So i noticed since installing custom rom, that my 3g data no longer works, the signal is fine, i can make/receive calls but as for data, market/internet anything requiring a connection it just does not work unless connected to a wifi network, and before you ask! yes i was able to do it before from stock so its not a service provider plan issue lol.
First, is the mobile data on the phone itself turned on? I know from using a few different rom they have the ability to turn off just mobile data.
Other than that, I know verizon has had some problems which only required an ESN swap (changing the phone connected to your account to another phone, then back to your current phone is the process to do this), but I also see from your profile that you are on Telus, so I merely offer these two options in hopes that one may help.
well i haven't checked that actually, lol so i will, but i'm on a telus network if i could make a sig lol id have that info sorry haha. Oh yea it is displayed there haha my bad.
k just checked, am i in the right place (just to make sure) Settings -> wireless and network -> mobile network ->3g Packet Data ON
and if so, still no luck.
How do i do this ESN swap?
Yeah that's the correct information, if you haven't done it already, I would at least try toggling it off then back on and see if that fixes it.
After that, as I said before, I don't know much about the Telus Fascinate but I'm sure that there are a few developers or people experienced with Telus Fascinate lurking around the forums that may be able to help. Sorry I couldn't help you more.
That's Okay, lol the ESN swap is it difficult? maybe its the same for telus as verizon..
for verizon a person could log into their online account and switch to an older phone, then switch back. I personally had to take my phone to Best Buy and they could do the ESN swap for me there.
Again not sure on telus......but you can change the esn by a number up or down and not use another phone. I have completed this process several times when I have lost 3g. You will force repartion of data.

It sounds like your having the same problem iv been having. If your 3G icon is disappearing a dmu reset should fix your problem.the esn swap is a way of resetting your dmu but I find it easier to just call into tech support and tell them to do it. If they refuse make them or hang up and call again. Once you get some one who will do it it takes 2min.

LOL wait... ESN swap is for CDMA phones. Telus is GSM.
OP, you didn't flash a Verizon Fascinate ROM onto your Telus model, did you? If so, you need to do a full stock Odin including GSM modem.
Hence not on sure on telus. Obviously esn is of no help with gsm. Thanks for the info.

I had a lot of problems with my 3 g going away. There wasn't even a 1x just bars. I was frustrated to the point of getting a different phone. I had verizon put a different phone on my account then out my samsung back on and it fixed it. Hopes this helps.

I had the infamous 3g issue with an interesting side note...
The esn swap worked perfectly, however, when I used *228 with option 2 (update roaming capabilities) the next day, my 3g started dropping again. Did another esn swap, and its been fine now for 4 days. I did use the *228 option 1 both times and nothing changed... only when I used option 2 the first time did my 3g start dropping again.

lemme guess, you're using the Bell Vibrant, right? With the hard menu key?
If that's the case, you won't get 3g on TMO, and you're using an i9000
Bell vibrant? What do you mean by that? I purchased this phone through tmob when it cam out. It does not have a hard home key. They are all touch buttons.

then if you can't get 3g to work, either your phone is defective, or you live in an area that TMO doesn't yet offer 3g coverage. There's no work involved in getting 3g to work on the phone. it's automatic.
That sucks man. Call tmo support and have them check your area. You shouldn't have to set anything up to get a 3g signal.

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

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.

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.

P3Droid has successfully gotten the RAZR M to run on AT&T. But my question is this: If I have a 3G ATT sim, will it work? Has P3 released the how to yet?

TBH you're better off with a Razr I (which is same handset with 3G GSM only, and intel proc - don't worry about benchies, anand has confirmed it runs great w/ actually better battery life than S4).
The Verizon Razr M won't work with AT&T 4G, so Razr I is equivalent basically, + is fully unlockable bootloader, + better battery life, + cheaper, = win

wintermute000 posted the Aussie radio image in the fast boot thread.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8648738/NON-HLOS.bin
All that is needed is to flash that in fast boot with the following command: fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Then insert the SIM and reboot and it should just work. You may need to select GSM/UMTS in Mobile Networks settings. The APN is set automatically by the SIM and the apns-config.XML by default has the necessary APNs included for ATT and T-Mobile.
We intend to post a more complete tutorial but are trying to understand more about how it works and what doesn't work under the AU radio.
P3Droid has VZW 4g data and CDMA1X voice but no 3g data. I have no service at all with VZW SIM because I am in a 3g only area.
It appears to break eHRPD authentication probably because that is not used on Australian networks and is a very problematic part of how VZW's network is deployed.
When we get it figured out a little better we will post more information.
Right now it's pretty straightforward. You use the AU radio for GSM/UMTS service but must flash back to the VZW radio for normal CDMA/LTE/EVDO service.

You can Google for the AT&T and T-Mobile ones, but it won't help you any to put a different carrier's APN in. If you're on Straight Talk, you need to be using Straight Talk's APN.

Thanks for your help, I truly appreciate it. I'm not on Straight Talk. So I guess I have to look up the APN values for ATT 4G. But is it even possible for me to get anything from 2G or better running on the Aussie radios. Like does the radio support those frequencies?

I just got my Galaxy S4 yesterday and I am working on optimising it for speed and performance. One of the things that I noticed in the network settings is that I think I APN is set incorrectly.
I have a Nexus 4 and in order to get the best data speed I had to use the AT&T LTE APN or (PTA). I am assuming this should be the same on the Galaxy S4 yet when I go into my APN settings I have the AT&T PHONE APN.
It is my understanding that the Phone APN can only get HSPA+ and not LTE. Since this is an LTE phone shouldn't we use the PTA LTE APN?
I have ATT Phone as APN and I get LTE. Not sure about the other one you mentioned.

Maybe the PHONE APN is capable of receiving LTE but I am curious if the PTA APN would get faster data speeds.
RootzWiki http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31135-att-apns-for-custom-roms/
This post indicates that the PTA APN gets (All the Mbps)
Mine is using the PHONE APN and i have no problems getting LTE. Just did a speed test and i'm getting speeds of 50+Mbps over LTE so it seems to be working fine for me.
PHONE is an APN that AT&T umbrella'd all types of data connectivity under. PHONE will automatically choose to connect to the fastest available network in your area. PTA is what they were putting on phones when LTE phones were first being released, but since then, PHONE is the primary APN one should be using. Using PTA won't hurt anything, and should work fine, but why bother if PHONE is already programmed in there.
At least, that's what they the us at my AT&T Data Support call center I work at :/

got the google edition in the mail today and set up the PTA apn to try to get LTE on it...
out of the box i got no data at all and the PTA apn doesnt work either.
im stuck usning the old cingular WAP for H+ on it ... called att AND google at the same time and ATT is sayng they cant guarantee i will get LTE since its not an ATT branded phone. Google is saying it should work and told ATT they are full of **** essentially..
any help?
Let's start with the stupid questions. After saving the pta apn did you click the green/blue bubble on the right of the apn

No. This should work out of the box. I was on the phone myself with AT&T and Google for two hours. It's a simple matter of AT&T changing the data plan to LTE, but they won't do it because they do not recognize the IMEI as an AT&T phone. No need to change APN settings. AT&T is basically screwing us. In the coming days I see a LOT of complaints coming. The customer service reps say there is nothing they can do, the network people say there's nothing they can do. Complete nonsense. Now, if you had an LTE data plan PRIOR to switching out phones you're probably going to be OK. It's those of us that were on 3G that will be screwed.
EDIT:
Well, after speaking with endless reps, I found one who was willing to actually do her job. She was sympathetic, did some research, and put in a phony IMEI number that allowed her to upgrade my plan from 3G to LTE. I guess the moral of the story is be persistent, hang up on the reps that say there's nothing they can do and keep trying till you find a rep willing to do their job properly.
By the way, I kept my unlimited status, no worries there.
FUNNY:
I had a call from a sales rep before the issue was fixed. Her solution was "why don't you return your phone, go to an AT&T store, and buy one of ours?"

which is what i was afraid of since i am on the grandfathered plan for 30 bucks unlimited ... no way in hell im going up to 40+ bucks for 2 GB of data.
and yes, i did choose the radio button for it.
they sent in some form to allow ATT to recognize my IMEI which might allow LTE to come in.. i asked about the plan and everything and no one said it wouldnt work... altho i had feared some people might have been told otherwise.

doing research actually, i did find that i even posted that question a few months back somewhere here on XDA...
would you need an upgraded plan to get LTE on ATT even if you have the grandfathered plan ?

You don't need the PTA APN anymore. Just one named phone.
Here's what I have that works perfectly on LTE:
Name: (whatever you want)
APN: phone
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
Username: not set
Password: not set
Server: not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Auth Type: not set
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Bearer: unspecified
MVNO type: none
This worked perfectly out of the box for me. I was reading somewhere that they don't really use the PTA APN anymore because that was when they were first turning on their LTE network and now this "phone" APN auto detects and works normally.

right, the issue is i didnt have an LTE phone prior. I had a 3g GS2 so my plan isnt configured to work on the LTE network.
for the Iphone they were honoring the old unlimited data plans for 30 dollar a month just changing the name of the plan to the new one (same price, still unlimited, upto 5GB before throttle)
someone just did this on the phone for me and i did get data using the phone APN now (no more using the old 3g only APN)
hopefully when i get out of the building i work in i can get some LTE reception and see if it worked.

If you haven't had an LTE phone prior, you probably don't have LTE data enabled through AT&T yet. What data plan are you on specifically? Does it say 4G for Smartphones or LTE for Smartphones? I'm thinking you're going to have to talk to AT&T and get them to switch your plan...

thats what they just did. they had the LTE plan unlimited for 30 a month they grant to grandfathered data plans when the iphone 5 came out
i am getting data on the PHONE apn now but still no LTE speeds...
i will call back later on in the day if i dont see LTE speeds coming in (speed test now only gave me 4 down)
they also apparantly sent in a form to get the IMEI covered by ATT which would guarantee they can provide :LTE speeds
went by att store and the guy there said it happens all the time with devices from south america (im in miami)
went to the back, grabbed an IMEI off a boxes device. applied that to my account... BAM ... LTE
I had the same problem with a rep telling me that the phone can't be found in their system. From the research I've done, it looks like you can give them any IMEI number off of a AT&T branded LTE phone and their system will switch your plan over.
Here's a good thread about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021401
