[Q] Don't seem to ever get 3g, Only edge.

Hello, I have a Rogers Captivate running the latest Phoenix ROM. Default jk4 modem. I have noticed that Internet is very slow, It seems to be connecting to edge only, I say this because of the E on the top.. Can someone help me figure out why ? Edge reminds me of dial-up!

add this apn, might fix it:
Name: Rogers
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
MMSC: ://mms.gprs.rogers "add a http at beginning and a dot com at the end"
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 720

I tried your suggestion and it still says edge
when I go into phone info, it shows its edge there too... how can I trouble shoot it to see why ?
Is it my ROM ?

Settings, wireless networks, mobile networks, I think there should be another option there that allows you to toggle 2g and 3g. Worth a shot

I think the 3rd post on the phoenix thread it says something about network connection

[Q] 3G connectivity Problem - Fido Canada

Hello,
I have a GT-P1000 that I am trying to connect to the Fido network's 3G/H 850/1900 without much success.
I am currently running the Overcome Stock Safe firmware and have gone through a number of modems trying to achieve the networks full potential.
So far all I can get is G/Edge.... would be KILLER to get it running on 3G/H!!!
I am curious if there any other Fido customers out there that have tried to get the Galaxy tab up and running on the Fido network.
Thanks

Someone else was complaining about the same problem. I sent him through everything I could think of and it's a no-go. The euro tab doesn't like the North America 1900mhz 3g band.

Hmmm..
Is it a firmware issue or modem issue? Or are you saying I have a TAB that is pretty much neutered in North America when it comes to 3G?
Thanks for the reply.
B.B.

He flashed every modem - so it's the chip.

Thank you
I am very happy to post that I have resolved my issue regarding the lack of connectivity in my region.
It was in fact a modem issue.
I found the solution on this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273
I followed the instructions on that thread to test the modem under the ROM prescribed there... it worked on all available bands in my region, and proceeded to use just the modem along with the overcome ROM, and again success.
I am attaching the modem for any other Canadian Fido users encountering this problem. Hope it I can pay it forward.
Thank you again for all you help.
Great support structure here at XDA!!

That's the recommended modem for North America, included in the Team Overcome download. Your baseband will say i9000JK3.
How did you miss that modem when you flashed all the modems in the stickie?

That is the kicker,
I did in fact try the JK3 modem that came with the Overcome download, and it did not function. At all.
I am/was left wondering this myself.
This modem specifically, this time... after going through the process of reverting back to 2.2 from the url in my post...
Worked.
I, in no way claim to understand why. LOL!!
Just thanking for all the great help.

[Q] No Data Connectivity after Overcome Flash

I just flashed Overcome 3.1 on the my ATT Galaxy Tab 7. The rom is super smooth. Everything appeared to go flawlessly however once completed I was unable to establish a proper data connection.
Its shows 4 bars and says connected to ATT as the "Network" under the Status menu. However the "Mobile Network State" is listed as disconnected.
If I go into the Mobile Network Settings. Under Network Operators ATT is listed under Auto Connect and if I rescan it accepts the choice and then says Registered on Network.
I cannot browse the internet. I called ATT and they were able to send me a SMS so there is some sort of connection. We could not troubleshoot any further as there systems are down.
I did a vanilla Overcome Install. Is there a post install step that I need to do? I seem to remember a similar issue with my Dell Streak that involved modifying my APN settings. Here are the APN settings for the device. (these are the Overcome defaults i believe)
Name: ATT
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
User name: [email protected]
Password: blank
Sever: leave blank (Will read: <not set>)
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: none
APN type: internet+mms

I read this on this forum somewhere, and has always worked for me when reflashing. This is ONLY for the Pay as You Go data service to my knowledge. Your mileage may vary.
I changed my APN to the following EXACTLY:
Name: Broadband
APN: Broadband
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
User name: blank
Password: blank
Sever: leave blank (Will read: <not set>)
MMSC: not set (delete whats in here)
MMS proxy: not set (delete whats in here)
MMS port: not set (delete whats in here)
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: none
APN type: internet
I always get a connection this way. No MMS, but I don't use it anyway, that's what my phone is for.

The "broadband" apn is only for the sim card that came with a stock at&t tab, and not for the sim cards we all took from other phones.
For the former phone sim cards, wap.cingular or isp.cingular apn's.
The setting should be to "auto".
You didn't mention your modem - baseband.

Baseband: I9000UGJK3
Modem: I am not sure how to verify this on the device (Im an n00b). I did follow the wonderful guide on Team Overcome and it recommended using "JK3 Modem" During the install. I would assume this is what I am using. How can I verify this?
PS. I wapped in my phone SIM card and everything works just fine. I can even make phone calls!

This did the trick! I used these settings with the replacement SIM card they gave me at the ATT store...

Good job. The baseband is the modem, so you are using JK3 - that's the best choice for you.

Question: No DATA on US ATT Unlocked Eurospec

Just got my Note straight from the UK, unlocked. Been on the phone with ATT about 6 times. I can send and recieve calls, texts - but no DATA. They can't seem to figure out why it will not pick up the ATT Data Network. Sim, EIN all linked, but no joy.
I am a noob, sorry - any ideas. I hate to send the phone back.
Any ideas ?
Update - Funk2641's response below (no APN was entered) - fixed it the issue.
Still, ATT would not give me a 4G smartphone plan - even though the H+ shows up next to the clock ? Initial Speedtests look like the same as my Infuse, Atrix and 4S.
Thanks everybody (Funk2641) for your help ! I hope this thread saves some agony for many as this phone is hitting the states. Don't know if I will tread in Eurospec for the Nexus, as I will want to hold that one in my hand first.
Also, this is a great phone - speed, battery life and the screen is fantastic !

No, I will give it a try.
Thx.

please keep posted.....I'll be on Att Friday

I will follow this thread since I will also switch from T-mobile to AT&T.

I too have the same issues. I actually used a few different apns and got edge to work poorly, I sighed and told myself ICS would fix it all up better and to just enjoy the extra battery life of 2g now, God I hope a get this cleared up
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Technically, the Note is just a big SGS2. There's no reason on the phone side you should be having a problem using the Cingular APN. I'm using a ISGS2 and a UK 3G Tab 10.1 on AT&T with no problem. It's either something with the provisioning of your account or your Note may not have the right bands (Asian?). The latter is unlikely if you ordered it from the UK. Try reseting the APN to default under network settings. Also, if you're on a legit 4G plan there's a specific APN that you can find on the ASGS2 forum.

Here is another APN that works, I had the same issue
For APN settings use the name ATT and then for APN the word phone. Leave everything else blank-what is needed will get filled in automatically. Click the APN when you finish adding it and the radio button turns green to indicate it is working. The advantage to this APN setting is it gives you clear access and data speeds are not limited by ATT.

Those apns didn't work and I too a would doubt my phone bring the Asian version,.this version of gingerbread has the option to suspend my data network from holding down the power button maybe the software isn't...... I don't know I have no clue but my apns are normal but when's search they don't come up
In the list automatically so something a wrong
and I came from a hspa+ phone so my plan is already to go, I called to double check

to op, glad you got it straightened out...who did you order from and how much?

"search networks shows select automatically, at&t, and at&t. I have tried all three
i get regestered on network, but still will not connect help!
I am on the iphone plan with unlimited data, worked just fine in galaxy tab original 7"

i tried using funks apn settings and i still have nothing, i came from an atrix where i always got H+ and now here are me speeds, my speed test was done in detroit, i live in NJ my ping was 317, U 144 kbps D 155 kbps, i have no idea what is wrong with this phone but att can get going on it, i called and they have nothing for me!!! i dont know what to do

What plans are you guys, please?
(Anyone on month to month $50 unlimited?

There are two different APNs to use depending on what data plan you're on. If you're using a MediaNet or Data for non-Smartphones plan (3G) you need to use the Cingular APN. If you're on a legit 4G plan you need to use the special APN for 4G phones. If you reverse it, you'll get no data. For those of you on the 4G plan, go in to the APN settings. When you press menu, there's a reset to default option. It should pull the 4G settings down automatically. If you're on a 3G plan don't do this and instead manually enter the below settings. If you do this correctly you should get data. If you have a quad-band phone and still can't get data it's something with your account settings and not the h/w.

The fix for the staticky ear speaker and mms both lies in the APN. I just went to att and got my micro sim and stuck it in. i was stuck on 2g barely getting 7kb. the phone calls were horrible and the fix is here.
This is essentially the ucle5 (?) modem apn that is bundled in most every att rom.

Hmm...that APN was the default one for me and didn't give good data speeds. There are several other threads on this forum that discuss changing the apn to 'phone' or 'pta' as a fix for slow data speeds. I happen to be on the 'pta' one and find it much faster for data. Also, I thought apn was for data only? Not sure how/why it could affect the speaker static...

i was getting great speeds with it on my gs2. shostock3. 3.5mb this morning on my nexus but in different area.
before i stuck in my gs2 apn, i made a couple of phone calls. nothing but static and they could barely hear me. ran speed test with full h+ bars and was getting 215ms pings and it was only able to run one out of three times. the one time it did... i got 7kb. stuck in the new apn and everything went from zero to hero. i dont know the specifics.. i just know the outcome for me and thought it would translate over to others. maybe not.

You don't have to put the APN Type stuff in there, and the Password is CINGULAR1 but I don't know that it matters. The speedtests using this APN are slower than the pta/phone ones, but I have found that in actual day-to-day use I get better performance out of this one. Sites load faster and the connection is more stable.

I assume that screenshot is from your gs2? Speedtests with the Cingular APN are slower; the best I've gotten with it are around 3Mbps up/1 down with higher latency. Like I said, though, otherwise my performance with the Cingular APN is more consistent.
