Im having troubles with my data connection. Basically, there isn't any data connection at all. Im sure that i have the correct APN. I can see the "E" (yes, its supposed to be E, its EDGE) next to the signal bars, but the upload/download arrows won't turn on. Its like its not even trying to connect. I can use WiFi fine.
I live outside US, in the Dominican Republic to be exact. Im using WetDream 1.4.4. Any solutions? Thanks!
Update: I tried with another SIM card with data enabled from another carrier, and the Atrix was able to connect to the data service fine, and i could access to the internet, but still no luck with my SIM. :\
BUMP =D
Try flashing a different kernel. I had the same problem and flashed faux's 1.3GHz unified kernel and now everything is working as it should

I called in for the exact same problem
The problem that was I did not have data on, and I had Data roaming on. So go to Settings > Battery and Data, and turn data on

I had absolutely *no* issues with the cellular network whatsoever until yesterday noon, that's when the problems started, all of a sudden.
I started experiencing disconnections from the 3G network intermittently, like every 5-10 seconds it would disconnect and reconnect, extremely unstable. I then put the phone in 2G mode, but I lost my EDGE data connection despite the APN's configured properly. I even called up the provider and had them deliver the APN settings to the phone, but to no avail. My data connection just didn't work, i.e. no 'E' symbol, nada,
Thinking it might be something to do with the ROM, I restored my 2.1 backup via xRecovery, but experienced the exact same issues. Extremely unstable 3G with it's intermittent disconnects etc and NO data connection when it 2G mode. In the 'About Phone' status, it just shows 'Unknown' as the mobile connection type and 'disconnected' in the connection state.
I even went ahead clean flashed the 2.1 .435 ftf via flashtool, but the same issues persist!
What do you think the problem could be? I triple checked with my operator and they say the data services are active on my number, no problem from their end.
Could it be a hardware issue? I unfortunately don't have another SIM I can test with - that said I greatly doubt it could be a hardware issue.
What do you think?
I'm on Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 v4.4
Could be a network issue. Do you have this problem at a different place. May be in a different cell. There's always issues initially after deployment of new 3g deployment.
There is rarely a problem with only the data part. As all the protocol stack are not changed or fiddled in these new rom.
So less chance of the rom.

Yeah probably a network issue due to the super important india-pakistan semi final.

Hi,
I just got this white Skyrocket phone with 200MB data plan.
I heard that when connected to 4G, the phone uses data allowance from the data package, whereas if connected to WIFI (like at home), the data usage doesn't come off my AT&T data allowance.
So I want to disconnect from 4G and connect to my WIFI when I am at home.
At the store, the just told me to make sure that WIFI is showing as on on the top bar (or when you swipe that bar down). They said if WIFI is showing on, it means that the phone is using WIFI connection.
However, I see that at the same time when WIFI is showing on, the "4G" icon is also showing on and looking active! So- they are both looking active! That's why I wonder which connection is my Skyrocket actually using?
It looks like the data I use on WIFI also comes out of my data plan because the data packet is on.
So I had an idea, went to settings-wireless-mobile networks and unchecked "Use Data Packet".
When the above was unchecked, 4G icon disappeared and I could see only WIFI icon on the top bar, which would be good - however, the problem is that now I cannot connect to internet. (I turned the phone on and off- no change)
Does it mean that there is no way on Skyrocket to bypass AT&T data allowance and whether I use 4G or my own WIFI, there is no free internet access on this phone?
Or is there something else I can do to make sure I am connected just to my WIFI and data is free?
I would appreciate your help.
Thank you
This isnt the skyrocket forum.
wrong forum.. don't know about Skyrocket.. this is Galaxy S II SGH-i777
But you can always check by running some speedtest if you know how fast your wifi is.. or just go to settings and make sure it says connected.. or turn off your data when you're not using it.
Grab a program like traffic monitor. It'll show where your apps are getting data from and how much they're using.

Sometimes apps like the market actually use your mobile data connection so both icons will show. From your phone dialer enter *3282# and hit call. It will send you a text letting you know how much data you've used.

My S3 is on LF2 unrooted from Thailand.
I got the phone in Thailand and had it running on AIS no problem. Came back to the US for a visit and ran it on AT&T no problem. I get back to Thailand and shut off mobile data until I can re-charge my prepaid account. I do, my data package renews, but the data connection never turns on. No Edge, no H, no H+. I have the right APN and it's lit up green.
I've tried toggling the mobile data on/off, toggling the use data limit on/off.
Any ideas?

Well.. it turned out to be something simple... of course.
The provider had for whatever reason shut off my data service and just had to turn it back on. Not sure why I procrastinated going to the service providers shop to ask them about the problem...
Oh well.. nothing wrong with the phone!
May be a firewall app (visible regular app or unvisible spyware) causing that? Or an antivirus app?

I've tried searching and haven't found anyone with the same issue as I.
Jellybean broke my wifi, I had no connection issues before whatsoever.
Now, it still shows it's connected to the network with full strength but when I go to use the internet or any apps, it says there is no network connection, webpage unavailable, no autosync, etc. Things are fine when I go back to 3G and nothing has changed on my phone but the JB update. I've turned Sprint Optimizer off and on, deleted and manually readded all the wifi networks, and am not sure what else to do besides hard reset. Any ideas? Also, I am not rooted.

have you done a complete network reboot (cable modem and wifi router) when having the crappy sprint connection optimizer off?
if this helps you feel free to hit the thanks button
Thanks for the help! I found the answer in another thread... Seems JB automatically turns on "DLNA auto-ip" for some people. The fix that worked for me was Settings>Wifi>Menu>Advanced and uncheck "DLNA auto-ip" at the bottom.
Rooted stock ROM Verizon I605 running 4.1.2.
I was in Korea for the past 6 months and just got back the other day. Before I left, I never had any problems, but since returning, my wifi and data are on at the same time, and it's causing me problems. Here's what's going on:
If I just have mobile data on, everything works as it should. If I turn on Wifi, it will connect, but the data connection will also remain, and my internet speeds will become spotty. If I turn on mobile data and just try to use wifi, the Wifi icon appears (with the orange/green arrows indicating activity), but apps don't connect. Facebook automatically tells me "No Internet connection," Opera won't load pages, Google Talk can't sign in, etc. If I turn mobile data back on, things work again, albeit slowly.
The strange thing is if I turn on Airplane Mode and then turn it off, leaving data off, my wifi will work 100% normally. If I try to turn on mobile data again, I get the same issue.
While I was away, I replaced the SIM card so I could use my phone over there. I messed with some APN stuff thinking I would be able to get data on my phone in Korea, but that didn't work out so I returned my APN settings to default. I have a feeling that's the source of my problems, but I have no idea how to fix it. I tried restoring my APN settings to default through the settings, but that didn't fix it either.
Any help at all would be appreciated!
If it helps I have been seeing the same thing. I'm on CleanRom 3.5 (Verizon Rom base) and PB&J kernel. It seems to be hunting between them even when in strong wifi signal.
Interestingly enough it's not doing it right now.
I'll keep a closer eye on it now.

In my case, it's a constant problem (unless I manually go into airplane mode, like explained). It doesn't work sometimes and not work other times.
I'm trying to use wifi at home, so signal strength isn't an issue either.
