Data only working on sense ROMS on my phone? - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

One day all of a sudden as i was running cm9 alpha 5 my data went away. The h or 4g icon flashes and disappears in half a second. Ive tryed fresh flashing cm9 alpha 5/6 and MikMIUI data doesnt work on any of those. Wifi works but i need my 4g connection for when im out of range of a router.
Ive tryed a couple of sense roms and the data works there (mik XE, miktouch, virtuous infinity, primadona) but i cant get it working on senseless roms /: .
Im not the biggest fan of sense can somebody help please?

This is a commonly reported issue with CM9 A5/6. MikMIUI is based on CM9 and so has some of the same issues. Time will tell if it is insurmountable.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

So basically im not the only one having issues with data. Is there anyway around this?
Also my data was working fine on cm9 alpha 5 for a month until about 3 days ago.
I really want to run miui because of the extensive customization options but i need my data plan working /:

I had the same problem with CM9 A5 about a month ago. Out of the blue, it just stopped working. Somewhere on these boards, there's mention of changing the APN settings which I did and it fixed the data issue I was having. If I can find it again, I'll post the link.

Here you go, post #4. Once I changed it, data returned to normal.

So i use the apn internet2.voicestream.com?
I tryed it but i dont know if im doing something wrong? I put down that address where it said name and apn and i left all the other settings as they were but i still didnt have data?

I tryed it on mikMIUI (love that rom) and i have no data at all. 3 days ago the data icon would flash but now it just never comes on.
Ive tryed reflashing a billion times and redownloading also but i cant get data to work

Are you S-On or S-Off? If S-ON, did you flash the boot.img file before flashing a new ROM? When you flashed your new ROM, did you wipe all data along with it? Davlic, user data, etc.? Unfortunately, I don't really know what else to tell you other than to do a nandroid backup, wipe everything off your phone and see what kind of results you get. Once my issue was corrected, I really didn't go any deeper into why it happened and didn't get much of a response when I inquired about it.

Yeah im gonna try that. But yeah i am s-off and when i flash a rom i wipe cache and dalvik and i format system, cache, and data manually.

Finally got it working! All I did was what I used to do every time I installed a rom with a different kernel, mount system and data then install. I'm so happy I got it working and batterylife shouldn't be an issue with mikmiui since my 3800mah battery is coming in today

jeffakajeff in the CM9 alpha thread suggested to reflash the radio. I didn't find a link here on xda, but i didn't look very hard. I did find it on rootzwiki, as it was pinned at the top.
I have this issue. Seemed to crop up every 2-3 days recently, even though i have been running A6 since its release. It progressively got worse until i just completely wiped and restored my device today.
Gonna flash the radio and see if the issue returns.
*edit*
Don't forget to wipe cache/dalvik after flashing radio or it won't boot

what kernel did you use, just curious?

I used the kernel mikmiui comes with. All I did was wipe everything data both caches and then I formatted data cache and system. And before I flashed miui I mounted data and system.
On a side note man this battery makes the phone twice as thick but I think its worth it. I haven't charged it yet and I've only lost 5% with wifi and bluetooth on. Screen times been about 45 minutes

I started having this problem with my phone. I talked to a girl at T-Mobile and she said the SIM card was having issues and replaced it. I had the same problem the next day and went in again. Since I have the insurance plan, she just RMA'd the phone for free, saying it was a problem they've been having with the radio/antenna stuff. The radio would get finger-meltingly hot and flash the H icon on and off and would never get a mobile data connection. I also tried backing the clock speed way down below stock to see if that resolved it.

Network connection problems?

Hi all,
A few days ago I noticed my data connection lags and it takes a while until tha up and down arrow start blinking under the H indicator.
Sometimes it is fine.
Also several times I noticed in an are with 4 bars my connection would drop completely, shie no bars and show a little x instead and then a minute or two later it would come back. Tried factory reset, did not help...
Does anybody know what is going on?
I have done the true perma root and unlock as posted in the development sticky.
I also removed some bloatware which do not come back when I do a factory restore. Not sure if that matters though or of it is related.

Are you running the stock rom? I'm guessing so. If you went through and deleted a bunch of stuff you very easily could have deleted something you didn't want to.
I would suggest grabbing the stock nandroid restore from the thread in the development section and going back to a clean install. See if that helps.

im not rooted and i have the same issues. Going from full bars to nothing and then it lights back up. I assume it has something to do with the tower its connected to
Sometimes I only get phone call reception and no data,I call T-Mobile and they say I'm not in a 4g area,but for the past months I've been here and get the 4g full signal..this only happens like twice a month.its a big problem with their towers.

I'm sure it's a radio issue. Happens to mine and my roommates MT4Gs. And since we don't have another radio, we're kind of SOL there.
I've had my mt4g since they dropped, and it's only started doing this to me recently... when it happens, I go to the APN's and reset to default... it seeeeeeeeems to work (for a short time), but then it goes right back to sucking...
You can also just toggle airplane mode. Will bring speeds back up for a short time.

HTC Inspire 4G reboots alot

My HTC Inspire 4G reboots too damn much, it's been like this for weeks and am only writing this now because i have been patient but now i'm at the point of throwing this thing out of the window. I've tried many roms but no matter what it reboots, the rebooting is not constant like on a loop or something like that but i'll be either browsing, listening to music, playing games, etc and it'll reboot, it reboots more than 5-8 times a day sometimes more. As i said before i've tried many roms from Android Revolution HD, aospX 1.0.0-BR2 - 4, Unofficial Cyanogenmod 9 by PipelinerArd, Smartdroid Reloaded, and IceSense V Beta 3 and no matter what it reboots. Is there anyone that can please help me?
As i was typing this i was watching netflix on the inspire 4g and it rebooted on me again for no reason.......i swear i wanna slam this ish on the damn floor .
Try a stable Gb rom after a full wipe.
Wipe data, wipe dalvik, wipe all partitions (except sd card).
If you get a reboot, then try it without the sd card.
Sent from a dream.
I did try a stable GB rom, i tried Android Revolution HD 7.0.4. Is there a stock 2.3.3 rom for inspire 4g that i can try? I've also removed the sd card but it still rebooted. I'm currently using aospX 1.0.0 BR4.
With so many roms and still have reboots its a sign of a dying battery. Its a known symptom of a battery about to go.

My gf's has the same exact problem, and she has replaced her battery but it didnt help at all. Ive tried multiple kernels/roms but nothing helps. Im thinking it has something to do with her wifi because she says it happens almost always when she is at work or home (connected to wifi). Could flashing a different radio help this or are they strictly for data/voice/text?
I would be more willing to blame hardware for this, maybe the phone has taken water damage or been dropped. Check and clean all connections on the device (sdcard, simcard, battery, usb, wifi antenna, radio antenna). Flashing different radios is not the first route to take for fixing this problem. But if you want to do this, first start with re-flashing the current radio (obviously doing an md5 check on it while it's on the phone before doing so) and start from there.
I read a reply in another thread about this saying the sim card was the culprit and after replacing it he didnt have anymore reboots...I had her go get a new one, I'll report back if this fixes the problem or not.
Just saw this thread I have also been having reboot issues diff roms seem to help on cm9 now and it only does it a couple times a day now instead of the 7 or more like before. I have replaced the battery, flashed many diff kernels. I would love to find out the culprit next step is to tear apart the phone and check connections

Happened to me 10 times a day. Flashed arhd 6.3.3 and not even one reboot in 2 weeks. Shame on att that recommended new battery which did not help at all!!!
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app
Just wanted to update everyone with this problem, after my gf put her new sim card yesterday morning she hasnt had a single reboot yet...normally she would have had 10+ by now so I'm pretty confidant that was the problem.
Well i currently don't have a sim card in the phone so i only use it for everything else but a phone. what are radios for?
Oh and also i've noticed that the phone doesn't reboot while in recovery (i'm using 4ext) i've left my phone in recovery for a while because i needed to transfer a big file (over 10gb) to my micro sd and it never reboots and now everytime i need to transfer a big file to the phone i go to recovery, the reason i say this is because if it was a hardware issue wouldn't it do it anywhere including recovery. Also doesn't the phone creates a log that perhaps can help find out what the problem is?
So your phone is having reboot problems, but your not using it as a phone (not on a network, no SIM card)
Have you replaced the battery yet?

Nope not yet, have to buy one but at the moment i have no money but when i do i'm gonna buy a new battery and see. But i truly hope that the problem is not hardware and that it's just the battery.
I would recommend buying a battery from Amazon or somewhere else online. At&t tends to rip people off. I had a friend who bought two batteries and a charger for them for 25 on Amazon

Okay, New update. Switched out my SIM card for a new one and it seems to reboot less. Key word is less; so it did not fix the reboot so I will downgrade to a more stable gingerbread Rom. Hopefully that will fix it. Just 9 months till I can get a new phone!

Glad to hear that your inspire 4g reboots less, Mine is still rebooting but it has been rebooting less ever since i installed Cyanogenmod 7.2.0. What i don't get is doesn't android creates a log file right before a crash (reboot) and shouldn't that log tell us what the problem could be?
Downloaded app so I can check the logs easier. Next restart I catch I will make sure to check the log. Can't be sure which log is the restart at this moment, but most of my close logs look to be a problem with java

Do me a favor and download from the play store and app called "Android System Info" it is free, and will give you easy access to the log files.
If you can catch your phone rebooting, try and look up the log right after it and copy and paste the info you find here.
I am still waiting for mine to reboot I put the app on mine so I could look at the log from the reboot, and since then my phone hasn't rebooted.
It's like it knows its being watched.

beans custom rom + phone info app= no 4g

Youve been warned. Do not mix the above. if you switch to 3g you wont be able to switch back to 4g.

DAMN, wish I would have seen this earlier. I thought it was just my phone or that I was doing something wrong. spend several hours trying to figure out what was going on! I finally gave up earlier today and called it quits on the theme anyway. dont need it, just dont like the clock centered in beanstock R2. Bean 3.1 and v5 have the clock to the right but I didn't get as battery life with them. back to R2 now with no theme.
What specific interactions are causing the 4g issues? I have both and still have a very strong 4g signal ...
The theme looks amazing, but I lose systemui.apk and have no wallpaper. Am I missing something? Md5 matches.

using phoneinfo to change it from LTE/CDMA/EVDO to anything else, you can switch off it fine but if you try and change it back then it won't go back and will be stuck at CDMA auto prl.
Is there anyway to fix it?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
This theme is kick a$$, I hope that a fix is coming soon. Right now I have not played with phoneinfo yet and still have 4g. Everything seems to be running fine and Google Wallet is working too. The only thing I see that gives me a hard time is when I try wifi off, I have to reboot the phone to get wifi back on. But that's it, tethering is works, data works, phone is fast, calls are clear and the theme is great. Thank you for the great theme!!!!!!! Hoping for a fix soon for others....

Saaaame issue. I tried going in to recovery, wiping caches and dirty flashing the rom again but it didn't work. Then I tried wiping data & caches and I reflashed the rom and it's STILL stuck on CDMA auto (PRL)...ugh.
The worst part is that I was just messing around with it, I didn't have a specific reason to change it.

LTE issues (no LTE after Phone Info)

Well to save battery I ran across a post on Droid Life about an app turns off LTE since we don't have a setting for that. The app is called Phone Info. I was able to switch it to 3G but now I can't get LTE back. I tried to select "LTE/CDMA/EVDO" but it doesn't stick. It keeps going back to "CDMA Auto (PRL). I tried rebooting and even wiping the phone but nothing. Any help guys?

It's been discussed around here pretty extensively but it's an issue with Bean's rom (mb synergy too, I don't know) but once it is switch off lte/cdma/evdo you can't switch it back .
When it happened to me, the only thing that fixed it was nandroiding back to my stock/rooted rom, changing it and then reflashing beans and leaving everything alone.
I just did this today and just switched back to lte with no issues whatsoever it went straight to 4g.
The other night simply I opened this app and lost all data on beans b6...It was as if the app glitched because the screen glitched and bam, data/voice was gone... so I went to device info and the app automatically changed my device to wcdma preferred wtf? I got 3g back by switching to cdma, but still no LTE even after switching to lte/cdma/evdo...
So I ended up having to reprovision my device by dialing: *2767*3855#
This will wipe data so have a nandroid ready, but it should restore LTE...atleast it did for me.

On Beans? It works on stock, but hasn't worked on Beans. mb it got fixed in B7 though.
Similar issue here. I flashed CM10 last night. My 4g worked for about 10 minutes, but it dropped 2 times within 5 minutes, then for good. I rebooted to see if it would come back, no luck. Went back to a restore, same thing. Got phoneinfo and I can get data only on LTE/WCDMA and LTE/GSM/WCDMA. LTE/CDMA/Evdo shows no data, and roaming. Can't seem to get 3g at all. Phone won't even show as activated in CM.
update: Droidstyle's fix seems to have worked. Too scared to play around with the preferred network or CM now though
Avoid jellybomb theme and beans rom if you use the phone info app

[Q] is 4g working on CNA 3.6.6 Rebel edition Build 8

well i rooted and flashed this rom to my one x and it looks like its only connecting to 3g. i was wondering if 4g is workin for this rom. i read something about a stuck on 3g bug in the development forums but it says it was fixed a while ago. so idk. thanks
I've not had any problems with it. You did a full wipe before?
Sent from my One X
I remember awhile ago you had to flash a 4.03 Rom beforehand but I'm pretty sure that bug has been squashed out
I did a factory reset yes. I did not wipe dalvik cache or anything else. Just the factory reset. My signal bar shows 3g every now and then but it usually just says h or h+ which I'm not sure what that means. My browser and everything works fast so its not like this is a huge problem or anything. Its just that before I flashed this ROM my phone would usually always say 4g by the signal bar. This probably sounds stupid but if I'm on 4g it would say it by the signal bar correct?

for AOSP
E = edge
3g = 3g/HSPA
H = HSPA+/4G
4G = 4G LTE
This happened to me before on the new MIUI. A reboot solved it.
This also happened to me on ViperXL, it came back on after a few hours. Maybe AT&T was messing with the towers.
Wow OK cool. Well I guess I'm good then. Like I said its usually h or h+. I was really wondering if I was gonna regret rooting and flashing but u have given me peace of mind. thank u very much.
