[Q] Roaming and hanged connections - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
One week ago I moved my personal phone number to a roaming phone operator, called simyo (belongs to KPN). Several times per day when I try to access internet (I use push mail, always on gtalk, etc) cant do it. It seems is connected the internet. The coverage shows 3G and the uplink arrow shows activity. Of course I ve marked the options "Use on roaming network". I need to reset the device or turn on/off airplane mode. I had a similar problem with windows mobile time ago in other samsung device. Never had this problem with other phone operator or using the roaming operator (simyo) with other android device. Any idea?

[Q] mobile network state disconnected

ive been using the phone for a few weeks now and it was fine until today, i cant connect to the internet via edge . ive tweaked with all the settings but nothing seems to work. everything else is fine . ie i can make calls and send text's but i cant connect to the internet. i checked under the status and it shows the mobile network state is disconnected. i have no clue as to wat this is since im new to android.
pls help!
Have you turned MOBILE DATA off via the power on/off menu .
jje
ive checked that too.
Go to Settings- Wireless and Network- Mobile Networks- Access Point Names and see if the APN is ticked or not or the correct APN is ticked.
everything is back to normal again,it connected to the internet, by itself . must be a random bug in the os
problem solved. peace
I have experienced the same thing with my phone, except that it shows "activated". After a while it just started working again.
I've had the phone for a couple of months now and everything has worked fine till now, a little bugs here and there but no issues. A few weeks back (on android 2.3.3) I was unable to make or receive calls, but surprisingly was able to make text messages. I tried everything, turning flight mode on/off; the phone on/off; etc. I was on the verge of contacting Samsung but then suddenly the thing started working once I came back home from the office.
There has been no problems till then but today suddenly (now on android 2.3.6) the outgoing calls no longer work, same for outgoing text message; but I still get incoming calls and messages.
Just to be sure that this wasn't a SIM or service issue, I tried changing SIM's (different SIM did not work on the phone) and used my SIM on different phone (where it worked).
Also 3G doesn't work as well, but connection here is spotty so I wouldn't trust that. The only message I see different on the 'About Phone' tab is 'Mobile State-Disconnected'. I have full signal strength and all that.
My thoughts are that it was, or rather is a phone specific issue and would appreciate someone else's thoughts on the matter. As to my problem I assume it will sort itself out in a little while.
FYI: Samsung Galaxy S2; Android 2.3.6; NOT rooted; Indian version; On Airtel Mobile Network.

[Q] Issues with National Roaming on Three UK

Hiya there,
I switched to Three's One Plan quite a few months ago, and it is seemingly great.
However, whenever I tend to travel through, or visit, places that do not have Three's coverage, it roams onto a partner network (Orange, I think).
As soon as that happens, I get the little "R" on top of the network bars, and a warning triangle notification which says "Data roaming - You havev lost data connectivity because you left our home network with data roaming .. " can't read the rest :/, although a bit of online research says " .. with data roaming turned off." Under the mobile network settings, I have Use Packet Data and Data Roaming enabled, and my APN set to three.co.uk (APN type: default MCC:234 MNC:20)
Any ideas as to why I can't get any data access at all? Customer services tend to get me round and round a circle, and keep asking me to try another phone, which I would if I could right now.
Did u brought that 5L abroad data packet and u can try to flash other modems maybe this help

1. Disable Mobile data, then wait for 3-5 minutes
2. Enter Service mode, then change network to WCDMA only, repeat it like 2 times.
Done.
Correctly good luck...

my problem is described here -Can others be so kind as to verify if they are also having an issue with receiving voice calls or SMS while their phones are using the 2G network for data access. (3G and wifi either unavailable or turned off.)
We have this issue with Orange and I have tested it on one Sunrise iphone4 and we had the same issue. Which is not surprising since Orange and Sunrise are operated by the same staff. It does work correctly over Swisscom.
I raised this case with Orange over one month ago and they still have given me no concrete feedback as to why their network behaves like this.
(FYI this is a network issue and not related to any phone configuration).
Feel free to harass Orange about this. It might get them to pull their fingers out a bit. When I raised the case it took me about 10 calls to their support plus 2 visits to Orange shops to finally get a technician who was capable of understanding this simple but critical issue.
EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM:
1. Force phone to use GSM (2G) mode only or be in an area with no 3G coverage, or if your phone chooses to use the 2G network
2. Disable switching to wifi:
3. Connect to 2G packet data, download email or download webpages: Status Bar-> spinning wheel
4. While packet data is connecting, using another phone place a call to your phone
5. After packet data has connected, using another phone place a call to your Phone
EXPECTED OUTCOME:
You expect the packet data connection to either DROP or be SUSPENDED (depending
on network capabilities) and for the phone to ring indicating an incoming call or SMS.
ACTUAL OUTCOME:
The packet data connection persists and remains active; the phone does not ring
and the call is handled by the network as if the phone was unreachable (for most
users this means forwarding to voicemail).
REPRODUCIBILITY:
always; no exceptions.
This has been tested extensively on the Orange network by me and many other users.
Tested devices which all show the same issue, iPhone4, iPhone3GS, Iphone 3G, several Android models.

Not connecting to Network Operators?

Alright, so here's the problem:
I've had my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge for around 4months now, having no problems with it what-so-ever.
The other day (Tuesday) having waking up, my mobile wasn't able to send or receive phone calls or SMS messages, but it was still connected to my providers internet.
I can still browse the web using my provider, giffgaff, under 4G internet but when I try to send a text or phone anyone it says: "Not registered on Network".
I've contacted my network provider and they are adamant it's nothing to do with my network, also tried my sim in another phone and it works.
Now, I checked my IMEI and it was unblocked.
Tried rooting, factory resetting my phone and putting different roms on, nothing seems to be working. My internet still works on my phone, just my network is unable to connect.
When I manually search for network I find: Vodaphone, O2, EE, 3 Network. Having tried to load it up on O2 (Giffgaff uses O2 and my network provider asked me to do so) it says it's unable to connect.
I'm just wondering, is there anyway to resolve this?
Also, my signal bar is full, and the local reception for my Network is "excellent".
Hello, i've been having the same problem and couldn't resolve this with my network provider aswell i can get connected to the network but soon as it registers to 3g it kicks me of my network operator the only temp fix i could find was go to settings, mobile networks, network mode, gsm only, then register to network to receive and send calls and texts, i've tryed everything and it's the only thing i can suggest as a temp fix .:good:

Vodafone Smart Ultra 7 APNs

Hi all, Hoping someone can help.
I've got a Vofafone Smart Ultra 7, direct from Vodafone. Didn't need unlocking as other vendors sim worked from the off.
The phone came with 2 APN's be default, Vodafone contract, and Vodafone PAYG.
However I have a problem. I've manually created my Talkmobile APN (for UK), I can't edit/delete or anything other than view the 2 standard APN's that came on the phone. I've selected my talkmobile APN as default, and this works. I can then come and go as I please and use data.
However very frequently (maybe 50% of the time), when I leave a wireless signal area (eg home or work), I keep my talk mobile GSM connection for voice and sms, but I get no internet, I get a signal with exclamation mark (!). I have to then go into my APN's and choose one of the two vodafone defaults, wait a few seconds for it to decide it's not the right connection, then re-select my talk mobile. At this point I get my data signal back and am able to use internet data services.
I might as well just have wireless and no data on the phone for the frequency it's happening.
Any idea's? the phone's only 2 months old, and Vodafone are worse than useless, they only want to support mobile phone contracts, not their own hardware.
Thanks.
