Hello.
I have had an unlocked Motorola Atrix HD for about a month on simple mobile. It was working well until July. I get no internet connection. The icon for 4g is grey at the top of the screen but there is no data transfer. I am done dealing with the terrible service at simple mobile. They sent me a bunch of settings files and they closed the ticket i put because they said everything is fine at their end. I put another sim card on simplemobile from a friend kn my phone and the internet works fine. Any ideas? Or should i just switch carriers? I already paid them 50 dollars for nothing and i even did a factory reset

Searched and searched but can't find anything about this. Due to living in an area with poor mobile reception (except orange but their data rates are extortionate) I've decided to trial some PAYG sims to see which will be usable. I am getting an excellent reception on the 3 sim but the roaming triangle appears at the top of the screen. I think it is roaming on the orange network. Thing is I've just payed £5 for the internet add on but I cant actually connect to the net!! Any page I try and load it just loads 1 byte and then stops. I've gone through the automatic setting and also tried it manually. Tried switching the phone settings to WCDMA but then I get nothing at all!!
Can anybody please help before I go INSANE!!!!
I use Orange and pay £5 for unlimited 1900-07:00 & weekends and then a maximum of £1.50 per day upto 25mb downloaded.
Is that what they told you about charges?
A further update on this issue. Having read a thread on the 4win forum I decided that it may be a dodgy sim card as i had purchased it off ebay. So today I toddled off to the nearest 3 shop for a new sim card. Whilst in there I decided to show the guy (who had never even seen or heard of the kaiser) the problem I was having. Would you believe it, it worked spot on, presumably because the shop was located in an area recieving a 3 3g signal. Thus it must indicate that you can only get on the internet in 3 service areas and not whilst roaming on other networks. Can anyone confirm if this is actually the case?
nope, I use a PAYG sim and it works roaming or not, use it for direct push and nmotes and all works fine. Using the £5 internet bolton, and faked the kaiser as a Nokia N95

On Three, when my TYTN II flips over to GPRS or a little triangle (EDGE?) (and presumably at that point I'm roaming on orange at that point), I find I can't get anything downloaded either.
I wonder if there is something in Three phones that allow them to work on roaming?
The little triangle indicates that the phone is roaming on another network. I believe it's Orange at the moment. It used to be O2 and by 2009 it will be T moblie. I've still had no joy rectifying it anyway (although I am trying!!)
Latest update:
Emailed 3 customer service last night and spoke with them today. The lady told me that there was no way I would ever be able to access the internet on a none 3 branded phone (so God only knows why they sold me the £5 internet option). I explained that I didn't need a free phone or anything off them just a sim only contract that would enable me to access the internet. Having been told that this was absolutely not possible (believe me I tried) I had no alternative but to request a PAC code. I still refuse to believe, however that 3 would turn a perfectly good potential customer away just because he didn't want one of their phones?! It just doesn't make any sense!!! Barring any further developments (hopefully someone on here knows something I don't) I will have to turn to the dark side and go to Orange (

I have an unlocked kaiser. i have a three Payg sim and a contract orange sim.
3sim works fine on net and mail for 3network, on roaming gprs net doesnt work but mail does with same connection.
Orange sim works fine for gprs on both net and mail.
3 weeks ago my 3G connection stopped transferring data.
I can get a 3G signal, make calls in and out on it, but if I want to use any app that requires a net connection, or the phone browser, I have to put it on the 2G/Edge network.
I've..
Uninstalled all my apps. Reset my phone to state it was in when bought new. Pulled the battery numerous times. REbooted the phone. Used my phone side by side on someone on same carrier, T-Mobile, while their 3G connection would work, mine would not. I finally waited for Android 2.2 update, and my 3G data capabilities on this phone are still not working.
Time to call HTC for service?

Harvey you tried using the web browser? What does it say?

Just purchased a used Tmobile dell streak 7. It is stock and has been reset to all factory settings. The wifi works and everything looks to be ok. I got a tmobile sim card with a 2gig mobile broad band data plan. I know the sim is good and activiated because it works just fine in my buddy's stock tmobile g slate. When I insert it in the streak it recognizes the sim card and restarts but I cant use the interent via the sim. I went through the settings like the user manual says and turned off the wifi, I searched for networks and selected "Tmobile", then it says "registered on network" but no 4g/3g icon show up in the right corner. I just get the wireless bars with an x? I am new to tablets so maybe there is something that I am missing? I need to figure this out today because the guy I purchased it from gave me 24 hrs to try to get it working or I could just get my money back. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jared
anyone? Im running out of time here... I tried my at&t sim out of my iphone and it instantly wanted a "special code" which was expected. Could somebody have tried to enter a code too many times while using a tmobile sim card and somehow locked out the tmobile capability?

You need to call T-Mobile customer service, or go into a T-Mobile store, and have them activate the SIM card for the tablet. They have to be tied together.
EDIT: Activate it for THAT specific tablet.
is that true for all tmobile tablets because the sim works fine in a tmobile g slate and the card was not tied to that tablet in any way, but I will try

It just occurred to me that the wireless bars with an x over it could also means that someone has removed or renamed the phone.apk & telephony.apk. I don't have a t-mobile DS 7 so I cannot be certain of this, but you can check it out for yourself. Use a file manager program and go to the directory /system/app and look to see if phone.apk and telephony.apk has been renamed or removed. I have the DS7 wifi edition, and I removed these 2 app so that the DS7 does not drain the battery. My DS7 has the wireless bars with an x over it because I have removed those 2 app.
If ya need those files let me know and ill put em up..im stock t-mo rooted...
just got my streak and ill be around now

hi.
Recently i bought Galaxy Note white from Amazon. It is originally from HongKong.
and I didnt rooting. I bought a ATT Go Phone sim card and activated($50, everything unlimited),now it is working for calling and txting but web and internet is not work
even H+ is shown on top of my screen.
when I try to connect internet, it says " Media Net. To use data service, you must have a data package. go att.com/mygophone"
I already tried vary of APN setting but still not work.
Here is my question.
1) Do I have to buy another sim card? because mine isnt read 3G on sim card.
2) I have a dumphone. Should I put in my sim card to dumphone and call ATT my phone doesnt work for internet?
any other advise will be very welcome.. plz help me..
Apparently, ATT knew you have a smartphone...so your unlimited data plans are block.
I have the same problem...you can check if your dump phone can use for web.
If can't ..call the CSR with your dump phone...see they can fix it. Then try to insert the SIM again when it's fix.
If it's don't work...your have to purchase a data plan.... I got the 250 minutes for $25 and 500MB data plan for $25. And the 500MB data plan will roll over if you enrolled Auto payment every month.
Good luck
So I recently got a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4. As we know, it's unlocked 100% without any special root methods or entering in codes into the dial pad. With that being said, I popped in an LTE Straight Talk SIM card, transferred my old number to the new SIM and configured the APN and for a long while it was working fine with no issues. Then out of the blue, I had no data. It absolutely quit without warning. I go to check the APN settings I had previously and they were gone. I had redone everything and saved the settings. However, when I go back out a menu, no Straight Talk APN. I did the same thing again....and once again no APN settings. Just the default T-Mobile LTE APN.
So I'm at a loss. It was working fine previously and now I cannot set APN settings. I have reset the phone more than once (reluctantly). Any thoughts? Any help would be appreciated since I'm paying those bastards $45 and some change a month for service I cannot get. Also as a note, I can receive and send text messages with no problem. Calling number results in "you are not registered on a network," but I know the fix for that.

Try setting the APN with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tracfone.straighttalk.stdatasettings
Sounds like your phone got black listed. Did you buy it from Tmobile? If you bought it from some one else it was either a stolen phone or the previous own stopped paying for it.

I had bought the phone from a local gas station owner (who had 2 other T-Mobile phones with him). It was working while he showed me the phone (he had gotten several text message and Facebook updates). He then reset it. I bought a Straight Talk SIM kit and went to work. I had working data until the next day. I had played around with some more internal settings, like updating the touch sensitivity and more. Everything was working until I refreshed the Wi-Fi antennae. Don't think that would have anything to do with the 4G/LTE radios or regular antennas. Overall, it was working, so I don't see how it could just magically stop.

If he bought the phone on a lease from T-MOBILE and never fully paid it off T-Mobile would black list it. Or if he sold you a lost\stolen phone.
You can contact T-Mobile or check the IMEI on one of those checker sights to see if it has been blacklisted.

You can check to see if you're blacklisted by visiting the T-Mobile website and using their IMEI checker. If you're blacklisted you would not be able to place calls. I will attach sample AT&T APN that works for me. I'm on Cricket and not StraightTalk but it may work for you.
For all who helped out on this post, THANK YOU! I figured what my issue was. SIM card is fine and the data settings work as long I don't configure the MCC & MNC settings. Changing the MNC from 260 to 410 is what caused my saved APN to disappear. Not sure why that happens, but if any of you have an idea of why, direct me to the thread that explains this or if you know, quote this reply. And another thing, I am able to send texts and make calls, but due to the location I was in, texts sent at half the speed of smell and making a call was impossible due the phone claiming I was "not on a registered network" even though ST is a network (duh). I have no service issues on my Note 3 N900A when I that. Anyone think it could be because AT&T's device antennas differ from that of a T-Mobile Note 4? Personally, I don't think they would since they are both GSM and operate on the same bands (I would think), even though the Note 4 has "newer" technology. Not really worried about data, texts or calls since I have Wi-Fi in said location.
Again, thanks to those that helped me out. And, again, if anyone has any ideas to the information said above, by all means give your say or direct me to where there is substantial info.
