[Q] Packet Data not working with XXKG6 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. So a few weeks back I went from KG3 to KG6. Packet data was working fine on KG3(2.3.3) but when I would go to KG6(2.3.4) the packet data would not work. I did some searching on the internet and found a person that has the same problem, and luckily, also a solution. A little bit ago I had to factory reset my phone due to a boot loop error after flashing an update for a custom rom (Exynos Extreme 4.2). I am back on 3.5 base version, but my packet data will not work, and unfortunately I cannot find that thread that had the correct APN settings to allow my phone to work on KG6. If anybody knows anything about this or that thread I would greatly appreciate it. Oh, and I'm on AT&T HSPA+. Thanks.

Hi MColletti12!
Before you do anything it's always a good idea to back up your APN settings just in case something like this happens!
Hope you find the right APN settings.

[q][FIXED] P7500 Overcome 2.0 ROM - With No Internet Connection on 3g

I really like the overcome ROM for my P7500.
My only problem is that I have signal but still no Internet connection. Tried sending a SMS from my tablet, and it worked. But no Internet connection.
Had the same problem on Overcome v. 1.2.3. (Upgraded to Overcome 2.0.0 P7500JJKJ6 with full wipe... 2 times now)
Data is enabled, and made sure the APN was correctly setup...
Could it be the baseband that is wrong: XXKI1?
And Im quite sure I flashed the right ROM...
Please help me out... can't find any solutions to this one..
Thanks in advance
Attached photo..
-------------Update -------------
Tried restocking my device to Stock XXKL1 ............ Still no 3g :S
So maybe its not related to the overcome rom...
Going to call my telco tomorrow...
still open to suggestions..
------------update--------------
Fixed!
APN Settings was wrong.
I thin the overcome ROM it's not for 3g only for WI-fi, but you can check the site or ask in the forum in the Android development forum.
Thanks for your comment
Overcome is for both Wifi as well as 3g.
I've heard of some people having issues with their APN settings. You should check them, if you haven't yet. I use Overcome 2 as well and have no problems. Baseband is OK, I have the same on my tab.
EDIT: I've just seen that you have already checked that. Try to wipe everything again and start from scratch. Did you check file hash before flashing? Could also be a bad flash or download.
Now I'm at the end with my suggestions, sorry.

Thanks alot!
Just called my telco and they gave me a new APN setting.
It seems to work... Have no clue how the APN setting got changed by flashing a new ROM... No matter what, it works now.. Thanks !

[Q] Absolutely stumped - 3G/Image Caching

Hey all,
I am a previous Galaxy S user and now have the S III. I know my way around Android OS but am STUMPED here!
When wi-fi is OFF (mobile network), Google Play store wont render any images whatsoever. I can still get to apps, read description and buy them, but no images. Every now and then I get a "Error: no connection" error when previewing an app but when I retry it works (still no images though) - "Couldn't load Screenshots - retry"
The same is true for Foursquare and one or two other apps. I am not in a bad area - perfect reception and HSDPA.
Twitter and others do not have this problem, but the apps that do experience it are doing so continuously and without fail. I can not stop it happening, unless using Wi-Fi, which is not so often as I am moving around a lot.
I have cleared cache/data from several applications in the list, restarted phone etc etc.. I am avoiding having to do a hard reset here as much as possible as I have to travel this week and do not have time to re-do my all my apps etc etc..
Is there a way to clear DNS cache or something on these phones? It seems as though when using regular mobile network, certain apps get stuck and can't receive certain data while others have no issues whatsoever.
Please help guys - any suggestions are much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Wit
Same problem man tried everthing I've managed to find. Not much on the issue the issue though.

Change the dns settings. For wifi it's in wifi in settings then press the bottom left capacitive button on the phone and edit it. I'm guessing mobile network is also more or less the same.
Use 8.8.8.8 . Always works

SUCCESS!
Champion! That was it (sort of). Mobile settings > find your providers APN > clear Proxy settings. Using google public dns 8.8.8.8 anyways - dont trust these people

Broken proxy - seems to affect all android users - since APRIL. typical.
tx buffguy!
Typical. I work at one of the SA networks. Lol let's not get into which, but this isn't the first time they missed something like this when approving firmware, and you think call centre support would know about it. Half of them run a blank when you say "Ice Cream Sandwich ". Thanks to both of you though.

I had this problem. Try this
Settings - More settings - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names
Then make sure you are set to Internet and not WAP
eg Mine is Orange UK Internet and I was set Orange UK WAP and it was causing images errors and all sorts
I hope this solves it for you

Sent me mental when I 1st had my S3. It worked fine with my O2 SIM and on Orange it only loaded a few images on each page.
Finally found that setting as its been fine since.
It seems like the phone defaults to Orange WAP and not Internet. The O2 SIM caused a pop-up asking me which mode I wanted to use
Just told the mrs to do the same to her s3 lol and she sends a big thanks to you

Only thing I didn't do I guess was uninstalling the updates of the google play, still not loading the screenshots on 3g.

Well we did clean the proxy and we did make the dns 8.8.8.8 nothing seems to be working...
I use galaxy note, with 4.0.4 ics.
Please try to help me... I wasn't able to find any solution for this yet till now...

Hey buddy.
Wish I could give you a finite solution but I never really came right with this until I installed a custom Rom on my phone. Running stock I always had issues with the images in the play sore. I'm with Vodacom down here so dunno if it's network related.
If you go with a custom Rom I highly recommend the final ICS FoxHound 1.4.4 release. Been through many roms and this is by far the best as a daily runner.
Hope you come right man!

Hi buddy,
If you haven't found any solution yet:
I too am using Vodafone Mumbai network and started facing this problem quite recently (could have been just after I flashed LI5 ROM).
Anyway I scoured the net for solutions and found nothing that helped. So through some trial and error I found this solution:
Go to APN screen where you should have two APNs: "www" and "portalnmms".
Hit menu button and click on "Reset to defaults".
Then select "portalnmms" as the default APN.
Solved all issues for me!
I am having this exact same issue. Using Vodafone 3G in Mumbai on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Tried to set "portalnmms" as default APN but can't. Tried changing the "www" proxy to 8.8.8.8 but that didn't work at all. Is there a solution here?
8.8.8.8 is a dns server (powered by Google) not http proxy. You must either use your carrier's proxy settings or leave it blank

Check your APN Settings.
Usually when Internet and MMS don't work, it's an APN issue.
Google for the APNs for your carrier in your country and fill them in.
On the phone, Settings > Mobile Network > Access Point names.

Hey man, thank you for the answer! So I did what you said but nothing happened...
Any other ideas? I'm pretty sure it's ROM-related..

[Q] Can't use anything but wifi, please help!

I was playing with the *#*#4636#*#* menu in CMX and changed my band to Australia. I then lost all connectivity but wifi. I figured I'd just nandroid back to my fully functioning CMX - I was wrong. After restoring the nandroid, the phone still won't connect to anything but wifi.
I then saw this post and flashed meanbean to use the Sense dialer.
None of the instructions worked! When I try to ##786# reset all my data, the phone will do its thing and then boot back up into meanbean and ask me sign in to my accounts.
The DEVICE_PROVISIONED=1 doesn't exist in my build.prop as seen in this post so I can't use the simple method. :crying:
Any help is greatly appreciated. I only have wifi while I'm at work, so in 5 hours I'll be screwed.
EDIT: Almost fixed it! I nandroided back to CMX and tinkered with some more advanced settings. I figured I can't hurt anything more than I have. It's now connecting to the network and 3G, but says it needs activated. Finally, progress!

Thanks guys, I did get it fixed. Once I got some sort of connection reestablished I needed to activate the phone. I called Sprint customer service from my work phone and they refreshed all my data/connections. That allowed me to connect to the network, but not use it (if that makes any sense). I then downloaded the deodexed stock rooted JB ROM from here. After flashing that and booting into it, it said "hands free activation" and then starting updating the PRL before asking me to set up my accounts.
Hopefully my story helps anyone who gets caught up in this issue.
One more thing, upon reinstalling my cmx nandroid, I checked the build.prop file and it had the DEVICE_PROVISIONED=1
I changed it and that's how I got the phone to reconnect to the network (still no use of the signal though at that moment). That's when I flashed to the stock rooted ROM and everything was fine from there.

this should be posted in op of liquid smooth so the developer can be made aware of it and also reported on bug tracker so a fix can be worked upon. by posting here general public will help but the developer might not. just a suggestion for now and future references to rom issues

Thanks for the tip man but I can't post on developer pages for some reason I think cuz I haven't posted enough? I'm a newbie or whatever but all I had to do is UPDATE ROM to 2.2 and it works fine! Must be on 4G though for me
update to 2.3 and working
I'm shure that you now WiFi or mobile data must be ON when whant to send an MMS!
