Hello,
I have a Sony Xperia Arc S with the following configuration:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The preferred network type is "WCDMA preferred
My HSPDA/3G is not working properly.
I'm not sure I have 3g cause it's always saying 'H'.
But that's not the problem. the speed is good enough for me.
The problem is that when i use my 'mobile internet'.
It most of the times load 1 or 2 pages en then it said "Verification with proxyserver failed" or just "page not found".
or sometimes a lot of missing images on webpages, same problem with another browser (I tried Dolphin), and a lot of disconnects with facebook.
Sometimes it happends with the Play Store (market) to.
On wifi there's no problem at all.
I had another rom before (Sorry, can't remember the name) but it was also Android 4.04 with Arknight Kernel and that gave me exactly the same problem.
I did a full system/data/cache/wipe.
Now I use JJhybrid Rom v3.2 With kernel: 2.6.32 9-Doomkernel #5.
I also tried the ping-test I found in in thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660627
But that gives no errors.
It's also NOT a sim-card problem.
I swapped sim cards with a friend and in his phone everything works just fine (not an Arc S)
With his sim-card in my phone. still the same problem.
I also went to my provider and they tried with their sim-card en checked the apn settings.
I also tried flashing different basebands .36 .64 .70 .72 and now on .73 but that makes no difference.
It looks like on 2G everything is working just fine (but it's so sloooow).
I also searched XDA en the internet but I cannot find someone with an SE Xperia Arc S to have this problem.
The weird thing about this, is that a collegue of me also has an Arc S with the same problem.
That arc s is using official SE 4.0.4 ROM (I don't know the exact build, cause the phone is not here).
These phones were bought in a different store with about 3-4 months between them.
Is there something I did wrong with flashing? or something else? Or is this probably a hardware problem?
For the rest, is the phone working great, no other problems at all, no signal loss or stuff.
This problem appeared suddenly, from 1 day to another.
I live in belgium and my carrier (provider) is 'mobistar'.
Thanks in advance!
with kind regards,
Jo
H stands for HSPA, High-Speed Packet Access.
HSPA is 3,5G which is faster version of 3G(UMTS).
HSPA consists of HSDPA and HSUPA, High-Speed Download/Upload Packet Access.
If you see H, then your mobile internet is working correctly.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply,
I did'nt know that HSDA is faster then 3G.
Thank you for clearing that up for me, but that is'nt the problem,
my mobile internet is working, but definately not correctly.
The problem is that when i use my 'mobile internet'.
It most of the times load 1 or 2 pages en then it said "Verification with proxyserver failed" or just "page not found".
or sometimes a lot of missing images on webpages, same problem with another browser (I tried Dolphin), and a lot of disconnects with facebook.

That is the problem.
I removed proxy from APN settings, and it helped me with market issues (it wouldnt download sometimes). Im using Simobil Vodafone and since proxy was only used to access Vodafone Live!, its quite unnecessery.
to do that, go to Settings > Wireless & networks > more > Mobile networks > Acces Point Names (APNs)
click on the one you use for internet, write down the proxy (in case you need it again), and just remove it. Menu > save, and youre good to go.
If your SP is one of those who block editing APNs, create a new one, and copy everything except proxy.
Im not saying this is sure fix, but since you get proxy errors, removing it may help.
I presume everything is okay on wifi, right?

Thanks a lot! that just solved my problem.
I went multiple times to my carrier shop (mobistar) and they configured a couple of times.
I called about 5 times my customer service and they always told me to put an ip-adress bij PROXY.
I just called my customer service again, to check with them again, and now suddenly they say there have to be nothing in proxy.
Thank you so much for solving my problem!!
have a nice day

Man, thank you! I was losing hope to find the cause for my poor 3g performance and it seems this fixed it.

Hey there everyone
first time post on this forum. Hopefully someone can give me some good news on how to fix my problem.
I am on the Fido network in Vancouver, BC. I recently bought a Sony Arc from Rogers and had it unlocked. Everything on the phone works great, but I cannot get my mobile hotspot to work. Wifi, GPS, email, etc. all work fine.
I had read somewhere that I might have to change my APN settings, but when I did that, flash turned off on my web browser - maybe I had put in the wrong setting.
Then I also read that you have to change your WAP settings, but I don't know where to find that.
Hopefully someone here can give me some good news on how to fix this bug. I did phone both Fido and Rogers and they said that it should work and that nothing is blocked on my account.
Would really appreciate some feedback and some help with thanks. Thanks in advance.

Nothing to do with you're APN's etc if that' not working... if you're getting a data connection (GPRS/ 3G/ HSDPA) then this should work fine...
if it's not then suggest trying to reflash the firmware using SEUS or Flashtool.

Weird. Most of that doesn't make sense. Adobe Flash is unaffected by APN settings. Unlocking has nothing to do with 3G either.
A quick Google search turns up:
APN Settings for Fido: http://forums.fido.ca/t5/forums/forumtopicpage/board-id/Smartphones/thread-id/768/page/1
Like im_iceman said, if 3G works, hotspot should also.
Have you set the password? SSID? etc.?
Hotspot works fine on my arc. And X10.
Portable Hotspot Doesn't Work For Me Either
I purchased an Xperia ARC from Mobicity in Australia. In order to work on the NextG 850 MHz network I purchased the Model LT15a which is described at dudubdub.xperiablog.net/2011/04/17/xperia-arc-lt15a-sold-on-ebay/ (replace dubdubdub with www). This is built for and branded Rogers. If I switch on Portable Wi-Fi hotspot it works so that I can connect my laptop to it but turns off my data connection so it is useless. If I turn the hotspot off the data connection comes back on. I can't have the data connection and the wi-fi hotspot on at the same time.
I've interpreted this as a Rogers special build that doesn't allow tethering to satisfy Rogers commercial requirements. Telcos in Australia don't mind tethering but some others do and I guess Rogers is one of them. Its a guess though because I don't know Rogers policies.
Sounds like Rogers have added some power saving app, and this is automatically disabling your data connection when WiFi is on (JuiceDefender does this I think, but might be intelligent enough to notice when you're using the phone as a hotspot - I've not tried yet).
If that's the case, you'll either need to track down the app and remove it (there's a guide on here somewhere for removing pre-installed system apps) or flash your phone with more generic firmware that doesn't have it.

i think its your location, if you use 3G you could connect but if you use 2G you cant, it means your location doesn't have that strong 2G signal compared to your 3G signal. better try it on other places like malls coz they got high 2G signal.

yeah, just choose GSM and no need to change APN. you just need to change your APN when you change Sim Card because every sim got different APN and our phone only views what APN we added on that certain sim hope this helps

Hi
I bought my galaxy note II 3 days ago, first day it worked fine, in second day the service was lost.
I tried connect to mobile network by Settings/Mobile networks/Network operators
it finding mobile networks but not connecting to him. its wrote "unable to connect, try later"
I changed sim card with another carrier and It's the same thing.
I did Factory data reset, and it still not connected to mobile network.
What can i do? help please.
I had the same kind of issue when I first got my note 2.
I had to wait for my provider to send me a message with the Internet and mms settings for my phone to connect.
Try the "my services" the app in your drawer and get Internet settings from my account. Or you could try calling your provider and getting then to send you the message to install it.

Cannot send and receive message and cannot call. So the problem not in mobile network configuration, the problem is that device cannot connect to any mobile network.
I bought the note from England, and I am in another country. What can I do with warranty?
No one more than not having a problem?

Yes, it shows a 15-digit IMEI number.
Does your network mode set to 'Auto', if not do that. and still doesn't work then try GSM only
Setting - wireless n Network - mobile network - Network mode.
If you have selected WCDMA and you are not in 3G coverage it can happen.

Not connecting in "Auto" and "GSM only" mode.
Where did you bought your phone?
Sometimes someone sells phone and then report it as stolen, and imei is blocked by network operators.

My issue started once i let WanamLite update the modem. Before that all was fine and dandy.
I tried flashing several stock roms and several modems, no luck.
I also tried a N7105 Rom, no luck either.
People suggest its an EFS issue, reading a bit on that before I do this:

hi, I have verizon htc one running on stock 4.4.3, sense 6.0. I want to use it in europe on gsm network, voice and text works perfectly, but I can not use data because I can't add new APN. there is not options to add new one in access point names. when press on three dots just comes up "reset to default". so what should I do now?
I would call vzw to unlock your SIM, then plug in a prepaid SIM from a local European carrier.

I have this same issue. I was already overseas, and couldn't add or edit the APN I needed to use for O2.
I've called Verizon multiple times and they say "it's already unlocked" over and over again.
Is there anybody out there with a Verizon HTC One and is able to edit the APN data? If so, what did you do to get the phone to allow you to do that?
same here. using a Verizon HTC One (M7) on Rogers network in Canada. i cannot edit the existing APN or add a new one at all. i am connected to the internet, but it shows an 'E' instead of '4G', and it's very slow. any work arounds?
also, when i try changing Network Preferences and adding Rogers' MNC, (302720), it tells me my Network Preferences list is full and won't save anything when, in fact, it's actually completely empty! any ideas?

Does Rogers use LTE band 13? If not, you will not get 4G. As for HSPA/3G for GSM, the phone only has 900 and 2100 mhz for it. So if your carrier doesn't support those frequencies, you are stuck on edge (E).
http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-one-m7/
Specs tab shows the frequencies I discussed that the phone can support.
Edit: I also put this info on our Q&A thread.
[SIZE=+1]Q2: can I SIM unlock this phone for other carriers?[/SIZE]
The m7wlv comes SIM unlocked out of the box. It only works on certain frequencies. See if your carrier supports the below frequencies.
CDMA: 800/1900MHZ,
UMTS/HSPA: 900/2100MHz,
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900MHz,
LTE: 700MHz (Band 13)(only Verizon uses this LTE band thus far)

Did you go to network preferences and click add....then click operator list. Scroll down the monster list and add Rogers wireless? Once you add it you need to reboot for the apns to autopopulate. With the new way of doing it they autopopulate.

Screenshot?
here (as you can see, the list is empty, but it's telling me that it's full!):
and when i add Rogers Wireless by entering the MCC / MNC manually, i'll get this:
and going back to the previous page gives this message:
also, i cannot edit or add any APNs at all.
i'm sure it's the phone. is it SIM locked? (it shouldn't be given that it's from Verizon, but i got it as a replacement from Verizon because my first one had a faulty GPS, and it was refurbished.)
any ideas?

When you click add.. don't click add network code. Click operator list.
i didn't click on anything. that's the window that pops up when i go t Network Preferences List. i cannot do anything else.
i really think it's a phone software issue (the same phone, using a Verizon SIM card, was able to connect to Rogers' 3G network while roaming)...something must have messed up the software. funny thing is that with the Verizon SIM card, i could look at the operator list and add/edit the APN and all that.
is there any way, short of a factory reset, to revert the settings back? could it be that the phone is really SIM locked?
Having the exact same problem
I'm having the exact same problems as those described above... I am on a fully stock Verizon M7 with the latest official release. Not rooted.
- cannot add new apn.... Option missing from he apn menu
- when i attempt to edit the existing apn, all i can do is edit one line... The apn itself. All other lines are grey and will not allow me to change the settings.
- with a non Verizon sim in the phone i was also having the " network list full" errors described above...
I was in Europe with Lebara mobile sim and was able to get on 3g but it was unstable as apn settings were incorrect and not editable. I was in the UK on a 3 mobile sim and all was the same. Now back in the US, the same problems above with apn add/edit are still there though my "available networks" settings are behaving normally with the Verizon sim in there.
IT must be something wacky with this build or Sense 6 as my GF is also on Verizon and her Razr Maxx had none of the above problems as she travelled with me with the same carrier sim cards as i was using.
yeah, it's very annoying. maybe we should contact Verizon to figure out what's going on.
Exact same problem - no option to add APN or add network

I have an HTC One with the exact same problem. It won't let me put in the proper settings to activate mobile data on the Mexican Telcel network. It was a Verizon phone which is unlocked and will do voice and text but since the APN settings are not allowed to be edited it is not data capable. I'm in Mexico for a few months and this is ridiculous. According to Verizon "of course your phone is unlocked. We haven't sold locked phones in years." I guess they aren't locked now they are disabled or crippled when you try to take them to other networks. BTW this isn't just a problem of us not knowing how to input APNs, this is the problem of the phone not allowing editing at all. Very, very frustrating. Especially when you find out that root is almost impossible when it has the latest over the air update.
Factory Reset Doex Not Fix This
Confirming that factory reset does not fix this. So don't waste your time... Ih yeah, and HTC backup and restore service is down until further notice... Another fun surprise
Maybe I'm wrong but I thought you needed to be boot loader unlocked and s off to edit the apn and mcc list since they are system level files. You need read/write ability for the system in order to do that which requires root.
nevermind
^ what does this "nevermind" refer to?
I brought my phone over to t-mobile from google fi and pay the extra $5 a month to get wifi tethering but I can't get any device to get past the phone.
Each device i tether will connect to the phone get a 192.168.x.x address and it can ping the gateway ie the phone no problem but can't get to any routed IP address or DNS name.
I have contacted t-mobile and they see nothing wrong on there end.
I am running 7.1.2 currently and it has not been working since at least 7.1.0.
I believe it worked on google fi while i was using that service but can't 100% confirm as its been several months and can't recall a specific time I used the hotspot.
I don't pay extra, so the only way I found i can tether is to put my network on 3G. I switched a month ago using their getoutofthered promo.
Are the devices being assigned an IP address? I had this problem with my Nexus 6 store bought. I searched and searched and search, never found anything. Flashed a custom room one day and it worked. Factory flashed a image to be stock and it worked.
My suggestion, try downloading latest image off Google, and flash it.

Add this line to your build.prop:
"net.tethering.noprovisioning=true"
And then reboot your phone. Goto your setting, enable hotspot, and connect a device.

My plan only allows for tethering up to 512kbps, if I pay for 5 bucks more a month for the one plus plan then I get 10gb of LTE tethering. I have a Verizon pixel xl that is unable to be unlocked, so I can't add that line.

are your APN settings correct for tmo? have you tried a 3rd party app like foxfi to test if it's the built in tethering only that is affected?
Any update on this? My Pixel XL I realized the hotspot has stopped working as well with tmo. It was a brand new Pixel activated first on tmo and then just recently I activated a ProjectFi number/service on it, but just to get the SIM working and the Fi SIM went into a One Plus phone. So I am strongly thinking that the hotspot likely stopped working when that was done.
Just now I've tried resetting network data, clearing storage and uninstalling Project Fi app, checking APN and resetting to defaults, and various reboots inbetween. Nothing has worked yet.

Ok resetting my phone to factory default worked. How annoying though!
I've had this problem ever since switching to T-Mobile, and this is what fixed it for me:
(a) deleted all duplicate APNS (for some reason I had 2x of each the normal, IMS, and MMS APNS)
(b) merged the MMSC settings into the T-Mobile US 260 APN (add the MMSC from the MMS APN)
(c) added the following to APN type: default,supl,mms,dun
(d)forced APN protocol to IPv6 only
(e)deleted the MMS APN
Derosnec's solution worked for me.
Derosnec solution worked on my Pixel XL using T-Mobile
The solution worked perfectly.

Thank you derosnec. I created a new APN with all the stuff and for the apn type I have
default,supl,mms,hipri,fota,dun
it appears the dun fixed the problem
Thank you.

Are you getting high-speed hotspot using this (assuming a normal un-grandfathered ONE plan without the hotspot option) or this just allowed you to use a hotspot at the standard 512kbps speed?
Hey guys for non nerds/experts like you what would be the steps to accomplish that? Lol
I just switched to Pixel 3a XL from iPhones on T-Mobile. On the Pixel I'm experiencing a super slow speeds when I connect another device on the pixel?'s hotspot while on the iPhones I always had almost as much speed on connected devices as on the device itself. Any ideas why? Thanks!

Try this & if that doesn't work you need to add a VPN also on cell.
