Data Service is Blocked - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Just started today, and has been going on for most of the day:
Keep getting a notification saying Data Service is Blocked.
Reset my APN thinking it was that.. no go..
I'm on At&t
Anyone else Having this issue... I know if I call AT&T they are going to be clueless.

What version of OOS are you using? I had my network just complete lose service one time, had to reboot to recover. I have T-Mobile.

AT&T
4.5.5
Reboots aren't helping much.

Instead of reseting the APN go make a new one based on the settings suggested by AT&T. I had some data issues on T-Mobile and I noticed the was a couple of differences in the APN (hipri, supl) things like that. Nothing major but I had slower speeds and some apps couldn't connect. I created a new APN and everything has been butter since.

Have you checked your data limits? Mine was maxing out at 1GB and it shut of the data. I had to go in and set it to not turn off data and I raised the limit to 1TB.

I did check the data and I have barely used like 500mb.

I read about AT&T banning the use of a note fan edition based on the information provided by the imei.. The person had called to activate and optimize the data connection on their device.. A few hours later they had constant no service whatsoever.

My sim came from my 3t, which didn't have the issue.

Support had me factory reset it, didnt have the issue all evening.
I get into work this morning and it starts popping up every minute..
I'm wondering if its a signal issue?
When it happens, its in the process of changing from H+ to lte+

Yeah, the same argument could go for the guy who brought his sim from a note 5 to the fan edition.. It was just a possibility..

Please HELP! Data almost non-existent!!

Hey guys, I need some help.
I've been using my HD2 for two months now with little to no issue.
I've installed a couple of different Android ROMs with success, and enjoyed using them.
Recently I tried one that I didn't like, and decided to restore my phone to factory WinMO ROM.
Since then, I've had HORRIBLE data speeds...
I'm talking 50-60Kb/s where I used to get at LEAST 500Kb/s...
What on earth happened??
I'm currently on stock WinMO ROM with nothing flashed except for HSPL.
Can anyone help?

Well, I'm using stock Radio right now... 2.08.50.08_2
When I was on Android, I was using 2.15.50.14. That was the same one I had been using all along.
Makes no sense.
I actually did a Task29 and formatted the memory card, too. That should have erased everything.
Oddly enough, when I restored the phone to its original WinMO ROM, it had somehow remembered my Web2Go favorites.

You know, every time you change a build/ROM it may change the DNS settings. Have you double checked those? Most builds use a default Google DNS, but check your carrier, most likely T-Mobile. My thumbnail has those settings that can be found in the system/build.prop file; edit/add to look like mine.

What's your signal strength? Did you already mention that you're getting "H"?
I know you flashed the WMRom, but what Radio is it? Have you tried changing Radios after flashing stock Rom? I'm seeing a lot of different opinions on Roms from 2.10-2.15, but 2.10 seems to be the front-runner. I'll keep checking...
If you go to the settings tab > wireless controls > phone > band ; are network type and band frequency set on auto?
You can also change APN settings, check for alternate APN's. That's all I've found through Google and XDA...

I set my APN to match yours, and edited my build.prop to include your #DNS settings.
This is what I get for complaining that 500kb/s is not fast enough.
Maybe my pain can help you. I have been having the same terrible data speeds on both my HD2 and Mytouch Slide phones for almost a year. T-Mobile kept telling me to get new sim cards. That never helped for very long. Replaced all the phones and no change. My data slowed down to 50-60k just like yours. Dropped calls all over the place. Data stalling. T-Mobile gave up and said it was structural interference. I called BS. They even offered to cancel my contracts with no charge to me. I called in 2 days ago and spoke with someone in Tier 2 support who had a clue finally. She said I had old sims. I called BS. But she informed me that T-Mobile has new UICC SIMS that are designed for the 3.5G network they now run. Long story short I went to my local T-Mobile store and asked for 2 new UICC SIMS and that fixed the issue. I am now getting almost 4mbits down and 1.7mbits up on both lines with only 2 bars of signal in my house. No data stalls, no dropped calls, and the quality is better. Here is some info on wikipedia about the new UICC cards. They are basically a system on a chip and assist with the 3G communications stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UICC
Here is a whole thread about it in the T-Mobile forum with pictures of old vs new sim towards the bottom. http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/myTouch-4G/Updating-Sim-Card-Does-it-really-matter/m-p/546631

No worries, I was actually referring to WM on all accounts, since that's what you said that you were having a problem with. Searching through Google and XDA lead me to those questions and recommendations. The last post seems reasonable, I would check on that. Also, T-Mobile changed there DATA specs, and I saw that they lowered the bar to 5gs and a speed cap after, maybe you were pulling some speed doing something and they capped it? Don't know, but check on the SIM card deal, see what you got.

I checked... I have a new one. It has the "TM9073" on it.
Thanks, tho. THat was a good thought....
I actually got a text message this morning from T-Mobile:
"Free T-Mobile Message: Due to the amount of data you have used this billing cycle, your data speed will be slowed the remainder of the cycle."
So, that probably explains my 50-60kb/s speeds right now.
It still doesn't explain my typical 500kb/s, though...

It's probably because you hadn't reached the cap, yet. This is to prevent people to use phone as a modem and have internet basically for free, and not use their mobile broadban service. After the "billing cycle" it should go back up.

Unstable network connection (AT&T)

Hey guys so I love my nexus 4 I've had it for about three weeks now. One thing that is very frustrating is that my network connection is constantly going on and off. On the status bar it goes from full blue bars with an H and then all of a sudden I try to use an app and it says no network connection and the blue bars turn grey and it just goes on and off every couple seconds. It has done it probably 10 times as I'm writing this. Anyone else have this problem? Help!

I'm in the Chicago area and I get the same thing every so often. I downloaded an app called fresh network and it helps. When I get that fluctuating signal, I run the app and it connects me to a better tower and the issue goes away.

I have the same issue when I won't get my work emails and would have to disable/enable my "Data" connection in order to get my emails sync right away which is a little annoying.
Another issue that I have for example is that I can't run the "speedtest" App on my phone using the default APN from AT&T so after looking around I switched from WAP to PHONE (unfortunately I am on my company plan and don't know what kind of plan I have) and speedtest is now working fine.
And finally, I followed "gotzaDroid" and downloaded the "Fresh Network App" and my download speed spikes to 5Mbps (still using the PHONE APN instead of WAP) when it usually spikes at 2.7Mbps. As of right now, after playing with it for 5 minutes I can say that I am happy with this App.
i'm down here in houston and i was having the same problem. i have a grandfather plan from when the iphone first came out. dropped my sim card in and was barely even getting 2g speeds. couldn't even do a speed test. from what i've heard from other members on the forum is that AT&T doesn't recognize the N4 as an official smartphone in their database. you'd have to call them and get them to redirect their 4G data plan to your phone. there's a specific IMEI number you give them (not the one on your phone or else it'll turn up nothing in their database). if i find it, i'll post it here. once that's done, you should get the high speed data. but for me, i was done paying my grandfathered plan, over $100/month. i switched over to t-mobile's monthly plan and it's been awesome. got up to 15 MB/s even though sometimes is says 3G rather than H.
Similar issue. I have full bars, but its just the data connection which keeps flapping. (The H for HSPA keeps appearing disappearing) I am on the original iphone unlimited 4g data plan.
This happens only when using the "phone" APN (http://mmsc.mobile.att.net). But when i use the wap.cingular APN, no such issue. But obviously, with this APN, the speeds are unknown (speedtest app reports connectivity issue, but data works fine across all apps. And from feel, its definitely hspa with a H in the display)
EDIT: located in bay area.
I have also found today that sometimes toggling airplane mode on and off clears it up too

Reboot (not very practical) or making a call fix it. I'm on a n4 imei with the 4G (hspa not lte) unlimited personal smartphone plan.

You certainly can, with actual service..
for those on straight talk using att... line three and four of your apn. proxy and port. delete those. this will stop you from having to go through the starght talk servers in chicago. this should speed you up and hopefully fix you up. its also rumored to keep you from being throttled once you hit the threshold.
the same proxy trick can be done for those on att. i am not on t-mobile so i cannot speak for those.
it goes without saying... if you have never manually entered your apn since you got the nexus.... you need to find the correct apn and enter it. just inserting a sim card is not how you get the apn. it has to be entered manually or flashed in a modem (for carrier phones).
for those on att or att straight talk. all you need is one apn. and enter your phone and mms on the same one.

[Q] Dropping 4G LTE down to 3G

Hey, I don't know if this is a device issue or a problem with the carrier but, I've been dropping from 4G to 3G ever since I updated to the 4.4.4 NI2... this has never been an issue in my area before this update with any of the phones I've had. Anyone else having this issue or have any ideas as to why it's happening or how to fix it?
Thanks!
When I first did the update is set my access point name incorrectly, that's in more networks and mobile data.. Check that

I use it but not as my sms app... I've spoken with Verizon and they say it isn't their issue, Samsung said I could send the phone to them but it can't be a hardware issue because it only started after I updated to the NI2 firmware and modem.
So no one else is having this issue then? Cause Verizon is totally at a loss.

Verizon is a bunch of clueless idiots. I am seriously regretting my move from t-mobile. Verizon call quality, Bluetooth connections, and customer service are the absolute worse.
I wish I could help, but after doing some research it seems Verizon's poor signal quality and poorly designed networks are the cause of most of my issues. I have gone through two S5's and both are nearly unusable for phone calls. Network speed is the garbage. I am stuck with a pos phone and service for the next two years.
Seems like some kind of update in the area, after over a week I'm starting to hear complaints out of other phone users. Even a friend of mine who'd ranted about how if I had an iPhone 6 I'd still have 4G has now dropped to 3G while I'm starting to see 4G return little by little. It's been speculated that they are prepping for XLTE in my area and that could be the issue... little in the way of definitive explanation though.
Can someone post what there APN settings are, cause I looked around and the settings I see online do not match exactly my settings.
Settings, more networks, access point names. Unfortunately that won't give you any options. In google hangouts, settings, SMS, scroll down to advanced, access point names, that's where I had to change mine.

I'm having this issue here in LA. I chalked it up to the new NI2 modem at first, but I've flashed back and forth with NE9, NHA, and even NCG (original) and still seeing my 4-5 bars of 4G LTE drop mysteriously to 3-4 bars of 3G for no apparent reason. I'm even getting 1x at times. Also, to clarify, this is all while sitting still at my office in downtown LA.
The wall I have hit is simply:
Samsung offered to have me send the phone to them for possible repairs, which means going without my phone for at least 3 to 4 weeks...
Verizon, a corporate employee has confirmed that this is an issue that has been getting brought up more and more and they're working to correct the issue with the next OTA update. The problem is how random this issue is... why are some devices seeing the signal loss and others not?
It's a waiting game at this point.

Cricket Wireless - Is the network down (maybe) ?

I haven't had service to my nexus 6p for almost three weeks, but I was able to pay for re-establishing service sometime around 1:28am on a whim that I might of got paid. This is when the problems started...LTE kept coming in and out very rapidly, I rebooted twice - did not work, so I figured maybe something was corrupt so I fastbooted N4F26J, N4F26O, NBD91K....26J-260 kept bootlooping. It went past the google animation screen, so I know I wasn't getting the BLOD I've heard everyone mentioning. Right now my phone is working, but I remembered I had saved NRD91U from that one time I decided to use Squabbi's Toolkit. I am now successfully booting, but now data is not working - just like before. I checked online to see if maybe Cricket had a network down issue and a lot of reports were coming in that people were having issues. I'm checking to see if a radio - mobile data issue could ever cause me so many issues. I think ill wait until the morning to figure out what the hell is going on, but I seriously doubt it's an issue with the phone as much as it is an issue with Cricket's network. Let me know if any you other cricket users have had issues too.

Is there a way to get tethering working without root on cricket wireless?

For free? Not really. Get a phone that will tether without checking entitlement. If you want to pay all you need is to borrow a cricket branded phone that supports tethering, put your SIM card in it, turn the phone on and let it register, add the tethering feature to your line, then put the SIM back into your regular phone. It will continue to work as long as you don't make any changes to your account. I don't know why they only allow you to sign up with certain phones, I guess it saves them on troubleshooting costs.
So I ended up ditching my 6p and got a Pixel XL. It was fun but I kept having connection issues and have zero issues with the pixel so far and I've been using it now for 3 days . Same areas I'd get drop in connection and data service my pixel is still blazing fast.

Early reviews on Verizon??

Just wondering how this phone is working on Verizon. Mainly in regards to download speeds when off WiFi.
Many reviews showed almost half of what fully compatible phones get.

Just wondering how this phone is working on Verizon. Mainly in regards to download speeds when off WiFi.
Many reviews showed almost half of what fully compatible phones get.

So i have not had a chance to check download speeds, so far so good but no actual numbers yet. I cannot receive sms messages. Phone calls, LTE and sending texts is ok, spent the last 2 hours with a tech, they are unaware of the new phone so they are not much help. Came from a Pixel 2 XL pulled sim and switched, and boom issues....

I'd call again and specifically request a ""CDMA-less" option for your SIM card/line. I get mine tomorrow and if I'm unable to receive SMS then that's what I'll have to do.

I just read through another thread. He did have me do the *#*#INFO#*#* option and we played around with different networks. I should have read the other thread first though, giving it a try now!

I've read that as well... If you get into the options you just need to select LTE only under network type and texting should work.
I'm doing some download test now with my pixel 3 for comparison.
It's such a weird that that the phone is approved on Verizon yet, cannot receive SMS.
Anyone on Verizon waiting for this and feeling the sense of doom?
Having no issues on Verizon so far. Everything works

which plan do you have?
Also, have those with txt or sms issues checked APN settings? i have a feeling that is the culprit.

It is a shared data plan for my company. The problem is CDMA_LESS provisioning. It seems some 6T IMEI numbers are not in the Verizon system which is probably the biggest problem.
Everything works except receiving sms. Sim came from Pixel 3 XL.
Have rebooted, factory reset, cleared app cache as well as cache in recovery. Sim works fine back in Pixel 3. Chat was no help.
We already have a thread with same topic: Feeling about the 6t on Verizon?
Please continue your discussion there. Thanks.
