New info on Network Setup app

[kingp]

I tweeted Nokia US Support yesterday, to ask about the status of this app. It was originally available until earlier this year. Nokia pulled the app after some devs found a way to Interop Unlock Lumia devices, with it.

I have a Lumia 800 on Red Pocket Mobile (AT&T MVNO) and everything works, except for MMS. The only way to get MMS to work, is by configuring the MMS settings via this app. The pre-installed version of Network Setup is very old, and only does an auto-config of settings, based on the SIM card.

The Nokia US support rep said that the app will be available in the "coming weeks" to all US Lumia devices. Here is the tweet:

My "old" network setup has a plus button at the bottom of the screen. So even though it attempts to auto-configure the settings, you can still override it with your own APN info. Yours doesn't have that option?

They promised it would be out this week (after promising it would be out several months ago). So far, no dice. Can't say I'm shocked, only a little disgusted.

what model do you have?

Nope. The only thing it had was the ... to pull up the menu from the bottom, which gave you an "about" link for the app. That's all. Do you have an RM-819 variant phone, or a different one?

This issue is specifically related to the 819 variant Lumia 800.

looks like Nokia Network Setup App is back up. However for some darn reason it won't allow me to download it
