I hope this is in the right place if not I apologize. Anyways I was running AOSP v0.9 and this morning I turned off data to conserve battery life. After that my phone will only connect to 1x and it is always roaming. It seems to realize that it is supposed to be on USCC it even says USCC in the status bar. So I called customer service and they told me to do a *228 and from what I hear this is really bad for anyone running ASOP then I did it anyways and it connected me to verizon so I disconnected the call and am still stuck roaming and with no 3g. Then I decided to switch back to MIUI and I'm still having the same problems. Another weird note, if I set my network to automatic it kills my connection but if I put it on home only I am roaming. Any ideas guys.

This is the same issue I posted earlier that I haven't resolved yet. I am getting the verizon thing when I dial *228 as well. It is really frustrating because the phone is virtually unusable for data now. Hopefully we get it figured out. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

OK so after doing some research, it looks like this issue can happen if you disable your data (using a toggle, such as the ones in the notification bars of some roms), and then flash a new rom or kernel or something with the data off. It looks like it wipes the APN? Anyone know if this sounds like what may be the issue or how we might go about fixing it?
Well I just got off an hour long call with tech support they think it is an issue with the radio and want me to do an exchange since I bought it less than thirty days ago. So I don't know maybe I should just cancel this and get a new phone with a new carrier. Maybe something with 4g. But I love this phone so I don't know what I'm going to do. Keep me updated if you find a fix.

Check the Showcase AOSP thread. I managed to find a little trick that fixed our phones suffering from the same issue. Its worth a shot on yours.

Tried your method and nothing. Kind of running out of ideas here. Any radio/modem I should need would be in the ROM right? I have gone as far as to flash all the way back to DI14 and can't get this thing to work. Still can't figure out how it even happened in the first place.
Well I figured it out for me anyways. Call US cellular and they will give you a new phone under warranty. I'm on mine now. It is back to 2.1 and stock but it works!

Just got mine working about 10 minutes ago. Call USCC tech and they said that for some reason I was no longer "provisioned" for 3G service so they fixed it. I know our issues were a little different. Glad we're both up and running again. Now lets see if I can do something else to screw this up . . . . .

Amen to that I spent 4 hours on the phone with them yesterday and they couldn't fix it. So the actually brought me a new phone to my work. I couldn't believe they would do something like that.

Wow now that's service. I have to say US Cellular has hands down the best customer service I have ever had to deal with. Store, tech support, billing. Everything.

Well it only took me about three hours I tried flashing a new kernel with an app I downloaded from the market can't remember the name but of course everything went to hell. Since I don't have a computer it took me 2 days to find one and get it flaked to stock in odin now my speaker doesn't work oh well maybe in another couple of days I can flag it again. Maybe I should just quit screwing worth it but it's just to much fun lol.

Hey,
So I got my infuse a little while ago, and immediately unlocked it, entered the correct Telus APN's, but I'm still not getting 3G data.? I do have full bars, and can place calls and send texts, but no 3G data.
Please help guys!
Any ideas?
UPDATE. Nevermind, going back into the APN settings, it seems as though there wasn't an APN? lol, even though I already entered and saved it..
oh well, all is well.
how did you fix this issue?
Hi,
How did you fix it? I just got an unlocked samsung infuse and I have same problem, I can make calls and sms but data is not working, only through wifi.

When I came to India on vacation, I had the same problem. I unlocked properly and I was making calls/sending SMS fine but no data as you said. I'm not sure which of the following steps made it work but here's what I did:
1) Tried adding the APN settings in Android Settings. However this never seemed to 'stick' since after saving, I'd never see the profile.
2) Downloaded an app called "APN Manager" from the Android Market. Added a new APN entry, selected it and quit out of the app.
3) Called Vodafone customer service and they send they were sending APN setting to my phone again.
After a couple reboots, it miraculously started working.
Best of luck (because that plays a major role lol)

Are you able to get 4G while on Telus? I've always had the 3G icon up top with typical 3G speeds. I want to see that icon say '4G'
Is that even possible?
Can we please keep questions in the Q & A section? That's what it's for. I apologize in advance OP, this isn't completely directed toward you. Just the crap ton of people I've seen doing it lately. But glad you found a solution!

Hey guys I purchased an unlocked G2X off of craigslist after my HD2 died on me :/ now I am running all of the Stock OS no mods nothing. This phone is unlocked as is working with at&t. I am able to access 2g which lets me get on the internet and browse (even thought it is slow it works really good). well the phone is great except I cannot download picture messages (MMS) it just keeps saying failed?!? idk what I am doing wrong? I tried to talk AT&T about it but they are saying that since they do not have a similar phone to it they cannot check the settings for me which sucks! I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and found a way to fix it?? **I HAVE GOOGLED, AND READ UP ON VARIOUS TOPICS BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYONE WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME!*
Thank you for all of your help!! Someone please get back to me! THank you ago

I have the same issue with Simple Mobile. I think the images being sent are larger then what we can accept.
yeah i thought about that also, but it wont even let me send a message out, it just fails at that part too. I have tried using Handcent, resizing the images myself everything.
What I am thinking that it is, is the fact that MMS Proxy settings inside of the APN settings?
any suggestions?

It definitely has a lot to do with apn settings. What I suggest is to find out what is the apn settings for one of at&t's (& Simple Mobile's) Android phone and copy it to the G2x and that should most likely fix the MMS issue. I fixed a myTouch 3g for somebody having MMS issues and all it took was Googling the apn settings of the carrier and then add it to the phone and you should be golden.

Have you checked your APN'S... Cuz that's the part you need to fix if it isn't set up for Att.
Usually you would need APNbackup from market or sideload it and backup and then alter apn for att then restore.
If not try using goSms and fill in mms proxy/apn info

Guess i should start from the top here..
i purchased the phone used from a friend, the phone was having issues with crashing and locking up,
as well as constant signal loss/and wifi was also causing crashing (gingerbread 2.3.5)
so i flashed CM10.1.3 stable it's no longer random crashing, Wifi is still causing reboots(but no more locking up after booting)
tried flashing a radio for it to fix the signal problems, and no dice.
could this be in the hardware since the radio didn't seem to do crap
On Monday I'm going to try and beat a refund out of my friend for selling me a faulty phone
so if i can't get it fixed by then it's not my problem any more
update: I flashed "AT&T 2.3.6 OTA Update Radio I727ATTKK1" it actually fixed my wifi, but now i'm getting no signal at all, attempted to make a phone call and it just says "Mobile network not available"

Odin the stock firmware and see if you still have problems. If you do then it's probably hardware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924

my power went out mid-download of the stock firmware, and thanks to some retard they're uploaded on hotfile, which allows downloads every hour thirty.
so i'm gonna go GTA5 it up for a bit and then come back and try again.
First off you need a jellybean radio for using cm 10.1.3 that's why signal was dropping

Flashed i727ucmc1 that's what was on the phone from stock atleast the way i recieved it, it would get signal, then it would drop signal, rinse repeat, would allow an occasional phone call, other times it would just lose signal the second i hit the call button after dialing a number.

Might as well check your APN while your at it. Is it set to wap.cingular or pta? Settings>Wireless & Networks More>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. Which ever one it's set to change it to the other and see if the issue persists.
Took it to another friend, says it's water damaged, and the GSM antenna is fried, just gonna get a refund, and go buy a retail one, screw buying used.

I had problems with my phone until I flashed CM 10.2. You might want to give it a try. It is really smooth and less buggy than other ROMS imho

Had a water damaged phone that did exactly this, so it's surely possible.

I was running the 10.1.3 stable on it it seemed run 100x better than stock and wasn't too buggy, glitchy
or laggy. Got a new skyrocket headed my way ill try it on there hopefully Amazon wont screw me like eBay has
in the past the last thing I ordered from Amazon was this LG thrive I'm typing this reply on, this phone is as reliable
As Ford's old inline 6's
As the title says - we (three N5 in the household, two in one part of MA, another 90 miles away) get NO SERVICE message on the top left screen and service bar is empty.
It started just prior to 5.1 OTA upgrade. It can come at any time, I noticed often when I take it out of my pocket, or even when it lies quietly on the desk - out of the blue it has no service.
Anyone else experience this? Any idea what's going on?
I've been having the same issue. However mine started after the 5.1 update. I have a completely stock n5 on straight talk. I haven't had any issues since yesterday morning when I deleted two other apn's that were not being used. I'm not sure if that fixed it for good yet. But you may want to try that.

Thanks, I'll try that. Not sure why would it affect it though unless they changed something in their APN settings. Worked fine up until about 3 weeks ago.
I'm not sure why deleting the other apns would work either, but I haven't had any trouble since I did. Doesn't make sense to me. My wife has an lg g3 and I had to do the same to get data and picture messaging to work on her phone. That's what gave me the idea to do it on my n5

Would you mind post screen shots of the APN you are using with ST? Just to make sure I have the correct setup?

Tried the App but it didn't work properly, it missed some details. I entered it manually and deleted the other APN. Not sure why inactive APNs could cause this.
