All of a sudden my 3g network quit working! For some reason, I'm also unable to receive sms messages, though I AM able to make calls. The up arrow on the 3G indicator flashes constantly, obviously indicating I'm trying to access data, which I am, but the down arrow stays inactive except for a few random flashes (just once and then a few minutes of nothing again). I've tried toggling airplane mode, turning mobile network on/off, rebooting the phone and I even went as far as resetting, all to no avail. This is my home where I have NEVER had any troubles with 3g. Occasionally, the phone does recieve data for long enough to load a page or anything else but the majority is just getting network errors and failures to load. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Are you rooted? If so what ROM are u running?

Also, just to be sure, what done are you using and who is your provider?

No, I'm not, sorry for not stating that. It's an HTC Wildfire (CDMA) running on a small network here in NC (Carolina West Wireless).
And your provider?

Are you Sprint,Verizon..

Sorry Slag, the name of the Provider is Carolina West Wireless. Anyway, here's my up/down stats since last reboot: pppsent: 1315 pkts ppprecieved: 519 pkts
Check your apn settings and make sure they match your service providers settings.

Ok. Honestly,you need to be rooted.LOL. Seriously,it sounds like a network error. I would call customer service,and ask for technical support. If you are with Sprint,ask for technical support. They should be able to walk you through it. Do any of your friends have same phone and network? Check with them,and see if they are having the same issues. You stated that you did a factory data reset,can't remember if that requires reboot. Sure it does,though.Also, try doing a battery pull.

Not since the factory reset. Anyway, to be honest I cant find apn settings anywhere. From what I understand it should be settings>wireless & networks>mobile networks> But "Access Point Names" is missing.

Ok, I know I have complained about this before but when I am connected to mobile data I do not get what I am supposed to get.
I don't get "H" "4g"or "3g"all I get is
"1x"and "E"which sucks because the speed blows.
All I would like to know if there is a fix for this because I have had 4g with the stock rom and now I am on cdma which is odd
I also cannot select a band when I go into the "*#*#4636#*#*"menu -> phone information -> menu button-> select band
What I get is a "select [unsuccessful] (whichever band) message and sometimes a force close.
I don't know what to do any more because I made sure that the apn settings were correct and that I was connected to a tmobile network provider
Someone help please help me
Thanks in advance, googleme1

I would like to know this too because all I get is edge. If I reset connections, my phone picks up 4g and within a minute I'm back on Edge. It sucks. But what are the correct settings for above as I am using CM7 RC1.

Sorry that no one has attempted to answer your question. I've ran into this exact issue before. Redownload the rom and reflash it again. Once the phone boot up do not touch the phone for about 5-10 minutes! This step is important! Let the software settle in. Once its settled in then reboot the phone and then wait till your carrier (T-Mobile) pop up and then unlock the phone and depending on your area's coverage you shall now have 3g-4g signal.

T-Mobile is undergoing technical issues from a phone call I made over to them. They said that they are working on resolving the issue ASAP and that it should be within a couple of hours.

Your welcome and completely restart every single step you took to get the rom on the phone. That includes redownloading the rom and then reflashing it and just wait 5-10 minutes once it reboots. The reason why I say redo the step completely is because it could of been a bad download, a bad flash or just that you didn't give the software sometime to settle so to eliminate all possible issues do the whole step over completely!

My G2x is unlocked and I'm using mobily "Saudi Provider" . I can only ever get data to work on the stock rom and the leaked Gingerbread update. No other rom I've tried including cm7 will connect to data. The APN settings are correct. My phone will recognize both Mobily's HSPA and EDGE networks but connect to neither.
any ideas would be appreciated.

When on public wifi, you usually have to open a browser and agree to their terms before anything on wifi will work. Did you do that?
No never did. Not know about that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Yeah it's super annoying as many times those pages are not compatible with mobile browsers. There's a number of times I've had to mess around with it for awhile to get internet to work. Depending on the browser I've used there are times the agreement page doesn't even show up.

That would be correct. WiFi uses the GSM network and not the 4G. You may not want to turn off the WiFi to keep your data usage in check. When you leave the WiFi area it will revert back to the 4G network and the use 2G will be unchecked.
Okay. So I bought an unlocked g2x brand new from Amazon. Everything almost works as it should: calling,wifi,texting ....the thing is I cannot send or receive picture messaging.
I spent hours on the phone with T-Mobile (ironically bought an unlocked phone that was originally T-Mobile to use on T-Mobile network. Funny right?) and they say because the imei number is unlocked I am unable to do picture messaging without a data plan. I can't afford a data plan right now.
Anyways I'm hoping there is a way to change the imei number back to being T-Mobile specific. In other words: I want to lock my unlocked phone back to T-Mobile.
All I want is picture messaging. I shouldn't have to have a data plan to achieve this. Can anyone please help?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
It shouldn't be your imei, it's your apn settings. Go to settings, wireless, network settings and make sure your apn is set for tmobile.
My phone is unlocked and I send pictures without a data plan. Just remember that you need to have mobile data enabled. It uses data technically, but it's incorporated with your texting plan.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
You sir are a genius. That actually fixed my problem.
Now, I have data blocked on my phone so I shouldn't be able to use the data thing even if I tried. ...
I did activate that setting and upon successfully sending a text,the 4g logo does come up where my signal strength and battery are shown. Can you confirm this to be normal? I don't want any extra charges on my next bill....
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Call them and make sure there's a data block on your phone. You won't get charged. And yes the 4G logo will show when sending an mms.

I spoke with the T Mobile representative. I believe her exact words were : Now you're not supposed to have multimedia messaging on an unlocked phone, But it's changing that setting give you the ability to do so then that is great.
Haha. But yeah she basically is telling me what you guys Are telling me I cannot thank you enough.

Did you mean to put "Epc.tmobile. " on access point names?
Would I be asking to much for a little help navigating to those particular settings?
Thanks redmonke.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Ok after rereading, I see you said to edit my apn, which I assume is short for access point names. Should I edit the only one that is there which is "T-Mobile us, Epc.tmobile. com "
Or should I create a new one?
This is of course assuming that apn is access point names.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I did what you suggested, although I had to Create a new apn rather than edit the original because the original will not let me edit it....
After creating the new one, I suspect maybe a miss type in the settings. "Etc " is what I believe you said, but upon using that setting I could no longer send pics.
Once I changed it to "epc " I was able to do so.....
Anyways after creating the new apn as per your suggestion, I noticed that it was an exact mirror of my original apn.
But here's the kicker:
I was able to receive pics so long as my buddy selected to forward it rather than sending it directly (if that makes any sense) .
I then tried to have him compose a fresh message and select a pic to send....to no avail. I also had another friend attempt to do the same only to achieve the same results.
I am having zero issues sending pics.
And so long as data is enabled, I am able to do so.
Its the receiving pics that is giving me the issues.
I don't understand why I can receive forwarded pics....
If anyone can help I suppose I can send my cell number,(with great apprehension) ,via pm to someone who is willing to trouble shoot....
