SMSC nr + data connection - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
after updating my nexus s to ICS recently, i developed an issue with the radio, not connecting to a data connection. after some research, i found a diffrent radio which might fix everything.
It didnt, it made everything worse. i cant send any sms's anymore from my nexus s, and still cant data connect. i've been researching since than, and found i should re-enter the smsc code in *#*#4636#*#*. i've searched my smsc code which appearantly was +32486000005, after converting this to PDU, i got 07912384060000F5 as final code which i should enter. after entering it in my nexus S, it gives an 'update error'. I've no idea what i should do now to fix both the data connection and the smsing.
Thanks in advance

What service provider are you using? What rom and kernel? What radio? More details makes things easier when trying to help you. I had a similar issue on my Nexus S. I'm at work now but when I get home I will flash my phone over to the same from, kernel, and radio you're running and see what's going on.

Hey atrix, thanks for the reply.
I got Mobile vikings (belguim)
Rom is currently the official ICS, but the same issue occured with GS, gingerbread CM7 and kangy's
Kernel =3.0.8-gb55e9ac
i used matrix's and SG's aswell, all failed.
radio is kli, tried with kb3, and a few others

Alrighty. Thanks for the background info. Ill load up in a bit here and get to testing. It may just be a bad combo of kernel/rom/radio.

I did a little digging myself quick while the from and stuff download. Slow internet here lol you run an mvno from Base there in Belgium. So you'll require the 850mHz band for GSM connection and wcdma 2100 band for your 3G. Now what were gonna have you do first is dial *#*#4363#*#* and let me know what it says right above radio. I'm going to start checking basebands to make sure they're 100% compatible with your MVNO.

Enable / disable radio? -> GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

Switch to wcdma only. Also do you have voice right now and just no data/SMS/MMS? Also under settings-wireless and network-network/mobile provider-APN/access point names what do you have set up in there?

i get a screen with APN's on top, and nothing on screen

Bloody hell. That's your problem. Create a new APN there with you're MVNO/ service providers settings. Ill see if I can dig em up for ya. However I don't know if it will for sure fix the SMS part of your problem. It may but I'm not sure

Awesome!!! And you're very welcome. Glad we saved another Android how bout your SMS? Now that you have data your SMSC should update too. Either way I'm glad we fixed ya up.

One piece of advice too. BACKUP YOUR EFS PARTITION!!! Ill see if I can dig up the thread and link it for you. It contains your IMEI AND SERIAL NUMBER and all that good stuff. You ever corrupt, lose, or erase that partition and you'll never get it back. That partition is unique to each individual handset.

I have the same problem. At the moment i'm using CM9 and can't change the smsc. I tried to follow the advise given by astrixboy but got to the point where i couldn't find where to create a new APN.
Anyone who knows where to find this?

I have been having problems with my mms since I first received my Nexus. MMS take 3 days to send and downloading mms gets stuck at downloading and never opens. I did some research and from what I understand it has something to do with your APN settings, try searching for the correct APN settings for your area and provider. APN settings can be found in ---> SETTINGS>WIRELESS&NETWORKS>MOBILE NETWORKS>
ACCESS POINT NAMES

Yea, I don't know if re-flashing the ROM would be of any use. Some people argue that MMS only work if you have a data plan with your provider, but I've read otherwise as well. I've also heard of Nexus users getting more up-to-date sim cards and that fixed their issues, maybe worth a try? You might want to give your provider a call and ask them for the correct APN settings or at least explain your problem to them and see if they offer any assistance.

No mobile data CM7 G2x using Cincinnati Bell

Is anyone making any progress on this issue? Any OTA based ROMs work perfectly. Any ROMs based on CM7 refuse to activate mobile data.
They also are unable to read the mobile number or the VM service center number from the SIM card. I think the two are related.

Did you set your apn and enable it? I'm sure you did but need to ask.
Yes, the APN is set (green dot) and mobile data is enabled. I've tried setting and then unsetting airplane mode to try to get mobile data going.
I've also tried getril to make sure the ril and baseband match. I've also dropped Stk.apk from the OTA rom into /system/app on CM7 to no effect.
This is both in the release version and 174 nightly.
I'm on T-Mobile and data works, but it's definitely not as stable as the factory based roms. I always thought it had something to do with not being able to read the sim card information too.
Data on CBW
Hi,
I had a similar problem. You have to both put in the correct APNs (search online - CBW support center gives out most of the values)
But you also need to go into *#*#4636#*#* (4635 spells 'info'). Select the phone information button and scroll down to "SMSC". You'll have to search online to see what the correct value is (it doesn't display it otherwise I would just read it off for you). Search for a website that gives it in hex values. Input that hex value and restart your phone. That should fix both data and SMS if I am not mistaken.
Hope that helps
Okay so here's the SMSC from my working ROM:
002B00310035003100330032003400300030003100340030
Going to give it a shot.

I run stock GB 2.3.3. rooted and I get data on all carriers in Thailand. I get 3/4G with TOT3G and Edge with AIS, DTAC and True.
You should have no problem getting data by simply entering the correct apn. Also on Cincinnati Bell bell you should be getting 3G+ data.
Maybe I didn't say it clearly enough. I get working data including 4g on any ROM based on the 2.3.3 OTA. Weapon, rooted OTA, debloated, etc. I only fail to get data on ROMs based on CM7.
And yes, the APN information is right. I've even tried making a new APN entry with the settings that work on OTA ROMs.
It's like the radio isn't working right in CM7.

well i am new to this and i have the same issue, i first tried to install cm7 172 and had no signal what so ever but i could connect to wifi, so then i started over and used cm7 182 and still no signal, soo, then i reflashed gingerbread 2.3.4 rooted, still no signal, so then i called tmobile and asked them if everything on their side looked right and they said it did.
so i conclude that it is whatever we are not doing
that being said i hope some one can tell us what to do cause afterwards ill make a tutorial for those of us who go thread to thread looking for answears

I've tried that RIL matches.
I'm seriously wondering if it's the radio baseband. I've got the July 2011 tmobile version. V21E RIL matches.

I have an answer, or at least a work-around. Can't claim credit for it, read it on the Cyanogenmod forums.
In the apn settings, fill in EVERYTHING. Even PAP/CHAP. Save. Then go back and clear out the ones that should be empty. Save again. It will start working.
There must be an APN field that doesn't start null in the CM7 base, that T-Mobile uses that CinBell doesn't. That would explain why T-Mobile users never experienced this issue.
I've narrowed it down some more. Authentication type needs explicitly set to none. I'm submitting a change request to CyanogenMod.

Thank you for posting this Terry, this got data working on my newly rooted g2x on cincinnati bell with the MIUI 1.25.11 ROM. However my MMS settings must be screwed up as I'm still unable to send MMS messages. I'll keep tooling with it, but for now data is as it should be. Thanks again.

[Q] ATT Infuse on Rogers, need 4g modem/rom

Hi All,
I have an ATT infuse 4G, just arrived last night.
Which modem do I need to get the 3g/4g working on Roger's?
Hopefully something that I can flash with CWM.
I just finished rooting, unlocking and installing CWM recovery.
I now have a "I997RUXKG3" for a baseband, but it is still not getting any data.
Need also a good rom that will work with this setup.
Thanks
Heeter
Bump.
Could really use some advice.
Thanks all.
Heeter
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Try as many out as you can and see what works best!
As long as rogers supports the exact same 3g radio bands as ATT then it should pick it up automatically. If they use different ones then no matter what you do it won't connect to anything other then edge
I'm on rogers and have no problems with any of at&t modems. Just try them all and see which works best for you. I'm currently using UVKJ6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353209

Hmmm, you mentioned that all modems should work, maybe there is a setting that I am missing somewhere, 'cause I got no data whatsoever.
BTW, Spidey, Which ROM are you using? And do you have a download link for it?
Thanks

Hey I'm using Darky Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354321
After flashing make sure everything is running and then flash InfusionGB-CoreA2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212485
Then flash this tweak Universal Adrenaline Shot v13.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236779
Before doing any of this try downloading tweakker https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tweakker&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50d2Vha2tlciJd from market it fixs apn for specific carrier.
Try inputting the Rogers APN look for a search on the forums to find it, it should activate your data.
Thanks for the heads up Spider, Sarius.
Will post back when I check that out.

I don't know if H+ is good for my area. Don't know if 4G has even made it to my area (Edmonton). I know rogers has been talking about something called LTE in my area.
My Nexus S always says 3G, but it is 3G only, not a 4G device.

Thanks for that explanation, Entropy
Heeter
h+ is the 4g in infuse 4g but its more like fauxG, really its just marketing, the infuse and many other 4g phones work on the 3g network, lte is the true 4th Gen network and the infuse doesn't support it.
the att kernel seems to get faster data because of tcp buffer changes ( if I got that mixed up with something else someone correct me) but the recent custom kernels have the changes and are all built on Rogers sources. the rom shouldn't matter but you need to use the Rogers apn settings. the modems should all work including modems from the sgs4g
weather you see h+ or 4g depends on the rom. it can be changed in the theme. they indicate exactly the same thing.

Noob, need help with data issues

So recently seemingly randomly, my rocket tries to say I have lte when I should only have 4g. I live near DC, but not close enough for lte. So when I try to send a text, it often fails and needs me to resend it. For someone who sends 25k a month, this is ridiculous. I'm not sure if the whole device is breaking or if the lte and texting issues are related. Help??

MMS Fix for Epic 4G Running ICS

Hi everybody,
We all know that ICS has made it a bit difficult to edit your APN(s). We also know that some of us have been having issues getting MMS to work when we install ICS on our Epics.
Luckily after a lot of research and a little tinkering I found a great fix that worked right away. I took the APN Settings from an Epic Touch 4g.
1. Within you Epic open your Voice Dialer App.
2. When prompted say "Open APNs".
3. Another pop up will appear, tap on the OPEN APNs message that pops up.
4. The next screen will show one single APN called Sprint tap on it.
5. On the next screen you will see the list of settings for the specific APN. Below are the list of settings that finally got my MMS working.
a. Username: Sprint
b. MMS Proxy: 68.28.31.7
c. MMS Port: 80
**ALL OTHER SETTINGS STAY THE SAME**
6. Once completed tap the menu button and tap save.
7. Reboot for good luck.
Steps 1-3 will also work for Epic owners trying to edit APN settings to use on another carrier.
Hope the info helps!
Is this more for wifi or 3g. Cause I know I have trouble sometimes. I followed your thing. Guess I'll see how it goes. Cause I don't remember when I have had mms fail for testing.

Interesting. I just noticed this today when I couldn't see an mms in an otherwise awesome CM9 RC1.
I just installed HandcentSMS and that worked, but I prefer not having the extra apps. I'll try this over the weekend.

I believe it only applies to 3G since the APLs are only used as network identifiers by mobile devices.

The first three steps were from another post i found through a Google search (Dont ask, i unfortunately dont remember). Once i found out how to access the APL in ICS it was just of matter of finding the APL info for another Sprint phone (in this case a Galaxy II) and entering that info in my Epic's APL.
this was one of the main reasons i installed TPR, may have to switch back to ICS, if this fixes the MMS issues!
Very interesting. Now I need to receive an mms to test.
One thing I noticed was after following all steps, a lot of other information was populated in the Sprint settings when I went back to look.

Wanted to give out a BIG thanks for this fix
I installed CM9, RC1, and had issues sending MMS. Was unsure if it was the towers in San Diego, as I was just visiting,or the phone, but as I has some extra time, I went so far as to do a full wipe and reload of CM9 RC1. Still, over several days, was unable to get a MMS to send 9 out of 10 times, no matter what I tried, while plain text messages went right away.
I rebooted my phone, tried sending a MMS, and it stuck on sending. Gave it 15-20, and even rebooted. Still stuck at sending. I deleted the message, made this fix, rebooted, and tried to send a MMS again, and the MMS sent right away
huge thanks for this! works like magic.

I too can confirm that this works to solve the MMS issues on WIFI. However, be careful; when I rebooted after applying the fix, my phone tried resending all of my past MMS messages. It really bogged my phone down, and I had to delete them in order to stop it from happening.

Fix works great on AOKP Build 40 :good:
Would this fix work on a phone flashed to Boost Mobile?, the MMS issues is one of the few major things keeping me off anything CM9 related...
