[Q] Downgraded from HKTW 2.3.4, now I have no data. - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

AT&T Atrix. I unlocked and flashed to 2.3.4 and hated it. So I want to go back to gingerblur on 1.8.3.
I wiped data and cache and flashed a 1.8.3 SBF, and now I have no data on AT&T. (Wifi works though.) I get accurate bars and an H+ symbol, just no actual bits.
My Service State is "In service", "Mobile Network State" says "Disconnected". I can make phone calls.
Help?

You need to reprogram your APN back in. Same happened to me when unlocking.

Easier to leave it as is than to reprogram millions of phones.

About the same
I live in Chile, and i had the same issue...
I passed through several firmwares changes to get to hktw 2.3.4 gingerbreak.
The first time, i flashed 1.83 full sbf, and since then i had not have data conexion for see web pages. Almost every conected app worked fine, but there was no way to see a web page on any browser.
Apn was ok, as it always did...
Solution: just let blank proxy and port settings.
I post it here for anyone with the same issue...

[Q] No 3g Internet access on Att Xperia x10

So I recently flashed my att xperia from 16. to 2.1 and I've tried all the apn settings that you guys provided but none of them work. Still can't get on att 3g.
I did the automatic method and it comes up with 2 apn. The ones that my x10 pulled up from att are the following. One is MEdia Net and the other MEdia Net MMS that's it no more. My wife also has an x10 but is still on 1.6 and hasn't flashed hers to 2.1. When I go into her apn names her phone only displays one called ATT. I even copied her apn setting and deleted the other ones on my phone and I still can't get 3g not even an E or H like some people on the forum get post flashing to 2.1. Can anyone help. Please don't give me the common apn settings because they don't work. Someone who has fixed their 3g after the 2.1 flash help!

Was this the official update or the generic or world? did you do a battery pull? putting in the apn setting is all I needed to do, mind you I am on the nordic.. perhaps flashing it again will solve the problem.
Good luck!
download the firmware from this link and re-flash your phone. I am on AT&T and i used the same link to flash. everything works fine for me. In fact i am getting 'H' network on AT&T which is faster than 3G.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10738287&postcount=1
this is the same as mine
it should just be in the apn settings no. I don't want to reflash because everything works great except 3g. Here's the the firmware i used world.x10a_1.0_2_1_A_0_435.ftf.
Model number
x10a
Firmware version
2.1-update1
Baseband version
2.1.54
Kernel version
2.6.29
[email protected] #1
Build number
2.1.A.0.435
Everything sounds right. Try repair software on SEUS or PC Companion instead of flashing the same downloaded firmware. Don't worry, it won't put you back to 1.6, and it will give you a fresh install of official SE firmware. If that doesn't work it might be a hardware issue.
Also: on a side note. Did you use the flash tool and firmware from xda and unbrand, or did you get an official SE update from SEUS or PC Companion? I'm only asking because someone posted a comment somewhere else saying he thought AT&T was finally releasing the 2.1 multitouch update.

Y don't you call AT&T and ask them to resend the settings over the network?
You can just say that 3G stopped working for no reason.

I did use SEUS already and it did upgrade but still no 3g. I used the flash tool provided by Binary in the forums. Why would it be a hardware issue when it had 3g on it's original 1.6 att droid? It happened after downloading 2.1.
I have the x10a_1.0_2_1_A_0_435.ftf with mt already in it. What are your apn settings for att? Should i delete the MEdia Net and MEdia MMS and manually enter a new apn for ATT like on 1.6 att phone that i didn't fash yet? Heres what auto search put in.

You don't have the app APNroid running or some other data restriction running like a battery saving app or task killer, right? Even if you mess the apn up it will correct itself to media net and media net mms. Since it even downloaded the settings means something is working. Try settings / wireless & networks / mobile network / network operators / search mode / network search/ automatically search. It will search for a while, then it will give you 3G AT&T, 2G AT&T DR, and 2G AT&T to choose from. Select 3G and let it register. If auto doesn't work try manual network search. Also, try turning wifi off.

I think repair software will work. If not, then do what I said in my last post with register network operators. That isn't the same thing as apn settings. Those seem to be correct. Let me know how it goes.

still no H after repairing with pc companion.
it pulled up 3G AT&T, 2G AT&T DR, and 2G AT&T. I picked the 3G ATT and it registered but still no internet access on 3g. It has to be in the settings then. How do I check if APNdroid is running?

Settings: under mobile network "data traffic" should be checked and network mode should be set to "GSM/WCDMA preferred". Media Net should be selected in APN. Turn WIFI off. Register network with operator. Reboot.
Uninstall Apps: APNdroid is an app you would have downloaded yourself. If you have restored your market apps, uninstall any task killers, app managers, data, wifi, or battery apps. Make sure wifi remains off. Reboot.
If it does not connect after all that, it's probably AT&T not you. Especially if you can send/receive yourself a mms. Call them and tell them to test your data connection. Don't say anything about unbranding or updating. They don't need to know. Especially if under warranty. If they can't fix it, they won't be able to tell anyways. If they do fix it, don't give them time to notice.
I hope this works. I know how frustrating it can be. Last piece of advice, it is almost always something simple that you're missing. Let us know. Good luck.

The APN settings really don't matter as long as you have an APN wap.cingular.com. I've tried all different APN settings, including yours, and the phone always corrects itself to Media Net and Media Net MMS.
I really think it's AT&T that needs to re-establish network connection. It's not recognizing the SIM card or something like that. It happened to me before.
Edit: So what happened when you called AT&T? I'm guessing that was it by your absence.

[Q] Can't text on ATT branded X10 2.1

I had 1.6 on my X10 which was ATT branded. Since I was new to android and xda, I just followed a random tutorial of unbranding (or something) to get my phone to 2.1, because it was before the official att 2.1. I updated before I ever tried texting even on 1.6, so that may be the case, but I can't text at all right now. I thought maybe it was from screwing up during the 2.1 update. I'm trying to install the official 2.1 right now to try, but if that doesn't work, does anyone know how to fix this problem? I NEED texting
what do you mean texting doesn't work?
can you not send messages? Have you received any messages?
Need more details...
Sent from my x10 Platinum
I'll say as much as I can, but I'm a noob when it comes to phone so just ask if you need any more.
My contract lets me text, but when I try, it says "could not send". But I can receive them fine.
I have x10 2.1 unbranded right now, since maybe a year ago, used to have 1.6 att.
I think I rooted my phone... I should have, but not sure (lol)
I've never come across this problem before. But you might want to use flashtool to flash one of the custom roms skiing with the correct baseband. If you need help with this, send me a pm.

You need to set up your wireless apn go to menu/settings/sony ericsson/settings download then wait a few you will see it flash on then go to back button/wireless & networks/mobile networks/network mode/gsm/wcdma preferred (click it)/access point name there shoud be two, one wireless/one mmsc. if for some reason you have three make sure that the top one (the house icon) is checked or you will be roaming.

Okay well after clicking settings download, my only service provider is ATT. When I click that nothing happens for a while but then it ends up saying "Could not download settings. Retry?"
But while it's searching, I have 3 APNS, AT&T, ATT, and SEMC GPRS, which gets selected by default. After it says "Could not download settings. Retry?", all I'm left with is 2 APNs, ATT and AT&T. Both of which I put in manually.
I might just not know what you're saying, but i can't seem to make it work
Well try this these are my APNs in USA Calif. and ONLY change the settings i give you and the way they are (case sensitive) if your in this area if not find a friend an look at theirs.

Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but it didn't seem to work. What I did was delete my APNs, input yours exactly like that (and left everything else blank), and then settings download. Still didn't work I have H connection, and it does "connect", but even when I go on my browser, it says the url is blocked or something. I don't know what I did different but before this the browser worked fine, just texting wouldn't work. What about that [email protected] thing? I remember something about that. When I put those in, my browser worked fine.
Also one more thing. While trying to fix it, I thought I might as well update to 2.3 if I unbranded it already. But before that, when I was in 2.1, the text would instantly return with "could not send". Now, when I try to text, it says "sending" for a couple minutes and then after that says "could not send" again.
No do not Download settings again, you just put them in then Menu/save.
By downloading settings after you ether wiped the settings you just put in Or you have like to-many apns an your phone is freaking out trying too find the right ones.
But ya I would update the rom. An "I" would use Wolfs rom mo better faster.
Just watch the video can you can't go wrong then try the steps to setup your Apns
Also if you have a friend on the same network just look at his settings.

[Q] Can't connect to AT&T network?

Hi, I had T-Mobile up until a day ago when I finally got fed up with the slow EDGE speeds, so decided to go GoPhone (ATT).
However when I plug in the SIM card it says "Emergency calls only" and when trying to select the network manually it says "Unable to select network, try later". I'm running Cognition S2 1.51.
Help?
Thanks!

Where did you get the SIM card from? If you took the card from a $10 gophone phone, then it won't work. Those SIMs only work in the gophones I think. You need to get a regular SIM card from an ATT store. Tell them the card you have is broken and need a new one. Or get one on ebay for a dollar.
If you do go in a store, do not bring your phone and show them it.
Also, gophone might throttle your speeds. If you want faster speeds for $10 more, then try h2o wireless. They have a $60 for unlimited everything (there still is a data cap, not sure how much though) plan and a $50/mo talk, text, and 250mb of data plan. I don't think they throttle speeds. Also h2o wireless uses the att network, so you are getting the same service.
I have a go phone data plan that I can't get to work with this phone.
I went to a AT&T store and they said it should be working. They could not fix it and said to call 611. Help me too?
Thank's

Thank you for the help and it worked. I get h+/3g now and don't need wifi.

[Q] Newbie Fail, Renable 4g and network data?

I think I accidentally disabled network data when looking at network toggles the other night at home, on wifi. I just had received my phone, and didn't know what the toggle did (no labels). After all of that, I installed Launcher Pro, the least buggy , and now I have no 4g. I can't find the original widget that "disabled" my network data and can't figure out how to reset.
The steps I've taken:
> Confirmed i can call out
> confirmed internet connection down
> Reset APN to default settings on APN menu, shows at&t
> confirmed packet data checkbox is selected.
I show Network bars, but no 4g or 3g emblem. What is my next step to fix this and reconnect to data?

Signal Strength: -18 dMb
Mobile network type: Unknown
Mobile Network state: disconnected
I swear it has to be something I did with that toggle. How can I get this reset?
can an admin move this to general where it would get more exposure. I guess it's actually more Android OS related than phone specific and not enough people in this subforum to get an answer. I'd like my phone operable again
Verified APN for AT&T shows up. Got WIFI access and redownloaded the toggle from Go Launcher. Verified APN toggle highlighted. Still only show cell connection bars, with no 4g or 3g emblem or internet access on the mobile network. I haven't even tweaked the phone that much!
Never mind. AT&T said the data plan failed to setup, so I guess it wasn't my fault after all.

[Q] Unlocked Galaxy Note (i717) on ST T-Mobile Text (SMS) not working to Verizon

I've done some searching and didn't happen to run across anyone that was having a similar problem. Originally, I thought this might be a StraightTalk/Verizon issue, but I've confirmed that one of my family members with ST T-Mobile can text with Verizon folks just fine. So let me dive into the details...
I've had my StraightTalk T-Mobile sim card for about a week now. I activated it without any problems, set up the APN and everything seemed to be working just fine. I've been texting with a few family members and some co-workers without issues. My data and voice calls are all working fine as well.
I went to text a friend that has Verizon post paid service and he never got my text. So I sent a few more without success, then tried to text my own Verizon number (since my account is still active for the moment) and I never received my own text either. He sent me a text message that I received just fine though, but again he didn't get my response. Just to further test, I send an MMS message to myself and my friend on Verizon and that came through just fine, so it appears that all texting capabilities work with the following carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, ST T-Mobile) with the exception of regular SMS to Verizon.
Here are my APN settings:
Name: StraightTalk T-Mobile
APN: wap.tracfone
Proxy: Not set
Port: 8080
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http:**mms.tracfone.com (replace ** with //, since I can't post links)
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: Not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
About the phone... I purchased an AT&T Note (sgh-i717) and unlocked it myself. The unlock was successful but I was only getting edge data since T-Mobile has re-farmed the towers in my area yet. So, I installed CWM and flashed the Blaze4G radios. I'm now getting consistent signal and H+ speed (4-8 mbps avg, 14 mbps peak). The only other thing I had to change was that my phone number wasn't showing up in the About Phone -> Status section, so I went into the dialer -> Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number and set it there in the format of xxx-xxx-xxxx. I also just flashed the T-Mobile VKL1 radio as well but no change in my sms issue.
I'm a bit lost at this point on why everything else would work except for sending sms to Verizon but yet I can receive them from Verizon just fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Texts aren't immediate when the network is busy. Sometimes the delay can be several hours.
None of my Verizon messages are ever delivered, some from 3-4 days ago. I called Straight Talk tech support and they are tracing some of my messages. One of the things they thing might be wrong is the message center number that is configured in my phone but they didn't want to change it until after they could do further research.
Update: Confirmed the smsc is correct, so that doesn't appear to be the issue.
Just a follow up in case anyone else ever had an issue similar... a T-Mobile technician called me today, they found out Verizon had blocked my cell phone number from their network. After the tech got the ban lifted, texting is working just fine.
apn type question

That's interesting. And it sucks. You could have spent hours\days working on something you could never fix. Did they give any reason for your block? Glad you got it worked out.

You'll want to flash the T-Mobile ROM in the development section. Follow the instructions carefully.
