Hello, I bought an unlocked version of the sensation originally from bell to use on AT&T. I had an iPhone 4 which had a mini sim and went to AT&T to switch it out, they gave me a normal sim but the data didn't work. I went there today to ask them about it and they tried to manually put in the APN settings, but had no luck. Does anyone know what the problem may be? Thanks in advance.
Do you guys think this is AT&T's problem? Could it be a problem with the sim change because I got text on the new phone saying"thank you for upgrading your phone" could it have taken away the data?
Just call them and check. You should be able to add the unlimited non smartphone data for $15 and still get the same 3g speeds. Tell them you switched to a dumb phone and give the sensation imei if they ask. Their system won't be able to recognize that you are using a smartphone.
If you need apn settings let me know, the default wap.cingular should work fine.

Folks, I need all of your help.
I have bought three Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 phones in the US. This was purchased via the corporate program. I was told this is a global phone and I cannot use GSM SIM cards if I am in India.
Verizon also told me the phone would be global only after the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update. The phone is upgraded with the newest verzion of 4.1.2.
Now, the phones are in India. I insert the local GSM Sim (Airtel / Vodafone) and cannot seem to be make it work.
1. With Airtel SIM, I played around with the Global Network Mode and GSM and CDMA etc.. I seem to get Airtel listed as a network and when I select it, it says "unable to connect, try later". The same happens whatever I do.
1. With Vodafone SIM, I inserted the SIM, turned on, set it to Global and it picks up the network in a jiffy BUT when I make a call it says Mobile Network not available or when someone calls to this number says it's switched off, but the tower comes up and says Vodafone IN at the top but nothing happens.
I then searched XDA, I found solutions for the APN settings etc.. and the Phone Info tool to change it to Global etc.. but nothing seems to be working. I also rooted the phone, put on a Synergy ROM and still the same problem.
I called Verizon Global Support and they do their usual blah blah and says that if their SIM works and since there is no other complaint they cannot do anything about it. Local carrier support in India have no clue at all.
I have seen in the forum that some say it works in India with an Airtel SIM too but why not me. Just in case I bought a new replacement SIM from Airtel 64k and that doesnt work too.
I need urgent help since I have bought three phones and all three of them doesnt work.

Thanks for your post. I did try the steps in the link but no go. It's soooo frustrating. I get to the point to select my networks, but when I select, it says "unable to connect, try later". Could it be GSM Band problems?. I even get Airtel for a sec and then it says emergency calls only.
just check below thread and check if you have issue with imei

Hey I have the same problem. I have a Verizon Samsung SIII and I can't seem to get the data working. Voice calls work just fine. But I spent hours getting data to work, but no luck. The problem seems to the lack of APNs when you look for one. I think Verizon has locked the device in a way, even on 4.1.2, that you can only use their SIM card to "see" an APN. I'm getting furious with Verizon locking the devices.
Please let me know if you figure out a way. I'm in India for a funeral and for a very short amount of time. I need the data working so that I can stream the ceremony back home. Vzw is a sack of duesch for pulling such moves. Grrrrrrr!!!!

Install and open "phone info". Navigate to 'Device Information'. Scroll down to 'Set preferred network type'. Select 'GSM Auto(PRL)'. If this network type doesn't work try with other.

Hi, Even in phone info it shows the network as Vodaone. However I am not able to make any changes in the Phone info app. Can you please guide what to do next?
Also I would like to inform that I rooted the phone and made the APN manager as the system app, with this 3g data for vodafone is working perfectly. And I see the signal bars at the top as well. Only problem is calling and texting.. Don't know what's the reason could be. Please suggest if someone else have experiences this problem.

I have a Verizon Galaxy S6. I am on Tmobile network. My phone comes up with the above listed error and won't allow updates or allow me to use the Internet while I'm on the phone. I'm not tech smart. Can anyone walk me through how to correct this ?
I had a similar issue when I got mine. I'm in Canada on Koodo (telus). I had to manually enter my APN information for Koodo (T-Mobile in your case) and then I used the SmartSwitch PC application to update to the latest Android version.
You won't get OTA updates on a nonVerizon sim I believe. It always times out.
As for the notification, it'll clear away and won't cause any issues really. It's annoying but harmless.

I hope this help you.

I'm unable to get it setup on my Note4. I get the incredibly useful message "Backend error" from the AT&T site after I enter the sync code on their site.
Is this a temporary issue you think, or is it just the usual incompetence of an inept software developer who can't be bothered to give meaningful results to help narrow down the cause of an error?
Is it working for everyone else?
Yep, getting the same error message. Hope this is temporary!
I was having a similar issue. On my Gear S3 when trying to get the sync code, it kept giving an error message. Finally after 9:30 central time I was able to generate the code and get it synced. I think the system was overloaded with all the at&t pre-orders being delivered yesterday.
Anyone have AT&T S3 but linking to S7E 935F International phone? Keep trying to set up Numbersync but it connects to my wife's 935A. It won't see my phone. I am running Hydra Rom but the watch is connected with Bluetooth no problem.
For numbersync to be setup, you have to have a username for myatt for that exact phone. Then it will allow you to setup numbersync if that phone is HD voice capable.
I set it up on my Axon 7 without any problems.
Just tried again, same error message

According to AT&T International S7E (Exynos) is not compatible with LTE Frontier watch on AT&T due to no HD voice? Can use Bluetooth, but not the Numbersync. I'm pretty PO'd right now as that was why I bought it.
Anybody getting this to work yet?
I have not been able to get it to work. I am using an unlocked tmobile note 4. When I called I was told it was because it was not an at&t phone. What if I change the build prop to 910A from 910T? Would that be enough for it to work? Dont want to try and mess things up.

Hi I'm new to this forum. Like OP, I also have a Note 4 ATT LTE and had the same Numbersync error. Here is how I resolved my issue after extensive research:
1) Make sure to enable HD Voice on your phone if supported (for Note 4: Settings->More networks->Mobile networks->Mobile data->check Enhanced LTE Services (mine was unchecked)
2) Before even attempting to sync via Numbersync, make sure that your cell phone number is set as primary in My ATT account. I didn't have a primary number set, so I tried making the Gear S3's number primary (when I was prompted to add one) and it didn't work properly. So I learned it's essential your PHONE (the one you intend to connect with S3) is set as primary, NOT another phone/tablet/wearable line in your account.
3) After all the initial errors and hassles thereafter, I just reset the S3 after following my above instructions and the sync was seamless and I was up and running.
Hope this helps...it certainly worked for me!
Is your phone stock? Rooted? Custom rom? AT&T branded phone?
Yes! That worked, thank you!

The red pointer is for the chronograph function. It does not move unless you tap it to start the chrono. Bad design in my opinion.
Soo no one here might have an iPhone they were able to get numbersync to work on with the leaked iOS app?
Has anyone got Numbersync to work on International S7E 935F?
I have number sync working with my Nexus 6P, spent about an hour in the AT&T store working with the salesperson that sold me my Frontier. He was under the belief that it was tied to IMEI numbers so he supposedly cloned my wife's IMEI number to my 6P which didn't work. I told him that I read that HD Voice/VoLTE had to be enabled and because I had a Nexus 6P that was the problem. So he called support and asked them to enable HD Voice on my line. While he was doing that I was googling, found this thread: https://forums.att.com/t5/Device-Features/Nexus-6P-No-HD-Voice-and-Wifi-Calling/td-p/4346076 and followed this guide:
Navigate to Settings > More > Cellular Networks and enable the toggle switch for "Enhanced" 4G LTE Mode. However, if the toggle is missing then follow the steps provided below:
Launch the Dialer app on your phone, and dial*#*#4636#*#*.
Choose Phone information.
Enable or select VoLTE Provisioned Flag.
Restart the phone.
Go to Settings " More " Cellular networks and toggle the switch for Enhanced 4G LTE Mode, and the HD Voice calling feature should now be activated on your device running Android 5.1 and above.

I enabled the VoLTE option, restarted my phone and sure enough when I went back into the MyATT webpage I was now offered the ability to enter in a sync code and it worked. He was never able to get support to enable HD Voice on their end. Going back into the setting it shows that VoLTE isn't active, I have no HD Voice option or feature in the Enhanced 4G LTE options at all but my number is indeed synced. I left my phone at home, walked the dogs and made 2 phone calls and the number did go over as my cell number.
Now the other thing he mentioned that should work is to use an approved AT&T phone that has HD Voice capabilities enabled. Then if I were to put my SIM in that phone, wait for the MyATT webpage to update showing that this other phone was tied to my number, then perform the number sync at this point it should also work, once it's enabled it won't go away according to the ATT rep. I didn't need to do that so I can't confirm but it sounds reasonable.
Hey Guys and Gals,

It says Verizon s7 in your post.......Verizon s7's come unlocked for most GSM carriers. Sounds like it could possibly be a network problem, sim card problem, or maybe incorrect APN settings. Could actually be a lot of things really but thats what comes to mind first. If I were you I would start over. Flash Verizon or U firmware and go from there, the U firmware can be found in the ATT s7 section.
