Hi, I have got an unlocked htc desire, which worked normally in the uk with a vodafone sim. I have put in a french sim (with 500Mb data per month on contract) and can use the phone but not get mobile data. I have set the phone to data while roaming, but with no access to data.
Can anyone help with a solution to get the phone to receive data I desire?

You will need to input the correct Access Point Name (APN) for the French carrier you are using. You can google to get 'XXX APN settings', then enter the APN under 'Access Point Names' in Settings > Wireless and Networking.
Good luck!

Hi. As the title says. I have just bought my dad a g1 from ebay, he has a tmobile payg sim card with no data plan, I have a g1 with a g1 data plan, if he uses my sim card to activate it will he still get the ability to take and make calls?
Thanks joe
As far as I know, he'll need to use data to activate it as he will need to sign on with his GMail account.
g1 without data plan
What do you meen by data, he will use my sim to aactivate and his gmail to sync data, and after that he will swap to his payg tmob sim card, so will he get phone call ability,
Thanks joe
yeah he would be able to activate it with your sim card. But once he puts in his sim card, the data charges may start to come up. I would say before you put in his sim card, delete the apn settings. that should kill any data from working so it is then just a phone. But the wifi can still work. or have his plan upgraded to a flexpay with the g1 service. You dont need a contract with that..
Yup that's gud, so deleat the apn's to stop tmob from charging and just use as normal g1 without 3g or grps or edge, ps how do I deleat apns
I am sure thats how it works. you can get "NetMeter" from the marketplace. that will tell you if there is anything accessing the data plan.
to remove apn go to
menu --> wireless controls --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names in there you will want to click on T-Mobile US - T-Mobile US 800 and remove the APN. Assuming you are in the US.
Thanks for quick reply, I'm in uk but I'm sure that will be the same but for tmob uk. Thank allot
If I was you I would post to get some feedback, it is a big post all about the APN settings. they should know more then me about it all.

I have a Verizon TP2 and have unlocked the SIM. I'm heading for Ireland next week and have purchased a prepaid GSM SIM for use in Ireland. Do I need to reset any of the Phone Settings on my TP2 or will it automatically make the changes when I insert the SIM and turn it on in Ireland. Thanks.

i am using sprint TP2, easy switch to GSM network, just go to setting/connection management/phone setting/network
choose GSM ONLY, then system will search GSM network automatically
remember insert GSM SIM card in the phone first
You will have to get data connection setting for the prepaid provider if you want to use your data connection

That is what happend to me with my VZW TP2 in Greece.
Switching to GSM only worked for the phone but I need settings for SMS and Data.
Got the settings but VZW put some kind of lock on the connections settings app. My settings would always revert back to the vzw settings and I would always get connection failur pop up.
Got back home and found online some details about "CMGaurdian"
This program either locks the conection manager or imediately reverts changes back to stock. I think you may need to disable this in registry to enable data and out going sms reliably.
Hello.
I bought D2G from ebay last month.
It was locked and has bad ESN.
And I unlocked D2G using turbo sim card from ebay.
That item number is 200539432676 and you can search it just type "no cut unlock sim card".
And maybe you can unlock it follow these steps.
0. You need prepare local carrier's sim card, another local phone, D2G
1. Put your sim card in local cellphone and turn on. After it receive signal, pull out the battery and your sim card. (Do not turn off the cellphone before pull out the batt. and sim)
2. Put your sim card on locked D2G with turbosim.
3. Turn on D2G and change the network mode (if you need) and set up the APN
4. Check the data roaming
Settings - Wireless & networks - Data manager - Data delivery - Data roaming
After that, My D2G work with roaming mode. I can use calling, text messaging and 3G internet service thru GSM/UMTS mode.
(I'm living in South Korea and local carrier provide wcdma hsdpa service.)
But my unlocked D2G have two problems.
1. When I use other local sims with turbosim, it's not work. I guess this turbosim
has compatible problem. (Maybe newer sim will not work.)
2. I only can receive incoming call and message(text and MMS) when my D2G was connected on "H"(Hsdpa). I cannot receive that things when signal turned to "3G".
I cannot use D2G for main phone.. Is there any way to connect HSDPA only? I tried to find some apps for do that, but there is no apps for it. If anyone know about the way, Please help me!
Thanks for read my post and please understand my poor english skill
TurboSIM is not the way to go. There are problems with incoming calls not going thru, losing service every now and then/etc
You should really try to unlock the phone by code. Have you tried online unlockers? You may be lucky your phone not to be from the locked down ones and to unlock with ease. Give it a try!

I already got code from Ebay seller, and it dose not work.
And now I'm in South Korea so turbosim is only one way unlock it.
And I guess I can use my D2G with turbosim if I can connect Hsdpa only.
Is there any way to do that?
Hi,
I recently got a Vodafone Pen with a 3G card included. So I know it's possible to use 3G Data cards on Android with the exception of making phone calls, still, would be worth it since I have a spare mobile to use my GSM card. The thing is, when I put my 3G data card on my sensation, boot, asks for pin which I insert, but I can't enable 3G.
The toggle is on, the option is selected to use Data, but there's no icon on status bar and connection sure is not estabilished.
Still I can use data fine on my regular GSM card.
It's rooted, unlocked, but S-ON yet (i don't think it has anything to do with that).
The phone was bought in the UK, it's unlocked and works fine on all networks.

Hi,
Is your phone HTCDEV unlocked,or did you "Sim" unlock your phone.
Did you actually try different network cards? (Vodaphone,O2,Orange, 3 )

Thank's for replying.
It is SIMUnlock (I use my other Vodafone card on it, and my 3G data card is Vodafone also, and don't forget, it asks for PIN and accepts it )
My other Vodafone card (gsm which also has 3G) works fine. The APN settings are there so I'm confused why won't work.
Update: Well, apparently deleting my previous APN configuration and inserting a new one (although the same config) solved the problem and it's connected.
Thank you
Hi,
Not sure if anyone has purchased this phone and unlocked. I've sim unlocked it, but can only get data when I use a T-Mobile nano sim. APN settings show up automatically for T-Mobile. Additionally, data shows connected at 4G but shows as offline when using browser or any data apps.
Any help is appreciated.
