[Q] GSM Pay-as-you-go data credit refills within Android

I'm dual booting Energy/Android (FRX07.1)
...wondering how to allow Android to access the refill website (data pass in Fido-speak).
Currently having to reboot WinMo just to purchase more data credits as Android cannot access the APN when credits run out, AND won't get there with WiFi either when this happens.
Wondering whether this is a simple tweak and whether it is just this Froyo build?
I haven't tested any other Android ports/kernels yet and hoping that if it is simple that someone could save me some time.
and/or
more importantly if this an issue I'm interested in helping to identify a fix for it.

Just go to the website..?
I dunno, I have a 'normal' post-pay setup with my carrier....

Guess I'm more curious about what causes this to happen.
In other words why/how does WM get to the refill site without data credits and why/how come Android can't access it.
Thanks for the excellent package which I'm using as my main interface.

I'd assume there's some application installed in WinMo that does this...? Have you asked the carrier, do they have an Android app or some other solution?
I have no clue how the phone actually gets to the refill site without data credits... again, this would be a question for the carrier IMHO. Do you have some carrier-branded version of WinMo or something? I need to know more about the interface in WinMo to help, although I don't think I will be able TBH. Sorry.

There's a whole slew of different ways a carrier could implement this. The simplest is using a second APN that's reserved for connecting to the refill website. I suspect that asking the carrier is going to get no answer.

You're probably right, but what else can we do...? He's going to have to figure out why it works in WinMo. That's why I am asking - do they support native Android devices, and what do they do for those devices? Figure that out, and you may be able to apply it to our port. Maybe.

I will ask Fido, though from past experience they are iffy on discussing tech stuff with a pay-per-use customer with an un-fido-branded phone, LOL.
Have to try with another Sim from Rogers that I've got here somewhere, to get close to gleaning whether its carrier or o/s based.

No branding at all on the WinMo (Energy v6.5|21916).
Know that in Android I set up my APN manually whereas with WM it was done automatically. I skimmed over the WM rom specs but saw no mention of what was used for the auto-config, will look further.
Also note that Android on my phone will only connect automatically to Rogers. I get "Error while searching for network" when searching networks to find Fido. Yes the WM does find and connect to Fido. I'm thinking that may point to the solution & sorry for not having mentioned this.
Thanks for your helps.
I have to apologize, just looking at my APN settings and they got wiped from what I entered, though STILL connecting somehow, maybe these settings causing my lockout. LOL.

IF it's an Android issue and IF I can help to solve it and IF it gets added to the port it'd be an honor.
Waiting for my credits to run out here and will play with the settings to try to connect.

Wait, it's not a FIDO branded phone? How did you get it to work in WinMo..?
You said it works fine in WinMo - if it wasn't provided by the carrier, you had to have done something to get it to work with them...

Bought this phone used and it's the unbranded version of the Rhodium. Was never locked to any provider
I'm looking into how Energy rom autoconfig'd the network. Sorry have been busy w/other things so bit more time needed.

Interesting that it "just works" in WinMo. I think that lays even more credence to the APN theory hyc had... or whatever CDMA would use in lieu of an APN.

Fido is GSM. APNs are key to the question.

my posting to the Fido forum
Re: MMS/APN settings for non-Fido phones
10-22-2011 03:21 PM
Have noticed several different APN settings that will work for data.
Can anyone offer explanation as to why there isn't just one setting that works?
I'm on Android on an unbranded (not unlocked) handset and using the "fido-core-appl1.apn" version of the APN settings and have 2 issues:
1-never get 3G, get E
2-when data credits run out (on pay-per-use) I can not access the refill/redirect site and have to go into WindowsMobile to refill.
The second is my most pressing (and annoying) issue since I don't necessarily care about my network speed at the moment.
Wonder why Fido doesn't have the different APN names/settings posted somewhere (if they did, mybad for missing it) and instead throws us into a public forum to get this info.
Feeling like a Christian in the Coliseum here, LOL.
someone in an earlier post warned to not use the access point "internet.fido.ca" with pay-go, why? ...and please how do you know this?
Thanks in advance
btw I do get 3g, my mistake

update : just did data refill from within WinMo but...
...noted that OperaMini in WinMo was unable to access the fido refill page, whereas IExplore did. I'm now leaning more towards this being a Fido-specific APN issue.
Next refill I will try with my Sim in an unlocked DesireZ and will report my findings. Then will try different APN settings failing that, since there seems to be several that provide a connection when there IS avilable data credit.
Hope this doesn't add too many more variables. heh.
And planning on actually talking to Fido about this. Will keep you posted.
Thx

Perhaps it's a WAP thing?

fixed - IS APN settings
APN type must be set to "default,supl,mms"
if set to anything else it won't work
....now to understand why.

[Q] ASUS Padfone 2

I just bought a Asus Padfone 2 and love it, problem is I have T-mobile(USA) and can't seen to seen MMS or get 4G internet. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem, its running android 4.1.1. I have tried setting it up using basic setting that I found online but did not help. Any help welcome.

You won't be able to get 4G working, because the padfone 2 doesn't support the US' bands
As for MMS, I know nothing, sorry

The current version is released for Asia market only. Unfortunately the bands won't work here in the US.
Personally I'm waiting for the US version to be released.

Hello, I was looking to purchase this phone as well. I know the 4G will not work, but are you even able to get the 3G working with this phone on T-Mobile or is it hit and miss? I've had international phones pickup 3G, most of the time its briefly. Me and my wife use to have the old LG KS-20 cell phones. When she make Trips to Houston, TX it would pick up a 3G signal, or at least this is what she told me. So I think it would be safe to say (but don't quote me on it) that it would only work constantly in areas that T-mobile have there newest towers. Just idea/opinion. Could anyone confirm?

I live in Houston and it is true that we have some 1900mhz towers and you can get 3G on some iPhones and stuff, but for the most part in most cities I think you can expect Edge speeds on any non AWS bands phone.
As for OP's MMS issue, what APN are you using?

Excellent!

Where you able to get non edge speeds on download? T-mobile has 2100mhz down 1700mhz up from my understanding so it might be possible to get better download speeds.

[Q] Travelling to India, will my US S3 work?

I have the T-mobile branded (T-999) Galaxy S3. It is rooted and I am running a custom rom (Frosty Jellybean). I got the unlock code from T-mobile because I told them I will be travelling abroad (to India). So my question is: Can I just get a prepaid sim card from a mobile carrier in India and stick it in my phone and then enter the unlock code and will it work just like normal? Does anyone know if this phone is compatible with 3G or 4G networks in India for internet access? Do I need to be running any specific "international" version of a ROM, or will my custom rom work? Any advice would be appreciated (or if you can direct me to where to find such info). And before you ask, yes I did attempt to search the forums, but I got the following message..."Search is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Thanks in advance.

Use the code they have you on a TouchWiz ROM. Not sure if it works with a variant of AOSP. If you have a T-999, then you cannot install an international ROM - it still doesn't change the fact that your phone is a T999.
Look up the frequency bands for India and find out if this phone will work with it 4G bands there.

Ok, thanks for the info so far.

Bobolinko, you are right that I don't know anything about APN settings. I did do a search and found how to access APN settings by going to Settings > more settings > mobile networks > access point names. Currently all I see there is the T-mobile US entry, I'm assuming you are saying that I need to hit the menu button and "+ New APN", then enter whatever info the mobile carrier in India gives me right?

I found India uses 900/1800 bands and 2100 for 3G. Minimal 4G coverage there currently. Specs for S3 show that it is compatible with all these frequencies so I assume I'm good to go if I can figure out the APN stuff.

I suggest you go complete stock . I send my old s2 with custom rom to my country nepal and later they have to pay to swith to stock rom for some continuous error becoz my brother dont know how to do it. So be in stock .

When I travel to Europe every year all I do is just put local provider sim card and works every time. All bi do is my phone needs to be unlock and never mess with apn. I use various phones like photon, blackberry, dumb phones, my touch etc.

Unable to use AOSP based ROMs. Bad / Slow data

AT&T Note 2 and everything seems fine running roms based on stalk.
Every other ROM either I lose data connection for short periods of time or even when I do have an LTE connection its slow like 3g.
Been like this since I got the phone. Any ideas?

Check your APN's and Network Mode

On this current ROM the Network mode is LTE / GSM / WCDMA
AP is wap.cingular and there are several options.
Currently I'm downloading a game that has to do its own download and even if I change it to the PTA AP it just constantly flashes the reconnecting screen.
I'm starting to wonder if there isn't something wrong with my phone that the normal rom somehow "gets around" or makes less noticeable.
Either way there is SOME difference between the likes of STOCK and CleanROM SE that makes those work fine and data on anything not based on AT&T stock suck.

Well...
I can't argue that...
While I can't prove it....I feel it's related to the lack of having full RIL packages...
We've been pushed updates that include almost 1500 libraries to connect our network world wide...
And I'm sure that AOSP does not include the complete set...
You may be in an area that relies on these updated file's to achieve good service...
Just thinking out loud here...but it makes sense considering you are using the same radio and APN...but are likely missing the RIL package to run them...g

I have mine set up on T Mobile and I'm having the same problem. It's pretty annoying. I've tried a factory reset to no avail. My phone downloaded an update this morning which I hoped would fix the problem, but it looks like it hasn't.

That's odd. There's one thing wrong with this device on stock - its APN database for AT&T is 3-4 years out of date. It was still using the wap.cingular APN when I turned mine on.
You need to manually put in the AT&T LTE APN (pta). ALSO if you've never owned an LTE device before you'll need to talk to AT&T to have your account updated. (Using the pta APN with a Nexus 5 resulted in no data for me too until I had my plan/account updated. You can do this without an actual contract change - for example I'm still grandfathered in to "unlimited data"). In general I would recommend doing this in-person at an AT&T-owned store, not at the phone and not at a franchisee (like most small mall kiosks).

Thanks for the reply everyone, I entered in the new ATT HSPA+ APN and it works like a charm now.

Could you post your settings?. I confirmed the SIM I got yesterday was lte capable but still no dice.

Just putting in the pta APN with no other info was enough for me.
(MMS is probably borked for me until I fill in the right settings for it but I use MMS maybe once every 3 years at most.)

I just realized that you were in here Entropy. I appreciate the work you did with the Galaxy S2 (last phone I had before this one). Do you plan on doing any dev work with this one or are you going to take it easy?

That's what I have currently and mms works fine.

I pulled the APN configs for ATT Phone APN from omni's github (I updated it a few months back to what it was from an AT&T stock TouchWiz Galaxy S4 ROM, so it this is update-to-date afaik)

I have this as my settings now and still only get H+. (except for the mmsc, you have 3 m's)
Weird thing is that I get 0 connection when I change from phone to pta.
Not sure if locale is the culprit. I'm in Oklahoma City.

I went to the ATT store, but they weren't any help. They confirmed that the SIM they gave me was lte compatible, but I assumed that's the same thing as having an LTE data package. I'll give them a call tonight and let you all know. (btw, just re-applied your settings and still no luck)
edit: called.. and they claim that all accounts have lte compatibility now and of course she had never heard of the OF7a

The settings entropy posted were the exact settings my N5 had which I copied over and worked fine. One thing to be aware of is that mine says 4G on LTE and then either H or H+ for those, not sure if this applies only to my service area or what and another might show differently. At any rate if you're getting 4G showing you might wanna run speedtest and see if you are getting LTE.

AT&T's SIMs have been LTE compatible for years, even before AT&T had an LTE network. I need to check to be sure, but I'm fairly certain my SIM is still the original "cut down SIM" that I've had since 2011 at least.
It's your account that needs to be LTE-enabled.
Don't call. Phone support is awful. Go to a corporate-owned AT&T physical store. That's where the competent staff are.
(In my case, I originally did the LTE upgrade on a Nexus 5 - if you put a SIM into a Nexus 5 that doesn't have LTE on the account, you'll get a text message saying to call AT&T.)
