[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.

Hey thanks. I had done this trick before and it didnt seem to help. I will do it again just to see if it makes a difference on EB13.

Did you figure anything out? You could always try to update your prl?

Why does sprint put these Proxy settings in place? What are they trying to achieve by having them setup?

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.

No 3G on Nexus S after flashing ROM

I have a Rogers/Fido/Telus Nexus S. I tried a bunch of ROM's, CM7, ASOP, NSColab, Honycomb port. And then I realized that my 3G stopped working. I'm only getting Edge. My baseband version says "NO DGSXXXKB1", in the bootloader, carrier info says ATT. Any ideas?

do I need to re-flash the GRI40 radio again?

Same problem here. Initially all was working fine, then I tried to play with 2G/3G settings in Power Widget (CM7) since then, I am only able to get Edge connection.
I reset, changed firmwares, went back to my original Nandroid backup, no help.
I was also getting the Roaming Icon indicator on Fido's network, even though I purchased the Fido branded Nexus-S...
Tried changing Radio, KB1 and KB3, still no go.
I have owned Nexus One, Desire, Desire HD, Samsung Galaxy-S and Nexus-S
Never had issues except with Samsung phones!
Anyway, relocked NAND and this phone is going back.

Same. I was ASOP and the 2G was enable by default. I changed it to 3G and never saw 3G again. I thought swapping radios would do it, apparently not. Really weird. I guess I'm returning mine as well. Hopefully Future Shop will not snoop around too much.
Do you think odin would work?

The version of the phone changed to GRI40 which if I'm not mistaken is the T-mobile one. Which would explain everything. I hope one of the devs could help us out.

APN missing?

I have the same problem guys. After flashing CM7, I can only get edge connection. Whenever I turn on 3G from the toggle, a "H" sign will appear,but no internet at all! Wtf. Hope there is a solution for this. Back on stock nexus s (slcd i9023) for now

i just read somewhere else that after flashing the wcdma setting in *#*#4636#*#* got set to the wrong option. so type that and go change it back to wcdma preferred, or your preference.

Never hit the 2G/3G button. Its broken, been broken and doesnt work as of yet. Just dont hit it.

Had the same problem. For some reason it was on the wrong band (if that's possible). in the *#*#4636#*#*, phone information, menu, select radio-band, USA, and fixed!

Still getting no 3G/H on my CM7. I even tried the *#*#4636 method, still no go. However I can surf the browser to sites like google, facebook etc. But whenever I want to sync my google acc, I will get a network error. Wtf? One thing that I noticed is that, my signal bars won't "light up" (but I can surf the net). Another thing, after flashing to CM7, my build number changed to GRI40 instead of GRI54 in the settings on stock. Maybe that is the problem?

Put this into your dial pad: *#*#4636#*#*
Then hit Phone Information
Then hit the menu button and select radio band, the select corresponding Country.
USA will fix our issues.

I found a dirty workaround for this problem. Turn on airplane mode, then turn it off. Worked for me.

Same issue for me on the Nexus One. 3G icon is there when phone is idle. As soon as I try to do anything data-related (ie. browser) it switched to an H.
Tried setting to USA, no dice. APN is internet.com

crap I guess no root for my nexus S until this canadian carrier thing is resolved...

I thought i would throw in my experiance
I bought a Nexus S from Telus, and i am using it with a Sasktel Sim on Bell/Sasktel network (live in sask but have a national account from Bell) and on stock, i could never get H.....only the 3g would show up. But that was short lived because i flashed CM7 on it and the H now appears and works perfectly fine
So i dunno if its a Rogers frequency thing/problem, but the phone works great on HSPA on Bell/Sasktel
Cheers

No sms no mms on mytouch 4g help!

I have my friends mytouch 4g that I rooted and was working fine with cm7 and all of the sudden he couldn't receive sms or send sms I can't find the problem. I flashed the phone to three different rims and the same thing happens sms still does not work. I was thinking if it was the radio update has anything to do with it since it does not have the latest radio update issued in the month of May. If anybody can help me out please do or if anybody has the similar problem let me know. Thanks.

I know for royal ginger you needed to use go sms to receive picture messages but I believe it was fixed with the update I still use go sms so not sure if it works with the stock message app.

So far I have found APN being
wap.voicestream.com
epc.tmobile.com
internet2.voicestream.com
might want to try those
i use the epc.tmobile.com one

Thanks guys. I will try to change the APN see what happens since I don't have my laptop with me to flash the latest radio on the phone. Funny thing is that it doesn't work on original stock Rom either, no sms or mms on stock messenger app. I flash three different roms before flashing stock Rom. The phone had cm7 and had it on the phone for months then it just stoped receiving and sending sms last Friday. I flashed a sense Rom, a cm7 nightly and even Miui latest Rom and everything works but sms.
I will try the APN setting see what happens now.
Thanks guys.

Changing the APN's did not work. The phone already had epc.T-Mobile.com and still no sms working. I will try changing to a gingerbread radio since the phone still had stock radio.

Here's something; phones can be disabled from being able to receive or send texts (My dad had it forever) it's usually a user enabled thing so you might want to call up tmo and ask about it. other than that I can only see it being the radio.

I have the same problem as the OP, but it only happened after I installed MIUI. (OFFICIAL MIUI.us 1.11.11:: ||demonspeedMOD INSIDE||)
I've been on Stock Sense and CM7 for almost a year now, and after I installed MIUI, I can't receive MMS or SMS anymore. I haven't tried going back to CM7, but I'll post if that fixes anything.
The weird thing is that my MMS and SMS in MIUI was working for the first day or two, and then all of a sudden it stopped. I can still send SMS and MMS, but I cannot receive them.
I have the latest radios and a kernel functional for the ROM, but everything is functional except for the MMS and SMS.
Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.
11/21 UPDATE: Well I just tried using a 3rd party SMS/MMS app (Go SMS) and it works like a charm. Both SMS and MMS work perfectly.
Glad everything is working now. I just kinda assumed at first that nobody wanted to talk to me anymore.

[Q] Cannot download MMS on AT&T Galaxy S4.

This has been driving me nuts. Keep receiving the download button on all MMS messages on both of our phones. Clicking on download does nothing.
Me and the Wife are both having the same problem. I'm on MDL and she is on MF3 and we are both running stock Galaxy S4's. We could send and receive MMS's when we first got the phones and they both stopped being able to do it around the same time. I've rooted mine but her's is pure stock. Data is on and we have also tried wifi. Nothing seems to work. Can receive regular text messages and access the internet. Just MMS's won't work.
Any ideas? I'm at a loss here!

Have you checked the apns?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

I did and the APNs seem to be ok. Did some more digging and is there a known issue with Adblocker Plus blocking MMS messages? I tried turning that off and it suddenly got my MMS's sending and receiving again. Odd thing is my Wife's S4 doesn't have it installed and was having the exact same issue. Going to test further and see if just leaving Adblocker Plus off solves it.

Just want to confirm that this was an adblock issue for me. As soon as I turned adblock off, mms worked like a charm.

I had same problems all the time until I update to KitKat. This is common bug for this builds. Try some KitKat roms from development section. Or if you don't care about root or recovery ETC. just update to KitKat.

I'm running [KitKat][RoM]&[KERNEL]&[RECOVERY][I337-XXUFNB8-4.4.2-KK][SHOstock-i v5.0] [03/01/14] and updated my modem 2 different times and still no luck.
My husband has the same phone S4, not rooted, and today he finally updated his phone to kitkat through AT&T ota and he's having the same issue with sending/receiving MMS.

Then this can be problem with sim card. Go to closest At&t store and replace them.

I use to have this problem on an older phone, S2, whenever I was connected to wifi when I received an MMS. Disconnecting from the wifi and trying again to download the MMS worked.

Talk about unearthing an old message!
Yeah, I haven't had this issue in ages. No issue on either of our S4s. Mine is rooted and her's is stock but neither of us have upgraded to Kit Kat yet. Still have Adblock on my phone but haven't experienced any issues. Can't remember what all I had to do to resolve the issue but it's been working fine ever sense!

I had a similar issue and this fixed it.

Issues with MMS reception while on WIFI with Android Messenges

I am on T Mobile and I have had issues receiving MMS messengers while on WIFI. Does anyone have a fix for this? I read previously that there was an APN setting to change but I am not sure. Thanks in advance! Also, this is using Android Messages (Stock APP).

Haven't changed anything and it's working on my end..also on T-Mobile...

I had the same issue and I am on TMobile also. If WiFi was on, I could not send nor receive MMS. I fixed it with this: https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/61843
---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------
Once I made the changes I was able to send MMS and receive them

I'm also on T-Mobile and was not receiving mms when on Wi-Fi, but receiving them fine. The problem was fixed when I turned off Wi-Fi calling. Hope that fixes your issue also.

I agree the problem is fixed by turning off WiFi calling, but WiFi calling is something I want to keep on

Okay so I noticed wifi calling wasn't on for me when it was working. I went and checked my APN settings and they were wrong. I corrected them using the settings in the link a few posts up and now it works with wifi calling on for me

I also used the above fix, it seems to be working as well. Thanks

I have bookmarked that TMO page. Just a FYI, my pixel unlocked and unbranded does not have this problem

I am going to run by t-mobile today, I'm trying to gauge my signal with my wife iPhone today to see if it's the same.

As with the MMS on Wifi .. the APN that the Essential pulls is not complete .. NONE of the 4 it pulls. I would go in and edit yours. The MMS while on wifi regardless of wifi calling on or off .. should be fixed with the proper APN. Remember that you should reboot after changing the APN. My wife's was having an issue with MMS and weird signal issues. I fixed her up with a proper APN. It's a pitfall of a non-carrier phone. My U11 suffered the same issues. Anyway. Give a proper APN a shot.

I did this but am still having reception issues as well as MMS issues

To clarify if you make this chnage to get it to work, you need "Cellular" checked under Wifi Calling. If you have WiFi calls as preferred it still does not work. These changes and that setting allow the phone to jump back and forth when needed, correct?

Sure it does. I just sent a gif from Gboard and a photo from my gallery to the wife and she's got an Essential on TMO. It works fine.
Again, a proper APN will make all this work properly.

What have those of you on Verizon been doing?

Hello - I saw this post while looking for an MMS solution for my PH-1 on AT&T. I have had Verizon, Sprint, Google Fi, and AT&T on this phone, and the only one that I could send/receive SMS/MMS was on Verizon while on my work network's WiFi. I work in a school building behind three layers of cinder block walls, and I have to have a way for this to work. I could go back to VZW, but I'm trying to avoid their high and not-unlimited Unlimited plans' rates. Can you direct me to the correct APN settings for AT&T? Thanks!
