Bell galaxy s data fix

hey guys i recently flashed my phone to froyo 2.2 and lost data connection, however my problem was not that i didnt have the reqquired band but my apn settings were reset. so if u flashed ur phone and lost data check ur apn settings first ... it should look like this
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy server: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
after i entered the info my data started working again
hope this helps...

did flash to official jpm via hacked kies? how's everything so far?

That may work but it's not the default settings. APN should be inet.bell.ca, not sure about the rest.

get ready for it to get bricked in the next couple of days

ya i flashed via kies, everything works well, feels alot snappier without lagfix..also the samsung task manager seems to work better as it kills programs that arnt running alot faster.

i'm going to have to agree with this guy......a few days, and a few reboots, and you'll be bricked.

The apn settings should be like this:
name: Bell
APN: inet.bell.ca
rest , leave them empty and save and use. tried and tested.

Ya. I am alo on be and confirm its inet.bell
I retured a phone i updated to 2.2 cuz was verry unstable and keeps fc on multitasking.
Also when i flashed back to the stoxk bell jh2 i could not get the bell branding csc file to restore all the programs correctly. So i just gave up and doa the phone with new one
Good luck. And btw now that you have updated you will not get the update id any that bell givea the rest of us.

Why would it be bricked? I just updated mine yesterday to froyo on bell.

i too am on bell, and have tried updating to jpk and jpm. it never turns out well, and if you start getting FC's and "can't mount" errors in recovery, i suggest you flash back to jh2 before your sdcard gets corrupted to the point where you can't flash it.
i'm just saying a lot of people were having this issue with the bell i9000m when flashing to froyo.

Spot on.. (based on observation and some other threads) most Bell i9000M get corrupted a few days after flashing i9000 roms. Once it gets corrupted you will have to send the phone for repairs.

Just wait for Bell's official 2.2...it wont be long

Out of the 3 SGS's I have , only one had a problem with the SD Card. All 3 were on JPK and are now on JPM. The only one that had this problem had a lagfix installed. The other 2 don't and are still alive since JPK was put on them on the day of it's release. JPM was put on all 3 of them last night. I only have the 850Mhz problem with the 3 of them. The SDCard problem is not related to Froyo as others have had it happen with 2.1 . The phone I had fixed got a brand new system board installed in it but the rest of the phone was my old one since I had marked both with a marker.

I noticed people were commenting on which APN is correct (inet.bell.ca or pda.bell.ca).
As shipped, the phones came set with inet.bell.ca as the APN. This is actually their APN for tethered connections. While it works fine for data, people on older plans without a tethering option were getting charged fees for tethering because of this.
pda.bell.ca is what all other phones use for on-device data, which is why most people suggest using that one. Both will work on the SGS.

ya i just noticed my phone getting alot of force closes, then when i rebooted it got stuck on the galaxy s screen. went into download mode and flashed back to jh2 with odin, phone works fine now...and as for not being able to update through kies, im not too worried about that as odin makes it easy to flash new firmwares...and i have a feeling bell is gonna slack on rolling out 2.2 anyways. and most of us that root out phones do not have much interest goin with stock roms anyways

Doesnt have to be 2.2... Happens as long as it's the i9000 rom

Weird, I have a bell i9000M (got it in august). Ive flashed to froyo using the kies registry hack and its been running flawlessly, havent experienced any force closes or lag

Did you even read this thread? OP already said his phone was starting to act up already and flashed it back.
And if you read my previous posts, i didnt limit the failure to 2.2 alone.

My Fascinate may be ruined for eternity...

I have a Samsung Fascinate from Verizon Wireless.
Up until two days ago, it used to work perfectly on Android Froyo Superclean 2.8.
I had that ROM for about a year and a half and never thought of updating my OS up until two days ago.
At first, I discovered that I could get Gingerbread for my phone (not a stock version though).
I looked on the internet and I ended up flashing C-Spire Wireless Gingerbread 2.3.6 by accident.
When I finally finished all of the updating on that, I tried to go on the internet but it was not functioning the way it used to.
Most of the time, my phone could not connect to the 3G network, and when it did, it was very slow and disconnected every minute or so.
So, I then flashed the stock version of Gingerbread 2.3.5 for Verizon, but when I finished doing that, I still found that my internet was extremely buggy.
I also tried to install some radios on my phone to see if that helped, but it did not.
Shortly after, I stalled Superclean3 milestone 2 but the internet issue was not solved.
After that, I installed TSM Resurrection 2.2. The internet problems were still there.
Then, I went and installed ICS. Internet was still buggy.
I then got Jelly Bean from Cyanomod. The internet was still the same.
Then I went back to the stock Gingerbread 2.3.5. My internet is still really annoyingly horrible and I don't know what to do.
Any solutions please?

Only thing I can think of is follow droid styles guide in the forums

To go back to stock you need to flash the the pit file to repatriation and put everything back in order. Found the forum in fascinate android development about going back to stock Verizon rom. I had a 3g issue when I first flashed AOKP b40. Going back to stock worked perfect to fix data. Then back to ics on AOKP. And if your gonna flash an ics rom make sure you flash THS build 2 first to lay the ground work for the next ics rom of your choice.

Maybe your radio got corrupted somehow? Try flashing a bunch of different ones to see if it helps... all that info is found in droidstyle's guide
edit: Oops sorry, somehow I skimmed over that part saying you already tried different radios. I agree with the above though, go back to stock via droidstyle's guide and see what happens...

I just stumbled across something that may help you... read this and try it out... some people have reported data issues being resolved after doing that update. I've never done it myself, but I think I'm going to start making it a habit

[Q] i9505 on UK Networks

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone is working on AOSP mainly CyanogenMod for Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505) on UK networks such as EE and Vodafone etc.
I am currently running Omega 3.1 but would rather switch to pure android and current nightlies presented here for CyanogenMod 10.1 fail to install on my Phone. I have tried both TWRP and CWM.
Possibly I am doing something wrong while installing it :silly: or maybe it is not compatible.
please advice if anyone has got success installing CM 10.1...or if there is any different ROM which one can try.
many thanks

Its a problem with the recoveries, its being looked at and will be fixed. Keep trying to install CM, sometimes it needs a few attempts to work. When you see Error 7, reboot back in to recovery and install again, it will work if you keep at it.

I've been using my device on both networks and using victorators aokp rom.I just love it to be honest. Both cwm and twrp are tricky sometimes but keep trying and you'll be ok.

I had the Status 7 error too. Rebooting didn't help me. What helped for me was deleting the rom from my SD card. And recopying it back onto the SD card. Then it started working straigt away. Seems to have something to do with the formatting.

Thanks guys for all your valuable replies :good:, my hands are getting itchy now to get it started .. but am stuck at work ..will have to get it done tonight sometime

Reflash the NB1 tar file in ODIN and see if it works then. You can find it in the general section, either search for the thread or find it in the [INDEX] thread.

started working for 5 hours then returned same issue...
I used Odin to root it using Nc1 Then finished with J4 ...

im guessing this must be a problem many are facing. a friend of mine gave me a an S4 logic board i337m variant and it has the same issue i have tried everything from flashing new roms flashing stock frimwares tried different kernels modems nothing seems to work. i second this post to see if we can find a solution. my phone is a I337m and have flashed GOLDENEYE to get the lollipop experience a month before the official Lollipop came out for the canadien variants and i have not had any problems i was wondering if i made a backup with trwp and see if this might fix this problems and if it does i can upload my exact backup to help other. but i was wondering if a dev can help me out and see if this could be a possible solution.

In the same boat aswell
I gave my phone to someone to update it to lollipop GPE about 2 months ago.... wifi would work but my data connection would cut out the minute the screen shut off.... after contemplating going back to the guy.... i downgraded to hyperdrive kitkat rom witch gave me better connectivity but no wifi... I ve been living with that for up until now until I decided enough is enough and flashed the stock lollipop rom yesterday. still no wifi. whats even more frustrating is I cant find the file path thats being mentioned so commonly as the solution.... and yes I am rooted. Also wifi was working no problem before I updated..

Well last night I went from 4.4.4 back to 4.4.2 to see if thus would solve the wifi and blue tooth head ache. It all started working just fine and did all the way up till tonight then back to not working. I then resulted to cleaning the Wifi prongs on the phone and it worked again for few hours. Now the weird thing happens I put it back into the phone case and just from snapping it in it stop working AGAIN. I restarted the phone once taken out of the case and it was working so I think I'm at a conclusion it's a mechanical issue not software. Maybe the wifi circuit us faulty
I've had lots if Galaxy and worked on a few friends but this wifi and blue tooth crap us unbearable.

My Bluetooth is fine. My wifi broke after downgrading to kit kat so I know it works It just seems the wifi files are corrupted or missing. I'm sure it's simple I'm just not savvy enough to implement it
