Hi All,
I just got to Finland, where I should have 3G network coverage, and unlimited texting. But whenever I go to access the internet on my 3G network, it shows that there is no data connection, and when I go to send a text, it says could not send with T-Mobile. I know that I should be able to text and such because last year, it worked perfectly fine, the indicator was that when I arrived and turned on data roaming, T-Mobile sent me a text saying, "Welcome to Finland!" and that sort of stuff, but this year, I didn't get it.
If you guys have any ideas on how to fix this issue, please let me know!
Thanks,
--Adoah
Need to set the apn?

I seem to be having some problem with my HSDPA connection on my desire. I'm wih Three UK and I can't tell is it is my network on the phone.
What happened is for some reason it just wont work anywhere I go. For the first few weeks its worked fine and then towards the end of last month they sent me texts saying they would cut my internet off if I carry on using it but I can't see that having anything to do with it as it is a new month.
The phone is rooted and I've flash the new DeFrOsT Rom (2.0a) and it started working again but then when I logged into the Facebook app it stopped working and went to R (also the wholetime I'm connected to a wifi and when I disconnect from wifi I still get the no connection).
I tried uninstalling Facebook and logging out and no luck
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this or it is happening to them or you know a fix.
I also attached some screenshots of the message I get, I can't actually read the full message as it cuts it off and then when you select it, it just takes you to the homepage.
the R is for roaming
how is the signal strength where you're located?
go into settings -> wireless and networks ->
tell me what roaming settings you have enabled
untick the box to allow data roaming
data roaming will take place when the signal strength is very low and you are therefore using other carrier's networks (this might also incur high data costs!)
Data roaming is disabled and the signal in my area is usually quite good. Also when I go into a city around here or anywhere nothing changes it still sticks on R.
Plus before I started to flash it with roms and rooted it, it would nearly always have HSDPA connection.
so although data roaming is disabled your phone is roaming...
can i ask why it is that 3 told you that they will disable your internet? this seems to be the main problem...
have you tried flashing a different radio?
this will definitely have some change
They sent a text I was reaching/reached my data allowance for the month (so called unlimited =/)
And yeah I've just flashed the new radio that is needed for defrost 2.0a however it did happen before I flashed it.
For some reason it has got proper signal and HSDPA for the time being and as far as I know I did nothing to make it any better.
Got a feeling it will go again but I'll keep you updated.
I'll have to ring three up tomorrow if I can't get it sorted as I'm going on holiday and I'll be screwed with out it,
sounds to me like you have a data cap where if you exceed a certain limit your internet is stopped.
the fact that you are in roaming makes me think that it is a trick so that 3 can charge you large amounts so be careful.
glad the radio update worked for you
let us know if the problem persists
although there's not much we can do unless we know it's been sorted with your provider.
Thanks for the help.
The thing I don't get is the roaming bit as when it says I'm roaming I can make calls and text fine and there is no charge or anything on my bill it just uses normal minutes
honestly it sounds to me like a problem with your provider
does it still say roaming with the new radio?
if it does then phone your provider because they can charge you a large amount for roaming
Three only run a 3G network in the UK. To provide coverage and data connectivity (mainly EDGE) in the areas between their masts they partner with Orange. Your Desire will roam onto the Orange (and possibly now T-Mobile since they merged on Monday) network when it has a weak or no 3G signal. To allow data in these circumstances you must have data when roaming enabled.
There is no additional charge for 3 customers to use data roaming while in the UK. It is part of your monthly bundle. However, please remember to turn data roaming back off when you travel abroad or it'll cost you a fortune!

+1 for the above, roaming is all well and good but of you leave it on when your on holiday youll definately remember it!

Thanks I didn't realise I could use data roaming as when I clicked to enable it it said I may be charged so I didn't bother but now I will as I wont get charged
I was just about to say that the original problem had gone but it's decided to happen again just as I tried to log into ebay and download something from the market. However I think it has started to use data roaming as there is now an R in the signal box but a G next to it where the H would be.
Think I'll be ringing them up today
When roaming (Which is most of the time at home) my phone fails to send text messages. It just keeps trying to resend and is unable to send. I have my Data Roaming enabled (Data Roam Guard/sound are disabled) and I have always on mobile data. Under the "Roaming" setting I have it set to Automatic.
Also, something I experienced while at the Grand Canyon this weekend (Which I had full bars that were roaming) I was unable to make phone calls or use any data. I was however able to receive phone calls. My friend with a Hero that is also on the Sprint network was able to use his phone just fine. (Text/Calls/Etc)
Is there anything I can do to try and fix this issue? I rarely have no signal my only problem is that I lose a lot of functionality when roaming and this should not be the case.
I tried calling Sprint about the issue and they weren't very helpful. I'm going to try again tomorrow.
Go to Settings>System updates and update your profile and PRL. See if that helps at all.
I've done both PRL and Profile a few times. It doesn't do a thing with regards to that. Handcent just continually tries to send a text and repeatedly fails till I exit roaming the text then sends.
So I have tried doing one of those PRL hacks to use a Verizon tower and when I do that I'll get reception on the verizon towers. The only thing is at that point I can't send or receive messages or make calls. It seems to be an internal setting somewhere on my account with sprint.
Been having an issue with my unlocked One X lately. Just this morning, my AT&T 3G data completely conked out and will not come back online. I can make phone calls and send texts, but MMS and data are broken. I've tried manually changing the APN settings, but nothing works. Any possible fixes someone knows that actually work?

Have you hit the soft cap on your data plan? If you've been throttled it might feel like you have no data. Are you in a non-HSPA+ market? If so, AT&T's continuing to upgrade the backhaul of their HSPA network so it might have nothing to do with your phone. Their working in my market and I lost data about a week ago. If you have another phone handy see if the SIM works in it. If it doesn't work there it's either your account, the SIM itself, or something to do with the network.
I've had my Samsung Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.2 ParanoidAndroid 3.60 on PagePlus for a good 2-3 months now, and I have been having problems with the phone since the start. One of the main issues that I am having with the phone is slow messaging. I am able to send messages at normal speeds (not MMS, MMS takes forever to send/will not send at all), but when I am receiving messages, most of the time the I don't get it for about 4-60 minutes after they sent the message. Another problem that I have had recently (4/22/14) is that the phone switched to 4G LTE when it is on PagePlus, which is 3G. I don't know why it suddenly switched to 4G, I just changed by batteries and then when I powered it on it was just on 4G and I cannot use any of my data because it prompts me to "Sign into Network" and my network for PagePlus says T-CDMA 64. When I try to sign in or use my data it says that I cannot use mobile broadband and that I cannot activate my phone and it gives me a Verizon number. I've switched the network preferences from LTE/CDMA to CDMA/EvDo and it is on 3G now but it still prompts me to the same site when I try using my data. So yeah, basically my phone lags when it receives messages and I can't use my data because it switched to 4G. Anyone got any ideas?
Bump
I really need this fixed.
Hi, its my first post on the Z1C forum.
I just got one yesterday to replace my Nexus 5 and am accounting a few things I need help with since I am new to the xperia line of phones.
So my phone looks like this (for data) however I can't browse anything. I have mobile data enabled, national roaming and preferred network being 4G but nothing is working. With my Nexus 5 my data just worked so I am unsure why this is happening here. I can send texts and make calls just fine. Phone is on lolipop 5.0.2
The wifi signal in my room is terrible and its constantly dropping and when that happens I can't do anything with it.
I am on tesco mobile with a 2GB 4G plan.

Edit: So I looked around I went into mobile network and scanned, found tesco and registered. So I have 3G data now, but 4G isn't registering. Maybe I need to phone up Tesco and ask them.
Or maybe it's just not a 4G mast where you're connecting?
Is problem "no mobile data at all" or "no LTE connection" ?
Can you transfer data on 3G?
If so - check twice if your SIM card is LTE compatible.
I had to adjust the APN on my phone when I first got it as the one it autodetected wasnt correct. Try that out.
Hi so i just got a z1c and this happened to me. I could send and get text/calls even get notifications and updates. I called sony and t-mobile, nether could help me. Then i found a option under "more" in settings to update "Internet settings" find your server and hit ok. Try it out, i hope this helps.
In my case I needed to contact my carrier to enable 4G. Tried it?
Not sent by me.
settings.>>other>>>internet settings>>>download internet and mms settings...
this should do the trick...
Inconsistent Connection
I got my Z1C a few days ago and updated it to Lollipop yesterday. Ever since the update, the phone has been dropping data connection. I don't know what's the initial cause yet but as it stands, in order to get it working again I have to take out the SIM and reinsert it multiple times. I'm watching it carefully tho because it seems to happen whenever I start Candy Crush. Is there anybody else having this experience?
