Hi,
I got my Samsung Galaxy S about a week ago and I don't know what it is but my 3G is suddenly not working. I have tried playing around with the settings but I cant seem to find the trick. When I open apps or use the internet browser with WIFI all if fine, until I swap it to 3G nothing loads. Is there a setting that could be causing this error? It would be great help if you could solve this. This phone was bought from Optus (Aus) and used on Vodafone (Aus) network.
HELP ME
Thanks,
Gregie
Ask as many questions as you wish.
could be you by accident disabled, back ground data. this will remove the 3g. look for it in your settings.
You most likely screwed with he APN settings. Clear it and set it up again with settings from vodafone

Hi guys,
Tried searching for a similar problem but didn't find anything.
I have had it changed twice now, so it could be a problem with the current software.
I am finding that I am missing most of my calls, and they are going straight through to voicemail, despite having full reception.
This is not happening with the Sim card in any other phone, just with the Vario 3.
This is a T- Mobile UK handset
has anyone had a similar problem? I'm thinking if they are just replacing it again then I may have to try a different handset.
It's very disruptive for work and social purposes when callers are getting straight to voicemail most of the time.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated
thanks.
Hi, The problem may be with the 3G network, I had a similar problem and was told to change the network settings to standard GPRS settings through the network settings menu on the vario iii.
This did solve the problem of calls not coming through. I changed settings back to 3G a couple of days later and all seemed to be working again.
I think that the problem lies with the 3G network as I was advised by someone I know who works for T-mobile UK that T-mobile are still experimenting with 3G and certain areas may work better than other areas due to problems with the network at certain times.
Were the other phones that you used your sim in on 3g or standard gprs settings?

Thanks for the response.
I have put it on GPRS which seems to have helped.
It's just defeating the purpose of web and walk.
My previous phone was the vario 2 which to my memory worked fine, although I did put the latest radio version etc on it via this site.
They are sending a repair bag for me to post over to them the handset, but I imagine they don't have any updated software to stick on it or radio.
I've got an Orange UK Kaiser and it was working nicely. Then I had it unlocked using the service from http://www.imei-check.co.uk. I can use a Vodafone SIM to call and text without any problem. However when I tried to use 3G connection to browse the internet, it automatically tried to connect via Orange Internet and then failed, not surprisingly. So, how can I set up the phone to use Vodafone's 3G network instead of Orange's? It seems I can set up a new connection but I have not a single clue how to do it. I apologise if this is already asked and answered on the forum, I really couldn't find it. So, could anybody please point me to the right thread, or tell me how to solve the problem? Many many thanks.
Just google for vodafone's GPRS connection settings and either create a new connection or replace the orange one's details in start, settings, connections tab, connections.
problem solved, many thanks for the help.
Hi. I just bought a new galaxy s from vodafone, but when i tried to use a 3g data connection it just won't work. it works fine with wi-fi connection but if i turn that off (or if i don't use it at all) the phone just won't connect to the internet. i've double checked the apn settings...is there an option to turn the data connection on and i'm just not seeing it? please help...
sometimes it helps to restart the phone
or switch it to airplane mode then back
Did that
i've read other posts for other type of connection problems and i did what u said...nothing...it just doesn't even try to connect...
do you have any other SIM card from friends/family that you can try?
just wondering if it's related to your SIM account, or if it's defective phone
if it is working over wifi there is still something wrong with apn settings or your sim card.. i doubt it is the phone itself.. or you are in an area with no 3g edge.. or wrong phone ie t mobile vibrant on bell or att network

3. i was not able to get data connection (able to make phonecalls and sms, but no 3g)
4. my apn settings are correct (i have another sgs configured same way on same network)
5. decided to upgrade to 2.2 (JPH) hoped this would help - NO
6. updated MODEM & CSC to the SAME ones working on my second SGS - STILL NOT WORKING

Here's what's there, can you see what is wrong ?
Try this, worked for me
This is a weird coincidence. I have (had!) the exact same problem.
My problem was when I reflashed my galaxy S with stock firmware back again, I lost 3g connection. Using a different sim (which supports only Edge) I was able to get edge connection but with my sim, there was no connection.
Here's what I did. It seems when you select the band selection to "Automatic" it somehow didnt get registered properly even though it showed up on the settings->Wireless and network->Mobile networks->NetworkMode. Even though it read GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) it wasnt actually the case.
So - type *#2263# on your phone to enter the Service Mode's Band Selection.
There see if first row is [1] AUTOMATIC[] OR [1] AUTOMATIC[*]
In my case it wasnt selected ie. there was no *. So I clicked on it and did that selection myself and baam!! H connection. It connected even before I exited from service mode.
I tried a 2g and 3g card after that multiple times and it connects properly to E or H from then on.
Give it a try. I am hoping that your APN is set properly.

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately this didn't work :-(
1. Automatic was selected.
2. Ive tried to play around with the options there and within the mobile networks.
Nothing works ... this is so frustrating :-(

Why didn't you just call Vodafone and get their help before flashing the phone If you already have another SGS configured same way at the same location with 3G, then chances are there is a hardware problem with the phone.
Anyways, try contacting vodafone, they might still do something about it (despite the fact you have voided their warranty by flashing).

The problem is that I'm not from Czech Republic. The phone was purchased there by a friend of mine and brought to me...
Hi guys, i have a problem with my Galaxy S23.
I am connected to wifi at home and mobile data on. But, when i turn off the wifi, the mobile data does not activate. I've checked the APN settings, i call the provider, i reset the network settings ... same issue.
Mobile data is activating only if i call to a short number like *100#. If i don't dial, even the mobile data toggle is on there is no connection.
Can you please help me !
Have you tried a factory reset?
This is the only thing i don't want to do, because i'm going to lose my eSim's.

Fairly certain this shouldn't matter. I think they stay when you reset the phone. You might want to research this more.
Ok, so i did a factory reset. Nothing changed. However, i found an option in developer mode "mobile data always active". This is keeping the data on even if wifi is connected. It is running ok now, but, the battery consumption is a bit higher.
Hi guys,
I'm from Brazil and I'm having the same issue on my S23 ultra.
I use 1 eSIM from Vivo and a SIM from TIM.
When I'm using the mobile data, sometimes it doesn't work even the 4G or 5G are on.
I tried switch between carrier (Tim and Vivo) and both show 4G sign and doesn't work.
There are two ways to restore the mobile data, restart the phone or turn off and turn on the airplane mode. But after some minutes the problem continues.
I went to a Samsung Store and they put a new and clean OS, but after 1 day the problem started again.
I searched about it and I couldn't find a fix to this problem.
I will try to use only SIM and not use eSIM. I read some articles that the T-Mobile was having same issues.
I think it is a chronic problem. Maybe they need a recall or a new update to fix this issue.
Does any know how to fix this problem?
I have 2 SIMs because there are some places that I work that only 1 carrier works.
Problem solved.
I went to the provider and replaced the sim card with a new one. Now it's working without any issues.
