Hi all,

I've been having problems connecting to the internet now for a few weeks. Only one in 10 connections at best. 'Locating', 'Page Not Found' errors, no email.

I've read some of the posts on here about HSPDA, so I called T-Mobile to enable it, but they said that my price plan would have to increase. I think I'm on one of the lowest, but I didn't know there was extra costs for 'Walk 'n' Web'.

We went through some changes, but it didn't make my difference to my connections.

Has anyone any advice about either connections, or the HSPDA price plan issue? Are you paying the 'normal' price plan but are able to connect to HSPDA?

Thanks guys,

Ratzz

Ratzz,

Your not alone here, i have recently moved to T-Mobile and for the first week all was fine, both gprs and HSDPA were working fine, the later being very quick indeed for a mobile device.

This week has been a different story all together, since saturday morning my internet access has been very patchy, the same 'Locating', 'Page Not Found' errors that you are seeing. I can't offer any explanation, just sympathy and would love to get to the bottom of it myself.

Here's hoping.

For the past 3 weeks I have been using my Vario II as a usb modem and had no problems at all HSDPA working great as for price plan I have the basic web n walk, it is pot luck who you speak to at CS but keep calling and you will get HSDPA enabled once spoke to the right person, ask to be put through to technical.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thefunkygibbon:
is HSDPA the same as 3g or different? i'm on vodafone, will i need to get them to "turn hsdpa on" or is it on by default?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SimonTALM:
Check out the hermes forum over at www.modaco.com there is some indication this this is caused by a the T-Mobile DNS and T-Mobile transparent proxy servers being able to cope with the demand.

I had the same problem and have pretty much eliminated the delays by changing the DNS servers from being server assigned to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 as many on modaco have done.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ratzz:
Tried that Simon ... same problems.

There is a link below which I found on a thread that worked ok for someone -- but again this didn't work for me.

http://www.manuals.t-mobile.co.uk/maillink.asp?a=3&wm=1a1677a401690a128256
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] scifi:
ok, i seem to have found a combination that works for me at least.

I followed the steps on the MoDaCo thread above but used the following addresses.

DNS : 158.43.240.4

Alt DNS : 62.241.160.200

In the proxy settings, tick both "This network connects to the Internet" & This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" and then click advanced. Tap the HTTP (type) and enter 149.254.201.132 port 8080 and click ok. This works great for me both on gsm (gprs) & HSDPA (UMTS).

Hope this works for you guys too.

Regards.

HSDPA

Hi

I use my Vario II on the train with a laptop over bluetooth everyday between stirling and edinburgh. The coverage is mostly 3G (Linlithgow being the exception), and I get one black-spot just south of linlithgow.

The situation with the original t-mob rom was dire. I am now using the test AKU3.3 rom with radio 1.27 and its much better. Bluetooth PAN seems more reliable than the old dial-up networking.

On my laptop, I have changed the DNS settings for the PAN to non t-mob ones. I was having the same issues everyone else reports with failed resolutions.

Some days it works superbly, some days, its sh1te. This is imho, simply issues at t-mobile. I travel at the same times on each day, so I dont see that the proxy can be loaded more so one day than the next.

I also find that with HSDPA switched off, things are far more reliable than with it on. Having said that, some days I get a good HSDPA connection all the way.

What I could do with is a cacheing DNS server running locally on the laptop that will override the TTL (time to live) for the domains that it caches. I would have installed bind, but its a beast (I use it at home)... Anyone know of a mini DNS server that would suit my needs? Currently I have the sites that I use regularly shoved in a hosts file!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] paulrockliffe:
I'm having exactly the same problem, had put it down to a problem with my radio ROM, but from reading this thread it looks like a t-mobile problem, so hopefully it will sort itself in due course. In the mean time I'll have a look at changing those settings................cheers.

Hi

I use USB instead of bluetooth where convenient from a laptop. Would you care to do a test @ http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html from your laptop while on HSDPA via USB ???

I get about 550K down and 330K up which although pretty good is way off the headline figures! Wondered if my tests were about the same as yours?

HSDPA

Hi all,

Following on from my original message, I called T-Mobile today and insisted they enable HSDPA on my line for the ongoing internet problems.

They did it (I'm on the BASIC W&W), and within 10 minutes all my problems were solved.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SimonTALM:
Excellent news - Let's just hope it stays that way. If not give the DNS server settings a try.

BTW what sort of download speeds are you getting? I use http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1 and I tend to get a pretty constant 650kbps down and 350kbps up.

I have heard people getting in 750kbps upto over 1Mbps but not something I've ever managed and definately have HSPDA enabled on the phone and network.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] alunj:
enabling hsdpa seems to have fixed all my problems too.

If I remember correctly I have the option to add Capped Data Rate at no extra cost but it isn't applied to my account. I haven't applied it as I don't like the sound of somthing that is "Capped" - I'd love to find out what it is.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFCZULU:
Hi guys I really need your help, I'm not Tec savy by a long shot but I got a SEA G3 four weeks ago in the UK. I had 4G for the 1st week but then it stopped. I tried the hidden menu, the RAT SELECTION method and downloaded 4g switcher. After this I changed my sim, but no go. The people I brought it off then emailed me how to change the APN (I'm on tesco (O2)). No go so I sent it back for a replacement. Yesterday I got a DEU version with 10 EUR XX but no 4g so brought a PAYG sim from O2 , tried all the above to no avail. Today they have delivered (by mistake anther phone! So I have two :p, this is. TWN but I can not get 4g on both. They are all D855 and my brother brought one the same time as me and his 4g works fine.....it's driving me insane pleeeease help
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
It is probably issue with your carrier or sim card.

When you put some other sim card in those phones, do you 4g?

You have 4g included in your data?

Have you tried your sim card in your brothers phone to see will you have?

I bet it is carrier/sim card related
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neurom707:
The uk doesnt have that good 4g coverage yet and especially in tesco/02 and have you chrcked 4g coverage in your area seems unlikely its a phone issue after 3 drvices
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFCZULU:
Thanks guys

Thanks for taking the time out to answer me...it's really appreciated, I definatly live in a 4G area as I live in central London , and I denfinatly have a 4g plan as that's what Plan I took and it says on the SIM card and I had it for the 1st week on the 1st phone. My bro is coming over tomorrow and he brought the same phone from the same company (on my recommendation ), but his with a different provider ,but on the same 800 band...so I'll let you know what happens when we change sims in our phones!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z0phi3l:
Why not just get a UK version instead of all this unnecessary hassle?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFCZULU:
It is a SIM issues...I get 4g on my brothers SIM and if I use his wife's Tesco SIM I get 4g as well...bloodly Tesco! I had a new from them as I thought it might be the problem , so they must have me blocked some how:mad:

Hey everyone,

I need some help. Since the Gmail app updated to the "Material Design" look, I've had an annoyance when trying to switch between my email accounts. In order to quickly switch, you can tap on the icon for the email address you wish to switch to. The problem is, two of my accounts are using the default Gmail silhouette, so I can't tell which one is which from the menu:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwgHw8RSjQikR0pfYWUyWXhxeFE/view?usp=sharing

For all three of my accounts, I have uploaded a profile picture via the general tab in Gmail settings in the browser. My personal Gmail shows my picture, no problem, but for some reason the other two don't come through. I'm not sure if it matters, but both are Google Apps for Work accounts . Also, I'm not sure if it has to do something with the sync settings, but I have them set up to sync email and app data.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks,

MMS (pic messages) is data dependent. Even if on WiFi, MMS will use data
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayRokk:
You HAVE to have data on to do anything MMS related. Unless you're using an instant message client like WhatsApp you REQUIRE to have data on.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nednednerb:
Actually, in part MMS send and receive configuration is dependent on carrier configurations and not only device or ROM settings.

Somehow, I think data switching for MMS is okay when data is off and other times it is broken. Some kind of receiver or meta-info with the mms transmit.

Textra app on playstore used to have "temporarily activate mobile data for mms" in a troubleshooting section. I don't see it in the current new version for Lollipop, maybe soon though.

Some phones and ROMs and carriers will turn data on for mms and not tally against plan data usage limits, so data could otherwise be technically off so zero or very low data plans don't overage.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] qubbey:
Hey guys,

I think I'm getting crazy, I tried so many things now, but somehow the internal sdcard is not working on Xperia T with KitKat ROM.

Problem:

When I open the camera app is crashes instantly. Other camera apps say they need an external storage. The gallery says "no external storage"

In the filebrowser I see a lost+found folder but can't open it or do anything (write/read).

In adb shell with su I don't even have the permission to create a folder:

255|root@mint:/ # mkdir /storage/sdcard0/test
mkdir /storage/sdcard0/test
mkdir failed for /storage/sdcard0/test, Permission denied

I tried CM12 M10-M12, an OmniRom and AOKP build. (all KitKat based)

I'm using TWRP 2.7.1.0 first, now 2.8.0.1 (2.8.1.0 does not seem to start). I wipe everything in recovery except the external micro sd card with the ZIPs. Then install the ROM and I tried with and without GAPPs. The boot.img is flashed via fastboot.

I tried erasing partitions via fastboot.

I flased CM10.2 (JB) and I could take a photo.

I have 2 Xperia T (Mint) with unlocked bootloader here to test and I don't get it working. But my sister has one too and I installed her CM11 a few month ago and she doesn't have any problems.

WTF am I doing wrong?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Try to enter the following in terminal:

su
busybox chown -R 2800:2800 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] qubbey:
It works :good: Thank you so much :p

It seems that it works as long as I don't wipe sdcard. Does this mean TWRP is wiping/formating the partition wrong?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
The wiping is correct, the problem is that Sony has decided for some reason to use a different user/group than the one used by default in Android (and most other phones, as far as I know). Given that Android (Linux) is a user/group/permission driven OS, if any of these don't correspond to the action performed, there will be no access.

If you format the sdcard from a custom ROM or recovery, it will use user/group 1023 (media_rw), but the kernel is set to use user 2800, therefore you will lose RW access.

This can be easily fixed by modding the kernel to use the "proper" permissions, or simply correct the user/group with a CHOWN command. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] qubbey:
Is this common knowledge? I didn't find a thing when I was searching for a solution. But I guess it happened to lot of people.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
It is definitely not common knowledge, but anyone compiling a kernel and having tinkered with formatting would have noticed this, as did [MENTION=4812336]updateing[/MENTION] a few months back and was actually the one who confirmed this to me a few months back when I was modding kernels to get Folder Mount to work.

It just takes a bit of troubleshooting to come to this conclusion, but since it's being asked so many times lately, someone should make it a sticky.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] *-MaCK-*:
Hi, I'm having the same problem. After putting in the above, it says: Operation NOT permitted.

What is going wrong?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
You might try running the command without the "-R" first, so you're able to access sdcard0 at all.

If this fails as well, try replacing /mn7/media_rw/sdcard0 with /storage/sdcard0
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
I'd be surprised if that works, given that the proper user/group for /storage/sdcard0 is "root:sdcard_rw", as it is set by default, and not "2800".

[MENTION=5406472]*-MaCK-*[/MENTION]:

Did you type in the "su" command first, on it's own?

Are you in fact rooted?

Does your storage have the proper file system format (ext4)?

You can check the file system format by running the command:

mount
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] *-MaCK-*:
Yes, I'm rooted. And yes, I've typed in the "su"command first.

I think that my storage doesn't have the right format. I think it was vfat?

But now things have changed. After flashing a stock rom, there is only a ejected sdcar0 left. Before i could enter the sdcard0 via device/mnt..... Now, their is no mnt map, and esfile explorer doesn't show anything. It says: "SD card ejected"

It doesn't matter if the data is lost, but i realy like to have access again too the sdcard0 drive!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] *-MaCK-*:
:laugh: It seems like I have fixed it. I managed to install the latest version of TWRP and fixed the format of the sdcard to ext4.

It is formatted and working. Very happy.

After reboot the sdcard0 was visible again. Though, I could not write too it. So I put in the next in the Terminal:

su

busybox chown -R 2800:2800 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

After this, averything was normal again!

Thanx you all!:good::good::good::good:
