Hi I have an o2 xda orbit .I have put a t mobile sim in and it phones and voice mails fine,but i cant access the net with it ,any thoughts please!!
you need GPRS and the correct settings. Prvide more info.
hi its connecting to gprs ,the answering modem is disconecting-thks
Do you know, it cost you nothing to type more in your post? However, it does cost you 'the answer' you are looking for if you type less.
Ok a few questions.
What country are you in now?
Does your phone cames from t-mobile?
Is the phone using t-mobile (your country) ROM?
Did you skip the Ext ROM installation?
Have you manage to connect to Internet before?
Does your telco package include Internet?
What do you mean by 'answering modem is disconnecting'?
p/s: If you find me not trying to help you further, either I don't have 'the answer', or I just fed up asking Have a nice day.
hi yea sorry to miff you with the lack of info I will try to address that this time
country UK
Phone is made by O2 (mda Orbit )I am using a t mobile sim that can access the web in my motorola 3i razor ( definate yes to the do I have internet package)
I did install all the disks that came with it (O2)
This phone in new out the box and has as yet to be connected to the web
When i try to access the web I get the message
when i try to get on to explorer i get the message "connecting to gprs",theni get the error message "the answering modem has disconected."-thks
I'm not sure, probably the O2 phone is trying to connect to the O2 GPRS instead of T-mobile, hence the problem. Anyway, read this
http://www.4winmobile.com/q-what-are-the-uk-amp-roi-gprs-settings-for-web-wap-mms-vt1834.html
on the sectin "Setting up Mobile Web connections", it has the settings, and rather detail instructions on how to set up t-mobile UK. Hope that tmobile still uses the same settings. If not, try the WAP section.
I would like to change network provider from O2-Vodafone but still use my Orbit. Will this work and how would I stop it automatically installing the o2 GPRS settins?
Thanks
hi, i purchased a O2 XDA orbit about 3 weeks ago and the person i purchased it from said it was locked to O2. When i recieved the phone it worked straight away with the vodafone sim card. after reading a few threads it seems as tho the O2 XDA orbit's are unlocked already?
i'm not sure how to stop the O2 settings from starting but im sure i seen somewhere that if you soft reset by pressing the little button on the side with a pin as soon as the o2 settings start that should bypass it??
i cid unlocked mine and flashed the Touch 3 vanilla rom and its running sweet with pocketPBplus 4.0.
it automatically setup the settings for vodafone and i can send and recieve mms and also browse online thru the vodafone gprs
hope this helps as its my first post!

I searched around and the web is flooded with the verizon and sprint phone not being able to connect to data. I have a customer who has an unbranded GSM nexus and it wont connect to mobile data. I swaped sim cards with my phone and my phone connected to data with his sim but his phone would not connect to data with my sim. I checked tha APNs and both phones are exactly the same. Both phones are samsung. Mine is an unloccked infuse. We are both useing O2 in germany. What do you guys think.
Set up a new APN with the same settings.
I found on the bottom right had corner a menu button. I am not to familiar with 4.0 yet. i found the reset to default button in there. I het that and let it sit for a few minutes while it did its thing. All is good now. Thank you for the suggestion though.
funny thing is, is that all the settings are exactly the same as before. No idea why it happend but its working now.
I bought my n7100 on taobao here in China, and it's a Korean version. I put my China Mobile sim card in, and it makes and receives calls, and text messages and can use wifi with no problem.
The only thing is the mobile data doesn't work. I rooted and tried tweakker, and HiNet, to reset my APN and MMS settings, but that didn't work. My phone still thinks I'm roaming.. it displays
this message "Data Roaming, You have lost data connectivity because you let your home network with data roaming turned off".
I've also tried updating the APN and MMS settings manualy with information i've found on the web.
I've googled and searched this forum and I can't find much. I thought it would be an easy APN settings fix but it seems not to be...
I took my phone in to the local China Mobile store they couldn't fix it. I took it to a local android expert here and they didn't know what to do.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
If you bought a Korean Note 2, you don't (shouldn't) have an N7100. I also purchased one through Taobao.
You should have an SHV-E250S, E250L, or E250K. Which one do you have? Check the baseband version under Settings > About device page.
No matter what, you're going to be limited to 2G only with China Mobile.
You're right, It's SHV-E250S, and I'm fine using the 2g in China on China mobile, but I'd just like to know how..any help?
Baseband Version is E-250SKSVLJK
Try removing all modifications to your APN settings.
Next, go into Settings > More settings > Mobile networks > Network mode and change it to GSM only. Also make sure that Data roaming is not selected. Run a new scan for network operators while you're in there to refresh your APN settings to the right ones.
In data network mode I only have 2 options "3g only" or "LTE Preferred" I have it on 3g only. I have now unchecked data roaming, but I don't see any place to scan for network operators. I have included a few screenshots here, sorry i don't know how to insert them.. http://tinypic.com/r/2198djn/6 http://tinypic.com/r/24dhfmx/6 http://tinypic.com/r/2zof98w/6
Now it's obvious why you don't have data. Is this the stock Korean ROM? Are you rooted?
I can point you to a decent ROM that will fix all of this, provided you have the patience to fix it. It's relatively easy.
Yes it seems to be the stock Korean ROM. I am rooted using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2 I'm more than willing to flash another rom. I've put about 20 hours into this so far, I imagine I can muster enough patience to finish it
Once they give us a damn Korean Note II section, this kind of information will be a lot easier to find.
Try this ROM for now, it's the one I've been using for a few weeks and I love it.

Thanks a lot the rom (715mb) is downloading now, I have tried to flash ROM's on my old galaxy nexus, and on this note II, but I never succeeded, can you please link me to a good guide, on how to flash this rom? thanks.
Odin is included in the download. If you're using Windows 7 you may or may not have the drivers for the phone, and can grab them out of the All-in-one Toolkit. Just installing the toolkit should install the drivers necessary.

The ROM you're downloading has two files and two pictures, as well. Open the pictures and follow along. All you have to do is click two buttons, select two files, then hit start. It WILL wipe your phone.
I installed that rom you suggested, I went into settings and did GSM only, and had it automatically find my network (china mobile) selected it, rebooted, and still it says i'm roaming so there is no connectivity... any more ideas?
Can you try somebody else's SIM?
There's no reason you should not be getting service unless something is not right with your SIM or phone.
I installed the rom you suggested, i went into settings and made it GSM only, also had it automatically correctly locate my network (china mobile) and it said "registered on network".. but it still isn't working, same problem, it says no connectivity cus i'm roaming.. any ideas now?
my gf will be home from work in a couple hours, I can try her sim card then.. my sim card was cut by me for my old iPhone.. is it possible or likely that the phone can still make and receive calls, but that somehow data connectivity was affected by me cutting the card? also one guy at the phone fixing store tried his sim card (from another company) and internet worked fine he said..

China mobile have various sim plans, from local to province to national. Are you using the sim in the same city in which you bought it? If not and you don't have a national plan, it could be why the phone is showing roaming. In China going from one province to another is already considered roaming unless you have a national plan. This is from my experience back 2 years ago. Also, you best check at a China mobile shop if you have data activated, gprs/edge is not activated by default, you need to ask them to do it.
I would advise you to switch to China unicom as they have 3g/hspa which is much faster than china mobile.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
For clarfication, I am in Hainan, and the card is from hainan. I use the same sim card in my galaxy nexus without any problem. I tried my gf's card just now, it didn't say any problem with connectivity, and did not display roaming.. And it shows the G symbol (for 2 or 3 G I assume), and has up and down arrows next to it.. but it doesn't actually work for browsing the web or using apps over the data network.. I even reset all the APN settings and let it automatically find the China Mobile network, but it didn't help.. what if I try to set the APN settings manualy? and any other ideas??
Showing the G symbol is GPRS, which is 2G. You will not get 3G on the N7100, N7105, or Korean model Note 2 on China Mobile.
Sounds like you need a new SIM card. You can try to set the APN manually to make the data work with hers. I've never had to set an APN manually and I've used many phones here with all 3 carriers, so it's a bit odd to me. No clue why your card doesn't work, but since hers is working fine, it's definitely not your phone.
For the record, her card displayed G, but even after messing with settings, I couldn't get it to have working data network..
Today I bought a new card, and had it officially cut to size, put it in the note II and it's still telling me no data connectivity due to i'm roaming.. i'm so frustrated
edit: after restarting a few times and trying to automatically make it register on china mobile .. it worked on the 4th attempt.. it still displays data roaming, and I had to enable data roaming... but now it works, even though it says i'm roaming?? wtf
Ive the same problem with my Korean galaxy note 2 all voice service work perfect but when I tried to turn on data it says insert Usim Card to access network please help
Hi Everyone.
Stock O2 ICS- rooted - bootloader unlocked
I've recently bought used HTC One V locked to O2. Problem is gsm service never worked for me.
WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS are fine but emergency call only.
I've tried different sim, 2 custom roms, hard reset and no lucky.
Under mobile network setting I cannot swap between WCDMA only - Auto - GSM only, it is sticked to WCDMA/GSM Auto only
When push *#*#4363#*#* Cannot change network mode too, WCDMA preferred fixed only, if going to radio band selection cannot choose any (Automatic, EURO Band etc) just got message "Set [automatic or any] Unsuccessful.
What is weird, When I turn mobile data on with correct APN for my provider (currently giffgaff) I have gprs running and can send and receive data, but with my other phones I had before my service has been alwaysfast as 3G and HSDPA, not "G" like now.
Please see below my screenshots, I've checked my mobile network with many apps and there is what I've found
Ok this may seem a very stupid question but it happened more than once. Are you using the little piece that covers the sim card? That has contacts in it, without it there is no signal

If you still have warranty, run a ruu so it goes back to stock, and take it to the HTC centre. If you are lucky they will recognize it as hardware problem and give you a new one. Remember to tell them it never worked, and if they ask about root or stuff, you don't know about it
No I don't have a warranty (it's second hand and a have no seller contact anymore), otherwise I would not asking here. Looking for somebody who solved this, if.
