[Q] Rooted and sim unlocked. I dont get internet!!!

Did a search and checked all FAQ's but i cant seem to find anyone with the same problem as me.
Phone keeps telling me i have no network but im getting 2-4 bars of signal. I cant go on the internet, youtube, facebook ect... unless i turn wifi on.
Phone details:
Im rooted and sim unlocked.
Im up in Canada, on the FIDO network
In the mobile network settings, it says EDGE, but i should be getting 3G.
TMO Vibrant SGH-T959
firmware 2.1 -update 1
kernal 2.6.29
Service state says "in service" but mobile network state says "disconnected"
For some reason im on roaming even if im no where near the border.
I have set data roaming to ON to see if internet would work but it didnt.
This is my first android phone and im very new to all the menu's and settings! Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

TMO Vibrant SGH-T959
Fido
This explains all.
only Wind mobile uses AWS(1700/2100) same as T-mobile.
Their 3G phones don't work with Rogers(Fido)/Bell/Telus.

Ah man no way!!!
So there is nothing i can do to make this work then?

Best thing you can do is to switch to wind.
Right now they are giving 150$ porting credit also

Make sure you also have a data package on your line, and change the APN to Fido's settings. You'll at least get the EDGE connection which is better than nothing.
Other option would be to sell the Vibrant and get a Captivate, which has Fido's 3G frequencies.

It should be possible for you to get 3G with FIDO since they use 1900 MHz and the Vibrant has a radio for that frequency

Apparently the last two posters haven't been reading much on the forums lately?

Get to your APN settings first
Menu ---> Settings --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names. You should see T-Mobile US.
Then hit the Menu button again and select New APN. Enter this info into the respective fields
APN1
Name: fido internet
APN: internet.fido.ca
Username: fido
Password: fido
APN Type: default
(all other fields blank)
Enter everything here, I cannot guarantee this will work, as I do not have AT&T service. But it's more than what you got now. Make sure you go back to that menu and select this APN is the one you want to use.
DO NOT delete the T-Mobile one, as you may need it at a later time.
Hope this helps
Also if you have trouble with MMS: Try these in the messaging settings.
APN2 (for MMS and such)

Will try all this as soon as i get home!
Thans for keeping my hope alive!!!!
Ill keep everyone posted on how i make out.

I was about to say... its a problem with APN settings, if you have internet service on your plan, then you should be able to go online at least with EDGE... its the same as getting an iphone for tmobile

you got it!

does the vibrant phone have the capacity to go 3G even if tmobile doesnt offer it?
All 4 SGS seem to have the exact same specs... So if ATT (captivate?) has 3g, the vibrant should be able to get it right?

tmobile does offer 3g, it is just on a different band than the one from ATT, but for what has been going around these past few days, some have been successful using 3g vibrant from tmobile on ATT since there is at least one band that matches, coverage is not as great as with an original att phone, but works. I haven't tried it myself since I don't have an ATT SIM to try it

Where can i find what bands are used? I would like to compare what my fido carrier uses compared to TMO and ATT for 3G network.

AT&T uses 850/1900 for 3G
T-Mobile uses 1700(AWS)/2100
I know wikipedia has the whole list of all the carriers but most Canadian providers use AT&T bands including Rodgers/Fido.
If I remember correctly only Wind uses TMobile bands

You sir.... are a god among men!!!
IT WORKED!!!
Now i need to track down ATT users to find out what they did to get onto the 3G !!!

Not a problem at all, glad I could help.
Do you not have 3G on Fido?
*EDIT* I just checked Fido Bands. They are 850/1900 as well. So you are most likely in an area that uses 850(which the Vibrant doesnt have) like AT&T. If you travel around see if 3G pops up in other places.

Usually when im in the basement my iphone doesnt get 3g... but if i lay it flay on my desk and dont touch it... sometimes it will pick it up.
So i took my vibrant out for a drive yesterday just to see if i would pick up 3g and i didnt...... BUT...
Woke up this morning and found the 3g logo on with my phone being on my desk in the basement.... like my iphone!
Good sign! Today im taking the vibrant out as my "daily driver" for the first time (with my simless iphone in my pocket as backup lol)
Ill let you guys know my findings tonight.

I think you totally got it, but just to be clear for others reading this thread, your Vibrant will work some of the time on 3G and some of the time on Edge when using the Fido network.
The Vibrant receives 3 different 3G frequencies: 1700/1900/2100.
Fido uses 2 different 3G frequencies: 850/1900.
Some Fido areas have only 850, some have only 1900, and some have both. If you are in an area that has 1900, then your Vibrant will get 3G. Wind uses 1700/2100, so it better serves your Vibrant.
On the other hand, the Captivate will receive 3G in two different bands: 850/1900. This means that when used on Fido, it will always work in 3G (where available). If it were used on the Wind network, it would always operate on Edge.
Note that all of this requires setting the carrier-appropriate APN, which you have already done for Fido.

^^^
WOW .. that clarifies EVERYTHING! Thanks so much for posting that.
Which also explains why today i saw jumps from 3g to edge ect...
Thanks for the post!

[Q] Atrix 4G in Aus on Trelstra Next G network

Hi All,
Justy recieved my unlocked Atrix 4G, My understanding is that these guys are meant to be next G compatible.
Set it all up, all is working fine, bar the next G network, I can make and recieve calls, access the net through WiFi but no net access through the carrier.
Tried everything, any help.
Thanks in advance

did you try and set the APN?
http://ausdroid.net/apns/
im using my atrix in australia too, but im on the virgin/optus network. i can get my internet data to work.

Thanks abe1990.
I whent through all this with my previous Desire, but for the life of me, cant remember where to access the info i need from.
Just rebooted the device, notsure why i didn't try earlier, all seems to be fine now.
Thanks

Yeh was just about to add - I'm using an Atrix on Telstra no worries. Seems you were just missing the APNs

You can use the Telstra configure page to ensure you get all the APN's correct.
http://configure.telstra.com.au/telstra/index.jsp
It will download the config file to your phone - no need to manually edit.

Hey guys,
little more interesting now. I tried to send an sms, and its telling me that you need to enter a valid number. Im guessing it has something to do with country settings of some soret howver not sure?
Thanks

so i have done the updates successfully, yet still the same message, i have notices when i input the number it appears like a US number, i.e 111-111-1111. not sure if this is the issue.

Thanks for that guys. I have done the auto set up through telstra and all seems to be working. The problem now is that when sending sms i must add +61 in front of all numbers otherwise it doesn't recognise and says invalid number. Is there a setting for this, a can't seem to find anything.

Unusual, im not having a problem. Maybe try downloading MoreLocale 2 off the market, it changes all your regional settings to Australia. Add EN AU to the app. It may help..

Hey, how is your data coverage on the go with telstra, I'm on virgin here and its good if your standing under a tower (five_six mb/s) but on a train line or anywhere else it barely manages to update facebook.

I'll have to give more local a go and keep you posted. As for Data coverage with Telstra, I have now been through all the networks and I find it by far the best. Carparks, lifts, city everywhere really, a little pricer but worth it.

Hey guys I just go my Atrix today, I can't seem to get my phone to connect on the Next G network. If I do it always come up with a error everytime I turn my phone on and off, it always ask me to try and select another carrier. Plus I don't get the Telstra Newtork on the notification bar its just blank. However if I hit cancel it will let me stay on the Next G network but when I call or recieve a call for Next G numbers it crashes my phone and forces it to reboot. Just wanted to know if anyone else is having this problem or is it just me.
The only way I have worked around this is using the 3Telstra network, which kinda sucks cause I need the the Next G coverage.

Any one having issues with the mobile hotspot. At first every time i went to use it would have to change the mobile APN auth type to get it to connect.
Now after upgrading to .57 i keep getting the u need to pay at&t to use this msg. Any thoughts
Im on telstra and have had the phone 3 weeks

Got mine last week from Bell Canada, and after setting the APN's, running so sweetly on Optus HSDPA.
Mine doesn't suffer from the random muffled voice issues the AT&T phones are experiencing. The Bell Canada phone doesn't loose any APN or carrier settings on reboot.
Theoretically with the 850Mhz band support it should work on Telstra NextG, but who knows. Sounds like AT&T are severely locking down their phones. Glad I got mine from Bell (and logo free)

Hey buddy. I'm on Telstra as well. Call them on 125880 and follow the prompts until you speak to someone. They will text you an update with all the settings. I literally just did that 5 minutes ago

cheetah2k, how is your phone working on optus?
Downloads don't work for me when im on 3g, only H and 3. (i'm on tpg)
I'm guessing the phone doesn't have support for it...

Where you guys get your unlock phone from? i m interested in getting one for use in SG

No doubt it depends on the area you're in, some areas will support 900Mhz only which the Atrix doesn't have.
On the south side of Brisbane, I've yet to have a situation where it drops out of H+ for data. What APN settings are you using?

dio, i bought my phone unlocked from negrielectronics so they sent me the code.
AusDroid suggested:

That didn't work for me so all i did was create one, give it a name and save it. So my APN only has the default settings, i.e MCC: 505, MNC: 02.
I do drop from H quite often in Sydney city, I then have to wait until it finds H again. Maybe there is someway so it doesn't attempt to connect to 3g?

thks... will check out the site. btw is it a at&t branded phone?

[HELP] Got AT&T sim into International S3, calling works but data doesn't work

I got an international S3 from India and went to AT&T store to get a micro sim.
Got that installed and then the phone calling works fine but data (internet) doesn't work.
They said they would have to register my phone's IMEI but it still doesn't work. They put in a new APN, and still same. They called their tech and they couldn't help. Their last suggestion was to try calling Samsung, but I had to leave to get to work.
I believe there are already people using International version with AT&T for the S3. So any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks!

Try factory resetting your phone. Other than that, make sure you have the $10/month data plan (unlimited messaging required) or the $15/month data (no messaging required). To do that you'll have to call into customer care and say you have an unlocked non-smartphone. If you go into the store to do this they'll give you the more expensive internet because they'll see you have a smartphone. If you're changing data plans it CAN take 24-48 hours for it to be effective, although it usually doesn't take that long. After that's done go into Settings, More Settings (under Wireless and Network settings), Mobile Networks, and then Access Point Names. Make sure there is an Access Point Name titled "Cingular 410". If there isn't then press Menu, and then "+ New APN". The settings should look like this:
Name: Cingular 410
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
User name: [email protected]
My Password field is auto-filled, so I don't have that. Try leaving it blank, but if that doesn't work call customer care and get that information.
Server: cingulargprs.com
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: Not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
Enable/disable APN: Checked (this field is grayed out for me, but it is checked)
Bearer: Unspecified
This should fix it. The only thing I'm unclear on is the Password part.

Password is (all caps): CINGULAR1

Well now my SIM is completely unregistered, can't even make calls. Operator asked me to go to the store and get a new SIM Card.
So, this won't work without the switch to the non-smartphone data plan? It is going to be hard to pull off when I am in the store.

It should work just fine on the smartphone data plan, and you should be able to switch to the non smartphone data plan afterwards.

Ok, thanks. What should I tell the AT&T store people today when I go in the evening?
It feels like they did something on the account to screw it up. Would it help to suggest that they get this working on an AT&T HTC OneX and then transfer the SIM to my phone?

It could be that you have a defective SIM card. Take it one step at a time. Replace the SIM card. Make sure you have functionality with other services (such as voice and messaging). Check all the APN settings to make sure those are correct. Make sure you have a data plan for AT&T.

I'm on another carrier but I had the same problem at first, only phone call and sms working. I had to change my APN for the Data to work.

What are the APN settings you input, did you save and select it afterwards?
EDIT: Check the settings in the screenshots on the first posts of this thread, yours should match.

Thanks, I went back to the store. We got my original S2 working and this time switched to micro sim without making any IMEI/etc changes and it worked.
Anyone know what extra steps need to be taken to get the voicemail working?

No. This should work out of the box. I was on the phone myself with AT&T and Google for two hours. It's a simple matter of AT&T changing the data plan to LTE, but they won't do it because they do not recognize the IMEI as an AT&T phone. No need to change APN settings. AT&T is basically screwing us. In the coming days I see a LOT of complaints coming. The customer service reps say there is nothing they can do, the network people say there's nothing they can do. Complete nonsense. Now, if you had an LTE data plan PRIOR to switching out phones you're probably going to be OK. It's those of us that were on 3G that will be screwed.
EDIT:
Well, after speaking with endless reps, I found one who was willing to actually do her job. She was sympathetic, did some research, and put in a phony IMEI number that allowed her to upgrade my plan from 3G to LTE. I guess the moral of the story is be persistent, hang up on the reps that say there's nothing they can do and keep trying till you find a rep willing to do their job properly.
By the way, I kept my unlimited status, no worries there.
FUNNY:
I had a call from a sales rep before the issue was fixed. Her solution was "why don't you return your phone, go to an AT&T store, and buy one of ours?"

which is what i was afraid of since i am on the grandfathered plan for 30 bucks unlimited ... no way in hell im going up to 40+ bucks for 2 GB of data.
and yes, i did choose the radio button for it.
they sent in some form to allow ATT to recognize my IMEI which might allow LTE to come in.. i asked about the plan and everything and no one said it wouldnt work... altho i had feared some people might have been told otherwise.

would you need an upgraded plan to get LTE on ATT even if you have the grandfathered plan ?

right, the issue is i didnt have an LTE phone prior. I had a 3g GS2 so my plan isnt configured to work on the LTE network.
for the Iphone they were honoring the old unlimited data plans for 30 dollar a month just changing the name of the plan to the new one (same price, still unlimited, upto 5GB before throttle)
someone just did this on the phone for me and i did get data using the phone APN now (no more using the old 3g only APN)
hopefully when i get out of the building i work in i can get some LTE reception and see if it worked.

If you haven't had an LTE phone prior, you probably don't have LTE data enabled through AT&T yet. What data plan are you on specifically? Does it say 4G for Smartphones or LTE for Smartphones? I'm thinking you're going to have to talk to AT&T and get them to switch your plan...

thats what they just did. they had the LTE plan unlimited for 30 a month they grant to grandfathered data plans when the iphone 5 came out
i am getting data on the PHONE apn now but still no LTE speeds...
i will call back later on in the day if i dont see LTE speeds coming in (speed test now only gave me 4 down)
they also apparantly sent in a form to get the IMEI covered by ATT which would guarantee they can provide :LTE speeds

went by att store and the guy there said it happens all the time with devices from south america (im in miami)
went to the back, grabbed an IMEI off a boxes device. applied that to my account... BAM ... LTE

I had the same problem with a rep telling me that the phone can't be found in their system. From the research I've done, it looks like you can give them any IMEI number off of a AT&T branded LTE phone and their system will switch your plan over.

Now press menu and then SAVE.
And the at APN's screen>select the APN You created, the phone in gonna turn off your data for a few seconds and automatically it will restore your data service. Good luck and let me know if that works for You.

I have done those steps before. apn type doesn't have a selection. not sure if typing it in is the same. speeds are inconsistent. sometimes it drops to under 10kb and other times it reaches 10Mb. sucks because the speeds fluctuations is causing YouTube videos to buffer all the time making it unwatchable. Even switch to tmobile custom rom and still same issue.

The last thing, how old is SIM card? and not only that, sometimes the SIM's go bad, just consider replacing it, and definately, the first thing You can do is trying to edit your existing APN, let me know how that goes.......Good luck.

sim card was recently purchased less than a month ago thru best buy. I bought the starter sim kit (which I think was for prepaid), but tmobile said they don't have a problem activating it. not sure what else to edit on apn. called tmobile tech support and they said only thing really matter is the fast.t-mobile.com. also tried the epc.tmobile.com but slower speeds. could it be because it's an unlocked att phone?

I had an ATT note 3, I just recently purchased my tmo note 3, when i had the att note 3 I never had any problems with slow data, but i always changed my apn from epc tmo to fast.t-mobile.com, epc( apn) never worked for me, so I don't know what else to tell you, sorry i couldn't help you. Good luck.

Well good to know it's not because it's an att phone. Was your data consistent, because mines jump up and down.

Yes, it was consistent, I tried a lot of custom roms from the att note 3 forum and from the international note 3 forum.
