Rooting will give you an unlocked sim, if thats an option for you.
And on "Other", you only got T-Mobile USA, which will only give you EDGE speeds.
My phone is already rooted.. I'm running the sense 3.0 ROM... So does that mean my phone is unlocked... I plan on selling to some one who is on tmobile

My Inspire is unlocked, achieved it from rooting. i am currently using H2O Wireless SIM and 50$ a month unlimited plan, the service is great! although its not unlimited data, 100mb of data a month, but i usually only use WIFI for all my data so thats ok with me, but there is another option, its called Simple Mobile, Unlimited EVERYTHING and up to 4g speeds in some areas for 60$ a month, its a GSM chip so it can be use in an unlocked HTC Inspire... im thinking of switching to simple mobile from H2O wirelss for the unlimited data.... although my area doesnot support 4g speeds yet :*( they have a coverage map on the website that shows where their 4g speeds are covered
Well i tryed to post the links to simple mobile and H2O Wireless, but i am new to these fourms and it says i cannot post links from outside sources yet :/ but just google H2O Wireless, or Simple Mobile, Thanks!
As long as you put in you apn settibgs correctly on your inspire and you should be good!!you need that companys apn settingss for their internet and mms service!
First off, I'm a T-mobile USA customer. I just bought the T-mobile Sensation 4g. This is my upgrade from the T-mobile HD2 (3G phone) which I still have.
I get decent 3G internet connectivity on the HD2 but no internet connectivity at all on the Sensation 4G (not even the slower EDGE data speeds). The 4g icon shows on the Sensation but I cannot connect to anything requires internet connectivity. I can only make phone calls. I checked all the data settings on the phone and everything looks to be in order. The mobile network is connected, the network mode is gsm/wcdma auto, the network operator is t-mobile, the apn is epc.tmobile.com, and the "enable always-on mobile data" box is checked.
Can anyone help / advise me on this? I'm not sure if it's a sim card or data plan issue. I searched the threads but did not find an answer.
If I were you I would take it back to t mobile and get a new one

I didn't buy it from t-mobile (but from a private seller). I put another person's t-mobile sim card in the phone and it connected to the internet and accessed websites immediately. This is why I'm thinking it's either my sim card or my data plan (it's definitely not the phone). Again, my sim card in my HD2 (3G phone) gets internet connection just fine. I don't want to upgrade the data plan if I don't have to. I'm grandfathered into my current plan with unlimited text and web for $59.99 (no contract). I don't trust customer service (they will say anything to get you to switch to a higher priced plan and a 2-year contract - they're calling me almost everyday now to try to switch me to a contract plan - I won't even answer the phone when I see the number). I'd rather for someone who knows what's going on to tell me the truth rather than t-mobile customer service lying to me just to get me to spend more money (lol).
check your HD2's APN settings
write them down and change your APN settings on yr sensation
apn settings are the same on both devices (epc.tmobile.com). Thanks.
What data plan are you using? When I switched from a BlackBerry to an Android device I had to call tmo and get on the right data plan.

I got the smartphone unlimited web data plan. It came bundled with my even more plus phone plan. I was using it with my HD2 and got decent 3G speeds no problem. Is it possible that because the HD2 is officially a windows mobile phone that my data plan may not be "android compatible"? Note that I was running android on my HD2 and getting data just fine without having to do anything.

That might be the problem, I think all android phones need the "android data"

You need to change your data plan. Call customer care and tell then you now have an android phone. They can adjust your plan accordingly and without a change in cost.
I had this same problem when I picked up mine. It's an easy fix.

ok. looks like i gotta call t-mobile. they scare me. they called me last week, said my plan was no longer available, my service would be disrupted and then tried to switch me over to a contract plan (not asking me if i want to switch but telling me i'm "eligible" for another plan and actually tried to just switch me right over the phone - i hung up the phone). That's crazy. They've been calling me practically everyday since (automated call - once you answer, they put on a live customer service rep). I don't plan to switch. So I'm gonna call them and try to get my connectivity issue sorted out and hoping they don't start badgering me to switch plans. I think they just want to get me out of my "cheap" plan (500 minutes, unlimited text, smartphone unlimited data - $59.99). Even though they discontinued the even more plus plans, I should be grandfathered. Anyway.........
Data Issue Resolved
Thanks everyone for your input. It turns out that it was the data plan. I was not aware that t-mobile has a data plan sepcifically for android devices (go figure). They switched me to an android data plan (at no extra cost). I'm now up and running data just fine on my Sensation. As trivial as this was (to you guys) it was very important to me. Again, thanks.
I'll visit a retail store in your area and inquire about their Best Value Plan ever. $49.99/month unlimited minutes, text and data. It's only available in retail stores.

they don't have a specific data plan. it's all the same stuff. it's just their way of getting all of us older customers off of our non-tiered data plans to their "Android Approved" (i wish there was a sarcasm font) tiered data plans at a higher cost. what they did is see that you had a newer phone on an older plan & blacklisted your IMEI until you switched over. If you would have put your SIM back in the HD2 it would've worked perfectly.
SO I unlocked my Sidekick earlier in order for there to be more of a market for it when I sell it, but when I popped in my friends AT&T sim card there seemed to be no data connection, anyone know why there wouldnt even be EDGE or anythng>
I have the same issue. Got this sidekick, read on here how to root it and unlock it. Called att to update my imei code, went to an att store to have them get me a new 4g sim card, aaaaand I have no data what so ever.
The only thing I've read on some random android forum I found, was that this sidekick uses a different radio freq unsupported by att. And something to the nature of since "sidekick" is a tmobile exclusive phone, tmobile has some 3rd party data service provider for it. And that service providor, since its a private co, has

Sorry, accidently hit submit. So that 3rd party data provider has sole control over all sidekick data connections. Possibly like how you need a blackberry plan for blackberrys to utilize bbm. I'm not sure. Again, I only found these 2 reasons on some random forum, and they were not repeated elsewhere, so I don't know how accurate this is.
It sucks for me bc I have unlimited data too, not capped off at 2gb/month like the current plans.

Im in kind of the same situation. I let my friend take over my ATT phone because it had unlimited data and I didnt wana cancel so I just got the Sidekick prepaid plan to easily tranistion to my ATT sim but I was dissapointed when It owuldnt even pick up EDGE

That sidekick data thing was for the old sidekicks when they ran danger's OS it doesn't apply to ours because it is android.
Sucks you guys are having this issue, i would go into your connections menu and try messing around with those settings
When you switch over to a different network you have to change your phone's APN settings. I went to europe this summer and got 3G over there the entire time with their SIM cards.
to get to APN settings go to SETTINGS>WIRELESS&NETWORKS>Mobile Networks>Access point names....
Now you'll have to create an APN depending on what your network is, you should have a T-Mobile one by default, but to get the proper settings, you can just do a google search for "(your network) APN settings" or call your provider
Oh ok thanks! All I did was connect to a default network
I'm using sensation on ATT network with a nonsmart phone data plan on it. Once a while, I will get "data restricted", which I can't access to the internet. "R" symbol shows on the status bar instead of "E". I called 611 on my phone. It tells you that your phone has been restricted.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Using the Sensation on the AT&T network??? There are so many just as good (if not better) Android devices AT&T sells. Why would you want to put up with only having Edge? Just asking?
You should have bought the Bell Sensation so you could get 3G

Can't argue with free. I'm not sure but I think your issue has to do with your data pack since the APN Settings your Sensation would use is a smartphone data APN not Media Net. I could be wrong though. Do you know someone who has a smartphone with AT&T and has a data package? You could try their sim and see if you get the same issue.

Actually the APN setting is Media net. I was kinda surprised that I didn't even need to input it myself. I put the sim card in, the setting was there.
From what I've read ATT are real dicks about snooping on what kind of data you are pulling and the devices that you are using. You said you don't have a smart phone data plan (maybe some old grandfathered dumbphone data plan?). In any case, I'd guess they've detected you are using a smartphone pulling real webpages with it and so are "restricting" you so that you will call their CS so they can tell you to upgrade to a full data plan. Basically your problem is that your service provider is ATT to begin with. My 2 cents.

Go to the development thread, they have a new fix that might allow free tethering, just involves an APN Change.

That maybe because you're in a business account. On a regular account with a 5gb or 10gb data plan, you receive mobile hotspot for free.
