Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have the AT&T Smart Wi-Fi apk where I can sideload it on my international Galaxy II? I tried to download it from the Market, but it won't allow me because it doesn't detect my unlocked phone as an ATT phone (even though I am an ATT account holder using their sim). From what I read, this app autoconnects you to ATT's hotspots (starbucks, etc.) automatically like the iPhone. This is the app I'm talking about...

I purchased a T-mobile Samsung Vibrant from Ebay. Then I rooted it and unlocked it by using an application available at Android Market. I inserted the Wind Sim Card. The phone works fine but the 3G service does not work. Do I have to reset the phone or does anyone know what to do?
Your carrier may not be running the 1700, 1900, or 2100 bands that the vibrant accepts for 3g.

You have to make sure you have the correct APN settings entered for your carrier (every carrier is different). Your phone will NOT automatically detect them.
You might also be using a carrier that uses a different frequency of 3G. There would be no way to get it to work unless your phone supports their frequency. Kind of like tuning into an FM station with an AM radio.
Thanks for your quick response. I entered the APN settings for my carrier and 3G works fine now. That's why I love the forums.

Can i ask how did you unlock your Phone? Is it faster on your new Carrier?
First I rooted my phone and get the busybox. The information is available by searching google 'root-your-samsung-vibrant-tutorial.' I can't send you a link cause I am new at this forum.
Then I used the 'Galaxy S Unlock' application which is available at the Android Market to unlock it. The other application 'SGS Unlock' did not unlock my phone.

Okay good everything i have. Now did you flash it while it was Stock JFD or JI6? And if you did have you tried any roms after you unlocked?
Does anyone know how to access AT&T Wifi Hotspots with the Streak? I have an unlimited data plan and should be able to access them for free (I used to on my BB's) but the Streak does not auto authenticate...?
Are you running a carrier unlocked Streak?
I bought the unlocked Streak last month and the apps to authenticate the phone on the AT&T wireless hotspots are not on the phone.
I have not tried calling AT&T yet to see if there is another way to get access.
I am actually using DJ Steve's ROM .

Maybe someone has the apps and can share with those of us on AT&T who have unlocked Streaks?
I have found that if you install battery doctor (free app - market) and go to settings, its gives you the option to turn on the WIFI hotspot. You can then configer security for it.

This discussion is about the free WiFi hotspots provided by AT&T. In the US almost every McDonalds and a lot of other places have WiFi provided by AT&T. If you are an AT&T customer these are supposed to be free to connect to, but the software that is on AT&T locked phones is not on unlocked phones purchased from Dell. Using these free WiFi hotspots helps prevent using up your data allotment.
I believe that what you are talking about is turning on the portable WiFi hotspot that the phone can provide to other devices.
Sorry I misread the post.
ATT Hotspot - There is no App
You connect to AT&T hotspots through settings. Do the following:
Settings>Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi settings then select attwifi.
It's been a while since I did this so I don't remember is you may be asked for your AT&T email account and password.
There is no app. It's just a setup.
Edit: Forgot to say you have to be at the hotspot e.g. McDonalds to setup the connections.

Not as simple as that. You get a page saying you can sign up for AT&T wifi or login to your existing wifi account. If you have an iPhone it connects with no issue.

Hi everyone,
Not sure where to post so just posting here in general. One week ago I bought a contract from T-Mobile UK on samsung galaxy s3 GT-I9305 LTE version with unlimited text and internet.
The problem I am facing is that my SKYPE work perfect on wifi but On 3G its does not work at all. can not even login.
I have searched the google and found out that orange and t-mobile uk blocks VOIP and skype calls (specially block skype).
Is there any way around to use skype on 3G? like change port or using some sort of bypass or somefing?
Regards,
In settings > more settings > mobile networks > there are 3 options . There is an automatic option which jumps from band to band depending on coverage. 1. lte/gsm/wcdma 2. gsm 3. Wcdma the later 2 options is 3g mode and I think wcdma means 2g not sure
But Skype works fine for me I always leave it on option 1. Auto
Skype itself does not have any options for this.

Thanks for the quick reply. Mine is set to AUTO as you said. Its not phone problem. Its EE (T-mobile uk and orange) who is blocking SKYPE. My work colleague have iphone 5 on same network and he is also unable to use SKYPE on 3G..
Hi,
Not sure if this has been posted, but I did a search and was not able to find any thread on this.
I have a Koodoo Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH T989D) that I rooted and unlocked. When I put my Fido SIMin, I can only make voice calls and no data connection, none of my cellular data app./browser can connect to the internet, WIFI is working fine. I used both the APN drawn from the SIM card and manually set them according to the Fido forum, and both doesn't seem to work.
I've enable Data Roaming and still no luck, has anyone sucessfully unlock a Koodoo Samsung Galaxy S2 and got the data to work on the Fido network?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.
did you talk to your provider, they may have enable settings on their server.

Like to add that this is a Samsung Galaxy SII x
Hello all,
I have been unable to find a clear answer to this question--I hope you will bear with me:
I have a Galaxy Note 2 from Verizon running Android 4.3. Before leaving for a trip to India this week I confirmed with Verizon customer service that the phone was unlocked. In Delhi I purchased a local sim card (from Airtel) and inserted it. Voice and text work perfectly but the data plan does not. The sim works when inserted into other phones but not in this one. The Airtel techs cannot figure it out. I have access to the APN settings under the Mobile Networks menu and have edited the Name, APN, Server, APN type etc. as indicated by Airtel but no dice. When I go to "Select" it finds Airtel after some spinning and when I select Airtel from "Network Operators" I get a "registered on network" message but still can't get data.
Is it the case that Verizon locks the data on this phone? Is there any way for me to unlock this from India? I don't really know anything about rooting phones.
Any help appreciated!
I also use the same handset in India and use other operator sim...no trouble so far in data
