Enabling 3G Internet after unlock - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development

I managed to get my Bell SGS unlocked last night, and after a while of playing around with the settings, I realized there was no 3G switch. When I go to:
Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks
the only things I see are: Data Roaming -- Acces Point Names -- Network Operators
I'm trying to connect to Telus' data network so I called and they made me input the following APN:
Name: telusSP
APN: sp.telus.com
proxy: 74.49.0.18
port: 80
username: not set
password: not set
server: not set
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc
MMS proxy: 74.49.0.18
MMS port: 80
MCC:
MNC:
Authentication type: not set
APN type: internet + MMS
but theres no button to enable 3g internet anywhere.. is something not set up correctly?

I had to make software reset after unlocking (but my phone wasnt working anymore after unlocking..)

suggestion, we should add all these info in the Wiki pages

Hah funny stuff that's it not automatic like most providers. Telus must be awesome eh

When you add the APN it should automatically connect. I unlocked my SGS Saturday morning and it connected to 3G/HSPA as soon as the APN was added and selected.

yeah, my fido one works fine on 3G/HSPDA

In the APN list you need to press on the grey circle next to the one you setup and it'll turn green.

Its highlighted in green, yet no enable/disable 3g switch anywhere.. and no connectivity..
if I were to do a factory reset, maybe it would fix it automatically? would it unroot and relock my phone though?
EDIT: Okay, I deleted it, and re-added the APN, and it all works fine now. Thanks for the help

Flashed Vibrant back to original firmware (UGJG8) not rooted: PROBLEM

Now I have no network connection.
I can make calls, receive calls but I cannot do anything that requires data.
Under my phone status I see
Mobile Network State
Disconnected
I have tried factory resetting, battery pulls, reflashing original firmware... I am at my wits end. Anything ANYTHING to try would be awesome.
Like is there a way to force the connection back on??
go into settings, open APN, and add your phone login information to use internet
I am an idiot. Sorry:
For anyone else on Bell, here are the settings:
Name: Bell Internet
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 610
APN type: Internet + mms
Authentication Type: none
can you mention how you got to open APN? I dont think i have that setting
Edit: your not the only idiot.. its under "wireless and network"-> mobile networks -> access point names
For better connection speeds, you might want to experiment with:
pda2.bell.ca (what iPhones are set to, I always see better speeds on this)
inet.bell.ca (which is the default APN on the Vibrant, and probably the least used across the network at the moment, speeds just a bit lower than pda2 in general, too close to call)
Then again, pda.bell.ca is reported to have problems tracking all your data usage, in your favour.

Cant connect to Rogers 3G

Im having trouble connecting to the rogers 3G network. I have flashed my phone numerous times and reset my APN settings a few times. I used the APN settings at this link
thekidd.ca/blog/tech/rogers-apn-settings
I have tried changing the network manually but when I select the 3G Rogers theres an error message that pops up at the bottom saying that my SIM wont allow it to connect.. But the 2G network it will connect to Just fine.
Any Ideas on how the hell to fix this? It was working for the last 2 months after i debranded. Until this sunday my 3G was working. I went to orientation for work and when i came out my battery was dead. I charged it and thats when it all went south. [email protected]

Once when I flashed the generic ROM I used settings from this site and it worked for me
nexusoneforum.net/forum/rogers-discussion/3987-rogers-wireless-apn-settings-data-mms-here.html
Here are the settings:
MAKE SURE YOU SETUP TWO DIFFERENT APNS, ONE FOR DATA AND ONE FOR MMS!!!
Here are the settings for Data
Name: Rogers
APN: internet.com
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
MCC: 302
MNC: 72 (If that doesn't work try 720, its already filled in, leave it at what it is)
Leave the rest blank. Now you Data should be working
Here are the settings Multimedia Messaging

APN: media.com
Username: media

[Q] Enabling LTE on new Bell Samsung GS3

Hi there,
I just got a new GS3 in Edmonton and Wifi works great but it wont connect to the LTE network or any network for that matter. Once I turn wifi off I have no connection to any network. In settings under mobile network I have "auto mode" for GSM/HSPA/LTE networks enabled. I have a SIM card that says LTE on it.
Does anybody know how I can turn this one?
Cheers.
Are your apn settings there?

I am in my APN settings. I assume it is the Access Point Names tab. When I click that tab it says "Browser, pda.bell.ca". When I click on that it opens ip a bunch of settings which I cant edit. It does say APN enabled though.

What carrier are you with? Bell? I am assuming it's a Bell phone LOCKED to Bell.
You definitely need ALL the specific settings for the APN. (the APN name is not important itself) I am on Rogers so I do not have your needed settings. Look around the forum or re ask the question for the APN details. Someone who uses Bell can help.
I found the settings:
Bell Mobility:
APN Name: Bell LTE
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: h.t.t.p.://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
MMSC proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 610
APN type : <Not set>
So i tried "restore to defaults" and it loaded up with all of this information, except the Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca or the Port: 80
When i tried New APN with these settings it did not work and when I rebooted the device it erased the new APN I added.
When change your apn setting ,do not forget to save them using your menue button, on bottom left of your phone.

This happened to me so I took the phone back and they gave me a new SIM card and it worked perfect, it was just a bad SIM.

No network on US version with ATT

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem or can help with a solution. I just got my Oppo 7 (love this thing) but it seems the network doesn't work properly. The network seems to be picked up just fine, full bars, under network settings it automatically acquires the APN settings and everything, but I can't do anything over the air without WiFi. As soon as the WiFi is gone, I can't browse the internet, send or receive text messages, etc. What do?
Will this help? Won't be LTE, but H+ (my phone doesn't have LTE)

I have mine set up on T Mobile and I'm having the same problem. It's pretty annoying. I've tried a factory reset to no avail. My phone downloaded an update this morning which I hoped would fix the problem, but it looks like it hasn't.

That's odd. There's one thing wrong with this device on stock - its APN database for AT&T is 3-4 years out of date. It was still using the wap.cingular APN when I turned mine on.
You need to manually put in the AT&T LTE APN (pta). ALSO if you've never owned an LTE device before you'll need to talk to AT&T to have your account updated. (Using the pta APN with a Nexus 5 resulted in no data for me too until I had my plan/account updated. You can do this without an actual contract change - for example I'm still grandfathered in to "unlimited data"). In general I would recommend doing this in-person at an AT&T-owned store, not at the phone and not at a franchisee (like most small mall kiosks).
Thanks for the reply everyone, I entered in the new ATT HSPA+ APN and it works like a charm now.
Could you post your settings?. I confirmed the SIM I got yesterday was lte capable but still no dice.

Just putting in the pta APN with no other info was enough for me.
(MMS is probably borked for me until I fill in the right settings for it but I use MMS maybe once every 3 years at most.)

I have this as my settings now and still only get H+. (except for the mmsc, you have 3 m's)
Weird thing is that I get 0 connection when I change from phone to pta.
Not sure if locale is the culprit. I'm in Oklahoma City.

I went to the ATT store, but they weren't any help. They confirmed that the SIM they gave me was lte compatible, but I assumed that's the same thing as having an LTE data package. I'll give them a call tonight and let you all know. (btw, just re-applied your settings and still no luck)
edit: called.. and they claim that all accounts have lte compatibility now and of course she had never heard of the OF7a
The settings entropy posted were the exact settings my N5 had which I copied over and worked fine. One thing to be aware of is that mine says 4G on LTE and then either H or H+ for those, not sure if this applies only to my service area or what and another might show differently. At any rate if you're getting 4G showing you might wanna run speedtest and see if you are getting LTE.

AT&T's SIMs have been LTE compatible for years, even before AT&T had an LTE network. I need to check to be sure, but I'm fairly certain my SIM is still the original "cut down SIM" that I've had since 2011 at least.
It's your account that needs to be LTE-enabled.
Don't call. Phone support is awful. Go to a corporate-owned AT&T physical store. That's where the competent staff are.
(In my case, I originally did the LTE upgrade on a Nexus 5 - if you put a SIM into a Nexus 5 that doesn't have LTE on the account, you'll get a text message saying to call AT&T.)

HELP!! Unlocked Verizon LG G3 to T-Mobile APN Settings?

I purchased an unlocked Verizon LG G3. I am trying to figure out what APN settings to use. I have searched all over and various other threads suggests different settings.
Here are the issues I have in most of the settings I've used: Poor signal, Internet but unable to download MMS, or no internet but text service. I also tried enabling roaming. So what settings do I use??
Here is what I have now:
Name: T-Mobile US LTE
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server:Not Set
MMSC:Not Set
MMS Proxy:Not set

MNC:260
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: not set
APN Protocol:IPv4/IPv6
These settings give me service but I am getting between one to three bars. When I used to get full bars on my t-mobile g2.

That is weird. I have not seen that before. I would recommend updating your phone if not updated to the latest version. If you are in the latest version you might have to factory reset your phone.
