samirv 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Hi everyone, This is my first post on this forum and I do hope that I follow protocol in my attempt at a solution to my problem. I have bought a brand new Samsung Epic 4G from Mr Hetal Patel (an experienced and very helpful moderator in this forum) and got my Reliance number transferred to this phone. Before going further would just like to point out that the phone browses the internet through wifi - the problem is with the phone reaching the internet through 1X connectivity. Here is the problem. The phone was first running DI07. I installed Anycut and entered the following settings hostname: wapgw.ricinfo.com port: 8080 Since I was unable to log into http://wap.rworld.co.in from the phone I was advised by Mr Hetal to put on the Sprint HotSpot, connect a laptop via wifi to the phone, enter the same proxy settings as above and access http://wap.rworld.co.in to select a data plan. Here starts the problem - I was able to do all of the above AND browse the internet from the laptop with and without the proxy on both firefox and the phone but the phone itself is unable to reach the internet. I have tried to use the phone to connect to the internet with the Sprint HotSpot on and off but no connectivity. I have also tried to use different browsers and programs that require internet connectivity but have had no success. The phone provides internet connectivity through the Sprint HotSpot to any device that connects to it except itself !!! I have rebooted and factory reset it and started from the beginning a multitude of times to come back to the same problem. I have now upgraded the Build Number to ECLAIR.DI18 and STILL face the same problem. I love the phone - but am dying to get this to work. Any solutions anyone ???

samirv 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Guys, Hetal Bhai rules - I plugged in my phone and installed some software that he asked me to and through a remote log in re programmed my phone !!! The moment it rebooted the internet was working fine and all looks good. Finding it impossible to download apps from the Sprint market with wifi on or off even though data is working - it keeps saying download unsuccessful. Anyone else have the same problem ?

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted February 16, 2011 That is because your phone might be configured with MDN as username password and this would be treated as Full Internet Browsing without Proxy...Which is not covered in the pack you bought... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted February 17, 2011 APN settings are for GSM Data services...Yours is CDMA Phone...In Imported handsets like Epic, Data settings are already programmed by your seller since you are able to browse... For Data Plans appropriate for you, ask your Seller for advice... You can port to Reliance GSM but then you cannot use Epic on Rel GSM...You Will need to buy a GSM Phone..

sutarianiral 1 Report post Posted March 12, 2011 Hello everyone, Im new to Android and Epic 4g. Since yesterday I'm not able to connect internet via phone. The data connection won't start. Before, whenever i wanted to use internet, i would disable "Dial up networking" and it would connect to data by itself, by showing the 3G symbol on the top. But now after disabling "dial up networking" nothing would happen. I have tried rebooting, toggling airplane/normal mode.. no help .. And also, it seems that the data connection the phone uses is of the RWorld.. The one which uses wap proxy of rworld.. How can i connect to internet via #777 connection ? Where we give ph no as username and password.. basically how to configure a new connection using phone modem .. ? I have installed Anycut but I dont know how to configure proxy settings using it. Thanking you, Niral. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sutarianiral 1 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Hello, Im again able to browse RWorld internet on phone. Solution . I followed instructions in that topic, used CDMA Workshop to write a text file which was given in the topic. Everything is back to normal. Anyways, but i still have a doubt - how can i browse Net Connect internet (not the RWorld internet) through the phone ? How to enter the settings for a new connection on phone. I don't see any option under "Settings/Wireless & Networks" to configure a new connection. I want to use Net Connect on phone.

There are a few lucky users like me, who are using imported handsets on Tata. Ha ha... Sougata Ji... Like we talked earlier today, these lucky days are going to get a halt within a year or two, if TATA didn't change their policy (or at-least wrt Android phones)...
