OK, so this sucks.
I have done my due diligence, but to no avail. Here is the situation:
Yesterday: Phone OK (14.09), data OK. Running: ATT Tilt with Q-Mobile 1.2
Today: Flashed Alex v5 Lite. Phone OK (14.09), No data.
Symptom: Attempt to do anything data (e.g., use PIE). I get the normal connecting to Media NET popup...TWICE. Then I get the Cannot Connect "for unknown reason" message.
What I have done so far:
1. Searched xda for similar situation. Did not find any exact matches. Lots of radio and sound issues, but no data.
2. Tried Alex v5 Clean ROM. Same issue.
3. Tried ATT AKU 0.4.4 ROM. Same issue
4. Went back to Q-Moblie 1.2 (14.09 radio). Same issue.
....you see a theme here....
5. Tried Dutty v4 RTM with 12.17 radio. Same issue.
So basically my data is hosed. Is there some advanced setting (for the device, not OS) that I can check?
I really need some help here. Otherwise, I need to reflash the orig ROM and SPL, and go wait for hours at the stinking ATT store.
EDIT: Just heard about some 3G issues today. Maybe that is it. I sure hope it is as simple as ATT network and not my device!!!!
Thanks much in advance.
OK, I switched from 3G to Edge and same issue. Bummer.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks again.
EDIT: And FWIW, I can connect to internet when connected thru ActiveSync....which probably means nothing.

have u disabled proxy.
I'm using 1.27.12.32 with Dutty's v4 RTM and both 3G and Edge are working for me.
I would suggest calling AT&T and ask them verify your data settings on their end aren't screwed up.
When I first got my Tilt in October, I lost my data access because of an issue on the account side. The same error message you are getting. All they had to do was send a "ping" of sorts to my phone, and its been fine since.

Thanks P1Tater. I have not proxy settings under My Network>Proxy. Is that where you meant? Do I need to do something more to "disable" proxy?

Yup you heard it right, it's probably the cause of your problem. Which state are you in? In VA data/3G/phone's working fine though.
Try installing this CAB soft reset and try connecting to the internet

check first tab, uncheck "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
Thanks all for the great responses. I will likely try each of them in turn.
I did call AT&T and apparently there are at least 22 states affected by some form of outage (specifically Media.Net). My state (Colorado) was not on the official list, but the support person said that new states were being added as time goes by.
So this is "likely" the issue. 22 states...that is pretty major!
Anyway, again thanks to all who offered help. This site/community is one of the best things since ....well, you know. Anyway, I hope I can return the favor sometime.
If you're AT&T you need have the proxy & the right user agent settings to connect to MediaNet.
You need to disable to connect to internet through Activesync.
Try running the Restore Proxy cab in Windows or in Programs/tools/proxy.

Yep, I would say that is it. I like that first posters comment:
"skynet is online" Apparently it became self aware around 7am my time. which as (bad) luck would have it is right about the time I flashed a new ROM. Scared the heck out of me.
just tried media net in Colorado and it does not work, was working fine last night and this morning... just tried isp.cingular does not work ether.
called att they are giving me a 2$ credit. everyone who has outage should call and get there 2 $ back :0)
Data was restored in Chicago about 30-45 min ago.

Man, I must have picked the worst time to flash my AT&T tilt! This is the first time in years I've flashed one of my phones (Duttys v4) and now my 3G doesn't work! I'm in Denver Co and my Edge connection works ok. I think it is an AT&T issue because my 3G was a little flakey before I flashed.
Looks like 3G is back up for me in Denver.

hey guys,
for over two months now, my phones does not want to connect to the 3g, even in places where it used to (ie, my house). I have tried using the service menu, different apps, the network options, and have looked high and low but all the threads I've found end without an answer.
Right now i have,
2.2
Baseband: I896UXJL1
cognition 3.04
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
What happens if you go back to stock?
Sent transparently through the tubes.
hmm good questions, last week when i went into 2.1 to update cognition it was on. After I installed cognition it was on for 3-4 days, but then over night it switched by it self and I have not been able to get it back
Have any other 3G att phones, its a long shot but once I had a similar issue, put my sim in another phone left it on for a few min then put it back in my captivate and everything worked fine
If your phone has the extended power menu (hold power for options) there is a data network mode option, make sure it is activated. You may have hit it by accident.

What modem are you using? Have you tried flashing a different one?
Have you tried other roms?
I would consider going back to stock (sucks I know) for a few days and if it continues to happen, take it into att and see about a new sim card or a replacement. If it doesn't happen again, try a different rom.
Try going into settings - wireless and network - mobile networks - Access point names - Click the menu button - Reset Defaults.
Had a co-worker running stock and his 3G would not come on anymore I had him do this and has been working ok ever since.

Good to know.
So I recently bought the girlfriend a Samsung Galaxy S 4g. Definitely a bit different than the Evo in terms of the overall process. It didn't help that I started out in the Vibrant forums somehow...
Anyway. As it stands right now I have her phone all rooted and it has CWM and I'm using the Valhalla ROM. The issue is that she doesn't have data.... and when I go into wireless networks and check out the mobile networks and such, I can never actually see T-Mobile. If I search I can see AT&T, which I connect to and I start roaming. If I do this I still don't actually have internet. I can't use the market, or the web browser or facebook or anything that requires data. The browser will sometimes redirect me to some web2go website, otherwise it just times out or says it can't connect to the server.
So does anybody know what's going on? Please let me know if you need any more details.
I've never had trouble like this between my Evo, or my Epic 4g Touch or any friends phones. I've also tried going back to 100% stock unrooted GB and I still have the exact same problem. The ROM doesn't seem to matter, neither does being rooted.
Since you are running Valhalla bring down the notification bar and make sure you have the data toggle on.
Yep, it's definitely toggled to on. I even cycle airplane mode and make sure it's on afterwards.
Only other thing I would suggest is a factory reset. The phone should be picking up the T-mobile network without any problems. But if rooted or not and on stock vs custom rom the issue remains you may just have to set it back to stock and send it in for replacement.
And I know this is a silly question but make sure you call T-mobile and verify that this line has data plan. It has happened in the past when I added a line that it wasn't provisioned correctly and out of the blue the data stopped working. The service was automatically removed due to a reps mistake.
Check your APN settings. Should be T-Mobile's, if not then that's what causing the issue. Just look up for those on google.
Sent from my SGS4G using xda forum app
My APN settings are correct. I've now tried several other APN settings though, and this hasn't helped.
I know this phone is on a data plan. It's on the $50.00 a month prepaid. It did work when we got it, and after it was rooted. I just noticed recently that it stopped working, and I'm not sure at what point it happened, and if it has anything to do with what I've done.
I called tmobile and they said they couldn't see any network related issues going on. Just my phone not connecting, so it was made a ticket for the engineers I guess haha. They are supposed to work on it, and they usually will either fix it and never contact you, or call you if they need you to do something.
Bump.
I've been in really good service areas with full bars T-Mobile and I still don't have internet. So I really don't know what's up. The "T-Mobile engineers" haven't called me back or fixed anything yet.
I'm about to bring myself back to stock and bring it in to a store.
Bring it back to stock & maybe put it in recovery mode & wipe caches & do factory reset again. See if that helps before returning it.

You might try reflashing the ROM or maybe just flash a different modem. I had issues like that once when i was on black ice. If you had data before, there probably isn't anything wrong with your phone.

Having the same Data problem
I had an unlocked ATT BB Curve on T-Mobile and the data was working (although very slow...)
I decided to try out a "Vibrant" hoping to be able to install ICS via Cyanablahblah.
Searching on Ebay I bought one only it turned out to be the 4G (it didn't realize there was a difference.)
Since then I can't get DATA on the 4G except in WiFi.
On the network it goes to the page: u.web2go.com and says my data plan does not work on this device.
Has anybody had any success with this problem ?
Could it be a 4G issue ? Before DATA came from Edge.
Have you checked what your APN settings should be with the magics of Google?

Is there any way to fool it with a 3G modem flash or something ?
I think I screwed up when I bought the phone not realizing there were 2 variants of the "Vibrant."
I wonder if I would have this problem with the earlier (non "V") 3g phone.
Probably. If it were just the 3G/4G causing the problem, you can force the SGS4G to only use 2G networks in the data settings... but if it's anything like the old Verizon bits with tethering and other data, they check for specific data strings that are harder to fake... I mean, set.

I have the correct APN settings and everything, data enabled (i'm not retarded), but it still says download unsuccessful almost instantly when I try to download MMS messages. ideas?
edit: Time to be the bigger man...
Thanks, I love my sig too.
And it happens on every ROM I use. Also my data is like 100Kbps so I'm going to probably have to call AT&T.

Call them ATT, some areas are being worked on as far as data....i had no data 3 days, last week.
assure your "Use packet data" toggle is enabled [ON] under the settings.
Have you switched out phones recently using the same SIM?
And, yes i would call ATT (611) to try to sort out the problem, Good luck
I'll call AT&T on Monday since I doubt the reps work on Sunday.
Ok, so my situation is a bit complicated, so bear with me. I've got an ATT voice plan, with no data or text. I've got an unlocked/rooted SK4G. I'm currently running GOv3.3. I was working just fine on the ATT network, but the people in the office next to mine couldn't get ATT signal, so they setup this little ATT microcell thing. It's about the side of a router and I guess it's basically giving them access to ATT via VOIP. They add their phone numbers to the list and then they can get on. Somehow, this thing is running over the regular ATT signal that I WAS getting just fine in my office on the other side of the wall. Now, I can't connect to ATT's network while inside the building. He's tried to add me to his list, but I can't connect to his microcell either. It doesn't show up at all when I search for carriers. He said that when he added me to his list, it gave him some message about how my number isn't registered with the att network. I'm trying a couple of different modems now just in case it's a modem issue, but I have little hope of that working. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I guess I didn't explain clearly. It shows ATT when you search, but it won't register n the network. If I unplug that damned microcell thing they're using, then I can connect just fine.

Apn is access point name its pretty much the address and port that your phone uses to connect to your network. You can find the setting for this under network settings.
Your using a T-Mobile phone to run on att I'm surprised you get service at all. Even having the device unlocked you still need to set up the apn which by default would be all tmobile. Definetly Google it because I do not know att apn settings I've always used T-Mobile. Hope my brief summary was at least a little help

This is actually a REALLY common thing to do. As long as you're using a GSM phone, it doesn't matter what provider it was originally used on, you can use it on another GSM network. This is my 3rd such phone (from t-mobile to ATT) and I've never had any problem getting them to work on ATT. And this phone still works just fine on ATT also...as long as I'm not within range of that damned microcell thing they're using in the office on the other side of this wall. As soon as I step outside, I connect back up to the normal ATT network.

So as everyone in here, i'm a early adapter. Once 4.4.3. was released yesterday I had to have it.
For now, I wanted the stock 4.4.3. installed and so I did, but now I have this one annoying thing, my phone keeps telling me i'm roaming.
I'm on a Dutch virtual network Telfort which uses the network of KPN, I think it has something to do with that. Anyone else experience this "problem"/"feature ?
Better yet, does anyone have a workaround to turn this off?
I tried enabling/disabling Roaming , didn't work. Soft reset, re-install etc.. None of those actions worked unfortunately.
No-one has this problem?
why is it a problem? its letting you know that its using a different carriers towers. unless you are getting charged extra, id ignore it.
Me to, also telfort. Have no clue what has changed...
same problem here
Same here, have to keep roaming on...
So no clue if I have 3/4G...
Any solutions??

This is a problem because a lot of people live close to the border. With roaming enabled, you connect automatically with a foreign provider. at high costs.
I've managed to solve it using a work-around:
Downgraded both the bootloader and radio to:
bootloader: hhz11k
Radio: 1.0.25.0.23
wipe(!)
Kept WiFi off & skipped Google account set-up
Saw an H instead of an R above the signal icon
Tested: it works
Data Roaming box is unchecked.
I have got the roaming icon too. I have got Tele2 which uses the network of T-Mobile. I noticed that this is the case since I updated to 4.4.3, so it must be new since then.
