Internet with Lebara UK and Galaxy Nexus? - General Questions and Answers

Hey there,
I purchased a Lebara pay as you go SIM card yesterday in the UK to use during my holidays.
I created an internet profile with the details from http://lebara.co.uk/settings
However, while calls and texts work fine, no internet connection can be established.
At the Lebara customer service hotline they told me that the galaxy nexus was not in their list of supported devices and that therefore they could not help me.
Does anyone here know a workaround to set mobile internet up for lebara UK? I cannot believe that there is no way to do this.
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Cheers

If you have set up the APN information as for any other Android device then you should be fine. They don't know (or care) what you are connecting with. I know it's probably not easy, but your best bet would be to try the Lebara SIM with the same APN settings in a different Android phone and see if they work.
As another thought - what connection are you getting on your Nexus? Does it definitely support the correct 3G frequency that Lebara uses?

Hey there,
after having fiddled around with the settings for quite some time, I managed to make it work.
For future reference, this is the profile that did the trick (it differs from the one given at the lebara website):
Name : Lebara internet
APN : uk.lebara.mobi
Proxy : Not Set
Port : Not Set
Username : web
Password : web
Server : Not Set
MMSC : http://mms.lebara.co.uk/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy : 212.183.137.012
MMS Port : 8799
MCC : 234
MNC : 15
Authentication type : < Not Set >
APN Type : default,supl,mms
APN Protocol : IPv4
Bearer : Unspecified
3G speed is very decent!

GPRS settings for T-mobile? Anyone?

Hi, i got a XDA and hope to upgrade to an XDA II soon, however, i can't seem to get my GPRS enabled T-mobile sim card to work on it. T-mobile just can't seem to be able to help at all either.
Is there ANYONE out there who uses T-mobile on their XDA to surf the net etc? Little help please on the settings etc.....
Thanks!
My settings say (Wm2003) internet2.voicestream.com for T-Mobile internet and internet3.voicestream.com for T-Mobile VPN
Hope this helps =)
Sorry, just to verify...i am referring to T-mobile in the U.K.
T-Mobile GPRS
Hi,
Hope this one help. You have to go to connection setting and make a new connection.
Connection: T-Mobile GPRS
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access point name: general.t-mobile.uk
User name: user
Password: one2one
It works for me on my xda2.
Good Luck,
Fresly

thanks a lot! it works now....time to start using that 100 megs a month.
hehe.
Hey Fresly, You sorted me out too. I was gonna call T-Mobile for the GPRS details but usually get the run around from them. Your settings are spot on .
BTW if I leave the GPRS on, am I charged anything or only if I look at stuff? I know that WAP is 10p a min but I am a little green on GPRS.
TIA

VIRGIN GPRS settings

Despite all my efforts with Virgin Mobile in the UK I cannot get the correct GPRS settings. They claim their network supports GPRS.
Has anyone set it up?
virgin gprs settings
What are you settings?
Virgin GPRS
I can connect using the setting supplied on the virgin site but I cannot browse web pages - I get the page is not available message box.
I do get the small [GPRS] displayed at the top of the internet explorer bar but havent managed to view a web page or use MSN messenger over GPRS.
If any one has I'd love to know the settings please : )
Ian
It could be the same as O2, you are allowed only wap access over gprs.
GPRS on unlocked O2 XDA
Ok is anyone using a UK unlocked O2 XDA2 using a PAYG SIM (any network - dont mind) and able to browse internet and use msn messenger?
If you are please can you let me know the network and your settings? I have read most of the previous posting and have not managed to set up this up yet - surely its just me being thick and it's possible
Many thanks
Hiya
yes used both O2 and now virgin in an unlocked XDAII - at this moment trying to figure out the settings for it all but getting there - will update soon.
GPRS on unlocked O2 XDA
many thanks look forward to your reply - can you detail all the setting you are using under connections etc please?
Not too bothered about the MMS but would definately like to have web and msn working
regards
Ian
Ok here are the settings, but i am having problems - if i use the IP it doesnt connect, but if i don't it connects but i don't get any response from pages - i have noticed the xda is deleting the zeros(shown in red) - but as i gather this is normal for an IP to do this? (sysadmins advise?)

[Q] GPRS Settings for EtiSalat - Afghanistan

Help Needed!
I am currently living in Mazar-E-Sharif (Northern Afghanistan).
I am a current mobile subscriber to EtiSalat. I have activated the GPRS plan and applied the required credit (1000 af) to actually run the service.
I have contacted customer service (888) and the second I mention that I have a HTC G1, they immediately say that they cannot provide support.
Anyways, I told them to activate my GPRS regardless.
Well, 24-hours later, it worked! Like a charm.
About 4-days went by and no problems. Well, as of yesterday, my phone has decided to not even recognize and EDGE network.
So, is there anyone out there that could possibly help me by providing the APN for EtiSalat - Afghanistan?
This is what I got so far:
APN: etisalat.af.wap
Proxy: 10.0.0.172
Port: 80
Thanks in advance.

thanks

Anyone have any luck with this? I'm bought a sim card and am trying to get it to work with my modem, but cannot get the internet portion to work.
Use these settings...
I am in MeS as well.
I unlocked my T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant and these settings worked...but I just got a Galaxy S II from Amazon the other day and of course these settings work for this as well, since it is already unlocked.
Check out this thread on here...these settings work...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426045
Any more XDA Users in MeS/ CM?
I spent a year there I gave up on Etisalat it sucked there AWCC rocks and better than others there much cheaper too.

Etisalat introduced HSPA+ a few months ago. Truly awesome for this place.
How can it be awesome? The APN settings are keep secret for some reason. I paid for SIM, and data plan. The APN settings they gave me dont work, and their customer service (888) is nothing but a bunch of push 2, push 4 recordings.

Name: web
APN: Etisalat.af.web is all you need.
Thank you for the reply Szadzik. Still isnt working for me. I have tried the following:
I get the Edge symbol with these settings
APN: etisalat.s.wap
proxy: 10.0.0.172
port: 80
MMS Proxy: 10.0.0.172
Port: 80
MCC: 412
MNC: 50
I dont get anything with:
APN: etisalat.af.web
rest default
Im starting to wonder if my Unlocked Samsung Vibrant can handle the freqs Etisalat uses for Data. I am sending text, and making voice calls no problem.
Etisalat-Afghanistan GPRS/APN
I'm at KAIA using an Etisalat SIM that I purchased Jun 2011. Data worked fine the whole summer using the little (overpriced) Samsung BT3410 I had to buy because my old WM5 finally gave up the ghost. Was back home ~1 yr then came back here last month (with the Samsung for local and HTC7 for other stuff). Seems Etisalat changes the settings on a whim and I had a heck of a time trying to find the right info.
So, as of today (2012-11-04), Szadzik's two line response is correct.
-- Set the "Name" to whatever you want (I usu put the APN name).
-- Set the APN ("Access name" on some devices) to "etisalat.af.web".
-- Clear out all the other settings (e.g., Proxy, DNS, UserName, PWD) and save the profile.
Once I did that (and obligatory reboot), all was good, relatively speaking (the phone itself blows so no great loss if it gets eaten by an MRAP).
@lostwhat83 (and anyone else that pulls the settings directly from the AFG Etisalat site), the information posted on the site is wrong!
--==--==--==
On a similar topic, anyone know how good the Etisalat signal/speed is at RC-SW? Heading there shortly...
thx,

[Q] How to tether on a Samsung Focus with lycamobile UK?

Hi I just got lycamobile in london, and Id like to tether using a samsung focus from 2011 that I bought in the USA.
Well Ive been tethering using vodaphone in London but recently changed to lycamobile, I know lycamobile allows tethering, but I need to know the settings for the dial up connection that I need to setup on windows (PC), in order for me to tether using a USB.
Vodaphone details for the connection are:
phone number: *99***#
username: wap
password: wap
NOW ID LIKE TO KNOW THESE SAME DETAILS FOR LYCAMOBILE, THANKS A LOT.
Hi,
I guess I've got almost the same problem except I want to use my GS4 as USB Modem.
I recently moved to London, I've got a GS4, classic ROM at the moment, just took a Lycamobile Bundle, 3Gb Data and configured my APN as follow:
Name: lycamobile
APN: data.lycamobile.co.uk
username: lmuk
password: plus
MMC 234
MMC: 26
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default,*
Roaming is on and wifi is off.
When I connect to my Windows 7, it detects the new NDIS but says there's not internet access, the windows diagnostic didn't help at all, it says everything is ok.
Lycamobile doesn't help for other devices than mobiles.
The reason why I'm asking here for someone tell me what could be wrong or if you resoved yours and can point me to what to do ?
Thanks,
-Fred

WAS working here and then, stopped working (DE, although the network config is probably similar).
Have yet to figure out what it is.
Lycamobile (.de)
lmde

data.lycamobile.de
DNS resolution is working, but data doesn't pass. The client gets an IP then nothing. It will be investigated further.
If other people can offer updates, please post them.

Have you guys figured this one out? I have exactly the same problem, but with Lycamobule netherlands.
Hi, I am having the same problem here with LycaMobile in the UK, I tried to tether but to no luck at all, having the same situation in what DoubleFX is having.
It seems their tethering detection system is hot on it and knows somehow that ANY other device is trying to connect through to the internet.
Same problem here in Portugal. Anyone was able to tether with success in lycamobile sim? Thanks
http://kenstechtips.com/index.php/tethering-on-uk-networks
Lycamobile doesn’t allow tethering on their network. The terms and conditions pertaining to tethering can be seen on the Lycamobile bundles page (scroll to the bottom and click the small link saying ‘Terms and Conditions’):
The offer is for non-commercial, private, personal use only – Lycamobile reserves the right to withdraw or suspend the offer or to disconnect you if we suspect that offer is being used for commercial purposes, for conferencing, or if it is not being used in a handset (in a SIM box for example), if it is being used for tethering or if any reason Lycamobile reasonably suspects that you are not acting in accordance with this policy where we consider that the usage was illegitimate.

Tariff Information: Lycamobile Website
One can tether but the client phone must be rooted, you need to download TTL application from the playstore in case of Android, dont know if there is a similar app on IOS, and on PC you ll need to change TTL setting on the PC (google how to do that).
Change TTL value from 64 to 65
Thats all
start hotspot on the Lycamobile phone and on the recieving phone or pc change TTL TO 65

Networks works, but no cellular data - Help me please <3

Hi guys.
Alright, so i just got a HTC One M8 with Windows, and it seems to work fine on regular network (calling, texting etc.) but i cannot for the life of me get data working.
I've set the APN correctly and it shows H+, but webpages do not load.
Have anyone experienced anything like it before?
There is some options i can change in Service Tools (##778#) that could look like it could do something. I really hope anyone can help me :')
Regards
Marc

Network works,but no cellular data
Hi,
I am using this phone in India. I was also facing the same issue where H+ shows but data does not work. Later on in APN settings i just filled the APN address. Leave the all the other fields like proxy and port blank. Just add the APN name. It should work. Also make sure that the country is chnaged to ur current one . Data does not wrk if we set it as US. I made the above chnages and now everything works fine call and DAta.
