I can't seem to do data on the phone and It seem's to not even get 2g working.
I am on the pay as you go plan 500mb to start to see if it worked and so far it has not. I have never had a real smartphone before so any help would be good.
You turned on your packet data in the Wireless and Network -> Mobile networks settings?

yes and it does not work.
Did you install custom rom ?
If Yes - that particular rom has wrong APN settings.(search forum for default ATT APN settings enter manually )
If NO - no idea whats your problem.

I just got the phone to day and it runs very well, so no custom rom. It's a 3G sim as well. I took it out of my KRZR and put it in the s2. It may not have the right setting's. I am starting to think the phone itself may have a dead 2/3/4g chip. (I don't know alot about cell's ok.)
You tried the Network operator and waited until Select automatically was available?
Yes and that did not work.
EDIT: HELP would be good.
AT&T data settings have been debated at length in this thread, with several members posting their AT&T APN settings for others to try:

I did not mean to seem ungrateful. I have done alot of thinking before hand about geting this phone. I just don't have alot of hand's on with smartphone's and I am more the hands on type ok.
Edit: it was on Wap.cingular when I got it and put the sim in.( so that did not work. thanks for trying.)

I just ran the speedtest app and 3g poped up, and then died in 30 sec. I am just ?????????????????.
I tryed puting on phone and it did not work. I may try calling AT&t to see if anything can be done. I know it's a risk, but I want data on the phone.)
Edit: I can only seem to get 3g runing the speedtest app and if I trun wifi off, then it won't work. I don't know of anything more I can try, so I will try to get my $ back from them.
The phone is faster than my p4 PC that I had 3 years ago.
I don't know what unlimted data plan would work.
I don't get why the 3g/h+ will come up for 3-5 sec and then just wifi and then I can't use 2/3g/h+ to do anything. I am unsure what the isuse is with my data plan and I may have to do a hotspot from sprint or something.(I would not want to do it this way if I can.)

After e-mailing AT&T and finding out that, "After reviewing the coverage for your area it shows that you do have the best of our 3G coverage", I can't seem to pick up anything but E..
So... do I have a problem with my settings or are they bs'ing me..?

If it is an AT&T branded phone and you have an AT&T SIM card, why would you think that your settings are messed up? Have you rooted your phone and installed a custom ROM? Even if you did, the custom ROMs that are available for the Aria should have the correct AT&T settings.

OK, first I would do a 'nandroid' backup to save your current configuration. Then I would do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset and then see if you can then pick up a 3G signal. Depending on which custom ROM you have loaded, it will either show up as 3G or H (if you are running CM7). If you still can't get a signal, I would take it to AT&T and see if they can figure it out.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* on the phone. A menu will come up. Select Phone Information. Scroll down a little bit and there is a dropbox that says "Set preferred network type:"
This setting should be set to "WCDMA preferred". If it is not set to that, change it to that then hit back to get out of the menu, and see if the 3G works after that. It might help to restart the phone after doing this.
If that doesn't do it, try finding someone else you know with an AT&T SIM card, and try putting it into your phone to see if you can get 3G. If it's a very old SIM card, consider asking for a new one.
Also, double check underneath the battery. Does it say A6366 or A6380?

Sounds like a defect in the phone to me. If I were you, I'd probably re-install the factory default RUU. (Make sure you use the 2.1 one, NOT the 2.2 one. As long as you use the 2.1 one, you will still be able to root the phone again.) If you want to retain your current settings you can take a nandroid backup. After rerooting the phone you can restore it.
If 3G still doesn't work, get it exchanged. Was this a recently purchased phone?

Ok before all that, I just restored the nandroid ,from before when I was told to backup then wipe to see if I'd pick up the 3G, and after it boots up it just starts bringing up force closes of apps continuously... I can't do anything but force close the stuff that pops up.. (it seems to be all the apps that I had pre wipe that are causing the problems... I can't use my preferred launcher or even the keyboard [smart keyboard pro] that I had set, gmail doesnt seem to be working either)
Also this phone is a couple months old, I got it for free because I stayed with AT&T after they acquired the local phone company. It's not a huge problem that I can't get 3G as I can access wifi most of the time, but me and a friend were looking at T-Mobile and saw a joint plan we liked but I knew I wouldn't be able to receive 3G with T-Mobile, I then remembered I had never even gotten 3G with AT&T

Hi all,
First time poster, long time follower!!
I'm hoping someone can help me here because i have a real headache with my galaxy s2.
When i got it at Christmas everything was perfect. But two weeks later i suddenly lost my 3g. Phone works fine on 2g (except for the slow speed), but i contacted my carrier 3Ireland and they said everything is fine on their end. My APN is perfect, i've tried toggling airplane mode, entering codes, data package checks. You name it and i've tried it.
When i force my phone to select 3g it looses all signal and i have to restart my phone and quickly go back into settings to choose 2g or i will loose signal again.
This is the following on my phone.
Android version 2.3.5
Baseband version I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version [email protected] #2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
I've being reading about modem/radios lately, is that just the baseband? Could that be my problem. I'm a noob at this kinda thing.I just want my 3g to come back.
All help is greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you all.
Thanks.

It would be interesting to know your SGS2 is white version as well as mine.
I have to say that I have another SGS2 but old black version which is perfectly functional on the same 3 network. After playing a very long times with both phones settings, I have a feeling that the core of the problem lies in the "APN type" setting. Changing it's content affects how it connects to network. I have no deep understanding of what is happening behind the scene while changing this option, but there is a possibility that the portion of file system responsible for it somehow been damaged.
It would be great if the developers could tell us if this part of the Android file system is changed while flashing different firmware/radio, or it is persistent?

Dial *#*#4636#*#*, go to phone information and see the settings for the radio. It should be at the bottom. Google the settings for the GSM, WCDMA. Mine is currently 'GSM auto PRL'. 'WCDMA Preferred'is also a better option for 3G network.

Thank you. I fiddled with GSM, WCDMA settings as you said, but no luck.
What is even more interesting is if the network mode is set to "WCDMA only", then I'm not even able to register on 3 network. After an attempt to manually connect to 3 via "Network Operators" menu, it says "Unable to connect. Try later".
Also after connecting via WCDMA, and then reverting back to GSM, the GSM dies as well. The only solution is to restart the phone.
If it is a software bug, then I do not understand why this problem did not go away after flashing different Rom with radio.

guys....carriers can't sell a device that is advertised as a 3g capable phone. Call them and spit "misleading advertising" mixing "give me a phone that I can actually use" words. You could also add "Release me from my contract, I'm moving to other 3g WORKING carrier".

T-Mobile USA?
If yes, you're probably in a market that they have not yet re-farmed the 1900mhz frequency for HSPA+ yet. The i9100 doesn't get 1700mhz, and the majority of T-Mobile USA's network uses the AWS band, which requires both 1700 and 2100mhz to work for 3g/"4g".
Hi everyone,
My wife just got a FREE HTC Titan II from the MS Challenge today. I guess they were completely out of stock on the HTC Titan so they gave us the Titan II.
Now being an Android guy myself with no interest in coming to Windows phone I am very new to the whole windows phone world. I do have a couple questions that I don't see in the thread that I would like to ask, everything else I think I can handle with the search button.
First, my wife and I have T-Mobile and we would like to unlock the phone to use on T-Mobile. I am very aware that I am not going to get 3G or 4G until next year, but in the mean time whats the best recommended place to get a unlock code that would work for this?
Second, Is there currently, or in the works a plan to port Android to the HTC Titan II. If so and direction/links or info would be awesome.
Third, is there anything else that anyone can think of that I would need to fun this phone on T-Mobile?
The search button didn't work all that great for me, so thank you everyone for this very noob question.

1. There are some Threads about unlocking sites .. One Two
2. No, Even though the Sensation XL is very similar I highly doubt android will ever run on the Titan II... Sure if alot of interest was taken on the Titan II and talented developers jumped ship then sure anything is possible.. But its a lonely place around here.
3. Besides having it sim unlocked you can download "Connection Setup" from the HTC apps in the Market to load the proper APN's and MMS settings.. Once you have those setup you shouldn't have data issues.
Thank you so much!!! Really helpful. I really do hope with the Windows Challenge thing alot more people join this Dev section.

I think connection setup will feed in the pre-entered APN settings automatically.
However, if after connection setup + reboot - you don't get the 3g connection then you might have to add the APN manually. But I highly doubt you would have to do anything manually.

Gotcha, thank you.
You shouldn't have to mess with APNs. Just get HTC Connection Setup and let it run -- it will configure everything correctly and you will have data (2G in this case due to the UMTS frequency discrepancy between AT&T and T-Mobile), SMS, and MMS.
I have done this as recently as yesterday with a Titan and a Radar.

Not sure yet, I will try later today and see.
Does the titan II need to be unlocked to use the htc connection setup's manual features? I have straight talk and the ATT APN works for accessing the 4G but doesn't allow picture messaging. Is there another apn editor I can use or do I have to unlock to access those settings?
Good question, I honestly don't know. I would assume not if all it does is update the APN.

i just cant figure out why i get no service and its unlocked i have a tmobile sim card in it but i cant make calls or nothing everything else works fine except it wont connect to tmobiles mobile network i think in network operators tmobile doesnt even show up only at&t
if some one can help me resolve this issue it would be greatly appreciated thanks you
Go under mobile networks and do a carrier search and see if T-Mobile pops up. Are you in a good coverage area? If it says emergency only then you're probably connected to AT&T towers (which shows your radio works, so that's not the issue)
settings -> more (under wireless and network) -> mobile networks -> Network operators -> scan for networks

Even though you have bars, doesn't guarantee that you are on the T-Mobile network. You can also get bars on other networks if T-Mobile isn't available. This has happened to me before when I drove off in the mountains, and only AT&T was available (I'm on T-Mobile), and I got 4 bars, but it still said "Emergency Calls Only" because I was on the wrong operator.

It happens everywhere I go when on my other phone I get full bars

Hey. Yani. Did you solve your problem?
Because I have same issue as you have.
I heard from one of my friend that upgrading gingerbread to ICS might work, so I did that as well. but still the same.
And just to let people know, I am not in the crappy tmboile coverage area. In my other phone, I get five full bar reception with same tmobile sim card.
Any ideas?????
Different phones have different radios, get different amounts of service.
Unless your 'other' phone is another i777, theres nothing to compare.
does it really matter how good of service you get when you only get edge?
APN settings
Did you input the APN settings for T-Mobile? I unlocked mine and run it on Straight-Talk and I had to manually input the APN setting to get it to make and receive calls. Just speaking from my personal experience I would choose Straight-Talk over T-Mobile. You still get the same service as AT&T but its only $45 a month for unlimited everything including data. Just check your APN settings man. Make sure your T-Mobile one is selected if you've already input everything.

Yeah, dude. It does matter to me.
I am trying to set this up for my old man, and he really doesn't care about 3G/4G stuff.

Yeah. I tried that and getting a little bit better service. I will try it on Monday because at work see if it is better.
If it doesn't, I guess I have to sell this phone, since I tried almost everything I could.
Thanks for letting me know about Straight-Talk, but I have to stay on T-Mobile. I had a deal with T-Mobile for $100 unlimited txt and data for 4 lines. So I can't switch over for 2 yrs....
anyway, thnx for the advice and will update on Monday night.
Any Resolution?

Hey shpchunjae, did you ever get this figured out? I'm fighting the same problem now (trying to get my i777 to connect to the T-Mobile network) and I'm not getting anything - voice, text, or data. The SIM card works in another T-Mobile phone, so that's not the issue.
Thanks!

never seemed to listen to me before, why should you start now.
maybe you should just make sure phone does everything you want it to do before you leave store???
cause nothing seems to ever work for you
Sorry but if Im connected to wifi everything works i think i might have the apn in wrong or something but when i try to Google this exact apn the only one i found was the bottom half of the apn also if i use a diff apn that only gives me 1x rarely 4g then i can go to the playstore i know there's gotta be a simple fix for this lol

honestly, you are just having sooooo many problems that others don't seem to have. why don't you let AT&T do the work. it just seems to me that you have purchased a phone that has way too many issues. let them be responsible for selling you something that does not work to your satisfaction or give you something that does work.
maybe its just me, but these phones aint cheap. if something doesn't work like it is supposed to, im gong to make them fix it.
