Can't connect to internet via 3 mobile - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have an x1 and have just signed up with three due to the unlimited email available in the $8 classic internet pack. I use email a lot!
I have not been able to access the internet despite having the correct APN settings (3services). I've tried with another phone and did not have issues so its the phone rather than the sim.
I called 3 customer service and they werent able to assist - said that as its not a 3 phone that the services are not guaranteed.
Does any one have any ideas? I'm in Australia.

X1
I'm having the same issue, I use internet on the phone over data in the 3.5G network. On other phones connection stays on 3.5 but on winmo the connectivity seem to drop all the time. It's pretty annoying having to reconnect ur data connection all the time. I had this problem on samsung i780, HTC Touch Pro and now i bought a xperia x1 cos i love it. Due to this i'm finding it difficult to use apps on my phone.
Any particular reason for this or bug we could fix. A tweak or reg edit we could try. Pls help

Need connection setup for S730

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.

[HELP] GPRS not working

A strange problem..
I recently got GPRS activated on my sim..
When i try connecting on my Diamond, the E becomes active and it tries to connect.. But after abt 30 secs to a min, it says "Cannot connect for an unknown reason... etc etc.."
I initially thought it was a problem with the network..
But, when i put the same sim in my old Asus P525, set up the connection and tried to connect, the G became active and got connected within a few seconds!!!
From then i've been tryin to connect on my Diamond and have got connected about twice with E in the signal bar.. But that must've been some freak accident cos after a few hours i tried connecting w/o changing any of the settings and absolutely no luck!
I've tried almost all the cooked ROM's. And different radios.
Right now i'm on the Official WWE ROM 1.93.
Hard SPL 1.23 or 1.24.
And 1.00.25.03 Radio.
Any idea about what's wrong, guys?
Make sure you have the correct GPRS/WAP settings installed on your HTC Diamond.
There are different settings for Payandgo and Contract SIM cards.
You can try searching Google for them, or if you live in the UK try this website: http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html

prank1, the settings are right..
That's why it's working on my old phone..
I think it may have somethin to do with Edge and GPRS..
Maybe my service provider does not have Edge capabilities..
If i'm able to restrict my Diamond to try and connect to Edge and connect to GPRS instead, it may work..
Any way that could be done?

My bad - didnt see the 'set up connection' bit so I assumed you didnt have the correct settings.
I had this problem once but it went away with a ROM upgrade - that was when I had the XDA Orbit.
The problem may be that my phone does not try connecting to GPRS and directly tries to connect Edge..
Isn't the connection supposed to be G-E-3G, in that order?
Is there any way i can prevent my phone tryin to connect to Edge?
Can i make GPRS as first preference instead?
Anybody? Please?
From what i heard my diamond doesn't support US( or Canada which is where i live) 3g because of diamonds hardware so that's why it only connects to edge which is really slow... anyways to connect i had to phone rogers my wireless provider and they gave me my username and password which was needed to connect online. So i'm guessing it's the same for you if you go to
Settings > Connections > rogers internet( for mine) > Manage existing connection
from there you'll go to the next page where you can input your info.

Hey.. That doesn't seem to be the prob since i can get it to work on my old PDA with the same settings..
That phone gets connected and it shows 'G'.
What might help me is somethin to block my phone tryin to connect to Edge before it even tries to connect to GPRS..
I don't think that's practical, but wishful thinking..
I've had the same issue with my Diamond, I know for sure that the network settings are correct as it sometime connects fine and other times I keep getting the "Cannot connect for an unknown reason..." error- only a soft reset would resolve the issue. Seems a bit random but am trying to monitor what is causing it.
It always used to work fine on my Hermes. BTW I'm using Dutty's ROM on my Diamond.

Yeah.. Sounds almost like my prob..
Could it be a rare manufacturing defect sort of thing thats affecting our phones?
Cos nobody else seems to have such an issue..
And i keep changing between Dutty's and Panosha's ROM..
I don't know if it's same problem you have ,
but I had kinda same problem..
I found that the lame ActiveSync change the proxy of my internet connection and put in the internet connection proxy my local proxy at work, even I removed the proxy it didn't help (dunno why) , just by adding new connection from the advance and adding new name etc.. it solve the problem...

I've only had my Diamond (MDA Compact IV) for only about 3-4 weeks. I was so keen to flash to a different ROM that I did so within 10-15 hours of receiving the device; my point being that I didn't get to try out my data connection on the stock T-Mobile ROM.
The connection seems to be fine today...!

Hmmm.. I don't think i have the exact same problem, but somethin similar..
I'll try adding a new connection..
Thanx..
As I know something with Activesync **** the GPRS connection..
Let us know if you solve your problem with new connection...
Ok.. Note the "E" in the first pic and in the second..
The first one is 'clear' and the second one is 'hazy'!
When the "E" is 'clear', my GPRS connects!!!
I found this out after putting a different sim card of a different network and connecting..
When i put the other sim card, i got 'clear' "E" and GPRS worked..
Then i put back my old sim card and on switching on the phone, the "E" was still 'clear'!!
On tryin to connect, it worked!!!! Even after several manual diconnections, it worked only cos the "E" was still 'clear'..
Then i reset my phone with my sim card and got the 'hazy' "E".. And back to square one.. Not connecting..
My question is, what does this 'hazy' "E" mean and how do i make it 'clear'???! Only then my GPRS seem to work!
Help!!!!!!
This is how it is when connected properly..
Cannot connect for an unknown reason
I also had this problem. To make my story short, I have a data plan with Claro Peru which I have been using with my Touch (not 3G phone) with no problems. 3 days ago I acquired my Diamond 3G US version. When attempted to connect to the HSDPA I got the error mentioned here (cannot connect for..., sometimes the "H" symbol was difusse [like in the picture in a previous post in this thread], etc). The root cause of this was that my data plan only have GPRS/EDGE activated, my network provider (Claro) differentiates 2G internet vs 3G (so no HSDPA/UMTS until subscribing to a new plan).
The **SOLUTION** for my case was to select under "Select your network type" the option GSM (Start, Settings, Phone, Band tap). The option Auto was the default. Thus restricting to EDGE my data connection (which is according to my plan). Also, on the same tap I selected UMTS(850+1900)+GSM(850+1900) under "Select you GSM/UMTS band". You have to select here the frequencies according to your country.
P.S. The problem was the same before and after I updagred my ROM to RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship. So, two things to mention here. 1, A ROM upgrade is not the solution for this problem (in my case). 2, you can upgrade the Diamond US version (my is DIAM110) with a WWE ROM upgrade.
Hope this help someone.

I have the Diamond on T-Mobile in the UK with the web'n'walk plan (HSDPA enabled - although not the higher-speed "plus" version). This happens to me every single time I'm in a GPRS-only area - when I have HSDPA coverage, it connects fine. In order to get it to connect, I have to open the Comm Manager, turn off the data connection and re-activate it.
Before anyone asks, my connection settings are all correct and I've tried numerous different main and radio ROMs - nothing makes a difference. I'll give this a shot, see if it makes a difference.

OK, I would try the option Auto for the "Select your network type" so the phone auto negotiates the technology in use (between GPRS or the much better HSDPA), but change the option for the bands according to your country.

problems with TD 2, pls help

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.
[edit] Here it is:

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.

Turning off Data Connection

Hi All,
I'm going to the Middle East for two weeks, I currently pay for an unlimited internet/data plan from O2 - but I don't think it covers me overseas.
Is there anyway I can turn off the Data connection part of it? So I don't receive any emails and can't access the net. I don't want a huge bill when I get back!!
Also - is GPS free? I have downloaded Middle East SatNav.
Thanks!

You can try an application available known as "no data", it will list you the active data connections and an option to disable them.
As for GPS yes its free as your phone act like a receiver for the signal from satellites and not fomyour service provider, but for the map to load you will need data connection and that you know it well that is charged... but again if you have downloaded maps and using some GPS software that accesses the maps stored on phone, then its FREE
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
has anybody got a updated no-data app that works under Win 6.5.5 ? The one I used in the past doesnt even open under the rom I m running now.
Any advice?
modified version, not sure about wm6.5.5 (says only it works on 6.5), give it a try and you will see
cheers

Which service am I using - HTC TYTN II Kaiser

Hi, I have been using a mobile to just talk and SMS. Few days back bought a HTC TYTN II Kaiser and this was a quantum jump for me. Question - 1. Is it possible to have WiFi, GSM/3G and Bluetooth services active all the time ? 2. How do I know which service is being utilised by an application to communicate with outside world ? I want the phone call and SMS to utilise GSM/3G and all other to use the WiFi (home broadband). Appreciate help in laymans language. Thanks.
Most of that can be configured in your Connection Settings, go in there and take a look around.
Having everything on at the same time will severely reduce the time your device's battery will last. You may wish to rethink.
Thanks folks. I could find the setup for SMS and phone. SMS and Phone through O2 (current service provider). This is what I wanted. I now need to direct everything else to go via wireless-broadband.
@ stuntdouble
not to mention that WiFi and Bluetooth on at the same time is a trainwreck.
Thanks for the causion. I intend to turn on WiFi or Blue when I want. So no issues.
Pop quiz for experts. I see an 'E', '3G' or a 'G' at various times as the active connection medium. To connect to the internet using my home broadband, I turned on the WiFi and saw the WiFi icon in the place where the above symbols appear. Does this mean that the WiFi is active & connected to the Internet AND the 3G or GPRS or E is deavtivated ? Internet worked perfectly. Is there a priority among the connecting medium/protocols ?
