Hi All,
Here's my roaming dilemma. There's an R beside the signal frequency and it won't go away.
Relevant information;
I have recently switched from CM7 to CM9 for the captivate. i'm using the latest version (14). from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760
I'm on a Canadian network with a company called Fido, which is owned by Rogers. My APN is set to "Fido Default" and my network is Rogers. this would NOT be roaming since it's the same company.
i ran the phone info using *#*#4636#*#* and it says "Roaming: Roaming" essentially the roaming is ON.
After this i downgraded back to CM7 and tried running the same options. the result was identical. APN is "Fido Default", network is Rogers BUT in phone info it says "Roaming: not Roaming". Essential the roaming is OFF, which is correct, there was never an "R" beside the signal strength in CM7.
Can anybody please help me, i'm not sure if there's a setting that i'm missing or dont know about. or this could possibly be just a bug with CM9.
Since i'm new to this forum i don't have my min 10 posts to post in the development side so i've had to post here.
If there's any more details that you need me to check to give you the relevant info plz let me know and i will get hat asap.
thx

I wonder if it is just a quirk in how it recognizes the network. I have an AT&T Microcell and, while it shows my carrier as "Microcell" on Samsung-based ROMs, it just shows "AT&T" on CM7 and CM9. Not the same issue, of course, but there is apparently some control in the ROM or kernel on how networks are displayed. If you don't get any hits here, report it in the CM9 forum once you have enough posts and see if anyone has any ideas.
well my phone is originally AT&T, and when it turn on the AT&T logo and everything is still there. so it could be still a weird way it recognizes it.
fixed. figured out all i needed was a new modem.

Care to share which modem you found that works with CM9 and the ATT Microcell?
Hi,
I have just updated my Note from stock gingerbread to the official UK ICS 4.04 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 using Odin.
The phone is now running XXLRK (kernel and baseband) - it's not rooted at this time.
Everything is working fine except that I have no mobile data connection. Wifi and voice calling is fine though.
The Network Signal App shows that I have an HSDPA (7.2Mbit/s) net type but the data state is 'Disconnected'. I have confirmed that 'Use packet data' is on in the network settings and I have re-entered the (Vodafone Contract) APN settings several times.
I have put the SIM in a spare phone and data works as expected.
Any ideas?
Thanks

have you tried checking data usage under 'Settings'? , usually there's a capped set if your way over the pre-determine data cap on the phone. Try to raise the bar all the way up and see if you can gain data connection again.

I'm not sure if it helps at all(in relevance to the OP's issues), bear in mind apn settings are different in every carriers. Manually configuring doesnt' change anything at all... even worse, your just aggravating more his problem.

Thanks to both of you - the APN settings are confirmed as correct.
The data usage sits solidly at 0. I have disabled the cap, but even with it turned on and set at 5GB (my cap is 1GB but since we're only 7 days into the month there's no way I have exceeded it), it makes no difference.
I have confirmed with Vodafone that everything should work.
I have also tried a couple of previous radio images without success. At the moment I have just pulled the battery and I am waiting an hour or so before firing up the phone again.
If I can't fix this soon I might just revert back to stock Gingerbread, but I get the feeling the fix should be really simple.
FIXED!!
I added a new APN to the list and just duplicated the Vodafone Contract settings that I know work. This new APN setup was identical to the pre-defined one (which I had been editing) - but it works!!!.
Stick that one in the memory bank for possible future use!

So I had the Australian Optus version of 2.3.6 running on my i9000, which was loaded up with bloatware.
I flashed 2.3.6 using tchindalias's method (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802778), and since have not been able to use Mobile Networks (i.e. packet data and MMS).
I can make phone calls and send SMS fine. My wi-fi also works fine.
I have configured my APN settings according to what it says at http://www.tpg.com.au/support/handset_settings.php#1.1, (TPG is my carrier), and my IMEI number under my battery matches what it says in my settings menu.
It says in my notification bar that there is packet data being sent and received (The orange and green arrows next to a E/3G/G/H), but when I try to load something it just won't load no matter how long I leave it.
So what I'm asking is, could somebody please help me out in getting Mobile Networks working again? I've looked around the forums for a while and haven't found much of a solution.
EDIT: So it only took a bit of time for the problem to resolve itself... Turns out reconfiguring my APN settings fixed the problem.
hello captivate community, i have a question regarding sending picture via cm11. i picked up an i897 on ebay which was delivered a week ago and source built ktu84q using strictly cyanogenmod repos. after the joy of realizing the recovery is baked into the kernel...... i was able to pursue my kitkat journey, no problem. im experiencing difficulty with sending a picture message however. airvoice is my carrier and data is working. wcdma preffered mode w/ 3g. h is data icon if its of any significance, and i manually entered the correct apn configuration and followed the instructions via the airvoice website. i also tried hangouts, which resulted with a message not sent. touch to retry. funny thing is, if my wifi is active, a picture message sends no problem. any suggestions?

That sounds like you might be missing the mms apn. Did you enter 2 apn manually?

Did you have that issue when you got the phone?
I'm thinking it might be an issue with the ROM you're currently using. It's a shot in the dark though as it could be something in your network settings.
Best thing to do (after trying different network options/settings) would be to backup your stuff, flash stock, test it. If it works, write down your settings and test them on the ROM you wanna use. If it doesn't work on stock, it's either a problem with your carrier or some user error (network settings).
its a known bug (for me anyways) some cm roms (multiple devices) cannot edit *#*#4636*#*# phone info changing network. when i enter the phone info menu, signal immediately drops and when i attempt to change the network, it defaults to unknown. if i enter and exit airplane mode, the signal returns (wcdma preffered). i need to enter a build.prop edit to set the network, which i have yet had time to do. i will retest on stock rom when i am able.
solved
Add default,MMS to APN type of MMS APN. Reboot
Hello,
I recently updated my Z3 compact (D5803) to android 5.1.1. on the T-Mobile network here in NYC. Ever since then, I frequently lose the ability to do anything data-based with the phone. No web browing, no chatting on whatsapp. I can still make phone calls and send/receive SMS, however. The data functionality returns when on WiFi, but goes away once I switch back to LTE. In order for me to get data on LTE, I have to manually download the internet settings for my provider to my phone (this is located under the Settings menu in android). Even then, it only lasts for several minutes before the data connection is lost. T-Mobile was unable to fix the problem, and changing the SIM card didn't resolve the issue.
Anyone else experience this?
Yes, many others have the same problem, see various posts in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/discussion-5-1-1-stock-released-post-t3162309
Currently, the best workaround seems to be to disable and re-enable mobile data, or to go to airplane mode and back again. That solves the issue until you drop LTE connection the next time, then you will have to re-iterate.

Yes I am having the exact same problem since updating to 5.1.1. As the other reply says turning airplane mode off then on is the quickest way to get connectivity back (swipe down twice from the top for quick access). This is terribly frustrating though, it only lasts for a few minutes. I can't believe they pushed the update with this issue!

My phone had this issue after the over the air update. I reset the phone to factory, wiped all data. Two days on, now, and no more problems with this.
Same problem. I tried factory reset out of desperation, but it didn't work.
Love this phone, but very discouraged by this bug.
(I'm on t-mobile in Seattle, fwiw)

As posted in the other thread, there is now a fix/workaround:
From reddit user FishStik5: Going into the APN settings and changing the APN protocol to iPv4 only (it was iPv6 before) seems to fix the problem.
How to find the setting: Settings-> Wirelessa and Network / more -> Mobile networks -> APN -> T-mobile data -> APN protocol -> Set to IPv4.

Looks like this worked for me (T-mobile, San Francisco area). Thanks for posting this
i'm having the same problem and didn't work for my the ipv4. still loosing data, i have to reboot the phone
I have also problem with that (Orange, Poland). I sent my phone to official Sony service, they reload the software, but I still have that problem. Lte is working for a while and when my phone switches to wcdma (because it is not in a range of lte) it is not working either. However, when I change the preferred network from lte to wcdma it is working without any issues.
Same problem here although I'm on ipv4 [emoji34]

I thınk you shouldnt buy operator phones. Buy ınternatıonal models next tıme
Mine isn't an operator model, I'm using Straight Talk and also have the issue. It made my phone useless....I almost never have data
This worked for me
This worked on my Doogee Valencia2 Y100Pro
Install and Open app "Hidden Android Settings" (by 0Alex)
Select choose and open "RadioInfo"
Move to Last option "TOGGLE DNS CHECK"
mine read "0.0.0.0 not allowed"
press the "TOGGLE DNS CHECK" so that it displays "0.0.0.0 Allowed"
That's it - my mobile data worked, I hope it works for yo

1. Change "APN Protocol" to IPv4
2. Change "APN Type" to: "default,supl" only
3. Change "APN" to "internet"
4. Save.
Best, Martin.

this is a bug on 5.1.1 sony need to fix it
Any news with this issue?
No problem here with LTE on the CM 12.1 Cyanogenmod flavor of 5.1.1 on T-mobile (that I've noticed at least). But I think CM 12.1 may handle the APN settings differently (mine is set to T-Mobile LTE ipV4) from the stock ROM or it could be something Sony messed up from the AOSP code. I'm NOT suggesting anyone try a CM ROM as a solution as there are lots of downsides to unlocking your phone and flashing any non-stock ROM. But the problem does seem to be specific to the Sony ROM and not 5.1.1 in general.
I also have this problem after the update to 5.1.1 in the Netherlands. The first problem was that the update changed some mobile data settings, so I downloaded the settings from my provider. Unfortunately those settings were also incorrect as I had to manually remove the APN's Proxy and Port (they were set, be needed to be 'not set'/empty). This improved the connection a bit, but it still looses the mobile data at certain places (where the coverage is good). Did a factory reset as the Sony helpdesk suggested. For a few days this seemed to help, but again the same issue came up. The suggested solution mentioned in this thread did not work as those settings are already applied.
I have a profider (Telfort) which uses another provider's network (KPN's). So after the update I also see a annoying R in the signal icon, where in the previous version it always showed H+, H, 3G.
Does anyone know if this is resolved in the new update?
After the last update and a new reconfiguracion on the APN now work correct for me.
