So yesterday I followed these instructions to fix up my internet speed...
Everything was fine most of the day but then somehow I lost all data in the evening.
I'm 99% sure its due to some kind of phone setting issue, because if I try and access internet services it fails literally the nanosecond I try and access - suggesting its not even trying to talk to the network.
Could someone please help and advise of all the exact settings I should have set up in the "Wireless and Network" section , particularly for "Mobile Networks", "Use Packet data" and "APN"?
or if anyone knows why my net would be failing as it is, that would be a great help!
someone pls help!!

Hi. I am hoping someone may have some insight. I am on Simply Honey 3.9 and have an unlimited data plan. When I am not on the wifi, I get no Internet access via the the Android browser or Firefox. So basically if I try to use any app that needs internet access, I get an error. I first thought maybe its the rom, but I tried a few. Am I missing a setting? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

check your apn
settings > wireless and network . mobile network > access poin names
click menu then reset defaults if there isnt anything there and make sure spn type's internet + mms
You are the man. Thanks for the help. 100% solved.
I'm hoping someone can help explain to me the process for accessing a data network in India. I'm currently on a prepaid data plan with Airtel and while I get the H+ symbol, I still can't access the data network. I've searched and I guess I need to change/create an APN, however, I'm not sure how to go about this. I've called Airtel several times, but all they tell me is that the phone is too new and they don't know how to configure it.
So, essentially, what settings do I need to change to be able to access Airtel's 3g data network in India?
Thanks!
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
Even just a link to an applicable thread would be helpful!

I got the same problem sir, please follow my instruction on how to configure the 3G network.
1. Go to "Settings -->Wireless & networks"
2. Tab "Mobile networks"
3. Tab "Access point names"
4. Go to "New APN"
5. Give the name as "Mobile Office"
6. APN as "airtelgprs.com"
7. Switch OFF your mobile phone
8. Turn it on(IF it did not work, then pop out your sim once and insert it again)
9. Now you can access the 3G
Please ask my help if you need thanks
Sir, you're first post and you're already my hero, that worked great! Thanks for your help!

You are welcome sir
For some reason, I can't get 4G anymore, even when other people in my office (with VZW) are showing a strong signal. I have tried battery pulling, a simply power off/on, and even a restart. Doesn't fix it. My phone IS rooted. I can connect to wifi, but I can't get a data connection when it is off.
So right now, all I have is voice without Wifi. When I send or receive an MMS, the 4G icon will display in the notification area, then disappear when the download is complete.
Can anyone help me? I don't know what to do to get it back.
I have VZW with Unlimited Data
Thank you in advance!

Well, I ended up calling Verizon and after having them search on their internal forums, they figured out the issue. Apparently, I changed the "Access Point Name" to something else other than "VZWINTERNET" and I lost complete access to all data networks (EVDO, 3G, 4G).
So, because I hate it when I find a post that has a problem I'm having, and the original poster says "I'll call Verizon and write the solution here when I get it" and you never hear back from them, I'm going to post my solution for the next guy.
Basically, the Access Point Names option is under Settings > Connections Tab > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. It should display only one option, and it should say "LTE - Verizon Internet", and under it, it should display "VZWINTERNET". If you change this value, by clicking on it, you go to another screen that says "Edit Access Point" at the top. You can change only one thing, and that is the APN name.
DO NOT CHANGE THIS VALUE. If it is anything other than "VZWINTERNET", you will lose all data access completely, that is, unless you're doing something Advanced that requires you to change it, and you know what you're doing. Also, if you factory reset the phone, it WILL NOT change this value back to the default. It will stay the same...so...something to think about.
In any case, I hope this helps the next guy with the same problem.
Hello,
Recently I got new Phicomm FWS610 phone, but I have problem with internet connection. Wi-Fi works great, but GSM or 3G not working at all. I have data plan, but when I enable it I still don't have internet. APN settings is ok and sim card too, because another phone works fine. Next problem is that when I try to manual search for network it show error. I'm using android 2.3.7. Where start fixing this problem?
EDIT: In notification area there is "no service" but I can make calls and text messages
bump. I really need to know if this hardware or software problem
bump.
i followed the thread made by whoareyou and i got the 4g network option and even put in the apn but nothing seems to work. i also get notifications that the voice and data are restricted. everything im doing so far is new to me but i cant get this to just work. if anyone could help me it would be much appreciated. when i turn the network app off and back on for a second it says in service then right back to emergency calls only if that helps anything to figure this out
i'm experiencing the same proble. I got the network to say 4G, I put in the proper APN for t mobile, but nothing. I put in the lines of code again in the cmd prompt because it worked for some people on the second try, still nothing. Please help!
