[Solved] edge/gprs - Samsung Infuse 4G

When I first set up my Infuse (stock froyo), mobile internet (EDGE/GPRS...we don't have 3g/4g here yet) was working. Then I rooted and flashed CM7 on it. The net would still work. Then one day, it just freaking stopped working. No APNs were changed, no radio bands were touched...the carrier didn't change anything...it just stopped. I reverted it back to stock using GTG...and double confirmed the APN settings from the carrier. And it still won't work. Restart, flight mode...I've done it all. Many times over. I've tried different APNs from the net. Nothing works. I'm stumped. So is the carrier's tech support
Any idea?

Try changing ROM. Do a clean install, and do not restore any system data or apps.

I went through multiple cm7 builds...with complete formatting of /system and /data and /cache. Then odin'd 2 stock builds

Could it be a sim issue?

hmmm.... good idea... i'll try the sim in another phone to see if net works

Turned out to be a network issue. They did some backend fixing and resetting. I got the net back.

APN issue after flashing Bricked

I flashed the new Bricked kernel today and it messed up my APNs. I can't change the MCC and MNC values. If I try to the APN won't be saved.
I already superwiped and reflashed everything even with different kernels but the problem still exists. My phone shows it's roaming and I don't have data access.
Now there's even a carrier list that wasn't there at all before.
Someone suggested I should remove market access emulate on boot, but I don't know how to do it.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Try new the 3.33 universal Firmware.

No that does not help. I was on the 3.33 firmware and I even reverted back to 3.32 and an older radio to try my older setup and see if that fixes it.
I still have no data Phone still roaming
Now I even flashed an old stock GB rom with old Hboot and old radio.
For some reason the phone still thinks I'm using Vodafone...
I tried APN Backup & Restore. When I backup the APNs it saves a xml file with a lot of carriers in it. Way more than what the phone shows
in the system.It only shows the Vodafone ones. Heck, I even have a carrier named "My Dads Internet" which is also weird.
I really have no idea what to do now, should I get a new SIM card?
Please help!
Well... 2 days of trying to figure this out. No solution.
Maybe my SIM card thinks I'm outside the country. I guess I'll have to call my service provider and see if I need to get a new SIM.
:/
Wow this is terrible ! I've never heard of this happening! I would definitely call carrier and see if you need a new sim card or what can they do on their end to fix the issue, especially if none here knows a fix or responds. I just wanted to wish you the best and let you know I really hope your issue gets cleared up soon! Please let us know what happens and what the fix was ok. Good luck to you!!

Thanks, I just put the SIM card in a friend's phone. Same problem, so I'm glad to know the problem is with the SIM card and not the phone. That's definitely a relief.
I'm calling my carrier!
Just to close this thread in case anyone is suddenly having this problem, you either installed Market Access or Market Enabler or your SIM card is just not working correctly.
My problem was the SIM card, I got a new one from my carrier, everything is working again

Pretty sure I messed up my phone and I need some help with possibly fixing it

I followed the super guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709) to a T and got cm9 on my phone. I was having data issues last night so I downloaded that Phone Info app from the Play Store. I changed some settings to try to improve it. It switched my data over to roaming and I haven't been able to get it out of there. When my phone tries to activate, it tries to go through Metro. Anyone have any idea what this is all about or how to fix it?
I once got stuck on cdma through phone info.. it wouldnt stick to lte ...i had to flash the stock image in odin to fix it.

I'm having the same issue as you. was using CM9 for a while and I think I was messing around with some of the mobile network settings and it never quite worked well again. I used odin to flash to stock rom and nothing. new SIM from verizon store and still nothing.
haven't tried the phone info apk though.

Wifi won't work on ICS, only on HC - Help needed

Hello all I hope you can help me with this...
I'm having the strangest issue with my P6200L... Everything was working fine a couple of days ago... I was using latest CM9 by aorth here, browsing the web and everything when suddenly.... Wifi disconnected and never reconnected again...
The symptoms are:
- displays all available networks in range
- if I force to connect, all networks disappear and saved connections are "not in range"
- if I turn off/on again it displays all networks in range again, saved ones are "disabled", if I force connect it repeats the cycle.
I tried factory reset dozens of times. Didn't work.
I tried flashing CM9 again (with this and another patch I found on the thread (forgot where it is)) dozens of times. Didn't work.
I tried flashing official ICS (Open Austria) dozens of time. Didn't work.
Needless to say, I did data wipe/factory reset/format cache/clear dalvik twice between each flash.
And then I flashed stock Honeycomb. It worked. Wifi connected! All was fine!
Marvelous! Or so it seemed...
Now that I got it working again, I want to upgrade to ICS, so I flashed ICS Open Austria. Wifi stopped working.
"Ohh well", I thought, "let's try everything again"
Flashed stock Honeycomb again. Working.
Flashed CM9 + patch. Stopped working.
Flashed ICS Open Austria. Still not working.
Flashed stock Honeycomb yet again. Working.
Flashed ICS Open Austria. Not working.
Flashed stock Honeycomb. Working.
My conclusion: Wifi works only on stock 3.2.
Why? I have absolutely no idea whatsoever.
I've tried every possible combination of flashing and wiping data (except from stock ICS recovery, as I have one of those bad chips and I'm afraid of the brick bug)
Is there anything else left to try? Maybe copying some system files over from stock Honeycomb to an ICS firmware?
I'm really getting desperate here and I've run out of options. I'm hoping the community here on XDA helps me solve this mystery.
It is similiar to this bug here, but although the user there fixed it by several wipes/flashes, apparently I'm not having the same luck.

Wifi networks keep dissapearing when I try to connect. I have tried in 3 different routers with different encryption settings, so I'm sure this is not on my end.
Could be that you flash and incorrect firmware, maybe for the p6210 tab?
Sorry, I'm just guessing , I don't know what could be the problem.

No problem about that, we're all guessing
But no, I'm sure it's for the P6200 because it worked the first time I flashed. If it was for the P6210 my tab wouldn't even boot, partition layout is different...
I'm having this kind of issue aswell. Wifi is doin' fine with HC 'til flashed it to ICS. Damn, I really hope someone could help us regards with this issue. I also tried Wifi fixer, it helps but not that enough. 'Cause it connects me to my wifi but after a minute or two. It'll disconnect and reconnect. This is happening again and again. And it's kinda annoying when watching video on youtube or surfing the net. Well, just sharing my issue.
Yeah, I know how it's like... I reverted back to ICS while there isn't a fix... It's weird because it also happens on official ICS from Samsung, which it shouldn't
guys, I had the identical problem with wifi on ics. I returned to the hc and wifi worked. Then again the ics and did not work. Wipe cache, Dalvik, data, everything I tried several times and no results . Then I installed wifi fixer and it was a little better, over *# 94 349 # tablet began work with the occasional stop. a couple of times I rebooted it. and after one reboot started to work normally. I know that I m not helped, but it is my experience.

Are you talking about this app? I've tried that, but the only thing it did was to keep disabling/enabling the wifi... Several reboots later, same results... I'm glad it worked for you, but so far I'm not in luck

OK, I got some progress.... But it's still bad, keeps disconnecting... Here's what I've done...
I flashed CM9 with wifi patch and tried the app above. Restarted, no luck. Still didn't work.
I removed my SIM card, restarted in CM9, and Wifi worked! If I put it back in, wifi stops working.
I tried changing country codes with the app above, lost 3G SIM card connectivity. No wifi and no 3G, I though I f***ed up everything.
ODINed back to stock Honeycomb. Got a "no SIM card" error. But wifi worked.
Restarted several times, tried changing country codes several times, still got the "no SIM card" error.
After several attempts by removing/inserting the SIM card and restarting I got it working, finally.
Tried flashing ICS Open Austria. Both Wifi and 3G works!!! However wifi keeps disconnecting every 40 seconds or so.
Tried Wifi Fixer from Market, but all it does is monitor when wifi disconnects and then resets it. It connects again, but 40 seconds later it disconnects again, thus repeating the cycle.
It's still not usable, but it is some progress. I'm afraid to factory reset in official ICS because of brick bug, but I'm willing to do some more steps if anyone got some more ideas
THANK YOU very much for your response petrenj! We're getting somewhere here! :good:

Unfortunately I'm experiencing the same problem as yours. I have 3 tabs and all of them exhibits the problem in ICS. Wifi seems a lot more stable in honeycomb. I already tried xxlpl and xxlpn with/without wifi fix from aorths cm9. I'm also experiencing force reboots when I disable and enable wifi for sometime.

How odd... It's weird that some people have this issue while others don't... Also, I'm beggining to wonder if this is something that aorth or other dev can fix, seeing as it affects several different devices with ICS, and not only our tab. I don't think it's a hardware problem, because wifi works in Honeycomb...
So far, if we want to use wifi in our tabs we must remove the SIM card or just stick with Honeycomb... I've stopped using my tab for a while due to the constant data wipes/flashes and dedicated it to try to fix this issue... I really don't want to restore all my apps twice a day while switching between ICS and HC versions
Are there any P6210 users reading this? If yes, are you able to use wifi in your tab? As the P6210 doesn't have a slot for a SIM card, this shouldn't affect you, right?
Anyway, let's wait for aorth to be back from his trip and introduce this thread to him. He should be able to clarify something to us.

No Service with Valid SIM

Got my Nexus 5 on Friday, put my SIM in it and everything worked like a charm. Went through the weekend happy with how good everything was.
Yesterday, I was getting poor signal (connection errors when on LTE). So I decided to try a reboot. I did that and the phone came back with no service. I checked the APN, no issues. I swapped my SIM into my old phone, LTE working fine. I called my phone company (Rogers) and they checked the SIM, reset the network and I reset the phone. No Service (no anything).
I called Google support and their systems were down, so they recommended a Factory Data Reset. I did that - twice, still no service.
Any ideas? I'm guessing I'll have to send this phone in for replacement.

Nope. My wife's SIM also didn't work. Odd that everything worked fine at first.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and select phone -> change the drop down box to LTE only and see if data works. Make sure to change to back to something relevant if you want voice/text afterwards (like WCDMA preferred). Sounds like its not set to use LTE anymore.
It's not just LTE, it's all service including basic phone calls. Already shipped back to Google.
go to your carrier and get a new sim card , the one you have has become defective. Your carrier should not charge you anything for a new sim card , if they do maybe 5-10 $
Are you on a 3G only plan? The way many carriers (most of them outside the US, known problem on some carriers in Japan, France and the UK) are provisioning their SIMs, if there is an LTE network on the carrier and the SIM is provisioned as a 3G-only plan, a Nexus 5 will not register to the network at all. There is no workaround to this at present other than to change your plan to something that is LTE enabled.
Rebooted my phone tonight, when it was up again no service. It only says "Searching for Service" I already tested several SIMs and took a look into the sim tray but all pins are still there.
I then relocked the bootloader, unlocked it again and flashed the original images aswell as the radio but nothing works
UPDATE: I managed to get my reception back. I flashed the radio again had no reception, then flashed twrp and wiped data, cache and dalvik cache.

APN disappear; Status 7 tying to flash 10.2

Hi All.
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Relay 4G using PhilZ Touch 6 recovery and cm-11-20140518-NIGHTLY-apexqtmo. I have an AT&T sim card and when I try to input APN settings for AT&T nothing saves. I've tried everything including 5 ROM's, all running KitKat emulations. I read that Android 4.0+ will not allow you to change APN settings, but is there some workaround. I've also discovered it disables APN apps from accessing APN settings.
I've also tried to flash 10.2 but I get Status 7 errors every time I try. I've followed instructions on removing access commands from the updater-script file and re-zipping, but it also aborts.
I've called *#*#4636#*#* and it doesn't look like the phone sees the SIM card, but maybe that's due to the APN settings? It won't even call let alone send/receive data. I've tried 2 different AT&T SIM cards with the same result.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Actually it turns out I couldn't see the IMEI number either, so I returned to stock ROM and could then see the IMEI. I then flashed CWM 6.0.1.2 and CM 10.2 and was able to then set the APN. I'm still having trouble getting phone and data connection over the cell, but at least it now shows some bars. Thanks for replying, though.
My connection issue was a problem with the SIM. It's all working properly now.
