[Q] 3G Network not working after updating to 2.2

So i used odin to flash my captivate...Now my 3G network isnt working. Instead of 3G it shows an "E" next to the bars which i assume stands for Edge and I am not able to connect to anything using it D:

Are you on Rogers or AT&T? As far as I know no ROMs have the proper APNs for Rogers, and that could be your problem.

I have had the same problem, you have to manual put in the apn setting for Rogers or At & T. Once you have them back in, use apn backup and restore, a free app to back them up.

how would u manually put in the settings?

No need. I'll attach my Rogers APN backup.
Download APN Backup and Restore, then extract my zip file into the root of your sdcard (So the full directory will be /sdcard/ApnBackupRestore/whateverthexmlisnamed.xml). Launch APN Backup and Restore, then hit Restore APNs and you're good to go!

[Q] No 3G connection

I recently flashed Darkyy's Gingerbread v8 and I cannot receive a 3G connection.
I have selected and unselected the "use packet data" and "data roaming" options as well as downloaded an app to turn on data connections incase it was needed, however still no luck.
I have WiFi connection, signal for messaging and calls.
Any help appreciated as I cannot find anything anywhere
SGS l9000

I would ask the rom developer .

Thanks, I've already sent a message
Do you know if it's safe to do a factory reset? Will this just take me back to 2.1 eclair?

It will not reset to ur stock firmware it will just delete all apps and settings. Did u check if u have any entries under settings/wireless settings/mobile network/access point names/ ? If not u should go on ur carriers page and resend the mms / internet settings.

did you create the APN entry in Wireless settings?

Shrooms and Allgamer - No I havent got anything under APN.
How do I go about that?
(currently searching google - for some info)
I managed to find from my providers website the details for the "Internet" APN my 3G is working thanks for your help.
My WiFi is broke now though. Im presuming this is something to do with settings as well, if anyone knows why this is happening.
I am connected to the network I just have no data coming through.
Thanks

1. NEVER DO A FACTORY RESET AFTER INSTALLING A CUSTOM ROM! - Doing a factory reset will unroot your phone leaving a ROM/files installed on your phone that would only survive if the phone was rooted sometimes causing major issues.
2. Check to make sure you still have your IMEI. Use SGS toolbox (free) From the market. If you don't then use search on xda as there is a fix
3. It might be a modem issue. Try another modem from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9724862&postcount=14434 *If you are a bell, fido customer* or use a carrier that runs the 850 band then you should try to follow the instructions I have posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10533852&postcount=2525
Let me know how you go

Sorry I've just fixed it, I remembered I installed and APP called DroidWall and I never selected it to use WiFi...Sorry my fault.
Thaks everyone for your help, learned alot about my phone.

[Q] no data after update to ics

hey guys.
this is my first post so please forgive me if this is the wrong place or is listed somewhere where i could not find.
so my problem is i updated my gt-i9000 to 4.03 using this guide.
cyanogenmod 9-cm9-by-teamhacksung-for-galaxy-s-i9000-ics-android-4-0-3
the problem i have is that i now don't have any mobile data.
i lived with it for a while but now it is really frustrating.
i did not save the data settings so is there anything i can do?
can i reset to stock firmware then update again with saving the data settings?
of is there a simple way to remedy this?
any suggestions really appreciated.
elf.

Go to setting and reset access point name

yea i have tried this but it does not work.
i will try updating to 4.0.4 and i might have more luck.

Just create a new apn and enter the settings for the apn of your service provider

I would suggest the same as the previous post: create a new APN and enter the settings manually. It should normally work.

but I found many useful information in xda and I root my phone and I am glad to achieve this level but still not able to find what I need.
if I change rom can I get full control of my device without lossing any advantages in my device , if so what is the things I am going to loss in using another rom , also what is the best rom to use

Try editing the file apns-conf.xml located in /system/etc to include your apn info and see if that makes it stick. You may have to wipe data/cache after pushing the new file

I had hard time looking for information about the sitting with Yemen mobile , any way you have to be rooted to do the following for activating 1xrtt and later the EV-Do
1- ask the company to activate the service for you if asked tell them your phone is ready
2- change the mcc and mnc code in the root -> system build prop
you would find this line
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310004
change the no. to 42103 and save
you can use ES File explorer to do the above make sure the system is mounted as rw before editing otherwise you will not be able to save your changes
no
go to system > etc you would find a file called apns-conf.xml where you can add the apn for yemen mobile use ymobile for the apn name and the user name and password
I suggest you copy the files to other place and edit them when ready rename the orginal files , and copy the edited files. Reboot , ready
Now download apn shortcut from the market and make the apn , ymobile username and password the same ( ymobile , the rest nothing )

7amzah shargabi la t8oooollleeeeeeeeeeeeeshhh 7ata ant ??
m3ak the 7amzah here
got the same phone man , but 3la na9eebi al wireless 7a8 tlfoni feeeh 5alal ma9na3i =/ imagine that bro
i mean, u have a phone that is not able to connect to the internet neither by network nor by WiFi .. -____-
My phone is fortunately on warranty, but now i have to send it all the way back to the US for motorola to fix/replace it for me =(
im using Sabafon, for you YemenMobile users u gotta be happy, most of the ROM development here focuses on CDMA users, you should try the steeldroid rom or eclipse, just make sure the rom you're about to download is marked "deodexed" so you could te3arribo your phones so u view messages or contacts or whatsapp or any sort of arabic text with no headache of arabic text readers

I screwed up (I think)

Hi All,
Need some help - I've been working more on CDMA phones b/c of sprint, and just flashed my friends captivate (att), but after the flash, have no data or cell service. (I flashed cwm recovery with odin, and then was able to get miui 2.8.3 onto the phone.)
Not sure how to get the cell signal to work, or what needs to be done to get things back to good ...
I see things about flashing back to stock, and then restarting - and i'm lost with the modem files, nothing of them are working so far, but I feel good about it....
--Adrian

Apn settings need to be reset to default... Go to Settings/ Wireless and network/ Mobile networks/ Access Point Names then hit capacitve menu button then "Reset to default".
And if that doesn't work, u probably need to flash an appropriate modem.

Also you can try entering the APN yourself. Just Google the name of your network, and apn. You should find the info you need to create a new apn.
