hey guys,
i have a freshly unlocked Bell GT P1000 ... i figured i'd have some fun with it so i unlocked it just now.
with my Bell sim card it works fine still, but with my Fido sim card says it's roaming next to my signal bars... any suggestions?
Hello,
I'm having the same problem with my Galaxy Tab (using 3 network in the UK). It happened after I upgraded to the Android Gingerbread version. My data connection only seems to work unless i'm in a big city (i.e. London or Cambridge) and then once i'm out I lose the connection. I'm not sure if you are experiencing the same issues, however in researching my problem I found if you try getting the correct APN Settings for the mobile service you are using, it may resolve your problem. To change the APN settings follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings
2. Wireless and networks
3. Select Access Point Settings (You can either view or add APN settings)
4. To add: Hit the menu button --> Select add APN
5. Edit Access Point settings appear --> Put in applicable APN settings for you mobile network
6. Hit menu button --> Save
7. Done.
Good luck!

I just received my Nexus One which I ordered through the Google Developer program (Brightstarcorp) and I'm not able to get it working with the Bell Mobility network for either voice or data
I have a signal bars on my N1 with a Bell Mobility SIM card but it dosen’t works.
When I slide down the notification bar it say "Bell" and try this to get it working.
I have tried all solutions and have the recommended settings on the phone (also running Froyo 2.2.1-Build number : FRG83).
- I tried my SIM to another Bell phone and it works.
- I tried another Bell SIM in my N1 and it did not work.
- I'm using an active data plan card not a prepaid card.
But it works with Rogers or Fido
I tried the following :
1.Go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators: after about 1 minute I see network the currently available Bell
I click on Bell and see a signal not working.
2. Go to the dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* this bring a hidden menu
3. tap on "Phone Information" It list the current network as Bell and also showing the IMEI and the Phone number. The IMEI and phone number are correct.
4. Hit the menu button and press "Select radio band" and click on "Automatic" .
5. Still not working I make sure radio band is set to "Automatic" then go back to the previous screen and scroll all the way to the bottom. Click under "set preferred network type" and choose through until I find one that works 1. WCDMA preffered or WCDMA only or GSM auto (PRL) it takes a few seconds from the time I click until the settings take place, just watch the signal bar at the top of the screen until it changes. Even try the "unknown" network type at the bottom of the list if the others don't work.
All the above fails.
For those of you out there who have successfully activated the Nexus One on the Bell network could you let me know which version of the phone you have.
Thanks for your suggestions.
well i am sorry to say but i dont think that the phone will work with Bell. the dev phones as far as i know are all AWS. so the only way it is going to work is if you get a rogers sim and use it on edge or a wind/moblicity sim and you can use 3G. bell does not have an edge network to back up on.
That's true. Bell/Telus has only the 3g network. The developer phone will not work. It will use edge/2g on Rogers/Fido. And will be fully supported on Wind or Mobilicity.
Nexus One with a Bell Mobility it dosen’t works!!
About Videotron?
Thanks
I finished installing Darky's 10.1 Extreme Mod onto my Samsung Galaxy S the other day, and since then I have not had any connection to a 3G network.
I live in Australia and my phone carrier is Virgin Mobile running on the Optus Network. Before I flashed over from a Voodoo Lag Fixed stock 2.2, 3G worked fine.
I have checked in the wireless and networks setting to make sure the phone is set to "Use packet data" under mobile networks (Data roaming is turned off), but it makes no difference. I have also turned packet data off and on to make sure. Network Mode is set to GSM/WCDMA (auto mode). During setup for Darky's Rom, I left the Modem to defualt settings, JQ1 or something.
I'm not sure what I have broken but I'd love some help getting 3G back. It is very limiting to what a good smart phone can do.
Thanks
which model of I9000 u have? most likely is a modem problem i installed GB in my GT-I9000T and i had to go back to froyo cuz i didnt had 3G and low network reception...i recommend you to wait for more versions of GB come out if that is your case...

Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names

So far as I can tell from the About Phone settings page, it is just a plain GT-I9000 with a Baseband of I9000XXJVO. Though I can't remember what it said before the flash.

There is nothing in the APN Settings. Should there be names?
More Info
I looked up the APN settings for Virgin Mobile Australia and entered them into the phone but when I saved the new APN it didn't appear in the list. Just gone.
I inserted the SIM Card into an unmodified Samsung Galaxy TAB in which I have used this SIM card in the past. Still can't get 3G on the TAB, and there was no settings in the APN section. Could be a problem with the SIM card?
I also used a feature on virgin mobiles website to send the APN settings to the phone but they return an error when trying to send me the settings.

Oddly enough if I just enter in the name of the network and no other details, it does save the APN correctly and works fine again. Sweet
Thanks though all.

Just as I suspected. Those are the 3G settings for your network. If you used Titanium Backup those settings are under [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage, just restore and reboot your phone and thats it.
Hi,
Two weeks ago I have bought used HTC One from AT&T. It was working ok for 2 weeks in Poland with 4G. Yesterday I rooted this phone with newest ARHD rom, and now I have only 3g data transfer and it is also slower than usual. When I was using stock rom I always had 4G or EDGE icon, and transfer was very fast (on 4G).
Anyone had this issue before?
Thanks,
Narsel.

Have you checked your preferred network type?
Dial *#*#4636#*#* to open the test menu, then tap on ''phone information'' and make sure ''preferred notwork type'' is set to ''GMS/WCDMA/LTE auto''
Also check your apn settings:
Settings ---> Mobile data ---> access point name ---> your carrier apn
Check that all values match your carrier apn. (you can found those values on your carrier website)

Thanks for the response.
I checked this and those settings are ok. Realized now that Lte Works on different frequencies in Us and Europe...
There is no chance to change this settings?
I have an annoying problem that started day one after I unlocked the N910T now being used on ATT. Stock ROM (both original and ANJ7) but rooted.
Sometimes when going out of WiFi range, I loose my mobile connection. Going into settings ==> More Networks ==> Mobile networks ==> Access Point Names, I see that "ATT Phone" is not selected. I am not sure what is causing it to be unselected. It does not do it often, perhaps once every other day. If I select "ATT Phone", everything works.
Anyone else experience this?
Is there a way through Tasker to select which APN to use?
Thank you in advance.
Hi All,
I have recently bought unlocked xperia 1 ii US version and this phone supports Verizon (cdma less) network. I use Visible provider (Visible uses Verizon network). Now when i insert Visible sim into my new phone.. It treats it as verizon sim and applies Verizon Apn settings I believe but to make Visible network work it needs visible specific APN settings. But there is no way to add APN settings manually, apn settings menu goes away when i insert visible sim but i am able to see apn settings when i insert tmobile sim, can you please help me and let me know how to manually add Visible APN settings as I dont see option to add APN when I insert Visible sim
On my phone (international model) go to Settings > Network and Internet > Mobile Network > Advanced the last option is Names of Accespoints. If you press there, you get in the APN screen. on the top there is a + sign .

Were you ever able to figure this out? I'm wanting to give Visible a try as well but I've ran into this same issue. Oddly enough, US Mobile works just fine using the standard Verizon APN
No man, it didn't work, had to switch my provider

I was able to add the APNs in by adding them while my Mint SIM card was in the phone and swapping the SIM cards back and forth while I was saving them if one wouldn't let me save due to an APN type. It was kind of a waste of time though because even after successfully getting all 4 APNs in and selecting the right one for Data, nothing happened and it didn't really matter if I was rebooting the phone or switching in and out of airplane mode. It seems that no matter what I did, the phone would not connect to the carrier which is a shame. Maybe it would work on an AOSP ROM but I don't think I could be bothered just to try a carrier on it.
