[Q] Re-enable network lock??? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum so please cut me some slack :laugh:
I was wondering if there was a way to re-enable the network lock
on a galaxy s3 i747m originally locked to telus...
I unlocked it using the free way on jelly bean, and ever since then, it hasn't
been able to hold a call, which leads me to assume, the process screwed up
for me...
currently i'm on the att go phone plan with 1 gb of data
I tried changing my APN settings and what not, but it seems
nothing works...
So i was wondering, if i were able to re enable network lock
then i can buy a code online and unlock it using that method...
Does that sound like a sound solution?
Please help!

Just to verify before taking the next step, are these the APN settings you used? ATT Go plans use a different set of APNs then their standard plans.
Name: ATT
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: none
Port: none
Username and password are blank
Server: none
Mmsc: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Mms proxy: wireless.cingular.com

APN type: default

I've tried changing the APNs, and everything
but nothing seems to work....
in fact, the USSD codes also provoke no reaction from the phone either
so now i'm highly puzzled...
I also went online to chat with Telus and Samsung tech support
and none of them provided any help
Can anyone help?

[Q] DATA not working after root on Rogers :( :(

Hi guys!
I rooted my phone by flashing the xperia play firmware from the uk with a tutorial and everything is working PERFECT except for I'm stuck on EDGE (ew..)
Can someone who is a lot smarter than me help me out?
Plus 25 internet karma for anyone who helps
You need to add in the Rogers APNs.
you need
to manually add the apn data as well as messaging
Google Rogers apn and enter then in the fields in network settings

The APN settings are;
Name: Rogers
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Passowrd: Not set
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80

This is not working for me. I did a reset and added this APN but still no Data.
My phone can make calls but no internet.
Then you're doing it wrong. Try it again. It works fine. Also, make sure you select the Rogers APN after you've input it. (Don't just input the data, save it and then not click on the APN.)
It is the only one I have.
I put exactly what is in the above post.
Edit: I deleted it and started over. This time I left out the Proxy IP and it worked.

[Q] unlocked T999 can't access AT&T network

I got a brand new T999, and had it unlock on ebay. It can make phone calls, but can't access AT&T network, and it can access wifi though.
I called AT&T a couple of times, and I think they had done everything they could, including input an AT&T APN manually, but still could not make it work.
Do you guys have any idea to fix it?
Thanks very much!

I tried everything: factor reset, check/uncheck data package, power on/off.
Do you think it may be caused by the unlock process? it was not through an unlock code, and somebody connected to the phone remotely and did some work on it.

The AT&T CSR told me to input the following (I am not allowed to input outside links on this forum yet) and it didn't work. But I will definitely try yours. I don't quite understand "Stock tmobile everything.. kernel/rom. ". Did you mean I need to replace tmobile ROM before I input APN? Thanks a lot!

What I meant to say was that my phone was stock with no modifications, just unlocked. Just punched in the settings and was good to go. I don't see why it wouldn't be the same for other roms though. Hope it works!

[Q] PLZ help tmobile s3 on straightalk (t-mobile sim)

Good day!!! well this problem has been driving me crazy for the past 6-7 hours. i bought an unlocked tmobile s3 and i'm trying to get data(4g) on this phone with straight talk. calling and texting work fine but data is a no go.
I have litterally tried over 10 diferent apn combinations found online, provided by stratight talk rep and this website and none have worked. with most of them i get the small 4g label to light up next to my signal strenghth implying that my phone is connected to data, but when ever i try looking for somenthing with the browser or the playstore it says i have no internet connection or it redirects me to a website
here are some of the apn combinations i've tried:
NAME:STRAIGHT_TALK
APN:wap.tracfone
PORT:8080
MMS_APN:wap.tracfone
MMSC: ttp://mms.tracfone.com (H at the beggining)
NAME:STRAIGHT TALK
APN:wap.tracfone
PORT:8080
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.40
MMSC: blank
NAME:STRAIGHT TALK
APN:wap.tracfone
Proxy: 216.155.165.40
PORT:8080
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.40
MMSC: blank
I'm starting to think that the permanent APN settings for tmobile, which i can't remove, are maybe causing conflict with straightalk's apn settings despite the fact my phone stays on straightalk apn settings.
please someone help me, i'm about to smash the phone and move on.
Try:
Name: StraightTalk T-Mobile
APN: wap.tracfone
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.tracfone.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: default,supl, mms
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
No idea if it will work, I just took it from one of the APNS my ROM has

Make sure that APN is actually set as default.

you do this by making sure the green dot, the straightalk apn is selected correct? if so it is and still not working.
I assume you are able to make and receive calls just fine. Silly question but I assume, your Straight Talk account is all set for data and what not ?
EDIT - What baseband do you have right now ?

yep i'm able to receive and make calls just fine and data is also configured. my baseband is 800/1900 i believe...
Baseband is not the operating frequency. Its the text you see when you go to Settings > About>Baseband. Please provide that value
Have you confirmed with Straight talk that your account is configured correctly for data and the sim is a newer sim ? Also try the sim in some other phone to see if you get data there.

APN settings. Not Receiving MMS

I have been looking everywhere and I can't get a clear answer, or current, on what the newest T-mobile APN settings are.
The one that my phone is using, with my new T-Mobile service, is:
Name: T-Mobile US LTE
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
proxy: not set
port: not set
user: not set
pass: not set
server: not set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: not set
MCC: 410
MNC: 260
Auth: none
APN type: default,mms,supl
APN: protocol: IPv6
APN Roaming: IPv4
Bearer: unspecified
MVNO: None
When I get an MMS, it just gives me the option to download the msg, but never actually does.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks

that is my settings also, now if ur using a different rom, from the N9005.. I get that message and its due to the message size, tmobile has 1mb download and overseas rom has 300mb, so if someone is send a pic that is too big, u won't receive it..
I jump around from different roms, and sometimes I get that when the pic is too big...
but if ur on a tmobile rom, u should not get that message..

Thanks for posting your settings.
So I'm glad I left my straight talk service active. After I left my house's wifi connection and drive one hour to work I found out that not one area within 1 hour of my home gets ANY t-mobile service. All I can connect to is AT&T, and with NO data services, since I'm roaming,
I switched to T-Mobile to take advantage of the Wifi Calling feature on my Note 3 N900T (Factory Unlocked). It works awesome, and is just what I need, since all I can get at my home is Verizon, sadly.
Anyhow, I'm going to give up on T-Mobile and go back to Straight Talk AT&T LTE and just live with not being able to Make or Receive calls on my Cell at home. It would be nice if AT&T would support this feature.
Does anyone know of a good WIFI calling service that integrates into your phone well? Without getting another number assigned to your phone, like most of the services (apps) on Google Play do.
Thanks.

[Q] Cannot get MMS working on Straight Talk

I have an LG G2 which I have rooted and GSM unlocked to work on Straight Talk. I'm running the stock ROM and the APN settings have been modified to allow for mobile data. However, whatever I do I simply can't seem to get MMS messages to send or receive.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

I also have GSM LG G2 running a custom ROM and with Straight Talk.
My recommendations are to double check the APN, make a call so they can give you the right one because in some web pages isn't wrong, also check the SMS app that you're using, in some apps you may need to configure the APN again.
My APN If you want to give it a try:
Name (Doesn't matter):
StraightTalk ATT
APN (The Data):
tfdata
Proxy:
Not Set
Port:
80
Username, Password and Server:
Not set
MMSC (The MMS/SMS double check this):
http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy (Also Important):

MMS port:
80
MCC:

MNC:
