[Q] No Internet on Carbon - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I downloaded Carbon-JB-NIGHTLY- 20131114-1003-i777 and flashed to my phone yesterday. Now I have no internet, when I check the mobile network type in setting it says that I am using UMTS. I tried flashing another modem but it doesn't change. I have since restored back to ShoStock3 and my Internet is working fine. Is there a way that i can get it to work. I really like the way Carbon looks and operates but can't do without Internet. Any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW I'm located in Panama but that should make a difference being that all works fine when running ShoStock3. Thanks

Nightlies often have things broken one day, then corrected the next. That's just their nature. You could try and flash the 11/13 file and see if you have working internet.
Another thing to check would be your APN settings; make sure they are correct for whatever network you're on. Wrong APN's can also cause this problem.

Thanks for the nightly tip. The APN settings are the same as I use with ShoStock3. I truly believe its the mobile network type that is causing the issue. I guess I'll have to just try another date like you said

@SteveMurphy you were right it was the APN settings....I had to add the APN type (default,supl) and that did the trick. Thanks again

Glad you got it working, my friend.

I'm on Lycamobile US, and I've had the same issue on different roms. Sometimes the settings come up with the MCC and the MNC, but this last time when i wiped and redid my phone, I had to put it all in manually. Glad u got it figured out.

[q][FIXED] P7500 Overcome 2.0 ROM - With No Internet Connection on 3g

I really like the overcome ROM for my P7500.
My only problem is that I have signal but still no Internet connection. Tried sending a SMS from my tablet, and it worked. But no Internet connection.
Had the same problem on Overcome v. 1.2.3. (Upgraded to Overcome 2.0.0 P7500JJKJ6 with full wipe... 2 times now)
Data is enabled, and made sure the APN was correctly setup...
Could it be the baseband that is wrong: XXKI1?
And Im quite sure I flashed the right ROM...
Please help me out... can't find any solutions to this one..
Thanks in advance
Attached photo..
-------------Update -------------
Tried restocking my device to Stock XXKL1 ............ Still no 3g :S
So maybe its not related to the overcome rom...
Going to call my telco tomorrow...
still open to suggestions..
------------update--------------
Fixed!
APN Settings was wrong.
I thin the overcome ROM it's not for 3g only for WI-fi, but you can check the site or ask in the forum in the Android development forum.
Thanks for your comment
Overcome is for both Wifi as well as 3g.
I've heard of some people having issues with their APN settings. You should check them, if you haven't yet. I use Overcome 2 as well and have no problems. Baseband is OK, I have the same on my tab.
EDIT: I've just seen that you have already checked that. Try to wipe everything again and start from scratch. Did you check file hash before flashing? Could also be a bad flash or download.
Now I'm at the end with my suggestions, sorry.

[Q] Absolutely stumped - 3G/Image Caching

Hey all,
I am a previous Galaxy S user and now have the S III. I know my way around Android OS but am STUMPED here!
When wi-fi is OFF (mobile network), Google Play store wont render any images whatsoever. I can still get to apps, read description and buy them, but no images. Every now and then I get a "Error: no connection" error when previewing an app but when I retry it works (still no images though) - "Couldn't load Screenshots - retry"
The same is true for Foursquare and one or two other apps. I am not in a bad area - perfect reception and HSDPA.
Twitter and others do not have this problem, but the apps that do experience it are doing so continuously and without fail. I can not stop it happening, unless using Wi-Fi, which is not so often as I am moving around a lot.
I have cleared cache/data from several applications in the list, restarted phone etc etc.. I am avoiding having to do a hard reset here as much as possible as I have to travel this week and do not have time to re-do my all my apps etc etc..
Is there a way to clear DNS cache or something on these phones? It seems as though when using regular mobile network, certain apps get stuck and can't receive certain data while others have no issues whatsoever.
Please help guys - any suggestions are much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Wit
Same problem man tried everthing I've managed to find. Not much on the issue the issue though.

Change the dns settings. For wifi it's in wifi in settings then press the bottom left capacitive button on the phone and edit it. I'm guessing mobile network is also more or less the same.
Use 8.8.8.8 . Always works

Typical. I work at one of the SA networks. Lol let's not get into which, but this isn't the first time they missed something like this when approving firmware, and you think call centre support would know about it. Half of them run a blank when you say "Ice Cream Sandwich ". Thanks to both of you though.

I had this problem. Try this
Settings - More settings - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names
Then make sure you are set to Internet and not WAP
eg Mine is Orange UK Internet and I was set Orange UK WAP and it was causing images errors and all sorts
I hope this solves it for you

Sent me mental when I 1st had my S3. It worked fine with my O2 SIM and on Orange it only loaded a few images on each page.
Finally found that setting as its been fine since.
It seems like the phone defaults to Orange WAP and not Internet. The O2 SIM caused a pop-up asking me which mode I wanted to use
Just told the mrs to do the same to her s3 lol and she sends a big thanks to you

Well we did clean the proxy and we did make the dns 8.8.8.8 nothing seems to be working...
I use galaxy note, with 4.0.4 ics.

Hey buddy.
Wish I could give you a finite solution but I never really came right with this until I installed a custom Rom on my phone. Running stock I always had issues with the images in the play sore. I'm with Vodacom down here so dunno if it's network related.
If you go with a custom Rom I highly recommend the final ICS FoxHound 1.4.4 release. Been through many roms and this is by far the best as a daily runner.
Hope you come right man!

Hi buddy,
If you haven't found any solution yet:
I too am using Vodafone Mumbai network and started facing this problem quite recently (could have been just after I flashed LI5 ROM).
Anyway I scoured the net for solutions and found nothing that helped. So through some trial and error I found this solution:
Go to APN screen where you should have two APNs: "www" and "portalnmms".
Hit menu button and click on "Reset to defaults".
Then select "portalnmms" as the default APN.
Solved all issues for me!
I am having this exact same issue. Using Vodafone 3G in Mumbai on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Tried to set "portalnmms" as default APN but can't. Tried changing the "www" proxy to 8.8.8.8 but that didn't work at all. Is there a solution here?
8.8.8.8 is a dns server (powered by Google) not http proxy. You must either use your carrier's proxy settings or leave it blank

Problem with 3G usage which leads to pin code requests

Hi,
before I start, I wanna say I have read many threads and used the search function but I still couldnt solve my problem.
I have the I9100G and I was testing different roms, like cm10, supernexus and jelly bam and always the latest versions.
My problem is, when I used mobile internet with my provider, my phone lost its APN settings from time to time. A reboot could bring up the APN settings back and I could use the internet again.
So I was installing APN backup and restore and I think it kinda helped me (also did the integration into the system with titanium backup). now the APN settings do not suddenly disappear but my phone goes into the pin code menu from time to time. from what I read I assume it is because of lost signals.
Then I tried with GetRil and I matched my basedband with RIL (XXLPV).
However, the problem is still there. Whenever I am not using 3G (e.g. internet via wi-fi), the phone is okay, but if i have 3G on for some time my phone asks for the pin code.
What I could do is of course to disable the pin code, but because of security issues i dont wanna do that and the problem wouldnt be really solved.
I would appreciate any help or idea what might cause my trouble.
Thanx
I had this all the time with JB roms, however when I changed the stock kernel to dorixmanx (currently using the 7.4 Mali version) they've stopped. Might wanna give it a try and see if it works for u?

[Q] Can't use anything but wifi, please help!

I was playing with the *#*#4636#*#* menu in CMX and changed my band to Australia. I then lost all connectivity but wifi. I figured I'd just nandroid back to my fully functioning CMX - I was wrong. After restoring the nandroid, the phone still won't connect to anything but wifi.
I then saw this post and flashed meanbean to use the Sense dialer.
None of the instructions worked! When I try to ##786# reset all my data, the phone will do its thing and then boot back up into meanbean and ask me sign in to my accounts.
The DEVICE_PROVISIONED=1 doesn't exist in my build.prop as seen in this post so I can't use the simple method. :crying:
Any help is greatly appreciated. I only have wifi while I'm at work, so in 5 hours I'll be screwed.
EDIT: Almost fixed it! I nandroided back to CMX and tinkered with some more advanced settings. I figured I can't hurt anything more than I have. It's now connecting to the network and 3G, but says it needs activated. Finally, progress!

Thanks guys, I did get it fixed. Once I got some sort of connection reestablished I needed to activate the phone. I called Sprint customer service from my work phone and they refreshed all my data/connections. That allowed me to connect to the network, but not use it (if that makes any sense). I then downloaded the deodexed stock rooted JB ROM from here. After flashing that and booting into it, it said "hands free activation" and then starting updating the PRL before asking me to set up my accounts.
Hopefully my story helps anyone who gets caught up in this issue.
One more thing, upon reinstalling my cmx nandroid, I checked the build.prop file and it had the DEVICE_PROVISIONED=1
I changed it and that's how I got the phone to reconnect to the network (still no use of the signal though at that moment). That's when I flashed to the stock rooted ROM and everything was fine from there.

Wi-Fi Problem Please help!

I've had the same problem with a different device, and never found an answer.
In fact, I trade that phone (Evo 3D) for this S2 (i777).
Heres the thing, for some reason my phone refuses to work on the school's wifi. Its annoying. On my last phone, I thought that it was just that phone, but apparently its not. Now I'm having the same problem on my S2. I can get notifications every now and then but cant use the wifi at all. Sometimes, randomly throughout the day, I can get about 1 - 5 minutes out of it, but then it just stops working again.
I kinda think it has something to do with my Gmail being synced or something, I really have no clue. It has the word "freaking" in it. I just dont think its a coincidence that BOTH phones in a row have the exact same problem. I didnt have the problem with any iPhone I've ever had.
I really need wifi, and I dont wanna get a new phone, so I would appreciate it a lot if some knew what this is about.
It connects and everything. Says it has great signal. Just doesnt work.
Im running the stable CM9.1, straight from the Cyanogenmod website. So its their kernel and all that good stuff. Android 4.0.4.
I know the ROM isnt the problem cause every ROM I flashed on my Evo didnt help at all.
Anyway, any help or tips anyone can give would be great. Thanks!
By the way, the wifi works perfectly fine every where else. Home, College, friend's house. etc.
You need to verify your school does not require special network settings or a proxy.
If you can see the network and connect then its just a settings issue. Have you tried reverting to stock?

I can connect just fine, as normal. It just doesn't allow me internet access.
By stock, do you mean the stock ICS Touchwiz? No. But I guess its worth a try. The only reason I didnt see that as a solution is because on my last phone, I had the same problem whether I was running stock or not.
It sounds like you need a proxy address to access the Internet at your school. Talk to the administrators of the network.

They have proxies restricted from what I know. I dont know too much about proxies, but I tried using a few different proxy apps and none of them worked.
And it doesnt do this to other peoples' phones. Why is it just mine? My other phone was an HTC on Sprint. It just seems like a weird coincidence that both phones have the same problem, and they're two completely different devices. That's why I thought it had to do with Gmail, I know that sounds stupid, but its the only thing the two phones have in common.

Two different phones and same issue. Friends phones work but yours doesn't. You have a PICNIC issue.
Problem in chair not in computer (phone). Talk to the network admin or help desk. You're probably using a wrong setting or password. The admin should be able to help you by looking at the logs.

I get what you're saying, believe me, but I just dont see how its a wrong setting. Its default settings ( until I tinkered around trying to fix it). I assume all of my less-knowledgeable friend's phones are default settings too. So it just doesn't seem to make sense that the default settings on two of my phones are the wrong settings, while every other phone seems to have it right to begin with.
I get what your saying, but I cant just talk to our Tech Guy at our school. It just doesnt work like that at my school. Lol. Thats why I'm asking for help on here.
And I dont think the multiple ROMs I've tried have the wrong defaults also.
Then sit down with a friend and make sure EVERY setting Is the same. Make sure you are both running android and using the same browser. If they are on CM too that would be best.
It sounds like something is blocking you from accessing the Internet while on the schools network. I don't think we will be of much help.

I can try the thing with my friend. Im just really the only one in my group of friends that's into, and actually knows a lot about Android devices. So they dont seem like much help. Haha.
And I was hoping people could tell me some ideas I havent tried yet. I know Android, but I dont know much about wireless networks and all that.
I'd love to help more, but since only one wifi network doesn't work for you it has to be something with that network.

Do you need to log in to your school's network? If so, when you enter your login id, if there's a line for anonymous id too, add your login id there as well. In other words, you have to enter your login id twice. Once where it says "login id" and again for "anonymous id."
If that doesn't work, what would help here is more info about how you connect (WPS, WPA, etc.).

It doesn't require me to log in at all. It worked perfectly fine on my old iPhone without having to log in. And it never redirected me in the browser. I've tried everything I can think of.
Proxies (Dont work)
I've tried static IP.
Factory resetting to stock Android (Every time I restart my phone it works for like a minute.)
BUT, I think I came across something. I compared my settings to a friend's, and his phone showed a different IP address. I'm still not sure if it was the IP to his phone, or to the school. How do I find out which IP is which?
Can anyone explain why it works for a minute or two and then stops?
Have you tried going to: Settings->wifi->advanced (you get to advanced by clicking the menu button) to make sure that:
Keep wifi on during sleep: ALWAYS
Avoid poor connections: UNCHECKED
Frequency band: AUTO
Wifi Region: United States
You may want to uncheck wifi optimization.
Oh, one other thing: you aren't using any battery optimization apps are you? JuiceDefender etc? If so, follow their instructions for uninstalling and uninstall!
Beyond that, I haven't got a clue. And no, your IP address has nothing to do with it. It should be different from your friend's.

I know for a fact that there is nothing making my Wifi turn off. I dont use any battery optimizer. And I dont have a clue either. I've never been so stumped. I've done research and found other people with a similar problem, but didnt see solutions on those threads either.
I cant connect using wifi.
Sorry guys, iam needidng your help.
My Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 suddenly the wifi stop working as well.
When i push button to put on. The Wifi show me this messege "Stating on..."
But never finish to starting.
and if I let a few minute alone, it put off automatically.
I had made a factory reset and nothing.
i changed the rom but nothing.
Now iam using Stockshock 3 with syha kernel.
is there any solution for this problem? or my wifi is already dead?
i'll appreciate your response.
