Can't get internet to work on the N900
 

Hello, I bought a n900 yesterday, and I tell you, ive only had it for a day now and it by far is one of the best phones ive ever held. I can't wait to use it to its fullest potential.

I use the Mobile carrier Simplemobile, they advertise the n900 as one of their "3g" usable phones, im in good coverage, i also have the internet plan for them.

However, my problem is, The n900 will not connect to the internet, it says im connected and im in 3.5G speeds, but when ever I load a page, it says "page load error". Ive tried everything but wifi (i dont have a router), but im sure wifi will work.

Can anyone help? Simplemobile uses Tmobile towers so the APN thingy is "epc.tmobile.com"

Looks like others have had complications with the apn for simple:

Try changing the apn to:
Name: simpleweb
• Access Point (APN):simple
• Connection Type: http
• User Name: <none>
• Password: <none>

If you need to add it, it's port 80 and proxy 0.0.0.0.

Try those settings and then see if you can get a webpage. FWIW, I can't get a browser page if I'm on the wrong apn, despite seeing a strong signal. (though actually a strong signal here is unusual!)

It will not let me change the Connection type from "GPRS" to HTTP

Re: Can't get internet to work on the N900
 

Leave it as GPRS - change the rest. There's an alternate proxy we can try too - can you get a webpage with the name abd apn changed?

Re: Can't get internet to work on the N900
 

I changed it to

Connection name : SImpleweb

APN (Access point name) Simple
connection type : GPRS

I get a new error

"Address not found"

I tried the proxy, but it just said "proxy not allowed" or something.


(p.s im sorry if im kinda smart phone illiterate.)

Re: Can't get internet to work on the N900
 

Silly detail but the settings I can find say the apn is simple, not Simple - are you using an uppercase 's'?

Leave the proxy blank for now.

Go into the sttings, internet settings and choose the connection to edit: connection name should be: simpleweb, and type whatever it shows - mine says "packet data" but GPRS should be fine for simpleweb.

Next screen make it say apn: simple (no uppercase) and leave everything else blank. Then click 'advanced' and make sure that 'proxy' is not enable, finally click 'finish'.

Any luck?

Re: Can't get internet to work on the N900
 

Well its like this now
simpleweb
GPRS

then on the APN page

simple
<blank>
<blank>


When i try to load a page it just says
"Address not found" instead of "page load error"

Re: Can't get internet to work on the N900
 

Ok; Can you click the 'advanced' tab and check the 'proxy' box. Set the proxy at 0.0.0.0. - and try either port 8080 (try that first) or port 80.

Finally, make quite sure you are connecting to that apn (I assume it's the only one) when trying to get a webpage.
