Well it connects, try a reset or even flashing a stock rom again, (4.1.1 from http://www.sammobile.com/)
and it doesn't hurt to check IMEI.

Well connection seems fine, might be a good time to call the carrier and see if they disabled data or something.
Have you tried another SIM that is known to have data?

data problems?

My friend has an HTC Droid Eris and it was running slow so she did a factory reset through the settings menu and after that she said her phone ran a lot smoother and faster but there's one problem. Her internet is not working and her multimedia messaging isn't working. what should she do to get this fixed? She is on stock 2.1 and her phone is not rooted. Thanks in advance for the help!

If your friend performed a factory reset using the stock 2.1 software then the activation status of the phone was also cleared, and the phone needs to be reactivated.
Dial *228 and select option 1 when prompted.
Well her texts and calls and everything is working. Just not the mms and internet

Text and calls => 1x/RTT
MMS and Internet => Mobile Network
Perhaps she inadvertently toggled off the Mobile network? ( The stock ROMs have a toggle for it not only using either the HTC widget and the Android "Power Controls" widget, but also at the long-press of the End/Power button. )

I'm going to her house in a little bit so I will try both solutions

I tried both solutions, neither of them worked. Should I just root her phone and put a custom rom on it?

I'm guessing some of the data settings somehow got wiped out.
It may be a good idea to call up verizon and get someone in tech support or take the phone to a store. (Not that I don't want to help, there could be a number of problems going on here.)
If data will not work on stock then it will not work for a custom rom.

You could try re-performing the F/R on the off chance something strange happened - and if the mobile network does not come up, call Verizon repair. I would pursue that course of action before I started rooting a phone that seemed to not be working with stock software.

Tried everything and I still have the problem. Really nothing seems to work.
I'm reading about resetting my router, full wipe, your tip,...
Is there anything else left?
You can try reflash the latest firmware using odin.

Have you tried

If you are in the UK, update your modem to LH1 , I had this and lh1 was released to address this problem
Still haven't found a solution. Back to stock rom now and back to samsung for repair i guess.
I have the same issue (stock, unrooted, factory unlocked) and I have the LG8 modem. Only started after the latest OTA update which took me to LG8. It's not my router because I can make a 20 minute Skype call on my wife's iPhone and on this phone it cuts out after a minute or so, every time. Even as I'm typing this, I see the message on my screen telling me I'm reconnecting to my router every couple of minutes. Very frustrating.

Did WORK with ARHD 3.0!!! THX Mine problem solved!!!
I'm still trying to fix mine.
When i'm near my router/modem it can connect and download at slow speed. When I move away I lose connection.
And after a reboot or just when trying to connect from a further distance I get: authentication error occurred.
Even with my open network.
I think it started happening after the installation from the first OTA JB.
Maybe installing this one again could help?

Mobile data and Wi Fi aren't working

Mobile data connects but won't load anything...works on other phone.
And WiFi disconnects instantly after connecting or stays in obtaining IP address loop. It was working fine few hours ago. Now I tried to reset router, phone but still its not working. All other phones and PC are working fine with WiFi.

For mobile data have you added your service providers details in APN?
Wifi, IP address correct?
If they are try reflashing Firmware via odin.

I would suggest trying a factory reset. Just make sure that you save any data that you want to keep, like messages, contacts and stuff like that before you try to reset.

[Q] Data Roaming Problem (Cyanogen Mod Nightly Latest Verison atm)

I recently installed the latest version of Cyanogenmod Android version 4.3.
Everything seems to be working fine, texts calls and wifi BUT the data connection.
I can't get data working.. I tried reflashing the rom several times, that didn't work. It says (OUT OF NEIGHBORHOOD) underneath the data sign in the notification center. It gives me a weird error saying "DATA ROAMING" Your network cannot connect or something like that.
PLEASE HELP ME. It's my first time on this ROM and it looks great, but I need data..:crying:

Seems like an obvious solution but under Settings, then Mobile Networks, is Data enabled? Also what is checked for "Preferred Network Type"? People on VZW seem to be saying that "Global" should not be checked and instead it should be ""CDMA+LTE/EVDO."
Outside of that, I am not sure what could be going wrong.....sorry.
