App Blocking 3g Access

I currently have something on the phone not allowing 3g access. I can't seem to figure out what it is, but I believe I narrowed it down to an App. I did a wipe and clean rom install and 3g was working fine. I did a titanium backup restore of all apps with data and now 3g isn't working again. Anyone know of an easy way to pinpoint what is blocking my 3g? I tried ending all tasks in advanced task manager, but I'm guessing the phone would need a reboot to bring back 3g?

Have you check you settings-wireless & networks-mobile networks-use only 2g networks?

ya I tried using only 2g network, I even tried researching the network and it finds tmobile in the settings. I even went as far as getting a fresh sim card prior to wiping the phone. Somehow after an app/data restore from titanium back up, tmobile internet no longer works still. It's why I wiped in the first place.

1) Double check your APN settings in settings > networks > mobile networks
2) In dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#* > choose phone info > scroll down > verify that 'set preferred network type' reads WCDMA preferred.
3) Also in settings, make sure you didnt set 'use 2g only'. Same location as #2 above

Thanks for your help. I actually just did a nandrestore from an image I had that was a week old and internet came back, so it has to of been something I done within a weeks time. I just hope I don't end up hitting the app that stopped it, if I think it was one, because thats the only thing that makes sense to me.

I have your same problem could you be so kind as to attach the img you put so I try too? thanks

Then you will have his phone.

you mean....?

i Think i have a similar problem... I turn 3g on and after half an hour i cannot access the internet anymore... The sign in the notification area shows the "sent arrow" blinking but the receive arrow does nothing... I have apndroid to control my 3g usage... I unistalled it, did a reboot but again the problem persists... Do you have anything in mind???
I forgot to mention that the exact same thing happens with 2g network as well

When someone does a nandroid backup, it backs up all the data on the phone. All of it, if you restore it to your phone, you will be logged into google as him, you will have all his contacts, messages, settings etc. If one of you downloads something, it may download on both machines. The only way to fix it would be to wipe both of them.

i have the same problem. two days ago its working fine. i just turn on turn off the wifi and it just works again.

Can also try turning the airplane mode on/off. This problem occurs if you use APNdroid or similar, or toggle mobile connection on the Desire ROM.

tired of trying and try to wipe, reset, several rom, so I decided to send it to HTC in England ... and the problem is which has the bootloader unlock my ...

[Q] I'm getting MMS stuck on "sending...." with pictures any ideas?

I'm getting MMS stuck on "sending...." with pictures any ideas?
I occasionally send picture messages. but most of the time they get stuck on sending....
some forum posts mention APN on off?
My friend has the same phone and lives with me her MMS were working ok today.
Also i set to auto receive MMS but i got a message with a download button from her. (so i had to manually download it)
What can i do to fix this?
Cheers

I have same issue with Custom Android Rom on my HD2 ... im on o2 and apn etc appear to be fine but stuck stuck stuck!! any help would be great

Had the same problem and tried the same solutions-I checked,double checked,deleted and put apn settings back in but it never made any difference for me. Have found though that if I leave 'Data Network' permanently on I can then both send and recieve mms. If I turn it off and get a mms I get the 'downloading' message but it never actually does when I turn the data back on.
Not much of a solution I admit but it works for me.

its usually your APN settings that cause the MMS to not send. Specifically for my provider (3), there are two APNs that I can set (3services and 3netaccess). I can only send MMS if I set the APN to 3services apparently because this goes through their internal servers first.
If your friend has the same phone and you are both on the same network, check her APN settings and make it the same for you.

MMS only works when data is enabled. Wifi needs to be off.

her settings are the same, her MMS seemed ok but slow, but she has only 3 free per month so i had to stop testing. I get 100 free, so i can send them to myself to test

Interestingly i feel that the problem started after using juice defender. but i could just be being superstitious.
and also, even though it sent ot auto receive MMS (and used to perfectly) it now makes me click download?
I got a new broadband router the other day (Virgin media superhub) but i don't think that's relevant?

Glad the APN worked
I am glad that you were able to get your picture messages working again. Sometimes fixing the APN settings can act only as a band-aid for this issue. If the steps at How to fix an Android phone Stuck on Sending or Downloading when picture messaging doesn’t help… then you might need to contact your service provider because it might be something on their end that’s not configured correctly.
Don’t forget that a backup and reset on an Android device can often fix this issue as well.

[HELP] No MMS when connected to Wifi

For some reason, and I'm not sure when this started but I can no longer send or receive MMS messages when connected to my wifi. Right now I know this happens at home but haven't checked other wifis. I've been googling for answers but haven't found anything real to help remedy the situation. Has anyone else had this issue? if so, how to fix?
Thanks, in advance
MTA: I've noticed that connecting to wifi my mobile data is being disconnected/turned off. Don't remember setting this in anything but it's happening nonetheless. bothersome.

Mobile data is needed for MMS to come through. I used to use Tasker to disable mobile data when I was on wifi to save battery, but stopped doing it because it blocks MMS. I tried using Tasker to enable mobile data for 5 minutes upon receiving an MMS, but it was a little hit or miss.
If you are using a battery saver app, it could be turning your mobile network off to save battery for you, so check there first. I don't think there are any stock settings for it that would do that, but who knows.

I'm not using any battery saver/task killers/ yadda yadda.. I don't even know when it changed. It's completely doing it on it's own. As soon as i connect to a (W)LAN the 4G dims out and I lose mobile data.
I'm running rooted 4.4.2 and have never taken an OTA update. Nothing in xposed anywhere to change this either that I can figure. I'm completely stumped.

If the 4GLTE icon turns from a "bright" gray to a darker gray, this should be OK. If it disappears completely, that would be OFF or not connected at all. I have Verizon, and that's how mine acts. I have an Xposed module to use AOSP icons in the status bar, so mine just says "LTE" right "above" the Wifi icon instead of next to it, to take up less space.
I do have issues from time to time where MMS will just not download properly. Not sure what causes it, but it goes back to normal after a while.

Solved
Ok I've figured this out as I have finally been able to reproduce the problem.
I'm running privoxy on my home lan and if I set the proxy manually on the phone it will choke privoxy up, literally. I can sit here and watch the CPU usuage just climb on the router. If I disable the privoxy proxy on the phone the message goes right through.

Mobile data crashes when trying to receive or send an MMS

Hi all,
I have been having an issue for a while now where if I am on mobile data (3G/4G) and try to send an MMS or someone tries to send me an MMS my data stops working and the signal indicator gets an exclamation mark (!) on it. This happens on both 3G and 4G. Sometimes I am able to finally get the message by toggling data off and on again multiple (10+) times. I don't get this issue when I am on Wifi.
I have checked the APN settings and they are correct. I have tried different messaging apps and the result is the same.
I am currently running Pac Rom 5.1, Baseband version is i9295XXUAMI2. I have re-flashed the rom several times and done all the wipes.
I am thinking my best bet is to flash a new modem over the top to see if that fixes it.
Any suggestions?

Anyone? Please? It's really annoying.

6.0.1 Marshmallow Removes Data Toggle (slow/faiLs to recognize mobile network)

So, I knew updating to Marshmallow 6.0.1 would do this, and, I was purposely holding off until I could find an answer on how to restore the Data Toggle option.
But, AT&T and or Samsung are trying to be like M$, and low and behold, they ninja-updated my phone without my explicit agreement........
SO..... Now I'm stuck with this crap situation of not having a Data Toggle option.
Anyways, Now I noticed the following behavior:
When I have WIFI on, I then turn it off.
Doing this should automatically kick in my mobile provider data service.
Yet, it takes forever to kick in. Up to 10minutes!
There's like not way to force it to be enabled instantly once I disable WIFI.
I reset my network settings and still has the same issue.
It seems for some reason the phone just doesn't want to immediately initiate attempting to connect to my mobile network after I disable WIFI.
Anyone else notice this? and or can provide some pointers to get that data toggle back?

Just an additional note:
Anyways, there isn't any pattern I can find that determines why the phone won't try to initiate the mobile network immediately after WIFI is turned off.
This doesn't ALWAYS happen.
(I do know it never was an issue when I had the Data Toggle option prior to the Marshmallow update)
Well, At this point, I've tried this a few times and it works. If the Mobile Network doesn't kick in:
Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names (( Then choose your access point (Which is your APN to the mobile carrier) (Yes, it is already selected, but choose it anyways) ))
Once I do that and back out of the settings the mobile network kicks in.
*hands in the air on this*..

Factory reset, install Samsung good lock. Problems solved.
Sucks that the mobile data toggle switch doesnt work, this is the best alternative I've found. Bonus is that stupid warning about turning data off doesn't pop up anymore with the good lock

Why do you have to do the factory reset?

I am unable to find Good Lock on Galaxy store! :\

I pulled down the Good Lock apk from the apk mirror site, but, the data toggle STILL didn't work.
At least half the time, I have to to this in order to get the Mobile Data reconnected..:
Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names (( Then choose your access point (Which is your APN to the mobile carrier) (Yes, it is already selected, but choose it anyways) ))
This is extremely annoying. Can anyone else verify?

OK...... Figured this out.
Firstly, I had Multiple APN set up on the phone. I don't know why, but they ended up being there.
However, I only had selected the proper APN out of all of those for the Mobile Data.
The phone at this point didn't care if it was selected, and when switching off my WIFI, the Mobile Data wouldn't come on, and I had to do the following:
Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > Choose THE ALREADY CHOSE proper APN and exit out of settings
After this, the Mobile Data would come on...
SO WHAT I DID:
I removed all APNs that were defined in the 'Access Point Names' section, keeping only ONE APN (The proper one).
After this, the phone would switch on Mobile Data automatically.
SO.... In Conclusion, it looks like this build won't switch to the Mobile Data of a selected APN if multiple APNs are defined in the 'Access Point Names' section...

I've found thru the years that when upgrading to major OS changes, factory resetting helps prevent a plethora of issues. I've rarely ever had any issues with updates across all OS systems (Windows, MacOSX, BlackBerry, Android) because I factory reset. I wouldn't be able to tell you how many posts I've seen across all OSs where a factory reset fixed the problems. To prevent the hassle and headache, I just factory reset. Backing up my messages/phone logs is really the only thing I have to do; all my pictures are automatically backed up to Google Photos and my WD MyCloud, everything else syncs/connects/updates in the cloud (GDrive, GNotes, GMail, etc...) so as soon as I login I'm back to 95%. Downloaded SMS Backup and Restore (Play Store) and my messages/phone logs were restored in a couple min. Setup the APN for mobile data and I'm back to 100%. From there it's just setting up Nova, changing the factory theme, and reorganizing my icons into folders.
