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 ...
Hi there! would like to seek your help regarding my galaxy note, I encounter packet data on/ff and cannot connect to mobile data (internet) but my sim card is working (can send sms and call). i just put my phone yesterday to flight mode and after that it cannot able to connect to internet. I did factory reset and some wipe of cache.. is there any advice? my phone is rooted already with franco kernel (stock ICS rom only). Please help Sir.
Please do not "FACTORY RESET" , You could potentially brick your phone.
1. Try to see if you have your "DATA" on. With DATA off 3g/h/h+ will not work only wifi would.
2. Worst case scenario, take out your SIMCARD and put it back again.

Hi, Thanks for the reply,
I already did some of the basic steps, It just so happen that the history of this problem was because after I put my phone to "flight mode for about 5 hours" and the the packet data icon "3g/H" were no "DOWN arrow" color orange where as I know is a sign of good connection. but the icon only lit the "UP arrow" please help
May also be a issue with having incorrect APN information (Some carriers do not Automatically push out the right details)
Under settings> Wireless And Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
Check the listings are correct for your network.

Hi, Actually my phone's packet data was working well before I put it in "flight mode" meaning my APN settings is OK. for reference here are some of my screen shots which I edit to see the ICONS status,,thanks for the help!.
Don't know what still seems like a apn issue. Only because I would expect atleast one reply from the network during the connection discussions.
The fact that the orange arrow never lights up to me indicates that the network never gets the sent packets.
Have you tried anything like the apn on/off alps from the the playstore.
Otherwise I cannot see why having airplane mode on for a while would permanently ruin your data connection

Hi, yup but as you know some apn tweatering app is no longer feasible with ICS,
Yes, I am also not convince about after flight mode / airplane mode activation that causes my phone not to connect to the internet. I guess this is related to root bug, this was my 1st time to enable flight mode under rooted condition so I wonder that this might be the root caused. Can anyone suggest to unroot? Please advice, Thanks and Mabuhay!
Bump
Sorry to be bumping this old thready but was the OP able to ressolve the problem? I have been having exactly the same issue but only intermitantly, if I reset my phone everything is fine for a while and then all of a sudden I loose the orange arrow and will only see green.
I am unable to recieve calls or make them, no internet etc. I am on Tmobile UK now EE, have gone through the standard error checking with tmobile but no luck, first they said it was the network being down and no they say it's my phone but I don't see how it's been fine for ages and all of a sudden I have this problem.
It's totally random, I have decent reception so I have say 3g or h+ with 2 or 3 bars but no orange arrow
Any ideas?
Hi,
currently, I don't have an unlimited data plan, but switch on mobile internet on demand, for a single day. Most of the time I'm using wifi.
Now, I own my Z3C only for two weeks. Some days ago, I was travelling and thus configured and switched on mobile internet for the first time with this phone, for a single day. I am pretty sure I switched mobile internet off in the evening.
But looking into my provider's online overview today, I noticed that since then, my phone used mobile internet from time to time (about every five hours or so). The amount of data seems to be low (<1kB), but anyway, up to today that triggered four additional days of mobile internet usage without me needing that and even without me knowing that.
Can anybody explain what's going on there - and especially how to switch that behavior off?
The phone is stock, unchanged, and unrooted (all updates installed). No MMS have been sent or received. The data usage in settings does not give any helpful information.
Your not alone, im having the same problem. I haven't found any solutions nor any reference to such problem until now. I also have stock rom, hardly any additional apps, turned off automatic updates etc. But it still connects to internet, behind my back for A SECOND, sometimes in every ten minutes, sometimes once a day. A temp solution is to delete the APN settings, but this does not solve the problem.
SO CAN ANYONE HELP US?
I have a guess. It's either Anonymous data sending or phone usage. These two .apks send anonymous data to Sony, probably even using mobile data. It's a guess tough.
Nevertheless, I have removed them since I'm rooted.

You can try Onavo, but I believe those services will be masked under OS/Android, so it's hard to pinpoint them.
Also you van try the default app in > Settings, Data Usage (Mobile Data only)

In the meantime, I found a cure: Changing Settings -> Location -> Mode from "High accuracy" to "Battery Saving" immediately stopped the network access.
According to some other forum, assisted GPS is the reason, so using either "High accuracy" or "Device only" will both cause GPS to ask the mobile network for AGPS data from time to time. It is yet unclear to me why this also happens when I have an active WLAN connection.
With that knowledge, removing ",supl" from the APN type (and saving the APN afterwards!) could also disable fetching of AGPS data from the mobile network while mobile internet is switched off, but I didn't test that yet.

Hey
thanks for the update, i'm gonna try first "device only" (i had it on high accuracy) and after the APN type change and see if i get any changes.

As far as I understood things, that will not help, because "device-only" still activates GPS and thus still uses AGPS.
Did you try it already? What are your findings?

I just checked, it made no changes (device only). Today from 00.00 to (strangely) 11.00 clock, is the internet on/off count 53 times. I can see that the connections were 0 sec and 1 kB. So what now?

So i switched GPS off all together, and it seems to be working, no internet connection has been made. I also noticed that for a while the device changed the settings from device only to high accuracy itself. I deleted the ",supl" lets see what happens.
Actually the phone stopped surfing on its own before i deleted "supl" and i think the problem was google and its location history. Im going to test furder. Did you get it under control?
So, over a month has passed and i have some good and bad news. The good news is, that the problem for me has stopped(12.02), the bad news is, i don't know why. I made many changes and now i don't know what affected it. But my guess is that it was the deleting of "supl". Because in one month i had all the settings(location, battery saver etc) on and off and it didn't affect the data usage. 16.03 i got lollipop on my device and this also didn't change it back.
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.
Hi guys,
I recently bought a Oneplus 3t and everything was working fine.
But recently when I tried to connect my Wifi at work it keeps connected, but I cant browse the internet. There was a login page where I had to enter my email address, but it doesnt show up anymore when I connect to the Wifi.
I have clean installed LineageOS and then back to stock rom via ADB sideload , but still the same thing is happening. All other devices can connect to the Wifi, but when I connect my phone, I cant browse the internet. I have tried to change the IP address and DNS server as well.
When I open chrome and go to google.com it says "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET"
What does it shows in wifi settings? Do you have two lines in IP adress?

Well do what you can to figure out if it's the phone or the network
Use different devices, see if the network is up
See if the device will connect to a different network
Easiest way to narrow it down if you can
If it is the phone...cycle power, reset network settings, factory reset in that order. Or something similar

When you say cycle power, what do mean by that? And for the factory reset, should I do it through phone's setting menu and completely wipe data as well?

So as a general rule you start with options that won't lose you any data you want.
Then you go forward towards more "extreme" steps
So factory reset is basically the laymens ultimate step, and just like you described it, this comes last. Only do this if you can't connect to multiple networks and have backed up your data properly (if you don't care about your data you can do it right now tho)
Power cycling = turning device on and off, this is your first step
Next you're going to reset the network settings
Then if that doesn't work you can wipe all the data from settings as you described, but I wouldn't recommend doing that until you're sure it's your phone and not your network. Most of the time if you backup the data completely there is a possibility your'e going to restore the glitch with the good data.
Good luck

I have tried to completely wipe off all data from the phone, flashed Resurrection Remix, LineageOS and OOS 3.5.4, but I'm still having the same problem. The WiFi works for everybody else, but when I connect it shows that "Connected, no internet". It's a public WiFi and a login page needs to show, but it just asks that there is not internet and whether I'd like to stay connected. When I first got the phone it worked fine, and even showed the login page.
