Hope Someone can help me and its a sinple fix
Me and the family have just moved to Western Australia from the UK
I was on Vodafone in the UK and purchased a Vodaphone sim in Oz
When putting it in the phone all works well (sms and calls) but no internet
I bought the same sim for my wifes phone (HTC Desire Z) and she gets sms, calls ad internet
I thought maybe its the sim but i swapped them over and the same thing, she has everything on my sim and i only have sms and calls on her sim
Ive tried the turning on mobile data in the settings and that did nothing
Ive rebooted so many times i cant remember how many
Im thinking it maybe time to get a new phone and get rid of the 2X
Hope someone can help

This should be easy to fix. You need to create an APN for your network. Usually this can be done by visiting your providers home-page, look for something resembling "Internet and MMS-settings" and follow the instructions. Some providers send the settings directly to your phone via SMS, some install them via 3rd party tools, some require them to be entered manually. This should be all you need to do.
Check your APN settings

Hi,
I have an Orange branded Samsung Galaxy S that is being used on the Vodafone network. This all works find except for Data. The button from the drop down menu can't even be pressed/hilighted and 3G never shows on the status bar. We've tried putting an Orange sim in and data works fine with that but not with the Voda one.
Is this a conflict between the Orange Phone and Voda network and do I need to (or can I even) flash a Vodafone stock ROM in place of the Orange one?
Sorry if this has been asked before but I've searched and can't find an answer. Thanks for any help.
Either call up Vodaphone and ask them to send your APN settings or search their website or the net. Theses are the settings that tell the phone where to link to and which network you belong. The phone is probably trying to link to the Orange data network but obviously being rejected.
Thanks but we have tried that and it's all set up for Vodafone. That's why I couldn't understand that the orange sim connected straight away.

Hmm.. Have you asked if Vodafone has activated your data or de-activated it...
Also try going to the settings menu and make sure 3g data is enabled, and if it is maybe also check data roaming.
Lastly yes you should be able to flash a Vodafone stock rom on the phone as all it provides is the Vodafone bloatware. All the specs are the same in the device so there shouldn't be a conflict.
Thanks, I'll contact Vodafone again. Although I'm not holding out much hope, they seem to have as much technical knowledge as a 3 year old. The last one told me I would have to switch WiFi off before it would switch to 3g when out of range.
Thanks for your help

Hello.
Having problems with my I8190N. About 2-3 days a go it suddenly lost ability to connect into internet. I can switch data connection on or off, it doesnt make any difference. I have tried to reflash various ROMs and it's all the same, no internet. I get the usual signal bars but no H/G/E marks.
It did not happen after flashing, had CM11 on it for days and I could connect Internet just fine. No carrier limitations either, I can make calls out and same SIM in my old phone can go to internet.
Should I flash the stock ROM/bootloader back and RMA it? Or is there something else I can do? (perhaps known issue and solvable on my own)
Phone is fairly new, bought it in August as brand new.
i suppose APN settings are correct?
you can try to flash another baseband to try with it, what is yours current baseband?
basebands you can find here for N version, XXAMJ ist newest and working for me...
I had the same problem a couple of days ago. It turns out that my problem was the simcard, have you tried to put another simcard in your phone and see if it works?
I have this problem, same with two phones and two SIM cards, both phones are ZTE, both problem SIM cards are on Vodafone, both phones have no problem connecting to data via t mobile sim? This leads me to believe that voda data does not work on zte phones, apn details are correct. Does anyone knowa fix?
finally sorted it........... f'd around with a few different apn's and even phoned up talktalk(same as vodafone network) who confirmed I had the right settings which I hadnt!
Found the correct settings on the geeksquad website. seems i didnt need to bother filling out some of the fields and then wham internet connection straight away!

Two days ago, out of a sudden my phone stopped connecting to the carrier (Rogers, Canada). I can't call, send text, or use data at all. When I go into Access Point Names, my Xperia Z shows the lterogers.apn installed. If I go into Service Providers I can see a list of Canadian networks, I've tried connecting to the LTE, 3G, and 2G networks of Rogers to no avail. Also, I tried my SIM in a Nexus 5 and it works, I also went to the company and there are no issues with my account at all. Any advice on how to solve this?
same problem

Hey guys
I'm having the exact same problem! Haver only had the phone a month - previous xperia z replaced due to sudden death - and then this morning I lost my mobile data connection, closely followed by my entire reception. I've repaired/reset the phone multiple times, all per Sony's instructions without any luck. Hoping someone around here has a fix for me!!! At the moment just bashing my head against the wall with this phone and its issues!

Have you solved the problem ? I have same issue , after many others...pls help
Hello everyone,
I have just recently unlocked my phone because I'm currently away for business in China. However, when i got here and got a new simcard with the local mobile stores my phone cant connect to the networks at all. my phone is rooted and i am quiet a beginner regarding cellphones and what not. any help at all is greatly appreciated
Go to Settings / Mobile / Preferred Network Type.. choose different settings? Maybe you are trying to connect to a frequency that is not offered in China... or click "Choose Network Operator"
yep i did that, theres a choice of three networks, all three for China, two is GSM and one is UTMS, i tried connecting to any of the three and was not successful. automatic select network was also not successful. I bought my phone with Wind
Try inserting that sim card in another phone.Couple months ago i just lost signal with my phone was busting hed for 2 hours try to fix it and eventualy i realized my sim card was dead.
thanks for that, i have my old wind simcard and that works fine I dont think its the simcard's fault because i can still choose to select a network without the simcard in my phone, which still doesnt work.. pretty frustrating.
I was reading something about a HTC phone having the same problem and they solved it using something called a superCID or something like that. Does that ring a bell for anyone?

So you bought phone from Wind, wind simcard works. You put another simcard and it doesn't work?
Your phone is locked to wind. So it won't accept any other simcard aside from wind simcard.
So I recently got a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4. As we know, it's unlocked 100% without any special root methods or entering in codes into the dial pad. With that being said, I popped in an LTE Straight Talk SIM card, transferred my old number to the new SIM and configured the APN and for a long while it was working fine with no issues. Then out of the blue, I had no data. It absolutely quit without warning. I go to check the APN settings I had previously and they were gone. I had redone everything and saved the settings. However, when I go back out a menu, no Straight Talk APN. I did the same thing again....and once again no APN settings. Just the default T-Mobile LTE APN.
So I'm at a loss. It was working fine previously and now I cannot set APN settings. I have reset the phone more than once (reluctantly). Any thoughts? Any help would be appreciated since I'm paying those bastards $45 and some change a month for service I cannot get. Also as a note, I can receive and send text messages with no problem. Calling number results in "you are not registered on a network," but I know the fix for that.

Try setting the APN with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tracfone.straighttalk.stdatasettings
Sounds like your phone got black listed. Did you buy it from Tmobile? If you bought it from some one else it was either a stolen phone or the previous own stopped paying for it.

I had bought the phone from a local gas station owner (who had 2 other T-Mobile phones with him). It was working while he showed me the phone (he had gotten several text message and Facebook updates). He then reset it. I bought a Straight Talk SIM kit and went to work. I had working data until the next day. I had played around with some more internal settings, like updating the touch sensitivity and more. Everything was working until I refreshed the Wi-Fi antennae. Don't think that would have anything to do with the 4G/LTE radios or regular antennas. Overall, it was working, so I don't see how it could just magically stop.

If he bought the phone on a lease from T-MOBILE and never fully paid it off T-Mobile would black list it. Or if he sold you a lost\stolen phone.
You can contact T-Mobile or check the IMEI on one of those checker sights to see if it has been blacklisted.

You can check to see if you're blacklisted by visiting the T-Mobile website and using their IMEI checker. If you're blacklisted you would not be able to place calls. I will attach sample AT&T APN that works for me. I'm on Cricket and not StraightTalk but it may work for you.
For all who helped out on this post, THANK YOU! I figured what my issue was. SIM card is fine and the data settings work as long I don't configure the MCC & MNC settings. Changing the MNC from 260 to 410 is what caused my saved APN to disappear. Not sure why that happens, but if any of you have an idea of why, direct me to the thread that explains this or if you know, quote this reply. And another thing, I am able to send texts and make calls, but due to the location I was in, texts sent at half the speed of smell and making a call was impossible due the phone claiming I was "not on a registered network" even though ST is a network (duh). I have no service issues on my Note 3 N900A when I that. Anyone think it could be because AT&T's device antennas differ from that of a T-Mobile Note 4? Personally, I don't think they would since they are both GSM and operate on the same bands (I would think), even though the Note 4 has "newer" technology. Not really worried about data, texts or calls since I have Wi-Fi in said location.
Again, thanks to those that helped me out. And, again, if anyone has any ideas to the information said above, by all means give your say or direct me to where there is substantial info.
