[Q] Cannot download apps from the market over the network

Hey I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing an issue where apps will download over Wi-Fi but not over the cellular network. It will start the download but never actually get anywhere an eventually error out. Need to know if I need to go grab a new GN or not!!

That's your cellular network provider at fault if downloads are fine over WiFi.

I'm a sales rep for Telus and every android phone I've set up never has a problem downloading apps over the network...

I was having some issues with the market, but once I flashed the google image instead of the samsung version that came installed, I haven't had a problem.
Now if I could figure out how to get the tmobile market....

I think there was a previous post about this. The answer seemed to be if you have a proxy set up in the APN settings that was preventing it from downloading over the cell network. Not sure what the default APN settings are for Telus so I dunno if there is a proxy or not.

Thanks for the info. I'll try manually doing the APN settings!

Definitely didn't work

Hey, I had the same issue, along with another user.
The fix that worked for both of us is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371995
Basically edit your APN settings so that the "proxy" field is empty instead of populated.
Edit: The person that actually found the fix is jayclapp and he is on Telus, so this should work for you...I'm on mobilicity and it worked for me too.

Thank you so much for linking me to this. I was about to return it tomorrow and buy an Amaze. Now I get to keep my awesome GN =D thank you!

[Q] No data connection in Germany using pre-paid Vodafone SIM at all

Mobile signal is perfectly fine - I can send and receive calls and SMS. I am running G2Slim 1.6. Radio is the latest - 26.13.04.19_M, but I tried several different radios with no result. I have tried every combination of data roaming/only 2g networks allowed/disallowed. I have talked to the reps at the store and they said everything should be correctly activated as far as the SIM goes and data should be working.
It is entirely possible that this is a hardware problem with my phone - I've been having problems with my WiFi that seem to be caused by hardware. However, data works fine in the U.S. Any ideas? What steps can I take to diagnose this?

In the dialer type *#*#4636#*#* check your settings
You also may want to check if the proper apn is set up

Thank you!
I did not know about this menu, although I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. It gives "No Error" for the reason data is disconnected. Network type is set to WCDMA preferred. I tried toggling DNS check, no difference. Although I can't imagine that would matter, phone has to connect to something before it needs to worry about DNS.
As far as APN's - in the normal Mobile networks menu, when I go to Access Point Names, the list is blank. Perhaps this is significant?

That's your problem, need to add the apn you need. You can find this info by googling it and if you find nothing helpfull there are apps on the market that can do most of the wrok for you

T-Mobile UK-OneX-Tethering

I have just started a T-Mobile contract in the UK on the Full Monty plan that gives unlimited data and includes tethering.
The handset used is unbranded and unlocked but I couldnt tether with it for some reason, either via wifi hotspot or USB Tether. The internet on the handset worked fine.
I couldnt call 150 customer service as that dept shut at 10pm so had a play with the apn's.
The three APN's set up as default are all locked and uneditable so my plan was to edit the broadband one in someway.
So, I copied all the settings, set up the APN's as another network, deleted them and added the three default APN's manually.
Once I did this, tethering started to work, with no actual change to any of the settings.
Just a heads up if anyone else comes across this and a fix that worked for me.
Steve

Yep rename apn to consumer broadband, people with many HTC s will known this, glad you figured it out

Many thanks for this post. Would you mind expanding / elaborating on the above steps at all? Not sure how to do this. Have tried creating new APNs with the same settings with no luck. Any pointers much appreciated, thanks.

Yeah - I'd like easier steps too listed please - and thanks for sharing!

I made a mistake in my original post.
Seems that what was happening is that I was using the T-mobile Orange signal and not been able to tether. After messing with the APN's the phone went back to T-Mobile and so started to work. Nothing to do with the messing with the APN's
But, what does seem to work, is to re-create the APN's as they were, but on the first entry, change APN type from 'default,hipri' to 'default,hipri,dun'
That works on T-Mobile and when roaming onto Orange it seems
To do this, copy the info from all three APN's and then with the APN screen open, select menu and then 'reset to default'
This deletes the APN's and then gives you the choice of carrier to use. I used Virgin I think (doesnt matter which you use) but once the new APN(s) are there, just delete them. Then, menu and add APN.
Set up each of the APN's as they were before, except the above change (adding dun to the Apn type)

Smashing thanks. Tethering working fine now on T-Mo only, will try the solution you suggest for T-Mo/Orange when I get a chance. Much appreciated!

I don't have any problems tethering whilst on Orange on Android handsets. I'm not on Full Monty though, if that makes any difference. It is impossible to tether on an iPhone whilst on T-MobileOrange though. The hotspot option is just greyed out. As soon as you switch back to TMobile you get the option to switch it on again. Orange 3G is utter crap anyway. Unfortunately I pretty much roam onto it whether I like it or not at my new address.

as usual i'm stumbling at the first block...
'copy the info from all three APN's'...
when i click on any of them all the settings are greyed out, i wonder what i'm doing wrong?
edit:
sussed and working fine now

Just about to do this.
Out of curiosity what is the Broadband APN for??
Is it a tethering only APN? e.g. Now tethering is removed from NEW Full Monty contract connections (of which i have one) If i tether, thus using that APN, will they be able to see that and have a go.
Or now tethering is removed will that APN not work?

I reckon tethering will work…. but will get charged…. and its likely to be expensive.
Seems a strange decision on TMO's part TBH, as they share part of the backhaul with 3 UK you would think that they could cope with extra bandwidth needed.
I assume the broadband APN is for tethering but as I say, if used then it will be billed. Just cos the handset/set up can do it, doesnt meant it wont go past the billing systems.

Download APN Backup/Restore. i have the same phone with the same problem. Once you have downloaded the app, open it. there is a button that says delete APN's. hit it. now you can access and create a new APN. the problem is that the origanal APN's are so out of date, it causes the program to crash.

Compatible Data Carriers in Canada

So I just got the phone yesterday, and I noticed that data on it didn't work, but calling and texting did. My data plan is under Rogers, so I went to a Rogers Wireless store, and they couldn't make data work, as it apparently couldn't connect to their APN. I was wondering if this was a software issue, where it wouldn't accept an APN from any service provider, or if the phone just doesn't work with Roger's data specifically?
Also, if anyone in BC has gotten the data working on their Red Magic 5G, how did you do that, and what's your service provider?

Try again. Im on Videotron in Quebec, took me several tries to finally to get to save the apn. Roaming data for Videotron is on Rogers network. Tested and working in Ontario.
Although, carriers in BC might use other lte bands. ?

Working without any hassle or need to setup the APN configuration with Public Mobile on their LTE network.
There were some mentioning the APN setup page isn't clear, especially is you're using dark mode.
Rogers APN settings should be readily available so you can edit/input yourself.

You need to use an app called MyNewAPN to add the APN settings. For whatever reason you can't do it through the APN menu.

MyNewAPN? I can't find an app of that exact name in the google play store. Could you link me to a page where I can download it?

Never mind, I just used a seperate app to put in the APN, and it works now! Thanks for the suggestion!
