[q] at&t data usage check - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
Is there anyone using the phone on AT&T and having checked data usage by dialing *3282#? Does it work for you? For me, I keep trying, yet nothing works and gives me the same error everytime: "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
I'd appreciate if anyone can help!!! Thanks and cheers to the be(a)st phone

For future references, you could get an app called Data Manager or something like that, that can track your data usage.

So basically there's no way to fix this? it's kinda weird since I used to be able to do it with my unlocked gnexus. Guess I have to rely on Data Usage setting for now before a solution comes out...

No 3G with cooked ROMs?

Hi Guys.
So I was finally able to get a cooked ROM on my Fuze using an older XP machine that I had. But now, after trying both ROMeOS and DCS, I'm not getting any 3G signal. What i do get at times is the hsdpa signal, but i don't actually receive it; none of the data services are working (internet, weather, youtube, etc.). Could someone please tell me how to get 3G on my Fuze?
EDIT: It seems like I am getting the HSDPA signal at times but its very tempermental
anyone have a solution?

In start>settings>phone>band do you have the auto in both drop menus on??
also try start>settings>connections>advanced network> in the HSDPA try to see which option is used. try to use 'enable HSDPA Only' or even disable it completely and see what happens.
had the same issue and this seemed to fix it.
Advanced Config Tool>menu>more settings>Comm manager - Add 3g to comms manager.
Open comms manager and switch 3g off > soft reset > switch 3g on > soft reset
Good luck
thanks ill try that out when i get a chance. what rom were you using?
EDIT: nvm saw it in your sig
did you run the network config wizard after flashing the rom?
it prompts (or detects) your country and operator and configures most things for you.
if it's not part of your cooked rom, look for it as a .cab
yea i ran the config but it still doesnt connect to 3g. I'm trying the suggested solution now
still not working....
I still cant run apps like cellular video and the youtube app. Youtube just wont load the vids, and CV gives me a message that says it's only supported to 3G phones. I really hope theres a solution to this since I really love ROMeOS but I want apps like youtube and CV
haha i give up. I officially ***king hate this. I feel like I spent 300 bucks on a phone that is perfectly engineered and has crap software on it. Im so agitated i can't even think straight. I'm really close to just getting rid of this phone and i dont even know.
Well... felt good to tell someone.
I am having the same problems. I am using an ATT Fuze and I flashed ROMeOS last night and now I cant to connect to the internet or use the youtube app via HSDPa/HSUPA, 3G, or Edge. I can use these applications if I turn on Wi Fi, but if I use cellular internet I get a big red sign that says "ERROR" and then followed by "the remote server refuses to perform the request. This address is not available". It also shows an H on the top bar if anyone was wondering. Any fix for this or just try a different ROM?
Update: I tried a new ROM and same thing. Does anyone have a solution? I am sure us two aren't the only ones with this problem!
I am getting pretty desperate, can anyone help?
same problem here, my area supports hsdpa but with a speedtest i have between 24 and 36kbit

go to start>settings>Connections>Advanced network>GPRS "make sure CHAP authenticaion is selected. that is what ATT network uses. then go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connections> select manage existing connections and then go to the proxy tab. make sure your remove both check marks and you should be good to go.
Wow, thank you HackMimic that worked! I tried everything I could think of and was about to go back to stock ROM just to use 3G, but now I can continue using flashed ROMS. To the original poster of this thread try the above and it should work as I had the exact same symptoms you described and now I am cruising along on HSDPA! Once again thanks HackMimic!
no problem. i had the same issue back in the day when the connection setup app first cam out i noticed that it always seem to set the GPRS Settings to PAP instead of CHAP which is needed for MMS and the net over here in america. also noticed issues with proxy selected. glad i could help.
Yea I tried HackMimic's fix but not directly from you . I was reading on how to configure skyfire and they said to do that, and what ended up happening is all of the sudden the youtube app worked and so did everything else. Regardless, thanks for the solution. I'm a little more amazed everyday by the wealth of knowledge on this forum

[Q] Which (sync?) app is eating GPRS? And how do I stop it?

Hi hope someone can help.
I've bought an Xperian X10 mini for my daughter. She loves it. All her friends love it. The iPhone owners want one! (Big) but.....
She is not a heavy user, and so put her on a PAYG contract. However it is running out of credit very quickly, and when I checked the usage it is nothing she is doing, but some background app that is regularly (hourly) connecting with GPRS and doing... well something, but I have no idea what :-S The info on the usage (from Orange) is (e.g.)
date & time event type dialled number/description duration/vol(Kb) cost (?)
22/05/11 19:22 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 38.0 0.00
with the same entry every hour:22
We have tried disabling as many sync type options / apps as we can find (e.g. Timescape) but it is still happening, and is driving me up the wall.
The reason I am even more annoyed is that most of the time it is at home, and connected (apparently successfully) to our wifi, so why the hell is it using GPRS anyway when there is an active wifi conection?! :-S
I have tried everything I can think of, and short of turning it off there seems little I can do. Can anyone help please??
- Which app is doing this?
- How do I configure it to either
i) use Wifi (preferred - would rather not disable functionality if possible) or
ii) stop auto syncing every hour?
Any help very gratefully received!
Thanks in advance

There are a couple of apps out there that can monitor data usage per app. But so far, all those that I found require Froyo (2.2) and above. I'm guessing your using the stock SE ROM so that's 2.1.
But there is an alternative.
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Click Usage Statistics
Click Battery history
Click the Other usage dropdown
Click network usage
That should show you which apps are using your network connection. But both wifi and 3g; at least it gives you an idea.
As to how to prevent use, you could go to each app and customize syncing options if at all possible. If you just want to block an app from using the network totally, I suggest LBE Privacy Guard, free on the market.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lbe.security
They have a thread here on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091065
EDIT: BTW, the phone shouldn't be using GPRS when wifi is available. That's weird. First time I've heard of that happening.
Many thanks for the info - really useful - will check the links you've given.
On the wifi (and yes it is weird - and annoying!) could it be "connected" but without a "proper" connection? Is there some way I can check, e.g. switch off GPRS and see if can see www?
Just tried what you suggested (disconnected the internet from my wifi router, but router still on), and my X10MP didn't even attempt to connect to GPRS despite using apps which use data. The apps returned errors.
Maybe your X10M fails to connect to the wifi? I actually have no idea what's going on.
you and me both buddy!
thanks for trying tho!
I'll delete the connection anyway and try set it up again....

I didn't need to enable anything to use that. Sorry, don't know how else to help.
well it carried on despite various fiddling. so I did a factory reset.... no accounts set up no sync etc - factory reset - and it's still happening??!! so something SE/Android is doing it, but I still have no idea what? Surely I'm not the only person with this issue??!! :S :S :S

very simple fix, go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > uncheck Data enabled.
that way mobile data (gprs,edge,3g) is turned off and your problem is solved. If you're using stock SE software, theres a Data Traffic widget that lets you toggle the Data Enabled setting on and off easily.
Sync is not the only thing using data traffic, background apps can too, as well as some of the apps she might be using. ( some apps have adverts )
Thanks. Had also been nosing on SE site, and am obviously not the only person with this problem. I unchecked the box a few hours ago, am hoping that that cures it. I've also found anotehr PAYG plan with the same provider that has unlimited internet, so may switch to that. So one way or another will be resolved.
However I am still left annoyed. This ****** device is supposed to be under MY contorl not the other way round! Not knowing what is doing this, or (and because of this) not being able to stop it is ****** annoying! As is the fact it (whatever "it" or "they" are) is using GPRS when there is an open wifi connection!!
Ho hum - progress eh...
Well turning off the Data seems to have done the trick thanks. NOt really satisfactory not knowing what is doing it, but there we go. Thanks for all the help all
If shes not using the data at all, you can try to delete all access points - GPRS,WAP, etc. even MMS...with no APN, no connection, no access to net, no credit loss...Just go to settings-wireless networks-mobile networks-access point names-click on any of them-press menu button and choose delete...Im working for the operator so I solve this kind of problems every day :-D It is easy if you dont want to use net in mobile at all but still I think you should flash it with SEUS because your problem is weird.
That's the thing - she does use data. so want it to be enabled. but the vast majority of the time is at home with a perfectly good wifi connection, so why won't it use that?!
Anyway am swapping to a PAYG tarriff promising "free" internet, so will see how that goes.
thanks t

[Q] Signal/Service drops at random- Restart required

I recently purchased an HTC Evo V 4G on Virgin Mobile. Otherwise known as the HTC Evo 3D (it even says Sprint on the case.)
I'm having this problem where seemingly at random I will attempt to make a call or a text and it won't go through. My signal bar will suddenly drop to 0 and when it comes back I am unable to do anything. No data, calls, or texts will go through. I am then forced to restart my phone (with Fastboot off otherwise I need to take out the battery) to get it working again. It's hard to notice when this happens unless I notice I'm not getting any texts back. At that point I call my voicemail to see if it works.
Was this a problem people had with the phone on Sprint? Is this new to VM and caused by that? I'm not a new VM customer either. I never have problems like this. I don't know if there's conflicting apps causing weird behavior, it's something on VMs causing the behavior, if this is a known issue, etc.
Any help or guidance I can get will be much appreciated.

I'm not sure about the error but I have had weird things like that (not same) happen to me since flashing the vm firmware from the leak and using an ics rom. Going to airplane mode and back usually helps me, might save the trouble of restarting.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Same thing happening here!!!! I flashed the vm firmware so I'm guessing it's that
I've tried airplane mode to no avail.
I'm on Virgin Mobile... I wonder if it matters that I have a Sprint labeled phone? I assume that VM users are getting old stock of the EVO 3D and they didn't want to bother re-branding until they ran out. Which means that I'm in nearly the same situation: I have the EVO 3D flashed with the VM ROM. Maybe that's causing issues?
Try one thing, I believe I fixed my problem for now at least. Dial *#*#4636#*#* , go to phone information, scroll all the way down and the preferred network mode should be set to "WCDMA". Change it to "CDMA auto (PRL)" then restart your phone. If you are already on the one I'm telling you to change to then I got no idea. I was getting the exact same error codes as you and that random service drop, haven't had it since I made this change. Let me know how it goes

I don't know the technicalities but I just know that it fixed for me and in the past have seen people recommended that.. it all comes down to just messing with it yourself you know, it's not dangerous to change if anything goes wrong just revert back
the same thing happened to me, and i flashed back to the sprint firmware using the firmware recovery thread, and that seemed to fix things, however i don't know what flashing sprint firmware is going to do

Thanks for the tip.... but that's what it's set on. Think it would do anything to change to WCDMA, restart, and then go back to CDMA Auto (PRL) ?

Nope, when you reboot it will automatically reset back to cdma"auto prl" Have you tried a data reset?

##3282# from dialer
go to edit mode and enter msl(use msl reader from market if ur rooted, if ur not rooted u will have to ask sprint for it)
hit menu at top right corner of edit screen "reset"
This will re-provision ur data profile with Virgin Mobile and clear out any hodgepodge. But if u bought the phone from VM and its doing that I doubt a data profile restore will fix the problem. I had the Sprint 3d and flashed the VM ICS leak and it caused the same problem for me and most of the other Sprint users that flashed it. I think it has something to do with how ICS interacts with the carrier network (radio interface daemon) hence the "radio interface resource shortage" error. Once once the developers realized the VM firmware was not need to flash ICS, it worked flawlessly with Sprint firmware.

I knew the first thing I should have done is root this phone... especially since I'm coming from an Optimus V that was rooted 90% of the time I had it if not more.
Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it!
I tried getting my MSL and was unsuccessful. Is this something phone specific or account specific? I found my MSL from my last phone since that's rooted.
I don't know if it's caused by ICS, my Windows setup, or what but attempting to finding my MSL was a hassle this time around. I can get pretty far into the steps but since the guide isn't written for my phone there seems to be something I'm doing wrong. I read through hundreds of comments and tried everything I could, too.

If u asked them for it and they wouldn't give it to you just tell them you are having problems getting your phone to access data and send texts with the network and can they walk you through how to reprovision it. They should tell you to dial ##3282# and enter a code. That 6 digit code they read out to you is your MSL. Write it down.
You can try this as well

Nothing seems to be working unfortunately. I've tried every method, read every comment, and tried anything I could. Thanks for all of your help. I realize that not many other people have this phone on VM but thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I will likely end up rooting when I have the time.

Data problem on GSM mode pls Help!

Hi, i have a photon 4g and so far iv tried cm7.2 cm9 and also the stock rom that came with the phone which was 2.3.5 198.6 i think but with all of them i get the same problem, i loose data at random times and the only way to get it back up is by restarting the phone. So far iv notice that when i loose data all my APN's dissapear too, so im getting nutz about this problem, so nutz that even the fact that i love this phone so freaking much i'm starting to think that i'll be selling it really soon, because i cant find a solution for this, i use GSM because im in venezuela, so please if anyone knows how to fix this DATA issue id really appreciated

That happens to me,too.
And it lasts for about 2 months,seems no solutions yet.:crying:
One possible reason I got is like: every time the phone encountered a signal problem,such as Airplane Mode,weak strength,etc.The phone react much faster than the SIM card,and then the sim card is not really initialized,the phone itself resumes up,and got a wrong MCC/MNC,both are 000.
No solutions on photons yet,because there seems no one works on Photons' framework.That could be changed by correcting the framework I think,because same problem happens on so many types of phones,such as ST18i.And both are resolved.:crying:
You can fine more information on CM's official website,there are many discussions on resolving other types of phones.

Hello there, I´m using the phone in Perú in a GSM network, with stock 2.3.4 and rooted. So far my MoPho has never lost the APN configuration. Are you only losing your 3g connection and your APN? Because I do lose my GSM signal sometimes in a day, but for some seconds only.
Hi, I am in Sweden and I am using miui 2.6.1 ics rom and I have no problems also I use a app called apn global its a quick way to set up apn's it reads your sim card.
GSM apns disappearing
Hi
I am on Cm9 aokp build 38 and i also had this issue of apns disappearing ( I am in India using GSM) The solution is to flash forceroaming.zip files from cm9 fixes files in this forum and flash it and restart it. If you dont see any apns manually you enter the apn value of your provider and save the settings and voila the problem is gone:highfive:. Sure this fixes the problem but I dont know how:fingers-crossed:. experienced guys may help but i am experiencing uniterrupted data after this
Used to have the disappearing apn problem for cm9... but since recently flashing to cm10, the disappearing has stopped... In the "Manage Apps", i noticed that the apndormancy service was stopped by default for cm10...probably thats what stops the apns from disapearing when phone "sleeps".. If theres an app that can freeze services and you can get it to freeze the apndormancy service, i think this would stop the disappearing.
Cm10 all data problems have been eliminated apns don't disappear. For cm9 you can flash forceroaming.zip

HELP! Wife is driving me crazy.

About 8-10 months ago.....maybe a little longer, my wife and I purchased two LG K7 (LG-K330) on the Family Mobile plan (T-mobile). I have had zero problems with my phone. My wife on the other hand is having some bizarre problems and she's blaming me for them. Here is a small list of some of the problems:
1. Being blocked from websites that she has been to on several occasions.
2. When going to a website, she will get either redirected or a screen saying 404 Error and one that states she does not have permission.
3. On Facebook, she has lost the ability to access all of her settings. Her "Sharing" configuration has changed and she can't set it back. And she's saying that she doesn't have the same amount of access that she had previously.. She says that sometimes she can't access links in Facebook and when she tries it bounces her right back to where she was.
She has been poking around the phones files and she claims that there are very similar file on my laptop computer. Now she thinks I am trying to limit her access and phone usage. For all I know, she has deleted something that needs to be on the phone. My question is has anyone experienced something like this before and if so, is it repairable? One more note on this matter. This is the fourth phone that this has happened on. The others were Samsung's.
Any help would be greatly appreciated because I can finally prove to her that I'm not smart enough to "hack her phone.

That's a bizarre problem to be having. But have you tried factory resetting it? Back up important files like photos beforehand. This honestly sounds more like a problem with the network than the phone. Have you been using the network? Make sure your DNS is correct and that your network isn't being limited.

I swear it's her doing it somehow. It happens to every phone she has used. I have done several factory resets and it hasn't helped. She used our wi-fi connection at home ALL the time. I'll check out the DNS and see if it's being limited. But I would think that I would be having the same problem as I use the network a lot too.
Hey Billybobjoe, I have some additional information that might clarify the problem. She says she cant reach "https" sites, she can only see part of her Facebook page, the permissions are growing and sharing is a lot worse. She says she can't really get to a "real" website(it says something about "there is no cache for the page". She also states that she can no longer change her privacy settings on Facebook and that she thinks her phone is heavily connected to Russian social media websites.
Does this help in any way? Thanks in advance for all your help in this matter.
