[Q] Bell Galaxy Tab on Rogers - no internet - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I am using Gingerbread - Overcome on an unlocked Bell Galaxy tab.
I am able to make phone calls or send / receive SMS messages with my Rogers sim card.
However there is no internet / data connection.
I have tried to use different APN settings, but no luck.
Could please anyone point me in the right direction? Is is possible that the modem file I used is not the right one? ( I have used the JPZ modem file)? If I need a different modem file: which one do I need? Can I reflash just the modem with Odin, leaving all the other parts unchanged?
Thank you all!

Wohoo: it works!!! All I had to do is to allow "Data Network Mode" in the shutdown screen.
Stupid me....

gingerbread att tab

Just flashed the new gingerbread rom. Works great but it doenst recognize my sim card or network. I have att tab. Any help to restore it?
Did you remember to download the Modem package too? That's what I'm guessing.
sent from my Galaxy Tab using Cerebral up-link
Did you flash the version with the bootloader? Any whiteline issue on boot?
No I didn't download or flash a modem do I need to? I flashed the one with the bootloader. No whiteline I noticed.
I flashed with bootloader, tried 2 different modems, and no network. wifi works. tried flashing back to stock and everything went crazy. While I was using Odin, I STUPIDLY, plugged in my Captivate to charge without thinking, causing Odin to fail and I got the "phone - ! - PC" Icon.......talked about scared! Ended up using Roto's ATT stock image and Odin to get it back running again,barely. Now I get CRAZY lines when I boot (like if you tweaked the cable to an LCD screen), can't see Recovery screen....total craziness. Still no data. so I flashed back to OverCome Gingerbread ROM following his instructions, still no data
UNTIL
I swapped the SIM card with my phone. I suddenly got data on my Tab, but data would not function on my phone. Seems like the problem follows my SIM. Background: I also had a weird issue before hand where I couldn't open the Market on Cellular data without killing the data connection on Stock Rooted.
Thought I'd share.
EDIT: oh, and I can send text messages without issue.
Go to Settings, Wireless & Network, Mobile Networks, Access Point names and make sure you have one called Broadband (assuming you are on the ATT monthly data only plan)
If you dont, create a new APN and name it Broadband & make the APN Broadband as well. Just leave the other options and save it & select it.
I think by default it comes up with the ATT wap.cingular APN with doesnt work with the Tab Data plan.

Gingerbread 2.3.3 installed modem does not work
AT&T monthly pay as you go. What modem.bin do I load? Where can I get it. Is there any additional setup instructions?
Follow my instructions above and flash the JK3 modem fromt this thread.

Mine keeps saying insert sim card to access. So how do I get it to recognize the sim?
Please anyone with some help? Can I store back to original att froyo and just wait for official upgrade?
Have you guys entered in your APN settings for ATT Broadband?
I am also having a strange radio issue. I am using an ATT Tab with Overcome v2.0 Beta 2 and the JK3 modem. 3G data works great until I try to access the Google Android Market. As soon as I do it drops the 3G connection and wont come back until I reboot it. If I dont go to the market or only go to the market on WiFi it works just fine. I also verified that the same behavior happens with the JPZ modem..
My theory is somehow ATT is blocking Gingerbread Tabs from going to the market using their SIM card. Therefore I think maybe I need to edit my build.prop to spoof them. Can anyone recommend which values should be changed? Can anyone think of anything else that could cause this? Can anyone reproduce this issue on their ATT tab?

You used the bootloader patch app, right?
Reinstall the stock 2.3, then the root, then overcome. Follow the overcome guide, this time put the modem.bin in the phone slot in odin. There is no other fox for the wiggly lines. If you don't reflash everything, you can't get into recovery mode.
i cant get into the network settings as it tells me to insert a sim. I tried to flash the modem as well with no luck.
ok so I turned on my tab to play with it a bit and I had data! It was an H and seemed to work. When I restarted the tab it stopped working and said no sim again.
1) The Gingerbread rom has a modem with it that works fine on AT&T.
2) Did you leave your sim card in while flashing?
i did leave my sim in while flashing. Should I have it out? It seems the tab only recognizes the sim card every so often. Not all the time. Any way to flash the sim recognition part?
Could you please post how you flashed your att tab so I can follow it? Thanks.

[Q] CM7 on roaming

Hi,
I flashed the latest stable CM7 for the i9000 last night and now i can't get 3G signal. I flashed back to the stock Bell rom and everything worked fine, but when I put CM7 I only get a roaming signal.
I'm on Fido in Montreal and I've put the correct fido apn, but the phone recognizes the sim as CAN Rogers Wireless Inc. Before it would first state Rogers and then automatically switch to Fido and I'd have full 3G signal, but now it just says on Rogers and roaming.
I've tried installing different modem files, but still no luck.
I can't make calls or use the internet.
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance!

-------------
i hope this help you and don t forgot to save all your files in pc and remove external card
I managed to get it to work after trying different radio and modem files, but now i have another problem.
I am with Fido, but the phone now identifies the network as Rogers Wireless. I know they're both the same network, but before it would be identified as Fido. Is this a problem? Are there any risks of being charged roaming fees?
I'm using the same Fido APN as before...

[Q] Rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab SGH-T849- can't make calls

i have a samsung galaxy tab 7.0 that is rooted and running on android 2.3.3. It is unlocked from tmobile, but when i try to make a call its instantly ends the call and says call ended. what can i do to solve this issue.
thanks
Are you on JJB baseband (in setting phone about) you need a different modem, maybe JPZ (look at dev subforum, sticky threads, there is a modem thread)
It will allow making call but only 2G speed for internet.
Use the famous roto modem switcher to switch back and forth. (also in dev forum, if using this, no need to hunt down the modem file, it is all included).
I am assuming you are on T-mobile network because you didn't say.

Hai =)
You should first check your APN, thats where your mobile data en GSM network is connected with. You can find your APN data mostly at your providers site.

Its not about connecting to the GSM for data service, i am talking about just the network for normal calls and SMS, the device is not connecting to the provider network.
Secondly where can I get the modem files for this device and what is the process to update the modem file only. Does the firmware files downloaded from sammobile has the modem files built-in too ?
