I a sprint S5 working on consumer cellular network (AT&T/T). I can not get a network signal in my home so I am trying to get wifi calling to work. I get a 'network connection error'. I definitely have a wifi connection because I can access the web, download apps etc.
I have AT&T firmware but it will not load. So I think I have to change the CSC and/or Model Name.
Any comments or help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Hi, and thanks for reading. I'll be brief and clear as much as possible.
I am using:
Samsung Nexus S
Android OS 2.3.6 GRK39F
T-mobile US
My issue:
A secure connection (or https) cannot be established over 3G or 2G network.
it works fine over WiFi access.
Additional Info:
I used to have H2O wireless which uses AT&T's 2G Network, and I didn't have any problem like this.
Contacted T-mobile tech support and set APN settings as instructed, but still did not work.
This issue results in:
The phone cannot use Google services (Gmail, Market,etc.) native to the phone as well as apps that require authentication (facebook, twitter, etc.) over 3G or 2G network. In order to get around this, I have to connect to WIFI first to authenticate then it works fine over 3G or 2G.
Thank you again guys, and I am looking forward to getting your professional help.
T-mobile's new Monthly 4G plan may have a problem in their Data Network??
Actually, I found out that it's not my phone's problem, but it could be the problem of T-mobile network.
I've found a thread in t-mobile support page where a bunch of people complaining about the same problem.
They all bought t-mobile's Monthly 4G plan that just came out (Oct 16, 2011), which offers 100min talk, unlimited text, unlimited data (with 5GB throttling)
They are complaining that they cannot get https connection over 3G or 2G Data Network regardless of their cell phone.
I tried to post an outside link, but the forum does not allow me since I am new here.
This issue has been resolved.
The link in the prior reply now shows a solution to this issue.
Virtually, the "Web Guard" feature on the plan was causing the mess.
You can turn off the feature by yourself on tmobile website, or by calling their customer service.
They say it may take up to 2 hours for the action to fully take effect.
I have got a Samsung Galxy S3 Neo(GT 19301I) from Dubai as a gift and since I am a residential of India,I couldn't access the network because of country lock.I took it to a Samsung Service Centre,they said though it is not done genuinely by their engineers,but he could individually give a try wih his souces to unlock the country lock.It also got unlocked(rooted) but a problem still persisted.I got a sim into it and accessed the network.There was no problem in the connection.I accessed the internet and there was the main problem.My network mode was set to GSM/WCDMA, so I got a internet connection of edge.The arrows of internet had some problem.So I gave a try to switch my network mode to WCDMA only and got a HSPA connection.My internet had worked great on HSPA connection.Now there is a problem with the 3G connection in my area so my network does not provide me any connection on WCDMA mode and so I had to move to Auto mode.Now the problem is that I cannot access interent with EDGE mode.The arrows get highlighted but I don't get any service in surfing or chatting.I am not able to understand whats the problem with my EDGE mode???It doesn't give me any internet outgoing and incoming.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I'd try asking for help in your device specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo. Check your apn and make sure it's soup for your carrier.
Thread closed.
no matter what ROM i use, no matter in what manner I flash said ROM, my XT1548 simply will NOT connect to mobile data . the problem seems to be that a cellular signal needs to be established in order to "activate" the SIM. (I guess this isnt a problem with contract phones). however, I cannot get a cellular signal at all. Ive tried airplane toggle, cellular toggle APN, you name it. I just want a working ROM that lets me use my US Cellular registration . I will post any logs or whatever I need to help. but can anyone help out here? it seems that with VIRGIN the problem was solved within CM13 (virgin "data anywhere" or whatever it was). but how can the US Cellular version be helped?
Does Rooting allow phone calls and web browsing at the same time on Sprint Galaxy S8 ? Is the phone capable of this. Does it have enough/the right radios?
No, current Sprint phones do not call and data simultaneously over 3G or LTE, including the S8. Rooting has nothing to do with it.
please explain
OK, you say rooting has nothing to do with it. How does an Samsung phone on Sprint prevent concurrent data and voice on LTE when Samsung phone on Verizon allows concurrent data and voice.
It has to be hardware or software on the phone or the network that prevents this.
Is the hardware inside the phone the same which suggests to me the phone's functionality is "throttled" by the phone software or by the network itself, hence my question about whether this can be overcome via rooting the phone.
You apparently can get free hotspot through root, why not call + data?? If you can't I'll accept the reality (I am not looking for alternative facts), just that your answer was insufficient to persuade me that my logic is wrong.
Thanks,

Sprint doesn't have voice over LTE ....yet. Apparently they are working on software solutions to whatever their network issues are. Found this post from about a month ago on the sprint community site.
Sprint is excited to announce a new solution which allows customers to use voice and data simultaneously while on the Sprint LTE network or WiFi. Calling PLUS has just been enabled on the Samsung J7 Perx, with more devices to receive the update soon!
What you need to know:
Calling PLUS combines two features: one old and one brand new!
WiFi calling - our VoIP calling feature that lets you make and receive calls over WiFi
Voice and text on the Sprint LTE network, allowing simultaneous voice and data
Calling PLUS is delivered to your device by software update. Once your device has received the software, set up is easy!
On the phone, select Settings > Calling PLUS.
Slide Calling PLUS to On.
Customer can view Tutorial pages to learn more information about the service.
View pre-populated address
If the Country field says Non-USA, Select the Country and choose USA.
Enter a USA address manually.
If address is not shown or is incorrect, enter the address manually.
Address must be within the USA.
Select Save.
Your phone will validate the address required for E911 service and completes the enablement of Calling PLUS.
Select Calling PLUS options to enable each feature:
Wi-Fi Calling is On by default.
LTE Calling is optional but recommended to allow both Simultaneous Voice and Data and call handoffs between Wi-Fi Calling and LTE Calling.
Call handoffs will go from Wi-Fi to LTE even if the LTE Calling switch is Off. LTE Calls require the Wi-Fi Calling switch to be turned On for a handoff to Wi-Fi.
That's it! Your phone is now enabled for Calling PLUS. You can call anyone using Calling PLUS, the person or party that you're calling does not need to have Calling PLUS in order for it to work.
Keep in mind:
Calling PLUS is included free of charge with your Sprint plan, though data usage does count toward any metered data allotment.
Calling PLUS is a only available to select devices at this time and only in areas with LTE service. We will add more device models over time.
Calling PLUS is not a VoLTE solution and call quality can vary based on location and network conditions.
Calling PLUS is only supported on the Sprint LTE network and will not work over roaming partner networks.
Calls initiated while on LTE will not hand off to CDMA towers. When leaving an LTE area, such a call may drop.
Have questions about Calling plus? Ask us here! Have you received the update on your device? Tell us how it's working for you so far.
Hi,
I found one short thread about this. But are we sure that there is no other way to use Wifi Calling ? I have a non-network phone, an LG G7. I don't want to change it ATM. Why do the networks tie Wifi Calling to the firmware like this and is there any way round it ? Cheers.
With my carrier, Wifi Calling only works with its SIM on any phone with any firmware on which Carrier Services runs or can be installed. No SIM no Wifi Calling.
You can look for services that will connect you via vpn and allow WiFi Calling, but you are always identified. Calls cannot be anonymous.
