Hi,
I hope this is the right place to post. I recently unlocked my Atrix and am now using it in Thailand with True Move (850mhz). The phone works fine for calls but I can't connect to the 3g or Edge/GPRS. The H+ in the top right of the screen is visible. Are there any settings I need to adjust? I plugged in a friends iphone 3gs sim card which was working fine with 3g and Edge/GPRS (on the iphone) but still no luck. Any ideas? I hope I'm missing something obvious here...
did you turn on the data roaming?
Under settings -> data manager -> data delivery I have backround data, data roaming, and data enabled all checked. Is there somewhere else I need to enable data? Its my first Android phone so sorry if the question seems obvious.
FWIW the 3g/4g worked on my AT&T sim card in the US.
Have you entered in an APN?

High all. I just purchased a Vibrant today that was brand new in the box and had never been turned on. The first thing I did was unlock it to work with AT&T. Everything works including 3G, however whenever I try to select any option in wireless settings I get this message "Unable to change networks during data service activation. Do you want to disconnect the data service and change available network?"
Does anyone know what caused this and how to fix it?
Did it ever connect to a tmobile network or did you put in the att sim right away?

I put the att sim in right away as I dont know anyone with tmobile. There must be a way around it. Like in one of those hiden menus.
Its just a notification that its stopping data to find a new source. Mine does that when I switch it to "2g only". Its ok, idata will turn back on after a few moments
^^ yep, i get the same message when i toggle between 2g/3g. not a problem at all.
Ok thanks for the reply guys.

Can you try to use the search now option? I just tried it on my phone and it works fine. Also, check to make sure Network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA (AUTO MODE)
Additionally, go to settings manage applications. select menu button >> Filter >> Show all >> Call settings and select clear data.

when i tried it right now it'll find tmo and att, but when i click tmo it says unable to connect and then it says your sim does not allow connection to this network. and i also cleared the data.

Do you have access to a tmobile post paid sim, if so give it a try. I am not sure why it will not let u connect to the network, unless tmobile had you blocked somehow.

nah i dont have access to another sim, but when i do put my sim into my blackberry everything works fine. so i dont think tmo blocked me. i also got my phone from craigslist is there anyway the person i bought it from messed it up? but i mean it was working fine when i first bought it.
when i check my phone status my phone number and everything shows up, but im just not connected to the network.

Had the same problem and this worked for me. Well, not exactly. Did the Setteings>Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks> Network Operators and pushed the "Select automatically" option instead. Post put me on the right track though. Thanks

I had this same issue. It was finally fixed with a new sim card. TMobile stated that there is a new sim card that fixes issues due to their new 3g+(4g) network. The sim would work fine on my older BB but wouldnt work on my Vibrant. They replaced the sim for free at the T-Mobile store and I have been fine since. I hope thats your same issue.

You have your Data Connection enabled, right? Another think you could try is switching to EDGE to see if it works with that.
Connection on, tried 2g also...
Maybe carrier has control over tether ability?

Does your carrier allow tethering? Have you tried another SIM?
my girlfriend has a 710 and tethering works on her device, took her sim and got the same error...(i'm a qa engineer and already thought of these options so i guess is a hardware problem)

You can also try a hardreset. There were some changes in the firmwares that are only active after a hard reset.
i find it really stupid that i have to hard reset it...that;s not why i bought the phone..
what are these changes?

Well, I got some new options that allow me to configure call forwarding and the SMS charset... I doubt that it is a hardware problem. Your data connection works properly on the phone?
Yup, always has been working fine...
Is the phone sim unlocked & are you using it on a different service provider? Can you send MMS messages? I suspect WP is looking at some hard coded APN settings when activating internet sharing, & not the one entered under the cellular apn option.
Yes i can MMS messages, but i do have another problem with it that makes me think the celullar modem is faulty....i use it on 2g and sometimes when i receive a call the sound is all distorted when i answer for about 5-6 seconds and then i ca hear the person on the other end...this happens form the day i started using it...
Woke up this morning with everything working. Got out of bed and place my phone on my desk and turned on my computer. I then looked back at my phone to see i had not service. Confused, i restarted my phone to see if that worked and it didnt. I tried another sim and it didnt work either. i then put both of the sims in a iphone and it worked there. I restored the phone to stock and 2 other roms and it still isnt working. The weird part is when on stock i get signal bars even when their is no sim. When i try to dial out i get "Not Registered on Network"
Any help is great help
Wrong section, ask in the general or Q&A.

Have you checked your Settings? Still got IMEI? ([Settings] [About Phone] [Status]) Phone connected to correct Network Operator? Access Point Names has correct data in it? [Settings] [More Settings] [Mobile Neworks]
Thanks for the responses. I had a rom running on it for a little bit over a week and didnt make any changes since. I also do have an Imei and an apn

It doesnt even show my network operator, thats the weird part it only shows rogers and when i put a sim in for fido (Rogers>Fido) i got service but no h+ even with the correct apn i only got edge
My Network operator doesn't show as a normal either - I do a Search and get (after a wait) Telstra, Optus and Voda - choose Telstra and it pops up a 'Registered on Network' msg.

yeah when i search i only get rogers???? This is the single most awkward thing ive ever seen
EDITTZ Found the problem. The phone switched itself to only look for one band not all. +_+ dont know how it got their and how it pertained through all the wipes but got it working DDDDDDDD
i had the same very exact problem..and yes when its in auto mode it only detects gsm signal so the data is slow signal is E.
i usually use the wcdma only option so that the phone on searches for 3g h and h+ but now when i select that option it only gives me
not registered on network..and no data signal at all.. and also the weird thing is that there is a signal bar on it plus when i scan for
network it searches the other two carrier brand on our country not the sims own carrier. help anyone

Hey xTristinx, glad you got your phone working.
I have the same problem on my Galaxy S, my SIM wouldn't register a network on it but it worked on a different phone. My Galaxy S still gets a signal but always says "out of service". I think this might be a problem because my friend used his SIM card in my phone and it f***** up the bands. Could you give me any suggestions on how you fixed your problem?
Thank you.
Hi guys, I'm having this bizarre problem that I hope you could help me with.
I currently have an iPhone 5S, SGS4 and HTC One and share a single sim card between all three phones.
In my home country my SIM card is able to access data on all 3 phones with no problem.
However, when I go abroad and use data roaming, only the iPhone is able connect, both android phones are unable to connect at all.
I checked the APN settings and all seem to be correct.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Have you enabled data roaming in settings..!??
If you are using a custom rom you can find it in settings - - > more - - >mobile networks... Tick the data roaming option... I've never tried data roaming as I don't travel much... But that might help you..! [emoji106]

Yup it's ticked for sure. On the HTC it says that APN settings are incorrect, on the Samsung the phone just refuses to connect. If I move the SIM to the iPhone, data roaming works flawlessly!
When I'm back home, I have zero problems with either phone, which leads me think this is either an Android problem, or a SIM card problem.

Then I guess it has something to do with APN's... Maybe it requires different APN's for roaming... And somehow iPhone has them by default and android doesn't.... Contact your service provider and get the apns..!! That's my best bet.... Good luck
