I am getting no data connection at all and I'm in a location where I get 4g normally . This is the second time it has done this. No matter what setting I change or reboots I do nothing helps. The first time it happened I took it to Verizon and they replaced the sim card and then it worked just fine until today just a few days later. So today I did a factory reset back to gummgummycharge 2. 2. 1 root. And I'm still not getting any connection to ANY data.
What should I do? I'm not all that great with rom's and what not. Please feel free to ask any questins. I Cnt check this from my phone anymore :-(
Ill do anything I have to to fix this even if it included smashing it with a hammer to get it replaced by insurance!
Do you remove the Sim when flashing gummy?

This doesn't matter. Pulling sim during flashing was for older phones, and it isn't an issue now.
If it keeps frying sims, it's probably a defective phone. Reflash to stock, go to Verizon, and get a different one.

I thought this was just me. I've gone through 2 phones and finally requested a new sim yesterday. Never had issues with either phone until I flashed the new rom.
I've just re-flashed gummy 2.0 after installing the new sim and I'm curious to see what happens.
Okay I have been having the t-mobile "invalid sim card" issue and the phone currently is running with the t-mobile carrier logo. I was able to make calls, and connect via WiFi. I am not able to access the web2go page when I select data in the "wireless & network settings" page with a check. I used to be able to at least access this page with wifi turned off and it would show a little 4g icon on the top? I will post some screenshots. I downloaded GeRIL just to see what it said? I think my phone is rooted? I ran superuser and said the phone was not but the last action I did before getting the t-mobile to show up was a zip restore with CWM so I assume it's rooted? Might be just a flash? One other thing is that I have the WiFi and GPS on and it does not appear to get my location for weather in the weather app?? I can open Google maps and GPS is within 60 meters of my location. I want to reboot the phone but am afraid it won't be back to normal and I will get the error "Invalid Sim Card" again? Is there anything or tests to run while the phone is on the t-mobile network I should check first before rebooting? Or files I should try to use or flash? Or any service menu codes to run diagnostics? Thanks in advance. I forgot to mention that I will be getting a replacement from t-mobile in a week, I did the online chat and they said they will send a replacement under warranty. The box has a date of 7/29/2011 so the phone is about 3-4 months old? The phone is unlocked and has been rooted before, but the issue happened days before I modded this G2x. Basically, today it could connect and tomorrow it might not...or If I reboot It usually goes to the "Invalid Sim Card" I have read other posts with issues of the same type from other users but found no solutions?? Baseband, RIL, Sim ect...all points to a bad phone(using t-mobile) because If I use any other carrier card in the phone it works without errors. That makes me think it's a firmware with t-mobile issue but I could be wrong? Hopefully if the replacement goes thru the same ICS 4.0 will be out and make this phone a beast again?
This might work or it might not: rename your APN manually (Settings/Wireless/Mobile networks/Access Point Names/edit) you can either edit or restore to default to restore mobile data connectivity. Try restoring to default.
I just accidentally hit Airplane mode and it killed it!!! Now it's back to the Invalid Sim Card error again...bummer!!!!
Wait a minute...I waited and read a few posts and clicked the Airplane mode off and on again and it came back to the t-mobile carrier..??? I still have not rebooted the phone though? Hmmm...should I?
Did you get a new sim card when you got the phone? I remember when I got this phone they told me not to use my 5 year old sim card from my previous phone. I say try a new sim card, if that doesn't work try to reset the apn with the instructions I posted last, and if that doesn't work it might just be a bad sim card reader.
I think more on the lines of a bad sim card reader...I have a new sim card...about a 3 days old, got it from t-mobile cause i had the older sim with the larger gold contact patch. The phone is already on order...they said 7 business days..

Every thing you have listed in your open is covered in a discustion some where....it most likely is all barrier deep. if you need further help post back here. I will help as much as possible.
Can't you just do a hard-reboot? Hold down Power + Volume Up

Yes some times that will work. Other times might take 2 reboots. Also sometimes toggleing airplane mode can bring back apn. After a few sim cards and all my problem went away. When I had the issue I was cm7 rom. Stock Rome didn't really seam to have this issue.
just to close this thread I already received my replacement phone from tmobile. I am no longer trying to track down the issue. Thanks for all of the replied and comments. every one who contributed will get a thanks from me.

Yes doing a hard reboot will reset the Apn/data loss problem. (Also toggling airplane mode would some times reset it.) This is only a tempory solution as it could happen again. On cm7 rc1 it would happen to me at least once a day. As well as many others. Off of the top of my head it was something wrong in a radio file.(? Not sure what file) shortly after the release cm7 stable 7.1.0.1 was posted. I believe that had the patch for the data loss issue. It is possible that some cm7 based Rome may still have a data issue loss as they might not have the updated patch. At the time stock based Roms did not have the issue and as far as know. Some people faced with this issue could have had a faulty sim or phone. The other thing that was happening during the life of this issue was how many people running cm7 based roms didn't have the issue. I no longer have this issue. I followed the bug report that was submitted and sealed out the sim card twice. (I think it was cm7 issue on my device) OP- I hope that this swap works for you. If it don't, I will be more that happy to help. also thank you for your service.
I have posted what I know and can remember here in hopes that it can help some one else out in the future.

When I had the phone I installed CM7, and the daily's...ect..It WAS a phone issue (hardware) I now have had the replacement phone for 1 week and no issues what so ever. That's not to say that the issue will arise again? I have rooted and am running no ROMs at the time but am thinking of going back to the FROYO 2.2 just to get the camera like it was in the older version. I hate the camera in GB 2.3.3. No zoom....c'mon LG..where did you guys lay down to sleep during this process if the development? One other feature that has nothing to do with the camera that I would like to see happen is to be able to enable a bluetooth mouse. I tried my Targus mouse and no luck. I think you can use a bluetooth keyboard but have none to test. I was thinking of shelling out the 160 smackers for the infared keyboard..small and can fit in your shirt pocket, and it's bluetooth.
I have noticed that some of my calls are not coming through. The past few days people have tried to call me, but said they got a busy signal. The phone never even rang. I also got an email today from a potential employer who said they called twice today... The phone was sitting on my desk right in front of me all day, and nothing. Is this happening to anyone else? What can be done to fix it? Im not in a place where im not getting service so I dont understand why its doing this?
Also, the other day I was having car issues and needed to call someone, when I went to call someone the phone showed the dialing screen, but never started to ring. I tried hanging up and redialing, but nothing worked. I had to shut down my phone and restart it. I can only imagine what would have happened if I really couldnt call out finally....
Really starting to hate this phone.

It sounds like a reception. Do you have good signal? What about Wi-Fi calling?
I have never had that and have had nothing but the sweetest reception, I do get dropped calls but that's T-mobile for ya.
All day I have between 3-4 bars of service, so im not sure what the problem is
Im also having trouble calling out. Ill dial the number, and the phone will beep and disconnect the cal. I have 3 out of 4 service bars....

Try replacing your sim card? Or if you're on stock then call T-Mobile might be a hardware issue.

Do you think switching to your rom might help? I want to try it but I'm waiting for the final version. I did have my sim replaced a few years ago by T-Mobile. I know they had to transfer all my stuff on to a new one. I have one laying around, is there anything I need to do to get it to work? Like switch my number to it?
You might want to try cleaning the metal contacts of your sim card with a pink eraser.

If you're on stock I think your best bet is to either get sim replaced before flashing cus if its a hardware issue then you will have to get it replaced.
As for the sim card if it's new then just call them and they'll activate it if it's used before then it won't work anymore and you'll have to buy one

I called Tmobile a few weeks ago and had them activate a new sim card I had. Didnt have this issue until just today when I tried to make a call and got "call ended" everytime I tried to call out. What else could the problem be? Im running your rom now also...
Is anyone else having this issue? Its getting really annoying! I had to dial my friend 5 times before it actually went through.
Found this thread where it describes perfectly whats going on with my phone.. http://forum.xda-developers.chttp:/...editpost&p=29453252om/showthread.php?t=630652 Seems like Gingerbread phones are experiencing this more...
Never had this issue. As suggested you may have to replace the phone as it could be faulty hardware.

Yeah, I just didnt want to do the "call tmobile and sit on the phone with them for an hour to troubleshoot" crap... Ugh...
Called Tmobile and they ended up screwing my phone up even more with their "troubleshooting" Told me to do a factory reset, but since I have a custom ROM, it just screwed more up. Now I cant even swipe past the unlock screen and there is no reaction to my touch. At least its finally screwed up enough to get them to send out a replacement. Now im trying to revert back to complete stock so I can send this one back to them when my new one arrives. So I guess problem solved in a way..

Hey Guys!
So i have this problem for like a week now. I didn't do anything that could have done something bad to my phone, so neither do i know if i did something wrong. The problem is, that i don't get any calls. I tested it with my brother, he called me, but the mailbox is answering. The weird part is, that my phone automatically calls him back, and when he answers, there is some noise and then it hangs up. I am also a little worried, if my carrier charges every call, since my sim card is prepaid. One small problem i have, is that my home buttons isn't working either. My brother already flashed my phone one more time, but the problem's still there.
i have cyanogenmod 9 unofficial on my phone right now.
I hope somebody can help!
Check imei of phone is correct. If not correct like go back stock it 1-click.

So, the problem solved itself. I just did the factory reset, and everything works fine now. Can't believe that i didnt think of that earlier.
Can i delete this thread somehow?
Pm one of the mods.
Well, I'll start off by saying that I bought this phone new off of eBay and I've had it for like 4 months. Everything was great until I lost my IMEI a while back and then I manually injected it back. Ever since then, my phone has not been able to keep a connection with my 3G since the area I live in doesn't have 4G. Strange thing is that when I go to an area that has 4G, the connection is fine. So, I sent in my phone to Samsung a couple months ago...and they said they fixed it, so I was super happy! Then I saw that indeed...it wasn't fixed. Ever since I got it back from the "repair", the only way I have been able to have any sort of data is by changing the setting in my phone to CDMA only so that I can at least have 1X data. I have finally grown tired of this slow data and called Samsung again. All the guy said after a long conversation is that he could set me up with a other repair. I really don't think that'll do any good whatsoever, since it didn't do anything for me the first time. So, if anyone bothered to read through this whole thing, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of anything I could do to try and solve my issue. I seriously would pay the person that helps me solve the issue. And if no one is able to help, then I have my shipping label and everything already to send my phone back to Samsung again. I hope it doesn't come down to that though! Anyways, thanks for reading!

Bring it into sprint, and tell them that your invoking your samsung warranty. If they can't fix it you will get another phone. I had to do this after my phone, purchased from ebay, started to give me trouble with constant reboots for no reason, then it would freeze up.. It took one trip to the store, then a call to sprint to get it done..
