When I tried to set up a feature phone on Pure TalkUSA, I noticed that this MVNO sent the phone (a Nokia 225 4G) a message – perhaps an MMS message? – that seemed to imply that it would auto-configure my phone’s APN settings. The message had no automated effect on my feature phone, however.
Unfortunately, the “labels” that this carrier uses for the various fields do not match that feature phone’s labels for the various APN fields. I suspect that Pure TalkUSA assumed that I was using a smartphone, where perhaps the field labels are more consistent.
Question 1: Will there be such a thing as “APN settings” for the Mudita Pure?
I ask because this was my first need to concern myself with these settings.
If “Yes” to Question 1, then here’s Question 2: Will there be a way for the Mudita Pure to populate its APN settings automatically from this kind of message from a carrier?
Most carriers configure the APN settings automatically the moment you activate your phone.
If “No” to Question 2, then here’s Question 3: Will the labels of the APN-settings fields in the Mudita Pure match the labels used by smartphones for those same fields?
I don’t know whether iOS and Android use the same labels for APN-settings fields, but I am assuming, perhaps erroneously, that they are standardized across the two operating systems.
@kirkmahoneyphd I will ask our team about this. However, looking through the settings on my prototype, I don’t see APN settings. From my limited tech knowledge, APN is the name for the settings the phone reads to set up a connection to the gateway between your carrier’s cellular network and the public Internet. Since Mudita Pure does NOT have access to the internet (no browser) then I don’t think APN settings are necessary.
@kirkmahoneyphd My team got back to me & informed me that there are APN settings in Mudita Pure. I asked our team to clarify & be more specific, so I can address your other questions as well.
@mmallen37 Can you please specify what kind of issues are you experiencing? Text? Phone call? SIM card connection? This way I get get you the right info.
I’m also having an issue connecting with Pure TalkUSA. While the phone recognizes the SIM card (the correct phone number is showing in the SIM1 slot), the top left of the Mudita Pure screen that shows the number of bars just displays an * and i’m getting no service.
My phone worked for approx 2 weeks and then there was no more service. X and no bars. I went to the app settings and they weren’t exactly what the carrier says they should be. The fields don’t match what the carrier says should be there. However, the sim card worked when placed in two different phones.
@mmallen37 Thanks for this info. US Mobile uses the T-Mobile and Verizon . I Wireless network. I know we have some issues with Verizon, but T-Mobile should be OK. Is your software updated? Would it be possible for you to send logs to Mudita via Mudita Center?
Here are the instructions: How to send logs to Mudita via Mudita Center
Yes, US Mobile has two different sim cards and the late card is with tmobile, that is the sim card I am using. I was able to connect to the Mudita Center and send logs on a friend’s iMac, but not my Windows 10. Everything was updated prior to retrying the sim yesterday.
I connected my Pure to the Mudita Center (version 1.5.2) and was able to update to 1.3.0 for the Pure. I connect my Harmony (version 1.6.0) and it gets an error from Windows 10 saying it doesn’t recognize the device.
@mmallen37 We has this issue reported previously. I believe the solution to this was to restart your computer & open Mudita Center again, and then connect the device to your computer. However, when this happen, can you please submit your logs to Mudita, via Mudita Ceneter.
