Hello,
This is my first post, but i hope i'll get an answer.
I recently installed Android on my TyTN II.
I live in Holland and therefore i have a dutch sim card. The sim card comes from KPN, just to let you know.
My problem: i can't configure any apn. If I click on Access point names to configure an access point, a black screen comes up with a title bar saying APN. Nothing else on the screen.
So, how can i configure an APN?

I have recently bought a MDA Compact II of a mate of mine. It used to be on T-mobile but has been unlocked and currently has an o2 sim. I have had some problems though. I cant seem to use my o2 GPRS settings in the device, or send MMS messages. When i take a picture using the camera, then go to send in a MMS the device freezes and i can not get back to the main screen. Also, when i try to send a file through MMS using the file manager, nothing comes up.
When i go to send a new message, i click on the menu button and the Insert Item field is greyed out. Does anyone know the problems i am having and how to fix them?
Thanks in advance for any help.
PS: Not much of a problem but wonder if it can be fixed anyway. Is there a way i can change the boot screen picture? It has the t-mobile design at the moment.
Hi. First of all, i'm not tiny bit as knowledgeable as the gurus on this board, but this seems to be solvable by my bird brain, so here goes.
First of all, I think you should do a hard reset and before the T-mobile customisations begin, you should soft reset to prevent T-mobile gprs and mms settings etc from getting installed.
Then you can install or configure O2 settings.
For boot screen, you need to CID unlock your device and then splash the required boot screen. There was quite a discussion in the Charmer forum about this. You might want to check the Charmer threads. Loads of information there.
Hope some of this helps. Cheers.

1.- Settings: Delete all the T-Mobile connections, and create your own according to carrier of the SIM you are using. Doesn´t take much to figure out how to I wouldn´t recommend to stop the customisation where the extended ROM is deployed, you may find useful settings in your Ext ROM.
2.- Splash screen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=253308
Good luck!
I have done a soft reset before customization begins, but my o2 details do not seem to want to work when i test them. The splash screen thing looks a little complicated and i will read up on it sometime.
Now for my other problem. Does anyone know why when i click "Send to MMS" after taking a picture the device locks up and i need to soft reset to use the device again. And also why is the "insert item" field greyed out in the menu when creating a new SMS?
By the way thank you for the other advice. I will be reading up on it very soon.
moved to charmer.
since soft and hard resets have proven futile, you may want to try a rom upgrade to see if it makers any difference.

Help
I have a mda compact 2 mobile and when I try to connect to gprs it says:
no modem at above number.
and to let u know I'm not using T-Mobile network , and I tried to do soft rest befor the T-mobile settings downloaded and it still the same problem
please help
thanx
thx guys ..my phone is back to life ..lot of thanx love ya
I was confused... I cannot dial out any phone number... only can receive..
I try to install my sim card in another handset, it is work.
who can help me?
thanks.
Need more information to help
What happens when you try to dial out (any messages given)? Have you run through the Connection setup (under settings) for your country and operator (I assume it's a TyTN II we're referring to since we're in the Kaiser forum)? More information about your phone/ppc, sim, country and network may help.
Hate to ask the obvious: did you try a soft reset?
Where I dial out, the phone will alert "Bi Bi Bi Bi". Of course Tytn II... What you mean by "Connection setup"? in my Connection session, I only can find Tasks and Advanced but not country and operator.
I using Orange UK.
And soft-reset many times.
thanks.

Had the same symptoms occasionally when connected to 3G on my P3600. Turned out it was a network problem. Network hardware was upgraded a couple of months later and no more problems since (P3600 and P4550).
Try disabling 3G, maybe it helps....
how can I do that...

Read the manual or (translating from a German device): Phone -> Menu -> Options -> Band -> network type : select GSM.
This may or may not help, but it´s worth a try.
Good luck!
I have followed your guideline but still not work...
And I cannot access to 3G, GPRS now... Crazy...
My mistake......you should of course select GSM - typo in above post.....
If it still doesn´t work, I´m afraid I´ve no more ideas
Opposite
I have quite the opposite problem on my elf - Outgoing calls are possible, but no incoming calls. This sim card works fine on another phone, but does not work on another touch. Other sim cards work fine.
Any ideas anyone ?
( I know it's the wrong forum, but am desperate .

Cool man. It is work. But Do you know why I cannot set as Automatic? is that mean I cannot use 3G now???
Looks like it is indeed network specific. You might want to contact your provider and see if they are aware of any problems. As I said, my network did have the same issues occasionally and I believe Orange in France had some troubles as well about a year ago or so.....

Well with my (HTC branded and non network customised) TyTN II, Connection Setup is the name of an icon in Settings, Connections Tab. It allows me to select the country and network and the program configures the rest.
I using Orange UK.

Ah that may explain it. If you have an Orange provided version of the TyTN II, they may have customised the options on your phone to remove that program/function. Connection Setup is explained in my manual immediately after the section on Comm Manager (pg 163). I'll be interested to hear what your network provider has to say about the problem.
Hi
I just got on at&T 8925, I put in sim card and it did not ask for unlock code, so I guess it is unlocked, I put in my sim card (Fido Canada,works in other phone) and it show "no service" can not find phone network signal.
I tried
ATT ROM 1.57.502.2 and
RUU_Kaiser_ROGERS_WWE_1.83.631.4_radio_sign_22.51.88.13_1.27.15.32R_Test.exe
radio 1.27.12.11 and 1.27.15.32
all same problem.
Can anyone help me, are these rom combinations not good? or something wrong with the device?
or anything I need to do?
thank you for your help !
Try another known-good SIM card. If you still cannot get service, then you probably have a hardware issue with the phone.
Sounds stupid, but did you make sure you put the SIM in the right way around.
You wouldn't believe how many people have not done this right.
Sounds like it's not unlocked... when I got mine it wasn't unlocked but it only asked for a code once.... just run the unlocker to be sure...
maybe to hard reset?
Hi thanks for everyone's help.
I think I put the sim card the right way , otherwise it will show 'no sim card'
I am keep trying other rom/radio; still no luck, it either keep searching or say 'no service'
I really hope it is not hardware problem.
hope if anyone has the experience and could help me
it really confuse me.
Thanks

welll this might be a little solution i read in another thread...sum times the phone will not read the sim becuz its not making enough contact to the phone...so maybe a little piece of paper on top of the sim then put it in the phone MIGHT help..if it doesnt then ur phone is jacked up =P
or
when i put my tmobile sim in my unlocked 8925 it worked and then a couple our couldnt get n e service... and i checked my brothers phone and dad and they didnt have service too... so maybe sumtimes the network will nto work for a while. or sumthing
If you go in the phone options and do a manual network search, does it find anything?
Thanks brian_v3ntura:
but I tried paper, same thing, maybe not be contact problem.
Thanks kilrah:
I tried that, it shows " cannot read setting from network, try viewing setting later or disconnect data connection and try again."
I did saw something online that maybe because the Fido sim card maybe old (about 3 years), but it did work with sth. like Samsung blackjack II. maybe Kaiser is more complicated.
just wonding if anyone have experience that old sim card may have problem with new phones.
I will keeping trying...
My SIM card is about 4 years old.
I'd bet your Kaiser has a hardware problem.
Hi, guys
I tried a friend's Fido sim card, it works, I don't what's the difference, but it is just like that, maybe I should go get a new card.
Thanks everyone.
good
as one of the boys ur sim might be damaged/old (power failure issues most likely)

Hey guys,
Long time lurker here... and I'm having the same problem.
I have a foreign (Cyprus CytaMobile Vodaphone) SIM in my Kaiser. A couple times over the last few days I was getting the "no service" but if I reset (turn on/off) the device it was fine. Today I cannot get service on it at all. I tried it in an unlocked 1G iPhone and it didn't seem to work either.
I thought maybe the SIM is dead, however when the device it's in starts up, it asks me for the PIN set on the SIM card. I enter the PIN, and it unlocks the SIM. How could the SIM be dead if the PIN authenticates? However, when I put my regular Canadian Rogers SIM in, it works fine.
Where it usually says "Searching.." on the home screen, I once got "Denied, searching.." but I haven't been able to reproduce it.
Any ideas? The provider doesn't have a local roaming agreement, however for the past year it has always registered on the network and allowed me to check balance and send text messages.
Is it most likely a dead SIM or blocked by Rogers? I'm doubting the blocked part, but the successful PIN entry is what has me baffled...
Thanks!
Chris
Ok different SIM card also from Cyprus Cytamobile in a SE w810 does the same thing. Is Rogers seriously all of a sudden blocking these? There is no local roaming agreement, however I would always get the Rogers welcome text's and even be able to check balances. I've been doing this off and on for 4 years...
Anyone ever heard of something like this?
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. Sorry, getting a bit off topic but I thought the initial problem was related!
EDIT: Ok, I can also see all the SIM contacts and SMS messages stored on the SIM.

I also have the same problem with my tytn, I have a bad feeling it is hardware If you manage to find the problem please let me know. I have tried the paper thing and also all new firmware and OS nothing helps
Try setting it to GSM only (disable 3G) and see what happens.
To do that go to Settings->Personal->Phone->Band->Network Type=GSM.
If it works then, you might want to read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419803
hi all, i am hoping somebody can shed some light on this. My brother came from spain and he loved my phone and wants me to sell it to him. Its on O2 (UK) and unlocked and flashed few roms to it by now.
Whats strange is that it detects his card but wont register with any networks here even though his own phone does register with o2 and orange depends where he is.
Now i am confused as i thought open to all networks means he can use his own sim but didnt work, i even reset the phone and it detected his card and said it is configuring setting and need to restart but then no service.
Anyone can help? is it the ROM or am i missing some cabs?
I bought new TyTN II, and when I insert my sim card, he doesn't recognize it, in the top of the screen is text NO SERVICE. In the start/settings/connesctions/connection setup, there is no my country to select, or my operater. Does the new cooked ROM may solve my problem? Please help...

Does it say no sim card, or just no service. If it doesn't recognize the sim card. then it is probably sim locked. If it recognizes the sim card, but just offers no service, it could just be your connection settings.

Hello,
I didn't want to start a new thread, because this one is somehow connected with my problem
So here it is:
I've been using my phone for about a month, it used to show full network ect. My friend gave me an anthenna for gsm mobiles (well, sometimes it didnt work properly when I was in the basement i.e.) so i tried it. Worked perfectly, except it was sticking out. So i thought that I don't want to use it and disconected it. Since then it shows no service, sometimes "1 dot" in network display. Tried hard reset - didn't work. When i put the anthenna back, it shows full network again.
Please, tell me, what should I try.
Thank you in advance
I seem to recall reading somewhere here that once you put in an external antenna, something gets tripped and the phone will only work with an external antenna from that point on.
Sorry -- don't recall any details. Try searching.
