[Q] Seems like my 3G isn't working

I bought this phone brand new, everything was wrapped in its cellophane. I asked the seller if this was in fact a 3G phone to use in Europe because I needed the UMTS 2100. The box itself writes " HSPA/WCDMA 900/2100 " Greece runs on UMTS 2100....When I try to use the internet search engine it says "There is no Network connection right now". I check my Mobile Network settings and Data Roaming is checkmarked. Network mode has GSM/WCDMA set to auto. Network Operators states Greece Cosmote.
What haven't I checked to make the connection?
I do believe this is Euro/Asia version because it has like 7 different English languages for Asia (Singapore/Malaysia/Vietnam etc...) When I changed the Bluetooth name, the default was HTC Vision (which is the UK name of this product)

Check in settings/wireless&networks/mobile networks/ and make sure that "Use only 2g networks" is not checked.

I don't have that option.
In the Mobile Network Settings screen I have
Data Roaming (Checked)
Data Roaming Sound (checked)
Access Point Names
Network Mode (GSM / WCDMA (Auto)
Network Operators (GR Cosmote)
Enable Always-on Mobile Data (checked)

Are you saying that you only have a 2G/EDGE connection or that you have no data connection at all? From the thread title, I thought the former, but from what you are describing, it sounds like the latter. If it is the case that you have no data connection whatsoever, check to make sure your APN settings are correct for your network provider.

Where do I go to check the APN setting....I found an APN screen but it is completely blank....How can I add parameters to that screen?

No APN = No Data, I would try googling the Greece Cosmote APN data settings first.
UPDATE: I tried to google the APN settings for you but "ITS ALL GREEK TO ME".....lol J/K, but not.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Okay....I am getting the hang of the Android OS now...sorry...I am a migrant from Win 6.5...
I got the info from a website for the service provider....it seems it wants an IP address to be inputted where it says DNS...the problem is I don't see a place that says DNS....does that go under the "Server" area?

Try here maybe:

EDIT: woops think this is what you just said no DNS right, What about "proxy" do you have that? Try it in the proxy field.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Got it so far....for the proxy there are two listed....."Proxy" and "MMS Proxy" which one does the IP address go under?

Are you asking if you should put DNS under the proxy or mms proxy fields? No, these are different things. Have you tried inputting all of the other settings except for DNS and seeing if it worked? Most carriers will work without you setting the DNS (it's pulled in by your phone dynamically).
In most cases, you need to put nothing more than the APN (and username/password if required). For MMS to work, you'll also need to find your carrier's MMSC, MMS proxy, and MMS port.

it seems like I finally got it to work. I had to switch a few parameters around...Had to call the phone company. I love this phone. I wanted the physical keyboard but the on screen landscape keyboard is proving to be just as effective.
Thanks to everyone who helped

[q] editing MMS Connection Settings

hi,
how do i edit connection settings in the messages folder to make my ROM usable with my provider's MMS settings? everything is greyed out and inaccessible.
i have the info needed from a working phone...

you need to check your APN settings

i dont have that option in wireless & networks

what option? if you mean "it's not there", that's the whole point, you need to add it >menu >new APN
you need to check with your telco as to what their MMS settings are

in mobile network settings what i get is data roaming, data roaming sound, enable always - on mobile connectivity, and system select (cdma roaming mode). thats it
i see the settings if i go to the messaging menu (inbox) then press menu - settings - connection settings. but they're inaccessible

Do you have a CDMA or GSM phone?

cdma...................

you really should have mentioned that, it's really very significant!
you need a ROM that supports CDMA phones, you can't just put whatever on there

i can use the cell phone fine its just the mms settings are for US Cellular which is where the froyo rom comes from... thats not my company

i saw this one post a couple days back where someone edited a file inside the cell which gave him access to these settings. sadly i did not copy or bookmark the page but it was on xda.

Still stuck here fellas... Using pre rooted stock froyo cdma rom from this site.

[Q] Flashed Xperia PLAY, now I get no 3G network

I flashed my Xperia PLAY last night, with a UK .ftf. I originally had a US .ftf (or I assume, I live in canada). It's asking if I'm on Rogers or Fido whenever I try to use my data network and it didn't before I flashed it. I don't seem to get 3G network anywhere, except very few places in my town, when I used to get it everywhere. I'm not sure if coincidentally the Rogers 3G networks are down or not. I'm downloading a supposed "rogers branded 2.3.3" .ftf, hoping it solves this. I just want to know if the reason I'm not getting 3G is because I flashed with a UK .ftf?
Oh, the reason I flashed was because my Xperia PLAY somehow bricked itself. I hadn't done any modding or root attempts whatsoever before this. I had only learned of flashing yesterday.

If you haven't set your APNs yet, you'll need to do so. Generic UK didn't get a 3G signal before I did that. APN settings are in Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks.

Ah thank you, that fixed it. I have a question though, I found on the internet the APN settings for 3G and for MMS. However I can't enable both. Or does the 3G one include MMS?

To be honest, I'm not sure. MMS on my phone has always been hit or miss. I think the 3G APN works for both.

Hm, alright. Thanks for the help!

There's two sets of settings floating around out there. One has both Data and MMS. The other has two, one for data and one for MMS. Only the data one of the two needs to be selected. MMS will just work.

[Q] Rogers GS3 unlocked for ATT - NO DATA!

I have a galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) originally on Rogers form Canada. I bought an Un lock code and unlocked it. The phone shows signal, makes calls and SMS, but NO 4G and NO network access. (internet pages don't load when disconnected from WiFi)
Under Mobile Network I cannot connect to ATT's network. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Or is there a ROM i need to install after I ROOT the phone? Do I even need to ROOT it? (Sorry in advance, i come from the world of Jailbreaking, but have rooted Droids in the past)
Thx!

I'm not an expert, but you probably need to check your APN settings, and change them to AT&Ts if they aren't already. You can check this in Settings -> More Settings (in Wireless and networks section) -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
I don't know what the AT&T settings should be, but you can probably find it easily enough. Also, you might want to Shut down the phone, remove the SIM, reboot without a sim, then shut down and put it in again to make it read the APN settings from the sim

Try flashing the ATT rom and see if that makes it work to start.

Got It!!!
I had to manually add my APN settings. I was over looking the button on the bottom left to configure it.
Thanks for the help!:cyclops:

Does the SGH-I747 (Rogers version form Canada) pick up LTE on AT&T?

Roaming with my S3 on Jellybean??HELP??

I frequently run from Toronto to Buffalo. I took my S3 from ICS to Jellybean 4.1.1 and have had no issues until yesterday.
Upon crossing, I lost all service. I tried to go into the menus and see what was the matter without success. Later, I
realized that under MOBILE NETWORKS, Data Roaming wasn't checked. So I checked it off........still no service until
I was about a mile from the border, back on Rogers.
Anyone experience this?? I've bad numerous blackeberry's and cross without an issue all over the US and Caribbean.
I'm confussed.......and concerned about making another trip to the US, without my briefcase which has a backup blackberry
in it........
Suggestions? I fugured that checking the roaming box would have grabbed a carrier..........NOPE.........meanwhile,
my friend who has the same phone still on ICS worked fine................that's the strange part...........
Thanks guys.

Hi!
One thing you could check is if you activated the automatic selection of carrier, and if your phone can see other carriers' networks.
1. Go to Settings.
2. Under Wireless and networks, open More settings.
3. Under Networks, select Mobile networks.
4. Select Network operators.
5. Your phone should now disconnect and search for visible networks. (It should show networks you can connect to and ones you cannot; that is normal.) See if you find any carrier listed on this screen when the search is completed. If no network appear, press again Search networks to scan the visible networks again.
6. Press Select automatically to automatically register to the prefered network. When Rogers is in this list, your phone should register automatically to Rogers. If not, then it should roam on a network with which Rogers has a roaming agreement. You should also be able to manually select to which network you would like to roam by pressing the carrier's name (again, you will register only if Rogers has a roaming agreement with the said carrier).

Happened again this morning. However, I did what you said (here in Toronto) and it found BELL, TElus and Rogers. Now, it
would't find anything across in Buffalo. VERY strange. Called Rogers when I crossed and they were no help.
Could it be possible that it's an issue with Jellybean?? The phone is rooted and I used the Robinson's root injected JB ROM.
Suggestions? I'm crossing again in the morning... Can test more settings.....can't bring my old blackberry because it's a
regular sim and this thing uses a micro...
