HTC Mteor GPRS Settings?

I have just got the HTC Mteor but I can't get it to work with GPRS on orange PAYG or Contract. I saw some files on this forum but it won't let me run them on the phone. Can anyone help me set it up please?

sorry to havent answerd your question in other thread...
when this from my post don't works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1244877&postcount=8
just google for the correct settings from your provider!!
or just call them that they say you the settings!!
also my provider has a map on his webpage where i can check what coverage is available in my location!!
also when you see the 3g symbol in top bar you are in a 3g location!
maybe you must have a special contract with your provider to start connections in 3g area?!
just try to set bandwidch to GSM (means only GPRS/EDGE) and test the connection!!
if this works your provider maybe have lock if you haven't a special "3g Contract"

I tried to contact Orange but they didn't have this phone on their list and then they gave me some settings that didn't work?
I don't think this phone works on 3G actually. I know it has GPRS covergae because there is always a letter "G" on the top of the screen. If anyone else has this phone on Orange then can you let me know what setting you are using please.

when your provider supports 3g then your phone have no problems!!!
UMTS is supported by mteor from factory out!!
HSDPA Supports is added with actuell Shipped ROM !!!
when you only have the G icon it means you have only configured (in bandwitch selection gsm) or your network coverage has only GPRS available!!
just check the settings under settings/phone/bandwitch(?!)
there are 2 lines first band: 1. AUto 2. GSM 3. WCDMA (=3g, hsdpa)
2nd is the region... should normaly be on auto...

I just checked the setting that you mentioned and it was set to auto on both options. I tried setting to the 3G and it said that it was not possible to connect when I typed in an internet address on internet explorer.

maybe you have not 3g coverage at your location!! or your contract didn allow 3g connection!! ask your provider!!
when configuring the data connection look to the modem options there you can select different modems .. just try gprs only

Can’t change network and roam with Att tilt

Hi,
I have an Att tilt (stock) and at work I loose phone signal.
I had a similar issue with my sprint phone and phone service. When the setting for “roaming or sprint network” was set to “automatic” I would loose signal all the time. Instead for the phone locking into the roaming stronger signal (Alltel) would try to lock into the sprint weak signal all day (going in and out resulting in lost calls). When I had that setting to “roaming only” it would lock into alltell (the stronger signal) with 5 bars.
On the tilt when I go to phone/settings/network the only option is “find network” and that option looks for att and not anything else. Is there a way to force my att tilt to roam only and therefore lock to the alltel network (very strong signal)? Or expose all the available networks and choose which one I want to lock in?
Thanks for all the help, this is a great forum

cannot locate different networks
im having the same problem. phone has bad at&t signal. I cannot locate a diferent network.

Forcing roaming with tilt
I guess the question is…Is there a way to force roaming only in a stock att tilt?
Thanks,

Bump
Anyone?
Thanks for the help

Bump again....I want to know the same thing. I have free roaming, but I can't get it to roam.

PRL file
Bump
Does the phrase “PRL file” provide any help?
Is this an editable file that can solve the issue?
Thanks

I'd like manual n etwork selection as well, but you may be roaming and not know it. AT&T sets up all their phones so it looks like you are on your native network, even when you're not. I had bypassed this and enabled manual network search on all my Motorola phones, I'd like to do the same here with my Tilt.

i suggest setting the band in settings/phone to wcdma. Try it.

I don't have that setting. AT&T removed it. In 3G mode the field test doesn't do much. In GSM mode it seems to work well.

The stock HTC ROM allows this, but it didn't seem to do anything. I know because the ATT HSDPA network is available at my house (barely), and when I lose it it switches to a full signal Edge.
But! If I switch to GSM it seems to lock to the much better Edge signal at my house instead of the HSDPA. That works for me, but will it limit my signal elsewhere?

I had the same problem....the network found was AT&T all the time and no signal, so I place the Sim in a friends Nokia with manual network selection and choose T-MOBILE, place it back in my tilt...problem solved !!
Note: I'm an international user, only use roaming when in USA. But this may help you guys !

[Q] Is there a way to disable roaming?

I have a quite rare problem. I'm in Ireland and use 3 operator. It does not have coverage on many places and it has some kind of contract with o2, so whenever the signal it lost, phone automatically switches to o2. Problem is when I'm back in place with full 3 coverage again, WP does not switch back. I have to select network manually several times a day. It's very annoying. Is there an option somewhere in settings to disable roaming completely? I found it only for data but I need it for calls. Phone is Lumia 920.
Thanks

I imagine specifying your network provider as "3 IRELAND" or whatever it's called will stop it from connecting to O2? The setting is under Mobile Network (under the roaming options, at the bottom) and is set to "automatic" by default.

First thing I tried, but it did not help. Maybe problem is that the other network has same name - probably to ensure seamless switch. (it's actually Vodafone, sorry for my mistake: http://www.vodafone.ie/aboutus/media/press/show/BAU002953.shtml )

I'm not saying I'll be able to help, but could you elaborate a little on why roaming comes into this? Are you changing countries between two places where the operator is called "Vodafone"?

No I don't. It's actually a funny thing. I live in Dublin and yet you can find here many places without signal coverage. I think, but not exactly sure that 3 is the last operator who entered on a market here, so it does not have proper infrastructure and negotiated with Vodafone national roaming for places where native 3 signal is not available. In general it's not a big problem, you can make calls like in your home network, price is same, you can even see on your phone you are connected to 3 network but with a roaming. (because in fact you are connected to Vodafone)
I'm trying to disable roaming completely because mobile data on the roaming are just GPRS while in native 3, you got 3G.
It would not mind me if phone would automatically switch back on 3 when available. (when I had WP 7 it was doing like this) But now with WP8 the behavior seems to be changed and as soon as it enters the roaming it never reverts back to native network unless I manually select the 3network again.

[Q] Unlocked but no mobile data

So I've recently purchased an unlocked Sprint HTC One. I am able to use my current tmobile sim and am able to send/receive calls and texts. The only problem however, is that when I try to turn on the mobile data, it won't connect and just says "disconnected." Can anyone shed some light as how I can approach and resolve this problem?

Does the phone's GSM radio use the same frequencies for data that T-Mobile uses?

I know that the Sprint HTC ONE doesn't have the 1700 Mhz band, only the 1900Mhz. I've read that even if I'm not in an area that is refarmed to the 1900Mhz band, I'll still be getting edge. I live in the Los Angeles area so I'm more than likely to be in an refarmed area.

Connect to wifi and update PRL and profile.
If nothing, try forcing hands-free activation. In the dialer: ##72786#

You probably need to setup T-Mobile's APN to get the data to work. Not sure how to do that on the One though.
BTW, expect GPRS/EDGE data to be quite slow, even if you do get it working.

I haven't had to do anything special with APNs for Tmo data. I get Edge in the non-1900mhz areas and HSPA+ in the 1900mhz areas.
In the Mobile Settings page... I have all roaming guard options unchecked. GSM data checked. Set to GSM/UMTS only. Search for networks.. click on Tmo... and away I go..

I've tried unchecking all roaming gaurd options and I still get the "disconnected" message. Do you mind sharing what your APN settings are?

I've never touched anything related to APN. just select TMO after the network scan and use. Id assume the APN stuff is auto-populated by htc/sprint settings built in.

I tried resetting the APN to default and reconnecting to the TMO network, however, I still can't get any mobile data. I'm hesitant to seek TMO for help as often times, they'll just reply saying that it's a Sprint model, so not everything will work.

So I got the mobile data to work, however, only when I'm out and in certain areas. At home, it still says "disconnected" however, if I'm out in some areas, I'm able to connect to the 1900MHz band. Is there a reason for this happening? Mind that I was only probably a mile away from my house.

Was there a solution to this ? This is my problem also in los Angeles

[Q] VZW DE in France?

I'm going to France with my VZW DE, unlocked and rooted.
Can I buy a French sim card (do they have nano cards??) and it will just work?
Or do I need to do some APN magic?

You can get nano sim in France and it will work with Verizon. They'll either have original nano or they'll cut it for you. You won't have LTE though cause Verizon supports only 750MHz LTE. But that isn't big disadvantage as 3G is really fast and widely accessible.
APN is usualy set automatically, depending of chosen mobile provider. I assume that you want to use mobile data too, therefore I recommend either Lets Go Data Sim of Orange France if you can get along only with data plan or LeFrench Mobile packet with Transatel group Sim if you want to have full option (talking, sms, data). Lets Go Sim is available in Orange Boutiques throughout France, just ask for the 'Pass Prepaye Let's Go SIM'. You'll pay €10 (about $14) for 1GB lasts 7 days and you can get topup vouchers in the same shops. Manual setting - APN: orange, username: orange and password: orange. For Lefrench mobile you can find full instruction in English at: http://www.lefrenchmobile.com/en/data-bundles.html.
In order to save on calling to the USA you may want to set voip on your phone. You have broad specter of providers as Skype, maybe Hangouts or others which operates with preset SIP on your phone.

I thought I could find nano sims, after all Moto X is sold in France.
My phone is a Verizon Wireless CDMA phone, though it does include some UMTS bands:
850/900/1900/2100 . The LTE bands are 4/13, which I don't believe are used in Europe, as piskr said.
The real question is about the APN. Right now the APN is set for VZWINTERNET. If I insert an Orange sim card, will the phone automatically change to the Orange APN? If not, how do I add the Orange APN? piskr gave the Orange APN settings, but how do I add them ?
I now use CSipSimple and Zoiper ( iax works great over mobile ), so I'll get the Orange Pass Prepaye Let's Go SIM. $14-15 for 1gig over 7 days is a real bargain, especially if the 3G is fast enough for voip.
The only problem with a data only plan is the inability to text.
Thanks for all the help.

UMTS frequencies used in Europe are: 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz and they are perfect match with your phone so you are set. And don't worry, Europe put a lot into 3G development, you'll have mostly everywhere HSPA+ that means more than enough bandwith for voip. European LTE bands are with rare exceptions 3,20,3, therefore you won't have LTE but I'm certain that you won't miss it either. But remember: Orange Fr blocks voip so you may rather opt for another provider or enable VPN. You certainly can't have sms service with voip but on the other hand texting is cheap and if you can use voip calling you wouldn't depend much on sms.
Regarding manual APN settings there is no hassle with that. You can add or remove right away any APN you wish: go to settings - mobile networks - APN (and save it). I use 3 different as you can see from attached picture. In rare occasion that your provider blocks other APNs you'll have the chance to set it as soon as you change SIM. If it won't be set automatically.

Do you have the Verizon Wireless Developers Edition - XT1060? I 've got developer options on. My APN screen (Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Acces Point Names ) shows only the VZW APN. The Menu on the upper right has only one choice: Reset to default. If I choose that, I get 9 APN's - All VZW.
A Long Press on the VZW entry, allows editing.
I don't see any option to add an APN.

Just had a long talk with L2 Motorola support. There should be a add button ( a + enclosed in a circle ) on the top right of the APN screen. There isn't on my APN screen. The suggestion was that it was deleted with 4.4.2.
Sigh

It wasn't deleted. Possibility to add APN is SIM card dependent. Inserting the different SIM card will enable option to add APN. I'm on 4.4.2 and able to add as many APN's as I wish.
