carrier provides you with this info), then went to mobile network > network operators > select automatically. once the device found the "CLARO" network i turned data on and got internet service.
Thankyou, these threads live on long after we're finished with them so it's important to have the information readily available for future troubleshooters.

I'm guessing you either had not entered the APN info exactly correctly the first time. Or also, after entering the APN you actually have to select it as the "active" one on the list of APNs (making sure it has the colored dot next to it). Maybe it did need a factory reset, but this shouldn't be necessary just to change APN.
Happy you got it figured out.
So I bought the HTC Once E8 from Etotalk, which came with all the Chinese apps removed and the Google Play store added. I went to the ATT store to get a nano sim, and calls and texts work just fine. My issue is with the data connection. I have done a lot of google fu, and have tried the same settings that people are using for UK M8's but am still having issues. From my understanding the bands are supported, so It should just be a configuration issue.
Would anybody be able to shed some light on this for me? This is my first overseas phone, and I have only had experience with vanilla Android installs to date.
Also, the first thing I did was install the software update from HTC, which probably wasn't the smartest move. I don't see how this would affect APN settings though....
Let me know if any other info is needed, thanks in advance for any help!!

You probably lost the etotalk modrom while updating, but that shouldn't be a big deal. Though it may have overwritten the predefined APN settings?
Did you manualy check your APN settings under settings --> mobile data --> sim1 --> access point names?

Yeah that's what I think happened, is that I lost the modrom. I wouldnt think that would affect the APN though, isn't that supposed to be unique to each country, or something of the sort? I will send Etotalk a message and ask them if there's a chance that could be it anyways.
I have indeed tried keying it in manually, trying every combination from default, to the one I got from the ATT rep, to the ones I have found online from different forums.
Fixed
I tried using the legacy cingular APN. Apparently my grandfathered unlimited data plan was on these old codes, ie. 3G only...
Thanks anyways.
I jumped on the $250 eBay deal for this phone. Today, after installing my tmobile SIM card I can talk and text fine but the mobile data is not functioning. I've gone into the "Data Manager" menu and turned on the "mobile data"...airplane function is off....performed a factory reboot, and still nothing. What am I missing? Do I need to do an APN configuration? Being an unlocked phone, I thought it was a matter of plug and play. Data works fine in my moto g. Please help. Thanks

Yes, get your apn settings from Tmobile and enter inSettings, Networks,mobile networks, access point names. Create a new APN for t-mobile...save....choose the new apn. .... see if it works
Yes, sounds like you'd have to enter APN values, especially if voice and text are working. Not all phones auto populate APN values.
Not sure if these APN values are correct but it's a starting point: http://apn-settings.com/t-mobile-apn-settings-step-by-step-configuration/ . This is T-mobile's site for generic data settings for non T-Mobile phones: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
You guys were spot on...contacted tmobile and they had me up and running in less than 5 min with the proper APN config. Thanks for the help fellas.
Now if I could just get the latest software update without having to purchase the gophone SIM/plan...
Does Hotspot feature work for you?

Sorry to revive such an old post, but I am thinking of doing the same thing right now ($200 for a new unlocked AT&T Flex2), and wondered if your WIFI Hotspot function on the phone works with TMobile?
I've tried other AT&T unlocked phones on TM, and when I turn on the hotspot feature, I get a network error.
Thanks.
ps. Can you post the APN settings that TM gave you?
