Bad SIM card.

no, tried 3 different sim cards, all the same response, 2 different mytouch 4G's with the same problem, only says limited service

I had a very odd issue similar to this after trying some different roms and then using CWM to restore my RG rom...
In short, I was only able to get service via wifi calling and while in my 'home' area. As soon as i left my home, I would loose all service while others maintained service just fine. If i didn't know any better, it would seem that my phone was locked to a specific tower.
It took a factory reset on the rom before I could get any service back while outside of my home market.

that almost sounds like the same issue, I can get wifi with no problem, just will not let me get service any other way, when I try to select tmobile from network selection it says your sim card will not let you get service

shot in the dark, but... did you check your apn settings???

how do I check apn settings?

I would grab a fresh rom, factory reset the device, flash the rom and reflash the radio. At this point, if you don't do so regularly, MD5 check what you download to ensure its as it should be.
If we go with the 'locked to a tower' assumption, when this happened to me, it appeared 'locked' to the tower it first connected to upon reboot. If you are not in that area now, it prob wouldn't connect.
Also, i have had nothing but problems when I attempted to apply the APN settings listed in forum posts. Just default them, see if it helps..
Settings> Wireless & Network> Mobile Networks> APN Settings > menu button, reset to default. But i think this only affects mms, internet and not the connection to the mobile network itself.
**edit**
I also received an error when attempting to manually connect or search to a mobile network.

factory reset, from cwm?

Yes. Once completed, i went ahead and reflashed the rom while still in CWM.

any other ideas if this doesnt work?

lol, brick it and call tmobile.. "its stuck in a bootloop"

another thought is to call tmobile and ask them essentially if they can reset your device in the towers. I worked for them (voicestream) like 12 years ago, the lingo has most likely changed but there maybe something in the system that is causing the problem..
I was able to see the problem go away once i factory reset, so I didn't bother. Just don't mention anything that could be noted as 'warranty voided'..
Typically, when I call, i give them just enough information to get them to do exactly what I want. They shouldn't care that you run a custom rom and they don't need to know.. just the fact that you cannot connect to the network should be information enough.

Sorry about the copy and paste but this seemed to be the one exception to the case, I would take a little time to look threw some of the rom settings. If this doesn't work send the phone back, it seems to me that's the last thing you want to do but if this doesn't work then you may have no choice but to and why waste more time.

i doubt this issue has anything to do with the apn settings as those only affect T-Mobile data, MMS and SMS. Even if they were completely wrong, the phone would still make a connection to the network for voice services.

When I got my mt4g with new simcard, I have to call tmo to reigster it.
Or perhaps the phone is simcard locked.

That's true, I had to do the same, I had a Blackberry prior to the MT4G and had to call and give them my IMEI and other info in order for them to activate my service, I got mine out right not through T-Mobile. I had to agree to the terms over the phone with CSR before I could do anything other than make calls.
Still I would think if he got the phone through T-Mobile and had the SIM sent with it as security goes you would still have to call in to verify you got the phone and call in the IMEI to be activated for that account.

See, this is the difference. You were able to connect to tmobiles network. OP is unable to get that far. There is no service, and even manually attempting to select a network resulted in an error.

The phone could be imei blockd. T-Mobile will do that if its lost or stolen. Or if the person who got it said he never got the package and they sent a new one. I kno this cuz my brother ripped of T-Mobile by sayin he didn't get a replacement and they blocked the one he said he didn't get. Try unlocking it and using a att sim

3G/mobile Internet won't turn on.

I have tried rebooting, turning the mobile network option on and off, airplane mode on and off, removing battery and sim, but my 3g won't turn on. No symbol in the notification bar or anything.
I'm in the UK on vodafone.
Any suggestions?

Go to your dialer and type in "*#*#4636#*#*" click on phone information and after that scroll down till you see a drop down menu click on wcdma only or on wcdma preferred.
That should do it..

Thanks, I tried that but no change. It's like its not coming on at all, usually 3g watchdog comes on when I switch to 3g but nothing is happening.

Hmm.. are you on the stock Rom or on a custom Rom? Also has it worked before or you've just bought a new piece?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App

Your SIM card could be old, remember when you get a device you should ask for a new SIM. Some one had that same problem and their SIM card.

Had the device since June, stock rom and brand new sim. Has worked fine until now.

Go into the settings and double check all the APN settings are correct. Maybe somehow the settings have been lost or changed.

This is strange. I checked the apn settings, the only option was UK vodafone contract (that's correct) , the address underneath said wap.vodafone.co.ukextendedcontrols (hmm)
I recently tried extended controls but uninstalled cos I didn't like it. So I just installed it again (I guess my refund / uninstall didn't work!) and added 3g toggle enabled it and lo and behold my mobile network is back.
I check apn settings and now the address just says wap.vodafone.co.uk!
Looks like it's fixed. I guess extended controls modified the apn address and then I uninstalled it, which left it reading the wrong address!
Woooo!
Thanks for the replies!
Sent from my brain

Yeah 9 out of 10 times if you cant get a data connection at all its the APN. Glad you got it sorted now.
Cheers

i had the same problem ( no 3G) i has green power installed had to set up the APN address

Quick settings is an app that could possibly break mms
If your mobile Internet is working then there's a very good chance that you have made a mistake in the APN settings, first delete your apns and then press reset to default and click your APN from the list
Compare it against these http://androidforums.com/samsung-i7500/9199-apn-settings-telenor-serbia-network-serbian.html

Where to find, and where to disable quick settings ?

APN settings are in settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/access point names.
Press menu reset to default. Then click check the box for your APN (there maybe more than one that you can test) . After that reboot. Try send mms now. If still no go back if there is any others that apply to you then test. If still no compare you apn to the link I sent, read through that forum aswell
You only need to worry about quick settings if you have installed it

ICS - Wifi Hotspot - Orange UK APN Locked

Hi All,
Does anyone have Wifi Hotspot working on ICS for Orange UK?
When lauching the APP, the Icon appears in the top indicating now active but does not show the 3G in it....subsequently the PC / Laptop does get an ip address from the phone, but no internet pass through.
Looking at the APN the "ConsumerBroadband" APN is locked and cannot edit to add the username and password to allow it to work....
Does anyone know how to fix this or if anyone has it working and could post how they got it working for Orange UK on ICS?
I have tried both the Funzy and Insertcoin and both have the same issue where its locked. If i revert back to a 2.3.5 version it works fine......
Regards

Q and a mate not dev.
Can't answer you sorry.

MOD - Can the post be moved to Q and A?

I have the same problem. Have tried LeeDriod, Elegancia & AR HD ICS ROMs.
No one yet has an answer
There must be a system file that contains the APN info that can be edited?
Looks like it's back to GB until some Guru can help.
Can some please help?
Many Thanks

Wifi hotspot orange apn locked
Im having the same issue, can't get the wifi hotspot to work on my stock ics sensation xe. I'm on orange as well and also have a locked out consumer broadband Apn.
Does anyone have a solution yet?
Chambers net
Htc sensation xe with Stock ICS

Worked.... for Me
Ignore the locked APN and try the following
Create a New APN
Set the following (with capitals but no "")
Name "Consumer Broadband"
APN "orangeinternet"
Username "Orange"
Password "Multimedia"
Authentication "CHAP"
Save and test
It did the job for me
Enjoy.

Works on HTC One S
Just tried the above on my other halfs one S which is also locked. Worked like a charm!

Sadly this fix doesn't seem to work for me on my sensation xe with ics :-(
I've created the APN as stated, when I fire up the hotspot and connect to it I still don't get any Internet to pass through.

The only trouble I had in getting wifi tethering to work was the adhoc setting, had to use a beta of Wifi Tether before my partners gingerbread pad would connect.
No problems with using Orange data connection, I've never touched the APN settings either.
On ICS with virtuous inquisition 4.0.1

I've just come across this threading after having the same issues.
I got mine to work a similar way to mikutzu but all I did was edit the current orange Internet and add the username to Orange and password as Multimedia (with capitals at beginning) and then add ,dun to the end of the apn type so in the end it reads default,hipri,dun
And then save. This worked for me straight away. Hope this helps!!

GPRS connection Problem

Hi All,
I'm using HTC Sensation XE past 4 months. For last 3 weeks I'm facing this issue pertaining to GPRS wherein the "E"sign remains but the ARROWS below that don't highlight, add NO data transfer takes place. This roughly happens after every 2 days.
Now I've tried both:
1. Disabling/Enabling MOBILE NETWORK
And
2. Disabling/Enabling FLIGHT MODE
After umpteen attempts with both still the GPRS doesn't start working. The only way it starts working is by REBOOTING the phone.
Is this my Carrier issue or problem with my Phone?
I'm really really annoyed with this problem and shall greatly appreciate all the help provided here.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda app-developers app

What is your carrier?
Anyway try manual settings for mobile networks for your carrier.
First switch off your mobile, remove the sim card and wait for 1 minute. Now re-insert the sim and power on your mobile.
Go to settings --> Mobile networks --> Access point names
Edit the access point with proper name, apn, proxy, port, username (generally blank), password (blank) and others.
Also check is APN enable or disabled.
NOTE: Change or edit all these settings by disabling the data traffic.
After making the changes, reboot your mobile.
If you still have the problem, contact your carrier's customer care. This could be problem from their side.

My carrier is AIRTEL and mine is a Corporate connection. Yes the APN table is preconfigured as always no changes in that. Also once I tired to rename it differently and then reverted the changes to check if GPRS worked but alas.
I'm just concerned if this problem is pertaining to my handset as I've tried all options and permutation & combinations to get GPRS working BUT rebooting only get that thing alive!

Hi All,
I've attached the screenshot of APN settings is which is correctly set. Also just now the GPRS went off with the E sign present and the arrows below it non highlighted (in grey color as in the screenshot).
I just restarted my phone which made my GPRS to come alive.
I'm seriously irritated and need help ASAP. Really disappointed to see no helps popping in.
