[INFO]What to do when you cannot access 3G

I had a problem accessing 3G when installing a new rom. After flashing a few roms and finding out that roms were not the issue, as well as applying a few radio updates and changing radios and a google on the internet, I found out what was the problem. The access point was not set up. Defrost's rom based on cyanogen mod had the massive APN List preloaded, hence I never ran into that problem. However, most roms did not.
Here's how to set it up
Creating a new access point
When you need to add another data connection on your phone, obtain the access point name and settings (including username and password if required) from your mobile operator.
1) From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless & networks.
2) Tap Mobile networks > Access Point Names.
3) On the APNs screen, press MENU and then tap New APN.
4) On the Edit access point screen, enter the APN settings. Tap an APN setting item to edit it.
5) Go to this site and find your mobile network company name
6) Modify the settings as said
7) Press MENU and then tap Save.
You should now have working 3G!

I thought you already had a thread on this and a mod said to post this in general?
If you think its apn problem, install the rom it works on and then download apn backup and restore. Use that to backup apns and then when you install a rom you want, use the same app to reinstall the apns you backed up.

Good advice, but this doesn't need to be in development.

[Q] Request - Screenshots of Settings\Wireless & Networks\Mobile Networks

Hello,
I now this sounds kind of strange, but I need to create a small procedure on how to disable data roaming and provide it to our employees.
Unfortunately, I flashed a MIUI Rom on it and the settings menu looks completely different.
It is true that I could flash a Sense rom again, but it would require me to change my hboot partition layout again, flash another rom, wipe all my data/settings and it would take me almost half a day to get my MIUI Rom completely configured again.
If it is not too much to ask, could someone be so kind to provide me 4screenshots from their device (Sense/ASOP)?
- One from the app drawer with the Settings icon visible
- One from the Settings menu with the Wireless & Networks option visible
- One from the Wireless & Networks menu with the Mobile Networks option visible
- One from the Mobile Networks menu itself
I would be very grateful.
Wkr,
Laurens.

[Q] Bada 2.0 S8500 GPS location Problem after Upgrade 2.0

Bada 2.0 S8500 GPS location Problem after Upgrade 2.0
Dear Friends,
i am facing problem in Location Service/GPS system my Bada S8500 after upgrade Bada 2.0. It's not working.
Please any one solve my problem...

If you just upgraded from bada 1.x to bada 2.0 and and now have problem with Navigation (Route 66), do this simple setting:
1. Setting => Location =>Location service (set it to on; i.e. green colour).
2. Back to main menu, launch "Navigation" (allow it to run for few seconds)
3. Then click on "More" (on Navigation menu) => Contents (download contents for Navigation, to sync your license; download maps; and download any other contents you have purchased e.g safety camera, etc).
4. That's all.
NB: In case your problem is not with Navigation (Route 66), please do well to explain in details what problem you are facing.

Normally when you install any location/GPS app manually, you need to also activate/include this app in the location service manually. Otherwise you will always receive the said error of 'Location service is disabled'
For Example, I installed the GPS Status app.
When I tried to start the GPS, it displayed error of 'Location service is disabled'.
Yes, even if I have enabled location service in my phone, but I have not enabled it for GPS Status app.
To solved this, I go to Setting => Location => Location service (already set to ON, if not, turn it ON),
then on same page/menu, scroll down to bottom of page where you will find your installed location/GPS app (in this example, GPS Status), and turn it ON.
Now go back and launch your location/GPS app, and it will no longer display the error. It will now work.

[Q] Wifi settings not shown?

so I just got the 5.1.1 update and the wifi setting are nowhere to be found. where can I find them?

It should be under Settings (Settings / WiFi Settings). You need your phone to input password if your AP is secured.

Mobile Data Not Working (not completely)

Hello, I have a rather strange problem with my phone.
After the Update which has just been released (MIUI Global 10.3.1.0 (ODEMIXM)
he began to behave in a strange way my mobile internet.
For example: Youtube, Facebook, Messenger, Google Maps work normally.
And all other applications no longer (even an application to Check system update)
I'm popping up a message: No connection.
I did different things: Reset Internet settings,
change network settings in options (* # * # 4636 # * # *)
and even a hard reset.
if you have questions Yes on Wi-Fi works normally.
Greetings!

Try factory reset first.

Same problem in my phone too. The only app which is remain usable of the internet is the Chrome browser. Messeaging apps, navigation, ebay, etc... is always lost somehow the connection: even when I using the app: for example I browsing in the ebay app and after 10mins,its says sonetging got wrong and I can go on only when I turn wifi/adata off and on. And yes, ön my mi mix 2, the problem is still exist on wifi and mobil net too.

Mi Mix 2 Havoc OS 3.7 Mobile Internet
I am facing a similar issue.
Has anyone found a solution for this ?
I'm running a ROM : Havoc OS 3.7 Android 10
Also tried ROM : AICP and Lineage.. Same Issue!
I keep shuffling LTE / 3G it connects sometime but the connection is unstable.
Permanently displays an X in the mobile signal as if there is no mobile data connection.
Please share a solution if anyone has found one.

I realize only some data isn't working but you could save your apns-conf.xml from another setup where you have no data issues and everything works perfect (I always keep one handy) and delete your current apns-conf.xml in /system/etc and system/product/etc and paste the good one in your /system/etc and set permissions on new apns-conf.xml to 0644 using root explorer or whatever root file manager you use then go to settings on your device/networks and internet/mobile network/access point names/ and top right hit the three dot menu select reset to default and wait till you see LTE show in status bar and reboot. If it's an apn issue that will solve it.
My Mix 2 isn't hooked up anymore to a service but I do use it on wifi at home but the apns-conf.xml on stock rom/miui may be slightly different than they are on an AOSP custom rom. I know that's been the case for me on every device I've done this on so be sure if you do give this a shot that you use your miui apns-conf.xml on miui roms and AOSP apn xml on AOSP custom roms so that it will work.
I've been using this process when I have had any data issues at all on my last 3 devices and it's worked 100% every single time when after installing a custom rom I've had no data this works to get LTE going. Credit to spaceminer for this info on the apn delete and swap, data fix as he's who I first learned this from on another forum.
