Since a couple of weeks ago, I seem to be having problems getting a solid connection. I have my device set to check mail every 4 hours and latest PhoneAlarm to dis after 2 mins.
What happens is a get a 3G connection, no data is transfered so Outlook hangs on connecting and the PA software does not dis. Since no data is transfered is not costing me. Sometimes it connects fine, does'nt seem to be a local problem.
Do I need to check settings?? Anyone got them? The phone is HTC branded straight out of box.
Thanks

I've been using my phone with no problems for the past few days, but today it refuses to connect to the T-mobile UK 3G network... as far as i'm aware, i haven't changed any settings! Yesterday i was fiddling around with the MMS sending options... but i doubt this will have anything to do with it!
Looking in my connection settings, my options have been (automatically) set to:
Access point name: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: T-mobile
Password: (automatically filled in, so i dunno what it's using)
Proxy settings enabled, and set to :149.254.201.132
- Can anyone confirm if there's anything wrong with those settings?
- Are other UK ppl using the Kaiser getting any issues?
- T-Mobile wouldn't block my phone from connecting would they? (i'm assuming not!)
Thanks!
From memory the username is wapuser, password wap.
Something strange going on, as I'm on three(UK) and mines stuck on G only, when I have a 3 modem which is happly on 3G, but also my bro is having problems with tmob as well this morning.
I'm hoping it's an issue at T-Mobile's end :S
Grrr no matter what i do, it doesn't connect.... rebooted several times etc... just wont connect.
Where are you located, it could be a Local T-Mo thing, mine at home went off the other month for a day.
I've been on a train all morning from Sheffield to London and have been web n' walking all the way no probs.
Travelled from SE London, now in Central(ish) london (NW6)...
Normally the 3G connection is flaky on the journey in, but i cannot connect whatsoever right now!

I've had temporary problems today in the morning on the way work in London as well, but finally I've got connected. Relax - such problems don't have to mean your device is faulty. Mobile networks also have bad days sometimes, you know.
I've had no 3g for 4 days on t-mobile uk in kent. I normally have speeds of 1mb. Guess somethings broken.
try using user as the username and wap as the password. i had a problem connecting to t-mobile last week, i changed the auto configured setting and put the old user and wap setting in and they worked, oh i also unticked the proxy server option. basically its the same setting i use for my mda vario. it solved the problem though

What's 'officially' the correct details to use?
I can't find it on the T-Mobile site
Ok, now I see...
Had same problem this morning on my way from SE London to Central... It should be T-mobile. The only way I managed to connect was forcing GSM, and then going back to auto. Device quickly connected to GPRS and then swiched to HSDPA...
For settings: there are about 15 different combinations and they all work.
User: user
Pass: pass
That's what I normaly use...
Ah right
Well while i was on the phone to T-moblie, i asked them to activate HDSPA for me Yay!
Will i receive a TXT or something, asking me to reboot my phone once it's been activated? (how long do they usually take to activate it?)
Thanks!
No text and pretty instant without reboot in my case from memory.
BTW I'm in SE1 and have experienced network issues today.
HSDPA will work automatically as long as your in an area that can get HSDPA
Yay, it seems im HSDPA enabled now, and connected! woohoo!
Yes, seems like a T-mobile issue. Can get a data connection (on vpn.t-mobile.uk) but the VPN on top of it does not get through. Ordinary surfing is OK, but updating QuickGPS isn't.
Thanks guys, I was starting to get worried. Had problems with 3G yesterday morning and today. Traveling from Kent into London Bridge
Yesterday I had some problems with my phone suddenly, one thing was the connection to my provider (T-mobile NL).
So I did a hard reset, everything worked fine again except that particular problem.. I tried other radio's but that didn't work either.
It takes about 10 minutes for the phone to get on the network. GPRS doesn't work for some reason but when I turn 3G on I can connect to HSDPA (I leave 3G off when I don't need it to save battery time.
I also bought a second battery yesterday and tested it. I now have the original battery in it again and still the same problem. Normally it connects in 5 seconds. I don't think it's a network problem because my T-mobile Prepaid simcard in a sony ericsson k750i works just fine.
Any ideas anyone? Send for repair ?

EZ just change "wap.voicestream.com" to "epc.tmobile.com" and just select "The network connects to the Internet" DONOT select "The Nerwork uses a proxy server to connrct to the Internet" that all. good luck
my att tilt was working fine, now i cannot access internet and the 3g symbol is gone from signal bar. i have tried soft reset a few times and removed battery still nothing, any ideas?
thanks
magically started working all by itself!
I've got the H symbol, but will not connect
albany problems too
I'm in Albany, NY.
I tried to tether my tilt and use the internet shareing program which has worked perfectly in the past and i could not connect. I tried the "connection settup" program just in case i accidentally messed up the proxy settings or something.
still not working.
can't connect to the internet or send and recieve mail.
i can make and receive calls... but thats it.
spoke to a business partner of mine and they use iPhones. One of his applications that requires internet is not working either... it could be more apps... he hasn't tested as much.
WHAT'S GOING ON AT&T!? please don't tell me we are having an at&t blackout like some other parts of the country has!!
Mine just started working... I think... When it loaded google.com the phone froze up
I'm back up, but was down for 3 hours this morning here in St Louis, MO.
OK, now I have to figure out why PIE locks up the phone
this can be the reason:
AT&T suffering a data outage, again
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/01/06/att-suffering-a-data-outage-again/
I called up customer service and got $2 back on my current balance. Tried to get rollover minutes, no luck.
What's the difference in the H and G icons? I always have H or E but never G.
Hi guys, got the i-9000 from Carphone Warehouse here in the UK about a month ago. Tried to flash JM8 on it without disabling OCLF so needless to say that bricked it (3BC was not enabled).
Sent it in for repairs, got it back a week ago and it's been one problem after another..First I experienced the "ghost downloads" from the Market and I got around those by constantly cleaning cache and data for Download Manager.
Then I noticed that I could not use the mobile internet almost 90% of the time. I mean I tried standing still, from a moving car, from tens of different areas and I basically can't access anything on the 3G network except for an occasional "burst" that makes it work for a few seconds. It just flips back and forth between 3G and H, looks like it's sending and receiving data for a couple of seconds then it just hangs and after a few seconds I get a "cannot display/connect" error in the browser or whatever other program I'm using that needs internet access.
So I thought Samsung must've borked the flashing. I went ahead and fixed my 3BC issue, reset it to factory default, formatted cache and flashed it with PDA JM8, MODEM JM4, CSC OXAJM1 hoping that would fix it. Well, it did fix the Market issues, downloads are now working properly and consistently. However, mobile internet is still borked..the only reliable way to use it is if it switches to G (GPRS)..I mean it's slow as hell but at least it's working..
Is there any setting I can tweak/change in order to make it work a little better or is the Orange 3G network totally crap out here?
P.S. I live around Bradford, UK. I'm on a dolphin 30 plan with included 500MB internet access.

Basically same phone from same company on the same network. Upgraded to Froyo using Kie hack early October and phone running fine without a lag fix and reception /3g working good (in London). If you haven't already done it, get my orange app from market and when you open it you will see option to use T Mobile network. With Orange and TMobile joining you can jump between networks whichever is stronger where you are. You will also need to ensure your network is set to auto and roaming is on.
See if that helps.

I have an HD7 and intermittently I will try and use my phone, I will have perfectly fine signal yet none of my apps email/youtube/facebook/internet explorer/bing search can connect to the web. Signal will be be fine yet they will pull no data.
If I restart the phone it will work again for a few hours and then randomly happen again. Personally I am getting just a little annoyed with having to constantly restart the phone 5-6 times a day. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Just so you guys know I am not trying to troll or dog the OS, merely wondering if I have a faulty unit or if this is an OS issue.

so sorry, but do u have data connection with your current sim/plan????
my last plan did not have data plan on it and the phone did not work until i sudscribed the data...
and u cant set up phone with out 3G data plan...
I faced the same trouble few days ago. I dont have Wifi, cannot download "connection setup", but i flash a Singtel Rom (My HD7 is T-mobile):
RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10_Signed
Then it work, data connection is fine.
For anyone who comes from an Android phone with data service, check with T-Mobile to see if the service is combined or separate. T-Mobile did have two separate data services, one for WinMo and another for Android, and they would not work with the other phone system. This is how it was with my service and T-Mobile combined them for me so that my data service now works with either system.

Yeah I have data on my plan. Data will work fine for hours but then I will put it down while doing something use it again and no data. If I reset it then it works again for a short while until it happens again.

3g data connection is spotty form time to time and place to place... my provider told me that it always depends on how many ppl are using that substation or whatever they call it....

Hi Jason,
Was it difficult to flash your T-Mobile (USA?) HTC HD7 with the above ROM? Did you gain anything else over the original T-Mobile Rom? I presume it will get rid of the T-Mobile splash screen! Cheers.
Running into the same problem as the OP with my Mrs. HD7. Took hers for the last little while and I can do a reset and access about 3 pages worth of info or updates and then it drops. Tried manual apn configuration, automatic and htc connection setup and no luck. This is at all times of the day in all locations so it is not network based or sim card based as I went to the t mobile store and stuck in the sim and was able to access the network with zero problems on all demo phones. Customer care finally agreed to a warranty replacement after some help from a store rep. They would not allow an in store exchange unfortunately.
What network are you with? I get data issues on giffgaff quite a lot. But a reset does nothing about it - it seems to be related to which cell tower I'm bouncing off and whether it feels like giving me data connection (even though signal strength is maxed out!).
I have this same problem, personally ive had it with my HD2. A quick fix for this is turning on and off airplane mode instead off turing off and on your device.
