I recently got a Samsung Behold II locked with TMobile with Firmware 1.5. I brought the phone to Asia and had it unlocked and so its now working fine, except with the following issues:
1. My carrier requires two APN settings - one for internet settings and one for MMS settings. Apparently firmware 1.5 doesn't have access to APN settings. I've already searched the internet and finally found the solution which is to type in the dialer *#87927# and the APN setting will appear. After clicking the TMobile APN setting, editing it and saving it, I finally got the internet to work, i.e. "3G" now comes out whenever I access the browser while unlike before it was only the antenna. Anyways, apparently in the dialer *#87927#, i can only edit the TMobile APN setting (which is only one setting configured for internet and MMS), however I cannot seem to be able to add another APN setting, since my carrier requires another APN setting so I can send MMS picture messages. Can anybody come up with the solution?
2. In my stock contacts for firmware 1.5, there is only one "name" field, meaning both first name and last name are in just one field. If I have to do a search, apparently i won't be able to search using the last name. Results of the search in the contacts is always based on the first letter in the name field. This is apparently different in the stock messaging application where you can type either first name or last name in the "TO" field and the search results include both first and last name. So my problem now is that I don't want to be going to the stock messaging application just to get an accurate search for a specific contact, since I don't want to make a message, but rather want to make a call. The headache is that the stock contact application can only search using the first letters of the NAME field, but sometimes i can't remember a persons first name and just put Mr for Mister and put the Last name. Example, if I put John Doe in the Name field, I can't seem to search "Doe" in the contacts application. I will have to type "John" to get the result of "John Doe". Can anybody help me on how I can solve this problem? Do I need to install a better contacts application from the Market?
