My MyTouch is actually a HTC Panache from Moblicity, which is apparently the same phone with a different name. I usually use it with WIND Mobile, and when I go to the US, I use my T-Mobile SIM. On my old Hawauai U8100, this was not a problem, and all APNs changed automaticly, and i had no problem using data in the US or Canada. On this phone, however, APN setting are cleared every time i remove the SIM. I already have the settings for WIND and T-Mobile, so I can re-enter them every time, however i noticed that T-Mobile uses the AT&T network in places that there is no T-Mobile coverage (such as upstate NY), so when I am there I only have voice & SMS, but no data, as I do not have AT&T APN setting.
So first of all, I would like to know how my old phone got APNs automaticly, and if that would be possible on the MyTouch, and if not, what are the APN settings for the AT&T network that is shared with T-Mobile?

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.
Hi,
I have a Nexus S I9023 with baseband I9023XXKI1
Provider is Telenet in Belgium, which is a full MVNO with its own MNC
When running any Gingerbread version, the phone works fine when going out of the country, and returning.
But with any ICS rom (stock or CyanogenMod) the phone will not be able to connect to any international providers, when my providers SIM is installed. But when I stick my providers SIM into another phone the SIM will switch over, after which I can put it back into my Nexus S and I can roam to any other international provider without problems, but the phone will not switch back to my own provider when I get back into the country. At this point I again have to put the Telenet SIM into another phone to force it out of roaming mode after which I can put it back into my Nexus S and it works again on my own provider.
I also tried with another Telenet SIM and had the exact same problem, so it is not a problem with the specific SIM itself. But when I stick in a non-Telenet SIM it does switch to roaming and non-roaming without problems. So it clearly is a combination of the ICS ROM with the Telenet SIM.
The only other thing I found is that the MNC code in apns-conf.xml is wrong for Telenet. It is listed as MNC=10 which used to be correct until sometime last year when everyone was issued a new SIM with MNC=05. But with a custom APN setup mobile data works fine.
If anyone has any idea how I could solve this issue, I would love to hear about it!
Cant Activate/Deactivate International Call Roaming on Nexus S.
Hi,
Same issue here, mine is Nexus S, running ICS 4.0.4, baseband version I9020XXKI1. I am not able to make calls in roaming. I spoke to my provider (O2 Germany) and they say that, I have to deactivate the lock (Lock to activate roaming). I haven't found any way to unlock this service. I have not tried what the OP has mentioned in his post (i.e., to put the sim into another phone and then try back in Nexus S). But I would like to know, how can I Activate or Deactivate the roaming lock ??
Thanks,
Cheers!!

The only roaming feature you can enable is for Data. This has no effect on roaming for normal phone usage.
You can change this setting under "System Settings" -> "More..." (under Wireless & Networks) -> "Mobile Networks"
Here you will find a "Data roaming" option, and possibly a "National data roaming" option
I have a Desire Z with Android 4.0.4 and Telenet for the cellphone also. I noticed I have to activate the romaing in Belgium to have the data connection which is strange as I'm in Belgium. Now I hear that they can be issues calling/sending sms abroad... I'll see when I'll be in Croatia.
I activated for the moment all the option (data roaming, national roaming) for the moment, nothing more strange than having the romaing activated and the 'R' in the network signal.
National Roaming seems to be needed on some phones, since the Telenet SIM swap last year to get a data connection in Belgium. On my own Nexus S phone I don't have the problem. But on my wife's SE Xperia Mini Pro (2011 model) with stock Android 2.3.4 it does have this issue.
The old sim used MNC=10, while the new SIM uses MNC=05 and it seems that some phones have some kind of issue with that.
MNC is the Mobile Network Code, which together with the MCC (Mobile Country Code) forms a identifier per provider.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
I narrowed down the issue somewhat.
Basically my prior workaround that the SIM needed to be swapped to another phone to force the network to connect was false.
What actually needs to happen to force the phone to enter or exit roaming is to pull the battery.
Rebooting the phone, or shutting it down and rebooting (cold boot) does not make a difference, the battery needs to be pulled and then the phone will switch networks.
I found this by accident, because I was out of the country and it was as normal refusing to switch to roaming mode. Then the battery died and I connected power to the phone and booted it, and it suddenly connected to a foreign provider in roaming mode.
Getting back to Belgium, it again refused to switch back, so I verified it by just pulling out the battery and putting it back and the phone successfully was able to connect to Telenet again.
In other words, some component needs to be reset for it to successfully switch to roaming and back. This component does not get turned off when the phone is turned off, so the battery needs to be pulled.
Sorry for the long story. Ok I have a custom CM9.1 R8 ROM for this phone. Im from australia and while the coverage isnt as good as in the USA I had no problems here working via the Vodafone Australia network and sim card. I could browse the web, send/receive mms, calls etc was fine. Yesterday I switched over to the Red Bull mobile australia network because it offered unlimited txt and calls and more monthly data and was cheaper than Vodafone. The Redbull mobile network also borrows the towers from Vodafone so its basically the same network.
Anyway I can send/receive txts and make calls via redbull just fine but I cannot browse the web and cannot send/receive mms. I have set the apn settings according to the below redbull apn settings help tutorial: http://www.redbullmobile.com.au/help-support/internet-settings/
I have set both the mms and wap apn settings but I still cannot browse the web and send/receive mms. I contacted the redbull service desk and all it involved was basically reading out and confirming the spelling of the apn. Which was all correct I did no typos. The analyst then asked me what mobile phone I have and they said we dont have this device on our records and that the redbull mobile network blacklists some devices. Is this possible? It didnt sound right to me because I can send/receive txts and make calls just fine so clearly its not blocked. I get the feeling they didnt know how to fix it and just cbf'd me and decided to end the call and get me out of there. Can someone help me with this issue?
Also if I select restore default apn settings for some reason it puts my old vodafone apn settings, not sure if there is a cache I have to delete? If I go to settings/wireless & networks\mobile networks\network operators and try to search for available networks in australia nothing appears. This has never worked since I put the CM9.1 rom, on the stock rom I did used to get a selection of networks. Im wondering if Im cached still on the voda network?
Well web browsing and MMS are both done over the mobile data (3g/4g) so if you don't have one you won't have the other.
If possible, try doing a clean flash of the latest, r11 if you wanna stick with cm9 or some other ROM. Don't put any APN settings and see how it does with just the red bull sim. If it doesn't, try the APN settings again.
I've seen APN settings not sticking properly so that could be it, try the above steps

The MT4GS is basically an HTC Sensation from a motherboard standpoint. If Red Bull allows the Sensation, the MT4GS should work as well. Especially since the provider is using the same network you previous provider uses.

Hi
I am currently in the US for holiday. Bought two prepaid att go phone cards already in Germany and activated them. The Data connection in my wifes SAMSUNG SIII mini (stock) works as it should.
In my HTC ONE SV I only get EDGE working. No matter which APN settings I use as soon as I switch on something else as GSM only in Network data plan.it disconnects completely from Mobile and states "Service not available"
My SV is unlocked and rooted and running with the Russian ROM
Any quick suggestion what can help,
Edit: I went to a AT&T shop here. They were very helpful but couldn't get it working. Tried more things and at one point all APN settings were gone. After that I tried for the first time the "Reset to default" and it loaded the ATT Phone settings.
After a restart everything works. I have here with H sign in taskbar a download of 5Mbps and upload of 1Mbps.
I attach the screenshots of the settings
Hi.
I have HTC U11, Dual Sim, the International version that I bought from China.
After that, I have changed the CID for it on the Taiwan version.
Currently, it is:
HTC_U-3u
Android 9
Software number 3.22.709.2
Rooted, not custom rom.
I have been used it with several MVNOs (Mint, Hello mobile) that are working on T-Mobile network for the last 1.5 years. Currently, I use Hello mobile.
All worked fine (4g, voice, text, data) until last week.
From the last week, Mobile data is not working anymore. It always shows as "Disabled" when I try to enable it, and no icon in the status bar. Meanwhile, voice and text are working fine.
I didn't do any system updates or new soft installation on my phone.
I tried to reset network data, reboot, checked with support (no issues with my number), checked APN with t-mobile recommended, changed mode on 3g, 2g, and without success, mobile data is not working.
I tried to put my sim card in another phone that I bought here in the US and the mobile data is working fine there, I see the LTE icon, and so on.
Also, I checked my phone with a sim card from ATT, and the same issue, voice, and text are ok and no mobile data.
The Signal Spy app shows me that the phone connected to Band 4 (1700). I checked T-Mobile and ATT websites and see that this Band in the list of supported 4g bands.
Also, I checked the compatibility by IMEI on websites and it showed me that only WiFI-Calling and VolTa will not work on my phone, but common 4g data is supported.
So seems all should be work fine but it is not. I found some posts on Reddit that T-Mobile wanted to change some Bands from 4g to 5g, but I don't know if it is the root of my issue.
Does anyone have this issue with this phone in the US on T-Mobile?
I don't know what it was but today Mobile Data started to work, the whole past week I had no mobile data connection.
