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.

How can I change my mms settings. when I open messages and the click settings then click connection settings it shows the settings but will not let me edit them can anyone help with this thank you
I belive there is a way to edit these settings via cdma workshop but i dont know too much about that
I cant get the phone to connect to the work shop
Does anybody know if they have rooted this phone yet I read the forum about it it does seem like they have yet
Root is a work in progress.
What are you messing with your settings for? if your having issues just run *288 and let it do it. if that doesnt work use the RUU Update, and then reprogram your phone and use *288

no, as above, edit security settings in epst
uhhh, yoo hooo! guys, the htc based android phones are dirt simple to program for use on another network..
I've had my eris running full on alltel over two months now with the unl. data plan. Never looses 3G, alltels 3G coverage is wicked sweet.
Getting Voice & SMS working:
Get current .PRL file for your network(alltel, sprint, vzw, cricket, etc..), google for it. Mount your phone thru USB, drag the PRL to the root of the SD card.
Unmount
Dial##PRL
Enter SPC code
Select PRL from SD
Restart Phone
Activate phone with your carrier, lie about what phone it is, i told alltel i'm a Samsung Delve, a phone they have.
They'll tell you to *228 it, this will work perfectly after you've programmed the PRL described above.
Hang up with them.
Getting data to work:
Dial ##PST send.
Enter SPC code
Go to security...
Google for those settings for your carrier and enter all that is asked for in that menu screen.
Do nothing else, restart the phone.
Now, setting up MMS on the Eris is a pain, I still can't get it.
When going to Messages, Settings, Connection settings, ... i am not allowed to edit those settings, they're stuck at vzw values.
IF .. and ONLY if I install the "quick settings" app in the market, disable mobile network, THEN go to messages, connection settings, .. i can now edit those values and change them to alltel's mms addresses... go home, them go back into messages, connection settings, all is saved, good. If I go and re-enable mobile network, ... the mms connection settings switch back to vzw... GAHH!!!

It's probably just allowing you to input settings but unable to save them due to lack of permissions. Looks like MMS is screwed until root gets here :\
how do you get web working on crickets network ive change the settings from the security but still no luck.

settings > wireless and network > mobile network > access point names > t-mobile
apn type: internet and mms
under access point names its blank. I can add a new apn but im not sure what all to add as far as proxy, port, user name, pass, server, ect...
edit: I got it to work thank you.
Also lost Data after flashing Wifi Calling app ...can't change settings in Mobile networks
think I've lost baseband...(whatever that means...basically phone won't recognize a sim card is loaded) is there a way to fix this without Oding ?
Does the phone say there's no SIM card inserted? If so, run to any T-mobile store and ask for a new SIM.
Also, I was having data issues two days ago. I keep a copy of the KB5 modem that's flashable in Recovery. Just re-flash and all was good.
T-mobile APN address:
epc.tmobile.com
Wish I could attach the KB5 file for ya, but I can't. Just search for it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
i dont know much about apn?
but under my apn it says simple and under that
it says tmobile us
But simple is the one thats highlighted But when i try to select tmobil us it sends me to page with lots of info like proxy and port #etc...
I get data connection with simple but i think my data connection would be better with tmobil if i could get that to work.
anyone know how to do this????????? how do u fill out the apn page with what info do i put in?
or know wht simple means??????????
Apn type, wht do i put there?????
I've searched to the best of my ability and can't find much help. My problem is that when I'm any custom ROM (tried about 5 including CM7, CM9 and RootBox JB) I must manually switch APNs when I get a MMS message. So for example, if I receive a picture message, I have to go into my APN setting and manually select my MMS APN, then go back to my messaging app and hit download. Then once it downloads, I have to go back into my APN setting and switch back to my internet APN. On the stock ROM this was not the case. I have all the correct settings, I'm absolutely sure. I've tried editing the apns-conf.xml file to add my carriers settings. Tried flashing without the sim card in. Can't seem to get it to work. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can provide.

I assume you mean combine the two APN settings. I've tried that. All that does is leave me without internet or mms capabilities.
Seriously? what provider do you have? I'm guessing since you're in the USA judging by the american flag in your profile that you're on ATT or straight talk? Telling us what provider you have would help quite a bit..
Edit, I thought help me, help me I'm dying questions belong in the QnA forums?
Sorry, knew I was forgetting something. My carrier is Viaero. I live in the middle of nowhere in Colorado so its basically the only option. AT&T doesn't cover our area. And now this isn't an urgent issue, just something that kind of annoying. All I was looking for were some ideas on how to remedy the situation, so I thought general would be more appropriate.
Post both apns please
I've verified these with Viaero and with another SII running stock. also had an unlocked iPhone before which these worked with. Another side note, on custom roms if I put in the "APN TYPE" I get neither internet nor MMS. So I have to leave those blank to get it to work at all.
NAME
Viaero Connect
APN
internet.vedge.com
APN TYPE
internet
NAME
Viaero MMS
APN
mms
MMSC
http://mms.viaero.com
MMS PROXY

MMS PORT

APN TYPE

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue.
For MMS Part .... change port number "9401" to just blank
I recently Tried to use my ATT SIM with my Dinc4G, I had to add an APN but it worked 100%, Voice and Data.
When I went back to my Verizon SIM, I found I had no data...
It hasn't come back at all for a couple days now, when I reset t o defualt APN I see the Verizon APN and even got screenshots of the settings
Problem is it changes back to some APN with wrong settings almost immediately, and I cannot change that APN.
Adding New a New APN causes that APN to disappear, and the name of the locked one to change. The information is still wrong, can't be changed and I have no data...
At a loss here, can't figure out whats happening. I even put my SIM in my Galaxy Nexus... and THAT didn't have a data connection either....
Are you rooted?
I've had the same problem after testing out an AT&T SIM, and there seems to be something wrong with the way Dinc4 tries to reset APN data to defaults.
There might be a better/easier/more proper way to fix it, but the only one I found was to edit APN database directly using a SQLite editor. Obviously, needs root access for that.
If you are, in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases check telephony.db and cdmaapn.db files.

I seem to be getting absolutely no help on the original moar rom thread and ive been without a data connection for 2 weeks now with no hope or luck of fixing it. i flashed MOAR rom and now my data connection doesnt function whatsoever, i can make calls and texts but cant use mt 4g lte service or even 3g. when i go to the APN settings it shows "LTE - verizon Internet" but its greyed out and i cant click on it. when trying to set an APN manually i click save after i have entered th correct APN info but it doesnt save there is no selection for the APN i just created, how can i hack or force my phone to use an APN that i set?? flashing another rom is not an option because ive tried every rom in existence for my model and this is the only one i can get working that doesnt give me the "no sim card" message. theres gotta be a tweak or something i can do to force an APN right??

Yea, i posted about 9 pages back, all i had to do was call straight talk and the lady reset my data and it was working great. in the meantime, you can still use data if you put your phone in CDMA only mode, but just call straight talk and they will fix it for you.
Im still using MOAR ROM with no issues at all, its really great.
