Nokia :: N97 - Tmobile SIM Will Not Allow 3g Connection To ATT Towers
Feb 13, 2010
My N97 has US AT&T 3g radio frequencies. I have a T-mobile sim card with unlimited data and an AT&T card with very limited data.With an AT&T sim card the N97 talks to the AT&T USA towers at "3.5G" speeds no problem. Beauty!But when I put my T-mobile sim card in it it will only connect to T-mobile towers. It sees that there is a T-mobile tower and an ATT tower no problem but it will only talk to the tmo tower.
If there is no T-mo tower it will connect to the ATT tower but it will not be at 3G just edge.I have tried to enter the apn settings manually but i am tripping up somewhere.Called T-mo and tier 3 tech support said that she could see no reason why it should not work. I pressed to find out if T-mo provisioned their sims to work at 3G soeeds ONLY on t-mo towers but she said that that was not the case.
N97 user manual mentions apn alterations being contingent on a PIN2 number coming off the sim card, but that did not sound tright to t-mo support.
Am i missing a very obvious thing like a switch called "turn on data roaming" ? My Nexus1 has that.

I have used a Mio Mitac which had a GPS based on SirfStartIII chipset. The point is this is a true GPS that shall work even if I am not on any carrier / have not inserted any SIM card. With such a GPS there are no data charges.Want to know if the GPS on 9530 fixes its location via GPS satellites or with data connection / network towers.

I have a strange issue that I've never seen before, nor can I find examples of it here in the forum. I use the hotspot feature on my DROID 4 LTE quite a bit. Unfortunately, it's not very useful when I'm on the road or on a train. Whenever the phone hops to a new tower, the data stream dies. The wifi portion of the hotspot stays active -- it's just that all data stops flowing. I spoke with VZW Level 2 and they had me pull the SIM so they could do a "network reset". Took it out for a test drive and no go. As soon as I drive far enough to hop to a new tower, all data stops flowing through the hotspot.

Spoken to T-mobile and they sent me the settings as they should be. I have saved them and tried again. But picture of video parts of messages aren't going through, only the text parts arrive. I can go to the phone settings and see the data being sent, and it is always the correct amount. But the multimedia bits don't get there. Yet I can send them to myself. The people I send to, can send and receive multimedia just fine to other people. Could someone on T-mobile post all their settings please?

So got the Tmobile 810. Have been using unlocked Nokia phones (Symbian) till now and use JoikuSpot to share internet on as needed basis. Not very often, but good to know it is there when needed.
Now when select Internet Sharing to ON, asks if want to activate that feature in my plan. Is there anyway to bypass this or to get another app to do this .. like JoikuSpot ?

I've recently bought a Nokia 5800 xm and have been able to connect it to my home internet using the wlan wifi.
I can only use the wifi if i go to settings>connectivity>wlan. If i go straight to internet, it tries to connect to t-mobile internet. This also happens when trying to use applications such as bbc iplayer and the ovi store.
Is there a way of setting the wifi connection as the default connection? If not, is there a way of setting up my applications so they connect using wifi?

I just received my 808 replaced by Nokia for the 3G bug issue. Now I have been noticing that annoying Connection Failed connection unavailable message every few seconds. Turned the positioning methods OFF and the frequency of the error message goes away but it still pops up every few minutes. I did a hard reset, removed the memory card where most of my apps are installed and it still gives me that same error. Ordered a new SIM to see if that makes any difference - none - Still same error message. That message is so annoying. Anyone have any other ideas that I could try ? Privacy mode is OFF also.

Ok I have a 808 bought it as a camera after it updated it, I get this unacceptable repeated popup"Connection Failed Connection Unavailable".Its like every 30 seconds.Its total black background message occupies valuable screen real estate at the top of the screen and repeatedly hinders normal usage of the device, causing especially unpleasant experience when capturing pictures or video.How do nokia users like me go about disabling this message and continue enjoying the experience of the brand we choose to trust?

Any thoughts on whether its worth the extra money to buy the 3G versus 2G when I am only using it for the phone and apps? There difference is about $200 for an unlocked 2G versus $330 for a 3G. I also have several apps programs that I used on my ipod touch that I will use on the iphone.

I have just recently purchased an HTC HD2 from Tmobile USA and got it unlocked to use it on Wind Mobile here in Canada. So far the phone is great but was wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of the Tmobile garbage that is on the phone. I would like to set my music as ringtones, set Wind Mobile as an APN to use data and tether, etc, etc. I dont want a phone that will be similar to the garbage phones Canadians get all the time here.

I have been waiting for the hand held software 5.0 to be released for about 3 months now. Every other company is way ahead and already moving onto the next software update. The other versions for my 8520 from other carriers do not show up on the application loader, even after completing every step. T-mobile needs to step its game up.

Perhaps I'm just not using the right search keywords, but all the instructions I find aren't working. Mostly because my phone doesn't seem to have the same lines that everyone else is listing.
For example, I typically see this -
Profile1 Info
1. Profile Name: T-Mobile GPRS
2. GPRS Setting:
+1. Gateway:
+++1. IP address: 216.155.165.50
+++2. IP port: 9201
+2. APN: wap.voicestream.com
+3. Login ID: anonymous
+4. Password:
+5. APN: wap.voicestream.com
3. Homepage URL: http://wap.myvoicestream.com/
For MMS, I have these from my E635 as well.
MMS Settings
1. Profile Name: T-Mobile USA MMS
2. Server URL: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
3. GSM Setting: (leave blank as mine was)
4. GPRS Setting:
+1. Gateway:
+++1. IP address: 216.155.165.50
+++2. IP port: 9201
+2. APN: wap.voicestream.com
5. Bearer: GPRS only
Then, trying to follow another's step-by-step instructions, I'm still having trouble following along. Here's my step-by-step to the point that I get lost. Open Menu, tap Settings, tap Messaging, scroll down to Messaging Settings, tap Multimedia Message, tap MMS Profiles... and this is where it gets confusing for me. Whether I try to edit one of the preset profiles, or add my own, these are the lines I'm offered to work with:
editing the MEdia Net profile -
Set Name
Access Name
Auth Type
User ID
Password (user ID and PW aren't able to be edited in this profile)
Protocol (either HTTP or WAP)
Home URL
Proxy Address
Linger Time (sec.)
Advanced Settings
And in the Adv Settings, I have -
Static IP (to check, or unckeck, a box)
Local Phone IP (not highlighted, ie, able to be edited)
Static DNS (to check, or uncheck, a box)
Server 1
Server 2 (neither server lines are able to be edited in this profile)
Traffic Class (down arrow sellection, with Subscribed as the only selection available)
And in adding a new profile, everything that was previously unable to be edited, can now be: User ID, Password, Static IP #, and Servers 1 & 2 #'s. I've tried every combination of URLs that I could find:
Home URL - http://216.155.174.84/servelts/mms
Homepage URL - Homepage URL: http://wap.myvoicestream.com
Along with every combination of IP #s that I could find:
216.155.165.50
10.168.200.50
And I'm striking out everywhere. I'm hoping someone understands the babble I've typed in here, and can make sense enough of this to be able to help me. I don't care about getting on the internet with the phone (no data plan), but I just want to be able to send/receive pics and videos.

I purchased an unlocked 4s to use with my T-Mobile SIM. I had previously been using a 3GS on T-Mobile. Since the update to version 5, apple has removed the settings toggle to disable the 3G radio. This causes a strange issue when 3G is forced to be on, after every call, the radio resets its self, dropping to 1 bar and searching before reconnecting. On version 5.0.1 I was able to jailbreak the phone and install a second party toggle to disable the 3G radio, this restored the normal operation of the phone on the T-Mobile network. But since upgrading to 5.1, I am unable to install this toggle, and it has made the phone really annoying to use. Why has apple removed this toggle? Have they moved it or is there another way to disable it?

iPhone 4S
