hi there
my gf bought a htc legend when we were living in australia on vodafone network and all worked fine.we have just come back to the uk and have put a new sim in on 3 network.it will make calls text and conect to wifi but will not allow data traffic it just says connecting on the mobile data tab but never does.the sim card allows data has i have tried it in my phone.
any ideas of what i need to do,is it because its from australia,will it work over in the uk,should it,or do i need to do something to the phone to allow data,
any help would be good.
thanks
is the phone unlocked? can it run another sim other then the vodafone one?
or in youre new location youre still on vodafone network?
most likely the phone doesn`t know how to configure the apn for the data
google your network`s android apn and go to settings wireless networks mobice connection set apn create a new one or change the existing one while the phones mobile connection is turned on
Yep, I can confirm this problem may be fixed by identifying and filling in your APN for your network.
I had the same problem, as well, this fixed it.
Thanks allot for the help guys, done it and it works fine now.

Hello,
I have an unlocked AT&T motorola atrix 4g mobilephone in Spain. If I put inside it a Vodafone SIM card I can connect to the internet (3G) without any problem after setting the APNs, but when I try it with a Euskaltel SIM card (an Spanish virtual mobile network provider that uses the Vodafones network) I can't connect to the internet (3G) even if I set the correct APNs.
The problem is not the SIM card because it works in a Nexus S after setting the APNs, and as I have said, the Atrix also connects to the internet with a Vodafone SIM card. But Euskaltel+Atrix doesn't work.
The wierd thing is that after I set the APNs, or activate the internet roaming, sometimes appears the arrows that it is connected but just for a few seconds and then dissapear, but even with the arrows if I open quickly the web browser it claims that doesn't have internet connection.
I have tried with other ROMs and the same thing happens, and also with an AOSP ROM like CM7 beta, there is no way to make it work.
Does any one have any kind of clue to solve this?
Regards and thank you

Try creating a new apn & call the first field "euskaltel" & the second one "internet", leave the rest as they are, click save & activate it. That worked for me a couple of months ago with a yoigo card.
It doesn't work, but thank you anyway
Hi
I recently received a replacement handset from Orange due to a cracked screen.
During Hurricane Bawbag we had a power cut, but as I still had signal and laptop battery I decided to use wireless tethering. I could connect to the phone but could not receive any data. I also tried wired tethering and got the same result. I have no problems receiving data on the phone itself.
With my previous x10 tethering worked fine, it was debranded to generic UK. I'm not sure if this is why it worked? I'm out of contract now and due an upgrade from Orange. When they get a phone I want, I will be giving the x10 to a friend so I would rather not mess about debranding it again.
Anyone know of a solution to this problem without debranding?
Thanks in advance for any help.

you should search the forums before posting, but anyway...
yeah, orange added a new APN..
the existing APN's were "orangeinternet" used for your mobile data...
and "orangemms" used for MMS messages...
the additional APN now included is "consumerbroadband" which is automatically used when tethering, either via wifi or usb, but orange only allows data through this APN if you purchase a tethering bundle....
the work around for this is easy, u just need to edit the consumerbroadband APN and change it to oranngeinternet settings, so tethering will work as if it was your phone....
recent orange branded handsets do not allow you to edit these settings, but if this is the case, just hit menu and "add APN" and create another APN with the same settings and it will work..
settings can be found here...

Hi
My phone is Star OneM92 dual sim Chinese S3 clone running 4.1
I'm experiencing a problem with my Virgin (UK) sim. The phone is automatically throwing it in to roaming mode. The "r" sign comes up at the signal bar.
I've checked with Virgin and they confirm no roaming charges apply as its a domestic sim. Of course when I told them the phone is copy they immediatly threw a fit and I got a lecture how I should never of you one in the first place.
Its dam annoying when I make a call. I have to confirm I want to use a roaming sim.
I've tried different positions and other sim cards from O2 and Vodafone and they work fine.
Can anyone shed any light on to this and advise how I can get around this.
By the way, I know I shouldn't of got a clone and yes I'm a noob and all that. Apologies for my inexperience in advance

I have an unlocked ATT One X+, it's stock rooted. I'm traveling in China right now and trying to get a SIM card to work... calls work fine, but data does not.
Mobile Data is ON
I've tried turning Data Roaming both On and OFF
Tried rebooting phone of course
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks!

Ended up figuring this one out. If I try a new SIM card long enough, eventually the network provider texts a message to the phone with information about setting up the APN (Access Point Name) for the mobile data connection. I've never had to deal with that before, so it was new to me.
All I had to do to go to the Access Point Name ('APN') settings and change the Authentication Type from its default 'Not Set' to 'None'. After that, my internet is working fine.
It would appear this may be an issue common to a number of Chinese phones, so hopefully this will be of use to other people in the same situation.
Hi guys, I'm having this bizarre problem that I hope you could help me with.
I currently have an iPhone 5S, SGS4 and HTC One and share a single sim card between all three phones.
In my home country my SIM card is able to access data on all 3 phones with no problem.
However, when I go abroad and use data roaming, only the iPhone is able connect, both android phones are unable to connect at all.
I checked the APN settings and all seem to be correct.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Have you enabled data roaming in settings..!??
If you are using a custom rom you can find it in settings - - > more - - >mobile networks... Tick the data roaming option... I've never tried data roaming as I don't travel much... But that might help you..! [emoji106]

Yup it's ticked for sure. On the HTC it says that APN settings are incorrect, on the Samsung the phone just refuses to connect. If I move the SIM to the iPhone, data roaming works flawlessly!
When I'm back home, I have zero problems with either phone, which leads me think this is either an Android problem, or a SIM card problem.

Then I guess it has something to do with APN's... Maybe it requires different APN's for roaming... And somehow iPhone has them by default and android doesn't.... Contact your service provider and get the apns..!! That's my best bet.... Good luck
