Hi all,
Recently acquired one of these phones that was originally network locked to WIND Mobile in Canada.
Successfully got it unlocked and connected to the FIDO network, however data has not been working. Copied the APN settings over from the previous FIDO phone (the same as the APN settings listed on FIDO website for unlocked phones) and I am getting no data connection.
Any suggestions?
Update: I tried the LTE APN and now I am getting 2G network connection only. But it is slow as ballllls
Anyone else notice that this phone has a really long lag time for connecting to any networks? When I turn it on it says emergency calls only for up to 5 minutes each time until it connects to the network.
I am using a Fido locked optimus 2X and have no connection problems like you describe. My device connects to the network within seconds of booting up. As for the data problems, all I can suggest is to try to return to the sim's stock APN, by pressing the menu button and 'restore default apn' in the apn portion of the settings. If not, it may be a problem with the rom, and you could try flashing another rom.

So I have ICS (AOKP) on my p1000 that I originally bought from AT&T. Since then I flashed the modem and use a prepaid T-Mobile sim card for phone calls. For the next couple months I need a data plan and have thought about using my original AT&T sim that came with the tablet to activate their $15/250mb per month plan. Since it's for such a short time, I would just leave my T-Mobile in for calls, and put the AT&T sim in if I need to check my email.
When I take out the T-Mobile sim and insert the one from AT&T, it says I need to reboot to connect to the network.
Upon reboot, I go into Settings > Wireless & Networks > More > Mobile Networks > Network Operators. At this point it searches for available networks. I see both AT&T and T-Mobile as choices. When I chose AT&T, however, it says "Unable to connect to this network at this time"
Is there something I need to do in order to enable a data service through AT&T? I haven't signed up for the plan yet, because I'm not able to connect to the network.
Thanks in advance.
I should also note that I've gone to APN settings and tried 2 different approaches I've found through these forums:
-The one for "Broadband" as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474419
-This one which is similar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083173
-The one for wap.cingular as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259249&highlight=wap+cingular
I've also tried the T-Mobile modem and the JK3.
I have "Data Enabled" checked and "Data Roaming".
After trying all of these settings, I'm still having the same issue when I go into Network Operators, and selecting at&t: "unable to connect to this network at this time"
Edit: I'd also love to know if, once this is working, I will have to flash the modem since I will be using data only from AT&T
I wonder if its the SIM card itself.
Do you have any other phones you could test it with or grab someone else's AT&T phone?

I hadn't thought of that. Is this anything AT&T could diagnose? I remember when I first got my tab and popped it in that it worked.
Edit: Just called AT&T- the sim expires after 30 days. :-(
I have a rogers tablet. Same model as the at&t? Could i use this with wind mobile, as its the same frequency as T-Mobile?

Yes, as you know, you need to unlock it from your network. I prefer Helroz unlock app free in the market. You will only get EDGE speed data.
So i can use this rogers tablet on wind? Just as a 2nd clarification?

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!

Hey guys! I just switched yesterday from bell to Fido in an attempt to attain data for cheaper. At first I couldn't connect to data and I had to manually install the APNs for Fido internet but now randomly I'll just have no signal for 30ish seconds. It comes back and is 4 bars like before. I'm on the same phone as on bell. Xperia Z1 c6906 and I unlocked it off of bell and switched to Fido. Let me know if you guys have any ideas. Also I know its not the area I'm in because it worked fine before enabling data.
Thanks
When that happens what simbol does phone gives next to signal bar. (e,h,3G,4G)

No signal whatsoever ever. Empty data bars and a red x
I think Fido and Bell are using different network band and they selling their own locked device. Try to check your device to see if the device is support that carrier band. If yesy then maybe it's something wrong in your phone. Try to reflash full FTF to see if it software problem...
I'm not sure what FTF means but I'm going to read root it this morning so I can actually access recovery. I checked my APN and it still just drops the signal every 15 mins or so and comes back like 15 seconds later..
Also is there any option to flash a radio like with Samsung?
Hi
I am in Kolkata India and recently switched from a 2G to a 3G plan with Vodafone Kolkata. Ever since then, my problem is that I am unable to connect to 3G using WCDMA. Neither voice nor data works. If I revert to GSM only, then voice and 2G works fine. Wifi has been fine and my saviour at home.
Phone details: Sony Xperia SP C5302 running Android 4.3 build 12.1.A.1.205.
I have confirmed with network service that it is not a SIM card issue, by carrying out the foll. tests already
1- Signal strength in the area of use : At the time when I am unable to connect to 3G, my colleague sitting in the next desk and using a Motorola phone is consistently able to connect to the same 3G network from his phone. So the network strength must be fine.
2- SIM damaged or dirty - I have obtained a new SIM card as replacement, after this problem started, from my service provider yesterday. But the problem is not resolved.
3- Manual network search and connection - I have tried this many times, using WCDMA only or WCDMA(Preferred) options. In either case, only on rare occasions, the phone was able to connect to a network. However, 3G data connection (H+ icon) did not show and then the phone disconnects from network. On most occasions, when I manually attempt to connect to the 3G network, I get the message "Could not register to the selected network. Make sure SIM is inserted."
3- Trying different SIM/Handset - I have tried out both options of switching SIM and handset.
- My SIM on Motorola handset - connects to H+
- Another SIM on my Sony - momentarily connects, then disconnects and then does not connect to network.
Please let me know if anyone has faced similar issues and found any resolution. Thank you in advance.

I think that there's an option to use 2G instead of 3G in the settings menu, have you checked to see if that is enabled?

That is the WCDMA option I've mentioned about, there was no other setting for this.
Anyways, it turned out to be a hardware problem. Got the "mother-board" replaced for free as it was under warranty & now working fine!

hi
i got the phone from korea, the problem is when connecting to 4G the phone would lose internet and calls then lose the network, i get a message saying "failed to register to network (15)" but if i forced the phone to connect to 3G then it works fine. here's what i tried to fix the problem :
turning off the mobile network then turning it on
resetting the network settings
removing NR Whitelist
and none of them fixed the issue. there's a korean menu in the service mode, but i didn't miss with it. i have attached screen shots of the software information and the korean menu in the service menu.
Who provides your service? Have you tried going into network settings and APN and see what that says
If it is a Korean phone and you aren't in Korea and it is locked into the network then you won't be able to get service somewhere else I don't think

im using my local non korean sim card and it's working fine, and im also using my local sim's APN settings, the sim card is not korean and nor are the APN settings.
i want to exhaust all my available options before i go for the format.
