Flashed 4.3 onto my note 2 and can't get any internet to work. I've followed the standard APN settings listed on the talkmobile website and geeksquad but still no internet?
CM 10.1 (4.2.2) had internet working fine but I can't get anything to work now.
A bit of googling has suggested that the APN settings in android 4.3 are different - there's MVNO type and MVNO value, but I can't find settings anywhere for talkmobile and customer services didn't know what I was going on about. Lots of people seem to have had issues but can't find a concrete solution for my network operator
Any ideas? Don't really want to have to downgrade since I had terrible battery life with CM 10.1, though I'll have to if I get internet back!

Hey everyone
For some reason bing maps does not seem to be working with directions when i am using cellular data; i usual get the error cannot connect to wifi or cellular data. I know my cellular data connection is working fine as i am able to use local scout, Ie and even Gmaps and it works fine. Bing Maps is also not accurate alot of the time either with it showing me to be around 2km away from my house.
If i am using wifi i am able to get directions but sometimes it says cannot find location even when i am clear view of the sky. I have had bing maps working previously and i prefer it to gmaps but this is really annoying me that it wont work. I want to format my phone but since you can no longer download metrotube i am reluctant. Any help would be great.
I should refer you to my thread:

I had the same problem. It turns out that APN settings have to be re-entered using the ADD APN or EDIT APN button for your carrier after the latest update for WP7.
Hey thanks for the reply, i am on optus also but i have a unlocked HD7 which i purchased from mobicity.com.au, i use the HTC auto configuration app which is compatible with optus to set up my apn original.
Perhaps Optus has changed some settings as my brothers HD7 has the same problem. What apn settings did you add or did you get optus to send them out to your phone ?. I know with my previous phones when setting an APN for say mobile data there was separate sections to do so ie internet, mms but under WP7 it seems as if there is only one APN section.
Think i fixed it i just changed the celluar settings from Automatic to Yes Optus then added internet as the apn and it seems to be working fine now. I am so glad some one else had the problem it was driving me nuts.
No worries at all mate. It was driving me nuts as well. Its apparently a common (relatively) problem for people on optus since the last update. Glad its all fixed.
i have a galaxy SIII that i updated to jelly bean 4.1.2 using a thread from this site : this thread to be exact http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
the phone and text messages work great on a T-mobile SIM card ...i switched it to global mode.
the internet works while on WIFI only ....when i go outside no internet .....so i found that my APN setting are not right, but under the menu the APN settings are locked, giving no option for adjustment
so i found an APP that will change the APN setting however it needs root access and come to find out the phone is nbot rooted ....the root technique from the thread above wont work.
any suggestions how i can root and/or unlock my APN setting so i can get internet outside WIFI zone?
My father is using Tab2 (P3100). Running Stock OS, Unrooted. 3G Data Connection from Vodafone Delhi India.
since a month or so back he found a update notice and upgraded the Stock Firmware to Latest 4.1.2 using WIFI
Not sure but might be since then, Whenever he's On Roaming, Data Connection Won't work.
Currently He's in U.P. circle it won't connect, Voda has 3G Service here, And I use it everyday at home/city wide.
Tried following:-
1). Checked APN Settings, they are correct.
2). Checked Data Roaming in Mobile Networks.
3). Tried Switching to GSM Only, and WDMA Only, WCDMA/GSM Auto Option, All options same result.
4). Checked wifi is OFF, and Data Connection IS Enabled, using Widgets or APPS but it won't turn on
5). Took out the SIM from Tab2, and Inserted In my Android Phone and 3G/2G Connects Instantly.
6). Put A different SIM which is from my Region but as its not On Roaming, Data Works fine.
7). Checked with operator they have no clue whats wrong in the TAB.
8). Requested Fresh APN Settings from Operator and saved it, But Tab2 won't connect.
Can someone shed some light if this is a BUG in current latest firmware of Tab2 or I am getting and my brain fails to finds a solution.
Any help will be appreciated, don't let me down my fellow members pleaseeeeee
Hi everyone,
I have a d2vzw running Carbon ROM Kitkat. I spent the weekend back in the UK and enabled global mode, which connected to Vodafone's GSM/HSDPA network using the original Verizon SIM. So I had phone and SMS service - no problems at all.
However, I couldn't get a data connection. It was connected to the HSDPA network (enhanced 3G). Under Settings-->More...-->Mobile networks there is the option ("Access Point Names") to choose an APN. However, none showed up. I tried to add an APN manually, but as soon as I set Vodafone's MCC and MNC, it refused to save the APN info.
Oddly enough, the correct APN settings are all on the phone in Carbon ROMs "apns-conf.xml" file, they're just not showing up.
I tried everything to remedy this, but no luck.
So, here are two questions to harvest your collective wisdom:
First, is there a solution to this? I like Carbon ROM, but I have to have global data access for my work. If I can get my d2vzw running Carbon connected to international GSM networks and APN for internet, then I'd really like to.
Second, does anyone know of a KitKat ROM that DOES do this properly on the d2vzw?
Thank you so much,
M
I haven't checked in on AOSP ROMs in a while, but last time I did, none of them could do this, you need to run a Touchwiz-based ROM. AOSP ROMs like Carbon use a reverse-engineered radio interface which is not quite as good as the Samsung one which is included with TW ROMs, and this is one problem with it.
The bottom line is that if you want all the hardware features of your phone to work, you have to use a TW-based ROM, because Samsung hasn't opened up the hardware.

Thanks, Jacquestrapp. That's helpful. Perhaps I will flash a TW-based ROM and then keep it as a nandroid backup for when I go travelling.
I have been using my Verizon S3 in the Philippines as an international phone for months with excellent service. I am able to connect to the GSM network and transmit data at H+ speeds. I am on CM 10.1.3 official on Baseband MF1 and have been able to successfully switch to GSM using the PhoneInfo app. To assign proper APNs, I use the HiAPN app. Be very careful with Phone info: I once broke my connectivity messing with the settings too much ("Select radio band") and had to revert to Twiz and turn on the GSM bands using the "secret menu" to turn those back on. If you have a Twiz backup, try dialing *#2263# to choose the bands your phone has access to (seems impossible on other ROMs) if you keep having problems.
The thread here (see post 106) is enormously helpful.
The info about Twiz and reverse engineering is useful -- I haven't been able to get reliable service beyond CM 10.1.3 (very low signal, inability to send SMS, but somehow can receive SMS and voice calls), so I have been sticking to 10.1.3, unfortunately. I want to upgrade to 4.4, but haven't been able to do it without breaking GSM functionality. Has anyone gotten GSM and data to work on a 4.4 ROM?

So do i. I can't connect to data. I'm come from Vietnam
Hello,
I've been putting off asking the question as I thought that somebody else had to have gone through this already but I've had poor luck looking through the forum and Google hasn't been able to help.
I'll be traveling to Italy in the near future with my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (Build KOT49H.I535VRUDNE1). I would like to pick up a TIN or WIND SIM while I'm there, primarily for data usage. From what I've read, once I install the 3rd party SIM, I'll need to update the APN settings to get data to work.
Stock, it looks like the APN settings are uneditable. I rooted the phone with towelroot (if only everything were so easy) and then checked the APN settings to see if I could add another network. No dice.
Poking around on the web, it looks like in the past, people have been able to work around this by downloading build prop editor and adding the following two lines:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
I gave this a shot and was surprised to see the APN menu gone when I went back into my network settings. Through trial and error, I determined that the inclusion of ro.csc.sale_code=LOL changes my Mobile Networks options from:
- Mobile Data
- Global Data Roaming Access
- Roaming
- Signal Strength
- Network Mode
- Access Point Names
- Network Operators
to:
- Mobile Data
- Data Roaming
- Network Mode (GSM is not an option in here)
- System Select
- Dial Up Networking
There is no option to modify APN settings there. Am I missing something silly? Did something change in KitKat 4.4.2 that has caused this approach to "unlocking" the APN settings to become invalid? Is everything really ok and I'll have access to the APN settings when I insert the italian carrier's SIM card?
I'm game for other approaches as well. At one point, I thought I saw an article that talked about setting up a pointer to the APN settings prior to updating the prop file but I haven't been able to relocate that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Aaron
In the event somebody else is looking for the answer, I got my hands on a TIM sim card today, installed it in the phone and the APN menu reappeared and let me enter a new APN. Looks like the answer as of today for this phone is TowelRoot, SuperSU, BuildProp and install the 3rd party sim.
Take care,
Aaron
