[Q] unable to get data connection - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

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!

[Q] Need help connecting to data!

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?

No internet connection on my Galaxy S

Since yesterday the weirdest thing happens to my phone. For a couple of months I've been using MIUI 2.3.7c and nothing like this has happened. The mobile connection icon in the status bar has disappeared, as if there is no 3G signal. I check the APN, and it is all correct (my phone has been working normally until yesterday).
I flashed MIUI again and it was back to normal for a couple of hours, and then again, no connection. Flashed MIUI again and it was the same. Flashed Gingerbread 2.3.4 with Odin and the same.
What can it be?
Have you tried to do a full wipe/factory reset, clearing the cache and fixing permissions through CWM?
Yes, I did all that and nothing.
is it a signal problem or data connection problem?

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

[Q] Why internet is not working

Hi,
I have CM9 nightly installed on my SGS and it works nicely but it drains battery and internet does not work.
It worked good about 3-4 weeks but suddenly the signal strength bar (or whatever it's called) went to grey (it's normally blue) and if i try to use something what uses internet, it doesn't load anything.
Do you have the latest CM9 version?
Grey signal means you have a weak signal or does not have signal at all. Can you still send and receive SMS?
Yes i can make calls and receive sms. Signal bar is almost full. It would be almost black if have no signal.
But now it's light grey.
Did you try testing it with other phone? Just to prove that it is not your network provider's problem.

Not unless things start to force close. If they do that then you need to factory reset.
Also check your efs folder. It is possible that the data there has been scrubbed. If that's the case Odin a stock firmware with wipe efs ticked.
After that you can return to CM9.

XT1925-4 wifi problem please help

Hello guys im new here and i tried lot of things to repair my wfi problem.
So its my mom phone and one day she called me about selfrestart phone in night and there was image of bootloader and startup failed.
So after classic factory reset and etc my wifi still not working. The problem is i cant connect to any wifi. I can scan it but wont connect just say disabled or saved but not connection.
After this i tried flash stockroom succesfully after 2 days of hard work So i flash stock room but the problem is still there so im not sure what can i do anymore. If i can try flash some newer rom or custom rom or its just hardware failure? has anyone have problem like this? All others things work normal like data connections etc. Sorry for my english
1. update so i flashed another lineage room just in case and still not working.
2. i notice in system information that wifi mac adress is 0d:00:00:00:00:00 so can be hardware failure probably.
3. Hotspot wifi is working so i can connect from another mobile to the broken wifi mobile
