unable to get wap working with fido prepaid account - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hey everyone.....
I'm a newbie so please be gentle....
I've had my phone for about 2weeks now. Last week I got it unlocked but now I'm having problems with the wap connection from fido.
Here is what I have.
t-mobile xda with fido sim
running xda-developers special edition rom v1.2
rom ver: 3.17.03 eng
rom date: 05/15/03
radio ver: 6.24.00
Protocol: 324e4
I talked to fido and they told me that because I am on prepaid they don't offer GPRS but I can connect to wap ??? I am still learning about the two, but I don't think you need to have both, but I could be wrong. anyway I talked to them and they enabled mms and wap on my account about 3 days ago so I should be able to access it by now.
here is the information they gave me.
APN: wap.fido.ca or internet.fido.ca
IP: 205.151.011.011
user: fido
pwd: fido
port: 9201
#: *99#
so I've tried multiple combinations of the above but nothing seems to work, can anyone tell me if they have had any luck getting connected with fido prepaid and how you did it.
Here is what I tried.
settings --> connection --> connections
new...
under general --> change name to wap settings
under modem --> new...
rename to wap
select a modem --> tried both celluar line
--> clicked advanced left port settings
--> TCP/IP settings
--> select use specific IP address
--> entered 205.151.011.011
--> also tried use server assigned IP address
--> Name servers
--> select use specific IP address
--> entered 205.151.011.011
--> also tried use server assigned IP address
clicked OK to accept advanced settings
clicked NEXT
--> left country code blank
--> left area code blank
--> entered *99# for phone number
--> also tried wap.fido.ca for phone number
clicked FINISHED
clicked PROXY SETTINGS
--> selected this network connects to the internet
--> selected this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet
--> entered 205.151.011.011
--> also tried it with wap.fido.ca
--> tried setting wap ip and port with above information
when I try to connect it says dialing and then always comes back with there is no answer at the number you have dialed.....etc....

I just unlock my phone using the xda-developers serv 1.2exe and after that use a upgrade rom and radio from siemens to wm2003
my radio is a.33.02 and the rom version is a.20.09 ENG
and is working beautifull
i have the upgrade if anyone want it but can upload here i tried
send me a pm with email address

OK couldnt find an answer to this...

being given a hermes but it is AT&T branded.... it will obviously come without sim and I need to unlock it so can be used on TMO..... will I still be able to do this by connecting it by usb and using the v3a unlocker? Also if there is anything else I should no that I may have missed roaming the threads please let me know.... I currently have an excalibur so am pretty familiar with modifying things.
all gsm phones comes with a sim of sorts
he's being given the phone, so the person giving it to him is probably keeping the simcard?
you should be able to unless the unlocker states otherwise..
the phone is fully functional (bar the phone/texting) without a simcard as its a PDA / Phone

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok just making sure... also I could not find USA tmobile settings for once it is unlocked to get everyhting working right. I know there is special settings for the excalibur to get MMS and sms working properly so I would assume that hermes would be the same.
I found the keyboard fixes as mine is an 8525(cingular) but I want everything to work right.... If I missed it just link where I need to go for US tmo setup.
I dont mind doing the reading... THANKS!!!
PS..... Obviously I will be changing ROMS too
Is it the same as excal....?
Here are the steps and settings:
Step 1. Setup GPRS connection for T-Mobile network:
Start > Settings > Connections (tab) > Connections > Advanced (tab) > Select Networks > New...
Enter the name for the profile (e.g. T-Mobile), then go to "Modem" tab and click "New...", enter name for the connection (e.g. T-Mobile Data), choose "Cellular line (GPRS, 3G)" in the drop-down menu, click "Next", the access point should be "wap.voicestream.com", click "Next", leave all fields blank on this page, click "Finish". Now go to "Proxy Settings" tab and select "This network connects to the Internet".
Click "Ok" all the way out.
Step 2. Setup MMS:
Start > Programs > Messaging > Menu > Tools > Options... > MMS > Servers (tab) > New
Server name: (you name it)
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port Number: 8080
Server address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect via: (the connection you created in step 1)
Sending size limitation: 300K
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
Click "Ok", set this new entry as default (with a red arrow on the icon).
check out HTC Network Wizard (comes precooked into most roms now..) if not then schaps operator setup
does the leg work for you
Similiar to the excal 6.1 roms then.... I am reading all the new roms now so trying to decide where to go first LOL.... seems all have good and bad... I'll keep wading through them

[Q] Cannot set up AccessPoint after flash GingerMod-6.1

After upgrading my phone to GingerMod-6.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400023) my phone could not create an AccessPoint (Setting->Wifi & Network->Mobile network->AccessPoint) because:
- MCC, MNC are required fields, so for awhile searching I found value MCC, MNC of my network provider (452 and 01), but MNC must be at least 3 digits
After that I install AccessPoint over Setting message from my Network Provider, finally installed AccessPoint, but now my phone still could not connect to the Internet (although 3G signal is very strong).
One more: whenever I create new AccessPoint with valid values of MCC, MNC, after press Save, the phone's access point list still empty with out any warning message????
With the old ROM, I even dont need to enter value of MCC and MNC
Anybody tell me why ??? I dont want to upgrading to another firmware because my personal data

[Q] Editing APNs, Verizon > Metro PCS *** SOLVED ***

*** SOLVED, see third post ***
Hello, I'm trying to use my VWZ Note 2 on MetroPCS.
I'm rooted, stock 4.4.2.
When I use the buildprop edit suggested here, my "add access point names" menu disappears entirely:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...41691-mod-add-apn-editor-system-settings.html
If I remove the buildprop code, I get the menu back, but I can't edit anything.
I pushed my own version of "apns-conf.xml" to /sdcard/ and then pasted it into /system/etc/ and replaced the old one, changed permissions to read-only. Also tried read/write all permissions open.
I can now click the "+" button in the APNs screen. I can add/save APNS, but when (and only when) I have ALL of the correct APN info put in, it instantly deletes the APN I've added. Up to that point I can save the APN, see it in the APN list, and edit it further.
I restart phone, the APNs are all gone except the grayed-out "LTE - Verizon Internet".
I got an app to read the APN settings from the SIM card itself (the one I'm already using on my metroPCS phone). Interestingly, these are the networks on the SIM card:
T-Mobile US
Simple
StraightTalk T-Mobile
solavei
T-Mobile LTE
Added both of the T-Mobile APNs, which did save to my access point names, but no network still.
Then I realized that I am a monumental idiot. I put the SIM back in my old metroPCS phone and got the APN settings from there. For future use, here they are:
Name: MetroPCS
APN: fast.metropcs.com
MMSC: http://metropcs.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
APN protocol: IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Let's try putting those in my note 2. Why the heck I didn't try this sooner is beyond me.
Still nothing, "No signal." Also, "SIM from unknown source."
EDIT: As I suspected, the APN settings weren't being saved to apns-conf.xml in system/etc/
So I pulled, edited, pushed my new version of apns-conf.xml to have the correct metro pcs settings, put it back in system/etc/, set the correct permissions (read-only for the system).
Now I have the MetroPCS access point name, it matches apns-conf.xml, but still no connection.
I think I'm about out of options.
SOLVED.
If mod wants to truncate this into one post total, that's cool.
My process to get MetroPCS working on a VZW (Verizon) Note 2.
1: Root it
Get ghettoroot 2.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2924899&d=1409874318
Download android SDK
Set environmental variable for adb commands. Note that you add the command after whatever is already in "path" variable, with a semicolon between: http://jaxov.com/2010/10/set-up-adb-on-windows-7-vista-xp-for-android-phones/
Uninstall any samsung stuff, especially KIES. Then install samsung drivers: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I605TSAVZW
Ghettoroot your phone. You'll need to enable usb debugging, under developer options. How to enable developer options: System settings > about phone > Build number. Press "Build number" like 7 times or so and it will unlock dev options.
Now we need to do some APN settings. Follow this for the method, rest of this post for the info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044449
APN info (if value not shown, leave blank/default):
Name: MetroPCS
APN: fast.metropcs.com
MMSC: http://metropcs.mmsvno.com/mms/wapenc
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri,*
APN protocol: IPv6
You'll want to have those settings both in the apns-conf.xml, and in the More Settings>Mobile Networks>Access point names
Activate your phone with MetroPCS.
Remove "Unknown SIM card" notification: Long press the notification to figure out which app is creating it (app info), then use titanium backup to uninstall it.
I have read and read i am having issues now since the sim message is generated by tbe system ui i cant kill this is in the verizon note 2 when i install the sim it force closes everything any thoughts would be great.
Ugh. Try doing a factory reset and starting over.
Make sure you use TitaniumBackup to uninstall (preferably freeze if you own pro) the app that's causing the SIM message. You must be rooted of course. Not sure why things would force close, you might have got rid of wrong system app.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you are rooted, install Root Explorer, open it and click on the r/w at the top , navigate to the app folder, find the setup wizard folder and delete it. Restart phone and the message will be gone!
Hi guys
Does anybody knows an alternative way to unlock gsm on the VGN2 with 4.4.2?
