Problem when using roaming GSM simcard and how to solve it - Motorola Photon 4G

I have unlocked the Photon 4G and sometimes I'm using my roaming GSM simcard (it's from middle-east and works at AT&T network).
First I faced a problem with GOOGLE PLAY!!
it can't access the google play app, even I've tried to flash the ROM again but it didn't fixed.
This mean that you can't download any app from the market.:crying:
I've tried to clear the cach and the data of google play like this (settings > manage applications > click playstore under 'all' > clear data > reboot); It also didn't worked :crying:
The FIX::good:
1. Power off, remove the simcard, power on, download what you want from google play, power off again, put back your simcard, power on again, and go.
2. (BETTER):good::good:
Try going into settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network Mode > choose CDMA only.
then Reboot, then download what you want from the market.
Now to retearn back: Go again into settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network Mode > choose GSM only.
Done, hear no need need to reboot, AND you are still able to use google play untie the next Reboot.
please if somebody find this thread useful in any way, just hit Thanks to understand that I've helped somebody except me.

Try the following:
Go to Settings > Applications and ensure there that 'Unknown sources' is enabled.
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market and press the 'Clear cache' button.
Also make sure your SD card is mounted. You can go to Settings > SD Card & Phone Storage to check if it is being read or not.
See how that works out for you.

No mobile data 2.3.4

After installing 2.3.4, I no longer have network access over mobile data. I can access the internet over wifi still. Would restoring data from older versions cause this?
Has anyone else had this problem?
**edit**
Changed my apn from custom tethering back to hsdpa and it works now. Sorry.
the guides state you need to reset your apns to default. also - wrong section
Go to Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access point names > press Menu and choose "Reset to default". I think this should work. And yeah, wrong section.

[SOLVED] Mobile data exclamation mark

Hey guys,
I wanted to make a post about this issue as I spend some time searching the Internet for a solution.
My girlfriend had this problem on her OnePlus 6T but I understood later it wasn't related to the phone.
What happened was the internet connection didn't work except for some apps like WhatsApp and Messenger, and there was an exclamation mark next to the mobile data icon.
This indicates that the internet server cannot be reached, and this issue can have many causes from what I saw on the forums.
So the aim here is to list all the possible causes and the associated solutions, instead of posting on a 2 year old thread.
#1 You have used all your data
This was actually her problem, and I'm glad I saw a guy asking this question on a forum because it is so obvious we don't think about it.
And I suspect this is the most common issue, with some people saying the problem disappeared a few days later. So in this case you know what to do!
#2 OTA update issue
Apparently an update can reset the APN (access point name) settings and make the phone connect to a server that is not configured to provide internet
1. First go to settings
2. Mobile Network Settings
3. Access Point Names
4. Open the three dots on the right hand corner
5. Reset to default
6. Reboot
If it still doesn't work make sure your 'APN Type' field contains at least "default,supl".
Next option is to enter manually the APN settings, for that:
1. Find a webpage from your carrier explaining which settings to enter to configure the APN
2. Go to Mobile Network Settings/APN
3. Click on the "+" and enter the settings
#3 Unknown issue
Here are some other possible solutions to the problem:
Change preferred network
1. Go to Network settings
2. Mobile network
3. Change the preferred network to 3G
4. Wait until the exclamation point disappears, now it should work on the 3G network
5. Switch back to 4G
These methods have not provided results from what I've seen, but if none of the above solution worked you may want to try!
Clear the GPlay services cache
1. Go to settings
2. Applications
3. Google play services
4. Memory usage
5. Clear cache
Clearing Cache
1. Power down the phone.
2. Wait until the device is completely off.
3. Then press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time.
4. Continue holding these two buttons during the initial OnePlus splash screen.
5. When the OnePlus logo goes away, you can let go of these two buttons.
6. And then wait until the phone boots into Recovery Mode.
7. If you have a password set, you will have to enter the pin to decrypt(basically unlock access to storage) here.
8. Tap on the language of your choice.
9. Tap on the Wipe Data and Cache option.
10. Tap on the Wipe Cache option.
11. Tap the Yes option when asked to confirm.
12. Wait for the phone to clear the cache partition.
13. Then tap on the Reboot option to restart the phone.​

Please help

My 7.1 thinks it's a 7 Plus, and so won't update

I've got a Nokia 7.1, which in System-About Phone says it is a 7.1, TA-1096. But when I sideload a stock ROM (to move from Oreo to Pie) it says 'E: package is for product CTL_Sprout but expected B2N', and refuses to install it. My understanding is CTL-Sprout is the 7.1, and B2N is the 7 Plus.
It also:
- fails to find that any OTA updates are available despite being on 8.1;
- won't take a B2N ROM by sideload (says 'E:failed to verify whole file signature', 'E:signature verification failed' and 'E:error 21'); and
- interacts fine with ADB when booted or in recovery, but isn't recognised by the fastboot devices command when in 'download mode'., so I haven't been able to flash TWRP.
It all seems strange to me, but I'm not very experienced. I originally put the phone aside when I found there was not going to be a bootloader unlock, and am keen to now get it to Q and try to root it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Hi oujdamp. It doesn't look promising I'm sorry … I started a similar thread on the Nokia forums and got some useful (but disappointing) information. The link is here: https://community.phones.nokia.com/discussion/59020/my-7-1-thinks-its-a-7-plus-and-so-wont-update
Hi.
I just contact nokia care about my case . And he ask me to floww thes steps
1. Go to Settings > Apps and notifications > App info > Google Play services > Storage > Clear data and Clear cache
2. Settings > Security and location > Location Off
3. Please remove the phone SIM card.
4. After that, please check for the update availability via Wi-Fi network: Settings > System > System update > Check for update
5. Soft reset: Press and hold at the same time Power key and Volume Up for Only 10 sec, until short phone vibration and Powered by Android message. Your phone will restart, without deleting your data.
VPN Steps:
After trying the above steps if the issue still remains, you can try to use VPN:
Turn Location off: Go to Settings > Security and location > Location > Tap to switch it Off.
Download a VPN from Play Store.(Any VPN application)
Clear Cache and data of Google Play services: Settings > Applications > Google Play Services > cache and data
Deactivate Google Play Services. Navigate to Settings > Apps and notifications > See all apps > Google Play Services > Disable
(In case you cannot Disable it Please go to "settings" - "Security" - "Device Administrators" - Turn OFF "Find my device" try the steps 2 again).
Then go to "Settings" - "Location" Turn it OFF. Soft reset the device.
Now open the VPN app that you have downloaded and run it.
