Can someone tell me the settings please and how you create a new connection on an android phone, Galaxy S.

haz_pro · 9th January 2011, 16:04

You tried the o2 forum mate? I used to find the settings for my old phones on there if I was having problems!

Mochachino · 9th January 2011, 16:54

I tried the o2 site for the text to recive settings, but I havnt had a reply lol.

Il try the forum now. I found some settings on another forum but cant work out where to create the profile for them. Also cant find the email I had from the customer services when I first got the phone with all the details

Done that twice and got nothing back

I cant get 3g now for some reason, I updated my phone earlier and now I cant get 3 g, no matter where I am and therefore internet wont work. Fuck.

Might have to manually enter the settings if the cheeky sods arent sending you them. Bit of a clart on but it might solve your problem fingers crossed.

haz_pro · 10th January 2011, 00:13

The problem may be that its not an iphone?
lol iJoke.

Just phoned o2 and they couldnt help suggested the things I already tried, so they put me through to samsung

they said factory reset, which ive done now and it dosent look like im getting 3G still!

Will have to take it to the o2 shop now for them to send it away this takes the piss!

Dont update to 2.2.1 Android

Mochachino · 10th January 2011, 11:36

will rooting this possibly sort it out?

haz_pro · 10th January 2011, 12:07

Could do, but it may be a hardware issue :-\, i hope not for your sake as phone repair is a notoriously bad and slow process!

MunkyBoy · 10th January 2011, 12:11

Won't be hardware if its after a software update.

These are the settings for manually adding an access point:

Homepage: http://mobile.o2.co.uk/
Access point: mobile.o2.co.uk
Username: mobileweb
Password: password
Session type: Continuous / permanent
Authentication: Normal
Security: Off

Email servers (POP): mail.o2.co.uk
Email servers (SMTP): smtp.o2.co.uk
DNS Servers: 193.113.200.200 and 193.113.200.201

I dont think its a hardware problem either as it happened immediatly after the update

Id roll it back if I knew how to 2.2 but I dont lol

Is rooting like another operating system?

Also thinking, that the 3G symbol dosent appear at all anymore and even if I had the correct settings it wouldnt be able to do anything without it being 3G on my phone. I guess a faulty driver or something for the 3G

Ah okay, i should have read better! Just sounds more like a hardware issue, as shouldnt thi shappen to everyone with the galaxy. You could try routing it, i think its like having a completely different rom on the device, i could be wrong though as i dont own a android phone, just been programming for it at uni!

MunkyBoy · 10th January 2011, 14:41

Rooting is gaining admin access to the files on your device, not what you need.

What you need to do is find a stock 2.2 rom and reflash the device to go to this, then see if you have the same issue,

Thinking back mate, it may be hardware, and just a coincidence.

My old iphone i updated, and then it broke literally just after, so maybe it is a hardware issue. As said try and find a fresh android install and see what happens.

go to xda forum have a chat with them mate

Possible, but hardly anyone has this 2.2.1 update after a google search. I updated using Kies (Samsungs Computer program), so guess its a very recent update.
