[Q] Sidekick 4G Connectivity Issues - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

I purchased the Sidekick 4G from a Pawn Shop recently and immediately started tinkering; rooted, changed roms, so on.
In the haste of all of this it never dawned on me to put my sim card in, long story short when I turn the phone on with the SIM in it takes unusually long to connect and when it does it rings twice when a call is made and disconnects. When connected through WIFI calling though it works flawlessly.
While using the Smooth Maximus ROM GingerClone it would not connect at all so I commenced to changing the Mobile Network settings to GSM only and it worked through Edge perfectly.
I went back to stock (KD1 and KG2) and the results are that it will take about 2 to 3 minutes to show a connection to the network and then the full bars/4g symbol will appear but I cannot connect to the internet nor can I make a phone call.
My question is, after this long explanation sorry, is what is it that I'm doing wrong? Or is it the phone that has a malfunction I am not aware of?
Any help is highly appreciated and sorry in advance if this is in the wrong place or if this question/scenario has been posed.

You probably need to manually configure your APNs under Wireless & Networking for your carrier. Without knowing your carrier, that's the most complete advice I can offer. Googling APN and your carrier name should give you all the info you need

Try calling up tmobile you probably don't have there 4G plan, w/o it you'd only be getting edge speeds. I experienced this coming from a windows mobile fone when I switched to a G2 I wasn't getting 4G you might even need a 4G sim. It could be a number of issues. . .

I had to switch my sim card I had a razor before this lol I know but I was having loss of service ect... switched sim and bam there it was great service!

I have the same problem. My Sidekick 4G works flawlessly except it cannot connect to T-Mobile network. When using wifi, everything works (wifi calls, text, receiving calls, etc). When calling via T-Mobile network, it shows dialing, then just goes out of the phone screen. I cannot get data nor text messaging either when trying to use T-Mobile network.
I have reset the user setting and even flashed back to a clean KG2 firmware. Neither has helped. Also, tried multiple SIM cards all with the same problem.
Any one with any tips?

I had that problem when I first flashed some ROM.
Setting>Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
From here press the Menu button and select "Reset to Default"

Inspire 4G on a 3G Network?

Hello Everyone. I have been searching the forums for an answer to my problem but haven't found any info.
I recently purchased a Inspire 4G online with out realizing that there was no AT&T 4G coverage in my area. I also made a poor assumption that this phone would be backwards compatible to my current 3G service.
My question: Is this phone backwards compatible and I just don't know the proper settings or do I just stick it in a drawer and wait for AT&T to role out 4g in my area sometime in the fall. ( so they are saying )
I would appreciate any help
Thanx
I would assume it's backwards compatible. I just bought the same phone and the 4G in my area is spotty at best. The service icon usually shows 3G, but in some places it goes to H++ or whatever and is super fast. So I'm assuming I am just running regular 'ol 3G on my inspire most of the time.
What settings are you talking about on your phone? I just put my SIM in and it worked... Then I flashed with Cyanogen and it still worked great without changing any settings. If you have modified a bunch of the radio settings, maybe you should do a factory reset.
-Tracy
yes its backward compatible. it has everything from edge (2G) to hsdpa (3.5G)
Fully backwards compatible and you don't need to do anything settings-wise. When HSPA+ rolls out in your area, the phone will grab a signal automatically for you.
All of my internet apps error with a Connection Failure message an I constantly have a H+ over a check mark for my network icon never a 3G.
The check mark indicates that your data connection is not connected.

The phone will not show 3G, Only ones I've seen are H+, E, and G. And G had the same download speeds as H+ when I did a speed test.
Wrong..I have saw 3g on my phone before I rooted.

Thanx everyone for you prompt replies. Stopped by an "autherized AT&T reseller" and was told I needed a 4G SIM card. The rep installed the new card ( at no cost ) and I am back on the net. I had thought that I could simply insert my current SIM from my Capivate and be on my merry way, I was wrong.
Thanx again.
Yeah the owners manual indicates a 3g icon when on 3g too.

That's strange. When I got my Inspire I just swapped my 3g SIM from my Eternity II and was on my merry way.

Could be his SIM card just went bad and the timing was a coincidence. SIM cards aren't terribly reliable.
the H icon DOES mean you are on att 3G, they just screwed around with the icons for their devices. go into settings, about, and find the network status and see which you are connected to. it will likely say HSDPA which is att's 3G. even when HSPA+ does come along you will still see the H most likely...
Lol you're wrong that you were wrong. I use the same sim. It just needs to be provisioned for the right access point. This was confirmed by the ATT rep when I activated my phone.

Simple mobile 4G on gingerbread update!

Hi for all of the Simple Mobile users. I ran into a difficulties trying to get 4G internet on my new LG G2x with gingerbread update. Per Simple mobile website, to make MMS and internet work all you have to do is create a new APN for Simple Mobile in apn settings (http://www.mysimplemobile.com/Support-Center-Phone-Programming.aspx#LG), move the green button to new APN, hit save, reboot your phone and you good to go. However it says there also that you CANNOT modify original T-mobile APN that is already created in the phone.
Now here is the problem with gingerbread update. After you rebooted your phone you can go ahead and use internet but right when you got your first page the green screen coming up with t-mobile customer service info and it says there that there is no connection with your phone, please call the number provided below. You might have luck actually getting on the first page but after that - nothing. What happens is after you start using internet your phone stop reading information from newly created APN and automatically switching back to the original default T-mobile APN. And it doen't matter if you reboot the phone or not, it will still make an automatic switch.
Now after discussing this issue here on the board, with great help from jboxer we came to a solution. Jboxer said nobody done this before so I figured why not try it and it actually worked.
All you need to do is root the phone using these tools:
1. Install Clockwordmod with NVFlash.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
2. root it with this zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
I am a noob in flashing/rooting the phones but it took me only 20 min. to do this procedure. Right after I root the phone I went to menu - settings - wireless & networks - mobile network settings - access point names - hit on T-mobile APN and now you got the opportunity to modify it! The rest - do exactly what the simple mobile website tells you to do.
Hope this helps!

That is not how I said to fix it. Rooting the phone doesn't allow you to modify the default settings. In fact, rooting is not even necessary to do my fix. What I said to do is to flash my file that sets a new default APN for Simple Mobile. Here is the thread below. Sucks to be miquoted so badly.

lol. Well props for making a flashable fix (best method IMO)
I guess once rooted it allows the settings to stick? Others have had luck with APN managers from the market which backup and write custom APN entries which works.
So the problem is that the APN keeps defaulting to Tmobile and the solution is to somehow edit and Save the default Tmobile APN setting with information that pertains to Simple Mobile so that it sticks.
Glad its fixed either way.
another way to fix it is by going into lg hidden menu
dial 1809#*999#>KR Setting>Set KR Settings
this removes all of the apns including tmo's then u just put in the simple apn nd ur good to go

Rooting would not make a difference here. All rooting means is that apps can request superuser (root) permissions to make changes to the system, and the app that sets the apn never requests root access so rooting the phone would not do anything here. Simple Mobile users were always able to make a new apn (default apns can never be modified). The problem is when they reboot it goes back to TMO's settings. Have you tried rebooting yet. My fix sets a new default apn for Simple Mobile which can be set and stick throughout rebooting, etc.
Also, as stated in my other thread, my fix DOES NOT require root. It only requires that Clockworkmod Recovery be installed.
Dude,
I have been using SIMPLE MOBILE forever and not had the problem you are speaking of. Just follow the instructions on the SM website. Set up the new apn. When you reboot hold the volume button up while rebooting and you should be set. Could it be you aren't setting up the apn properly?
And on some of the ROMS you can edit the T-Mobile apn.

Speaking of Simple Mobile, do they allow using the Wifi hotspot feature on the G2x? I saw in the company's FAQ that tethering was not allowed on SM phones, but wasn't sure if that covered hotspotting as well.
I have a question for you guys, I just got an unlocked G2x to use on simple mobile that I haven't activated, On t-mobiles site it says it supports for 4G, but on simple mobiles site it says it's only approved for 3g data, my question is do I need to get the 3g $40 plan or $60 4g plan to get the most out of the data on this phone?
Do both plans give you the same volume of data (i.e., 500Mb, 1Gb, etc)? If so, go with the cheaper plan. The systems hardly ever let you get the full speed anyway. In Thailand I only get between 2 to 3Mbps usually and it is plenty fast.

I have ran into this problem. I recently obtained a G2X and SIMPLE Mobile SIM and account. I paid the $40 for the "3G" connection. However it seems that the speed is throttled to around 118kbps down. So I did some testing and found that forcing the phone to use "2G Only" allowed up to around 160kbps down. This is just insane! I have read where some people on SIMPLE Mobile 3G have been able to get around 1500-3000kbps but have no idea how they manage that. My Optimus V on Virgin Mobile's 3G averages around 600-1000kbps down. That is usable. The SIMPLE Mobile one is just crap. I hate to have to pay more for less, unless you count the unlimited talk in that, but I may be sticking with VM for a bit longer. Any ideas how I can get the speed up on the SM one without paying the $60/month?

I mainly use google voice for my text and such since I ported my number to GV and all. But I just tried sending a picture message to my other phone's actual number from my G2X without google voice and it sent, just took forever. As for sms though it has always worked. This is with my phone showing "4G".

Be sure not to pay the $12.99 for the SIM directly from SM. Go on amazon and buy one for about $1.99 or if you are a Prime member get the one I did for $2.49 w/ free 2-day shipping. Won't hurt to try with it being that cheap.

odd.. I just switched to the G2X and bought a new Sim card with 4g.
before I had an LG optimus T with the 3g and always got 3g speeds around 2000kbps
On the 4g with my G2X I get anywhere from 2000 to 5000kbps. The really odd thing is its either 4g or 2g. I'll be sitting at work and it will drop from 4g to 2g.. making me think "wtf happened to 3g"?
Another thing I noticed is the hand off between edge and 3g was much smoother. With the G2x It will often completely drop all connections, data and voice, then pop back up with the different speed.

Yeah SM is just stupid slow on "3G". I actually got faster speeds when I forced 2G only network. My wife's Samsung Gravity Smart also has the same speeds as my G2x. I am thinking of switching to the $30/month 5GB of 4G data w/ 100 minutes that T-Mobile offers just to try it out. I can use my GrooveIP to make/receive calls if need be.
this helps alot cuz im about to get simple mobile...thanks!

Just be ready for super slow speeds if you don't pay for their "4G" package. I ran some back to back tests yesterday with my SIMPLE Mobile sim and a T-Mobile sim in my G2x.
SM "4G" 118kbps down/ 132kbps up
SM "2G" 159kbps down/ 131kbps up
TM "4G" #1 885kbps down/ 348kbps up
TM "2G" 207kbps down/ 133kbps up
TM "4G" #2 1505kbps down/ 524kbps up
all ran back to back. So even T-Mobile 2G is faster than SM 3G. lol

[Q] i727 on Straight Talk

I have a i727 SR that I bought off a buddy. I first tried to use it as a go-phone with no luck. I then bought a Straight Talk BYOD ATT sim and have tried to use it. When I first activated it I had voice and SMS. I traveled down the road and the 4G led popped up and I then had voice, sms and data (using the tfdata APN). When I returned to my home town, I could only connect to Edge towers and have to service at all. I started out on stock JB, I've tried stock Gb 2.3.5 and the 2.3.6 update. I used the UCLD2 rom linked in the "Unlock free proceed at own risk" thread. And I've also tried stock ICS as well as the SGH-T989_UVMC6_radio w/JB (not sure if that was the correct ROM to use with the TMO radio. I can take that sim and put it in my LG Thrive P-506 and have to problems connecting to 3G (UMTS). I've tried all the APNs I can find (ST website says to use tfdata). I've read, studied, and experimented and now I'm asking for help. Any suggestions?
well for starters the tfdata settings are the correct settings, also check if their coverage map and see what's supposed to work in your area. always test on settings that you know worked previously.
The radio should not be a problem. The stock JB 4.1.2 radio UCMC1 works on all JB ROMs I've tried many of them. Not sure why you tried GB but I would recommend using stock JB as I know straight talk works with them (though you may have some MMS issues) just so you can verify everything works fine before moving on.
and owmblem
there are at least 2 different apns for straight talk att if you have a sim from say the nokia e71 do a search for E71 apn settings thease are the same from as the original setting from when straight talk FIRST put out there BYOP. at one point they switched to different settings that are currently on there web site. the settings that are on the web site DOES NOT work with every stragttalk att sim you have to try both and see what works for you also they just started selling the att sims again and there might be new settings for those also so you might have to look around to find the correct ones
The sim card that I received works fine in my old thrive go phone (lg p-506). In my skyrocket the only time I have service is when I connect to a 3g or faster tower. When im at work my SR will only connect to edge and I have no service. When I put the sim in my thrive it connects to 3g And works just very slowly. Im almost at the point were I believe it's a hardware problem. I need to find a post-paid att sim and see if it is the phone or not. Another thing that complacates testing is that I have no service at my house. BTW, Thanks for the replies.
I was able to connect to 2g and 3g towers after I installed RUXMA7 r adio and manually selecting frequencies. Does anyone know why I connect to towers through which I don't have service? It's a real pain when driving selecting different frequencies.

Because straight talk service sucks so it connects to real providers. Check your apn and roaming settings or get a better provider.

[Q] Stuck on 3G network!

My Verizon Galaxy SIII is stuck on 3G, and will not access 4G. I am using Cyanogenmod 10.2.1 (stable).
The problem started when I was travelling, and used *228 to try and improve reception. I just meant to use option 2 to update the list of towers (Preferred Roaming list), but derped and pressed 1 instead. Option 2 just updates the list of towers, while option 1 also updates the location of my Home switch. No issues making receiving calls/texts etc, but stuck on 3G data speeds.
Once I returned home from my trip, I used *228 option 1 again to fix this, but it did not.

I had the same issue for the longest time... and did everything you tried... I ended up giving up and going into the Verizon store and asking for a new Sim Card (Which is free of charge). After that BOOM 4G again! everywhere!!! I recommend going in and getting a new SIM card!

Thanks! Might have to do that if nothing else works. Can't let them see I have a custom ROM on my phone.

Ya No Problem....funny thing was the employee there couldn't tell I had a custom rom on my phone... regardless of him being unable to find anything on my phone lol, If worse came to worse I was just going to play dumb and say my friend "did something" to my phone to make it look different.

Mobile data inactive between 1:00 and 6:00

Hello guys
A week ago, an interesting problem started popping up.At work, my mobile data suddenly started to disappear from 4G to H+ from 1:00 to 6:00.After 6:01 comes 4G back.Then it works 4G normally during the day until 1:00.Then is the same data drop from 4g to H+.
Until a week ago, 4g worked for me without a problem.I don't know what else to do. I tried practically everything.
I have a Bootleggers ROM
Here's a list of what I've tried but it still doesn't work
I call my provider and all setting on my phone are o.k
I put my sim card in the phone from a coworker who has the same provider -4G works
i put his card in my phone -same provider-4G does not work
i reset the APN settings and copy them from a co-worker-4G does not work
I reset the rom-4G does not work
I installed new rom-lineage 16-4G does not work
Then i said i will delete everything and return my OPO to 100% stock.I wait until 1:00 and here we go again data drop agai to H+
What the hell is going on with my phone.I no longer have any idea. Obviously I'll have to buy a new phone
Thank you guys for any help

From what you wrote, I suppose you did tests within the same BTS.
The mast operator has the ability to change signal parameters over specific periods of time. It looks like your phone can't cope with this madness of change and, for example, makes the wrong choice of another mast in the area. Check which mast you are connected to in the time periods described. You can use LTE Discovery or OpenSignal.
Move the phone out of range of this station and repeat the check.
If it works well elsewhere, then you have the basis to file a complaint with your network operator.
You are right reason is the network provider.But it took some time before they admitted
The network provider shuts down some LTE frequencies that this phone supports between 1.00 and 6.00.
As a reason, they said that these frequencies are used by few users and that they save electricity at night.So I have two solutions, going to another provider or buy a new phone.
So I decided to buy a new phone.And that will be oneplus 7 pro.I hope to get it another week.
Well my oneplus 7 pro has arrived.And the 4g network is now working normally.
Thank you to all of you who have helped me in these years in solving problems
