im just using galaxy nexus in New York.
also im using mine with H2O sim card.
my problem is that my phone doesnt provide 3G network.
i already activated my sim card.
i have ApN named Cingular 410 now.
i dont have any idea of why it doesnt provide it.
if any one know about this situation,
then give me a solution.
i can tell you if other informations will be required for figuring out this trouble.
Thx!

So have you created the proper APN with all of the required fields filled in properly?
And does the SIM work in other phones, and just not the GNex?
They also have an app that should configure the APN for you... https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5oMm8uY29uZmlnMCJd
So I switched from rogers to virginmobile better plans save money and all that..no my new Sim won't work in my gnex I'm running paranoid with lean kernel.
Is there something I'm missing I thought I could just pop in whatever Sim I needed and go

you need to set your APN settings.
Ah I see .....and how do I do that?

huh? why? I switched from rogers to wind, and it is working just fine, no need to do anything, is this some kinda virginmobile specific issues?
Hi guys! I just got my galaxy s4 yesterday. I rooted it, and I got wifi tether on the device. It didn't work, and I was wondering if it was the app's problem for not having support for gs4, or tmobioe blocking any tethering action for people with no hotspot plan, or that I just have the settings wrong. Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Maybe it's a carrier thingy, my friend's iPhone 5 can't enable hotspot... Anyway check if you have correct APN.

APN is the 3G\4G configuration.

Changing the APN (Access Point Name) won't make tethering "work". There are strings in the framework that need to be modified for it to work without getting cut off. Believe me I know, I had the fix in my ROM for the Note 2. The guy above is posting from outside the USA/T-Mobile with an Xperia lol.
Ohhh okay. So no way until someone makes a rom that can breai away from tmobile stuff?

I had used APN backup & restore on both S3 and Note 2. Hopefully, its dev will be able to setup an APN that will work with the S$.
Note - it will only work on 3/4 G, so you would loose LTE after restoring modified tethering APN, so you would have to backup the LTE APN and then restore it when you want to go back to using LTE.
There is no unlimited mobile hotspot yet, until then, you can call T-Mobile and they have free tethering for up to 500Mb until someone can unlock it for us.

As I said it's as simple as modifying a few strings in a framework apk.

Same problem without rooting
Guys,
I just bought the At&t version of S4, got an unlock code for Sim and put in the nano T-mobile sim, all was good, got 4G internet from T-mobile and made calls. Tried to turn on my hotspot feature from the phone itself because T-mobile hotspot is free up to a limit.
Was not able to turn it on, it kept going to the off position with the error "MOBILE DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE OR INVALID SIM".
Of course I had my wifi connection off and had 4G connection from T-mobile. Got off with t-mobile customer service and got their APN settings, was nothing to change.
Yet my own samsung hotspot feature doesn't turn on. I think samsung has turned off this feature in US versions of S4, so even if you root, you wouldn't be able to get hotspot on.
At least that is my two sense on this matter. IF any body knows how to rectify this issue, please help.

It's saying invalid, because the strings in the framework point to an AT&T APN. Once again.....the strings will need to be changed for this to work.
I know that this method works with any plan, because I had the android preferred (5gb no tethering for $20) and now have the truly unlimited; and the method I speak of works on both.

Hey were you able to make the zip?
I have a Galaxy S III from AT&T. I got it unlocked and activated on T-Mobile last month.
Now, I went a month on AT&T roms, but recently I flashed SlimBean, which is dual carrier. My phone immediately connected to LTE! Never had I seen LTE on TM's network on this phone before, so I take that to mean I need to run T-Mobile ROMs to get LTE service.
So just now I tried to flash BeanStalk for d2tmo, but it won't let me install it because, of course, it's not made for this phone. From what I have read, though, it should work fine on my phone. How do I override this failsafe so I can run T-Mobile roms on my AT&T gs3?
"You do this with 7-Zip/WinRAR
Note: DO NOT EXTRACT ROM!
Open the zip file, do not extract, go to:
/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
1)Open updater-script with a script editor such as notepad/notepad++ (makes things 10x easier), or gedit if you use linux
2)Delete the first line of code (all the way up to the first semicolon you see) and delete the first semi-colon as well
Do not go past the first semiclon when deleteing and DO NOT forget to delete the first semicolon."

You'll want to delete the highlighted text in the updater-script, then save it. You shouldn't run into anymore problems or errors when flashing the ROM.

And the Rom won't give you LTE. Most T999 roms will show 4g, but look in settings for your true connection. You probably had it all along.

Well I had LTE / GSM / WCDMA selected in the settings on CyanogenMod for the I747 and it wasn't connecting to LTE. Only HSPA+. So either it's the ROM, or T-Mobile launched their LTE network here at the same time I flashed SlimBean.
I'm running stock i747 and I get Lte all over Chicagoland. I'm rooted now, but I got it before I rooted too. I'm using the stock 4.1.1 that came with the phone, picked it up for $180 a few days ago...Wow this thing is awesome.
Thinking about going with Dandroid tomorrow...still deciding att or T-Mobile version.

Never changed any settings, except picking T-Mobile when it first booted with the T-Mobile SIM....I'll have to take a look at them later.

Please do let me know! When I was running the AT&T roms, I had "Simple Mobile", "StraightTalk", and "T-Mobile". I tested and all of them worked, but just connected to HSPA+.
Now that I've installed a T-Mobile rom I am also getting "Solavei" and "T-Mobile LTE." When I select T-Mobile LTE, my phone connects to the LTE network. When I have the regular T-Mobile option selected it doesn't connect to data at all.
EDIT: I am testing again, and I actually can connect to HSPA+ on the regular T-Mobile APN. Let me walk around and see if I can make it connect to LTE. Then I'm going to flash an AT&T rom and try to get it to connect to the LTE network by manually adding the APN. I'll let you know how it goes.
Can the APNs determine what type of network you connect to?
I'm just curious what APN settings you're using to connect to LTE on the AT&T rom.
Okay, here's another update as the result of some testing with my T-Mobile rom:
When I switch to the "T-Mobile US" (no LTE) APN, I noticed that my data cut in and out sort of randomly. I speculate that the reason for this is because it was trying to connect to the LTE network but couldn't get data on it because my APN was set incorrectly. This is what confused be before. I switched the data mode to GSM / WCDMA preferred and it immediately connected to data, and was consistent.
So I think if I just add the T-Mobile US LTE APN to an AT&T rom, it should connect to LTE properly?
A long time ago when I was just on the T-Mobile US APN on an AT&T rom, it was doing the same thing with being inconsistent with the data connection until I disabled LTE so it stopped trying to connect. I'll take the fact that it tried to connect but couldn't as enough evidence that it knows how, it just needs the APN.
Yay figuring things out! Sorry if my words are confusing or I maybe I should have made a new thread for this. I'm new here, and I'm not sure how this kind of things work.
Thanks for the help in figuring that out!
Sorry about the sidetrack, I'll work on getting 4.3 next, and let you know how that goes.
Here's what I've got

Hello to all.
I attempted to flash a Boost mobile native galaxy s3 running 4.1.2 to Pageplus last night. Got voice and text working fine, however, cannot get data up and running, even 1x.
Loaded Pageplus Prl, and tried to *228 to no avail. Also tried manually change the settings in the paid version of cdmaws, under the 'evdo' section.
The S3 thread was closed, so I thought I would post here, and see if anyone could point me in the right direction? If this is the wrong section, please advise, and I will be happy to post there.
I also read that there is a way to obtain 3g without using a donor, and I thought it may be similiar to sprint to boost flashing using wifi, but that did not work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Be well.
Anyone???
