Whilst using the root for my xperia x10 I ran into a problem, I couldn't use data on apps other than my browser(couldn't download anything either) but the only way to fix this is to go to Settings>Wireless Controls> Mobile Networks>Access Point Names... from there delete GoRogers, then press you options button and select New APN, put in Name- Rogers, Apn- rogers-core-appl1.apn, then save and you 3g access will be once more. Hope I helped, have a cheeky day
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this is only on the rogers network, sorry..
Edit: if core-rogers-appl1.apn didnt work call rogers to refresh network.

Sure it's faster, but without entering your MMS settings, I'm guessing you aren't able to send MMS messages (e.g. picture texts)?

Faster, simpler and incomplete. You're missing the MMS settings.
Just in case someone looks in here and doesn't look anywhere else, these are the settings:
Code:
Rogers Internet
rogers-core-appl1.apn
not set

my way.
After rooted to Build Number R2BA023, my 3G was not working.
So here is what i did ... by common sense (NO DISRESPECTED TO ANYONE).
Restart the x10i > goto into setting > Wirless controls > Network operators > Select automatically > then Auto internet settings > choose your operator (ie vodafone contract, PAYG etc).
Then my 3g is working .... easy, no fucing about with setting or inputting stuffs.
Oh yes, I am on vodafone contract with UK network. Dont know if this will work in different region.
Let us know.

Glad to hear you got yours working Not sure if you noticed though, this post pertains to Rogers and the x10a in Canada. Sometimes the option to automatically get the settings fails due to the fact we're using a generic ROM.
im on 3 AUS. i went and did all those steps, but i still cannot get my 3g up..

the last part is very true.
with the auto-settings my 3g was slow and either than browsing no other internet function would work. i used the settings for 3g for rogers i found on the internet and everything works, and fast and now the market works on 3g(couldn't get it to work on 3g with the auto-settings).
dam this is a good fix!
is there a difference between entering rogers-core-appl1.apn and internet.com for Rogers apn in Canada?
internet.com just allows data to work, while the core-appl1 apn allows both data and mms to work.
the auto select apn feature sets up rogers phones with the goam.com access point, not internet.com or appl1. not sure what the difference is but the goam.com only seems to allow the browser to work. might be for those plans that allow unlimited mobile web surfing for cheap price?

Thanks for the clarification not a clue about goam.com, my phone is set up with internet.com and media.com separately, no problem so far, just my account not showing data anymore, that scares me a little hehe

until last week i too was adding both the internet.com and media.com apn manually, but it is a lot less work just adding the combined apn, especially when flashing back and forth, and back and forth again, with different roms.
you definitely do not want to use an android device without a data account, so if you have access to data but no data plan you could be setting yourself up for a huge bill!!
I'm not sure if this is just me or what... but ever since I have rooted, rogers My Account app wont show my data usage. It says 0mb used, when clearly I've used it way more... even downloaded apps using 3g from the market. I used the internet.com apn. Also it doesn't display my data usage on the rogers site either.. it says 0mb again. I can see all my minutes that I've used for voice and my texts but data sais nothing used. Am I somehow spoofing my data usage to rogers? I'm confused.

Good question. Will have to wait until my invoice is released in order to see how and if they are calculating my bandwidth as I am having the same issue. My invoice comes out tomorrow.
Edit: If it turns out it truly is this easy to game Rogers data usage... lets just keep it our little secret.

I was trying to input the correct AT&T APN's in my X10 and so I looked on my wifes phone (hers is identical to mine) and I found that she didn't have any APNS listed either!
My question is; what purpose do APN's serve and how can we be going along perfectly without them?
On official AT&T Firmware I believe that it is automatic. You have an APN, or you wouldn't be able to access data. Sort of like your Internet Provider at your home.
So have apns but just can't see them?
I noticed that after I input them, I started getting the "H" and the up/down arrows...this wasn't there before when it was blank...it was just a little antenna icon...
they are like login name and passwords to different Providers servers.

The little antenna icon is bluetooth. You do understand that the APN is needed for data and Internet, not for Wifi, sms, phone calls, camera, etc.
You have an "H" now because the APN settings you input. You are now on the HSPA (3.5G) network and can use your data plan. You could also see an "E" for Edge or 2G, or 3G for 3G network. If you don't have one of those symbols, then you probably can't access the internet, not including when using Wifi.
Just to be clear: I'm referring to the:
settings> wireless>mobile networks>access point names.
There was nothing in their before...and I typed some things in that I found on the forum for ATT...
How could my phone work fine if there is nothing in this list?
Also....like I said; after I put in the ATT information...all of a sudden I got an "H" with the upload/download arrow indicators where previously there was none except a "signal" looking icon next to the wireless bars.

Well...this partially solved my problem of barnacle not working.
Now when I fire barnacle up it says it's running and beaconing an ad-hoc network....the only bummer is my laptop or my transformer don't see it.

Use wifi at home or at Hotspots. Wifi is usually faster and it's free. Use H data when on the road, but it costs money for data. Especially if you don't have an unlimited data plan.
Btw, you shouldn't have to manually enter the APN Settings. Just follow path settings / Sony Ericsson / Auto search for internet settings.

Wow...everything working now...I had somehow gotten ahold of a stock wpa_supplicant file....I replaced it with the "ad-hoc-friendly" one from the transformer thread and now I can connect.
My APNS are happy, I'm happy, barnacle is happy....thanks very much for the help.
Hi all, i've been having this problem with my Sony Ericson xperia Play.
My bills came in as a hefty $$ bomb. I do not have data plan, so all internet activities are charged at GPRS connection rate. I've had my mobile network switched off, so there's no possibility that applications would still connect to data? Or there is? i only use my phone for smsing and dealing calls.
I called my service provider up, and they told me that my phone's internet activity is active and running. have you guys ever encountered such problem? Could anyone please enlighten me?
Thanks in advance to all.
Usually there arent any problems like this for android. And just to
make sure, the box u checked off was in Settings>Wireless & Networks>
Mobile Networks>Data enabled right?
Normally once you get a phone, the data will automatically on. So normally I will boot up without sim at first, then switch off data.
(I've unlimited plan btw)

Hmm normally on as in, everytime you switched it on. The data runs automatically even when i unticked Data Enabled??

You could always use an app that will not allow any apps to access the network. ie a firewall like (droid wall for rooted users). That would eliminate your problem. There are many apps out there which need permission to access the network, including the stock email, google maps, the market, and etc.
I'm of the same mind as the previous posters. But if you see data being used ie. the 3G symbol or whatever your data symbol is and it lights up or is present when the check mark on mobile data is off then it's not actually off. In other words if you don't see only the cell singal bars you could be using data. Hope that helps.
Edit: Also you said "SMSing" would that also include pictures or video in your defn of that? If so those are data. At least in the U.S. they are.
There is a program called APNdraoid or sg like that. this program modifies the apn settings and dont allow your phone to connect to mobile internet. btw you can manually change the apn settings from Settings->Wireless&Networks-> Mobile Networks->Access Point Names. all you have to do is to modify the settings (add some text to the end of the apn row)

To avoid data charges (and seems that you don't have a data plan), I would suggest delete all your APN settings under Access Point Name in Mobile network settings.
If the problem still occurs, you can call your operator to disable internet access from your mobile account.

Thanks for the suggestions ! i'd just go ahead and change the apn ! But i still can't find the root to the problem. It's like paying for something i had never used at all ..
Btw, I am curious that if you tried to load a webpage in your browser when mobile network is unticked? If you did, does it load?
I noticed that I don't receive emails on gmail while connected to 3G. Works fine on wifi. 3G also works fine (for example if i open the browser i can browse fine and even if I manually sync gmail i receive the emails) I just never get the notifications. This also seems to be the case with other apps like facebook.
Is there some setting somewhere I could be missing?
I have sync on for both google account and facebook.
any ideas?
is it possible this is operator dependent? I have a friend with Galaxy S2 and has the same issue.
(also can a moderator please move this topic to Q&A)
Could be APN related. I had to remove proxy yo get tapatalk to work amongst other things.
Do your APN use a proxy? Try remove proxy and proxy port. Write em down first, in case it doesn't help.

I checked, no proxies set - so thats not the case.
I did a factory reset,went through the setup process adding only samsung and google accounts. I tested it by sending an email to myself, while connected to wifi i got the notification instantly, I disconnected wifi and checked that i can access the web through the browser, then sent another email to myself and got no notification.
I read somewhere that the connection bars should be blue if there is a connection to google services. is this true for the s3 stock rom ?
ok i fixed the problem. for anyone else who might have the same issue in the future (i guess on any android ICS based phone) the problem is caused by incorrect APN settings, the default ones the operator shows on the phone were wrong, i simply had to add a new APN with APN Name: internet and no other settings (I assume this is operator dependent)
The APN should be stored on your SIM-card and can usally be requested through USSD-code to have a configuration SMS sent by your provider.
Alternatively you can just call them and request a configuration SMS.

Yes. However note that some providers are so sneaky (and/or lazy) as to have multiple access points which are billed differently. So check with your operator if that is actually the correct one, not that you are billed per Kilobyte and get the shocker of your life with the next bill.
I need to use a separate APN for work which only allows access to internal servers and no access to the internet. I'm wondering if it's possible to for certain apps to use the work APN and everything else goes through the internet APN.
If the above is not possible are their any decent widgets that I can use for switching between APNs?
My phone is a Note 2 SGH-I317M with JB4.1.2.
If what you need is "carrier specific" then Tweakker is the best aPN switcher on the market.

I don't need a carrier specific APN, I's like to be able to use multiple APNs at the same time but specify which app uses which APN.
I'm not switching between APNs on different providers, I'm switching between APNs on the same provider as I work for the provider and need to be able to access the private APN but I'd still like my apps that require internet access to work.
