Did you flash the newest ROM and are you a tmo custy or an at&t custy? BTW... if you read through the entire 3.2 post you'd have found the solution to your problems was setting the APN under Wireless and Networks.

Did that get fixed? I heard people were still having apn issues even after manually setting them. Guess I'm off to wade through that thread!
I am with T-Mobile and I did this last night using the 3.2 post nothing more and the phone was already root with the 2.2.2 upate.
I looked over the APN post but doesnt really explain lot or give details. I know T-Mobile has 3 APN's that they use so maybe I should call them and get the information for all 3 ? I am assuming one is for MMS and the other two are phone/Data ?
Can you text with this device? I have never been able to... Not without some kind of program like Gvoice or something.

Hey Guys,
I'm really liking my first Android phone, but am having a heck of time working out the kinks. Phone calls and text work. Here's a list and if anyone can help out with any of them, I'd really appreciate it.
1. The phone constantly tries to do Sprint Auto-Activation. I *believe* this is causing the GUI to crash constantly...I've tried three ROMs and none run very stable. Is there a way to disable that pesky auto-activate?
2. I need data settings for Virgin or Boost. Coming from an iPhone, I don't see a setting for an APN anywhere. I think I have the settings, but I'm not sure I'm putting them in the right place.
3. Is there a special ROM I should install since I'm not on Sprint? I'm surprised there aren't more Verizon ROMs around.
Please help with any suggestions.
Realized this should probably be in the "General" instead....

So your on virginmobile but with a cdma hero? Awesome to get to the apn settings just hold the green call button down till you get the voice dial or just do it from your menu. When it comes up say, "open apns". It will take you to the apns. Are you rooted? Also to get the phone to stop doing that pesky
Thanks for the help. I'm working on the APN stuff now. I think your last post got cut short. I'd really like to know how to disable to auto-activate crap. I'm also getting invalid username/password, but I'm sure thats just becuase its trying to log into Sprint.
So u can use sprint phones on virgin mobile? please how do u do this..that 25 buck plan looks to good to pass up.. How would i say use my hero on virgin mobile..
I'm only able to place calls and text. NO DATA which is driving me nuts. I need the APN/Data settings for VM, but no one seems to have them.
And my phone keeps trying to do Sprint auto-activation, which is also driving me nuts. And I keep getting GUI crashes no matter which ROM I use. So far the process has been anything but smooth.
Does anyone have ideas on disabling Sprint auto-activation? Thanks!

I knows this isn't much help but do a search for cricket. I saw a way earlier just gotta find it cuz i'm not doing anything i'll look to ..... try this enter ##data# then hit edit enter your msl then turn off vocoder. Also hit menu then commit changes
I'm pretty sure I seen an APK in the phone somewhere that was related to the over the air activation stuff... might wanna look for it.
I could be wrong, that may be for the Moment, but that's Android on Sprint too so I dont see why the Sprint Hero would be different.
I too am really interested in putting my Hero on Virgin Mobile US. Has anyone figured out the data settings for wap/apn and whatever else is needed? If not, if one were to purchase a cheap virgin phone, say a jax, could the information be taken from there?
Also, would it be necessary to use a non-sprint ROM since virgin mobile runs on the Sprint network???? Thanks for any help.
Ok, I tried the BitterSweet and the nags went away and everything is running smooth on my Hero...I'm really liking it. Just no DATA. I'm still waiting on settings from someone. I tried VM tech support and they didn't even know what an APN was...seriously.
Yes, you can buy a cheap $10 Virgin Mobile phone and use those "settings" for the Hero. That's all I'll say about that.

Lol, not asking about that one setting. I already knew that part, I mean if someone were to buy a cheap phone would they be able to get all the settings, apn/wap and so on from it. If so, which phone, and what else would be needed?

can program your apns in by holding down the green call button and saying "open apns" also try pushing ##data# and you'll get a menu with data and mms stuff. Another note I've been doing some research to avoid the overpriced $75 dollars to get the phone flashed to metropcs and (two things) one they say they've rooted the hero. Two they say that for a normal flash all they do is change the prl.
I've accessed the ##DATA# and APN menus, but I have no idea what to change them to. I've also looked into PRLs but I can't seem to find one for Virgin. I know they just use the Sprint network so wouldn't the PRL be the same?
If anyone is really interested in using the Hero on Virgin, Boost, or Cricket PM me. I searched the internet for hours finding all the info and I don't mind helping someone else out. The more people we get working on this, the more likely we are to figure these settings out.

**** I'm trying to get it to work on metro. My main thing right now is to stop it from doing the hands free activation. I know we have slightly separate goals but that is something we could work on together. What you really need is for the op of this thread to send you his prl.
I got rid of the Sprint Auto-Activation by installing BitterSweets ROM. It's working great so far.

Just realized you were the op can you upload your prl for others? A full nandroid would be awesome
The PRL I'm using is the standard one that comes with the Hero. I haven't changed it. I can upload it, but it should be one everyone has by default on Sprint. I forget the version...

Hi
If anyone can help me out i'm having a little bit of an issue. I just unlocked my Galaxy S phone with one of your guides on this website, but now i face the issue of not be able to connect to my Data. I'm with Rogers just unlocked the phone from Bell, and having a real hard time figuring out how to get it to work.
Now i can make calls and SMS and such but i cannot use my Data Plan ?
Anyone
Thank you in advance.
You need to enter the APN information for Rogers. I don't know it, sorry, however it should be easy to come by.
How would i go about changing the APN ?
Sorry real newb to all this
Hey Ben
I figured it out, thanks a bunch
Take Care
Same Problem - How did you solve it?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (From T-Mobile) which is receiveing calls and texts on Rogers (CAnada) wireless network, but my data connection is not working.
Can you tell me how you got yours to work.
Cheers
Sam

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
On my Phone(Andromeda 2.0 Themed), I get the indication of having 3g or any signal at all and the minute I attempt to send a message, make a call, or surf the web it is unable to send that message, unable to make that call, and unable to surf the web. Help on how to fix this?
NOTE: A flash back to stock DID NOT help this problem at all.
EDIT: Changing APN isn't really working(Cant leave the APN type as not set because it auto sets it to internet+mms when I save) and I am starting to get a little frustrated. The reception was really working fine earlier today but now its just weird all over. Please help me out you guys, I really need this working.
EDIT2: Please help guys, I really need my service up for tomorrow.
EDIT3: I am going to AT&T today to swap out my SIM card!!!! I am all Odin'ed out and I will check back if this works.
First try to enable airplane mode. Then turn it off.
If that does not work check your apn settings, under wireless and network, mobile networks, access points

Doing that now.... The signal bar indicates no connected network.... Trying the second thing you suggested....
For the second option I am under Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/Access Points.
My options from there are AT&T 310 410(the text under it says wap.cingular)
What do i do from there?????
That reads correct. Unless you are on rogers. Hmmm. I am on the same rom but do not have the same issue. You may want to manually configure you're apn. You may want to search the captivate forum for at&t apn settings. I think you can find them in one of the stickies
I am on att dude. Thanks for the advice. You are positive its the APN though? This happened to me on Phoenix Reloaded too.

No I am not sure, I have not had your problem but this is where I would start if it did. The apn settings are posted in the captivate development stickies, captivate directory
Okay, so I configured the APN settings to what was found in the thread. Problem is the only thing I cannot configure is the APN type. Hm. Any help?
I am sorry I hope someone who has done this reads this and has a suggestion but I have not had to do this
Read through the sticky, maybe yet has been discussed
Read through it and nothing. It wont let me keep the APN type as not set and it automatically sets it to internet+mms. Any ideas?
Have you posted in the andromeda thread? Maybe the devs may have some ideas
I just did, hopefully they have an answer and if they dont hopefully someone will post an answer here....
I had the same issue back a few weeks ago. I called att, got a replacement phone, and it did it again. Turned out to be a bad SIM.

So do I just need a new sim card???
Well, this sim card JUST started doing this. So are you sure it is just the sim? I mean, if I go to the store to get a new sim, will they ask to see my phone? Will I have to flash back to stock before I get a new SIm?

Do you think the person in the store will have any idea what a custom rom is? Chances are they will change it no questions asked
Okay, do you think I should just play it safe and reset to stock though?
There is no harm in doing so.

Well, thanks, I will head first thing in the morning.
I got the same problem at certain locations, such as my university. Haven't been able to get much help... Gonna try getting the SIM changed as it's a pretty old SIM. Weird thing is that it works fine on my Sony Ericsson G705/W715.
So almost two months of owning my Captivate that I got from Rogers (BNIB from Kijiji) and I noticed that at a certain area in my school, I have 3/5 bars of signal yet I can't seem to text/call and use the network. Is this a network problem or phone problem? Or can it also be my SIM? My SIM card is pretty old. However everything was fine when I use my Sony Ericsson W715 in the same area.
I should add that my friends on the same network beside me, they can text/call fine, which leads me to believe that this is a phone problem. A poster over at Howard Forums suggested network congestion, but it seems impossible because everyone else can use their phone fine.
I've tried different modems too, but it doesn't help. It's like my Captivate doesn't want to work at certain areas of my school.

I am just going to change my SIM. It is about 4 years old now and I think that means it needs to be replaced. I actually worked fine at my home before and now it cant even find a network. I am going to head out for a new SIM in a little bit, I will get back to you on if it works then.
I updated to the 8.1 developers preview on my Sprint Samsung Ativ S Neo and everything worked well yesterday. Today when I left the house I found that I can't access cellular data.
I've checked to make sure cellular data is enabled, tried profile updates, etc. and I'm stumped. I was hoping that someone could either direct me to a place where I can download a ROM to flash back to the stock version of WP 8 or suggest some additional troubleshooting steps.

i have fixed my issue with some internet research.
adding manually the APN of the provider in the APN settings solved the issue for me.
hope i helped.

Nevermind - Saw your post in the other thread - Vodaphone.
Who is your provider? Sprint customer service and two Sprint stores were clueless on what the APN should be. I asked the question directly. I have also done much searching and came up with nothing (that works) for Sprint.

Sprint apn settings
Okay, So I'm curious what the sprint apn settings are because nothing allows me to get MMS back working on my developer preview Sprint Samsung Ativ S Neo. If someone could post them that would really help.
The other thing I'm curious about is if anyone knows how to get back to standard windows 8.0 on my sprint samsung ativ s neo. I guess my data problems stem from the fact that I've done a hard reset on the phone and that's why MMS isn't working. I was able to do some tricks with activation to get data working but still no MMS.
Please someone post how to get standard windows 8.0 back. Thanks!
I have Motorola Droid Turbo XT1254 Verizon model and I am using it in Asia on a non-Verizon network. Everything including wifi is fine, all apps working but I face alot of problem while using mobile data.
It only works on WhatsApp anf Google maps, I cannot even browse the internet because it doesn't work on Chrome. I tried other browsers but I can only browse the internet using Opera Mini but that has also stopped now. I cannot even call a cab when I am outside because because "Careem", the cab app says that I am not connected to the internet.
The H+ sign appears when I turn mobile data ON and I have also checked with my network operator, there is no issue at their end. They say there is something wrong with my phone.
I don't know where to start the troubleshooting. Can anyone help pl? Thanks in advance.
Someone advised me to check my APN settings. I went to the APN settings and there was nothing there. I first reset it to defaults and then added a new APN according to my network settings and everything is working fine now.
Whenever you put a new SIM, APN settings are automatically sent by the network and saved by the phone but that didn't happen to me so I had to do it manually.
Hope this helps someone someday!

Are you on a custom ROM or stock Verizon Marshmallow firmware? There's another issue with custom ROMs even for people on Verizon, the default is Straight Talk (an MVNO), not the REAL Verizon. (Because S comes before V, alphabetically.) It's an MNVO using Verizon signal, but REAL Verizon customers will often not get messages, get very slow speeds --- and they don't know anything is wrong because nobody ever checks their APNs anymore.

Is your bootloader unlocked? Do u have TWRP?
If yes then just flash clear-modem-status.zip by @bhb27. Search it using xda search.
If No then reflash your stock modem via fastboot. There are tutorials for our device on how to do so.
