Hey guys,

I've recently installed android on my phone and its working flawless like any android device but the WAP service is not working on Froyo BUT on my WM 6.5.5 it was working flawless , does anyone have any fix or might come up with a good fix?

PS: my phone is HTC HD2 running froyo 2.1 with sense (not rooted but i can do that if it's required)

Have you installed Android on your HD2 ? if so you should have read before that the Android is just emulated and still in th alpha stage..

could somebody please explain whats the difference between the wap service you are talking about, edge and the mobile internet from alfa that wollyka is talking about? thanks.

the internet/edge service requires a fixed line from alfa and costs for 10 $ (50MB) or more , while the wap service doesn't require a fixed line and costs only for 3 $ (20MB) of course per month
so for me i go for the wap cheap and i have the requirements

Aj_BlaZ forgot to mention that the EDGE service has a much faster theoretical speed than the WAP service.

And is it faster in real conditions? or at least in Lebanon?

I think it's faster, but Kareem is better placed to judge that. Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, Alfa blocks certain ports (e.g., SMTP) on their WAP service.

@Aj_BlaZ
The most important part of your fix is missing...there are no ''Manual'' in UAstrings just Android/Iphone/Desktop.
What's your device? Are you running a custom ROM?

updated first post with screen shots , @vegetaleb as i said im using htc desire rom on my htc hd2 (2.2 froyo with sense) of course its a custom made rom to make it work on my htc hd2 you can try installing free-private-browser from android market it should let you edit your uastring manually

@ Aj_BlaZ:
Offtopic subject: I see you have a HTC Desire rom ( i have a HTC Desire myself) ..i recommend you to download the arabization files (fonts) + ardoid program from the market so at least you can read and write Arabic (but the program is not free)

it works great on 2.1 and good on 2.2 (but there are some bugs in 2.2 with some sms that have both Arabic and Latin characters since the alignment will be wrong. also when typing the alignment is wrong )

Also  i noticed that EDGE is faster than wap here in Lebanon :p

well i have an HTC Desire on Official FROYO (No Root) and cannot access the paid software on Android Market. What is the name of the package to purchase to enable arabic ? because the letter are separated for me.
