HTC Hero on Three UK

[hystryxen]

I just unlocked my Orange HTC Hero and now using it on 3 network.

Anyone out there know the correct configuration for the internet?

I just put

name : three
apn: three.co.uk
port: 80

Sometimes,it do work but sometimes it fails eventhough HSDPA notification appear on my phone.

apn: three.co.uk
mms protocol: WAP 2.0
mcc: 234
mnc: 20
apn type: default

everything else is <not set>

Hope this helps

I'm on Three with unlocked HTC Hero, when I first insered SIM card - received message saying that they cannot configure my phone, but all services works fine.

On 2nd of November(1 day left) Three is going to lunch HTC Hero so I hope they will have proper settings for everything(including Skype).

im on anunlocked hero and on 3 uk.

phone seemed to set itself up.

and today wheni updated the rom once the phone rebooted all the settings were there and working.

havnt had to mess about with that side of things at all

only problem i have is with the clock

in the time and date settings if i leave the "AUTOMATIC use network-provided values" box checked my phone clock jumps back 2 hours and gives my location as minsk... wtf is all that about? i live in lancashire

Sounds like it can't get a proper fix on your location... are you using both wireless networks and GPS sats in 'my location sources' ?

As for time... well that is weird. It's fine down here in Northants...

it fixes my location fine with the gps switched on.. down to a few feet. i thing that feature takes its info just off the radio masts and ignores the gps position..

the whole clock thing seems to be quite a big issue lots of posts with clock problems..

oh some additional settings i found for the o.p.


mmsc http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
mms proxy xxx.xxx.xxx.x looks like an ip address not sure if its mine or any ideas?

the rest of the settings are same as in post 2.

mms proxy - 217/171/129/2 (most likely their gateway)
mms port - 8799

cool stuff - looks like a good result. i always have the GPS location turned on and i don't notice any decrease in battery to be honest.

i always have it switched on as well that and the wirless loction..

ive just put the weather widget on my home screen and it gives my current location as minsk again.. so ive now deleted all citys apart from blackburn...

im pretty sure this is a well documented bug that is being sorted out with the new 2.0 update..when it finally gets released

When i bought unlocked Hero,it set up itself.
I dont know how it works but it works. Im in three and everything works fine.
Never had problems with anything apart of low phone memory...so i must keep my apps tidy
Just waiting to get Skype on my phone

I'm also on 3uk and for a start none of my internet stuff worked, gmail, web browsing etc
However I found a reboot after the initial boot up seemed to kick everything into life
Hope this helps!

After using that setting
Name: Three
Apn: three.co.uk

My internet is still not working

the browser can only go to 3 - Home super lightning fast, but completely failed for all other sites..

I've tried to reset it default setting and the same problem persist..

any idea guys??

My Hero is unlocked unbranded from factory, it picked up network settings as soon as I put my THree Sim.

My settings are.

Data roaming - on

Network operators - 3

Access Point Names - 3 Services

Enable always-on mobile data - on
