data connection wont work. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey on my galaxy s3 i9300 Australian version. im with optus and was wondering if any 1 new how to fix the no data connection issue. i looked it up and people say its to do with the apn. so i have reset apn to default and it helped but now its back to no data. i reinstalled the stock firmware for it and it went good again for a lil bit but now the data is back to not working. the problem seems to be appearing on a few forums but i havent found a fix. my wifi and calling and texting works fine.

Contact your network provider, if you have the latest stock rom and modem installed for your country then only the apn settings need to be checked. You might possibly need a new SIM, but it's more likely to be the apn settings are wrong.

.....Also note if you have been Rom swapping make sure you keep Australian modem version as they are optimized for your frequencies, you should find them in the modem thread

[Q] LG 500 no data connection

I have recently rooted my phone, and installed the devoid.franco v5 rom on my phone....I get no data connection. When I go into the about phone, status, and look under mobile network state, it says disconnected. I am with Koodoo and had data access before I started flashing roms on the phone. I have been through a couple of different ones, all with the same results. What am I missing? Did I do something wrong? Everything else looks ok. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Well the original rom must have been customized for your region and hence had all the APNs and you could access internet without problems.
Now devoid is based on some other region's rom and hence might not have the APN for your operator. You will need to setup your APN manually. Check with your operator for settings.
Another method is to flash back to the original rom. Note down the APN settings and use them on devoid.
Hope it helps.
Happened to me too, manually entering the APN settings did the trick!
Thanks....makes sense. Working on finding the right entries...being at work makes it difficult sometimes.
Edit: Of course finding the right values to put in is another story....geez!!!
Got it!!! Thanks for the direction.

[Q] lost my 3g and can no longer recieve calls

I just flashed simply honey 5.1 and now i cant recieve calls or even get a data signal. help? i seem to be having the same problem with anything simply honey 3.8+
Back to stock (Odin), and than try reflashing. Looks like bad flash. Unless you had bad luck like me and core files got messed up...
I have Odin'd back and reflashed twice now
My stock works fine, but whenever I flash I lose my data capabilities and I can't receive calls. Is that what it's like when your core files get messed up? If so, how to fix?
No, you have different problem than me than.... my does not connect at all in any rom.
sorry but your problem is beyond my knowledge, I would say that maybe bad download, but it seams you downloaded more that one rom so... sorry
Go to settings, network, mobile, check data, check roaming, then go to network operator, choose provider automatically.
After it finishes, go back and go to access point names and make sure you have the correct apn.
If not, please state the rom, kernel, and modem by going to settings, about.
After I checked Data and roaming and set it to choose automatically it said "registered on network" but when I went to APN it says no items.
I am using:
Firmware
2.3.4
Baseband
T959UVKB5
Kernel
2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVP-CL264642
Bullet-JVP-1.2Ghz-v5.4-voodoo#12
Build number
GINGERBREAD.XXJVR
Go to the Market, search for APN Global, install it and let it install your settings for your carrier. Let me know if you still need help.
Also, what is your carrier and which country? You have an I9000 kernel that's why I'm asking.
Hey, I noticed you folks were mentioning something like what I was having trouble with. My phone shows that I have a 3G or H connection; however, any app that uses data fails to connect. Any ideas on solving this? It seems as though Tomulek may have experience with my issue.

[Q] [Problem]GSM Internet data not working

Hello.
Here is my problem.
In fact, my gsm Internet connection used to work fine but recently, in the last updates, i have data situations. My Internet connection is blocked even whith the HSDPA icon.
I tried to fix this problem by:
-Doing wipes (factory, cache) reset
-Installing different recent roms
-Installing different kernel
My problem is not from my ICS upgrade. It came largely after.
Do you have any ideas how to fix this problem?
All of them are welcome.
My actual rom is Litening 2.7 rom under the 3.0.15-9100XXLPS-CL294511 CWM kernel.
My baseband is 9100XXLPS
I'm under android 4.0.3 ICS
I'm rooted.
Thanks for your help.
Edit:
I kept a backup of an older rom. When i restore it, the Internet GSM Works again. But the problem stay with the most recent roms. I want to keep beeing updated.
I'm in france under the operator Orange.
Correct IMEI ???
jje
Yes. I compared between the state in "About the phone" and under the battery. It's the same code.
No ideas at all??
Sounds like incorrect APN settings to me.
Maybe. Because sometimes when i try to search Network Operators, the phone keep searching until i use the touch "go back". But i have no idea how to fix.
Detail: My phone number is displayed as unknown. Everything works: Call, sms, i have the icon E,3G,H. But when i use the Internet navigator, i have the Orange(Operator) website which tell me that my phone is not compatible with the Internet connection. Sometimes, i have another website which suggest me to pay for an Internet connection. But i already pay an Internet connection. (Vultures)
Edit: Never Mind. Problem solved.

[Q] Help with Rogers Galaxy Note i717

I went through and read everything in the Super Thread - twice.
I went through and flashed the stock Rogers ICS 4.0.4 rom to the phone and then rooted it by flashing the cwm kernal in the instructions. My phone is successfully rooted and it is not reverting to the stock android recovery.
I went through and disabled all the Rogers bloatware and restarted the phone and now it isn't enabling itself automatically. Score one for patience and good advice.
I use Petro Canada Mobility pay as you go. They are a reseller of Rogers and the price is right until my ISP launches their wireless service.
I went through and set the phone so that is uses gsm/wcdma bands only - no LTE as it isn't available in my province as of yet. I set up Petro Canada's APN settings and save. I restart the phone and the phone automatically defaults back to Rogers APN settings. The APN that I created is gone - *poof* I can't count how many times in the last 24 hours I have reset this phone
What the heck am I missing here cause I can't figure it out. Why won't it save my APN settings? I got the rest of the kinks worked out and now this??
Do the Bell and Telus versions of this phone have the same quirks cause if they don't, I'll gladly flash their roms.
Help please!
I would leave the network to auto.
When you make an APN and save it, then select it, it disappears?
Can you edit the default Rogers APN?
Is your phone carrier unlocked?

When I make an APN and and save it, it is fine until I restart the phone. The minute I restart the APN disappears. I can edit the Rogers APN and save the changes. When I restart, it reverts to it's default settings. It is not carrier unlocked. Because my mobility carrier is a reseller of Rogers, my sim card works with it. There was no need to unlock it.
It seems like you need to unlock it, because you can't use any other carrier's APN, you're locked on Rogers.
Have you rooted it? Since that is the cheaper route, maybe being rooted will let you permanently create the correct APN.
Yes I have it rooted. Still the same issue.
Run a good nandroid backup ....
Then enter the new APN into the device ....
Then delete the old APN , then reboot ...
If the new APN sticks, then run a new backup and delete the old one ...
These devices can be temperamental on occasion ....g
Edit :
And yes ...you may be locked at this point, and stuck on Rogers ...g
I went through and unlocked the phone, stuck in a Bell Sim card and it recognized it right away. I went through completely reset the phone again, entered in my APN settings, and restarted. The settings disappeared. I am told that the Bell, Rogers, and Telus variants are all the same so I am going to flash one of their roms on the phone to see if I have better luck.
Well I flashed a different rom - Bell and that fixed the issue. It was the stock rogers rom that was causing me grief.
So my next question is this - anyone have any ideas on what Rom is better? The Telus or the Bell one?

EE network problem on rooted/unrooted S3

Hi,
I am on t-mobile network, my problem is that i don't seem to get EE network on my S3, it will change the between t-mobile n orange not ee. When I insert sim into iPhone then I will get EE network. I have tried unrooted n rooted but no EE.
Now when am on t-mobile network my Internet is really good but as soon it's moves to orange network then Internet is really really slow, I mean 34kbps.
I have contacted t-mobile n tried everything but no luck.
Is this something to do with S3?? Anything I can do? Any advice appreciated
ta
I'm on t mobile/Orange through t mobile, Orange signal is rubbish, never gets h or h+, but as I'm on t mob, it reverts to them by preference I think, only switching to Orange when it looses signal.
I used to be on Orange, and then I always had to go into settings and select network (choice of EE or EE!) So it's a bit hit and miss.
I also sometimes get it showing as t mob in notification draw, and sometimes EE, all very confusing.
EE sucks!!! Nothing wrong with your phone.... I've got Orange and 3UK. With the second one I'm more than happy. Download up to 26Mbps!
I never get EE on my S3....do you ever get EE?
Also is there an easier way to swap networks?

Are y you with orange or t mobile?
I'm with Orange and I've never had a problem in having H+ my carrier signal mostly shows EE.But isn't that all it is? a re branded carrier signal from orange and T-Mobile?
It's weird cos I get EE network when I put sim into iPhone
T mobile
Why is it that I don't get EE anywhere? Also I do get H+ but Internet is awful... Am thinking it's something to do with my S3 or firmware, radio etc

Are you on latest mb5? Are you locked and branded?
Also don't about it displaying ee or not, the other thing you could try is go to tmob website and get the apn settings sent to your phone, they may need updating
Sorry don't know about mb5? How do I find out? Plz
Unlocked n unbranded
I have done t-mobile website but apn setting does NOT come over to my phone for some strange reason... I have entered ee apn setting manually but still no EE network. I am not fussed what network it is on as long as I can get Internet!
Currently limited Internet on orange n full on t-mobile.
Download mb5 here. http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/7693/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/BTU/I9300XXEMB5.html
Flash with Odin, this is the latest UK unbranded
Once you've flashed the MB5 modem & matching RIL, go to settings, more settings, mobile networks, network operators and make sure 'select automatically' is chosen.
Then go back to mobile networks, access point names and delete all the APNs listed. Then create a new APN but only complete these fields; name: Everywhere APN: Everywhere
Reboot the phone and you should have a better experience.
You can also find a CWM flashable MB5 modem & RIL in kamalmawa's thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076857
I already have that installed..xx mb5
Am also rooted on vanilla rootbox... Is that a problem?

Have you contacted to your operator it could be helpfull also
Yes.... As far as they concerned everything is fine.
Also bear in mind that the network is undergoing a lot of engineering at the moment due to the marrying of the two networks and the LTE network introduction, but for me Orange has always been rubbish so I just select t mob and live with the pain of selecting the network occasionally if it gets hung on Orange

Just flash the zip in recovery, the RIL is included and it will even backup your existing modem. No need to play with root or the ROM, as long as your current ROM is rooted.
Thanks, will try
