nexus one arrived today (uk, with orange sim card) cant get an internet connection!

[Haldo]

as the title read. nexus one arrived today. popped my orange sim in, seemed to recognise it just fine. sent myself a text and got it no probs.

been using the wi-fi in my house to go on the net but when i turn it off and try to use my orange internet it doesnt load pages, says no connection.

HELP please lol

also how do i send pic messages?

 

[Haldo]

and ive installed the update. where the hell is my 3G!

You send MMS's the same way you do SMS's, just insert a picture. Or go to the gallery, find the pic you want and share it via MMS.

As for the Orange settings, not a clue, I am on Voda

I was listening to This week in google on the TWIT network and leo laporte mentioned that for UK you might need to manually adjust the network settings on your phone.

I think what he is referring to is telling your phone which frequencies to use.

Get another smart phone and copy their setting or just call orange for help?

You need to add the orange APN. You need to add one for MMS and one for internet. go to settings -> wireless -> mobile networs -> access point names
Then press menu and new apn, and add the following. Save it and then repeat to add the second one.

MMS Settings
Name: orangemms
APN: orangemms
Proxy: http://192.168.224.10
Port: 8080
Username: Orange
Password: Multimedia
Server: http://mms.orange.co.uk
MMSC: http://mms.orange.co.uk
MMS Proxy: 192.168.224.10
MMS Port: 9201
MCC: 234
MNC: 33
APN type: mms

Orange internet Settings
Name: orange
APN: orangeinternet

Username: <not set>
Password: <not set>
Server: orangeinternet

If GPRS works and 3G doesnt (you never get a 3G symbol) you may have a 2G only sim. This isnt rare on orange!

 

[Haldo]

thanks mate ur a life saver. entered those details and 3g signal popped up in notification bar.

cheers!

 

[Haldo]

can i only select one APN at a time?

meanin if i want to send a pic i need to change APN from orange internet to MMS?

 

[Haldo]

although im gettin 3g its changeing from 3g to just G a lot of the time and its not that fast,

pain in the arse.

It should know which APN is for mms and which is for data, so you should never have to manually select. Send a test to check it's working though.

 

[kam187]

Select the 'internet settings' one so it has the green dot. It'll automatically use the MMS one for mms's.

The switching to G is because of poor coverage or that bug before the update. Did you get the update yet?

 

[theartfullodger]

I had the same problem yesterday (when 'phone arrived..) on "3" (PAYG to try it..).. couldn't work out what the problem was... in the end drove off to sit under the 'phone masts a couple of miles away...

Everything worked fine there...

This am back home 3G works & 2+Mbps download speed. No idea what made things work...

Hope you get sorted...

Cheers!

It was a known problem with the original firmware. The recent update should fix it.

My orange settings are slightly different from yours.
Internet settings.

• Name = Orange Internet
• APN = orangeinternet (case sensitive)
• Proxy = Ignore, Leave as <Not set>
• Port = Ignore, Leave as <Not set>
• Username = Ignore, Leave as <Not set>
• Password = Ignore, Leave as <Not set>
• Server = Ignore, Leave as <Not set>
• MMSC = Ignore, Leave as <Not set>
• MMS proxy = Ignore, Leave as <Not set>
• MMS port = Ignore, Leave as <Not set>
• MMS protocol = WAP 2.0
• MCC = 234
• MNC = 33

MMS settings.

Enter the user name and password listed below. If no value is listed, leave the field blank.

• User name: Orange
• Password: Multimedia

Select MMSC, enter http://mms.orange.co.uk/ and press OK.
Select MMS Proxy, enter 192.168.224.10 and press OK.
Select MMS Port, enter 8080 and press OK.
Select APN type, select mms and press OK.

Mine works with my above setting.

Orange support had never heard of the Nexus so I asked for the settings for a Hero. I'm using.

Name: Orange WAP Payg
APN: paygwap
Proxy: 192.168.71.35
Port: 8080
Username: Orange
Password: Multimedia
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: <Not set>
MMS Proxy: <Not set>
MMS Port:<Not set>
MCC: 234
MNC: 33
Authentication type: None
APN Type: <Not set>

However, after restarting the phone the mobile network state either stays "disconnnected" or "connecting" and I don't seem to have any network access.

Has anyone else managed to get connected on Orange PAYG?

Hi All

I'm on orange pay monthly plan in the UK with a google nexus one phone. I got these settings from another website and they work really well. I think my internet might even be working faster now. Something else to try if people run out of ideas. This sets up internet and mms in a single APN.

1. Remove all APNs
2. Add new apn with the following settings:

Name: Orange
APN: orangeinternet
Proxy: 192.168.071.035
Port: 9201
Username: My mobile number (e.g. 07759....)
Password: My online orange myaccount password
Server: orangeinternet
MMSC: http://mms.orange.co.uk
MMS Proxy: 192.168.224.10
MMS Port: 8080
MCC: 234
MNC: 33
Auth Type: PAP or CHAP
APN Type: <Not Set> (Leave blank)

Cheers

Phil

Hey Phil,

thanks for the settings details. I'm using these settings on my Nexus One and everything works..except that the default Android browser doesn't load any webpages. I've installed Opera Mini and it works just fine.

Has anyone else come across this?
