[Q] unable to use browser but can update weather/fb/email etc?

I've got a bit of weird problem on HTC Desire.
I've noticed that whenever I'm using my mobile internet data (Vodafone Aus), I can't actually do any sort of web browsing, but I can use the facebook app, update the weather widget, retrieve email from hotmail + Gmail etc, basically everything that needs internet access except use the browser.
I've tried both the default and Dolphin HD with no luck - Google home page will load but that's only because its in the cache - I can't do any new Google searches etc.
I know the phone can access websites because I can browse the net when I connect to my uni's WiFi, or any other WiFi.
Wondering if there's some kind of mobile internet setting I should be changing that I'm not aware that might solve this?
I know I should call Vodafone and ask them to check if there's somehow a problem on my account on their end but figured I might ask on here first to see if anyone else has had anything like this happen before I do so - just so they don't turn around and tell me its the phone.
(when I went in to set up the plan, the lady specifically told me that they took no responsibility for their services working on a "non Vodafone phone")
Oh and I don't think its worthy to note, but just in case:
ever since I switched to the contract from pre-paid I haven't been able to send international text, despite having roaming activated. Since I switched plans when I got the new phone, I can't actually determine if its the contract, the phone, or both that's not letting me send (but I suspect its Vodafone - something else I need to hassle them about)
Any help would be awesome

Sounds like you don't have some settings. Give Vodafone a ring and see if they can send the correct settings to your phone. They won't take responsibility but they can help you like that since your using their service. If that doesn't work, have a look in the APN settings.

Thanks Meaple, I'll have a go, although Vodafone generally redirects you to their website where you input your phone model and it gives you the APN values you need to put in, which I have done.
Having said that, I can't send MMS with my phone despite having their APN values, so I know the MMS part must be wrong somehow
- I didn't think it could be the APN because the internet isn't completely inaccessible? Is it possible for apps to be able to use the net while the browser can't?

Never mind - Solved my problem.
In my attempt to fix my MMS problem way back, I changed settings around and stupidly added the "MMS Port" and "MMS proxy" as the proxy + port for internet, without realising the actual options for those two were further down.
- Deleted those, and went back and re-did the setup for the MMS as per vodafone instructions, setting up a separate "VF PXT" APN
(in my search for solutions I'd found a post somewhere saying you could combine the information for MMS and internet into 1 APN, and that's what I had done)
Cheers for nudging me to re-check APN settings, Meaple

[Q] Cyanogenmod 7.1 Issues

Good Day,
I have flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1 onto my phone 3 times with the same resulting problems each.
It looks beautiful but I have the following issues:
1)Does not allow data to come on. (wireless does work though)
2)Not sinking to HTC Sync/ google....so no contacts, or can't get apps downloaded.
Has anyone else had simialr problems? Because I am rather confused at the moment.
Still trying to work it out.
Any help much appreciated.
Regards,
rkdeane

Hi,
You might need to configure APN by yourself. Your provider's website should give you the correct username and password. For your other problems I recommend going to the Cyanogenmod forums for advice.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Data is probably an apn set up issue as previously said. Htc sync is for sense based roms only.
Sent from my Motorola Startac running Atari 2600 software!

1. Check the APN settings and make sure it's correct. Make sure data is enabled and you are not using 2G.
2. HTC sync will not work as it's not Sense UI I believe. Make sure you flash the separate add on for google apps so you get the market installed. Go to accounts and sync found under settings and sign in with your google account. That would download your contacts from google.
I hope this helps a bit with your transition from Sense UI to AOSP.

thanks guys,
How do you change APN settings manually...when I enter APN i just get a blank screen. The other section selects them automatically....in my case LIME Barbados.
I got some info from here with the inputs:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s/163023-apn-settings.html
But just can't find where to input it!!
Also, with wireless on, connected to internet....it doesn't let me login to the phone with my google account...which i find strange.

for trying to sync:
i go:
Accounts & Sync -->add account --->put in gmail name/password---->
then it comes up with
domain/username : \my name
password: *******
Server: gmail.com
when i click next i get: ''Set up could not finish.... Unable to open connection to server.''

Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
There is usually something listed here already. If there is none then on this part
Press Menu>New APN
Then enter your settings.
Once you are done with the settings, press back button to save it. Then make sure you have the gree dot next to to the APN name on.

I'm such a noob. Thanks.
didn't think to press menu for any options...
oops

Ok so sorted out data...thanks guys.....eventually got requried settings....unfortunately still having that problem with syncing.

soved; have to downlaod google apps seperately

Picture messages

I keep trying to send a picture message and it says "service not available on network".
I cleared the cache and it fixed it before but now it won't work.
Any help would be nice!
How do I fix this?

Are you running stock or flashed ROM/Kernel?
Just so I don't leave you with nothing, here's a shot in the dark.
Changing some Access Point Name (APN) settings could help.
- APN to either epc.tmobile.com or fast.tmobile.com (whichever is not your current default)
- and or manually entering APN Types (ex."default,supl,admin,mms")
[These can always be restored to default]

OR.....
go to your settings, connections, more networks, mobile networks (turn off data), then select network more and choose LTE, then go to network operators and search now, wait a minute until it pulls up tmobile, then select it and reboot. Possible could be a bad SIM card, worst case, bad mother board, in which case it has warranty, good luck.

Can't Edit or Add Custom APN Cellular Profiles - LineageOS 13

Hi All,
I'm running this LineageOS 13 image on my Motorola Droid 4 phone:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-4/development/cm13-0-marshmallow-unofficial-builds-t3270938
If I try to edit or add custom APN profiles, when I save my updated settings, nothing happens. If I'm editing an existing APN profile, the profile disappears after I've supposedly saved the updated settings, and if I add new APN profile, nothing happens when I save. No new entry is added to the list of APNs.
I did some research, but I couldn't find a solution.

https://android.stackexchange.com/q...int-name-settings-not-available-for-this-user
Anyone know what to do?

It looks like this happens due to invalid APN settings. From what I've learned online, it seems that the MCC and MNC vary by phone. Do NOT change these. If you enter invalid APN settings, the profile will not save or show up in your list.
In my case, the only APN settings you should change for Page Plus are the APN address (which for 4G LTE is tracfone.vzwentp), MMSC, and MMS Port. I still wasn't getting 4G LTE speeds after doing this, but after speaking to Page Plus support, they changed something on the back-end to enable 4G LTE, and I can confirm that I now get a 4G LTE connection as I should.
I think LineageOS should inform the user if the settings used are invalid. The UI doesn't make sense and is confusing.

I'm in the same boat with a Moto G4 and this drives me insane. I just want to edit my APN.

It actually looks like LineageOS won't let you add invalid or non-working APN entries. I would verify the information you've been given. The settings have most likely changed. Only valid APNs for your phone appear in the list, I discovered. Your entries might be saved, but they won't show up unless they're valid. That, or they're not saved at all even though it says they have been...
I wish they would let you know this as oppose to trying to add and save invalid APNs for hours...

My default APN doesn't match what my carrier's requierd APN settings.
But there is no way for me to modify the existing default APN entries and there is no way for me to create any new APN entry.
My Xiaomi Max 2 has been flashed with LineageOS 15.1 and stock GApps and everything is working great, except now I don't have mobile internet service because of wrong APN settings which I can't change.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Not receiving images via sms

I am able to text images to people and they get them with issues. If anybody sends me one it didn't come thru. There is a link that says download and I get a busy cursor and it never downloads. I have tried clearing the cache and clearing the data for the stock messages app. I have tried using Google messages and the same thing happens. Any ideas how to fix this?

Did you check your APN settings and make sure they are right?

Check the APN setting for your carrier, I've had same problem in the past and it was always a problem with the APN setting.

It was working fine until Friday. I will check the apn and see though

It was working fine until Friday and didn't make any apn changes. I just looked and the settings all are what they should be. Sorry for the double pay. My app didn't refresh properly

Are you using a custom DNS entry or some sort of DNS changer? This can and does on occasion break MMS capabilities. I have had this problem and by disabling the custom entry (or app) MMS returns to normal.
Did you do anything or make any changes to or with the phone at all prior to MMS not working?
You could also contact your provider and see if they have any seevice problems or issues. It is possible that there maybe a problem on the providers end.. either provisioning, account setting or something else.
They also may need to refresh the device on the network, sometimes when things like that happened to me this usually solved it.
Two other things you can try and/or check.
If your roaming or not. Depending on the provider and plan you might not be able to send mms while roaming. Either they do not offer data use while roaming, or else a data limit is in use (and you hit that limit).
Try resetting the network settings. On your phone it would be under settings > General Management > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will rest all the network settings back to default. Only draw back to this is any saved bluetooth devices and WIFI access points will be lost, so you will have to enter them in again.

I had an issue with mms once too and no matter what i did it wouldnt correct itself. Even factory reset. I changed the sim card to a new one and it worked. Dont know why but it worked. If you have an extra one try that.

I had the same exact issue! It started around Oct. 11th. I didn't even know that I was missing images from friends...they thought I was ignoring their texts. This problem was driving me nuts. I had been searching everywhere for answers and can't believe you described the same exact problem.
I'm on an Unlocked N10+ & I flashed the ATT firmware months ago and thought this might have something to do with it. I never owned an Unlocked phone before. Turns out that it was my own user error -->
I hadn't changed any of the APN settings. I was using Pulse SMS, tried Google Android Messages then the stock SMS app. No luck. I reset the network settings around 4 times. I thought this was the fix because it seemed to work for awhile but only with the stock messaging app. New images came in at first & I could only retrieve those older missing photos for the current day. The missing images were all listed as Unknown Caller. Later on in the day, I wasn't receiving images again...in any SMS app.
I was going to restore/reset my phone today but before that I started backing items up and checked my backed up SMS messages and the 2 recent ones said Oct. 31st!!!. WTH!?!
I then went into my Date/Time settings, I toggled the switch on and off again for the Automatic Date and Time. Re-selected my Time Zone and made sure that the Date and Time were accurate. They weren't...
I'm sure that this is where I screwed everything up because I had set my date (a couple of times in the past few weeks) ahead 5 days to see if I'd get the latest software/firmware update. I forgot to switch something back to my usual (and accurate) date & time setting which includes setting my time zone.
So far, this process seemed to work. I'm once again getting SMS/MMS images and videos within Pulse SMS.
