Unable to use mobile data on Sony Xperia 10 III 4.4.0.64

Vodafone Germany. Standard settings in Germany. IPv4 for roaming. Works on 10 III, 4.4.0.72.
4G, No VoLTE

Hi ! Have you tried disabling pin code of sim card as decribed in rhis thread : Xperia 10 III Mobile data stops working - #9 by rtr2001 ?

Roaming worked in Poland. Now in Austria I am completely down and out.

Telefone works.
No mobile data either with 2, 3 or 4G.
Neither with IPv4, IPv6, Dual, nor with SIM in slot one or two.

I am not amused. Seriously. :face_vomiting:

Thank you very much. Resetting the AP did not work.

Meant the trick #4 from OP which is #3 when you follow the link - resetting ofono settings

This prevented the phone.from registering in the network first. A reset of the AP helped here. But again I am stuck with telephone only.
I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Ok, I got it working!
I should have read @savaju post :frowning:

I was able to connect to mobile data using the following solution:

By simply disabling the SIM Card PIN, I’m able to have a (stable, hope so) mobile data connection.
It’s not 5G, but something like LTE speed (120Mbps/15Mbps).

My provider is Salt in Switzerland (salt.ch). I think it belongs to the same owner as Free.fr

In your home network or roaming? I had a very short stay in Switzerland recently but did not check for mobile data because it is rather expensive.

This does not work for me on Vodafone IT though.

Home network.
I had no problems in Spain with a Xperia10II, but unfortunately, I don’t remember the provider:(
Had problems in Greece with Xperia10III and Wind, I think.

I suggest aggregating the experiences and solutions and propose the following format:
“Land”, “Home/Roaming”

  • “Provider”, “OS Version”, “Model”: Solution → Speed
    Please put “?” in front if unsure, and “?” if unknown.

Spain, Roaming:

  • ?Movistar, ?v4.0.1, Xperia 10: no problems → ?/?

Switzerland, Home:

  • Salt, v4.4,0.72, Xperia 10 III: Remove SIM Card PIN → LTE 150/45
  • Salt, v4.4,0.72, Xperia 10 II: no problems → LTE 150/45

Germany, Home:

  • Vodafone: v.4.4.072, Xperia 10 III, No Problems, LTE

Austria, Roaming:

  • Vodafone: v.4.4.072, Xperia 10 III, No Data, LTE

Poland, Roaming

  • Vodafone: v.4.4.072, Xperia 10 III, No Problems after setting Access to IPv4, LTE

[Let’s limit the list to Xperia 10-Modells my XA2 did perfectly well in a number of European Countries]

Germany, Home:

  • Telekom: v4.4.0.72, Xperia 10 III:
    • no IPv4 and no mobile hotspot
    • 2G only in many areas where my Xperia 10 II had full LTE
    • with active SIM PIN mobile data connection seems unreliable, had to deactivate PIN

Italy, Roaming:

  • Vodafone IT, 4.4.0.72, Xperia 10 II: No problem → but slow, around 20-30
  • Vodafone IT, 4.4.0.72, Xperia 10 III: No SIM Card PIN → ok, but slow, around 20-30

So Vodafone IT works in roaming.
Everything points to an IPv6 issue.

@jameson Protocol was set to “dual” for Vodafone IT in roaming

Vodafone IT only provides IPv6 addresses to native customers, and data do not work. I assume that in roaming IPv4 addresses are provided.

I used Lebara in Australia this week with no problems. I also shared the hotspot which worked.

As usual, YMMV
