Flashed Vibrant back to original firmware (UGJG8) not rooted: PROBLEM

Now I have no network connection.
I can make calls, receive calls but I cannot do anything that requires data.
Under my phone status I see
Mobile Network State
Disconnected
I have tried factory resetting, battery pulls, reflashing original firmware... I am at my wits end. Anything ANYTHING to try would be awesome.
Like is there a way to force the connection back on??

go into settings, open APN, and add your phone login information to use internet

I am an idiot. Sorry:
For anyone else on Bell, here are the settings:
Name: Bell Internet
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 610
APN type: Internet + mms
Authentication Type: none

can you mention how you got to open APN? I dont think i have that setting
Edit: your not the only idiot.. its under "wireless and network"-> mobile networks -> access point names

For better connection speeds, you might want to experiment with:
pda2.bell.ca (what iPhones are set to, I always see better speeds on this)
inet.bell.ca (which is the default APN on the Vibrant, and probably the least used across the network at the moment, speeds just a bit lower than pda2 in general, too close to call)
Then again, pda.bell.ca is reported to have problems tracking all your data usage, in your favour.

Enabling 3G Internet after unlock

I managed to get my Bell SGS unlocked last night, and after a while of playing around with the settings, I realized there was no 3G switch. When I go to:
Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks
the only things I see are: Data Roaming -- Acces Point Names -- Network Operators
I'm trying to connect to Telus' data network so I called and they made me input the following APN:
Name: telusSP
APN: sp.telus.com
proxy: 74.49.0.18
port: 80
username: not set
password: not set
server: not set
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc
MMS proxy: 74.49.0.18
MMS port: 80
MCC:
MNC:
Authentication type: not set
APN type: internet + MMS
but theres no button to enable 3g internet anywhere.. is something not set up correctly?

I had to make software reset after unlocking (but my phone wasnt working anymore after unlocking..)

suggestion, we should add all these info in the Wiki pages

Hah funny stuff that's it not automatic like most providers. Telus must be awesome eh

When you add the APN it should automatically connect. I unlocked my SGS Saturday morning and it connected to 3G/HSPA as soon as the APN was added and selected.

yeah, my fido one works fine on 3G/HSPDA

In the APN list you need to press on the grey circle next to the one you setup and it'll turn green.

Its highlighted in green, yet no enable/disable 3g switch anywhere.. and no connectivity..
if I were to do a factory reset, maybe it would fix it automatically? would it unroot and relock my phone though?
EDIT: Okay, I deleted it, and re-added the APN, and it all works fine now. Thanks for the help

Stock, Rooted phone loses cell service when wifi is on

The past couple days, my phone keeps losing cell service within a minute or two of connecting to wifi. Sometimes it will connect back up for a few minutes if I search for an available network, but it will always disconnect again. I have tried restarting as well as running this app.
I have one APN

Any help would be appreciated!

I turned it on after it stopped working. Will try disabling it again.
Nope, less than a minute after turning on wifi, it returns to (Searching). Interestingly enough, I'm able to browse at least the play store when it is searching(And wifi is off). It took a couple minutes for it to reconnect to services. I'm just not able to send or receive texts(Haven't checked calls yet)

Wouldn't really make sense why it is consistent with wifi being on, but working when its off.

This actually happened to me for the first time this entire morning. I didn't realize for hours till I wasn't receiving and couldn't send any texts. I use stock with root.
Now at least I know and will keep an eye out for it if it decides to happen again. However using wifi since than I have not had it happen again nor does it seem to disconnect anytime after either from the cell network.

This has been happening to me since I've had the phone when it was released. I always get dropped wifi when viewing twitch tv or something. I'm about to call T-Mobile to see what I can do because it's just to much of a inconvenience.

No network on US version with ATT

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem or can help with a solution. I just got my Oppo 7 (love this thing) but it seems the network doesn't work properly. The network seems to be picked up just fine, full bars, under network settings it automatically acquires the APN settings and everything, but I can't do anything over the air without WiFi. As soon as the WiFi is gone, I can't browse the internet, send or receive text messages, etc. What do?

Will this help? Won't be LTE, but H+ (my phone doesn't have LTE)

I have mine set up on T Mobile and I'm having the same problem. It's pretty annoying. I've tried a factory reset to no avail. My phone downloaded an update this morning which I hoped would fix the problem, but it looks like it hasn't.

That's odd. There's one thing wrong with this device on stock - its APN database for AT&T is 3-4 years out of date. It was still using the wap.cingular APN when I turned mine on.
You need to manually put in the AT&T LTE APN (pta). ALSO if you've never owned an LTE device before you'll need to talk to AT&T to have your account updated. (Using the pta APN with a Nexus 5 resulted in no data for me too until I had my plan/account updated. You can do this without an actual contract change - for example I'm still grandfathered in to "unlimited data"). In general I would recommend doing this in-person at an AT&T-owned store, not at the phone and not at a franchisee (like most small mall kiosks).

Thanks for the reply everyone, I entered in the new ATT HSPA+ APN and it works like a charm now.

Could you post your settings?. I confirmed the SIM I got yesterday was lte capable but still no dice.

Just putting in the pta APN with no other info was enough for me.
(MMS is probably borked for me until I fill in the right settings for it but I use MMS maybe once every 3 years at most.)

I just realized that you were in here Entropy. I appreciate the work you did with the Galaxy S2 (last phone I had before this one). Do you plan on doing any dev work with this one or are you going to take it easy?

That's what I have currently and mms works fine.

I'm working on lighting up omni. Oppo sent us a few devices.
Thanks for the MMS info, I should stick that into my device.

I have this as my settings now and still only get H+. (except for the mmsc, you have 3 m's)
Weird thing is that I get 0 connection when I change from phone to pta.
Not sure if locale is the culprit. I'm in Oklahoma City.

that's weird. did you call AT&T to confirm that you have the LTE data package on your account like Entropy512 stated ?

I went to the ATT store, but they weren't any help. They confirmed that the SIM they gave me was lte compatible, but I assumed that's the same thing as having an LTE data package. I'll give them a call tonight and let you all know. (btw, just re-applied your settings and still no luck)
edit: called.. and they claim that all accounts have lte compatibility now and of course she had never heard of the OF7a

The settings entropy posted were the exact settings my N5 had which I copied over and worked fine. One thing to be aware of is that mine says 4G on LTE and then either H or H+ for those, not sure if this applies only to my service area or what and another might show differently. At any rate if you're getting 4G showing you might wanna run speedtest and see if you are getting LTE.

AT&T's SIMs have been LTE compatible for years, even before AT&T had an LTE network. I need to check to be sure, but I'm fairly certain my SIM is still the original "cut down SIM" that I've had since 2011 at least.
It's your account that needs to be LTE-enabled.
Don't call. Phone support is awful. Go to a corporate-owned AT&T physical store. That's where the competent staff are.
(In my case, I originally did the LTE upgrade on a Nexus 5 - if you put a SIM into a Nexus 5 that doesn't have LTE on the account, you'll get a text message saying to call AT&T.)

No AT&T LTE Speeds (Solved)

So I was poking around the OF7 forums and noticed that I wasn't the only person that despite the many combos of APNs I was using, the best I was getting was H+. Come to find out, your issue is 1 and/or 2 things.. I happened to have both issues.
1. I never had 4G capability until this phone (coming from SG2)
Since I had a standard size SIM, I had to go get an LTE enabled microSIM to fit this phone at the AT&T store.
2. I registered my IMEI with AT&T
DO NOT register your OF7a with AT&T, since it's an unrecognized phone, it will default to pretty much trash and you'll lose any chance of 4G until you do what I had to do.
Solution:
What I did was take my wife's phone (LTE enabled GSIII) and put my microSIM inside. Powered the phone on, let it recognize my SIM.. and then I contacted ATT via Messenger on their site. Told them that I was using my wife's phone and that I didn't have LTE on it, but she did whenever she used it.. Gave them the IMEI number for the GSIII and after he made his updates in his system, he had my power off my phone for 90 secs. After I powered the phone back on, and just like that, I had LTE on the SG3 with my SIM.. thanked the tech and popped my SIM back into the OF7a and viola! All good.. Now that I have confirmed 4G LTE on the OF7a, I've been playing around with different APNs... so far my favorite is as follows:
down: 30-45 up: 16+
Name: Anything you want, I called it OPPO PTA

Not sure if I can post other forum links where I figured out where I went wrong, but it's the Oppo Forums (No ATT LTE with 7a US Edition)

well crud I called yesterday and registered my IMEI and I guess my phone as well. Still no LTE. I'll probably stop by ATT store again and see what they can do. While I rarely use the cell data, might as well get the fastest I can right? Thanks for the tips.
