Some roms wont give me mobile data , some will what to do?

Hey guys I am not sure what's going on but I have the galaxy s2 on at&t and when I flash some roms the mobile data simply wont work i have tried reflashing , enabling and disabling data and it just wont work.
Works on Villain Rom but might not work on other rom.. someone suggested to flash basebands i tried basebands like KI3 , KI4 , KH5 i belevie on this one specific rom and other one and it won't work.
if someone has an answer please help and thank you
I am having the same issue with my SGSII on AT&T on GoPhone unlimited plan. I called At&T today and they said I am using a Smartphone on a none smart phone data plan. I guess maybe Samsung has released the IMEI numbers for the international models to AT&T. I could be wrong so don't think this is written in stone. I did however get internet service off and on flashing other ROms.

[Q] use of a foreign sim

Ok so I (foolishly) bought a galaxy s4 with verizon even though I was moving overseas to Israel in two months. I made sure that the phone was world capable (like it can do cdma and gsm) and the guy at the store said it would handle foreign sims no problem. Once I arrived here I got a new sim. I figured out that it needed to be in gsm. From then on it had the service bar and confirmed it was connected to Orange. Since then I have been able to receive calls and texts, but not make them, every time I try to make a call before one ring I get a prerecorded message saying that my number cant be completed as dialed. I have tried several things already to fix this: to a cell phone repair person, to the local sim carrier where a lady tried using the sim of her own phone, customer service at verizon and samsung (who both told me to go see the other). I also did a factory reset which didnt do anything.
my phone is not rooted and is schi545 ME7. I will root if I have to, but if I dont I would prefer not to for the time being
Anyway I suspect the problem has something to do with the fact that I got the phone from verizon. Every time I start the phone I get the Verizon logo and after a minute I get a notification from the verizon set up wizard saying that I have a non verizon sim and that the sims source is unknown. I also tried disabling the verizon security and was able to make the notification go away but the problem persists.
Can someone with experience with this kind of stuff help me please? Thank you so very much:good:
Are you sim unlocked? I don't think the phone is unlocked. Talk to verizon to see if they'll unlock it.
According to verizon I am. I spoke with multiple representives from verizon and they said the phone was unlocked

Has any one told you if you have to change any apn, access point name? That may be the problem too. They can be specific to the carrier.
No, how do you configure that

In system settings, network & wireless, more, mobile networks, access point name. It'll be specific to the carrier so i can't help you there.
all LTE Verizon phones after Galaxy Note 2 are factory unlocked it must be a APN issue. Try maybe to do a factory reset and as previous poster suggested do the steps he told you to change the APN or look into I think it's called HiApn in Play Store.
Also try to put it in global mode or GSM? play with the settings.
still having problems
Thanks for all the input everyone but my problem still persists
I downloaded HiApn and followed its instructions to which told me to set up 3 Apns. I noticed that only one of them can be active at the time. I tried with each one active and I still can not make phone calls. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Go to Setting, call setting, disable the prefix international. I have done the same for using Verizon S4 in Indonesia.
Mine was not unlocked either, although I knew this before buying. This is a guide I tried (without success) to unlock it on my own.
Like the last poster, I reside in Indonesia, but I was never with Verizon. I rooted mine and have had no problems since.
Ok so I went to call settings and the closest I found was assisted dialing for international calls and the option to turn it on or off. I played with that for a bit and it didnt work.
I also tried the code and it said connection problem or invalid code
during my fiddling I came upon an app that showed promise of fixing my problem if I had adb shell. Does anyone have a good place to get that? I tried a few that didnt work out for me. There was another that showed promise but it wouldnt send a package no matter what I try
Thanks
If you want ADB, you need to download Android SDK and have Java Runtime Environment also installed. Then, it is just a matter of typing in "adb" into the command prompt of Windows.
Is there a serious conflict for you not rooting the device? The true benefit of doing this is to get SIM cards from anywhere to work, and to allow certain apps to work. Rooting is simply a matter of bypassing security parameters. As long as you follow instructions strictly, you won't have an issue using the phone as it should be used.
yea I suppose I could try to root it. Im just not great at that stuff and am worried about messing up my phone permanately

You don't need to root. You need to sim unlock. Get a hold of att international chat and adj them for an unlock code.
Hey guys thanks for all the help but I figured out that it was just a bad sim all along and that the first school screwed me over
But everything works now

[Q] Porting SG3 from Verizon to AT&T

Good day everyone!
I recently had my # ported from Verizon to AT&T. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. Once ported, texting and calling both work fine; however, I can not get the data to work. I have full bars, but it doesn't say "4G" where it once used to. When I try to load a web page or app it says no internet connection can be found.
The AT&T sales person who ported my # said she has done it with S3 Verizon phones before but for some reason couldn't get it to work. I talked to Verizon and they said while the phone was unlocked, it hasn't been fully disconnected (even though my account was) and the system will fully disconnect my phone at the end of my next billing cycle, but that they couldn't guarantee the data would work after being fully disconnected.
I looked around on the site and the internet and I saw some people say Verizon phones are incompatible with AT&T network; and other posts say they have gotten it to work. So I am confused now.
On Menu...Settings...More Settings...Mobile Networks...Network Mode... It has GSM as an option but I tried selecting it but it still couldn't find the AT&T network.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Verizon V10 on AT&T Mobile data wont turn on

Hey guys, recently switched to AT&T from verizon 2 months ago. The guy at AT&T typed in the APNs and all is good besides poor reception at my house. Last night i turned off mobile data to see if my reception to send a text got better. Now I cant get mobile data to turn back on... It says add mobile service please contact customer service and gives the verizon customer service number. Any ideas on how i can get it back on? I've tried everything i can think of besides activating it on verizon again....
You might need to manually enter your APN since this is a Verizon device running on AT&T. Also if you are using an AT&T SIM you might need to input an IMEI for AT&T to get back on. These are the issues you run into trying to use CDMA/Unlock phone for one carrier (unlocked does not mean full functionality on all networks, if that was the case there would be only a single model of the V10) on a GSM carrier.

I did manually enter the APN... It senses not connected to VZW and then says to call VZW customer service... might have to activate on verizon again turn on data and switch sim?
The same exact thing happened to me a month ago
Go to: Settings>Backup & Reset>Network Settings Reset
it will turn your data back on by default but you might have to put your APN info back in
hope this helps
youre amazing!

Custom Rom (on i9300) not working on Virgin Mobile UK

So the other week i put Lineage 14.1 7.1.1/7.1.0 rom on my samsung galaxy s3. I just switched to virgin mobile uk i was previously with giffgaff and giffgaff worked completely fine on this phone and rom. Yes my phone is unlocked. It was originally on a EE contract then i unlocked it and used it with giffgaff (02). The problem i'm having is when i put the Virgin Mobile UK sim into the phone and boot it up it says "Emergency Calls Only". When i go into the network settings and mobile networks and search for mobile networks it shows T-Mobile UK (EE which is who virgin mobile use), Vodafone, O2 and Three. (These 3 here have a padlock icon at the end while T-Mobile does not. Im guessing this is good. When i tap on it it refuses to connect and just tells me to try again later. It might be worth noting that when i start up the phone it briefly says "Emergency Calls Only - Virgin" at the top of the handset which i assume its connected for a second and then disconnects, loses connection or gets kicked off? I was on the phone to Virgin for 20 minutes and after i told the guy i was using a custom rom he did say it might be possible that Virgin does not allow anyone with a custom rom on the network.
Is this possible?
Has anyone else ever used a custom rom on Virgin Mobile UK, could you connect or did you have problems?
Thanks, Luke.
Have you set the apn settings?.

Apn settings affect data and should not affect voice service.
Only way to test the Virgin rep's assertion would need to flash back to stock and try the sim.

Quite sure my s3 on a custom kernel was once using vermin so i doubt they'll block custom roms from the network..
Without apn settings you might get as far as edge but certainly wont get 2g or higher.

I think flashing a stock ROM and then trying to connect is the only way to eliminate another possible factor.
Ok, i'll try stock rom then i guess. What do you mean "Without apn settings you might get as far as edge but certainly wont get 2g or higher." I don't get any signal at all so that can't be the problem.
Does or can anyone help me find a faster download link or mirror for a UK version of the stock rom. Samsung-Updates download link from rapidgator is so slow. 7 hours *tears*
The only other place is sammobile.com but that may only be a bit faster.

If you need the btu 4.3 get it here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4vTiHTBB629OVlvY0pkcXN4ak0/view?usp=drivesdk

Tried stock rom, still no luck. Any other ideas? The Virgin guy said it could be a very very small chance that its the sim. But the fact it quickly displays virgin at boot up makes me think the sim is fine.
Maybe try the Virgin sim in another phone? Phone shows the correct imei? Not blacklisted?
Yeh I need to try this, literally no one in my family is on EE or anything using EE. What if the SIM does work in another phone what could be the problem with mine? Phone does show correct imei and it can't be blacklisted since it works with my giffgaff SIM.
Have you recently "moved house" from giffgaff to virgin and ported your number?. Your sim might not be activated. Im swinging with that from this point forward.
Text READY to 789678 from your old phone & SIM and your new sim if that doesn't work.
Moved house? Do you mean like switch from! Giffgaff to virgin? If so yes I just have switched. I was planning to keep my number but since I haven't got network I can't and haven't told them the PAC code.
How can I text a number of I don't have single or does that still work? ?
It is possible it's not active but the guy on the phone told me it was, he even got me to tell him the end 3 digits off the SIM to check.
The reason it's possible is because I ordered the SIM from them and the first one that was supposed to be delivered by YODEL was never delivered I called them that evening and they said we will just sent out another SIM anyway and so they did. This second SIM they sent out is the one I'm using and it might be the first SIM that is only active. But the fact the Virgin rep asked for the numbers of the sim and then told me it's active...I really don't know
Regardless, you must activate the sim, try the text i stated, if no joy try to call vm from the new sim and tell them the pac code then they swap the numbers over. If it doesn't ring out then I'd take it to carphone warehouse and ask them to set up the new sim card.
The sim is active as in it is alive and sending a response but it looks like the actual line attached to it isn't active. Sim cards must be activated to prevent the number attached to it from going stale as there is a forever decreasing amount of 07 numbers available for networks.
I'm convinced that the sim isn't activated, it will currently be a payg sim and might need to be topped up to activate it, then you transfer any number and remaining credit to your new contract/payg sim (if required).
You should still be able to call the carrier on an inactive line so long as the sim is alive. Failing that use a landline.

Well i've called virgin again and they say it is active. It has been over 24 hours. I've tried it in 2 other phones and it just doesn't connect. They even sent out a 3rd sim now and same problem. Definitely a problem there end then, i'm thinking?

Did you try the text to activate the sim?. As I said, the sim can be active as in valid to the system but not necessarily activated to prevent the number going stale and being returned to the pool after 6 months on no use.. Even if there is no signal at all you should have at least tried it once.
Maybe the sim is payg and needs a topup to activate. That could be another restriction.
I don't have any simcard documentation so I'm shooting at fish in a barrel but surely 3 sim cards on the trot can't be faulty. Something is amiss..
