Not sure why that would be didn't do that on my phone with 3.6.1, 3.6.3 or 3.6.5 and 4.1.5, 4.1.6, 4.1.7

Before its doing ok bit I have to re flash the 3.6.2 Rom back coz I didn't like the newer versions so after that both of the shows up everytime, I did superwipe and re flashed Rom same thing.

I would maybe try the newest rom after you wipe your cache. It is by far the best one so far.
Did you flash any mods that may have caused this?

I would try the update first. Watch when the are both showing, is the WiFi signal low or showing no signal? That does happen when the WiFi signal becomes weak. Also make sure the mid you used is for the correct Rom.

Did you get rid of the Tmo bloatware? For me, I just force close the My Account app and the cell signal bars go away.

Could be a radio issue. Try a different radio. And yeah wrong forum. You should either ask the question in the thread that your rom is in, or in the q and a sub forum.

not radio issue, same with 3.12, 3.25 and now 3.30.

I did notice something like that. I could work perfectly well for a couple of hours just to be unable to load any webpage so that I had to clear memory or in extreme cases turn the airplane mode on and off. It's been ok since I loaded IC 4.6.1 on my phone though.

Same here... The data network is suck and end up i flashed back the Gingerbread. Gingerbread better than ICS.
For those who claimed the data network is ok, try to use 3G data (not WIFI) and use application such as FB Chat, Viber or Whatsapp...
You will see the problem. I also posted the same question in this section.
Very bad, I saw iphone 4s and Galaxy running without this kind of problem. Just hopefully if someone can provide tweak on DATA network.

ok, im glad im not the only one crazy here
i'll try InsertCoin then to check if it works as it supposed to and report back.
thanks guys for confirming this crappy situation.

Please post your result on insertcoin's rom... Somehow ARHD 6.2.1 and Virtuous's got this data drop issues... Hate it when my IM messages get no list or incoming message...

I tried different radios, ROMs, kernels, SIM-cards, networks but the problem keeps coming back.
It works for a couple hours - maybe a few days and sporadically locks so I cannot view any web page or use any web based service through GPRS. GPRS seams to be connected but no flow at all on GPRS. I havn't found any fix for thing. Just have to wait. :/
Internet works like a charm through WiFi-connection. Sadly I'm about to go back to Gingerbread.

I'm on ICS (ARHD 6.3.0) And have no issues with 3G/HSDPA mobile network. FB, Whatsapp, Chat, Trillian works all the time :S
BTW, I changed my preferred network from WCDMA preffered to GSM Auto (PRL) in the Phone Information menu.

Check and make sure the apns are correct
It's a known issue.so don't stress it to much
Sent From Space Using My ICS Flavored Sensation

For what its worth, I've had great coverage on VI 3 and 3.5. Like folks have said, double check ur apn (make sure it didn't dump or something) and verify that your using the radio recommended by ur rom developer and not just the newest radio.

No cellular data

Ok, after asking on various Rom threads to no avail I'm making a topic about it seeing as I'm not alone on this one...
I seem to have lost all cellular data. When I turn on mobile data I keep getting ' connection failed due to incorrect apn settings'
I have flashed different roms, re flashed current viper Rom, factory reset, full wiped, reset apn to default settings, even got a new sim from my service provider. My apn settings are correct, as have been confirmed by my service provider, I've updated radio and firmware...and still no mobile data.
Does anyone have the faintest idea what's going on?
Thanks guys.

Hi,
Have you tried deleting ALL your APN settings,rebooting,then,re-installing them?

Just tried your suggestion malybru, unfortunately it hasn't made any difference
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

I'm running viper too and when I upgraded to recommended radio this happened to me. I lost all data connection ! To restore my data I used one of the five(I believe it's 5) generic ics radio and matching ril. I got lucky first one I tried worked for me! I'm not exactly sure of your situation but it sounds very similar to what happened to me... You might want to try the generic ics radio with matching ril.it restored my data right away. You will have to do some searching to find it. But it's there. This just happened to me last week. I really hope this helps you! It worked for me... Best of luck.

this problem seems similar to the problem i faced recently ..i would have complete signal ..but no data
in my case ..if i change the network mode to GSM only ..i used to get Edge
the thing which caused this problem in my case is... loose sim ..yes the sim is loose ..and i kept a paper on top of sim to make it fit tight ...and voila problem solved ...just try this ..it might work
:fingers-crossed:

also check in phone testing that you are st to WCDMA preferred
from key pad *#*#4636#*#* phone settings - look for the only drop down box - hit it choose WCMDA preffered then home

I even lock on wdcma only by pressing *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information press your current channel and another menu will come up, choose your desired channel from there then press refresh. My device kept going to edge sand it drove me crazy so I locked on wdcma only
And had no problem ever since. I now stay on H. I'm sure it depends on your area also but I've never lost signal doing it that way.

What carrier are you on? There are APN settings that maybe incorrect or just got corrupted when flashing a rom.

signal cuts in and out

i just flashed cm9 on my sensation and the signal keeps cuting in and out i tryed to mess with the network settings but i still dont get anything and i reflashed still samething
what should i do?

Okay a few things first...
When you say the signal cuts out...what signal do you mean? Cell, mobile data, or wifi? (Each has its own fixes)
Second, how long have you had the problem and did it start as soon as you first booted cm9? If it has just been a few hours and it worked on cm9 at one point, it could just be a network issue that is out of your hands.

Known issue in AOSP builds, wipe cache and dalvik-cache

Check your APN's.
If you have 2 or 3 to choose from, delete all but the one you actually need. You are on t mobile so assuming you do a normal monthly billing plan with a contract the correct apn is the one called t mobile-us. You may see one for simple mobile and something else too.
AOSP builds sometimes install multiple apn's at initial set up. Its usually not a problem for 98% of users as you are supposed to be able to pick 1 and have the others be ignored, but sometimes it doesnt ignore the 2 that you arent supposed to use and tries to connect to all three. This may not be what is causing your problem, but its worth a shot.
2 variations on this......
In one version your data will connect for a second then drop for 2 seconds and repeat indefinitely. That is when the phone is trying to use all the apn's.
In the other version your data doesnt work at all. This could be because you are locked into the wrong apn or the correct one had been corrupted/altered. If you have never messed with your apns this is less likely.

[Q] HTC Sensation No data?

hi everyone, me and my girlfriend both have an HTC sensation with android 4.0.3, software number 3.32.168.52
the problem is that both phones very often loose their mobile data until they are rebooted, and even sometimes the problem comes back fast...
the icon for 3G / H still appears, and changes between sometimes, but both arrows below them stop blinking, resulting in no mobile data, no browser , no google talk, no mails.
if i connect to some wifi im good.
My HTC sensation is unlocked, rooted and all garbage out, but my girlfriend's is vanilla.
Is this some android 4.0.3 bug? my late LG P500 could go weeks without a reboot and no problems what so ever...
I bought a phone that's almost a computer not some cheap calls/sms phone and really use my mobile data.......

As yours is rooted, try getting 'getril' app from the market. Perhaps the radio fw does not match the RIL files?
Also this may happen in 'vanilla' if the phone was made for a different market. Different operators and counties use slightly different channels/freqs and thus the radio should fit the network.
What operator are you on?

hi, thanks for the help, this phone was bought from the operator im currently in Vodafone Portugal. The rom was full of portuguese bloatware which i removed, but even if i messed up something then my girlfriends phone which is also an HTC sensation without any changes should behave...which it doesn't...
just had to reboot my phone to have it working for about 5 minutes and losing data after..
also i notice a lot of 403 501 and other http codes that never happened in my LG P500 android 2.35
even did change to dolphin browser but still nothing....
EDIT:
got getril, says ril/baseband doesnt match, also after i give SU permissions, says it doesnt have them.

If getril say it does not match that might indicate a problem. You can find my configuration at my signature, together with the thread with all the ril files. You can try changing the ril so it would match the radio.
Su should have worked... That's.. weird
