Hi guys,
I've got my phone back after repair (they did a boardswap because of broken emmc chip.). Everything seemed fine, but it couldn't connect to mobile internet. I saw that there weren't any APN settings so I called Vodafone and they gave me the right settings. After configured everything correctly it could connect, but it only could connect sometimes and if it did it was only G or E connection.
I'm currently running MIUI rom and with it you can easily configure it that it only uses 2G network. While using this internet ALWAYS works. When using 3G preferred, internet barely works.
So is there an option I am not seeing or did they give me a broken motherboard (and is there way to check this)?
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like its only configured to use 2G, so on a Stock (sense) ROM like mine you would need to set the
Settings->Wireless & network->Mobile networks->Network Mode = GSM/WCDMA auto
Otherwise you could try the debug mode by typing this into your PHONE *#*#4636#*#* the full number which should take the phone into debug mode where you find similar settings
Thanks for your reply! I'm using the settings you recommended and have set my *#*#4636#*#* to wcmda preferred but stil no succes. internet only works with GSM only but only 2g...

Are you sure that your network are not having a problem with 3g themselves?
can you use another phone, same network to prove that the 3g network in your area is working correctly?
Otherwise sounds like an APN issue? could you take it into a vodafone shop?
Have you tried a Hard reset and clean new setup?
I have perfect connectivity using the same SIM on my xperia x1. Hard resetting doesn't seem to do the trick. I think i'll take it to the vodafone shop (don't hope i need to send it in for repair AGAIN)
Thanks for your help anyway!

It may have come back with old stock/unsuitable radio. Tried changing that?

The radio was the correct one, BUT it seemed to have fixed the problem itself... I was in the Vodafone shop and I was explaining the problem and there it was doing it correctly... Quite emberassing but i'm glad i've got a fully working phone.

My HTC Desire S seems to be connected on the Internet on 3G (H) but nothing comes through. The 2 arrows also blink but the connectivity does not seem to take place.
If i turn WIFI on it works and when i switch off WIFI - the internet get stuck
I have done hard reset, restored to factory settings and problem persists.
I tried the sim card in another phone the and internet seems to work there on 3G suggesting it is not a network or sim issue.
I wonder if there is any setting that needs to be rectified.
Any idea?
Thanks

what rom/kernal are you using?
You've already tried most of things that I'd normally suggest, so don't think that I can help very much.
Sounds like it could be APN issue (which I now little about), where do you live and what network are you on? As this will help others to possibly assist further.
Does your network provider have the function where they can send your phone network settings, if so possibly try this?

if it doesn't you may have to change to a different provider

Have you checked the apn settings?

That's what I recommended they do in the PM they sent me. I also "warned" them that they'd be stuck w/ Edge speeds.
i''ve checked the apn configuration .. it's fine but still doesn't work. any other solution?
Last week I stopped being able to use the internet, marketplace and streaming service on my Galaxy S 4g unless I'm on wi-fi. Today I realized it appears as if I'm no longer getting edge, 3g or 4g service. I have bars, but nothing next to it telling me what network I'm on.
My phone is rooted to stock with bloat removed and has been for months. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Try toggling airplane mode. Might help to remove your SIM card & ensure the contacts are clean then reseat it.

I'm having the same issue after moving CM7 => MIUI.
I've moved back to stock ROM XXJVT, but still not able to connect to 2G/3G. Anyone help.....
Btw, I'm sure the APN settings are correct and packet data is checked.

try taking the battery out for 10min
I guess I figured it out. But it doesn't seem very logical, but hey it works.
I changed the url of my provider from "live.vodafone.com" to "live .vodafone.com" (watch the space between live and .vodafone) and all of a sudden E/G/H appeared in the status bar.
Still, double check the APN settings, make sure everything is entered in right (proxy, username, authentication type, etc). Were you able to send pictures still? You need to make sure it's not a hardware problem.
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...

Hi there. For several days I have HTC Sensation and I have a little problem with it. I bought a package of internet in one of the Polish phone networks (Play), but the phone connects to the Internet only through the EDGE. All options are set correctly (for example I turned off "use 2g only to save battery") so I do not know why this is happening. I replaced the SIM card with a new one, however, and nothing changed. I tried to set 'WCDMA only', but then phone totally didn't connect to the phone network. I'm using AOKP ROM, but I tried the Vipers and CM9 - no change. I'm definitely 3G coverage as friends on their smartphones without problems in operation of the Internet. What else can I do to turn on the 3G? Thank you in advance for your help and best regards.

I tried to insert SIM card of other GSM network - problem didn't solve. I changed kernel to Sultan and GetRIL is showing that RIL/baseband is matching, so I did all from your guide. Anyway, I see that your guide is for people who having problems with WiFi, but for me WiFi is working excellent and signal is strong too. I just can't connect with 3G, only EDGE/2G is working. Does anybody know how to fix this? Maybe should I take back S-ON and original ICS and send phone to HTC Service? I've got the warranty to the end of this year.
Well actually it's the same for wifi and 3G... I don't know normally this fix it!

So if WiFi is working, 3G should be working too? I'm really resigned, I'm trying other ROMS, kernels, radios from Monday... but I don't if there is any sense to send phone to the service and wait 2 weeks to get know from them that they can't do anything with this error...
