Today I rooted my telus hero and flashed VillainROM 12 onto it which all went pretty well. The tutorial said the 3g may not work after and ide have to add the apn info myself, which I did. But when I enable the mobile network it greys out and says "Turning on..." forever. Does anyone know any solution to this?
Fixed, apparently the other 2 APN I inputted from the internet were wrong the closest one I had showed or looked like a space between the APN type when I removed that it worked :S
Strange... did you reboot the phone?
Ya i've rebooted the phone tried changing the APN over and over and it wont work

Greetings,
This morning I attempted to tether using my Mobile Hotspot and I am receiving the prompt to contact AT&T because my account is not setup for tethering. I have rooted my Atrix and it was working fine yesterday. I'm using the APN in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11493471&postcount=193
I've tried restarting the phone a couple times, but still to no avail.
Anyone else experiencing this issue or have any ideas of what to try?
Thanks,

Are you sure that APN is selected in the settings menu? Also try rebooting.
Verified I selected the proper APN in the menu and rebooted my phone. Goes to validating account then Account not set up for Wi-Fi hotspot.
I deleted the APN
Then recreated it from scratch from the values I listed above and it appears to have worked.
Not sure what happened, but glad to have it resolved.
Similar here. The phone went onlkine to verify, said to call 611 to enable. Did the same after rebooting. Now, next day, it works.
Maybe something reset in AT&T's batch processing, which takes place after midnight?
I have a problem with roaming.
I am on MTS who has joined with Rogers network.
On stock ROM: 2-6-35-7-i9100xwkf3-cl276555 rootdell101 #2
I go to the US
Phone works on roaming
Can receive SMS
Cannot send SMS - Send fails
I have since rooted and installed Alienware 2-6-35-11 ninphetamine 2.1.3 xxkh3
I go to the US
Phone has 4/5 bars and can't get on network to roam
can't send/receive SMS
when dialing get the Mobile network unavailable message
My wife's samsung galaxy S i897 works fine -
Swapping SIMs with her yields the same failures on my S2 with her SIM.
In both cases, crossing the border home fixes the problem and life is grand.
I have tried:
1.enabling data roaming
2.rebooting
3.battery pull
4.swapping sims
Is anyone else having similar roaming issues - is there a ROM that actually works while roaming from Canada while in the US?
I have seen problems on my old Galaxy S and my wife's similar to this as when trying different ROMS, but have never gone across the border with any of these ROMS installed.
What I've seen with different ROMS is:
1. sometimes cannot get phone to get on network unless I setup the APN settings first
2. sometimes cannot get phone or data to work without enabling roaming mode. The phone actually says it's roaming even when it's on the home network
Is there anything I'm missing in the forums on this issue?
Thanks for the help
hmm, maybe you've tried, but have you checked if the APN list is accurate ?
i believe there is an app to set the APN on the market ( can't remember the name though, never had the need for it.)
or try to google if you can find the APN setting of your network provider.
Seem like an APN problem to me as you explain it.
on the phone, you can access that with :
Settings >> Mobile networks >> Access Point Names and then the details of each APN can be checked/edited.
I got a Telus sgs2x a few days ago and I had the 4G sign on my phone then but now nothing I do is making it connect. I have been on a wifi network the whole time basically and I noticed that when someone tried to send me a picture it would not download. I had installed juice defender but took it off because I thought it might be the problem. I also tried a few different apps to switch data on but the 4G sign never pops up or anything. I can still call and text. I am using juggernaut 3.7 gingerbread 2.3.5 and it's a Telus phone not att.
I am sorry first post and it's in the wrong section I didn't realize.
Sounds like an APN problem. Try creating the AT&T APNs for your phone again. Look around the forum for them.
Haha it was an apn problem they had all been set to disable and after I reset my apn settings 4G turned back on. The holiday season must be getting to me.
So I used my phone this morning and all was fine and dandy, a couple of hours later and the phone could not connect to the mobile network. I triedsaving my network's APN settings that iI got from their website, but it would not save, I tried to save the settings using this trick where I rebootthen save the settings or sth like that to no avail. I tried dialling *#*#4636#*#* and changing the network type to cdma , but the setting would change for a split sec then return to unknown. After scouring on the threads for some time I thought i'd flash Cyanogenmod, still no network. Somebody please help me here I have tried everything I have seen on the threads. I was using vanilla root box 4.2 when this happened, along with the stock kernel. Wi-Fi works fine BTW. I also tried resetting APN settings to default, but I end up with the same empty screen with no APN settings whatsoever. I never touched these settings before this unfortunate event. Maybe if I flash a modem or radio(I hear one of those is responsible for connecting to the mobile network).
Modem and radio are the same thing, flashing the right one for your country won't help the apn issue. Flashing a stock 4.1.2 rom and factory reset to test if it's hardware or software problem. First check with your network that data is working in your area.
I have an LG Optimus F3Q (I'm a keyboard person) on T-Mobile. Rooted, stock. I've noticed that my wife and I will sometimes be in the same place and she with her un-rooted LG phone gets good 4G/LTE signal while I'm on 2G. I went to the T-Mobile store (did not tell them I was rooted, they didn't ask) and they gave me a new sim. That seemed to work ... for about 30 minutes. Then I got booted off 4G/LTE again. So I went back. They messed around with APN settings and stuff, still no permanent fix. But what I have noticed since doing that and learning a little bit about the network settings menu is I can manually get myself back on 4G/LTE by going into network settings>mobile networks>network mode and disabling, then re-enabling, GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. (There is no "LTE only" mode for me to select.)
I printed out a logcat dump shortly after doing that successfully, but I know nothing about reading those logs.
Just for kicks I've tried adding an APN using epc.tmobile.com instead of fast.t-mobile.com but that one won't even connect me to the internet; perhaps I am doing something wrong in setting it up.
Anyone have any ideas here? I'd prefer not to have to go through several menus every time I want decent data service.

Just a piece of additional info: I've now noticed that I seem to get kicked off 4G when I make a phone call. So it seems like the phone is having some problem reinitiating its connection with the 4G data network ... ?
