GPRS settings - why no *99# field - failure to log in - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

I'm happily using my PDA2K on multiple networks on GPRS.
I've just been given a SIM which has permission to use 2 different APNs on the same network.The phone company says they are identical in terms of user name, password, etc requirements.
I can happily log onto one APN. logging onto the other comes up with the "modem has disconnected" message, though the network support guy tells me I did get through initially.
Same message as you get if you don't have permission to use the APN, or set wrong username/password in the PDA.
I note that the PDA has nowhere to enter the *99# 0r *99***1# type string which other units have. Does anyone understand whether this, or anything else, could explain my difficulties?

Youmail and changing forwarding nr.

I can't seem to change my settings so that I can have youmail.com pick up my voicemail instead of Suncom.
I've tried typing in *004* 1 714 204 3114# as instructed.
The phone says 'sending to network' then it fails. I also went into the phone's settings, options, then tried changing the number it was forwarding to.
It says sending to network, and then comes back saying it's failed.
My guess is that Suncom isn't allowing the change to be processed. Is there any other Suncom user using youmail?
I was looking at http://youmail.com 's features and they seem to offer some pretty great features like unique voicemail options, transcription, and being able to check voicemail via the web.
Oh well, if there turns out to be no solution, at least T-Mobile is buying Suncom and soon I'll be with a more mainstream phone company.
Thank you,
Tim
Hi there,
Unfortunately YouMail won't work with that carrier but will work on T-Mobile's platform.

SIM Card Voicemail Number

I seem to have deleted my voicemail number off of my sim card. I can go into settings and add a voicemail number but if I try to I get a message like "unable to change voicemail number. If the problem persists contact your carrier." On top of that I don't want it set to my cell number because then I will have to enter my password everytime which I don't want to do. It was set to something else before. Is contacting T-mobile my only option or is there a way to retrieve and set the voicemail number again?
I set my cell phone number as the VM number but it never asks me for a password... Try it from your cell and see if you have any luck. If not, you will probably have to contact the provider.
I've always been able to just dial 123.. never prompts me for a pw.
I have been a t-mo customer for a looooong time though so I don't know if this is just something that has trickled down over the years.
if you are tmobile US the vm number is 8056377243.
that is the same number everyone on the american network has.
but what I'm wondering is, Why didn't you just call customer service? Or better yet GOOGLE it? I know it's a crazy concept but sometimes you have to think outside the box ey?

[Q] How to Re-configure 1x data connection

Hi, is there anyway to reconfigure the 1x data connection username and password on the Verizon HTC Incredible?
Are these settings in the NAM somewhere rather than in the OS like in WM?
Thanks!
Edit: Think it's through ##778. I'll try in the morning. It's 0230hrs here.

yep. ##778 to get to the settings. you need to be on a sense based rom with EPST.apk in the system/app folder
Unfortunately no. PST doesn't have any settings for the username and password for you data account.
Where would that be located?
that's true, Nik. There is no setting for UN and PW in PST. Anyone knows where else to look.

What network are you trying to do this for? Why do you only have a 1x and not 3g connection? Just curious.
well the phone has both 1x and EVDO but I'm trying to get the 1x working first.

##778# is the only way / place i know of to put programing. Data info should mostly be in M.IP Default Profile. Your user name in NAI and DUN NAI and the password in HA and AA Shared Secret.
I checked but the MIP parameters are if the cdma network is configured with data roaming. We use no roaming - Simple IP (SIP) instead of Mobile IP (MIP). Most parameters under MIP settings are for just that, MIP.
found this on the web. seems legit but still didn't work for me. some setting is still not right.
Step 1: Reprogramming your phone
from your phone, dial ##pst (##778) - Press Call
click "edit mode"
enter security code 000000
scroll down to M.IP Settings
change MIP Mode to Simple IP only
hit back
scroll down to Security
change the "HDR AN AUTH User Id (LONG) to "proper TATA username"
change the "HDR AN AUTH Password (LONG) to "proper TATA password"
change the "PPP User Id to "proper TATA username"
change the "PPP Password to "proper TATA password"
change the "S.IP DUN Username to "proper TATA password"
hit back
press menu, choose "Commit Modifications."
The phone will power cycle.

The issue may be the passwords. They are ment to be encrypted i believe, at least they are in my settings. Here is an example of what my password field looks like ( í…*É1‚¤].VDW.ö¾ ), i have no clue how you would go about encrypting them, and most of the characters are not on the phones keyboard to type it in if you could encrypt it. I suppose you could use qpst on a pc to be able to enter the characters, but still no clue how to encrypt it.
Also S.IP DUN Username should be your tata user name not password as you stated above. My user name fields looks like this ( [email protected] ), and the dun one is ( [email protected] ). Hope that helps some how, just throwing stuff out there.
ok, confirming. It's working now. I just had to configure the PPP UN and PW to get the 1x working.
Hi again, now that the 1x is working fine does anyone know any specific configs to make the EVDO work?

Nothing specific, but here is some screenshots of my setings (personal info blacked out) in EPST. Hopefully it will help you in some way. Just download and unzip. EPST Screenshots

Cannot register SIP / VoIP account "due to unavailable Internet connection"

Hi,
when I try to add my SIP account in the settings of the caller app, after the creation of the account I get an error message saying "Cannot register due to unavailable internet connection" (error message translated back from German, so probably not the exact wording of the English version).
The settings are definitely correct. Any ideas?
build npns25.137-24-1-9
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure that mobile data is on? Not wifi. And can you browse Internet? If yes (or no), check with your carrier, maybe additional APN is needed
Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk
Are you serious? Yes, obviously I made sure that the Internet connection works.
OK, I was able to resolve the problem. It seems to be a bug in Android:
There is an option that says "Receive incoming calls (may deplete battery faster)" (as above wording is modulo translation back from German). EVEN IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO RECEIVE INCOMING CALLS VIA SIP, ENABLE THIS OPTION. Then create the SIP account. Then the registration works. Afterwards, you can deselect the option again.
Seems ridiculous, but this is what finally helped on my phone.

Change apn settings on a Lg-V50pm?

Picked one up on Amazon and got all working for ATT except txt. Is there anyway to unlock APN settings?

Made an account just to say I've got the same exact issue, except with a foreign carrier (took it abroad to the UK--never ever had this bull**** issue with any non-Sprint LG phone). I know exactly what the issue is--on every other device I'm able to edit things like the APN type, but even in the ##3282# options with my phone's unlock code, I can't edit anything. The V50 Sprint unlocked version has also locked me out of wifi hotspot, which I was depending on to provide stable internet for laptop zoom meetings when my wifi goes down. No idea how to fix, but hoping someone knows..
EDIT: Hallelujah I figured it out.
Try:
"What you have to do is to "phone" *#*#4636#*#* You will get a page labelled Testing with three sub headings the top one is Phone information. Click on this and you get a lot of information; scroll down until you get to SMSC:. In here you have to put inverted commas followed by the telephone number of your SIM supplier (Get it from them - unless you can find it on the Internet) followed again by inverted commas. Click the update button and, in my case, it added a comma and 145 to the SMS number still in inverted commas. "
And then in your message app settings, in advanced settings you should do a custom SMSC (you can google what it is for your provider)
EDIT 2: Preemptive victory... It's really slow, and can only send to numbers with my exact country code (eg it won't work for texting the numbers you can get your balance from)
Thanks, but what is an "inverted comma"?
