I have a Samsung Galaxy S II (SCH-R760) with Ntelos and have a major problem. I can send/receive texts and calls but my mobile data network will not connect. I have checked all settings, troubleshooted with Samsung and Ntelos and nobody can help me. I don't care what ROM or Kernel there is out there but I will try anything if anyone can help. I rooted my phone once before but after reverting back to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 this problem has been occuring. I cant even modify the APN settings. I believe this is going to have to be one for the developers or anyone who knows what the answer is. If someone can provide a solution that works, a $50 money order may be a reward. Thats how desperate I am. You can contact me here or at [email protected]. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I used the Samsung Simple Upgrade Tool to revert back to original OS if that helps.

Hello All,
I have been looking around and seeing if anyone else is experiencing the same issue I have. But I have not had much luck. I have seen similar cases, but for whatever reason, some of the workarounds found that worked for others have not been successful for myself, or are temporary.
For the past three months, I have been experiencing an off and on issue where I am unable to receive texts, but I am able to send out text. And it is something that I would not realize until people actually notify me, or it is awkwardly silent on the "texting front", which makes me second guess myself. Almost every other week or two weeks this has occurred. At the time, I am running Darky's 8.8 [4.1.2] ROM for the i9300. I have tried rebooting, taking out the SIM, re-flashing Darky and re-flashing Stock (full wipe, etc), and replacing my old SIM with a new one. None have been successful thus far. The only success I have found is that inserting my SIM in a different phones allows the text to flow through almost immediately. I would then place the SIM back in the i9300 and any new texts sent I would receive immediately. After a week or two, it randomly just stops receiving text again, and the cycle continues.
I was wondering if whether this may be a bug with the Android OS itself? I have seen a few posts in regards to SMS being handled by Jelly Bean, but I am not 100% sure if my issue would fall in the same boat. Or if it is possibly faulty hardware? Or some kind of network issue. My network is AT&T, but I'm ruling out a network issue since I am able to receive text almost instantaneously on other phones.
Any information, advice, or help would be greatly appreciated.
Its not a bug .
Usual reason is wrong MMS message centre settings or network settings .

I've verified that the MMS APNs and SMS settings are correctly configured to AT&Ts network. If it were incorrect from the beginning, I would not get text messages (or MMS) at all. But in this case, it is intermittent and only resolved when I get to "unload" the text messages on to another device.
Same thing happens to me (why I had to use my upgrade to buy a phone from them -_-) I'm using a S2 for now... it sucks when you have been on the S3. Their excuse for not being able to help me was "Its an international phone, therefore may not work with our network." That's freaking BS. It worked for 6 months before this issue came up. New micro SIM card is the only temporary solution for now. When I have time. I'm going up there or calling help line. Gonna file a complaint and mention I might be leaving service with them or I can say legal action will be taken since they are denying me a service I'm paying for. They should start helping by them. I don't abuse their services. I don't tether. I don't cheat them in any way. Its retaarded.

Ahh! Thank you b-eock! I don't mean this in the wrong way, but I'm glad that I'm not the only who has experienced this. When this occurred to you, were you on some version of 4.1.2? From what I can remember, this issue never came up until I upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. Just trying to find some kind of trend here...
I have had to call up AT&T a number of times regarding this issue. And each time they were of no help. Although they were able to confirm that everything on their end of setup correctly, I got the same BS that you got. And they even gave me the whole baloney that I should upgrade so that they can help assist me better and that since it is not their branded phone, it may not be fully compatible.
I really do not want to give up on this. And I definitely want to find a solution. So I am hoping there is a lucky one out there that has tried different ways of getting fixed. Whether that be trying a new ROM, or downgrading from Jelly Bean to ICS, etc.
Came up a few weeks after I upgraded to 4.1.2 but there isn't really a connection between that. It worked before. Its just random crap. And them telling us everything is good on their end, that's complete BS. They don't know what's going on behind their computer screen.
Same exact thing happens to me. It's ROM dependent i'm thinking. Samsung roms from other countries do it the most for me. Has done it on AT&T and AT&T with StraightTalk. Experiencing it on Purelok HD v3.1 right now. I love this rom but im probably going to go AOSP/AOKP as I don't experience it on those kind of roms.
Camera just isn't the same without the Samsung software to me.
I recently acquired a refurbished galaxy nexus, which I am attempting to flash from sprint service to ntelos. I have been able to find several guides explains the basics of what needs to be done, and I have gotten voice and text working, but I can't find anything about the details of what the network settings need to be to get data working.
So, if someone could point me in the direction of ntelos data settings, I would be greatly appreciative.

Hey guys,
I'm from India and I bought the I9300 International version, although the Download mode shows SGH-I747 and unlocked I think. The build number on the device is JSS15J.I9300ZSENA1. It runs on Android 4.3 Jellybean and is the Pebble Blue version.
I'm using Reliance carrier on it and having frequent call drops, connectivity issues and texting problems as well. Then I get this security notice which asks me to boot the device repeatedly and I don't have any clue why that happens.
Now, my main problem is that I can't use the device for calling purposes as well texting.
So, how can I fix this? When I tried to update the firmware, I found the At&t text on it. That made me think that this might be the right place to post. Anyway, will changing the ROM to a Custom one like Cyanogen help to fix this issue? I need some help with this as I spent some decent bucks on it.
Some screenshots that might help.

Disable svoice. Its rubbish anyway.
The call drops could be network signal swapping bands or an issue with the carrier.
If you are sure it's the phone acting up the only real fix is to reflash the stock rom.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
The strange thing is, I9300 is a AT&T version. i always thought I747 was the AT&T version. But anyway, will reflashing the stock ROM work somewhat with call issues?
And thanks for the SVoice advice.

I am currently and successfully using PDAnet to USB tether my phone to my laptop.
However, neither the mobile hotspot feature of PDAnet or on the phone itself work.
I want it to work.
Error Message: Mobile Data is unavailable or invalid Sim.
Clueless tech help from Tmobile and Samsung.
Googled the problem and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283615
I have successfully rooted my phone.
I successfully downloaded and installed SQLiteEditor.
I feel like I'm VERY close to fixing this but so far no cigar.
** I can't figure out where to locate the "entitlement" so I can change the value.**
Can anyone tell me the exact name and the path I need to follow through SQLiteEditor to get there?
Bless your heart.

Hello,
My neighbor, an old lady, has this phone. She subscribed a full data contract and she needs to turn the phone into a hot spot for her laptop (Windows 8.0 based...)
She could not do it, so I was called to the rescue.
I was unable to do it. Shame on me.
So I ask the experts for advice and help.
Please help me be "great again"
Many many thanks from both of us in advance for your help and advice.

Most easy way is to get a 'mifi' box and kindly ask the provider for an additional sim-card. Some providers even supply those boxes at a fair price and to be used in the same subscription.
Since you donnot specify, I expect the phone is not rooted.
Next, I hope the phone is not branded (supplied by the phone company and loaded with their software).
So the system is running android 4.4 (as that was the lates version I got on my SII).
Now I'm doing this by head as android 4.4 is some time ago.. See the phone settings app and in there you should find the option called 'tethering'. Other names are wifi-hotspot and such.
Be noted, if the phone is connected to a wifi network, the option can be grayed-out or even invisible, so best to disconnect the wifi network. I'm in daupt if you need to disable the wifi itself. In the end it is needed.
The latest available stock ROM is 4.1.2 Check out the picture to activate WiFi tethering hotspot. You can put the SIM inside the phone, turn mobile data on and then activate tethering.
