[Q] [Help] Can't connect to the internet - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've been searching the forum for a while, but can't seem to find the right sollution for my problem. Im currently using the Galaxy S Plus I9001 with the Slimbean v6.2 [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296347]. My problem is now that it won't connect to the internet, i can send textmessages but no internet. I enabled roaming and data but i can't select any provider, but somehow it does it automatically. However when I press
*#*#4636#*#*
and go to phone information, no number is displayed and if I ping it is failing time after time.
Radiobutton is enabled, WCDMA preferred and my current provider is T-Mobile (I currently use a Tele2 Sim, Tele2 is using T-Mobile's network).
If anyone has a solution or a tip, please help me. (I also tried searching in the original ROM post but search function wasn't working.) I only had one ROM working on my phone and that was MIUI, however I don't like the speed / looks and i really like this one.
Thank you in advance!
Kind Regards,

Just a random thought: can you ping 8.8.8.8? If yes its only a dns related problem and can be fixed by adding "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to /system/etc/resolv.conf.

Thanks for the reactions! But somehow it worked again, i was on my way home in the bus and suddenly i received some whatsapp messages. And all of a sudden i had internet. Anyway thanks for the help!

Need connection setup for S730

Please help me the connection setup cab, because my S730 cannot setup my network.
Need more information, do you want the cab for the initial connection setup wizard thing?
What type of network are you trying to connect to? WiFi? Phone's network?
If its your home wifi then make sure you have the wep correctly typed in, or is it the other encryption? and you might need to tweek the power options for the wifi so it wont nerf it...
Expand your question and give us as much info as to the problem, might not need to reinstall anything, could but might not need to.
I hv some problem with phone network, during i setup phone network then appear for error in the database. Pls help me for solution.
Phone network is going to be a hard one for us to trouble shoot since we dont work for the phone company, easiest way to try and get it working would be to go into a store and have an employee take a peak at it, however if you orderd it over the internet they might not be able to help you unless they support the device. Going through HTC could take a while.
Now what exactly does the error say? Just "Database error"? Or does it give a refrence code like a windows BSOD will give you a stop code?
To start with I would make sure your SIM looks okay as it could be having issues reading the network info off of it, next take a look in your phone settings, Start>(Option 8) Settings>Phone, theres several in there to look at but mostly go to the next page and into Networks, is your even listed? What options do you have under find a new network?
If you go back into phone under Band Select what is it set to?
If you go back into the main options menu what is under Regional Settings?
And, do you have a signal where your at?
Thanks for your explanation, i only have a problem with appear "error in the database" therefore i can't using GPRS or 3G network for HSDPA etc. I need some setting to run my GPRS or 3G network, because previous HP i'm using i have no problem with above matter.
Did you change anything in the menu's I listed above? It sounds like your saying the issue is only with the network as it applies to data and not voice (phone calls).
Go into your GPRS settings section and let us know what it says in there, did you go into a store and pick up the phone or just order it online? Was your old HP fully 3g / hsdpa ready? Did you change anything on your account that might be killing it on your phone?
Need to know what your settings are before going after it being a phone problem internally, setting, or something up with the network interaction. What are you trying to access? Sending an SMS / MMS or something with the browser or another application trying to use the internet?
Error in the DB sounds almost like its getting a connection but cannot locate your information?
If your browsing something online and get that its usually a browser error in which you can delete your history / cookies or reinstall it or its a website error and its no longer connecting to the DB properly etc.
Do you see an E or 3G on the top of your phone (by the battery Status) at any time?
I never change anything in my S730. I only try to setup my connection wizard in S730 but failed (It called error in the database)
Before i'm using S730, all the network likes video call, HSDPA, GPRS is running well but when i'm using S730 all the above network can't be running well. I only can use for phone and SMS.
Yes Error in the DB is almost like its when getting a connection setup but i never successful to find location the network. Do you have a cab to run the connection setup like HTC Tytn II?
I cannot browsing anything when the connection setup can't be done.
I see in my S730 the icon E or 3G on the top of my phone but cannot running well due to connection setup can't be done.
Hmm, I will see what more I can do when I am at home later tonight. Most of the connection settings will be network specific and read off of your phone, to use 3g and Edge you shouldnt have to set anything up. I just put in my new SIM card, turned the phone on and away I went. The only setting up I had to do was for the Wifi.
Since your phone is recognizing the networks I dont think its an issue with that aspect of the phone, something in the drivers could be causing issues with how it interacts with the network. Could be the sim having corrupt information and a few other things.
Who is your provider?
Many thanks for your assistance. I'm using provider INDOSAT in Indonesia.
I have not seen any other similar errors for INDOSAT on google (didnt dig too deep however).
For giggles go into your start menu and select more until you see the connection setup wizard (earth with a magic wand on it) and see what that does for you.
Does the phone stay in E or 3g mode or cycle between the two at random while your at home? How is the coverage in your area? I dont have 3g available here but every now and then my phone will slip into 3g mode and while its trying to connect for those 10 seconds the handset lags a little but always reverts back to edge and resumes normal life.
If you still have your old handset can you pop your sim in it still have have everything run perfectly? (Assuming you reset the device so the settings are back to stock).
For now my best advice (I am no expert like some of the people here...)
Go into the settings menu, make sure your GPRS settings are as correct as they can be (contact your provider to verify the info the phone is telling you) From the main settings several pages into it is a GPRS Auth... place verify that is set correctly as well.
If you bought this handset brand new you really should be able to just pop in your sim and fly away, MMS requires some setup but the rest is plug and play pretty much. Have you tried a reset of the device in hopes that it flushes out a possible bug and allows your settings to take over?
Thanks for your help, now my S730 is running well for video call and over GPRS.

[HELP] GPRS not working

A strange problem..
I recently got GPRS activated on my sim..
When i try connecting on my Diamond, the E becomes active and it tries to connect.. But after abt 30 secs to a min, it says "Cannot connect for an unknown reason... etc etc.."
I initially thought it was a problem with the network..
But, when i put the same sim in my old Asus P525, set up the connection and tried to connect, the G became active and got connected within a few seconds!!!
From then i've been tryin to connect on my Diamond and have got connected about twice with E in the signal bar.. But that must've been some freak accident cos after a few hours i tried connecting w/o changing any of the settings and absolutely no luck!
I've tried almost all the cooked ROM's. And different radios.
Right now i'm on the Official WWE ROM 1.93.
Hard SPL 1.23 or 1.24.
And 1.00.25.03 Radio.
Any idea about what's wrong, guys?
Make sure you have the correct GPRS/WAP settings installed on your HTC Diamond.
There are different settings for Payandgo and Contract SIM cards.
You can try searching Google for them, or if you live in the UK try this website: http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html

prank1, the settings are right..
That's why it's working on my old phone..
I think it may have somethin to do with Edge and GPRS..
Maybe my service provider does not have Edge capabilities..
If i'm able to restrict my Diamond to try and connect to Edge and connect to GPRS instead, it may work..
Any way that could be done?

My bad - didnt see the 'set up connection' bit so I assumed you didnt have the correct settings.
I had this problem once but it went away with a ROM upgrade - that was when I had the XDA Orbit.
The problem may be that my phone does not try connecting to GPRS and directly tries to connect Edge..
Isn't the connection supposed to be G-E-3G, in that order?
Is there any way i can prevent my phone tryin to connect to Edge?
Can i make GPRS as first preference instead?
Anybody? Please?
From what i heard my diamond doesn't support US( or Canada which is where i live) 3g because of diamonds hardware so that's why it only connects to edge which is really slow... anyways to connect i had to phone rogers my wireless provider and they gave me my username and password which was needed to connect online. So i'm guessing it's the same for you if you go to
Settings > Connections > rogers internet( for mine) > Manage existing connection
from there you'll go to the next page where you can input your info.

Hey.. That doesn't seem to be the prob since i can get it to work on my old PDA with the same settings..
That phone gets connected and it shows 'G'.
What might help me is somethin to block my phone tryin to connect to Edge before it even tries to connect to GPRS..
I don't think that's practical, but wishful thinking..
I've had the same issue with my Diamond, I know for sure that the network settings are correct as it sometime connects fine and other times I keep getting the "Cannot connect for an unknown reason..." error- only a soft reset would resolve the issue. Seems a bit random but am trying to monitor what is causing it.
It always used to work fine on my Hermes. BTW I'm using Dutty's ROM on my Diamond.

Yeah.. Sounds almost like my prob..
Could it be a rare manufacturing defect sort of thing thats affecting our phones?
Cos nobody else seems to have such an issue..
And i keep changing between Dutty's and Panosha's ROM..
I don't know if it's same problem you have ,
but I had kinda same problem..
I found that the lame ActiveSync change the proxy of my internet connection and put in the internet connection proxy my local proxy at work, even I removed the proxy it didn't help (dunno why) , just by adding new connection from the advance and adding new name etc.. it solve the problem...

I've only had my Diamond (MDA Compact IV) for only about 3-4 weeks. I was so keen to flash to a different ROM that I did so within 10-15 hours of receiving the device; my point being that I didn't get to try out my data connection on the stock T-Mobile ROM.
The connection seems to be fine today...!

Hmmm.. I don't think i have the exact same problem, but somethin similar..
I'll try adding a new connection..
Thanx..
As I know something with Activesync **** the GPRS connection..
Let us know if you solve your problem with new connection...
Ok.. Note the "E" in the first pic and in the second..
The first one is 'clear' and the second one is 'hazy'!
When the "E" is 'clear', my GPRS connects!!!
I found this out after putting a different sim card of a different network and connecting..
When i put the other sim card, i got 'clear' "E" and GPRS worked..
Then i put back my old sim card and on switching on the phone, the "E" was still 'clear'!!
On tryin to connect, it worked!!!! Even after several manual diconnections, it worked only cos the "E" was still 'clear'..
Then i reset my phone with my sim card and got the 'hazy' "E".. And back to square one.. Not connecting..
My question is, what does this 'hazy' "E" mean and how do i make it 'clear'???! Only then my GPRS seem to work!
Help!!!!!!
This is how it is when connected properly..
Cannot connect for an unknown reason
I also had this problem. To make my story short, I have a data plan with Claro Peru which I have been using with my Touch (not 3G phone) with no problems. 3 days ago I acquired my Diamond 3G US version. When attempted to connect to the HSDPA I got the error mentioned here (cannot connect for..., sometimes the "H" symbol was difusse [like in the picture in a previous post in this thread], etc). The root cause of this was that my data plan only have GPRS/EDGE activated, my network provider (Claro) differentiates 2G internet vs 3G (so no HSDPA/UMTS until subscribing to a new plan).
The **SOLUTION** for my case was to select under "Select your network type" the option GSM (Start, Settings, Phone, Band tap). The option Auto was the default. Thus restricting to EDGE my data connection (which is according to my plan). Also, on the same tap I selected UMTS(850+1900)+GSM(850+1900) under "Select you GSM/UMTS band". You have to select here the frequencies according to your country.
P.S. The problem was the same before and after I updagred my ROM to RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship. So, two things to mention here. 1, A ROM upgrade is not the solution for this problem (in my case). 2, you can upgrade the Diamond US version (my is DIAM110) with a WWE ROM upgrade.
Hope this help someone.

I have the Diamond on T-Mobile in the UK with the web'n'walk plan (HSDPA enabled - although not the higher-speed "plus" version). This happens to me every single time I'm in a GPRS-only area - when I have HSDPA coverage, it connects fine. In order to get it to connect, I have to open the Comm Manager, turn off the data connection and re-activate it.
Before anyone asks, my connection settings are all correct and I've tried numerous different main and radio ROMs - nothing makes a difference. I'll give this a shot, see if it makes a difference.

OK, I would try the option Auto for the "Select your network type" so the phone auto negotiates the technology in use (between GPRS or the much better HSDPA), but change the option for the bands according to your country.
Let us know the results!

[Q] Can only connect with wifi

Hi all - Just got a diamond 2 from ebay . I can get everything connected no problems through wifi however with the wifi off nothing connects phone works sms works sim is showing an HSDPA connection and o2 has changed to 3g o2 . Is there any settings i have missed to connect to the internet any other way except wifi.
Tried so far all report connection error.
Weather widget
Live messenger
data connection - won't turn on
Phone is on o2 in UK.
Other thing to mention is i left this sim in the phone overnight as my old number was being transferred to it have tried a soft reset as well.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Finally managed to find some settings hidden under about 15 different layers to change the gprs settings and connect to everything else. No idea where they are now so i'm afraid i can't help future users coming into this post but if i reflash with a different rom no doubt i will be tearing my hair out to enter them again and when i find them this time i will write them down.
(I'm doing this from memory so forgive me if I have left something out.)
Generally if you go to Settings\Connections\Connections and I believe you go to the advanced? tab, you should see 2 connections settings, set both to internet.
Thanks for the reply Bruce. Couldn't find it in the ROM i'm using so instead i found another way . Entered here incase anyone else comes up with the same problem.
1: goto settings>wireless controls - this also works if you go to weather and let it try to update over data.
2: click data connection - it will try to connect and fail.
3: on the failure screen click settings
4: on the settings tab adjust the internet settings for your provider in my case o2 active settings
5: click advanced and from there you can edit the details as you wish..
Hope that helps someone else out there and again thanks for the reply Bruce

Help with my data connection please experts

Hi All - I am a UK Orange user and I have searched all over the place for a resolution to my problem
This morning I turned off the dormancy mode to see if it would help me at all in getting better network speeds and it appears that doing this process has caused my data connection to turn off.
When i look in the options I can enable the data connection but I never get the icon at the top nor do i actually have the ability to send or receive any data from my phone
To resolve the problem I have flashed my phone with the latest RevoHD rom - this has not worked
Flashed the latest Siyah Kernal - this has not worked
Re-Enabled fast dormancy - this has not worked
Checked my APN settings and they all appear fine
When i try to search for a network provider I get the following error - Unable to change networks during data service activated. do you want to disconnect the data service and change available network
When i press OK the changes appear to be made I dont appear to have any data connection
Please can someone help me out in this situation as its starting to concern me
I look forward to your help
Many Thanks

[Q] Note and Idea GPRS/3G Kerala India

Hi all,
Is there anyone here using a Galaxy Note with Idea in Kerala (specifically Trivandrum)?
I am having real trouble connecting to Idea's GPRS net, with the Note insisting that it cannot connect to the network (data only - voice works perfectly).
This happens with both the E (GPRS?) and H (3G?) data indicators. The arrows either remain dark, or the down arrow remains orange (up arrow green). Is this normal?
I have downloaded and installed all the configuration messages sent to me by Idea when I first inserted my SIM.
I currently have four listed access points:
idea_gprs
idea_internet
idea_mobile
idea_mms
No matter which one I select to use, the Note keeps insisting there is a network error.
So I cannot use Google Maps for driving directions, or even Voice Talk in driving mode, because I keep getting the message:
"Cannot connect to server. Please check your network settings and try again" in a dialog box on the Voice Talk screen which takes me to the network settings.
This is especially true in Voice Talk.
Please help.
I've faced this issue a few times on idea kerala network usually between 11 30 pm and 2 am. It's a network issue. you simply have to wait it out , in a few hours it will start working again.
I think idea's apn is "internet" not "idea_internet"... change the settings and try again...
have you tried it with other networks providers? check if 3g is working to make sure this issue is not phone specific.
Thing is, the connectivity has been spotty at best, but since the past couple of days, I have not been able to connect at all.

Samsung Voice Talk
Right.
As far as I can see, Samsung Voice Talk is the only app that regularly has trouble with Idea's GPRS/3G.
Generally service is so poor and connectivity so slow that I initially thought it was a device issue.
However, on further investigation, I find that Voice Talk, while it works perfectly on WiFi, will not do so on GPRS/3G.
Everything else connects with blazing slowness, thanks to Idea.
The one constant is that whenever I try to use Voice Talk under Idea, it immediately throws the error:
"Unable to connect to server. Please check your connection settings and try again."
This dialog box has a button to the connectivity settings menu.
However, no matter what connection I choose out of idea_gprs, idea_internet and idea_mobile, Voice Talk continues to throw the same error.
Any ideas?
I am thinking maybe delete and re-install all the Idea APN's.
Anything else I should/could try?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
