So I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant SGH-T959, I carefully researched and read how to safely upgrade to a custom OS, so I installed CM10 (I may switch to Helly Bean). Upon booting up my phone for the first time I was greeted with the screen to sync my Google account, but first I needed to choose a network. Only problem, it only gave Wifi as an option, and it didn't automatically connect to my data plan.
Upon digging through the settings, I found a list of network operators, so I selected T-Mobile. I then realized that was for text/calls, so I looked at my list of APN's, which was empty.
Like an idiot, I didn't back up any info, let alone my network settings, before I flashed CM10. Is there a way that I can regain access to my mobile internet? Or is this a hardware compatibility issue?
My experience with flashing / editing / general jailbreaking type actions is... in its infancy, so if you would be so kind as to spell it out for me, or to point me to a link that explains it for newcomers, that'd be great!
Well all you have to do is enter the proper APN for T-Mobile. Try this: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1976
If there are further issues you can ODIN back to stock.

Figured it out. Upon further research, I found that I needed to turn on and off airplane mode.
Data working, play store initializes downloads, won't download
I have cm10 installed on my Vibrant sgh-t959, and I am trying to install all my apps synced with my google account, but it doesn't want to work on my data connection. I can browse the internet and use online services just fine, but it doesn't want to download in the play store? Works on wifi.

That's a statement, not a question!
If you need some help, more information is going to be needed. I presume from your statement that you are unable to download any applications from the Market over WiFi?
If that's the case:
1. Does it work over the cellular network?
2. What precisely happens over WiFi?
Regards,
Dave
I noticed this same issue today as well. Over the cellular network or wifi, i can't download or update apps. When I check on the status of the app after trying to download it, it just says it's downloading with no end in sight. I can use the browser, check email, update weather, etc... but, the market is 'useless'. I'm running a stock hero.
it works over wifi but takes ages to start, sometimes it starts inmidiatly and sometime it takes a while. i'm not sure where the problem is. but maybe this will be fixed with the new market.
Try starting Google Talk to see if this causes the downloads to start - I've heard of numerous cases where this has "cured" the problem, presumably because some of the GTalk components are common to the Market. It may help, it may not, but it is worth a try.
Regards,
Dave
I know this isn't an option for some, but I just decided to flash the modaco 2.2 rom and market is working fine. I did notice my LEDs were not working today so that kind of pushed me to flash the rom again. I kept the original radio (updating the radio to the latest a couple weeks ago meant I couldn't use my data connection :S) and it's working fine.

had/have this problem also sometimes, my solution is quite simple. jsut reboot the phone, and everything works fina and normally
I received my SGS2 on Monday - pre-installed with the latest firmware (KE7) - and had problems immediately trying to get Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync configured.
I entered my configuration, consisting of
email address
Domain: user name
password
Exchange server
and a tick in the 2 SSL boxes
but kept getting error messages like:
Setup could not finish
Unable to connect Server
or
Setup could not finish
Activation failed. Unable to connect to network. Try again with network provider's default APN.
And before anyone asks, I did have a working data connection (automatically configured) and had no problems with internet access, email, weather updates on the widget, downloading apps from the store, etc, etc. I tried lots of different values for exchange, did a number of hard resets, etc - no joy. And then I brought the phone home, connected to my wifi and tried again. It worked!
I didn't believe it myself, so the next day I did the following:
Hard reset, wiped everything including cache.
Switched on phone, entered details for exchange - same error message as above
Drove home, outside the house, switched on wifi, entered my connection details and tried again (the details that previously failed were still on the screen, I reused them with no changes)
And it worked!
I would have thought that any application, including the Exchange configuration utility on my phone, would be agnostic as to how its data was delivered to our corporate exchange server; O2 GSM data or BT home broadband connection through a wireless router, who cares?
Anyway, this was driving me mad before I stumbled on this "solution" and hopefully the above can help someone. I'll also pass this info back to Samsung.
Before I go, does anyone want to comment on what the problem could be - O2 network blocking some type of traffic, hardcoded values deep in the configuration utility, etc, etc?
Hi,
Me too facing the same issue with my Samsung Ace S5830. I tried to configure my outlook with same module from other set it worked perfectly fine. I am facing issue with only my mobile set.
So I guess its not generic problem across all mobile set.
If any one is aware of this, please help ?
Regards,
Satish
FIXED !!!
I rang my network provider - o2 - and explained my problem. I was expecting to be told that if my data was working for other things then it wasn't their problem if there was an issue with my exchange client.
I was wrong! The guy I spoke to took me through the config in:
Settings - Wireless and network - Mobile networks - Access Point Names
Basically, we blew away the existing APN config and entered a new one from scratch. If I remember correctly, the new entries were the same as the old with the exception of Proxy and Port. These had values in the original APN I was using and they were left blank in the new one.
And it worked!
The o2 network - or more specifically the proxy - was not liking some of the data produced by the exchange client (which was SSL) and was refusing it.
So, lessons learned:
O2 support for me was great
If you have a similar problem, try ringing up your provider and ask them if the APN settings (which are usually automatically generated) are correct for your device.
I couldnt get the Exchange Server settings to work on my brand new i9100, I've installed Touchdown and it appears to have fixed the problem with the native exchange setup
Setup could not finish - fix
I have been looking for the fix for the problem;
Setup could not finish
Activation failed. Unable to connect to network. Try again with network provider's default APN
In the end the fix was simple in my case, I had the wrong date and time. Once I had corrected the date and time it setup perfectly.
Hope this helps

Yes.. I tried 2 days later...
It sounds funny, but it worked with any changes...! :S
I'm in exactly the same boat. Everything was fine on Friday and then I tried a new ROM (KI8 based Touche X-Power) and, all of a sudden, Exchange no longer works. No reflash, no wipe and reinstall. I've also tried official ROM's but it just point blank refuses to set up. Touchdown works, but in-built Exchange doesn't. This is very, very strange. Is there an explanation that anyone can give? I'm stumped...
activation failed
I have the same issues. Today I upgraded to gingerbread then to cognition 5.2 and now I cannot get exchange set up. I dont know if its due to the upgrade or a total coincidence. I get the "activation failed. unable to connect to network. try again with networks providers default APN" I'm using the same exact settings for domain, exchange server, etc. as before but it will not work.
same here. from lightining rom (2.3.4) to 2.3.5 roms. same issues with all the roms.
+1 To this problem. No idea what is causing it. Tried flashing to Villain ROM, had the issue. Flashed to Lightning ROM, same thing. Had to flash back to an older ROM because this problem was so annoying! Didn't work on either Wifi or 3G, with everything double and triple checked. Seems to work fine on my older ROM.
Same issue here. I've only been on stock with an At&t SG2. It was fine intially...I then wiped the phone for personal reasons and now I get this same error... try again with network provider's default apn. I tried with Touch Down and Enhanced Email and it works fine, but no luck with the native client. Very odd!! Btw, my device runs 2.3.4.
I hope someone is able to pinpoint the problem.
Same issue here.
Was on Cog. 1.51, exchange was working fine, flashed CM7 for a couple of days again no issues, now went back to 1.51 and getting the above messages. Wiped, cleared cache, etc, nothing works.
Same issue here. It was working fine when I originally configured it on Friday night. I wanted to change my google account on the device, so I did factory reset. Now I can't add my exchange accounts.
I contacted the Rogers (wireless provider) as well as Samsung Canada (useless weekend support staffs). Rogers points to Samsung. Samsung points to my company's MIS team!?!?!?!
Anyhow, I read the activation dialogue box again and again.
"By activating this application you accept that part of your movile phone data will be stored, processed and used by Samsung for the purpose of reporting activation of the application to the licensors of the application s/w itself. Such data held by Samsung will be dealt with strictly in accordance with Samsung's privacy policy. A copy of the policy is available upon request. Continue?"
It looks like it's trying to contact Samsung server to register the Exchange activation. I'm guessing they're trying to count number of exchange (activesync) users. Maybe, to pay greedy Microsoft.
I'm going to try again tomorrow.
glad to know there are many others, just flashed touch x rom, it actually worked, but the video playback was stuttering so i thought to flash it one more time,...and then cant activate exchange mail...tried flashing other roms didnt work, but a revert back to stock rom from nandroid backup works...getting confused here also
This has been driving me nuts for the last day and a half, funny that this topic's just exploded with replies. Sounds like it's a problem with Samsung's servers (Or their mail provider, Seven) activating the device for exchange. Vexingly, it worked absolutely fine until I switched ROMs and had to re-enter the settings, I've wiped all data multiple times and flashed many a ROM to try and fix it, but still no joy. Glad to hear I'm not alone, at least, sounds like we'll have to wait for Samsung to fix it.
In the meantime, people, don't remove your exchange setup.
EDIT: Emailed Samsung NZ about it, looking forward to their response.
i'm having this problem too.
I was on kh3 rom, all work perfectly.
Then (why? why? why?) i changed yesterday to the ki3.
No more exchange, i gone back to the kh3 but nothing changed, same problem.
On wifi, 3g, also using the wifi connection on the same network of the server exchange.
Any ideas? I need those email for work ç_ç
Me too.on cm7 works
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Since we have to wait for Samsung (Or possibly Seven) to fix it, your best bet is to use another email client like K-9 (Free in the market) or one of the AOSP ones floating around. This is only an issue with the stock Samsung email application, so CM7 & MIUI et al will be fine.
You can try putting a tick in the 'set as premium account' box, which will sync email at push through the social hub - but that will only work if your exchange server supports POP or IMAP. That method will only sync email, not contacts and such, and it might not be the best idea for confidential work mail anyway. Still, beats not having any email access on the device..

Whenever I try to navigate somewhere or look up an address on google maps. my internet just stops working and I either have to reboot or go into airplane mode and come out. any others with this problem??
I have a vague memory of experiencing this before on another device. I think the problem was due to improper APN settings. If you go to you're APN list and you select one, scrolling all the way down you'll find 'APN type' . that tells the device what to use each APN for.
Currently on my sgsii I have 2 APNs, one for internet (named ATT PHONE), the other for mms & supl (named ATT WAP). Btw supl is what is used for aGPS. Check your APN settings with what they're supposed to be, correct ones can be found on att's site, see if the fixes it. You could also reset them to default.

I had this same issue when running serendepity 8.1. I also suffered the notorious MMS bug and I concluded that it had something to do with the APN's. I tried everything to get it to work and nothing. I wound up going back to cognition and it works fine again.

I just solved my problem! Since I'm running a newly installed ROM, I wondered if my APN settings were correct (you would think so, since I could browse the net over data). Anyway, I went into the APN settings, and there were several 2Degrees APNs configured. I changed my default from "2degrees mobile" to "2degrees internet", and now Google Play works over data!
Having same problem.
Using Neatrom 3.5 on my S2.
In UK with Giffgaff.
Cant access Play store over 3G/HSPDA+ , But over WiFi its fine.
Tried all the tricks - clear cache, sign in out, reset time, reset phone and reinstalled ROM
If i access play store over WiFi first (then turn WiFi off), then i can at least continue to access/browse it over 3G/HSPDA+, but i can only make new purchases over WiFi and never over Cell data.
Something weird going on

To solve the problem one thing i did was to go to Google Services Framework and clear data, reboot, clear play store data reboot and it should work.
Managed to fix my problem.
I tried all the clearing data/caches, relogging in etc etc and none of that worked.
After reading onlyonejoefish post about his carriers APN settings, it got me thinking.
As i'm in the Uk with GiffGaff i was getting my APN settings from texting "settings" to "2020" and a configuration message came back with them in - and that is what i'd been using.
However i downloaded an app to delete all my phones APN's, then manually inputted my APN settings myself.
This solved my problem, i can now access the play store over cell data

Finally solved the problem
i solved the problem of google in my android by downloading a app from this link below:
downloadhotportal.blogspot.com[/url]
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Do this and then this, noting accounts.db has moved to /data/system/users/0/ on Android 4.2. Note: This removes all your accounts from Android not just your Google account, but having to re-add them is a small price to pay for a working Google Play.
After this happened again, I tried an alternative to removing accounts.db which worked well. I created another Google account then went to
menu => Accounts
In Google Play and added my new Google account. Then I switched back to the original account. To clean up I went to
Settings app => Accounts => Google
Selected the new account then selected "Remove account" from the menu button.
To begin I love this ROM, it removes all the bloat and looks great; I just have a few problems I can't seem to resolve.
1. When I first set up my google account I managed to sync my gmail, contacts, etc. just fine to the phone. However when I tried to use either Google Plus or Google Now I was receiving both connection errors or security errors (Couldn't sign in - A problem occurred while communicating with Google Servers.). I managed to solve the latter by removing the network time synchronization options, however the connection problem persists. If I leave these options disabled all of my google apps cease to function so I've re-enabled them. Note at no point in time did my data stop working, I can browse the net just fine on the phone.
I have noticed that someone did post about similar issues in the main thread for the rom, however I was unable to find the solution they used to solve the problem. I would appreciate any help that could be provided.
If it is of any help I did attempt to flash Speed Rom, and it doesn't have these issues, so it leads me to believe it is some sort of configuration error.
2. GPS doesn't appear to be getting a lock. I'm indoors so this may be the reason for it not working, however the icon shows that it has gathered a lock, but my accuracy remains at 30 meters. I will test this further when I am out and about tomorrow to see if it works any better.
1. This problem came from Google server that has been widely reported on other forums as well. Honestly I don't know how to fixed it but I would recommend you try to re-flash the rom. Perhaps the data were save while Google server acted up and hence it saved to your phone. I personally turn-off the Google Now since it consumed too much battery though.
2. GPS: Download GPS Status & Toolbox or Faster Fix to get the right regional for your location. read the description when downloading those app since they may required Busybox installed
In order for GPS fast and accurate locked, sometime you need to turn-on Google Location service
Good luck
First and foremost, thank you for your response.
I did as you suggested and re-installed the rom. This time before doing anything else I enabled only my wifi and attempted to add an account right away.
System Settings > Accounts & sync > ADD ACCOUNT
Doing this left me with the following message:
"Couldn't sign in
Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Note this is over wifi not 3G. I have tried a few times to re-flash this rom and that doesn't seem to help. Any other idea's?
Did you, by any chance, turn-on data in setting>mobile data ?
This last time I didn't. Since I was using wifi I figured I wouldn't need to turn on my data?

Doesn't hurt to try my friend
By turning on 3G I have managed to log into my account and have it sync. However I am still getting a "Sign-in error".
Also the browser was unable to sync so I've disabled that. Now when I launch Google Plus I get the following:
"No connection
Couldn't connect to the server."
And with Google Now I'm getting
"Network error..."
Had this problem earlier too. It happened to me because I didn't do a data wipe when upgrading from Craigtuts earlier rom. HTH

Just a quick update, I have managed to get this ROM working.
There was suggestion in the original thread, by Ninjistix, for this ROM suggesting the installation of SpeedROM 7.8. Once installed go ahead and log into your google account, then flash this ROM by "formatting" / "wiping" everything except data. THIS DID NOT WORK FOR ME.
Out of desperation, I decided to restore my backed up STOCK rom. After doing so I, I logged into my google account and found that everything was working, no sign-in errors from anything at all. So I wiped everything EXCEPT data, flashed this rom and its been working perfectly since.
I'd like to thank Ninjistix for inspiring my fix and craigtut for making such a beautiful rom. Hopefully one of these two methods works for everyone else trying to flash this ROM.

thanks for the shout out, i was just coming here to direct you to one of my other post's related to that annoying sign-in error, we still haven't figured out the main reason behind it yet, but i as long as we have the work around of keeping the (user) data then i guess "all's well that ends well"
