Firt of all check if your network APN setting is correct. If your unsure about it just go to your network website and copy that to your phone. Secondly if you have data plan part of your package enable data under mobile network settings. Good luck

[Q] Wildpuzzle 8.0.11 and no 3g

Hi i have been unable to find any information on this and i am new to android so i thought i might ask
I flashed my HTC Wildfire to wildpuzzle version 8.0.11 last night and i am now unable to get 3G on the 3 network. My phone is rooted using the unrevoked method. I know about the problems of not getting weather, location etc. but I cant seem to find any info on this problem. I have checked that my carriers network is correctly selected and it is.
Any help in fixing this problem would be much appreciated
Have you checked the APN settings for Three? Are they the same as the ones set in your phone under the mobile internet settings?
Same problem, pm me when you found a solution.

[Q] sms issues cant receive pictures

ever since i rooted the device i have not been able to receive sms photos. i have flashed like 2 roms and still nothing. currently i am using simmons 3.5 rom and i am on the metro pcs network... someone please help
Its mms. Not sms sorry
Sent from my BNTV250 using Tapatalk
its because your apn is not configured correctly buddy. ask your carrier for full apn connection details for your device
Will they give me this information? What if they ask why I need this... I just don't want my warrenty to be voided..
Sent from my BNTV250 using Tapatalk
They cannot void your warrenty for this buddy, its pretty standard stuff, and you need it to fully enjoy their service ^^ they shouldn't be able to refuse you. If your worried just go in, say you had to factory reset your device and need the apn information to get mms messages fully working

As far as warranty goes from what I understand you have already voided that when you rooted the device especially if you unlocked bootloader with HTC Dev.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using Tapatalk
It has nothing to do with warranty. At all. Your apn is your access point name. It allows your device to connect to your carriers network and access the internet. The mms feature runs through the internet and sometimes will not work when it is not Configured properly. Even if it is not configured properly the internet may still work. Your apn is a vital part of the service your carrier provides and they cannot refuse a request for it. If the do tell them you will switch carrier. Now, when they give you the access point name. Go into settings/network/apn and then select new apn. Fill in the information just like a form. Exactly as they have it. Save it. Now select it as your apn and then check your mms again, and your internet for good measure. And tbh, you may be able to find your apn online, they can be model specific but not Device specific. Ie if you have a friend with the apn working on your phone, with your carrier. Then simply copy theirs. But Warrenty is NOT AN ISSUE at all.

No vpn and apn are different. If you open your settings and go to wireless and network , look inside here and see if you can find the apn. What carrier are you with? And what country? I will try see what I can find for you. And I cannot see any harm in this update. At worst it may muck up your internet. Do a nandroid first, then test and see pal.

There is nothing under settings wireless networks except lan and VPN settings. I am in the USA Florida. And I use metropcs. The only thing that alerts me is that when they tell me to type the code nothing pops up. I see nothing for apn. Anywhere. When I look in the notifications / status bar there is a up and down arrow nd when I click on that. It drops down and says apn but nothing is in it. My girls best friend has the same phone but don't know when we can meet up with her....

In with one issue and out with the other eh? Typical lol. Well Facebook not working is probably a apn issue. And if you were to reflash the rom it would remove the work that your carrier did to get your mms working. Is Facebook the only internet using app you have that is playing up? And are you sure your internet is working fully.?
Also, just join drop box by clicking this link https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTU3ODI5NTUyOQ then upload the pics to your public folder, right click them and get the public link. Then paste it here. This will be much more use to you in the long run

Run Wifi 8.exe (install it)
Go into the propertie of the short cut and tick it, Run as Admin
Double click the short cut
I wait till winblows finishing identifieing the new network
Right click the new Local Area Connection*12 - choose properties.
Then the sharing tab, tick Allow other network users to connect and in the box under Home networking connection is Wi-Fi, which is the what my
WiFi connection is called................
What am I doing wrong, or not doing?????

I believe that I've seen kind of trick for that but only available on rooted devices bcoz need app that require root.
In your case, to be safe, just use WiFi instead. Wait till u got WiFi available in any place to check ur FB.

[Q] I messed up with Titanium Backup and now it says 4g, but data doesn't work

So I had to get a replacement Note 2 from T-mobile because my first one had messed up sensors or something. When I got the new one I wanted to backup and restore all my apps from the original.I used Odin to flash CF auto root and do a app and system backup. Then I rooted to the new one the same way and did a restore. I apparently didn't read enough about Titanium backup and restored everything including the system stuff.*Now my data doesn't work most of the time. Specifically when my phone says 4g, no matter how many bars, nothing has network access. I can make and receive calls and text messages although calls have been very spotty with reception. However if I have 4g LTE signal then everything works great. Can anyone suggest a fix? I flashed the stock rom again and reset APN settings to default, nothing is different. Side note, I was able to reset flash, unroot and return the old phone to T-mobile. Any help is greatly appreciated
Have you tried a factory reset?

I did do a factory reset after flashing the stock ROM. Both through the settings menu and by booting into recovery. No change.

Am I really the only one that has had this problem with titanium backup? I read a lot before rooting, but apparently not quite enough. Please, if anyone has any ideas or has had this problem, a little help would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to have to send back another phone espevially one that is otherwise perfect. Everything is great when im on wifi or LTE, but 4g gets me nothing. Thanks

I don't think that this video is related to my problem. I can make and receive calls and texts with 4g or lte. However I have no mobile data connection whenever I am connected with 4g. All apps report no connection. When I have lte signal all apps work with no problem. Also my imei number is not gone, it is in there correctly.

Just an idea here. ...
Do you have an Add Block app of any kind? If you do, try to turn it off and see if that is the problem.
I had one that blocked my data, but only on Wi Fi. It took me several days until I found the problem.
Good luck.
Hit my "THANKS" button! Come on, you can do it!
i had similar problem
my settings were set to LTE only in factory menu.
so i would get internet only if LTE signal was available.

Have never had an adblock app of any kind. I know for sure that the problem was caused by me restoring all system apps from titanium backup.

Have you tried flashing the radio?
You would have to flash a custom recovery (recommend TWRP)
I also had that problem on my Nexus 5 for a few days, I upgraded my ROM but forgot to flash the Radio again, and after flashing radio in custom recovery all was fixed, was strange because SuperSU carried over and it was just a delta (65mb) update, must of screwed the radio I guess. All is working now though.
#cjp420 did u find solution, i have same problem
I did not, but I never tried flashing the radio like the previous commenter said. That actually was an idea I had, but didn't try because I asked and people were adamant that I shouldn't do that.
Believe it or not I am still using the same phone still with the same problem. It's not a big deal because I set it to only connect to lte or gsm so it never connects to the regular 4g. Everywhere in and around austin that I tend to go has good lte reception so I don't really miss it. The only part the kind of sucks is that ot switches to E whenever make or receive a call because there is no voice over lte apparently.
