[Q] Unable to use mobile data with my SGS3 (Need APN Config) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A week or two ago I updated to the latest version of the Resurrection Remix Rom. It seems this wiped my APN settings as I needed to use my mobile data today only to find that nothing was happening (no icons appearing in the status bar). The thing is, the link on the T-Mobile website that sends the text with APN settings to your phone doesn't work. I have tried manually setting the APN settings using different sources, but none of them work. To double check, I restarted my phone after each change, but still, nothing.
I am based in the UK and I'm on T-Mobile. Does anyone have a working APN config for T-Mobile that I can use?
Thanks in advance!

You can call T-Mobile and request APN for your device. In most countries, the carrier can also send a config sms that sets up the APN.
Also please make sure that Mobile Data is set to ON. It is overlooked in so many cases.
PS: Was your phone carrier-locked?

Name: everywhere
APN: everywhere
Leave everything else blank.
I'd guess you have other problems than just APN settings, try a full wipe and flash again.

settings > wireless and network > mobile network > access point names > t-mobile
apn type: internet and mms
under access point names its blank. I can add a new apn but im not sure what all to add as far as proxy, port, user name, pass, server, ect...
edit: I got it to work thank you.
Also lost Data after flashing Wifi Calling app ...can't change settings in Mobile networks
think I've lost baseband...(whatever that means...basically phone won't recognize a sim card is loaded) is there a way to fix this without Oding ?
Does the phone say there's no SIM card inserted? If so, run to any T-mobile store and ask for a new SIM.
Also, I was having data issues two days ago. I keep a copy of the KB5 modem that's flashable in Recovery. Just re-flash and all was good.
T-mobile APN address:
epc.tmobile.com
Wish I could attach the KB5 file for ya, but I can't. Just search for it.

Whatsapp refuses to work over data only wifi

Im running the latest Omega rom and Ive noticed that Whatsapp refuses to work over data (3G) connection even if other application are not so picky. Whatsapp works as supposed with wifi connection, Please help. Several people asked this over the internet, but nobody answered.

I had the same problem not only with whatsapp but also with viber etc. I fixed it by creatin my APN settings manually.
Settings/Mobile Network/Connection Settings than tap home buttons left key / New APN
you can ask APN settings to your cell provider.
Usually it's not the cause of Whatsapp but your provider blocking it.
Many (if not most) providers are either incapable or unwilling to use transparent packet inspection (not necessarely Layer-7) and rely on the phone to have a Proxy server configured in the APN.
Interestingly exactly this proxy is usually not even given in the configuration details.
Some providers (such as mine) even attempt to do their bandwith throttling via the proxy. I don't complain since I don't use it =)
But other applications are ok with this default configuration. And Whatsapp in my HTC phone worked ok on 3G data with default settings...
later edit - found the solution 4 the problem, when flashed the new omega rom, it put all the APN profiles my provider has, including some ****ty MMS and WAP APNs. After I deleted those and left only the Internet APN, things got back in normal.

Just restor APN to default
I too had a problem in whatsaap with my Galaxy SIII - O2 germany network. Whatsapp was not working on mobile net but was super fine on wifi. I restored APN to default then it again fine.
Whatsapp application problem
Hi all,
I am using samsung galaxy s duos.I am unable to send messages through whatsapp when I am using aircel network,other networks it is working fine.Is that the problem with aircel n/w or whatsapp application.If any suggestions pls give me replies......http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Also had a problem with WhatsApp messages not being delivered when on 3G but they would on Wifi. I thought it was something to do with droidwall but the resetting off APN settings makes sense.
I shall try that and hopefully it works.
Okay resetting the APN's did not work.
I am running Omega Rom and Jkay but this happened when I ran stock as well.
On 3G messages will sometimes come through immediately, sometimes not. They will always come through on Wifi. They will also come through if I open Whatsapp. Not sure if it is ISP related but when I had a Nokia on same ISP I never had this problem.
Does anyone know if something in Droidwall would be blocking this?
Thanks!
I was having problems since yesterday with my phone. Even not having the S3, one quick look here and found the solution. Thanks.

Go to Mobile manager>Data usage>control app data usage. Scroll down to Whatsapp and tick mobile data box.
This worked on my android phone.

Reseting apn settings to default worked for me :good:

S2 can call and text but cant connect on mobile data.

I rooted and flashed my GF's SGS2 with wanamlite 13.0 ROM and its perfect.. but now, she called me and asked why she cant connect on the internet using mobile data.
No signal indictors like 'E', 'G' or 'H' are showing even she enabled the mobile data and neither changing GSM to CDMA vice versa worked.
She has also tried restarting the phone, searching the network operator and choosing the right one but to no avail. Her sister also has the same network provider but she doesnt have any problems on the mobile data.
Is it possible that it is a Phone defect? I really doubt it since she can do text and call using her SGS2.. Im confused >.<
PS: I've already tried searching this kind of question so please, dont post 'letmegooglethatforyou' links. Thank you.
First thing you do is go to the carriers website & get APN settings, write them down & check the APN settings on the phone. If there are APN settings on the phone but they're different in any way to the ones you got from the carrier's website, change them. If there aren't any on the phone (in settings/mobile networks/access point names), these need to be entered, make sure APN type is set to default.

Thank you for your wonderful advice..
Im so stressed that I even forgot that there is an APN settings needed (I swear that it is automatic in my own S2).
Anyways, I'll call her once again and try to work things out.. I hope she can understand and follow how to check/change the APN.
Will update once done.
Thanks again!
No probs Post again once you've checked/put the correct APN settings in if it's still not working & we'll nut it out further.

[Q] Configuration Messages on CM10

Hello,
My network operator uses configuration message to let you use Mobile Data
so i sent a message to 250 with the word "set" as i always did on the Samsung Stock Rom
but with the CM10, I didn't receive anything
and in the message app on the samsung stock rom when i click the menu button, there was an option for managing Configuration Messages
but that's seems to be missing on CM10
{Q} Is CM10 able to use Configuration message somehow or what ?!
The point of the configuration messages is so that you can install the APN settings for the particular carrier you're on. CM10 will automatically install the APN settings for your carrier (unless you're on a ridiculously obscure carrier) so there's no need for the configuration messages.
Are you getting a data connection? If you are, a then all good. If not, check your APN settings and see what's happening there.

No, I don't get any connection without that configuration message
and Where is that APN settings ?!
Settings then more settings then mobile network then access point
Andrew have you seen where the default CM APN's don't cover a given carrier? I've been on a pretty obscure carrier with custom ROM and still been fine...

Iv never had problem with apns till I stuck a different Sim in a stock Rom.

Edit APN Settings

I tried to edit the APN settings on my V10 and I am unable to do anything but modify them. I can only add? Anyone else notice this? I am on stock ROM, but I am rooted. Thanks
Dial 277634#*#
In the hidden menu, click on unlock apn, reboot. Then you can edit them...

I tried this and no joy
I have modified mine a couple times as i once was having mms issues - what exactly happens when you change yours?
Did mine yesterday, didn't have LTE only 3G.
From the settings icon I went in with DATA enabled, if disabled if wasn't able to make any changes.
If I'm on the T-Mobile unlimited what APN settings can I choose from?
I know when I had straight talk I could change back and forth between Straight Talk and one or two other ones but I don't know anything about T-Mobile and the different APNs you can use
