[Q] Need help with data connection

Hi to all,
I have an htc touch pro, I have been using XDAndroid for 8 months and been very happt about it. I frequently install latest versiones of initrd, rootfs, and kernel. The problem is the data connection was working well, but since about May i haven't been able to use my data connection because it doesnt connect. I currently have:
latest version of initrd
latest version of rootfs
kernel htc-msm-linux 20110615_174606
Gingerbread system.ext2
Here are my Mobile network settings:
Preferred network mode: GSM/ WCDMA preferred
System select: Automatic
APNs:
Name: Internet
APN: internet.movistar.ve
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC:
MMS proxy:
MMS port:
MCC: 734
MNC: 04
Authentication type: None
APN type: internet
Any help will be appreciated, thks

What setup did you have when it was working? Have you tried older kernel packages? Last time I used the Gingerbread(alpha) package, I was able to use my data connection, including wifi and this was with the latest kernel package. However, this was with a new data.img So, you might want to try to copy your data.img file before you try this, just in case creating a new data.img file doesn't solve your issue.

Hi, thanks for your reply,
I always try to use latest version of everything, if I see something works really bad, I rollback. I have tried most of the kernels with positive votes since May but data connection won't connect. A few minutes ago I tried the kernel from 2010/Oct/31. I also have created new data.img several times (because a problem with an old sdcard).
Could it be a bad configuration ? or some problem with my service provider (Movistar, Venezuela) ? In Windows Mobile the same data connection works OK.
Any thoughts ?

Triage it.
Figure out which combination works, then upgrade one piece at a time. So take the vanilla (nothing changed) FRX06 setup. Start with the kernel, try the absolute newest kernel. If that works, then move to rootfs. It's probably one of those two things. There was a new RIL that got implemented into the rootfs recently... perhaps it's not setup correctly for your configuration. Are you CDMA or GSM?
Either way, do your due diligence. I don't really have much to go off of based on your posts, you need to narrow down which change you made that breaks data for you. Then we can investigate further.

thanks for your response, I will try that when I have some free time

OP,
i have the same issues. the latest rootfs you can use is may 1:
http://files.xdandroid.com/rootfs/rootfs-20110501-5f3d39d.zip
the later ones don't work for me (raph800). however, i lose my data when i make/receive a phone call, so i am trying to sort that out too.

Hi again, my phone is GSM.
I installed the rootfs.img from may 1 and didn't work.
I installed the FRX06_Full_Bundle and didn't work either.

Uh... ok. So something that worked before doesn't work any more? Your data connection works in WinMo?
So you're saying you have everything from the FRX06 bundle and a correctly configured APN, and data doesn't connect?
I really need you to be more verbose. I can't help you if you're constantly vague in your response.

(Excuse my poor english)
OK sorry, I'll give more details.
In Windows Mobile 6.1, I configure data connection like this:
Start > Configuration > Connections > Connections > Modem > New >
Connection Name: movistar
Modem: Mobile phone line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: internet.movistar.ve
User: (empty)
Password: (empty)
Domain: (empty)
Then I go to Comm Manager > Data connection, and then the "Data connection" connects and I can use the internet.
Now for XDAndroid, I installed the FRX06_Full_Bundle from http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Version_FRX06 as you suggested.
I can make calls.
Wi-Fi works OK.
I go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks >
Data enabled: checked
Data roaming: checked
Access Point Names > New APN
Name: movistar
APN: internet.movistar.ve
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: <Not set>
MMS proxy: <Not set>
MMS port: <Not set>
MCC: 734
MNC: 04
Authentication type: None
APN type: internet
then I Save, and wait... but nothing happens, it doesn't connect. Am I missing something??

Hrm, seems right. Have you verified the MCC and MNC? When you hit save, do you see the APN appear in the APN's list? You should also see a 'radio button' that needs to be checked/highlighted in green. This makes the APN active.

Thanks for your patience, I found a partial solution.
Currently I am using:
Gingerbread system.ext2
Kernel htc-msm-linux @ 20110622_180615
rootfs rootfs-20110501-5f3d39d.zip
I modified the apn to this:
Name: Movistar VE
APN: internet.movistar.ve
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: <Not set>
MMS proxy: <Not set>
MMS port: <Not set>
MCC: 734
MNC: 04
Authentication type: None
APN type: default
And part of the problem was that I completly forgot that the APN radio button did something different than clicking the APN name shame on me
So now when XDAndroid starts, it connects to the APN correctly, a green "E" icon appears on the notification bar and I can use the Internet.
The problem is when I make/receive a phone call, or connect to WiFi, the connection is lost, and later the reconnection fails, a white "E" icon appears, but i can't use the Internet. My guess is that it is related to the kernel, but I least now I know I have the APN configuration right again

Did you bother reading the GingerBread thread? That's a known issue, the data cxn is flaky in GB. With hyc's RIL you can cycle data and it'll come back pretty consistently.
Use FroYo if this is an issue, FRX06 does not have this bug.

hello,
since I was in virgin mobile ( france ) the 3g connection does'nt work with my desire HD

I can send sms and receive calls, but no 3g
the phone is unlocked, Root, with a rom HD revolution 9.4 (i have tested with four other Rom and it change anything) and radio 26.14.04.28
i tried to manually configure the APN with:

where do i input APN settings?

Hey guys,
I have been trying for the last few weeks to input these APN settings. Im using Synergys 2.1/3.0 ROM and EPST works Perfectly.
these are the settings i have to input, but i cant make head or tail of where to put them in EPST:
Name: Tata
APN: Tata
Proxy: <Not Set>

username: [email protected]
password: internet

APN type: <Not Set>
thanks, Sid.

I believe they are stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/shared_prefs/perfered-apn.xml
Although a better way is to use apn backup and restore from the market. Make a backup, go to the backup file and edit it with the correct settings, then use the app to restore it.

i went to the folder you indicated and preferred-apn.xml is not there. Also, for the second part of your suggestion, what apps would you suggest i use?

sorry. that didnt work either. initially the APN file had only one or two words in it. but i used the one shown in the thread you mentioned as a tem,plate and edited my details onto it. Restored it using the app you mentioned but still the phone shows mobile network as turning on.
I think i should mention, that im in india, and to get the phone to work here i had to get the meid changed by a guy my dad knows. Initially the data used to work at 1x but i did a prl update and after that only calling and sms works.

got the data working at 1x. Now if anyone could help me get evdo working....

You can use these screenshots of my epst settings to try and figure out where your settings go, all the evdo settings should be in epst. http://dinc.does-it.net/Mods/Incredible_EPST_Settings.zip

APN settings for ATT 4g Xperia Play

My phone was not having service on my att network and thought it was my atomic rom or something and accidently deleted APN info. Can someone reply this message with correct settings. I looked something up but those were incorrect settings and could not received text with pics. Thanks.

I don't know about att settings, but if your settings worked when you flashed atomic rom, then just press option and "restore apn settings"

Easiest way to get them back is to install APN Tweakker:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker&hl=en
And select AT&T USA. Make sure you are on wifi before running it. IT will setup and program the correct APN Settings for calls/data/ etc.
You can then delete the app when done and it will be saved. Also this app only works on GB so if you are on ICS/JB it wont work.:

Rogers Canadian i317m Note 2 no LTE on DN4 v2.2-LTE AGNI purestock Kernel

I have an i317m Canadian Note 2 on the Rogers Wireless network.
I flashed the DN4_v2.2-LTE Rom onto the phone using the instrucions found here "[ROM][4.4.4]DN4_2.2(Ditto Note 4) for SGH-i317, i317M, T889, N7105 By the E-Team". I also flashed the newest PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.4.7_N7105_4.4.x_AROMA kernel.
When switching the phone on all works well other than I am only able to get 3g and H+ networks. I have tried adding the ROGERS LTE network to the carrier list but it does not work. I also tried flashing the PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.3.9_N7105_4.4.x_AROMA kernel; In case the version change may have affected it. Still only able to get 3g and H+ networks.
Been looking through XDA Developers forums for hours trying to solve this. Any ideas would be most appreciated

Did you check your apn settings?

Hi bballengphd, Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I followed the guide off the Rogers Community website. As seen below. I cant post external links (the MMSC settings) so I added stars between every character.

Select Save. Ensure the new APN is selected from the Access Point Names screen.
I also tried removing the CORE APN (the non LTE) one just to see if the phone was auto switching away from the LTE network. I do not get a signal at all If I do that. MMS, texting and cellular calls are working fine.
Thanks

Does changing modems help?

I tried to reload the newest rogers modem (for the i317m) and that didnt seem to help.
I also have another quick question. I have the newest version of TWRP installed. I am unable to reboot from TWRP by using the "shut down' or "restart" command. It just brings me back to TWRP.
If I reinstall the AGNI kernel and use its REBOOT command after installation the phone reboots normally. Should I redo the phone with the stock (but rooted) ROM/MODEM/Etc then try to reinstall DN4?
Ill give it a go when I have time later. Will post back to see if that fixes the problem.

YES! Got it working.
I started with using stock recovery mode to perform a factory wipe.
In order to make sure the lack of LTE wasnt something hardware related completely reflashed the i317m (Rogers) back to stock (4.4.1) everything. I did this using ODIN 1.03
I then used the auto root made for the i317m and flashed it with odin. Root was successful.
After the root I then installed RASHR through google play. Using RASHR I flashed TWRP Recovery version 2.8.5.0 . This solved the original problem with TWRP being stuck in a loop no matter what "restart" option I went to. Only way out of this originally was to flash the AGNI kernel every time.
With TWRP Recovery I flashed the DN4 LTE-V2.2 rom. When trying to boot this It just got stuck on a black screen. I took battery out and rebooted into TWRP recovery. I then flashed ANGI Pure Stock Kernel v4.3.9 (not 4.4.7). I restarted and the phone booted correctly. I was able to get WIFI and everything but LTE. I then updated the to DN4_2.2.6-LTE. The changed network icon to 4g. I tested the connection and it was still connecting to only HSPA+ Rogers towers.
The trick was after this. I tried many different settings for the Rogers LTE APN netowork. NONE of them would work under DN4_2.2-LTE. Finally, now running DN4_2.2.6-LTE I was able to find the exact APN settings. Pieces of this APN was taken from many different forums.
Here is the APN setup that is currently working for me:
Name: Rogers LTE
APN: ltemobile.apn
