No 3g on Nexus 4 LG

[siontrev]

Switched from an Iphone 4s to Nexus 4, upon putting the SIM in the nexus 4 i was promted to text 40127. Returing text message said I would have to update my settings manually. From reading other similar forum questions I updated my APN. No luck with multiple attempts.

Lost what to do and need of help.

Hi

Is this happening everywhere. 

Is 3G turned on in the phones settings?

Check its not a local masts issue.

You can check here https://www.vodafone.co.uk/explore/network/uk-coverage-map/index.htm

I use the Geeksquad settings paying careful attention to the relevant parts for Payg or pay monthly. 

From the home screen:

Tap the Menu button

Tap Settings

Tap Wireless and networks or More... (depending on your version of Android)

Tap Mobile Networks

Tap Access point names

Tap the Menu button

Tap New APN

Enter the following data into the onscreen form, without changing any other settings;

Name - Vodafone Internet

APN - internet (PAYG - pp.vodafone.co.uk)

Username - web (PAYG - wap)

Password - web (PAYG - wap)

MMSC - http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms

MMS Proxy - 212.183.137.12

MMS Port - 8799

Authentication type - PAP

APN type - If given a choice, select internet+mms, if the keyboard appears enter *

(As a check, the image below shows blue text in the fields you should have completed)

Tap the Menu button

Tap Save

Enable the newly-added APN by ensuring the line is ticked, or the radio button is lit by tapping on it

Check the notification bar for 4G, H, 3G, E or G with up and down arrows beside it, which will indicate your connection is working
