I have a new, unlocked Tilt2. It's now connected to Telstra Australia. I can send/receive email (POP3) call anyone and connect to the net via wifi but not through the 3G (Telstra NextG, WCDMA 850Mhz) service. Is the ROM locked to only browse in the USA?
I have tried flashing the unit using one of the available ROM but it just doesn't work. The progress graph just stays stuck at 0% and makes no progress at all.
Any clues?
The Tilt 2 on AT$T requires you to disable the proxy for Wifi and enable it for MediaNet (3G). Could that be your problem?
OK,I'll try that out.
In the mean time I downloaded and installed Opera 5 Mini beta. It works really well on both Wifi and 3G without any settings changed. I'm actually impressed.
That suggests that there is some cobbled together code/lock in the MIE browser that forces it to oerate (or not operate) in a pareticular way. My next step will be to remove that stupid bit of software.
How can I suck out the ROM and do some of my own cobbling/cooking?
How can you add shortcuts to different screens, like the App's folder?
Cheers,
Chris
The OEM Opera and IE do not work on Wifi for me (damn AT$T), so I use Skyfire instead. Much better browser IMO. You can't uninstall anything from ROM, but you can get a cooked ROM with stuff removed. You're in the right place to learn about mods and ROMs, just keep reading and do some searches. This is higher level stuff, so don't jump into it right away.
That's interesting. I have been told by some people in our local Cell Phone store that some imported models have their browser locked to their originatiing carrier when on the 3G/GSM network. That means that mine would not browse except through AT&Ts network.
I have tried re-flashing my unit 5 times with various ROMs but NONE of them work. They all hang with the PC and the Tilt2 at 0% on the progress graph. The software on the PC times out and suggests a way to reboot the Tilt2. I have also tried copying the image on to the MicroSD card and doing a hard bootload start (Hold down the [reduce-volume] button while switching the unit on) but that just resulted in the device sitting there with the word "SERIAL" near the bottom where USB is written when flashing from the PC.
True to it's name. This Tilt2 ST-7377 is a Fortress. I can't get any software into it.

Is there a way to do this for the SX66? My internet no longer works since AT&T changed their networks. In order to get internet access again, I was told I needed a new phone *and* new SIM card. Can't afford a new phone right now, so...
I've been reading that there may be a program out there that can allow you to override your phone's settings so that it will *only* search and use WiFi. My phone always looks for GPRS, no matter what I do, so I have been without Internet for some time now.
Can anyone point in the right direction for the correct program for a BA?
Many thanks!

I changed the apn settings on my desire and now I am having problem connecting to the internet using either 3G or hSPDA. before changing the settings I was able to connect to the internet using 3G but now when I have try to go online and the 3G icon is displayed the phone does not do anything and if it will evetually connect to the internet it will only do via the H (HSPDA)... I have reset the apn to default and its all the same, no improvement, I have input the mms settings again with no effect.... no its getting on my nerves now... am thinking of reseting the phone back to factory settings.....
I suggest you get new settings from here: http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS

thanks for that
tried it but they only had hd2 and touch 2 listed for phones under android...
So far i believed that hd2 and touch 2 phones are wm not android :? ??? strange...
are there any options for different android phones? hero, magic, etc... as they should work with desire
just go to the APN settings and press Menu>return to defaults. The settings are preprogrammed in for t-mobile UK, and they are definitely correct.
As for not being able to connect on 3G, that is a known t-mobile issue. When 3G is showing, it is supposed to change up to H when you try and send/receive data. sometimes, their network does not change up successfully, and you end up sitting on 3G with no data transfer.
turn mobile data off and back on again and that usually fixes it. There's three or four threads on that on the T-mobile website.
Now this is interesting ...
After I read your reply below, I think that issue is NOT only in the UK.
Because I use T-Mobile NL and I got exactly the same problem!!!
I am still using my HTC Kaiser though and I was (still) confused why I "suddenly" could not connect to the internet
I use Opera Mini, at first it was connected fine, browsed several websites and then suddenly dead on ... cannot connect.
Restart Opera Mini, same issue ... the connection still there.
Restart the data connection ... there you go, I was able to browse again.
Damn! I did not know that this is T-Mob issue I tried to clean my WM device, reinstall Opera and whatnot ....
Oh yeah, this issue just happened recently ... like a month or two months.
Before that, I have no problem like this.

I just flashed new Froyo build from here (0726) http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
And I noticed there is no EDGE data connection, only GPRS. If we can switch it to EDGE type, the data rate can be better!
Can somebody help?
Since the kaiser hardware supports EDGE it should be able to use it, just not sure if any android builds have EDGE support, of course I have been known to be wrong
You could have a careful mess about in the testing screen, ( open dialer, press *#*#4636#*#*, do not press dial), in phone information have a look at preferred network type, play with that, but take a note of the original settings before you do anything.
Be very careful, I spent all day without the ability to send sms, had to wait until i got home to get the correct settings before everything was normal again.
I have been using Edge to save my battery on my Tilt in both WM6.5 and Android 2.1g... Recently, I have bought several new batteries and none of them seem to hold a charge like the ones I bought last year. So that's crap...
Anyhow, to enable Edge in Android... I found the only way I could do it was to install WMLongLife in Windows Mobile. From there, I set all my connections to be 2G (only).
That saves battery in WM6.5.
In order to get Android to use Edge, you must have an Edge signal in Windows Mobile, as well as an Edge Data Connection started. So, start IE, sync your mail, refresh your weather...
Then start Haret and boot Android. If you have replaced WM with Android, I don't know how that works...
If you haven't started a data connection before booting, you will not attach to the network.
I found enabling "Slower Networks" in Android's Network Settings does nothing.
Battery life is better, but I still wish the new batteries had better capacity.

I just played that phone information. Network type: unkown! And, I could not set the preferred network type setting. But, everytime I turn it to a type like GSM only, it just turns back to unknow immediately!
Actually, when I flashed a earlier build of Froyo from that sourceforge site, EDGE worked for my phone.

Sorry, bad information, apparently the phone information screen does not work on kaiser, not sure what to try now....
Hi all,
I got my Desire from the British carrier "Three" last April when it came out. It was stocked with Android 2.1 but the phone was unbranded and not locked so making life much easier.
I rooted the phone weeks later and flashed a number of various roms and radios (usually newest ones recommended by rom developers) and just played around with them. No problems ever occured and everything went smooth.
However a while ago (about 4 weeks I would say) strange thing happened: when the carrier 3 does not gave 3G coverage it usually switches to other network's 2G roaming service. It is also possible to switch to 2G permanently by forcing it via phone settings. It stopped working in Central London for me while still worked elsewhere (very strange) so I had to rely only on 3G service. I thought it was a network issue at first but now I'm not sure.
Later (or at least so I noticed) the connectivity started fooling around: even when standstill (i.e. NOT in a train, bus etc.) and staying at home the network connectivity just disappears all of a sudden. Sometimes it comes back by itself and sometimes I just do it manually via netowking settings. This is much more common when on the move (i.e. on the train etc. even though it never used to happen before). Moreover, sometimes while manually searching for network it says "your sim would not allow to connect to this network" even though I try to connect to the correct one. Instead I switch "WCDMA only" and "WCDMA/GSM auto" options and connection comes back by itself. Then it disappears again after a while. Even more strangely, connection does not disappear if I am talking on the phone with someone but in other situations (such as browsing internet) it just disappears and I see no bars in network reception indicator and cannot connect to internet or make phone calls.
I know 3 has a reputation (deserved or not) of having "bad" network but I don't think this has anything to do with that. My Desire used to work fine before and never had such problems (except in specific spots which have bad coverage). Moreover, I have another old phone and it works fine without any problems with networking while the Desire messes around. I am sure it has either to do with firmware or, worse, hardware.
I have tried a number of roms, radios and settings and it's the same thing all over.
If nothing works is there a way I can still bring it to warranty service after flashing "unrooted" stock rom if there is one available? I'm so frustrated because I have no idea why this is happening.
Its because three have switched off 2g roaming I have the same problem. Search Google

Hello, i am new inn the forum and new with WP/ terminals.
I have now a HTC HD7 surround, i am from Argentina, and my cellphone company is Claro Argentina.
My HTC is free from factory (at&t) , so any SIM is running well, but i have a navigation problem:
I can´t browse the web with 3G, i can via WIFI, but not 3G.
I have a iPhone 4 2, and i can browse the web with that phone and same SIM.
I already added differents APN´s and downloaded the Connection Setup via Marketplace.
I reseted the phone 3 times
The problem still here.
when i try to use the IE, in the navigation bar, i type some address, and after less than 1 second i see this :

Hello man, I have exactly the same problem with a LG E900 with Windows Phone 7, the phone was bought from Spain (Movistar), everything is fine except 3G.
Did you find the solution for this?
does 3g works at all or are you having problems only with IE?
go to the dignotic page
Intall the diagnotic app and look at post #150

Hi sandrobber, I have a LG Optimus 7 and the same problem, the wifi and EDGE and Wifi works without problem, I've checked and my mobile operator uses 850UMTS band for 3G and the phone works with that band, I've set the correct APN but I still without 3G and EDGE really sucks!
I've check the post #150 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839154 but I can't find any place to use these codes in order to set up my 3G automatically, that codes works with my LG Phone? How can I enter those codes?
I will really appreciate your help.

I have the same problem too, and mostly on EDGE... I have to restart the phone to get it working again... Very frustrating if you tell me.
LOL, now that you all say that , I have the same problem to.
I need to turn off 3G if I want to have an internet conection.
did you all flash some rom's on the phone ?

The thing is, I don't have 3G 2100 in the country I live in
I can only rely on EDGE, so activating/deactivating 3G is useless for me.
I didn't flash. Just upgraded to 7392 two weeks ago.
I'm looking for a way to completely reset the network stack (equivalent to a reset) in order to re-establish a fresh connection.
My old Nokia E63 with the same SIM card had no problem establishing data. The only problem was the sometimes, the connection was really slow to attach (something like 15 seconds). I therefore suspect that WP7 phones have a too stringent timeout problem, i.e. the phone gives up trying to establish a connection after a failed first attempt (the phone didn't wait long enough).
I am thinking of just reflashing only the radio rom from a stock o2 rom (I have o2 Germany)

Yeah you can try that. I have the gut feeling that it's firmware-dependant. If someone can try with the latest Samsung FW that's been posted recently... I'm a bit lazy to lose all my settings
