I'll try to make this post as short as possible while still including all the details. I own an unlocked samsung galaxy s 2 in the US and have ATT as my provider.
After flashing different ROMs and firmware (exynos, lite'ning, cognition and the chainfire version of my firmware to be exact), my data connection is gone. I wrestled with it yesterday to no avail, because in the end my "Mobile network state" is always disconnected. Today, however, I changed the apn settings to the old ATT "wap" settings and the internet was restored. The speeds were somewhat slow, but i didn't care so long as they remained functioning. About two hours later - the connection crapped out. Oh, and I should also mention - I got a new sim card from ATT today assuming that my issue was a messed up and card from flashing too many roms with it still inside. Needless to say, that didn't work.
So, I'm here now attempting all sorts of remedies with no luck. ATM I am on cog 5.1 with the "correct" apn settings found here on xda, which hasn't worked either.
Has anyone else has this issue of losing their data connection altogether (although keeping wifi)? Does anyone have suggestions that might bring the data back to life?
Thanks!

what correct* apn settings are you using?
I'm using "phone" for the APN and leaving the rest blank (with the exception of APN type, which is internet).
Just minutes ago I reset to default APNs one more time to see if it would work, but nothing. I'll try the wap.cingular APN now to see if it at least picks up some data.

that doesn't work...
create a new apn
Code:
name-anything you want
apn-wap.cingular
proxy-<not set>
port-8080
[email protected]
password-CINGULAR1
server-<not set>
mmsc-http://mmsc.cingular.com
mms proxy-wireless.cingular.com
mms port-80
mcc-310
mnc-410
authentication type-<not set>
apn type-internet + mms
If you are still ' Rom hunting' as such, it is always a good idea to use program like apn manager so you dont have to manually enter your settings after every flash.
As my provider has nearly every field full, it can be a very timely exercise every time you change roms - lets face it, it can take some time to find the one we love

Those settings, wherever they're from, WORK. I had memorized the other common one already, so as soon as I saw the differences in yours I knew it would work. Unfortunately, I (literally) couldn't thank you enough for it.
Is that apn yours personally or just dug up from elsewhere here on XDA? I'm hoping it stands the test of time and continues to work after tonight... The speeds are all over the place for some reason, but at this point it doesn't matter to me, I'm just glad I don't need a WIFI connection at all times.
Oh, and the APN manager is downloading as we speak - good call. I've followed DG's from when I had my captivate a while back, so I'm gonna continue testing Cognition out for a little longer. Maybe like another day - then back to flashing =)

your welcome.
there are a number of apn settings floating around here, but the ones I provided always work
I don't remember where I got them...but they are pretty standard
I rooted and flashed my GF's SGS2 with wanamlite 13.0 ROM and its perfect.. but now, she called me and asked why she cant connect on the internet using mobile data.
No signal indictors like 'E', 'G' or 'H' are showing even she enabled the mobile data and neither changing GSM to CDMA vice versa worked.
She has also tried restarting the phone, searching the network operator and choosing the right one but to no avail. Her sister also has the same network provider but she doesnt have any problems on the mobile data.
Is it possible that it is a Phone defect? I really doubt it since she can do text and call using her SGS2.. Im confused >.<
PS: I've already tried searching this kind of question so please, dont post 'letmegooglethatforyou' links. Thank you.
First thing you do is go to the carriers website & get APN settings, write them down & check the APN settings on the phone. If there are APN settings on the phone but they're different in any way to the ones you got from the carrier's website, change them. If there aren't any on the phone (in settings/mobile networks/access point names), these need to be entered, make sure APN type is set to default.

Thank you for your wonderful advice..
Im so stressed that I even forgot that there is an APN settings needed (I swear that it is automatic in my own S2).
Anyways, I'll call her once again and try to work things out.. I hope she can understand and follow how to check/change the APN.
Will update once done.
Thanks again!
No probs Post again once you've checked/put the correct APN settings in if it's still not working & we'll nut it out further.
Went on a trip out of the country, messed with the APNs to get the phone to work with a foreign carrier. Back in the states, and now I can't connect to data at all. The Verizon APN is not listed as an option.
Have tried:
-Manually entering VZW APN settings w/ APN manager
-Pulling sim and rebooting
Can't think of anything else. Anyone have any ideas?
I use my DNA primarily on VZW but recently added a TMobile SIM card to my international travel kit. I found out the DNA is SIM unlocked so I jammed it in, set the APN settings and all was dandy. Phone worked very well.
Problem is, NOW I go back to the VZW SIM and the Verizon APN settings will not stick. I input the settings and save but then it retains the TMo settings.
I have signal bar but it won't get to internet or send/receive MMS. no 4G icon in the bar.
Anyone have experience with this?
Is there an app that allows me to easily switch between multiple APNs? It appears only one is saved at a time.
Does anyone else use multiple SIMs on any android devices and have suggestions on how to maintain this?
Stock Rooted with S-Off.
Steps taken:
Reboot, Clear Dalvic, Clear Cache
in APN click on 'Reset to default', the VZWINTERNET shows until I exit the screen, when I return it's TMobile settings
BTW: I have already tried suggestions here and it never saves. It will not add another APN. As soon as I go out and back in the new APN is gone.

So I got the PagePlus Sim Card, contacted P+ to register it and what I ended up with initially was no voice/txt/mms/data. Previously I had voice/txt/mms/3G. I loaded different roms, reformatted phone, did system restore but the only thing that got voice/sms/mms/3g back was changing from NV only to RUIM Only. OK, so at least I have that back. But no matter what I do I can't get the LTE! Did any one had any luck getting LTE working on their device? I noticed on the simcard package it said something like "you might have to change your APN settings". Can someone please help? Post your DFS screenshots maybe? APN settings?
Any luck? I considered trying, but being that I had a hard enough time getting 3G to work... I'm not so sure I'm willing to put much effort into it! You have to order the sim card, right? Or can you get it in a store somewhere?
I bought the sim card on eBay. Still no luck with LTE. P+ gave me apn settings but still nothing.
There is something weird going on with the APN settings. My rezound is running stock latest rom. By default there is one verizon APN entry - Internet. The weird part is that when I add any new APN it appears in the list but I cannot select it - there is no select bullet to the right. Also, why is the default APN's MCC is 311 and MNC 480? And if I enter anything other than those numbers for new APN entry and click save it does not appear in the list?
UPDATE: I figured out that if you include word "default" in APN TYPE field than it gives you a select circle for that APN.
