This is not a question, but an answer... Just in case anyone has the same problem as me.
I have just rooted & upgraded to FRF85B, when going through the set up I was advised to switch on wi-fi as I had no data connection, after setup & sync I still had no 3G. I checked, deleted & entered my APN again & again. Nothing
So I tried a few custom roms, with exactly the same problem.
After a nandroid back to the stock rom I searched & found a reference to the "Testing Menu" in an archive from this very forum no less
Then I remembered a similar problem with my old Hero.
The thread suggested changing the "set preferred Network Type" to WCDMA, but this I presume is for american handsets.
What I did instead was change it to "GSM auto (PRL)" & within a few seconds.. WHAM! FULL 3G
Seems that UK roms have this already changed by networks, but this universal one didn't
Any U.K. users watch out for this one, it's been driving me round the twist for about 3 hours
So to sum up:
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your keypad
In testing menu select "phone Information"
Scroll down to the bottom
Set preferred network type to " GSM auto (PRL) "
Wait for your 3G signal
press back arrow to exit out
Problem solved !!
I just received my Nexus One which I ordered through the Google Developer program (Brightstarcorp) and I'm not able to get it working with the Bell Mobility network for either voice or data
I have a signal bars on my N1 with a Bell Mobility SIM card but it dosen’t works.
When I slide down the notification bar it say "Bell" and try this to get it working.
I have tried all solutions and have the recommended settings on the phone (also running Froyo 2.2.1-Build number : FRG83).
- I tried my SIM to another Bell phone and it works.
- I tried another Bell SIM in my N1 and it did not work.
- I'm using an active data plan card not a prepaid card.
But it works with Rogers or Fido
I tried the following :
1.Go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators: after about 1 minute I see network the currently available Bell
I click on Bell and see a signal not working.
2. Go to the dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* this bring a hidden menu
3. tap on "Phone Information" It list the current network as Bell and also showing the IMEI and the Phone number. The IMEI and phone number are correct.
4. Hit the menu button and press "Select radio band" and click on "Automatic" .
5. Still not working I make sure radio band is set to "Automatic" then go back to the previous screen and scroll all the way to the bottom. Click under "set preferred network type" and choose through until I find one that works 1. WCDMA preffered or WCDMA only or GSM auto (PRL) it takes a few seconds from the time I click until the settings take place, just watch the signal bar at the top of the screen until it changes. Even try the "unknown" network type at the bottom of the list if the others don't work.
All the above fails.
For those of you out there who have successfully activated the Nexus One on the Bell network could you let me know which version of the phone you have.
Thanks for your suggestions.
well i am sorry to say but i dont think that the phone will work with Bell. the dev phones as far as i know are all AWS. so the only way it is going to work is if you get a rogers sim and use it on edge or a wind/moblicity sim and you can use 3G. bell does not have an edge network to back up on.
That's true. Bell/Telus has only the 3g network. The developer phone will not work. It will use edge/2g on Rogers/Fido. And will be fully supported on Wind or Mobilicity.
Nexus One with a Bell Mobility it dosen’t works!!
About Videotron?
Thanks
Hello,
i've just upgraded to the latest official OTA FW 3.08.405.3
Sense3.0 is great, but i cannot turn on mobile network anymore - i tried it both via Quick settings and Wireless settings menus - it cannot be enabled. And even worts is that it doesn't report any error msg and the 3G sign doesn't appear on status bar. There is noting in the log too...
Does anyone has the same problem?
I just wrote a mail to HTC support, but don't know if they track this as support channel...
This is terrible - i can't live without mobile network connection ...please help!

This might sound weird, but is there anything in APN setting?
Try to mess with the toggles. I have had similar problem. I constantly turned airplane mode on/off and switched from GSM to WCDMA. Finally it goes, if this isn't related to apn. Hope i helped.
10x a lot guys !
it didn't recover APN settings after upgrade
I previously checked them, and assumed that check-box is selected, but actually it was not. It should be colored in green, but actually it was in grey
Unable to re-enable Mobile Network for data-only SIM Japan -- possible bug?
Having a similar problem, some more details:
PHONE:
I am using an unlocked (but unrooted) Incredible S from Virgin Mobile Canada with a data-only BMobile SIM in Japan (runs on DoCoMo's network apparently). Android 2.3.3 (Virgin Canada circa August 2011).
PROBLEM:
Mobile Network intermittently gets disabled and cannot be re-enabled normally. APN is fine, SIM card (phone number) is still detected. Toggling Airplane Mode or Wireless Network does not work, Select Automatically returns "unable to connect, try again later", Search Networks and choosing DoCoMo returns "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".
SOLUTION:
Only reproducible solution is to remove data-only SIM, insert voice&data SIM (from my SoftBank phone), now Mobile Network is available so re-enable it, power down and replace data-only SIM. Once restarted Mobile Network automatically enables. Obviously this is not a convenient fix.
Once was fixed by randomly hitting network settings in frustration, but I have not been able to reproduce this solution.
OBSERVATION:
When on wireless, Mobile Network is also greyed out. When Wireless Network is disabled, Mobile Network automatically enables properly (for the most part, at least once I suspect it did not).
Thus I feel like it's a bug, either in OS or DoCoMo's network, but BMobile and HTC both point the finger at each other and have no useful suggestions for me.
ASIDE:
I hear Android 2.3.5 is available for Incredible S, perhaps this fixes the problem. However, this update has not appeared in my updater -- is it possible that because I'm unlocked I've lost access to the update server?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
mobile network disconnected
Have also the same problem, tried all the above suggestions but none works. Phone only shows limited service but with x on the signal bar. BUt when i try to tap the sim tool kit, it displays "SIM toolkit not ready or unsupported".
Hope somebody here can help me. Thanks

Hello,
I recently updated my Z3 compact (D5803) to android 5.1.1. on the T-Mobile network here in NYC. Ever since then, I frequently lose the ability to do anything data-based with the phone. No web browing, no chatting on whatsapp. I can still make phone calls and send/receive SMS, however. The data functionality returns when on WiFi, but goes away once I switch back to LTE. In order for me to get data on LTE, I have to manually download the internet settings for my provider to my phone (this is located under the Settings menu in android). Even then, it only lasts for several minutes before the data connection is lost. T-Mobile was unable to fix the problem, and changing the SIM card didn't resolve the issue.
Anyone else experience this?
Yes, many others have the same problem, see various posts in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/discussion-5-1-1-stock-released-post-t3162309
Currently, the best workaround seems to be to disable and re-enable mobile data, or to go to airplane mode and back again. That solves the issue until you drop LTE connection the next time, then you will have to re-iterate.

Yes I am having the exact same problem since updating to 5.1.1. As the other reply says turning airplane mode off then on is the quickest way to get connectivity back (swipe down twice from the top for quick access). This is terribly frustrating though, it only lasts for a few minutes. I can't believe they pushed the update with this issue!

My phone had this issue after the over the air update. I reset the phone to factory, wiped all data. Two days on, now, and no more problems with this.
Same problem. I tried factory reset out of desperation, but it didn't work.
Love this phone, but very discouraged by this bug.
(I'm on t-mobile in Seattle, fwiw)

As posted in the other thread, there is now a fix/workaround:
From reddit user FishStik5: Going into the APN settings and changing the APN protocol to iPv4 only (it was iPv6 before) seems to fix the problem.
How to find the setting: Settings-> Wirelessa and Network / more -> Mobile networks -> APN -> T-mobile data -> APN protocol -> Set to IPv4.

Looks like this worked for me (T-mobile, San Francisco area). Thanks for posting this
i'm having the same problem and didn't work for my the ipv4. still loosing data, i have to reboot the phone
I have also problem with that (Orange, Poland). I sent my phone to official Sony service, they reload the software, but I still have that problem. Lte is working for a while and when my phone switches to wcdma (because it is not in a range of lte) it is not working either. However, when I change the preferred network from lte to wcdma it is working without any issues.
Same problem here although I'm on ipv4 [emoji34]
Sent from my Z3 Compact
I thınk you shouldnt buy operator phones. Buy ınternatıonal models next tıme
Mine isn't an operator model, I'm using Straight Talk and also have the issue. It made my phone useless....I almost never have data
This worked for me
This worked on my Doogee Valencia2 Y100Pro
Install and Open app "Hidden Android Settings" (by 0Alex)
Select choose and open "RadioInfo"
Move to Last option "TOGGLE DNS CHECK"
mine read "0.0.0.0 not allowed"
press the "TOGGLE DNS CHECK" so that it displays "0.0.0.0 Allowed"
That's it - my mobile data worked, I hope it works for yo

1. Change "APN Protocol" to IPv4
2. Change "APN Type" to: "default,supl" only
3. Change "APN" to "internet"
4. Save.
Best, Martin.

this is a bug on 5.1.1 sony need to fix it
Any news with this issue?
No problem here with LTE on the CM 12.1 Cyanogenmod flavor of 5.1.1 on T-mobile (that I've noticed at least). But I think CM 12.1 may handle the APN settings differently (mine is set to T-Mobile LTE ipV4) from the stock ROM or it could be something Sony messed up from the AOSP code. I'm NOT suggesting anyone try a CM ROM as a solution as there are lots of downsides to unlocking your phone and flashing any non-stock ROM. But the problem does seem to be specific to the Sony ROM and not 5.1.1 in general.
I also have this problem after the update to 5.1.1 in the Netherlands. The first problem was that the update changed some mobile data settings, so I downloaded the settings from my provider. Unfortunately those settings were also incorrect as I had to manually remove the APN's Proxy and Port (they were set, be needed to be 'not set'/empty). This improved the connection a bit, but it still looses the mobile data at certain places (where the coverage is good). Did a factory reset as the Sony helpdesk suggested. For a few days this seemed to help, but again the same issue came up. The suggested solution mentioned in this thread did not work as those settings are already applied.
I have a profider (Telfort) which uses another provider's network (KPN's). So after the update I also see a annoying R in the signal icon, where in the previous version it always showed H+, H, 3G.
Does anyone know if this is resolved in the new update?
After the last update and a new reconfiguracion on the APN now work correct for me.

And which version are you on? 23.4.A.1.200 or 23.4.A.1.232?
Hi,
I've got a big issue with Concept Software.
There's no LTE connection available.
I'm using latest Concept Edition 3571 on my D5803.
Any ideas how to solve?
LTE is working on Concept ROM
Is your APN correct?
Yes, APN settings should be ok.
With stock rom LTE was working properly.
Any other ideas?
I had the same problem at the beginning.
How it solved: went into service menu: *#*#SERVICE#*#* and chose LTE only.
After that, I could use the regular user interface choice and has worked ever since.

I've got the same issue on T-Mobile, with build number MMB29V.Z1.3571-somc. I tried the fix you suggested through the SERVICE menu and selected LTE only, but that just resulted in my phone displaying as no reception. Any other ideas anyone might have would be greatly appreciated!
What setting do you have at Wireless & networks / More / Cellular networks / Preferred network type? I have "LTE (recommended)", and my phone connects at LTE if available (with "LTE" displayed at the top) , but at older protocols if not.
Thanks for your replies but the SERVICE menu hint also doesn't work for me.
Seems that I've got the same problem as hwcl.
