Help Data stopped working - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help, my data was working fine on my galaxy i9100 with att's dumbphone data plan until 30 minutes ago. It was working fine then stopped out of nowhere. I can send texts and calls but can't send mms or browse on the internet. The bars stay greyed out too on top. I've flashed different roms and formatted my phone but still does not work.

Did you check your APN settings to make sure they are correct?

The apn setting should be correct. I've been using it fine for weeks. I was literally streaming a video and took a break to cook and came back and data stopped working.

Nevermind the problem fixed itself as magically as it came. Sigh. Wasted an hour or my life and formatted my rom for nothing. Really weird that data went away for 1-2 hours for no reason. Thanks for your help anyways.

No more Texting :(

So I found out that nobody is receiving my texts anymore on my vibrant. I upgraded to cm7 worked great then I did the nightly upgrade and it will still say its sent but people don't receive them. So I wiped everything started again upgraded to miui and I still have the same problem. Could there be something wrong with my network settings I messed with the testing setting a little (you know the *#*#4636#*#*) when i was tryin to fix the battery drain on cm7 which i never did
Make sure that your APNs are set correctly. There is one in there for data and wireless and also one for MMS. I find that when I have had problems like this in the past it has been due to those SMS/MMS settings being missed.
If i were you i'd just give TMO a call and ask what your APN is just to be sure that its not different or anything...
If i had this problem on more than one rom, i'd panic and do that right away.
I used to be a text-er like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
I sure hope, I'm not having the same problem.

[Q] Data suddenly not working. Please help.

First let me start with the phone:
AT&T Galaxy S II running 4.1.1 SuperNexus Rom Build 4-20121007. Kernel is 3.01.15-CM-g3802d32 faryaa kernel. Baseband 1777UCLE5
Everything was working fine. I've been running SuperNexus for about a month. The only initial problem I had was that the baseband was not working upon startup and I had to put a new baseband in for it to work, got that fixed and been flying smooth for a month with no issues. Today...suddenly it stopped being so smooth.
Let me clarify:
- I can make outbound calls and hear just fine (couldn't do that when baseband was wrong)
- I can recieve and send text messages
- I show a full reception bar up top with 3g, the signal bar is grey. That may mean something or it may just be the color theme for this rom. I didn't really pay attention before the issue.
- Network info: AT&T network, Signal Strength -83 dBm 15asu, Mobile Netowrk type UMTS:3 HPSA+ :15, Service state is 'in service', Mobile Network Status 'connected'
I was literally in the middle of surfing the internet and pulled up a browser for a webpage, suddenly it hung in terms of loading the website. It did nothing for about ten minutes. I then found that all apps that use data do not work. They attempt to load but give errors. I rebooted the phone several times, shut it down fully several times, removed the battery and sim card, replaced and restarted. None of that worked. I made a call out to a friend and he could hear me and I him very clearly, call dialed out and connected without issues. Text messages come and go just fine.
The only thing I can think of is that they turned on the 4g signal in my area, or near it today and maybe there's an issue there.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

My friend was having literally the exact same issue today on his S3 and I was having a little problem on my phone too. At this point I think it's AT&T. My S2 was not go to HSPA+ it would just stay on 3G when I turned data on.
It is AT&T. They are changing the APN they use for data. I posted a fix for this in the other thread relating to this issue.

[Q] Cannot send or receive MMS, Omega v. 16.2

Hi, I've got 3000 MMS per month from my service provider, and my SGSII GT-i9100 is randomly not sending/receiving the MMS. SMS works just fine as always, but MMS is troubled. Sometimes, it will send/receive MMS without a problem, but then again sometimes it won't. It just gets stuck on "sending"-animation, and after a reboot it says that it failed to send the MMS. Just now, I managed to send 1 MMS to my gf, and then the second MMS got stuck on the "sending"-animation.
The settings have been double checked at least 10 times, the ROM has been wiped and reflashed several times, and Wi-Fi has not been on (I first noticed this problem when I accidentally had Wi-Fi on and then tried to send MMS, after that I instantly turned Wi-Fi off and the problems have persisted ever since).
Browsing online works great, and uploading files too. Signal strength is almost at max all the time etc...
I've used several ROMs, now I'm on Omega v. 16.2, and I use Go SMS Pro to send my sms/mms... The stock sms-app is installed too, but I don't use it. Also I've made wipe settings and caches and fixed permissions a dozen times... Nothing has helped that I've tried. Sometimes the MMS works, but mostly it won't.
SIM card must not be the one to blame, as I can send MMS with my Gio, that has some custom ROM also, and this SIM attached to it...
Any fixes?

[Q] Strange data problem, Nexus 5

Hey all,
Recently, in the last 2 weeks, I've been having an odd data problem on my nexus 5 (4.4.2)
Where my data icon is orange, instead of white, yet I have full working internet access.
However, things like WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, won't sync until I get WiFi, but yet, I can send and receive messages?
I've tried rebooting, the airplane mode trick, full factory reset, and new APN settings.
I'm on T-Mobile/EE UK. PAYG. Been with them a week-ish.
I was on orange/ee before, and that stopped working entirely, but that was orange, not my phone, cos apparently my number didn't exist. Lol
I deleted all my apns and put them all back again, which fixed it for about 5 seconds, now its back orange again!
WiFi works perfectly.
I get an error when trying to sync Google sound search. But everything else works fine.
Any idea what it could be?
APNs? Phone, or network?

Question 4G+ Not working anymore

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my device since yesterday. I wanted to make calls but as soon as I try to call someone I was getting "couldn't connect message"
I thought that it's maybe something to do with the carrier but i restarted my device, and after the restart I saw that I now only have 4g, and not 4g+ displayed, and still got the couldn't connect message then trying to call anyone. When switching to 3g/2g in settings I was able to call, and I was also able to receive calls even when on 4g.
My internet is working fine over mobile data, there were no issues with it.
Also, VoLte icon is being displayed all the time, thatdidn't go away.
At some point yesterday I was able to make calls over 4g again, but never regained the 4g+ and a few calls dropped after 5-6 minutes of talking.
I tried a SIM card from a different provider, but still see just 4g, and not 4g+
So I am not sure what could be the issue anymore.. Did anyone maybe encounter something similar after this last update? Maybe that's the issue. I don't know if I should consider suspecting a hardware issue because internet works fine all the time.
Clear system cache, clear sim toolkit data, and do a network reset.
See if that gets it...

Thanks for the tip!
I actually tried doing all of that and nothing was helping.
At the end I changed the CSC back to my stock one (TOP) and 4g+ is back.
I have no idea why this happened because I was using BTE csc for months and everything was ok. I'm just glad that it's not a hardware issue.
