[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMW597:
For those of you that are using the true unbranded/unlocked Galaxy S from the UK here in the states, here are the MMS/Internet settings.

Go to Settings/Wireless and network/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names

Hit the menu button, then "new APN". The settings are as follows:

Name: AT&T (or whatever name you like)

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: leave blank (Will read: <not set>)

Port: leave blank (Will read: <not set>)

User name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM (Not sure if it's case sensitive, but I left it all capital letters)

Password: CINGULAR1 (Not sure if it's case sensitive, but I left it all capital letters)

Sever: leave blank (Will read: <not set>)

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: none

APN type: internet+mms

I initially started researching this after I wasn't able to send or receive MMS. I could send regular text messages just fine though. I read posts all over the place and none of them were really defnitive in regards to the Galaxy S' settings. I tried some configurations that would allow me to send and receive MMS, but then the Internet wouldn't work. In other cases I would get the Internet but no MMS.

So after putting it all together, and trying a bunch of different configurations, the above is what I've confirmed as working. Just wanted to share so others don't have to spend the time I did.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trinikartel:
Maybe double post (if so i'm sorry)

Thanks for the settings. Just got mine today and it seemed to automatically get the settings. Compared to yours and this is what mine has (works for edge and mms)

Name: AT&T 310 410 (or whatever name you like)

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: <not set>

Port: <not set>

User name: <not set>

Password: <not set>

Sever: <not set>

MMSC: same as noted (new user restrictions)

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: none

APN type: internet+mms

Are you getting 3G on yours? Haven't been able to get 3G access yet here in Orlando. I understand that i'll only be able to get it in 1900 areas though (not sure if here is one). Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMW597:
Yes I do get 3G on mine. My display pretty much constantly has an "H" near the signal indicator. I'm assuming that's for HSPDA.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMW597:
Have you tested by sending a MMS to yourself?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trinikartel:
hmm....let me try that next, but i did receive a few earlier today (dunno if that makes a difference). Just did my first battery drain so i'm letting it heal while i read up some more. As my first android device, i'm loving it!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMW597:
I just noticed that I'm still kinda' hit and miss with receiving MMS. A friend of mine just tried to send me a short video from Verizon and it just says "downloading". It will probably remain like that for a while.

This MMS thing is getting frustrated. I also noticed this morning that I couldn't send an MMS to my friend that is on AT&T also. I knew I just sent an MMS earlier though and it worked. I sent one to myself and it worked. So what I did was look at the "To" field. I noticed that the one that worked had "1+" in front of the area code then number. One more frickin' thing to figure out!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trinikartel:
@BuddyLee Thanks for the map. It looks like they have the 850/1900 combined into one color so I can't really differentiate if i'm only getting 850 here.

@TMW597 so i forced the phone to only connect using 3G..sure enough it came up. With the "H" as well but i get 1 measly bar of it so i must be on the outskirts of that 1900 broadcast. time to take a drive and see how it fares.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMW597:
Glad to hear it! One bar is still 3G baby!!!

Cool app by the way. http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.sensorly.viewer
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trinikartel:
:eek: I probably shouldn't have darted out the door as soon as i finished typing my last post.

Found out that there's 1900 broadcasting to my NE only:D..went there and was brimming with 3G. http://twitpic.com/249wau (i should probably get a screenshot app)

of course this pic is after i got home and relegated back to edge and wifi thus the icon
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMW597:
On your Speed Test app, go to the settings tab at the top and change your display to display speeds in Mbps.

I use this for my screen grab app. You just shake the phone to capture the screen. I only turn it on when I need to use it though. I don't leave it on all of the time.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] pboy:
Thanks for posting this information! What type of data plan do you have on your at&t account?

I have the old mediamax 200 plan and I was wondering if I could get a Captivate from at&t and change the settings accordingly without changing my data plan.

Anyone with any helpful info please feel free to respond. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ggravier:
Hi. TMW597. The "H" means you are on your "Home" network. If you were roaming, you would get a "R" for "Roaming".

(who can't send MMS either from his phone)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMW597:
Ahhhhhhh. Good to know!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] inurb:
Actually the 'H' to the left of your signal strength bars is for HSDPA not home. It designates that you are on 3.5G, if you were on UMTS you would see 3G instead of the letter H.

Completely wrong on an Android phone; might have been that way on older analog phones, but I've never seen that method on a GSM/3G phone in the last ten years.

APN settings problem

Why is that, after I went to

no "NEW APN" button is there. It displays only "NO ITEMS" and no other options.

Please help..

[FIXED] sorry to bother you. ^_^
[Android Apps and Games] jmorgan6:
I play blackjack quite a bit, and I looked for an app that was just a strategy card. When I am walking from a table in a casino to another, and want to know if my play on that A4 vs dealer upcard 2 was correct.. I don't want to open a blackjack game, then goto options and view the card.. I want to quickly/easily view the strategy card, since I only have a few seconds while walking to another blackjack table.

First app in java or android sdk. The goal is really to just display the strategy card, I plan to add the ability to select a different strategy card as the 'default', but the basic design will remain the same.. to give quick/easy access to the card.

It's really not much more than a hello image app, but it is something I didn't see anything else accomplishing.. and a good way to get started with the android sdk.

I will be uploading a newer version to lock portrait mode, since landscape isn't very nice.

Check it out, 'BlackJack Strategy Card' author jmorgan under games.
[Android Apps and Games] Slipdisc2:
I'm pretty sure that would be classified as a "device" and very illegal in casinos.

Even with the best intentions, you might have a hard time explaining that one.
[Android Apps and Games] Alejandro001:
The primary aim of the blackjack game is to beat the dealer. Regular players usually use a strategy card which will help them in winning at casino blackjack. Blackjack strategy card increases the chances of beating the blackjack dealer. Newbie’s may find it little confusing at starting but practice makes you perfect. But ensure that the blackjack strategy card will not make you win the game but it will only guide you.

My brother lost his ATT Tilt about 5 months ago. He did insurance claim and got new phone, snice then has upgrade to another. But we found his old phone when moving him out. Is the phone ATT blacklisted or will it still work? Batteries missing so we haven't tried it.
[HD2 General] abentkov:
New HTC owner here. I find the call volume very low and often have to either press hard on the ear or find a spot on the ear that has the most volume. Its about 30% less then my lasy pos motorola. Is there any fix to crank up the volume? I have it set on the highest.
[HD2 General] se1988:
For me its the opposite, if I turn the volume to the maximum, i have to hold the phone a few centimetres away from my ear...

I assume you have tried the volume button on the side when in a call?
[HD2 General] abentkov:
Yeah, i've read some threads about volume being too loud. I tried the side button too but its way too low even at a highest level
[HD2 General] leepriestenator:
It sounds weird, but Radios play an important role in all of this. Try a different radio and see if the volume goes up.
[HD2 General] pakure:
press the volume buttons "during" a call....this volume is different from the volume in regular standby use..........hope it helps
[Captivate General] jhulst:
Hi All,

I'm looking at getting the Captivate as my first Android phone. I noticed that it doesn't have a D-Pad like the original Galaxy S or a trackball. Is that going to be a problem? Is Android still usable without it?

Thanks for the help,

Josh
[Captivate General] tysj:
The Galaxy S does not have an optical d pad/track pad. It is just a big square button :P
[Captivate General] ryukent:
Swype an and samsung keyboard have directional buttons. No real need for physical ones I can see so far.
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
emulators?
[Captivate General] magicdanw:
With the 4 inch screen, I suspect emulators and other games requiring a D-Pad could fit a virtual one at the bottom of the screen. Perhaps a virtual trackpad would work too? A little circle that you swipe your finger over and it acts like an optical trackpad?
[Captivate General] m_1000rr6:
For the short while that I had an EVO 4G, I never did think about a D-pad. Before the EVO I had a Samsung Epix and I used the optical pad as D-pad and I was very used to using it in that configuration. The EVO was my first android phone and all of the menus are easily accessible with finger swipes and touches. I did not miss the D-pad at all.

I'll definitely pick up the Captivate. The android experience is so much better than wm6.x.

[Captivate General] oldarney:
Some ROMs don't have dpad enabled keyboards, the TrueDvorak Pro keyboard has a nice gesture based dpad. Multilingual keyboard also has a press and hold to access dpad option, like the samsung one.
[Captivate General] Reamer09:
What press-n-hold Samsung d-pad? I hate the Samsung keyboard but I do need a d-pad sometimes and I don't want to install a third party keyboard (I usually install Full Keyboard though, it has one).
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
What does that have to do with the Captivate and why did you resurrect an almost year old thread to say it?:confused:
[Captivate General] BenKranged:
Welcome to pretty much all samsung android phones. If you need a d-pad or trackball look elsewhere.

Though most high end HTC, LG and Motos dont have them either.

Hi

Ive had my galaxy S for just over a week now and absolutely love it i have had no issues with it , the battery is lasting 2 days with reasonable use , the gps is superb i have navigon installed and have got satelite lock within 30 secs of initiating the program and it works flawlessly .

My previous phone was a htc HD2 and this is just light years ahead in useability and performance , i have installed a few apps loike the F1 pocket app and all have worked as stated .

Really happy considering this is my first samsung !!!!!!!!
[HD2 General] 4theU:
My phone wont charge through USB. It charges using the same cable plugged into a wall adapter, and charges just fine with my wall adapter and car charger, it just wont charge when plugged into a computer.

As for some basic troubleshooting steps-

1) The phone is recognized and syncs on both PCs

2) Hasnt worked from day 1, Factory ROM, Hard Reset, and now with a flashed ROM

3) Uninstalled and reinstalled ActiveSync etc

4) When it connects to a PC it prompts what I would like to do (PC and Phone) Ive tried every option and the results are the same.

I'm out of ideas, and since Ive searched Im not sure if Im an idiot for expecting this thing to charge, or if my phone is defective. I figured I'd ask here before calling T-Mobile since I hate calling Customer Service for anything.
[HD2 General] Naes:
Go into settings/system/power/battery and there should be a check box that says "When phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to a pc"

make sure that is not checked.
[HD2 General] 4theU:
Thanks, but its not checked.

Ive tried checking it, plugging in, and then unplugging, unchecking, then plugging back in.
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
Switch off your phone, then plug it into the computer. Does the orange charging led show up? If not, you may have a defective phone.

If it charges with a computer usb while switched off and doesn't when switched on, then there is some software problem.
[HD2 General] chadster214:
have you tried plugging it in to a different usb port? or different computer? my guess is could be a bad usb port..
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
not necessarily a bad usb port, some simply don't push enough power to trigger charging. same test applies, though, try all usb ports, don't forget there are likely ports around back too. also test it on another pc if possible.
[HD2 General] 4theU:
I forgot my USB cable at work but this sounds like a good idea I havent tried yet.

My laptops USB ports are fine, I use them all the time for my external hard drive which is also powered by the USB, my zune, wifes iPhone, etc. Not to mention I have the same result with my work computer, which charged my other phones.

I'll try this and post the results, thanks for the helpful responses. After this test, I'm calling T-Mobile and complaining.

[XPERIA X10 General] mackdaddy187:
So after rooting I got the HTC mod keyboard.

Now the problem is that I really like the android keyboard.

The only features that I miss on it are the suggestion of words that I have typed such as email addresses, ethnic names, etc. from the default keyboard. Also the HTC mod keyboard has a voice type button that I love very much.

Is there another keyboard that I can install that will do these 2 things and still look like the android keyboard?

I will happily use the HTC mod keyboard if it could suggest to me the emails and words that I have typed but I can't seem to find the option to enable it.

Help. Thank you.
[XPERIA X10 General] Keegan_P:
In the Locale & Text section of Setttings, you can select the HTC_MOD IME section there. In here, you can find some different keyboard settings like Prediction, including email addresses and urls ( for some reason these aren't automatically enabled ).
[XPERIA X10 General] mackdaddy187:
I have that turned on but it only works for url bars. I wanted it so that I could enter my email address in the different log in screens for websites using one tap. So fat I have succeeded in getting the first half and the second half of the email saved as 2 separate words and i just join them by putting @ in between.

Edit: It also does not save words like "mackdaddy187" in the dictionary since it is not all letters. I use this name for all websites and it is hard trying to enter i one by one in each website.
[XPERIA X10 General] Keegan_P:
Why don't you use Skyfire browser? It has the ability to remembe form information like usernames and passwords.
[XPERIA X10 General] mackdaddy187:

I am tossing around the idea of (attempting) making a ROM for my own use, and to share if people would like. Just something basic; stripping some apps, adding CHT, maybe the newest msging app for Sense, etc... The problem is that I have never done this. lol

So, where do I start. Where do I get the kitchen, the stock ROM to work with, the new msging app, etc?

Can anyone help...?
[HD2 General] AyanamiZer00:
Oh, someone sent me a link to this a while back... I can't remember where though.

It was probably NRGZ28, as I think he got tired of me asking him to make a ROM not laced with neon blue.

I'm still curious about trying this myself, since I'd like to make ROM with zero HTC software, camera/camcorder apps aside. There's some pretty easy looking visual kitchens, but still, I'm lazy, and the Kumar series of ROMs are awesome to the point of me not caring about trying anymore.

[HD2 General] jubeh:
I wanted this as well, but I didn't want a kitchen, that feels like a cheap file-pusher way to me.

I wanted to be able to take an nbh, use command line tools to unpack it, remove/add files (and know what those files are), and the re-pack it and flash it.

I want to know which files are for what, what's the expected file hierarchy, which files/program are really required and why. I basically want to know the whole system from top to bottom.

Eventual goal is to make very light rom that contains no HTC code (except for the necessary to run the hardware) and that looks as close as possible to the stock WinMo that M$ produces.

I tried searching online for that, but alas, all I could find were kitchens.

I'm sorry, I'm not that dumb, I want to do it all from scratch...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the kitchens are front ends to the command line software. Get a kitchen, look in its tools folder, and there are your command line tools.

You know there are several thousand files associated with even the lightest rom, right? doing it all manually will take you an age,.(my current roms kitchen has 30,000 files in it, and its already pretty light, 140meg nbh size.)

Even if you dont end up using a kitchen, having one that you can browse the folders of will help you understand the EXT, OEM, SYS packages etc etc.
[HD2 General] mikentucson:
