My phone;
Xperia Play r800at (att branded)
Unlocked, Rooted, Apn's according to straighttalksim.com
Simcard from an e71
I can use many apps to access my data connection, like Critical Strike(CSPort) and the Android Market App, However when I try to use my simple Browser I get "webpage unavailable". So I thought it was because it was the e71 card. But;
--
Girlfriends phone;
Xperia Mini Pro sk17a (unlocked)
Non-Root, Same apns from straighttalksim.com
Simcard purchased from straighttalksim.com
Her phone also doesnt work with the android phone browser, but still can use the data connection for things like the android store.
--
Now then, I tried using the other apn settings from howard forums, but all that did was take away my ability to send MMS, still couldnt access the browser on my phone. Anyone else having the same issues?
EDIT: Solved this; just dont use the Proxy from straighttalksim.com, can now download from the market, send MMS, everything works. Hope this helps people.

So i got my phone flashed over to metro today but they screwed up and didnt port over my verizon number. I will be going back thursday to have that done since i need to let 48hrs pass. Will that affect doing anything else?
Currently Web works, SMS but not MMS (they say they will fix this), GPS doesnt work (they say it needs to be updated to google maps 4.7, they will fix this as well), phone calls works, email works, and my MMA news app works. No Marketplace access and apps like TiKL, Wordfeud, Engadget do not work.
What is left to get everything working right? It was flashed over but not rooted so its still relatively "stock" 2.1. Ive found this tutorial...
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...an-HTC-Droid-Eris-to-Metro-PCS-(Tutorial-v2.0)
Ive noticed a few apps on my phone that werent there before:
AnyCut
APN Backup and Restore
On one of my screens, theres a Proxy settings thing that when i open it it says
Hostname: wap.metropcs.net
Port: 3128
Whats next for me to do? I guess where do i start in that tutorial? Also, should i do anything since the phone still needs to go back so they can port my old number onto it?

You probably should not do anything until whoever worked on the phone says they are done. They should be able to get the MMS going fairly easily. In the meantime you should DL the Gmaps update and check that the GPS is functional. There are lots of GPS apps that will check signal and signal strength and you may want to DL one of those also.
To DL from the Google Market you will need to use WIFI, most on Metro have no luck with the Mobile Network downloading.
The apps you mention not working probably will not work on Metro. If the app goes out to a site using a specific port it won't work on Metro since to connect to the web you are using a proxy, so the app thinks it can't connect. If the app has a way to be told to use a proxy then it will work.
You should recheck on whether you are rooted .. you probably will find you are since in order to use iptables and the proxy you need autostart and autostart.sh and those cannot be installed on an unrooted phone I think.
In summary after the MMS is working (keep in mind the Metro size limit on MMS, around 240k!!!!) you should be all set.
Ive logged into the market via wifi to check for updated google maps...it says im up to date. I dunno whats going on. So even with that How To guide posted above, apps like Facebook still wont work? How do i check if im rooted? edit: i downloaded a free terminal emulator and typed "su" (without the quotes) and it said "permission denied." I guess this means im not rooted?
Metro size limit on MMS eh? Ill have to look at that. I tried sending a really long text message that normally would have been broken up into several messages (or sent as one large one via MMS) but it would always fail to send. Not sure whats goin on there, it wasnt even a picture or anything.
edit: I know Metro doesnt have alot of 3g coverage but someone said looking at their coverage map and selecting "dual band" shows their 3g coverage and i am well within a 3g covered area according to that. How do i go about getting that 3g/EVDO access going?
I Just rooted my phone using Super One Click rooter and unlocked it using SGS Unlock Pro app from the market. I'm trying to unlock it on Roger's network (i think its the same as AT&T)
Thing is i cannot connect to the internet/data on the phone, it says to check connection settings but i dont know what i need to change. Phone calls and texting works just not data.
Any help would be great, i am pretty new at this stuff and have spent the past 3 days trying to figure this all out
You need to change the proxy setting to those of your network service provide. Just call the customer care and ask them for the detailed info about that, they'll probably send you a sms carrying the settings for you to install based on your device.
If that doesn't work (I had that issue) just manually enter the settings after you ask the agent about them or better yet check them out on the internet. Usually service providers post them on their official sites under GPRS, EDGE or 3G.
Weird i just changed my APN to internet.com and it works
Hello need some help if anybody has an idea about my problem.
I bot O1 from UK lock free with froyo 2.2.1 on it. I tried to update it with lg software crap and bricked the phone. Than after some research downloaded KDZ and a room with froyo 2.2.2 which i installed. Unfortunately the room had all T-mobile crap which does dot really affect the work of the phone. All works fine but can not send MMS. Any idea or just wait for gingerbread and update?
TKS
Try the setting from https://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist .
For me i have to put in "APN type: default,supl" to work with my mobile provider in Singapore.
APN settings
It seems your APN settings are not properly configured.
Maybe you will find your APN settings here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=564459
Good luck!
Not working still. More ideas or just wait for the gingerbread update?
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
MMS
Is your data enabled while you send the MMS?
I have internet which means that data transfer works in 3G. My provider is vodafone AL.
When I try to send mms it changes from 3g to H and than does not send as returns to 3G.
It looks that I will have to wait for gingerbread. I do not want to root.
Hhhmmmnnn
It seems only your MMS setting is not properly configured.
Try installing Tweakker from the Market. Maybe it can help you.
Enjoy your phone while waiting for the GB update
Dunno, any decent operator should be able to send you the proper settings for MMS/Internet via a special SMS. You just open the SMS and are all set.
They tried by sms and i also went into one of their shops they did not understand why , just suggested a downgrade to 2.2.1 which i think with the GB near the corner was useless. Tweeaker did not work either.
However great phone for the price and love the battery life ( 2 straight days but using task killer and android booster)
Hi!
I am on Giffgaff in the UK that uses O2's network.
I can use my phone perfectly without any wifi, screen freeze or battery issues so am very pleased with my SIM-FREE purchase.
However since day 1, I have been unable to download anything off the market using 2g or 3g data connection. It's not just games, all apps etc - can't download anything!
As soon as I switch to wifi, I can download anything I want.
Anyone aware of such issues with this or their previous WP7 devices? I think it's more to do with my APN settings from network provider, but they have exhausted all avenues in helping me with sending settings. I've used HTC Connection setup to install my Giffgaff settings.
Found the answer.
HTC App to Select Network settings for sms, texts.
Then manual install of APN settings for 3g/4g live connectivity.
However, my provider doesn't have correct settings for MMS. Cant send or receive any. However, I get unlimited internet so can email as many pics/videos as I want!
Leaving this thread, in case in future someone has issues with HTC Titan.
Hi folks.
So I've got a Lumia 800, SIM-free from phones4u. I've tried the following to get my MMS working. Note everything else on the phone works fine.
Cut my PAYG O2 sim card to micro sim, booted up phone (first boot), set APN settings etc.
Doing a complete phone reset.
Getting a replacement microsim for O2.
Doing another complete phone reset.
I've bounced between O2 and Nokia's customer support lines a few times to no avail.
Texting the O2 number (2020) to get MMS settings sent to my phone. It errors.
So I have three questions.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Is there a way to force it into the right MMS settings?
Is Nokia's Network Setup application on the way after the secruity flaw that got it unpublished? Any indication when it might be out?
Sorry if any of this is a stupid question. A friend suggested you guys might be able to help.
Got the same problem and I believe everybody with sim free Nokia's experiencing the same problem.
There's no way to change the MMS settings. We need to wait for Nokia to release the app.
It's a bit annoying though.
Lumia 800 on O2 Ireland here as well and MMS is not working. I was expecting this as MMS on my existing HD7 would not work either without running the Connection Setup software provided by HTC.
I'm hoping the Network Setup software will be back soon on the Marketplace(and will actually include O2 Ireland in the settings).
Although my lumia seems ok with mms on tmobile uk, my wifes Mozart wont send or recieve mms at all i have tried everything. As HTC used to have a setup app before they removed it (dunno why its needed) im sure it can be setup by software.
Hi,
Nokia released the Network Setup App again. The only flaw is, I can't seem to find the app in Marketplace. BUT: go to this thread and follow the link in the first post on your phone.
My data connection now works perfectly, but MMS still does not work
Happy to report that USA T-Mobile Lumia 800 sending MMS perfectly.. after reading this thread, I tested this and my coworker got the photo I sent just fine. Didn't even take that long to send (T-Mobile USA restricts Lumia 800 to 2G Edge)
Thanks zoidinger - this got me the app. Annoyingly I now can't seem to actually make it *do* anything. I can select between O2 UK 1, O2 UK2, and tesco mobile, but no matter what it always ends up set to "O2 UK 1" iff I change it, go out and come back in again.
I'll have a play around today when I get the chance and see if I can get anywhere.

The Connection Setup app doesn't exist anymore on Marketplace or what? Because I had a Mozart before and to fix the MMS config I downloaded that app, ran it and then it worked.
BTW: I also got MMS to work on my Lumia yesterday with the Network Setup app. Here's how I did to get it to work:
1. I ran the app
2. Removed the app
3. Turned the phone off
4. Removed the sim card
5. Started the phone
6. Turned it off again
7. Reinserted the sim card
8. Turned it on again.
Now it works!
Right after playing around I got it working!
It was some combination of the following, in various different orders:
Playing with the Network Setup app
Removing the APN settings
Re-adding the APN settings
Rebooting the phone
Thanks so much for the trick to get the Network Setup app!

Unfortunately, that does not seem to work for me. I tested MMS with another phone. It worked instantly. I also checked the MMS settings inside the XAP from Nokia and they seem correct. Don't know what to do else...
The problem affects only branded firmware. Solution:
1. Open Internet Explorer on your phone.
2. We go to the following address: goo.gl/l5vi2
3. Click on the link "Zune Link" in the first post at the top.
4. Install the application.
5. Remove APN manually typed in the phone settings, if any we have (Settings-> Mobile Network-> Edit APN).
6. Run the application, wait a while and we have configured the phone.
7. Close the application.
Here is updated link for Network Setup from Nokia
I had to call Nokia as the previous links in threads did not work. they gave me updated link and I ran the app, power-cycled and sent MMS with no errors on phone. Please make sure you remove any APN settings before running the app, reboot after it detects your carrier. Enjoy, I hope this helps.The forum won't let me post a URL, you can email me directly [email protected] for link and maybe someone can post it
