[Q] WAP Proxy seems blocked; trouble-shooting hints ?

Hi all.
I'm an embedded Linux developer but am relatively new to Android.
My phone, an LG Optimus Chic is network unlocked but not rooted. Running stock Froyo 2.2.1 as received from Bell Canada last week.
I have the ADB shell available, but not as root. I'm looking for any trouble-shooting hints about what to look for.
The problem: I'm trying to get WAP proxy working because I'm using an MVNO of Bell (Presidents Choice Mobile) that offers cheap unlimited mobile browsing and I refuse to pay the going Canadian rates for data.
But I think the WAP Proxy is blocked, on the phone and/or on the Bell network. With the same APN settings it works on a Bell SIM with a data plan (but using the WAP APN), but does not work with the PresChoice SIM with a UMB plan.
I tried the IP Data APN, but when using the PresChoice SIM it depleted my $10 prepaid account down to $0.35 very rapidly, LOL. But just doesn't work using the WAP APN.
Using "adb shell ping" I can see DNS resolution is OK and the ICMP pings work fine. Is there any Linux utility like wget or even some "cat" command I can use to try and trouble shoot this ? I'm also wondering if there's a place that network operators would usually customize something like this.
Thanks much ! Config is below: (BTW, full data APN is "pda.bell.ca")

There are probably specific APN's for your carrier alone. I'm also in Canada. I'm on SpeakOut. And they offer a very similar UMB plan. I had to punch in their APN codes (Google is your friend), and use an all called Proxydroid to force the settings through. That helped me. Just Google the settings, assuming there are any.

Can't connect to network?

I just bought an Inspire and I can't connect to Att network. It shows the H+ and shows that Att is my Newtork Operator but it wont let change any of the settings or scan for other networks. I had a HD2 that was unlocked and work like a charm on the network but now it won't let me play with the settings. Do you think that I have an old data plan back in 2005 that was unlimited to my Sony Erricison?

Your data plan has to be 4g otherwise it won't connect to the data. You can keep unlimited also.

The H+ usually means that you are connected to the data network. Are you sure it isn't a H with a check mark? Which means that you aren't connected to the network. To use the default APN settings you have to be on a "4G" plan, like the previous poster said. You can always add an APN to the list and use it as well. I had this issue when I first got my Inspire. Try these settings.

I just figured these out today through trial and error. I got the original settings from my ATT Samsung Infuse and went from there, after trying all kinds of info from the net that didn't work.

After you enter this make sure you hit menu and SAVE the settings!!!
I was able to send texts to email addys and download/receive pics after I put these APN settings in. There was a slight delay at first but I restarted my phone. Now, it works with no problem.

No 3G on Sensation XE with AT&T
Hello I just rooted my HTC Sensation XE and i am very happy to have it, but there is one problem I live in New York city and I do not get 3G, it works on my Xperia play fine but not on my sensation. I also heard that the default radio uses 850 band which AT&T uses and I was wondering is there was a rom that would free up the 850 band?
Thank you in advance!

Never going to work on AT&T 3G. The 850 band on this device is for 2G (GSM GPRS EDGE) only.
Bands:
GSM (2G) - 850, 900, 1800, 1900
UMTS (3G) - 1700, 2100, 1900

guess i have to choose aether a new phone or a new phone company =[
any suggestions?

Unlock your xe and use it on Tmobile

Its unlocked and thank you for your help.

[Solved] ATT Data APNs?

Is it possible to use any APNs for ATT&s data, like LTE or, HSPA+, or any other 3g/2g that would work? I am unlocked my sidekick recently and am only able to send/receive text and make/receive calls but can't find any working APNs.
:good: Thanks in advance.

Or point me to a thread for all of AT&Ts APNS for a thanks

AT&T uses a different kind of network for mobile data, I don't believe it's compatible. Compatible north american networks would be T-Mobile, Wind and Mobilicity.

Unlocked Galaxy s8+ (G955U) getting extremely slow LTE speeds on Cricket -

Backstory: I purchased this phone from Samsung because of the trade-in promotion they were running. I traded in my AT&T Note 5 (N920A) where I had great LTE coverage in most places around where I work/live, unless I was in an area of a building that restricted reception. Before the N920A I had the international Note 5 (N920I) and it worked great on LTE as well.
I live in a suburb of Nashville, and the Cricket coverage map shows great LTE coverage where I work and live (I live less than a mile from where I work) but I'm getting less than .5mbit down/up around this areaeven though my phone shows that I have 4 bars LTE. With that said, there are other areas around town where my LTE is just fine and I get the advertised 8mbit download speeds that Cricket offers.
Are we sure that this unlocked version of the S8+ has all of the LTE bands enabled with its stock firmware? Apparently is has all of the bands, but do I need to flash to the AT&T firmware in order for them to be activated?
Edit: XDA won't let me post outside links to show screenshots of APN so I'll post below.
