What ROM? I also have SM, but have never encountered any problems with data on any ROM. Make sure it's actually on and the APN is case-sensitive.

I remember my data refusing to work once in a while on CM7. Rebooting the phone always fixed the problem. Try that first.

Maybe. I guess you should flash a different kernel - faux123 does wonders. I'm currently running the MIUI/faux combo and it works great.

Ok i've seen that kernel floating around. I just reinstalled CM7 Nightly and no changes, i did a hard reboot so the APN's would populate...but nothing is working. At least with WIFI i can install all the google apks and get the phone set up correctly. I CAN make phone calls without the wifi present, so at least there is that, haha.

So can i get simple mobile to work on my phone with CM7? None of the fixes for the APN are working. I've tried multiple ROMS from different developers.
This one by Faux123, its the 2.3.4 AOSP or something like that, right? I tried to download, but the host website isn't responding.
Is there a way to download the STOCK 2.3.3 kernel for the G2X?
This is why they say to back up first before flashing.
Most of the files linked around here were on megaupload which is now defunct.
Ill work on upping a new one, but someone may beat me to it.
or...just search....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278910
Did your data work with the stock rom and then stop when you rooted and flashed a different one?

SM uses t-mobiles network, and in my area, t-mobile's data network has gone to hell. Most of my friends using t-mobile smartphones have had data issues in the past few days. Quite possibly the same thing might be happening to you?
Simply rename tmo apn name to simplemo, then apn to Simple, mms apn should add smpl.mms, have fun.
Sent via G2X-SINGH-UI
Alright, this is weird. I noticed after a hard reboot that the APN's populating are the T-mobile, and one called SIMPLE, the SIMPLE APN has the same MMS settings and all that stuff but has a proxy server attached, along with some other fields.
This one works, for right now anyway, last night it wasnt. The APN setup provided on the G2X section of Simple Mobile's website isnt working for me anymore for whatever reason.
I'm not too worried about it, i guess. everything seems to be working, i even switched to the T-mobile APN then back to SIMPLE just to test it out.
Either way, I need to get off Simple Mobile.

OK since I've gotten this phone I cannot get data to work on ANY rom based on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5. Everyone says do hard reboot and pull similar out and reboot and this and that and data never appears. See I have a unlocked g2x and I'm not with t mobile so I think the problem is with that, as others on this phone that doesn't have t mobile
Yes I'm 1000000% positive everything is, right, APN settings are correct and all that as 2.3.3 roms always work with the same set up. So no idea why buy it is like that. I really want CM7 or MIUI and this sucks

Try using an app that backs up and restores APN's.
Its not the sim card. Are yal reading my first post? Everything works 100% correct data wise on 2.3.3 , just not .4 or .5 and I'm not the only one with this problem.

you know I been tried to install EB 2.3.5 and you are right 100% the problem does lie in the version of android but I noticed that when I first flash the ROM it workes good but if I power off or reboot I loose data but not phone. I noticed that I lose my apn settings it is a APN related issue but it is also tied into the rom. When I try to input the values myself to what they should be I press save and it just never appears in the list. I finally got it working last night I rebooted my phone and it did the same thing and the apn dissapeared and no data and so on. So I saw in a different thread about data issues to try a hard reboot and finally someone told me how to do as hard reboot. So I tried that and what do ya know it worked. So now I am running EB ver 1.08 based off CM7 and 2.3.5 and I have data and everything works perfectly. The next time you loose data try holding vol up and power until the phone resets. I hope this helps a little bit.

So I got that you dont loose your apn settings I did read your post but did you tryt the hard reboot? It cant hurt just give it a shot. Sorry if you did already. Also FatalityBoyZahy might be onto something xboarder has a apn fix that works as well. Also when you install the rom do you follow the steps I noticed that doniq says to wipe cache, wipe system, wipe dalvik,format/system. The last step I never saw on any of the other posts for other roms. Maybe it doesnt matter but I noticed that it is different and I didnt do it the first time because I didnt read.
Same issue but fortunately i was able to fix mine by pressing reset to default on the APN menu then enable disable enable again Airplane mode. Using EB 2.3.5 base cm7 source. Hopefully it works for you.
I had the same thing. It worked for a day or two, but then data stopped. Did the hard reboot and it would fix it for a couple hours at best. I finally couldn't take it anymore and went back to 2.3.3. Like you, I tried everything everyone suggested and nothing worked. There were enough people with the problem that it clearly is a real issue, but everything people suggested were just band-aids, not solutions.
Just want to know if its just me or other people also. Lately even when I have service I don't actually have service..... Internet won't work/don't get texts I have to restart my phone to get it working again. Just want to know if it my phone or the service. Im running on [ROM-Leak][ODIN] Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKG4.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
No I have no issues with wifi.. This has been going on for about 3 days now... it pissing me off....
You could try flashing another modem and see if it gives you better results. It might just be that KG4 isn't good for your area.
um go To Wirless & networks then go to Mobile Networks Network operators and hit search now.. and when tmobile comes up click on it... try that see if it works
i don't know if this is considered a service issue or not though, but i did have a couple of calls that did not go through and i'm on Valhalla 1.3.2.
Anyone else you know in your area on T-Mobile? If so are they having an issue? If not, definitely turn off the phone, reseat the SIM (if it's old, go get a new one), then see if it's better. If not, try what bkoon said. Let us know how it goes.

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought you meant she has the same issue. What about doing a factory data reset & also reseating the SIM? Barring that, maybe flash a new ROM onto it to see if that helps. As bkoon alluded to, some modems (the part that talks to T-Mobile as well as wifi) work better in some areas than in others. Flashing a different ROM via ODIN would give you a different modem.
If you just want to flash the modem itself via ODIN, take a look in the developer forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192436). You open ODIN, put the modem file in the "PHONE" location, and hit start.
If you need help, let me know & I'll help in any way I can.

Well the thing is I have full bars and even says 4G but it acts like I have no service(also this only started recently and I used to never have problems). It hasn't happened since I installed a new ROM yet but I have only had the ROM for about 5 hours. I am going to try out modems also to see if I can get better reception in some areas, but I have never changed the modem before so we will see how it all goes.
I'm on WIND in Canada. Have been running with HellFire basically since the beginning. Gingerbread all the way through to 1.7 ICS now. Problem I'm having is voice and text work no problem. But in the top right now it goes to white bars a lot, losing data. I've tried messing with GetRIL, unchecking the saving RIL version option etc etc. No matter what I do I am having a hard time even getting a data connection now. I just installed Owain's ICS ROM and it appears I have the same problem. I'm at a loss for what to do. I heard it may be an issue with anything 4.0.4? Is this correct? It just doesn't seem in the forums like anyone is having as bad of data problems as I am. I rarely, if ever, get a data connection now. Can someone steer me in the right direction as to what I can do??
Thank you for any tips / advice in advance, it's much appreciated.
Hmm.. wait.. so far so good with Owain's ROM... also, I have not restored titanium settings yet... maybe it's a setting I constantly carry over from my titanium backup...... Going to try with no restore for a bit... then maybe revert to hellfire with no settings restored.....
edit: nope still having this issue.... is it just me or what?? can anyone confirm they have this issue?? i literally can't even get data on my phone at all right now it seems....

I actually just did that yesterday. Didn't solve the problem. I also reflashed AOKP. That didn't work. I restored to a backup of Milestone 6-1. That didn't work. I reflashed KJ6 modem. That didn't work. I flashed KG4 modem. That also didn't work. So far the only thing that seems to give me some data is running it on 2G only. I think on Monday, I'm going in to get the phone exchanged for a new one, and I'll just do a fresh flash right out of the box to ICS from stock GB. (Of course, following all the directions.)

I'd thought about doing that, I guess I'll try it right now, since I've got time. Would I be able to just install SGS Kernel Flasher and flash AntonX's kernel from that after using Heimdall to stock rooted?
EDIT: Sorry I'm kind of hijacking this thread, but I Heimdalled back to stock, but I'm still having the connectivity issues. I have full 4G signal, but data is crawling to the point where the connection times out before I can even load anything. When I set it to GSM only (EDGE), I can get data, but not the 4G speeds I'm paying for. Reverting to Plan A and getting it replaced on Monday. (I hear it's possible it's a SIM card problem too...) Thanks for the help though.
First of all I would like to say I appreciate all the work that the XDA forums has been doing, and I am pleased to see that the community is as strong, if not, stronger since the last time that I have been here a couple years ago. The questions, answers, feedback and help, let alone for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G released by T-Mobile in February of 2011, is amazing. These forums have really helped people make the most out of their device, and had it not exist, this Galaxy S in my hand would have been long forgotten by Samsung, and the Gingerbread stock ROM that I was given with would be my home. It reminded me of how much I had missed messing with these android devices; nothing like jailbreaking and installing cydia on my iPhone. The experience is not the same. Anyways...
Pulling out my T959V from its box I decided it was time to finally install ICS on it after Samsung have let these great device fade away.
I installed ICS last night and stayed up searching for kernels and testing out different ROMS some slow and many faster than others and decided that Cyanogen 9 was the best looking and performance-wise ROM on the phone in my opinion. Considering that all other ROMS base it on the nightly builds extra stuff was just junk, considering this phone only has one processor. So I upgraded from Gingerbread 2.3.6 and I've tried many different kernels and everything works except WiFi. It can not even search for one network no matter how many times I press "Scan". I'd appreciate all the help I can get.
Thanks

I'd check the MD5 of the CM9 DL and make sure it's a match. I haven't heard of anyone else having that issue. Also make sure you DL the latest CM9. If the MD5 matches format system, wipe cache/dalvik and flash again. Reboot an let it sit for five minutes then try wifi.

Yeah I've checked the MD5 sums of the zip packages after download. This is so bizarre, and the CM9 is not the only ROM I've tried. I've tried about 4 or 5 of them and different kernels as well and all of them do not connect to WiFi. I have formatted system, and always wiped any trace of the prior ROM before installing. Plus, I have tried the method where I would boot to recovery and "fix permissions". No good.
I would use a heimdall one click go back to stock kj6 then flash up to cm9. Sounds like you have some bugs that will only get squashed by going back to stock. IMO I would flash bootloaders too. Just so it overwrites EVERYTHING.

Sounding more and more like a hardware issue. Wifi and bluetooth are on the same chip so if your still on stock try and turn on BT. If it turns on it might not be the chip. If it gives the same error I'd bet money on a bad chip.
This would be a good time for logcat and dmesg...

Bluetooth works fine, WiFi just wont turn on. Its not a hardware issue, and WiFi was working the same day before I flashed to ICS
Done use stock + blastoff that is a stepping stone one click for people to go back to stock then either flash another gb rom or ics rom. Wifi is broken because of the new wifi module used. I never meant for it to be used as a daily driver. Use the heimdall one click bhundven has posted in his one click thread.

I had the same exact Wi-Fi issue a few months ago. I tried everything you tried and what members are suggesting in this thread.
I also asked about this issue on irc (Team Acid) and was told by Bryan that ICS (if I remember correctly) doesn't support WPS button connection. I assumed it was "on my end" and not ROM related.
Bryan suggested that I reboot my router. I had done that several times before asking. I didn't even know you could log in to your router to reconfigure it so he suggested that I Google to learn.
Long story short. I googled and read allot. I reconfigured my router many different ways. I disabled my WPS button connection and reset my router many times. I changed the security every way possible. I even set up a guest network.. the ONLY way I was able to connect to my Wi-Fi network was if I disabled the security COMPLETELY.
That wasn't an option for me. I live in an apartment building and I have seen people in the halls with laptops using their neighbors Wi-Fi.
I tried everything for a couple of months and finally went back to Gingerbread last weekend.
Sorry I can't be of any help with this reply. I just wanted to share my experience and let you know that you aren't the only one that has this issue...man I miss ICS. I didn't have an issue with the battery after "I settled in" Hopefully we can find out what is going on with us.
Btw. I'm back on Gingerbread and I connect to Wi-Fi with no problems.
WPA2 encryption should work fine. It works fine with my router configuration

I tried that several times FB. During my searching I came across a thread (one of those answers sites) that gave your answer as a fix.
I REALLY did my do diligence in trying to get connected. I hadn't seen anyone else with this problem until today so I spent hours trying WPA2 and other configurations. I thought WPA2 would fix it for sure because that was what I had read so I kept trying it. It never worked for me. The only thing that did was having no encryption at all..I started to think that it was a "Black Ice Voodoo thing" lol. Remember how some users, no matter what they did, could never flash Black Ice Voodoo?
Btw the error I always got was an Authentication error.
Thanks for replying
If you're up for it and your router is supported, try OpenWRT. It really sounds like a router issue.

Sorry. I don't use a pc at work. I have to sneak on xda using my phone and they don't like seeing is on our phones for to long.
I forgot to mention in my reply to the OP that I DIDN'T have a problem scanning for Wi-Fi access. I could do that. I just couldn't connect without getting an Authentication Error. My phone would scan, connect, then discontent and give me the error.
I've had the exact same authentication error, scans,asks for password, tries to connect, then errors out, usually always after flashing CM9 and either a reinstall (recopying to my SDcard too) or a fix permissions have fixed it.
ALSO, this is very important. FORGET the connections in your wifi list after doing the fix permissions. IT WILL NOT connect to a saved connection. Reboot to recovery, fix permissions (don't use a tool within android), goto wifi, click on the connection and choose forget, then choose the connection again and try that.

Thanks Jeff. I'll try it when I get home. I have a Motorola Surfboard that is less than a year old (It's a modem/router combo) so the unit is "up to date"

I will try this. I have done much of what you have stated here maybe even all of it before. But not in the order you describe.. I'd really like to go back to ICS. I had 4G on it (home) where I used to get 3G on Gingerbread. Also at home I needed Wi-Fi calling on Gingerbread but on ICS I had great reception.
@jeff. I just googled OpenWRT and I should have before I said I'll try it when I get home lol. OpenWRT might be to much for me right now.
Thank you for all your help people. I'll update you as soon as I can. I must go sailing now. It's Red Flag!
