Did a search and checked all FAQ's but i cant seem to find anyone with the same problem as me.
Phone keeps telling me i have no network but im getting 2-4 bars of signal. I cant go on the internet, youtube, facebook ect... unless i turn wifi on.
Phone details:
Im rooted and sim unlocked.
Im up in Canada, on the FIDO network
In the mobile network settings, it says EDGE, but i should be getting 3G.
TMO Vibrant SGH-T959
firmware 2.1 -update 1
kernal 2.6.29
Service state says "in service" but mobile network state says "disconnected"
For some reason im on roaming even if im no where near the border.
I have set data roaming to ON to see if internet would work but it didnt.
This is my first android phone and im very new to all the menu's and settings! Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
TMO Vibrant SGH-T959
Fido
This explains all.
only Wind mobile uses AWS(1700/2100) same as T-mobile.
Their 3G phones don't work with Rogers(Fido)/Bell/Telus.
Ah man no way!!!
So there is nothing i can do to make this work then?

Best thing you can do is to switch to wind.
Right now they are giving 150$ porting credit also
Make sure you also have a data package on your line, and change the APN to Fido's settings. You'll at least get the EDGE connection which is better than nothing.
Other option would be to sell the Vibrant and get a Captivate, which has Fido's 3G frequencies.
It should be possible for you to get 3G with FIDO since they use 1900 MHz and the Vibrant has a radio for that frequency

Get to your APN settings first
Menu ---> Settings --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names. You should see T-Mobile US.
Then hit the Menu button again and select New APN. Enter this info into the respective fields
APN1
Name: fido internet
APN: internet.fido.ca
Username: fido
Password: fido
APN Type: default
(all other fields blank)
Enter everything here, I cannot guarantee this will work, as I do not have AT&T service. But it's more than what you got now. Make sure you go back to that menu and select this APN is the one you want to use.
DO NOT delete the T-Mobile one, as you may need it at a later time.
Hope this helps
Also if you have trouble with MMS: Try these in the messaging settings.

Ill keep everyone posted on how i make out.
I was about to say... its a problem with APN settings, if you have internet service on your plan, then you should be able to go online at least with EDGE... its the same as getting an iphone for tmobile

you got it!
does the vibrant phone have the capacity to go 3G even if tmobile doesnt offer it?
All 4 SGS seem to have the exact same specs... So if ATT (captivate?) has 3g, the vibrant should be able to get it right?
tmobile does offer 3g, it is just on a different band than the one from ATT, but for what has been going around these past few days, some have been successful using 3g vibrant from tmobile on ATT since there is at least one band that matches, coverage is not as great as with an original att phone, but works. I haven't tried it myself since I don't have an ATT SIM to try it
Where can i find what bands are used? I would like to compare what my fido carrier uses compared to TMO and ATT for 3G network.
AT&T uses 850/1900 for 3G
T-Mobile uses 1700(AWS)/2100
I know wikipedia has the whole list of all the carriers but most Canadian providers use AT&T bands including Rodgers/Fido.
If I remember correctly only Wind uses TMobile bands
You sir.... are a god among men!!!
IT WORKED!!!
Now i need to track down ATT users to find out what they did to get onto the 3G !!!

Not a problem at all, glad I could help.
Do you not have 3G on Fido?
*EDIT* I just checked Fido Bands. They are 850/1900 as well. So you are most likely in an area that uses 850(which the Vibrant doesnt have) like AT&T. If you travel around see if 3G pops up in other places.
Usually when im in the basement my iphone doesnt get 3g... but if i lay it flay on my desk and dont touch it... sometimes it will pick it up.
So i took my vibrant out for a drive yesterday just to see if i would pick up 3g and i didnt...... BUT...
Woke up this morning and found the 3g logo on with my phone being on my desk in the basement.... like my iphone!
Good sign! Today im taking the vibrant out as my "daily driver" for the first time (with my simless iphone in my pocket as backup lol)
Ill let you guys know my findings tonight.
I think you totally got it, but just to be clear for others reading this thread, your Vibrant will work some of the time on 3G and some of the time on Edge when using the Fido network.
The Vibrant receives 3 different 3G frequencies: 1700/1900/2100.
Fido uses 2 different 3G frequencies: 850/1900.
Some Fido areas have only 850, some have only 1900, and some have both. If you are in an area that has 1900, then your Vibrant will get 3G. Wind uses 1700/2100, so it better serves your Vibrant.
On the other hand, the Captivate will receive 3G in two different bands: 850/1900. This means that when used on Fido, it will always work in 3G (where available). If it were used on the Wind network, it would always operate on Edge.
Note that all of this requires setting the carrier-appropriate APN, which you have already done for Fido.
^^^
WOW .. that clarifies EVERYTHING! Thanks so much for posting that.
Which also explains why today i saw jumps from 3g to edge ect...
Thanks for the post!
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.
Ok, so I just got my N4 last night and so far I am very impressed with it, especially being my first android phone. However, the data speeds seem quite slow, can someone please help me out?
Using this APN I am connected to HSPA + on AT&T but am only getting around 1 Mbps both up and down. Does anyone know what could be causing me to have such slow speeds?

I'm on an AT&T family plan with a sim card pulled from an iphone 5. (Not sure if I answered your question, im not on prepaid though)
I have the same issues. I signed up for at&t family shared 10gb for 3 lines a month ago. I have the GS3 and 2 iphone 5's. 2 weeks ago i bought the nexus 4 and the speeds are bad compared to LTE. I get 3-4 down and 1 up. I used the following APN settings. So far its the best one's that work.
http://forums.androiddoes.net/showt...to-get-good-AT-amp-T-HSPA-speeds-with-Nexus-4
the Nexus 4 works best on t-mobile in the US only because they support HSPA+ while at&t is HSPA and LTE.
AT&T is building up their LTE markets and not upgrading their current HSPA.
Are you referring to the pta one or the phone one? On the pta one I don't get a data connection.
-Bump
Ok you do not get any data with pta apn because your sim is not provisioned for LTE(even if LTE is on your plan). My daughter had an iphone 4s(we have a data share plan which includes LTE) and I switched her to my GS3. She also didn't get any data using the pta APN. I just called at&t and told them they needed to provision it for LTE because the LTE apn wasn't working. They put me on hold, provisioned the sim for LTE and had me reboot and then the PTA apn worked. It was the same deal for my mom when she went from a HSPA+ phone to a LTE phone. She got no data at first until I called and told them her old phone was HSPA+ and her new one was LTE. That's when I learned they have to reprovision it. Of course they wouldn't need to do this if you had originally had an LTE phone

Do you mind testing a few things?
If so, Could you press the menu icon (bottom right corner) in the APNs settings, then select restore to default.
Then power off the device, Open APNs Settings again, and check to be sure the default APN (Should be the only one listed) is selected (Has the blue dot to the far right) then wait a few second, and power the device off and on again..
After devices is back on, check your internet, go to any webpage (other than a google one)
If still not working fast enough, go Back to APNs settings..
Add New, and try these settings...

Delete the First APN... enable the one you just created (press the radio button so that it turns blue)
then restart the phone.
Remember this phone does not support LTE service, so you may need to have your account provisioned to HSPA+ and not LTE.
Note: The can provision each line of service individually, just not sure if it can be done that way with the Data Share Plans (they did not have those when I worked there.)
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 :/

Anyone know how to save new APNs? I'm on Omega ROM for the i9505, which has the old Cingular WAP settings in there but no 'ATT Phone' settings so I can use the LTE.
I enter the new APN then go to menu, and then save. However, instead of saving it just goes back to the screen with the one Cingular APN like I never entered or saved anything....

Hello! Yep I'm still kicking. Since the Inspire I went SGS2 > SGS3 > HTC One.
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.

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:

APN: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN Type: default,dun,supl
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol IPv4/IPv6
Bearer: Unspecified
The rest is empty or default
MMSC on mine says "not set"

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!
