Hi all,
Just got my Black T-Mobile G2 which I've unlocked to all networks and put my o2 simcard in...
Who knows how to get the settings to the phone? I guess I need them for internet and mms? Any ideas?
-- Edit -- Thread actually changed, scroll to 2nd page to see.
Google For the settings
The phone should automatically get the settings for that sim mine did
How? My sim card is in the phone but its not downloading anything. I didnt know if tmobile removed everything apart from theirs.
How can i get the phone to download them?
APN Settings
Go to Settings-wireless control-mobile network settings-access point names
edit each one of those to corrispond with o2's settings
try these there are others search on google
my username is actually o2web not mobile web etc

Thanks for that, I got my settings from a similar place. I've noticed something strange now though...
I had a white factory unlocked hero and when linking contacts via facebook I could see their albums and flick through pics and they were great quality.
Now I have a Black Touch G2 and still on o2, I've manually put in the settings and the pictures are grainy. I presume the settings are slightly different than they are on the white one.
Can someone with a white unlocked hero please post their settings for o2?
Thanks in advance.
????
On my hero the pictures are not really clear but clear enough, they do look a little grainy.
It may have something to do with the speed of your connection at the time of syncing the contact ie gprs or HSDPA, but other than that i have no idea
sorry
Ok, did a bit more digging and found it, so for all you o2 users out there, try this.
Go into your APN settings for mobile web and change your username to bypass
Restart the phone and look at new images (old ones will be cached). Should be spot on now with no reduction in quality.
Just changed the name of this thread as its a question answered but has some great info above for UK o2 customers...
Which pics are you referring to? Is it just the Caller ID pics it displays from Facebook?
Hmm..Speedtest results shot up massively now. Not sure if coincidence though.
Thanks
Phil
well the bypass u/n and p/w should tell the network to route you round o2's transparent proxy, so i would expect it to be a bit faster at least.
wonder if there is a similar way around T-Mobile's Transparent Proxy?

When linking a person to facebook and viewing their albums.
Also when viewing actual web pages, the images are full quality.
It is a lot faster, my speed must be about twice as fast now which is great, I'll edit the title again..

Didn't get it from there, but that has lots of useful info. Just did a bit of digging on the web about the problems and a lot of iPhone users had the same issue, so o2 came up with this work around.

Is it all working for you then? All preloaded images before you did this change will stay, unless you delete the cache, but everything else should work 100%

I didnt notice a problem before so I cant comment on that. The main reason I changed the username and password were the above reported speed increases. I must say that I have not noticed any day to day speed increases as a result.
Hi there, I have searched, I'm sure the answer must be here, but can't find it.
Am I right in saying that the email (not Gmail) program doesn't download emails to allow you to view them when you might not have a connection to a network?
I can't find the setting for this for the life of me, is this one reason to go for a 3rd party program?
Many thanks...
Screen shot the email you want to view for later?
Not really an answer but an alternative.

Thanks, but the whole problem happens when I'm moving about my work which is a large building, I haven't opened up an email yet and when I go to I happen to be in an area where there's no network (cellular or wifi), so I haven't had the chance to screen shot it first.
Any other ideas? Surely others must have found it maddening too?
Sorry to be a pain, but is everyone else experiencing this? Any workarounds?
Many thanks

Bump!
Whilst I'm at it, is there a way to stop the screen turning off when the phone is plugged in? I'm beginning to think I'm missing some settings somewhere, these are such basic things which I've had on other phones for years........

Not sure if you're correct. I suppose you're referring to the stock email program that comes with the SGS2?. This has been modified slightly by Samsung - but, either that, or the stock android email client both do download a certain amount of your emails from the server - Go into the mail program,clickon the options button,click More...select account Settings,select "Size to retrieve emails", and choose 5 kb as a start. This should cover most txt emails.
Riz
That's the problem-I have no option to change the size downloaded.
Any other UK O2 users out there?
Can any other O2 UK users confirm whether they have this setting option our how they've got around this problem?
Many thanks.
K9 mail allows you to set the download amount.
Hi, i'm coming from the gio section and my father has a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE GT-I9305N with stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1
Poblem in details:
He got problem with showing contacts on viber and tango and both doesn't show any contact except whatsapp works great. It's the second time it happens and what i did at the first time, i fixed it by clearing the data on contacts (stock application) in settings (resetting) and same both for viber and tango and then restarted the phone. I have set to "show all contacts" in contacts (stock app) but still doesn't show any in viber/tango. When trying to sync viber for contacs, it writes "Syncing not completed, please try again" and for tango, still message "we didn't find any tango users in your adress book".
btw he bought the phone with JB already installed, so we don't know if the problem was same in ics.
So my question is if someone has similar problem and knows how to fix it, if it does conflict with other apps and if it's a bug in 4.1.1
Isn't a JB bug because I've been using Tango since 4.0.4.
[SOLVED] "contacts to show"
The contacts didn't show 100%, so i had to go to "contacts to show" in menu and pressed custom at the bottom then checked every boxes view my contacts/all contacts each on of the account registered on the phone, then it showed contacts in Viber and Tango. Sorry if spam, but i tried everything and i found at last the solution at Tango's support section and my father is now happy.
Moved to proper forum
Hi,
This is an official representative of Viber Media.
@tico96 - Please check the following link for possible solutions: http://bit.ly/UvNPuq and let us know if the issue persists.
Thanks,

Hi Viber team
I have posted a review on play store too. I am very unhappy with version 4. I use viber on SGSIII and Nexus 10. Most of my viber contacts before upgrade dont show up as viber contacts anymore; especially painful to note my wife is also missing in that list. Backward compatibility issues huh? btw wife is on iOS6(iPhone 3GS).
Wife and me used to love Viber. It really sucks now. All my wife's viber history also was lost once i upgraded her viber to 4.0 as well. Multiple issues are plaguing the devices post-update.
Please lets address those.
Cheers
Ravi
@ raviraviravi -
Thank you for the report of the problem. We are sorry to hear of these issues, and we will do our best to help you resolve them.
We thoroughly tested Viber on iOS6 and so we didn't expect any major problems with the new Viber version on it.
About your contacts: The source of this issue could greatly vary. Please read this short page in our HelpDesk, outlining some possible workarounds that will help reboot synchronization of the contact list: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/...st-is-not-showing-your-friends-as-viber-users
If the problem remains, or there's any other issue: we would appreciate if you could take a minute and report the details to our support team using this direct link: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit/RenderForm/1
When you submit the ticket, in the line called: "Through which channel did you submit your initial inquiry", please make sure to choose "Technical Forum".
Thanks in advance!
@Viber R& D:
You guys and your responses as always are thorough and very considerate, much appreciated.
Looks like the recent upgrade in my SGSIII has fixed most of the issues around contacts synchronization.
I have an issue with my desktop version though, the 'catch' though is I use a portable version of Viber Desktop, packaged by some Fabianator folks using VMware. Can you guys not build a nice portable install of viber yourself. The problem with this 'portable' viber desktop is that the contacts dont quite synchronize well, even if they do i am only able to see the messages but the call and message buttons are greyed out for me.
Should i put in a feature request for a portable version? Also, something on the lines of Wechat which has web version would be awesome; even going a step further if gmail can have hangouts(which are voice calls and video calls) inbuilt into the browser itself, Why cant you guys.
For me the issue is also wrt the fact that i dont have admin rights on my work PC and I cant live without Viber since i contact my wife and my close friends through viber.
In fact i go a step ahead and recommend viber to all and sundry, since it just about is now operable on any device!!! which is as good as anything gets.
Cheers
Ravi
Thank you for all this elaborate feedback Ravi!
About the portable version you're using: at the moment Viber does not officially support running the app on the specific configuration you described. In this case I would open a support ticket (and not a feature request, though it's closely related for your issue) using this direct link: we would appreciate if you could take a minute and report the details to our support team using this direct link: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit/RenderForm/1
When you submit the ticket, in the line called: "Through which channel did you submit your initial inquiry", please make sure to choose "Technical Forum".
Regarding the web version - this is something we are not planning at the moment. For this, I certainly invite you to submit a feature request.
The Admin permission needed for Viber Desktop is currently the expected behavior of Viber. We have received requests from some of our users to cancel this requirement from Viber, and we're looking into this issue at the moment. If we have news, we'll certainly keep you posted.
@Viber R&D:
I wouldn't want to raise a support ticket for issues in the unsupported packaged version of Viber desktop.
However, for having a 'portable official' version of Viber Desktop. Won't it be a feature request? I want to just add onto the numbers in terms of people requesting for it. Where do i formally do it?
The lack of a web version and you having no plans to put in place doesn't bother me much; its like I said the lack of 'official portable' Viber that gives me nightmares.
Does it have anything to do with the system limitation of only 5 concurrent devices at any given point in time; since a portable version would simply mean the ability to run in a portable manner in as many machines as possible?
I am only trying to understand why development towards something elegant like that can't be expedited.
Cheers
Ravi
@raviraviravi -
Well, every project of ours demands time, manpower and resources. The reason Viber does not have an 'official portable' compatibility yet is simply because it hasn't been officially developed to handle it. It could be a problem with the way Viber communicates with our server (for example - port/protocol issues when trying to deliver Viber traffic), or other sources of the problem. When/if we develop such a version, we will check all these issues thoroughly and only then we'll be able to tell 'what is not compatible', so to speak.
Yes, then it is recommended that you open a feature request ticket. One way or another, we see those tickets and will be able to consider it in our development roadmap.
Thank you again for your time!
Could anyone please point me to a comprehensive explanation of what individual connection status icons mean? I am talking about the G, E, etc. at the top of the screen.
I know that G stands for GSM, E for EDGE, and so on but what perplexes me is the fact that sometimes these icons are painted in solid white while other times they are sort of greyed out. What does this greying out mean? Is it that the device is reconnecting to a different cell tower at the moment? Or that no data link is currently available? Or something else altogether? It started happening recently after I changed service provider.
I would very much like to know what's going on. Please advise -- this ignorance is killing me... :-/
nvx
your assumption would be correct.
solid white shows available service, grey is limited service or unavailable.
Mister B,
Thank you for the clarification. Still, could you please be more specific as to what exactly those limitations might be?
Or better yet, could you please provide a link to a thorough explanation of all the connection status icons? That would be fantastic. I was trying to find any such document on the internet but -- unfortunately -- without success. I only found manuals to various HTC phones listing some of the solid white icons. The greyed-out ones weren't even mentioned there.
nvx
Yes I can't find solid mention of it in manuals.
an MSDN thread on this is no longer active as redirects to Windows Phone support.
seen it on several windows mobile devices going back as far as WM2003se
Definitely related to service not optimum.
If I find more relevant facts on grey icons I will update this thread.
Images below are added just to be complete in this thread for others who may stumble on it when searching
Yes, that is exactly what I have been finding on the web. Nothing more, though. :/

Do you perhaps have that thread saved in bookmarks in your browser? Maybe we could get to it via archive.org.

Thank you for the link, however, I am afraid that none of the four cached snapshots at archive.org contains the actual images (that is, the images are no longer available at the referenced locations). What is more, the list does not even seem to mention any additional information compared to what is available in the manuals. In other words, I am back to square one.
I will continue searching and will post here if I find anything.

Those features been disabled on Verizon cause theyre dicks and like to force you to use proprietary software. Its a different version of the messaging app without spam filtering or the ability to send scheduled messages. Scheduling was one of my absolute favorite features on my s3 I used it every day since i have a few buddies on overnight shifts that i cant text during the day.
I need help trying to figure out why the app from the other variants wont work on a VZW S5.
I tried replacing the apk and odex and fixing permissions with the appropriate files from the international variant. Files were from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2796268
Everything worked, including scheduling and spam senders but it blocked MMS from going through saying "invalid destination address"
tried again with the apk and odex from ATT variant, same result.
I wouldnt be asking on the general forum but our Verizon forum has NO DEVS whatsoever that will try to help solve problems like this, which is such a change from the SPRINT forums where 50 people would jump all over it and help get it done in under an hour lol.
I would like to know this too! I have an S4 with Verizon and would really like to block texts from certain ppl without having to do the whole 90-day block thing through Verizon! :fingers-crossed:
anyone found a solution to this yet?
