can't use mobile internet

hi, when i started my phone today i noticed that i diden't had any internet connection, and i did try to reboot it and shutdown 3 and start it up again but it dosen't work, and i don't see any internet connection in the status bar only connection for calls :S

Two things.
First off all, check that you haven't disabled mobile internet. On a Sense ROM you can do this via the Power menu, or via a widget.
Assuming it is enabled, check your APN settings are correct.

I cant get any reception at all... I have lost all receptioon .. on my Orange UK phone .... I'm in south wales.. normally it's fine here

Same here a couple of days ago. I just went into the menu wireless & networks, use mobile network when WiFi not available. For some reason this had been unchecked, not by me though - checked the box & happily carried on.

Yes - there's you problem. You should have an active APN here.
Press Menu then "New APN" and add in the APN details for your carrier.

[Q] how to set SIII to only use 2G

Hi all, I just got my SIII and it is badass! but i am wondering if there is a way to set this phone so that it will only use 2G network so I can save some battery. Every other android phone had this option, so when i went to go look for it on this SIII, its not even there. any answers will be great! thanks

I'm assuming you have T-Mobile? If so download an app called "phone info". Open it and go to Device Information. On the bottom there's a dropdown currently on "GSM auto". Select GSM only instead. If you want 4g only the select WCDMA only. Back out of the app. You can accomplish the same by dialing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer.

[Q] Roaming

Is there any way to force roaming without root?

I haven't found a way to force roaming with root, let alone without. Not even manually update the prl.. I miss my evo3d with corporate prl and roam control

Yeah is there any way we can? I definitely need that in one location
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2

With root roam control should work. It will only be 1x until we can load a corporate prl though.

The website said LG phones aren't supported though?

Do you guys think we can use this method on our LGOG also?

This is my first lg.. didn't know that.

I'm not savvy enough to try it but someday perhaps. As of now I think if we just request it from the roam control developers they may try

Any ideas? I've even tried Roam Control (root), but it doesn't work. I've also tried using the Optimus S (LS670) hack, but no dice either,
Update: Also tried looking at the Hidden Menu from here, nothing that jumps out as far as roaming.

So I think I stumbled onto something, thanks to this 2010 page. I found this because I was getting tired of getting no signal while my coworker (Verizon) had 3 bars at a conference room.
By following the steps below, you acknowledge that you do this at your own risk, don't abuse or Sprint may get mad, YMMV, all your base, etc...
To try to force roam
1. Go into the hidden menu by "dialing" 3845#*970# (from this thread)
2. Scroll all the way to the bottom, go to "IOT Hidden Menu"
3. "CDMA Setting" -> "CDMA Preference"
4. Under "Band Setting", choose "Cell Only". From the initial link (July 2010):
this forces only 800mhz CDMA, which is typically NOT Sprint, though if you are in a rare area where Sprint has 800mhz, it will lock you onto the 800mhz band, which can traverse better than the 1900mhz PCS band. In most areas you will notice it switch to roaming.

To change it back to the original settings,
1. Go into the hidden menu by "dialing" 3845#*970# (from this thread)
2. Scroll all the way to the bottom, go to "IOT Hidden Menu"
3. "CDMA Setting" -> "CDMA Preference"
4. Under "Band Setting", choose "Any" (default value).

How to switch 3G Only

How I can switch my Fire Phone to 3G Only Band? Some App or somthing? Who help? :what:

Go to the dialer, enter *#*#4636#*#* and tap "Phone Information". On the next screen, you can select 'WCDMA preferred' from the drop-down menu. However, I'm not sure if the phone will automatically reset itself back after a restart or whatnot.

Yes. I discovery that. Its simple and easy. Now for me, a very good phone.

Is there anyway to turn off 3G ? for use 2G GSM only mode , I want to use EDGE option since my area has the weak 3G signal.

You follow the same steps I gave in my previous post. Instead of selecting WCDMA preferred, you select GSM only in the drop-down menu.

Thank you it works great without reset the phone.

And easier and lazier way is to install the app "Phone testing", it is the shortcut to the same menu. On Motorola phone the app is required because that dialer combination doesn't work.

Volte not working

I noticed my Volte provision shows to Turn On - but I have tried several times with no luck and I had it on my other device and usually no problem to turn it on or off on those devices.
If someone doesn't mind can you go into Radio Info. Unless you have a code# to type in, I use the app Hidden Android Settings. Download it and scroll down and go in
Radio Info and it's at bottom and see if yours say
Turn on Volte Provisioned Flag or is it on like it's supposed to be Thanks ahead of time.

HD Voice(VZW term for VOLTE) is on by default on the Verizon Note 7.

Oh ok so the button in hidden settings doesn't matter, whew i'm glad, I was begining to worry that my volte button and device was giving problems. Thanks

easy way to check is just call someone and see if the HD voice text is shown on your dial screen.

It's not

Call someone who also has VoLTE or hd voice. It should show up. If not check under settings, advanced calling features.
Maybe it's turned off on yours.

I called wife, she also has it. No luck on my end. I have it selected in settings.
But to me it would seem like if it's selected then the volte provision should also be On under hidden menu, wouldn't you.

The *#*#4636#*#* doesn't seem to bring up the hidden options menu. I am not sure how you access the hidden menu on this phone.

app Hidden Android Settings from playstore then I opened it and went into Radio Info

If your rooted you need to enable hidden menus by editing the file below
/efs/carrier/HiddenMenu
there is only 1 entry - OFF, change this to on.
Even after doing this the code mentioned does nothing.
