Hi,
I had recently switched from Tesco Mobile (where the 4G was working perfectly) over to Voxi which is using the Vodafone network. Since then I have been stuck on 3G with Vodafone and they have not been able to resolve the issue. I had tried dialing *#*#4636#* #* and went through all of the settings available and it would still not connect via 3G.
I have checked and my area has 4G support and Voxi allows me to use the 4G network.
Rooted on Stock ROM, Global version of the Mi A1.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds a little simple, but have you entered the access point settings? I'm on Virgin and had a similar issue and then realised I hadn't received one of those "you might need these settings" messages so entered them manually.
Fro mthe looks of it, yours are here;

I was wondering, if I was to order a SIM unlocked Samsung Focus from america (there are a few on ebay) would I have any problems using it in the UK?
As far as I can tell it has the same GSM bands as UK phones, but I am wondering why it wasnt launched in the UK?
I think you will have trouble configure MMS for use with your own network of choice (known issue and seems no solution so far). Also, it may or may not support the 3G frequency depending on which band your carrier uses (Focus only supports 2100Mhz band outside of US).
In UK, you should just order the Ominia 7. Same phone (and looks better than Focus, IMO) sans the SD card slot. But with the amount of trouble of getting any SD card to work reliably with Focus, you might jsut forget about it ever had a SD slot in the first place.
I ordered mine to Norway from ebay. Everything but MMS works perfect, and the MMS issue can be fixed with an app from the Samsung Zone in the Marketplace which allows you to change the settings that at&t have hidden away.
I got the Samsung Focus recently and I'm using it on Vodafone UK. I notice that sometimes despite the phone saying full 3G there's no connection and I have to reboot the phone to get a data connection. Anyone else had this?
I have an unlocked Focus too... for those that have successfully got the 3G to connect - what tarriffs are you on, and how did you get it setup??
Cheers
Samsung Focus in the UK
I have a Samsung Focus from Ebay. I have unlocked the phone from fastgsm which was instant and simple to do.
I have the internet and 3g working fine so far by simply adding the Vodafone APN settings in the menu. I haven;t tried mms messages but don;t really use them anyway but think they should work if you use the samsung app for configuring the phone fromt he store.
Just a quick comment. I can;t get the radio to pickup much. I have changed the region to International but I am still getting a terrible signal although I do get some stations they are quickly lost if you move at all. Any help?
^^ I have the same problem with the radio. Unlocked via FastGSM.
howdy. I've got an unlocked focus on vodafone pay as you go SIM; they can't seem to give me any APN etc settings that allows the internet to work. Do you mind me asking what you've entered into yours??

i have a tmobile hd2 and its carrier unlocked i am using it with ATT and i just recently lost all data connection to my phone. i have an unlimited data plan that was working perfect until just recently. no internet or mms not even weather!! only can use wifi. can anyone help? thanks
Have you tried
*#*#4636#*#*
dial this and then go to phone information.
Have you run the ping test?
Checked what Current Network says?
Checked to see if there is anything listed under =======DATA======= ?
Have you tried to put a friend's TMO sim in the phone to see if data is restored?
All the data you can provide could help solve your problem. As is, the problem might be a little ill defined.

If you are running Windows Mobile on your HD2 from the home screen touch onvStart Menu/Settings/Menu/All Settings/Connections/Connections. Then tiuch on the adcanced tab and then touch on Select Networks and make sure AT&T is the selected network. Also tiuch on the Task tab and select Manage Existing Connections. While on the Modem tab make sure AT&T is selected and under the Proxy Settings make sure the box beside "This network connects to the internet" is checked.
Ok if you are running Androud then go to Settings/Wirless & Networks make sure allow data connections box is checked. Also go to Networks/Vertualy private networks (VPN) and make sure your AT&T VPN is corrwct.
i have fixed the problem! i was running the tmobile 3.14 rom udate which sucked and i just flashed an energy rom and alll is working again thanks for the suggestions
Same Problem
Someone please help and know that I know little to nothing of technical terms! I have the same problem. I have a T-mobile Hd2 and had Android put on it. Right at first I had a data connection then all of a sudden-NO DATA. I'm so frustrated! I checked the setting for using the phone as data connection SEVERAL time. I can get wifi but no data otherwise. PLEASE HELP
Try:
Menu - Settings - Wireless and networks - Mobile network - Access Point Names - menu button - restore to defaults, and follow the simple instructions
This should place the latest APN from your carrier on to the phone - may need a soft reboot

Hi, I'm currently trying to get my T-Mobile HD2 to work properly on NTT docomo, a Japanese cell carrier. I moved here at the end of May and have been using a data-only SIM through bmobile, a provider that uses the same towers as NTT docomo and it worked perfectly, however I switched to a voice and data plan and now I have no data connection. Voice works fine though.
I followed nenol's steps and under =======DATA======= it says, "State: DcInactiveState disconnected with last try at 9:49PM fail because Activation Reject GGSN" What now? Ha
Hi
Starting on EE. I have had my phone (GTI9505) unlocked from a shop and also had a code. The phone is unlocked and works with EVERY other network sim besides Three.
Three shows under my APN settings but all i get is no service then emergency calls only.
this has been happening for about a month now and only once (last night) did it show the network 3 before gong back to emergency calls only
ive tried 3 different three sims (coincidence) none have worked and the same 3 sims work in other phones. Did i mention that all other networks work?
ive tried changing the network mode and pressing automatic search under network operators. when I go to manual all i see is EE, O2 and Vodafone
i rang three to see if they blocked it and they assured me it was not blocked
i am on android 4.4.2, i9505XXUFNC9
How can i enter the service menu so i can have a play around with the settings/radio etc?
anything else i can do/try/flash?
Sounds similar to a problem I was having, I just had to tick the green radio button under APN settings for '3.' Sounds like you may have done this already though.

If your phone has been unlocked correctly three will show up when you do a search for network operators, simple. So my guess is it hasn't been unlocked properly.
Hey everyone,
I have a s5 that i bought in Greece while i was there. i have used it in Greece, Istanbul, and Spain with no problems, however when i returned to Canada i cant seem to get it to connect to the data network here. I am on Fido and i have tried all the various APN configurations that i could find on their support site. i have even left the phone with the store for a few hours to try and get it working and they had no luck. i know that its not teh network or the sim card because i have tried the sim card in a few other phones and it works fine.
Now this is the part that is somewhat confusing to me, I can call and sent text messages.... but anything that requires data, no dice.....
Anyone have any ideas?
Samsung support has been no help BTW. as soon as they see that its a European device they essentially say Oh, i dont have to do anything, call Samsung Europe... obviously that would be a really expensive call.
I had a similar problem with my S3 before and the way I fixed it was to find the correct APN settings and create a new APN setting page and fill it out, dont edit one that is already given to you but create another one and fill it with the correct apn settings which you can get from the fido stores. Have you had any problems with calling and receiving calls ? Let me know if this works.
i have done everything that i can think of as far as apn settings goes. i have reset to default apn settings, delete all the apns, and manually entered ones from customer service, deleted those and nothing... it seems like its an apn related problem, because i can see the network. in the about phone and status section i can see that there is an LTE network available, but my phone just doesnt want to connect to it..... ARGHHH

Does your provider use the 2600 frequency (band 7) where you live?, if not you can`t get 4G mate because the rest of the Canadian bands are not supported bij the G900F.
i get that, but im not getting ANY data. i should at the very least get 3G. the 900F has both of Fido's GSM bands 850, 1900

Did you try a friends simcard?, maybe yours is faulty somehow. Or maybe a data factory reset/reflash the stock rom may solve the issue.

Sorry, i kinda posted this like a noob would. i should have known better. i have tried the sim card in my old phone that i had before a samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket and it works fine.
I just posted this on the fido forums.
Hey everyone,
I have a samsung galaxy s5 that i bought in Greece and i am not able to get it to connect to the Data network of fido for some reason. i am completly stumped as to why. i paid quite a bit for it so it would really suck to get it home to canada and not be able to use it,..
So, before i get suggestions on things to do that i have already done, BEFORE i bought the SM-G900F (European factory unlocked and not region locked) i made sure that the bands would match up on the phone. its pretty much impossible to buy a phone that wont work in north america anymore. LTE is the only big question, but fido uses B1 and the phone has it.
I have used the phone with no issues in Greece where i purchased it, and also in Istanbul, italy, and Japan. I first thought that it was an APN setting issue, but i have been down every route as far as APN settings go. i have reset the apn settings to default on the sim card, nothing, i have manually entered the apn settings from the "how to configure an unlocked phone page" on this site and nothing, i have deleted all the apns manually then only entered the one APN for internet and mms, nothing.
after that didnt work i took thinks to the next level and did a factory data reset and still nothing.... then i took it one level further and re-installed the phones firmware right from baseline by pluging it into kies on the computer and download mode and all that good stuff..... nothing.
The strange part is that i know that the phone can see the network, because if you go under about phone and status, it will show the available network type, be it LTE or WCDMA, it simply says network status "disconnected"
I can send and recieve calls and SMS messages, but no data what so ever, mms, or internet.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Hello,
I have a big issue with SMG935V phone. I purchased the phone in US, and I am now currently living in Slovenia, EU. The problem is I can't connect to my local network with my local SIM card. Whenever I enter my local SIM, the info comes up, that says: ''This is not a Verizon Wireless SIM" and the network goes gray, I can't select a new network. I tried entering Access Point Names, but to no success. Last month when I was in US, I brought the phone to Verizon Store, where they guaranteed me, that the phone is unlocked and should work properly even in Europe.
Does anybody have an idea, what should I do?
Thanks in advance.

try a different sim or a network
It seems as if the radio was turned off, does anybody have an idea how to access those settings?
