No data connections except for wifi please help - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

This Galaxy Note is my first Android device ever. I have rooted it and was downloading some apps. Basically following a post of the most important apps to have once rooted. I downloaded Juice Defender and enabled it inside the app on the recommended setting for new users. All the other apps downloaded I have not messed with anything that would alter any part of the phone itself. I wanted to start at a better battery. Now when I leave home and do not have a wifi connection my phone says that the data network is disconnected. I tried to disable JD which did not fix the issure, and then I uninstalled it and rebooted. Still same problem. I'm so new to this I don't know what you might need to know to help me get my old data values back in place from what JD altered. So Please help me get my now useless phone back up and running. Also, please be patient with me and what I'm sure are stupid questions regarding this issue. I'm just trying to learn here.
Thanks,

Open Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Networks.
Check to make sure 'Use packet data' is on.
If so, open 'Access Point Names', AT&T PTA should be selected.

Make sure that you contact AT&T and have your phone set on their network. It is an LTE phone and it needs a specific data package.

That is exactly why I aborted Juice Defender. Try Greenpower, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5ncG8uZ3JlZW5wb3dlciJd.

I was having problems with JD as well. My data icons and bars would show but I would have no cellular data. I uninstalled and everything worked fine after. It's weird because I had no cellular data problems with JD on my Inspire.
Anyways I find that you don't really need JD if you're using an app like setcpu or system tuner which puts the phone into deep sleep when not in use.

u can try all those there good tools..check data enable if its on and still no connection .pull sim out and power on without it....turn phone off put sim back in power on to trick the system..reboot ..and see if that works..just make sure u have data enabled first and data on.....before doing this...hope it helps

Grey H, full 3G and no internet service!

So as the title says, I'm experiencing times when I have full 3G (I don't live in a HSPA + area) but the H its greyed out. I can make calls and send texts, but can't access any websites. I'm running ginger blur 3.5 but was experiencing this prior to loading it as well. I'm not running any battery saving apps that may be disabling the internet usage. Usually a reboot of the phone will get me service. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance!

This might not help you.. I use a widget that can turn on/off mobile data and sometimes it gets a little screwed up. If I go into settings > data > data manager (I believe) and manually turn it off and back on it sometimes fixes my problem. You could try that instead of rebooting sometimes ..not super helpful advice but ya never know.

Any suggestions are helpful!! I'll be sure to try that the next time it happens! Thanks

Did you configure the APN already? Did you try your SIM card on another phone to discard a problem with your line? Is data enabled in data manager?
Check those. That might be the issue
try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13838602&postcount=5
works perfectly here, no idea why you have to do it though, obviously you need to make sure your apn settings are correct aswell.

[Q] Which (sync?) app is eating GPRS? And how do I stop it?

Hi hope someone can help.
I've bought an Xperian X10 mini for my daughter. She loves it. All her friends love it. The iPhone owners want one! (Big) but.....
She is not a heavy user, and so put her on a PAYG contract. However it is running out of credit very quickly, and when I checked the usage it is nothing she is doing, but some background app that is regularly (hourly) connecting with GPRS and doing... well something, but I have no idea what :-S The info on the usage (from Orange) is (e.g.)
date & time event type dialled number/description duration/vol(Kb) cost (?)
22/05/11 19:22 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 38.0 0.00
with the same entry every hour:22
We have tried disabling as many sync type options / apps as we can find (e.g. Timescape) but it is still happening, and is driving me up the wall.
The reason I am even more annoyed is that most of the time it is at home, and connected (apparently successfully) to our wifi, so why the hell is it using GPRS anyway when there is an active wifi conection?! :-S
I have tried everything I can think of, and short of turning it off there seems little I can do. Can anyone help please??
- Which app is doing this?
- How do I configure it to either
i) use Wifi (preferred - would rather not disable functionality if possible) or
ii) stop auto syncing every hour?
Any help very gratefully received!
Thanks in advance

There are a couple of apps out there that can monitor data usage per app. But so far, all those that I found require Froyo (2.2) and above. I'm guessing your using the stock SE ROM so that's 2.1.
But there is an alternative.
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Click Usage Statistics
Click Battery history
Click the Other usage dropdown
Click network usage
That should show you which apps are using your network connection. But both wifi and 3g; at least it gives you an idea.
As to how to prevent use, you could go to each app and customize syncing options if at all possible. If you just want to block an app from using the network totally, I suggest LBE Privacy Guard, free on the market.

They have a thread here on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091065
EDIT: BTW, the phone shouldn't be using GPRS when wifi is available. That's weird. First time I've heard of that happening.
Many thanks for the info - really useful - will check the links you've given.
On the wifi (and yes it is weird - and annoying!) could it be "connected" but without a "proper" connection? Is there some way I can check, e.g. switch off GPRS and see if can see www?
Just tried what you suggested (disconnected the internet from my wifi router, but router still on), and my X10MP didn't even attempt to connect to GPRS despite using apps which use data. The apps returned errors.
Maybe your X10M fails to connect to the wifi? I actually have no idea what's going on.
you and me both buddy!
thanks for trying tho!
I'll delete the connection anyway and try set it up again....

I didn't need to enable anything to use that. Sorry, don't know how else to help.
well it carried on despite various fiddling. so I did a factory reset.... no accounts set up no sync etc - factory reset - and it's still happening??!! so something SE/Android is doing it, but I still have no idea what? Surely I'm not the only person with this issue??!! :S :S :S

very simple fix, go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > uncheck Data enabled.
that way mobile data (gprs,edge,3g) is turned off and your problem is solved. If you're using stock SE software, theres a Data Traffic widget that lets you toggle the Data Enabled setting on and off easily.
Sync is not the only thing using data traffic, background apps can too, as well as some of the apps she might be using. ( some apps have adverts )
Thanks. Had also been nosing on SE site, and am obviously not the only person with this problem. I unchecked the box a few hours ago, am hoping that that cures it. I've also found anotehr PAYG plan with the same provider that has unlimited internet, so may switch to that. So one way or another will be resolved.
However I am still left annoyed. This ****** device is supposed to be under MY contorl not the other way round! Not knowing what is doing this, or (and because of this) not being able to stop it is ****** annoying! As is the fact it (whatever "it" or "they" are) is using GPRS when there is an open wifi connection!!
Ho hum - progress eh...
Well turning off the Data seems to have done the trick thanks. NOt really satisfactory not knowing what is doing it, but there we go. Thanks for all the help all
If shes not using the data at all, you can try to delete all access points - GPRS,WAP, etc. even MMS...with no APN, no connection, no access to net, no credit loss...Just go to settings-wireless networks-mobile networks-access point names-click on any of them-press menu button and choose delete...Im working for the operator so I solve this kind of problems every day :-D It is easy if you dont want to use net in mobile at all but still I think you should flash it with SEUS because your problem is weird.
That's the thing - she does use data. so want it to be enabled. but the vast majority of the time is at home with a perfectly good wifi connection, so why won't it use that?!
Anyway am swapping to a PAYG tarriff promising "free" internet, so will see how that goes.
thanks t

[Q] Market problem over 3g

Hello fello MoPho owners,
I have a problem with downloading in Market over a 3g connection. I can access Market just fine, but when I attempt to download an app I receive an error.......and Market cannot detect a data connection.
Rather than backup and restore my device, I was hoping that I could identify why this has happened? The device has not received any recent updates, as any Market downloads just mysteriously stopped working. However, Market works just fine over wifi to include downloads.
I am rooted on the stock rom gingerbread 2.3.4. The Market version is 3.3.11. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I also get an "invalid package file" error. I downloaded two apps just fine and then I kept getting the problem :confuse: I'm unclocked stock with 1.3 stable kernel.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I ended up resetting the device and it worked fine. I noticed that the Market version upon reset was an older version. I don't think the updated Market was the problem however, as it was working. Nevertheless my device is back up over 3g. Should anyone encounter the same bug, please post your fix and or findings. Thanks, and happy hacking!
I had that issue as well. One thing i could suggest is to find on xda a marketplace.apk older then the one your on and try and REPLACE it under astro
It is under "/" root, then system, then app. Make sure to BACKUP your old version please and set your permissions what i usually do i select all boxes then reboot and try again. Im.just having issues with a few select apps downloading like parallel kingdom but i think its jokers skinny rom. One other thing as well is to make sure under settings and battery and data make sure ita not set to only work over wifi....

i had the same problem when i got my photon and freaked out till a guy in my class showed me that the data saver was enabled.
To disable:
Go to Settings--->
Battery & Data Manager--->
Data Saver--->
and uncheck Data Saver
they put the data saver option on the phone because next year they will no longer offer the unlimited data plan
I had the same problem too on my Motorola DEFY+. This is the solution. Now it works fine. Thank you!

Mobile IP registration Error?

Has anyone experienced this error, or know why I'd be getting this error. I'm currently running a stock unlocked and rooted, and used the Deblur script. Almost every time I'm roaming I get this error, and have no data connection. I can make phone calls, but no data. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I thought about sbf back to complete stock to see if it keeps happening or not.
Just means an app tried using the web but you weren't connected. No need to restore
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
But I can't use data though. I was able to do this before, but now for some reason when I roam, It gives me the error. I tried updating profile and prl, which was successful when I was in a sprint area, but when I roam I get the Mobile IP error.
I get this same error, but my setup is alot different. Photon 4g flashed to pageplus (verizon) with voice and sms working but no data atm. Roco rom, unlocked. More info, there is 89 of these errors.

I was also having this issue -- tried updating PRL and profile, and it seems to have fixed the issue, at least for now.

I did this also and no more errors come through, but still no verizon/ ppc data.
Just to ask the obvious, do you have data roaming enabled in the settings?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Yep, that's the first the thing I do when I flash a rom, is make sure that the data is working, so I check the roaming data.
Mobile IP Reg. Response Error
Go in to >Settings > Battery and Data >Data Delivery and make sure Background data and Data Enabled are checked.
Under Wireless and Networks select WiFi settings, press Menu and select advaced. Change WiFi sleep policy to NEVER.
Hope this helps and I know it is a bit Obvious, but that Background and Data Enabled located under Battery and Data seems a bit ridiculous to me.
I had this error also. All the settings you mention were checked and double checked and nothing solved the issue. Since I have flashed CNA I have not experienced it in the last 24 hours.

AT&T Note - have full bar - can make call - but no data

I have AT&T Note, stock ICS, rooted. I have been having problem with inconsistent data connection, even though I have good AT&T signal. For example:
1). Signal is 4-5 bars
2). I CAN make phone call
3). Open browser, Gmail, etc - the "4G" icon shows it's trying to connect, but nothing happened. All the application will timed out.
I tried this in different locations (home, work, airport, etc.) and same problem.
I didn't change the APN or install custom ROM. I am trying to figure out if this is just my phone (bad radio, etc.) or a widespread, known problem for AT&T stock ICS.
Please chime in if you have the same problem.
Did you try powering down.... Then a battery pull..... Battery back in.... Reboot..... Turn off wifi... Make sure data is turned on..
Write back.... Good luck

I did try those, specifically:
1). Power down and battery pull out
2). Airplane Mode
3). Disable WiFi and BT - leave only cellular signal
The only thing I have not done is hard reset.. But before doing that (it'll take me a long time to re-configure everything), I want to get feedbacks from other first..
BTW, the ONLY thing I can think off that MAY mess up with the connection is Avast! Anti-Virus. It has a built-in firewall (root required) to prevent select apps from accessing the Internet. However, with WiFi, I have no data connection issue even with Avast! firewall running.
Un install avast and see if that helps.

I did, same thing... Can make voice call but no data. Even when I rebooted and pulled the battery. About 10 minutes later.. data magically comes back!
Does anyone else have this problem? If yes, please chime in..
I am thinking of doing hard reset. Will this make my Note lose root?

I can't reset the default APN...check I can't even edit it. I think AT&T blocked it.
Did you just get the note or did this just start happening? If you just got the phone did you buy it new or used?

you are right.. you cannot edit and change the default ATT APN....
BUT!!!
You can create a new one.... and choose the new one over the default...
you are allowed more than one APN...
Modem .....and APN settings are the most likely causes.
APN settings first of course.....g
Thanks for the suggestions.
The original APN cannot be edited, so I created a new APN and select that. When I press the "back" button and go back to the list of APN, the phone AUTOMATICALLY selected the original APN, not mine.
I selected that again, press back button and waited for 5 minutes (in case the phone trying to update whatever it needs with the new APN). Went back to the list of APN and the original APN was selected again! (???).
So I think something went awry with my phone (I already uninstalled pretty much everything), and just for a test, installed a new ROM (Padawan v7). So far so good, but I haven't done extensive testing (at home, not traveling) yet.
Of You Are on a stock room when you are in the apn's try taping menu and see if you get a reset defaults option
