I have Tata Docomo and i too had this same kind of problem earlier(almost a year ago). The Edge symbol would only show upload and nothing would work.
In Tata Docomo we have two internet setting:
1.Tata Docomo Internet(default and to connect internet in computer)
2 Dive-in(for wap i think)
The temporary workaround for me was to use Dive-in instead of Tata Docomo Internet whenever that problem occured(mostly at midnight). Using this setting only the stock browser would work and nothing else.
So, you could try Vodafone Live(i think that's what its called) settings and at least your stock browser may work. Though check your balance after using.
Well im using docomo
and i still get this issue
in both oxygen and cm7
i just toggle gprs/edge off
and it works
Ok guys but I didn't notice this problem while using airtel I was using my friends SIM I was astonished it was awesome!! Both speed and connection!! And I am facing this issue recently not before!! And I can't change the SIM cuz I want the same number! Gonna try porting my number!!!

If you are on 2G plan, make sure you check the 2G toggle only. I have seen this error on many of my friends phone, who are using 2G plan but the network settings are 2G/3G both. Vodafone doesnt like this, and that's why they throttle your network connection.

hi all im having a problem with my S3
When ever i try to video call any one i get an error saying it could not connect and do i want to voice call instead,both phones are video enabled & connected to wifi ive tried different wifi spots, one in my house and one in my bro in laws thats just got a S3,he can video call me fine but when i call him i get the error
could it be a network issue (vodafone) or a phone setting ? ive installed tango video calling app and that works just fine but the stock calling app just doesnt work for me ?
Maybe your signal is weak, eg no 3g.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
would 3G matter when im using wifi?
If I understood you right, you aren't using any app to do video calling, so what you are trying to use is 3G video calling, which uses 3G. You can't use Wifi with that.
ok just tried not using wifi but mobile data,im getting full bars for my reception and i have a H symbol for my mobile data
still wont connect via video calling
is your correspondant also on 3G network?
BOTH of you must be connected to 3G, otherwise it won't work.
yeah both where connected to 3G,i had both phones on my desk and tried to make the call
Im wondering if its a network issue,maybe vodafone blocking it
I am not sure if this applies. but for us, to utilize 3g video calls you need to ask your operator to activate it.

Skype is supposed to work trough any net connection, (as in wifi or 3g). But video call over 3g is different from voip services like Skype.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
if the video call is made via your network service then you need 3g, if you are making a video calls with third party apps like gtalk,skype etc then you dont need to rely on 3g and can use wifi instead.
still not tried skype because to be honest i dont like the app , you need to be signed in all the time to receive msgs , in the tango app ive got installed i switched from wifi and made a video call using 3G , it worked perfect
so my 3g is working ok just not the stock samsung app ?

hi, this is not entirely correct. Tango is a service app. Just like a voip service. So it relies on internet connection only. 3g video however is a service from your gsm provider. It will only use specific 3g service of your gsm and not wifi.
I must stress SPECIFIC SERVICE here. You may have 3g data enabled but may not have 3g video (or vice versa), also it needs both phones to be capable and enabled.
To check it you may try another Sim which you tested to work with 3g video calls, or try your sim on another device to make the call.

Hey guys, I just came off of the Galaxy Note to the S3. I never keep the data option enabled all day because of the battery drain, plus I just manually update all my sync'd apps anyway so there's no need for it to drain my battery & use up my pre paid credits at the same time.
My problem is this. With the galaxy note when I would go to either send or receive an MMS I wouldnt have to have my data connection permanently on. It would automatically enable the connection to send or recieve the incoming MMS, download the pic for me then automatically disconnect it when it was done. No muss no fuss. The GS3 does not automatically enable data to retrieve ur messages, you instead get a little download button in ur text you have to click. Problem is even after I enable data and click download to retrieve my mms, 95% of the time nothing happens, no activity is shown that the pic is actually being downloaded and you just end up staring at the screen for an hour until you get bored and turn it off, without your mms.
Is there a setting somewhere or something I can hack that will turn on the feature that will automatically enable data to retrieve your mms just like I had on the note? Its a bit hard to believe they'd have it on there then disable it on their brand new one. Not everyone likes to have data on all day :|
Thanks guys
Do you have Auto-Retrieve set to on in the messaging app? Just checking.
Check you apn settings

Yupyup auto-retrieve has been checked since the get go. What do I need to check in APN settings?
Im too facing the same issue n im working on it to get a way out :-I
Apn has nothng to do with this n auto retrival has been tried but no luck

Find APN setting for your network provider. In apn type, type in 'mms' without quot
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
mms is already in the APN section. The settings were sent to my phone after I put my sim card in. Looks like there mightn't be a fix for this... :|

Hey, I had the same problem and I just fixed it. it will take you about 10 seconds.
1. go to mobile networks in wireless and networks.
2. choose access point names
3. menu button and choose New APN.
4. Im on AT&T so this is what I put (may be different if you have some other carrier)
Name: ATT PHONE
APN: Phone
that's all you have to put, everything else will already have values in there so dont change them.
5. once youre done with this just choose the APN you just created and your MMS will work.
**If you have a carrier other than AT&T then maybe this will work exactly the same, just find a phone with the same carrier and copy what's already there.
Thanks for the tip jon, however it still didnt work for me

Oh, that explains it. you could probably use the same method but copy the info from another phone using the Optus network. for example, here in the US, AT&T has several settings that I can choose from so if one doesn't work I can switch to another (which I did by inputting the info manually)
Maybe Optus has more than one setting so you can just use another. borrow a smartphone from someone and see what settings they have, if its different than what you're using now, try the one they have.
Hi
I also have this issue but it is important to note that there is nothing wrong with the MMS settings. The problem is caused by the S3 requiring Mobile Networking to be active to send and receive MMSs, but I choose to keep Mobile Network disabled unless I specifically wish to use it.
On my previous mobile of another make, even with Mobile Network disabled, the network would come to life to send and receive MMSs and then switch off again. The S3 does not behave this way and needs the Mobile Network to be specifically enabled manually.
This is an irritation! I would love to know if anyone has a fix or workround for this.
So.. there isn't a work around because its how they designed the phone eh. Is it something that they can tweak in a custom rom? Or do I just have to wait until the release the new galaxy note and hope they they put it back in again?

are you on AT&T? If so, with the Galaxy S the problem is not with your phone's settings but on AT&T's end. turns out that sometimes your phone just disconnects from their network and they have to reset it--takes the only about 2 minutes to do over the phone.
It's on US Cellular, calling then would fix it though?

Im not sure how US Cellular works. I have AT&T. before you called them you can check your settings and make sure mobile data is turned on and you can also check your APN settings. on my GS2 I have 2 settings for APN, one is AT&T the other is Cingular. on my Wife's GS3 she was having MMS issues so I added a second APN to her phone and it worked--for a while then it happened again, called AT&T and it was something on their end.
I know this has been a widespread issue and has been asked many times, but I don't see any serious effort on how to fix it. I've seen also someone in other forum said that the kind of SIM card and network is also could causing the issue.
Regarding to my problem is, at first I couldn't connect to mobile data using CM10, then suddenly it works, so I figure that there's something with the network system. Few days after I have to travel to another city and the problem rise again. So again I figure that the network system that caused the problem and the way CM10 communicate with the network, only this time I wouldn't just live with it.
I'm thinking trying to fix it myself, the problem is I don't know what files that part of CM10 system that deals with mobile data? Could you point me what parts of system files I need to look?
This will not be an easy task for me to solved it, so I would very gratefull if you can understand my low-end knowledge and effort.

The APNs go away on flashing cm10.(i was through the same situation. And I'm on cm10 oly). Before I flashed, I knew the APNs would go away, so I manually wrote it down and added back again. U should probably try selecting ur service provider manually from the network settings and see if the APN comes.
And which network are u on BTW?

Let me try clear the situation, I did get mobile data using CM10 before in city A, then I did a bussines travel to another city in my country, when I arrived I turn on the phone then I loose mobile data. So the APN is excatly the same APN that I used before because the ROM is still the same ROM, I did not flashed new ROM. Untill now I'm still using the same settings on the same ROM.
I'm in Indonesia using INDOSAT provider. And the APN is correct. I did try selecting networks manually, but it keeps failing it said "error while searching for networks". Nationally roaming is not an issue because almost all provider here are free national roaming.

i have the same problem, I have checked my apn and them are correct, but some applications like whatsapp or facebook only work well with wifi, them only work from time to time with data.
I thing it might have something to do when the mobile goes to sleep it can't recover the connection, is it possible?
I found the problem. The problem was APN. I had old apn so network dint worked. If sameone have this problem just ask your carrier for configuration settings by typing sms or calling.

Did you add Roaming to your account before leaving to France? I would also make sure that:
1. Network mode is GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto
2. If you search for Network Operators from your phone, does it find anything?
3. Ensure that Data Roaming is selected
Also, power off your device completely and wait for 5 min before switching on (NOT AIRPLANE MODE). These tips have worked for me in the past, not with this phone but with other GSM phones. Please let me know any resolution, I will be going to the EU very soon and I'm hoping to know the experience from another TMo user.
Hope it helps!
