Hey all, I'm having an issue I can't figure out on my gs3.
I was at home on wireless, got in my car drove away. Got to where I was going, had no data at all. Jumped to airplane mode and back, no dice. Rebooted no dice. Turned wireless on and off nothing. Drove home and connected to the wireless, works fine, turn off the wireless and mobile data never comes up.
settings- data usage - mobile data = on
settings- more settings - mobile network - use packet data = checked
settings - more settings - mobile network - data roaming = checked
settings - more settings - mobile network - apn = epc.tmobile.com
For the life of me I can't get it to connect.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Guys, I got fond of the Hero a lot. and requested a friend to get one for me on his way from london (sim free, unlocked)
1 thing concerns me is the data consumption over 2g networks as its quite expensive here
I need to know if I can stop data transfer without affecting calling ability???
this is crucial in my decision to buy
Appreciate your clear and quick responses.

Settings > Wireless Controls > uncheck "Mobile Network" > Qapl'a!
you can even put a Mobile Network Toggle on the desktop to just switch it on and off.
Whilst off, you can still send and receive SMS and calls, but not MMS.

does shutting mobile network shut data only?
the toggle is native
no you don't need to root the phone
yes, it only shuts off mobile data (including MMS), this is why it's called mobile data, and not airplane mode. Wifi is unaffected.
Data Roaming
Hi everyone,
We've just started using the Hero at work as a business phone, a lot of our employees travel internationally on a regular basis.
Using our old WinMo phones, picking up emails whilst roaming was automatically disabled by default but could be manually sync'd with our exchange server if required.
On the Hero, there doesn't seem to be a similar function. You have to go in to the Mobile Network settings and disable 'Data Roaming'.
My question is, if I disable 'Data Roaming' but still have 'Enable Always-on Mobile Data' active, will any downloaded apps still be able to connect and update i.e Twitter gadget for instance? Or does disabling 'Data Roaming' stop data connections full stop?
The ideal scenario for us would be something that is quick and easy to turn off (or turn on) that would prevent any data connection but will let us open up the Mail app and sync manually with our exchange server if required (like we could with WinMo).
I currently have the Toggle Selector app on my home screen to quickly get to the Mobile Network settings. I'm just not sure what to enable/disable in the settings menu that will let me get mails manually and prevents all other data connections.
Any advice or suggestions would be more than welcome. It's got us scratching our heads a little and is stopping us from upgrading other staff phones as we don't want to end up with a phone we can't use as a business tool internationally as it costs us the earth in data roaming charges.
The easiest way i can think of would be to have the toggle on screen, and when you want to sync, you turn it on, manually refresh the emails and then turn it off again.
if you have data roaming blocked, it will override the 'always on mobile data' setting, so no, when roaming is turned off, nothing will connect when you are abroad.
honestly though, android is not ready for business really, which is why HTC are pitching it at the consumer market mainly.
I am in the same position, just want to be clear, with the "toggle" will it stop all data? (including browser, mms texts, apps updating) i only want these when i have wifi.
thanks in advance
to make it absolutely clear:
When at home,. turn mobile data off and NOTHING can access GPRS.
When roaming on another network when abroad, turn data roaming off and GPRS is blocked. To access GPRS, you have to turn data roaming AND mobile data on to access GPRS.
The Data roaming toggle has precedence over the Mobile data toggle.
Thank you, appreciate it
I have noticed toggling mobile networks occurs twice. What I mean is, after toggling a couple of times, I cannot seem to coonnect to 3g anymore? In that case I always have to restart my phone. Anyone experiencing this issue? It could be a bug. I used To have a blackberry bold and that bug was fixed by an update
Yesterday, my phone was working fine. Today, I wake up and instead of showing H or E in my signal bar area, I just have the bars which are full.
I can send and receive texts, but no photos. No webpages are accessible, email won't sync etc. But I can still make and receive calls as well.
I'm running Neutrino V2.5. This morning I flashed the 36P radio (from 30P) in hopes that might help. Didn't change anything.
Not sure if any of this is needed but here it is anyway:
Signal Strength - 93dBm 10asu
Mobile Network Type - HSPA
Mobile Network State - Disconnected
Wifi is still working fine as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm experiencing the same issue. Not sure what's going on. I went into settings to search for available networks and it's been "Searching" for like 15 minutes. Behind the "Searching" dialog I can see two options for AT&T and looks like one for T-Mobile. If I try to press back to cancel the search, it just takes me back to the last screen. I've also tried resetting APN. ugh.
Check the APNs configurations you might have to set them again.
I read over Atrix Dev that there's a weird bug in Neutrino ROM 2.5 that remove the APNs.
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
Hope that helps
Gday Im new here.
I have a bit of a problem. I upgraded to ICS last night and it wiped my homescreen. No problem. I put my APN data packet activator widget to the home screen and tried to activate the 3G packet data. Nothing happned. So i uninstalled the widget and downloaded another one. Still packet data wont work. Uninstalled all widgets and tried to manually activate packet data through the mobile settings. It turns on(green arrow lights up) but still no packet data becoming active. Ive run out of ideas
Heres a few things about my phone

Did your check your APN settings? If so, is one of them selected as active?
solved it
OK
I added telstra settings manually . Nothing worked. Started playing with it again.
Added a new data widget. Checked data was enabled in settings. Checked APN settings , telstra apn wasnt selected so I selected that. Accidentally pressed reset to default settings .... reset back to two apns - telsta internet and telstra mms settings. Packet data started working !!
I have no idea why this fixed it. Resetting back to default after changing the apn seemed to spark it into action.

If it wasn't selected, then it wasn't active. Once you reset, it probably auto selected one.
Hello
I have the S2 Galaxy with ICS 4.0.3 - carphone warehouse version , it was originally locked to UK Orange.
On Orange it always allowed phone calls to be made whilst the phone internet data was also turned on. (H+ in the top right corner)
Now that I've had the phone unlocked and am using a UK 3 sim card, I've had problems with the phone use.
1) If the internet data is turned on and I'm not browsing and I try to make a phone call - I get the message - 'No internet calls allowed' ??
2) On trying to access the phones data internet I now keep getting a web message from 3 - 'Your trying to use your phone as a modem or in a hotspot' ??
I've toggled between the data packet selection and the data roaming selection buttons in the wireless and network settings area.
Phoned 3 a few times, been through all the checks in the settings area.
Tethering off
Wifi off
Anything that shouldn't be checked isn't!
Anyway I've been directed to the APN settings and there is nothing there - everything is UNSET !
I've read the threads here and used the 3 APN settings and my phone will not save what I type in?
3 went through the set up and to finalise I pressed save - only for it not to save - the APN page is still blank.
Any ideas on what the problem could be ?
Thanks

Flash a Custom ROM like CyanogenMod or flash a Retail ROM. Look here on XDA and catch one. It will work for sure!
I already flashed a retail ROM onto the phone - UK Carphone warehouse ICS 4.0.3
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=1
Solved !!
Problem solved..
I reflashed a non wipe ICS 4.0.3 over what was already on the phone.
I had taken a few back up rom images via CWM and used one of them to restore the DATA program apps!
The APN is there now and reads like this should anyone else need the info to sort theirs out.

Hi!
I have Motorola Razr XT910K, and I am from the Philippines. I have been using the phone for almost a week now and it seems like it won't connect to mobile internet. I got the APN settings saved on the phone and the settings were pushed by the provider. I turned on the Mobile Data, also i checked data roaming as well. I already selected and enabled the APN that was pushed by my provider.
Here's what is going on: when I turn off the data, the "H" is seen beside the signal bars icon but there is a red circle with a slash which means data is turned off. But when i turn the mobile data on, the "H" disappears and only the signal bars icon is left, aside of course from the time and other icons on my notif bar.
Can anyone please help me on this?
My phone is not rooted, running official 4.0.4 ICS.
my mobile network state is either just connecting or disconnected.
I tried to use my sim with another phone and it can connect to the internet.
I don't if i just missed one setting on the phone.

I just got the same problem earlier today, and solve at the end, below is my procedure, just for your reference.
Try "Settings" > "More" > "Mobile networks" > "Access Point Names", and delete those APN(s) that your are not using.
You may also want to try to search APN auto set up in the play store.
my 2 cents
