PLEASE IGNORE , I FIXED THE PROBLEM...ALL I DID WAS LEAVE THE PROXY FIELD BLANK AND JUST USE THE SERVER FIELD INSTEAD!!
Hi, I am new to this site and new to Android over all. I recently got a Samsung Galaxy T959v. When i got it, it was on gingerbread however it was unlocked and to unlock it I took it to a technician. When i got it back it was back to stock Froyo, I hated this and tried to update via kies but it wouldn't work. It said unregistered firmware. I asked around and got help to upgrade to ICS using CM9 (BIG THANK YOU TO Cascabreu!!)
However since then the data on my phone does not work, WiFi is fine but the network data is not.
The message i get when i try to use the browser is :
CONNECTION PROBLEM: Authentication via the proxy was unsuccessful.
I thought maybe its the ROM, so i used a different one, AOKP Milestone 6 and its the same problem. When i go on facebook it says network error.
I contacted the network provider and re-entered the APN settings and it still would not work. Weird thing is, if i use the phone as a hotspot, it sends the data to my tablet and I am able to use it..have no clue why it wont work on its own. Also the "E" comes up on the phone indicating that the data settings is on, but it doesn't really "download" data as it should.
Someone please HELP!!!
That's a strange error that I've never seen before. For starters check your IMEI. Settings>about phone>status. If the imei is good then the problem is most likely in your apn settings. What carrier are you with?
Check your IMEI

Whatever that "technician" did, must have messed up your phone, do what they mentioned above, and if anything seems wrong flash back to stock using Heimdall.
If you want we can still put you back into ICS.
Thanks allot guys!! I thought I replied to this post afterwards..... But I fixed the problem...... I was to leave the proxy field blank.... Called the phone company and they told me to put the same info as the server in the space..,.. But that was incorrect!! I left it blank and it worked perfectly!!!

On my phone do I can't see if you have a signature. It would help to tell us which rom you have installed, like JH7. That would make it easier too troubleshoot.

official att JH7, nothing rooted or modded in any way
I get this exact same problem. The Wifi on my phone sometimes works, sometimes does not (although it says it is connected). I too have had to reboot my phone just to get it working again...even then after it stops working after 30-ish min.
I also am also having other issues after the official update as well.
1) cannot add a gmail account for syncing on my phone.
2) cannot connect to AT&T server when trying to find an update.
I went to AT&T for the three issues that I am having and they were unable to find a fix, we even tried changing SIM cards.
Sounds like you have a corrupt file somewhere. You could always get the Odin3 one click here, do a master clear (same as factory reset), flash back to stock, download Mini Kies EXE File here to get back to the JH7 build. [HOWTO] Update to JH7 using Kies Mini (USA) just in case.
Just make sure you read the Odin steps, if you haven't done before.
Hope that helps.
The wifi always shows connected but fail to use the internet. Every time I reboot the cell phone, the wifi will work again. What is causing this problem and how to fix it.
greybunny are you rooted? If so I might know of something you could try to resolve your wifi issues.
I have the same issue - it seems to happen once or twice a week. I'm rooted on JH7.

That happens to me, too. If wifi disconnects. The internet wont work. I had to go in flight mode then reconnect and internet works again. Smh.....

No, it's a brand new phone.
I got 2 phones from Amazon, both phones had the same problem, one of it keeps shutting down itself, so I called amazon and they sent me a replacement. But all of the 3 phones I got so fat had this issue. And rebooting always solved the problem. Is there a software update from Samsung?
greybunny, if the phone is new then I must ask. Is the issue only on your home wireless? I ask b/c I have had this issue on my phone, I finally logged into my router to find that the IP the phone had was the same as the IP of my pc. So either the router was not assigning a new ip to the phone or it was trying to and the phone didn't want to give it up. I reflashed the firmware on my Router and have not had the issues since.....(knock on wood)
I had a friend who was having issues with her phone not even attempting to scan for wireless, seems there is an issue on android phones that the networking cache file or whatever it is gets cluttered and needs to be renamed. (Android recreates it)
The process is rather simple, I walked my friend through the steps over the phone w/o issues.
I had her use oneclick root/unroot to root her phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304
Then Had her go through these steps to rename the file.
http://androidforums.com/samsung-moment/46179-unable-scan-networks.html
The steps are for a samsung moment but still work. Also noted that the steps w/o rooting do not work. After you finish renaming the file you can use the application in the first link to unroot the phone and go back to stock
Edit: I would recommend going the router firmware upgrade path first then if still an issue look into renaming the file on the phone.
Hello. After lots of rooting, ROM flashing, and all that good stuff, somewhere in the process I did something that must be keeping me from using 4G. When I turn on my 4G antenna, in settings it just says I'm "Disconnected" and when I scan for service, it scans for maybe five seconds and goes back to disconnected. In the settings, all three fields for 4G network information (Network provider, Signal strength, and IP address), are blank.
I used wimax_mtd and ls /data/misc/wimax/ to make sure I still had my keys, and I do, they match what's written on the back of the phone exactly. I tried this with no luck.
Anyone know what is causing the problem? I'm running a fully rooted gingerbread.

What rom/version? What provider? What troubleshooting steps have you taken?
Sprint. The ROM is just a rooted version of Gingerbread (2.3.3). The software number is 2.76.651.4. Troubleshooting? I don't even know what you're asking there. I have my keys, I've confirmed that. I tried one thing from the thread I linked. I can't connect. What else am I supposed to try?

Flash the new radio/wimax radio, update profile/prl/twice/reboot twice, tweak ##DATA# settings.

Unless your actually connected Network provider, Signal strength, and IP addresswill appear blank when you look in settings. If you've confirmed you have your keys, and are in a 4G zone. Then you can try a simple trick that sometimes works. Put the phone in Airplane mode for a few minutes. Then take it out of Airplane mode, and try to connect to 4G. If that doesn't work then go ahead and update the radios as VICODAN said. That should solve the issue.
Still no luck
I just tried all of those steps, besides the airplane mode one, with no luck, but I'm trying the airplane mode idea right now, and if that doesn't work, I'll elaborate.
EDIT:
Okay, no luck.
So I went through and flashed the newest radio and the wimax radio, and in the process I realized that I didn't actually have the newest radios beforehand. (I also learned that I hadn't yet formatted my microSD card to FAT32, so it's good that I realized that too. ) After that, I went into System Uupdates and updated Profile and PLR, then I rebooted, and I did it again, and I rebooted. You said to do it twice, so that's why, but you said twice twice so I wasn't sure which part to do twice. (Wow, that was a mouthful.)
After all of that, I tried the airplane more thing, with no success. I've connected to 4G in the past here, and the spring website even says my area has 4G coverage, so I know that's not the issue.
Also, about the tweaking ##DATA# settings, I mentioned that I tweaked it according to the link I put in the original post, but is there anything else I should try?
Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Last thing to try is ##rtn#, wipes fone and resets to factory defaults, then do hands free activation.
Also make sure your [email protected] stuff is configured properly. This is also somewhere in ##DATA# settings.
You can also try flashing a different rom like CM7
But before you do that call sprint tech support and tell them to fix it. They might be able to do something on their side.
Okay thanks, I'll call them later today.

So I called, the woman had me do a few things, and after hitting restore from the menu in ##DATA#, the 4G is behaving differently. Instead of scanning and returning to disconnectec, it now goes to "turning on ..." Then to "turning off ..." And back to on again. It cycles forever, until I manually turn it off.

Well it sounds like something is still wrong. Try flashing a different Rom to rule that out. If that doesn't work, and having WiMax is a must. Then you may want to think about running an RUU back to 2.2 stock. Then just start the whole root process all over.
[Q] Connection Problem: "authentication via the proxy server was unsuccessful"
Hey there,
Whoever can solve this would most likely help many others out there.
I tried looking this up on google and on XDA, but there is no solution so far besides doing a factory reset.
I have been having a problem with my data network since yesterday, it doesn't connect to the internet at all. The LTE/4G sign is visible when I turn it on though, but none of the apps are able to connect.
WIFI works like usual, and that is the only way I can connect online with my phone at the moment.
There were some who said that the app "PDAnet" was the problem, and that you can reset the proxy settings, however, this option is only available for tablet versions.
I have:
A Galaxy Note i717 (with Telus)
[ROM/MOD][The Collective] Seraphim - First Flight - ICS
Kernel version: 3.0.8-perf-I717UCLC5-CL281649 [email protected] #1
Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks.
Hm, internet seems to be working now.
All I did was wait, later through the day my phone was able to detect the data connection. There were no setting changes or anything, I just left my phone, made phone calls, send/receive texts; and all of the sudden, it worked.
For those who have a similar problem, I'm sorry that there is no quick solution as of now, but it seems like the network would eventually fix itself.
I hope that there are other solutions out there, if you happen to know any, please don't shy away from sharing.
Hi,
My friend and I have the same problem, both of us have the i717 running dagr8's ICS_CLC5_Alpha2 ROM. Everything was working perfectly until Thursday morning, everything looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
Telus wasn't able to help outside of being able to tell me that when they notice my phone register to the network, it only registers to voice and not data.
Luckily we keep nandroid backups of every ROM we run, and we found that the only ROM that worked perfectly was the stock ROM (no custom ROM GB or ICS worked). However, we did find that the Mozilla Nightly (or Aurora in my case) was able to access the internet on the ROMs that didn't work. My next step is to get Telus back on the line and have them check what they see when the Mozilla browser accesses the internet.
My buddy also ran a logcat, and found that the phone reported some problems while attempting to connect to the data network. I don't have the log, I'll see if I can get him to post it later.
I'm glad your connection is up and running, and it looks like my buddy's connection is working as of this morning, so hopefully mine will be back up shortly.
The fix is to clear the proxy entries under the Telus APN, did that this morning, and data has been working since then.
finaly thank u

I've read a lot on the internet but have not found a good answer for me. In certain locations, almost daily, I get either a "not registered on the network" message or a "sim not allowed ##3" message on my Infuse. If I switch the phone to airplane mode and then back off of airplane mode it always reconnects to the AT&T network. The problem started after I changed my ROM from Infused 1.5.3 to Zeus 6. I've flashed to Mind of Mac 1.4 but that didn't fix the problem. I've tried a new SIM card, different APN settings and several other changes, but it didn't help. If I have a good 4g connection it never has the problem. It never re-registers on the network until I do the airplane mode on and off thing or reboot the phone. My iemi number shows up weird on the phone too. What is the best way to fix this problem? Thanks.
No one has a clue?
No one has a clue how to fix the problem? It happens when I lose 3g or 4g connection.

Modem
I currently have UCLB3. I have tried a few different ones but it does the same thing with each one I've tried.
Sounds like you know what you are doing , unfortunately it sounds like a hardware issue. If going to settings > mobile networks > network operators and choosing AT&T does not fix it the only thing to suggest is return for repair or exchange. As you know, you will have to return it to stock so after you do that you may want to test it one more time. Sorry, not the answer you wanted but the best answer I have, Regards.

From recent experience - I would avoid using the fixes listed above as they will change your IMEI.
I say this as I was having a similar issue -- I had been running on the ParanoidAndroid ICS rom for a few days and my I997 started to do the same thing. Network connection was fine most of the time but it would occasionally drop out to no network. Except swapping between airplane mode didnt always fix it. If i rebooted the phone and it would pop up with "Unknown" Baseband Version, and no IMEI/IME SV until it connected again... whenever it decided to do so.
I flashed a few different modems to no avail.
Used GTG's stock restore... and it still showed no baseband or IMEI.
Searched through everything i could find and I found the 2 above posts. Being the cautious person that I am, I was skeptical to run the "fix" since I know playing with the efs folder can do.. fun things.. I backed it up with EFS Pro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
So after that - I did the fix from those two posts. It worked. I got a signal. HUZZAH. But I could only make a few calls before it would drop out, and I couldn't send or receive text messages at all they would just stall and error out.
So I took a look at the IMEI again and noticed that it was NOT *my* IMEI, it was presumably the imei of the person who Truckerglenn got the backup from so long ago.
Figured at this point my phone is going to have to go back to Samsung to fix since it's still dropping out, the IMEI is wrong and I can't send texts
Can't break it anymore than it's already broken right?
Go back into root browser, delete the EFS folder entirely. *poof* gone. Reboot. Use EFS Pro to restore the backup I had created (GOOD THING!) phone reboots. Instantly picks up the signal again, I get 15 text messages, 2 voicemails AND my IMEI shows what it should be now.
*HOPEFULLY* it holds onto its connection now. If not, back to stock and back to samsung it goes - now with the correct IMEI. heh
Sorry for the long story
Thanks! May have found a partial fix.
Thanks for the tips and information. I think I may have found a partial fix. It seems that picking the "WCMDA only" in the "Network Mode" options seems to solve the problem for me. If it is set on "GSM/WCCMA (auto mode)" option, it seems to cause the "SIM not allowed ##3" or the "not registered on the network" problem when I am in an area where the 4G or 3G signal is weak. I will do some more testing. It appears that if I don't have 3G or 4G available in any given location my phone won't connect to the cell towers at all even though other users can connect without any problems. Does this give anyone any other ideas? Do I possibly just need new APN settings?
Have you tried flashing a new radio? Does a complete wipe and restore to UCLB3 make any difference?
Has any of these roms/firmwares that you flashed been done so through Aroma installer? I know Aroma gives you the option to change modems, and if your download was buggered that could have caused it.
I'm just tossing ideas around here... I'm up early and looking to help.
The work around works
Yes, I have flashed the radio but that didn't help. I have discovered the "fix" is to set my phone on "WCDMA only". It seems that the phone will only work if 4G or 3G is available. I am not longer getting the original error messages. So that's a good thing. If I ever go to where 3G and/or 4G is not available I will have to try something else. Thanks for all the replies.
