Hi everyone, well i been working on this all day and have finally gave up..
Right now, since i flashed about 2 weeks ago, i still have not had a working data connection.. always fails. GPS works great, but useless if i cant use google maps, and my main reason for purchasing the phone was for the data connection.
I would really like to talk to any fellow *Telus* members that have GPS working + data connection. I seem like i have done everything i can.
Also, if i cant get the data connection working, I was wondering if anyone knows where i can get the OEM Telus rom. I would like to revert back to a stock phone, radio/bootloader/rom the whole kit--incase i want to send it back to telus
Thanks
[edit]
Im currently running dcd 2.2.3 rom
radio 3.27.00
[UPDATE]
See my last post for info on how I fixed my problem!
I am having similar problems on my XV6800. I first went from stock to 1.6.10 with no problems, then up to the 2.1 to 2.3.1, no problems. I then downgrade to try out 1.7 and now I cannot get data to connect. Everything else works fine, but no data. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I've followed the same "upgrade path" as you and now have the identical problem with my vzw xv6800 and dcd's 1.7.0. I posted in dcd's 1.7.0 kitchen thread since this one's title didn't really match.
So i guess the real question is how do we revert and go back to a stock device so we can try again from the start?
Its weird, so many people have their gps & data connection working fine. I know for me, all i have found is sprint information which is useless for me as a telus client again, any of you telus users out there id like to know your secret
I was having data problems when I first upgraded. If you can try going to settings, personal, phone, services, internet, initiate IOTA, see if that works. If not you may need some programming on the end of your carrier. After calling Sprint it got sorted out and my internet works just fine now.

I tried reverting back to a stock rom and that wasn't the case. I'd recommend calling your carrier, but don't mention in the process that you are using a custom rom.

After flashing this rom I can't establish a data connection.
Here's the "upgrade" path I've taken on my vzw xv6800.
Stock -> Olipro 1.20 -> 1.40.00 radio -> various dcd 1.6.x roms and others -> Olipro 2.40 -> 3.27.00 radio -> various dcd 2.x.x roms and others -> Olipro 1.20 -> 1.40.00 radio -> dcd 1.7.0 rom.
I've never needed an A-Key or had a problem with voice or data after a flash.
The data connection seems to reject any username/password I enter. I've tried using u:<number>@vzw3g.com p:vzw, and leaving both blank and checking "save password", neither work.
I can make/receive calls fine, IOTA seems to work fine.
I've tried flashing a rom with dcd's BuildOS defaults, and one with only a carrier change to vzw, same behavior with both.
I've found one other person that followed the same upgrade path, and has the same problem, in this post.
Any ideas?

You have previous data session active from other ROM build. So your account is still logged in on verizon server.
It's like IRC when you get disconnected from internet, then reconnect and login to IRC and see your previous name is still in the channels. You need to wait a bit for it to "timeout".
Have to either call verizon and have them kick off the ghost, or turn off your phone, take the battery out, and wait about 20 minute.
Goodluck!

My phone doesnt have the Internet option there. I also installed iota.cab but something tells me its sprint specific, it failed aways.
I called *22803 and did the over the air programming that way. It fixed a roaming issue i originally had... somehow after the flash i had ended up with a wrong PRL.
One thing that i have noticed that is very odd. When i enter ##778 and click edit and enter my unlock code and click the View Info and M. IP Default Profile. The NAI value is my hex esn and sprint in the form of an email address!
When i was writing down my provision data (before my first flash) i did a quick look thru of all the options and that value was [email protected] -- not sprint.
Its weird that im a telus user, yet have spring information in my phone.
Further down the list is HA Shared Secret and AAA Shared Secret. These have strange data that i think are probably wrong if the NAI is wrong as well.
Any ideas?
When I first called Sprint they had me replace the HA and AAA secret stuff, but it didn't help me. Somewhere along the lines some of my data was lost and needed to be reconfigured on their end. That may be what has happened to you. You might try downgrading , but in my experience it did nothing, I was still unable to use data when I downgraded.

did they have you clear the fields? or enter some info? im afraid to clear it just incase and it would be *super* hard typing it back in lol
They had me retype the HA and AAA, but that wasn't the problem. I think it is best to call them up and see what they have to say. Just tell them you've done a hard reset and then your data connection quit working. Don't let them know you flashed a custom rom and tell them you think you need to reprovision your data connection. That should get it sorted out.

Calling vzw and playing dumb fixed this for me! They "reprovisioned" my data.
And just so we know what might have caused this,

I managed to answer my question about stock telus rom.. and managed to get back to factory defaults... everything worked--even data!
So now i need to find a rom made for us telus folk that that i can try out. Can anyone upload the one that works for them to a fileshare site? I am specifically looking for a rom that works on the p4000.
Also, I have tried cooking a couple roms using dcds 2.3.2 kitchen but not luck -- still no data connection. So fustrating being the only one without a data connection lol

I called telus and played dumb aswell. I asked them if its possible that things got screwed up on their end such as having a phantom me still logged into the data service but the lady said that it was impossible. I also asked if there was anything reprovision yadda yadda..
All she suggested was check my MDN and MSID and if that was ok (which is was) then take it in for warranty.
With all that said and done though, flashing to the stock rom worked. so some how the roms i have been trying just arent allowing me to use the data connection
I don't use Telus so I'm just guessing, but when you "played dumb" did you simply say that you can't establish a data connection after doing a hard reset?

yeah i told the i did a hard reset because my today screen messed up
I am with telus, mine is working perfectly.
Been using different version of DCD roms. I was having lots of problems. like the phone freezing not connecting to active sync after installing programs. I have since cooked 2.3.2 rom and been using it for a few days. Everything seems to be working perfectly.
maybe try flashing your radio again? I was gonna suggest your MSID..etc. But it seems you have checked it with Telus already.
Have you looked in modem and make sure you have #777 in there? (I am sure telus prolly would have had you check that...but just incase)

Also have you tried changing your NAI Value?
my is [email protected]
and DUN NAI: [email protected]
AAA Shared Secret: Should I be sharing this?
Perhaps try doing and RTN reset then reprovisioning your phone? RTN reset is a hard reset that also wipes all provisioning data to defaults. Then you will need to reprogram your phone with MDN and MSID. Only proceed if you know your MSL, MSID, and MDN. Or after doing the reset have Telus walk you through reprogramming your phone.
##786#
menu->reset
Heres what i did on my latest flash using a rom someone else has no trouble running:
flashed from the bootloader screen after the device makes a beep on the computer
first boot, set up screen by tapping points
rom makes customizations and does a reboot
i check my MND and MSID via ##390215 - everything checks out (its my number with area code)
next i head to phone settings and check the number is good there. yep
now i attempt to call my voicemail - works
i call someone - works
next i wanna test data so i first have to set up modem...
Settings > connections > connections
Advanced > select networks - I choose a name "my isp name"
under modem tab i add new and select a name for it "my connection"
next, enter #777 for dialup
fill out user/pass (user being my phone + @1x.telusmobility.com and pass being esn decimal form)
i click finish and open up pie
enter a website - www.google.com
pie tells me its invalid and does not try to even start a data connection
I try installing google maps, so i copy cab to sd card, in file manager copy, nav to My Documents folder and paste
I get access denied. be certain there is enough memory yada yada and same thing happens when i try to copy a file to the sd card -- weird
so i try use camera take some pictures, they save to the sd card and not the internal space - and manually copying doesnt work either
so i check how much space i have free... Storage total: 167.40mb inuse 3mb free 164.35mb, program: total 46mb in use: 23.77mb free 22.23mb
storage card tab says i have 1857.91 mb free
Activesync will not let me connect to the device so i cant try installing software like that.even though i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it, seems to be device issue due to rom
so i double check my device settings: ROM version DCD 2.3.2, Radio 3.27.00, browser msie 6.0, ESN is correct in hex form
at this point i dont know what to do
tried to make this as detailed as i can so someone can possibly tell if i missed a step along the lines somewhere
I think you problem is here:
# next, enter #777 for dialup
# fill out user/pass (user being my phone + @1x.telusmobility.com and pass being esn decimal form)

There should not be any username/pass there...at least I don't and it is working for me. I think it is more to do with your ##778 under you NAI...change it there...
so i bought a used vibrant off of a guy i know. And it worked perfectly. After a few days the phone just stopped working when i tried to do a factory update. Now the error i get when i try to make a call is "network not available" and where my bars would be it shows a circle with a line through it. I have tried booting on flashed roms and i have tried putting on stock 2.1, i have even tried to put the unlock code in, but nothing works at all!!! tmobile has no clue about anything and just keeps telling me to hard reset or send it in for repair but i have no insurance and i cannot be without a phone!!! please help me asap. i have also tried to go to select network and nothing comes up at all it used to say att and tmobile now nothing?? i am clueless here?!?!?!?! everything else works on the phone just no network as in wifi, market place etc. and i know its not my sim as i just got a new one and tried in my friends vibrant and it worked!
You might need to add the APN manually maybe?
Where you went to search network goto access point names and click on tmobile
The APN should be : epc.tmobile.com
MMSC should be : http:/ /mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMC should be : 310
MNC should be : 260
APN type should be : Internet+MMS
Just a suggestion but you could always just odin back to a factory fresh install. Sounds like the OTA update that you installed hosed something. Are you getting any SIM errors or anything else?
if u can (via wifi or something) download Rom Manager from the market and click on "fix permissions".... see if that helps.
all the settings in the apn are corect as per what the values you typed should be, i have rom manager and tried the quick fix with the permissions, nada, and this is the strangest problem as my sim card is reading as all my sim contacts are showing...so i know the sim card slot is not the issue, and when i tried to flash back to stock using odin 2x now, it still leaves out the calling feature, i was thinking maybe it has to do with the modem in the phone and somehow it got deleted for good unless i reinstall it???

This might be the fix you need. Download JFD tar and 512 pit files. It is a stock build that should completely clean and reinstall all the correct files needed. When you flash into Odin3 make sure repartition is UNTICKED or it will not work! I've had plenty of issues in the past and JFD has resolved every last one of them. J16 helps, but not with everything. Probably because it's just an update file.

What do you mean by it didn't work? The JFD file did not flash successfully or it did flash successfully, but you are still not getting a network signal? If no network signal then I advise you call T-Mobile and tell them you are having gps issues and they should replace the phone as long as it's still under warranty. It's worth a try. The worst they can say is sorry your warranty is expired.

the flash worked as in it was successful but no network still comes up. i called tmobile but since i bought the phone originally not from tmobile they said bring it back to the person you bought it from. tmobile even resent the signal to my phone and i was on the phone for over and our with them doing the same thing over and over, but to no avail. before i throw this phone on ebay for parts.... any other ideas???

did you check if airplane mode was on. i had it sometimes hide in the menus but never said in the notifications
So I checked airplane mode and nothing. It wasn't on that so still no fix. And the guy I got it from said he didn't do anything but I think he bsing. Is there anyone in the new york area that thinks they can fix this. Even if for a little fee it might be worth it?? Let me know asap I need a phone.
i guess no one found a fix for this as i still have the phone and the repair shop i got it back form seems like they didnt know what to do at all, even changed out the sim card slot to no avail.

Does turning flight mode on then off let it come back online? The issue is a werid one, but has been popping up around the forums. I wish I had a concrete answer for you. When you Odin back to stock JFD firmware, it replaces the modem entirely and should set you back to how it came from the factory. If thats not working, I would go get my money back.
Could you fix your problem with the phone? I'm having the same problem here. The weird thing is that my phone is unlocked and it works with an AT&T sim card, when I try my T-mobile card, I can't make calls. I tried everything, flash back to stock with Odin, manual settings, Airplane mode off and on, around 10 different Roms, and a bunch other suggestions but I still can't make it work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.....

Did you check these settings under Mobile Networks--AccessPoint Names? Do you see T-Mobile US as the selection? If you do, make sure the settings are as described here.
Flashing to stock would have fixed any issues that were software related... sounds like you have a hardware problem. You should odin back to stock.... wipe data/factory reset.... then flash again just to be sure. I've had funky issues that this has helped in the past

Try flashing Eugene's froyo that does not brick, here it is, it might fix the problem. HERE it is, try it, maybe it will work.
I have "mobile networks not available" problem also.
I flashed theese roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1061889
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1021383
Problems are same for theese two problem.
1- There is no mobile network data. When i want to make call, it says, "mobile network not available".
I did the apn fix (set to default, reset etc.) No working.
I opened *#*#4636#*#* and do somethings explaning under "fixing network problems" threads.
Theese all not working.
I'm looking for help. This problem is not about sim card or operator(t-mobile etc.). Because a lot of people have same problem from all world. Every thidsd people using different gsm operators. So, fixing method with sim cards not working. This problem is about rom. Because, when downgrade to Android 2.1 or 2.2, there no problem. Please help.
2- Second problem is powering off it self every 15 minutes. All theese two roms have this problem. Not every time after 15 minutes. Sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after 40 minute (after boot).
2.1 and 2.2 also don't have this problem.
Please help.
There is a lot people on world using CyanogenMod. And they are flashing this rom with same method with rom manager.
Why this rom have problem about mobile network and powering of.
Thanks.

I just flashed simply honey 5.1 and now i cant recieve calls or even get a data signal. help? i seem to be having the same problem with anything simply honey 3.8+
Back to stock (Odin), and than try reflashing. Looks like bad flash. Unless you had bad luck like me and core files got messed up...
I have Odin'd back and reflashed twice now
My stock works fine, but whenever I flash I lose my data capabilities and I can't receive calls. Is that what it's like when your core files get messed up? If so, how to fix?
No, you have different problem than me than.... my does not connect at all in any rom.
sorry but your problem is beyond my knowledge, I would say that maybe bad download, but it seams you downloaded more that one rom so... sorry
Go to settings, network, mobile, check data, check roaming, then go to network operator, choose provider automatically.
After it finishes, go back and go to access point names and make sure you have the correct apn.
If not, please state the rom, kernel, and modem by going to settings, about.
After I checked Data and roaming and set it to choose automatically it said "registered on network" but when I went to APN it says no items.
I am using:
Firmware
2.3.4
Baseband
T959UVKB5
Kernel
2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVP-CL264642
Bullet-JVP-1.2Ghz-v5.4-voodoo#12
Build number
GINGERBREAD.XXJVR
Go to the Market, search for APN Global, install it and let it install your settings for your carrier. Let me know if you still need help.
Also, what is your carrier and which country? You have an I9000 kernel that's why I'm asking.
Hey, I noticed you folks were mentioning something like what I was having trouble with. My phone shows that I have a 3G or H connection; however, any app that uses data fails to connect. Any ideas on solving this? It seems as though Tomulek may have experience with my issue.
I went through and read everything in the Super Thread - twice.
I went through and flashed the stock Rogers ICS 4.0.4 rom to the phone and then rooted it by flashing the cwm kernal in the instructions. My phone is successfully rooted and it is not reverting to the stock android recovery.
I went through and disabled all the Rogers bloatware and restarted the phone and now it isn't enabling itself automatically. Score one for patience and good advice.
I use Petro Canada Mobility pay as you go. They are a reseller of Rogers and the price is right until my ISP launches their wireless service.
I went through and set the phone so that is uses gsm/wcdma bands only - no LTE as it isn't available in my province as of yet. I set up Petro Canada's APN settings and save. I restart the phone and the phone automatically defaults back to Rogers APN settings. The APN that I created is gone - *poof* I can't count how many times in the last 24 hours I have reset this phone
What the heck am I missing here cause I can't figure it out. Why won't it save my APN settings? I got the rest of the kinks worked out and now this??
Do the Bell and Telus versions of this phone have the same quirks cause if they don't, I'll gladly flash their roms.
Help please!
I would leave the network to auto.
When you make an APN and save it, then select it, it disappears?
Can you edit the default Rogers APN?
Is your phone carrier unlocked?

When I make an APN and and save it, it is fine until I restart the phone. The minute I restart the APN disappears. I can edit the Rogers APN and save the changes. When I restart, it reverts to it's default settings. It is not carrier unlocked. Because my mobility carrier is a reseller of Rogers, my sim card works with it. There was no need to unlock it.
It seems like you need to unlock it, because you can't use any other carrier's APN, you're locked on Rogers.
Have you rooted it? Since that is the cheaper route, maybe being rooted will let you permanently create the correct APN.
Yes I have it rooted. Still the same issue.
Run a good nandroid backup ....
Then enter the new APN into the device ....
Then delete the old APN , then reboot ...
If the new APN sticks, then run a new backup and delete the old one ...
These devices can be temperamental on occasion ....g
Edit :
And yes ...you may be locked at this point, and stuck on Rogers ...g
I went through and unlocked the phone, stuck in a Bell Sim card and it recognized it right away. I went through completely reset the phone again, entered in my APN settings, and restarted. The settings disappeared. I am told that the Bell, Rogers, and Telus variants are all the same so I am going to flash one of their roms on the phone to see if I have better luck.
Well I flashed a different rom - Bell and that fixed the issue. It was the stock rogers rom that was causing me grief.
So my next question is this - anyone have any ideas on what Rom is better? The Telus or the Bell one?
hey on my galaxy s3 i9300 Australian version. im with optus and was wondering if any 1 new how to fix the no data connection issue. i looked it up and people say its to do with the apn. so i have reset apn to default and it helped but now its back to no data. i reinstalled the stock firmware for it and it went good again for a lil bit but now the data is back to not working. the problem seems to be appearing on a few forums but i havent found a fix. my wifi and calling and texting works fine.
Contact your network provider, if you have the latest stock rom and modem installed for your country then only the apn settings need to be checked. You might possibly need a new SIM, but it's more likely to be the apn settings are wrong.
.....Also note if you have been Rom swapping make sure you keep Australian modem version as they are optimized for your frequencies, you should find them in the modem thread
