Help My "data network mode" is not working....HELP!

[infusehelp]

It says data mode is activated but the symbol doesn't show up at the top of the screen and the internet is not working. I have been trying out battery savers and etc and i think it messed it up. Now my data thing is messed up. It won't show up on my screen....maybe i hit something and didn't notice....i don't know! Please help!

ETA: I had "Juice Defender" on my phone and now it's all messed up....

 

[infusehelp]

Wow thanks for the help guys.....geesh tough crowd!

Anyway i just did a factory reset and started over....so mods...you can close this thread.

This may sound like a dumb question but what did you do exactly? I downloaded the battery saver app and now my 4G isn't working. I can't receive picture messages and I can only use the internet with WiFi. It also makes my 4G symbol disappear when I turn on WiFi

Hi Maztor, I have the same problem (I hate that battery saver!!) and I finally found a way to restore my 4G data connection WITHOUT resetting the whole phone!!
if you go to Setting, then Mobile networks, then choose Access Point Names.
you should see at least the original one provided by your carrier (in my case it was Rogers Internet).
stay in this screen and press the bottom left button, the menu key.
then you should see a menu bar show up at the bottom of the screen, with 2 choices: "new APN" or "Reset to default".
just hit "reset to default", then it will start running and within 5 seconds you will see the APN has changed! (mine changed from "xxx.diabled" to "xxx.apn")
then just leave this screen and within 15 seconds you will start to see the 4G logo coming up again!!!!

I'm so glad I insist to try everything before going to the Fatory reset route!! I really don't want to have to set up my phone again!!!!
Hope this will help save your phone too!

I arrive at the Access Point Names and choose it. Then you said to choose menu button and you will see reset to default or new APN. I don't see 'reset...".

well it did change my APN back to normal by doing what you said, and i read that my APN was disabled or something. I tried to get on the internet after restoring it to default but my 3g icon still hasn't showed up. my data is enabled. I tried restarting my phone but it still isn't working

 

[rmc2139]

Same for me. Data not working, tried all the steps above, nothing. It already had factory settings, I just bought it...guess will be returning.

Thank you for the tip, I switched my service from a Canadian provider to a German provider and I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out why my data was not working. I created the new APN and everything works great!

YES THIS WORKED FOR ME! THANKS SO MUCH!!!! I have a Samsung Infuse and suddenly today with no warning whatsoever I lost Network connection. I could connect on Wi-Fi no problem, but anything on the 4G network was gone. When I looked in phone info under Status the phone said "Network State: disconnected"

I had tried toggling Airplane mode, rebooting + still no go.

I tried a few other things I found on this site and then I found the below and it worked!

Now, my question is this: What is the deal with this problem and do I have to use this new APN all the time now?

I'm Happy it worked for you!!!

The issue whit Samsung Infuse data network setting APN resetting has to do with but varies; sometimes the Samsung Infuse just resets on it's own or whenever you take the SIM card out, taking out the battery, and i also found out WiFi resets if from time to time.

For the most part, you will not have to worry about putting APN setting all the time, whoever, make sure you have the list of settings on hand.

I'm having problems connecting to 4G. It's been a few weeks and I haven't really noticed until today, since I'm usually connected through wifi.

For me, it says "APN Empty". I tried entering all the information below then hit save and it reverted back to the "APN Empty/Add an APN?" page. When typing all the info. in, it already had MCC & MNC numbers. Those were:
MCC: 310
MNC 260
I changed the numbers to the ones below when trying to add the APN. (Could this be because I have a different phone?? I'm phone illiterate..sorry!)

Just realized what I tried was for AT&T. I have T-Mobile. :smokingsomb: Below is straight from the web and helped me out:


Per T-Mobile:
Resolution Steps
Check settings and reset APN
Checking mobile network settings and resetting the APN resolves the majority of issues, and is much faster than verifying all settings.

If you have a battery saver app, check its settings. Some battery saver apps disable the APNs or data connection when the battery level gets low. You need to adjust these settings or uninstall the app to keep the data connection working
From the Home screen, press the Menu key.
Touch Settings.
Touch Wireless & networks. Depends on software version
Note: This varies on different software versions.
Android 1.6: Wireless Controls.
Garminfone: Wireless Manager.
Behold II: Phone Information.

Verify that the Airplane Mode or Flight Mode check box is cleared.
If you see a Mobile Network check box, verify it is selected.
Touch Mobile Networks.
If you see the following check boxes, verify they are selected:
Data Enabled
Use Packet Data
Data Roaming This will incur charges if you roam internationally, but it is required to receive data when roaming domestically.
Touch Access Point Names or APNs.
Press the Menu key.
Touch Reset to default.



From the Home screen, press the Menu key.
Touch Settings.
Touch Wireless & networks. Depends on software version
Note: This varies on different software versions.

Behold II: Phone Information.

Touch Mobile Networks.
Touch Access Point Names or APNs.
If there is a T-Mobile APN, touch it. If not, press the Menu key, and touch New APN.
Verify and update the following settings for the Data APN:
Name: T-Mobile
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MMS port: <Not set>
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: <Not set>
APN type: <Not Set> OR Internet+MMS (depending on software version)
Press the Menu key.
Touch Save.
In the list of APNs, delete all others that may appear. If there is a FOTA APN, you may leave that one. To do this:
Touch the APN you want to delete.
Press the Menu key.
Touch Delete APN.
Verify that there is a circle next to the one remaining APN to show it is activated.
Perform a soft reset.
Test your data connection, by accessing a web page or sending a picture message (MMS).

I made a profile just so I could say that cause I dealt with the issue for like 6 months and att didn't know Jack shit about how to fix it

PS: if you ever see me you may have your way with me

 

[pozo]

I was having the same problem where wifi was working, but the phone would not connect to the internet via 3G. I tried everything in this thread, but then I came across another solution that fixed my problem:

I held down the button on the right side of the phone until the power off screen came up. Then I just chose the "Data Network Mode" option.

Problem instantly solved.

Apparently this option turns the 3G off and on. I must have previously hit it accidentally.

Hope this helps.
