[Q] anyone with mini pro on giff gaff? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

yo,
i've just got my giffgaff simcard (uk) and i've put all the suggested settings in for internet and i've tried the giffgaff app for applying settings but i can't get any data transfer whatsoever.. calls and texts are fine.
if you have solved this problem please let me know how
Jon

Try This
Settings> Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
New APN - Enter only these -
Name: giffgaff
APN: giffgaff.com
Username: giffgaff
Password: password
MCC: 234
MNC:10
APN type: default
This works for me. Hope it helps! Cheers

I'm on giffgaff... when i swapped sim from o2 i had problems with data.
In settings, Access Point Names, there should be one for GiffGaff automatically, if it's not selected, select it, double tap into it, and from menu button, save it.
That's all it took to make it work on mine... running Owains 2.2 floyo 3.6 version.

Problem with o2 UK GPRS

HI there
i have an problem with my GPRS on XDA 2,
the problem is i can't access internet on my XDA2. i have the following setting
APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
username: payandgo
password: password
wap field setting in proxy server 193.113.200.195 @ 9201 port
if i open pda.o2.co.uk wesite in IE, it dispaly every thing very fast aprox @ 45KB/Sec
but if i try to open any other site like yahoo, hotmail, google the speed for GPRS drop to 1KB/Sec. and page can't be dispaled message comes up.
I have PAYG O2 SIM card.
i spoke to o2 Customer services to enable my "Enable Web" services but they told me that they can't do it because i am using PAYG .
IS there any other way to get around this problem i mean without going on contarct with O2. and using the same PAYG sim.
Kind Regards
Gugi
Sorry mate there's nothing that can be done as the Mobile Web APN isn't available for PaynGo

hi all ppl
i found this in this forum
OK, full instructions:
* I recommend deleting any existing GPRS settings you have under the work connection settings before entering these to avoid confusion *
1. Go to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections.
2. You'll see 2 sets of option links. 'My ISP' and 'Work'. Under the work links, choose 'Add a new modem connection'.
3. Name for connection: o2 gprs. Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS). Tap Next.
4. Access Point Name: payandgo.o2.co.uk
5. Username: payandgo
6. Password: password
7. Tap Finish.
8. Back in the connections settings screen, tap 'Edit My Proxy Server'.
9. Tick 'This network connects to the Internet' and 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet'.
10. In the proxy server box enter: 193.113.200.195
11. Tap OK.
12. Back in the connections settings screen, tap the Advanced tab.
13. Tap 'Select Networks'
14. In both drop down boxes choose 'Work' as the connection. Tap OK.
15. Tap OK again.
16. You are now ready to surf o2 pay as you go gprs full internet.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news; these instructions were great a few weeks ago, but O2, for reasons best known to themselves, have clocked PAYG access to GPRS
hi there
these settings still works for me
i use in my proxy server setting port 8080 instead of 80
regards
Gugi
I've managed to get WAP over GPRS working now - these intructions from O2 are what I followed - except that I first deleted teh existing connection (Right-tap on it and select delete):
Xda II GPRS WAP manual settings Pre-pay
It is not possible to select the 'Prepaid' option within 'My Xda' Connections in the O2 Active UI on the XdaII - 'Postpaid' is selected as default and cannot be changed.
To use the XdaII with an O2 Prepay SIM then the WAP settings will need to be changed manually - note that it will not be necessary to carry out a hard (full) reset in order to complete this.
IMPORTANT - once the WAP settings have been changed, if a hard reset is carried out at some future point, then the settings will automatically be re-configured back to Postpaid and they will need to be manually changed again..
XdaII Manual Setup - GPRS WAP (Prepay)
Tap Start > Settings
Tap 'Connections' tab
Tap 'Connections' icon
Under 'My Work Network' tap 'Manage existing connections'
Tap 'Edit'
The 'Select a modem:' drop-down box should be set to 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'
Tap 'Next'
Access Point Name: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Tap 'Next'
Usernameayandgo
Password: password
Domain: leave blank
Tap 'Advanced'
On the 'TCP/IP' tab, only 'Use server-assigned IP address' should be selected
Tap the 'Servers' tab
Only 'Use server-assigned addresses' should be selected
Tap 'OK'
Tap 'Finish'
Tap 'Proxy Settings' tab (*Note, the soft keyboard may be hiding this tab - tap the keyboard icon at bottom right to clear this away)
Ensure that 'This network connects to the Internet' box is ticked
Ensure that 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet' box is ticked
Tap 'Advanced'
In the 'WAP' field (Server) enter: 193.113.200.195
In the field to the right of this (Port) enter: 9201
Tap 'OK' and exit
Once you have installed the settings into your handset and saved them, please switch off your handset and switch it back on. This will activate the settings for you.
you can still have full internet on o2 p&g, mines working fine
so you can actually use Interent Explorer to reach html pages?
Can you check out your settings and see how they differ from what's in my last post? Then I'll see if I can get this working too...
Just a quick not here. Try changing the http port to 8080 instead of the default 80 (thanks to gugi_sat). All works perfectly for me now Just need MMS now.
Thanks for the help guys

Tesco Mobile on the T-Mobile G2 Touch

Hey guys.
I've had my T-Mobile G2 Touch for a while now, however, I've since changed contracts to Tesco Mobile.
My phones unlocked, and signals perfect, although they'res one small problem, through T-Mobile I had mobile internet on, working perfectly when it felt like it wanted too, but since I've been with Tesco I haven't had any Mobile Internet access.
It's probably down to the settings on the phone, but so far I've had no avail with finding an issue towards the problem.
Hopefully someone out there can find the solution or have had a similar problem.
settings --> wireless settings --> mobile network settings --> Access Point names. You need to get the settings to put in there. (google is your friend)
Dont forget to press menu --> SAVE once done, pressing "BACK" will not save your settings.
I've found some settings, however, I've managed to get no where, my phone thinks that I'm now on 02's network, which I know tesco uses, but still to no avail.
Hi, I'm on Tesco mobile and have full 3G access.
I did only get GPRS and EDGE, turns out my SIM was faulty, i have a brand new 3G SIM and can confirm 3G works.
Here are my APN settings:
Name: Tesco
APN: prepay.tesco-mobile.com
Username: tescowap
password: password
I haven't tried MMS yet but here's my settings.
MMSC: prepay.tesco-mobile.com
MMS Proxy: 193.113.200.195
MMS Port: 8080
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
Hope that helps.
Thanks so much!
Works perfectly now!

[Q] Can't text on ATT branded X10 2.1

I had 1.6 on my X10 which was ATT branded. Since I was new to android and xda, I just followed a random tutorial of unbranding (or something) to get my phone to 2.1, because it was before the official att 2.1. I updated before I ever tried texting even on 1.6, so that may be the case, but I can't text at all right now. I thought maybe it was from screwing up during the 2.1 update. I'm trying to install the official 2.1 right now to try, but if that doesn't work, does anyone know how to fix this problem? I NEED texting
what do you mean texting doesn't work?
can you not send messages? Have you received any messages?
Need more details...
Sent from my x10 Platinum
I'll say as much as I can, but I'm a noob when it comes to phone so just ask if you need any more.
My contract lets me text, but when I try, it says "could not send". But I can receive them fine.
I have x10 2.1 unbranded right now, since maybe a year ago, used to have 1.6 att.
I think I rooted my phone... I should have, but not sure (lol)
I've never come across this problem before. But you might want to use flashtool to flash one of the custom roms skiing with the correct baseband. If you need help with this, send me a pm.

You need to set up your wireless apn go to menu/settings/sony ericsson/settings download then wait a few you will see it flash on then go to back button/wireless & networks/mobile networks/network mode/gsm/wcdma preferred (click it)/access point name there shoud be two, one wireless/one mmsc. if for some reason you have three make sure that the top one (the house icon) is checked or you will be roaming.

Okay well after clicking settings download, my only service provider is ATT. When I click that nothing happens for a while but then it ends up saying "Could not download settings. Retry?"
But while it's searching, I have 3 APNS, AT&T, ATT, and SEMC GPRS, which gets selected by default. After it says "Could not download settings. Retry?", all I'm left with is 2 APNs, ATT and AT&T. Both of which I put in manually.
I might just not know what you're saying, but i can't seem to make it work
Well try this these are my APNs in USA Calif. and ONLY change the settings i give you and the way they are (case sensitive) if your in this area if not find a friend an look at theirs.
Also you have to wait to see the 3G/H/or E. And maybe set the GSM/WCDMA Preferred first then download settings. You do not have to click it after it downloads it's just telling you that is your connection name. Then go to settings.
Do this first if your go to reset your APNs download or Manually
Delete the APNs you have now then go and do the settings again.
Menu/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Name/Click APN/Menu/Delete APN.
Menu/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Name/Menu/New APN/ In put settings Menu/Save

Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but it didn't seem to work. What I did was delete my APNs, input yours exactly like that (and left everything else blank), and then settings download. Still didn't work I have H connection, and it does "connect", but even when I go on my browser, it says the url is blocked or something. I don't know what I did different but before this the browser worked fine, just texting wouldn't work. What about that [email protected] thing? I remember something about that. When I put those in, my browser worked fine.
Also one more thing. While trying to fix it, I thought I might as well update to 2.3 if I unbranded it already. But before that, when I was in 2.1, the text would instantly return with "could not send". Now, when I try to text, it says "sending" for a couple minutes and then after that says "could not send" again.
No do not Download settings again, you just put them in then Menu/save.
By downloading settings after you ether wiped the settings you just put in Or you have like to-many apns an your phone is freaking out trying too find the right ones.
But ya I would update the rom. An "I" would use Wolfs rom mo better faster.
Just watch the video can you can't go wrong then try the steps to setup your Apns
Also if you have a friend on the same network just look at his settings.

[Q] HELP Need APN settings for AT&T Tab 10.1

So--went to AT&T today to get data plan for my Tab 10.1. They played with the thing for an hour and told me that the tablet was probably an "overseas" tablet and would not recognize their SIM card.
Called people I got it from (vendor with Amazon in NYC) who assured me that all I needed was the proper APN settings. Been searching net all day and tried about 5 versions with no joy.
Does anybody here have their Tab 10.1 set up with AT&T? AT&T told me that since they don't sell that model they are unsure of settings. I can get the thing to work with WIFI and settings for EDGE.
Any help is appreciated.
Solved!! No 3g connection on tab 10.1

OK---After extensive internet research, turns out that I am not the only one with this problem. I've been back to the AT&T store 3X with 3 different techs working on the tab with no joy! I could get "edge" (2G) and wifi but not 3G.
For others having this problem, here is what U need to do.
First, check ur APN settings. Here is what worked for my GT-P7500.
Name: AT&T broadband
APN: Broadband
Proxy: leave blank

Username: leave blank]
Password: leave blank)
Server: leave blank
MMSC: leave blank
MMS Proxy: leave blank
MMS Port: 80

Be sure to SAVE your settings (click upper right corner and select save)
go back and TAP SETTINGS
THEN:
Tap Wireless and network
Tap Mobile networks
Tap Network mode
Tap GSM only to turn off 3G
Tap GSM/WCDMA AUTOMATIC to turn on 3G
That's it!
WOW----over 330 people looked at this and none of them uses AT&T.
Sweet it worked for me. Thanks for the info!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the info! Was wondering how the **** to get my Mobile share plan working with the 10-20$ addon for my Dell Streak 7. It just wouldnt connect till I used the APN settings above.
Now if I could only get it to text message..

This worked!! I had worked with At&t guys at a store, then called customer service, and finally called customer service back and a tech informed me of this site and I found the APN settings and entered them. They worked, but the tech also corrected something on his side, a "provision" he set to be "try" as it was set for 2G/3G and needed to be changed so that I could get the 4G (hsdpa+) working. I originally had an APN named Cingular 410 on the tablet, and it was also set to wap.cingular with a bunch of other settings that I think are used for phones. The reset 3G trick also helped (tap GSM only, then tap GSM/WCDMA auto) as I wasn't sure if my earlier troubleshooting was actually taking effect.
THANK YOU!!!
Wow I have tried everything... I posted on 15 plus forums, read countless posts saying it was not possible. NOT true! thank you for taking the time to post your efforts.

Cannot modify or add APNs

Hi all,
This is a strange problem I don't find anywhere. In summary, I cannot create or modify APNS. This is the relevant information:
- I have a Pocophone Global version with MIUI 10.1.3.0.
- I'm using a Lebara UK SIM card with an active data plan.
- Data are available when in the UK but not when roaming in Europe (Spain in particular)
- Data are available with a different phone and the same SIM card and plan.
- It only does not work with the pocophone.
- All solutions I see are to add a new APN with the right configuration.
- In my pocophone there are two APN set by default, and none of they work when roaming (Vodafone UK and Vodafone UK Prepay). The configuration seems fine, although the APN type is set to "default,supl,mms"
- I CANNOT modify the existing APNs.
- I CANNOT create a new APN.
- In the APNs menu the only option is to "Reset to default" but there is no "New APN". I can see the "New APN" button when using a different SIM card, from a different company.
- With other SIM cards in my pocophone I can actually create or modify APNs. In that case I can create or modify APNs, but not with the Lebara UK SIM card.
The only solution Lebara is suggesting is to create a new APN with the correct settings, but I cannot do that in my pocophone. I would really appreciate if someone has some clue on how to deal with it, or if there is an alternative way to create APNs.
Thank you very much to everyone in advance.
Cheers.
U mean data roaming?
go setting ==> Sim cards & mobile networks ==> Data roaming ==> Never to Always.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I meant data roaming. The setting you mention is already set to "Always". In fact, I did that before leaving the UK, as someone recommended some time ago.
I have tried to link snapshots of the current APN configuration in this post but I can't because I'm new to this forum. These are some of the relevant APN parameters in Edit access point (that cannot be modified):
Name: Vodafone UK Prepay
APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk
Proxy, Port: Not set
username, password: wap
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN enable/disable: APN enabled
MVNO type: None
I cannot change it, and also I cannot add a new one (the button Add new APN does not exist when this card is inserted, so something seems to be blocked in the phone?). Also, the Preferred network type is set to "Prefer LTE", although I also tried "Prefer 3G" and "2G only (saves battery).
Thank you again.
