[Q] No 3G or 2G Icon/not able to Use Packet Data (GPRS) with Correct/Working Apn's - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I just bought my self a Galaxy S i9000 (16GB) and a BSNL (3G) Sim card.
Now Both Work great ie. i am getting good cell range.
Calls and Sms are working perfectly but the issue here is that the phone is not showing wether it is on 2G or 3G or wether it is using EDGE/GPRS/3G
And also i am not able to use packet data
i tried every combination in the book for configuring the Apn's and acess points but still no luck the phone just dosen't connect to the internet via GPRS and even that "E" icon dosent show up!!
Tried Settings>>Wireless and network>>Mobile networks and change Network mode to GSM/WCDMA(auto mode)
And also i dont have the option "Use packet data" under "Mobile networks"?
i just cant understad why the phone doest acess the internet with GPRS when it does acess the internet beautifuly over WIFI
I am running 2.1 and the latest Firmware Version
(just as it came out of the box and i haven't installed any lag fixes)
available here in INDIA!
(well dont know when we here are gona get the FROYO update via Kies )
Please help me get this phone connected to the internet via Packet Data

The "Use packet data" option exists in only 2.2, not in 2.1
As far as ur internet connectivity problems are concerned, I think BSNL requires around 72 hours to activate the 2G/3G services on any phone. So I assume ur net has started working by now!

On my last visit to India I used BSNL too and I remember that I had to buy a special recharge voucher in order to get the data service activated. It didn't work out of the box. Further the 3g settings were different from the standard ones that BSNL uses.

How to force wifi when available?

Ok, this was working fine on the original AT&T ROM, but since I flashed to dutty's ROM, I cant get it to work. How do I force the phone to use wifi for net access when wifi is turned on, as opposed to medianet? Currently, I have to keep manually switching from medianet to "my work connection" in connection settings.
You can use Kaiser Tweak to set it to disconnect the GPRS connection after a set amount of minutes of inactivity. Then, when you enable WiFi, it should connect ONLY to WiFi.
I think the OP needs to sort out his "work" and his "internet" instead of just trying to turn off radio data.
I have medianet set to internet and my wifi set to work...not really clear what "work" is....just want to automatically use wifi when wifi is connected, and cant find the option to do that.
Anybody???
I did set both connections to "work".
Additionally I added my tmobile gprs connection to the work profile.
All seems to work great.
I can acces my network shares over wifi and connect to the internet. When no wifi is available it connects via gprs.
I keep getting confused on this same issue. i installed the same rom we are talking about. it shows up for me when setting up email accounts. with my wifi turned on, it still tries to go out the 3g connection. I want it to use wifi if that is what is turned on and i think that was working on the death star rom. For the drop down that says "The Internet" I basically want that to point to wifi if on then fall back to 3g. How do we do that?
It should not be named "work".
So whats the solution here?
Under Connections....Select which networks are automatically used:
Programs that connect to the internet should connect using ???
I can either choose Medianet or my work network, I'd like for it to use wifi when available, how is this done?
Programs that connect to a private network should connect using ???
I have this set to my work network.
Easy Solution to 'Auto Wifi"
Buy an Iphone, works seemlessly, and you get a browser too which works, something these HTC phones havn't had in 3 years.
The easiest way to force wifi (since gprs can be acting as a ***** ), is to keep wlan enabled and to install the NOGPRS.cab (aka the modaco nodata plugin) which allows you to disable (but keep) the gprs settings and which you can toggle on (and back off) when needed.
Great little app, saves much annoyance!
Is there an easy way to toggle wi-fi on/off, that can be assigned to an icon or button? At the moment I have to open Comm Manager each time and do it from there.

Wifi and 3G

Hi
I just finished setting up Wifi and it works perfect. Is there any way i can make the Diamond use the Wifi connection for programs if such connection exist? Currently it alwasy open a 3G connection even if Wifi is enabled, which kinda sucks, since 3G traffic dont come cheap
So what i want is, if Wifi connection exist use that, else open a 3G connection.
Best regards
Mads
Yes, there is a way. Just go to settings-->connectins tab-->connections-->advanced tab-->select networks and select the one you want to use.
In WIFI settings you have to select the same connection at the "connect to" option!
regards
Hi demacus
Thanks for the reply, but I have some trouble following you guide. First in my Select networks I have to networks, “3” and “Arbejde”. 3 is the name of my ISP and the one that’s currently selected to be used by programs needing access to the internet. In my Wifi “Connect To” option I can’t select the “3” I can only select between “Arbejde” and “Internet” which is just to default networks.
So my question is still the same, how do I make the diamond use a wifi connection if one is present else enable a 3G connection and use that.
Best regards
Mads
Err... in my case, the way it works is.. if I connect to the Wifi, then 3g gets disabled for as long as I am connected to a Wifi network..
If Wifi is available and you ARE CONNECTED (just available isn't good enough, you have to be connected), my Touch Diamond doesn't use the 3G.

Select Connect to The Internet
Hey L o r d R a j
The Internet option i am talking about have a description saying that its for use when connection to a VPN connection. My Wifi is active and if i change the setting in the Connection tab to use "Mit Arbejdsnetværk" the wifi works perfect for the browser etc.
Not sure what I or the danish rom i have is doing wrong. But i cant get it to use the wifi if its there, if not use the 3G.
If anyone have any ideas please let me know, thanks
Best regards

hd7 and gprs problem

hi
recently i bought hd7, but my gprs internet connection wont work sometimes, what should i do ?
i have tried different settings, but it didnt help. sometimes it connects , but most of the time it doesnt connect !
Did you turn on the roaming option under the celluar settings? It might be on the "Don't roam" option, so it actually stops the data connection once you enter a roaming area.
thnx it seems working now
