I changed ROM's and I cant get data back. Ive tried multiple and its a no go. I NEED my data. What do I do? Ive checked my APN settings....help!!!
what network are you on?
have you tried deleting all other APN's except the one you need?
Do you have signal at all / are you connected to the phone network and able to take / receive calls? or is nothing working?

I am on Straight Talk.
I just deleted the other "ATT" apn that was there. Currently only have the ST one selected and present.
I have "H+" in the notification pane and its "blue" meaning what i thought was "active data". But nothing

has the data worked at any point before?
This is the problem that lots of people over in this thread are having ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2084706&
We are hoping for some sort of fix to this in 4.2.2, but until then we haven't been able to find a solution. If you are 100% certain the APN settings are correct (I can't help with that as from UK so not familiar with that network) then there isn't much you can do. For me, the only thing I ever find that sometimes brings it back is if I turn airplane mode on, leave it for 30 seconds then turn it off again. Likewise, you can click on the APN to reset that each time.
If you are rooted, Faux released a modified kernal which is meant to improve data drops and the wake issue which some nexus's have.

did you cut your own micro sim?
try a spare sim if you have one.
Reset APN to default, delete all and try again.
I don't know what else to suggest other than the above / phoning google / rooting and trying a different kernal and ROM / wait for 4.2.2 update.
(In the meantime please post in the thread linked above, no need for this duplicate thread just for your issue )

Which ROM were you on when you first noticed the problem?

Hi,
There's one thing that bothers me in every ROM out there and even on my own. I don't have an unlimited data plan and I hate the fact that I have pull my SIM card every time I want to try a new ROM. The problem is that if I don't, I'll be charged for access cause every ROM has the mobile connection enabled by default.
I can't find any setting anywhere in the ROM files to change this behavior... Maybe I overlooked? Does anyone if it can be done and how?

AFAIK you can just press menu when you're in setup and then choose to edit APN. Go to your APN and just put a random letter somewhere in the address to prevent it from working.
At least it's possible doing that using a vanilla ROM, not sure about sense
IIRC, during setup it asks if you want to connect through mobile network & wifi or wifi only. Just select Wifi only.

Exactly, "during setup" and not at startup. It always connects through before I can select "wifi only".

Indeed. The setting is initially set to Mobile Network & Wi-Fi, until you change it in the setup wizard or settings. It's really annoying for people with no data-plan.
You could remove the APN list from your ROM to prevent it. Also, there are a few XML files with default settings. If you are lucky, it contains the Data Connection settings, and you can change it.

Maybe for you and your country network operators. It's not about the data downloaded or the time it takes for me to disconnect it. As soon as it makes a connection, I'm charged a fee.
just hold the END button and chosse turn mobile network off?
Yeah, this is a problem for me. ROMs never used to do this so it wasn't a problem, but recent ROMs have started connecting as soon as I first turn them on, which costs me 99¢ each time.
(The pricing is: 99¢ per day for 50MB, and anything extra is charged per KB)
I've lost a couple of euro to this. It's not a big deal, but it's a pain alright.

It's not quick enough...
Is the default apn profile the wrong one? I am currently at work and without wifi, would like to fix this to be able to at least make calls. As it stands, I believe nothing works. Texts, data, mms and calls. I am unable to edit the APN as well, which is odd since the default is incorrect. Any way around this? Will updating the prl or something restore my settings?
Fixed by using: "##72786# " to reset the APN settings.Will leave this thread in case anyone else has the same problem in the future.
Thanks! Just got back from Spain and even though I had saved my APN's before installing an Orange SIM card, it wouldn't restore when I got home. I was completely confused and tried several different things, but this fixed it!

After several hours of frustration I came across this thread and found exactly what I needed! Thanks for sharing
Hello,
It seems I frequently lose my APN and Mobile data. Every 30-40 mins if not used, it's gone.
I have to go to Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names>APN (not set)>and type in: vzwinternet... a few seconds later it pulls the data and works fine. The next time I need it, gone.
I'm running Hyperdrive ROM at the moment but have tested Jellybean, Baja and a few others with the same issue.
I have reformated, deleted and wiped all rom slots in safestrap.
My search of this forum and of google yields me a previous issue similar to this on an LG from 2011, and google reveals people looking for APN settings but no real solution.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

its not big problem. if you can't access the apn then just use the apn of you prepaid.(your phone must be rooted and restarted). but knew that this phone gets the anp automatically.

It's not prepaid. It's not a big problem, just annoying. After I set the APN to vzwinternet, I save it. It still does not hold the settings. I am rooted, obviously, had have re-booted, and tried with other roms as well and have the same result.
Hi Folks,
Having this nagging problem on my 950xl, while i was on insider preview of 10586.107, i got a message while paying tubecast that my 3G data is not working, and that it was a known issue. as i was out of town i dint go much then, but once i was back home i tried all the below stuff.
1) Soft Reset
2) Hard reset to Factory
3) Hard reset to factory and upgrade to latest firmware, and build 14267.1002.
None of which have resolved my problem, my phone shows H+, H,E and 2G symbols but when i put a url in edge or try gettings emails etc, it never connects to the internet.
I even managed to go to FieldTest to see if any bands are switched off but even there everything was fine.
I even logged a call with service provider, to see if its a server side problem, but they say its ok on their side.
Any suggestions? do you think my phone is faulty? anyone encountered this before and manage to fix this?
It seems you don't have an APN configured. Please check that you do.
Fixed...hurray

Thanks for the response, i had the APN configured both automatically and Manually. but it dint work before.
Update: Not sure what happened...after 6 days of no data, and lots of calls to vodafone...something happened. and data is working again now. hope it stays that way.
Have you try to reset to official build? And to me it seems like it could be a hardware issue rather than a software/firmware, since didn't see others have similar one.
I have the same problem. Hope you were able to find a solution. My problem also with wifi not able to find any network.
Connectivity
I am also having connectivity issues with my unbranded 950XL dual sim. On data, it appears to be logging on to an inappropriate network. Unlike previous OS's, I can't figure out how to get this one to manually select another network. There are some WiFi networks, usually at hotels, that I just simply cannot log on to. Everyone else can. Any advise will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Under the SIM settings, there's a "Scan for Network" or similar button, which will present a list of the providers available. This allows you to correct a mis-selected provider, manually.
On the WiFi issue, I responded to your other thread. Let me know if you aren't seeing that, and I'll post here too.

My bad, I guess it seemed so similar, I thought it was your post too. Either way, I describe the fix for 5G network connectivity, which I think is what *most* people are seeing.
Is anyone else having issues with their phone sending txt messages. Mainly on AT&T. I send a txt and sometimes (probably about 40% of the time) it takes 30sec-3min to send a txt.
I thought it was my rom (PN6) since I dirty flashed from the first PN6 to the last. So I just recently clean flashed PN7 to see if that solved the problem but im still having the issue.
Anyone else having this issue? And/or do you recommend anything?
Anyone?
Ive tried clearing the app data.
Ive tried clearing the device cache via the storage setting in settings
Ive tried clearing the cache in TWRP
Ive tried toggling the permissions for messenger
Ive tried Hangouts to see if it was app specific.
I got a new SIM card from AT&T
The only thing i havent tried is putting my SIM card in a different phone (because i dont have a spare phone) to see if its phone related or server related.
I'd advise to flash to stock factory images and see if it still happens. If not, it's an issue with Pure Nexus and you can try to get support in the official thread. If it still happens, I'd probably talk to AT&T tech support. They might be working on some towers or something. I don't personally have the issue on Project Fi, but I also don't use Pure Nexus.
Texts are normally sent over 1x I believe. I remember reading that AT&T is shutting down their 2g network by the end of the year. They might have shut it down already in your area. Maybe the texts are timing out and then being routed over 3g/4g?
Type *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer>phone information>turn on sms over ims>reboot. Worth a try

I went into that menu but i didnt see a "turn on SMS over IMS"
That menu looks way different then when it did with 6.0.1 when we used to have to toggle LTE and GSM to get LTE to connect.
Update
I noticed that if i send a txt and its stuck on "sending" if i go tin to the *#*#4636*#*# menu and toggle "Cellular Radio Power" off then on the "stuck" txt send right away.
