Installed custom ROM, now I can't access the web using data - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I can't seem to find the answer to this question anywhere else, so I'm going to post my issue here.
I purchased a Nexus S today through a private sale, and rooted it and all that good stuff...and I installed the "Apex ICS ROM". Everything seems to be working okay except for my data plan. I can access web pages only when on Wi-Fi, but when I disconnect from Wi-Fi I get nothing.
I know the issue must reside in the ROM, because earlier today the phone was running Gingerbread (2.3.6) and everything was working perfectly.
If anybody has any suggestions for me I would greatly appreciate it!
-Luke

Reflash back to stock and try again

You just need to enter your carriers data settings.
Menu > System Settings > More.. > Mobile networks > Access point names > Menu > New APN > {enter server info from carriers site} > Menu > Save
Data should work after that.

Skyfire not working with cooked rom

Hi,
I have tried everything I can think of from changing the data settings to disabling HSDPA. When I use a custom ROM (and I have tried many different ROMs), there are times that I cannot connect to the internet through Skyfire or Opera (and some times PIE). This does not happen all the time, it seems to happen more when I am connected through HSDPA; yet turning HSDPA off does not change anything. Does anyone know if AT&T USA needs a special connection setting? I show that I am connected through "MEdia Net (HSDPA)" when this happens and not 3G or E.
[[edit]] The reason it is posted in the Rom forum is becasue this only happens when using a cooked ROM
You are correct you this post will most probably be booted from here since you should post the problem in the specific rom development thread, but there are no special settings for at&t it should work right off the bat, try establishing a connection with IE first and see if that fixes anything. Also you may want to check and see if the proxy is enabled if so disable it, the at&t proxy does sometimes stop connections with certain programs, i know it stopped the weather app for a while.
Definitely will not work right out of the box. erandhawa is on the right track with the ATT settings. you do need to kill off the proxy.
it sounds like you go from cooked rom to stock just to get your phone working. with that in mind it would seam also that your not changing the radio. make sure that your changing the radio too as just about every rom performs differently with every radio.
I did not post it in the spicific Rom thread becasue this happens on 5 of the roms I use. Well after talking to Skyfire for a while it turns out I do need to disable the proxy (thanks Erandhawa and Peterfnet). As soon as I disabeled the proxy {Start --> Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Advanced --> Select networks --> MEdia Net --> Edit... --> Proxy Settings --> Uncheck "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"} I than soft reset and it works great. I also now get weather and my active sync still works. Thanks guys
I know this is a simular post to another skyfire, the difference is this only happened with custom roms.
good to see things worked...just remember everytime u flash a new rom ur gonna have to disable that proxy...also didn't mean an offence i've just seen mods toss posts because they are in the wrong section but the good thing is u got it resolved before the posts got tossed

[Q] HTC Inspire AT&T no carrier

I just flashed to LeeDroid V3.2.1 on my HTC Inspire. Upon install I have been unable to connect to the AT&T network to place any phone or data connections. I have attempted to change the radio/ril but have seen none of them take care of this issue, when I go through setup to select a carrier, I actually have no company to choose from. Hopefully you can assist me. Thanks in advance

I recently flashed to this rom as well with the same phone without issues. When you say "setup a carrier" i assume you are going to settings --> wireless and networks --> Mobile Networks --> Network Operators and then in here either going "search networks" or "select automatically"?
If this yields no results then I would recommend rolling back to prior rom and then attempting flash again.
If this doesn't work perhaps go back to stock then re-root and attempt flash again.
I know going back to stock can fix a lot of issues such as sound, reception, slow downloads that's why I recommend that option. Also, stock radio should work fine.
I hope this helps and good luck!
EDIT: Also look at the APN settings here is a link to it for your phone could be something there.
I also was going to suggest taking a look at the APN settings.
Sorted this issue out with a web due moment, I had the cover off and didn't realize it had a pair of contacts that were required to have the sim card seated. Sometimes It's the simplest answers.
Thanks for the help

[Q] Can't download/update apps using data connection on play store.

whenever I try to download or update an app from the play store when my wifi is off and only data is on I'm getting a "xxx could not be downloaded due to an error.(404)"
I tried deleting data of everything market/play store related and nothing helped.
When the wifi is on everything works great.
Edit: if im going to the market site and choose to install the selected app on my devices it will also fail if the wifi is off
Also if it matters I'm using the market fix from LCD modder pro
u answered ur own question. Market has a known flaw when interacting with LCD modder and any dpi changer.
As far as I know the flaw is not being able to see/update certain apps, but after using the fix everything works.
And as I said over wifi I have no issues at all only while using data so I doubt that's the case.
Bumping this because I tried restoring to the original market and I still cant download/update using mobile data.
Would be great if anyone can help me with this.
while in market> settings> deselect wifi only.

It's not selected. I think I tried most of the obvious things but thanks for trying.
have the same problem
Did u fined a solution?
Solution
The solution is: go to System Settings > press "More..." in Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names (APNs) >press the menu button, inside the menu press "Reset to default“ > now another option will appear called "Internet 3G" (modem) , besides the "Portal 3G". Choose the new option "Internet 3G" and you are done! =] here's a screenshot:
http : / / i47. tinypic .com /2njbv2u. png (delete spaces)
Solution - works
It worked for me although I didn't change to Internet 3G - just reset to default.
Thx. I already tryed a few fixes that didn't work.
Change proxy settings
I removed proxy settings from my APN attributes and then it worked fine.
Thanks a million! This worked for me and has been bugging me the last couple of weeks. Google support had me clear cache, do a data reset of all the Play store related apps/service, along with flip air plane mode on and off. They eventually sent me to Samsung support and they pretty much went over similar steps outside of trying it in Safe Mode. They even had me do a reset with the phone which didn't fix it either. I knew something funky was going on as my wife's Pixel was also doing it. Now I have both phones fixed!

no mobile data with new roms

Hi, I flashed cyanogenmod 7.2 the other night and everything went great, no problems. Today I wanted to try a couple different roms, I tried Buglees Beast and Codename Android 3.2, both flashed fine but I have no mobile data on either of them. If I restore back to Cyanogenmod everything works fine. Does anyone have any ideas why this may be? Thanks
Just reflashed bugless beast and still same thing, no mobile data. Then flashed cm 9.0 everythin great. I would still like to try the other roms if I can get them to work.
When u flash another ROM and u will have no data connection, go to; settings/more/mobile networks/access point name/ and check if there is access point name of the network u on, if not y need to make APN for ur network.
you have to input your specific carrier settings, check it by going to the carrier website, there should be a section where they list all the necessary settings for the internet to work. you can input it by going to settings->under wireless and networks, choose more->mobile networks->Access point names->menu button, and click on more. after inputting, make sure you enable it. hope this helps. if still doesn't work, try a new radio.

Thanks, that was the problem. There was already one in there, but it wasn't the right one,. Got the info from their website and it works great. Thanks again.

How to fix "No service" on T699?

Hello.
My T699 started to switch to EDGE, I couldn't make any call. Tried hardreset (wipe all data from recovery menu), it helped for a moment, but after that it got even worse (can't find any mobile network).
Please help. How do I fix this?

You didn't change SIM-card and/or location? Maybe your modem is dying.
Switched to GSM only. Seems to work that way for a month. But I would really like to get 3G back. Any suggestions?
I had a problem like that once after flashing a rom and messed with my access point names and I was able to get 3G/4G after that. I found the info via searching, I believe.
settings -> more settings -> mobile networks -> access point names
I made a new one and it worked for me. I looked up settings online and tried a different one than what was in there. I'm still using epc.tmobile.com but most of my searching told me to use fast.t-mobile.com, iirc. It's been a long time but I think making the epc one is what fixed my issue. It's worth a try.
It can be too complicated to search through the network access points. Take T Mobile for example. They have literally hundreds of available networks you may find listed, but they're quite different. Rather than trying to figure all that out, and it really sounds like matters got complicated for you, I would just flash in the original software. The firmware for any Galaxy S Relay I believe should currently be the same as T Mobiles version running Android 4.1.2. The Build number for that is, T699UVBOH1. You can find the firmware here, https://samsung-firmware.org/downlo...-T-Mobile-__/8k20/TMB/T699UVBOH1/T699TMBBOH1/
Take note that the firmware is listed as Android 6.0.1, which is incorrect. I have no idea why it's listed as such on an official Samsung page and have written to them about the error. Flash it to your device via Odin3. For this device I use Odin3.07 or 3.09.
