Mobile Network isn't working for Social apps and some games that require network connection.

The title says the problem. Let me elaborate it a bit further.

Ok the mobile network or data traffic or 3g or whatever u call it doesn't seem to work even though it displays the H thingy and 3G with arrows (uploads and downloads). BUT! it works just well on Google Chrome and TrackID and Google Play. Others such as Instagram, WeChat, whatsapp, etc.. doesn't work. Just kept saying error problem and stuff 😧 I've tried the safemode but not the reflashing ROM as I have a motherlode of stuff in the phone (Asphalt 8, RR3 and bla bla bla) so yea its rooted. WiFi works, phone calling works, Messaging works as well. I tried to see the speeds of uploads and downloads of the mobile network when using the browser and then compare it to lets say, when using instagram. The results : Browser (U:50Kbps, D:100kbps) <-- average , Instagram(U:below 1kbps, below 1kbps) <-- its like 50 or lower bytes, what the **bleep**? 😧

Sorry if my english confuses anyone, but hmm yea please help!  

I don't want to reflash ROM tho :C unless I have no choice :C

Anyone? 😧 I've tested more stuff on it, Google Translate works and downloading stuff through the mobile networks works ingame o-o. Seems like some apps doesn't work with it! 😧 I tried removing and re-inserting the SIM card.

Please help :C anyone?

Found the solution! I just changed the APN in mobile network settings! I only had .WAP and .mms and so changing the name of the .WAP to .INTERNET solved it! Now the only question I have is how did it became .WAP :0000000
Eg of the .WAP : dst.WAP <-- dst is my network name. Just change the WAP to Internet.

Hey, bro.. I am back :-P.. Even I have this problem when I play games like respawnables, shadow gun, fun run.. I don't understand ur solution.. Can u say it in other words..

[Andy9879]

Ok lemme try to explain this as clear as I can

 Open settings and click on the more below Xperia Connectivity, and click on Mobile Networks then go to APN (Access Point Names, and yea click on that). You will see 2 things there (Below is the image of the two settings I have, note that dst is my network operator)

<--- This should be what your 2 'things' or settings be.

  I changed the name of the dst.wap to dst.internet (last time it wasn't dst.internet). Here's how:   Click on the (networkname).wap and you will see many other stuff there. Click on APN and change it to internet from wap annnnddddd you're basically done. Magiccccccccccccccc. Mine is already .internet as I jut changed it yesterday to get the mobile data working  

 

and don't worry about the other settings in it, just change the name of the APN and automatically the other settings will be configured.

 If your settings were already .internet, thennnnn its probably ur network operator's problem

Oh!!! But my APN is airtelgprs.com, there is no wap of Internet in it..
