So I got my XZU on Friday. Bought a Petro Canada Mobility sim, cut and inserted it, and I am able to call and text without problems. Issues arise when I want to use mobile data. I filled out the APN info as the Petro Canada site said (located here at 5.f) and that didn't work. I googled around and tried various other ones, which also didn't work.
I called Petro Canada, I called Sony, and they each say to call the other and that everything is working with their respective equipment.
I don't know what else to do, I don't know if I'm missing something in my settings, and I hope you guys can help.
The 2 settings configurations I tried/keep trying are:
(1)
APN: goam.com
Proxy: 10.128.1.69
Port: 80
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
(everything else not set/default)
(2)
APN: goam.com
Proxy: 10.128.1.69
Port: 80
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS port: 80(everything else not set/default)
I should also note that I have tried the option to "Download settings for Internet and MMS" (it prompts me to select Fido or Rogers, and I choose Rogers because Petro Canada uses their network), and if while it's downloading, I go to the APN page, I see the APN it is attempting to download, and it matched settings (1) I listed above, only named SONY GPRS. It then fails to download and leaves me with nothing.
Thanks for the help.

Just to be sure, since Petro Canada is using another network: you have got Data Roaming enabled in the settings?
I'm using a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) myself, and when I disable Data Roaming, I can't get a mobile internet connection either. But then again, if that were the issue, the phone should give you a notification.
I remember having internet connection problems with my previous phone, and I solved them by simply leaving the proxy settings blank (server address and port number). Maybe you could give that a try?

I was gonna mention that about proxies also, it's unusual for an operator to use a proxy locally isn't it? Definitely worth a go to leave it out.

So I recently flashed my att xperia from 16. to 2.1 and I've tried all the apn settings that you guys provided but none of them work. Still can't get on att 3g.
I did the automatic method and it comes up with 2 apn. The ones that my x10 pulled up from att are the following. One is MEdia Net and the other MEdia Net MMS that's it no more. My wife also has an x10 but is still on 1.6 and hasn't flashed hers to 2.1. When I go into her apn names her phone only displays one called ATT. I even copied her apn setting and deleted the other ones on my phone and I still can't get 3g not even an E or H like some people on the forum get post flashing to 2.1. Can anyone help. Please don't give me the common apn settings because they don't work. Someone who has fixed their 3g after the 2.1 flash help!

Was this the official update or the generic or world? did you do a battery pull? putting in the apn setting is all I needed to do, mind you I am on the nordic.. perhaps flashing it again will solve the problem.
Good luck!
download the firmware from this link and re-flash your phone. I am on AT&T and i used the same link to flash. everything works fine for me. In fact i am getting 'H' network on AT&T which is faster than 3G.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10738287&postcount=1
this is the same as mine
it should just be in the apn settings no. I don't want to reflash because everything works great except 3g. Here's the the firmware i used world.x10a_1.0_2_1_A_0_435.ftf.
Model number
x10a
Firmware version
2.1-update1
Baseband version
2.1.54
Kernel version
2.6.29
[email protected] #1
Build number
2.1.A.0.435
Everything sounds right. Try repair software on SEUS or PC Companion instead of flashing the same downloaded firmware. Don't worry, it won't put you back to 1.6, and it will give you a fresh install of official SE firmware. If that doesn't work it might be a hardware issue.
Also: on a side note. Did you use the flash tool and firmware from xda and unbrand, or did you get an official SE update from SEUS or PC Companion? I'm only asking because someone posted a comment somewhere else saying he thought AT&T was finally releasing the 2.1 multitouch update.

Y don't you call AT&T and ask them to resend the settings over the network?
You can just say that 3G stopped working for no reason.

I did use SEUS already and it did upgrade but still no 3g. I used the flash tool provided by Binary in the forums. Why would it be a hardware issue when it had 3g on it's original 1.6 att droid? It happened after downloading 2.1.
I have the x10a_1.0_2_1_A_0_435.ftf with mt already in it. What are your apn settings for att? Should i delete the MEdia Net and MEdia MMS and manually enter a new apn for ATT like on 1.6 att phone that i didn't fash yet? Heres what auto search put in.

You don't have the app APNroid running or some other data restriction running like a battery saving app or task killer, right? Even if you mess the apn up it will correct itself to media net and media net mms. Since it even downloaded the settings means something is working. Try settings / wireless & networks / mobile network / network operators / search mode / network search/ automatically search. It will search for a while, then it will give you 3G AT&T, 2G AT&T DR, and 2G AT&T to choose from. Select 3G and let it register. If auto doesn't work try manual network search. Also, try turning wifi off.

I think repair software will work. If not, then do what I said in my last post with register network operators. That isn't the same thing as apn settings. Those seem to be correct. Let me know how it goes.

still no H after repairing with pc companion.
it pulled up 3G AT&T, 2G AT&T DR, and 2G AT&T. I picked the 3G ATT and it registered but still no internet access on 3g. It has to be in the settings then. How do I check if APNdroid is running?

Settings: under mobile network "data traffic" should be checked and network mode should be set to "GSM/WCDMA preferred". Media Net should be selected in APN. Turn WIFI off. Register network with operator. Reboot.
Uninstall Apps: APNdroid is an app you would have downloaded yourself. If you have restored your market apps, uninstall any task killers, app managers, data, wifi, or battery apps. Make sure wifi remains off. Reboot.
If it does not connect after all that, it's probably AT&T not you. Especially if you can send/receive yourself a mms. Call them and tell them to test your data connection. Don't say anything about unbranding or updating. They don't need to know. Especially if under warranty. If they can't fix it, they won't be able to tell anyways. If they do fix it, don't give them time to notice.
I hope this works. I know how frustrating it can be. Last piece of advice, it is almost always something simple that you're missing. Let us know. Good luck.

The APN settings really don't matter as long as you have an APN wap.cingular.com. I've tried all different APN settings, including yours, and the phone always corrects itself to Media Net and Media Net MMS.
I really think it's AT&T that needs to re-establish network connection. It's not recognizing the SIM card or something like that. It happened to me before.
Edit: So what happened when you called AT&T? I'm guessing that was it by your absence.

Some ROMS use the "wap.cingular" APN as the default for AT&T, which won't get you full download speeds in some markets (such as mine). The "phone" APN is currently the best one to use on HSPA phones on AT&T.
OP, the best APN configuration to use it just 1 APN:
Name: (doesn't matter, something like AT&T HSPA+ is fine)
APN: phone
mmsc: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
mms proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC:<don't change number>
MNC:<don't change number>
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
everything else: not set or unspecified
With the old APN configurations floating around, sometimes MMS would not work depending on the ROM. But I have yet to get experience an MMS failure using the APN I posted above, regardless of ROM.

Firstly, I don't want to bring an old topic back from the dead, but is there any CSC that is known for having the proper (or more compatible) ATT settings? It seems to me the BTU is a bit off (data connection) compared to my old phone. Though the above settings helped. Or is it all strictly about the modem?
I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 which I purchase May 30, 2013. I am going to Hong Kong and Thailand next month and would like to add a sim card that I will purchase in each of these countries, to get both talk and data. My phone is rooted already. I found a post online that mentioned somebody had been able to do this since Verizon Phones 4G phones are unlocked, but I never found anything definitive. I am not sure if this is correct but I am trying to confirm. I went into my phone and found where to actually manually enter an APN. Right now it is set to VZWINTERNET. Would I just replace this with the APN of the carrier I want to use?
Entering Access point name information manually: google "APN for thailand carrier" and then enter it.

I have a VZ S4 and am visiting the other countries. I'm in Singapore now and will be heading to Vietnam and Thailand. So far I just bought a Sim prepaid card here and the sales rep activated in and inputted the APN info for me. Works like a charm. Phone and data. Too bad data is 3g as they don't offer 4g prepaid. I'll be doing the same in Vietnam and Thailand. Im with a group and we only bought 1 sim and uses my rooted S4 as a WiFi hotspot for everyone else to use

I found that once you get into the APN menu then you click the lower left corner of the S4 and then brings up the "Add new APN" option however it is grayed out. I assume you have to enter a new Sim, and then it will give the option to change this.

In your dial pad type in *#*#info#*#* (numbers for info)
Go to phone info
Scroll down
Select prefered network mode
Select LTE or an option for local with

If not change your mode back to what it was before and call tmobile because they may have to sort some issues out for you

go to your network settings, when tmobile USA shows up with 4G click it to register, once thats done, go back a menu and click on network mode and change it to LTE/HSPDA/GSM (or what ever bands are used in USA)
you should have data connection but 4G depends on how good Tmobile USA Coverage is
You may need to call TMo and ask them to do whatever they do in the backend to reset the phone to network connection. Another thing is to look at TMo support site for the correct APN settings. In my case, data was perfect but MMS would not work because the phone settings were incorrect. Basically, call TMo. They will even email you the settings.
One last thing. Try airplane mode off then on and see it that helps.

I have tmobile when inserted the simcard in my z2 I've noticed that I'm not getting any internet connection so i went to Setting/wireless and networks/internet setting and downloaded all the files then I went to mobile netword and changed it to 4G Tmobile, starting that day I keep losing connection every time I have to go to mobile network and change it manually although it's set on automatic, most of teh times 4g doesn't work and I have to set it to 3g... it's really annoying

One thing I would do, is to call T-Mobile and register the IMEI so they can provision the unit. The settings on their end may have something which is preventing it to connect to it based on a previous phone's capabilities.
-----------------
I had something similar similar but it was with AT&T. In my case, it would not connect to LTE at all as it would stick on HPSA. This was because I had a S3 (UK version), which was only capable of HSPA+, and I had registered the IMEI with them prior.
I had a lot of problems getting my Z2 to work on T-Mobile as well. I finally used the following settings to get everything to work.
Create 2 APNs, the first should have the Following Settings:
Name: T-Mobile
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: defaul,supl,admin,dun,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Now create a second APN with the following settings:
Name: T-Mobile GPRS
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
With both of those created, go to your list of APNs and make sure your first one (T-Mobile) is selected.
These settings fixed my problems, hope you get it worked out.

I had a similar issue, is that why my phone doesn't have signal with tmobile cause I have to register the IMEI?

It is likely, make sure the internet/mms settings are downloaded too.
Once the IMEI is registered, they will able to see what phone it is and enable the proper features which the phone is capable of.
I heard it's best to let them know as the IMEI as well because they could flag the unauthorized phones and reject it from being connected the carrier.
I have an unlocked US Cellular S6 Edge model G925R4. I have rooted it and currently running stock ROM (Settings image attached).
I am using TMobile SIM on it and I am getting cellular network and am able to make calls. However I am having serious issues with Mobile data.
Mobile data did not work by default, I installed APN changer app and added the following settings for Tmobile:
Name: T-MOBILE
APN: fast.tmobile.com
Proxy: <Leave in Blank>
Port: <Leave in Blank>
Username: <Leave in Blank>
Password: <Leave in Blank>
Server: <Leave in Blank>
MMSC: hxxp://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: <Leave in Blank>
MMS port: <Leave in Blank>
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: <Leave in Blank>
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: Leave it to the Default one
Once I do this i see data network sparsely, most of the times it does not work. Multiple reboots did not make any difference.
To change the APN I am using "Change APN" app. I see the T-Mobile entries I have made on it sometimes but sometimes i do not (screenshot attached).
I saw on a similar post about correcting the permissions of few files in system/csc/ folder - namely customer.xml and features.xml. After doing this I saw the APN settings after reboot.
But they are gone after the next reboot. So I am not sure if the permission change made much difference.
I really like the phone but at this point it is unusable because of loss of Mobile data. Is there any way to improve the situation ? Be it a different kernel, ROM, modem or anything.
Also I have tried an AT&T sim on it with appropriate APN entries and mobile data did not work for it as well. So its not a problem pertaining to Tmobile network coverage.
Id love to hear suggestions from the community as I really would like to use this phone going forward.
I have the same phone. I was using it on cricket at first and now I am using it on T-mobile. The apn should stick even though it shows the unable to view access point name settings. Access is restricted.
The only problem I have is when it connects to 4glte it has no bars and I cannot send texts messages. If you go into the service mode just set it for gsm/wcdma
Here's screenshot of mine on tmobile
*also I think you are using a different kernel
Can you list the kernel you are using? I'm not sure of that might be the problem.

Get it from this link. Make sure it's the version 9000 from 12.06.15

Thanks for the link, I flashed the kernel from the link and when i added the APN i could see both network and data working fine. Network bars were almost full, but sadly after a reboot i again see no network and loss of data connectivity. I am able to make calls though.
At this point all I have done is changed the APN (tried both epc and fast). Apart from that I havent tried anything else. Just bugs me to think that everything worked perfectly which indicates that there is no issue with the phone/kernel/ROM. But again at the end its not working .. any suggestions ?
For me I would have to go into the service menu because 4g lte would not work. So I would set it to GSM/wcdma and that's what worked for me. Internet was a little slower though
But after today
I honestly just got fed up with it and went and traded it in for the t mobile version. It's a hassle because 4g lte wasn't working and sometimes mms messages would not properly go thru.
When I was using it on cricket it worked better than t-mobile though.

I am leaning towards letting go of this phone as its too much hassle at the moment. Thing is I bought it off Ebay and at this point I am not really sure if the problem is with the phone or just the fact that I am using Tmobile SIM on a US Cellular phone. If I end up selling it I dont want someone else to suffer the same way.
Will a Tmobile specific variant be fine or will that cause similar issues ? I really like the phone but the mobile data part is really putting me off.
I too also got it off eBay the US cellular edition g925r4 and was in the same situation. I got mine for 400. But t mobile took it as a trade in for $140. A loss on my end but right now the s6 edge is $100 off so it was $579.99 minus the trade in credit I received. Also you get a year free of Netflix so that's not too bad...
The t mobile version I bought at the store works perfect mms, texting, WiFi calling it updated twice already so no issues here. Works perfect on 4g lte too
Hmm maybe I'll try swappa once before going with t-mobile. I don't want to get into contracts.
