my phone boots and runs android beautifully but my data connection does not work at all
also my wifi is not working.
anytips?
I have the same Problem
I have the same problem. I found a Link to android where the wifi is working
1111www mega up load. com/?d=Y1VDY673 (without spaces and without the ones)
Let me know when you get data to work. thanks
thanks that link is SUPER slow on my comp, but imma let it go
i have no idea how to get data, i think it is a problem with the apn settings and i cannot find any of that information for cellular south
does anybody hav access to cell south apn data, i think that may be wats wrong because the fone says it has "3G" and the up arrow flashes but the down does not and it goes no where
Phone Number is #777
User Name: [email protected]
This user name is usually the same as your phone number.
PassWord: (ESN Hex number in all caps)
Note: ESN = MEID for CSouth Touch Diamond. You can find it behind the battery.
That's the settings for setting up in WM. I'm currently trying to figure out Android myself. I'll post my results.
Edit: Alright, I figured it out.
Create a new APN with the home key.
In server, put #777. The rest is the above information.
did that fix work?
ok this still did nothing for my diamond, what build and kernel and stuff were you using?
Nothing happen to my phone either
i am about to throw my diam500 out the window, ever since i started tinkering with android, it has NOT worked at all, to top it off, it will not sync with active sync or mount as a disk, i want OUT i want REAL android i hate winmo rite now plus my rom sucks, its slow freezes all the time and the sad part is that its the best one ive tried
Lol, Try the gtx fearless rom on ppc greeks website. just google roms for cdma htc diamond.
I'm sorry for not responding, but I seemed to have it working at first. After a soft reset, it seemed to have stopped. Right now, I'm trying to determine another way using other threads I've found across the internet.
I'll try to find a fix, if I can.
Edit: Updating to the latest rootfs, zimage, etc.. Fixed the data problem for me. The APN I have set up is called "Android", APN is "Internet", and APN Type "Default".
Also, make sure you have "msmvkeyb_toggle=off" in your cmdline area of startup.txt or else you have an annoying keyboard that won't go away on the top of the screen. I had this bug during my first turn on with update, but I put this in before booting Droid again, so it may have gone away on its own.
Awesome

Awesome, Its actually working. Thanks
Another thing I'd like to add, is that you MAY have to enter Airplane mode, then exit.
Definitely working for me 100% now, though.
anyone having the problem of the charge light working in reverse of what its suppose to?
my charge light pulses when the phone is not charging and is off when the phone is charging. I wasn't sure if this was a cellular south problem or an overall problem.....or if I screwed something up

I purchased my TYTN II a week ago today, but did not get around to moving my sim over from my Trinity until last friday. when i did everything went well, it synced fine and i got all my data over from my Trin. It wasn't until i came to use the wifi that i noticed a problem! I turned on wifi in comm manager and it quickly found my router (British Telecom HomeHub). I launched IE and the HTC default page came up, so i changed it to google. Then i tried to go to one of the pages from my favorites, but all i get is a message saying "THIS PAGE CAN NOT BE FOUND" or it just times out! so i tried typing in the page and got the same result. So i checked the settings/connections/wifi and compared them to the settings on my Trin. Everthing was fine, though the Trin did have a stronger signal than the T II. So then i checked wireless Lan and all of the settings seemed o.k.
So today i called HTC u.k. to explain the problem, and to be honest the guy i spoke to was quite helpfull. they are going to investagate the problem and get back to me, i HOPE!
Has anyone else had this problem? if so could you please let me know asap so i can let HTC know i'm not the only one.
and one other thing, has anyone else had that stupid charger with there phone?
look forward to any replies
So, is the problem that one phone has a better WiFi signal than the other?
i wish
No it's not. it seems that the T II has a problem with the actual wireless radio, as it won't even download my emails through wifi
Either your WiFi radio isn't working, or you have a configuration issue. Config wise it could be any number of issues: proxy, router, security, etc. I mean, it could be a defective phone. but not knowing how proficient you are with networking, and it being a new phone to you, it could be config issue.
maybe
i did check all the conection settings next to my Trin, and all seems fine. there is another post here titled WIFI DOA i think maybe that guy may have a simular issue
Just FYI, my WiFi grabs email and access the NET, it does it all just fine.
I also switch between 2-5 routers per day and it latches onto every router with no intervention rom me.
reset
I've even done a H/R and numerous S/R and still no joy
If you are sure it is setup correctly, send it back for a replacement. I have no troubles with an almost OUT OF THE BOX setup.
I also have a problem with the wifi, sometime its work and other no response.
I can get the IP but I am not able to browse using IE.
when I am still using Eten M700 I naver have this problem, and i use it very often.
I never need to change the wifi setting.
The error message sounds like a proxy configuration issue. It might be that your router is running in a mode that needs you to set up a proxy, or it might be that you have a proxy configured on the PDA which is incorrect.
You can probably get more help here if you paste the exact configuration information from the PDA, and some configuration information from whatever computer you have and that connects correctly to the Internet through the router. Of course do not include the passwords ;-)
I had exactly the same problem with my new last week TyTN II.
I read this fix from another forum and my wifi now connects perfectly, displays any web page and downloads my emails.
Within settings go to connections, then wireless LAN, within W Lan go to power mode and change the settings from best battery to best performance.
All should now be well.
Three quick questions for you experts...
1. I have attempted flashing a few ROMS to my tilt which is NOT being used on the AT&T network (on Rogers, FYI). When I flash with a Tilt specific ROM I cannot seem to connect to GPRS for some reason...even when I remove the proxy...and of course, I have the AT&T crap on there which I'd like to get rid of. When I flash with an HTC rom, the camera no longer works...I get a black screen. All else seems fine and perfect, but can't live without the cam. Any idea why this may be? Any thoughts on what to flash?
2. I use a dial around number for all my long distance, and pretty much every call. I'd like to set up a rule that for all my contacts, the dial around number is automatically dialed first, ie. 555-555-5555p556-556-5556, but i don't want to have to enter this for all my contacts...would something like this be possible with a script or a different dialer? I tried using the dialing rules but it doesn't seem to work.
3. Does anyone else find that the HTC dialer is insanely slow compared to the standard one?
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give
When you flash a HTC ROM, be sure to let all customizations run. then let the network configuration wizard set up your connection. After that, run TaurusBulba's Keyboard fix and disable the hidden proxy.
Your camera should work fine.
Thanks, but have disabled the proxy and let the customization run, everything seemed fine but those problems remain. I have tried quite a few builds, no dice...either the camera or the gprs won't work. I'll give it another go for the hell of it, thanks
Hi -- I've got an unlocked Kaiser 100 which works fine in other countries (SFR network in France, O2 in Ireland, etc...) and _has_ worked fine on AT&T in America until recently. Suddenly, the data connection has started randomly but chronically started going dead on me. The problem has nothing to do with connection strength: I'm in Manhattan, which generally has excellent coverage, and the connection can be at four bars on HSDPA, and I still won't be able to download _any_ data. Sometimes the four bars HSDPA icon will suddenly change to the no-connection icon for a moment and then return to four bars HSDPA again. And this happens completely unpredictably: the connection is sometimes fine for hours and hours, while at other times I won't be able to download any data for minutes at a time.
I've tried many different connection settings, some with proxy and some without, and haven't been able to fix the issue. AT&T support has been, of course, completely useless, and just stay that these problems happen with unlocked, non-AT&T branded phones.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using the stock ROM that came with the phone (and which worked great with AT&T until recently) and I've tried doing two soft-resets, neither of which have fixed the issue.
Thanks!
Alan
p.s. Does anyone understand why a "search this forum" search for ATT or AT&T turns up _nothing_? There are many posts that mention AT&T, obviously, but I can't find any of them doing a search. I wonder if someone has posted on this issue before, but I have no way to find out.
You didn't disable anything with an adv config tool by chance?
You are sure you covered "disable proxy"?
Settings:
Name: MediaNet
Proxy settings: None and "This network connects to the internet" marked
Access point: wap.cingular
Username/password/domain: LEAVE BLANK (don't ask why just leave BLANK)
Adv settings: User server assigned IP address
IP header compression
Servers: All empty
I had a similar issue a few weeks ago and AFTER removing username and pw all worked out well.
Thanks for the response -- yes, those are exactly what my settings have been too. They seem to be working fine right now, but I'm sure I'll have connection issues again later today or tomorrow.
Thanks!
Alan
Thank you for that. Telling me to delete my UN & password in media net settings. For some reason, that has saved me from wanting to destroy my mother ****ing phone.
With the UN and Password in there, my phone (when in use as modem for laptop) would ONLY allow me to run google searches, and visit the paypal website. Note, I couldn't actually click on any google result, as it would then resort to error 404
Thank you again, for lending me the tip that makes my phone work like it ****ing should have out of the goddamn box
I'm having data trouble as well. Everything worked fine as of last night. However, this morning I found that I could only connect to the Internet with Internet Explorer. Other browsers, Opera Mini, Opera 8.65, all hang. SiriusWM5, SelectRadio, Resco Radio, youtubeplay and other Web-enabled programs can no longer connect. However, QuickGPS still works as does RSS Hub.
I've tried to tinker with the connection settings, including using the advice in this thread Nothing works. I ran connection setup to just restore the original settings. Nothing. I can only connect with IE...I'm posting this message with it. Any ideas on what the problem might be that would allow some apps to work and not others?
UPDATE: Opera 9 and Netfront 3.3 actually do work. Live Search works also.
Is Pocket Outlook working? I just called AT&T because mine stopped working today.
It looks like this is a widespread problem. Mine is doing the same thing. At least we know it is the service and not the phone.
Hust saw this post on another website..
"Just got off the phone with an AT&T Rep. The hurricane knocked something out and the data access is supposedly down in half the U.S. ETA was this afternoon per the rep"
good to know. but why would some programs work and others not? don't they all use the same port/server/whatever to access the Web?
this is still weird. but let's hope it's fixed ASAP.
seems they've fixed the problem.

Cannot explain how a network works in three words but services to support whatever network (DNS, routers, proxy's, NAT servers) are spread all over the US so if a major hub or datacenter has a problem, things go south, at least partially.

Yeah, looks like things are working now.
I've run into a similar issue except that my phone works OK in the US but not in Germany.
I have an AT&T Tilt with the latest official AT&T Windows 6.1 ROM. It works great here in the US. However, when I am in Germany, the data connection seems to drop and the only way I found to get it back is to do a soft reset. It then comes back for a while, but drops again after some time (maybe tens of minutes - there's an X next to the data connection symbol). After the soft reset I am able to connect to download say the weather in the built-in HTC Home. However, after several minutes the connection drops again and checking the weather results in the phone trying to establish a data connection followed by a message that the answering modem has dropped the call.
Anyone know what the problem might be? The issue seems aggravated while connected to Vodafone, less so when connected to O2. After returning to the US everything works as expected again. I haven't done any tweaks to change the data connections of the phone. KaiserTweak sees everything related to GPRS and data set to default. Some people have suggested getting a new radio ROM, but I'm not sure which one would work well in the US, Europe, Japan and Korea.
Try checking AT&T support tutorials at https://www.wireless.att.com/suppor...0&tutorialsCategory=Browser&tutorialId=668770
I have a CAB in the office for intl. data setup. Helped me in Europe all the time, will post tomorrow.

I will try selecting the carrier when I am in Europe next week. However, I'd prefer something that just works in case a particular carrier is not available. I am hoping the radio will work OK in Korea and Japan too.
tyguy: Do you know what the cab changes? Does it change the radio ROM code or does it modify some other settings? I'm curious as to what is causing the problem. Also, is this a one time operation or do you have to keep changing settings when you go between continents?

Would you have it available now? I'm interested in trying it out. Do you have any details on what it actually does?
@emuyshondt
You're not forgotten. I do not know what it does but it worked for me in Europe.
I deleted it from my email since a buddy of mine sent it while I was in Europe and didn't store it.
Let me poke around - I'll come back to you.
Here it is.

Thanks! I'll try it out this coming weekend.
Lemme know.

anybody know whats up?, thanks, the phone is a samsung omnia i900
If you haven't already power cycled your phone (pop out the battery while the device is on and leave it out for about 15 seconds. If that doesn't work you could try downloading a different web browser like Skyfire or Opera mini or just back up your data and do a master reset if all else fails. If none of that works contact your provider.
You may have to hard reset or flash another rom
well i have tried soft reset, ive reset the phone, and i had another rom, that Yonn's SPB or android one, i had OCK's and that worked but that was months ago, the Yonns i remember it worked... i think, but then stopped, then i am on steff195's rom which i like so far, has a bunch of useful stuff in it.....
but i still cannot get the wireless going GRRR....... i had opera in yonns and i do remember now that i had wireless working... but then it stopped working, so im not sure whats up, i think i have wrong settings.... and also with yonns maybe it stopped working when spb was asking me for a license and i just ended up closing it off.....
bumpppppp .....
Would your web worked if you had data through your provider?
These are just a few settings you might check, i'm on a dutch WM6.5 rom so translated the options, might be a bit different on your phone.
start>settings>connections>wifi (or wlan)>advanced>energymode (or powermode)> set it to 'best performance'
start>settings>connections>connections>advanced>choose networks> make sure both options are set to 'my work network'
Hope it works out for you
well the thing is, also i mean my actual network the phone is with, being ROGERS, is not there in the choose networks and its using a "vodafone" but, that does not concern me because, i will not be using any data from them any how, like i said im pay as you go, i make calls, and thats it, and for my data aspect i want to be using the wifi, now i checked, i got a mac address, i got a ip, but i just cannot do as much even as to connect to my own router if i enter its ip in, ive tried what you guys have said, and so far to no prevail......
Hello everyone. As you may guess from the topic title, I'm having a rather serious issue - my Captivate is no longer connecting to 3G or even to Edge - though it connects to Wi-Fi just fine.
It all started about a week ago, but has since progressed to a frustrating degree.
Basically, I was running Cognition 3.03, and everything was going fine - and then after hitting Flight Mode, I couldn't reactivate my data connections. I'd reboot the phone, and I'd be able to connect for about a minute or so after booting, and then Flight Mode would re-enable by itself; needless to say, it was very frustrating.
After looking around the Internet for some help, I eventually flashed what I presume is supposedly a stock rom - specifically I897UCKB1 - and thus we get to my current issue - no 3G access at all, no Edge, though I can still make and receive calls and send and receive text messages.
I guess it should be mentioned that I've had the phone about a year and a half (got it in November 2010, and therefore not up for a new phone until then), and generally put it to heavy use data-wise.
I had read somewhere that it might be an issue with my SIM card, but switching SIM cards with my dad did not solve the problem at all.
Could it be a problem with the modem or whatever that connects with the 3G network?
Thanks for your help (and for reading all of that!)

It does sound like you're having a modem issue. The easiest way to correct this would be to go to the Modems thread at the top of the Development section and find a modem that works with your ROM (KB1). Flash that from recovery and see if it fixes it.
If not, you may need to flash back to stock and re-flash Cognition.
Also, check your apn settings. There's an option to reset to default. Try that.

Sorry it took so long to reply - my home Internet access is... not good, so I have to go into the public library to do anything for the time being.
Anyway, my phone was being unruly and wouldn't let me do anything last night after I downloaded the modem that's supposed to work with my ROM - I couldn't even root it for whatever reason. I'm in the middle of downloading the supposedly official stock Gingerbread ROM (KK4) and I'm going to try from there later tonight.

Unfortunately I don't see anything about that. I go Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile Network, see Access Point Names, and it says it's empty and asks if I want to add an APN. I have no idea about what to do with that, so I'm not going to try right now.

once you Get to the screen asking if you want to add an apn, hit menu. One of the options should be reset to default. If you have no apn, that would explain why you have no 3g, etc.

Thanks for the quick reply.
When I go into Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks, it brings up a list of four items
-Use packet data (with the checkmark)
-Data roaming (with a checkmark, unchecked)
-Access Point Names
-Network Operators.
Clicking Access Point Names brings up a notification box APN Empty: Add an APN? Ok/Cancel. Hit OK, and it brings up a list of things for me to type in - hit menu and it only brings up Save and Discard. Hit Cancel, and it takes me back to the previously listed four items.
Clicking Network Operators shows Default Setup, but it's grayed out, and pressing the menu button does nothing.
Sorry for double post, but good news!
I flashed the 2.3.5 ROM I mentioned above, and it all works now!
