Strange wireless issue w/ Key 2 LE (Freedom Mobile)

Hi all,

I'm on Freedom Mobile (Toronto) and out of nowhere yesterday afternoon, my Key 2 LE, when not on WIFI, cannot connect to websites or via apps that use the Internet (this includes social media). I *can* however make phone calls and send/receive texts.

I did some troubleshooting via Freedom's help team via Twitter (Airplane Mode -> take out SIM card -> turn off for 3 mins -> turn on -> put in SIM card -> take off Airplane Mode). No luck. They then asked me to text "Setup" to 41111, but I get an auto-response "Internet access cannot be automatically configured for your device".

Anyone ever experience this and/or have any tips for me to try?

Cheers!

Check your settings>net and APN settings. Make sure all these things match - https://www.freedommobile.ca/en-CA/s...ETBiChgcUc79Dv

Thanks, @Bla1ze. The APN matches except in the APN Type (it says "default, supl"), and for APN protocol it says "IPV4/IPV6". For the MMS it says, under MMSC "http://mms.windmobile.ca". Wind Mobile was the predecessor of Freedom.

How would I edit these (if that's necessary)? Or would I have to create a new file?

Technically, if it's in there and uneditable it should be fine. However, I'd still try creating a new one just to see.

So, I created a new APN file and switched over (there's no clear way to do this w/ the MMS file but that's neither here nor there). Didn't change matters, *but* when I switched back to the previous one and toggled the wireless connection, seems to have fixed the issue. Also seems to have fixed the not-lit up 4G icon.

Odd, but I'll take it!
