[Q] Custom Rom for Galaxy S2 SkyRocket

Hi, I'm way in over my head here and sure could use some help!
I have Galaxy S2 SkyRocket i727, gingerbread 2.3.5 that I purchased off Ebay. Great phone unfortunitly my carrier dosen't sell or support this phone. They only carried a couple smart phone choices that really wasn't much of an option so I just took their free phone hoping I could just insert my Consumer Celluar Sim into the Galaxy. Everything works fine except, no 3G data connection. I have one of the "Connect" dataplans CC offers but am unable to set the correct APN setting on this phone.
The stock AT&T rom apn setting do not allow me to enter some of settings for CC like Proxy Push.
These are CC web apn configuration settings
Name: Web
Proxy Push: Enabled
Authentication Type: Secure
GPRS access point: att.mvno
Homepage: mmsc.cingular.com
I'm wondering if I root the phone and flash a custom rom would that allow me to enter the correct APN configuration settings? Is anyone aware of a custom rom out there that would do this or have any other solutions?
Leon

I think once you're rooted and flash a custom rom on, you'll be able to enter the APN's manually. I have the skyrocket and flashed DJ ICS Plus V2.0, wickid rom btw, and I'm using it on straight talk. It allowed me to put the APN's in manually while deleting the previous APN's already on the phone.

Thanks Pak, I'll give it a try and see what happens.

Custom Rom for Galaxy S2 SkyRocket
I flashed the new ROM DJ ICS Plus V2.0 but am still not seeing how I can change the APN setting to work with my carrier Consumer Cellular.
The carrier data setting need to be
Name: US - Consumer Cellular Web
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: Enabled
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
Authentication Type: PAP
APN Type: default, supl
In the S2 Access Point Setting there isn't a field to enter Protocol and no "supl" APN choice. Also if you don't include 310 in the MCC field and 410 in the MNC field you can't save the Access Point settings at all.

In regards to MMS Protocol, I'm assuming the rom has it already preloaded to WAP 2.0 or something since thats what I needed it to be anyways so I didnt have to enter anything. For APN type, I selected "internet" for my data and when I had another APN set up for my mms, I just selected "mms". In regards to MCC and MNC, you should be able to enter the 310 and 410. It shows up on mine.

Your right about WAP already being configured because email and other connections work. Messaging works too, just not data. I tried internet and internet & mms options for the APN Type but neither worked. I also tried inputing the server name of mmsc.cingular.com as suggested on their web site for non-Consumer Cellular phones but no luck with that either.
I had to leave 310 MCC and 410 MNC values in those fields because it would not save the Access Point if left blank or with any other values input.

the link below probably wont be much help but he had his proxy set up as proxy.mvno.ccmobileweb.com, maybe that will make a difference?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904249

I had seen this site before also, tried it but no luck either. I must be missing something altogether here. You wouldn't think this would be such a difficult problem to solve.

dude I don't know, I know you probably did this but did you put "http://mmsc.cingular.com" instead of "mmsc.cingular.com"? I dont know if the http in front will do anything.
These guys below say you can only get data using EDGE, not while 3G is turned on (mind you its an iphone). Maybe turn off your 3G and see if it picks it up?

Unlockit.co.nz was no help either?
http://www.unlockit.co.nz/mobilesettings/settings.php?id=179

Is your SIM card designed to handle 3G data connections? Not all SIMs are created equal, after all. Granted, you'd think that recently-made SIMs would support 3G, but you're not always going to be so lucky. I know this was a major issue once upon a time when 3G networks started to roll out more consistently and not everyone had a 3G-capable SIM.
In other words, has this SIM been able to talk to 3G networks before? Or is this the first phone you've put this SIM card in that has 3G?
If your SIM doesn't support 3G, ask your provider for a 3G-enabled replacement SIM.

[Q] lg g2x on straight talk

any ideas.

so if everything works, whats the problem?

the problem is no data . no internet

That would be a sim issue. You may need an unlock code to have access. Other wise check your vpns
Sent from the last drop of EaglesBlood: 4.0.4 G2x

Well alright, I just read phone works text work and so on... try putting in the apn's in??? I just googled this try looking more if it doesn't work for you. Other than that maybe SIM???
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...w-the-proper-APN-settings-for-Android-Devices

unlock code
I think the phone is unlocked. That is they way it was sold . Says t-mobile on it but when calling or txting displays att ( that is the nokia e71 sim ), and the the att.mvno that I entered .
How do I check if it is unlocked?

If its unlocked it should all work. http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html Try looking through here. US is almost all the way at the bottom. Not sure exactly what your using. Not sure if you need the sim carrier or the baseband carrier.
Edit: oh, and if you have access to the phone when you put your sim card in, you said your making calls and sending texts. Yeah, your phones unlocked. The internet thing though is a little weird.

straight talk g2x
It could be the way straighttalk connects to internet. The sim from E71 nokia works with I phones and straighttalk can't find any info why it wouldn't work with android. Thanks for your input.

Lg G2x on straighttalk setup that works
Here are the steps I used to get MMS working on Moto Backflip with Android 2.1
First download Apn Backup and Restore app from app store, and delete all existing APNs. Then manually enter APNs. In android you must have 2 apns setup for mms to work (at least in my case).
Here are my settings:
Name
HOME
APN
att.mvno
Leave everything else alone EXCEPT the bottom selection that says:
APN type (here you must enter the following)
default,supl
Then save, next choose to add another APN
make it look like this:
Name
MMS
APN
att.mvno
skip down to
MMSC
http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy
proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port
80
skip to:
APN type (enter the following)
mms
THEN SAVE
You will see that only one APN has the option to be chosen, that is ok, Just choose the one that is able to be chosen.
Now go back to Homescreen and then reboot your phone.
This works for me, hope it can help you. I tried a hundred different ways and this was it. Capitalization is important, and the APN type was the trick.
GOOD LUCK and let me know if it worked for you.
got it here: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...w-the-proper-APN-settings-for-Android-Devices
it works 2g where I am now but I am in

Did you get the data to work? I've been considering going to ST. I've had them before, and for a prepaid company, had really good experience with the service in my area. The same can't be said for Tmo

Lg G2x on straighttalk setup that works
yes it works. The configuration I used is posted a few days ago. The speed for connection shows 2g. Other than that it works well. I am looking for the code to get 3g now. If you read the code above you will see the words tracfone. That is a 2g network ( I think ). I think I have to change that.

Well it's all the same company. Not sure how they handle that. I wonder if it might have something to do with using the SIM you used, (which would make ST right when they said you need a new one.) In any case, I'll just be buying a SIM from them to use on my phone, so maybe it'll work out fine. Unfortunately, I'm still under contract at the moment, so it may be a little while longer.

Straight Talk works well on the default Tmobile ROM, but I just upgraded to Eagles Blood and the T-Mobile SIM settings do not work at all on Straight Talk (for MMS+Internet). Does anyone know of a fix?
These are my settings:
Name: Straight Talk
APN: wap.tracfone.com
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.tracfone.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260

[Q]No Data Connection After Update (Consumer Cellular)

I have an AT&T branded Galaxy SII i727 Skyrocket (4G LTE). It is not unlocked, has not been rooted and runs AT&T firmware. The phone was purchased independent of a contract (eBay). I am a very light user, but I find it convenient to have a data plan and initially used AT&T GoPhone prepaid. Phone and SMS worked properly on AT&T right away, but some tweaking was required to get data to work. After a few months, I switched to Consumer Cellular (AT&T MVNO). Again, data did not work at first, but CC's tech support gave me revised Access Point Name settings and all became as it should have been.
Recently (I don't remember exactly when, but it was in early or mid December), I finally gave in to the phone's insistence on updating to a later firmware version. From then on, I have been unable to get data to work at all. the 4G symbol no longer appears (although I doubt it was ever actually a 4G connection) and any App that requires a data connection (web, email, etc) complains about no connection. WiFi, on the other hand, works properly with all such Apps.
Here are the specifics of my phone:
Samsung SGH-I727
Android 4.04
Baseband Version I727UCLI3
Kernel Version:
3.0.8-1127534
[email protected]#1
SMPPREEMPT Thu Sep 27 23:12:45 KST 2012
2012​Build number IMM76D.UCLI3​
My questions are these:
Has anyone had this sort of problem (data on Consumer Cellular fails after upgrade)? If so, how did you solve it?
Was this problem caused by the upgrade? If not, what other issues might have caused it and how can they be corrected?
How can I revert the firmware to the previous version to confirm the cause and/or resolve it?
What else can I do to get my data connection back?
I am not particularly Android savvy, but I am not shy about making changes in settings and/or installing fixes.
Thanks,
Tenaya

Consumer Cellular APN settings for Skyrocket i727
I recently moved my service from AT&T to Consumer Cellular using my existing Samsung Skyrockets. The new phone signal is identical to that of the old as far as I can tell. (same towers) My issue came when trying to setup my text and data side of my Samsung Skyrocket. The settings provided by CC on their website are incomplete. Be prepared to speak with a 2nd level tech to accomplish all of the connections required on "their" end. Here are the APN settings that are working on my two i727's as of Jan 2014. Both are running 4.1.2
Name: Consumer Cellular
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: "66 . 209 . 11 . 32" (without spaces)
Port: 80
User name: Not set
Pasword: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http :// mmsc . cingular . com (without spaces)
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default,supl,mms,agps,fota
APN protocal: IPv4
Enable/disable APN: APN enabled (check)
Bearer: Unspecified

very helpful for my Skyrocket
Thanks for posting this. I had data working on my AT&T skyrocket, now used with Consumer Cellular, and then it stopped for no apparent reason. I had all the same settings as above, but on my phone the Authentication Type was unspecified or none. I changed it to PAP and now data is back. I don't know if I had never set this before, or if something changed it, but I'm glad it seems to be working again.

always when you format your phone, check the APN settings.
If it isn't configured you won't be able to surf.
happy to hear you fixed the issue.

good while it lasted -30 min

While changing that setting did bring the data connection back to life, it seems to have disappeared again. I'm not sure why. When I turn airplane mode on and then off, data doesn't reconnect. When I reboot the phone it seems to connect after maybe 15 minutes of trying. Could it be a bad sim card? Or maybe should I do a complete reset of the phone? I don't see anyone else reporting these sorts of symptoms, so maybe it is specific to my phone.

Another option for Consumer Cellular APN settings
I just got off the phone (third time in a week) with a tech support person at CC. They said they think they knew the problem. Because the AT&T SGH-I727 skyrocket is 4G LTE capable, a new APN should be set up:
Name: ccilte
APN: ccdata
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default,mms,supl
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
I asked a couple of times if they really should be backslashes for Server and MMSC, rather than forward slashes. They insisted they should be backslashes, which is what I put in, and it worked, and then I changed them to forward slashes (which seems more appropriate) and that works too. That was weird, since I'd expect one to fail. So now I seem to get a data connection (it has been almost a day and it hasn't dropped data service). I even went in and out of airplane mode, turned wifi on and off, and data came right back, which never happened before. Hopefully this may help someone else who made the bumpy transition to Consumer Cellular.

[Q] Slower network speeds on CM11? (AT&T)

I'm not sure which version of CM11 this began in or if it's even the cause but this is the only real major change I have on the phone. It was working fine before, but lately I've noticed LTE slowdowns to speeds like 60K and 130K. I used to get around 30Mbit and apps would just download so fast and I'd have no issues streaming YouTube videos. Before I waste my time contacting AT&T dealing with tier 1 support who knows less than I do about my phone I wanted to check with XDA.
I'm using AT&T GoPhone as my provider. Specifically the plan called "$45 monthly available at Walmart" https://www.paygonline.com/websc/rateplans.html (Note, you don't have to go to Walmart at all for this, I changed over to this plan form the $60 one when I noticed they added it to the list.)

I called and told them that the speeds are slow for downloading and streaming and they asked if I'd like to "add more megabytes to my phone". She was stuttering like crazy and having trouble completing her sentences. She was clearly reading from a guide and took long pauses between all her questions. This is why I hate speaking with providers .
She asked when it started happening and I said this month. Then she asked if it's also slow when I access websites on my phone. I explained that it isn't visually slow but that it wouldn't make sense for a mobile website to load slow. Then she asked how long it's been happening, "2 weeks?" I explained about the entire month. She asked if I have an LG phone then I said yes. She asked how many apps or games I download per day, I said less than one and she asked "how long will it took you to complete those downloads?". I explained it depends on file size. She said "it also depends on the details that say that certain application [unclear] megabyte [unclear] megabyte so it will be easier to do that. Mhm, there. so is there any error message any time you try to download applications?" I said no.
She asked for my zip code to check the outage in my area. She said thanks for letting them know I'm concerned with "my issues" and that they are "reporting a case here" and "providing information to their support". They added 50MB of data allowance to my phone plan. She kept going back and forth between adding $10 credit and adding 50MB of data, then she said 500MB of data for $10. Then she started calling it "megabits". I checked, they added 500MB.
She transferred me to tech support and I explained the situation. She asked me if the problem is that the speed is slow and when did this start happening, despite arleady providing this information. It's like they have some kind of form to fill out and they don't listen and just select things from dropdown boxes or something. After confirming my account she also asked if I'm on the $45 monthly plan, shouldn't they already know this? What a waste of time.. She asked what type of phone I have next then asked if it's AT&T branded. Then she read off the APN settings I should use (lol she said forward-slash forward-slash). She said APN type should be "default,mms,supl,hipri". She called Bearer "barrier" and I asked about APN roaming protocol and MVNO type and she said they don't have that. After changing the APN type the speeds were still slow.
She said she's going to refresh their connection with my phone and asked me to power it off, then a moment later to power it on. It was still slow so she asked for my city, state, and ZIP code. She said the towers in my area are definitely not the problem. By this time I noticed that the APN settings reverted, and I found there's an option I have to select to save the APN after changing it so I went and added that again, and informed her. Did another power cycle. No change. She asked if I recently downloaded keyboard or messenger apps and if there's any liquid or physical damage and how old my SIM card is. Next I was asked how often I update the software on the phone.
She said she's creating a case and the NOC will take care of it. She said she's going to credit my account and understands the frustration. She asked for the Android version and about what date I remember it last working properly. That was a 57 minute phone call that resolved nothing But I did it!
Let's get started?
EDIT: Saw you replied while I was on the phone, going to try that out now.

try adding those lines i posted to your build.prop, save, then reboot. let me know if theres a difference.

we can check if its cm.. make a nandroid backup in your recovery, then fully wipe and flash a stock or aosp rom. if the data speeds improve, then its cm. you can always restore your backup to get back to where you were in cm.

I know this is unrelated to your plan or helpful but reading that att has been accused of throttling back users download speeds for more expensive data plans
www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/28/att-slowing-speeds-data-throttling-ftc_n_6062360.html
As above you should try another rom/stock and see if speeds improve.

Interesting, the date makes this throttling idea very plausible. I made a backup, but before I got around to flashing any ROMs I took a nap and when I woke up I noticed I had no signal at all. Not 0/4 bars no signal, but no signal as in can't connect to the network. I tried toggling the connection and got nothing. I tried toggling airplane mode next, and still nothing. I reboot the phone and had signal again. I decided to do a speed test and the speeds are back to normal now.
(As I typed this I was watching that news video and that doesn't apply to me necessarily because it's contract-based. They were talking about "Unlimited Data" plans. I had the plan that allowed me 2GB per month (later 2.5GB) then switched to the 1GB allowance plan a couple months ago.)
Anyways here we go:

[Solved] To Straight Talk from Verizon APN

You can use your existing SIM, but I ran *228 on mine a while ago and wanted back to 4gLTE
I obtained a new SIM from Straight Talk for free
You can get the SIM on Wal-Mart.com for $5 (BYOD Kit)
I had them re-provision my phone
I ported my number
I had problems with everything after a while
I reflashed to Lollipop - Fresh Everything
It went back to the Straight Talk network after flashing (fresh not-dirty)
I can now text as well (not sure this ever stopped)
I called Straight Talk and got an APN from them since none of the APN I had was working
Within a minute of placing in the APN it was working

mcc = 311
mnc = 480

LTE now rocking like a champ
Just wanted to share my experience.

wow, it's too bad i called straight talk 70 times and they couldn't tell me this

New setting is
TRACFONE.VZWENTP

I've tried this and numerous other APNs on my LG G2 (VS980) but I've had no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions to try out? I've called ST a few times and have even tried a new SIM card to no avail. Still stuck with 3G

If your on straight talk do you have the right sim card? If it's a verizon device you need a specific CDMA sim card
Sent from my Nexus 6

Yes. Both cards that I've tried are cdma. When I switch my radio to GSM I get no signal. LTE only, no signal. And CDMA I get 3G. ST says that I have all my provisions and that the signal should switch on its own, but 3 weeks later, still no 4G

With straight talk all you need is the app to set the APN settings on most phones. As long as it's set it should work. I've had 3 phones now that work like a charm on straight talk

I've also tried the app and I think its only for GSM phones. I've also tried flashing different ROMs but that didn't work either. I'm running out of options for getting this phone to work. I'm almost starting to believe that they are doing this on purpose so that I spend money on a new phone. Lol.

Straight talk has a data settings app in the play store but most phones now automatically recognize the apn settings via the sim card

Just wanted to say this worked for my dad's LG Treasure (ugh.) Spent about an hour scouring the net and this is the thing that fixed it.
Thanks!
Edit- Also the ST Data app errored out when I pressed "Go." Useless.

I dont understand how the dumb ZTE phone i bought for $40 from walmart with a straight talk plan works AMAZING, gets 25mbps speeds, gets awesome signal. But the S4 i just bought the BYOD sim card for just refuses to get a good signal, gets slow speeds 1mbps to 5mbps, constanly loses its data. I dont know what to do. Im about to just go back to the phone that can only handle one app open at a time since its actaully worked. It would be nice to use navigation and listen to pandora though lol

data offline and no mms
My rooted Verizon GS5 with TF sim card is randomly losing data service (group mms is now working with textra). ST customer service provided an APN but the issue with data offline is recurring. I used BuildProp and APNchangeR apps to update APN settings (leave all other fields blank) steps:
1. Installed BuildProp, Edit code at bottom to add:
#Code:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
2. Save changes and Restart Phone
3. Open APNchangeR (Note: APN will disappear after saving but is there)
Name: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
APN: tfdata
4. Open BuildProp, edit to remove code, save, and restart.
From this post, it appears the settings provided by ST might be wrong and should be:
Name: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
APN: Info
MMSC: acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN Type: default,dun,supl
APN Protocol: 4 & 6 (local and roaming)
*After updating settings to above, is anyone still getting data offline or mms issues?

Missing a few things for the apns. I know with newer phones you don't even need to add the apn manually where as the sim card is automatically recognized. I can screenshot what is missing but I know if varies by device. My Nexus 5 was recognized by default as well as the N6 but the S3 needed to be input manually. My co worker has an S5 and it also needed to be input manually

Those are the APNs I've used on ST S3 for 2 years, no issues at all. What is missing? They are also the APNs I got from Tracfone/Straight Talk.
The N5 I got my wife and put on ST didn't need APNs set either, it did that by default from SIM.
