So, I installed CM7 the other day, and everything went smoothly. There are a couple of issues though.
1) I have horrible crackling sounds when I sync up my Bluetooth headset.
2) When on the phone, it vibrates twice when I place a call, move the phone to a new position during a call, and hang up from a call. I can't find this anywhere in settings.
3) My network card keeps dropping out on me, even with a strong signal. I'm going to look in the modem section for that one.
Anyone have a clue what to do about any of these issues?

I forget where I picked this up, but I copied it to a text file in my ROM folder and I apply it to my APN settings every time I flash. It works great for me to fix bouncing data and MMS.
Code:
Code:
Name: ATT
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username: [email][email protected][/email]
Password: CINGULAR1

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: default,mms,supl
Everything else:
Menu - Save
Open Phone Dialer
Dial: *#*#4636#*#*
Press Phone Information
Hit Menu
Choose Select Radio Band
Choose USA Band
Turn on Airplane Mode for about 20 seconds and then turn it off
Bluetooth is broken (except for file transfers). It will never work, so don't ask. It's a sacrifice you must make to use CM7.
Thanks for the APN info, I put it into the phone, but I was referring to wifi. My fault for not being specific. It also appears that modems only cover cellular data, I thought there would be software for wifi, as well (at least driver updates, or something). This thing gets 2 bars less than my Galaxy Tab (the old one), regardless of where I am. Standing 2 feet from the router? Tablet is full bars, I only get 1 from the Infuse. It's pretty infuriating, since my room is at the back of the house (2 bars for the Tablet, 0 for the phone).
EDIT: Also, thanks GuyIncognito721. I missed that when I was looking at CYanogen. Oh well, no bluethooth.
CM7 Infuse Wifi
You got lucky with that wifi lol. When I was running CM7 compiled for the Infuse I could not even connect to wifi. I found that it would try to connect but not be able to obtain an IP address.
Sounds like you have a different problem, but every phone has it's weak spot and for the Infuse it is its Wifi... Try out SuperCM7. I know it hasn't been updated in a while, but I am still trying to find bugs. I didn't try out the bluetooth because I don't have any use for it but it can't hurt to experiment!
Best of luck =]
I've never even heard of SuperCM7, I'll give it a look. Thanks for the suggestion.
After looking over my options, I decided to go with R3velation. This ROM kicks ass! No weird vibrating for no reason, Bluetooth works, and WiFi doesn't keep dropping (plus I'm getting better signal strength).

Hello everyone,
This thread is for those of you who have manually edited their APNs to increase data speeds. In my APN thread, every once in a while I see a complaint where the user says the "Phone" APN (which is the 2nd APN) will not stay selected. Historically I've been telling people to reboot their phone and try again, or try adding a 3rd APN (for some reason when a 3rd APN is entered, the 2nd one will usually stick). I have seen this problem myself. There may be a more elegant and effective way to prevent this issue, which is what this new thread is all about.
I took another look at the default APN config in the stock updated ROM (the OTA HSUPA update that came out at the end of April), and noticed that the "Phone" APN (which is the APN that provides the faster speeds in some markets) is listed first. As most of you already know, this APN is missing from all custom DHD/Inspire ROMs, which is what prompted this procedure in the first place. For simplicity, my APN procedure (up until now) has been telling people to just add the "Phone" APN as the 2nd one. Speed wise, it doesn't matter which order the APNs are in, just as long as the "Phone" APN is selected and stays selected, but some people have trouble with the selection reverting back to the 1st (slow) APN, sometimes later on without their knowledge. In this new procedure that is listed below, it tells how to delete all your APNs so you can start from scratch, and then add the fast "Phone" APN first, to ensure it will always be selected since it is listed first. The 2nd APN is merely for MMS. This APN layout is the same as the stock ROM.
This procedure "should" work on all ROMs, but that's why I'm asking for beta testers to see what problems arise. I want to get some feedback before officially updating my APN thread in the dev section. Anyone that performs this beta procedure and provides feedback, I will click on their "thanks" button.
Standard warnings apply: make a nandroid backup before making this change, etc. Messing with your APNs is messing with your data connection, but everyone should know that already.
Step 1. Delete all APNs:
Press Menu button --> Settings --> Wireless and networks --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names
Press the left side of your 1st APN to go into the settings of this APN, then press Menu>>Delete APN.
Repeat this process for any other APNs you have. The goal is to delete all APNs so we can start from scratch.
Now do the next steps in the same order as below:
Step 2. Create a new APN (Menu>>New APN) with these settings, everything is case sensitive. This will be your 1st APN:
Name: MEdiaNet
APN: Phone
MMS protocol (if applicable): WAP 2.0
MCC: (don't change this number)
MNC: (don't change this number)
APN type: default,admin (notice there is no space on either side of the comma)
APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4
everything else: <Not set>
Press Menu>>Save. You will now be back at the initial APN screen.
Step 3. Create a new APN (Menu>>New APN) with these settings. This will be your 2nd APN:
Name: MMS
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cinguar.com
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol (if applicable): WAP 2.0
MCC: (don't change this number)
MNC: (don't change this number)
APN type: mms,supl (notice there is no space on either side of the comma)
APN protocol: IPv4
APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4
everything else: <Not set>
Press Menu>>Save.
You will now be back at the initial APN screen again. Make sure the 1st APN (named MEdiaNet) is selected (via the round radio button on the right side). Your data connection will drop for a few seconds.
We're done. Let me know if you have any problems. If for some reason you notice your speeds are slower or faster, this is due to the normal wide variance in AT&T network speeds. If you were already using the custom APN config, there is absolutely no reason why this APN config would slow you down or speed you up; all we're doing is changing the order of them.
If you need to revert back to your default APN config, from the APN selection screen just press menu and select "Reset to default". Or worst case scenario, simply restore your nandroid backup.

If you posted this yesterday, I would've been first in line to experiment. But I've finally stabilized my data speeds after countless days & hours of tweaking (using your methods, and others I've found around here).
Have you ever experimented with [email protected] (as opposed to [email protected])? This has given me better speeds, both when I was stock and on a custom ROM.
EDIT: I've read through your entire thread and don't remember if someone else had the same problem or not. When using the two APNs method, my connection would drop temporarily (always reconnected within a few seconds though) sometimes. Is this something you've seen happen?
Ill give this a shot! Always helping people out

No worries. As the old saying goes, "don't fix what ain't broke". Especially if the road to stability was a long one.

I just tried it and saw no difference. In theory, this shouldn't affect anything speed wise, since this username is only located in the APN used for MMS (when using the dual APN config). Maybe you've been experiencing the normal crazy AT&T speed inconsistencies, and it was just a coincidence that your speeds were faster when using the alternate username? Just a thought.

Personally I've never seen this issue. My phone doesn't normally drop its connection, regardless whether I'm on 1 or 2 APNs (unless I'm in a very low signal area of course). Sounds like your ROM didn't like having its APNs messed with, or something else was going on. Hard to tell.
Thanks for your feedback BTW.
@XAviierG, bcd420, biglittlegato - thanks guys!!!
biglittlegato, if you're willing to test on multiple ROMs then go for it! I won't stop you. I'll thank you every chance I get.
Rockin the new settings now. Will try mms next. Coverage is spotty here, will know more once I get her back home.
Edit: mms works. So far data is much slower. Will try next to the good tower after work.

Cool, thanks for the update. This new APN layout definitely shouldn't cause any slowdowns, so you were probably just experiencing some slowness in your area.

Where I work I bounce from 0-4 bars of EDGE to 0-2 bars of HSPA while sitting still. There is a tower in town where I typically get 3 to 4 mbps down and have seen as high as 5.5 down. My typical uploads are 1 to 1.5 mbps. Since the APN change I am getting 500 kbps down with 150 kbps up. I'm sitting about 3 miles from the good tower. I'll report back after I run some tests closer to the good tower. I figure I'll run this setup for a couple of days and then try again with a different rom.

I just installed ClearDroid 1.1.4 and I don't think this is going to work. The first APN is locked (wap.cingular) and there is no way to delete it. Nothing happens when you press menu, just the keyboard from a long press of it.

Yeah I forgot that some ROMs have a locked APN, so this procedure will only work on the less restrictive ROMs. Thanks for checking though.
So I have a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate and it's been running pretty nicely for the most part for several months (I got it around the same time FireFly 3.0 came out)
It's gotten pretty cluttered and also having a few silly issues lately so I decided to try a factory data reset.
Everything seemed to go fine, but now I have no Data and WiFi doesn't work either. (I can make phone calls without issue, though)
WiFi scans and sees my network, but when it tries to connect.. it just says "Disconnected" after a few seconds and then tries again in a loop of connecting and disconnecting.
As for the 3G data, it is not working either. There is no icon over top of the reception bars where I would normally see a tiny "3G" or "H". It's just the 4 green bars and nothing else.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I don't even know where to start.
Thanks!!
John
Update: False alarm on the WiFi not working - it was just a coincidental timing issue with my router messing up also. WiFi works. 3G Data does not.
Also, rooted phone (obviously) on Fido/Rogers in Canada.
Thanks
try re flashing firefly or edit your apn's and add these :
Name: Rogers
APN: internet.com
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
MCC: 302
MNC: 72 (If that doesn't work try 720, its already filled in, leave it at what it is)
it looks like the apn was missing completely, thanks!!
Hi, last night I installed that odin ICS leak, and my phone does not get data connection. I have a good amount of bars, and it says network type HSPA, but I dont get the 4g / lte icons. There is no IP address, and no data coming in at all.
I checked the APN settings, and its empty.
What APN should I add to make my data work?
Same, we may just need to try a reflash though..

I dont have LTE at my house, but at work tonight I get LTE so ill check if it works.
So far works great for regular HSPA though
EDIT: Posted right before that burgeswe post that link. Ill try that also.
Derp. I should have tried that in the first place.
You might just try going into the APN's screen, and hitting menu - reset to default.
Not sure about the ICS settings because I've been on call since the leak, but in theory it should work
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
2012Build 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.
Hi All,
I've tried every APN out there and I continue to have connectivity issues. It seems to have strong signals sometimes, getting 3-4mbps with a decent ping. But most of the time it's around 1-2mbps. Other times I cannot connect to the internet at all. Speedtest won't load, netflix and chrome won't load and MMS won't send. Sometimes just waiting will fix it, other times I need to restart the phone, or turn Airplane more on/off.
Here is what I have...
DataPro 3GB for Smartphones ( I don't know if that is designed for 3g or HSPA+, and maybe it doesn't matter).
APN settings...
NAME: ATT
APN: wap.cingular
MMSC : http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: 66.209.11.32
MMS port : 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Otherwise it's set to 'not set'
Any pointers?
Thanks.
Maybe this helps.

Yep, tried all those too. I got a replacement from Amazon today, put in the SIM and it worked automatically. I didn't have to touch any of the APN settings. But sadly, 1/2 way through the day the data connection dropped off for about 45 mins. I love the phone but I cannot tolerate it if the connection is so unreliable. I'll have to return it and go back to my old GS2.
