I don't understand it. I cannot save a APN into the list. I enter my APN, MCC, MNC and give a name to the APN and save it. It won't appear in the list. I had this issue often. In former times I used ROM Manager and did "fix permissions script" but I cannot use ROM Manager anymore, because I have safestrap installed. So, is this is a file permissions issue? How can I fix that? I am not able to use 3G anymore :/ why the hell are the APNs not saved?
any help appreciated.
Hi. I had this problem.
On the stock rom, I had to disable and re-enable airplane mode for APNs to work.
If it still doesn't show up, add it manually to apns-conf, disable/enable airplane mode, then go to APN settings > menu key > reset to default. This will re-read the apns-conf.
If it doesn't work I suggest getting a new sim-card. The first 2 weeks I used my (couple of years) old sim card and the droid 3 couldn't read the MNC/MCC from the sim.. even though other phones could.
The airplanemode bug was also solved by using Mavrom, it's a great ROM either way

The airplone mode off/on did the work. Thank you!

You're welcome. Note that the problem kept re-appearing for me every once in a while. When leaving WiFI area it wouldn't go back to 3G, and I had to switch airplanemode. Mavrom fixed it for me, but maybe you're lucky
Ok. As I didn't try any custom ROM I cannot tell you. I am running stock. Maybe you can tell me as you are already using Maverick ROM 3.0. Does BT AUDIO (listening through Bluetooth my mp3 through my Droid3) and camera/video work 100% with Droid3 ?

Using 4.0 btw .
I haven't tried BT audio, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Since there have several releases before 4.0 I assume someone would've noticed if it didn't.
Camera/video works 100%. The rom doesn't really kill any essential features.
Either way, if you install the rom with safestrap, your original rom will be backed up. It allows you to swap back to your stock rom with a click of a button. (and vice versa)
switch airplane mode - ok

Helped too, but I think it's mistake of (old) SIM card. But it does not work only in Motorola Droid 3, I have tried Samsun, and it was ok ... strange.
The slot with contacts in Droid 3 is not holding the SIM card fixed.
I found a solution for saving the APN:
This worked for me:
- Go to Dial Number and type *#*#4636#*#* for the hidden (info)menu in Android
- touch 'phone information'
- search for 'Set preferred network' or something like that (I'm from Belgium so my phone is in the Dutch language)
- change 'WCDMA preferred' to 'CDMA auto (prl)'
- you're good to go and you can save your APNs now (after changing, they worked without the need of manual editing)

Hi Friends!
Now seems that I have a serious problem, my Kaiser still with the "Cannot connect" problem, displaying the following message in any data transfer attempt:
"Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacture's documentation and try again."
Ive checked the connection settings lots of times, tried all RADIO versions.
Tried setting network band manually for GSM, PAP and CHAP authentication, enabled and disabled HSDPA without success.
The same SIM card works perfectly in another cell phone, but other SIM card (from other operator) didn't work either in my Kaiser.
Ive noticed, doing some internet search, that this problem used to happen in other HTC models, but I couldnt figure a way to solve the problem or what were its true origin.
Tnx in advance for your attention and help!

similar issue, now happened twice
I had this issue once before. After getting the run around, they determined that the radio was bad. I sent it in and they replaced it. Now a year later i am having the same issue. I have noticed that if i am traveling(driving), ocassionaly it will start to work again. I "think" that gprs works, but when it changes to "edge" it fails, or just works for a few hours....
Bye the way, I am using an unlocked phone on t-mobile.
Have you tried running removeHiddenProxy4CWS_1219.cab?
Look it up in the forum, then install it to Device.

Hmmm
Does this message appear when emailing only?
Or does it appear also when browsing, say by using PIE?
Last week I had a problem where I couldn't email at all on my Tilt nut was able to browse.
I put my SIM card on my E51 and no problems at all.
I went back to my Tilt, tried everything I could think of w/o success, so I finally had to HR and reinstall (this was the 1st time even a restore from a previous good backup didn't help).

watch your mouth young man!
after *#*#4636#*#*,"phone info","set preferred netwok types",it shows "UNKNOWN" and can not be changed;press menu button,"set radio band" always shows "set [] unsuccessful"
if you know something you bring it on, don't just stand there and talk
that's right. besides of GPRS problem, i also find chinese text message will be messy code after sent. either send to others or even myself.
well, it's really hard to love android.

GPRS data connection don't work in the build from 18th. You can ping any server by it's PI address, but you cannot ping it by it's address. Maybe there's a problem with DNS?

Hello everyone. As you may guess from the topic title, I'm having a rather serious issue - my Captivate is no longer connecting to 3G or even to Edge - though it connects to Wi-Fi just fine.
It all started about a week ago, but has since progressed to a frustrating degree.
Basically, I was running Cognition 3.03, and everything was going fine - and then after hitting Flight Mode, I couldn't reactivate my data connections. I'd reboot the phone, and I'd be able to connect for about a minute or so after booting, and then Flight Mode would re-enable by itself; needless to say, it was very frustrating.
After looking around the Internet for some help, I eventually flashed what I presume is supposedly a stock rom - specifically I897UCKB1 - and thus we get to my current issue - no 3G access at all, no Edge, though I can still make and receive calls and send and receive text messages.
I guess it should be mentioned that I've had the phone about a year and a half (got it in November 2010, and therefore not up for a new phone until then), and generally put it to heavy use data-wise.
I had read somewhere that it might be an issue with my SIM card, but switching SIM cards with my dad did not solve the problem at all.
Could it be a problem with the modem or whatever that connects with the 3G network?
Thanks for your help (and for reading all of that!)

It does sound like you're having a modem issue. The easiest way to correct this would be to go to the Modems thread at the top of the Development section and find a modem that works with your ROM (KB1). Flash that from recovery and see if it fixes it.
If not, you may need to flash back to stock and re-flash Cognition.
Also, check your apn settings. There's an option to reset to default. Try that.

Sorry it took so long to reply - my home Internet access is... not good, so I have to go into the public library to do anything for the time being.
Anyway, my phone was being unruly and wouldn't let me do anything last night after I downloaded the modem that's supposed to work with my ROM - I couldn't even root it for whatever reason. I'm in the middle of downloading the supposedly official stock Gingerbread ROM (KK4) and I'm going to try from there later tonight.

Unfortunately I don't see anything about that. I go Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile Network, see Access Point Names, and it says it's empty and asks if I want to add an APN. I have no idea about what to do with that, so I'm not going to try right now.

once you Get to the screen asking if you want to add an apn, hit menu. One of the options should be reset to default. If you have no apn, that would explain why you have no 3g, etc.

Thanks for the quick reply.
When I go into Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks, it brings up a list of four items
-Use packet data (with the checkmark)
-Data roaming (with a checkmark, unchecked)
-Access Point Names
-Network Operators.
Clicking Access Point Names brings up a notification box APN Empty: Add an APN? Ok/Cancel. Hit OK, and it brings up a list of things for me to type in - hit menu and it only brings up Save and Discard. Hit Cancel, and it takes me back to the previously listed four items.
Clicking Network Operators shows Default Setup, but it's grayed out, and pressing the menu button does nothing.
Sorry for double post, but good news!
I flashed the 2.3.5 ROM I mentioned above, and it all works now!

I have not enough posts to post in developer`s topic that`s why I`m posting here.
If you can not connect to USB storage, use Multimount, or any same program it shows errors but helps.
GPS works fine on my droid 3, using Navitel software instead of google.
But there is not GSM or 3G gata, and I cann`t use phone.
also I found some bug in internal SD File system - it could not show any non English symbols in file names.
I got up to 180 MB RAM (even more then on GB)!:good:

Generaly, I think GSM have to work, but I`ve make something wrong till I tried to unable it.
Do you have an 860 or 862 on the 883 radio? Try unchecking the Verizon boxes.

For your lack of 3G data this worked for me:
Be warned however I am in New Zealand on Vodafone NZ so may not apply given it is not Verizon US...
On latest 20121018 build of CM10 from HashofCode this works 100% for me...
First start up my APN was set to Verizon and I could not remove it or add another..
Second change - System Settings - More, in here is tick boxes for "Enable alt OEM telephony code" and "Enabled alternate getIMSI code"
For me those two were ticked/enabled, the lower two were not.
I unticked those, rebooted and all is working on 3G and data! the APNs set themselves correctly to Vodafone NZ etc.
May be play around with those for yourself to see if it helps, note I suspect a reboot required after changing ?
Good luck

Good evening to everyone.
As the title says I did a hard reset of the device (I had some problems for cell calls with the new update, people coudn't hear me sometimes) and I'm now UNABLE to connect to everything with 3G, the setting is displayed on the active center but I can't navigate anyway.
Anyone else who had the same problem?
PS: In the settings:
3g Activated, tried with both automatic research and manually set up my phone manager;
Power saving inactivated
I tried everything but would avoid to hard reset AGAIN.
Thanks in advantage
Check the APN, make sure it's correct and/or try setting it manually.
