I recently got myself a galaxy note from bell and it has not been what I expected. The phone works great for other non-aws providers but a nightmare with wind.
I installed several different modems, not knowing what works the best. Also forced it with *#2263#. However the result are ultimately the same. I'm constantly getting signal drops even though I have 4/5 bars. I'm unable to send texts or make calls even when the bars are near full. The data is essentially unusable at all times.
I have tired the phone with different sims which seemed to be working perfectly fine. Is there anyone having this issue as well or have a solution for it?
If I'm not mistaken, Wind uses the same frequencies as T-Mobile. Perhaps you could read the threads relating to their modems, settings, for some advice.

Yes, I have tried several different models for 1700MHz , all of which have the same problem. I'm able to connect to the network and says I have good reception but I get cut off A LOT!

I select default wind. Not sure what more I have to do.
Are you on Gingerbread or ICS?
I had huge problems at first with Wind Mobile as well until I switched to the TELUS modified modem. People recommend Blaze but in my experience, it was just as bad as yours was.

I'm currently on ICS using icsblaze, I have also tried using gb but I didn't see a difference. Is it possible to link me to the modem that you are using?
I finally figured it out! I had to setup the APN manually, now it works as expected.

Take a minute and post your APN settings, then edit your thread title to say "solved".

Hello,
My GS2 suddenly stopped being able to receive sms. It can send sms and mms and receive mms. I can receive a plain text converted to mms by simply adding a subject. It's happened once before but I'm not sure what fixed it.
I'm running the latest SHOstock2 now. Though I had a previous version of it when this issue first occurred. Using the stock message app. Previously when it happened I did a backup of the rom, flashed a different rom and all my unreceived texts came pouring in. I restored the backup and sms was working again. I thought if it was an error with the software that a restore would cause the problem to remain but it didn't, until now.
None of the apn settings have been touched after flashing. Called ATT and they were useless. Can't even receive system sms.
I'm going to flash a different rom but I want to figure out what may have caused this issue so it doesn't repeat.

I heard people take their sim out and put it in another phone then place it back in their phone. It was going around the shostock2 thread
I just installed Mystic Glories rom and the issue persists. I'll flash a different kernel since they both use the same. If that doesn't work I'll try the Nexus rom that I used last time. If that fails then I'll get a different sim card. Bleh.

This seems to be similar to the issue people have been having with the latest AOKP.
That makes me thinks it's possibly something to do with the AT&T network. If they don't have to tell you, they won't.
Oh, and please tell me your posting from your S3 for giggles...

I installed the latest Siyah and still no dice. I installed the latest SuperNexus and just like before, when I installed SuperNexus, the SMSes all came in. Still don't know exactly what caused it or if this is just another coincidence but I'm going to stick with SuperNexus and cross my fingers. I don't have another phone which this sim card fits.
Thank you for your time gents. If anyone else has more information on this issue it would still be appreciated. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was a network issue as well.

While you are on super nexus go into your APN settings and see Which APN is being used, then also write down all the fields that are filled in. Then the next time when you try another ROM make sure either the SAME APN setting is being used or that all the settings inside match what you had working. I have seen different ROMs have some different variations of apns. For instance I believe the old WAP.Cingular APN is default on CM10 but I usually change it for the a different APN setting. Basically what I am saying is even though you haven't touched it ever it COULD BE defaulting to a different APN. Hope you figure it out.

Apn it's for data only. It has nothing to do with sending and receiving text messages which uses the voice side of our service.
I personally think it is either at&t or something with Samsung's latest releases but searching online it has happened to other people in different forums so I'm leaning towards the network side.

I thought and I guess I am wrong here that for MMS to send/receive it has to do it over the data connection? If you have the data connection off and only on WiFi it won't send/receive? I know I have had to add a MMS APN for it to work for me in the past. I have 1 APN set just for ATT data, and one for MMS. This is usually how I set IP my apns over the past year or so:
My APN Test Settings
APN #1
NAME: ATT HSPA+
APN: phone
MMS port: 80
APN TYPE: default,internet,broadband
APN#2
ATT MMS
APN: wap.cingular
USERNAME: [email protected]
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS PROXY: wireless.cingular.com
MMS PORT: 80
MNC: 410
MCC: 310
APN TYPE: default,mms,supl
I could be wrong here but now I am intrigued. If I don't have the MMS APN I listed above and ONLY have one for data I will not receive MMS (cannot remember if I could receive regular text though). Correct me if I am wrong here but it is how I have always done it.

That is my understanding as well. Sms is sent over the voice cell network, mms over data. I've never been able to send mms over Wi-Fi.

Thanks for the clarification. I also just reread the op and see he can send/receive MMS okay but not SMS. So ya it shouldn't be an APN issue.
Sent from My SGH-I777 Running Spiderman Themed AOKP or Spiderman Themed CM10
What happened is most likely your SMS number got messed up. This happened to me a while ago. Not sure how you get into the hidden settings in your rom. to check it but it should be
+1 312-314-9810. If this gets messed up the issue can fix it self after a few wipes and formats of the system partition. I would search on how to get into the service menu and make sure it is correct.

Yes that could also be the issue but recently that has not been the case. Putting the SIM in another phone them send and receive a message from that phone will trigger all the messages missed. Put the SIM back in the sgs2 after sms it should work fine again.

I got struck by this problem a week and a half ago. Then all of a sudden, all of my missing texts came through about 3 days later. Now, the problem has struck again. I haven't been able to receive a text since Saturday morning. As of Monday midday, I still am in a text blackout.
I went to the wiki posted in this thread and checked my service number. Everything looks AOK. I've been running ShoStock2 v5.4. On Sunday afternoon, I did a full wipe and installed ShoStock2 v6.0. I was hoping that a full wipe would fix this issue; but no luck.
I *think* that I might have an old AT&T phone somewhere that I can try and toss the SIM in to. Very frustrated.

Pour you SIM in another phone and send a text and receive one. Should see all your old ones come in after. After I did that then went to 6.0 and haven't had the issue yet again.

Hopefully the issue won't happen again. I put the phone on basic CM10 and no issues so far. It seemed to only affect ShoStock2 or the issue still exists but just hasn't recurred.The phone is what my girlfriend uses and she's not savvy enough to even know what any of the options do so she doesn't mess or change with most settings that could result in this. I'll check the other resources if it crops up again. And her SIM doesn't fit my GS3 to switch out. Thanks for posting the links and details gents.
Tonight at 7, with no changes, my phone received all of my messages from the last 3 days. We'll see if the issue is done.

Hey guys, I'm running Aokp and randomly lost data connection today. Everything has been working great and I love the ROM. Cell connection is fine but my data connection just stopped working. I'm coming off of a clean wipe and rom installation. I've checked my data settings and don't see anything wrong. Any idea what could be the problem. Thanks!

How are your speeds? Mine are extremely slooooowwwww
I also having trouble with data connections. Tried the fix above and have only edge network. Has anyone been able to get 3g? I am running Task's AOKP and everything was fine until this morning sometime.
Worked like a charm. Thanks guys.
I had the same issues starting today (dallas/fort worth area) and the above apn setting changes got my data back. Speeds are lower than before but not by a whole lot, getting 3.2Mbps down instead of hovering around 4 or so before. Upload is horrid though, 228kbps now...but hey it works again
On AOKP, the APN is already setup that will work. Instead of the first one, choose ATT LTE and change the apn to "Phone" Should work just fine.

I started having problems Friday and into Saturday in places I always have good service. Seems to have cleared up today, though.
I'm now having an issue sending pictures through the stock jellybean SMS app 'messaging'. I hit the attachment icon, navigate to the picture I'd like to text and it sends, and shows 'sending' forever. Eventually it will notify me that the picture failed to deliver. Then it will continue to try to send to no avail. Never had this problem until the other day when all of this happened. Any corrrelation/thoughts?

Hello. Sorry for bumping an old thread but I have this problem on my Galaxy Nexus AOKP milestone 6 maguro. I'm with Wind Mobile in Canada so how would I get that info or where did you get that info so I can find it for Wind. I drop my 3g connection at LEAST 3 times a day and its driving me insane (turning on airplane mode to fix), probably going back to stock if I can't get help.
Anyone care to help? Thanks!

Go to your device forum where you can get more help because we can't help you. We don't have your device or carrier. What works on one phone with AOKP may be broken on another.

Ever since flashing aokp months ago, my data has been intermittent. During peak times like rush hour, phone will have full signal, but just won't connect. Icon stays on 3g. Tried different roms, full wipes etc, same problem. It's maddening. Just tried changing apn, hopefully that will fix it. Will report back Monday rush hour.

I've done some searching and didn't happen to run across anyone that was having a similar problem. Originally, I thought this might be a StraightTalk/Verizon issue, but I've confirmed that one of my family members with ST T-Mobile can text with Verizon folks just fine. So let me dive into the details...
I've had my StraightTalk T-Mobile sim card for about a week now. I activated it without any problems, set up the APN and everything seemed to be working just fine. I've been texting with a few family members and some co-workers without issues. My data and voice calls are all working fine as well.
I went to text a friend that has Verizon post paid service and he never got my text. So I sent a few more without success, then tried to text my own Verizon number (since my account is still active for the moment) and I never received my own text either. He sent me a text message that I received just fine though, but again he didn't get my response. Just to further test, I send an MMS message to myself and my friend on Verizon and that came through just fine, so it appears that all texting capabilities work with the following carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, ST T-Mobile) with the exception of regular SMS to Verizon.
Here are my APN settings:
Name: StraightTalk T-Mobile
APN: wap.tracfone
Proxy: Not set
Port: 8080
Username: Not set
Password: Not set

MMSC: http:**mms.tracfone.com (replace ** with //, since I can't post links)
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: Not set
MCC: 310

Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
About the phone... I purchased an AT&T Note (sgh-i717) and unlocked it myself. The unlock was successful but I was only getting edge data since T-Mobile has re-farmed the towers in my area yet. So, I installed CWM and flashed the Blaze4G radios. I'm now getting consistent signal and H+ speed (4-8 mbps avg, 14 mbps peak). The only other thing I had to change was that my phone number wasn't showing up in the About Phone -> Status section, so I went into the dialer -> Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number and set it there in the format of xxx-xxx-xxxx. I also just flashed the T-Mobile VKL1 radio as well but no change in my sms issue.
I'm a bit lost at this point on why everything else would work except for sending sms to Verizon but yet I can receive them from Verizon just fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Texts aren't immediate when the network is busy. Sometimes the delay can be several hours.
None of my Verizon messages are ever delivered, some from 3-4 days ago. I called Straight Talk tech support and they are tracing some of my messages. One of the things they thing might be wrong is the message center number that is configured in my phone but they didn't want to change it until after they could do further research.
Update: Confirmed the smsc is correct, so that doesn't appear to be the issue.
Just a follow up in case anyone else ever had an issue similar... a T-Mobile technician called me today, they found out Verizon had blocked my cell phone number from their network. After the tech got the ban lifted, texting is working just fine.

About the phone... I purchased an AT&T Note (sgh-i717) and unlocked it myself. The unlock was successful but I was only getting edge data since T-Mobile has re-farmed the towers in my area yet. So, I installed CWM and flashed the Blaze4G radios. I'm now getting consistent signal and H+ speed (4-8 mbps avg, 14 mbps peak). The only other thing I had to change was that my phone number wasn't showing up in the About Phone -> Status section, so I went into the dialer -> Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number and set it there in the format of xxx-xxx-xxxx. I also just flashed the T-Mobile VKL1 radio as well but no change in my sms issue.
I'm a bit lost at this point on why everything else would work except for sending sms to Verizon but yet I can receive them from Verizon just fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just a follow up in case anyone else ever had an issue similar... a T-Mobile technician called me today, they found out Verizon had blocked my cell phone number from their network. After the tech got the ban lifted, texting is working just fine.

That's interesting. And it sucks. You could have spent hours\days working on something you could never fix. Did they give any reason for your block? Glad you got it worked out.
Those apn dont look right to me....im on st with my.note and.no problems.

You'll want to flash the T-Mobile ROM in the development section. Follow the instructions carefully.

Update: Straight Talk's website now tells you the apn setting you should be using, to do this visit the link at the bottom of this post and follow the directions. The apn settings in this post should be the settings all new users are assigned, checking the link would tell you for sure though.
Just a heads up, if you're using Straight Talk's BYOP sim card and your data quit working, you may have been transitioned to new apn settings. I read about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2310215 in the Nexus 4 forums.
It seems users there lost all mobile data connectivity after their service renewed. The new apn settings seemed to have restored their data connectivity. I suggest making a second apn setting on your phone with the new settings I've posted below. The reason why I suggest a second apn is so you can easily switch between apns if you lose data connectivity on the new apn, I see it as an easy troubleshooting step down the road.
Here is the new apn
Name: Straight Talk
APN: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80
Straight Talk now let's you type in your phone number on their website to look up which apn settings you should be using, it can be found here

I hope somebody finds this useful and hopefully doesn't cause confusion.
Hmm, this could be very useful. Thank you. :thumbup:

I tried this too on my Google Nexus 4 because the results from my speedtests have been very poor [pic attached].
Unfortunately for me, the new APN settings are not working. In the mean time, I have placed a support ticket with Straight Talk to fix this issue.

The Above Settings are for CDMA I suspect.
The OLD Settings BELOW work on my GSM SGH2 I777.
This APN works for GSM,

Is that why it's listed under the ATT section of StraightTalk's www.straighttalksim.com website?
Do you all get LTE or 4G on straight talk network>>>??

You can not get LTE without the hardware. The SGH-I777 and the SGH-S959G are not LTE capable.

I currently have I747 from att, and I'm unable to get LTE on straight talk network.
On stock rom I get 4g & customer rom HSPA+

Probably because you need the new LTE sim card from ST, which only recently came out; that is if your hardware supports it, as creepy stated.
And please be aware that this is the i777 forum.

I've had some issues with mms but nothing serious. Nothing a quick airplane mode toggle can't fix for me.

From what I've gathered, there are two different At&t apn settings for straight talk's byop sim card, either att.mvno or tfdata. I use to be on att.mvno for my apn, but when I changed to their lte sim card, my apn settings became tfdata.
I'm not sure cdma phones have programmable apn settings.

I have had problems sending mms on the i777 on non-stock based roms such as cm. I had better luck getting mms to go if I disconnected from wifi and waiting for the phone to establish a data connection before sending the mms. I never had much luck with toggling airplane mode on and off to get an mms to go. If it didn't go the first time, I'd just forward the mms I was trying to send to the same person that I was trying to originally send it to, normally the forwarded one went. I decided to forward it to them because it took less time than making a new mms message all over again. hope that helps.
In the mms proxy field put
66.209.11.33 Instead or try 66.209.11.34

That is not true, On New LTE card. I have a older SIm card I purchased 6 months ago. I get LTE with that card and never had to buy the new "LTE" Sim.

You may get faster speeds, but you're not getting true LTE, because our device simply doesn't have the necessary hardware.
But I'm glad you're getting better speed, I agree with trevor, please share your setup!

I am activating Straight Talk bringing my i777 S2 from ATT. They told me to use the same settings as you've listed above. How long did your activation take? I got them on the phone at 11am and it is now 8pm. I'm still waiting - Is that normal?
Thanks

Well it depends, are you porting your number or are you getting a new number from them? When I activated my straight talk sim card, I got a new number and was up in running in minutes, if not instantly.
