Hi everyone. I have been doing a tonne of reading trying to figure out a couple of things for my Treo 750.
It is a Rogers phone for which I paid an online service provider to unlock. I am using my FIDO SIM in it without any problems.
It says I am always roaming and although assurances from FIDO I won't be charged Roaming fees, it gets kind of annoying everytime I check my email that it tells me I am roaming and asks if I am sure I want to do this....
So, I understand there is carrier specific info in the carrier.pxp file. I am told the Rogers network code is in this file.
Am I able to edit this to include the FIDO network code 302370 so the phone doesn't think it is always roaming?
Would it be better to unbrand / unlock the phone to WM6.1 via the methods I see here in the forums? [dubLeE's method].
Thanks everyone,
Ryan
It has nothing to do with your phone. It's the fact you are using the Fido GSM card on a Rogers network. It has nothing to do with whether your phone is locked or unlocked, and changing the carrier code won't do anything.
To disable the roaming network check when you check email, from Outlook Mobile go to Tools -> Options, choose the email account you've setup, then go to Send/Receive Schedule -> Advanced Settings -> check "Use automatic send / receive schedule when roaming"
Hi number16. Thanks for the reply.
The "Use automatic send / receive schedule when roaming" doesn't seem to prevent the "You are currently roaming. Synchronizing may result in additional charges" dialog box when the schedule is set to manual. In fact, the checkbox is greyed out and not selectable with a manual schedule. Even with an automated schedule configured, you are still prompted when doing a manual send/receive.
I was thinking that if the phone was configured such that it thought its' home network carrier code was the FIDO code, it wouldn't consider me roaming.
Anyways, sounds like I am stuck with it. Thanks again for the info
I have the exact same problem with my work Exchange email on a Rogers Touch Diamond. The roaming has to be defined by the ROM or registry. When I put my Fido SIM in a Rogers Samsung Jack flashed with the Fido ROM, there is no issue with roaming.
Hi there,
Same issue here, I am using my unlocked Treo 750 from Rogers on Bell network.
It works fine, except for the roaming issue.
How to get rid of that triangle icon on the top?
Were you able to edit the carrierDB.pxp file?
Please help.
Did you change your network settings over to the correct settings for the network of the SIM card you are using?
Unlocking a phone will allow other SIM cards to work, but if you don't change your network settings, then the phone will still try to connect to the Rogers network.
How do i unlock the network, i have a samsung corby phone which is rogers based and am using a fido sim card. Everything works except the internet which comes up as network error. please let me know if you can help. email- [email protected], thank you.

This is a Palm Treo 750 forum. You should find a forum specific to your handset for exact instructions.
In general, your phone probably has a 'Settings' menu which would have some sort of option to edit your network settings. That's where you would make the change. You would have to get the proper settings from Fido.

If I have the APN set to the one for the network of the SIM Card I am using then will I not get charged roaming?
Is it possible for it to actually be roaming and me not knowing about it?
Hi,
When I boot up tmobile with sim card of india it brings me to android image screen. If I choose menu nothings shows up. As I touch the android image it leads me into gmail setup wizard. When I choose MENU I see wireless settings as only option. I am not sure how I can get the usual settings menu option from home screen what people talk about in all their instructions/blogs/articles.
Regards,
Miten.
You need to finish the registration cycle before you have access to the regular system menus.
I think in unmodified rom, the setting to skips registration/login of gmail is still not implemented, so you must login first and then get into the menu
Go through the gmail setup then everything will work.
MTNL carrier GPRS not working
Hi,
I have call plan from MTNL service provider (Dolphin plan). After putting my sim in since the phone does not let me proceed I am unable to make calls. I thought may be I need to do the gmail registration so I enabled GPRS with MTNL provider. The wireless settings MENU which I get I thought I can get it to set me up but I am unable to get GPRS working. Some APN setting I guess means Access Point Node I tried setting with what information MTNL provided me.
Apparently it is not working so I am unable to activate it.
You can search for "mtnl mumbai dolphin gprs" to get some details of what information MTNL provides for gprs.
You can see GPRS settings and at bottom on the page there are phone specific settings. There is none for HTC / Tmobile G1 so I choose manual common settings and tried to setup APN in G1.
So for now I dont have GPRS working. I don't get Wifi \ WLAN related option else I could have used it.
So I think I will have to use a carrier other than MTNL and activate the phone.
When I activate using a sim card from different carrier then when I try to use different sim card will it be fine ? is the gmail account linked to phone or to sim ?
You guys agree ?
Regards,
Miten.
u can just use any other simcard with data plan supported and then login to gmail. after that u can just change the simcard. As far as i know, the mail is bounded to the phone, not the sim.
I just talked to one of my friend who has Airtel sim card with data plan (GPRS). He said that GPRS was activated on his sim card by sms and he does not know what settings they are. When I use his sim in tmobile G1 (my phone) will it be all set or would I have to configure wireless settings ? I hope it auto detects and configures things else I will have to setup APN and hopefully its straight forward in working.
Regards,
works now
Hi,
I used my friends "idea" service provider card which has data plan. He used it on nexus one. I was able to complete gmail account setup. Now I put my card and then went in to register on network to get calling going. Without registering it would not let me do calls/sms. Yet gprs on my MTNL/dolphin service is not working.
Also the bluetooth H700c Motorola headset is not pairing with G1.
Regards,
t-mobile setup for MTNL
Hi,
MTNL dolphin automated process to activate GPRS/3G does not work for HTC dream/Tmobile G1. So needs to ask the customer care folks to manually instruct the exchange to activate it. Ask for expert / supervisor and talk to him to get it processed else you will not get any where.
Once you have your sim activated for GPRS/3G you are all set. You can use it to boot up android. If you cannot get it activated then arrange for one like I did and then you can move on.
The settings are all standard listed as common settings on their GPRS page. No need to setup server, mms etc. Enter only upto name, apn, proxy host, port, user/password.
So let me state that GPRS works fine with MTNL and HTC G1.
I bought an AT&T Galaxy Tab. I confirmed when I received it, data worked, and then discontinued my service.
In the meantime I flashed to Overcome ROM, flashed to JPD to enable phone calls, brought it to Canada and used it there with a Canadian GSM provider, and now am trying to reconnect my AT&T service.
I activated my AT&T service about an hour ago, and everything seemed to be fine. I received the welcome to AT&T text message. However, it just won't connect to any data of any sort.
I've reflashed the modem to JPA, which I've seen people say works on AT&T, without any change.
I've installed the AT&T data usage widget, and it says "No Network Available or SIM could not be verified".
My APN settings by default were set with everything normal except for an empty password compared to what I found online. I tried setting a password and no effect.
Under Settings => About device => Status it shows Mobile network state as either Disconnected or Connecting.
Settings => Wireless and network => Mobile networks => Use packet data is unchecked, and whenever I try and change it, it will change to "Turning on..." and then after a few seconds it will change back to unchecked.
All of the Samsung related data connection toggles like on the pull-down windowshade or on the long press of power act like they're changing something instantly, but have no effect.
Anyone have any ideas on what's gone wrong here?
Someone stated earlier that their tab was kicked off of the network as well. I would try a series of restarts to see if the problem persists. If it does, try contacting at&t directly.
I Haz 3D!

I've restarted it about a million times in the past hour. I'll give contacting AT&T a try, hopefully it won't come up that I'm missing something from the stock ROM.
Called AT&T, they knew absolutely nothing, and couldn't help at all.
I suppose I'll try flashing a few more modems, including stock, and then I suppose I might have to reflash to completely stock if that doesn't fix it.
Try the sim card in another phone. They might not have apportioned it correctly.
Any modem will get you at least voice and EDGE, so don't worry about that now.
I have wap.cingular apn for a voice and data plan.

Hmm I'll see if I can dig something up. However, I'm a little unclear on what will happen because this is the $15 AT&T Tablet data plan, and at best I might be able to scrounge up a phone.
The sim card automatically entered wap.cingular apn on my tablet plan as well.
I was soo excited when I found this thread. This is clearly my situation exactly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1083173.html
I was using the voice APN on a data plan. I deleted all the old APNs, created a new one that is just Broadband/Broadband for name/APN. Rebooted.
Hit connect, and.....it's still screwed up. Now it flickers back and forth on the status page between Connecting and Connected, and the status bar up top reflects the same - I'll see the H with arrows for a half second, and then it'll disappear again.
On the Mobile networks page, Use packet data now similarly flickers between checked on its own and unchecked and gray.
Okay, no idea why, but everything works now.
After Broadband failed to work, I tried changing it to APN Broadband. That didn't work either, so I changed it back to Broadband. Things then started semi-working in that the connection was still flickering on and off, but when it was on, data was actually being transferred.
I rebooted, and now it's fully working. Hope it stays that way. Seems to shift back and forth between H and 3G a lot considering I'm in the middle of a city with full bars not moving, but other than that, all seems well.
It would have been good to know about 1,000 word ago you only have the $15 broadband sim!
Apn is: ATT BROADBAND, and nothing else.

Hmm I have it set as Broadband, not ATT BROADBAND, and it's working for now so I ain't touch it.
Are people able to activate an AT&T Galaxy Tab on anything but the broadband sims?
Yes, I have voice and 3g data by ising a sim from my old android phone.
So I have ICS (AOKP) on my p1000 that I originally bought from AT&T. Since then I flashed the modem and use a prepaid T-Mobile sim card for phone calls. For the next couple months I need a data plan and have thought about using my original AT&T sim that came with the tablet to activate their $15/250mb per month plan. Since it's for such a short time, I would just leave my T-Mobile in for calls, and put the AT&T sim in if I need to check my email.
When I take out the T-Mobile sim and insert the one from AT&T, it says I need to reboot to connect to the network.
Upon reboot, I go into Settings > Wireless & Networks > More > Mobile Networks > Network Operators. At this point it searches for available networks. I see both AT&T and T-Mobile as choices. When I chose AT&T, however, it says "Unable to connect to this network at this time"
Is there something I need to do in order to enable a data service through AT&T? I haven't signed up for the plan yet, because I'm not able to connect to the network.
Thanks in advance.
I should also note that I've gone to APN settings and tried 2 different approaches I've found through these forums:
-The one for "Broadband" as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474419
-This one which is similar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083173
-The one for wap.cingular as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259249&highlight=wap+cingular
I've also tried the T-Mobile modem and the JK3.
I have "Data Enabled" checked and "Data Roaming".
After trying all of these settings, I'm still having the same issue when I go into Network Operators, and selecting at&t: "unable to connect to this network at this time"
Edit: I'd also love to know if, once this is working, I will have to flash the modem since I will be using data only from AT&T
I wonder if its the SIM card itself.
Do you have any other phones you could test it with or grab someone else's AT&T phone?

I hadn't thought of that. Is this anything AT&T could diagnose? I remember when I first got my tab and popped it in that it worked.
Edit: Just called AT&T- the sim expires after 30 days. :-(
I have a rogers tablet. Same model as the at&t? Could i use this with wind mobile, as its the same frequency as T-Mobile?

Yes, as you know, you need to unlock it from your network. I prefer Helroz unlock app free in the market. You will only get EDGE speed data.
So i can use this rogers tablet on wind? Just as a 2nd clarification?

So on Monday ATT decided to deactivate my sim card because they believe my phone is incompatible with their network now. All my bars went to 0 with an x on it and I couldn't do anything on the phone. I went to an ATT store, got them to give me a new activated sim and I put it in my phone and all my bars came back.
My phone says VoLTE again too by the signal bar area. I also tested a text and it went through fine. I received a phone call and while it works fine, it sounds like junk now. Like it is no longer actually using VoLTE like it always has. My phone doesnt seem to have any data however, when it should have LTE just fine. I also cannot make any calls, even though it says VoLTE on the phone, it just re-routes to ATT customer service instead of going through with the call.
When I go into the network area in settings it says no IP address either. I looked and my APN is set to nxtgenphone, Preferred Network Type selected on LTE. Before ATT deactivated my sim card LTE has always worked fine, and LTE should still work fine. It is only the 3G network being shut down. Also given the fact I have the VoLTE icon the phone is apparently connecting somewhat to an LTE network.
So does anyone know how to fix settings to get data working again? Is it just an APN that needs to change? What is everyone else doing with the network shutdown and has anyone else had issues like this?
I had the exact same issue, your issue is in fact APN settings I'm having them as well. Try deleting your current APN and putting in a new one. Once I got a new sim my APN reset I could call but no data and no text. I have half of the APN information in place and have data and basic text, but once I input the MMS port the APN data disappears still trying to figure that out. Not sure if anything I typed is helpful but at least you know your not alone with a mi11 on ATT and it can work

Thanks for the reply. I tried deleting the MMS port and also the proxy just now and data didnt come back. I will try searching around for more APN info for how phones are supposed to connect now and see if I can find anything.
It looks like from what I could find that it is due to an IMEI whitelist ATT has, blocking data connection on any device not in their whitelist. The solution seems to be to root the phone and change your IMEI to a whitelisted model.
While my phone is rooted my IMEI is not cloned I definitely would not share my IMEI with ATT. When I got my sim card yesterday I had the attendant activate but I did not provide my phone so he did not get the IMEI from my phone. If you got a sim and they input your IMEI that could be a problem possibly. Just a suggestion to try and get a sim activated at a store without your phone.
I had also heard that most ATT MVNOs were not having the device whitelist forced on them yet, so I went and tried 2 different ones yesterday. Both failed to get the phone working on their network with their sims.
Before I went through the hassle of rooting (and most likely losing payments) I tried ATT again anyway. I used their online customer service chat and the first person I chatted with said he could help me with the lte data problem and the IMEI issue. I was skeptical, but he actually did fix it all up. He just needed my sim ICCID and my phones IMEI1 and he submitted the info to their backend people for adding to their system. It took almost an hour and a half for it to get added, but overall it was a pretty painless process and I was browing the web most of the time while waiting in chat. I now have LTE data again, VoLTE again, and "5G" too (which ATT 5G is really just one or two more features than normal LTE and is no faster in speed and uses LTE data bands). I attached a screenshot showing the data and VoLTE working on my phone. The first signal is ATT, the second is TMobile (which has always worked and never had an issue, their 3G network shutdown is going on for another 4-5 months)

Happy you are back up and running and I'm glad that you found someone at ATT to do the fairly easy work of getting your IMEI cleared. Lots of people have been worried about devices not working on ATT because of this whitelist issue glad to see there are workarounds just wish ATT didn't make it so convoluted.
