Android apn settings for Ireland - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

as title says, list for apns used by vodafone, o2 and meteor in ireland can be found here
i can't vouch for the vodafone or meteor settings but the o2 ones do work.
after spending days trying to find working apns this was a lifesaver (certain irish based board gives the wrong settings, i know i've tried them)
if i get a chance i'll add the apn settings for 3ireland later
if this is in the wrong section mods, i do apologise, but i was unsure of where to post it

I think it sent, me and the wife are on o2 but she has`nt gotten it, tried applying them settings on her Iphone 3 but it wont set from her`s.
It looks like it sent from my Galaxy S but nothing on her`s?? Any ideas?

XDA in Australia

Hi there, I am wondering if it is possible for the XDA to work in Australia. I have the upgraded rom from Xda devellopers and have removed the sim lock, but it dosen't seem to pick up the Aus networks.
Any help would be great
What for device are you using? PW10A or PW10B?
Maybe it's a problem with the GSM-networks. PW10A is for 900/1800MHz and PW10B for 900/1900
Have you tried to search manual for any available services?
Stefan
How do I find out the PW10a or b info.... The other version info is as follows
ROM Version; 3.17.03 ENG
Radio Version; 4.21.00
Protocol Version ; 32s54
Sorry, found it....PW10A1
I am guessing no one has any help or info about this. what a wasted purchase.
The XDA/XDA II/XDA III (IIs) do work in Australia.
Where is your XDA from, country? What network are you trying to connect too down here?
I have been told it is from the UK. I purchased it 3rd hand so I can only go by what the previous owner has told me.
In the auto config screen, I get the options for 02 network from UK, Ireland, De and a few others.
I am wanting to connect it to an Optus network preferrably, but any would do.
I have tried Optus (plan and prepaid) and telstra plan, but no signal shows up.
Just clarifying, you have tried Optus and Telstra phone services or data services?
You verified the SIM's worked in another phone?
The sims are able to be swapped into various phones, I have a panasonic gd50, a nokia 7250 and a motorola v600, and an ericson (can't remember what model) and they all work in each other.
The sims are set up as phone service, ie: normal mobile usage, I have even tried an optus prepaid in it.
I am only wanting to use it for the phone service, gprs and net usage is not of interest as yet.
Howdy, I have the same model and it works fine on Telstra. I originally had problems with SIM lock and GID lock, but after upgrading to 2003 from lumpistefans kitchen I've had no problems with it! Good reception and minimal drop out. It's not a waste of money. The ROM i used was the O2 one and did not use the auto config, it finds it for itself and aknowledges the telstra network fine. If you go to an Optus shop they should be able to help, they also have pretty good phone help and should be able to talk you through the settings,
Good luck!
Peace,
Robert
Thanks Ryap. I am thinking that it should automatically find the network tho......is this not the case
I know on XDA II and PDA2K you can select the network or set it to Automatic. Might want to check this setting.
SETTINGS > PERSONAL TAB > PHONE > NETWORK TAB

I think you are confusing the autoconfig of the device with the network setup for the phone.
You can cancel the autoconfig that appears at the end of a hard reset. This just gives you some quick settings for the GPRS and MMS networks - you can add these later after talking to Optus.
Once the SIM is in, you need to make sure the phone is on by switching OFF flight mode. This kicks the phone in. Then if Optus is not picked up as your default network you just go into Settings>Phone>Network and then use the Find Network button and then the Set Networks button. After that you can check the Automatic Network selection button to make the settings stay.

Hi all, thanks for the support so far,
As of now, I can't get any network at all....still.
when i insert the sim and enable the phone it says serching, but thats about it.
I have no idea where to find the flight mode, and when I click on the phone in the settings screen, nothing happens.
I don't get any carrier name or logo come up and appear.
Cheers
Michael
On XDA II (don't have XDA) when the phone senses a service it puts four vetical bars next to the speaker/volume icon at the top of the screen. If you tap the bars it should bring up a pop-up, this is where there should be a line (link) to click on that says "Turn off flight mode". I am not sure if this is part of the original XDA though.
When you clicked on the PHONE icon under SETTINGS it didn't do anything?
At the top bar, next to the speeker, I have a tree type logo and when i tap it it says searching. When i open the phone and then click options, it freezes for about 5 maybe 7 mins and then the settings screen opens, from there it freezes and i can't select anything
Hi all.
I am greatful for you help and support up till now.
I have managed to fixmy problem.
When putting the xda devellopers rom on the pda, ther eis an option calledGSM Band in the programs list.
Well turns out it was set to 900, so i changed it to 900/1800 and rebooted the xda.
WELL HEY PRESTO, IT FOUND THE OPTUS NETWORK
So all is good and all works.
As I mentioned before I am greatful for all the support and thankyou to all who racked their brains over this.

Battery Issues. “SOLVED”!

Hi Guys!
All we have crossed Battery Issue.... just like I faced. I managed to found a good message released by some one on Internet today.
Sorry for no able to post outside links, The site is http: //blog.walshie.me/2010/11/15/htc-mozart-telstrabattery-issues-solved/

Updated: HTC Mozart & Telstra–Battery Issues. “SOLVED”!
with 40 comments
Since the Mozart was released in Australia about 3 or 4 weeks ago, there has been a public uproar about the battery performance. Sometimes I haven’t been able to get 6 hours out of a fully charged battery with push email on.
I’ve been working with a technician from Telstra for the last 2 weeks debugging the issues. The root of the cause has come down to the way the Phone is configured to operate on the Next G network. By default, the phone uses the telstra.wap APN (Access Point Name) to connect you to the interwebs. Now the telstra.wap APN allows you to access internal telstra services like Mobile Data Usage & MyBill etc.
The “issue” isn’t one that “we” fully understand at the moment, it could be a configuration issue on the Telstra network or a software configuration change on the device. But Telstra understand the issue and are actively working to get a fix.
A workaround is available for all those who can’t wait for a ROM upgrade. All you need to do is add an APN in the “mobile network” configuration settings. The APN is “telstra.iph”.
Now this APN is specific to devices that require PUSH email & use a fair amount of data. The APN transparently proxies all your HTTP & HTTPS traffic over the Telstra network and improves the battery life 300%! I went from 6 hours to over 24 hours battery life.
To set the APN, go to Settings > mobile network. Scroll right to the bottom and click “add apn”. In the APN box, type “telstra.iph” and click the tick icon in the Application Bar.
Now, this is by NO means a permanent fix. What this does is provide a temporary solution for us while Telstra & HTC work on a fix.
The only “issue” with hard setting this APN, you can no longer get to the “My Bill” part of the Telstra Portal, you can still see “my data usage” and everything else.
Update: While hard setting the APN fixes the battery issue. It appears it stops people from purchasing apps via your Telstra bill. This is because the default proxy inserts billing identifiers as headers when you click “buy” via the Marketplace app on your phone. Now you”re using a DIFFERENT http server (the iPhone specific ones), which don”t know about the Windows Phone marketplace headers. To get around this, click the “change payment method” link before you click the buy button. This will give you the option of registering a new credit card.
Best Regards
USA using Mozart
Ok, I'm using a Telstra Mozart with an AT&T SIM card. Will this work for me? Usually if I change the APN I lose my service.
I have flashed the TMob_AT ROM by Ansar
Thanks for posting a 4 month out of date fix for a SPECIFIC issue only on TELSTRA to do with their APN, which was fixed months ago.
This post is totally useless and in fact incorrect as was resolved in December.
If anyone changes their APN because of this post, they are idiots.

No, don't change it, you are not using Telstras network, and if you are they fixed it months ago.
I really have no idea why the OP pasted it here, pure stupity.
It was regarding an issue with the TELSTRA NETWORK NOT THE PHONE.
Do not use these settings if you are not in australia and on telstra. It will not work anywhere else in the world, and it has been resolved locally. Does not help in Aus any more either.
@OP [original poster] does your phone work with that APN change? probably not! while your enthusiasm is valued, misinformation is not! Test before you post!

[Q] Strange Problem with Bell Atrix After FR 2.1.1

Hi ,
I have Bell Atrix, unlocked, I flashed the Franch SBF 2.1.1, and all worked well, EXCEPT..
the phone is always roaming, I cannot get data unless I check the Data roaming, there is a little (r) next to my signal all the time..
and I don't know how to fix it..I checked Build.prop, to see if there any setting there.. but I dont know which and what to look for..
my question is: is there a way or a settings that I can change to get rid of the raoaming issue.
as I said my Atrix is BELL and I am with fido..
You need the apn settings for fido, and create an access name under wireless settings - network settings -access point names.

I did put the APN for Fido, unless I turn on the roaming data, it does not connect.. also now one seems to explain the (R) next to the signal.. why the Bell Atrix started to show me that its roaming after flashing with FR 2.1.1 sbf.. in on Montreal with FIDO and fido sim in my Atrix..
that is my real question.
Hi,
There are two numbers, MCC, and MNC in the APN, the phone will show roaming if what the network reports is different than what is setup.
MCC (mobile country code) for Canada is 302, you should have that.
MNC (mobile network code) for Fido is 370, if your APN isn't using that then you will be roaming.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
The French sbf may not have the canada codes in it's apns.conf, see attached file from the Bell stock firmware, you can replace /etc/apns.conf with that, then go to access point names and reset to default.
Cheers!

I'll take a look in my apns.conf but it must have the Canada codes as I have been running the french sbf since it was leaked on my Bell version (on Bell) and never had it roam. I just had to add the Bell apn (obviously) and it worked fine.
I do have a question for you though, since you seem to know a lot about these phones, etc. On my last phone (Samsung Galaxy S), there was a secret menu code (like *#*#4636#*#*) that would take you to the network band settings. From there you could not only see what band the phone was running on, but you could SET what bands were active. Is there anything like that on the Atrix? I am curious if the modem in these non Bell sbf's like Telstra/french sbf access the 850MHz band or not.
Hi,
*#*#4636#*#* is the only one I know about. You can set GSM vs GSM only etc, that would be where you'd change bands.
The codes would only be launching an android app/service somewhere, i tried a hex edit and file search of apps, couldn't find it.
Cheers!

Thanks for looking. I wasn't sure if you could even manually set anything other then selecting "USA Bands" in 4636. It's no big deal, i'm just used to being able to go in and manually select bands on my previous SGS.
My signal is fine, it was just for curiosities sake.
HI NF
I check my APN. here are the values
Name: FIDO
APN: Internet.fido.ca
USERNAME:Fido
PWD:FIDO
*****
MCC:302
MNC: 370
Those are the only values I have..
this is really strange.. according to the above, I should not be roaming.. but something changed in my phone when I first flashed the French SBF.. and is shows roaming after that flash..
this is really strange..
UPDATE: another problem : when I choose Setting->call Setting->Operator Selector, I notived two things.
the Check box next to Select Automatically is not there, I think it was there when I was on Bell Stock,
next when I choose .. Search Networks.. it searched for long time and phone stops responding, I have to Turn off .
also, when I choose Advanced Setting the Call waiting is greyed out, when I click on Caller ID I get Invalid SIM Error.. again I have to reboot to get the phone working again..
the info I have after *#*# 4636 ...
Nieigbouring CID shows as UNKNOWN..
Roaming: Roaming
NETWORK TYPE:UMTS
not sure if this will you a clue..
Hi,
Sounds like it might be an issue with the radio itself, or it could be that you are just roaming, perhaps a network outage. I would try flashing the telstra sbf, see if you get the same problem. If we had a Bell sbf would could revert back to the stock radio, so we have two options, 1.87 or 1.92. You could try just flashing the radio to see.
In my settings, I have it set to GSM (auto), nothing special there. In network settings, I have it set to automatic, under operator selection, auto is selected. I don't have roaming issues myself with either firmware, but I am not using my phone in your area. Could just be a network update in my area from being in the same boat.
Cheers!
NFHimself..
I followed your instructions about Restore the partitions.. and it works.. I dont have roaming anymore and data work.. you are the man!!! thanks so much for your help
it Worked!!!
I followed your instructions to RESTORE the phone and man.. I was so happy to see it work.. thanks so much for your help..
You're welcome, two times.
Cheers!

[Q] Unlocked T-Mobile Germany with UK Tmob SIM roaming

Hi All
I have an unlocked (not debranded though) HTC 7 Mozart which is branded to T-Mobile Germany.
I have put in a UK T-Mobile SIM...and in the UK it has been working fine voice, data etc.
However, when I first went overseas with it (Italy) the data connection did not work at all..got the text message saying need a booster package etc. to use roaming data.
Responded to text to enabled data booster and T-Mobile acknowledged active...but when trying to browse internet it says "page not found" (rather than showing agreement splash screen) and emails are not syncing.
Checked that roaming enabled (yes) and also tried 3 operators (Telecom Italia, 3 and WIND) but all no good.
Wanted to check APN settings but Windows Phone 7 will not allow it (only option to add a new APN!) :-(
Other people with Tmob UK SIMs (different handsets such as Nokia E72) were working fine.
Any ideas as to what is going wrong ? (maybe Tmob Germany handset with Tmob UK SIM is not good ?).
Thanks
tomhass
Looks as though the answer was to Add APN with the correct UK APN settings - I think the T-Mobile German ROM must have an embedded German APN (not visible though) which you have to override by doing an Add APN.

How to change csc and rom?

Hi. Im fixing my friends tab. He just got it back from repair from the neuron ring on the screen. It was bought from samsung asia however it contains european software. but the csc is from my country, the philippines (asia). I'm thinking of flashing an Asian rom. How do I change the csc to fit my country and are the roms in samfirmware complete ones?
+1 Also need instructions please.
+2 Also need instructions please.
+3 Also, I'd like a neck massage and a sandwich.
Shouldnt be an issue, I'm in the Philippines using a european firmware and using a Globe 3G enabled sim on it, and it works fine like a boss, I get messages and I can use the internet on it via 3G, I don't get how CSC settings makes a difference, Not like we originally have tagalog or bahasa language settings. Also by default the 3G sim comes embedded with the APN settings required, you can either edit it to your whim or choice.
Besides most US based phones work in Philippines because we follow the same freq as US. The same goes with our internet lines bridged off US. Which is why we have an avg of 180-210 ping on US based servers.
