Hi, my dad brought the this phone from China (for the second time, the first phone got bricked) and it came rooted with an ics rom. Wifi and the edge network was working,but I could not get 3g or 4g data. (It showed a 'G' on top of my network data bar on the top right). Is there a rom i can download that will allow at least my 3g data to be working. So far I tried cm10 but only the edge network worked and I had no wifi connection. My Baseband is SU640-MDM9200B V10i. I live in Canada and the phone is from China. Who knows what is wrong?
As far as I know the radios are different so that could be the problem.

you have to modify build.prop to correct region so your phone uses the proper radio settings for this region.
i'm not an expert but you can get a build.prop editor on play store, change the region to US i think it's ro.product.locale.region is the entry i think that's what it is on my rom atleast

Thanks for the suggestion, i tried your idea but no luck. I changed the value of that line to US and also CA but it was still giving me edge network.

This may sound stupid but did you set your APN for your carrier?

Lol yeah I did this already. I put the correct APN (the same one I use for my lg optimus 2x that receives data connection). Thanks for the suggestion though, it's the simple ones that are usually the solution. Not this time though

Same problem happen to me when I changed the baseband before set the network mode to "GSM/WCDMA preferred".What I do is to rollback "the initial baseband" and make sure is 3G available.

What is your baseband now?Have you ever changed it?If yes, rollback your baseband using " dd if=/sdcard/baseband.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14"(baseband.img is the one you used before,v10i,v10f...or else) ,after finish reboot your phone and set your network mod to "GSM/WCDMA preferred". (not sure it will work,just for your reference)

Haven't done anything to the baseband. It is APQ806/MDM9200. Should I just type that line into a terminal I download from Google play.
Extra info: I'm rooted on the newest jb v30c but can't seem to get into recovery I think because it's a secured/locked boot loader.

Check "network mode",is it "GSM only" and unchangeable?Otherwise this probably not a baseband problem

Before and after I input the code the network mode says 2 things... Lte preferred and 3g only. Either one I choose gives me the 'E' network above the bars.
Just out of curiosity which country and carrier are you with?

Unable to set or change the APN after flashing cm7. The list shows up blank and while I do get a signal and can make calls I cannot use cell data. I did the process from scratch twice and even flashed down to .368 which did not help. I saw a guy using Telia with the same issue on CM forums. I use AT&T with LT15a, bootloader remote unlocked to preserve DRM keys.

Hi,
this build does not work for me.
I´am the last with this bug?
I tried these builds
- update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaArc-LT15i-SELFKANG-RILTEST-signed
- update-cm-7.1.0.1-XperiaArc-LT15i-signed
- update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaArc-LT15i-KANG-signed.
Always the same with data connection.
My provider is t-mobile.de.
My sim-card is realy old, i think 10 years. Is this the reason?
regards haudegen
Yeah actually a sim that old will never work with 3g. I learned this on T-Mobile in the US. From what I understand there is a 3g component in the newer Sims. Just get a new card.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
A new card solved the problem.
regards haudegen
I can not connect to mobile data network.Wifi runs normal but mobile data does not!
Checked my SIM in other phone and mobile data works!
Also this happened to me since I updated my phone using PC Companion and I put a new ROM in hope that mobile data will work but no :/
Also I have downloaded my carrier network settings!
MY rom now is Xperia Ultimate HD™ 2.0

Check your Carrier internet settings. APN, IP.
There are something you can do. Some gives you auto config when you text them with some code. Try googling your carrier 3g hsdpa internet settings.

You can find them under

Flashing baseband does nothing to have with this

All of a sudden I can't send mms, I've tried all the apn's and even factory reset, all the way up to odin the phone all the way back. I still can't get mms to work. Someone please help. The phone is tmobile s3, locked, never had any issues, not rooted.

If it just happened randomly, then it's probably on the carrier side. Call and see if they made any changes recently that could affect this. Otherwise, I'm just not sure.

I don't I'm puzzled by this. I had someone look into it for me. The only thing they could come up with was my phone is T-Mobile kicked do they can't help me.. yet they're a T-Mobile mvno
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I'm actually wondering if it could be T-Mobile's fault....sorta. with all of their recent changes and network upgrades, couldn't it be possible that some important things are now different, but your carrier has no idea about it as they may not have been informed? Or maybe something like this wasn't expected. It's just a guess of course, but I know the primary apn changed in markets where T-Mobile deployed LTE. Maybe other things changed too?
I know you said you tried the different apn's, but try the file linked below. Rename the current apns-conf.xml with .bak and copy this one over. It's in /system/etc/ I believe. Then reboot and see if it helps. It's all I can think to try right now. But this has only the new T-Mobile apn. All others are removed.

That kind of sounds like it could be an account problem, just a guess though, but it would make sense. Maybe go to a local store and ask.If you can try one of their SIM cards in your device.

If you're stock, not rooted, there's not a lot you can do. Chances are it's an issue on the carrier side still. Have you tried your SIM in another device? Tried a new, or someone else's SIM?

Well I can still send mms if I use a third party app, without having to use Wi-Fi.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk now Free
Usually a stock sms/mms app sends via the carrier, so it goes over a secure line through their servers....or something similar to that. Hard to explain. 3rd party apps don't care about your carrier and just send over the internet, be you connected via WiFi or mobile data.

Hi I747 that I unlocked to T-MOBILE. Stock with root and editing apn setting works great. LTE, voice work but when I try and install a rom I lose voice. Ever call immediately ends with status of cancelled. Ability to edit apn natively no longer an option, had to download a 3rd party app to access menu. Got lte no problem, but voice, sms and play store access all broken. What am I missing or doing wrong? Thank you
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Type this in *#2263# choose automatic. If this dosnt work and you get invalid MMI code then go to settings under the data column go more. And change your network mode from lte to automatic or lte/gsm/wcdma
This is a problem with the lte networks that was supposedly fixed but wasn't.
If problem persist make sure you have the right access point name (under more network options) call your provider and ask for the correct APN
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I'll give it a try. That was what was odd. Access point name wasn't an option under more network options. Was able to choose network mode. Had to download an apn settings apk to get into menu. I'll try the code listed above. But an att Rom shouldn't break my access to tmo network, that right?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
It should not. Most d2 devices are under the d2 common cm10.2 settings. However I do advice you to find a d2tmo ROM as they are different from hardware to hardware. If you have an i747 it shouldn't mess with it too much.
As stated before although most d2 devices are built with d2common source that does not mean all ROMs will work with your hardware or won't be extremely unstable. I've had d2tmo and d2mtr ROMs work with my hardware.
Again if you have a i747 it shouldnt matter too much

Ok. So grabbing a sgh-I999 or whatever model tmo s3 is will likely be compatible? What specifies a d2tmo or att device? Is it the kernel or the radio or other. Wonder if I push model specific Rom then push d2tmo kernel or if it will even matter. But thanks I have stuff to try.

You will most likely brick your device then. The hardware is what makes it different. Do not trust what cwm as a wrong version of cwm can be installed. I strongly advice against flashing wrong firmware as you can brick your device (especially kernels)

Have a M919 (Tmobile GS4) using the CMInstaller I was able to install CM11 on the phone. WIFI works data and voice doesn't. Most thread discuss modifying the APNs, mine look okay (compared with APN settings). The one option "CDMA subscription" I am not able to change it from NV to RUIM/SIM. Even if I select RUIM/SIM it goes back when I check if the change was kept. Also Reboots clear my IMEI and other info but it returns after being on for a while.
My main issue is getting voice/data working. Toggling airplane mode doesn't change anything. Im currently using the LTE/GSM/WCDMA network type. The APN's look good and the SIM data does eventually show up any suggestions on setting RUIM/SIM and keeping it or suggestions in general are welcome. Thanks

Thanks for the reply..CMinstaller took over the entire installation and I thought the kernal would include a modem. If you have found a way to get voice/data working please share the knowledge.
