Access to the internet blocked permanently #86

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Installed version 2.1.12 from the market
2.The upper button 3G/Edge/GPRS indicator is green, and the color does not 
change when the button is pressed.
3.The internet access is permanently disabled.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect I could press the button and have my access to internet back, i.e. I 
expect to have a possibility to switch on and off the access whenever I want. 
Now I cannot access internet, and, as far as I understand, if I uninstall the 
app, the access to the net will stay blocked!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.1.12 on HTC Desire HD, Android 2.2

Please provide any additional information below.

There is a well known bug in Android which randomly prevents phone from 
reconnecting. Turning phone off and on always helps in this case (if APNdroid 
has internet enabled, of course). To check whether APNdroid has enabled or 
disabled the connection, go to your phone settings and make sure that your APN 
name and type is not modified by 'apndroid' suffix. If it's not, you can 
uninstall the app safely.

I have the same issue. Apndroid permanently disabled my 3G (tmobile) internet 
connection. Not sure what to do now. It used to say 
epic.tmobile.com(disabled)apndroid and i uninstalled and not shows 
epic.tmobile.com(disabled)

You apparently used also some other app to disable internet, that added 
(disabled) suffix. Remove that manually and everything should work just fine.

fwiw, i'm having a similar problem on my nexus s (stock gingerbread). apndroid 
can toggle data off, but after that, there's no way turning it back on. the 
apndroid widget signals green (on), the green light in the apndroid app itself 
is on too - yet, no application is able to access the internet.

the only way to re-enable it is either rebooting the phone, or fiddling with 
the Settings > Wireless > Mobile networks options. It seemed to me that best 
way was to enable 2G and toggle "Data enabled" off and on (with apndroid set to 
enable).

After uninstalling apndroid I have no such issue, though it means i now have to 
toggle data deep in the mentioned settings menu, bohuzel ;).

(now that i think of it, maybe i'm getting it all wrong, but why doesn't 
apndroid simply work as a shortcut for the "Data enabled" setting? excuse my 
ignorance)

In APNdroid 3 we are using also this built-in switch, but there are 2 problems:
- it is private API and so we can't modify settings itself, meaning that 
APNdroid shows diofferent status than Settings
- since Android version 2.3.3 access to this API is restricted and not 
available at all

Hello Martin (I think you may be able to help me!!) I have a HTC Desire..had 
some problems with my mobile provider, so I disabled the internet for 2/3 
weeks..this has now been sorted out. The problem is that I have no internet 
access now, I downloaded an APN on/off widget via Elixir before I disabled the 
internet. I have lost the on/off widget and I have checked my access networks 
and the end in "apndroid-elixir". I need some sort of APN on/off widget to 
control my billing account..which one do you recommend? Elixir seemed to be 
working fine..is there any way of getting the widget back and restoring my 
internet access safely? Mark Bonnett
