When I turn on my tp2 why does it always tell me data connection error. Click the settings link to set it up? I do not have any use for it and I always have to disable itinerary comm manager even though I already disable it. This drives me mad! I bleeping hate this.
Create a duplicate of the connection. i had this problem when i was using the wmwifi program and it somehow messed my connection up. i waqs on the phone with the verizon techs and they couldnt figure it out...of course i didnt tell them i was tethering bcuz i didnt wanna draw attention to my account. they had me do a hard reset to fix it...which it did but it wasnt needed....so
Go to Settings
Connection(Tab)
Add New Modem Connection
Enter A Name: you can put anything here but i guess "Verizon" would be proper
Select a Modem: Cellular Line , click (next)
Enter #777 for the number to be dialed
User Name: Your phone [email protected] Ex. [email protected]
Password: vzw
(finish)
set your phone to operate through that connection, hopefully that works for you
I want data connection off. I am so sick of it.
if you want it off i guess u can delete all your connections and it will prevent u from connecting. since the phone is programmed to operate on a connection you might always get a little ''eroor connection'' message i would guess
Go to Settings
Connection(Tab)
Manage Existing Connections
This was display all ur connections, tap and hold the connection and go to delete and that should do what your asking for...if you have no settings to connect with then your data connection shouldnt work(in theory it sounds right) its just something ive never did
You could try just programming the phone thru verizon (fixed my data error also), by dialing *228
...then pick option 2 and wait, it should fix up your data connection stuff
I currently have a PPC 6800 origionally with Alltel and now Verizon. I want to upgrade to the TP2. A person at the Verizon store told me that I have to have a data package or the phone will not work at all. I am not interested in a data package and use the phone for the WM applications and sync with Outlook. Right now I just have a voice and text package for my 6800 and I just want to keep it that way. Are they blowing smoke up my skirt or is that the real skinny?
I got the same line from the Alltel people when I bought the 6800 and it took 3 trips to the store and countless phone calls to support before they figured that out!
I don't have a WP7 device yet, but I am considering getting one. I am looking to disable all data (over the network) before actually starting to use the phone.
- Specifically, I was wondering how the network/connection settings were configured on a STOCK WP7 phone (in comparison to, say, WM6.5). The reason I want to know this is because I want to disable data (over the network) at all times... and I want to do this prior to actually using the phone (with my SIM card in it).
In WM6.5 (and earlier), the network/connection settings allowed you to create a "dummy" network that the phone would connect to (instead of allowing the automatic connection to the data network). All you had to do was tell the phone to connect to a network that didn't exist (so that it wouldn't ever connect to the data network)... thus, no data would ever be used because the phone would never connect to a data network.
Do the WP7 network/connection settings allow you to do something like that? And, are you able to access these settings before putting a SIM card in the phone?
- Also, I have seen a few threads mention that there is a button/option that disables network data... if so, does this actually work? As in, does it completely shut off access to the data network?
Obviously, I would prefer to create the "dummy" network if possible, because I know that it will NEVER connect (I used this method on a Touch Pro 2; it would also say the network was "offline" whenever I accidentally tried to use the internet or something without the WIFI being on; this is exactly what I want).
Thank you for your help. Like I said, I don't have a WP7 device yet (which is why I'm asking these questions)... but I hope to get one soon if the data connection can be disabled.
Menu>Settings>Mobile network>Transmission data (or Data transmission, I have Polish language and I don't know how that called in English ROM) - off.
^ Thank you for that... so that confirms that there is a button/option to turn the data off.
But, I am still wondering if there is a way to create a network that the phone will never connect to... in WM6.5, you could choose whether the phone connected to the "Internet", "Work", etc. Basically, you would just change the settings in the "Work" connection to be something that would never connect (a "dummy" network), set the "Work" as the default, and then you were set.
Is this possible with a standard/stock WP7 phone?
No
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
it started 2 days ago. my mobile data is not working, although my signal is OK (i can make calls or send sms, but I cannot open any website, whatsapp,... unless I am using WiFi).
I have reseted the phone, factory reset, hard reset. Switch it off and on several times. Remove and put again the sim card.
My Company is 3 UK, and it seems to work perfectly ok. Asking some friends with this company, it works for them.
Nothing happened to the phone these last days which made it to stop working. I don't really know when it started because I mostly use WiFi all time, but I realised definitive yesterday it was not working.
on status it says network 3, but then says mobile network type unknown, voice in service / data out of service, mobile network state unknown, my phone number unknown.
although as said, I can perfectly call and so.
the phone is not rooted, I am using everything as it came by default, updated to 4.4.4 it was a network free phone bought in Tesco
Hi all. I just bought a S10e (G970U, Snapdragon) from China in order to use it in Spain, with Orange as a carrier. Once I set it up, everything worked fine for about 20 seconds. After that, the mobile data locked down. When I try to turn it up again the device says: "Security policy prevents use of mobile data". I tried to factory reset it several times, try different google accounts, try different SIMs, erase the data from some SIM- and network-related apps, but nothing changes. I guess that this has something to do with Samsung Knox.
What should I do? Is recommendable to contact Samsung support? Can I flash another firmware/ROM that fix this issue? Thanks a lot, any help is appreciated.
PS: Calls and SMS are also locked.

Hi. Thanks a lot for your help! I tried it and nothing changed. Indeed, the security policies were already updated out of the box...
I had the same problem. I had a signal but could not send/receive SMS or calls. After talking with carrier tech support and Samsung, I went to a UbreakIfix store, where they told me the 10e phones have a problem with the antenna on the motherboard. They said I needed to send the phone back to Samsung to get the mobo replaced. I just sent it back to the seller and bought an S20.
Also on S10+
I'm having the same problem on my GM-975U1 S10+. Basically mobile data and texting works long enough to authenticate into the Samsung account during setup, but once the android home screen appears after finishing the setup I can't place any calls and trying to enable mobile data gives a "Security policy prevents use of mobile data" error when attempting to enable it. Neither AT&T or Samsung have given instructions on how this can be fixed. It's behaving similarly to if the phone's IMEI were on a blacklist, but I get immediately shut out once the setup process completes.

have you found any solution yet I am having same issue with my samsung s10e and I don't even understand what app or policy is preventing me from making calls. BTW I am using clean esn phone. As soon as I pass the setup screen LTE signal goes away and it stops working.

I haven't found one yet either. Apparently the phone I purchased is locked to Tracphone after paying for an IMEI lookup (got scammed by an ebay seller who said it was the unlocked model), and the phone isn't able to do calls/mobile data properly except during the initial setup. Tried with SIM cards from two different US providers that both aren't working on it, and can connect to wifi just fine. Can see in the phone information test menu by dialing *#*#4636#*#* that my sim is being recognized, shows my phone number and IMSI, can switch between network types and see the cell towers it connects to; but isn't able to send/receive calls or mobile data. It fails the Ping test with 'Fail(2)' and HTTP Client Test with 'Fail: IOException'.
It's also showing that the phone receives a call inside of the Service Mode menu by dialing *#197328640# and going to '[1] BASIC INFORMATION'. Placing a call from another phone shows that my S10+ is picking up LTE bands and has some RF parameters that change when my number is being dialed, but don't get the option to pick up the call. It's also able to detect that I have a voicemail but am not able to dial in and listen to it. The Tx Pwr says '-- dBm' so I ultimately can't tell if it's a software or a hardware problem.

I am facing the same exact issue my sim number it shows inside the phone and signal I am getting is in negative dbm also my sim receives calls during the initial setup and as soon as the setup completes the LTE network goes away call gives error " call not sent". I am irritated by this now and there is no root available for this model so I cannot flash any custom rom to check. I have seen many people have same issue but no solution yet.
If your phone locked to a particular network, ie TracFone,AT&T, TMobile, Cricket, etc, then that is only network it will work on. Doesn't matter what custom ROM you use. You will need to get the network unlock code either from the network it's locked to or from a reputable online unlock site. Good luck getting it unlocked.

my device is already unlocked. It is not an unlocked phone issue. This is some stupid policy which is preventing from making calls or using data. Maybe this policy is saved in EFS don't know.

That's strange, it's acting exactly like a network locked device. When you say it's unlocked, are referring to the bootloader or network? Did you buy it new, unlocked from a reputable dealer? Check the firmware and make sure it is unlocked. There are other thread here with the same issue and message, those are all network locked phones.

I don't know I bought it from mercari that seller told me it is tmobile unlocked, but while checking I found the model number is G970U1. csc is XAA and binary U4. Bootloader is locked. Networks seems to be unlocked as when I put it my sim card it works till initial setup screen and then stops working. I searched it maybe locked to Consumercellular but is there any way I can unlock it ? I didn't find anything online.
Sounds like the seller lied to you.
Is there any way to unlock CC device ? I am on Binary u4. I am able to flash both g970u and g970u1 firmware but no success.

My S10+ model G975U is network unlocked, with the bootloader locked. I bought a network unlock code, but am getting the same behavior where the intial setup allows me to sign into my Samsung account when putting in both an ATT and T-Mobile sim card. I've also tried reflashing it with several different firmwares both carrier locked and unlocked, but this phone has been sitting in my drawer for the past month since it's unusable. Probably will end up trading it in since I was scammed by the random ebay seller I bought this from.

I'm having the exact same issue. Bought s10+ off ebay for 200 locked to consumer cellular. Bought an unlock code. It said unlock successful. Now get this error with any sim. It will show lte during initial setup only.
It will show that it's at&t or verizon when I put the sim in and populate the proper apn settings.
Before the unlock I would get the sim not provisioned error.
I did have to look up the dial code to make the unlock code window appear.
Now i can't actually use any service and i get the security policy error.
Finally was able to find the xaa firmware which seems to be the exact firmware on it.
Then lash that as no other u1 firmware would flash.

I'm from the Philippines and my niece phone is network lock ( Smart Telecom ) I can use the sim 2 slot since it's a dual sim using another network Simcard, unfortunately, it won't allow me to use mobile data so I tried unlocking it *#272*IMEI FROM SIM 1 SLOT# so I choose GLB for globe network or XTC to openline so here's what happens, it got reset so upon set up yeah other sim works have data but when finish setting up everything I can use data again on other network and a message pop up
Security policy prevents use of mobile data
so I guess even it allows other network Simcard on network lock phone it needs to be unlocked by the network where it was lock
Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem?
I'm having the exact same problem with a new samsung s10e I just bought. Security policy prevents use of mobile data, and no calls or sms will go through. LTE shows on setup, but disappears as soon as setup is complete.
I initially assumed the phone was locked, but the seller is reputable and insists it is unlocked. It's also a U1 model, and an IMEI lookup appears to show that it's unlocked. In connection settings under mobile networks, i'm also able to select multiple carriers, so I'm inclined to believe that the device really is unlocked.
Anybody here ever manage to solve this problem, or am I SOL? I would hate to be out 200 bucks on this phone since i'm past the return window.
I am having same isuue with samsung not S20 ultra (SM-N986U1) I bought the mobile and its unlocked the seller send to me photo for the check screen and its open USA but can not use mobile data and make any calls when a make a call the call ended and give me screen call not sent

Yes, there is a solution, but only from an experienced professional 3rd party business, which means there's no free solution
