Hey,

I just installed WP7, it's all running very smooth but my Wifi doesn't find any networks and I don't know how to set my APN settings.

I read other posts saying go to settins->mobile network and then edit apn. But I only see Add apn which asks for a username and a password?

Help would be appreciated.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Are you T mobile? All I did was put the carriers name. I have T mobile so i put "T-Mobile US" and left the rest blank. Worked for me.

Wifi doesn't see any networks at all? Odd.

Wifi's working well enough for me. I did notice some pretty weird stuff, though:

• It seems to be impossible to find out your wifi MAC address from within WP7 - I had to browse through my router's logs for it.
• Once I found it, though, I soon realized that it was actually useless to know in the first place, since the MAC address seems to change every boot with this ROM (forget about restricting access to your network based on MAC).
• While modifying router settings to get the phone to connect, WP7 also froze on me a few times.
• WP7 will not connect at all with networks with a hidden SSID.

It would seem there's still some room for improvement on the wifi front.

Prepaid T-Mobile service

I believe the problem with the settings are not for the regular T-Mobile service, but for the Prepaid T-Mobile service (SimpleMobile), there is no place configure the APN with all the necessary settings like: Proxy, Port, MMSC, MMS proxy, MCC, MNC, etc.

If anyone finds a way to setup this values on HD2WP7 please post here.

Thank you in advance

Load the attached connection setup xap and run it, it will automatically apply your carrier settings for 3G and mms. Worked perfect for me (TMoUSA)

When go to settings > celuar, click on automatic, then press manual. When you have done that you see a button sais APN. Click on it and put this in (Vodafone)

APN: live.vodafone.com
user: vodafone
pass: vodafone

All done, now It works (for me anyway). Wifi sucks on some SD cards, don't know wich ones.

Also there is somwhere here a APN list for alot of country's and providers. Search google XDA APN settings or so.

I can't configure the apn settings, and the HTC Connection Setup show me this message: "the carrier doesn't exist in database. Please contact your carrier for connection setting and go to Setting>Cellular>edit APN for further configuration"...
Is there a way add my carrier the the database of the connection setup?

Any luck with the WIFI issue?
I've tried the above mentioned solution by removing the SD C & reboot again but i didn't work for me.
