Samsung J7 Crown - No LTE or Mobile Data

[TracDoll]

I can no longer use mobile data. I can receive and send text messages and phone calls without a problem. I can use the Wi-fi with no problem. But trying to access any apps or the Internet in general with ONLY mobile data will not work. Notably, the LTE designator on my Verizon Wireless signal strength indicator is gone.

Last week around Tuesday or Wednesday I received a notice about an update, which I applied. Since I was home and on Wi-Fi the entire week, if that update had anything to do with removing or disabling the LTE connection I wouldn't have noticed it until I went out of the house for Christmas. It was then I discovered the problem.

I have reset my phone multiple times. I've gone through the prompts via the 611611 number. I've done the 'turn the phone on airplane mode for 30 seconds' trick. I've turned off Mobile Data and turned it back on. Mobile data worked fine prior to this last phone update but now I simply can't get it to work. My APN has been checked via 611611 and determined that my "data settings have already been configured". I've tried in multiple areas, so it's not a signal problem either. I have three to four bars worth.

My APN is TRACFONE.VZWENTP

I have the same situation with a Samsung J3 Orbit. As you suggested I relate it to applying that last 'configuration update'.

I've tried the 611611 support, selecting 'data' option. It replies I don't have data on my device which is not what the tracfone site says.

My APN is the same as yours, but I thought I remember mine using T-mobile prior to the update.

Perhaps that's a key to this nonsense.

Have you received anything other than the canned response from Tracfone?

I too am having the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy J7 Crown. Since the update I am unable to use my mobile data, wi-fi seems to be fine. I have also restarted my phone numerous times and tried turning different functions off and on but still the data isn't working. I would like to know how this will be fixed. This is very inconvenient when there is no wi-fi available. Thank you.

Same problem hers we have 2 Samsung Tracphones with no Mobile Data working. I have the Samsung J7 Skypro and the J7 Crown none of them have mobile data working. For almost 2 weeks now called Tracfone did the 611611 chat so far all useless information 4 calls and 8 hours of back and forth this is unprofessional and I want this issue fixed or I will start my complaints to all the agencies. It appears to be a glitch with the Samsung specific J7 models having these issues I sugest a real tech jump in here and fix it the problem is on Tracfone or Verizon end not ours. I also did everything complete factory reset no airplane mode you know us the people are not as dumb as you think we know how to use a phone these troubbleshooting steps are from tracfone are like for dummies we are not fools please get the problem fixed the problem is on Tracfones end.
