Hi all,
Thanks for taking a moment to see if you can help me out! I haven't been on the forum in a long time as I haven't had my Android devices going, but I'm back! (Older, and I wish wiser!)
I am flashing a few different custom roms to my SPG771 (karin), but even though it's recognizing the SIM card, the network is appearing, and the APN details look correct, I don't get any mobile network data transfer when off WiFi, I can't even get it to show 4G/LTE in the top bar beside the data strength bar.
Anyone experiencing anything similar with regards to cellular data on custom roms?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I should note, the data is working perfectly fine on the stock images from Sony, either using the nordic general or the UK custom.

hey folks,
I've been trying around to get a tool working which does count my internet stats.
I've already tried the following ones:
- netcounter
- 3g watchdog
- stats free
- traffic monitor
My device is a galaxy tab 10.1 p7500 (3G) latest stock firmware. rooted + cwm (no custom rom). Does someone else has a similar problem? It's counting Wifi data but not mobile ones. it's not displayed as zero but something like 68KB and I watched videos (connected to mobile data, yes! ) and run varios other applications with internet connection required such as mail, facebook, etc.
Thanks for your support
hey guys,
nobody else having this problem? It wouldn't matter that much at the moment but my internet flat is limited to 300MB HSDPA, afterwards GPRS/EDGE ... so I would like to have an overview about how much data I have used.
Would appreciate if anybody could help me out and let me know if I should test some stuff.
thx a lot
I have a unlimited plan, so i have not tried using counters, but i will try it for you.
EDIT: I tried 3G Watchdog and you are right, it doesn't work. So it seems that data counters are not compatible.
I have another problem, on my device it seems that the signal strength display in asu is stuck at 4. DBm seems to show the correct value but asu shows always 4. Can you please check what yours shows?
thanks for your reply.
same for me. dBm changes but asu shows always '4'.
on my DHD asu is changing nearly everytime. same for the galaxy tab 7" with android 2.3.3 of a colleague, asu is changing and also counters are working.
have you tried installing and using netcounter or something similar on your device?

Thanks for the info, i'm glad to hear that it's not a problem with my tab (or at least i'm not the only one with this problem). Hope it can be fixed with a future software update.
No i haven't tried any other data counter apps, but if 3g watchdog doesn't work, i'm sure none will work. This is either a problem with Honeycomb or Samsung modifications. I'm going to try and search and find out if any other people with other HC tablets have had such problems.
I have the verizon model and used 3g watchdog but now switched over to verizons app. Both worked for me and are pretty accurate when compared to my bill. Just sucks i dont have unlimited.
Tried 3gwatchdog and it was not counting... will email the dev.

that would be awesome to have a fix for that!
also found a german blog entry yesterday that it's a known problem but there is no fix yet
if someone can read german:

I searced a little, it seems these apps work on Xoom, so it can't be a Honeycomb problem. I found people are having problems only with European GT10.1 and GT10.1V, so it seems to be Samsung specific problem.
In 3G watchdog there is the option in settings to "Use pre-Froyo traffic counting interface"

already tried that, will not help!
would be really nice to have a fix for that because even there may be users which do not have a mobile data limit ... there may be some that have one
same here. cell data not counting. using traffic counter pro. maybe the incorrect interface have been selected. couldnt fi d the correct one yet.
Same here. Let me know if anyone has a option. It is not fun browsing in the dark (not knowing where my data plan is)
Will a custom ROM solve this maybe?

Seo fixed it over in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 V section.
To bad that he has the V version and not the normal.. he is a great developer..

try data counter widget. Works great for me
same problem here with 3g monitoring on my P7510
Hi,
This might be specific to my provider(Airtel) or city (Bangalore, India) so please excuse me for sending to such a wide audience. But I hope its specific to phone and there is a solution.
I keep loosing my 3g connectivity on this phone. It comes and goes and has now basically become a reliability issue. Most of the times I need to deactivate the data network mode and activate it back.
Has anyone else also noticed this?
It's because where you live 3G service is unstable, same with me also, it goes back to H+.
Regards.
or maybe you should try and change your modem.
try flashing KH1 or KH3, see if it matters..
Thanks for the responses. If its related to network, I guess I don't have a choice. About flashing the ROM, I have not yet rooted the phone and lies is still on KF3, so guess I will wait for the next update and hope things will improve.
I had some similar problems here in The Netherlands... I use a provider that is 'roaming' on another provider's network (for those who are familiar: I use Telfort, which roams on the KPN network).
The current CSC I have in my phone, is a specific CSC for The Netherlands (XENKE1). However, it keeps losing 3G connectivity over time, and I also need to reset the connection to get it back working.
For now I can solve this issue by manually selecting the operator instead of automatic operator selection. You might want to try this, it worked for me at least.
Thanks gscjot. Your solution seems to have worked. In last 20 odd hours I had to manually restart the 3g service only once. So I guess this is actually not a issue with the phone itself but the operator. Thanks a lot.
It might have something to do with the modem or CSC that is in the phone. I am currently on stock 2.3.3 but I tried Darky's rom as well (on 2.3.4). As this ROM has a different CSC, I could leave the network detection on automatic. Only setback then, is that the phone shows 'r' (roaming) on my home network and I have to manually disable 3G when I go abroad.
Best regards,
Gerco

Hmm, NL-KPN here with Polish CSC (OXA, don't ask me why, bought it in NL) but I stream internet radio on my way to work in the car for 70 km without losing connection once, and that includes 2 long tunnels.
All stock KG5 with only cf-root.
Still no relief

Hi,
Can anyone on 2.3.4 comment if they see the same issue as mentioned here. I am again back to my struggling ways and starting to believe that is this a software only issue and courtesy SAMSUNG.
Thanks,
Vishal
Hey, everyone. Using your AMAZING n00b guide and overall lurking of this website for several months since January I've done quite a few awesome things with this phone. Currently I am running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0-Ba2tF-Olympus (any further information how I got there can be provided if necessary). I'm having a slight issue though. I've noticed that sometimes I'll randomly have no data or cellular service what-so-ever. To gain access to data and cellular service at that point I will then have to restart the phone, wait for it to boot, turn on WiFi, wait for that to connect, use an application like Browser or Facebook to test connectivity, if data transmits then I'm good, then AND ONLY after I go through all that can I disable WiFi and connect through regular data and cellular channels. I was wondering if this has happened to any of you and if anyone had any idea on how to fix it?
If you need clarification I'd be more than happy to try and sort my explanation out for you.
Thank you all in advance and I hope to hear from you soon!
Hello,
Did your APN settings are good ?
You can found it there : Setting / networks / Mobile Networks / Access Point Name.
Where are you from, what is your carrier ?
Regards.
I am thinking you need to flash a new radio.
First, let me say I searched threads and forums looking for someone who had same problem and could not find any posting similar. The only one I found that similar was about the APN. I created a new APN using the settings I found in that thread, but it has not helped at all.
Got a pop-up/update message on phone yesterday about upgrading to ICS. I was running a stock HTC Amaze - not rooted - on Simple Mobile, and it was working great.
Upgraded phone to ICS OTA and love the new interface but having two problems, even after setting up the phone to run on the Simple network.
1. Phone is slow and will only run/display 2G whereas it used to be fast and say 4G.
2. Wifi tethering seems to be gone as it will not allow a tethered device to go to the page requested. (I have found threads about how to address this issue, so it is not a big concern like to 2g/4g speed issue.)
3. My android smiles are gone now......all I have are normal smiles. :-(
Any suggestions on what to do would be GREATLY appreciated.....
under mobile network settings, set your network mode to wcdma only.
I don't know much about the tethering issue, been on custom roms for a while, but apparently its a paid feature now. unlock your phone and install a custom rom, and you wont have that issue anymore
Could be a bad flash, though it doesn't really sound so, just sounds like they restricted a few things on other networks.
Fixed and working great....thanks sent to both who posted replies!!!!
Glad to see you got it fixed. If you don't get MMS, make sure you change your APN to the Simple Mobile APN. T-Mobile and Simple Mobile has slightly different APN settings.
Hey there fellas,
I tried to find something on the forums regarding this matter, but I found a very annoying bug/habit. I'm currently on InsertCoin 2.3.1 and tried a wide variety of modem firmwares, but when I'm in areas where I have a very bad signal (in the gym's basement, for example), I completely lose connection to my network provider from time to time. Sometimes, when my device is reconnecting, it cannot reestablish a mobile data connection. When this happens, I can't make or receive calls either, even though the signal bar shows a valid connection!
In a nutshell: After losing signal, the device seems to reconnect to the provider network, but not properly. Can't make phone calls, can't send or receive SMS, only indicator for this is the missing mobile data connection icon. Only a restart resolves this problem, but I'm not happy with restarting my phone multiple times a day!
Here are some topics that seem similar to my problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782204&highlight=losing+signal
http://www.samsunggalaxys3forum.com.../1214-losing-connection-cellular-network.html
As I said, I already tried different modem firmwares, always with the same result. Can anybody help me with that matter?

Solution: Check your current CSC and make sure it's set to your specific country!
I have the same issue from when I had stock ICS and now still the same with Jellybean.

Checklist Network,
One enter settings for network APN etc .
Two correct modem for network phone and location .
Three correct CSC for network/area
Four problem on original phone providers rom and modem ???
Five might be worth investigation of RIL .

I have the same issue.. at first I thought it was due to the crappy network provider .. however I tried putting my sim in my old Nokia e5 and got decent signal strength even in areas where the s3 was unable to connect to the network. I faced the same problem even in stock ROM updated to latest version available for my region.
Any help would be much appreciay .

I used to have this problem with my stock ICS rom, exactly the same situation you described. Can't make any call after coming out from a tube.
I9300XXDLJ4 (4.1.1) is all good in reconnecting the signal.

Okay, after a few days of testing and trying to get a bad signal on purpose, it seems that setting up the CSC did the trick for me. After flashing InsertCoin, I had a French CSC. So I switched it to Germany and now the reconnect issues seem to be gone! There is a very handy CSC switching tool for free in the Playstore, but be careful, your ROM must support MultiCSC and switching the CSC wipes your internal memory!
