HELP! Data connection in USA With UK model drops after 1 second - HTC Sensation

I am desperate for some help. I am visiting the US and have purchased a T-mobile sim while i am here.
Data connects but then drops immediately in a never ending loop.
I've installed the T-mobile US firmware but no luck. My uk Orange sim connects fine and ive tried the US sim in a friends UK Desire HD which also works fine.
I now have no idea what else to try.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance to any one that can help.

Have you checked your apn settings to make sure your data is configured correctly with T-Mobile?

Yes. They're the same as those picked up on the Desire HD I tried it in.
Interestingly, it began working but after switching to wifi and back it stopped again.

Thats interesting i dont know what the Wi-Fi would have anything to do with your mobile connection. Also make sure you check your network selection and make sure its automatic.

Do you have the phone set to wcdma only? You will be stuck on edge I believe since the euro sensation is 1900umts. You may be able to switch to 1700 by flashing the modem partitions (not included in ruu)

Yes, net selection is automatic and i've also tried different combinations of data type.
No luck there either.
I'm on open sensation rc1 at the moment. I'm going to try a sense ROM but I'm sure it won't help.
I'll give another radio a try.
Thanks guys.

My inspire wont receive 3G?

My inspire is for AT&T which I have unlocked for t - mobile but I only get edge internet...
I saw there was a number to(call)/ dial to change settings but when I set it to 3g my signal would just stop and say no service. I also heard wasn't possible to have 3 but I doubt that, is it true?

That depends on the area where you are....in the case you are using a different carrier from ATT you wont get 3g...just edge.
So "lay012" gets 3g because he has AT&T?
There's no way then?

For 3G
Tmobile uses 1700/2100 MHz
HTC Inspire uses 850/1900 MHz
So to answer you, there is NO way. Have to get a phone that matches the network.
The stuff they teach you in school 'skimming and scanning' or whatever your teachers called it shouldn't be used in life after school. I didn't see the unlocked for T-Mobile part .-.
I'm on AT&T.

No the bands are hardware dependent. This has been talked about it hundreds of times. A search would have shown this.

Make sure you have the right APN settings for your network.
How do I do that

contact your network provider
The network works great with stock
And all sense 4.0 roms except ics roms
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Aren't most Sense 4 roms ICS? I think you might mean AOSP-like roms. What you can do is change your APN settings (network -> Access point names) and the network operators (network -> Network operators).
I'll try

No data issue for me running sense 4, 3.33 firmware. I say( thank God) so far so good!
I've actually seemed to get more bars with the upstate firmware!

Help??

Hey guys. I have a one x and an inspire. Today i got a micro sim adapter and used it in my inspire. Worked fine, until i went back to the one x. Now i can't get mobile data to work at all. It will let me send texts and call people but that's it. Only way i can use it is through wifi. Please help!!

Try this:

But do you have a 3g sim card or 4g lte? I know that the hox needs a 4g lte sim in order to get data.

Its not clear what your issue is (what you are asking). Did you use the MicroSIM previously in the One X, and it works fine, and now it doesn't after using it (with adapter) in your Inspire?
I fixed it. I reset the APNs and it worked

If you live on the East Coast it could just be a byproduct of Hurricane Sandy.
Let's try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1884249
First thing I would do before changing anything is call T-Mobile and see if there is an outage or scheduled maintenance in your area. I know people don't like to call tech support but as that s what I do for work sometimes people can really mess things up when it wasn't even on their end.
Not saying you would in any way, but it's good to cancel out all possibilities that are easy first
Ps..questions go in the q&a section...questions and answers

It's been like this for over a month. I live in Seattle so it won't be affected by the hurricane sandy.

Snoof I'm on that setting right now and I'm still on edge :'(
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Have bothered to call your carrier? Maybe your provisioning is off etc etc. Were you ever throttled does it happen on every rom?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
all of the above
plus, pull your sim/check apn's/see if your network is set to wcdma preferred on phone

Specifically for I4G

I hope I didn't throw some users off with the title to this thread..I have a question though..I'm using at&t gophone service. I actually just got the activation sim card today. My question is what are the best APN settings for the inspire 4g ?

Download tweakker from the market along with apn backup and restore. Make a backup of ur current apn then run tweaker. Had nothing but good things happen with that including faster up and down speeds.
