Hi there,
I just got a new GS3 in Edmonton and Wifi works great but it wont connect to the LTE network or any network for that matter. Once I turn wifi off I have no connection to any network. In settings under mobile network I have "auto mode" for GSM/HSPA/LTE networks enabled. I have a SIM card that says LTE on it.
Does anybody know how I can turn this one?
Cheers.
Are your apn settings there?

I am in my APN settings. I assume it is the Access Point Names tab. When I click that tab it says "Browser, pda.bell.ca". When I click on that it opens ip a bunch of settings which I cant edit. It does say APN enabled though.

What carrier are you with? Bell? I am assuming it's a Bell phone LOCKED to Bell.
You definitely need ALL the specific settings for the APN. (the APN name is not important itself) I am on Rogers so I do not have your needed settings. Look around the forum or re ask the question for the APN details. Someone who uses Bell can help.
I found the settings:
Bell Mobility:
APN Name: Bell LTE
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: h.t.t.p.://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
MMSC proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 610
APN type : <Not set>
So i tried "restore to defaults" and it loaded up with all of this information, except the Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca or the Port: 80
When i tried New APN with these settings it did not work and when I rebooted the device it erased the new APN I added.
When change your apn setting ,do not forget to save them using your menue button, on bottom left of your phone.

This happened to me so I took the phone back and they gave me a new SIM card and it worked perfect, it was just a bad SIM.

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

MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc
MMS proxy: 74.49.0.18
MMS port: 80

MNC:

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
I have the T-mobile branded (T-999) Galaxy S3. It is rooted and I am running a custom rom (Frosty Jellybean). I got the unlock code from T-mobile because I told them I will be travelling abroad (to India). So my question is: Can I just get a prepaid sim card from a mobile carrier in India and stick it in my phone and then enter the unlock code and will it work just like normal? Does anyone know if this phone is compatible with 3G or 4G networks in India for internet access? Do I need to be running any specific "international" version of a ROM, or will my custom rom work? Any advice would be appreciated (or if you can direct me to where to find such info). And before you ask, yes I did attempt to search the forums, but I got the following message..."Search is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Thanks in advance.

Use the code they have you on a TouchWiz ROM. Not sure if it works with a variant of AOSP. If you have a T-999, then you cannot install an international ROM - it still doesn't change the fact that your phone is a T999.
Look up the frequency bands for India and find out if this phone will work with it 4G bands there.
Ok, thanks for the info so far.

Bobolinko, you are right that I don't know anything about APN settings. I did do a search and found how to access APN settings by going to Settings > more settings > mobile networks > access point names. Currently all I see there is the T-mobile US entry, I'm assuming you are saying that I need to hit the menu button and "+ New APN", then enter whatever info the mobile carrier in India gives me right?

I found India uses 900/1800 bands and 2100 for 3G. Minimal 4G coverage there currently. Specs for S3 show that it is compatible with all these frequencies so I assume I'm good to go if I can figure out the APN stuff.

I suggest you go complete stock . I send my old s2 with custom rom to my country nepal and later they have to pay to swith to stock rom for some continuous error becoz my brother dont know how to do it. So be in stock .
When I travel to Europe every year all I do is just put local provider sim card and works every time. All bi do is my phone needs to be unlock and never mess with apn. I use various phones like photon, blackberry, dumb phones, my touch etc.

Thank you so much for the above information. I'm finally getting ready to leave for my trip tomorrow and I tried entering the APN information as you described above. When I try to save it, it tells me "MCC field must be 3 digits" and won't let me save. Can you offer anymore advice?
I have read many posts and think my problem is because I let them scan my IMeI number.
I have Note 2 from Walmart on T-mobile, I had them unlock the network by telling them I was going overseas. I ported the number off of it and the account closed automatically. When I get the final bill I will pay the ETF fee and all will be doen with them.
I went to at&t and opened another line for this phone and it gets the hspa+ but won't get LTE.
I have the correct apn set correctly.
Does anyone know a way I can get my Imei number off the at&t computer or another way to fix it so I can get LTE?
It looks like I need to take another AT&T LTE phone there and let them scan the number. Will it mess up someone elses phone if I use their number and they are on AT&T?
Or maybe another way I could get online and fix it?
Thanks in advance.

I think I remember something about enabling AWS on the device for transitioning between carriers. I can't remember if it was tmo to at&t or vice versa. IIRC there was a thread over on the at&t xda gn2 page regarding tmo GN2 use on at&t. Teshx or Tekhd I think did something with it.
Good luck.

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 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.

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.)
I purchased an unlocked Verizon LG G3. I am trying to figure out what APN settings to use. I have searched all over and various other threads suggests different settings.
Here are the issues I have in most of the settings I've used: Poor signal, Internet but unable to download MMS, or no internet but text service. I also tried enabling roaming. So what settings do I use??
Here is what I have now:
Name: T-Mobile US LTE
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server:Not Set
MMSC:Not Set
MMS Proxy:Not set
MCC:310
MNC:260
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: not set
APN Protocol:IPv4/IPv6
These settings give me service but I am getting between one to three bars. When I used to get full bars on my t-mobile g2.

Without the quotes.

Thank you.
It seemed to get better, now it is staying at 3 bars, however now I have another issue. MY data is always on even if I disable it.

That is weird. I have not seen that before. I would recommend updating your phone if not updated to the latest version. If you are in the latest version you might have to factory reset your phone.
