[Q] 3g doesn't work? - Surround General

ok i have had the htc surround for about a month on the at&t 3g network but it doesn't want to connect. does anyone know an idea of whats happening or what i can do to fix it?

Hmmm... I have a Surround from AT&T, but I live in Argentina. I had to manually set up the APN.
Go to Settings > Cellular and make sure the Data connection is ON.
If it's on, but you still cannot transfer any data over the AT&T network, tap the edit apn button and add the necessary information.
APN: wap.cingular
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1

I'm not sure if that information is correct, make a call to AT&T support to get the correct information if this isn't working. If all else fails, ask for a replacement.

APN settings for Smart/Globe in the philippines?

I have searched around but can't seem to find this info, does anyone have it? and does everything work (except the 3g of course)?
Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but I thought it would be better than making a new one. Well then let's get to my story
I've recently moved here to the Philippines for school(actually I moved yesterday) and I brought my G1 with me which I got unlocked from T-Mobile. I have a Globe SIM card now but it seems like the 3G antennae won't work and the icon won't even show up. It's like as if my APN was disabled by APNdroid but it's not and I can turn it on and off with APNdroid but still no 3G/EDGE icon. I'm running cyanogen 4.2.15.1 and using that upgraded radio found on this forum if that helps any. Could someone help me connect to the internet here in the Philippines with a Globe SIM card on a G1? BTW I'm in Dumaguete.
>internet here in the Philippines with a Globe SIM card on a G1?

Hello,
I was just using it for the first time here.
Here is what I did:
Menu -> Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile networks -> Uncheck .. only 2G .. -> Access Point Names -> Menu -> New APN
Name: Globe inet
APN: http.globe.com.ph
User name: none
Password: none
Click Back button
Now, in order to disable this so any service on the phone will not connect without knowledge, I created a dummy APN with
Name: none
APN: none
Select the dummy when you are done with your internet usage.
As for Smart, I think you need:
APN: internet
Username: leave blank
Password: leave blank
or else try with none / none
You can also check a friends Nokia (and probably others) phone settings for APN settings and duplicate them.
Does philippines have a 3G network? I can't seem to get any...
Yes, there is 3G most places, and 3.5G in and around most cities.
Both Smart and Globe have good coverage, but Sun is mostly Manila / Luzon based regarding 3G and 3.5G.
Sun has awesome 3G / 3.5G unlimited internet. Both in speed and price.
If my DSL fails or I am not at home, I use Globe. Only if that is too slow, I try Smart.
It all depends on the carriers coverage in our area, of course.

yes, there is a 3G Network here in the Phils. (surprisingly so)
you just have to create an APN with the correct proxy settings, and voila! you now have 3G Network reception. just make sure that you've set up a dummy APN so the open 3G won't eat up credits while you're not using it.

My plan was to disable data under settings and use 2G only to save battery. Any additional benefit to using a fake apn?

hi there, the settings above have posted the correct values already
and here are some guidelines:
Name: myglobe internet
(you can actually put any name here, as this is just an identifier for the APN setting for your phone, much like how you can rename your Local Area Network on windows)
Apn: http.globe.com.ph
(take note its a <dot> that succeeds http and not a <://> remember this is not a protocol but an access point name)
Authentification: pap or chap
(there is a "pap or chap" option, this does not mean choose any between "Pap" or "Chap", as the former means both)
All other fields blank except default for
Mcc: 515
Mnc: 02
APN type: internet (please select this explicitly, its labeled "internet")
I've even tried those but still no success. I don't know why.
Happen to be in the USA at the moment and have not gone to sleep yet.
Here is the info I had saved. I believe it matches the other post. you might see if you can set up internet using another carrier, just to verify that the problem is not elsewhere in your phone settings or a hardware problem.

If it doesn't work does that mean the phone is messed up? WiFi works on the phone and everything else is fine. Just I can't seem to get any connection with my supersurf50..

Have you played around with these settings:
settings/mobile network settings/data enabled
settings/mobile network settings/2g (you want this off when you want data access)
settings/mobile network settings/network mode (see what happens when you choose WCDMA only, this would at least show that you have a 3G signal, try a different location)
Good luck!
PS I do not have an HTC Dream, so I do not know if there are any phone specific settings that you can do.
PPS I hate to ask the question, have you verified that this phone operates on the 3G frequency (2100Mhz) used in the Philippines?

darn globe, they should be reprimanded again for this

*SOLVED*Defect Tab??? Won't connect to Bell's 3G network

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

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.

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:

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..

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

Then create the second:

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...

IMEI Number

I live in a very small town in West Virginia and the closest AT&T store is an hour away. I was wordering if anyone could give me an IMEI number that would help me get my new note up and running on the at&t network. It would save 2 hrs of driving.
Thanks
Kevin
IMEI number is the unique ID of your phone. Each phone has its own. Your IMEI is printed on the box and inside the phone behind battery. You don't need other ppl's IMEI because it is counter productive and doesn't help you get the phone activated. What you need is an AT&T SIM card, like the one you already have on your existing AT&T phone. Simply pull that SIM card out and put into your Note and you're done. You don't need to activate anything if you already have an active account with AT&T. When you first connect your phone to AT&T, they will know your phone's IMEI right away.
foxbat is correct if you already have an activated ATT SIM card. What you may need to set up is the APN to get the GNote up and running. If you do there are several thread on the APN's, or just ask for help.
This is the APN I am using: EDIT: This is for a 4G LTE SIM card that I also use in my Skyrocket. the 3G APN Is different as foxbat points out.

Please note that Phone APN may not work for everyone. If you already have an AT&T 4G phone, Phone APN will work for you. If you only have a 3G phone, your data plan is not upgraded to 4G plan. And Phone APN won't work for you.
The best APN to use is the old 3G APN called WAP.Cingular. It won't affect your 4G speed, at least not yet, and don't require upgrade your data plan to 4G plan (which is just a phone call away).

Yes, I'm a little confused on this as well. I just posted a question in that thread, so hopefully, someone can clear things up for us. I have an iphone with at&t, so can I just put my sim card in the note with an adapter, and I should be good to go? I want to make sure I don't lose my grandfathered unlimited data.

You will be very lucky to get HSPA+ anywhere near 7.2mbps. On top of that there are plenty of ppl using wap.cingular reaching 9mbps speed in certain areas.

[HELP] Got AT&T sim into International S3, calling works but data doesn't work

I got an international S3 from India and went to AT&T store to get a micro sim.
Got that installed and then the phone calling works fine but data (internet) doesn't work.
They said they would have to register my phone's IMEI but it still doesn't work. They put in a new APN, and still same. They called their tech and they couldn't help. Their last suggestion was to try calling Samsung, but I had to leave to get to work.
I believe there are already people using International version with AT&T for the S3. So any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks!
Try factory resetting your phone. Other than that, make sure you have the $10/month data plan (unlimited messaging required) or the $15/month data (no messaging required). To do that you'll have to call into customer care and say you have an unlocked non-smartphone. If you go into the store to do this they'll give you the more expensive internet because they'll see you have a smartphone. If you're changing data plans it CAN take 24-48 hours for it to be effective, although it usually doesn't take that long. After that's done go into Settings, More Settings (under Wireless and Network settings), Mobile Networks, and then Access Point Names. Make sure there is an Access Point Name titled "Cingular 410". If there isn't then press Menu, and then "+ New APN". The settings should look like this:
Name: Cingular 410
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
User name: [email protected]
My Password field is auto-filled, so I don't have that. Try leaving it blank, but if that doesn't work call customer care and get that information.
Server: cingulargprs.com
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: Not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
Enable/disable APN: Checked (this field is grayed out for me, but it is checked)
Bearer: Unspecified
This should fix it. The only thing I'm unclear on is the Password part.
Password is (all caps): CINGULAR1

Well now my SIM is completely unregistered, can't even make calls. Operator asked me to go to the store and get a new SIM Card.
So, this won't work without the switch to the non-smartphone data plan? It is going to be hard to pull off when I am in the store.

It should work just fine on the smartphone data plan, and you should be able to switch to the non smartphone data plan afterwards.

Ok, thanks. What should I tell the AT&T store people today when I go in the evening?
It feels like they did something on the account to screw it up. Would it help to suggest that they get this working on an AT&T HTC OneX and then transfer the SIM to my phone?
It could be that you have a defective SIM card. Take it one step at a time. Replace the SIM card. Make sure you have functionality with other services (such as voice and messaging). Check all the APN settings to make sure those are correct. Make sure you have a data plan for AT&T.
I'm on another carrier but I had the same problem at first, only phone call and sms working. I had to change my APN for the Data to work.

Edit: nvm, you said another carrier

All of the APN settings for AT&T are in my first response. Double check that yours look the same.

What are the APN settings you input, did you save and select it afterwards?
EDIT: Check the settings in the screenshots on the first posts of this thread, yours should match.
Thanks, I went back to the store. We got my original S2 working and this time switched to micro sim without making any IMEI/etc changes and it worked.
Anyone know what extra steps need to be taken to get the voicemail working?
