I am using the t mobile HTC HD2, I have it unlocked and running it for my at&t network. I have also started using the android program through my sim card, so basically my phone is running on the android interface. It works great, however i cannot access the internet nor send/receive picture messages. I need to figure out the VPN setting or Proxy setting for the at&t provider. Since at&t does not have this phone they are unable to help on where or how to do it.
Anyone got this same situation and figured it out?!
Please help, thanks
Try adding an apn manually using the settings from here......
Cant guarantee it will work, but worth a try.
If it does work, beware of data charges. Unless you have an unlimited plan.
I dont know where i can put in a new apn, i can only access vpn settings, and the proxy settings.
isnt there anything under "connections" - "networks" or something similar??
if not then I dont know, sorry
ok i found where to put in the apn, i put it in, but nothing seems to work, thanks for the try though...
i cant be the only person using the hd2 for at&t right? lol
might be worth asking in the tmous section....
best of luck.....
idk what that section is, im new to this blog, can you help
I Just rooted my phone using Super One Click rooter and unlocked it using SGS Unlock Pro app from the market. I'm trying to unlock it on Roger's network (i think its the same as AT&T)
Thing is i cannot connect to the internet/data on the phone, it says to check connection settings but i dont know what i need to change. Phone calls and texting works just not data.
Any help would be great, i am pretty new at this stuff and have spent the past 3 days trying to figure this all out
You need to change the proxy setting to those of your network service provide. Just call the customer care and ask them for the detailed info about that, they'll probably send you a sms carrying the settings for you to install based on your device.
If that doesn't work (I had that issue) just manually enter the settings after you ask the agent about them or better yet check them out on the internet. Usually service providers post them on their official sites under GPRS, EDGE or 3G.
Weird i just changed my APN to internet.com and it works
Hi all,
couldn't find a Wind network specific forum, so I'm posting here...
I've now had two phones on Wind and on both, MMS is not a simple, straightforward functioning option.
Nexus one: gave up in frustration trying to get mms working after tinkering with all suggested settings.
Now I own an HTC amaze...mms works periodically. People sometimes receive my texts (and sometimes only twelve hours later even when sitting right in front of me and on Wind or any other carrier network) and sometimes they don't. Why is it so difficult to get MMS working smoothly on Wind?
I just tried to change the APN settings and...they're locked. Any ideas how to unlock them?
Also, I'd appreciate settings that others have found that works on their Amaze (not sure if settings get different results on different phones...i imagine they wouldn't, but from hearing how some of you have it working perfectly...i wonder)?
Thanks.

just one apn for both mms and internet?
I have had issues with my previous, unlocked T mobile phone on Wind, however, my new Amaze on Wind seems to be fine, as far as I know anyway.
Does locked APN's have anything to do with SIM lock?
Once I can get my SIM unlock code from Wind will my APN"s also come unlocked at the same time?
Thanks very much
I'm trying to use my iPad sim (converted into a regular sim card) in my note, but I am unable to use the APN "broadband". Everytime I create that APN, it will automatically delete it off the list. It seems like AT&T is blocking that APN from being used. Is this possible, or a way around this?
Thanks
Try using "phone" as the apn

the only apn ipads have is broadband.... some older prepaid unlimited ones have isp.cingular as the apn
yeah...only APN iPads can use is "broadband". Anyone know how to bypass this?
anyone know how to do this?

Are you rooted? I don't have an answer, but I suspect the solution involves being rooted and freezing an AT&T management .apk that is deleting any APNs that you add.

Yes, I am currently running TPC NOTE V2.
My first contribution to the forum
I got the ATT Note last weekend off second hand, so no contract.
I want to use it primarily as a tablet with data plan (google voice can serve as phone if needed). So I want to try iPad data plan.
I got my iPad sim activated for a monthly plan, but as members noted, that for some reason, the new APN setting can not be saved for some reason (can we blame ATT?). So you can not use the iPad sim directly.
I tried couple of ways, and finally figured out how to do it on my Note:
(1) Create the new APN as previously instructed (call it "iPad" or whatever), with "phone" as the APN setting. Save it.
(2) On the APN list, select the new one, so the default AT&T PTA is grey out, and the new one ("iPad") is on.
(3) Now, change the APN from "phone" to "Broadband" (Sorry I forgot this important step last night!)
(4) Then, instead of saving the change (which would fail), I jumped out of the setting and go straight to home, then web browser to click a link. It might give you an error the first time, but when I clicked the link again, it would eventually start working, and the 4G icon showed up on the top menu.
I wen back to APN setting. Found the new setting "iPad" was gone. However, I did notice the default APN setting (AT&T PTA) remained grey out (not selected).
So, it seems if you force off the default setting, you can go straight to 4G network with iPhone's data plan.
I disabled the cellular network and reactivated it. The connection still worked, so hopefully it will last.
[Update]: Sorry I forgot the important step (3). I tried again, and the whole process works. Yes, I have the phone unlocked already for T-Mobile use (paid $25 online to get the unlock code. Not sure if it is necessary for AT&T data sim card, though).
i think
I think your note has to be unlocked .thats only way
iPad Sim
I am using iPad SIM in note and its working fine. I don't get LTE but HSPA Speeds. I picked new SIM from AT&T Store for my iPad and activated under different email now using it with $30 3GB Plan. I have 'broadband' as apn. My note is unlocked running SAUROM RC 6. I had issues with RC 7 so reverted back.

It just can't be on an AT&T based rom. Since Saurom rom is based off of Rogers, the apn "broadband" will work. Has nothing to do with unlock, it's the software that prevents you from using that APN.

You are now able to use LTE on the note since AT&T now has a plan for the "New iPad". You just need to change the plan in the online management. Just change the IMEI to the "New iPad". The APN will still be broadband.
I found a IMEI from some person selling it on eBay

Thanks much for this ....I could not find any other solution so far.....I appreciate you writing this. It works.
Hello from a noob. I have done the saferoot, text edited the sales dat to AWS and changed the other file (forget the name) from OFF to ON. Basically I switched the IMEI on my Metro account to a 545. I kept the same SIM. The store says there demo SIM does not pick up the internet either. The internet worked for 2 minutes and now there is no logo (4g lte, H+ etc) and no connection to the internet at all. I have tried going into the bands etc. but I think I'm missing something (I guess obviously). I have done "everything". Updated the APN settings etc. etc. It is stock rom except the root and the minor text edited changes. It is on 4.3 android. Can anyone out there please tell me how to turn off the stupid VZN LTE band option (I think that is my problem) however when I put in the *#276... command it doesn't pull up the menu that lets you access the band option like I've seen on Youtube. It gives me a different menu with UMTS at the top. I still haven't found the turn off the VZN LTE option. Any help at all would be appreciated. The dialing and text messaging work so it's a clean phone but for some reason the phone is blocking my damn internet. Thanks for the help.
When you installed the MetroPCS SIM, did you configure the APN to use their network?

Yes sir. I have done it all and nothing has helped. My only thought is finding that switch for the Verizon band or something else in the programming but I can't get to that damn menu. And the *#276.. number is not working on the phone anymore either.
So for those interested that may have Metro and are having the same problem I finally just updated the phone with the stock 4.4 firmware (clean wipe and all that) with Odin and it now works and the LTE no longer shuts off. After hours and hours of agony I finally did it. I tried rooting and everything on 4.3 and I don't care that I lost root - I'm just glad it works now. I do appreciate for what it's worth all the information on here and best wishes to you guys for all the future modding, unlocking the bootloader and all of that. See you around.
