Hey guys! my friend asked me to connect his phone to the internet, I figured it was going to be easy insert the APN information and be done with it but this phone is super weird. I have to fight with it just to be able to select the type of network and for some reason it will only connect to GRPS and it wont go to anything above that. (Even though it should connect to EDGE on T-mobile and 3G / 4G on AT&T)
Google led me to another post here with some one having the same issue. He was unable to connect to the EDGE network with this phone. Can any one on AT&T tell me their settings? Besides the APN maybe a setting in the secret menu? I dont know I'm going nuts.
thank you guys.
you need to get original rom back

High all. I just purchased a Vibrant today that was brand new in the box and had never been turned on. The first thing I did was unlock it to work with AT&T. Everything works including 3G, however whenever I try to select any option in wireless settings I get this message "Unable to change networks during data service activation. Do you want to disconnect the data service and change available network?"
Does anyone know what caused this and how to fix it?
Did it ever connect to a tmobile network or did you put in the att sim right away?

I put the att sim in right away as I dont know anyone with tmobile. There must be a way around it. Like in one of those hiden menus.
Its just a notification that its stopping data to find a new source. Mine does that when I switch it to "2g only". Its ok, idata will turn back on after a few moments
^^ yep, i get the same message when i toggle between 2g/3g. not a problem at all.
Ok thanks for the reply guys.

I am using the t mobile HTC HD2, I have it unlocked and running it for my at&t network. I have also started using the android program through my sim card, so basically my phone is running on the android interface. It works great, however i cannot access the internet nor send/receive picture messages. I need to figure out the VPN setting or Proxy setting for the at&t provider. Since at&t does not have this phone they are unable to help on where or how to do it.
Anyone got this same situation and figured it out?!
Please help, thanks
Try adding an apn manually using the settings from here......
Cant guarantee it will work, but worth a try.
If it does work, beware of data charges. Unless you have an unlimited plan.
I dont know where i can put in a new apn, i can only access vpn settings, and the proxy settings.
isnt there anything under "connections" - "networks" or something similar??
if not then I dont know, sorry
ok i found where to put in the apn, i put it in, but nothing seems to work, thanks for the try though...
i cant be the only person using the hd2 for at&t right? lol
might be worth asking in the tmous section....
best of luck.....
idk what that section is, im new to this blog, can you help
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 all,
about two weeks ago a flood came through pa and ever since that flood came through the tower by my house is putting off a "bad 4g" or "h+" signal, which my atrix is forced to used, when i make a phone call the atrix drops down to 3g and i can get on the internet no problem and i can get on any other tower no problem, i called att about the problem and they said the tower by my house is in a degraded state and they don't know how long it will be before it gets fixed, to me it doesnt seem to be a priority since the problem only affects those who's phones use the bad h+ signal. I know the phone would function fine if there were some way to drop the phone down to 3g or edge as my wifes captivate works off the sme tower no problem. I have tried the #*#*4636*#*# option - gms blah blah and it didnt do anything to change the h+, i even figured out how to modify the settings under etc/motorala/android.phone/settings.xml to get the network settings ungreyed only to find out that changing the settings to 2g or 3g did nothing to change the h+ symbol, i am running stock rom 2.3.4 att, one thing i did noticed don't know if it is related but the apn's are locked, do i need to unlock my phone to force edge? those of you who have atrix and are able to force edge please let me know how you are able to and weather or not your phone is locked. if at all possible i would like to avoid flashing roms but would be willing to unlock my phone if it goves me the ability to force edge. this is ridicous that att would lock this option out. please help me as having no internet on my phone sucks
*#*#4636#*#* -> phone information -> set preferred network type to -> GSM only -> Press back button to exit out of it.
Do not attempt to change anything else.

i Tried that and it did not change the h+ down to edge and when i go back in it is set back to gsm auto/ are your apns unlocked or phone unlocked if this actually does work for you?
apn wap.cingular and set to use 2g only. wap.cingular is edge. hsdpa will be 3g speeds.
i know i thought of that too, except att has locked all of their apns they have a little lock next to them? any one know how to remove the locks or is this the same thing as unlocking the phone?

Add a new apn and select it. You can only have one active at any time anyways.

There isn't a 2G option in APN settings.
Hello from a noob. I have done the saferoot, text edited the sales dat to AWS and changed the other file (forget the name) from OFF to ON. Basically I switched the IMEI on my Metro account to a 545. I kept the same SIM. The store says there demo SIM does not pick up the internet either. The internet worked for 2 minutes and now there is no logo (4g lte, H+ etc) and no connection to the internet at all. I have tried going into the bands etc. but I think I'm missing something (I guess obviously). I have done "everything". Updated the APN settings etc. etc. It is stock rom except the root and the minor text edited changes. It is on 4.3 android. Can anyone out there please tell me how to turn off the stupid VZN LTE band option (I think that is my problem) however when I put in the *#276... command it doesn't pull up the menu that lets you access the band option like I've seen on Youtube. It gives me a different menu with UMTS at the top. I still haven't found the turn off the VZN LTE option. Any help at all would be appreciated. The dialing and text messaging work so it's a clean phone but for some reason the phone is blocking my damn internet. Thanks for the help.
When you installed the MetroPCS SIM, did you configure the APN to use their network?

Yes sir. I have done it all and nothing has helped. My only thought is finding that switch for the Verizon band or something else in the programming but I can't get to that damn menu. And the *#276.. number is not working on the phone anymore either.
So for those interested that may have Metro and are having the same problem I finally just updated the phone with the stock 4.4 firmware (clean wipe and all that) with Odin and it now works and the LTE no longer shuts off. After hours and hours of agony I finally did it. I tried rooting and everything on 4.3 and I don't care that I lost root - I'm just glad it works now. I do appreciate for what it's worth all the information on here and best wishes to you guys for all the future modding, unlocking the bootloader and all of that. See you around.
