problems setting up fido internet/3G in unlocked HTC Fuze

Hi there, i've just recently bought an HTC Fuze and just put on NATF v4 for fuze (IT'S GREAT!! Got rid of the AT&T stuff that i don't want and everything is just better!!). I'm on a FIDO Network and I can't seem to get my internet/3G to work. it works fine if it's on wi-fi or when plugged in but once i take it out, it doesn't work.
i even tried different configuring things:
name: FidoWAP
APN: wap.fido.ca
user: fido
pass: fido
&
name: FidoINT
APN: internet.fido.ca
user: fido
pass: fido
I've searched the forums and google for same issues but i can't find any. i'm starting to think it's just me who has this problem. i'm not very familiar with this phone or settings and i'm actually pretty happy that i got to flash the rom considering i'm pretty noob at this stuff. Please Help!

Leave the username and password blank. Thats how it works for me!

I had some trouble initially too. There may be various configurations that work (no username/password/domain etc.) but here are the settings I am using successfully: (Hopefully this is everything I did! )
Name: whatever
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
APN: internet.fido.ca
Username: fido
Password: fido
Domain: 205.151.011.011 (note the zeros)
Advanced: No changes
in MMS Options
Gateway: 205.151.11.13 (note the lack of zeros)
Port: 8080
Server Address: http://mms.fido.ca
Also, make sure to run the disable proxy cab. This will get most things working.
To get Opera working I had to uninstall the version that NATF included and install the latest version I could find.
I haven't been able to test the caller id fix yet (it is supposed to be confirmed working and already included in the ROM), and I have had no success in getting rid of the roaming icon, but other than that it seems everything is up and running.

I've been using this setup for a while now. However, I find my download speed very slow (130kb/s) compare to my friend Iphone, which he got over 300kb/s.
Can anyone tell me what's the top speed you got on your Fuze/Touch Pro?
I use this link to check my speed: http://dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1&more=1

I just got 998kb/s and my reception is pretty spotty inside. Tried a second time and got 1338.

are you on Fido?
What's the Icon you have? 3G, E or H?
Also man, if you're connecting through USB, then of course you'll get that speed. I'm talking about using Fido service without USB, like on the street.

I'm on Fido with H. Of course not through USB. Just tried at home where my signal strength is much better (not that it actually matters) and got 382 and 472.
Note: I'm using Opera 15613 and Radio 1.11.25.01

That made more sense then your previous post when you said you got more than 1MB/s
Thanks for the info... I'll try that radio

MMS not working correctly

I have the following problem on my almost new Desire S.
I browsed the forum, but did not find an answer
i have the correct configuration for both MMS and 3G data.
Test case A)
If I configure only 3g APN, internet is OK, but no MMS (of course)
Test case B)
If I configure only MMS APN, internet does not work (of course) but MMS are perfect.
Test case C)
This is the very strange case...
if I configure both APN for 3g and MMS... internet is OK, but MMS do not work at all...
Sending MMS gives me "generic network error" message
When I receive an MMS, it contains only the text and it display a message saying "can not download"
Any suggestions?

Sorry, I can't offer any sensible advice, as all I can think to suggest would be to do a full reset and then re-setup from sratch, which is probably over the top.
I've never had to manually play with APN's myself. Can you get the VODAFONE website to send you the APN's you need?

I already reset the phone to factory... almost 3 times.
Since 3g APN and MMS APN work fine separately, they are correct.
Yes I get autoconfiguration sms from vodafone, but no chance to have mms and 3g working together

Sounds like a visit to the Vodafone shop or a call to their technical support phone line might have to be your next step.

Try the app: apn global, could be due to apn issues.

[Q] apns-config.xml

I have a problem. And it seems a pretty widespread problem. Got no replies on other threas so i've started a new one. Any 4.0+ ROM. Stock, custom, MIUI or otherwise. mms doesn't work. I'm using i9023. I'm with Crazy John's network in Australia. A relatively obscure networkthat piggybacks the Vodafone au network. I've done some research and think I may be on to something. Is it possible that if your apns aren't in the apns.config.xml or not correctly configured in that .xml then your mms won't work. I understand that with gb it didn't matter, you just input them manually. But is this true with ics or do they HAVE TO be in there? If so, how do we get this to the devs so they can update their config? I would have asked the dev of my favourite ROM, but xda won't let me post in the dev section. I just find it suspicious that users from the same list of networks are repeatedly reporting this issue with all ICS roms. The only other possible reason i can think of is that it has something to do with all rhese roms being ported to gsm from 4g roms. But that doesn't explain why MIUI V4 doesn't work. Some feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does your operator offer some kind of APN configurations to be sent via SMS ? This could help, because it might fix something on their side also.

How do u mean 'fix something on their side'? I enter my apns manually. I've called them and they just try to help me set it up over the phone or send me to their website. I know the apns off by heart, but i've also tried merging the into 1 apn, and various other configurations of all of their apns. I've tried changing user agent. Nothing. I bought the phone from Vodafone(unlocked) so the default apns are theirs(which are in the apns-config.xml by the way) but if I enter apns for Crazy Johns only internet works. MMS works flawlessly on any GB rom but not at all on ANY ics rom except GalnetMIUI ICS which is actually still GB with a few ics tweaks.

Have you tried to refresh your SMSC (do NOT use Update)? Dial *#*#4636#*#* | Phone Information, scroll down and hit 'refresh' for SMSC.

Yes I have. SMS works fine, but can't send or receive pictures at all. Just gets stuck at 'sending'. And can't download when receiving.

Um; I had this mms problem as well on mobilicity 4.0.3
when I updated to 4.0.4 ICS i heard mms was fixed. but it wasn't for mine; so i did a little research and someone suggested to integrate both the 3g APN with the MMS APN and it solved my mms problem:
I'm on mobilicity in Canada
try using my settings as a template for your network apn
Name: MOWAP
APN: wap.davewireless.com
Proxy: 10.100.3.4
Port: 8080
MMSC: [http]://mms[dot]mobilicity[dot]net <- couldn't post external links
MMS proxy: 10.100.3.4
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 302
MNC: 320
APN type (important): default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
all in a single apn; save it and select it

Yeah, I've tried this. A hundred different ways. Still doesn't work. Thanx anyway. Funny thing is, my network sells the galaxy nexus & they don't seem to have any probs using the 2 apns that I used on gingerbread.

Haha... I tried one more time and got it working. Thanks heaps for the template. My apn had .net at the end. Changed it to .wap and good to go. Cheers

Turns out this was kernel related in my case. Found that most custom kernels won't let me do mms for some reason. After trying kalim's cm9 kernel & finding that mms works using my normal apn setup, I went and tested them all. So far, matr1x 19.5 is giving me the best result. Happy.
....memoirs of a flash addict.

I had this problem as well and I'm also on Mobilicity in Canada.
My mms was broken in stock 4.0.3, fixed in 4.0.4 and then broken again when I switched to my first custom rom CyberGr. It was a great rom but one of the reasons I switched was my frustration at not being able to get mms working.
I screwed around with apn settings and tried 3 different kernels(including matr1x) and a bunch of other stuff that I've probably forgotten about, but no dice.
Someone suggested cm9 and that's what I'm on now. Mms and everything else work like a charm.
The source of this problem is still a bit of a mystery it seems to me because solutions that worked for some didn't work for others
Weird.

[Q] Samsung Gravity Smart troubles

Hey all
First of All i'm not thoses kind of people who post question without searching and reading, i already did it, so maybe i didn't search enough or didn't get what was explained, so the less that you can do is to give me link who explain my problem.
So how everything start:
My brother got a new phone "Samsung Galaxy Q", but trouble began when he tryed to connect on 3G network. It's Always connect on "E" (Edge) when mine (Samsung galaxy mini GT-s5570) connect on 3G and then on "H"So here's the first trouble.
I tryed the " *#*#4636#*#* " and make it in "WCDMA only" nothing is happening, when i try " *#2263# and make it to "WCDMA All" network disapear, even if i try other wcdma frequency. so it refuse wcdma at all.
So i started to search and planned to flash with the original stock ROM.
But here apaear a new problem: when i searched the firmware on samfirware.com i whrited "SGH-T589R" as it was apearing on the starting screen of the phone (With Fibo). I saw that there was another version of this phone "Samsung gravity smart" (SGH-T589) wich is apearing on samfirmware with T-mobile, so i just wanted to check what's this phone and typed the name on google Images. And maybe it's not a great discovery, but the phone that i've got, have "T-Mobile" writing on top of the phone when Samsung logo is on the bottom, but it's not the case with "samsung galaxy Q". So i was a but confused. The "menu/back/search" keys are visible and white with gravity smart but not with galaxy Q.
The phone that i've got looks like "samsung gravity Smart" (T-mobile on top, and 'menu/back/search" keys whith and visible) but when it's booting it shows "Samsung galaxy Q sgh-t589r". So i decided to download the "samsung gravity smart" firmware and install it.
I already did that with the "sgh-t589r" with Odin firmware and it done successfully, but when i tryed to install the "T-Mobile" firmware with Odin, flashing finish correctly, but when it comes to the Boot screen (Samsung gravity smart exclusivly for Tmobile) it sucks there and nothing is happening
So here's the problems, and now my questions are:
- Do i need to change stock firmware to 'T-mobile' one and leave "Fibo"'s one?
- Is the 3G network trouble (always on E even if i make the right APN settings) comming from stock firmware?
- The Android version is Froyo 2.2, do i have to update it to fix this?

I have a answer for the first question in that you should go to the fibo one as that booted fine for you and is most likely the firmware for your phone. But it might have screwed your phone up when you flash the t-mobile firmware because you never should flash firmware not meant for your phone it might hard brick it. Try flashing with Odin back to the fibo one and if it doesn't work you might have bricked your phone.

If it is not fibo try adding the apns for your carrier. Then it might work properly.

Everyplace that i let "Not Set" i don't know what to make, and when i'm going to the agency, they just tell me that it gona come by itself, or worst: "you don't have 3G on your phone"
So, the forum is my last chance.

Are you sure that the phone in question has the right bands to handle 3G from your carrier maybe your phone although it could be a 3G phone doesn't have the required bands to have 3G from your carrier and therefore can only get edge.

Here's what i found when i wanted to see my "Samsung gravity smart" specification in phonearena website:
GSM : 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
UMTS: 1700/2100 MHz
Data : HSDPA 3.6 Mbit/s, UMTS, EDGE
Global Roaming : Yes
I tryed to change 3G settings using code *#*#4636#*#*, and there are 5 GSM/UMTS band available when i select "select Band"
Euro Band (doesn't work when i choose it, no transmission)
USA Band (idem)
Japan Band (failed)
AUS Band (doesnt work)
AUS2 Band( dosent work)
it only work when i make it to "Automatic"
I tryed also the *#2263# code, and choosed in the "WCDMA Band preference", "Wcdma all" after that, the "E" disapear to let no network at all, making me to come back to automatic or gsm band.

Ithink I know where comes troubles from:
when i dial *#06# it shown "000000..." as IMEI number, and when i used Root explorer i didn't find /efs folder.
I didn't know that it exist so, i'm not sure i'm the one who deletet it with flash or it was already erased with the "fake" rom installed on it.
Anyway, here's the fact: i've an smartphone with no "EFS" folder, with "0000000..." as IMEI number, and i read somwhere that this folder not only containt IMEI number's files, but also some important files who may have relation with 3G network.
Now i've to look for a solution to my new problem.
