Hi fellas
Upon flashing my G2X with the CM7 nightly build 123 & 124, I've found that mobile internet no longer works.
On the stock 2.3.3 gingerbread rom, it worked - so I can confirm that mobile internet definitely works on my phone, paired with my sim.
And yes I am using the same APN settings as before.
After installing build 124, i bumped into the notorious disappearing APN settings and thus tried flashing build 123.
Build 123 saves the APN setting - but for some reason the mobile internet just doesn't work. The 4G icon at the top doesn't show but i can still send and receive sms and calls etc.
I tried a restore to the stock rom and mobile internet works.
Does anyone have any idea what i should do?
If you do that would be great
(First time android user here - so i may have missing something very simple... so blurt out every possible solution you know)
EDIT: yes i do full wipes before each flash as well as a cache wipe, dalvik wipe and a fix permissions.
Also realised that after turning on airplane mode for a minute and then back off, that the apn setting disappears for build 123 as well.
:/
never mind
got it to work. the solution makes no sense at all and the logic that i placed all my pride upon has been crushed.
If this helps anyone in the future, i may as well post it.
Here are the steps i took.
Connected phone to wifi and downloaded an app called 'APNsBU (ROOT)' (Search for 'apn backup' in marketplace and it should come up on the list)
Then i set some apn's which disappeared and opened APNsBU (ROOT).
Set an apn backup within the app and then press restore (this will reboot your phone)
On reboot i went to the APN list again and found the apn that i had insisted should work.
Went to 'Network operators' and selected a network that it found which somehow registered. (It wasn't even the same network as my sim.. derp)
Searched online for the apn settings on the network that 'somehow registered' and entered them in and saved.
Press the holy green dot for the new apn setting.
?
Profit
Hello. After lots of rooting, ROM flashing, and all that good stuff, somewhere in the process I did something that must be keeping me from using 4G. When I turn on my 4G antenna, in settings it just says I'm "Disconnected" and when I scan for service, it scans for maybe five seconds and goes back to disconnected. In the settings, all three fields for 4G network information (Network provider, Signal strength, and IP address), are blank.
I used wimax_mtd and ls /data/misc/wimax/ to make sure I still had my keys, and I do, they match what's written on the back of the phone exactly. I tried this with no luck.
Anyone know what is causing the problem? I'm running a fully rooted gingerbread.

What rom/version? What provider? What troubleshooting steps have you taken?
Sprint. The ROM is just a rooted version of Gingerbread (2.3.3). The software number is 2.76.651.4. Troubleshooting? I don't even know what you're asking there. I have my keys, I've confirmed that. I tried one thing from the thread I linked. I can't connect. What else am I supposed to try?

Flash the new radio/wimax radio, update profile/prl/twice/reboot twice, tweak ##DATA# settings.
Read the Wiki here:

And search around the forum.

Unless your actually connected Network provider, Signal strength, and IP addresswill appear blank when you look in settings. If you've confirmed you have your keys, and are in a 4G zone. Then you can try a simple trick that sometimes works. Put the phone in Airplane mode for a few minutes. Then take it out of Airplane mode, and try to connect to 4G. If that doesn't work then go ahead and update the radios as VICODAN said. That should solve the issue.
Still no luck
I just tried all of those steps, besides the airplane mode one, with no luck, but I'm trying the airplane mode idea right now, and if that doesn't work, I'll elaborate.
EDIT:
Okay, no luck.
So I went through and flashed the newest radio and the wimax radio, and in the process I realized that I didn't actually have the newest radios beforehand. (I also learned that I hadn't yet formatted my microSD card to FAT32, so it's good that I realized that too. ) After that, I went into System Uupdates and updated Profile and PLR, then I rebooted, and I did it again, and I rebooted. You said to do it twice, so that's why, but you said twice twice so I wasn't sure which part to do twice. (Wow, that was a mouthful.)
After all of that, I tried the airplane more thing, with no success. I've connected to 4G in the past here, and the spring website even says my area has 4G coverage, so I know that's not the issue.
Also, about the tweaking ##DATA# settings, I mentioned that I tweaked it according to the link I put in the original post, but is there anything else I should try?
Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Last thing to try is ##rtn#, wipes fone and resets to factory defaults, then do hands free activation.
Also make sure your [email protected] stuff is configured properly. This is also somewhere in ##DATA# settings.
You can also try flashing a different rom like CM7
But before you do that call sprint tech support and tell them to fix it. They might be able to do something on their side.
Okay thanks, I'll call them later today.

So I called, the woman had me do a few things, and after hitting restore from the menu in ##DATA#, the 4G is behaving differently. Instead of scanning and returning to disconnectec, it now goes to "turning on ..." Then to "turning off ..." And back to on again. It cycles forever, until I manually turn it off.

Well it sounds like something is still wrong. Try flashing a different Rom to rule that out. If that doesn't work, and having WiMax is a must. Then you may want to think about running an RUU back to 2.2 stock. Then just start the whole root process all over.
On CM7, data does not work at all. I have a cellular signal, I can do calls, text messaging, wifi, and wifi calling works fine. I have tried toggling various settings under wireless settings, so it does not work regardless of GSM, CDMA, or both/auto. I have tried 2G only, which does not work. I have tried disabling any service controlling data, rebooting, toggling on/off.
I followed the guide in the dev forum on installing CM7, every detail. I used the recommended radio. The one thing I was not able to figure out is the APN settings. The APN panel is completely blank, and when I click add new APN literally nothing happens. Resetting to default and repeating does nothing.
I searched the forums to no avail. I'm currently trying various combinations of backups to see what else happens, but I may have to go back to stock.
On another note, I tried flashing the radio again and now I'm in a boot loop. I can't get into recovery because it checks for pg58img.zip and when I select no it just reboots the phone again. I'm away from my sd card reader at the time and obviously can't connect the phone for usb storage. So I'm currently phoneless as I'm writing this.
Help?
Edit: I finally cleared the system data for SMS MMS APM Dialer Storage and the APN showed up. Now it is working. This should be somewhere on the CM7 Sensation guide.
I have been using trickdroid for a while now with no problems. I was using screwing around with the GO Power app and changed some settings with connecting to wifi when the screen was off. Shortly after doing this i realized that I could not use wifi at all. I have changed the settings back to default and i am still having trouble. Eventually I removed the app. Now my phone wont find my wifi network, and if it does and I try to connect, it will disappear. Can someone help me? I have tried toggling the airplane mode and the mobile network with no results.

you can always flash another ROM =\
+1 on flashing new rom from scratch
then to go back to torxx rom just do a fresh install
or you could just try a full wipe including system and reinstall torxx rom first
maybe even try a different kernel
The other day I was on my Razr HD and the mobile data stopped working. This has happened before so i went down the list of checking if my data was set to on, airplane mode was off, etc. Everything was how it should be, and I still cant use my mobile data. The only time the 4G logo shows up is when I am connected to a wifi network, and when I turn wifi off, the logo goes away. In the status settings it shows my Mobile Network State as disconnected. I searched the forums and saw something about making a new APN, or editing an existing one, but it wont let me edit the APNs and there is no option to make a new APN. As a last resort I did a factory reset of the phone, and the problem is still happening. Does anyone have a clue what is going on?
You can try Tweakker in the play store....there are others as well

I have tried that but to get it it to work i need to make a new APN, and phone doesnt display that option anywhere. The only option it has is "reset to default"
Just use House of Moto and flash with the keepdata script

I had the same issues on official 4.4.2 (XT907 - Razr M)
I fix it with replacing APNS.CONF (*/system/etc)
I took APNS.CONF from KitStalk (AOSP-based ROM)
To this way you need to have root-access
You can try attached APNS.CONF
Don`t forget to backup original file!
Good luck!
