I have a Titan I'm trying to use on Straight Talk. I was using a Focus with a Straight Talk provided number and everything worked fine. They don't port numbers into already activated SIMs though.
Now I have a new SIM I ported my ATT number from. I can make voice calls but no texting or data. ST is no help because they don't really support BYOD phones.
If anyone has a Titan on ST and could provide their successfully working settings I'd really appreciate it. - 03-31-2012, 12:34 PM #2
Have you tried a battery pull? I am pretty sure the phone gets the additional APN information off the SIM card on bootup.

I wasn't sure if this phone has ADC turned on by default or not. I did a hard reset of the phone (kind of a nuclear option bleh) and tried to see if it would pick up the settings but no dice. I've also tried the battery pull (ST suggested this) no dice. One thing I notice when I do a battery pull is it clears my APN settings....uncool.
I ran the HTC Connection Setup app and selected Tracfone though I think that's only for MMS.
EDIT: I did another battery pull and it is working now. I pulled the battery with the power on whereas before I was turning the phone off gracefully....ugh whatever but it works now. Yay!Last edited by inteller; 03-31-2012 at 12:55 PM.

Glad you got it to work. I just put att.mvno as the APN. I don't use the Connection Setup app because I don't think Tracfone is the right setting, because I can never get it to work. As a result, I can't use MMS, but at least my data works.
I've asked HTC to add Straight Talk to their Connection Setup app a month ago and they said they would consider it. Haven't heard anything since. - 03-31-2012, 03:46 PM

Well I wrote HTC Technical Support and I wrote on their Facebook page.
The link the HTC Facebook people gave me was:
Contact HTCdev
though that seems to be more about Android. - 03-31-2012, 04:31 PM

We do not have the ability to change settings manually like the Wireless Setup app from Samsung does so your reply is not pertinent.

on the Focus you will not be able to. It uses the previous generation Network Profile app, of which Samsung has shown no interest in updating it with a profile for Straight Talk. Until they do you will get no MMS. Your best bet is to upgrade to a newer Focus with the Wireless Setup app that allows you to configure this manually.

Sorry about that , thought that maybe the HTC Connection Setup would work, but, I just read on XDA that the app was pulled and no longer on marketplace.
Really somebody needs to make the Wireless Manager work for all WP7 Phone just not Samsung's or Microsoft should just intergrate into the OS itself.Nokia Lumia 521 - TMobile Prepaid 2.5gb with Hotspot

I'm interested in getting a Titan on Net10. How has it been for any of you that have already had it running on ST/N10 for a while now?

works fine, just no MMS right now until HTC updates the Connection Setup app.

I had an LG Quantum on ST but couldn't edit the MMS settings. Now I have a Venue Pro which allows MMS server editing when in engineer mode. I gave up wi-fi tethering leaving the LG, but it was a good trade-off.

I have a Titan 2 and just got Straight Talk. The phone and texts are working but I can't get data. I read that you guys were able to get it. I have tried entering all the the information from Straight Talk in the APN settings, doing a battery pull but that didn't work. I also tried just entering att.mvno and leaving everything else blank and doing a battery pull, but nothing.
Any advice? In order to do a battery pull on the Titan 2 I just remove the sim card backing. I can't actually remove the battery, but this should do the same thing. - 04-17-2012, 01:41 PM

Get HTC Connection Setup app
Select Tracfone
go to Settings->cellular->add apn type att.mvno for name and save.
power off for about 30 secs, power back on. I'd say yank battery but you cant with a TII. - 04-17-2012, 01:46 PM #20
I have tired that about 10 times. :mad: It is not working. It does show 4G on the top though.
I have been putting att.mvno in the APN field and leaving all the others blank.
The other fields are:
User Name
Password
Proxy server/URL
Proxy Port
I initially tired filling in all the ones I could with the information from Straight Talk but that didn't work either. - 04-17-2012, 01:50 PM

you need to start a support ticket from straight talk's facebook page. sounds like you had the same problem I did and the rep on facebook support got it fixed.

oh **** NO.....don't call them for support. I almost commited a violent crime trying to get help through phone support. It was only after reaching my wit's end I decided to try the Facebook support page cause I had nothing to lose and it turns out those are the best support people.
one thing you need to try if possible is try the SIM in another ATT phone to confirm this is an issue with data provisioning on your account and not your phone. - 04-17-2012, 02:00 PM #24

oh 30 minutes? don't even bother. You need to wait at least 2-4 hours. Turn the phone off and remove the SIM and come back in a few.
