GSM SHIELD + MEGA ADK = NOTHING... need a little help... pretty please.

I have the Arduino Mega ADK. I have an Arduino Uno. And I have an Arduino GSM Shield. I connect my GSM Shield to my Uno. Works fine.

I connect my GSM Shield to Arduino Mega ADK. Doesn't work.

I re-try, connect Arduino MEGA ADK to GSM Shield with pin 2 "bent" and a "jumper" from pin 2 to pin 10, as the instructions tell me to do, on the arduino website. And, of course I select my appropriate board "Arduino MEGA ADK", on the appropriate port (which I have done a thousand times) Still, Does not work.

It says it will not to connect to my GSM network. I know it will connect to my GSM network, cause if I put it in an Arduino Uno (without pin 2 bent, like it normally would be for an uno). It reads right away... "connected to GSM network".

I ask? But, I'm not dumb.I have a master's degree in mathematics with a lifetime of experience in computer programing (and I am old). Am I missing something? Uno, it works MEGA ADK... I get nothing..

Please help.. your feedback is most appreciated. And... let me, please. Give you! A high five in advance! For helping me out. Much love for Arduino! Thank you.

If you posted some code we could at least eliminate any programming errors.

Have you used a version of SerialRelay to see if you can talk to it?
