The owner of a mobile phone on Android today has almost unlimited possibilities: he can not only find out the remaining traffic on MTS and install a useful application, but also independently connect to the Internet - a Wi-Fi network or a mobile hotspot of his operator. This can be done in just a few seconds; subsequently, it will be enough to simply enable the selected data transfer method. Let's try to figure out how to set up the Internet on a smartphone.
Get automatic settings
To be able to use the mobile Internet, you need to place a SIM card with the appropriate capability in the smartphone tray. After placing a new card, the device will send a request to receive automatic settings. They will arrive in the form of SMS notifications. You just need to save and use them. When deciding how to set up the Internet on Android MTS, all that remains is to turn on the Internet and check its functionality. If the parameters are correct and the card balance is positive, then you can start surfing the Internet. Many gadgets have preset settings, so the Internet works immediately after placing the SIM card in the tray.
If the connection does not work with automatic settings, you can submit a request to receive parameters from your mobile operator. Thus, it is very easy to solve the question of how to set up the Internet on an Android phone? To do this we do the following:
- MTS. We send an empty SMS to number 1234 or call call service 0876. You can also go to the website and indicate your number there;
- MegaFon - send number 1 to 5049;
- Beeline - call 06503;
- Tele2 - call number 679.
The question of how to set up 3g Internet on Android has already been practically resolved; all you have to do is wait for the network settings, save and use them. After making changes, it is better to restart the device. This is not necessary, but sometimes the Internet does not appear without it.
Mobile Internet
Nowadays, almost always, an Android smartphone connects to mobile hotspots of cellular operators automatically - without the owner having to configure anything manually. And yet it happens that the Internet on the phone does not work; To make sure that the issue is not incorrectly “picked up” data, the subscriber should adhere to the algorithms given below.
MTS
To manually connect and configure mobile Internet from MTS, you will need:
- In the already known “Connections” section, enter the “Mobile networks” subsection.
- Next, select “Access Points”.
- If necessary, switch to your SIM card in a new window.
- Click on the “Add” button.
- In the “Name”, “Access Point/APN”, “Username” and “Password” fields, enter a single value - mts .
- Going a little further down the page, for the MCC and MNC parameters, specify 257 and 02 .
- The authentication method (on some models, the authorization method) is PAP or PAP/ CHAP .
- In the “Access point type/APN” line, manually enter the default .
- By tapping on the three dots in the upper right segment of the window, call up the drop-down menu and select the “Save” option in it.
Important: changes will take effect automatically; Now, to connect to the mobile network on the phone, the user just needs to select the newly created access point and wait until the connection is established.
You can delete any point in its settings by selecting the corresponding option in the already familiar context menu.
Tele 2
The owner of the smartphone can find out in detail how to connect the Internet on Tele 2 on the World Wide Web. For the simplest mobile network setup, all you need to do is:
- Repeat steps 1–4 from the previous paragraph. In the “Name” and “Access Point/APN” fields, type tele2 internet and tele2.ru .
- Refuse authentication in the dropdown list.
- And as the access point type, enter the parameter default, supl without spaces.
That's all - now, as in the previous case, you need to select the newly created access point and start enjoying all the delights of the mobile Internet from Tele 2.
Beeline
To connect a smartphone running Android OS to a Beeline signal, you will need:
- In the “Name”, “Access point/APN” and “Username” fields, indicate beeline internet , beeline.ru and beeline (in some cases you may need to enter a password - it is the same as the username).
- For authentication (authorization), use the PAP .
- default value in the final line “Access point type” and saving the changes, the phone owner can finally connect his device to the Beeline wireless network.
Megaphone
The process of setting up mobile Internet from Megafon on a smartphone running Android is as follows:
- The user creates a new access point and enters the megafon and internet , and the “Username” and “Password” - a single gdata .
- For MCC and MNC, indicate 255 and 02 default as the access point type .
- Ready! Now, to turn on the mobile Internet, just expand the notification shade and tap on the easily recognizable icon.
- After a few seconds, the user will see a letter indicating the signal quality next to the icon of the SIM card on which the wireless network is connected; if nothing appears, you need to restart the phone and repeat the above steps for your operator.
Check the communication module
If there is no network on the smartphone, but the card is working properly, the problem may be in the hardware of the smartphone. Of course, without being a specialist, you will not be able to perform a complete diagnosis. But there are some things you can check.
If your mobile phone does not pick up the network, remember if you dropped it before or if water got on it. The last point is very important. It seems to you that you have dried your smartphone well, but one drop on the printed circuit board is enough for the contacts to quickly oxidize and the device to begin to malfunction. In this case, you need to quickly take the mobile phone to a service center so that it can be disassembled, cleaned, and the damaged contacts can be soldered.
The impact may cause the wire from the antenna or the SIM card slot cable to fall off. Open the phone, take out the SIM card and see if all the contacts are there. If at least one is bent or broken, the smartphone will not work with the cellular network.
Some articles advise disassembling the phone, checking whether the cables are in place and trying to fix the damage. But I don't recommend doing this if you don't have experience. If you suspect a breakdown, contact a specialist.
Moisture ingress
And it’s not uncommon for the lack of communication to be caused by water getting on the board. Even if you have dried your phone well, there may still be water left under the chips. Contacts oxidize and rot. Sometimes even one oxidized SMD capacitor near the antenna is enough for your phone to stop receiving the signal from the telecom operator.
For example, the new iPhones have modem and communication chips located directly under the SIM connector.
And in the old ones they are located nearby, but nevertheless, the risk of moisture getting through the connector onto the microcircuits is quite high.
Without soldering and cleaning the microcircuits with special liquids, the connection cannot be restored using software methods.
How to give away your Wi-Fi password
Modern Android smartphones (Android 10 and above) have learned to share Wi-Fi in just two clicks. Previously, the topic was discussed by the author of AndroidInsider.ru Igor Bukalov. A colleague went over in detail all the nuances of how this feature works.
To share Wi-Fi on Android , you just need to follow the simple instructions:
- Unlock your phone.
- Go to Settings, Wi-Fi.
- Tap on the access point you are connected to.
- Then a QR code with encrypted data will appear on the display.
- After that, take the second device.
- Download a QR code scanner.
- Point the camera of the second smartphone.
- Ready.
QR code is the easiest way to share Wi-Fi.
Understand roaming
The reason for connection interruptions may be related to roaming settings. Here we are not talking about traveling abroad (although we are talking about that too). There is also roaming within the network. Without going into details, I will say that it should be turned on. This is done in the “Mobile networks” section.
When all these settings are set correctly, but the smartphone still does not work, there are two more options left - update or reset the firmware. By the way, if you were flashing your smartphone before the breakdown, perhaps you downloaded something wrong into it or there was a glitch during the process. Then these two options are one hundred percent yours. Both of them involve deleting all data from the smartphone's memory. So before you start, make sure you have your files backed up.
Main reasons
For information on what to do if your phone does not connect to Wi-Fi, please follow the link. Here we will talk about the mobile network.
Common causes of problems:
- The SIM card does not connect to the slot or is faulty.
- Moisture has entered the mobile phone. For example, during rain.
- There is no network where you are or there was a failure on the operator’s side.
- The settings are wrong or the software is buggy.
- Your smartphone is broken.
Now let's take a closer look at each situation and see how to deal with it.
What to do if the network problem occurs constantly
Short-term disruptions in the mobile network are normal. This may be due to problems with the operator or a poor signal in the place where you are trying to connect. But it happens that the phone has poor network reception all the time. All settings have been checked several times, the firmware has been updated to the latest version, and the SIM card is known to be working. You have already called the operator twenty times, and they say that everything is fine on their part.
In this case, the network probably disappears due to the fact that your smartphone is broken - the processor is faulty, the transmitter has failed, or the board has generally become unusable. Alas, there is nothing you can do here. Take the device for repair. Perhaps they can fix it. If repairs are impossible or unreasonably expensive, you will have to fork out for a new smartphone.
