So, I had my phone flashed and rooted but it had a very old version that was crashing on me like crazy. Obviously, they guy who did the job and sold it to me, warned me to not use LTE and he had configured it to be disabled by default.
There is a configuration setting that got reset after I updated to Jelly Bean, which by the way there was another update that I just received today. (Ver: 3.16.651.3 710RD).
So I know how frustrating it gets when you want the Internet to properly work including video playback and also MMS settings. There is actually a video on how to configure these things but I just wanted to drop these settings here for everyone that can't view videos to just read them. So here are the steps to follow for: (connection lost to server, retry... etc). My phone does not have "root" and everything works flawlessly. Flash is kept after software updates so, no need to reflash if you update HTC Software.
Dial ##3282# then enter the pass which by default is 000000 unless you have changed it to something else when changing prl.
After that is done you should see the EPST configuration panel, if checked, uncheck USB Charging that's at the bottom.
Navigate to: Advanced>RTSP/HTTP Setting for RSTP Proxy IP just tap it and enter the following:
RTPS Proxy IP = 0.0.0.0
RTSP Proxy Port (mine is 554) and works fine
HTTP Proxy IP = 0.0.0.0
HTTP Proxy port 8085
Now; go back using the back "<" illuminated button on the bottom and configure Advanced>MMSC Settings as follows (tap to configure):
MMSC = h ttp://mms[dot]vtext[dot]com/servlets/mms and hit ok
MMS Proxy (leave it blank, erase whatever is there)
MMS Port enter 8080 and hit ok
MMS Protocol (I'm using 2.0)
The next trick is to download Go SMS Pro from app store and configure its settings as follows:
Tap the squared boxed button that's at the left top corner and then select "Settings" from the pop up screen.
Navigate to: MMS Settings>MMSC enter h ttp://mms[dot]vtext[dot]com/servlets/mms MMS Proxy, mine is blank so I don't know if there is an actual value for it; and for MMS Port enter 8080
Exit out from it and it should save it.
This should enable to you to send MMS however, when attaching photos to send, always choose MMS icon that's on the left when you get the screen options of smiley face, mic, go with hand icon, paint, last is the MMS icon, you should always select it when sending MMS otherwise it will send link instead of the actual image.
== Additional working features with these configuration settings ===
Now, comes WiFi Thetering, at the time of this post I was having trouble connecting to the Internet since I moved to my new apartment so I lost my Internet because I haven't called in for a new service. I became curious about my internet connection. I had tried it before and it failed to keep its connection alive. I would get error, disconnected from wireless service etc etc. It would never connect and it worked one time luckily. However after I lost it, it never worked again, I read today from an article about the USB Charging option with custom ROM however mine is stock. So, I disabled USB debugging from settings and connected it while it was open and it worked fine, it hasn't disconnected since then, however the USB Debugging check appeared again after I had it connected. It could be USB debugging setting that is messing the connection, so try disabling it and connecting with USB.
I haven't tried hotspot yet as I want to publish this before disconnecting since I don't have Internet but from my phone's. If you have something to add, or have a question, just post it here. I will try to help, as for the configuration, everything works fine, Facebook, Pandora, twitter, fast internet speeds, and also Youtube. Did I mention the speeds for WiFi tethering is duper fast? Yeah, it's almost like any regular Internet service, very fast. I"m using Windows 8 Pro 64-bit btw

Do these settings get the LTE working or is it just 3g?

Can any one help me do settings for My Siemens SX-56 Settings for Ufone or Telenor (PAKISTAN) Settings. I have tried to do the settings by accessing the web pages of the said companies but its General Settings and i seem to get lost with the complicated way the settings provided by Ufone.
I also need to know how to send mms which i could not figure out at all.
thx

I can help you with the GPRS and MMS settings for Ufone. No clue about telenor.
For GPRS do the following: (I'm assuming your device has WM2003SE)
- Start > Settings
- Select the Connections tab and click on the Connections Icon
- Click on the Advanced Tab
- Click on the Select Networks button
- On the Network Management screen, under the first dropdown list (for
"programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using",
click the New button.
- On the next screen, enter an ISP name, e.g. UfoneGRPS
- No other settings needed, save these settings and clic on the Tasks Tab
- Now here you will see your UfoneGPRS connection listed with a bunch of
options
- Click on the Add a new modem connection option under UfoneGPRS
- Enter a name for your connection e.g. UfoneInternet
- Select CellularLine)GPRS) in the Select a modem setting, click next
- Enter ufone.plinternet in the Access Point Name box
- Click Next. No further entries needed, click Finish and save settings.
Your connection is now set. Click ok to get all the way back, on the today screen click on the signal strength icon to display the connection bubble. It should display your newly made connection name with a "connect GPRS" lick. Click on it and you should be connected to the Ufone GPRS network in a few seconds.
Good luck. Lemme know how it goes.
p.s. before you can use GPRS and MMS you have to call the customer services at Ufone and ask them to activate both of these services for you. It takes some time for this to happen e.g. you call them today and it will start working perhaps the next day.
For MMS do the following:
Again like the above you have to create a new connection by first creating a connection name and then a new modem connection for it. Lets say you called the connection "UfoneMMS"
These are the settings for that modem connection for UfoneMMS
- Connection Name: Ufone.mms
- AccessPoint: ufone.plmms
- Everything else: default
After this, go to pocket outlook, in the settings, do the following:
Create a Message Server as folows:
Server:
Name: UfoneMsgServer
Gateway: 172.16.13.27
Port: 9201
Address: http://www.ufonemms.com:80/
xxxxxxxx=9999999
(the xxxxxxxx and 99999999 are your MMS account username and mailbox ID that Ufone creates for you and you have to obtain it form their customer services peeps).
Then in the main settings, set the following parameters:
- Connect via: Here you select your connection name e.g. Ufone.mms
- Connect to Server: UfoneMsgServer (the server you just defined)
One last thing, I dont know how important this is but they always say to do it..
In the Slect Networks screen (where you first defined your connection), click on the Dialing Rules buttons and click "use dialing rules". Then setup new Dialing rules for say, Mobile as follows:
Dialing rules: Dialing patterns
Local: G
L.D. : G
Intl.: G
You should be all set up.
I have heard that recenty they changed some MMS related configuration so you might wanna chekc up with them to see if all the above parameters for MMS are still valid. I had them all setup and working perfectly for a while... but I havent used MMS in a long time so I dont know whats been happening recently.
If you have any trouble, lemme know. Everything should work, its working on my machine.
Access point is ufone.plinternet for lahore connections and
ufone.piinternet for islamabad connections and I think it differs from city to city be sure to check with ufone
APN
What is the Access Point Name for Multan?
please help me.

Try to Hook with Windows Mobile 6.5 standard or professional
then its simple to proceed
and if no, make a hard reset with your phone to re gain the factory settings and then try
BDW, Which Phone you have...?
I called AT&T today cause i got the WM6.1 Standard ROM and my internet wouldnt work, and they gave me the GPRS and Proxy settings if anyone is interested in getting the settings.
Erm... Were you going to share them?
Go to Start->Settings->Connections->GPRS
if there isnt a setting for A&T already, click new. (name it what you want)
Connects To: The Internet
Access Point: wap.cingular
Leave the rest blank
Click Done, then go to Proxy Settings
Again, if there isnt any settings for AT&T, click new. (name it what you want)
Connects From: The Internet
Connects To: WAP Network
Proxy (name: port): wireless.cingular.com:80
Type: HTTP
Leave the rest blank.
Should work like a charm.
Also, under Internet Explorer, make sure you have 'automatically detect settings' checked under the connection settings in the browser.
Hmmm, I only put the GPRS settings in and it worked, but I constantly loose my connection, I wonder if I need to put in the proxy settings. Guess I try it and see. Gets real irritating when the connection drops all of the time.
Thanks for the info
I entered both sets of settings, and it works flawlessly. Thanks!
Finally got a custom ROM on my phone, NFSFANs, and I must say I really like it, but for some reason I am unable to MMS. I looked through all the places i thought would be obvious settings, but i cant find anything
anyone else experience this?
same issue
i have been haveing the same issue on my touch pro, i dont see were to fix it when i try to send it starts to then says unable to send does any one know of a fix for this, i am useing Energy.HERMAN.23518.StandardM2.5_27.
use this
use this cab, it appears that messaging is still not ready for the new 2011 builds...
This will disable the HTC Messaging and take you back to the winmo messaging.
You also need the second cab to take your phone back to what sense2.1 used and it should work...
There is also a third file attached, that one you install by itself, you have to go to the "all messages" then you have to go to the menu>options>settings and put your settings.
Search on it a little more, If I find the full information again I will let you know. I read on it last night and got my wifes touch pro2 to mms again so this should work for you too...

You can still use these browsers without writing the Connections Value.

Now go to your messages and click menu/MMS options and then click server and click add new. Add new or if you already have one called something else just click it and click edit...you need to change these settings to

AHHH!!!! His reply makes better sense for your question then mine.
I bow to you oh gran masta!!!
Hey all.
(Apologies if this thread is in the wrong forum/should be a continuation of another thread ... I haven't been here for 2 years or so and it didn't seem right to post this in the sticky.)
I set up an alternative APN as per the instructions, and it works fine. Have data connection, can make calls, etc.
However, when I try to set up the Wireless Hotspot option on the phone, it seems to take forever. It pops up a message saying (essentially) "Make sure you have permission to do this. Also it will drain your battery," and then it starts setting up the hotspot.
The problem is, I've been sitting at "Setting up data link" for about 10 minutes now, and I can't cancel it unless I reboot the phone.
Is anyone else having this problem? How long does the hotspot enable take you guys?
Make sure that as the APN Type you enter "default"
Christ, I accidentally hit "tab" and lost my whole reply. Gonna try to recreate it.
I saw that in the stickied thread. I couldn't update my post because I am apparently not verified and need to wait 5 minutes between posts, and I needed to drive to work.
For reference, here's the post that talks about that:

FYI to get tethering to work you need to set the custom APN type to default:

Otherwise the hotspot never fully starts.

It seems some people have had success with repeated reboots ... going to try that now.

I get the same error about calling 611, I have the iphone unlimited plan so PHONE and PDPWAP1 apns are set up on network side. There seems to be a check script that runs before the hotspot turns on
Hope y'all figure this out, it is past me.

for me, having "default" set in APN type gave me the message to call 611 to activate. However, with my APN set up exactly how it appears in that stickied thread, it would just hang on setting it up. However, I just kept trying it, between reboots, and it finally launched the hotspot. I changed the settings and applied WPA security...
so, for me, it didn't work right out of the gate, but stick with that APN in the other thread and be patient. turn it on and wait... if it takes "too long", reboot and try again. It did finally turn on when I was at my office (full 5 bars of service, strongest "3G" signal in town) vs. at my fiance's house where I only have 1-2 bars of 3G (ok, H+) where I tried to first launch hotspot (and it hung on "setting up data link").
I've tried restarting the phone 3 or 4 times.
I also have a grandfathered unlimited data plan (my last phone was the Tilt - TytnII, so that shows you how long it's been since I've bothered screwing with phones and stuff).
Does anyone who's gotten the hotspot to work have unlimited data?
[edit]Also, I haven't rooted my device yet. Has anyone gotten the hotspot to work without rooting?
Thanks.

I have the unlimited data plan and have been messing with this stuff a while too
edit: oh, and I'm rooted. Not sure if that matters, but it might.
I figured out how to kick start the hotspot without multiple reboots.
Set the APN as described and then start the hotspot.
When you get the message that it's setting up the link, go and manually start up WiFi... it will kill the hotspot. Then go back and enable the hotspot while WiFi is on.
It will kill WiFi and start the hotspot without issue.
I only had to do this once.
I've found that if WiFi is enabled before you start the hotspot feature, it works fine.
Whenever WiFi is off, the hotspot has issues starting up.
It's almost like there is a call in the hotspot initiation sequence that wants to kill WiFi before running, but hangs if the WiFi service is already disabled.
Anyway... this worked for me, your mileage may vary.
OK, so now my hotspot is working.
I'm not sure how it happened. I'll list my steps.
I enabled hotspot.
Then, while it was setting up, I turned on wi-fi.
Then I went back to hotspot, and clicked "enable" again.
Hotspot was all, "I can't set up".
Then I went to the APN, and changed the APN type from "default" to blank.
Then I got a message that the hotspot was working.
I think it might have been two "Hotspot enables" running at the same time that let me start up.
I will try diabling and re-enabling the hotspot to see if it works, and also changing the APN type back to "default" to see what happens.
I will let you know.
Best,
~Viper
[Update]
I can now enable/disable hotspot at will and it continues to work. I have set the APN Type back to "default" with no change.
I think the solution is this:
Enable Hotspot
Enable Wifi
Enable Hotspot
Do them quickly, and the first attempt at hotspot setup will fail (expected) but the second hotspot attempt will not attempt to verify, so you can get a hotspot. After that, it will enable any time you want.
Hope this works for other people, and thanks to rjohnstone for the help.

Well I have tried it a couple if different ways and have it yet to work for me. For some reason after I start the hot-spot and then start WiFi it doesn't kill the hot-spot. I tried it immediately after starting hot-spot and even half way through but no luck for me. I hope someone figures this out soon.

Start the hotspot, then start wifi. Then go back to the "mobile hotspot" tab.
Is the checkbox checked, unchecked, or disabled? For me, the checkbox was unchecked even though in my "process area" on the task bar there was still the hotspot icon. If the box is unchecked, check it. What you'll see (maybe) is that the hotspot fails ... and then suddenly succeeds! (ymmv)
~Viper
I don't seem to be able to by-pass the part where my account is checked. It comes back telling me that my account is not enabled and to call 611.
My phone is rooted and the APN is set up as listed above. Any thoughts?
UPDATE: Turned out that if I removed the 'default' in the APN type field it works. Go figure.....

Well I got it to work, I took out the default entry for the APN type. It worked after that. Although I did connect through wireless with my laptop and I get a limited connection telling me I have no actual Internet Connection. I waited for some time and have since reestablished connection with my phone and restarted Tethering but it doesn't seem to work. At least I am closer.

duuuuuuuh. yeah I missed that detail.
No hitch, Worked perfectly. I screwed up at first and did not save and reboot immediatly so it did not stick on the APN that I made and kept switching back to the default.
Did the entire sequence over following the directions EXACTLY and worked no problem.
Great Work.
Thanks for the easy to follow instructions. I am pretty sure that it worked for me as well. I will have to wait untill I get into an area with 3g service. It won't allow me to start the service while on this goofy edge network. Guess I need stilts for my house...

What I did and it worked right away was I set up the new APN then added the default to type, tried the wifi tether didnt work told me to call 611 then I took the default off saved it and tried tether again and it worked right away... infact it works better this way that the way it comes out of the box. It took forever to connect out of the box and it would mess up too. Thanks everyone for the helpful posts
Hi guys,
I don't know where else to ask this, it has me totally stumped.
I just changed from O2 to Tesco pay monthly and I can't get my AOL and Gmail accounts to connect.
I've talked through the APN settings with Tesco but they're unable to figure it out either.
I can connect to the internet OK via a browser but my email accounts return an error when I go to inbox and send/receive:
"Cannot Connect", "Cannot connect with current connection settings, to change your conection settings, tap settings"
I've been through it many times without success.
My mail accounts are set up properly, they were working with the O2 SIM, and they connect fine and send/receive over WiFi.
Am I missing something?
(I also have 3 native SD android roms installed on the HD2, they won't even connect to the internet despite my best efforts, phone calls work fine though).
I put the Tesco SIM in an old Wildfire, and it configured correctly straight away
Spent all day googling and trying to figure this out
Help. :crying:
What was the settings they gave you ?
Was it WAP based internet .
What WM ROM are you using, do you have the HTC connection setup link in Settings>Connections as that has Tesco Mobile settings can auto install them.

Thanks for replying
APN: prepay.tesco-mobile.com
Username: tescowap
Password: password
Proxy 193.113.200.195
Port 8080
Yes, I believe it's WAP based.
Rom = 1.66.405.2 WWE
Radio = 2.15.50.14
Yes, I have the connection setup link and I've cleared/reset the database several times.
I also went into Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks and removed all the previous modem settings.
I've used the database settings and also the ones sent by Tesco by text.
Tesco seem to be pretty good, their helpline operator ran through all the settings using his onscreen WM6.5 representation of the HD2's menus (I was surprised they just didn't say "not supported"), but it still doesn't work.
I'm wondering if it could be the Radio Rom, as none of my Android Roms will connect to the internet, (although WM does)
It would be a major task to hard reset, as I have some critical work apps installed and configured just right, so I don't want to do that unless there's no other choice.
If you get another providers sim to work on internet then I doubt it device or radio but rather settings as WAP & proxy is a bit of a pain.
Try the following (I hope has small variation on what you may of tried already !, be sure double check typing & make sure the modem connection has the black selection dot in it once completed; settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections. Add a new modem connection ("New" soft key). Put a appropriate name for new modem connection and choose "cellular line (GPRS)" Next enter apn address, prepay.tesco-mobile.com . Next enter username, tescowap . and password, password . Finish . Under proxy tab , tick "this network uses a proxy.." Put 193.113.200.195 in proxy server box . Tap advanced and put 193.113.200.195:8080 for the first 3 (HTTP, WAP, Secure WAP) and 193.113.200.195:1080 for the last (Socks). Exit from settings then go back in & check you can see the new modem setting & that it the checked connection option, exit again & Soft reset & fingers crossed ...
I'm using a custom WM ROM so don't be put off too much if some details seem named differently.
You may want clean out existing settings or try couple of changes in details if doesn't work :-S
Not a keen fan of your radio version but it is a well used one & I not seen internet connection issues with it but you never know ! so a radio change maybe worth a shot if really come to an end on the settings !
Hi, this is a screenshot of the settings, I think I got it right?
It still doesn't work
instead of port 8080 try 9201 !
I do remember newer builds of Magicall software caused internet connection failure, u happen to have that by any chance !
Port 9201 disables all my internet connection and email still not working
I tried 8080 again, internet back but no email.
I don't have magicall, though I wish I did sometimes
In connections advanced tab under select networks button what do you have selected for programs that automatically connect to the internet ?
Seems it actually connecting in terms of internet means you can't be far off.
Worth running through mail settings & see if anything can be adjusted to help.
Also what mail type is setup here (IMAP/POP3) & does Tesco Mobile have any limitations on mail server connections ?

Tesco Mobile Test - the one we just set up manually.

I can't find anything except the normal settings to adjust. Plus my email settings work fine over WiFi

AOL is IMAP4, I haven't asked Tesco Mobile if they have any specific limitations but the standard settings work fine with the SIM in a Wildfire running Android 2.2, I've gone through all the working settings on the Wildfire to see whether there's anything different there but I can't find anything, though I suppose there might be some small but important setting I've missed
I also tried to set up a gmail account on the HD2, but that doesn't work either
