I cant get data to work no matter what I do. I am 2 weeks to late to return to the store and I am at wits end.
If anyone could assist I would be forever gracious and would even paypal you a beer/coffee... :good:
Thanks.

You sure you've got the apn settings and radio correct? If so it's either a hardware problem or it's not on your end but an issue with the carrier. You've tried everything I would do.

I believe some APN settings are case sensitive. Please check/confirm.

You're welcome! I only learnt of the case sensitivity through sharpehenry too! Will thank them after posting this

EDIT: I see that your issue was resolved and I didn't even read to the end! I was posting about your APN settings being case sensitive. I'm glad you got it figured out! Please share how to fix that with others!

[Q] PLZ PLZ help..3g and 4g issue

Hi there. Im on EB13 and not running any customs rums. I upgraded from DK28 using the samsung file from the samsung website. Ever since I went from DI18 to DK28 last month i keep dropping 3g or 4g signal. the problem still exists even when i upgraded to EB13. The interesting thing is that the phone shows I have 3g or 4g signal on the notification bar but im not able to load webpages or the market or use youtube (i get a "connection failed! try again" error). It'd be working for like 10 minutes and then disconnects. I have to toggle 3g/4g off and on and i will be back online for like another 10 minutes. This issue is really annoying since i used the web a lot. Is any body else experiencing this? does any one have a fix or can some at least direct me to a direction for a fix? thank y'all

thank you. i will give it a go but i doubt it will fix the problem. I have used odin several times before and besides the rotation issue that it causes (i know the fix to it) i like using it. But i have heard that the samsung update tool does the same thing as odin and it flashes everything prior to writing new files to the phone. It may just be a modem issue but again im a noob and i may just be talking out of my rear
Try removing the proxy settings off the data radio. On the dialer do this:
Get your MSL code first then
##data#
Edit
Others
Multimedia
Then change all proxy addresses to: 0.0.0.0 and the proxy ports to 0. Back out of the menus and reboot the phone.
Let me know how it goes.

prevent ppl from streaming data all day. It will slow down the network a bit in some areas. But we are lucky. The thiefs over at verizon got a data cap to 5gb. We do aswell but sprint turns a blind eye just like tmobile.

rooting will not kill your network connection. that's something that you did. you need to provide a LOT more information in order to have people help you out,
what ROM are you on, what settings did you change, what mobile carrier are you on, etc. etc. this is a simple fix, but we need to know what caused it first. :good:

Well the person above me said it. You just made a mountain out of a mole hill by giving out your imei to everyone on xda. Anyway, have you tried a factory reset? If that doesn't work take it to Best Buy and tell them Kies wrecked havoc on your device and they can re-flash your phone for free. Don't tell them it was your fault.

I don't know what the problem is but you should be able to flash the stock firmware in Odin and get your phone working again. Double check this in the i9500, i9505, i9505G S4 forum. You can get the stock firmware from sammobile.com

He should be able to flash it himself. The i9505 is not locked down like the i337. It's an international version so he probably can't take it to best buy, which is what I was responding to.

Data enabled, but no internet connection
Hello,
I have the stock rooted i337 (AT&T), running on another provider network. I am aware that i337 is very difficult to do modifications due to the built-in by AT&T vicious locks to prevent using it with other network providers. This is the reason I did not flash ROM, because I am afraid to get my phone bricked and lose it entirely. Recently I subscribed to a data plan from a third party provider and I have 4G in the status line and HSPA in the data type, but I still did not have internet connection when WiFi was disabled, except that my Hotmail somehow worked. No other apps requiring internet worked. I spent a week researching the issue myself as well as working with the provider's tech support, but nothing worked. Two days ago, almost out of despair, I installed a new app called Opera Max, which is developed to route the unencrypted data to their Virtual Private Network in order to compress it and save the data use. As soon as I connected to VPN, all applications started working. I still have to turn Opera Max off when I use WiFi, because it disconnects my WiFi every few minutes, claiming that WiFi signal is too low. (My signal is very strong and no other devices have any issues with WiFi). However, this is a minor problem, considering that Opera Max saved my data plan.
It is still a mystery to me why Hotmail worked, but no other apps and why using Opera Max VPN solved the problem. If anybody has ideas, I will be happy to hear.
I must say that all data settings, including APN are checked, rechecked and correct, so this was not the issue.
Thanks,
Dan
I am also having connection issues after rooting my S4 i9505:
I am on a Telcel (Mexico) which is supposed to support 4G connections... However, ever since I rooted I can only access 2G/GSM networks. I have the official APN network configuration and I have tried two roms but still no luck...
Any advice would be most welcome.

[Q] No service after trying LTE

Hi
I was playing around with my phone and tried the old hack through the settings screen, *#*#4636#*#*.
Switched it to LTE and set up a new APN for Rogers LTE.
It Didn't work. After more reading I discovered this wouldn't work for me anyway. I have Android 4.4.2 and I don't think my SIM is LTE enabled.
I rebooted thinking it would just go back to the original settings.
It seems to have gone back but now I have No signal at all.
I am with Rogers. I tried going back to the original APN settings and selecting Rogers.
The phone is finding the correct networks for my area.
I tried the Reset to default in the APN settings. This sets the APNs to Rogers LTE and chatr, not the original Rogers APN that I started with.
The phone is rooted but running stock Android 4.4.2.
The baseband seems correct.
What have I done and how do I fix it?
Have I done something to the Rogers SIM?
Thanks

Had to assume that because I've never seen someone try LTE without doing so.
What you can try is find the stock radio, which might still be the same as you are using, then flash it. Maybe that will reset things back to normal.

No luck.
I tried flashing the stock radio then flashed everything using efrant's instructions. Still no go.
The thing I find strange is when I select Reset to default in the APN settings it sets the APN to Rogers LTE not the default 3G setting.
Delete the Rogers LTE apn and make a new one with this info:
Name: Rogers
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
MMSC: http ://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN Type: mms
You can also try this one:
APN: internet.com
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
Go to phone info *#*#4636#*#*, and change network type to WCDMA Preferred. Reboot, and see if that does it.
I've done that several times.
Still won't connect.
The error is; No service. Selected network (ROGERS) unavailable.
When I search networks Telus, Bell and Rogers all show up.
I've tried selecting Rogers and selecting automatically. When I select automatically it selects Rogers but comes back with the same error.

That was already suggested.
I have tried wiping everything out and flashing a complete stock 4.4.2.
I've also tried another Rogers SIM.
This is getting ridiculous.
All I did was change a setting from "WCDMA Preferred" to "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)" and back again and that killed a phone?

I find this very strange. I use the secret menu on two phones but have never heard of this happening. My N4 will only lose signal for a few moments before switching to gsm autoprl, after switching from LTE/GSM.

Mystery solved.
I don't know why it happened at exactly the time when I tried LTE but...
The phone has been reported lost or stolen.
I bought it over two weeks ago. I checked the IMEI on the Government web site, that is supposed to protect us from this kind of thing, and it came back clean. I checked again last night and it's blacklisted.
I would say the girl that I bought it from got it on a $0 contract. Sold it then reported it lost or stolen. She's still on the hook for the contract but, so what, she'll never really have to pay it. Either that or it takes 2-3 weeks for a phone to show up on the blacklist.
Either way, the Government initiative to blacklist stolen or lost phones sounded like a good idea but in reality it's not protecting anyone.
So, now I have a small tablet and learned a lesson. Don't buy used cell phones and if you do, don't trust the protectyourdata.ca web site to protect you.
The site boasts;
"Purchasing a pre-owned device?
Check the IMEI number here to ensure the device has not been reported lost or stolen in Canada."
Thanks for trying to help folks. I did learn more about Android through this.

I've seen about 2 or 3 threads on Android Central with the same symptoms that seemed to never get resolved.
I suspect they had the same problem and either didn't know how to check or were to embarrassed to say.
I was upset but I want others to be able to find this answer.
Through buying and selling different phones working my way up to the Nexus 4 I'm really only $110 out of pocket.
A 16GB Android media player with WiFi must be worth $110.
So, is there a way to eliminate the wireless radio and leave WiFi?
I guess I should start another thread on that.

Airplane mode also turns of the WiFi.
I just pulled the SIM, deleted all APNs, turned off Mobile Data and left WiFi on.

Unlocked, rooted and flashed a USB-OTG enabled kernel. This is great fun...

You can turn wifi on with airplane mode on as well. Just do it after airplane mode is already on.

Thank you for this. I am running stock rooted NC2. Going to try the NC4 file to see if it helps. Both data and voice have not been great on my phone lately. Even text messages have failed sometimes.
Are these instructions correct?
-download modem file, extract
-start Odin.
-Select "phone" and fetch the modem.bin file.
-Only thing checked should be "Auto Reboot"
-Put phone in download mode
-Plug in USB
-hit Start
-reboot

I'm on vacation right now so I can't completely confirm but the modem file should show up in the ap slot. It varies from phone and area but nc4 works great for me. Some people are using the mje modem on kk. It's a trial and error for you. Hope it's just the modem and not your phone.

I experienced this issue when running on GSM networks, i fixed my data stability issue by adjusting my APN settings and changing a couple of uncommon things such as adjusting mvno type to IMSI, bearer type to LTE, and removing the port for data (not MMS!), and fixed my signal stability issue by upgrading or downgrading the modem depending on what rom i was running.
If I am under verizon because they do not use GSM how do I Change apn setting and also whatever else do I have to change on a non rooted phone.

I'm not quite sure why you'd need to change APN settings if you're still on verizon (unless you're using a network that runs off of verizon towers). But the answer to your question is go to settings > mobile networks > Access Point Names. You'll need to leave MCC and MNC as they are. Those change based on what kind of network you are connected to. If you change those your APN settings will not save.
Hi Christaina do you think by changing those setting will help my phone from dropping data on and of while on foxfi and surfing the net

That honestly sounds like a modem issue but could potentially be fixed by apn settings by actually setting the authentication type, APN type set to default,hirpri,internet,mms I don't know any of the verizon APN settings because im using this phone on straight talk through AT&T towers.

Mms issues cant send/rec

I didn't notice this before but I'm able to send SMS and receive them just not MMS - today a friend sent a pic and I could not open it. Carrier is Verizon not sure if that matters because I'm seeing others have the same issue with other carriers.
Messenger or google messenger doesn't download them either.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks

Any problems with MMS. no matter what phone or rom, always ALWAYS triple check your APN. A phone call to Verizon will verify if you have the correct APN and make sure there isn't problems on their end.

& remember that Verizon "thinks" it is Roaming (although not), so insure you have your MMS settings set appropriately

Yep just did and works great now! Thanks
OK so... I had to factory reset my phone and right away had issues... tried to send a text message and it didn't work. So I went through the steps of setting the APN up. But it hasn't worked.
I've done the whole thing with using a GSM sim to get the + and add APN...but nothing.
Anyhow, I was hoping someone can tell me the latest APN settings for Verizon. Perhaps they have changed. I'm just getting really cheesed off with all of this and nothing seems to be working. I love this phone but this is just getting on my nerves now.
Please help thanks

These are the APN values I'm using on Verizon postpaid: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68263623&postcount=61
Thanks!
I'm using pre paid will that make a difference?
I was having a bad day yesterday. Im in the right mind to get this fixed now.

Should be the same values for Verizon Prepaid (different if you're on a Verizon MVNO). Did you make sure to enable Data Roaming?

oh I feel so DUH! I knew it would be something simple.
That's going on the list of "if-you-ever-reset-your-phone-again"
Thanks again!
