so i installed a lollipop global lte version on my z1 cause australia doesnt have it yet, the network works and everything, but it just wont turn on data, like i can turn the toggle on but it never actually works? Had the same issue with bluetooth and clearing the cache fixed that.
How can i fix this? any ideas?
THANKS!
If you are connected to a WiFi network go to: settings, more, Internet settings and that option will auto-configure your APN'S. If doesn't work go to: settings, more, Mobile networks, Access points names and configure manually

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 ...
I have managed to get andriod onto my compact v, but everytime i switch it off windows comes back on, is this normal??? Also it wont let me connect to the internet either by wifi or my data connection. can someone help?
many thanks
This is all normal: all versions are still in beta development, wifi and 3g work with latest builds.
Windows is still the main operating system that gets started when you turn on the phone. You can make it quickly switch to Android by using Gen.Y dual boot. You can find that on the forum here.
You're data problem may be caused by the wrong setting for cdma in your startup.txt. Follow the instructions in the beginning of this thread and on xdandroid.com closely.

Same here.
Korrekt APN Setting appleid.
STARTUP.TXT as well contains ppp.username ppp.password ppp.apn settings.
With force_cdma=1 no connect to any network. Even GSM doesn't work.
With force_cdma=0 GSM Works but no 3G/2G Connections. WiFi as well.
Alright guys, for fixing the wifi issue, before booting haret.exe switch "on" the wifi in WinMo. For 2g/3g data connection try to apply in android the APN settings and restart android, if this is not working try enabling airplane mode and disabling it.
I often use *#*#4636#*#* to enable/disable data connection and it works great for me. But in a nice day, I also disabled auto sync and background data in [Account and sync] settings then I can't enable the data connection via *#*#4636#*#* any more!! .
pressed [Enable data connection] but nothing changes, so I cant use 3G though Wifi still works!
anyone has this issues before? Please give me advice.

ur not the only one
i am in the same boat as u
nothing seems to get it back
wifi works fine
There is a use packet data checkbox under settings, wireless and network, mobile networks. It should be checked.
By default, I keep my mobile data on. When I switch Wifi on, it would override the mobile data, and when I switch Wifi off, it would resume mobile data, and this is working perfectly without needing me to manually switch mobile data on/off. I guess this is the general behavior of Android device.
However, recently I tried some apps to switch mobile data on/off, and it must be one of these apps which changed the network connectivity priority. What happen now is that when my mobile data is on, I cannot turn on Wifi (well, wifi is on, but it won't connect to any ssid, and just show Disabled), so i must manually switch the mobile data off that I can use Wifi.
This so annoying, and I have been searching for solutions but can't find any.
Since those apps I tried do not require root access, I guess i could revert to originally settings without root, but I couldn't find any options in system settings about network connectivity priority.
Experts please help!
After some more search, I found that one of these apps must have used "setNetworkPreference" to change the preference from TYPE_WIFI to TYPE_MOBILE.

But i'm not android programmer, i have no idea how I can reset it to default.
Any help would be much appreciated.
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.
