I posted the following on the CyanogenMod boards too, but no response yet. Hoping someone here can help me with this weird problem I have. Any help is much appreciated. Also this is my first post, and I'm quite a n00b, so please be kind.
Let me describe the problem in some detail:
When using Wifi everything works as per usual.
When using mobile data (Wifi disabled) apps cannot access the internet.
E.g. Whatsapp messages not delivered, No news/weather updates, Play Store wont load etc.
BUT I CAN browse the web . (Visit the CyanogenMod home page, Wikipedia etc.)
So I believe this can't be an APN setting problem or something of that sort, since there is internet access to the phone, just not to any app other than the Internet Browser.
I am a first time flasher, so please be kind. I used the instructions on: [https : //gist.github.com/1694742] to flash to CM7.1.0 (also followed the optional Gapps part). I couldn't use the instructions on the official wiki since my Hboot version is 2.00.0002.
It might be worthwhile noting that on my first boot, I tried to set up my Google account but failed, since (I presume) it could not get to the internet (even though the H sign is visible on top next to signal strength). Later on I can set up my Google account using wifi. Also no Google apps were actually there (even though I followed the instructions to flash them in) on first boot. I have to go to the market and manually download them (Gmail, youtube etc.) I'm not sure whether that is normal, but that's how it is. I have tried this entire process a couple of times, and always ended up with the same results: everything works on wifi, but apps (other than the Internet Browser) can't access the internet on mobile data (3G/H).
Also perhaps worth mentioning: I have now flashed to CM7.2 RC1 using ROM Manager, everything works fine, except that I have the same exact problem as before.
Any help is much appreciated !
Thanks in advance!
