Hi,
i've got a HTC titan 2 which was given to me as a gift by my gf in States. the phone is at&t but unlocked. now i am in Uk and using t-mobile uk on the phone. everythng works fine but i cannot use mobile data on it. i downloaded the htc connection setup but that doesnt work on the phone either, it gives this error "the carrier doesn't exist in database".
i've tried to add APN manually but the add apn settings on the phone does not allow me to setup APN completely as it does not give me full options which it should to setup apn. it gives following options
APN , User name, password, Proxy server/URL, proxy PORT.
it doesnt ask me MMSC MNC, MCC and all that.
so if someone could please guide me what to do.
your help would be really appreciated.
thanks

I have HTC HD 7. Previously I had Tmobile and now i just bought Straight talk as my network provider. How can I set up APN so i can access data on my cell? I am able to make calls and sms, NOT MMS and internet? can someone help plz
Try HTC Connection Manager first. It should be in your HTC Marketplace. It should automatically set your gprs. In case it doesn't do that, ask info about APN from your provider so you can type it in manually.
Did you even try a single search? Like, "Set APN on WP7" or something?
Settings -> Cellular -> Network Selection / Add APN.
Alternatively, the Connection Setup app (as recommended by @hatuna; it's in the HTC Apps section of the Marketplace) should work just fine.
I am running into the same issues as OP. When I search for "Setting APN on WP7" the responses indicate the steps to edit / create APN's for the AT&T sim. For the T-Mo sim's, Straight Talk wants us to add Port information but no Proxy and WP7 won't let you save settings if you have a port # but no proxy value.
Try adding it as "my.apn.domainORT", like you would for a port on a web browser.
Alternatively, try using the proxy port, but setting the proxy name to the APN as well.
Finally (first, really), have you tried Connection Setup yet?
Finally managed to make it work. I used these settings :
APN - wap.tracfone
Proxy - 216.155.165.40
Port - 8080
Leave username and password blank.
I am getting 3G speeds with this setting.
I tried the HTC Connection manager but it doesn't have an option for StraightTalk. I did try Tracfone as an option but it didn't work.

Did you find that the Tracfone option reverted to T-Mobile USA after you selected Tracfone and returned back to HTC Connection Manager? Also, did you find a place for the MMSC: http://mms.tracfone.com setting?

Hi, I'm way in over my head here and sure could use some help!
I have Galaxy S2 SkyRocket i727, gingerbread 2.3.5 that I purchased off Ebay. Great phone unfortunitly my carrier dosen't sell or support this phone. They only carried a couple smart phone choices that really wasn't much of an option so I just took their free phone hoping I could just insert my Consumer Celluar Sim into the Galaxy. Everything works fine except, no 3G data connection. I have one of the "Connect" dataplans CC offers but am unable to set the correct APN setting on this phone.
The stock AT&T rom apn setting do not allow me to enter some of settings for CC like Proxy Push.
These are CC web apn configuration settings
Name: Web
Proxy Push: Enabled
Authentication Type: Secure
GPRS access point: att.mvno
Homepage: mmsc.cingular.com
I'm wondering if I root the phone and flash a custom rom would that allow me to enter the correct APN configuration settings? Is anyone aware of a custom rom out there that would do this or have any other solutions?
Leon
I think once you're rooted and flash a custom rom on, you'll be able to enter the APN's manually. I have the skyrocket and flashed DJ ICS Plus V2.0, wickid rom btw, and I'm using it on straight talk. It allowed me to put the APN's in manually while deleting the previous APN's already on the phone.
Thanks Pak, I'll give it a try and see what happens.
Custom Rom for Galaxy S2 SkyRocket
I flashed the new ROM DJ ICS Plus V2.0 but am still not seeing how I can change the APN setting to work with my carrier Consumer Cellular.
The carrier data setting need to be
Name: US - Consumer Cellular Web
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: Enabled
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
Authentication Type: PAP
APN Type: default, supl
In the S2 Access Point Setting there isn't a field to enter Protocol and no "supl" APN choice. Also if you don't include 310 in the MCC field and 410 in the MNC field you can't save the Access Point settings at all.
In regards to MMS Protocol, I'm assuming the rom has it already preloaded to WAP 2.0 or something since thats what I needed it to be anyways so I didnt have to enter anything. For APN type, I selected "internet" for my data and when I had another APN set up for my mms, I just selected "mms". In regards to MCC and MNC, you should be able to enter the 310 and 410. It shows up on mine.
Your right about WAP already being configured because email and other connections work. Messaging works too, just not data. I tried internet and internet & mms options for the APN Type but neither worked. I also tried inputing the server name of mmsc.cingular.com as suggested on their web site for non-Consumer Cellular phones but no luck with that either.
I had to leave 310 MCC and 410 MNC values in those fields because it would not save the Access Point if left blank or with any other values input.
the link below probably wont be much help but he had his proxy set up as proxy.mvno.ccmobileweb.com, maybe that will make a difference?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904249
I had seen this site before also, tried it but no luck either. I must be missing something altogether here. You wouldn't think this would be such a difficult problem to solve.
dude I don't know, I know you probably did this but did you put "http://mmsc.cingular.com" instead of "mmsc.cingular.com"? I dont know if the http in front will do anything.
These guys below say you can only get data using EDGE, not while 3G is turned on (mind you its an iphone). Maybe turn off your 3G and see if it picks it up?

Is your SIM card designed to handle 3G data connections? Not all SIMs are created equal, after all. Granted, you'd think that recently-made SIMs would support 3G, but you're not always going to be so lucky. I know this was a major issue once upon a time when 3G networks started to roll out more consistently and not everyone had a 3G-capable SIM.
In other words, has this SIM been able to talk to 3G networks before? Or is this the first phone you've put this SIM card in that has 3G?
If your SIM doesn't support 3G, ask your provider for a 3G-enabled replacement SIM.
Let the yelling begin. Just got my G2x from ebay
Used the Nokia E71 sim that I already own
Straighttalk tech support said I need to get a new sim and phone number.
ATT said I do not need a new sim. SO i came here
Phone works, texting works, WiFi works after setting apn= ATT.mvno

any ideas.
so if everything works, whats the problem?
the problem is no data . no internet
That would be a sim issue. You may need an unlock code to have access. Other wise check your vpns

Well alright, I just read phone works text work and so on... try putting in the apn's in??? I just googled this try looking more if it doesn't work for you. Other than that maybe SIM???

unlock code
I think the phone is unlocked. That is they way it was sold . Says t-mobile on it but when calling or txting displays att ( that is the nokia e71 sim ), and the the att.mvno that I entered .
How do I check if it is unlocked?
If its unlocked it should all work. http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html Try looking through here. US is almost all the way at the bottom. Not sure exactly what your using. Not sure if you need the sim carrier or the baseband carrier.
Edit: oh, and if you have access to the phone when you put your sim card in, you said your making calls and sending texts. Yeah, your phones unlocked. The internet thing though is a little weird.
straight talk g2x
It could be the way straighttalk connects to internet. The sim from E71 nokia works with I phones and straighttalk can't find any info why it wouldn't work with android. Thanks for your input.
Lg G2x on straighttalk setup that works
Here are the steps I used to get MMS working on Moto Backflip with Android 2.1
First download Apn Backup and Restore app from app store, and delete all existing APNs. Then manually enter APNs. In android you must have 2 apns setup for mms to work (at least in my case).
Here are my settings:
Name
HOME
APN
att.mvno
Leave everything else alone EXCEPT the bottom selection that says:
APN type (here you must enter the following)
default,supl
Then save, next choose to add another APN
make it look like this:
Name
MMS
APN
att.mvno
skip down to
MMSC
http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy
proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port
80
skip to:
APN type (enter the following)
mms
THEN SAVE
You will see that only one APN has the option to be chosen, that is ok, Just choose the one that is able to be chosen.
Now go back to Homescreen and then reboot your phone.
This works for me, hope it can help you. I tried a hundred different ways and this was it. Capitalization is important, and the APN type was the trick.
GOOD LUCK and let me know if it worked for you.

it works 2g where I am now but I am in
Did you get the data to work? I've been considering going to ST. I've had them before, and for a prepaid company, had really good experience with the service in my area. The same can't be said for Tmo
Lg G2x on straighttalk setup that works
yes it works. The configuration I used is posted a few days ago. The speed for connection shows 2g. Other than that it works well. I am looking for the code to get 3g now. If you read the code above you will see the words tracfone. That is a 2g network ( I think ). I think I have to change that.
Well it's all the same company. Not sure how they handle that. I wonder if it might have something to do with using the SIM you used, (which would make ST right when they said you need a new one.) In any case, I'll just be buying a SIM from them to use on my phone, so maybe it'll work out fine. Unfortunately, I'm still under contract at the moment, so it may be a little while longer.
Straight Talk works well on the default Tmobile ROM, but I just upgraded to Eagles Blood and the T-Mobile SIM settings do not work at all on Straight Talk (for MMS+Internet). Does anyone know of a fix?
These are my settings:
Name: Straight Talk
APN: wap.tracfone.com
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.tracfone.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260

Hello, Im hoping someone could help me.
I live in a rual area in Arizona. We only have one carrier and its Cellular One. From my understanding its totaly
different than the Cellular One on the East Coast.
All the phones they sell are unbranded. Wether its a cheal flip Nokia or the GS3, their unbranded and most are the
International versions.
I like to use unlocked phone's from either tmobile or att. However I always have a problem with data.
Cell One offers 2 different Internet packages, here are the apn's for their data.
Basic Internet-
apn= wap.c1csky.net
proxy= 209.4.229.94
port= 9401
Smart Phone Internet-
apn= isp.cellularoneaz.net
no proxy or port.
MMS-
apn= wap.c1csky.net
mmsc= mmsc.c1neaz.csky.us:6672
proxy= 209.4.229.94
port= 9401
Here is where my problem is. Lets say I enter the basic Internet setting and the MMS settings in the phone. My internet
will work and so will pic msg's. However I cant download anything or i cant login to Facebook. Every site I try works except
Facebook.
Now if I change the apn's to Smart Phone Internet then all data works downloads, facebook etc. But picture msg will not work.
It only happens with unlocked att or tmobile phones. If I use one of their phones its not a problem.
Sorry the post is long... hopefully someone can help me figure it out.

AW: [Q] APN and Data Help
Asked the Hotline to send you a message with the right apn settings? They send a text message that sets all the required inputs. Or add one apn with the mobile Internet details and another one with the mms settings.
Sent from my Nexus 7
I just bought a Z3 D6616 off of eBay that was listed as "Unlocked". To me unlocked means that it will work on other networks, so I did not worry that I was going to use the phone on AT&T. I got the phone today and took it down to get a NanoSim for it (my old phone used a MicroSim). The guy at the AT&T set it up and got the sim installed, and the phone can receive calls, but it has no data service at all. I mean none!. I looking through every article I can find online and they all say that the D6166 is locked to T-Mobile and cannot be configured to receive data on the AT&T network.
Is this true? I really like this phone. Is there any hope of fixing this problem? Please!
Check you APN info.
Settings > more > mobile networks > Access point names
Then press the plus sign and enter the details for your carrier. That was how I got mine working.
You mentioned AT&T, I'm going to guess in America and a quick google search gave me these details
https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KB424489
APN - phone
Password - Not set
WAP Gateway - proxy.mobile.att.net

Thanks, but I tried that first thing and it did not work. I spent hours on the phone with AT&T and they gave me all the settings over the phone and it did nothing. Do you have the Z3 model D6616 or the D6603? The D6603 can be used with AT&T, but so far I have found no way to get the D6616 to work and nobody else that has either.
I have the international D6616 version with an unlocked bootloader. Changing the apn was what worked for mine. I am connecting to a German provider, so maybe it is an At&t issue.
It's very possible that the area you are in does not have the supported ATT LTE band that is compatible with your phone. Since the D6616 was designed for T-mobile, it will only have Bands 2, 4, and 12. ATT's primary LTE data band is Band 17, and that is not supported by your phone. ATT also supports band 2, 4, and 5 as well, but there is a good chance that those bands are not in your area by ATT
