I just got my XT907 today and ive been playing around with it. Got everything going smoothly except the mobile data. I had a mini sim which i cut down to micro sim size and it gets a GSM signal so i take it its working. I also got MMS working , thats another plus. Data on the other hand does not work at all.
Ive tried another proper micro sim from vodafone and after configuring the apn it worked. I cannot understand why Optus is not working. At first i thought maybe the data was not going to work for any carrier here, but since the voda worked im assuming :
a) My chip was not cut properly or b) Im typing the apn settings incorrectly (If someone has Optus -Aus APN please post it so i can compare) or C) Optus data is currently down.
Any advice or suggestions you can give me, would be greatly appreciated because id hate to sell the phone just because of this!!
Solved: Ok i got it working. Seems the Optus APN settings were wrong. Not from my end but from the website i got them from. Leaving the field 'APN Type' blank was the answer. I previosly had typed internet in there. So suprised that it was that little setting.

Hey guys,
Ok, I have just unlocked a G1 I bought. It worked fine. I've got an Orange sim card in, with which I know data should be working, I put in the new APN I've found online (tried 5-6 varieties), but it just wont connect to 3G/GPRS.
Do I need to delete all the T-mobile APN settings? Are my settings simply wrong? Or is it impossible to register without a t-mobile sim card?! (I'm pretty sure it's not!)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Daz.
I experienced this issue a few days ago. I inserted my AT&T sim card and tried numerous settings with no success. Finally I got it working after getting the right settings. Just make sure you surf around and find the correct settings. My issue was a simple change to the USERNAME . Everyone one said to use the username [email protected] when it's actually wap.cingulargprs.com
on a side note...
I had been using it for the past two days. I powered down the phone and then back on. The phone then told me the sim wasn't allowed to connect to the network. Needless to say I tried everything possible. Nothing fixed it until I booted into recovery and did a wipe.
Hmm, it wasn't working, even with a clear working 3G icon in the corner.
My guess is google's servers might have been down because it worked after an hour or so!!
Cheers!
Daz.

I have ATT also and i use [email protected] and it works just fine for me.
I use Tmobile. Before i bought the Touch Pro 2, i owned a Nokia Supernova. I randomly lost the ability to send and receive picture messages. Since i was planning on buying a new phone anyway, i figured the problem will just be fixed when i do that.
It has been a couple months now with my HTC and the thought had completely left my mind until this week when various MMS messages needed to be sent and received and it was not happening. I then remembered the problem and realized that a new phone has not fixed the problem.
I have googled the problem and i have found it is common, however, everyone's experience with tech support has been the same "Hard Reset the device"
1. i doubt that will fix the problem since i have flashed 2 roms since i got the phone. Energyrom with CHT. The first just being an early build than the second.
2. the ONLY "solution" that i did find, did not work for me. [http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/T-Mobile-Touch-Pro2/Can-t-Send-MMS-messages-HELP/m-p/268108]
And so as a last resort, i have come here to ask for some help.
Other than the 21 steps found in the above link, i have also tried the "Automatically Configure Connection" option on my device.
Thank you in advance.
Been having the same problem since my Tmo usa touch pro 2 and now the problem is back on my hd2. Tmo is not doing anything about this problem and its really pissing me the hell off man.
my sms/mms work fine on my unlocked tilt, even work on my nokia 6510. OP, ahve you contacted them and let them know about the issue?
I have used what is in that link for my old htc wizard, and now tilt. Worked great. Are you using the stock ROM or custom? I might recommend running a custom ROM and/or downloading the "connection setting" wizard.
hi. i have unlocked x10 and not been able to send or receive either. hard reset nothing. checked apn settings but nothing. with o2 and was advised that my sim card was 4 years old and only 2g. aparently i need a 3g sim card and he thinks this will work. have to wait 3 days for it. but strangely my previous phone was sony satio which was also a 3g but worked fine. but this is not uncommon aparently. so hopefully new 3g sim card will work. hope this will be helpful.
I have a touch pro 2 as well and under connection there should be a seperate tmobile connect that says tmobilee mms make sure everything in there is configured correctly,
I'm on prepaid, so I'm not sure if it's the same for those on contract.
One setting I found I needed to change to get MMS to work correctly (besides the obvious), is to change the WAP Version to 1.2....

i think it would help my situation (as well as others who are looking) if you would please post your settings under the T-Mobile MMS selection. because i have no idea if it is configured correctly.
What about for imagio
I am having similar problems, I have an imago and cant find out how to get mms, everytime i send a message it gets stuck in my outbox and received messages are blank, anyone know how to fix this, also i cant find the apn screen anywhere
Did you checked if your APN settings were still ok ?
After me flashing my phone i couldnt send/recieve mms either, Checked my APN settings, and they were not configured anymore. Went to the site of Vodafone and there it said which data i had to enter.
Hi guys, I'm new to this part of XDA, mainly because I dont own a Wildfire & I'm posting this on behalf of my dad - to whom the phone belongs to. Anyway... Lets get down to business!
The Story:
- I recently went on holiday so I got my phone unlocked to any network. (It is still unrooted, branded etc just as it was on day one)
- While on holiday we got a local SIM so we wouldn't get bombarded with massive roaming charges
- Everything was fine and dandy on holiday
- When we got back to the airport back home the original SIM card was put back into the phone, but it wouldn't show any signal
The Problem:
If you went into "About phone" > "Network" the following is displayed
Operator name: Unknown
Signal strength: 0
Mobile network type: Unknown
Service state: Out of service
Roaming: Not roaming
But if you go into the testing menu it shows that there is signal and comes up ~-99asu or there abouts
But if I go into mobile network and try to select a network manually I just get "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network" and my lock screen displays "Limited service"
The Attempted Fix:
Here's a list of things I've tried to do to fix it with no avail:
- Changing SIM cards (every SIM doesn't work - even those that do work in other phones)
- Rebooting
- Factory resetting
- Turning radio off & on in hidden testing menu
- Shouting at it really loudly
- Changing WCDMA prefered thing (Does't do anything, just reverts back)
- Phoning up Three UK (Originally bought from)
They say they didn't do anythng to the phone i.e. Accidentally blacklist it
- Phoning up HTC
They say phone up Three - it's their problem
- Phoning up Three... Again!
They say go into a Three store and they'll diagnose the problem and try to fix it
- Going into a Three store
They say phone up the SIM card company I used abroad - No, really. They did say that!
- Phoning up random foreign SIM card company
It was a pain top finally get someone who spoke English, They told me to ask Three! AAAAAARRRGHHH
So basically, I thought i'd come to you guys for help. Have you any suggestions? Who should I pointlessly call next? Have you seen this problem before? Am I mad for trying this hald already? Is the phone just borked? Are all the network providers just idiots? Do I have any option other than to smash this into lots of tiny pieces and buy a new phone?
I still think it's one of the carriers faults for accidentally blacklisting it, but they wont listen. Is there anyway I can unblacklist it without going through the carriers. Is there any regulatory body that will help me in doing that (I'm in the UK)
Thank you very much XDA Community!
Did 3 check your apn settings where correct?
Normally a carrier will phone you back on a different phone line so you can check the settings are correct or you can find them via Google.
The apn settings are located in settings/wireless & networks/mobile network/access point names (I think that's the correct path)
I think after a factory reset it should ask which network (apn) you want to connect to, it did on mine. I got 3 options o2 prepay, o2 post pay or giffgaff.
Reason I ask is I didn't see any mention of apn in your post and this is important as you cannot connect to any carriers network if the apn is missing or wrong.

Hummmm... It looks like something is damaged. If the phone is covered by warranty, use it. If don't, you can always try to reflash the original firmware or rooting it and falsh a custom ROM.
This is all I can say. Hope you get an answer soon.
I have a Telus Galaxy Note 3 N900W8. It has APN settings by default for sp.telus.com, which are all greyed out.
It has isp.telus.com, which I want to use (I'm using a data-only plan/sim card), but I cannot select it.
I added a new APN and replicated the isp.telus.com, but apparently by looking at my billing I was started to get charged lots of money, and the new APN I added is gone (I'm assuming due to a reboot!).
I do not want to root my phablet, and I'm thinking of sending it back. Apparently rooting sets off a trip counter. Is rooting the phone the only way to fix my problem, actually most importantly, can I fix this default APN stuff and greyed out stuff if I root my phone?
Any help is appreciated
Had a similar issue on my SM-9005 - Can't edit the APN settings, when I add a new one, it vanishes after a short period. -- Thinking that the device reads the sim for data info directly and pulls from it? - however the mystery of the vanishing APN I have no clue about.
Still looking for a solution.. Let me describe my problem again:
So I have a Telus Galaxy Note 3 (I paid full price), and I got a tablet only plan from TELUS.
Problem is, when I put the SIM card in my phone, it defaults to sp.telus.com, and doesnt allow me to switch to isp.telus.com.
I have to manually add a new APN with isp.telus.com, or else im charged outrageous charges. Even worse, sometimes the new APN gets deleted and switches back to sp.telus.com ($$$$).
I unlocked my phone and put a bell SIM card in it, and it goes to pda.bell.ca (apparently the tablet only plan is on pda2.bell.ca, so im assuming i have to do the same thing).
Have anyone been through the same thing, any tips? Do i have to completely root my phone and put another ROM like cyanogenmod to solve this problem? (I dont really wanna lose all my S-Note features though..)
I looked for apps, and apparently no apn apps exist anymore.
At the very least i need a widget or something that writes my APN on the homescreen so i can verify if im on the wrong APN often.
Help!

you can try to use this code...
*#272*IMEI#
Replace the imei in red with your imei number of your phone.
As soon as you press dial, it will show you a selection of APN network. Look for the one you wish to use but... this will FACTORY RESET your Phone.
I had Telus and wanted to have Koodo for network... so I chose the koodo one and now every time I put the sims in it loads koodo network apn
Hope this helps...
Do some more reserch if you're not sure.

I'd be willing to reset my phone, but I can't get to that menu. It says USSD connecting then I get invalid connection MMI, tried many times and different ways. Did you do this on a Telus Note 3?

Yes... Bought a SM-N900W8 from TELUS which used the Telus APN...
TYPED IN the phone dial pad... *#272*000000000000000# (replace 0's with your IMEI number.)
You should then see a screen as shown below.
Just make sure you see the one you need before you do anything.

Cool thanks it worked! You just gave me a workaround. If i put the telus one, it still defaults to the Telus SP apn.. So im gonna install the bell one and manually add my telus ISP apn, that way ill never end up on sp.telus.com!
I think i might switch to bell data flex plan, only if it uses the default APN set (i think pda.bell.ca).. I just got to find out what apn their tablet flex plan uses
Happy to see that it helped you somehow.
Good idea to do it via Bell.
There is a way to add an APN to the script but I am not confident enough on a linux system.
I'm sure someone could show you how if possible, then it would show potentially on the *#272*# Code.
So noticed about 5 days ago that I had NO Mobile DATA what so ever. Call and SMS work fine, weak but useable. My phone had the latest update so band 4 was already enabled. Have gone in via service menu and confirmed its still active. Ive been trying everything I can find on XDA (switching APNs etc) still no data, and I am stumped guys, please help. I have a Verizon Note 3 running Alliance build 1. Service is via Straight Talk T-Mobile Sim. Outside of updating a few apps nothing has changed on my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
- Check your subscription with the service provider
- Check your credit (balance)
- Check the APN settings
- Check the network coverage and the availability of data service
- Check your phone software or firmware
- Check your phone hardware
Try to eliminate the possible causes by using different ways, e.g swap the sim card to another phone to see if it works (check the sim card), put another good sim card to your phone (check the sim), move to another location (check network coverage)...
Turned out I had a bad Sim card, worked fine for 6 months and then one day no data, called my service provider they sent me out a new Sim card and everything works again. Just wanted to post in case anyone else ran into this. Thanks for the help!
