Is your device Rooted?
it doesn't mean that because you don't see the 3g indicator that your not on the 3g network it also depends on the carrier/PRL/Tower, did you enable data over the network?

Connection Issues

Hey everyone,
Just did the bootloader unlock and everything turned out fine. Unfortunately, however, my Rezound will not connect to anything wi-fi, 3g, 4g, etc. I get the feeling that this isn't normal, so if anyone has tips for helping me out, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Don't mean to be rude but this is not the place for questions... anyway, have you made any modifications... have you frozen any apps? uninstalled any apps? certain apps are required for connectivity.
Sorry about that, then. But to answer, no. Perhaps it is just the hour-long connection originally required? I am not sure. I imagine I can still do everything I need to do, though, regardless of having a connection. Just sort of worries me. Making sure I didn't mess anything up.
Edit: When looking at my phone's settings, I am unable to select Mobile Network because it says either, "Network Unavailable" or "Use phone for data connection when Wi-Fi is unavailable" (despite wi-fi being turned off).

I'm not sure what u mean by "hour long connection required".
Go to settings > wireless & networks ... check only "Mobile Network" no other check boxes > click "Network Settings" ... make sure "always-on...data" is checked > click "Network Mode" make sure "LTE/CDMA" is checked... see if you get a connection, if not reboot
So more detail in your issue might help others figure out what he problem with your phone is. When did you lose data, after unlock? did you root? was unlocking successfull? did you have data before unlocking? did you flash a recovery/rom?
Apparently all it needed was a SIM reset, because once I pulled it and replaced, 3g came back and then 4g shortly thereafter. All is right in the world.

New Motorola Defy, Major Connection Issues

Bought a brand new unlocked Moto Defy and I'm having some WiFi and data connection issues...
To start things off, I cannot get any kind of data on this phone. I'm able to make/receive calls and texts with no problem but when it comes to accessing data, it's a total fail. I've added APN's for ATT (ATT MMS, ATT PHONE, AT&T PTA), switched the 2G/3G/auto under Mobile Network Settings, and I just can't seem to get data working. I get data just fine on my At&t Samsung Focus with WP7.
Secondly, I cannot connect to my WiFi router. I've reset the router numerous times, disabled WPA security, tried different security methods, and it just doesn't want to connect. The network occasionally shows up with great signal strength but soon after disappears. I went to the same room as the router and it shows up. When I tap on it to connect, it shows "connecting" and then "disconnected". I also get a WiFi symbol in the upper left hand corner with a question mark over it.
And to top things off, I can't seem to format my WP7 memory card so I can't even install any apk's or ROMs. For some reason, the 2GB card that supposed to come with this phone wasn't even in the box!
Any ideas? Starting to get frustrated, this is my first android phone (3rd android device, first 2 were tablets) so I'm eager to mess with this thing.
Uploading a short video showing the WiFi problem.
Thank you so much!
Also, running 2.2.2

So I've installed Cyanogenmod 7 and was able to get to the band settings but when I select USA Band, it says "Set [USA Band] Unsuccessful.
I found a working bp_nvm_default folder for ATT, replaced original with that, set permissions, and nothing has changed.
I am at a loss of what to do now. And after installing CM7, I have no signal what so ever.
Please!!!! Any ideas?!?!?

[Q] Mobile Network State: Disconnected

If I go into settings>about phone>status it shows my mobile network state as "disconnected"
Under mobile networks, one of the options is to change the network mode. Right now it says "CDMA/LTE/EVDO". The other options are GSM/UMTS and Global.
Is that the network mode i'm supposed to be in? If so, what should I do about it saying my mobile network state is "disconnected"?
I had to odin back to stock recently and I think my phone is working correctly but I'm sure it's not supposed to say that my mobile network state is "disconnected".
Thanks for any and all help.
Yes, you want to be on LTE/CDMA/EvDO.
Is the 'CDMA Subscription' set to RUIM/SIM?
We need more info regarding which rom you're on, which build, etc. Some devices (like mine) have s**t modems and certain roms end up freaking the modem out and shutting it off. I suspect you have the same issue.

I'm pretty sure completely stock right now. 4.1.2. Build number JZO54K.I535VRBMF1.
I'm not seeing anywhere where I can change the "CDMA Subscription".
I was about to go through the process of rooting and unlocking the bootloader and flashing LiquidSmooth 2.37 and dealing with this disconnected mobile network state problem after that.
hmm... it's been a while since I ran stock. I know it's a dumb question, but have you rebooted the device?
Are you connected to WiFi? It will say that if you are connected to WiFi.

[Q] Nexus 5 will not automatically connect to cell network

Hi All,
I've been having an issue after upgrading from a Nexus 4 to Nexus 5 where the phone will not re-connect to the home network (or will only reconnect to GSM with no data) after losing connection. This happens for example when going into an elevator or parking garage; I'll lose signal and when I get back into a signal area it won't reconnect unless I go to the "Mobile networks" -> "Network operators" menu and select "HOME" or "Automatic Registration". I'm using Straight Talk wireless with an older T-Mobile SIM (before they switched to only AT&T). I've called Straight Talk a few times to try and debug this, but the only instruction they've given me is to reset the APN and set it up again, which I've done a couple times to no avail. They claim that the SIM card is good on their end. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks!

It sounds like the Baseband/RIL problems I had with my old LG OP2X with non-stock roms. For me, it was fixed switching to aeroplane mode and back, it could also get stuck there, I remember it once took me half a day to get it out for I didn't want it to wipe it.
Any way, may be it's not the same but it could be fixed flashing a baseband, I think I saw a thread about it somewhere around... Also, flashing the full firmware should —if it's not a hardware issue— solve the problem without doing much research.
HI

Hi Were you able to get a solution for this, My nexus 5 does not connect automatically to the network, it works only for manual search.
Please help...
Same problem here. Any solution?
I'm stuck with out any connection for the las two days. Tried removing battery, airplane mode. manual search. nothing.
Tried my line in other phone and it worked, other line in my phone and it didn't.
S4 I9500. Paranoid 4 Beta 4.
I don't have a really good solution, i reflashed my phone to stock and it did not fix the issue. I ended up switching carriers to T-mobile and haven't seen the problem since. It seems it was a SIM or network problem like i suspected

[Q] [Question] No data after root? OPO

Rooted in the usual way. Full data connectivity before hand and now nothing afterwards. Any advice?
Everything is still stock just rooted OnePlus One. At&t Go plan is up to date with an extra month already paid for.
What do you mean by "No data"?
Aren't you able to connect to the internet or is it something else?

My signal indicates that I have no connectivity when I use an APN other than stock. It is a orange signal. When I use the stock ATT LTE APN I have nothing, a full signal but it is like a roaming no data signal. I am not able to connect to any mobile data network.
Do you have rooted your device?
When you connect to the WIFI, you can get data from the web?

The device is rooted, had data before the root. Yes does have data with wifi just not through the carrier.
Then delete your host file at system>etc>host
then try to reboot the phone.
