So I had to get a replacement Note 2 from T-mobile because my first one had messed up sensors or something. When I got the new one I wanted to backup and restore all my apps from the original.I used Odin to flash CF auto root and do a app and system backup. Then I rooted to the new one the same way and did a restore. I apparently didn't read enough about Titanium backup and restored everything including the system stuff.*Now my data doesn't work most of the time. Specifically when my phone says 4g, no matter how many bars, nothing has network access. I can make and receive calls and text messages although calls have been very spotty with reception. However if I have 4g LTE signal then everything works great. Can anyone suggest a fix? I flashed the stock rom again and reset APN settings to default, nothing is different. Side note, I was able to reset flash, unroot and return the old phone to T-mobile. Any help is greatly appreciated
Have you tried a factory reset?

I did do a factory reset after flashing the stock ROM. Both through the settings menu and by booting into recovery. No change.

Am I really the only one that has had this problem with titanium backup? I read a lot before rooting, but apparently not quite enough. Please, if anyone has any ideas or has had this problem, a little help would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to have to send back another phone espevially one that is otherwise perfect. Everything is great when im on wifi or LTE, but 4g gets me nothing. Thanks

I don't think that this video is related to my problem. I can make and receive calls and texts with 4g or lte. However I have no mobile data connection whenever I am connected with 4g. All apps report no connection. When I have lte signal all apps work with no problem. Also my imei number is not gone, it is in there correctly.

Just an idea here. ...
Do you have an Add Block app of any kind? If you do, try to turn it off and see if that is the problem.
I had one that blocked my data, but only on Wi Fi. It took me several days until I found the problem.
Good luck.
Hit my "THANKS" button! Come on, you can do it!
i had similar problem
my settings were set to LTE only in factory menu.
so i would get internet only if LTE signal was available.

Have never had an adblock app of any kind. I know for sure that the problem was caused by me restoring all system apps from titanium backup.

Have you tried flashing the radio?
You would have to flash a custom recovery (recommend TWRP)
I also had that problem on my Nexus 5 for a few days, I upgraded my ROM but forgot to flash the Radio again, and after flashing radio in custom recovery all was fixed, was strange because SuperSU carried over and it was just a delta (65mb) update, must of screwed the radio I guess. All is working now though.
#cjp420 did u find solution, i have same problem
I did not, but I never tried flashing the radio like the previous commenter said. That actually was an idea I had, but didn't try because I asked and people were adamant that I shouldn't do that.
Believe it or not I am still using the same phone still with the same problem. It's not a big deal because I set it to only connect to lte or gsm so it never connects to the regular 4g. Everywhere in and around austin that I tend to go has good lte reception so I don't really miss it. The only part the kind of sucks is that ot switches to E whenever make or receive a call because there is no voice over lte apparently.

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.

Sorry, never heard of solavei....
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.

I'm using Solavei just fine make sure you APNS are setup properly and that you save and select the apn to use. Dont just press back. You can download the solavei app to set up your phone if you still cant figure it out.

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.

What exactly is happening when you start tethering ?
Are you getting "error" or you can start tethering but no data is transfered from your device ?
My post solves the "error" problem as described here
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62516
Other posts here indicate that in some cases tethering won't work if you don't have a plan for it.
Anyhow there is a fix for this issue too. search the forum.

Depending on what I try I either get a screen that is forever asking me to "Please wait while starting..." or I get the error like wpsantennas where it tells me "Couldn't install file-data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/bin/tether!"
It will tell me my phone is in an "unknown state" if I try to stop and restart the tethering process.

Same problem here. Tethering worked fine before update, after updating to 4.3 experiencing same problems listed above.
From what I've read, a few of the custom roms, including some sense roms, seem to have the stock mobile hotspot working. Anyone know what was changed in those to get it working?

100% stock rooted, debloated.
Im trying to get the native tether with security check bypassed.. i found the code but of course when i debloated i dont have the files, so i got to wait 3 hours to dl the rom with the file ..ugh useing th previous rom files i can get it to launch and run, and show up but going into settings crashes settings
I'm stock rooted except running ObOne kernel. Didn't think the kernel was the problem but didn't run tether on 4.3 before flashing the new kernel. When I ran into the tether problems I wasn't debloated but since then I've dumped some stuff.
Based on the error messages it seems as if the app can't write to the directory but have no clue why. Tried OpenGarden and it had the same errors.

I decided to check out the sprint forums for the one, and the exact same thing happened to them when they got 4.3 . It seems it was hit or miss with the tether apps. and it seemed that a reasonable fix was to use native tether with security bypassed. The person who modded the one tether app that we are having problems with seems to be MIA

I'm in St. Martin (in the Caribbean) and can't get a GPS lock for the life of me. Obviously i'm on tmobile so i'm enjoying the free unlimited data and texting. I can pull up maps, they load fine. But i can't get a lock. Other people on the island have phones which get GPS and there are GPS units which function just fine. Some folks here from the US with iphones also get a lock. Am i missing a setting on my phone or something?

I'll give that a shot. I'm on the rom Hyperdrive KK. Will using that GPS fix interfere with the rom in anyway?
Also, I wouldn't have to return to stock or anything right? Just follow what it says from the dialer?

Try a T-mobile TW based rom if you haven't already. Conch Republic, Jedi Master, and Tweaked would all fit the bill. Did you get into the service menus or try to make the device only connect to LTE? Can you complete calls?
