Hi there,
I've been trying to look around in search and asking in related roms threads but couldn't get any answer.
I'm currently on SuperBad's V1.7, and been using mostly his roms while trying out others.
And I also heavily use the APN widget, usually Toggle Data, to cut my APN when i don't need it and activate it when i do. data connectivity costs a lot where i live.
my problem is that with the latest roms, coming from superbad's v1.5.1 till now, and I've tried also on all roms that use the same stepping Superbad, the APN doesn't reactivate once u've turned it off through the widget, i've tried other APN widgets also, same issue.
even if the APN shows as ON, the data connectivity does not go through.
the only way around i've found is to reboot the phone for APN to work again.
thanks for helping

First off, i would like to say hello XDA, this is my first post on the forum, so bare with me
Okay, here is my problem. I bought a unlocked G1 and i am using it on AT&T, i rooted it and installed CM on it. I DO have unlimited messaging- (texting AND mms, i spoke to a rep. and he told me this) Okay back to point- after i applied the APN settings, i noticed that the "E with arrows up and down" were lit so i knew data was being transferred. right away i deleted the APN so i wont get charged. But what im looking for is a code or app that will DISABLE data, but keep the APN for MMS. I WILL be using the market and other apps ONLY WITH WIFI, NOT DATA!!! So please help me out with this. i have tried APNdroid- and it didnt work (unless i set something wrong, if someone wants to help me with that)and i tried WisyncPlus (again, i dont think i set it right ). So short and simple- I want a app or code that will ONLY USE THE APN FOR MMS- and ONLY USE WIFI for the browser,market,apps,etc...
Not 100% sure, but I've read somewhere that The G1 will use background data intermittently, even after you turn it off. I used it for a week without a data plan, monitored my account at T-Mobile, and they registered my data use, but it was less than 1 mb a day so they weren't charging me.
Just off the top of my head, I remember the threads saying to not put username, password and server blank under apn settings.
Or downloading anycut, or bettercut, to make a shortcut to "testing" and running that will allow you to turn off data. All this was over at androidforums.com
Bump.... )=. I got APNdroid to work as i wanted it to! (only turn on data for mms, then turn off when the MMS was sent, or recieved) but while searching for "g1 battery tips" i installed "Ultimate juice" then un installed it, and then the dreaded E with arrows popped up and was lit. I checked APNdroid and no settings were modified (Disable all APNs, and enable MMS) I tried reinstalling APNdroid. but no luck )= UGH!!!! this is really pissing me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I currently have something on the phone not allowing 3g access. I can't seem to figure out what it is, but I believe I narrowed it down to an App. I did a wipe and clean rom install and 3g was working fine. I did a titanium backup restore of all apps with data and now 3g isn't working again. Anyone know of an easy way to pinpoint what is blocking my 3g? I tried ending all tasks in advanced task manager, but I'm guessing the phone would need a reboot to bring back 3g?
Have you check you settings-wireless & networks-mobile networks-use only 2g networks?
ya I tried using only 2g network, I even tried researching the network and it finds tmobile in the settings. I even went as far as getting a fresh sim card prior to wiping the phone. Somehow after an app/data restore from titanium back up, tmobile internet no longer works still. It's why I wiped in the first place.
1) Double check your APN settings in settings > networks > mobile networks
2) In dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#* > choose phone info > scroll down > verify that 'set preferred network type' reads WCDMA preferred.
3) Also in settings, make sure you didnt set 'use 2g only'. Same location as #2 above
Thanks for your help. I actually just did a nandrestore from an image I had that was a week old and internet came back, so it has to of been something I done within a weeks time. I just hope I don't end up hitting the app that stopped it, if I think it was one, because thats the only thing that makes sense to me.
I have your same problem could you be so kind as to attach the img you put so I try too? thanks

Then you will have his phone.
you mean....?
i Think i have a similar problem... I turn 3g on and after half an hour i cannot access the internet anymore... The sign in the notification area shows the "sent arrow" blinking but the receive arrow does nothing... I have apndroid to control my 3g usage... I unistalled it, did a reboot but again the problem persists... Do you have anything in mind???
I forgot to mention that the exact same thing happens with 2g network as well

When someone does a nandroid backup, it backs up all the data on the phone. All of it, if you restore it to your phone, you will be logged into google as him, you will have all his contacts, messages, settings etc. If one of you downloads something, it may download on both machines. The only way to fix it would be to wipe both of them.
i have the same problem. two days ago its working fine. i just turn on turn off the wifi and it just works again.
Can also try turning the airplane mode on/off. This problem occurs if you use APNdroid or similar, or toggle mobile connection on the Desire ROM.
tired of trying and try to wipe, reset, several rom, so I decided to send it to HTC in England ... and the problem is which has the bootloader unlock my ...
so im leaving the country in a few hours and taking my G1 with me, been looking at solutions to effectively disable ALL mobile data, without affecting Voice. basically i'll be using a PPD SIM and dont want random data charges munching my minutes.... all sense roms have this option built in, but heres a few problems, 1.5 has no nav in maps, and i plan on using it over WIFI, 2.1 sense is just too batt hungry and unstable to possibly wind up lost in a foreign country where i speak 0 words of the native language.
from what ive read APNdroid doesn't quite do it.... is there any way as root i could effectively "break" the data connection?
or alternatively does anyone know of SoftBank in Japan offers ultd Data for PPD SIMs? if so how much? and any ideas weather i'll be able to get 3G or only EDGE with my T-mo Radio
try dialing *#*#4636#*#*
then "Phone information"
menu button
"More"
"Disable data connection"
Do the same to turn it back on.
id read about this fix as well, however it appears it doesnt hold across reboots, ima be here for a couple weeks, i need a more permanent solution...
is there no way to physically remove the drivers that control the mobile network via ADB or maybe pull it out of an update.zip before flashing?
I think the option below it is "disable on boot". You could try that.
change the APN settings, or get a program called quick settings from the market. either way is a quick fix.
the set on boot option will reset its self after the WiFi is cycled... and of course without data i'll be using wifi as much as possible.... so far APN droid has served me pretty well, however i've still cought glimpses of that 3G icon, so if anyone has any ideas im all ears
i remember some early Haykuro ports that had improper Radio drivers and had no data connection, so if anyone knows what files those would be thats really the key im looking for
bump/update
the only time i see it trying to pull data when the APN is disabled, auto sync is off, and bkgrnd data is off, is in one of 2 cases, immeadeatly after i cycle off wifi, i see the 3g icon for a split second, and sometimes when im in Market uninstalling something
ive come to the conclusion its probably easier to just leave WiFi on and not touch the market unless ive got a WiFi signal, but now its almost a matter of i know that theres got to be a way to do it (seeing as with Root, i should be able to "break" just about anything) and its eluding me....
if anyone has any clue as to what files control the data "drivers" or whatever, im sure i can take it from there, just need a push in the right direction (or directory, lol)
Go to APN under Networks and just delete all the APNs.
Alternatively you can make a new one with bogus information and select it.
... did you even read my post.... that was my first try, days ago...
So yesterday I noticed I didn't have a data connection. Nothing would work, facebook, internet, google maps, nothing. No data.
So I dig around in the settings a bit. And find my APN was set to inet.bell.ca_off
Obviously the _off shouldn't be there. So I removed it. I also found my APN Type wasn't set, so I set it to Internet + MMS
And then my data started working again.
Does anyone know why or how those settings would have gotten changed? I don't recall doing anything out of the ordinary with the phone around that time.
Maybe I didn't pay my bill and this is how Bell turns off your service?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
that is so weird, it can only be changed manually
i do not know of any way that it can be changed by itself or via remote programmed script
Most phones are able to remotely receive apn settings. Usually a user request and confirmation is required.

Maybe you used a data toggle app/widget to turn it off. Some apps kill your data connection by renaming your APN.
I don't have such a widget installed. When I found I had no data, I tried toggling airplane mode on and off a few times..... but by then the setting must have been changed already.
I have a Droid 4 with stock 4.0.4 that works perfectly with Polish Orange operator (GSM). I tried to install some JB rom, but when I go to 4.1 or 4.2 I don't have any data connection. At first I thought it was a problem in some particular ROM, so I tried almost all 4.1/4.2 builds I could find on the internet. They all have different options, more or less, but I didn't get data connection on any of them.
The second try was to modify 'something' in build.prop. I had no idea how to start so I checked some tutorials and xda topics and I looked at any options that could be related to data connection. After many tries I started to think that it's just impossible, but then I got the setup with working data , unfortunately the phone application started to hang or FC on all phone connections.
The next thing I could do was to narrow it down. I tried some combinations of build.prop, apns-conf, restarts and wiping and I've found a single setting that changes everything - "telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice". It seems to work this way:
1. Just after the installation of any ROM the option is set to 1. You can make and receive calls and SMS's. Wifi, GPS, etc. works. But regardless of what network options I use, if it's LTE or just 2G GSM, what APNs I set, if I reboot or use airplane mode - there are no data at all.
2. When I change this setting to 0 and reboot I immediatelly get the data connection. I don't even need to set-up APN (In fact it works even with VZW default APN, and I'm on Orange PL). It works on 2G and 3G, on GSM and LTE, I get all networks from Edge to HSDPA. So the phone is able to get data connection. But when I try to make a call the phone app hangs, and when I receive one it FCs.
For both of those cases I tried many different configuration options, with reboots, wipes and so on, to make sure that connection depends on build.prop setting and not on anything else.
So at this point I know that the phone is able to do both connection types, but how to get them at the same time?
BTW: I know about using Google, forum search and so on, I tried to find any clue about resolving this on my own but now I'm just stuck. However I've found something that I didn't find anywhere else, so maybe with your help we'll find some solution .
Ok LTE only works with verizon and apn depends on your network
I'am use a mod I flash thet after rom install and this mod patch the build.prob an add a larg apn list

Thanks for saving my phone @NighPlayer32 . I still got some random shutdown so I need to test it more, before I use it as daily device, but now I see light in this tunnel. The phone and data works, even without any touch in settings.
I'm going to check this mod in more details and understand what it does, so I may get back with some more questions .
Thanks
