Roaming and data connection

Hello everyone,
I'll get my Desire in 5 days and I have a question for all you that already has one.
I use "3 Italy" as provider and I need to know if there is a simple way on Desire to block data connection when the phone will go in roaming.
On my good old HD2 I've used NoDataInRoaming. There is something similar for the Desire (or the solution is built in the the phone)?
Someone has a solution?
Thanks,
ghale

Thanks mate,
I've not the manual with me because I've not the device but now I'm downloading (the italian version) it and I'll start to read it.
Thank you very much!

In Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks settings there is an option for data roaming, I think it is not ticked by default so the desire will not connect to data when roaming.
When you select to turn it on it gives a pop up warning that 'you may incur significant roaming charges'.

Hello,
thanks to you, too.
I've just find that on the Desire Manual.
Thanks.

Cant help directly as im on T-Mobile but Vodafone seem to provide some quite decent support on their site
http://help.vodafone.co.uk/system/selfservice.controller?CMD=BROWSE_TOPIC&PARTITION_ID=1&CONFIGURATION=1058&TOPIC_ID=267315&parent_id=8051#s

yeah ive looked there.all over the vodafone website.cant find support for the defy.
i havent registered my number with vodafone.maybe if i do that they will send me settings.

You shouldn't need the settings sent to you.
If it's a Vodafone locked/branded handset then the settings should be pre-loaded and if it's an unlocked/unbranded handset then it should configure itself automatically when you put the SIM in (that's what my phone did anyway).
If you go into Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access point names, is there anything there?
Your last option would be to manually enter the settings I guess.

[Q] 3G Data problems with custom rom

Hi guys please forgive my ignorance, but I'm not able to access my 3G data allows with the krispy duck rom. I get 1gb each month so would really like to be able to use this.
All help is appreciated

Is it possible you've lost your APN settings for your network provider?

Any way I can get these back??

Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Network Settings -> Access point names (APN's)
If nothing is there, then Menu -> New and fill in the relevant data for your network.

Thanks guys! After a bit of playing I've finally got it all to work.
Thanks for the point in the right direction.

Tethering does not work, USB or Wifi! SOLVED!!

Running 2.3.3 Generic UK ROM, boot loader locked, not rooted, just completely stock!
As soon as I enable tethering (wifi or usb) the phone drops the data connection (H, 3G, etc. disappears from the notification bar) and my laptop says connected but no internet connection, as soon as I disable tethering the data connection comes back.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling data whilst tethered and it will flick up for a second then disappear again!
This is really annoying as I used to use tethering quite a bit with my X10 Mini!
Any idea's welcome!
Thanks!

After some googling it seems I'm not the only one with this problem, but no solutions yet...

also me the same problem

It's quite a big problem IMO, one of the major functions I want to be able to use and cant!!

i had exactly the same problem, sent the phone off to sony ericsson for repair, waiting for it to come back.... see what happens...

Oh, it works now very well. I just deleted the old wifi-network connections on the computer and now its flawless.

i am experiencing the same problem. I could tether nicely with my X10 and now with my newer and faster Arc, I can't share wifi, which is annoying when I'm out with my ipad and need a wifi connection
SE! we need a fix ASAP!

I've done some tethering with 3.0.1.A.0.145 and it worked flawlessly? Multiple devices at the same time, all of them had pretty smooth internet!

Lucky you!! lol
This problem still exists for me, I try again everynow and then and have only had it work once with a friends iPhone4 connected.

Does it help if you put ",dun" under APN settings>APN Type ?
If there is something already under APN type field just put a ",dun" next to it, save settings and try it by turning on Wifi hotspot.
Or if the field is empty just put there "default,dun" save setting and try.
Hope it helps.

My APN is default,supl and it works perfectly!

I have the same issue! Any help??

This worked for me!!!!
All you need to do is go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
Select your active APN
Scroll down to "APN Type" and click on it
Add ",dun" to the APN Type of your active APN. eg APN Type = "default,supl,dun"
After editing this, you should be able to turn on the Portable Hotspot without the 3G mobile data connection dropping out.

Many thanks guys! I just added ",dun" to mine. Now tethering using this (Rogers) to write this reply!

Heavy Googling mate! lol
Been bugging me since I got the phone two months ago!

I upgraded to 2.3.3 on a Droid 2. I unlocked and rooted the phone but the Wifi no matter which program I use goes to the Verizon site which warns me that I have to pay twenty dollars a month. Has anyone fixed this yet or is there a URL I can go to to solve this issue? If not can someone provide me with a one click fix to go back to the Froyo, and an URL for that?

hotspot/tethering with no internet acess

Hi all,
I have an issue when trying to use wifi hotspot or USB tethering. I am able to connect to the G3 without any issues, but when I connect there is no Internet access on the device I connect with (the G3 still has Internet access when tethered). I have tested this with my laptop and also a different phone and neither device can access the Internet when tethered to the G3. I have also tested the sim card in another device, and confirmed that the sim is not the cause of the problem - the G3 is definitely the cause.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening, or how to fix it? I'd prefer not to root the phone.
Details:
LG G3 D855, 32 GB version.
Software: V20c-SEA
I am not rooted and I'm using the stock ROM.

I have just discovered that tethering will work on my phone when I disable 4G.
i.e. when I select "GSM/WCDMA auto" as my preferred network mode, tethering works.
when I select "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto", tethering will not work (as described in first post).
Does anyone know why LTE would prevent tethering from working?

OK, so I finally managed to find a very simple solution to my own problem. I'll post here in case anyone else has the same problem.
In phone settings, go to:
Tethering & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Access point names
Click on your relevant APN to get into the settings.
Edit "APN type" and delete it so it's empty (mine previously said "default").
Save the changes.
That's it! Tethering should work now.

That's fantastic dubcmj!!!
Worked perfectly for me too. So happy right now!

I got a Rogers G3 and had no internet access after connect to hotspot. The Rogers APN cannot be edited. So I created a new APN with just the name and ltemobile.apn, leave all other settings blank. Tethering works now.

Good thread. The above didn't solve for my issue but pointed me in the right direction. My network provider (OPTUS AUSTRALIA) had multiple APN's. Tethering with the default APN failed to allow internet access via wifi hotspot. I changed the APN to default using a different APN and reconnected my laptop and this now works. The alternative was to turn the phone off and on again which was driving me nuts. I hope this helps anyone else with the same issue.

Thanx.
Worked for me.
Thanks.

Great my LG-H831 G5 was also fixed by this so thanks.
I've got that settings with text message by my wireless career ... So I guess they are to blame for together with LG's crappy heavily customized roms

Thanks so much for this! I have a completely different cell phone (Samsung Galaxy S7 edge) with Vodafone NL and had the same issue.
My APN type was set to "default,supl,mms,xcap" by default, and deleting it so it's empty and saving the changes resolved the problem right away!
