So I got a new SGS3 and it works fine, except when I am in 3G. When I am in 3G I can receive and place calls but no data. Att support was no help, so I figured I would check here. As far as I can tell it is either a APN, Gateway, or Account settings issue (the later being something I can not do anything about). I say this because my n1 gets signal fine here, and it seems to run fine, so long as it is 4g.
Any ideas? Also, does the SGS3 have EDGE support?

Bump: And also I tried to set an old APN but that didn't help.
Have you rooted and flashed it or are you stock? If you are just stock...there is nothing this forum can do to help really.

I have not rooted or anything, I have tried some APNs but I was hoping other people might help me out with something else to try. I don't really buy the whole " if you are stock... there is nothing that can be done" What if I was trying to get help with a stock developer build of my n1 (which I have previously) or are you asserting that without rooting I will not be able to fiddle with the modem settings?
What I'm saying is the phone comes ready out of the box. Unless you have changed something then it is a network problem. You will have to take it up with AT&T.
U can only do so much stock....and thats not alot! Root and use stock rom so u will have root access to see whats what...and to be able to control what u do or dont want ur data to do

Thank you guys for trying to help but I know all this. I am just in the period of time I can take it back and I don't want to risk that by bricking it while monkeying around.
I (Maybe) have isolated the problem, they said that I was set up for LTE and there are some issues with proper propagation of properties. Anyway problem "May" only effect people on ATT with Samsung S3s bought at BestBuy locations and the upgrade includes unlimited data. Still working will update tonight....
BUMP!
Hey guys, i have a few questions
i have a tmobile gs3 and am passionately waiting for the JB OTA update. Untill then however, i would love to use CM10 JB ROM. THe only problem is that it doesnt have the tmobile wifi "built-in" app for that. So does anyone know a way for that to happen? (PM me if you know a way).
Also, currently im am using ICS and it seems like i need at least one bar of cellular coverage for wifi to work. If i am not registering a cellular network, my wifi will not work. I noticed this pretty recently and was wondering if it is like that normally. Are there apps or fixes that can allow you to use wifi if you are not registering cellular network at all (kinda like an airplane mode)?
Thanks alot
I will donate to developers if they can help me out
Don't want to be one of those people, but there are a lot of threads on it. But, pretty much, unless it has changed recently, there isn't a wifi-calling for any CM stuff yet and not sure if there will be. Some people were working on a project. There are other roms out there that do have working wifi calling though, might want to take a look at those.
Also, you don't need cell signal for the wifi calling to work.

What do u mean a WiFi built in app? Also have u tried any new radios for cell coverage? And WiFi does not need any cellular service at all

thanks for quick reply guys.
i have had cm10 jb on my gs3 and then i decided that i needed tmobile wifi calling. so once i downloaded stock ics from samsung and installed it, my wifi calling only works when i am registering the cellular network. If i dont have any bars (and wifi is connected) it won't call at all. wjat could be the fix for this?
Did you do a clean install..

Well if u flashed the stock ROM with Odin like u said let it boot up then go into stock recovery or if u have a custom recovery wipe data and caches. To get in it is the same way either way. Vol up, home, and power at same time
I just moved to CM10 a few minutes ago and personally, I don't know how I would ever go back to anything less than this. Why worry about WiFi calling when there are plenty of VoIP alternatives that use Google Voice?

can i somehow set it up so that when my tmobile number is unavailable, it redirects it to google voice? But only when my number is unavailable (as in i wouldn't want to set the redirect every time i am planning to go off service). The thing is that i go to school and i see patients all day long, and in some places i have reception and in some i dont. its very irregular and unpredictable. so if i could set it up in the way that "if unavailable, redirect to google voice" type of thing, i would be a happy camper.
Oh and also, even my google voice does not work if i am not registering a cellular network just a bit. (help with this too?)
thanks guys

im not sure what i did, but i know that i did not specifically erase any data. it just seems that wifi calling is an integral part of the firmware that any "random" data on the phone should no phase it. hmm...
Can someone confirm that CM10 JB has a option in the Phone App menu to forward a call when unreachable? I donw want to go thru the hassle of installing it if it doesnt have that option.
thanks alot guys

I'll look into this further and see what I can uncover for you. I use GrooveIP for my VoIP needs and it was a godsend when I was on the $30 plan with T-Mobile. Hopefully I can find something that will suit your needs in the process.

There should be a setting for phone forwarding just like any other OS/phone. Just change it to your GV number and should be GTG.
someone could copy and paste their apn text in this thread that has Jellybread rom running on their EVO 4g on cricket or metropcs. I dont get how internet could work but not mms. Ive tried all sorts of apns from all sorts of cricket phones and this is the ONLY thing stopping this from being the absolute best mod ive found! so fast and stable!

Thank you so much! To make things even more confusing when I was using cyanogenmod 10 rom mms was working perfectly, however I found the rom to be buggy, VERY SLOW and all around confusing. So I figured if I used the apn-conf.xml from that and put it in jellybreads apn-conf.xml (despite cgm's being sprit) ot should work! No dice. Ill give yours a shot n let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

If that APN is what got you hot and bothered, lol, be certain to link back to it in other threads for other users to be able to configure their setup as well. I don't even use my Evo for anything more than a music player, so I could very well not be capable of much more here.

well that apn work specifically for jellybread. Ive been searching for as i said 3 days for a simple custom rom that was stable and fast and fully functional (Minus 4g :,-() . all of them seemed to have major flaws, slow and bloated, threw my phone in a loop, far too many options confusing me.
but for wimax I'm convinced that since I have 4g included in my plan for cricket if i could figure out the right settings in qpst I could get on 4g too. Id probably get a heart attack though from excitement. Ive seen youtube videos for it but i could only hope. ill try posting a new thread for that though.
bless you!

The other cricket users of JellyBread and Kendallc123 herself may be as ecstatic as you if you can get 4g working with cricket, but you should link to this in the JellyBread thread so that the cricket users there see it. Also I'd thank user/dev Wambo_Bomb, since he is the one who left me that APN when he gave me his old Evo.
i spoke too soon. my phone said the message was sent, which before it wasn't even doing that but they aren't getting the pictures on the receiving phone. back to trying out different roms :,-(
though i despise having 2 different numbers for messaging and despise having a app for text and another for mms i suppose i can just use my text free account from pinger for images and my phone for text. obnoxious but it is a work around i suppose.

Cricket 4g will never work on the og. The reason is simple cricket 4g is lte while the og is wimax. Now as far as mms that will work but you have to make changes to the apn. I have attached one that I know works but you will have to edit the username in the apn. Unlike most carriers each cricket user has a unique user name. It is your phone number here is an example ( [email protected]). Easiest way way to do this is get apn backup and restore from playstore. Backup your current apn and then copy this one into the apnbackup folder that was created and edit the username. Turn on airplane mode delete apn then restore the cricket_sprint.XML file. Reboot phone and turn off airplane mode.
As long as your settings are correct in qpst then this will get your mms working. If you need further help feel free to pm me.

thank you for the link ill give it a shot. as i said before I've tried MANY apn settings so i do know how to do it. every apn ive tried for cricket or metropcs though has had different numbers in the other lines. (NOT the MDN line, i know you have to put your number in the mdn line) My settings in qpst have to be correct or internet wouldn't be working as well, because as I said the cryogenmod 10 rom was the only rom that mms, (and everything eles worked) for even though the apn was set to sprit. (makes no sense to me but it worked) But the rom was pretty much unusable on my phone with how much battery it drained, (2 and a half hours and the batter was gone) how slow it was, (cpu usage was constantly at 998mhz) and the rom was all around confusing for someone SOMEWHAT new to this stuff with too many options i didn't understand.
I think its something other than apn settings because the cryogenmod rom worked for mms and internet though the apn was set to sprint. all other roms ive tried has had either sms not working and/or mms not working and/or phone not working and/or contact lists not working something for the basic phone functions causes force close errors with all other mods.
once again it didn't work. the pictures say sent but are not being recived by the person im sending them too. SMS that are too long and converted to MMS come arcoss as code to the person they are sent too. I dont understand why one rom with sprint apn settings would work but this one wont. is it possible for roms to change qpst settings? i cant tell anymore though as i cant enter diagnostic mode.

BTW i switched back to the stock htc sense rom.
I have a new Galaxy S3 (AT&T branded) phone... No matter what I do any extra APN settings I put in the APNs gets randomly deleted... I thought it was my SIM card but ANY SIM I try this happens, with Straight Talk, With Net10, and with AT&T Go Phone... if its not the default one randomly during the day it will get deleted... I have Googled this issue and found MANY people with the same exact issue but none have an answer except return the Phone... I would love to except I got the phone off a guy who just bought it from Radio Shack (We traded phones and cuz I deleted my old phone to sell it the texts are gone and I never put his number in my phone book... He was a very computer illiterate and thought that Net10 was cutting off his Data so it was happening with him too but he had not a clue... So returning it is out of the question... what do I try? I looked here and found a few old threads about this but never resolved (maybe I missed some?) This is making the phone next to unsusible its a 100% stock phone I am looking into finding a way to do a full restore Via Kies right now but I doubt that will work... Samsung is useless in this issue they say talk to Straight talk and Straight talk says talk to Samsung and AT&T wont even talk to me since I don't have a contract... please help...

If it's 100% stock, what do u mean when u say that you're going to do a full restore? Have u unlocked the phone yet? There are a few threads that tell u how to do this, and u have to be stock, so try that and see if it helps. Are u saving the new APN after u create it? I've had this happen a couple of times after flashing a new ROM, later on I would reboot, and my straight talk APN would be gone, but I just create another one and it always sticks after that... Is your phone updated to the newest 4.1.2?

Just a recap... I have Android 4.1.2, my phone is AT&T branded... The APN settings randomly delete themselves, all of them, it doesn't matter if I make 20 APNs and save them all when it happens all of them go away... I found something strange today... I lost my APN settings like normal early this morning (right before I posted this thread) and I was being lazy so I just put in the APN and the port I left out the MMS settings Cuz I didn't feel like looking them up plus I don't think I've gotten a picture message since 2002... Anyway the settings have not cleared yet and its been a whole day... Maybe its one of those long times were it won't reset for a day or two... Or maybe just maybe I am on to something... I have never seen the APN settings reset yet with just the data set up and nothing else.... I'll keep it like this and keep u all posted....

Hmmm, not really sure then. I just used my old sim that came with the 959g, trimmed it down, created a new APN with all the old settings and was good to go! Maybe try APN manager from the market? U can backup and restore your settings. At least u wouldn't have to enter them manually every time.

Yes it totaly random and other people have the same issue... the APNs still havent reset with the way I have it now maybe it has something to do with the MMS settings here are the new settings maybe someone can find a flaw in them...
FIELD SETTINGS
NAME straight talk
APN tfdata
PORT 80
MMSC http://mms-tf.net
MMS PROXY mms3.tracfone.com
MMS PORT 80
as of right now only putting in the TFdata line with the first port 80 seems to be keeping it... I dont use my MMS but I do have really long texts that get sent MMS sometimes and they would not get sent/receved so is there anyone who can look at this and tell me if Straight Talk ****ed something up here? the thing is Both Net10 AND Straight Talk have these same exact settings and the Go phone could have just been cuz I had the Straight talk ones in the list,..... I might be on to something here.... if I get this Ill post on all of those pages that had issues that have never been resolved maybe the MMSC or the MMS PROXY is giving errors cuz I do know that when it works with all of these settings on the data is a slower (3Mbps) to when its just the data settings (6Mbps plus) but that could have been a acquiescence (spelled right?) LOL can someone who knows about MMS and MMS proxys get back at me?
WTF?!?!?
THE APN Settings still have not reset with just the Data settings wrote in.. Im going to put the MMS settings in tonight and see how long it lasts till it resets... I hope this helps someone knowing you can have the DATA settings at lest is better then nothing... Im gonna experiment, if they delete again ill try the old proxy and MMS settings and see if they still work...

I got TWO major reasons why I haven't rooted yet, the first being I have heard from more then one site that returning the S3 has fixed the problem like the one they had was defective, if I have to return it I'd rather it be stock (I know I said I couldn't return it to the store but I know if I ***** at Samsung long enough they will give me the warranty since they have the record of when it was sold)
The other reason is I want to try and figure the problem out if it is a glitch, hardware issue, Android issue, whatever it may be and if I root and ROM it then that's just one more factor I have to throw in to the list of things that could be messing with my results... also some of the other posts Ive read they were on CM 10.1 so it could be a deeper issue.... I think maybe its the way the MMS is entered to the device maybe there is a trick... there is a hi-fen (I don't know how to spell it) in the settings and I have never seen one before in MMS settings...
Lastly I take my time and go though all the ROMs cuz I don't like to flash my phones over and over since I use my phone though out the day for many reasons so I need a working smartphone.... but I do have to do it soon since I do need my Tether... my SGSII is looking better all the time to bring as back up since its not getting much traffic on Craigslist....
Weird.....
So I have been going for DAYS without an issue.... the only thing that's different in my APN now is the NAME from when it was deleting itself... I used to name it Straight Talk but i been named it TF I wonder if having a space in the name messed it up? this is truly strange and if that's the issue then I will have to lay down and take a nap from the head trauma that will follow, finding out that naming the APN wrong can have these effects... Ill report back here ASAP on this....
almost a month and still working have not a clue what is going on...
I did remember seeing an update from AT&T but it didn't seem like any kind of firmware update I thought it was something to do with one of their apps but who knows... APNs are working fine now haven't had one delete on me in all this time... strangest thing I have ever seen... I bought a 6.5 inch Monster quad core phone from China and will be joining that thread now (if there is one)... I gotta sell this SIII and SII now LOL but thanks for all of you who tried to help
I installed SHOstock3 ROM onto my I777 yesterday. After messing around with my phone, I found a few errors but the most pressing is no mobile data. My plan was through AT&T but now its through NET10. I entered in a new APN with NET10s settins (tfdata) but no dice. I have read on this forum that I might have to delete the 3 AT&T APNs that are listed but I cant delete them.
I triple checked my APN settings for NET10 but still no dice. Must I flash the modem?
Thanks.
do you have cell service at all

What is hard to understand? I didnt say anything about making/receiving calls because that works just fine. So does SMSing.

My phone can do the following:
Make calls
Receive calls*
Sent SMSs
Receive SMSs
Connect to wifi
My phone cannot do:
Connect to mobile data. Full signal, correct APN settings through NET10
* I have recieved any calls since I flashed my phone but since I can call out, I assume I can receive.

You're crappy reply back is probably a major factor in the lack of assistance.
Have you tried any of the settings in this forum?

Setup #1 seems to work for some, with APN listed as blank.

None of the OP settings work but the post towards the bottom of the page does.
Screw this stupid forum rule. I tried to list all of the settings that worked for me but the rule that says I cant post link until I have 10 or more posts wont let me. Sorry, I tried to list something here that would be helpfull but the help included links that I cannot post.
I had an APN setup that was close to that but I didnt have any proxies in. My OEM ROM didnt need them but I see that this custom ROM does. I need to do more testing but the quick test that I did showed 3G and H+. OEM ROM showed 4G all the time from what I can remember. Thank you!

Orginal question has been answered (THANKS!) but just like before, MMS messaging does not work. Time for a new thread (once I get 10 or more posts)

So SMS works but not MMS ? With stock messaging app or third party from the ROM?

I believe when sms is converted to mms, it then runs off the data line. I dunno what to tell this guy. If he says he checked his settings and they are okay then I dunno. Double check with net10, if not then just sick it up and move over to metro or redpocket, maybe another mvno.
He shouldn't get all prissy over forum rules. We're all dealt with it. Keeps the people asking for a hand out away.

I do know if he opens ANOTHER thread I'll be the first one to hit the report button. Rules are here to prevent chaos.

Sounds easy to me, find the right MMS proxy. I looked at the link I gave him for possibles, no fricking clue which one he referencing as soft of working.
I saw four different ones.

Stock messaging works (SMS) but if I try to send an MMS with the stock messaging program, it never goes through. I have never tried another program. I had hangout for a while but I got rid of it.

But web surfing works ???
You most likely need to find the right MMS proxy server and it's port. Most likely it's 80, I haven't seen one that's been 8080 in a while.
Is mms one if the things in the "apn type" field?

As soon as I get the privilege to post links, I will post what worked for me. The info I used is not in the OP of that thread, its towards the bottom of the page and was posted by someone other than the OP. The post has a lot of thanks for it was well.

What the hell try adding these...
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
And like mindmajick asked, is there anything in your APN TYPE? Most of the examples I see for NET10 say leave it as not set.

I set the MMS proxy as you said but still no dice. APN TYPE was MMS but is now blank. Still nothing.
When you flashed your custom ROM, you may have nuked your APN settings!
As the title says, I think your problem may be related to custom ROMs wiping out APN settings that may have come from the store (or put in by Net10 upon activation/initialization of the phone), and if that's the case, I think I can help you!
I've just gotten done activating (read: porting), configuring, flashing with custom ROMs, and setting up APN settings on 4 unlocked phones that we brought to Net10 (on AT&T's network, via the BYOP program, since these are unlocked GSM/WCDMA phones), I believe I can assist you here.
Rather than trying random combinations of APN settings to try and find one that works, if you call Net10 Customer Support (877-836-2368), all you have to do (once you tell them your phone number/SIM serial number) is ask for someone who can assist you in updating the APN settings for unlocked phones.
You'll be transfered to a different section of Net10's/Tracfone's Technical Support, and whoever picks up will likely tell you they can assist you once you repeat what it is you need help with. They'll tell you the usuals (make sure WiFi, Bluetooth, and Airplane Mode are off, and make sure Cellular Data is enabled, but not Cellular Roaming Data), and then they'll tell you to go down into your SIM/Mobile Network settings screen, and create a New APN. They'll read off the settings they should have, and they they will (or if they don't, you should ask them to "resend the switch and update the settings on their end" in those _exact_ terms, as they've cut the times for this from 3 hours to less than 30 minutes per phone for me).
Then they'll tell you to select the new APN settings, and reboot the phone (or turn it off and back on if your ROM doesn't have a reboot option); they'll have you attempt to open a browser and pull a page down (I highly suggest a mobile site of some sort, being that they're the lightest; it'll either work here or not, there is no "to what degree does it work"). If it doesn't work, they'll give you different settings (though it's not taken more than two APN setting tries for me, and that's mainly because of the area I live in), and then try the browser again. Once the browser is able to pull a mobile site, they'll ask you to try sending a picture message (again, I reccommend a small picture, as it either works or doesn't, so the size will only hold you up longer the bigger it is), even if it's just to yourself.
I've found that if you're simply respectful and paitent with them (as they sometimes have to spend 10 minutes putting various bits of data into other spots on their computers), they will be able to get it done for you within half an hour per phone.
I would highly reccommend that you don't mention your custom ROM however; so long as it doesn't interfere with the APN settings they will never know any better when you tell them you just have a "Samsung Galaxy Note II", and they'll be none the wiser as they fix it for you (because it realistically makes no difference in a problem like this).
If you mention it however, they won't want to help, because they don't know anything about custom ROMs (it seems they're all very terrified of them, and believe they are the spawn of Pewdiepie and Justain Beiber or something similar! XD)
Hoping I've been able to help you here, since I've extremely recent knowledge/experiences to do with the APN settings myself! (Also post whoring as I apparently need 10 before I can let the developers of my custom ROM know about some bugs I've found, go figure!)
If I'm incorrect on the issue, then I'm terribly sorry, and please feel free to ignore me -- I do not claim to be affialiated with Net10, Samsung, whatever ROM you have/whoever wrote/maintains it, etc., and am only trying to be helpful where your problem sounds like something I've dealt with before.
EDIT: I just realized I left out the most important bit! The entire reason for calling them instead of working through all the various permutations of APN setting combos is because your APN settings will be based on [A] your SIM, your phone (NOT ROM, just the phone's IMEI pairing to the SIMs), and [C] your home area/location you use the phone most often.
