Hi,
I have an AT&T Tilt 8900 (w/o cameras).
I like the phone, functionality and form very much (except the terrible battery drainage, of course).
Yesterday I purchased a USIM (a special SIM card that enables 3.5G usage).
Initially I couldn't browse the Web using PIE, couldn't check emails, etc at all.
I then removed several tweaking apps, and retained only Kaiser Tweak.
I checked the Kaiser Tweak settings, as well as the mail settings, etc.
After all this I found that I could send and receive emails while on 3.5G, but I couldn't browse directly, using PIE, nor access the Web using the links in my RSS reader.
After this I defined my Tilt on my home router, turned on WIFI, and found that these two issues did not exist.
Does any one have any idea which setting could be wrong?
Thanks.
Have you tried turning off the proxy?
At the moment, these are my settings:
I looked in: start-settings-connections-connections-my isp-manage existing connections-proxy settings, and the only thing there is the 1st checkbox, which is checked. That's it.
Is there any other place where I should look?
Thank you.
Did you try to uncheck it?
Yes, it doesn't help.
I get (in the bottom left) corner the same message ("connecting").
After about 20 seconds, it turns to "locating".
Oviously, I entered a valid URL, and have tried others as well.
The connection icon shows "H". And I know that this area has HSDPA coverage. Further, I pressed the "H" icon, and it says that it's connected to my ISP on HDSDPA.
Doesn't work when connected to my PC as well (internet passthrough)
I receive the following error:
The page you are looking for cannot be found due to unknown error 0x80072f78.
What does it mean?

Please help me the connection setup cab, because my S730 cannot setup my network.
Need more information, do you want the cab for the initial connection setup wizard thing?
What type of network are you trying to connect to? WiFi? Phone's network?
If its your home wifi then make sure you have the wep correctly typed in, or is it the other encryption? and you might need to tweek the power options for the wifi so it wont nerf it...
Expand your question and give us as much info as to the problem, might not need to reinstall anything, could but might not need to.
I hv some problem with phone network, during i setup phone network then appear for error in the database. Pls help me for solution.
Phone network is going to be a hard one for us to trouble shoot since we dont work for the phone company, easiest way to try and get it working would be to go into a store and have an employee take a peak at it, however if you orderd it over the internet they might not be able to help you unless they support the device. Going through HTC could take a while.
Now what exactly does the error say? Just "Database error"? Or does it give a refrence code like a windows BSOD will give you a stop code?
To start with I would make sure your SIM looks okay as it could be having issues reading the network info off of it, next take a look in your phone settings, Start>(Option 8) Settings>Phone, theres several in there to look at but mostly go to the next page and into Networks, is your even listed? What options do you have under find a new network?
If you go back into phone under Band Select what is it set to?
If you go back into the main options menu what is under Regional Settings?
And, do you have a signal where your at?
Thanks for your explanation, i only have a problem with appear "error in the database" therefore i can't using GPRS or 3G network for HSDPA etc. I need some setting to run my GPRS or 3G network, because previous HP i'm using i have no problem with above matter.
Did you change anything in the menu's I listed above? It sounds like your saying the issue is only with the network as it applies to data and not voice (phone calls).
Go into your GPRS settings section and let us know what it says in there, did you go into a store and pick up the phone or just order it online? Was your old HP fully 3g / hsdpa ready? Did you change anything on your account that might be killing it on your phone?
Need to know what your settings are before going after it being a phone problem internally, setting, or something up with the network interaction. What are you trying to access? Sending an SMS / MMS or something with the browser or another application trying to use the internet?
Error in the DB sounds almost like its getting a connection but cannot locate your information?
If your browsing something online and get that its usually a browser error in which you can delete your history / cookies or reinstall it or its a website error and its no longer connecting to the DB properly etc.
Do you see an E or 3G on the top of your phone (by the battery Status) at any time?
I never change anything in my S730. I only try to setup my connection wizard in S730 but failed (It called error in the database)
Before i'm using S730, all the network likes video call, HSDPA, GPRS is running well but when i'm using S730 all the above network can't be running well. I only can use for phone and SMS.
Yes Error in the DB is almost like its when getting a connection setup but i never successful to find location the network. Do you have a cab to run the connection setup like HTC Tytn II?
I cannot browsing anything when the connection setup can't be done.
I see in my S730 the icon E or 3G on the top of my phone but cannot running well due to connection setup can't be done.
Hmm, I will see what more I can do when I am at home later tonight. Most of the connection settings will be network specific and read off of your phone, to use 3g and Edge you shouldnt have to set anything up. I just put in my new SIM card, turned the phone on and away I went. The only setting up I had to do was for the Wifi.
Since your phone is recognizing the networks I dont think its an issue with that aspect of the phone, something in the drivers could be causing issues with how it interacts with the network. Could be the sim having corrupt information and a few other things.
Who is your provider?
Many thanks for your assistance. I'm using provider INDOSAT in Indonesia.
I have not seen any other similar errors for INDOSAT on google (didnt dig too deep however).
For giggles go into your start menu and select more until you see the connection setup wizard (earth with a magic wand on it) and see what that does for you.
Does the phone stay in E or 3g mode or cycle between the two at random while your at home? How is the coverage in your area? I dont have 3g available here but every now and then my phone will slip into 3g mode and while its trying to connect for those 10 seconds the handset lags a little but always reverts back to edge and resumes normal life.
If you still have your old handset can you pop your sim in it still have have everything run perfectly? (Assuming you reset the device so the settings are back to stock).
For now my best advice (I am no expert like some of the people here...)
Go into the settings menu, make sure your GPRS settings are as correct as they can be (contact your provider to verify the info the phone is telling you) From the main settings several pages into it is a GPRS Auth... place verify that is set correctly as well.
If you bought this handset brand new you really should be able to just pop in your sim and fly away, MMS requires some setup but the rest is plug and play pretty much. Have you tried a reset of the device in hopes that it flushes out a possible bug and allows your settings to take over?
Thanks for your help, now my S730 is running well for video call and over GPRS.
I have recently procured an HTC Diamond mobile and is facing the following problem:
I have a Linksys Router at home. When I switch on the Wi-Fi in my Diamond, it gets connected to the router. In the status, I can see the signal strength, Tx, Rx rate etc. But when I open the browser (both opera & IE), the web pages does not open. Error message stating check the url or does any other programme using the internet works? appears. Even my weather does not get updated. Using the same router, I am able to connect my laptop as well as my desktop to Internet.
When my diamond is synced using active sync, my mobile is able to connect to the Internet & Weather application also get updated.
Kindly help me to resolve this issue and make diamond connect to net using wi-fi.
Thank you in advance.
I have the same problem sometimes
I just changed parameter in settings -> connections -> wireless lan -> power mode -> "best performance" instead of "best battery" and it seems to work now.
I'm new to WM, so I don't know if it's a bug: when I don't use my phone I press the power button, or I wait it to go to "sleep mode" in 40s.
When I press power button to reactivate the screen, I can see in the first seconds that the wlan was disconnected and connects again.
So it seems that wifi is always disconnected when the phone is in sleep mode? That means no mails can be received ? Can anyone confirm?
Thanks
Hi there for both of you!
I had a connection problem with my Diamond at home. It was almost the same as tkak just I couldn't figure out whether ActiveSync connects or not. I managed to bypass this to set my routers DHCP timeout from 1 week to 3 hours and it all went away. The network status showed periodic connect/reconnect during the problem so it might be a different prob than yours.
Peio64:
WM6 keeps WiFi connection asleep during sleep mode. Imagine the battery usage if it was connected to WiFi all the time. So be happy with that and beside it is usable. WiFi automatically tries to connect to the closest hot-spot if it was connected before each time you switch on. Normally it shouldn't take more than 5-10 seconds and the whole process can be followed on the top bar.
Mails: Use DirectPush and GPRS connection and e-mails will arrive instantly. Google for setting this up. With Wifi I dunno - if you schedule ActiveSync for a periodic check whether your WiFi will be used or a new GPRS connection. I think GPRS can be used while the device is asleep but I'm not sure. Someone should test this. Probably whichever is quicker to build up a connection will be used for data transfer. (Note: on some forum I read that if you disable GPRS auto check with a tweak battery will last longer so I guess this means that GPRS is always connected.
Regs, Cina.
Does your diamond obtain an IP adress from your router, and is the connection setup as 'connects to internet'?

Thank you for your answer,
I had a SE P1i before, and wifi was connected all the time with push mail. With the diamond and its weaker battery, I set up my mails schedule to connect every 15 min so wifi only needs to be active every 15min, even in sleep mode, I don't want it to be connected all the time this is of course a battery waste.
HSDPA is connecting in sleep mode there's no problem with that, I just wish to use wifi for mails when I'm at home as my data plan is unlimited for web surfing but only 10Mo/month for pop/imap connections.
BTW I don't use the "keylock" option, is it different from sleep mode in this case? I can't see the advantage of keylock versus sleep mode
I had an ETEN M600 for ages before and I found that for sync it always used GPRS even if WiFi was available. The cause for this was GPRS was available while device is asleep so it can start syncing immediately after wake up (does it needs to wake up for sync?). So you probably have to switch GPRS (HSDPA) off while you're at home.
Keylock is for locking hardware buttons and touchscreen while it is active. (You won't dial up anyone from your pocket). It has nothing to do with sleeping just if you set up the registry tweak the device get locked (Keylock software is started) if you press power to send it to sleep. (I've almost written "off" but it is obviously not true - you can switch it off with a long press on power = soft reset).
Hope this helped a bit.

Okay thank you, I checked and HSDPA is connecting every 15min in sleep mode even with wifi ON. If I switch data off I suppose nothing connects and no mail is received, which is I think it's a weird behaviour.
By the way, I have set my data connection to swich off 10 seconds after not being used, and it works perfectly and reconnects automatiquely when it needs to. But for the wifi I can find that option, it's stays connected all the time when I use the phone, even if I don't need to. Is it possible?
Maybe it's due to the fact that it's always checking if there are new networks? On Symbian UIQ3, you can pre-configure networks, give manually priorities for each networks (1.Wlan work, 2.Wlan home, 3.3G etc..) and for each application (web, mail, etc). When the phone connects it checks if the network "1" is available, if it's not it checks the network "2", and once it's connected it doesn't check anymore. Is there a WM6 advanced network tool like that?
(Sorry for my english)
I did the following and now it gets connected to the web:
I just changed parameter in settings -> connections -> wireless lan -> power mode -> "best performance" instead of "best battery".
I do not know why this needs to be done like this.
Thankyou all for resolving my problem
I'm experiencing problems connecting to my WL Router (DrayTek 2820n) using WiFi when the router is set to Auto instead of to a specific channel. I've noticed from some threads for other mobiles that people are exprience similar problems. Does anybody knows what is the story around which channels are supported on WiFi: 1-11, 1-12 or 1-13. My router is set to 13 by default. In addtion to that Diamond has problem to connect to some channels even in the 1-11 range. So how can I check, which channels are supported and for which region?
Edit: I did further testing and it became obvious that when using Auto channel selection on the router, Diamond wouldn't connect. When selecting manually any channel between 1-11 it works OK, but when selection channels 12-13 it stops working, which makes me believe that the Diamond doesn't have support for the channels for non-US regions.
Does anybody have any idea how to change wifi region to support 12-13 channels as well? So far I couldn't find anything on the net that would help me doing it. Is it possible that it might be WM 6.1 issue and not Diamond?
HI I am actually having a diffirent issue but still related to wi-fi. When my phone awakes from sleep, it promts me to connect to my wi-fi server at home, when it was already connected jus minutes before. I have to re-enter the pass phrase everytime it awakes from sleep. This does not seem normal as my 6.0 touch didnt do that.
Any takers on this?
For more channels, it depend of US version or EU version. You need to changer your firmware but the problem is that in France for Internet you use PPoA and Belgium PPoE and I do not know if in the US they use the same so you will probebly losse your ability to connect to the Internet. Having more channels is not interesting because you need a hope of 5 between channels ( ex : ch1 + 5 = ch 6 and ch6 + 5 = ch11) between ch1 and ch6 place a ch11 for avoiding interferances. In 802.11g that is a question of scheme.
Sorry for my poor English.
Problem connecting to home network wifi
Hi, i've been using diamond to connect to my wifi home network but since few days is not possible anymore even if nothing was changed in the settings of the router.
The phone recognize the network as available, i push connect, it comes connecting but instead of connecting to the netwok it goes back to available.
Password is correct and the setting are the same as few days ago.
Any idea which setting should be modified?
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,
I have one problem with my diamond. I disabled the "data transfer" with the improved comm manager. I usually use wifi when i'm home, however, i've seen that even though wifi is active, HSDPA connection is activated as well so i got charged, this sometimes happens when updating weather data or downloading emails.
Anyone with the same problem?
Yes - having he same problem.
I have WIFI at home and at work - so i want to use GPRS only when i am outside. never managed to do this - except when i kill GPRS fully - and even then Opera, the weather and push-mail wont work. :-(
WiFi Channels 12-13?
I need to bump up this issue again.
I can't find anywhere in this forum how would you change your WiFi channel range from US to EU (i.e. 1-11 to 1-13). My Diamond was purchased in Australia and I was hoping that the new SW upgrade would rectify that, but it looks to me that's not the case. Any idea if that can be done in registry?
Thanks.
Change Channel range from 1-11 to 1-13
***Bump***
Has anybody got any ideas how to increase the channel range from 1-11 to 1-13?
Hi, I am having a seperate problem from all that are listed. I have the linksys rangeplus router, and my Diamond wont even detect my network when it searches, yet my computer and PS3 do fine. Can anyone help me?
another problem...
Hi,
i have a problem with the wifi on my Diamond aswell..
I have a router at home which is encrypted. When I try to connect to it, I type the encryption key and it says Connected but i cant surf any pages. When i go back to wifi settings my home network switches between Not available and Connecting...
However, when i remove the encryption, everything seems to work fine. Since i dont want to treat my neighbors with free internet, does anyone have any tips for me?
(it is set to Best performance... +i'm sure i enter the right key...)
Thanx
The same over here... I found out, that some of cooked ROMs had this problem, but official worked. Before I couldn't connect via WPA2-PSK AES, all other encryptions worked. Until now... I tried to flash official ROM and RADIO, but it doesn't work anymore. I'm pretty sure it must be hardware problem. I need to send my Diamond to get fixed, but... The closest repair centre is in Prague (GSMobile)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!BUT BE AWARE!!!!!!!!!!!
I owned previously Qtek8310. After I send them my Qtek to replace the joystick, it came back with broken motherboard... This repeated 3 times and everytime they broke something else. I've got my Qtek8310 back as a total crap, destroyed and scratched... I called and send a claim to HTC Europe in London, but nothing happened since then. I don't believe them anymore. If you love your Diamond avoid to get it fixed in GSMobile!
Well i dont have a data plan and only want to use wi-fi when available. Should i delete the gprs settings or is there a program to disable it. I ask this because im afraid of it useing the internet and not wifi. Is there a way to do this. I tried and searched no results
thanks
Do the following to remove any data connections, other than wifi
Do the following..
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks >
(CHOOSE YOUR CONNECTION FROM THE DROP DOWN LIST).
Choose the one you want. Example MEdia Net
(After Selecting)> Edit > Click and hold on the item next to radio button (example MEdia Net).. when the popup screen (similar to windows right click) comes up click on delete. Then do the following. >> General Tab > Click the button "Delete Settings".
Repeat the steps for other items listed on the drop down list...
NOTE - You cannot delete settings for My ISP & Work Network. Which is fine.
Hope that helps.
P.S - If you ever need the settings back again.. run the Connection Setup Wizard again

I made this video so you can see . its pretty simple if you want to use your wifi connection just enable wifi and fallow steps.
start>Settings>connections>advance>Select network> choose my work network on both> then connect to your network and serf the web

Or use Modaco Nodata, which allows you do enable/disable in 2 clicks.....
Bookmarked.
I do it every time I flash, but I always have to re-figure it out.
Thanks!
wow, search could have told you this in no time flat.
I used to have a regular poo poo samsung phone with that irritating buttonmin the middle to connect. Every time I accidentally pressed it, it would try to connect, and I would cancel immediately. Much to my dismay, I still received connection charges just for trying to connect. Fed up, I called ATT, told them my situation, and requested the ability for my ACCOUNT to use internet be blocked--since I didn't appreciate 6-10 bucks in connection charges (sinceI didn't have a plan). They removed it (not just from my phone no., but from all phones on my account) , and anytime I pressed the button, the connection failed. Upgraded over to a tilt, with the same sim card, any media NET connection fails, since any connection is disabled. Ofcourse, removing the bloatware really helps.
Use Modaco Nodata. I am a wifi only. Here @ work, and @ home. So, no data really needed.
I have NO data plan and its the 1st thing I install. It has NEVER allowed any data, and its a toggle. No other setup required.

ONLY ONE way to Disable Media Net (AT&T)
The ONLY way to disable Media Net from At&t is to call them and get a WIX block placed on your account. The downside to that is you lose the ability to send/receive picture messages; regular text messages are fine.
I've tried changing connection settings, band settings, etc...
I've tried turning off 3G.
I've tried NoData.
My Touch Pro 2, WM 6.5, keeps connecting to Media Net.... Until NOW, when I had the block placed on my phone account.
I know this is an old thread, but I've been doing intensive searching on the matter, and this page keeps popping up; so I'm posting to let anyone else who's looking know.
IF ANYONE OUT THERE COULD DEVELOP A PROGGIE TO FIX THIS, I'D BE MORE THAN WILLING TO DONATE FOR IT!! (And I'll bet many others would, too!)
hello,
I have just purchased the new TD 2, it is the first phone of this kind that I use (up till now I have only used Nokia Business phones)
Although I considered myself a person that knows his way around how to use a mobile phone, I was surprised to actually be forced to read the manual for the HTC TD2 - unfortunately the information in the manual is general and did not help me at all...
ok so here are the problems I hit:
1. For internet access I have activated "Vodafone Live!" packet with my network (Vodafone) - (internet works fine with no probs)
However, whenever I am near a Wi-Fi zone I would like to use that Wi-Fi signal to connect to the internet and NOT my "Vodafone Live!" setting.
I could find NO way to select how to use Wi-Fi and not the other preset network. (As far as I can see the phone still uses Vodafone Live! and not the Wi-Fi, although I previously manually connected to the Wi-Fi and I tested on my other phone that it is working...)
2. With my other business phone (nokia) whenever I stop using the internet page the phone disconnects (the 2 arrows disappear) but with TD2 I have the impression that even when I exit from Opera or IE the phone still remains connected somehow to the internet - how can I make it disconnect and not use the battery for no reason ?
The only way I found to manually disconnect it is going to START / Settings / Communications / the Push Data Connection button to OFF.
Is there any automatic way to do that whenever I quit the browser?
Thank you in advance for u`r help

The Touch Diamond 2 will use an active WIFI connection over your Vodafone Live! connection. If you are wanting to connect to a Public WIFI zone, then simply select the WIFI connection that you want from you list on the "Connect to Wi-Fi network" screen.

If this really bothers you there are applications dotted around here on XDA devs that will automaticaly disconnect your internet connection after a preset amount of time. That said though, just because the TD2 has a connection to the internet, does not mean that it is transmitting any data and does not use up any of your internet allowance and also it will not drain your battery that much.
Thank you very much for the explanations and u`r time!
Regarding the first problem above that is good news, although I don’t like it that I don’t have full control over it.
for example I’m going abroad next week for 10 days and I rly don’t want to use the Vodafone live! option as it will cost as hell
an option where I could be prompted and asked if I want it enabled or not - would have been great...
guess ill just delete it from the connections tab and reinstall it when I get back in my country - seems to be the only safe option.
One more thing,
Whenever I try to access a video-clip over the internet (using the IE not the Opera) the phone automatically directs to the program STREAMING VIDEOS program)
And here the clip ONLY works if I select to connect over “THE INTERNET” – why ??
For example if I go to Streaming Videos / Networks, I can find the following:
Vodafone Live!
Vodafone MMS
Mobile internet
My Work Network
My ISP
Work
Secure Wap Network
The Wap Network
The internet
What the heck are all those ??? I only know of “Vodafone Live!” - and the straming video does not work when I select it … it only works when I select THE internet (like I said above)
Ah, if you are going abroad or just anywhere that you don't want to use Vodafone Live!, there is a little application called "NoData" which allows you to toggle your data connections on/off.
Will edit this post once I find where it is again.

As for streaming videos, I've never used it so can't say.

Indeed, NoData is a handy tool.
What you can also use is the following one found on XDA-devs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131
It will automatically turn off your data connection when you're not on your standard network.
It isn't perfect, but it works well and the developer is really listening to all suggestions and very active.
you guys are a pice of heaven
thank you again for all u`r help
question, this program NoData, also stops Wi-Fi data transfers or just network ?
thank you
NoData will only stop phone network connections. You will be able to use wifi as normal.
Hello, I have a HTC TILT running WM 6.1 that I have purchased from ebay.
Recently I have noticed the 'E' - edge icon in the top right of my phone.
I am wondering if I might be being using any 'data' while this is on because I am not paying for an unlimited data plan.
I have searched and tested several programs...
Bandswitch - supposed to allow me to change the bands im using, however I have tried all of the settings and I still get the edge icon.
KaiserTweak - I have disabled Media Net and the other options
NoData - I have disabled ATT ISP GPRS, Media Net, and My Connection
And further more I have manually deleted the settings of these three under ... start - settings - connections - advanced - select networks - edit
----
thoughts? Am I still potentially using data?
ps, off topic - I have always turned my phone 'off' while using wifi and browsing... would I be using JUST the wifi connections while connected?
my my...dude you've got to read the manual that comes with the device. if you don't have the manual, i think you can download it as a pdf.
to put it simply, windows mobile tells you about your currently in-use connections and currently available connections in the following way.
all you have to do is look at TWO icons to get a full idea of whats going on.
FIRST ICON:
in the top bar, going from left to right, you will see a BIG icon that will show one of the following:
1. big "G" (this means that GPRS is AVAILABLE on the cell tower your phone is currently connected to)
2. big "E" (this means that EDGE is AVAILABLE on the cell tower your phone is currently connected to)
3. big "H" (this means that HSDPA/3G is AVAILABLE on the cell tower your phone is currently connected to)
4. a transmitting tower kind of icon (this means that your WIFI is ON. if WIFI is CONNECTED, the transmitting tower icon will have some arrows on it)
5. two arrows pointing away from each other and occasionally spinning indicates that the device is connected to your PC via ActiveSync.
summary: this first icon tells you which data speed is AVAILABLE on your phone network OR that WIFI is on and whether or not you are connected to some WIFI access point OR the current status of the ActiveSync connection.
SECOND ICON:
immediately to the right of the first icon described above, you will see an icon showing your phone signal strength. on the top-left corner of this icon, you will see one of the following mini-icons:
1. small "Y" shaped triangular symbol (the device is simply connected to a cell tower and your phone should be able to dial out and receive calls)
2. small "G" (this means you are connected to GPRS...your data connection may be in use. see summary below.)
3. small "E" (this means you are connected to EDGE...your data connection may be in use. see summary below.)
4. small "H" (this means you are connected to HSDPA/3G...your data connection may be in use. see summary below.)
5. small phone receiver icon (a call is in progress)
summary: this icon exclusively shows what your device is doing with the phone network.
PUTTING THE 2 TOGETHER:
if WIFI is on and connected (you can tell by looking at the first icon) AND your data connection is available and connected (by looking at the second icon), then the device uses WIFI, to the best of my knowledge. if ActiveSync is connected AND WIFI is connected AND your data connection is connected, then the device uses the ActiveSync connection to the best of my knowledge.
its really not that difficult to understand once you grasp the concept. hope this helps.
I appreciate the help, thank you. I bought it from ebay so i just got the model and the charger.
however...

I understand...kind of... "your data connection may be in use" ...
im just looking for a yes or no really. If im texting and just calling and i have an EDGE icon will I be billed for extra data usage?
If the E is in a big square then it's just showing network connected to, if the E is above the signal bars then your data is connected to the network... Since you say using no data i imagine first is applicable
You was already given a rundown and on that info should be able to make your own assumption since we can't see your phone....
Texts and calls don't get charged for data "unless 3G call Video", you would need to be using an application that uses data to be charged for it.

Bandswitch - supposed to allow me to change the bands im using, however I have tried all of the settings and I still get the edge icon.
KaiserTweak - I have disabled Media Net and the other options
NoData - I have disabled ATT ISP GPRS, Media Net, and My Connection
And further more I have manually deleted the settings of these three under ... start - settings - connections - advanced - select networks - edit

to connect to gprs/3g internet, you have to have correct settings, most importantly apn. this is what those tweaks do; they change your apn from correct for example "internet" to "internet00" so only what you really have to do is, make sure it's that way. or no settings at all. withour correct apn you won't connect. nodata works pretty reliable with doing so.
