[Q] Need help connecting to data! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im new to flashing roms, so bare with me. I flashed my first rom last week, using Andromeda3 and Ursa Minor #2 kernel, everything worked great except, i couldnt connect to 3G/H, even though it showed up on notification bar, tried looking for answers, i ended up flashing different modems to no avail. So, i flashed back to stock eclair, used kies mini to upgrade to Froyo 2.2 UCKB1, Data worked. I then flashed UCKB2 rom, data didnt worked) i tried wiping cache and all that, still no data connection, btw, wfi worked. So i flashed back to UCKB1, again, everything worked perfectly. The other day, i flashed Fusion XI and GB bootloaders, i must say i like this rom very much, but again still couldnt connect to 3G/H, everything else worked, although i havent tested the GPS yet, i am getting amazing DL/UL speeds through wifi. Anyway, i searched XDA for any answers i could find and pretty much tried them all, seems like only KB1 3G will work, but any custom rom out there, data hasnt worked even though i see it in notification area, i'd use market and browser, but would say could not connect. Am i doing something wrong/ missing a step?? I really like Fusion XI and dont want to flash back to stock. Any help would be appreciated.
Didnt know where else to post this, seems like other people dont have the data connection issue :/

That's weird.
Try flashing the kb1 modem on fusion.

I did try flashing the KB1 modem, but that too, didnt work. it only works if i go back to stock KB1 for some reason.

where do you live? what Carrier are you with?
have you checked your APN settings?
fill in your location and carrier/ device info in your signature/ xda user information.

I Live in Southeastern Pennsylvania. And currently have AT&T as my carrier. I tried APN settings, but not sure what to set it too, i have used APN Manager from the Market.

Try resetting ur apn settings to default. Then reboot.

how do u reset apn settings?

Settings, wireless and networks, mobile networks, access point names. Now hit the menu key and reset default apn well be on the bottom left...

Ok, tried that, still a no go connecting to data. I just flashed stock 2.1 then 2.2 update through Kies mini, i no longer have data connection even on official stock roms could this be a hardware issue??? gps sucks. ran a gps test using the app from market. other than that, everything else is working. what did i do wrong?

Error on my froyo flash !!! (GETTING CLOSER to issue)

Hey guys,
i flashed my cappy from cog to the froyo but data and voice didnt seem to work, flashed back to stock then did a master clear and reflashed to froyo and same issue no data or voice, it shows the airplane mode although the setting says its off...
any suggestions?
EDIT: com.android.phone seems to be the problem, i cant access it using the *#... etc method...
how can i fix this?
I would try doing a master clear, then one-clicking. Also, some others said that simply rebooting may help. Also, is applicable, dont restore "system apps and data" from titanium backup, only "missing apps plus data" hope this helps
nope didnt work, i didnt even restore anything yet, its just weird because everything works flawless except voice and data....any help is appreciated
Settings
Wireless and Network
Mobile Networks
Access Point Names (is it empty? is there an entry but it doesnt have a green dot next to it?)
Menu button
Reset to Default
OR
if default does not work, try adding a NEW APN. you will find settings around the forums for APN
Go to settings and do a reset to factory in there. That fixes a similar error for me.

1.) Master Clear with current ROM
2.) Flash to stock JF6 using ODIN
3.) UPDATE TO JH7 using KIES MINI (I think this may fix the airplane mode issue)
4.) Flash to Froyo using ODIN'
This is exactly what I would do, let me know how it works for you buddy!
nope, i cant even access mobile networks it gives me an error "check simcard if its inserted" but it is, and when i flash back to jm or jh it works fine...

So only the update to JI6 (Froyo) causes the issue?
Maybe the link you downloaded from was corrupt? There was about 20 links last night haha.
yea only the ji6, cant be corrupt because i downloaded the orginal (was one of the first to download it) and a mirrored one.... still something fishy, be in mind i did have cog with voodoo and i never disabled it the lag fix... but im guessing the whole rom wouldnt work if that was the issue correct?
VooDoo would have been cleared when you did Master Clear, I believe.
Maybe try the Kies Mini update to JH7 and THEN flash the Froyo.

just do a simple re-boot......it looses the baseband after froyo update...a simple re-boot gets the baseband back.....try it!

..If this fixes it I will be shocked haha.
That's the FIRST thing I do if I run into any problems on android
im trying the kies jh7 then flash method, but i did reboot several times and baseband never came back....should it be unplugged to pc or plugged?
Let me know how the Kies JH7 and then Flash method works for you; I think it SHOULD work because I was on stock JH7 when I flashed to Froyo JI6 and I have had nothing but a great experience since!
sorry guys neither method worked, im guessing its a simple stupid fix...... its getting frustrating ...........
I was reading other posts where guys were having that issue with phones that were not on att network. This seems to lock you onto att and no other network will work. At least that was the opinion of the other posts.
FOUND THE PROBLEM BUT CANT SOLVE IT !!!!
com.android.phone ---> is corrupted, i tried going into it and it doesnt let me giving me a FC..
any one got an dea how to resolve it?
Start from scratch my friend:
1.) Re-Flash Stock ODIN JF6 and then update to JH7 using Kies Mini
2.) REDOWNLOAD Froyo JI6 using the same link I did:
http://www.ponack.net/designgears/I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears.exe
3.) Before Flashing JI6 please do a master clear, factory data reset and FORMAT all your SD cards
Then that should solve any problems you have buddy!
just so i know im doing it right... can you tell me how to do a master clear please !!
To do a master clear, enable usb debugging on your captivate, go to the homescreen, open odin, plug in your device. Once it is recognized press master clear from the homescreen. It will clear it and reboot your device

wifi stopped working i believe right after i flashed to the latest cyanogen mod, or shortly after. Today i flashed back to rogers stock froyo and still wifi does not work. Wtf is going on, did my router block access to it after cyanogen was installed or something?

Try some troubleshooting first.
Reset your Access Point/Router, or try a different router/ap. Flash back to 100% stock and do a "master clear".
I also find it useful to clear out the /efs partition after returning to Samsung ROMs after using CyanogenMod. Of course ONLY do this after you have a tested and safely stored a backup of your current "nv_data.bin" file. You have been warned.
Take out your battery and just let your phone chill for a few hours. That sometimes helps too.
Anyway, if after a complete flash to stock and master clear, and some troubleshooting with different access points you still get no WiFi signal, something may be wrong with your hardware...
From there you might either need to send it into a Samsung service center, or find a very technically minded XDA member to help you further. Good luck!

[Q] Wifi Can't Connect To Networks It Can See

Hey folks. I'm running on a stock UXKH2, flashed through Odin. I'm not rooted because it seemed like a lot of doing, but everything else is working perfectly except for my wifi.
I'm able to see networks but I can't connect to them. I've tried a few open networks as well as a few secured ones, including my home network. All the security was checked and double checked and I still can't seem to get a lock. I'm wondering if I should be flashing a custom modem?
Quite interesting post actually..I would love to see how people response to this..
no such thing as a custom modem, they're all stock modems just different releases...
have you tried forgetting networks turning off wifi, clearing cache and dalvik cache and trying to connect again?
you may have to reflash, i posted a zip in the kj2 thread for rooting, you just flash boog's kernel with odin and then flash that zip i posted in cwm. not all that difficult. so that you can backup your stuff before you reflash and restore after..
I know some of these older GB ROMs had wifi issues. I'm more familiar with the US distros but I'm sure the same was /is true for Rogers' too.
I have this issue all the time. One day the phone connects to the access point with no problems. The next day it refuses to connect and "disables" the connection. The only thing that seems to fix it is reflashing. And that's such a pain!

[Q] unable to get data connection

Hi guys,
I'm being annoyed by my SGS about his data connection. Hope someone could help me!
Few days ago I flashed MIUI Mintberry 2.1.20 and everything was working like a charm, but this morning data connection switch failed several times.
I've tried to wipe everything, re-flash Mintberry and even to flash JVU stock with Odin, but I still can't switch on my data connection.
I can't even see any icon on the status bar.
Any idea? Is my phone broken?

Hmm this is strange, so you turned data on but theres no symbol, right? Have you tried installing another kernel (maybe also applying the Kernel Cleaning Script)?
I' ve tried everything with Odin, and at the moment I have a beautiful black screen of death.
Odin cannot recognize my phone... I'm very frustrated
EDIT: Upgrading Kies'drivers, I managed to connect the phone with Odin again, so I've flashed the lastest official stock firmware to check my antennas. In the worst case, I'll be able to go to the shop for assistance without problems.
Have u tried typin ur apn maually?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Sounds like a settings issue. Never heard of anyone have this problem before - I've flashed every version of mintberry including betas.
I just had this issue
I just had this and figured out what is wrong, its a easy fix too! Just go to settings and wireless and change the access point for your mobile connection. I had 2 access points and just switched it to the other one and my data started working again!
Hope I could help
Hi guys! thank you for all these answers!
I've tried to set APN manually, to change custom ROM and custom kernels and coming back to stock too, but still no data connection icon (neither data connection itself).
At the moment, I'm on JVO, the latest official italian firmware, everything is fine but 3g data connection.
Other ideas? Shall i need of Samsung customer service (I hope no!)?
Solved...
MIUI default settings fault: SMS notification has ran out my money and my provider has blocked 3g connection.
My phone is safe!

Networks detected but will not register

So I had some escapades today, I had my SGS running jellybean, then I tried to change the screen density and bang, bootloop. I panicked and after some odin fiddling managed to get it booting Darky using odin. I was in a room with no signal at the time so I thought nothing of not having any signal, even so I then went ahead and used recovery to reinstall my Jellybean rom since that's a bit nicer than the 2.3 Darky.
Long and the short of it is, I can search for networks in my options and it will find them, but when I tell it to connect to one it says "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later"
I have tried later and surprise surprise it didn't work. I have tried installing a different radio, clearing the dvalik cache and fixing permissions as well as a few other things. Please can anyone suggest something, this seems to be a very uncommon scenario and it's stressing me out that I can't find any solutions.

Yeah I've checked them and unfortunately they all seem to be in order still, though there are a lot more settings than any website offers things to put in them
same problem
i am having this same problem on all cyanogenmod 7,9,10. i have tried many radio and modem flashes. i can scan and see networks, but i can never connect to them.
have you made any progress?
Problem is EFS folder which tends to do with IMEI.
To fix it you need to copy the backup EFS folder from your SDCARD to the root of your device. (/)
If you don't have a backup you'll have to ODIN back to stock and re-root....etcetera

thx
thank you for the response. I put it back to stock lastnight before bed so i will give this a try.
i have the gti9000m from bell in canada. I updated it through kies to 2.3.3 gingerbread and it all went badly. It would boot up and load to the os be on for a bit then reset. It turned out to be wifi problem, running it on airplane mode stopped it from rebooting. Then if i tried to turn on wifi it would quickly reboot.
So then i tired all the cyanogenmods, which worked it stopped rebooting all the time. however the wifi would connect and work for about a minute then it would drop. doing the
1.turnOn gps
2.turnOn wifi
3. turnOff gps
this would let the wifi work again for about a minute. I tried all the wifi fixer apk, and a bunch of wifi.zip mods, and then ping the router gateway constantly, none solved this problem. Very annoying because i need the wifi working for develpoment of apps. I have spent a great many hours on this problem. lots of people seam to have this problem but no solutions have wokred for me.
So, my questions are....
1. does your wifi work?
2. how the heck do i get mine to work?
back to stock
After going back to stock then upgrading connecting to network operators is fine.
wifi is still broken though
