Problem with 3G usage which leads to pin code requests - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
before I start, I wanna say I have read many threads and used the search function but I still couldnt solve my problem.
I have the I9100G and I was testing different roms, like cm10, supernexus and jelly bam and always the latest versions.
My problem is, when I used mobile internet with my provider, my phone lost its APN settings from time to time. A reboot could bring up the APN settings back and I could use the internet again.
So I was installing APN backup and restore and I think it kinda helped me (also did the integration into the system with titanium backup). now the APN settings do not suddenly disappear but my phone goes into the pin code menu from time to time. from what I read I assume it is because of lost signals.
Then I tried with GetRil and I matched my basedband with RIL (XXLPV).
However, the problem is still there. Whenever I am not using 3G (e.g. internet via wi-fi), the phone is okay, but if i have 3G on for some time my phone asks for the pin code.
What I could do is of course to disable the pin code, but because of security issues i dont wanna do that and the problem wouldnt be really solved.
I would appreciate any help or idea what might cause my trouble.
Thanx

I had this all the time with JB roms, however when I changed the stock kernel to dorixmanx (currently using the 7.4 Mali version) they've stopped. Might wanna give it a try and see if it works for u?

Thanx for the info.
I couldnt find the dorixmanx but I tried another kernel like powerhorse and I also did a full wipe. But i still have the problem. now I am using my phone without pin code lock. I mite try cm9 or even go back to stock rom 4.0.4...
any helps are more than appreciated.

Automatic WiFi/3G data connection switching on 2.2 ROMs

While I was running the Stock SE 2.1 .435 release (rooted of course) my X10 was capable of automatically switching between the GSM data connection to any of my configured Wifi networks (at work and at home) without any user interaction.
I have a friend with a Motorola Milestone on 2.1 with this same behaviour.
Every 2.2 ROM I have loaded seems to have a problem with regards to this feature. Basically I have to perform a manual switch but here are two of the behaviours I have noticed.
On FreeX10 the SSID basically becomes disabled. If I am at home and connected to my home network and leave the cell area my 3G network becomes established and everything is fine. Once I get back home within the cell area of my WiFi network the WiFi connection does not become active. Instead I have to go into Wireless Settings and that's when I see it is disabled. Long press the SSID and choosing Connect gets me connected.
On [Cyanogen6.1.3]gingerbread[v01] the SSID does not get disabled but rather it continuously fails. Same use case as above except when I go into Wireless Settings I see the SSID "Connecting" and then failing and entering the "Remembered" state.
My friend with the Milestone recently upgraded to 2.2 and will test this scenario to see if it is inherent to 2.2.
My question is, would it be possible to take the 2.1 Wifi component and use that in the 2.2 ROMs?
It would be great this could get fixed, same problem is with the gingerbread roms.
Like u said, it doesn't even help when switching WiFi off/on again using my WiFi widget. U have to manually press connect on your specific WiFi connection.
Pain in the ass!

I have the same problems, tried both roms and ended up sticking with Cyanogen, simply because it was less of a pain re wifi but i still have reconnection problems when leaving my house. The answer is to manually turn off wifi then leave, then reengage wifi manually when i return. A pain but, a small one
Agreed. Toggling the power does not help.
If it is possible to take the WiFi component (for lack of a better word) from another build I strongly suggest considering .435 because it worked phenominally under various conditions.
yea my wifi doesn't seem to work well either with the FreeX10 rom
I assume you already tried Blade Wifi Fix? If not, do so.
The Blade fix was included in the CM ROM I installed. It looks like all it did was power cycle the wifi which as already stated doesn't help.

Try to delete included BladeWifiFix and reboot test again and if still not working install BladeWifiFix new from Market and test again.

FreeX10 is almost the same you can try it there too. What it does? Fix Wifi maybe, for some it fixes for some not so just try it you dont loose anything^^
i have been running free x10 for 3 months i suppose. it switches fine for me.
there where issues of WIFI NOT CONNECTING , no problems of switching though as u stated. so i installed blade wifi and everything was well.
i suggest what wolf says.

I know what it is intended to do but I was wondering how it was doing it. being a technical person I don't like the shotgun approach because the end results are very hard to interpret if you don't know what you are actually doing
but I digress I have installed it and I will be testing as soon as I get home

hi,
after reading this i though ...
me and wolf include blade wifi on our roms.
for me i don`t have any issue regarding wifi on my rom. i get out of home with wifi connected do a 1 hour trip to my work and when i get there wifi pick signal without any issue.
but......
i don`t check right away, so.
like i said me and wolf we include blade wifi and do some changes regarding build.prop to save some battery. one of the most consumer of battery is the wifi.
on SE roms search for wifi every 15 seconds. on mine i change that to 380 sec and wolf around 200 (i think) so...could this be the cause of ????
i personally don`t believe removing blade will do any difference but...maybe those who had this issues try to change build.prop to 15sec ?
well we might be onto something...after installing Blade I was able to switch but I did not time it...seems to have taken quite some time though. I'll time it next time but I'm sure since it will vary because it looks like it runs a timer and I don't know what the details are.
I wonder if Z made the same changes to build.prop as you guys have. I would be interested in testing without this change.
Also, it would be great to know what Blade actually does. I wonder if it circumvents the changes you made to the intervals in build.prop.
Also, any idea as to whether we can use the WiFi component from the .435 build in these ROMs?
Ren,
Is it possible to go in and change the value in build.prop:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=
Without reloading the ROM?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yes.
Through root explorer. Just make sure you check all boxes on permitions and after that reboot.

OK. I've been watching what Blade does and all it seems to do is reinitialize the wifi. Seems overkill so I found this:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiConfiguration.Status.html
I want to write an app that will monitor configured networks and set their status to Enabled.
The challenge for me is that I've never developed an app before but I have the SDK installed and it recognized my x10 so I'm good to go. Ill try to get as far as I can but I will need some help. Is there anyone interested in offering themselves as a resource if/when I need some help?

[Q] Urgent with my wifi

HELP !!! here's a thing
my phone is rooted and on X10 2.1
my phone can scan different wifi but not my home wifi, some others wifi also can't be scanned, can it be solved ?
What do you mean it can scan other networks? Are you having trouble seeing networks or connecting to them? What Tom and kernel are you on? Can you connect to the network with other devices? Did this start all of a sudden or has it been going on? Did you make any recent changes to your phone?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Sorry, i am new to this phone, what is Tom and Kernal ?
i am having problem with seeing networks, i tried to use my ipod to connect my home wifi and it succeed.
It has been going for nearly a month
No recent changed has been made as i remember
btw, after continuous reboot of my router, my phone can connect to it
but what's going on wif the wifi ?
Damn autocorrect... I meant "rom". Have you flashed an aftermarket rom or kernel with xrecovery?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
No, i didn't flashed any ROM wif xrecovery or other programs
but i used ADB theme only
What do you mean adb theme?
If restarting your router worked, and other networks work, I'd assume the issue is with your router. But if you want, you could try re-flashing with Flash Tool or doing a SEUS repair.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
um...
sorry it should be adw theme
but i don't think it's my router problem ...
because when others use their phone to share wifi, i also can't see their networks but others can
Flash a custom ROM and see if it works with a different ROM. I know nothing should be wrong with the stock ROM but maybe you did something accidently. You could reflash 2.1 but if you're gonna do all that and you're already rooted why not just go custom.

Because that's introducing another variable into the troubleshooting process.

Why not? It doesn't add any new variables, in fact its likely the opposite, if it works with a custom ROM then you know its a ROM problem. Flashing a custom ROM would replace the same files as reflashing stock, it doesn't make a difference. If it doesn't work with another ROM and you're positive it's the phone it could be the radio and you might want to try reflashing the BB.
It doesn't sound like its a phone problem though, check your settings and try the app 'Blade Wifi fix' and make totally sure its not the router or your home wifi settings. Is there a limit set to how many users can log onto your network or a firewall that's preventing your access?

i don't think there's any limitation on numbers of users using my wifi
i will try to use that app first
is there any where i can download the app, i can't connect to wifi to download it from the android market
i downloaded the app you mentioned but somehow i can't find it on my phone
Lol you aren't supposed to find the app it works as soon as its installed. But flashing a custom rom will help you because then you can see if it connects or not.

Data Connection not working anymore after flashing

Hey guys i got a problem.
After flashing my phone normally with Odin like usual all of a sudden data connection aint working anymore. I works fine with wifi, but not without.
It shows 3G/H signal in the status bar, and i see the upload arrow is blinking so it is sending data, but not receiving anything.
I tried googling it, tried flashing various different roms that worked before and original firmware, but nothing helps so far.
I checked the provider info in the phone, and its all correct.
Kinda lost here, hope someone has an idea how to fix it
thx in advance
nobody? i tried everything so far and dont even know why its not working anymore
It's going to be difficult to get much help here because I don.t think most developers have had time yet to get into the innards of the A501. Have you tried flashing back to the original stock ROM? You did back it up before you flashed it with a custom one right?
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
No nandroid backup, only titanium backup since i never had problems before.
I tried flashing all kind of original firmware now, KH1-3, even older ones, the latest. tried all custom roms that worked fine before.
Tried different sim cards, readded the APN settings etc.
Found out now that 2G is working, but as soon as i switch to 3G etc it shows the signal for that, i see upload but no download, so it basicly stops working.

Dial *#301279#. If it doesn't work, dial *#*#301279#*#*
Select 2nd option (Change HSPA revision or whatever).
Then select 3rd option (Release 6).
Restart.
Also, check your APN settings.
Use an app called Tweakker which will configure your apn if u dont know exact settings.
thanks for the quick replies guys.
so i did play with the codes today already, the option you stated i tried but sadly it didnt change anything.
HOWEVER i did choose disable HDSPA completly now, so i am on 3G only and guess what, now it works!!
Speeds are not what they used to be at this location, but that might be due to my data limit so i have to check.
With other codes i found out that while being on H/H+ phone didnt download 1 byte, so i have to wonder why.
With 3G it is working now, but what could the cause be. Used to flash quite often and it always worked, so not sure if thats even related to my problem atm.
Any idea what might cause the H stuff not working at all? I read about the SII getting stuck on H+ etc. before, but all the tricks with rebooting or toggling flight mode etc. didnt work for me
so far, thanks a lot!
Try different modems. Depending on ur location and service provider, atleast one should work right. I'm using KI3 modem without problems.

i tried several modems from the original firmware thread under development. they all used to work fine before, now they dont. KI3, KI8, KH3 etc. all nothing :/
Hmm strange. May be you should delete all apns, and configure a new one for your provider.
Also give KG5 and KG2 a try.
i am having a SGS2 with KI3 and sensation rom 1.7 with kernel siyah 2.0. after doing this i am also facing a problem with my data connection. it works but its on / off.
can you suggest come remedies like now please .............

[Q] Absolutely stumped - 3G/Image Caching

Hey all,
I am a previous Galaxy S user and now have the S III. I know my way around Android OS but am STUMPED here!
When wi-fi is OFF (mobile network), Google Play store wont render any images whatsoever. I can still get to apps, read description and buy them, but no images. Every now and then I get a "Error: no connection" error when previewing an app but when I retry it works (still no images though) - "Couldn't load Screenshots - retry"
The same is true for Foursquare and one or two other apps. I am not in a bad area - perfect reception and HSDPA.
Twitter and others do not have this problem, but the apps that do experience it are doing so continuously and without fail. I can not stop it happening, unless using Wi-Fi, which is not so often as I am moving around a lot.
I have cleared cache/data from several applications in the list, restarted phone etc etc.. I am avoiding having to do a hard reset here as much as possible as I have to travel this week and do not have time to re-do my all my apps etc etc..
Is there a way to clear DNS cache or something on these phones? It seems as though when using regular mobile network, certain apps get stuck and can't receive certain data while others have no issues whatsoever.
Please help guys - any suggestions are much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Wit
Same problem man tried everthing I've managed to find. Not much on the issue the issue though.

Change the dns settings. For wifi it's in wifi in settings then press the bottom left capacitive button on the phone and edit it. I'm guessing mobile network is also more or less the same.
Use 8.8.8.8 . Always works

Typical. I work at one of the SA networks.

I had this problem. Try this

Then make sure you are set to Internet and not WAP

I hope this solves it for you

Sent me mental when I 1st had my S3. It worked fine with my O2 SIM and on Orange it only loaded a few images on each page.
Finally found that setting as its been fine since.
It seems like the phone defaults to Orange WAP and not Internet. The O2 SIM caused a pop-up asking me which mode I wanted to use

Hey buddy.
Wish I could give you a finite solution but I never really came right with this until I installed a custom Rom on my phone. Running stock I always had issues with the images in the play sore. I'm with Vodacom down here so dunno if it's network related.
If you go with a custom Rom I highly recommend the final ICS FoxHound 1.4.4 release. Been through many roms and this is by far the best as a daily runner.
Hope you come right man!

Hi buddy,
If you haven't found any solution yet:
I too am using Vodafone Mumbai network and started facing this problem quite recently (could have been just after I flashed LI5 ROM).
Anyway I scoured the net for solutions and found nothing that helped. So through some trial and error I found this solution:
Go to APN screen where you should have two APNs: "www" and "portalnmms".
Hit menu button and click on "Reset to defaults".
Then select "portalnmms" as the default APN.
Solved all issues for me!
I am having this exact same issue. Using Vodafone 3G in Mumbai on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Tried to set "portalnmms" as default APN but can't. Tried changing the "www" proxy to 8.8.8.8 but that didn't work at all. Is there a solution here?
8.8.8.8 is a dns server (powered by Google) not http proxy. You must either use your carrier's proxy settings or leave it blank

Galaxy note i717 weird data.

I don't know if its my network or the kernel. But after flashing the 4aceskernel last night i enabled the fast charged and left it all night with airplane mode on,so i don't get bother. Now this morning i disable airplane off and fast charger off,and i enable my data and roaming, after that i try to get on play store,and it stock on loading with the circle going around,after couple seconds it says connection timeout. I dint pay attention to it, i left it alone.later on i try to use the Facebook app i couldn't it stock on loanding and after couple minutes it says network error. I went to my browser and search something on Google and it was working. I search the letters b,c,d just to check if it was my network. But it turn out that it wasn't my network at lease that's what I'm thinking.so i had some twrp backups from different ROMs and in all of them it still the same problem. I can use the internet to search even i can use xda and i can download ROMs but i cant use the data on any gapps. Or even the Google voice on the stock,opera,chrome,Firefox,dolphin browser. Not even gmails or Facebook. Yes my apn settings are correct.my accespoint is selected in my network.by the way i use net10. I search on Google about this problem but it just show different problems with the network nothing related to my issue. Help in need! Remember all this happen after flashing the kernel #31. Just to get this clear im not blaming this on the kernel because i don't even know if the kernel have to do anything with this,since I'm the online with this issue .but i came here because this the only thing i flashed last night. Any help will be appreciated guys/girls.
I'm on lattes jellyb*m ROM but like I say I went back to stock roms even GB,ICS,jb nothing that I do make my data works correctly.
