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.

Are you sure Simple Mobile doesn't use T-Mobile's network? I'm in Canada so I have no idea.

Which one is it? You say that it doesn't work without TMobile's APN in the first post and in the second you say it works only without Tmobile's APN.... Anyway, I know that here in Canada, Virgin Mobile uses Bell's network, and so you need to use Bell's APNs.
the problem is that it doesnt matter what apn you ad ... the phone restores back to the orighinal apn that came with the phone which is t-mobile's apn
What rom you use.

Yah you need to root and maybe use apn back/restore see if that does the trick... If your stock then try custom rom they usually have. Simples apn built in to choose from

I doubt that, I have a TMobile branded phone and use it on WIND everyday without a hitch
I have my phone rooted with cm7 1.0.1 .. some times all my apn's just get deleted by itself and I have to hit reset to default apn then I have to manually enter them in agian

My wife's G2X (on Simple Mobile) had this issue on her stock ROM. Simple Mobile's Facebook page suggested installing APN Manager (free) which I did, and it worked great -- was able to delete the 'Tmobile' APN and leave only the Simple APN.. and its also backed up just in case things go wrong it will restore.
I am also going to test this out on my CM7 issue, where the APNs just disappear and work again on reboot. Maybe the APN manager will help me restore without reboot. This is with Tmobile -- no Simple Mobile even involved.
I had the same issue, and I use simple mobile. With weapon G2x ROM, whitehawkx's, it solved the issue. By default there is T-mobile's which cannot be deleted or edited. I also tried "MIUI 2.1.13 Stock w/ Trinity Kernel" which worked without any issue, just have to turn off auto selection on APN. It detected automatically the APN settings for simple mobile. Even if it is the old one(APN settings for simple mobile), it works. Simple mobile changed their settings, they made it more simple. I used this ROM for almost one day, there were no issue as I am telling, except my internal SD card, which was not available.
Try weapon G2x, see if it works for you.

Hey Sensation community !
Since 2 days my mobile network stopped working, I tried ALOT of "solutions" which I found here but all of them didn't help at all...I even flashed a new rom + fireware, radio, etc...
I used the search function before I started this thread but I only found little threads with like 3-5 replys and they weren't even usefull - even outdated.
So to be more detailed, my mobile network icon pops up nomally after turning it ON but only the upload arrow is filled which means if I open the browser or any app it won't work cause there's actually no connection to the internet.
I checked my APN which is fine. Most of the people say : Fix your APN and it should be fine. - Great -_-
Phone informations:
HTC Sensation
ROM: Android Revolution HD 6.7.2 by mike1986
Adroid 4.0.3
HTC Sense 3.6
I'd appreciate it if somebody could help me fixing this annyoing issue.
If you need some more details about the phone let me know

Nope, as I said, I even wiped my phone new rom, new firmware, new radio and new kernel.
I'm having the same issue, flashed cm9 last night, everything was fine and working then this afternoon at about 2 my phone says no service. I put the sum card in a different phone and it still didn't work. I'm T-Mobile UK but phone is normally connected to T-Mobile/orange network

Check your settings under Network/Connection settings and see if it's set to the correct network mode.

They all fine.
One more thing to say.
If I'm using "GSM only" the internet works but it's hekka slow -_- As soon as I switch to GSM / WCDMA auto "H" shows up only with the upload arrow on and the internet stops working.
Guess nobody knows how to fix this crap.... :/
I tried putting the sim in a different phone and it still didn't work. Might be a sim card issue or Tmobile are having trouble, for me anyway

Did you call your phone company?
I spent 4 days trying to diagnose this same kind of issue once only to find out that my data plan had been accidentally deleted from my account.
2 minute phone call and everything was working again.

As I thought my problem was with my network provider. The phone seems to have reconnected to the network and I am receiving texts and calls again. Hope you get your issue sorted.

I can be pretty sure it's not the SIM cause I tested it on a UMTS/HSDPA Surf-stick and the internet works with it. It has to be the phone itself.

Tell me what you're doing to make your "H" network work.
I meant WiFi thethering. My mobile network works only, if i use it for WiFi tethering. As long as i use the mobile network only on the phone, it doesn't work...

And nope, that didn't worked for me... So my net is screwed up
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.
