Get rid of the "Preparing Network" on start up - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have a Sprint Note 2 on Page Plus, every time I turn it on it says Preparing Network, and doesn't get the web. I KNOW it's the preparing network. Any help would be great!!!

My stock Sprint Note 2 does this on a regular basis. But I have no clue how to get data working on other networks. I just wanted to let you know that preparing network notification is normal on a perfectly good stock sprint note 2. It's annoying but it does it constantly everyday.

[Q] 3g gps not working htc tilt 2 with t-mobile

hello All,
I got a AT&T HTC touch pro 2 (tilt 2) from my friend who had got it unlocked from AT&T as he got upgraded to a new phone. I am using a t-mobile prepaid on the touch pro 2. I have got couple of issues with it.
1. The UI responds very slowly.
2. The data connection icon displays E. When I called up the t-mobile customer care they response varies a lot. One says i need to unlock the device from AT&T and others says i will be able to use only Edge as its not a device provided by t-mobile.
3. The GPS doesnt seem to work. When ever i used Bing. It says that its not able to connect.
I have a request is there any customisable rom that would help in over coming these issues.
Regards,
Mahesh
Same here, but other way round
I have a T-Mobile TouchPro 2 I've been using an AT&T SIM in, and I can tell you exactly what's up- The ROM is probably trying to refresh stuff in the background and it's not working because it's expecting an AT&T SIM. Try another ROM. As far as 3G, not gonna happen. T-Mobile's 3G runs on different bands than the AT&T 3G. The T-Mobile SIM wouldn't even start up the phone if it wasn't unlocked. And I think the GPS settings might be wrong, try fiddling around with the COM ports in Settings, but make sure you make a note of what they were before. I'd recommend a custom ROM, not to solve the problems you speak of necessarily, but it runs a lot faster, and won't have all the AT&T bloatware that's kinda useless to you. Oh, and if you don't have Connection Manager setting everything up for you in your ROM, make sure you set your APN.

[Q] Recurring error message!!!!!!!

I have a at&t phone (model i747) and have a tmobile sim card in it. I have terrible reception in my house and continue to get a message saying "searching for available networks" and it allows me to choose 'cancle' or 'ok'. If I click ok it takes me to the "available networks" page found in settings where i can click ' default setup' and allow it to scan for a network.
However, this message WONT GO AWAY if I don't have tmobile reception, and putting it into airplane mode doesn't make it stop either. Any suggestions? Would rooting the device and going to the tmobile mod help?

Can someone commiserate? Any suggestions? I've rooted my phone. Would installing another ROM help?
First make sure you have all the t-mobile APNs in the phone (settings->more->mobile networks->access point names). Google what the appropriate tmobile apns are and make sure you have the right one selected.
If no sauce after that, then you need to go to network operators and wait for it to complete searching (this may take a while and make sure you are on t-mobile)
Hopefully that helps

I have the correct APN settings. I just keep going out of range from tmobile reception whichi si why this prompt keeps coming up. I can't do anything without it popping up numerous times per minute. It is extremely frustrating.
Is there a tmobile ROM that I could load ? Right now I don't have wifi calling either as it is a paid feature on ATT. Any suggestions would be appreciated

[Q] Flash Phone No Data!

Hi, last night i flashed my sprint lg g2 stock/rooted phone to cricket using DFS, called up cricket and had them switch to the new flashed phone, and since i have not been able to get data 3g or even 1x on the phone.
I have flashed several phones and never encountered this problem, but this is my first LG phone, Rest were samsung and HTC
Texting and Calls work Great
It constantly lets me know "Mip 67" "Mip 111" and "Unable to Establish a wireless data connection" .
I have searched everywhere and although i can similar people with the problem, all are on sprint.
I have gone through DFS settings many times, reflashing, and nothing is seeming to work or stick
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated, an andorid phone without any internet might as well be a flip phone
Have you tried updating your profile while on WiFi?
A lot of ROMs for the g2 require this

update the data profile? i do click update when the mip error pops up, but it always fails..
ive done *228 multiple times, but doesnt get the 3g going
Are you connected to WiFi. I'm on sprint so I'm guessing. What band does cricket use?

yes, whether im connected to wifi or nothing it gives error.. this is normal with sprint optimized apps when on a flashed cricket phone though.. sprint connection optimizer wont work for all the right reasons... ok i made progress, got 3g, reflashed with simple ip only, no mobile ip. and i get 3g, but not consistant.. but its about progress not perfection! still open to help and advice to solidify this rocky connection
edit: anyone know how to edit the apn settings?? I go to settings and all, i can see yhe apn settings but cannot edit them... first time ever for me on that one

i wish it was that simple. He has a cricket sim card and somehow able to edit his apn settings.
on mine, its a sprint ls980, still has a sprint sim card in it..
update on whats ive notice over the day.. Itll randomly connect to '3g', but when you go to settings and status, its only really 1x.. mobile state is usually saying its 'connecting', once it does connect data drops out..
from what i believe, its still trying to connect to spring network for 3g, but will use cricket for 1x. might have something to do with the sim card, but i have popped it out to see what happens and it still as sketchy as before.

Ok, got all fixed,.
if you have cricket and are trying to use a ls980, forget using it on crickets cdma network.. go get a sim card from cricket for gsm, pop it in, some build.prop edits, and youre good to go.. pm me if anyone needs any help

Verizon NOTE 4 ON T-MOBILE NETWORK HELP! ASAP!

hey i recently bought a note 4 for verizon and used it on t-mobile.
now it worked and i changed the apn settings manually. except:
1.) The phone would lose signal really quick in certain places and have the circle with a line thru it and it would take few mins, sometimes even have to restart phone to get service back ( i am in a 4g lte service area and it works fine on other devices)
2.) when i was in a call, the option to be on the internet DID NOT WORK. it would say check network settings or something of that sort.
3.) sometimes during a call even with full signal bars, it would hang up and say 'sim not found'
is anyone else experiencing this problem(s) also, or was it just a faulty device?
please any feedback, or insight would be appreciated!
Has it been more than 24 hours activated? Although not a note but her iPhone went from Verizon to t-mobile and she was having issues with data for about 48 hours.
I don't think its just your device (unless we both have faulty devices). I am having the same issues with my Verizon Note 4 on T-mobile network. When I am on a call that requires a keypad entry, it doesn't recognize that I pressed a number (same for voicemail).
My phone also loses signal and 4g in certain place (I thought it was tmobile at first but I was at starbucks with two other friends who had tmobile..they had 4g lte and phone service just fine while my note 4 had neither.)
I was wondering if it was a note 4 issue but haven't found many forums that discussed these issues specifically for verizon note 4 to tmobile users. Please let me know if you are able to find a solution to this problem.

You are correct. I have a Verizon Note 4 that is having the same issues. I'm considering trading this for a T-Mobile note 4 but I don't know how to do that other than craigslist....too bad there is not another way....
