Hey all,
I picked up an HTC One on SaskTel last week. I noticed that when I work out of town (in range of only one or two cell towers) my reception just sucked. I was seeing some bizzare behaviour where Exchange, Gmail, Play Store and most Google services would refuse to sync - there would be timeouts and "sync is experiencing problems" errors. Other apps like Google Chrome and reddit is fun worked perfectly. Very frustrating.
I started Googling and playing with APN settings. I think I've found a combination that works, although I couldn't tell you why... but now I don't get any problems at all.
Anyway, if you're having problems on SaskTel with any Android smartphone, maybe give these settings a try.
Code:
APN - proxy.stm.sk.ca
Proxy - mig.sasktel.com
Port - 8080
Username - (not set)
Password - (not set)
Server - (not set)
MMSC - http://mms.sasktel.com
MMS proxy - mig.sasktel.com
MMS port - 8080
MMS protocol - WAP 2.0
MMC - 302
MNC - 780
Authentication Type - "PAP or CHAP"
APN Type - * (enter the "*" character in the field)
APM protocol - IPv4
Network mode - GSM / WCDMA / LTE Auto
I'm hoping someone stumbles across this with a search and finds it useful!
Thanks very much for this bit of info.. I've been having the same problem as you and the info provided on sasktels' Facebook page didn't provide me with a resolution.. This is what they had suggested for settings:
"There is a confirmed issue with some HTC devices and the Google Play Store.
This issue can be resolved by creating an APN with the Proxy setting remaining blank.
APN Settings can be found: Settings > Mobile Network > Access Point Names > Menu (top right) > New APN.
Name: Internet2
APN: pda.stm.sk.ca
Proxy: <>
Port: 80
Username: << not set >>
Password: << not set >>
Server: << not set >>
MMSC: mms.sasktel.com
MMS Proxy: mig.sasktel.com
MMS Port: 80
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0 (DO NOT EDIT)
MCC: 302 (DO NOT EDIT)
MNC: 780 (DO NOT EDIT)
Authentication type: not set
APN Type: .
APN enable/disable: checked

I'm really glad this helped you out! To be honest I was not sure if my APN settings fixed my problem, or if it was the unlocking/rooting stuff I was doing. Good to get the confirmation this works.
Holy. I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I was ripping my hair out over this. I found inet.stm.sk.ca to work better than pda. Haven't tried proxy.
Though this issue appears to be fixed on sasktel's end now.

how do we get MMS without the t-mobile g1 data plan?
I dont think its possible. I guess you can get Chomp SMS and pay for it there which could be cheaper but i dont know if it supports MMS...
i cant really help you . but i can say that its worth the 20 or 30 bucks for the internet plan
Agreed with G-Fetus. Plus you can always tell people to e-mail it to your gmail and you can download the attachment from there.
ok this worked for me...
Goto
Menu -> Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> T-Mobile US
Make sure you go into T-mobile US and not any other settings.
Change the settings to the following:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: wap.voicestream.com
proxy: 216.155.165.050
port: 8080
Username: not set (delete everything in this field)
Password: not set (delete all here too)
Server: not set (delete the *)
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Port: 8080
MMC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: not set
Restart your phone. Now your MMS should work.
*Troubleshooting*
1. If you’re having trouble still, go into mobile networks and enable ‘data roaming’ and ‘use only 2G’
- I've tried this and it seems to be working for me.. this is the only solution i know..

does this still work? i heard t-mobile blocked G1s from using this
it still works on mine..
I tried that on my phone because I am having the same problem. Doesn't work for me. Although I didn't edit the T-Mobile US APN, I made a new one, if that somehow matters.
If anyone has figured out anything on how to get mms messages to work without a data plan please let me know. Everything else on my phone works perfectly.
I figured my new friend [girl] had sent the picture to my gmail instead of text. I'd like this to.
Hi all,
I am currently unable to use internet via EDGA / 3G, and at the moment i can only use WiFi at home or anywhere with open wifi.
Im living in UK using O2 network pay as you go sim
well I found the O2 APN settings (as below):
Name: O2 WAP POST PAY
APN: wap.o2.co.uk
Proxy: 193.113.200.195
port: 8080
Username: o2wap
Password: password
server: not set
mmsc: http :// mmsc . mms . o2 . co . uk : 8002 (i have to put space in between because To prevent spam to the forums, new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.)
mms proxy: 193.113.200.195
mms port: 8080
mcc: 234
mnc: 10
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: internet + mms
after I put all the settings in then turn the phone off and back on (as O2 said on their website) there are nothing changes, no EDGE / 3G (red and green blinking) icon appears on the notification bar
so are there any expert can help me solve this problem ?
p.s. I never root or flash my phone, all firmware are OEM version (Android 2.1 I90000ZSJG4)
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR HELP
to start with the APN doesn't seem right
wap.o2.co.uk
it should be something like
internet.o2.co.uk (or whatever happens to be the readl thing)
wap.o2.co.uk suggest you are restricted only to WAP services, which does not include internet

Data (evdo) does not work on my wifes droid flashed to cricket...i have a feeling thay it has to do with the APN settings.every time you open the internet it has a proxy setting saying something with verison and no evdo even in notification bar.....can someone help a poor noobie???

why not look up the APN settings for your carrier and fill them in manually?
there's a wonderful tool on the forum, it's labelled "search", where such information magically is displayed in front of you...
... try it! it's AMAZING!
BTW this is Milestone Dev...
There is an specific forum for that...
Wow thanks for the smartass remark!!! I do not know if i change the APN settings if it will make the data work.am i on the right track.i thought i could come here and ask advice from some knowledgeable people, but i guess no one knows but the jackasses.

On your phone, from the main homescreen (first screen you see when your phone is fully started up) press the Menu button (has 3 lines, small, 1 longer line on top) select "Settings", "Wireless & Networks", "Mobile NEtworks", "Access Point Names". From this screen you should see either a list of names. Mine says "AT&T - wap.cingular, etc. If you do not see anything, select Menu (4 lines) and Press "New APN" from there it will list all the info for you to manually input your phone carriers settings. Should look like this:
Name:
APN:
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
And the list goes on. Just input the information I listed above with the corresponding headlines.

Well i can get to "mobile network"but it gives me no option to add apns nor a list of them.in the "mobile network settings"its gives me two boxes to check "data enabled" and"data roaming" and finally a"system select". i hit the menu button and still no options pop up....thanks for your time!
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
Hmm... strange. You should be able to add an APN. Are you able to select one of the two options you do have and edit it? Try pressing and holding one the option and see if a screen pops up to edit the APN. If you can edit, then you should be able to simply fill in the correct info.
Well i figured out how to acess the apns thru voice dialer,changed settings, then i rebooted the phone....still no data put the apn correctly,maybe im on the wrong track...

new software cannot let you do all that runs on 1x no evdo no 3g
So i just swapped over from an iPhone that was unlocked from Walmart and switched to a t-mobile Samsung Note 4. I have two questions here, one, does anyone know the correct APN settings for this phone? I've looked through numerous websites and have found too many different answers. The apn settings i have now work, but i feel like they may stillbe wrong. Two, why when i'm connected to wifi all of my apps load super fast but as soon as I disconnect from wifi none of my apps will load i.e. Instagram, Snapchat, Chrome. PLEASE REPLY IF YOU CAN HELP ME!!! MUCH THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!
