Thank you so much... This issue happened within a month of buying this phone. I have been trying to find a video that helps for about half a year.

[@andrewnmontemayor]

Life saver. I have MINT Mobile and my internet all of a sudden quit working. Resetting the APN settings worked

[@classrockin]

Great comprehensive video bud. I couldn't get my phone to go online without wifi, so I followed your steps and made a change on my "preferred network type" menu, and my phone immediately connected using mobil data. Thank you very much!

[@scorbunny7737]

Wish so bad that woulda worked for me 😖 but I am happy for you that it worked out successfully for you! 👌🏽👏🏾👍🏽😊

[@classrockin]

​@scorbunny7737 Yeah, he really helped me, sorry it didn't solve your problem

[@RickSuaz]

Thanks the airplane mode, turning off and on your phone and stuff worked! Thanks man much appreciated

[@ChrisShaw00]

Thanks. That was a very comprehensive review of possibilities. I couldn't understand why my Android Blackberry Key2 had suddenly stopped accessing, in particular, Google Maps when I was out and about. I had Network & Internet/Mobile networks "data services while roaming" set to On. Why then didn't it work? Following your various leads, I then discovered that in N&I/Data usage "Mobile data" was set to Off!!! All sorted now - hopefully! Thank you :-)

[@philipeames4749]

Excellent stuff thank you! For some reason in the APNs I had two 'Internet Everywhere' entries. Pressing reset sorted the problem 🙂

[@karensummerlin3631]

I read 3 articles and watched 2 videos before I found you. Your solution worked for me, when none of the others solved my problem. Thanks.

[@shashidhar2802]

How did you do cuz mine not working

[@HiImKirrian]

I honestly didn't expect any of this to work as these videos usually haven't helped me in the past but the first fix actually fixed my data instantly even after ordering a new sim thinking that was the problem alse i needed to do was reset the network thank you so much

[@charlieparkeris]

Manually entering APN settings worked for me. Thanks, I was thinking my phone was finished and I needed to buy a new one.

[@TheStevoth]

Thanks mate. I updated my Samsung Galaxy J6 to Android 10. My SIM is on PAYG. The phone automatically selects the wrong APN and so I have to set the APN to PAYG/VOXI data which now works.Cheers!

[@manny6511]

Thank you you don't know the scare I had

[@ArchieWW]

Thank you. Just switching my phone off and re-starting it solved my problem (unable to adjust my mobile data limit). Greetings from Scotland.

[@mastodonxrp5314]

Turning my Airplane Mode ON for 30 seconds, then back to OFF fixed my mobile and WIFE data problem on my Samsung phone. Thank you so much!

[@jarmadax]

APN reset to defaults worked for me, thanks a bunch!

[@djmcpeejay3408]

[@viratmanchanda7516]

Thank you. It helped me. A button was turned off that was preventing my phone from accessing the internet using mobile data.

[@TechFreak51]

THANK YOU !!!! ... For me resting APN to default was the solution !!!!!!

[@ElectroEducator]

Thank you so much friend, this was really helpful for me. Thank you so much...

[@frankyhadley3633]

Tried everything except taking out and puting back the sim thank you very helpful!

[@DandiLoyalfoot]

Excellent!!! APN fix, fixed my problem!!! Cheers

[@jimwirth1716]

Toggling airplane mode with a power off, power on worked! Thanks!

[@boomersooner9600]

Resetting my apn worked like a charm. Thank you.

[@dermot_smyth]

APN change solved it for me! Seems like it got changed after Android update. Thanks!

[@roberthannah7983]

Thanks - re-entering the apn settings worked.

[@taurahelms3068]

Thank you. I worked a 10-hour shift and my phone didn't work the entire day. I didn't know I could just switch air plane mode off for 30 seconds. That fix worked for my phone right away. Thank you.

[@sister-goodfaith772]

Thanks a lot! My phone is now working after applying the first fix. Keep up the good work!

[@seebertha]

Thank you,also. Had to put that asterisk on the end for it to work,,boom.So much appreciated.Took less than two minutes.

[@fazer134]

You just fixed my phone, many thanks from UK

[@DarioHuzjak]

Airplane mode trick helped me. Thank you!

[@Jesaja55]

My CAT S41 had problems after installing Android 8.0. Mobile data didn't work at all. Solution was to set network type to 3G in stead of 4G. This yields a different network icon (half filled). But i had to reset the APN (reset to default APN) and that resulted into two new APN's and a fully functional network. Thank you for tip 4.

[@syamellasyraf32]

Reset default worked for me,thank you🤗

[@aehfoibyr2931]

I put my phone in my pocket and it switched the apn to the "/" one at the bottom and I have spent several hours for a solution or I'm paying for internet that I can't use anymore.
Subscription justified.

[@danielarapache6516]

hello, I also have a problem, when I start the location the internet data goes off. It returns when the location is not used but how often an application uses the location the data falls. can someone help me . I also reset wifi and data and cache.

[@lullabyesmom]

[@KrisztinaLakatos94]

Hey guys! I managed to fix mine by adding the APN according to my service provider (I just looked it up on the website of the provider), so thank you very much for your tips!

[@geministar392]

Didn't work for me

[@Viper2k3sr]

Thank you. Was able to restore data via an APN reset. I guess with all the LG IMS issues my apn went away. It popped back up after an APN reset.

[@AshishKumar-br2px]

Thanks for you guidelines
I fix my mobile data problem

[@leonerose1715]

Oh ok, woke up to this lovely problem morning and panicked. Went to internet and my the grace of God, I found YOUR channel. Used your first suggestion to go to data mobile data - mine says automatic, that didn't work, next suggestion - take out SIM card...ok where's my box - found took out SIM card tool, SIM out, replaced, turned phone off, turned back on, YEAH it worked. I cannot begin to thank you enough. 🤬🥴🍾

[@kristi20731]

Thank you so much! I could not figure out how to get my data to work after doing a factory reset! I followed your instructions to manually add APN. It worked!

[@oliverh8446]

Thanks for the help. Had to do this for my mum's phone. Her APN settings had completely disappeared. I Googled her provider's APN settings (Virgin Media in her case) and entered them manually and it worked. How user-unfriendly is that though?!

@@ibrahimjr6865 well i think is because i wasted all my GB in like 1 day

[@lnc7711]

Mine too

[@zaus9697]

To me it sounds like you were using GSM simcard tray instead of the LTE one. When you put a simcard into the GSM one it only offers 2G I believe and it is really slow. But of course, this would only apply if you have a dual sim phone

[@HellsFavoriteLemon]

My phone is doing the same a 4gigs

Thanks man, I somehow screwed up my phone(it's a note 20 ultra) and I looked at my service bars and seen 1x, but now I'm back to 4g, thanks man
