You type better English than most Australians I know
To use your carriers data service, you will need to set up what are called 'APNs' on your phone. This installs the correct settings on your phone to access the internet.
Setting up APNs is very simple. Go into Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks. In here there is an option called 'Access Point Names'. If you tap on it, you're probably looking at a blank screen. This is where we can add your carrier's internet settings
What carrier are you using? We will need to locate the correct settings for you, before proceeding
Talk to you soon!

Hi friends,
I recently bought a HTC HD2 locked to T Mobile in UK. I used a Rebel sim to unlock it and I am now using it on O2.
However I am not able to start internet, neither can I receive settings from O2.
The message that gets displayed tell the phone as pre set T Mobile internet settings and these cannot be changed
Is there anyway I can bypass these? Anyone else faced same thing before?
Thanks
Metal
can't you manually change the apn to that of o2?
Rudegar,
Thanks for your reply.
I cannot change the apn as all the settings are for T Mobile and I cant change them.
I tried using all the settings but no use. I can start the internet using Wifi but not through operator internet.
When I go to the new connection set up I am asked to select country (i select as UK), then I am asked to select operator and only option I have is T - Mobile.
Besides when I click on any browser, I get the T Mobile flash screen and then the browser starts.
I get an error as I am not a T Mobile customer. I have a link for settings there. When I click that it says -
This connection is pre configured. It cannot be modified.
Hello,
I have just buy a Samsung I5801 from Mobistar Belgium for my daughter. Unfortunatly i remark that the phone always connect to 3G mobile network and impossible to uncheck the mobile connection from the Mobile network parameters (it's simple there is no choice, in my HTC wildfire i have the possibility to uncheck all mobile network connection). When i create a dummy connection with false settings and i choose this last to connect to the mobile network the phone continue to connect to 3G through the mobistar portal.
I don't know what to do. Maybe root and flash my device to have an original Android Rom? The rom in this phone seems to be modified by Mobistar.
Can someone help please? Have someone the same problem?
you can download APNdroid or like software in market.
if not have simlock can flash to other i5800 firmware
and flash is not root..
Install a free app called My Settings from Market. In it there is option to toggle to 2g network from 3g. Try and report back.
Good luck !
Yes, I Swyped it from my Galaxy 3
don't solving
Both APNdroid and My setting don't solve the problem.
Also when deleted the APN settings and replace it by something else, the connection is always on AND active.
Is there a hard way to close any 3G communication from the device? I have ask to my provider to close any 3G communication from my number but still continue.
Flash your device then.
Alternatively put your phone in GSM-only mode. Try.

i am using AT&T's Samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket (unlocked), i am unable to select a network operator manually. As i keep going around different countries, i keep on purchasing local sim cards for calling home, so i need to select the network manually, otherwise it will select the network which has best signal strength and i may land up paying heavy charges for roaming.
when i go to wireless and network/ mobile networks/ network operators only thing which comes written is "DEFAULT SETUP" and that is greyed out. (when i tap on nothing happens).
also when i change back to my old AT&T sim, i am able to access that greyed out area, but when i put another sim "DEFAULT SETUP" is again inaccessible.
can someone please guide me through it..??
Are you using the stock ROM?

I have bought the phone just a weak ago... i have changed nothing except for SIM card....
actually i dont know any thing about ROMs and i m new to android also... i just guess that above written satisfies your question.
well thats your answer. You can not do that on stock att firmware
what modifications i have to do .... to achieve the desired results...??
and please tell HOW to do also....!!
You need to flush custom ROM that supports changing network operator settings.
Look at this post if you would like to use custom ROM:

Hi, I recently bought a LG g3 smarthphone and I found out that it's an AT&T version phone, but thankfully it's unlocked. My problem is, that it doesn't get any mobile network. In the setting it says that the Mobile network type this device can use is EDGE, but my local carriers can only provide LTE, GSM and WCDMA. I've tried to solve this on my own, but without luck. The solutions with 3845#*850# or similar codes just woun't work, when I choose any RAT it says: "succsess", but it doesn't change a thing and when I choose LTE only mode the phone blocks my mobile connection and says: "Restricted access changed: Data service is blocked" .
I really need any help, because I cannot see myself using a mobile phone without mobile internet. BTW, my location is Estonia.

First of all EDGE is GSM. It your only getting edge that could be due to the phone not supporting the bands that are used in your country.
