problem with gprs internet of my vibrant - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys =)
right now I'm in Azerbaijan Republic and i am using the local mobile operator Azercell here.
i went to their office and they gaved me the gprs internet settings for my vibrant.
but the problem is that i cant log in to internet with programs like Skype, Youtube and android market. however the web browsers like opera and native browser of android works in internet very well.
i dunno how to fix this problem =(
i already tried to reinstall programs, restart my phone but none of these progams wants to work.
they say that i dont have internet connection.
but i know that i have it cos the web browser works!
Does anyone knows why this happening?
and how can i fix dat?
Thank you in advance!
P.S.
my phone is unlocked with unlock code that i bought online. so i never did any system changes to phone

Well, Youtube, Skype etc won't work with GPRS. GPRS is like dialup network...it is too slow.

oh thank you =)
i already found out what was the problem )
and its not important anymore cos i'm finally going back to US and T-mobile =P
P.S.
by the way, you'r right, i just fixed this with activating the normal internet to my number. (i called the operator and they did it for me)

Wow, you actually bought an unlock code for the vibrant when there is a free app that can unlock it?

yeah, I couldnt figure out how to use that program.
i am too noob for dat =P

tmobile wallaby on cingular network - how to set up internet?

I have an unlocked wallaby, with the special edition rom v 1.2, haha. Its still ppc 2002 [planning to eventrually upgrade..any tips would be nice for that..BUT thats now what this is about]
I'm attempting to set up my cingular gprs and media net on this, maybe im silly, and you cant do it..but i keep trying anyways, haha.
I tried this http://supportcingular.atgnow.com/cng/knowledgebase/KB367.html and it wont connect.
are there any sites [preferrable step by step] that has this info? I've gotten multiple different reasons for not connecting, haha.
that guide is ok if the operator settings are the same as yours
if not get your operators settings
a good way is using search in networking forum
for gprs AND <operatorname>
Thanks.
I finalllllly got it somehow. i did multiple searches on cingular gprs and media net and all, and finally i found one that works, so now i think i should be able to get mms, yay <3 i hope so, haha.

How do i get messenger working?

Hi there,
Just picked up my S740 and i'm trying to get it working with my Three sim card. The phone and the internet work oK, but i can't seem to get MSN working. I just get a cannot connect message.
In fact, i've even connected to my wifi network and messenger still does not want to work. There must be something simple i am missing!
As an alternative, is there another messaging programme i can use instead of messenger which can access hotmail accounts?
I hope someone can help.
OK, there is something more significant that i'm missing or fundamentally wrong with this device. I've downloaded palringo and i can't connect to either msn or yahoo messenger.
Any clues?
you've not been silly enough to program a proxy into the connection settings have you?
At this stage, I'm willing to accept any suggestion, no matter how ludicrous.
But there is no proxy. Besides, i browsed to the parlingo site on the phone, downloaded it on the phone, but when i run it can't connect. Surely the proxy would have prevented internet connectivity on the whole?
Unless there is a specific proxy setting in messenger that i can't see.
I love the phone, but at this rate it's going to go straight back.
OK, i've worked out the problem.
There's nothing wrong with the phone. The problem is with the f*@#ed up 3 Mobile SIM which totally locks up the device and does not allow you to do anything. I suspected something was up when i couldnt install the newer Live file due to insufficient rights.
So for anyone searching for a similar issue, you cannot use this device with a Three mobile SIM. Unless someone knows how to unlock it?
it's cos three block a **** load of stuff. I suspect that if you have the internet addon, it may allow it.
have a check with some of the guys in the Diamond and Raphael forums, cos there's a few there that have three SIMS and had similar problems with messenger.
It's all down to three blocking everything apart from texts and calls and charging you for everything else. They have a special version of MSN messenger that either uses alternate ports, or is allowed through their packet sniffer. I'm not entirely sure how they block stuff, but i know they do.

Google maps no longer loads

Hi all,
been using the google maps app that comes with the HD2 a lot, but suddenly it won't load using mobile internet anymore.
It works fine over wifi, but it seems it doesn't want to use my dataplan anymore.
It doesn't matter whether i have 2g, 3g or hdspa connection, it just hangs on 'loading' or 'searching'.
I checked the connection with opera and it works fine, can load any webpage pretty fast.
What can i do to fix it? is there a way to reinstall it? I don't have a cab because it came installed on my HD2.
edit: after a soft reset it won't even load over wifi anymore!
Edit2: hmm, after another soft reset it will load over wifi again but still nothing over mobile connection
get the newest version from here mate, just install and it will delete you're previous version

Same problem here in Rotterdam. Was wondering what could be the problem, but since other people seem to have the same problem, it more than likely is the connection to T-Mobile's network again.....
As is the case with you, WiFi connection allows to start up Google Maps properly, however as soon as mobile network is used, Maps no longer works because of lack of connection to the network....

new version has the same problem
i read online that it may have to do with proxy settings but have not been able to resolve the issue
also, the guy at the t-mobile store was less than usefull (big supprise there)
I just spoke with the t-mobile helpdesk and they are already aware of the problem.
They told me it is a problem with the google server's connectivity and that some ppl can't even synchronise their gmail or other google services (haven't had that problem myself)
They're looking in to it so hopefully it won't take too long
Someone at T-Mobile has earned his/her salary this month: it's working again....

[Q] Apps works fine over WIFI but not on EDGE

I am having an odd problem with my Optimus one. Internet connection is working fine for all the apps over WIFI, but when i switch to my EDGE connection, apps like Market, Mail (Yahoo), Facebook, Cnet, NDTV and many more are giving an error saying "Network error, Unable to retrieve error". I tested the mobile network settings and i am able to browse fine using browser app in my mobile. Looks like only my browser alone works fine using EDGE. I searched a lot but couldn't figure out the solution.
Note: I recently rooted my device and moved few apps to my SD card using Titanium. I am thinking if i have moved some important app which should be running in internal memory for the apps to retrieve data in EDGE networks. Before rooting i was able to connect to internet for all the apps both using WIFI and EDGE without any problems.
Please help. I am struck with this problem for over two weeks.
Thanks in Advance
im not sure if this will work but try this:
go to settings>wireless&networks>mobile networks>access point names
there set the options that are appropriate for your phone
Yeah.. i verified that.. Thanks for helping. but i don't think its problem with mobile networks as i am able to launch all the websites using my browser apps. Its just that my apps are not able to use the mobile network i guess.

I guess the problem lies with the apn only...
It happens with me sometime as the access point name automatically switches to wap access point when data is not available over gprs
I think your cell is currently using a wap access point...try switching it back to gprs one...
Like here in my bsnl
bsnllive is for wap &
bsnlnet is for gprs....
Press thanks if thos helped....

[Q] Help. Problem with 3G Internet on Droid RAZR

Hello guys! I’ve got XT910 since December 2011, everything was OK, but few days ago something happened and my 3g Internet doesn’t work anymore. At first I thought that it problem with my cellular communication operator, but I checked my SIM-card on another phone and found that 3g Internet works properly. Another 2 reasons that makes me think that problem is in my phone, it’s:
First, I still have a symbol of 3G connection on top of display, and when I make request a page from browser the arrows on this symbol start highlight in both direction, but browser says “Web page not available”. And second, sometimes I use Orbot for anonymous browsing, and yesterday I found that Orbot can connect to server, I checked Orweb browser and I found that Internet works on it as before. I install Proxymator, and redirect all my internet traffic through Orbot, and all browsers and applications that require Internet connection start work properly. But I didn’t find the root cause why I couldn’t connect to 3g internet direct. Maybe somebody can help me? Sorry for my English.
Sounds like something is blocking it. Have you installed anything recently?
