[Q]about AT&T WI-FI problem in Starbuck or Mcdonalds? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got Atrix recently, unlocked and flash Allen #4 ROM, but when I use AT&T WI-FI in Starbuck or Mcdonalds, get message - "You are connected to the internet". But it works for a little while, then disconnect - "ATT Wifi Hot Spot" "Unable to confirm eligibility, please call Customer CARE..." but the WIFI is working very well in my DEFY...I'm using T-moble, someone told me have to transfer to ATT carrier...
Is this only one way to solve the issue? I'm in NY...thx for all ans

You could try different ROMS to see if its a phone or software issue or network issue. Have you used wifi that's not ATT wifi and tried that? It could be a network thing.

I have encountered the same issue. Work recently installed a few AT&T hotspots in our buildings. I called customer care, but they were not much help. Seems if I drop Wifi and re-enable Wifi I get a good connection without the message. I never have this issue when visiting a restaurant next to a FedEx store. Lately, this happens 50% of the time.
-Steve.

Thanks guys...I will try to flash official 4.5.91 SBF...then take a test

I have this issue on a stock ROM on my Galaxy SII Skyrocket. Problem is, it never works no matter how many times I turn wifi off and back on etc. Customer service is clueless.
-This device works fine on any NON ATT hot spot and my wifi at office and home.
-This problem only started about a week ago
-So far I have confirmed this is a problem in Sam's Clubs (2) and Barnes and Noble.
-All AT&T or non AT&T phones that do not have their stupid "Auto-Login" software work without a problem, even my tablet that is WiFi only. Same locations works fine as long as it's not a device with their Auto-Login software crapping things up.

rooted stock atrix on latest rom. same issue.
whatever......

Depending on the store, some have a log in in the browser you have to press a few buttons.

I did do that, but same problem. I'm new to the whole custom ROM thing, and I've noticed that even after doing what you said, it still has issues. Either it will connect, then disconnect, or put the phone into a reboot loop until I leave the area where the ATT wifi is. But, if I revert back to stock 2.3.6, I have no issues. Is there a fix for custom ROMs that I just haven't stumbled across yet?

I always do, but I have it on when I'm trying to use wifi, like when I'm sitting in McD's, I would like to use wifi. But I can't on a custom ROM. Is there a fix besides turning off my wifi when I want to use my wifi?

'Fraid not. CM ROMs are not endorsed by AT&T and so don't support AT&T pecularities. If you want support for AT&T hotspots, you're stuck with stock software or a ROM based on it, for example Nottachtrix or ICSROM or similar.

That's what I was afraid of. I've been trying with Atrics v1.0 and 2.0 with no luck on AT&T hotspots, always sends me into a constant reboot cycle until I leave the hotspot coverage area.

No data fix, this is how I fixed my phone

Aloha from Hawaii...
I was having trouble with no 3g service yesterday, and this is what FIXED it.. hit the menu/drawer button and click on the ACTIVATE icon.. you will see a countdown like 3....2....1 then you will get a ERROR (this is NORMAL, your already activated!) but it will reregister your phone with the network and your 3g should work fine!
I did this yesterday, 3g worked all day, then turned phone off, and this morning the 3g is STILL working!
Try it and see if it works for you!
ALOHA!
can u explain more i cant understand
I have never seen activate button on my phone. what are you talking about?
Lame ... Repost of info...
This is covered in the other ROM threads, also ##virgin# (or ##847446#) does the same thing as long as you are running a semi-stock or stock rom. Be advised neither fix will work on Gingerbread based ROMs. The best bet is to do this and then flash to a custom ROM and you should stay active and re-established on the Virgin network. If you are having 3G issues with a custom ROM, flash to stock and run the activation and then flash back to the custom ROM.
never actived
I've never activated 3G before
So you never activated your phone? What are you using it as, a wifi only device? If you can browse the web without wifi then your phones 3g is active even if you don't remember doing it.

Thanks, this is a good post for those having mysterious 3G problems. I never thought about using the activate app. ##virgin# never worked on my phone, even when I was on the stock rom. This might also help those having first day of new billing cycle 3G problems.

Did you root and uninstall the Activate ap? Every VM670 should work with this right out of the box...
Be advised that VM is having random 3g issues today, so this fix may not work for you...

[Q] Anyone else with problems using TMobile Orange in the UK using a T - Mobile Sim?

Hi I am currently a T - Mobile customer and when I originally bought my Samsung Galaxy S2 with the company, I thought I could take advantage of using both the T - Mobile network and 2G services of the T - Mobile Orange Network.
However after successfully using it for the first 2 weeks, after my KE7 firmware update, I have an unbranded phone, it did not connect to the network anymore, stating, even if I manually select T - Mobile Orange in GSM mode only, Cannot registor with network, Unable to connect, then it states it is registered and yet I have emergency calls only stated and not either T - Mobile or even T - Mobile Orange. Then it will not connect to either network manually until I restart the phone.
I have since flashed my phone with various other firmwares, am currently on cognition s2 1.13, it's a great Rom, and still the same thing occurs.
I have contacted T - Mobile, they can't fix it, I have took the phone to a Samsung Repairer and they couldn't see anything wrong, stating it was a fault with Orange, as the guy in the shop's T - Mobile branded Galaxy s2 did the same.
Anyone solved the mystery, or is able to explain the issue to me?
It's doing my nut in, I have had phones like these for years, flashed them and enjoyed them, and usually work things out for myself, my last phone was an Samsung I8910, which was great with custom firmware support and I must say the Galaxy s2 is by far my favourite ever phone, but even my Samsung Omnia I8910 works properly on T - Mobile and Orange, and the latest and greatest phone won't!!
Have you tried flashing a different modem? Seeing as the cognition rom is based on I9100XXKG1, I know of a couple of forum members that have had trouble with the KG1 modem, and had to revert to the KF2 modem.
Worth a try? It won't wipe you phone of anything daft either.
List of official modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
Before you do anything, can you dial*#1234# and just check what phone software is installed?
Thanks for the option Unfortunately I have tried the KE2, KE7, KF2 and KG1 Modems now, none of them have worked. It is really bizaar as the bloody thing works really well on T - Mobile, when there is coverage, plus the 3 and H is great speeds when they are in coverage, it just won't switch to Orange

one moment, I'm on t-mobile aswell.
text YES to 2121.
Homer moment: Doh, you cant text can you?
Just for reference, I'm with Orange and in my network list I have both "Orange" and "Orange and T-Mobile". I can connect to the Orange one fine, but not to the other one. It does switch to T-Mobile sometimes though. I've seen it do it.
Hi again, I have text yes to 2121, and it was working on my phone before. So yours has no issues then?

Unfortunately if I let mine automatically switch network, it switches to emergency calls only if I am out of a t mobile network range, not orange, and it used to switch to orange no problem
Then when it is in emergency calls only, I have to turn it on and off to get it to work at all, as it will not register back to T mobile
My last attempt......when you go into wireless/mobile network settings, is data roaming ticked?

Yes it is, cheers for all your help. It's very frustrating and I can't fathom it out, so cheers for trying yourself
You don't need data roaming ticked in order to use Orange. T-mobile and Orange are both considered 'home' networks.
I'm on T-Mobile without data roaming ticked and it switches automatically to Orange without any issues. Might be worth phoning t-mobile up and seeing if there's some sort of issue with your account.
I installed Lite'ning Rom and found that I couldn't connect to Orange on my unlocked tmobile sim. Turned out that I had the "com.orange.authentication.simcard.permission" apk missing.
Downloaded it here:- http://www.contentsd.nl/apk/SimServicePermission.apk
and installed it with titanium and registered ok on orange.
Hope this helps.

Hiya guys. Sorry to jump on this thread but I am having the same issue as OP. I'd just like to give you an update on what I know so far. It is a nightmare trying to speak to someone at T-Mobile who actually knows whats going on, but I was persistent and got through to an engineer who said that they are having transmitter problems in east anglia and surrounding areas...not sure if you are in that area or not. Unfortunately all the engineer said is that they are working hard to a. figure out what the problem is ang b. fix it! He also could not give me an ETA and said that the only way to get back onto the network is to reboot the phone a couple of times. Not ideal, but I though it was something to do with the VillainRom that I flashed...so here's stupid me flashing stock, bricking/unbricking the phone etc etc only to find out later that its not the phone...on the plus side I have amazing battery life now haha who would have thought ey!
Anyways, hope this information is useful to you all.

It is not a ROM issue - it is a T-Mobile/Orange fault

Absolutely right Steph, it is not ROM related.
T-Mobile have acknowledged that there is a problem with registering T-Mobile customers on T'Orange cell towers.
I've been having this issue for a couple of weeks now (also in East Anglia), and after a lot of perseverance I got transferred to Level 2 support (Technical Support - not Customer Support) last Monday. They said there was a 'rectifier problem' on a mast in Henny Street, near Sudbury, Suffolk at the end of June and it has had a knock-on effect on other masts in the area. It was/is a level 2 priority for fix.
I wasn't happy with that explanation as it happens all over Suffolk!
Still with the issue on Thursday, I called them again and got straight through to Level 2 as they had marked my account as an on-going problem which Customer Support (in the Philippines) couldn't handle.
While explaining in detail the 'Your SIM does not allow you to connect to this network' problem the Guy I was talking to received an internal notification that they were aware of issues registering on T'Orange cells, that they'd known about it for 72 hours, have no idea what is causing it, and no eta to fix.
I've been using a forced connection to T'Orange for the last couple of days (poor T-Mo signal in house which always caused it to hunt for T'Orange anyway). Downside of course is that it won't get a 3G signal when forced into T'Orange mode.
Still happening today so need to give them another prod...
Oh, and I found this thread searching for answers - I don't have a Galaxy S, I have a Desire. Further proof that it isn't ROM related.
I'll update when I find out more from them.
Aaron
Just spoken to them again, problem is still on-going, they are still investigating and looking for more samples of the problem to try and isolate the issue. In light of that I would suggest anyone else having this to phone them and ask for Technical Support and register the fault - the more samples they have, the better chance of getting it resolved.
In other words, they still don't know what's causing it or when they'll fix it.

[Q] Problem with cell network

I am admittedly a noob when it comes to Android phones. I have had my i777 for a few months now and have successfully bricked it more than once. Having said that, I have found that the answers to my questions have always been on the board somewhere. I am having troubles figuring out where to go with this portion of the issue though. Having tried several different ROMs for my phone, I keep having the same issue. With any ROM, other than stock, I miss phone calls or text messages when my phone is locked and on Wi-Fi at home. If I'm out and about with my phone in my pocket and locked, it works normally. But, if I'm at home working at my desk and the phone is locked, I will not get text messages or phone calls. Notifications from apps like CNN continue, but nothing from the mobile network. I have followed the guide to return to stock and built my own jig that worked to reset my flash counter as I flashed before I read when I got the phone. (Former iPhone user that just assumed it was as easy as a jailbreak, really really dumb on my part)
I am a tech geek. I follow instructions well. I am sure the problem is with my phone and not the ROMs. My question for the forum, is where to begin troubleshooting the issue. I want to be able to use these ROMs.
Some info that may be helpful:
Baseband: I777UCKH7
Kernel: 2.6.35.7
I have tried the following in no particular order:
UCKK6-SHOstockV1.9.2noWipe
Serendipity_8.2
update-unnamed-v2.2.1-full
ICScrewD_2.1
TurkbeyRom-v33
Each has individual issues that I can deal with and learn to fix, but the phone issue I, obviously, cannot get past.
Have you set the phone to keep the wifi active when sleeping or locked?

No I have not. Does the wifi connection prevent the cell network from connecting?
cell network shouldn't disconnect at all if it is, swap it out could be bad phone. Also what is your signal level at your desk at home? Low signal normally causes missing of messages.

No, it doesn't.
Do you use any 3rd party apps like tasker?
When did this issue start? Perhaps there is an issue with the tower that serves your home. How strong is your cellular signal at home? I believe text messages (except MMS) are sent over the cellular network. Your being on wifi shouldn't matter (does being at home with wifi off and the phone locked still cause issues?).
I can't imagine other ROMs causing issues, though. If anything, they would mess up your data network only if they had the wrong APN settings for your area (for example, for a while, people using Unnamed didn't have data issues, except for a few like me who lived in certain areas with Cingular towers). Or maybe the stock modem files are better for you than the ones provided by the ROMs?
Maybe you have an old sim card that somehow has issues? You should be able to get a free one from at&t. Do you have another phone that you can test it with?

I keep a minimum of 3 bars and live near the center of a large city. As stated in the op, this is only happening on added ROMs never on stock. I have again reverted to stock (+root), since the op, and confirm that I am getting messages and calls at my desk at home with the phone locked.
****************************Edit for SoCaliTrojan post********************************************
I do not have any additional task managers installed, I've just always used the one built in. As for the SIM card, I am using the one that I got with the i777 at upgrade and get the 4G network when not on wifi, so I think I can rule it out. My wife has a Note that I have been drooling over, guess I will have to "borrow" it for "testing" when she gets home from work.
Also, I notice I am on baseband KH7 with Android version 2.3.4. I see mention of KK6 and 2.3.6 on the forums. I have avoided flashing the baseband, when possible, to keep from possibly bricking the unit. Is it possible that upgrading these could resolve the issue?
That is a very weird problem. Only thing I can suggest is compare the APN settings in root with a custom rom's settings. They should be identical, but check anyway.

Then it isn't connecting to 4G networks.
It's labeled as "4g" but really just multiple 3g connections to give you a faster overall speed. But you might want to just try getting a new sim card at your AT&T store, if that doesn't work, try a different modem (like KK6) the whole list/downloads are in the development section.

I made AT&T upgrade me to a n LTE sim card. Our phone disent have LTE but the newer sim cards supposedly will make your speeds faster when LTE does come to your area due to it pushing HSPA+ faster than enhanced backhaul.
You said you live in the center of a big city maybe being surrounded by a lot of tall buildings could be causing havoc on your cell reception.I know at my work I can send and receive messages and calls everywhere except our breakroom but everyone else's phone works fine in the breakroom.

[Q] Mobile Data Not Working - Galaxy S3

Hey,
I was playing around with a few Custom ROMS today, and my mobile data stopped working. The APN settings are correct. I have flashed multiple ROMS but no luck. Even stock ICS ROM. I think I have the wrong modem/baseband combination.
My phone show H+ or 3G icon, but as soon as I try to use the internet, it vanishes. Wifi works fine.
Any ideas?

Yes the APN is correct.
Could someone possibly tell me which firmware I should flash? I purchased my phone from Pakistan, but I'm not sure which region it is for. Will that make a difference?
Something happening with this phone. I had the same issue a few weeks later.
I tryed almost every modem available unsuccessful. Just my local carier can solve. I didn't known what they did, but solved until now.
Although your apn settings may be correct, they may need updating.
This sometimes happes in the uk.
Maybe if you tried deleting the apn settings out and then ringing your carrier network up, and asking them to sent your correct apn settings to your phone, maybe this could help.

Had the same issue with my GS3 (I9300) after switching from those Straight Talk Bastards to AT&T:
Whereas Straight Talk simply f*cked up b/c of a collapse of their data network, so I assume (with nobody at ST saying a word for 2 days, of course.. ), it turned out that AT&T actually had deleted my new account - by mistake - after just one week of 'happy browsing'.
A trip to the local AT&T store solved the mystery and got me up & running again.
Unfortunately, though, it took the AT&T folks a while to figure it out, as they are not used to unbranded/international/ unlocked phones wanting to join their US network. (Don't even try to solve this over the phone, if you have a choice).
Kudos to the AT&T staff, though, as they got the problem resolved eventually. It definitely helped a great deal that my phone had been working just fine on their network just a week ago, so I was able to stand my ground and insist that the problem was at their end.
One of the reps - apparently without a clue - tried to tell me all sorts of BS, e.g. that the I9300 would not work on AT&T; that some Samsung phones supposedly don't work with their network... bla bla blub blub...
Fortunately, I knew better and told him so. Otherwise, he may have successfully gotten rid of me; making me search for the problem someplace else (a.k.a. giving me the run-around or making me chase my tail, etc. :banghead: )
Thanks to xda (and the Internet), however, I had all the knowledge necessary to make sure they get it back to work. Now I'm browsing the web again with 7Mbps Down/3Mbps Up speeds, using AT&T's really fast HSPA+ network here in the Chicago Northern Suburbs (close to O'Hare)... Yay!
Good Luck with finding the problem with your data loss issue!! :thumbup:
P.S.: Let me know if you need my APN settings; just for comparison (.. in case you are in the US, too).
Cheers,
AA

[Q] modem, LTE Issue????? help

Ok, I've had issues with this phone that began with a bad battery. I got a new battery through insurance and my problems continued, even worsened. The phone will lose network connection constantly. It will reboot on it's own or during use. This is the only way it will obtain network connection once lost.... I went to at&t a million times and they flashed it for me a few times, replaced my SIM card three timesthis month and no luck. I decided to be brave and root it with cyanogenmods latest 4.4.2 kitkat (which I love, props to them) and it still continues to do the same crap! It's getting old and im beginning to think it must be a hardware issue, but I read about flashing a modem for the phone. Does anyone know if this might solve the problem or is it likely a hardware malfunction?
It seems to cause the most issues when im not on wifi or when LTE is activated.
Tried the *#*#4636#*#* code to change the connectivity settings but the only option im allowed to use is the lte/gsm auto (PRL).
Any advice is appreciated.... my next option is shooting it with my shotgun and using it as a conversational piece at the office.... maybe a
A paperweight??
thank you for your time.

Could be a modem issue, could be as simple as changing you APN settings. Where is your location? Could be affecting you a bit. Run a search, many have had this issue.

It seems to cause the most issues when im not on wifi or when LTE is activated.
Tried the *#*#4636#*#* code to change the connectivity settings but the only option im allowed to use is the lte/gsm auto (PRL).
Any advice is appreciated.... my next option is shooting it with my shotgun and using it as a conversational piece at the office.... maybe a
A paperweight??
thank you for your time.

No need for target practice! Did you replace your phone through Asurion? If so, all replacement devices come with a 12-month limited warranty. How long have you had your replacement phone? We're here to help!

I live in central Arkansas and I'm not exactly sure how to check my APN settings...?? And if it's a common issue based on location, why does AT&T not recommend a solution to anyone with problems? Or do they and I just don't know?
I've ran this phone on straightalk 3g for about a year. Recently upgtaded to a lte sim and loose signal a lot since. Miss calls. Don't get text. I have read certain art lte towers have this problem. Sounds good since my wife's s4 has same problem. Both phones ran fine and got calls on 3g sims

I found the settings directly through the AT&T website but theyb only povide 4G HSPA+ settings.. which are not LTE.
Follow this steps and check if your APN settings match, and if they don't then just create a new profile with the settings in this link:

Techinically, this settings are stated to be for the Nexus 5, but the APN are carrier based, so regardless if it states Nexus 5 APN settings they would still work for our OG Note
You should be able to get to your settings by going to settings / wireless data & networks ---more / mobile networks --- Access Point Names
Hope this helps!
