I flashed the factory images for 5.0.1 and now have no mobile data. Can make and revieve calls as well as text messages but thats it. Tried fixing permissions through twrp and got a boot loop. Reatored back.... Dont have an option to change apn settings. Go to cellular network settings and no option there for apn. Thinking ill have to reflash factory images but hoping there was another option.
I have an option for APN. I click settings, more, cellular networks, access point names.

I have checked there and there is no option in the list for apn. Not sure why it isnt but other places i have looked on the internet said it should be in the same place you said.

i don't have the option for sprint system updates....im on mts its a canadian carrier for the province of manitoba if this helps anythign
Sorry I was looking at my phone... what about regular "system updates"
the only thing in the about phone page is status battery use and legal info...the rest is just info.....might i add im on oxygen rom
ok so i went back to stock rom and there were system updates however when i clicked on it...it says system up to date. Im starting to get worried here.
Is there some easy trick to getting the 3G mobile data to work? It is greyed out in the top RH icon. Only wi-fi works for internet connection. What am I missing!? I have "set mobile limit" checked off no diff. I have a good signal just stays greyed out.
Have you tried switching modems?
Have you went to apn and made sure it's on your network. You have to go to system settings, data, more, mobile networks then access point names.

I flipped back to gingerbread but I have the CWM so I can easily flipp back to ICS. How do I change modems in ICS?? I am in Ontario with Rogers but when the phone boots it flashes AT&T and there are some AT&T apps.
Also found ICS wouldn't play several video formats and made the external SD hard to find. It would be woth a try if I could get it on the mobile data network I am paying for.
shaker2K: does that menu allow me to select from multiple access point names? on the other OS's it usually is only a status of the only network activated?
Thanks for any help though I am new to all this!
Anyone else have the problem of not being able to receive text messages while roaming? I'm in an area where I am constantly switching back and forth between not-roaming and roaming and I only seem to get texts when I am on T-mobile's towers. Any thoughts or comments? Thanks
Did you select in messaging app settings to receive messages while roaming?

Yes I did. Isn't that only for mms and not SMS though? The only roaming setting is under the mms section

Yes, as far as I know, it's only for MMS, because you are supposed to receive SMS anytime when you have a network.
1- Did you flash a new rom recently? If so, I'd suggest you to reflash the rom and try again.
2- You could try to go under your carrier settings and choose manually your carrier.
3- If it doesn't work, contact your carrier's technical support to see if it could be something that is disabled in your account regarding roaming.

I have flashed most of the roms for this phone and it seems to do it regardless of the rom. What are the carrier settings that you are talking about?

Under Wireless & network settings > Mobile network settings > Network operators. You could try to play with these settings (mobile network settings) to see if it works one way or another. Now, if you tried several roms and it still doesn't work, it may be a hardware problem or a network problem (T-Mobile). I would try to fix it with the settings first, and if the problem persists, call tech support.

Ok, I have played with those settings. I just wasn't sure which ones you were talking about originally. The kicker is I'm in an area (Orono, ME) where I am constantly switching between T-mobile and USA Unicel (roaming) and if I set those Network Operator settings to just T-mobile then I get service in certain areas and then nothing in others. I guess I'll just have to try customer support unless someone can come up with another possible solution.
I recently bought 2 - Verizon Samsung galaxy s3's. I coverted both of them to straight talk and the one phone I have absolutely no problems with. Mobile data is a little slow but from what I've read that's pretty common. I followed the exact same steps for the second phone and I cannot get the mobile data to work. When I go in to change and create a new apn I CAN"T. It should have the LTE-Verizon apn grayed out and then I should be able to create the new apn but NOTHING shows up. No LTE-Verizon apn and it doesn't give me the option to create a new apn.
How can I change the apn on this phone so that I can use the mobile data?
Do I have to root this phone?
If I root it do I have to unlock the bootloader in order to root it?
Is there a way to change the apn settings and create a new apn without rooting or unlocking the bootloader?

Do you have a simm in both phones? You need to to have them the same.
Once you install a simm you should be able to do what you want.

yes I do and both phones can make calls. I need to find a way to change the apn on the one phone. It only shows a restore to default when I hit the menu button. Verizon - lte greyed out apn isn't there either
I was out in the country trying to get my phone connected to a network as the rest of my family (same plan) had connections with their iphones. Low and behold a new setting shows up in mobile networks that I had not seen before, Access Point Names. My biggest mistake was changing settings in something I knew nothing about but I did and pressed restore factory default. Once I reached an area that had a data connection, it seemed all worked well until I tried to send a text. I soon found out I couldn't send or receive any texts/calls.
I've flashed to stock, updated prl, and nothing has worked. I tried to change apn settings using those from this site 4GLTE, but it proved futile. Now I'm stuck and more frustrated than I was before I couldn't get service.
I feel like an idiot and really could use some help! Thanks!

call your carrier and check your apn setting with them. Fastest and easiest way.
