Mobile data crashes when trying to receive or send an MMS - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] 3g will no longer connect

I installed CM6 onto my sister's Hero as well as my mom's Hero. My Mom's Hero works fine but my sister's will not connect to the 3g network! I have gone through and turned on/off all of the network settings and can't get it to re-enable the data services. Wifi works, calls/text work, just not the internet connection over the mobile network. I tried flashing Fresh to see if that would work and I get "Data Call Failure - Error Code 67 .Registration failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again." repeatedly. The 'Mobile Network' in the settings menu in Fresh stays stuck on "Turning on...". I don't get that error in CM6, however. I've tried reflashing/wiping as well with no luck. Is the 3g radio separate from the radio that does calls/texts? Is there a way to check it? I don't want to tell her that I broke her internet connection :/
What radio are u using on that phone? And what all have u wiped?
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
I was using the most recent radio I believe, 2.42.01.04.27, and I tried wiped everything in recovery. I continued searching for an answer and was able to find a thread that solved my problem! http://androidforums.com/sprint-her.../13197-data-call-failure-error-code-67-a.html
I just had to go into system updates in about phone and perform a 'profile update'
When I first setup her phone she couldn't remember her gmail password so we reset it and she was able to log in. I completely forgot but her 3g worked for that day! the NEXT day we noticed it wasn't working and it stayed like that for a few days until I was able to fix it now. She set up her gmail account at the sprint store when she first got her phone, could her gmail password somehow be related to her PCS username/password so that changing it screwed up her ability to login into the sprint PCS service? I'm still confused as to why this happened on her's but not on my Mom's phone, and never on my phone!
I had this happen saturday night,, running dd 2.8.. data would not start for nothing.. I nandroided back.. and all is good!!

Weird Data Problem Please Help

Ok first of all up until today my phone has been running JPY with no problems.
Now today i can use the stock browser to browse the internet but its very slow, If i use opera mobile like i have for the past few months i cant connect to any pages as it times out saying "connect to server".
Sometimes the market works sometimes it dont and its just took nearly 10 mins to download a 2mb app.
Now i have reflashed JPY using odin and still have the same problem, i have also tried a sim card from my other phone and it does the same with that so can only be the phone, I have hard reset the phone and still nothing.
Any ideas?
Also cant even download email unless i use wifi then everything is fine, Checked apn settings and they are all ok
Is it possible that the problem is caused by your service provider?

99.9% sure its nothing to do with that as my other phone on the same network works fine, as does my sim in my other phone, im certain its something to do with the phone.
I'm having this issue too.
Data only actually "works" about 1/3rd of the time, it connects as "H" (HSDPA) and occasionally drops to "3G", but doesn't consistently work.
I've tried disabling HSDPA and I get the same issues.
I've seen reports of other people with similar data issues on Gingerbread...
I don't want to go back to Froyo, but will if I can't get data working more consistently...

[Q] Can't sync data using apps

I turned on my phone this morning and tried to connect to YouTube but the connection to the server timed out. The same thing happened with all of my other apps that require a data connection except for Google+ and the browser (which will load the default Google home page and nothing else). I definitely have a data connection because there is a 3g icon in my status bar. I'm not sure if this will help. But the 3g and the signal icons are normally green but they are currently white, which has nothing to do with my location. I tried wiping the cache but it didn't work. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Thanks.
What's your phone set up (rom or any tweaks). Usually if your running a 2.3 rom the white means that your not connected through ur gmail or google talk i believe. Check your settings go to settings>account&sync> make sure background data is checked.

Can you make phone calls? If you try and call and get a message saying "error 16", you will need to call sprint and have them reset you to a tower. I've had to do this twice recently. Check to see if your PRL reverted to an older one. I tried to just do an update of the PRL, but that didn't work...had to call Sprint. You will need to be on a Sense Rom in order for the process to work. I use/d a NFX version.
If not, do the advice from above to make sure that your data is turned on and that things are syncing properly.
I can make phone calls and my PRL is 60665 but I have no idea whether or not that's outdated. I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3, so if I need to call sprint I'll just flash the stock HTC Hero ROM and Sense UI that's on their website. Background data is checked but once I had the problem, I've turned off all data connections because they drain battery and they're useless to me at the moment.

[Q] No data connection - Phone or network?

Ok, first up - Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM, custom kernel (HydraCore v4.3), nothing changed on phone recently prior to this occurring.
Some time during the night (presumably) my Note has decided it does not work when it comes to mobile data. On waking I found the stock weather widget had not updated, the stock browser would not load any pages and the Facebook app said could not connect. Over wifi, these all work fine. Calls and SMS work fine. The weird thing is the status bar indicates I'm connected to H+, H, or 3G, and the upstream and downstream indicator arrows light up whenever an app tries to access the net as though all is fine. I find it odd that this has happened without anything being changed or touched on the phone, and with it working flawlessly for months with the current setup.
The website for my provider indicates no faults located either at home or work, could this still be network related?
Short of loading ICS again, I've tried everything I can think of. Cycle power, double check and toggle all data/network settings, reset APN, etc.
Just thought I'd check here for any ideas or a simple fix I may be overlooking before I go flashing ROMS (which may or may not fix it).
Thanks for any help,
Nick
Did you try with another sim card dude.

That might be an EFS partition corrupt, go to settings >> about device >> status >> IMEI
see if your IMEI is there or not

[Q] CM10 and no connection to internet

Hello all,
I flashed CM10.0 a few weeks ago and everything was working fine up until 2 days ago, now my I9000 won't connect to the internet at all. I was using Easy Battery Saver which cancels the data signal everytime the phone is idle, but this stopped turning the connection on. I uninstalled it hoping the phone would revert back to normal but can't get connected. I restored the app hoping it would pick up the settings again but still no joy.
I have wiped everything including user data and the caches, done a factory reset and reflashed the rom. The signal did return for about 30 minutes after the flash but the connection has since died again. I've tried switching on the roaming and national roaming, also no luck.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this or even how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

I am just guessing, but as from what I understand you uninstalled the application when you were not having the internet connection working. Right? The correct settings have possibly remained overwritten (some applications block the outgoing data traffic by changing the connection settings). Give APNDroid a try and if unsuccessful try going to your phone operator webpages and find the correct connection settings.
I am using CM10 with APNDroid which works fine. However sometimes I cannot connect to 3G as well. Switching the APNDroid on/off couple of times or rebooting solves the issue.

Thanks for the response mate. You guessed right, APNDroid hasn't fixed it and I haven't been able to find APN settings other than the one that is already in my phone. Might reverting to stock solve the issue? My contract is up at the end of the month so I could handle living with GB until then .
Hi again, reverting back will definitely not solve the issue. From what you had said I understand that the internet settings are somewhat messed up.
These settings are bound to your SIM card. By up/downgrading ROM these remain.
Could you check if your APN settings are correct (I assume you need to check with your provider).
Good luck and keep us informed.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Just found the APN settings online. Reset my APN and it looks to be working. I'll keep an eye on it just in case but I think either the ROM or the App messed up the user/password on the APN.
Hopefully it's all fixed. Thanks for all the help.
first try apn tweaker from market then if no luck what worked for me
1 flash darkyrom 10.2 re
2 alliancerom jw4
3 then jw8
