I picked up a Legend from Virgin Mobile to use with Fido. Had it unlocked through mobileincanada.com
I played around with the network settings and can't get it to pick up a network. I get a message that says "error while searching for networks", and when i click select network automatically it says "your sim card does not allow connections to this network"
When i put my sim card back into my old phone everything is fine.
Any ideas????
I have exactly the same problem, and it happens more often when roaming.
Solutions are: rebooting the phone or manually selecting the network
PS: I've seen this happening on my father's desire too
I've tried both solutions but it still doesn't work. I need to get this phone going, not sure if i can return it since i have unlocked it.
Could it be that my sim card is the problem. I currently have an Nokia e71 with a data plan that it works with......
I know you can take an unlocked phone and put it in virgin, it has the instructions for how to do it on the virgin website.
Maybe call up fido and ask what you need to do to hook your unlocked phone onto their network.
This is what you need to put an unlocked phone on to virgin so I assume you'll need these 3 things from fido.

thanks for the help it worked!!!
Man i just thought i had bad luck. Weird thing is that i had tried a bunch of different settings and would reboot. Didn't work, i seriously must have tried 20 diff settings and combinations. What worked was one that im sure i must have tried 5 times already. After a reboot it just worked
this is what i used
apn: internet.fido.ca
and everything else default or blank

Hi guys,
I just go my SIM unlock code from T-Mobile to unlock my MT3G.
I turn the device off, put in a AT&T Pay As You Go SIM card.
Start the phone again to input the unlock code but here is the funny thing, the unlock screen never shows.
It just loads Android with no service showing.
The phone was rooted but I un-rooted it back to 1.5 to see if that might have been the problem but nope still no unlock screen.
Anyone know what I might be doing wrong? I thought it might be the AT&T SIM card but it works great on other unlocked phones so I'm not sure what is wrong here.
TIA

Are you sure you can use a pay as you go sim?
If the AT&T Prepaid Samsung GoPhone A137 is not a GoPhone then I don't know what one is...

i think you have to put in the att apn turn it on touch the android and push the menu button it should say new apn the put it in as follows
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular

MNC:410
APN Type: leave blank
it should work now
and did you activavte te sim card first? if not call att and do it
The APN settings don't work, as I can't even get the phone to recognize the SIM card, because the phone is still locked under T-Mobile.
The SIM card has been activated as mentioned before. I can use it on other unlocked phones. And that wouldn't even matter like I said before I can't even get to the SIM/phone unlock screen to unlock the phone so that I can use the AT&T SIM card.
Let's just make this clear, I'm trying to unlock the phone so that I can use the AT&T SIM card or any other SIM cards.
The SIM/phone unlock screen should pop up before the desktop/main screen comes on.

Has anyone had this problem found a solution? I have searched and the only thing that I could find is this thread but there isn't any solution. I have the unlock code but it doesn't ask for the code, it just shows no sim. Thanks
Hi Folks,
My issue is with a new HD2 TMous. I purchased it "unlocked" and was able to slap my ATT sim card in and make/receive calls. At first the edge network wasnt working but I was able to add the att wap.cingular into the winmo connections and get edge. After a couple restarts and setting up mail accounts/ importing sim contacts edge stopped working. I thought I just needed to fix the apn again so I popped froyostone2.2 in and was happy with the look. When I tried to setup the APN in android I found the MCC and MNC were auto setting to 310 and 560. I popped in some known working settings (called ATT to confirm) and just could not get my phone to connect to edge again. Each time I set the MNC to 410 (settings from another ATT local customer) my APN would clear out. I tried the set it up and restart and set it up again trick with no luck. Sometimes the connection comes up but thats all just the up arrrow in the indicator blinks and no traffic is sent.
Tried:
-Differnt Winmo rom
-Differnt Android rom
-3 Different radio roms
Looking for help with:
-Anyway to force the MNC to go to and stay at 410? Is this a hardware limitation with these phones?
-Anyone else running HD2 TMous in Alaska with working Edge?
-Could my hardware be scrambled? I didnt get an unlock code from the last owner, can I factory reset it an still use my sim? Will it wipe out the unlock?
I need the phone and willing to buy an unlock code if thats what it takes but I'd like to know a "rebuild" is what it needs before I dig deeper and what that entails.
Thanks a thousand times folks for any help!
Is there any special things to do to have the tab connected to Bell's 3G network when you want to use self service data plan? My SIM card was activated, they gave me my tab's phone # and ''all'' I need to do is to access the self service thing using the tab... the thing is when trying to access the self service I received an error message saying that I must be connected to the 3G network in order to have access to the self service.
I've spent 1h45min on the phone last night with Bell to try to have the Tab connect to the 3G network with no success Even worst, the guy made me do a factory reset otherwise he would not continue troubleshooting the tab... so now I'm back to square 1 and still no 3G network.
Bell's CSR told me to go to a Bell's store to try another SIM card to see if it works and if not to return to tab because it's defective The thing is I went to 2 different Bell's store and they don't know sh*t about the SGT.
Turn off WiFi, it only works if you're connected to the HSPA network.
With WiFi off, are you able to connect to teh internets at all, or are you just having a problem using the Self Serve application?
We did try turning the wifi off, no internet connection and no self service thing. All I get is an error message saying that I must be connected to the internet to access the web lol...I know that...that's what we are trying to do.
Bell's tech said that when the SIM card is insert I should see a 3G icon somewhere on the top right side of the screen near the battery and network bar graph thing but I don't see such icon.
He also said that his system see my SIM card on the network but there's just no data going back/forth from the network and my tab.
Did you set your APN for Bell?
I bet you didnt!
It might sound dumb but I really don't know how to do this more over I hope that it's something that I we've look with the Bell's tech???
**edit** looking under ''edit access point'' all field seem ok except for user name, password and server which all show as ''not set''

check to back sure it is the same, then reboot tab and test.
rmanaudio : My APN was already setup the same way as in your reply. I did add a new one again using the same values, rebooted and still nothing.
Try creating a second APN in that menu, call it anything you want.. just ensure it has a Name and an APN value inside (the rest can be blank).
Then move the radio button selector to the new APN you created.
Wait 30 seconds, then move the radio selector back to the Bell APN.
If your Bell account is properly set up to allow a data connection, you should see 3G appear at the top.
If not, call Bell back, ensure data is enabled on your account.
Problem solved!!
Well, case closed, everything's working perfectly now The lady who did the activation of my SIM card in the 1st place forgot to check the ''tablet'' option for the SIM card
Just sad that I've lost so much time on the phone with Bell's tech support and nobody ever look there.
Now I need to download/reinstall everything I had
Hi All,
Justy recieved my unlocked Atrix 4G, My understanding is that these guys are meant to be next G compatible.
Set it all up, all is working fine, bar the next G network, I can make and recieve calls, access the net through WiFi but no net access through the carrier.
Tried everything, any help.
Thanks in advance
did you try and set the APN?
http://ausdroid.net/apns/
im using my atrix in australia too, but im on the virgin/optus network. i can get my internet data to work.
Thanks abe1990.
I whent through all this with my previous Desire, but for the life of me, cant remember where to access the info i need from.
Just rebooted the device, notsure why i didn't try earlier, all seems to be fine now.
Thanks
Yeh was just about to add - I'm using an Atrix on Telstra no worries. Seems you were just missing the APNs
You can use the Telstra configure page to ensure you get all the APN's correct.
http://configure.telstra.com.au/telstra/index.jsp
It will download the config file to your phone - no need to manually edit.
Hey guys,
little more interesting now. I tried to send an sms, and its telling me that you need to enter a valid number. Im guessing it has something to do with country settings of some soret howver not sure?
Thanks
so i have done the updates successfully, yet still the same message, i have notices when i input the number it appears like a US number, i.e 111-111-1111. not sure if this is the issue.
Thanks for that guys. I have done the auto set up through telstra and all seems to be working. The problem now is that when sending sms i must add +61 in front of all numbers otherwise it doesn't recognise and says invalid number. Is there a setting for this, a can't seem to find anything.
Unusual, im not having a problem. Maybe try downloading MoreLocale 2 off the market, it changes all your regional settings to Australia. Add EN AU to the app. It may help..
Hey, how is your data coverage on the go with telstra, I'm on virgin here and its good if your standing under a tower (five_six mb/s) but on a train line or anywhere else it barely manages to update facebook.

I'll have to give more local a go and keep you posted. As for Data coverage with Telstra, I have now been through all the networks and I find it by far the best. Carparks, lifts, city everywhere really, a little pricer but worth it.
Hey guys I just go my Atrix today, I can't seem to get my phone to connect on the Next G network. If I do it always come up with a error everytime I turn my phone on and off, it always ask me to try and select another carrier. Plus I don't get the Telstra Newtork on the notification bar its just blank. However if I hit cancel it will let me stay on the Next G network but when I call or recieve a call for Next G numbers it crashes my phone and forces it to reboot. Just wanted to know if anyone else is having this problem or is it just me.
The only way I have worked around this is using the 3Telstra network, which kinda sucks cause I need the the Next G coverage.
Any one having issues with the mobile hotspot. At first every time i went to use it would have to change the mobile APN auth type to get it to connect.
Now after upgrading to .57 i keep getting the u need to pay at&t to use this msg. Any thoughts
Im on telstra and have had the phone 3 weeks
Got mine last week from Bell Canada, and after setting the APN's, running so sweetly on Optus HSDPA.
Mine doesn't suffer from the random muffled voice issues the AT&T phones are experiencing. The Bell Canada phone doesn't loose any APN or carrier settings on reboot.
Theoretically with the 850Mhz band support it should work on Telstra NextG, but who knows. Sounds like AT&T are severely locking down their phones. Glad I got mine from Bell (and logo free)
Hey buddy. I'm on Telstra as well. Call them on 125880 and follow the prompts until you speak to someone. They will text you an update with all the settings. I literally just did that 5 minutes ago

cheetah2k, how is your phone working on optus?
Downloads don't work for me when im on 3g, only H and 3. (i'm on tpg)
I'm guessing the phone doesn't have support for it...
Where you guys get your unlock phone from? i m interested in getting one for use in SG

No doubt it depends on the area you're in, some areas will support 900Mhz only which the Atrix doesn't have.
On the south side of Brisbane, I've yet to have a situation where it drops out of H+ for data. What APN settings are you using?
dio, i bought my phone unlocked from negrielectronics so they sent me the code.
AusDroid suggested:
TPG Mobile – Internet
Name: TPG Internet
APN: internet
Proxy: 203.139.83.152
Port: 8070
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC:
MMS Proxy:
MMS Port:
MMS Protocol:
MCC: 505
MNC: 02
APN Type: default
That didn't work for me so all i did was create one, give it a name and save it. So my APN only has the default settings, i.e MCC: 505, MNC: 02.
I do drop from H quite often in Sydney city, I then have to wait until it finds H again. Maybe there is someway so it doesn't attempt to connect to 3g?
thks... will check out the site. btw is it a at&t branded phone?
So, I will start by giving information that is hopefully relevant.
I moved from Verizon to Straight Talk w/ a Straight Talk SIM card for Verizon towers. My phone is rooted, and bootloader unlocked (15 emmc).
I am currently using a custom ROM CM13 (Official Build Nightlies current ROM is from 4-27-2016)
I started Straight talk about 1 week ago, and ported my number over to ST with a sim card I bought from Amazon for Verizon Towers.
When a person starts ST they give you a free 5 day trial, then you start your monthly payments. Everything was fine during the 5 day trial, I HAD data and it was connecting at 4G/LTE speeds (Mobile Network Icon displayed "Verizon"). Then, when the trial ended and my refill card kicked in, I lost all data connection. Absolutely NO internet. In fact, the mobile network icon in the status bar (pull down menu) displayed "No Service," I then called ST customer service, they were able to get me connected but only at 3G speeds (However the mobile network Icon still displayed "No Service." I have coverage in this area I live in for 4G/LTE as I used it in this area for 2 years when I was with Verizon. The CS rep (who was a supervisor) then tried to get me connected at 4G. Long story short, they could not get me connected, in fact I lost data again. (I should mention that at this time I can still place and recieve calls as well as send and receive text messages.) The CS rep then contacted Verizon and now they are sending me a new SIM card. My question is, What is the difference between the CM13 Unofficial VS Official Build? Could this be affecting my DATA connection? The unofficial builds can be found in the Galaxy S5 Verizon Development Threads. Can't remember where I found the official builds, but is the official Cyanogenmod site. I do have the link, but I don't have enough posts to show. Could I possibly be using the wrong ROM? Or is it something on Straight Talks side? Or have I missed something? Could this problem be a symptom of using the DEV Bootloader unlock method for Samsung 15 emmc? I would appreciate some insight on this. I should be receiving my new SIM hopefully in a few days or by the beginning of next week so I can update more when that comes. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Response is very much appreciated, unfortunately for some reason these APN settings do not work, ("No Service" is displayed with no signal bars under the mobile network icon in the pull down menu from the status bar) I have tried other various APN settings from random forums, and youtube. None have worked. Maybe my SIM card is corrupted possibly? I guess I will have to wait and see when Str8 Talk sends me my new SIM card. Will update/post new info when I know more. Thanks.
funny you should say that, today I don't have data or a signal at all (at work). I'll report back if that changes at home later today. It could be a sim issue or just a straight talk issue.

Interesting, glad to know I'm not the only one in this situation. Thanks. I will be sure to update this post as well when I know more. Thanks.
so the way I finally fixed it was to reload CM13 and use the last APN to edit with my settings and not delete the others. Don't know why it mattered but I'm up and running
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Yeah, tried editing the last APN as you suggested, still nothing. However I can connect to the tower (still with "No Service" indication) to receive phone calls and mms. But still no data. My new SIM card arrives in the mail 2 moro. Hopefully that is the issue.
If you're unable to edit the APN settings, I'd think that it was a faulty SIM card. Keep us notified, I'd be glad to help if possible.

Well, I am able to edit my APN settings, just the settings I have tried from XDA and other random forums/youtube/etc. just have not been working. As I have mentioned I am receiving my new SIM from Str8Talk 2moro, so hopefully a faulty SIM is the issue. Thanks for all the responses everyone, and I will keep everyone updated.
This is what worked for me. I am running daily CM13and been very happy. I edited the last APN entry and it saved fine.

Well received my new SIM card. Apparently the old SIM wasn't letting me connect to the towers. Old SIM card displayed "No Service" under the Mobile Network icon. I called CS they activated my new SIM. New SIM card displayed "Verizon Wireless." However I still wasn't able to get data. They then escalated the ticket. After I hung up the phone I tried these APN settings:

These worked, not sure if the previously mentioned APN settings would of worked as I did not try them with my new SIM card. It could very well be that those APN settings would of worked too. So, long story short I'm thinking the original SIM I used became corrupted somehow. Not sure how that could of happened but everything is functioning properly. I then called ST CS and had them close my ticket before they made any more changes to my account from their side. Thanks to all who replied to this thread.
Thought I would provide another update... For some reason the APN settings for TRACFONE.VZWENTP stopped working today. Called straight talk and got data working again using the VZWINTERNET apn setting. So weird. Not sure why I'm updating this thread but I thought it was important? LOL probably not, because straight talk seems to be a Sh** storm. LOL IM GOING CRAZY!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeee
APN not working for me
Hello, I had straight talk last year on my unrooted verizon samsung galaxy s5 and had no problems with the apn settings. I rooted my phone about 2 months ago using this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370. Today I decided to reactivate my straight talk service and I have tried multiple apns and none of them seem to work. Also the apn on this forum wouldn't even save on my phone. Any idea on what i should do? Maybe I need a new sim card?

Update, i finally got my data working. I had to use a new sim card as well. I am currently using the verizon CDMA sim card that came in the byop pack. Been having some issues receiving text and mms messages tho and the apn used is what is on this forum since it is compatible with the sim without making any changes.
Have GS4 using on Straight Talk VZW towers but have been unable to get 4G working 3G is doing ok. Was changing apn settings to this post and also noticed that i am unable to input manually the APN type....options being (Internet+MMS) (Internet) and (MMS)
may be a bad sim as well but just wanted to chime in and see if anyone had run into similar issues.
Thanks in advance!!

I would just try to talk to Straight Talk about it, it could be the sim card, or it could be the phone number you currently have. I just reactivated my service hoping no one else had my number but they did which had ended that person's service, which was why i was having a difficult time receiving text and mms. Now that i have a new number and used a new sim card everything works fine. I also can't manually change the Verizon apn but so far i have no need to change it.
Same issues but I have a Galaxy Sky Pro. Straight talk and verizon towers. Tried changing APN, NO luck. It will only let me change my APN, NOTHING ELSE????? It is a straight talk phone???? HELP!
