[Q] Help! Rooted Virgin Mobile Legend can't use data

So I just rooted my HTC Legend using the goldcard method and installed a 2.2 rom, since Virgin is refusing to update the phone themselves. Unfortunatly, I now have NO Data connection. Voice and Text work, but no 3G. After calling a rep, they gave me the APN info, but it still didn't help. They finally said they don't allow "unlocked" phones to use data on the network -- meaning after all the trouble of rooting the phone and upgrading to 2.2 because they WOULDN'T, my phone can't use data! Is there any way around this or any way to return to Virgin's stock rom?
Help!!

Which APN are you using?

i have done exactley the same thing with the gold card method and now i can't get a single bit of data but i haven't gotten as far as calling virgin mobile to ask them about it ..... and i have a friend who has the same phone on the same network not rooted if that helps any but i'm still new to the whole linux i've gone from 6.5 to this ^.^

I had the same problem recently. I am with Bell, but apparently virgin uses the same settings so try going
Menu>Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
then hit Menu and choose New APN. In here enter the settings:
APN: inet.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: h t t p:// mms. bell. ca/ mms/ wapenc (without the spaces)
MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC : 302
MNC : 610
APN type :
then hit menu again and save. When you back out, there should be a radio button beside your new apn to select, so do that. That should give you internet access, or if not try rebooting.
As for wifi, my problem was fixed by reinstalling my router. You can either do this, or go somewhere else and try wifi to see if it works.
Make sure all of your check marks are where they are supposed to be, too

You could also use the pda.bell.ca APN with the same settings as mentioned above. The inet apn is officially used for tethering whereas pda is for mobile browsing (this according to bell). Doesn't really make a difference which one you pick, but I found pda to be slightly faster.

verify new PRL

Hey all,
I am new to phone flashing etc.
I grabbed a CDMA Galaxy Tab on ebay that came from Sprint. I want to hook it up to the Bell Mobility network. I used cdma tools to break the code and change the SPC to all 0's. I then used QPST to enter the latest Bell PRL I could find (31402).
How can I verify that it was done correctly? The tutorial I used said to dial 611 and if the Bell network picks up everything is fine. Cannot do this since cannot dial on the Tab. I checked the service status of the phone and it says it has the correct PRL version but that the nework is Sprint. Is this normal? Could this be because I have not activated the phone with Bell yet?
I am also wondering if it is possible to flash this CDMA tab with the GSM firmware of the Bell tab?
thanks,
John

Well I took the phone to a Bell mobility store. We managed to get the ESN# activated on their system but he was having a hard time finding a data plan for it. He said all of the data plans are GSM now and when he tried to activate it a CDMA data plan it threw an error in his system. He ended up activating a a pre-paid package and gave me the Min numbers I needed.
Long story short, I entered the numbers needed but the phone will not hook onto the system. The status display of the phone shows the correct device numbers and the correct PRL. mobile netowkr is EvDo Rev.A, service state says in service, it's not roaming, but the mobile network state is disonnected.
any ideas?

You setup an APN for the Bell network?
Code:
Name: Bell Internet
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 610
APN type: Internet + mms
Authentication Type: none
VERY surprised you could even use a foreign ESN on Bell, they were hell on wheels about not allowing US devices (or even Telus devices) on their CDMA network (else I would have had a Droid X last summer instead of a GSM Galaxy S).
Also, you'll do some nasty things to your Tab if you flash a GSM version on it.

thanks for the info. I am going to take it into a Bell store tomorrow. I spoke to a tech service advisor on phone. She told me that the phone number of the tab is not registered to my name for some reason so she couldn't help me. However, she implied that there is a simple fix and that the problem was something like service not having been activated.
I understand that Bell was quite stingy with the CDMA stuff. Other people have been telling me that Bell won't help me because we must have tricked them into accepting the phone in their system. All I can say is that there was no tricker. Bell employ simply inserted the ESN number in the computer program and it accepted it.
I am wondering if I could have the phone hooked up under a talk/data smartphone plan and have a credit for the phone part
I am extremely new to this! how would I go about changing the Apn?
thanks!!!

I have been looking for a way to change the APN but I cannot find a way. I looked in the manual and it said to change it I need to go to Settings-->Wireless and Network---->Mobile Networks-->Access point names. I did what it said to do but Access Point Names is not listed in Mobile Networks.
any ideas?

Well, I was trying to fix my apn settings on my sgs2 import because I was not getting mms messages and I used the "Reset to default" feature in the apn menu. I got three new apn settings that replaced the ones I had put in manually. The new ones are: ATT PHONE, ATT WAP, and BROADBAND. The settings seem to match the ones that are commonly sited for AT&T "4g" phones. So my guess is that AT&T recognized something new about my phone and gave me the "new" sgs2 settings. I used to get the Cingular 410 settings. Everything is working fine now.
You may want to just try Reset to default. I have the new AT&T "4g" sim and I am in the DC area just for reference.

Is this something that would make a difference in speed or anything

To anybody on a grandfathered unlimited plan or the data for non-Smart Phones plan don't do this. I did, and like the OP said, it overlayed new default settings. These setting don't work unless you're on a 4G data plan. I lost all data connectivity afterward. I deleted the new (now the default) APN settings and replaced them with a new APN I had to create with the orignal settings. I'm also guessing for this to have happened that AT&T now recognizes the international SGS2 as a 4G phone running on their network. Otherwise, why would the default APN settings suddenly change? I hope this doesn't mean the end of the (almost) free ride we've been getting. So any APN settings posted from the AT&T version of the phone will be useless unless you're being billed for an official 4G plan.
In case anyone needs them, below are the standard settings:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank

Just to clarify, I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan, have a 4g sim and had my account changed to the use the 4G SOC code : HSDPPB. So in my case unlimited data and 4g are not mutually exclusive. I am getting the same speeds (6mbs - 8mbs) as I was when I manually entered the recommended setting from the "fix your apn" thread but now my mms is working.
I am not recommending anyone do it or not do it, just sharing my experience.

Anyone on a 4G plan, no matter how they got there, would benefit from the new APN. Anyone on a 3G plan will lose data connectivity. I get up to 8MB down in a fake-4G area using the Cingular 410 APN on a 3G plan. I get 3MB down at home in an area that's not been upgraded.

APN Settings for 3g on AT&T
Hi everyone. I added a new APN using the settings that BarryH_GEG posted. I had just bought the SGS2 I9100 off eBay. It was bought at a great price. Now, when I had put in my Sim card, it was not recognizing the data network. Weird because it showed my Sim contacts and my Sim and Network info in the About the Phone section in Settings. Because of this forum, it now reads my Sim along with the 3G ATT network. I was starting to get pissed, then realized it was just the APN settings. Now everything works great. Best phone I have ever owned. Thanks again BarryH_GEG for the settings info..

I'd been dorking around with my APN settings off and on for the past month... Didn't even consider the "Reset to default" option until reading your post. Worked like a champ. I had the exact same results AT&T Philadelphia area.

For those trying to getthe i9100 ICS XXLPB AT&T settings
After reading many threads, stretching my Google-fu to the limit, flashing many modems, and spending an hour on the phone with AT$T Tech support, I found a solution and will try to pay it forward.
First roll back to XXKPA modem.
Then create two APNs.
The first:
(Enter only the listed values. Leave all other fields at their default values. )
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPV6
APN Type: default,supl,fota,dun
***SAVE!***
Then create the second:
Name: Broadband
APN: Phone
APN Protocol: IPv4
***SAVE!***
Select the radio button for Broadband APN.
Enable and then disable Airplane Mode.
Then you will see the 3g/H+ icons flashing and you are done!

The APN depends on the type of DATA (3G/4G) that is provisioned (SOC) on each individual's account.
1) wap.cingular is the correct APN if your account is provisioned for 3G DATA
2) phone is the correct APN if your account is provisioned for 4G DATA
With regards to the 3G/H/H+ icon that depends on the cell site and not the APN configured on the phone. With GSM technology, the phone tells the cell site this is what I am capable of and the cell site tells the phone what it is capable of and then the phone utilizes the best possible option.
As an example, if the cell site is upgraded to HSPA+ the phone will display H+, if the cell site is only capable of UMTS it would display 3G.

Here is a thread I started a while back that discusses my findings with APNs on AT&T...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413458
Basically, the pta apn worked best and you have to be on the LTE data plan and have an LTE sim to use it. More information is in the thread I posted.

Net10 Sim Issues.....Anybody Else?

I have had my Nexus 4 about a week and a half now. I am trying to decide what service to go with, and I have tired a T-Mobile prepaid sim and am currently attempting to use Net10 Sim with an ATT micro-sim purchased from Best Buy.
I have been having so many data issues with Net10, I would say it is not even usable. My APN settings are below, but doing some internet searches, it seems like there are Data connectivity issues with Net10? I was just going to see if anybody else has experienced this and if they found a way to tweek the APN settings to make this work. Net10 support reps have yet to offer any solution. I go for periods without any data at all while my signal is blue with an H (I am typically on HSPA+ 15 or 10). I cannot use many of my apps that require data and I have to refresh websites multiple times to get it to load.
Do the same issues exist on Straight Talk with the ATT Micro-Sim? I did not have any issues like this with the T-Mobile prepaid sim so I do not believe it is a radio issue. I am trying to find out about ATT through either straight-talk or Net10 since T-Mobile does not have a signal in my wife's school. Thanks!

I've updated this setting. Data is very slow and I am still unable to use some apps that work fine on WiFi such as SatelliteGuys (works after I try several times), XDA (haven't used successfully) & SpeedTest (doesn't work says network communication issues) & DishRemote App (can't login even). Google music seems to work and I can send texts, will try an mms soon. I'm really thinking this is an issue with Net10. I've barely used any data so I don't think I am throttled. Really bad service thus far.
Assuming Straight Talk has the same issues with the ATT service? BTW, I am in the Kansas City metro area, full strength.

i used to have net10 and on some days the internet wouldn't work

Any data interruption, I would say it's AT&T service in your area. NET10 is the same as Straight Talk, once you set your APN and data works, it just works. You may want to check by borrowing a friend's SIM Tmo, AT&T or any compatible network, set the right APN, test, troubleshoot and compare. Another issue could be your radio.
If you input the first proxy, some apps/things won't work and may be blocked from access i.e. speedtest

Please help! AT&T/Harbor Mobile APN Settings on 950XL, no Internet/MMS

Hey Everyone,
So I've scoured the web and tried all the APN settings I can find to get my phone working on Harbor Mobile (uses AT&Ts network and sim card). My Lumia 950XL worked fine on AT&T (which is what I had last month when I got the 950XL) but now all I can do is make and receive phone calls with it on Harbor Mobile. I currently have it set up using AT&Ts recommendations:
Phone
APN: NXTGENPHONE
Sign in: None
IP Type: IPv4v6
Use APN for LTE is checked
MMS Settings
APN: NXTGENPHONE
Sign in: None
IP Type: IPv4v6
Proxy Server: proxy.mobile.att.net
Proxy Port: 80
MMSC (URL): http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
Maximum MMS Size (KB): 600
I'm losing my mind here, and could really use the help. I've contacted ATT and they said they 'provisioned' my device on my sim card but no change... I have full signal but it just says ATT 4G and neither MMS nor internet works. I've put the sim card into a firephone and my old Lumia 1020 it works fine, both MMS and LTE internet work on the fire and 1020.
I've also read on the internet that the phone will set up the sim settings automatically if I configure the phone with the sim in, but I tried that as well. full reset my phone with the sim in and nothing changed.
Thanks in advance, hope I can get this solved, I'm now 4 days out of my return window on the 950XL (not that I want to return it at all but I feel like this issue stems from it being unlocked, not ATT Branded)
