n900 and att connection failed
 

Hi guys

I really need some help
I have att and after ai got the phone I turned on a data plan The system locates att on network search but says internet connection failed

Does anyone have a solution for this error any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: n900 and att connection failed
 

When I signed up for T-Mobile it took 48 hours for internet access to start working. Not sure if it's the same for AT&T. I could access the internet via wifi just fine, but not through the cell network (3G).

Re: n900 and att connection failed
 

I already had ATT when I got the n900, and it works fine. Just plugged in the sim card. Works with voice and data with out any effort from me. Of course, ATT's 3g doesn't work with the N900. Only Tmobile's 3g does in the US market. If your ATT connection is only giving you voice and no data, then either your plan doesn't include data or ATT has fukked something up. I'd call them.

thanks the replies

I think i am go get another sim card


and see if that works

Re: n900 and att connection failed
 

does it make a difs what phone is listed on the att site under each wireless line

Re: n900 and att connection failed
 

are you perhaps using a sim card from an iphone?

Re: n900 and att connection failed
 

Nope. Mine is isted as some old dumb phone I had. Works great for me.

Re: n900 and att connection failed
 

how did you solve this problem. I am getting "Connection Failed" mine is with another carry who supports 3G AWS. On my n900 I see data network setup with APN but the Network is type "GPRS". I can't edit this entry. Anyone recommend anything to solve this "Connection Failed"? Try another SIM card?

meme, do you try to reboot phone?

I use ATT too and i force to register for PDA data plan package (30$ a month), when they update my plan on their side, all i need just reboot my phone than it work fine.

If you got standard package ( 15$ a month ) work .. please let me know i will find a way to switch to that package .. when i got mine it wont work at all for this package.

Re: n900 and att connection failed
 

I tried rebooting the phone. Didn't solve anything. My Network operator is WindMobile.ca. New Canadian Network Operator that runs on AWS.

Re: n900 and att connection failed
 

I think you want want to contact phone operator they should able to send some configuration or do something .. i am not sure about Canada, since i am in US, i run on ATT network 2.5G ( switch to T-Mo when contract over) ..

Re: n900 and att connection failed
 

I had the same problem after trying to use fMMS. Every time I tried to manually
connect to AT&T connection it'd take 2s or so to prompt the Connection Failed
message. Rebooting didn't help. After comparing two backups (the
configuration backup is stored in .xml files in a zipped file. kudos to the maemo
team for using open formats) I noticed that the AT&T connection settings like
username, password, etc were all erased. And such configurations were
automatic, so I never had to enter them.
Go on Settings, Internet Connections, Connections, select AT&T Internet and
select 'edit'. Then select Next and you'll see the access point name, user name,
etc. The settings:


Access point name: wap.cingular
User name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1


preserve the caps on the user name and password.
let the password prompt off. Select Next and then advanced. In advanced
proxy usage should be off and auto-retrieve IP address and auto-retrieve DNS
on.

Re: n900 and att connection failed
 

For the last 2 days, I have had the connection failed problem on AT&T. I figured my internet connection settings got reset so I came here looking for the settings to enter them manually. Turns out, they were already set, and they were correct, I double and triple checked them, but I still cannot connect to the AT&T internet. I always get the connection failed error message. Additionally, FMMS no longer works. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try or do? I'm on PR 1.2 and the latest version of FMMS (1.2.4, I think). Could anyone shed some light on this issue and what I may be doing wrong?

Re: n900 and att connection failed
 

Does anyone know why this is happening? I can't figure this out for the life of me and google searching has turned up nothing. I even resorted to reinstalling PR 1.2 and I still can't connect to AT&T internet.
