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

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!

I'll try to make this post as short as possible while still including all the details. I own an unlocked samsung galaxy s 2 in the US and have ATT as my provider.
After flashing different ROMs and firmware (exynos, lite'ning, cognition and the chainfire version of my firmware to be exact), my data connection is gone. I wrestled with it yesterday to no avail, because in the end my "Mobile network state" is always disconnected. Today, however, I changed the apn settings to the old ATT "wap" settings and the internet was restored. The speeds were somewhat slow, but i didn't care so long as they remained functioning. About two hours later - the connection crapped out. Oh, and I should also mention - I got a new sim card from ATT today assuming that my issue was a messed up and card from flashing too many roms with it still inside. Needless to say, that didn't work.
So, I'm here now attempting all sorts of remedies with no luck. ATM I am on cog 5.1 with the "correct" apn settings found here on xda, which hasn't worked either.
Has anyone else has this issue of losing their data connection altogether (although keeping wifi)? Does anyone have suggestions that might bring the data back to life?
Thanks!

what correct* apn settings are you using?
I'm using "phone" for the APN and leaving the rest blank (with the exception of APN type, which is internet).
Just minutes ago I reset to default APNs one more time to see if it would work, but nothing. I'll try the wap.cingular APN now to see if it at least picks up some data.

If you are still ' Rom hunting' as such, it is always a good idea to use program like apn manager so you dont have to manually enter your settings after every flash.
As my provider has nearly every field full, it can be a very timely exercise every time you change roms - lets face it, it can take some time to find the one we love

Those settings, wherever they're from, WORK. I had memorized the other common one already, so as soon as I saw the differences in yours I knew it would work. Unfortunately, I (literally) couldn't thank you enough for it.
Is that apn yours personally or just dug up from elsewhere here on XDA? I'm hoping it stands the test of time and continues to work after tonight... The speeds are all over the place for some reason, but at this point it doesn't matter to me, I'm just glad I don't need a WIFI connection at all times.
Oh, and the APN manager is downloading as we speak - good call. I've followed DG's from when I had my captivate a while back, so I'm gonna continue testing Cognition out for a little longer. Maybe like another day - then back to flashing =)

your welcome.
there are a number of apn settings floating around here, but the ones I provided always work
I don't remember where I got them...but they are pretty standard
Hi Everyone,
I have just joined Giffgaff in the UK as service provider. They use O2 network so they are classed as a "virtual provider" as far as I know.
I have entered the APN info in order to get on the net and send mails and all works great. But, I cannot send MMS.
>there is no place in the OS to enter MMS details
>on MSFT site it said that the phone will read the SIM on first boot assuming ADC is enabled.
>I reset the phone and still no MMS
> I ring Nokia and they tell me that ADC is in fact enabled in unlocked Lumias.
>how can I check this?
>others say to install the network setup app but I can't because I don't have the very latest firmware
>some have tried this and now say that Giffgaff is not in the drop down menu so therefore can't be used.
So, as I am chevron unlocked, is there any way to change registry settings to ensure that ADC is enabled and therefore hopefully read the info from the sim card?
As long as your phone is debranded the handset should read the SIM card settings after a hard reset.
You should also be able to install the Network Setup app once it is released again (hopefully soon) after it was taken down to be updated.
If your phone isn't debranded then hard resetting won't help and you won't be able to install the Network Setup app. You won't even be able to see it in the Marketplace.
See this thread for more information on debranding.
See this thread for more information on Network Setup app/MMS/ADC.
Thanks for this great info. My phone was bought from Clove and is supposed to be unlocked. There is no branding other than Nokia. The problem is, I think, the fact that ADC may not be enabled even though it is unlocked. I called Nokia to make sure and they told me that all unlocked phones had ADC enabled and it was only carrier phones that had this functionality disabled. I somehow do not believe this.
If auto data config is not enabled then the info on the sim, card canot be read. And I reset my phone in the hope that I could get the MMS details this way but no success. I have read elsewhere as well that even I can get the network setup app from marketplace it will still not work because Giffgaff are not included as a service provider at this stage. Oh, what to do. WHy could MSFT not have given us this functionality within the OS in the same way as our old winmo platform.:-(
Network Setup app has been available for awhile already, at least for me. I just received an update for it through Marketplace this morning.

Network setup is not even in my marketplace because I am running 11451 firmware and it is only available in th every latest firmware (according to Nokia). And anyway, even if I had network setup available to me there is no mention of Giffgaff as a provider so I still cannot get MMS settings on my unlocked Nokia Lumia 800. What we need is either a MSFT update allowing us to change MMS settings or Nokia to include Giffgaff on their app. I think its that simple.
The network setup app came avalible today in the UK.
It would install and run but still couldnt send MMS on a vodafone branded device, so ive just debranded and its all working fine.
So i can now send and recive MMS
We need to get Giffgaff included on Nokia network setup app; simple as!
Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express
I am using the Lumia 800 on Talkmobile (UK). I have a problem whereby the ability to use the data connection fails intermittently. There is no signal drop - it still has a data connection - I just cannot use the internet, and stop receiving emails etc... Restarting the phone or turning Flight mode on/off will bring back data. I have noticed that it happens when the data connection moves from H/3G to E/G and then back. I am not sure yet if this is the only time it happens. Sometimes I only notice when I haven't received an email for a while... and then realise that the internet isn't working despite an apparent data signal...
Any thoughts/help greatly appreciated - many thanks!!
I had that problem with firmware 11500. It happened about 1 time every day or every other day for a while. Then I fiddled with cellular options (switching data on/off did not help, needed reboot) and ran network setup again and it went away till I updated to 12070 and it has never happened again on this new firmware so far.
I had this problem and found out that it was because I had manually put my APN settings.
Later when Nokia released their Networp Setup app in the marketplace, I had to delete my APN settings>reboot>then install this app and let it do its work of finding my provider and automatically configuring APN.
I have not had problem from then.

I had that problem WITHOUT an added APN. So I re-added APN among with running Network Setup a second time and then the issue didn't come back for me. I have manual APN added now as well as the Network Setup app and on this new 12070 firmware my data connection has not dropped a single time yet in soon a week.
Actually it's the bands I think
I've had the same exact issue as you, in fact some from the offical Nokia discussion have also asked about this.
If you have a UK phone, and if you're using it else where, like say the US, I think the missing 850 band is causing this. If not, I think it's probably just due to poor signal in your area as well.
I noticed that this Nokia phone unlike all my others, has issues trying to jump from the different frequencies. Like Edge to 3g to HSPDA.
I noticed that if I switched to edge in the settings, I can maintain the data signal much better and much more consistent, sometimes you have to turn data on and off to get it to work though.
I'm using mine in NYC so you can only imagine what kind of service I get with AT&T, but the edge method works.
Also instead of constantly turning your phone on and off (bad for battery life) You can simply just go into settings for network and turn data on and off and this will fix the issue as well.
Hope this helps

I was never able to get internet working through the Network settings app. it had my network there, but the internet didn't work after selecting it. The only way that I have managed to get internet to work is by editing the APN within the Diagnostics app. editing the APN within regular Settings doesn't work for me either...
I didn't have your exact problem, but some of the stock apps (maps, bing search, skydrive) were not working over a 3G connection (worked fine over wi-fi, and other apps worked fine over 3G). I think it has something to do with Nokia Network Setup thinking I'm on AT&T when I'm actually on Straight Talk (an MVNO that uses AT&T's network). What fixed it was removing the proxy entry in my APN settings.
Interesting - I am on Talk Mobile which uses Vodafone's network. I will try deleting the proxy.
Anyone try this? Windows Phone on Straight Talk?
Mobile data (internet) works perfectly fine (and fast!) but I can't connect to live services . . . which kills the user experience of a Windows Phone. The Live services work over wifi, but when there is no wifi connection, the services, including marketplace, bing search, scout, etc simply refuse to connect.
Any thoughts on how I can correct this? I've tried everything I can think of and spent hours searching to no avail.
Any help is much appreciated.
Hi, I have the Lumia 800 on Straight talk and everything works perfect.
Make sure the apn setting are good.
Is Straight talk a network that gives you SIM card and no phone?
If it's a network that uses some other carrier's masts i.e. O2, Vodafone for example, then there is a solution to it.
How do you get your APN settings on your phone? Do you enter it manually?
Here is what will help you:
Once you connect to wifi to do whatever you wish and you complete using wifi, go to your network settings, mobile settings, then edit apn - enter your APN settings manually. I am not sure what Straighttalk APN settings are but you would surely find it somewhere.
After saving the APN settings, restart your phone but make sure wifi is switched off before you restart.
After the restart you will be able to use Live services with 3g.
However as soon as you reconnect to wifi, you will have to re-do the whole cycle each time in order to get Live services working on 3g again.
This might or might not work. I had exactly same issue on giffgaff. I have spent 3 months trying to figure out, flashed ROMs, hard resets, swapped carriers etc and finally have found this to be the way it works. I own a HTC Titan. Till today I thought, it was HTC's fault because I have ruled out carrier and MS for this. But if the above works for you then, it clearly isn't HTC's or carrier's fault but sure OS that keeps forgetting the APN. The reason this happens is because Straighttalk in your case and Giffgaff in my case, DO NOT have APN settings stored on their SIM cards. The OS doesn't seem to be configured to remember it. Ideally when you swap from wifi to 3g, your OS shouldn't have to read your SIM. However WP in current state seems to be reading SIM everytime you swap from wifi to 3g. However, when it can't find anything on the SIM i.e. APN settings, the live services won't work.
If this works, please please please drop me a PM as I don't use this Lumia forums at all. I have a Titan, so I wouldn't know. But if this works, I will have to write to WinPhone Support with whom I've been conversing for about a month now!!

Mind sharing what settings you're using? Also, are you using WP's built in APN tool or Nokia's Network setup?
APN is: att.mvno (all other fields are empty).
Using the built in WP APN under cellular in settings.
Tried the Nokia but it messed up the phone so I took it out.
Let me know if this helps.
I'm using my 800 on StraightTalk and have had the same issue. I found there are essentially 3 places where the APNs can be set up, and reboots must occur at the right time. (Win settings, ##634#, and Nokia tool)
it seems to be overly sensitive as to how they are configured. I must have reset this thing at least a half a dozen times before getting it to work. Ultimately, I ended up with the settings in all 3 places, but the sequence I did it in is Win Settings (network APN), ##634# (both network and MMS settings), a reboot, and then download the Nokia tool via WiFi and use it to enter the settings there for both network and MMS followed by another reboot. That issue is most definitely related to the APN settings, but I'm not quite certain why I had to do the hokey pokey to make it work. None-the-less, I hope this helps a little. Once you get it working, it seems to stick through reboots, wifi, or pretty much anything except swapping out the SIM card, which hosed everything up again.

Interesting. . . There doesn't seem to be anywhere to do that in the most up to date version of the diagnostics tool. (I know they changed a few things in the most recent update.)
I may have to restore to a previous version . . .
Thanks

I just activated my Straight Talk SIM yesterday (I was on T-Mobile's EDGE connection) and used Nokia's Network Setup tool to add, and make current, a new APN with att.mvno under the Internet APN's 'name' field. That's all I did, and data works fine (surprisingly, even on the RM-801 which doesn't have AT&T's 850MHz band).

How is call quality and what are your download/upload speeds. Been debating whether I should get a RM-819 device which is harder to obtain than a RM-801.
Hi all, I landed in Heathrow for vacation a couple days ago and immediately bought a local sim (EE 500 mins, unl text, and 2gb data). I swapped it out while on the tube and I got and unknown sim icon in the status bar. Weirdly, it appears I can send and receive texts (I was getting messages from EE) but I cannot use data. Furthermore, when I took the Eurostar to Paris yesterday, I got a text from EE welcoming me to France, informing me of roaming charges etc so it is clearly communicating with their servers.
I'll be heading back to London on Tuesday, and I'd like to have data then.
I am rooted, but still running stock ROM.
Is this a Verizon, LG, EE problem? Or is it a combination?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
Probably some APN issue but I wouldn't know what exactly you need to do to fix it. Anytime you run a phone that's set up for one carrier on a different one you usually have to at the minimum change APN settings to have full functionality.
Maybe where you got the SIM from can give you the correct APN settings. Make sure and back up your existing APNs first.
Enjoy your vacation. Safe travels!

Thanks for the reply! I created the appropriate APN with info from their website but still no dice :/
Ur going to have issue the icon will remain as long as u are you using a non verizon sim as far as data normal issue have been not being able to recieve mms. Make sure data is enabled then recheck your apn make sure its fpr smartphones then if all else fails it possible your carrier may not be able to connect to data via verizon hardware
I am getting the same problem in the UK - see the OP - same 'unknown SIM' icon in the top bar. I have voice & text, but no data.
Two different carriers in the UK give me the same problem - 02 and EE - so it's not unique to one carrier. If anyone has further info I'd appreciate it - otherwise I'm down to put this phone aside & buy a new one as I'm living the the UK for a year or longer.
Has anyone been able to attach a Verizon LG G3 to a UK providers data? If so, how? LMK please!
Thx in advance!
