I been at this for thee days now! so I bought a gnex from a friend that was using it on a plan with at&t. he now uses a prepaid plan with a different phone and sold me this galaxy nexus. now I did have a Motorola defy that I was using for tmobile but it has gon to crap so using a sim adaptor I placed it into this gnex but it wont pic up the tmobile network. when I go to settings phone info status it has my sim card phone number and all that, but it doesn't have network and all the other stuff. :crying:
so does anyone know how I can fix this or give me a walkthrough with using the unlock codes for Samsung galaxy nexus?
AT&T never sold a galaxy nexus. you already have an unlocked device. try doing a factory reset from the settings with your SIM card in it. Are you sure your sim adapter is fitting correctly?

Thanks for that! Now I tried a few of the APN settings found here on xda but none of them work! What's weird is now my voicemail icon popped up but I can't connect with network still or make phone calls!

How many different threads are you going to open for the same exact issue? You are breaking multiple forum rules right now.
Have you tried calling TMobile to see if there is anything they need to do on their end? There shouldn't be but you never know

So I just grabbed myself a Telus Samsung Galaxy GT-I9250M today, popped in my Mobilicity SIM and nothing. I have let it sit now for 2+ hours to see if it needs to set itself up and just has not been able to connect. I followed some of the instructions in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394017 specifically the APN settings with a no go. When I attempt to search for networks, it usually just sits there at "Searching..." and if it does find a numbered network to connect to, it fails to register on that network. Only network it has been able to connect to is "CDN Roaming" and that does not give me any service.
Any ideas?
Same thing happened to me when I first popped in my Mobilicity sim. Try deleting the proxy entirely then remove and reinsert sim

Thanks Trilogee, that appears to have done the trick.
So glad to be back on a half decent platform, been stuck for the past few months with a Samsung G-Touch waiting for the Galaxy Nexus. Was thinking I might have to return it for a while there.
Thanks again!
No problem bud glad to help..it definitely is a sweet device

Hey guys, I've got the exact opposite problem. I have a Galaxy Nexus that I have used on Rogers, Fido, Moblicity, and Wind, successfully. I just tried to use it on Telus and I have the same problem as above. I'm stumped! The Telus SIM works in my brother's Galaxy Nexus fine!

I have no idea. But a guess would be due to the fact the iPhone SIM is not an LTE SIM. AKA, not compatible with your phone.
Yes need a new sim card. If not in LTE area you can use the HSDPA APN and get 3g speeds.
Sim won't matter, if your coming from an iPhone and didn't change your plan changes are if you look on your s3 its trying to use PTA but you aren't setup for it yet. If you change it to WAP or PHONE it should work or call att change your plan then PTA will work

The answer to this question is simple...and you could have easily searched to find the answer....iphone needs iphone data plan gs3 needs lte data plan...the mini sim is standard...there isnt a special iphone sim etc....next time try searching.....

Call at&t and tell them to switch you to a lte plan. Done.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Ah, makes sense. I thought it would at least get 3G service but i guess not. No worries. Ill call them today.
You should be getting at least 3g. Check your apn settings.

How about even simpler .. if phones are locked.. ATT locks phones to sim card and it won't work with a different one unless you unlock it.

You DO need a new sim card. This happened to my friend a few days ago.

IPhone and androids use a different data plan. You need to get switched to an android data plan.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
If your sim is blue and white, you need a new one. If it's orange, your fine. Just call and have them switch you from the I phone data to the lte data plan.

I got an unlock code from AT&T, but I was never prompted to enter it after putting an H2O Wireless SIM card in my GS3. I'm able to place/receive calls and get data after entering APN settings.
My phone is rooted, but I didn't think it was already unlocked. Maybe I missed something. Any ideas? Thanks..

Did you buy the phone from someone else or an official retailer brand new in the box? If the former, someone may have already unlocked it. Otherwise did you perform the JB unlock method via the services menu?
Sent from my Galaxy S3 on AT&T
I purchased the phone new from AT&T and rooted it a few days later. I never did the JB unlock.

Prepaid or postpaid... They all work as long as they are same phone service provider. Try a different network n see if that works.
Its a network lock, not a service/plan lock.

I guess that explains it, since H2O uses AT&T's network.
Ok SO I could not find a proper thread for this since there are SO many threads. The issue I'm having is I got a Samsung galaxy S III that was unlocked, and after I put my ATT sim into it I could recieve texts and calls but I could not recieve data. So I rooted it and applied clockwork with all my mods and figured I could find some setting that would fix it... well I was wrong. I tried global, GSM and LTE settings none of which would give me data. If there is anything anyone can do to help I would be more than appreciative.

While I agree that you should always call at&t so they can register a device to your account, this will not help his current data issue
OP, is this an international s3, T-Mobile or at&t? What firmware/rom is installed? Again, verify your imei is intact
Ok so this is a verizon Galaxy S3. It is rooted running 4.1.2 JB, Kernal 3.0.31. After I got the phone I did go to an ATT store to register a micro sim because i didn't have one at the time. So the imei is registered to my sim card perfectly. I can get calls and texts without any issue but no data. How do I figure out what the apn settings are and if I have the right configuration?

You do realize you're trying to use a cdma phone (verizon) on a gsm network (at&t), right? Different radios. Different technology. Won't work
Well it was unlocked at the phone has a gsm option so if it wasn't compatable I don't see why they would have the option there to actually use a gsm network.

You need to read more.
this phone only supports GSM with EDGE data.* This essentially means that you'll get 2G data speeds (unless you have a WiFi connection) because it doesn't support UMTS/HSPA+ which is required for international and U.S. 3G data. the 4G LTE frequency supported by this phone is only used in the U.S.* For those who don't know UMTS/HSPA+ is the 3G technology used by GSM carriers internationally (and used by AT&T and T-Mobile in the U.S.) which is different from the CDMA/EV-DO 3G technology used by Verizon and Sprint.*
This phone IS unlocked, that part is correct. But only for gsm carriers
So its preventing me from recieving ANY form of data possible?? It is a Verizon phone and I have ATT so you mean it doesn't support GSM then right?
Sent from my SCH-I535
You're in an at&t s3 forum with a verizon s3 that has zero data. If you really want to pursue this issue, you should start looking around in the Verizon S3 forums

you have a Verizon S3, that is the FIRST place you need to go. always go to the forum for the device you have, bro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1708
If I'm not mistaken, some Verizon devices will not work on US gsm networks even if unlocked, only foreign gsm networks.
Saw an article about this, although it might have been a different phone that was being discussed.

If you are going to stick with AT&T, that is the way to go if you want to have data. No worries. Stupidity is only if you didn't learn anything. You had ignorance of the situation and now your don't. Do some research on any phone before you buy next time (especially if branded from another carrier). This can save you a lot of headaches as you have just learned. Just remember some basics from this forum. Good luck.
Ok so I rooted, unlocked with Chain fire Region Away app, and put Metro SIM in, I get texts and calls Over Wi-fi but no service on Mobile Network. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Yea, I tried everything, but what I think it was is that the SIM unlock probably didn't work. So, I just ported my number over to TMO. Thanks for the response though.
