Just got the Tilt a couple days ago and didnt hesitate to go ahead and put duttys 2k8 rom on. The radio is 1.127.12.11. Ive got 3g/hsdpa in my area, and was working just fine. Until last night, all i get is edge. My roomate has 3g and its working just fine on his phone, but all day nothing for me no matter what i try. i installed a couple of programs but nothing that should mess with the internet. Maybe it was something Kaiser Tweak done, that would be the only thing i could think of messing with the phone?
I find it weird to just stop all of a sudden, anybody know registry settings or maybe att settings that may have accidentally gotten changed? I have searched all last night and day and have gotten nowhere. Thanks.
I'd say that if you haven't done much to it yet, do a backup, then a HARD reset. See if it works stock, then restore your backup. This might be the quickest way to see if it's something you did. There are settings in kaiser tweak, and comm manager, and possibly even phone settings that can force the phone to EDGE.
Good Luck
Tried the hard reset already, but it was a no go. I set everything in kaiser tweak to default even, but nothing. Can there be something in the registry forcing it to stay edge?
Under phone settings, do you have your band set to auto, gsm, or wcdma? i normally leave my settings to gsm, unless i plan on browsing the net, then i switch to wcdma for the 3g/H speeds, then switch back to edge when i'm done.

ive had it on auto since ive had it and it worked just fine. But i just changed it to wcdma (which took like 2 min of a wait screen) and now it works! Something so easy, i feel stupid. Am i going to have to switch it back and forth in 3g/gsm only areas? I thought it was supposed to pick up 3g over edge if you have 3g on?
thanks zeta
heh, no clue really. when i originally got the phone, this was my solution to make calls/texts. it would spend so much time switching on auto that i'd never get to complete a call or receive sms. i eventually switched radios (.19, and now on .32), thinking that it would help. i've read speculation that it is also related to carrier hardware issues. I figure manually switching between gives me the best battery life. there are a few cabs floating about that do the switching for you, if you are so inclined, but i like manually seeing that it gets done...
glad my days of frustration eventually helped someone...
Hi. I just bought a new galaxy s from vodafone, but when i tried to use a 3g data connection it just won't work. it works fine with wi-fi connection but if i turn that off (or if i don't use it at all) the phone just won't connect to the internet. i've double checked the apn settings...is there an option to turn the data connection on and i'm just not seeing it? please help...
sometimes it helps to restart the phone
or switch it to airplane mode then back
Did that
i've read other posts for other type of connection problems and i did what u said...nothing...it just doesn't even try to connect...
do you have any other SIM card from friends/family that you can try?
just wondering if it's related to your SIM account, or if it's defective phone
if it is working over wifi there is still something wrong with apn settings or your sim card.. i doubt it is the phone itself.. or you are in an area with no 3g edge.. or wrong phone ie t mobile vibrant on bell or att network

yes! that's a good point, totally forgot about the bands issue.
Thank you
I would like to thank all of u who tried to help me... when i was at work today i've changed the sim card with another one with internet on it and it worked so i called vodafone and stuck to my oppinion that it was their fault and finnaly i came across a guy who saw that my account settings were not correct. now it is working. thanks..
thanks for the update
glad to hear you are back online
yes phone companies do mess up very often in our accounts
just yesterday i was complaining to my phone company about something similar
I flashed Andromeda 3 2 days ago with Darkfire theme. I love this ROM and theme except for one problem. The coverage I get doesnt show 3G. It just has the bars. I can send text messages and phone fine, but when I try and email someone, or try and use GPS or the internet, I cant because it says I have no network coverage. Can anyone help?
This happened with me when I installed Andromeda 2 a couple months ago and was the reason I installed something else.
bad APN or you have Data turned off in your Power menu. Check your APN and make sure its registering on the network

How do I go about checking the APN and making sure the data is turned on. Im a newb
Hold your power button for a couple of seconds and the 2nd menu item down will tell you if the data network is activated or not.
As far as the APN, I think that you could check that under settings--wireless and networks--mobile networks. I'm sure someone will let me know if I'm wrong about that
Please use the sticky, that's what they're here for.
What the poster above me said. On that note, thread closed.
I bought an AT&T Galaxy Tab. I confirmed when I received it, data worked, and then discontinued my service.
In the meantime I flashed to Overcome ROM, flashed to JPD to enable phone calls, brought it to Canada and used it there with a Canadian GSM provider, and now am trying to reconnect my AT&T service.
I activated my AT&T service about an hour ago, and everything seemed to be fine. I received the welcome to AT&T text message. However, it just won't connect to any data of any sort.
I've reflashed the modem to JPA, which I've seen people say works on AT&T, without any change.
I've installed the AT&T data usage widget, and it says "No Network Available or SIM could not be verified".
My APN settings by default were set with everything normal except for an empty password compared to what I found online. I tried setting a password and no effect.
Under Settings => About device => Status it shows Mobile network state as either Disconnected or Connecting.
Settings => Wireless and network => Mobile networks => Use packet data is unchecked, and whenever I try and change it, it will change to "Turning on..." and then after a few seconds it will change back to unchecked.
All of the Samsung related data connection toggles like on the pull-down windowshade or on the long press of power act like they're changing something instantly, but have no effect.
Anyone have any ideas on what's gone wrong here?
Someone stated earlier that their tab was kicked off of the network as well. I would try a series of restarts to see if the problem persists. If it does, try contacting at&t directly.
I Haz 3D!

I've restarted it about a million times in the past hour. I'll give contacting AT&T a try, hopefully it won't come up that I'm missing something from the stock ROM.
Called AT&T, they knew absolutely nothing, and couldn't help at all.
I suppose I'll try flashing a few more modems, including stock, and then I suppose I might have to reflash to completely stock if that doesn't fix it.
Try the sim card in another phone. They might not have apportioned it correctly.
Any modem will get you at least voice and EDGE, so don't worry about that now.
I have wap.cingular apn for a voice and data plan.

Hmm I'll see if I can dig something up. However, I'm a little unclear on what will happen because this is the $15 AT&T Tablet data plan, and at best I might be able to scrounge up a phone.
The sim card automatically entered wap.cingular apn on my tablet plan as well.
I was soo excited when I found this thread. This is clearly my situation exactly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1083173.html
I was using the voice APN on a data plan. I deleted all the old APNs, created a new one that is just Broadband/Broadband for name/APN. Rebooted.
Hit connect, and.....it's still screwed up. Now it flickers back and forth on the status page between Connecting and Connected, and the status bar up top reflects the same - I'll see the H with arrows for a half second, and then it'll disappear again.
On the Mobile networks page, Use packet data now similarly flickers between checked on its own and unchecked and gray.
Okay, no idea why, but everything works now.
After Broadband failed to work, I tried changing it to APN Broadband. That didn't work either, so I changed it back to Broadband. Things then started semi-working in that the connection was still flickering on and off, but when it was on, data was actually being transferred.
I rebooted, and now it's fully working. Hope it stays that way. Seems to shift back and forth between H and 3G a lot considering I'm in the middle of a city with full bars not moving, but other than that, all seems well.
It would have been good to know about 1,000 word ago you only have the $15 broadband sim!
Apn is: ATT BROADBAND, and nothing else.

Hmm I have it set as Broadband, not ATT BROADBAND, and it's working for now so I ain't touch it.
Are people able to activate an AT&T Galaxy Tab on anything but the broadband sims?
Yes, I have voice and 3g data by ising a sim from my old android phone.
The short:
I changed the "Select radio band" setting in the test menu (*#*#info#*#*) and it screwed things up.
I wiped and reflashed CM12.1 - but it didn't reset that setting (it's still borked).
Does anyone know where it stores that setting, or how to reset it somehow?
The long:
Initially in CM12.1 I was having problems staying on LTE - it always fell back to 3G and stayed there.
So tried this band change that someone who had the same problem suggested.
Now, every option I try is great for LTE but says "cellular network not available" and I can't make calls.
The exception is "Cellular" which I can make calls but only get 1X data.
These are the options in the menu:
"JAPAN Band (WCDMA-800/WCDMA-IMT-2000)"
"USA Band (GSM-850/PCS-1900/wCDMA-850/WCDMA-PCS-1900)"
"Cellular (800-MHz)"
"PCS (1900-MHz)"
I don't know what it was before and I can't see figure out how to tell what it currently is set to.
I just want to flash back to stock so things work again, but if this setting doesn't get reset then I don't know if that will work anyway.
Any chance settings like that are stored on the SIM card?

Worth a shot, but doesn't seem to have helped.

I seemed to have luck when I made the changes according to this post and then immediately ran the ping test. I don't know if the ping test really did anything to help but I've had cell service since following these steps.

Unfortunately that's what I did initially. The setting in that link ("Cellular") made my calls work, but I could only get 1X data.
So somehow by just flashing and reflashing different things (including failing to reflash to stock), it's back to where it was when I started.... which sucks, but is at least useable. Calls work and data works, but the first time it has to drop back from LTE to 3G, it get stuck in 3G forever (until airplane mode). Super sucks since it's my primary home router tethered. I have to airplane mode like 5 times a day.
Just in case someone else ran into this problem, I ended up getting a new sim from Verizon and everything's working now finally. It still says "000000" when it's in 3G, but I don't care about that - it works and it goes back to LTE when it can, rather than staying on 3G forever.
Works for Moto X play - should work for others too..
I too did the same mistake. Changed my Band to "USA" and couldn't restore to previous despite Factory reset.
The SIM 1 went into 4G data only (No voice) , didn't recognize 2G & 3G network for any sim.
However Sim 2 worked fine for 2G,3G & 4G.
i came across a thread in XDA, and after breaking my head over how to execute it, I finally did it.
I have written a brief guide to it. Here's the link.
