I recently got samsung galaxy s6 edge and it is not able to connect to the internet. I was told to go to app > settings > mobile networks and then select either LTE/Global/GSM. The problem is that none of those options exist. the only thing that is there is "Data Roaming" which gives me an option to either turn on or off. if i select it nothing happens. could someone please assist.
thank you in advance,

I have just purchased an unlocked T-Mobile Vibrant and it works well with my carrier' voice network by just installing my current SIM card into it. My carrier is Iwireless. The problem is that I have been unable to connect to their data network. I have contacted customer service for Iwireless and have obtained the APN for their network but any assistance beyond that they are not really forthcoming since the Vibrant is not one of their phones.
Has anyone succeeded in using the Vibrant to connect to Iwireless' data network? I had hoped that since Iwireless was an affiliate of T-Mobile that there wouldn't be an issue with the data.
Any help, hint or tips will be appreciated.
Since you already have the APN settings, go on the phone to settings-->Wireless and Networks-->Mobile Networks-->Access Point Names and there you can click the menu button (lower left corner) and select "add new APN" the put the settings they gave you and done... maybe restart the phone just in case after putting the new APN
I have already entered to APN I received from Iwireless and restarted the phone. Also from the Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile networks where I entered the APN, I go into "Network operators" and choose "Search now" to search for all available networks and this comes back with the Iwireless network IWS and also AT&T. When I select IWS it comes back and says that I am "Registered on network". I restart the phone and still no connection.
Are there other settings that need to be made?
Thanks.

I'm having the same on my Samsung Galaxy SIII it's iWireless and service department had no clue.
Hey guys,
i seem to have a problem with my phone.. the problem is, i can get internet on my phone via wifi... but not via 3gs
when i go to settings > sony ericsson > there's no option to get the download settings of my provider... so my question to you is... how can i get this back?
or do i have to reflash my phone... which i want to use as my last option....
i hope you guys can help me out
thanks in advance!
when you goto settings > sony ericsson it should list camera, settings download, timescape settings? The settings download on mine doesn't do anything, I assume it's because they've already been downloaded. Or does this option not appear on yours?
Try switching the wifi off and connecting to the internet. my old phone satio would automatically download the settings when I tried connecting, if I didn't have any active settings.
There is also usually an option to get the settings from your provider. With o2 in the UK, you text 'Active' to 2020, and they push you a configuration message.
Check your provider, there might be a similar service.
first of all thanks for your replies!
@project some
i only got camera settings, used to be some download settings but it suddenly dissapeared.
@Sideromelane
tried it and doesnt work ...
any other options left?
Hi there,
if you already received internet settings from your provider, try to activate the data traffic option (settings -> Wireless and network settings -> mobile networks -> and check the Data traffic option).
If you haven't received internet settings from the provider, try to check them from your provider's website, or find SIM toolkit in the list of applications and check if you have get settings (for O2, UK).
Cheers
I am one of the lucky ones that lives/works in an EDGE only area. Is there a way to disable 3G/4G and just use EDGE? Under Mobile Networks, I can uncheck 'use packet data', choose 'access point names' (currently set to epc.tmobile.com) or select 'network operators'.
I saw various talks of it on other devices, but wanted to know for sure what my options were on the GS3.
Thanks.
It's in the hidden menu to change your network settings.
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Select Device information
Scroll down to network preference
I believe "GSM only" will take you down to edge.

Thanks for the info! It was set to "GSM auto (PRL)". I went ahead and set it to GSM only, rebooted, and it held that setting. Guess we'll see if that helps any on the battery life too :good:
Kind of ridiculous that this option isn't easily available, as it was before
Hi,
As I have some problems at home with 3G, I wanted to set my preferred network to GSM as explained here. In that article, the way to access the "Phone Info" is to dial "*#*#4636#*#*". However, that does absolutely nothing on my phone (stock 4.1.2).
Searching this forum suggests that there is an application called "Any Cut" that can give a shortcut to that menu. However I just can't find that app on Google Play anymore. Does anyone know another way to to access that menu?

Re: [Q] How to access "Phone Info" menu?
You can search for something like '2G/3G switch', and you can find apps you're looking for.
Or you can just go to Settings -> Mobile networks -> Network mode -> GSM only.

Thanks, but that is not what I want (manually change between 2G/3G). I want to change the preferred network type to "GSM Auto (PRL)". It seems that I need to access the "Phone Info" menu somehow...
I would be interested too. Anyone knows?
M looking for the same thing, [ the preferred network is set to WCDMA and my SIm is a GSM one ] however the difference is in my mobile(micromax A101) the preferred network option is disables, recently I downloaded an app from play store , its "Network' there I can see a preferred network drop down list, but no matter whatever mode I choose its changing back to WCDMA immediately after selecting. Guys any clue what am I supposed to do?
Yes you can
You need to download a ROM and apply this:

Works really good.
I don't know why is't in all cooked roms....
Hey,
I recently got a Doogee S60. I rooted the device successfully. However, I can’t access the "Cellular network settings". Up to now, I was still able to use the phone within my home country. Roaming however was not possible, as the phone didn't select a network. Since yesterday the phone doesn't select a network in my home country anymore either, and I can't change the "Cellular network settings".
Please help!
