who is using what media player? I've tried a couple of different ones, but can't find one that recognizes the external sd card. The stock player does, but none of the media player apps "sees" the card.

i see bars on my phone..., but cannot connect...:(

was able to finally connect;

Can you make voice calls? After you made the APN changes did you reboot? Also check this link out, this person claims it works on his HTC Dream/Magic Android - HTC Dream/Magic - Fido APN/MMS Settings - xda-developers I would think the settings would be the same.

settings were successful AND i had to modify settings to GSM/WCDMA instead of GSM only..; i think that was one of the changes that helped me connect; thanks again for your help!

I use Rockplayer - the Rockplayer Universal which is available from Market lets you set default root directory, I use "/sdcard2". I am then able to browse my external sd card and play videos, even .avi (remember to select "software acceleration" or whatever it says (I don't have the S7 in front of me at the moment).

I use MixZing and tunewiki for music, haven't tested video players yet. Both the music players see the external card

Just tried this. Can't get the setting to stick when I change the default directory to sdcard2. In additoin, it just keeps crashing on me, and going back to the screen where it wants you to buy it. Don't know if this is some kind of glitch, or the programmer has done this on purpose to force you to buy.

Vicster,

I just cleared that whole space and can use the back button to navigate to either card. Should work the same for you.

I got this from pjmaxx on xda. I think this should go in the first post. I new there had to be a different apn for data only. I hope this helps someone else as much as it did me.

"If you have a Data only plan..
Huawei S7

APN Name: AT&T
APN: broadband (all lowercase per AT&T)
MMC: 310
MNC: 410

everything else leave at default(Blank)...
to save setting press menu...save APN
May or may not have to restart...
Enjoy."

I have a logitech media board at work and that bluetooth mouse. I will try them in the morning. The logitech keyboard has a track pad on it.

thanks for test. i wondering if we need special apps to be aware of that bluetooth relationship or is the bluetooth profile not there for keyboard/mouse builtin in that rom on the huawei s7?
