Hi all. I recently got an Galaxy S2 (SGH-I777) and am using it on Straight Talk (with their AT&T SIM card). I've been testing out a few different ROMs to see which one I like the best. I've tried older GB ROMs like UnNamed and newer ICS ROMs like SHOStock2 and MIUI v4...and they've all worked fine so far. Last night, I wanted to try out AOKP. At the time, Build 4.21.2012 was the latest...I see there's now a Build 34 but I won't be able to try that until after work.
Anyway, I went to Settings > More... > Mobile networks > Access Point Names to add a new APN for Straight Talk service. Usually there's a couple default APNs already there, but my list was blank so I didn't have to delete anything. I then went to Menu > New APN, added the info, and finally hit Menu > Save. However, nothing was added to the list so I can't select an APN afterward. I tried multiple times but the list always stays empty. I tried reflashing the ROM but that didn't make any difference either.
AOKP is the only ROM I'm experiencing this on. I went back and flashed SHOStock2 and could add a new APN without any problems. Whenever I flash a new ROM, I always do...Reset data, Wipe cache, Wipe dalvik cache, and Format /system first.
If anyone has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Try flashing a new modem first--I've never had this problem with AOKP.
I change my apns everytime a flash aokp.

I'll give that a try later. Since this is AOKP, do I have to use one of the Modems For CM7&9/MIUI ROMs from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336958

This is my first time ever flashing AOKP, so I assumed I would have to anyway because I reset the data. I tried to add a new APN, but after I save it the list is blank. Since the list is always blank, I can't ever select an APN...its weird.
Do you know where the APN info is stored? I'm curious if it's just like an .xml file that I could then modify using root explorer or something.

question task...i'm starting to get into apn's...why do you change it after you flash a aokp?
I finally got this working....looks like all I had to do was reboot.
So I flashed Build 34 and had the same problem...every time I try to add an APN, nothing shows up in the list. I tried it about 5 times but nothing worked. I rebooted...I meant to go into recovery but accidentally did just a normal reboot. After it loaded up, I checked the APN settings...and sure enough all 5 APNs I added showed up as well as the default AT&T APN.
I'm not sure what happened, but all is working well now.

The fact that this thread had to be started in the first place is beyond me. I had the same problem OP had, when the rom booted up I had no data connection. No apns listed in apn list. But before posting a question about it or jumping to a conclusion, I rebooted. And of course it worked. Because this forum isnt about hand holding, although we do help each other out and have a great fun time. But in the end, we should all be trying to fix as many of our own problems as we can. Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.....teach him to fish.....anyway point is we need to get our own hands dirty peeplz. Don't rely solely on these awesome devs and mods to givez u magic. Go make the magic.

I've had this issue before, after flashing ROMs I could not get the APN's.
What I did was Manually select the Network then select the Carrier.
After that I would reboot the phone and walla it works
Thank you for replying hing98, but I did what you said and it didn't work!
I've installed the latest CM9 and it didn't work neither ... im desperate now

Reboot 2-3 times it should definitely show up now.
I rebooted my phone like hundred times.
I've just flash Lite'ning rom thru odin, I seemed to work (I saved an APN) but I didn't have internet so I modified my MNC in the APN pressed save and then the APN disappeared
Pull battery...
Pull battery and your APN should be restored. With Hydrog3n ICS, I'd never get signal or data when flashing but after pulling battery and removing and replacing the SIM, I get coverage back.
Download an app call hiapn from play.
Might need to use TB to make it a system app.
It can automatically set your apns based on your sim.
It works 100% for me.

I have different behavior on different ROMs. Sometimes phone needs to be rebooted to restore APNs. Sometimes it is simply needed to wait for a while.
I have installed ROM in the evening and after hours of tries I simply went to sleep completely disappointed. In the morning internet was online

I rebooted my phone several times, I installed Dragon ICS ROM last night and I let it rest all night... no APNs yet .
Is your phone working, i.e. carrier is detected and voice services are working?
WINNER!

I know, this is probably stupid question, but is your mobile data enabled? I am asking because I noticed that ROM behaves exactly as you wrote here. When mobile data toggle is off and you edit some APN, edited APN disappears…

Yes mobile data is enabled actually it doesn't matter if it's enabled or disabled, always delete the APN when I attempt to modify and save it.
Is it working with samsung stock rom? Have you used some kernel cleaning scripts?

DragonICS-25-05-2012-SGS2 Kernel: 3.0.32-FLUXI-XXetc...
But I have also tried: litening ROM, CM9, MIUI, Resurection Remix, Omega...etc..and even tried CM7 just to verify if it was ICS related issue.
But was the Internet working on original Samsung ROM?
I am asking this because when I first time tested Fluxi kernel, I lost WiFi functionality because of kernel cleaning script I have used. I had to return back to Samsung ROM, root again and install AOKP ROM to fix it.
Sometimes are these issues related to kernel cleaning or another possibility is, that you did not wipe phone correctly between different ROMs.
I would recommend to return back to original Samsung ROM (using Odin) and then to root and instal AOKP ROM exactly according to instructions.

Internet was working on every ROM I used BEFORE this happened, this problem came from nowhere , I always do the proper wipes/cleanings between ROMs. I have tried with Siyah Kernel, and others. I'll try the Original ROM and I'll let you know what happen, ok? Thank you.
If you have more ideas please post them
Hey guys,
Backstory (Not sure if important): I was running Villain ROM for a long time whilst I was over seas, and every time I used WIFI, my phone heated up a lot (around the camera), to the point where I couldn't hold it up to my face to answer a call. My battery also got fairly hot while charging my phone on a boat. During this time I had a lot of issues with it crashing and what not, but data was still working. I charged my phone at the airport and then I tried to turn it on once I got home and the battery was dead. But I had a spare one which I'm currently using.
Anyway, I flashed Resurrection Remix ROM 3.0.5 (22/08/2012) and it failed to work (boot loop), so I flashed Stock Telstra 2.3.6 ROM. Then I tried to re root it and flash RR again and it worked fine. I attempted for a long time to fix the problem by using different modems, and flashing different ROMs etc, but I decided to use Triangle Away to reset Binary Count and then I flashed my phone back with the stock Telstra ROM as I may send it off for repair if I can't fix it. I also used OTA to upgrade it to ICS.
I've made sure that airplane mode is off. I've enabled data/roaming in settings. I've made sure (using power button) that data is enabled. I've checked the APN's and their all correct. I've selected the proper network operator (Telstra). I've gone into USSD Code '*#301279#' and changed the revisions.
I went into the settings using the USSD code '*#*#4636#*#*' and went into phone information. When I click 'Run ping test' it fails with the errors:
Ping IpAddr: Fail: IP addr not reachable
Ping Hostname: Fail: Host unreachable
HTTP: Client test: Fail: IOException
When I press the menu key there is an option called 'Enable data connection', that when I press closes the menu (as if it had worked), but when I opened it again, it says the same thing. There is also never a 3G or Data Icon.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, or anything to try, please let me know.
TL;DR: I've read pretty much everything I could find on Google and nothing is making data work or even appear.
Thanks,
Hi !
I got the I9100 G, and tried many custom AOSP AOKP based rom too. I noticed that I can't get data network with those custom roms.
I also tried to flash modems, reflash with fresh restart, full wipe, etc.. but still nothing.
So I went to a stock based rom, with the Divine rom. And everything work fine.
Now I'm on the RR v3.0.5 and still no data, just wanted to try agan this amazing rom.
But I have to switch back again to the Divine..
Try this one, it should work if you got the same issue, even if I still don't know what it is exactly..
Note that it's for G's only !
let me know if you find another way to get rid of this.
why not try RootBox rom.. it will help you out with the data network problem,,

Check your APN settings, if it's correct
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
Rootbox for G's.. Yeah..
Already tested.. Not the latest but the v1.7 and it didn t work..
APN, modems, fresh restart, saving APN on a stock rom + restoring when on a custom like RR or RB, even CM9.. Tried all of this already.
But I didn't tried all modems..

I can't post to the dev forum, so maybe someone over here can help:
I tried the PA ROM, because I really love the hybrid mode. The ROM has worked fine and looks great, but whatever version I flash, the mobile network, both data and phone, simply doesn't work.
It briefly connects to my provider (drei.at) and immediately disconnects, no matter whether I have data connection enabled or not.
Have tried this with all available versions of PA and did the usual routine: wipe, format system, wipe data. I even went totally back to a stock ROM, tried various modems, the current one being XXDLH9, which works just fine on [email protected] 0.6 ROM.
Had the same problem with Omega, FoxHound, and god knows what other ROMs I tried. No matter what, the only JB ROM actually working is [email protected] 0.6, that's it.
Is this a known phenomenon or have I overlooked something obvious?
The phone used to be a branded and simlocked Austrian T-Mobile, but ever since it has been debranded and SIM unlocked.
Any ideas?
All i can suggest is your apn settings?
Can try Offline SIM APN Database (get on Google Play) to insert the correct apn settings.

Thank you for the suggestion. The APN settings on a fresh install, all wiped, are correct and the same as in a working setup.
Any other ideas? Am I really the only one with that problem?
Modem tried APN correct .
Suggest next step is factory reset ..
Step after that is to install an official stock rom .
Others who may have a problem post in the roms thread .

Did a factory reset, totally clean install with everything wiped.
Also, did a clean wipe and installed official stock ROM. Lost root, started from scratch and still didn't work.
I'd love to post in the ROM forums, but haven't yet posted my mandatory 10 postings.. Maybe this thread helps me to reach that limit

No, that's not what I said. Stock ROMs work just fine; I actually just flashed the latest leak (DLI5) and had no problems with the network. The problem hasn't changed, so it's what I wrote in the OP: Only JB to work ist latest leak and [email protected] 0.6. All others can be installed but have not network connection other than WiFi.

Thanks for trying to help.
Yes, I have been playing around with all kinds of basebands, trying to flash modems etc. but that does not seem to be the reason for it. I have had different modems working and the very same modems simply did not work with PA at all. Best example ist yesterday's leak DLI5 which I flashed and had a virgin like system working just fine with my network. I then flashed the PA ROM, which then had the same baseband as the latest stock ROM, but, alas, same story: No network.
The weird thing is the brief connect it always shows in the status bar. It lasts roughly 4-5 seconds and then disconnects again, only showing the empty network status display.
It really sucks, because I find the idea of hybrid ROMs really appealing, in fact, this seems to me as a truly superior way of making use of the 720p display.
Need to try logcat next to see whether the connect/disconnect somehow can be monitored from there. Will report on that.

I just installed ParanoidAndroid. I'm kind of a noob to all of this.
I understand some, but not all.
My mobile networks are not working.
I don't get any notification at the top of the screen either saying I'm on a mobile network.
I've messed around with the APN settings. It seems that every now and then it'll connect for a brief moment, but I can't really do anything unless I'm connected to WiFi.
Any help would be appreciated.
I came from a stock phone rooted.
Installed this and now I'm here.

Hi everybody!
Yesterday, I applied a custom rom to my Galaxy Note and after a successful installation, my data plan wasn't working like it used to be.
I have to say this isn't the first time I have done this, and in the previous opportunities after flashing the rom and rebooting, the EDGE/3G icon appeared by itself detecting my data plan. I never had to configure the APN settings (like it is said in many posts I have seen here).
So, when I realize that it wasn't working properly, I re-flashed the rom but didn't worked. So then, I downloaded the ICS stock rom and flashed it through Odin, hoping it would reset all things here and would give me the initial configuration, but that didn't work either.
I have entered through settings and deactivated/activated the options related to mobile data, but that icon never appears or my data connection showed up.
Forgot to mention that this phone was unlocked through cellunlocker by code, and that I can make phone calls with no problem and also the Wifi works fine... And thank you in advance for any advice/help that you could make
If it's happening with different ROMs then take a look at your modem (baseband). Are you using I717UCLF6? Go to System Settings-About Phone-Baseband Version.
Like ^^^^ said, and you didn't say it, but I'm guessing T-Mobile. So flash any ROM you like, reboot and let but settle in, then flash the Blaze 4G or whatever T-Mobile modem works best for you.

Upon boot I didn't have signal at all, and it kept hanging at the "Waiting for Network, Activation can take a few minutes" screen. So i booted into recovery and restored a nandroid of Liquid Smooth 3.0 beta. Same issue (even though its a nandroid, which confuses me....
So now I can't boot into any ROM... gonna try flashing a 4.2 based rom and hope that fixes things but i'm really worried, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have fixed this issue.
I flashed the latest cm nightly again WITHOUT THE SIM CARD INSERTED TO THE DEVICE. Went into settings > more... > mobile networks > changed CDMA subscription to NV. Reboot phone with the Sim in the phone now. Go back to mobile networks. If it hasn't changed back to RUIM/SIM subscription do so now. Reboot again. Device should be working again.
For me messages came I'm after changing back to RUIM/Sim but I had no signal reported. Rebooting brought that back.

Followed those steps, (except it was with a stable Carbon 1.8 build instead of CM), and it worked like a charm. I'll be thanking the person on the original thread as well.
