HI,
My wife and I are with Virgin Canada started with a Galaxy 550 purchased along with a 3 yr contract, everything was fine and I can use 3G data on demand (...opt to have no data plan but on demand like $ 50 / MB...LOL) . About 2 mths ago, we both upgraded to SGS bought from some guy on Kijiji , and everything has been working fine.
I started flashing roms and did all kinds of things to my SGS, and found that I can't get on 3G data which I thought it must be related to the flashings etc.
Now, I just tried using my wife's SGS which is stock 2.2 , and I still can't connect to 3G data.
(both APN settings are correct, triple checked them already)
So, my question is do I need to notify Virgin that we have changed phones and let them register our IMEI # before we can connect to 3G ?
Thanks in advance ..!
an imei registration shouldn't be necessary for data; i've used data on my Xperia X10 and popped out the sim and placed it in my SGS w/o issues.

I live in Japan, and use a Softbank SIM card from an iPhone 3G. For the past few months I have been running Cyanogenmod 5.06 with no issue, Yesterday I installed Froyo with this ROM.

Everything works great minus connecting to 3G. In japan 2G is no longer used therefore I cannot even make a phone call.
I have checked and rechecked to make sure I am using the correct APN settings.
Any ideas? Could my carrier be blocking it. May it be a problem with the ROM? I did a sum check before installing.
I really would like to use 2.2 as its much faster and the battery life is at least 2X longer.
Thanks,
Brandon
So apparently there was an issue with my automatic cell phone payment, and once my phone disconnected from the network it was not allowed back on. I payed it, and it now works.
Unable to connect to internet with Froyo on N1
Hello !
I just installed froyo on my nexus and i cannot connect to internet (3g, 2g) anymore.
I have the same settings as in previous 2.1 (i asked operator for apn, user etc.).
Every other mobile device i have works with my sim.
Everybody have this issue ? My Nexus is useless without this....
Thanks
I had CM 6.0 installed and everything was working great until a couple days ago. My phone would periodically have no service and I cannot send texts, make calls or have data. The 3G symbol shows upload and then the H symbol shows upload, but then no download bar. This problem got worse as the time went on. I also had the latest nightly installed but no luck.
I decided to wipe everything and revert back to stock. Everything was flashed back to stock, including recovery, the newest radio, etc. But my phone still doesn't work. When I turn on the phone, it just shows no service or no 3G symbol. However, when I put my roommates AT&T sim card in, it works on edge.
I am on T-Mobile, and it is really frustrating. So right now I have to use my old flip phone.
So is it my radio's problem or sim card?
hey same here my brother aswell
are you on the 2.2.1 update? I am having the same exact problem. I'm running stock rom, 2.2.1. This started 2 days ago for me. However when i switch my phone to 2G only under settings > network my phone works. I am using the 5.99 tzone are you? I am curious to see if this issue is only for 5.99 tzone 3G leechers or all users of the nexus one. a guy in seattle i spoke to has the same issue. so does my brother who also has the 5.99 tzone.
yea, im on the new 2.2.1 update too. but i have the unlimited data plan.
so i did some more testing with my friends samsung vibrant with my sim card, everything worked great. got like 2mb down.
i used his sim card in my phone, and same problem. it only shows upload and no download. but i was able to send and receive texts and make calls, but no data.
yea something is wrong for sure man just called my buddy and he has unlimited data and 3g is not working at all
internet2.voicestream.com works fine put it in apn in settings
that worked for me, but still only on 2G.
every time im on 3G, its so sporadic. and not reliable at all
is it possible for the radio hardware to die over time?
Hello,
in Uk a brought a Galaxy-S (T-mobile) and unlocked it. Now I'm back in Italy and I put my old SIM card. The Phone works, except for 3g, edge or any mobile connectivity. I think there is two options:
- The phone is still locked.
- My sim is very old (from 1999), may be no more compatible with 3g.
How do I find out which is the case and how I solve that?
Thanks guys (girls too).
No network
Hi m8
Could you please check your imei number, I did exactly the same.
I bought my sgs on firmware 2.1 & unlocked it via free unlock tool, I then messed with some new firmwares. Recently tried to sell my phone as unlocked but when buyer put their sim in, It shows a signal but no data network connection.
After messing around with different sims i did a check & noticed my firmware is some stupid 04999????
Regards
Mark
What does that mean?? Is it related to IMEI somehow?? What should I check about it? How do I fix that? I've 2.2 by the way
Hi everyone,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (16gb) in Singapore and was using it fine on Singtel's network (signed a contract with them). Now I have moved back to Canada and brought my phone with me assuming that all would be ok to use it with the network here. However I'm having big problems with this one network I just signed up with (Virgin Mobile).
85% of the time I cannot connect to it: voice calls and SMSing won't work nor will the data work on it, the only thing it says is "Emergency calls only". Then at other times everything will seem to connect and work fine - I can make calls and use data.
Virgin Mobile will not support me much because they're thinking it's the phone's problem, if I use the phone they gave me (a lower-end model) it works fine.
Here are some details of my phone:
Firmware version
2 2
Baseband version
I9000DXJPA
Kernel version
2 6 32 9
root (at) SE-S604 #1
Build number
FROYO DXJPA
If I check out the status, it usually says this:
Network
Unknown (switches to VIRGIN when it does work)
Mobile network type
UMTS (switches between that and HSDPA and GPRS)
Service state
Out of service
Mobile network state
Disconnected (switches to connected when working, and even when it's not working sometimes)
I have Network mode set to auto mode (GSM/WCDMA). I've tried to switch it to GSM only but that didn't seem to change anything.
I'm wondering if there's some kind of configuration settings I still need to do with the phone? I'm also wondering if it is the network I'm with right now? Virgin Mobile isn't one of the bigger telcom companies here and I'm thinking that if I switch to one of the bigger telcoms, will it work better?
Something else to add - before I signed up with Virgin I was using my phone with a pre-paid service (called Chatr) for voice only and it was working fine.
I'm sure this phone can support the GSM frequencies here.. can't it?
I also still have the Singtel customizations on the phone. Will it help if I remove it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

You can always try flashing a different MODEM (Radio) .. And you might as well upgrade to a 2.2.1 firmware, if not GB.
hmm.. do you know where I can learn how to flash my phone to a different (and more appropriate!) modem? also where to find an update to the firmware?

Just search in these forums. It's all there. You can easily flash a new radio package using ODIN. Better yet, try one of the custom ROMs from the I9000 Android Development section.
Hi im new to the forum my question is my brother just give his glfex phone he was with Rogers (brand) and i unlock the phone with (unlock river.com site it cost me 13$ to convert it with Fido brand. So I put my old sim card in it of my old xperia sp and every thing seems to work exept my network data ... so no internet at all exept wi-fi, i check every thing in the phone the only thing i didn't do is call Fido thank you all
You won't get data unless you set up your network APN, Settings - Networks - Tethering & Networks - Mobile Networks.
