Hi guys,
My wife has a SGS, with which she is really pleased. Lately, 2 things happened. Firstly, I installed the Simplicity X-mas edition - it runs perfectly and is blazing fast.
Secondly, the company she works for switched to another operator. After this happened, all of a sudden she cannot sync her apps or even visit Android Market on the 3G network. It works fine on WiFi, but not on 3G.
She suspects it's because the company she works for has put a firewall on Android phones, which is a likely cause of the problem.
What I would know now is:
1: Have you heard of this issue before?
2: Is there a fix for the issue, given it's an operator policy (I'm thinking running everything through a proxy server etc, but how to do that)?
All pieces of advice are most welcome - thanks guys
Sounds like wrong APN settings... Not a firewall.

i agree, try manually going through deleting all the existing APN's and adding her new network APN, if that doesnt work, or before doing that see if she can access websites while on data, if she can its clearly not an APN problem as she wouldnt be able to access the internet at all.
if that doesnt work all i can suggest is a re-flash of the ROM, also you might want to consider updating to ICS simplicity xmas was JVU i believe? get with the times man

bt audio works for calls.
Yea I know it is but not for audio routing so you can't listen to music through it
Video playback is also still not working.
I'm running the super eclair from incubus
Well the camera on mine still isn't working after the update. It loads but when i take a picture it crashes.
I'm very new to this so I'm trying to learn as I go.
but also I'm not receiving text for some reason, everything else seems to be working fairly well.

Text messaging is a known issue with super eclair. It works on other builds.
cool now that the camera is working does everyone have MMS setup to send?

its always going to say my touch 3G, thats just what he has the build set to recognize the phone as, it shouldn't cause any problems
i have no clue what an MMI code is so im not sure
This is day two of going back to this phone and I dont have any data connection. In two more days according to Sprint I should have 100 percent access to whats on my account. I hope I have data connection soon. If I dont have it back by then I will be posting it here. I miss my data connection!

what happened there, was your Data working before you flashed to android?
I have the Vogue and the Titan. I switched from my Vogue to the Titan due to some minor issues and now my Titan is doing the same thing. Before switching back to my Vogue I flashed the rom with the Android, liked it alot and then called up sprint and did a switch back to my newly improved Vogue. According to the sprint rep it will take upto 4 days for all provisioning to be complete. As of right now I have it all working except for the data. My phone doesnt even show a data connection and when it tries to access something via internet it says "You don't have a network connection. Ths could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. Please try again when you are connected. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Ohh yah, *2 and *4 doesnt work. I was going to call them today to see if they could speed things up but cant call them this way.

yea so i have an easy fix to your problem, flash back to windows mobile once its back an loaded access the internet, it should do some sort of dialing #777 thing then flash back to android after IE loads any sort of web page.
you should be perfectly provisioned right now the max it usually takes is like 24 hours, although i do still have nightmares from my days as a service tech provisioning those sprint Direct Connect phones
but yea so if you were in android before you activated the phone thats why you dont have data
Thank you. I relized that I would probable needed to do this but I didnt want to if there was a easier way to resolve this issue. I recall that I needed to do this when I went for stock rom to nfs 6.5 and had no internet as well. I then needed to load the 6.3 rom and then back to 6.5. This time I reverted to the 6.3 nfs rom and straight to this one.
okay so I am super new to this...i have a sprint vogue and i am running the zen-hero files from my sd card...I cannot get my caller id to work to save my life...it shows just numbers when someone calls me please help...
hi, I bought a second hand tattoo last month, the previous owner installed azusa 1.03 on it but wifi didn't work at all (I was able to switch on the wifi) So I flashed with the last Azusa ROM (1.04).
first the wireless worked fine, but, I think after a reboot, the phone wasn't able to get IP address on every AP I tried. however I can connect a wireless network if I set a static IP on the phone...
any idea to fix this, please?
(sorry if it's a problem to post it a second time, but I don't know if the problem come from the ROM or not...)
Well, I have the same problem with the wifi. It sucks cause this rom is really fast and non-functional wifi is the only deal beaker... Try to contact the developer Coburn and ask him. If you reach him, tell him that I already posted a log of the problem on the project's site.

Any news on this? I really like the ROM but not having wi-fi completely kills it =\
None so far... And I doubt that there ever will be a fix for the issue. I abandoned this Rom.
hi, I didn't find a real solution for my problem... I just installed an app named "wifi static" and I set the few network config I use usually, it works, but I can't connect to any free hotspot easily.
Hi all,
I've had SGS for over 8 months now on O2 Contract, UK. Currently running on Darkys Rom. Everything was great until yesterday morning the mobile internet has suddenly stopped working!
I've tried everything; Re-setting the correct APN manually, Switch on/off, Taking battery out. Called O2 & and tried to reset with their assistant but none of it worked. The network seems to be up and running fine on their side.
The symtoms are; I do have the 3G icon on the bar (Displaying 'H'), since I usually get a good strong signal in my area. The problem is, when I start the browser, the google.co.uk webpage works ok-ish. But for any other sites, doesn't work. Can't access email or facebook or anyother internet related apps. All connections fail.
I have other O2-Simcard. And when I try to use internet on my SGS, the same problem occurs. (Websites load less than half and everything stops) The sim cards work fine in my other phone.
Could this be a hardware problem?
I didn't drop or anything, I've been taking a real good care
Somebody please, please help!, Please.
You say Google works therefore internet works .Errors are possibly elsewhere in settings .
Worth doing a factory reset after backing up data to see if that clears the problem .
As its yet another Darky rom problem i suggest asking Darky if above fails .
Hardware probably not blame the rom or settings first .
You will have to remove the rom if you need to make a warranty claim .
jje
I agree with JJ, this sounds like a ROM/Settings problem. If you can get Google, then your hardware is fine. An Antenna failure is usually all or nothing.
Maybe check in Settings/Wireless and Network/Wireless Network Settings/Network Mode and make sure it is still in Auto mode, or switch to 3G only?
As a last resort, flash to a stock rom and see if the problem goes away.
Thanks, guys! JJEgan & rschenck.
Network mode has always been Auto mode & I tried all options but no luck..
The thing is, the 3g internet has always worked fine with Darky Rom. It's just that this happned all of sudden.
I guess I'll try factory reset first, if it doesn't work, I'll then flash to stock rom.. Glad to hear it probably won't be the antenna failure.
I'll keep posted after I try!
Hi guys, I'm still at work so haven't had a chance to do anything.
But magically! I've just put my other (PAYG) O2 simcard and the internet now works! However, still not as good as before. (Slightly laggy)
I was using Darkys 9.3 when the internet stopped working properly, so I upgraded to 9.5 hoping that it would fix the problem, but no help.
Since that it's working now. It seems internet connections is slower than when I had 9.3. Well, at least it works now. (Kind of)
Hey all,
since a couple of days I have a problem with my wifi, it keeps switching on and off (I can see the checkbox activating and deactivating, every couple of seconds, at the moment it is unchecked and says "error")
as I said, the wifi worked before
I am running cyanogen 7 (http://android.doshaska.net/cm7) on Milestone
- But I have also tried MIUI, with the same problem
does issue sound familiar to anyone?
Maybe it is an app which force turns my wifi on/off, is there any way to check which one it is (as far as I know I don't have an of them, eg juice defender, tasker installed)
Many thanks
Have you tried other WiFi networks? Because the same error being reproduced across two different ROMs seems a little unlikely.
Well, the problem is that my wifi doesn't stay on long enough (just a couple of seconds) to scan/connect to any network.

So it isn't a problem connecting to a network, it's a problem of the wifi not even being able to turn on?
Well "technically" it does turn on, but it switches off immediately

wow, i just logged in to search for this issue myself. I have that same issue across multiple roms also. The one that did work was the Telus Lite Eclair. I liked that one, but of course I wanted to check out others. Each one was the same as you describe. Wifi scans, disconnects, scans, in a loop.
I have done searches on google for wifi disconnect loop android, and seen some stuff about kernals and stuff that is over my head at the moment. If some one has an idea on how to get it working that would be great.
I wipe before any install, I've went back to stock and it works, everytime I went to the Telus Lite one it also always worked. I dont know if theres a clue there or not?
Im on an Telus milestone in Canada, on Telus network if that makes a difference.
And since I think this is my first real post, Thanks for the work guys.
Not sure if this would work, but this is the first result that popped up: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/75782-wifi-disconnect-loop-cm6-final.html
EDIT: People are saying that Hidden SSIDs and MAC filtering can cause problems when trying to connect to the WiFi network. Try forgetting the network, making the network visible(protected if you wish) and reboot the phone and try again.
ok, time for a stupid question...
where do I find suitable kernels?
I can't find anything about this (roms and kernel tweaking is a is pretty well documented though)

As far as I know, you won't be able to change the kernel on the Milestone at all, due to the locked bootloader.

a little update, I checked my settings on my router and there was nothing really out of place. For poops and giggles I installed Shawdowmod, and it works with out issue with my wifi. Go figure. Anyway, think im keeping it.
Thanks for the help.
hmmm, good to hear you figured it out.
I just went back to stock and guess what? still nothing
maybe I'll try that rom and see
Hi,
let me thank you for all the help you may give me.
The problem is i get stuck on obtaining ip address or the cell doesn't even try to connect automatically so i have to manually start the wifi connection to the network after turning on wifi.
The problem of my SGS not connecting automatically is rare, the first is not, it's actually quite often.
I looked through all the guides and sugestions but i couldn't find any permanent solution for this problem.
Note: I've used the AllShare app but sometimes even that doesn't work.
Thank you for all help
The same problem kept happening with me. Some of the fixes which I tried were
Change channel on router - didnt work for me
Use the allshare app first - worked
Set up a static ip in advanced settings - almost always worked
But I have found that I didnt have this problem with other routers, only mine, maybe because of a power problem with the router.
Many of baffling errors are usually caused by bad input power to devices.
Hope it helps
Thanks for the reply, the problem is that i use it alot on my university, where i can't do any changes to their router (or use static IP).
Also the AllShare app is indeed a fix, but only if used every time i think. I'll do some more testing, this problem is really annoying and that's a shame because it complicates the use of most of the smartphone capabilities.
So if anyone else as another solution i would be glad to hear it.
Also i'm on stock rom installed by my operator Vodafone (had the same problem on JPY).
Edit: After a very quick test, it seems that using Allshare once does work, but i had the impression that sometimes it would be needed more than once (even without rebooting). TY for the tip.
Update:
After some more tests i came to the conclusion that at home i need to use AllShare every time i want to connect to my network.
This seems to be a problem affecting several users of SGS, does anyone know the answer to this problem? Or at least an app that minimizes it?
It's quite bad and very frustrating. Thanks, for any and all help.
I had the same problem with stock Android 2.2.1 on 3 phones all Galaxy S. Dropping the packages on voip calling, internet was slow most of the time. I use a linksys wrt54g with dd-wrt, I never had problems with any other devices.
My problem was solved when I installed GingerReal. Also on Miui I didn't had any problems with the wifi connection.
Maybe is just the stock driver incompatibility with some devices.
Thanks for the reply,
I've only had bad experiences with flashing, last time i did everytime right and Odin just hanged, i almost had a serious problem in my hands.
Since this is probably the first and last good phone i'll ever have, i would really like not to kill it (also some people in my family would be very disappointed, it was a gift).
So any workaround? Sorry i'm so insistent but i think that are a lot more people interested in this. TY.
