Unlocked Legend no service

I picked up a Legend from Virgin Mobile to use with Fido. Had it unlocked through mobileincanada.com
I played around with the network settings and can't get it to pick up a network. I get a message that says "error while searching for networks", and when i click select network automatically it says "your sim card does not allow connections to this network"
When i put my sim card back into my old phone everything is fine.
Any ideas????

I have exactly the same problem, and it happens more often when roaming.
Solutions are: rebooting the phone or manually selecting the network
PS: I've seen this happening on my father's desire too

I've tried both solutions but it still doesn't work. I need to get this phone going, not sure if i can return it since i have unlocked it.
Could it be that my sim card is the problem. I currently have an Nokia e71 with a data plan that it works with......

I know you can take an unlocked phone and put it in virgin, it has the instructions for how to do it on the virgin website.
Maybe call up fido and ask what you need to do to hook your unlocked phone onto their network.
This is what you need to put an unlocked phone on to virgin so I assume you'll need these 3 things from fido.
APN: inet.bell.ca
Proxy server: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80

thanks for the help it worked!!!
Man i just thought i had bad luck. Weird thing is that i had tried a bunch of different settings and would reboot. Didn't work, i seriously must have tried 20 diff settings and combinations. What worked was one that im sure i must have tried 5 times already. After a reboot it just worked
this is what i used
apn: internet.fido.ca
and everything else default or blank

CDN Nexus S: Roaming indicator

I don't own an NS but I am hearing reports that some folks are getting a roaming indicator on when they use the 850/1900 Nexus S on Fido. Don't know if it matters whether the NS was bought from Fido or from another carrier. In this situation, it is necessary to (dangerous!) enable data roaming to get any data at all.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any bright devs got ideas on how to fix it?

Bump. Any ideas?
Sent from my Nook Color!

Bought from BestBuy today, (Fido version) and Roaming indicator is on.
I flashed CM7-RC4, MIUI 1.4.8...same issue. Then I decided to flash Radio from original I9020AUCKB2 to suggested version (I9020XXKB3)
Issue is still there + now my carrier shows-up as Rogers Wireless, not Fido
Will try different things and report back

For the specific case of CM7 + Fido, you might consider turning on the "National data roaming" option. It should shut off the roaming indicator for all carriers with the same country code as your SIM. Since all CDN networks you can access with a Fido SIM are covered without roaming charges (except Dryden, Ontario and Northwest Territories), this is a less risky option than keeping all data roaming on.
Of course you would not want to enable such an option on a Wind or Mobilicity SIM with the i9020T, because then you could rake in huge charges.

Using new Stable Release (CM-7) and using National Roaming takes care of this, The right carrier name shows-up (Fido) and the r icon is no longer present.
Thanks!

I noticed that a funny work around is to turn on airplane mode, then turn off airplane mode.
The roaming "R" symbol disappears and the correct carrier name appears. APN settings should appear automatically, but if they do not Fido's APN settings are the following.
APN: internet.fido.ca
USER: fido
PASS: fido
You will have to do the airplane mode on-off trick each time you restart the phone to get rid of the roaming R symbol.
I'm using Fido with a Nexus S for Koodo.

the people at fido technical is aware of the issue and is being bombarded with service tickets. the roaming issue only takes place because rogers essentially merged the hardware with fido without much thought so they're technically 2 separate entities still piggybacking each other when necessary. but if youre continually in roaming after a reboot i did find an easy bypass that you can do during a boot.

phone information>scroll down
turn radio off then on again> scroll up
run ping test
within 3 seconds it should pick up your 3g properly, if it doesnt work you can toggle the network type

[Q] Nexus 4 Straighttalk- New Att sim data and sync problem

I want to know if there is anyone else with the same problem as myself to try and troubleshoot, identify, and hopefully fix the following problem:
History:
I had an unlocked Nexus 4 on Straighttalk (on ATT's network by swapping out the sim from the nokia e5) from Feb. 2013- Dec. 2013 and had no problems with data or sync. In late December of 2013 I saw that Straighttalk was selling ATT micro sims again with 4G LTE compatibility so I decided to buy one (even though 4G LTE is not on the Nexus 4 without root) just in case I ever decided to upgrade phones. I activated the sim, updated the APN settings, and all data, mms, sms, and phone calls were working.
Problem:
Data was working (tested by using the browser and Facebook), but there were sync issues with all my google apps: gmail, keep, calendar, browser, etc. After a month of troublshooting, I've figured out that I get intermittent data signals, which is causing my google services to not sync properly. I have narrowed it down to a couple of things that are possibly causing the intermittent data:
1) The new APN from Straighttalk is not working properly for non-4G LTE phones
2) The new APN settings don't allow background data
3) The new sim card doesn't work properly with my phone
Solutions That I've Already Tried, and They Didn't Work:
- Tried every possible APN setting on the XDA Developers forums and the internet
- Tried using the "old" apn settings
- Tried using ATT's apn settings
- Factory reset
- Flashed .48 radio
- Tried to CM11 with the newest radios, older radios, and hybrid radios that enable 4G LTE
- Unroot, locked bootloader, and flashed factory image downloaded from the Google developer's website
A couple of other notes:
- I tried activating a Tmobile micro sim to test if it were my phone, but everything worked perfectly with Tmobile so I know it isn't the phone (I wish I had tried this before factory resetting, rooting, and going back). If I switched to the Tmobile sim, all my problems would be fixed, but my biggest problem is that the reception for phone calls was horrible so I want to stay on ATT's network
- When I turn airplane mode on and then off, all my data syncs properly. But who wants to manually sync every time they unlock their phone? At my job replying to emails in a timely manner is extremely important so my data not syncing properly is not ideal.
- Sometimes when I unlock my phone, the data tile in the swipe down menu is orange. Indicating a bad connection
- All my phone calls, sms, and mms work fine
- When I unlock my phone and open the web browser, it sometimes takes a while to start loading the web page. Similarly, when I manually load my email (in the gmail app by swiping down) it takes longer than normal.
- When I send an email, it takes a while to actually send
- With this new ATT micro sim, the network is no longer called "Home" (like it was with the other sim), it now has "AT&T". I'm guessing this has something to do with me not being able to switch back to the old APN settings.
My current APN Settings are:
Name: Straighttalk ATT
apn: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC: (insert new straighttalk mmsc, I'm not allowed to post urls and this is a url I guess)
MMS proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS Port: 80
APN Type: default,supl,mms,admin,internet,hipri
I'm running android 4.4.2 with the .98 radio, or in other words simply stock android.
Ookla Speedtest: 5.25/1.13 mbps and 160ms ping. It does lag when doing the upload portion of the test (i don't know if that's significant)
And everything else is left on default. If there is anyone else with the same problem let me know and I'd be glad to troubleshoot and if there is anyone that would like to help me with troubleshooting it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have the exact same issue as you, only on a Nexus 5. I had a 2 year old StraightTalk Sim in my Nexus 5 with no sync issues at all. I ordered a new Sim card from Straight talk to get LTE on AT&T. Since using popping in the new Sim Card I experience sync issues with Gmail when the phone screen goes into sleep mode. If the phone screen is on and I send myself an email from a secondary account, it appears immediatly on my phone. As soon as my screen goes to sleep, sync stops working.
On my old StraightTalk Sim, I used att.mvno for APN settings. On the new StraightTalk SIM I use tfdata for APN Setting. My new StraightTalk APN settings are similar to yours except for APN Type. I'm using default,mms,supl,agps,fota,dun,hipri,entitle as instructed on Android Central in these screenshots - forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-5/334715-straight-talk-lte-t-sim-nexus-5-sweet-2.html
Called straighttalk customer service and they told me if I swapped Sims I needed to delete the old StraightTalk APN and re-add it back. Didn't fix my problem.

I experience and observe the same situation. I too tried to go back to a ST ATT sim w/ an att.mvno APN. I had an old sim card I hadn't used that had instructions saying use att.mvno for data. I transferred my number to it online but the final instructions said to use tfdata. I guess all AT&T sims going forward now activate under tfdata for data.
When u tested the T-Mobile sim, was it a straight talk sim, a postpaid sim, or a T-Mobile mvno sim?

After days of research it seems it is Fast Dormancy that is the culprit. Some carriers support it and others do not. Some phones have it enabled by default and some do not. It looks like the Nexus 5 has it enabled by default without a way to disable it...unless you root. These posts outline the issue and seems to offer a solution if you're willing to root and change build.prop.

A straight talk sim (using T-mobile's network) worked perfectly fine for me. In the end I switched away from ST and I got added to a friend's tmobile plan and saved a ton of money and I haven't had a problem with syncing since then. It is obvious an APN issue from Straighttalk, unfortunately.

I kinda want to avoid T-Mobile coverage so I did some back to basics tinkering and got my phones notification delay down to 3 minutes. I deleted all the pre-set APNs and created a new one using STs websites recommendation. The only difference from the previous APNs was I left the APN type field blank. No default,supl,mms. Surprisingly data worked, as well as MMS. Then I installed push notification fixer and changed the poll time. I put mobile heartbeat to 2 mins, and WiFi heartbeat to 1 min. I restarted the phone and for the past couple of days my notifications have been coming in w/in 3 mins. It's not the most instantaneous but it works for me.

I wanted to report back since I was experiencing this same issue on a Nexus 5 on Straight Talk AT&T compatible 4G SIM. I originally had a non-4G AT&T compaitible SIM from Straight Talk (for the past 2 years) using APN type: att.mvno in the APN settings (other settings were exactly what Straight Talk suggested on their website). This original sim was a full-sized sim used in a Galaxy S (original model) with no data issues whatsoever. I purchased a Nexus 5, cut this sim into a micro sim and expererienced NO data issues on the Nexus 5.
After my current minutes ran out on this sim, I ordered a new Straight Talk AT&T sim card because the new ones support 4G. When I popped the Straight Talk AT&T 4g Sim into my Nexus 5 I had to change the APN type from att.mvno to tfdata to get data to work. I INSTANTLY started having issues for the entire month of service noticing that my signal bars were orange 90% of the time I checked my signal. I tried numerous suggestions (factory reset, delete/readd APN, installed Push Notification Fix and Data Connection Fix apps and chose 3G instead of LTE in data settings - which seemed to work but only for a day before reverting back to data issues).
I'm now at the end of the month on my 4G ATT Straight Talk sim and with 1 week to go I decided to add 1 month of service to my original Straight Talk ATT sim (which is 2 years old and using att.mvno for APN type). As soon as I popped the old non-4G ATT Straight Talk sim card into my Nexus all data issues were resolved. I removed all the "data fix" apps and changed my APN type to att.mvno. I've been using the non 4G ATT Straightalk Sim card for 3 days in my Nexus 5 with no issues at all. Signal bars are always white and my google services sync instantly when a new email, Google Voice text, calendar event come in. Of course, I do not have 4G but at least I have pretty fast hspa speeds - which are faster and more prevalent in my area than T-mobile.
I can only speculate but there was a short span of time that ATT stopped allowing STraight talk to seel their sims. When they started allowing stratight talk to sell their sims again this is when STratight talk started switching everyone to tfdata for apn type. I suspect that ATT has increased the TCP idle time for MVNO's so they dont hammer the ATT network and affect direct ATT customers - but like I said that's just this guys opinion. I hope straight talk fixes this issue for those folks using ATT 4G sims but in the meantime, if you have an older sim, smoke em while you got em.

Op said he tried all apns on xda. I suggest this, keep the tfdata apn the same as straight talk recommends, but make the apn tfdata 1. All else the same. The only time I get delayed notifications is on Miui on wifi. Hope it helps.

N900T Network issues, firmware or hardware?

Hi Guys!
I recently purchased a used Galaxy note 3 Tmobile variant model N900T. The phone was sold as unlocked and the seller assured me it was fully functional and recently used on the T-mobile network.
Since I received the phone I have had severe network issues using my T-mobile simcard. The network issues are as follows.
Data network stuck on EDGE.
Voice Network disconnects usually after the first phone call, the phone call itself will not disconnect and is stable but once it is ended the modem seems to lock up or reset i'm not sure which one but it could be an hour or more before the voice network will come back. Sometimes a reboot of the phone helps but not always. When this happens I will receive a NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK ERROR or OUT OF SERVICE AREA.
NOTE: As I'm writing this it is 2am, in LA, California and I have just managed to make 5 calls in a row with no disconnection which is a first! I have noticed however that there is no data service, not even edge, could this be related in some way?
I have done the following.
Contacted T-mobile, they checked everything including IMEI, APN settings, and confirmed no blacklisting or network issues.
Checked that the IMEI number on the label and OS match.
Replaced sim
Tested the phone in different high signal LTE covered area's (Los Angeles)
Used my current sim in various phones, S3, Iphone4, S3 mini. All without voice or data issues, apart from the international S3 LTE which was stuck on EDGE also.
Re flashed various official stock T-mobile firmwares using ODIN. Such as N900TUVUDNF1, N900TUVUDNF4, N900TUVUDNF9, N900TUVUDNK3 and I also believe N900TUVUCNB4 with similar results.
Currently using N900TUVUDNF4
I have pretty much run out of idea's at this point, and decided to post here as a last resort. The seller is telling me that the phone has always worked fine for him and that he does not take refunds. Its all quite suspicious I am starting to believe that this phone has some kind of intermittent fault on the modem. I am hoping there is something that I might have overlooked on my end or some kind of test I can perform here to confirm a hardware fault.
Thanks for the support.

Sorry that its causing so much trouble. The NF9 is the latest 4.4.2 firmware. Weird that it was also not working on the international S3.
Can you check your Apn and see what it says?
For 4g/LTE it should be :
Name: Tmobile
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
MMSC: mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

Verizon Galaxy S5 Moved/ported over to Straight Talk - NO DATA CONNECTION **SOLVED**

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

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. As I have mentioned I am receiving my new SIM from Str8Talk 2moro, so hopefully a faulty SIM is the issue. Thanks for all the responses everyone, and I will keep everyone updated.

This is what worked for me. I am running daily CM13and been very happy. I edited the last APN entry and it saved fine.
Name: Verizon Internet (name whatever you want)
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"

SOLVED
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:

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!
