Hi, I have an unlocked Atrix MB860, running 2.3.6/AT&T 4.5.141.
It's been working flawlessly on Rogers in Canada but now I'm in Colombia using a Comcel prepaid sim card. It prompted me to add access points and I did, and I have data for browsing but not for email, or other services like updating, google talk, facebook messenger etc. The sim is from a USB modem which has data and texting capabilities. These functions still work on wifi.
Is there something else I have to do to get this working, or is it possible the prepaid sim just doesn't allow this? I would think data is data and that it would let me connect to other servers.
Thanks and sorry if this is a noob question but I searched and found nothing

Hi. As the title says. I have just bought my dad a g1 from ebay, he has a tmobile payg sim card with no data plan, I have a g1 with a g1 data plan, if he uses my sim card to activate it will he still get the ability to take and make calls?
Thanks joe
As far as I know, he'll need to use data to activate it as he will need to sign on with his GMail account.
g1 without data plan
What do you meen by data, he will use my sim to aactivate and his gmail to sync data, and after that he will swap to his payg tmob sim card, so will he get phone call ability,
Thanks joe
yeah he would be able to activate it with your sim card. But once he puts in his sim card, the data charges may start to come up. I would say before you put in his sim card, delete the apn settings. that should kill any data from working so it is then just a phone. But the wifi can still work. or have his plan upgraded to a flexpay with the g1 service. You dont need a contract with that..
Yup that's gud, so deleat the apn's to stop tmob from charging and just use as normal g1 without 3g or grps or edge, ps how do I deleat apns
I am sure thats how it works. you can get "NetMeter" from the marketplace. that will tell you if there is anything accessing the data plan.
to remove apn go to
menu --> wireless controls --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names in there you will want to click on T-Mobile US - T-Mobile US 800 and remove the APN. Assuming you are in the US.
Thanks for quick reply, I'm in uk but I'm sure that will be the same but for tmob uk. Thank allot
If I was you I would post to get some feedback, it is a big post all about the APN settings. they should know more then me about it all.

Hi, and thanks for reading. I'll be brief and clear as much as possible.
I am using:
Samsung Nexus S
Android OS 2.3.6 GRK39F
T-mobile US
My issue:
A secure connection (or https) cannot be established over 3G or 2G network.
it works fine over WiFi access.
Additional Info:
I used to have H2O wireless which uses AT&T's 2G Network, and I didn't have any problem like this.
Contacted T-mobile tech support and set APN settings as instructed, but still did not work.
This issue results in:
The phone cannot use Google services (Gmail, Market,etc.) native to the phone as well as apps that require authentication (facebook, twitter, etc.) over 3G or 2G network. In order to get around this, I have to connect to WIFI first to authenticate then it works fine over 3G or 2G.
Thank you again guys, and I am looking forward to getting your professional help.
T-mobile's new Monthly 4G plan may have a problem in their Data Network??
Actually, I found out that it's not my phone's problem, but it could be the problem of T-mobile network.
I've found a thread in t-mobile support page where a bunch of people complaining about the same problem.
They all bought t-mobile's Monthly 4G plan that just came out (Oct 16, 2011), which offers 100min talk, unlimited text, unlimited data (with 5GB throttling)
They are complaining that they cannot get https connection over 3G or 2G Data Network regardless of their cell phone.
I tried to post an outside link, but the forum does not allow me since I am new here.
This issue has been resolved.
The link in the prior reply now shows a solution to this issue.
Virtually, the "Web Guard" feature on the plan was causing the mess.
You can turn off the feature by yourself on tmobile website, or by calling their customer service.
They say it may take up to 2 hours for the action to fully take effect.
Hello
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII (I535) with the Android 4.4.2 and the VRUDNE1 Build (I535OYUDNE1 Baseband). I got the Data and voice Roaming Package when I went to Europe. The voice part worked fine but the Data roaming sucked big time. Since you only get 100 MB (at 3G only), you follow their advise to reduce mobile data. Well I could not get reliable Internet access, even if I put the phone back up to full mobile data. I was using it with Maps, Yelp and TripAdvisor .
I then decided to buy an Internet-only SIM card in Germany, I could now get Internet access but I got the stupid message about the SIM card not being valid and the APN data had to be manually entered even when putting back the Verizon SIM card, which was a pain.
Now the phone is out of contract and not used with Verizon. I want to make it as my travel phone and be able to automatically load APN data and get rid of the SIM card message.
I see a couple of websites that claim that there are new easier methods to root the phone using towelroot.
Does anyone knows if towelroot will work with my current SIII?

Towelroot will work with an i535 on NE1, I bought a used, unrooted device a month ago and successfully rooted it. But, rooting will not automatically change APNs when you swap sims, I don't think.

No, but they I can use Apps that have the APN data but require root access. The other thing that would be nice is getting the RESET APN activated but not critical.
I had the impression that some of the SIM cards had a utility (or done through the activation) to set the APN data automatically. Need to test it thought

I've never changed SIMs, so I don't know if they have such a utility. I recall some of the the US pre-paid carriers supplying their APN settings packaged with the card for users to set. (StraightTalk comes to mind.) Since haven't needed to change APNs I don't know about the Apps you mentioned either.
Looks like I should have confirmed Towelroot working and not added any additional comment, you seem to have the rest worked out. BTW, let me know if you don't have a working copy of TowelRoot.
I have trouble connecting to a certain website using the Straight Talk AT&T BYOP sim card on my Nexus 5. The website is Chatango and whenever I try to login into my account on LTE, I receive error message net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE using the Google Chrome web browser app. I also downloaded the Chatango mobile app from the Google Play Store and I receive the same error message. However, I only receive this error message when I'm on LTE or 3G. If I switch to Wifi, both the Chatango app and connecting to the site on Google Chrome works without any issues. I am running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
To troubleshoot this problem, I took an activated sim card directly from AT&T (not from Straight Talk) and put it in my phone and I was able to connect to the site without any error messages. I even took an activated sim card from T-Mobile and I was still able to connect to the site. It's only with the Straight Talk's AT&T mobile connection on LTE or 3G where I receive this problem. So I thought it would be a carrier issue with Straight Talk. I called their customer support and they claimed that they could not help me with the issue. They claimed that it is a "Google" problem and that there is nothing they can do, despite the fact that the site works on any other carrier that I tried it on and it works on Wifi. Can someone help me with this? I am also using the latest APN settings according to what is presented on Straight Talk's website.
Just today my SIM data service has stopped working on android device, I tried everything I found on the web but nothing worked, turning on/off of data doesn't show the data connection (H+ sign), but GSM is okay, i can receive texts and calls, my settings for data are all correct 100% sure, APN, roaming set, data set to sim, but still there is no data connection showing..
I know it's possible that the network blocked my sim, because recently my sim got free data connection on any sites (P0 load), including play store, torrents, youtube, etc... Free as in everything.
So pals, is there a way to get my data service work again? Thanks
