[Q] No Mobile Data / Blank Apn List - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I installed CM 10.2 yesterday via the Google Play installer after the terrible 4.3 update from Samsung. Everything went fine until I realized the mobile data wasn't working. I checked the APN settings and there was no entry on the list. I called my carrier support and they guided me through the APN manual config, however, when I hit on save and the menu took me back to the APNs screen, the list was blank again. I cannot save the APN configuration. I tried a factory wipe/data reset from the recovery boot, but it did not work. The version I am using is 10.2-2013114-SNAPSHOT-InstallerWWPQ46R-i9300.
This ROM is amazingly fast but this issue is driving me nuts. Please help
Thanks in advance!

Could be several things, do a full wipe and flash using odin instead -check the md5 of the download rom first.

Hi, I had the same issue with my N7100. I tried to set the APN in the phone but is was not being saved. Then I realized that one of the settings was not being accepted (The MNC). I was setting it with a 02 as my carrier support told me to, but then a friend told me to used 01 and it suddenly worked!
Then I tried to updated it to 02 and it was removed from the APN list :S. So I created it back and set it on 01 and is working fine.

[Q] 2.3.3 Stock Wont download apps over 3G

im on the stock 2.3.3 and i am unable to download apps over 3G
However it works over wifi
I have rebooted many times, cleared market data and catch. I have also reinstalled the rom but no changes.
anyone know what to do?
also my apn's are correct.
Please help
I had the same problem where it would hang on "starting download". I just waited and they eventually all came at once and the hanging stopped.
No that is not the problem.
I get an error message when I try to download an app over 3g . With no error code.
I even updated the market and nothing changed
I had the same problem in 2.1, i solved it by modifying the apn settings: in the apn settings create a new apn and only introduce the name and the apn, no proxy no port, no nothing. It should work let me know if it does
Sent from my x10a (still running 2.1 sadly) using XDA App
Thanks so much. It worked.

Same problem.
Can you illustrate the detail what to do?
Thanks.
I removed the port and proxy from the data apn. But now I went to TW Rom and no problems.

Hello
This happened to me, if you go into xrecovery and factory reset your problem will go but before you do this sync your contacts so you don't lose them and back up your data with titanium backup
already did factory reset and almost all wipes but no data still.. someone?
I made a post about this a few weeks ago and got no replies either.
I am using the latest EWJET ROM from Eric, with an unlocked bootloader and i have two questions,
1) Is it possible i have physically damaged the phone to cause this problem? (I'm guessing it cant be the rom's fault if others have same problem with standard Gingerbread OS?)
2) If i do a factory reset, will i have to go back through the process of re-installing the custom rom and unlocking the bootloader?
Here's hoping i get some reply this time...
Scotspaul674, installing custom ROM via xRecovery or CWM, and flashing via FlashTool does not influence the status of the bootloader.
After full wipe you mast reinstall custom ROM. Do not reboot, or you will lose access to xRecovery.
i solved the problem like this, i went to the data settings and i put wcdma(prefered)/gsm as my default setting, then chose the correct acces point and chose the right network operator, try doing that maybe this will solve it
Ok, so I managed to get mine working today, I really didnt fancy doing a factory reset so I tried downloading settings via settings/Sony Ericsson, and it worked
Can't believe I didn't try this before.....
Good luck to the rest of you..

It's not from the SE site, just press menu on your phone and select settings, this will bring a menu up and at the top of the next page is a Sony Ericsson option. Click this then the only option shown (I think) will be download settings, select this and hopefully you'll be sorted.
Good luck
had the same problem after updating my xperia x10 to 2.3, so what I did was go to settings, wireless & network, mobile network and click data enabled. not sure what I did but where the incoming and outgoing arrows are there is a H above them now instead of 3G. but it seams to work ok.

[Q] Galaxy S2 won't send text messages

Hi Guys,
My Galaxy S2 simply will not send any text messages.
It's a UK phone running on Orange network.
It was fine until last night, when I decided to root my phone.
Used ODIN and flashed with the insecure kernel, then rooted using the S2 Root app, and reflashed with 'I9100XWKE2_Kernel'
Now, whatever I do, text messages simply will not send. I've been in to Wireless and Network settings and enabled packet data etc, but nothing works,
Have I installed the wrong kernel, firmware etc?
Have you checked if your Message Centre Number is right?
SMS Screen -> Menu Soft Button -> Settings

Love you!
Never seen this number disappear before! Rooted my previous phone {Desire} and installed 100s of clean install ROMs over and over, odd!
where did it go?...
Have also developed this problem recently (possibly as a consquence of migrating from Litening Rom to Criskelo Rom), but I see people with new phones also have it so that may be unrelated.
I've checked the Settings both in Stock SMS and GO SMS Pro, but don't see an option for Message Centre number anywhere ... am I going blind, looking in the wrong place, or has the setting been moved elsewhere?
As on Criskelo Rom, Android is at 2.3.4.
Any ideas gratefully received ... really do not want to do a factory reset in the hope that it will get fixed ...
thanks.

SMS problems
For those who experience problems with the SMS, probably the message center number has disappeared and displays as Not Set.
Open the SMS app and then press the left soft key Menu> select Settings>select Message Centre and type any of the numbers below in the Message Centre input box (depending on your network provider):
O2 - +447802000332
Vodafone - +447785016005
Orange - +447973100973 or +447973100974
It will sort you out

Just a heads up that this doesn't work on quite a few custom ROMs since they don't have an SMSC setting in the SMS app.
I ran in to this problem when I messed with the "preferred network type" setting in the *#*#4636#*#* menu. The only reason I did that is because my phone was stuck on 2G after upgrading my version of Resurrection Remix and I thought this would help. It didn't, and to be honest none of that menu seems to work properly on this phone. Settings don't stick and messing with them seems to screw stuff up in general, though perhaps I'm just stupid (likely).
My SMSC was then set to 00 and I kept getting an "update error" message when I tried to change it back to the right number. I flashed working backups of previous versions of Resurrection, only to have the problem persist (is this setting held on the SIM, rather than on the phone?) and even tried flashing to an old GB version of Lite'ning, still the problem persisted.
In the end I flashed back to stock Samsung ICS, and the SMS app in that ROM has a setting for SMSC when you press menu key -> settings. It was really annoying having to flash back to stock just to fix it, but I assume any ROM based on the stock Samsung version of ICS (rather than AOKP or CM9 based ROMs) will have this setting in the SMS app.
Just a tip for those not on stock Samsung based ROMs, I was tearing my hair out trying to fix the SMSC setting and thought this tip might be helpful.

I have the same problem, but nothing seems to work. After I flashed Resurrection 2.6 sms just stopped working. I flashed stock ICS. Same. I wiped everything I could wipe. I flashed other 3 ICS stock roms. Same problem. Flashed Paranoid Android ROM, now I'm back for the stock. The message Centre nr is correct, I tried *#*#4636#*#* and the SMSC code is correct there as well, but it is still not sending SMS. I am reaching my limit... I don't know what to do! I feel like I have tried everything...

Try flashing a complete older official firmware package then flash back to the latest using Kies?

Tried it. Flashed official carrier branded GB. Kies upgraded to ICS official soft. Upgrade worked, but it's still failing every sent text message. Again, checked and the message center number is correct, everything else works perfect, it's like a new phone, but with no possibility to send text messages. I have rooted and installed custom ROMS for years now on so many android phones with no problem, this is just ridiculous...
same problem.....
with go sms i can send messages, with stock message application doesn't work.
And i have succesfully configured the SMSC value
Check your carrier, I've had same exact problem and even went back to Gingerbread and upgraded to ICS officially. My carrier did something, elevate it past the customer service reps.

SOLVED!!!
I solved it! I walked into an Orange Shop and the girl checked their servers and there was a problem from the network. She reset something and then it worked with no problem. It took 2 minutes to solve! I flashed so many roms for nothing. Well, back to AOKP now... I'm happy!

[Q] APN Settings wont save on CM9 ROM

Hi All,
I've just installed my first custom ROM on my S2. Chose CM9 with latest Nightly build. Everything seems to be working great so far except that I can't get my APN Settings to save. Every time I add a new APN and click the save button it reverts to the APN selection screen which is always blank. Is anyone else haveing this problem and is there a work around / was it working in previous builds>
Cheers
Never mind, rebooted the phone and it seems to have fixed the problem. Strange though because i have done a few reboots since the initial install?

[Q] Having some really aggravating APN issues with Roms. Galaxy S3 Cricket Wireless.

I installed Cyanogenmod 11 on my phone and I've been having nothing but problems with APn settings and not being able to send MMS.
I keep getting No APN specified on device and I can't send MMS messages.
I've reinstalled the rom many times reseting factory settings and wiping dalvik cache.
I've tried using APN backup and restore app to backup from stock rom and restore the apn settings to CM 11..
Nothing is working
I'm about to give up and find another rom..
And now for some reason I cant even access the APn settings in CM11.. The menu option isnt there..
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Its a CDMA phone and my carrier is Cricket Wireless its the 3g CDMA plan Galaxy S3 before they merged with aio and now use GSM phones and new plans..
CM 11 - 11-2014078-SNAPSHOT-M8-d2lte
If no one has any suggestions can anyone recommend a good bug free fast and clean rom?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
I've since tried installing Carbon Rom and same issue there.. I can't send MMS messages. Keeps saying no APN specified on device..
I tried looking up Crickets apn settings and entering them manually but every time I change the MNC? setting the APN just vanishes.
I tried just leaving that field alone and just setting the rest but I still couldnt send MMS messages..
I'm going crazy here..
I rooted my phone and now Im stuck on 4.1.2 unless I use a custom rom as rooted my phone wont let me update the stock rom..
I really liked both Cyanogen and Carbon my phone ran AMAZING compared to stock but without MMS messages and constant APN error popups I can't take it...
Any ideas?
