My hermes was working fine for the couple weeks I've had it, internet, internet sharing, everything. A couple days ago, the internet stopped working. I can still do calls, emails still seem to work (with exchange), sms is fine, although MMS is failing as well.
I have a 2nd 8525 and the same issues on that one too. I plugged my sim into a wing I had laying around, and voila, internet works. I tried all sorts of settings, tried surfing with wap.voicestream.com with the 216.155.165.50 or whatever proxy, etc.
I noticed on another forum that people in my area are having the same issues, but t-mobiles says the network is fine.
I am inclined to believe t-mobile on this one a bit, being that my Wing works fine... but neither of my 8525's (hermes) work...
One last note, when I boot up, I get a message saying the operator does not exist database, I just exit out the error and it WAS working fine even with that box, does it on both Hermes I have.
Any ideas!!!! Thanks. All help is really, really appreciated.
Mine stopped working temporarily yesterday, and started working again within an hour. Are you using the internet2.voicestream.com access point?
I'm using wap.voicestream.com -- but I had tried internet2.voicestream.com as well... are you using all the proxy settings with it (I HAVE the 19.99 unlimited data plan btw).
Both phones are using Schaps, so i'm considering flashing a different rom and seeing if that brings any new luck if I can't find any other help. But I have my main phone really well customized and would hate to have to do that.
What area are you in? I'm in South Florida (and on another thread, 2 or 3 other posters in south florida are having the same issues, weird)
With the unlimited data plan you should be able to use internet2 for all data and wap.voicestream for MMS. If you want I can post my configs that work, I just copied them from the T-Mobile Wireless configurator site using the Wing for my handset. Also, I'm from Northern Colorado.
RE: Internet:
I had an issue with t-mobile tZones back when they alowed it on smartphones... Then one day it just stopped working. about two weeks later, I finally got annoyed with them and called them.
They argued with me about tZones working for about 20 minutes and then finally found an internal memo about people using tZones to cruise the internet by accessing wap first, and once establishing a connection, usine pIE. So, You can't trust a phone company when it claims that their network is ok or that they ddin't cancel a part of your service without letting you know.

another thing you can do is copy the contents of your extended rom on the wing onto a storage card on your new device. also copy the "config" text file so that you install the CAB files in the proper order. reset. try now, I hope this helps

Did all of the above settings, didn't do a thing. Still same connection issue. When you go to IE and enter an address, it says "connecting... locating... opening..." and just sticks on "opening" for the page, MSN Live doesn't work or anything else either. This is all strange since it was all working fine only a few days ago.
There is some magic setting or something that is making Hermes devices not work anymore while the wing still does.
I DIDNT do the extended rom thing, would you mind explaining that a little further step by step for me?
If those settings don't work it sounds to me like something is corrupted on your phone, and you may need to do a hard reset, or installing a new rom. I haven't had any issues with Schaps 4.31 since I installed it 2 weeks ago, but it sounds like you might be.
I have 2 8525's, lol... didn't work on EITHER even with a fresh install of schaps, I even tried 4.4 with win mo 6.1 just for jollies. It's really strange though and as I said, multiple people in my area are reporting this same issue at this moment.
But I just think they made changes that a certain setting or something on the hermes doesn't like since it works on the Wing.
In fact, it's quite pissing me off, lol... really frustrating.
I would call t-mobile and find out from them. my 8525 works just fine.
yeah but you are in a different part of the country, it's actually people with Kaisers (Tilt) having the issue as well... it's the TyTn and TyTn II models that just magically aren't working, and it's all south florida. Those t-mobile bastards!
But really, the freakin Wing works, what could it possibly be!!!!!
8525 in South Florida (Miami) with same issue
As always, when I have problems with my phones I turn to xda developers and viola! Answer's to my questions. My at&t 8525 internet stopped working around 8pm Thursday night (2/7/08). I have had my T-mobile sim on this phone working fine since last July with not one problem until now. I actually did call t-mobile customer service and went through all the usual treat the customer like a dummy and tell him/her to restart, take out battery, etc etc like that never occurred to me to try...DUH! Then they tell me to talk to the IT dept at my work to see about active sync settings. And of course they do not know that I AM the senior engineer in the IT dept so I get the rare privilege to inform them of this and assure them that there is NOTHING wrong with my exchange server as everyone else in the office using active sync has no problems, it is only me on T-mobile with my unlocked 8525. They then offered to transfer me to tier 2 support. Which gave me another rare opportunity to use one of my favorite lines with customer support..... "I just want to talk to someone who knows more than me". Unfortunately work took me away from the phone and I did not get a chance to continue with tier 2 support. I will take this up later today and post any resolutions if they present themselves. But I am putting my money on this forum and the incredibly talented individuals who frequent here on a resolution to this issue instead of T-mobile. Seems to me T-mobile is sending a hidden message that they possibly do not want my business anymore. Good thing my contract us up in a few months.
Thanks to all in advance!

It's possible that the wing, since its a T-Mobile phone probably has some sort of network priority list the 8525 doesnt. try selecting under Phone > networks Tmobile and see if it sticks. Good luck!
Perhaps you should try flashing another radio. I used one a while back and could not get data working.
that's very interesting, as we are probably ALL using the same unlocked radio. Can you possibly point me in the right direction on how to do that?
radio version
I'm using Radio version 1.51. I will try flashing to the latest and see how that goes, but let me tell ya, looking at the new schap's rom I'm thinking I might just flash that bad boy, It looks awesome!

The 4.4? It's ok, I didn't notice a huge difference, and it actually seemed to run a bit slower, although I didn't have a chance to test it much.
I went to my device information, and it says radio version 1.16 - so I guess we are running different radio's and having the same issue... maybe that isn't the solution then. Could it have somethign to do with hard-spl and having it unlocked and what not?
Ok so tried 5 different radio versions, all with zero success. Ugh!!

How recent was your internet not working? And can we just install Wizard roms onto an 8525 hermes?
We are going to keep this down to 1 thread I think, we have one going pretty well on the Kaiser forum (TyTn 2) and the South Florida guys with that model are having the exact same issues.
Head over there and we can keep this all together and try and find a solution.

I started to have an issue with my Tmobile Dash where I am having problems getting a data connection. I called TM regarding this issue and of course their standard solution as alway is "Master Reset" the phone.
I swear I have Master Reset my phone 3 x's with TM and it is a major PITA.
I have checked my settings in GPRS and TM had me change them to the following:
wap.voicestream.com
internet2.voicestream.com
internet3.voicestream.com
None seem to be working. I am getting no internet connect and I can't download my email. I have tried powering down the phone and a soft reset.
Does anyone have any solutions other than a master reset??
Thanks in advance.

i'm having the same problem with the newest kavana rom it won't get any internet connection at all i use to work fine but 2-3 months later it stopped working..
Enjoying my desire so much, only thing is I Can't figure out of how to get internet to work outside of wifi. If anyone could post the Vodafone vpn settings for this it would be much appreciated. Many tx
I assume you mean APN and not VPN. It depeds upon what kind of SIM you have (PAYG, contract) - just call VF and they will give it to you (or, search their support knowledge base on their web site, it's in there too).

ive tried this for o2 and it doesnt work as they say they do not support the phone?? thats not possible
they sent me a manual to enable settings i followed it and still no joy
i turn on and off airplane mode, switched 2g - 3g, resett network, tried everything
If you go to VPN/APN settings what do you select as there are 4 options?

AHA!!!!! it worked!!
ok so these are the settings for o2, you will just need to enter the relevant ones for your network:
Please ensure that when entering O2 into the settings that the letter O is selected and not a zero.
1. Tap Start
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Menu
4. Tap All Settings

Tx for the help, don't know how it happened but it worked all by itself. Did telephone Vodafone and was asked e-mail address to send settings to. 3 hrs later no reply. Ah well as the saying goes, if ain't broke.....
The stock Froyo ROM is quite cumbersome when multiple APNs are used.
Apart from the MMS APN, I have two other APNs set up: one for plain internet access and the other one for intranet or company email.
Switching from one to the other involved the following steps (I have a Dutch ROM so the exact wording may be different):
1. Home screen/Menu/Settings/Wireless and networks and then switch of the current data connection
2. Select the menu item below: mobile networks/APNs and choose another APN
3. In the Wireless and networks screen, re-enable the data connection
4. Go back to the application that needed another APN and start working again
On Windows Mobile, it was easier to indicate what APN had to be used for what purpose.
Isn't there an easier way to do this?
Thanks,
Mark
? Is this a general froyo issue? I am still on 2.1 and hesitating to upgrade, this would be a dealbreaker for me as I use the same setup...
Currently I use a bettercut shortcut directly to my apn's which works perfectly, no need to do something else besides selecting apn

Hey guys,
First of all, sorry but I'm a complete newbie with this phone, however I've tried to do the necessary research and I think i've hit a block. First of all, my phone is a SGH-1747 (from the title) Samsung Galaxy s III 4G LTE or just Samsung Galaxy s III LTE which is network unlocked with original carrier being AT&T. I updated the phone to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 via Samsung Kies and everything went smoothly. It was originally my aunt's and I asked her to ship it to me here in Australia. So my current provider is Vodafone Australia and yes I do have a micro sim and can use the phone for almost everything except for the problem that I'm experiencing.
Okay so firstly I thought my problem was that everything I go on google play store via my mobile data (not WIFI), I was unable to update / download certain apps and it would give me a "package file is invalid" error. I've done researched tried clearing cache, cookies, data but nothing seemed to work. I also thought it might be something to do with only unable to download apps that are a certain size, seeing as I could download SOME smaller apps (like google apps updates, but not all) but it got to the point where I tried accessing apps that require an internet connection, and it won't load because of error "not connected to internet or you might be disconnected". At all times I am able to access the internet via internet browser and even search for apps via google play store. I also thought it might be app-related, so i tried different apps, no bingo. I can however download all these apps / updates when I am connected to WIFI at my house, can even access the games. Also thought it might be related to Vodafone not supporting 4G so I tried to change around the network modes but It didn't really make much of a difference... I've also tried factory resetting many times with no bingo.
So now i'm at the point where I don't know what's wrong with it. Do you guys have any ideas? Even vodafone people were unable to find a solution after spending about an hour trying to fix it with them.
Even with the sim unlocked you may need to manually add the correct apn for your specific carrier. Not sure what the correct apn for vodafone is, but im sure its listed somewhere on this forum or via a google search. Go to your settings>wireless&networks>more settings>mobile networks>access point names. Press the menu button and press add apn, enter the correct configuration. Before exiting the apn menu make sure to press menu button again and choose "save". On the following screen pick your newly entered apn, wait for the button to stay green and then exit. You should see the data icon appear in the status bar. Reboot the phone and it should work.

Thank you very much. Apparently when I got my sim, it was adding a proxy and a port number. According to the actual vodafone website there wasn't anything you're supposed to have in that and only that port and proxy was supposed to go into the MMS Proxy and MMS Port. Props to Vodafone for not knowing how to fix my problem even after spending 1 hour on the phone with them.
