Data problems with Android on Diam500

Are you looking for an argument?!

lol no i just was confused...thought i had pretty much said to flash stock but i get what you r saying. if he flashes stock he could copy the radio registry and prl to the android rom though couldnt he?

i think any time you flash stock you have to reunlock before you can flash again...or is that what you did?

ok well good news is that i got the boot problem settled...

but i stil have no working data

i am using the 2/17 build and i have the stock rom loaded, and even relocked,

i did the whole apn trick but it didnt work

any more ideas guys? am i the only one with this problem?

to get working data under android you need to create an apn with the name "Internet" and APN "Android" both without quotes of course

Have you tried contacting someone from your carrier?
If you are paying for a data plan they are required to help you get it working.
I would do some searching on google if I were you to try to find other users that have your carrier.
You could always setup everything manually using QPST but that can be dangerous and I would only do that as a last resort. Give your carrier tech support a call.

thanks again for the help guys

and yes u do hav to unlock before flashing another rom,

i have already created that apn with that name and address, stil no luck there

i am actually very familiar with qpst, what information do i need? jus everything that will fill the blanks on the apn settings?

if i do call the carrier, what do i ask?

Did you add a new APN while in Android? If nt then add an APN under Settings/Wireless&Networks/Mobile Networks/APN. press the "Home" button to access the settings. Add a new APN with the "Name" as Android and "APN" as internet. Soft reset and it should work for you now.

Yes i have tried that already but it jus does nothing, says it has a connection but does not i really need some sort of help here

would loading the fearless rom help any?

i'm in the same situation, i don't think it's anything you're doing wrong. i have a diam500 on metropcs and can't get data either. does your carrier need a proxy? that seems to be the common denominator for us who can't get data working on android 2.0.1. it looks like some users who couldn't get data working on 2.0.1 have gotten to work with 2.1, but it was unusably slow on my diam500. hopefully whatever they did for 2.1 can be worked on for 2.0.1.

one more thing, right after the boot says A N D R O I D, before the splash, it displays a message that says something about disabling modem, is this relevant?
