The data problems are on 2.3.4 and 2.3.5

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 manually adding the APN's for your carrier.

I do, I stated that in my post. Its not APN related at all.

99% it`s sim card related, get a new sim and try again

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.

Can you recommended an app like that?

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.

I really wish a dev would figure this out I'd live to use CM7 on this phone.

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.

Data speed icon?? Gone?? Invalid Sim sometimes??

Okay I have been having the t-mobile "invalid sim card" issue and the phone currently is running with the t-mobile carrier logo. I was able to make calls, and connect via WiFi. I am not able to access the web2go page when I select data in the "wireless & network settings" page with a check. I used to be able to at least access this page with wifi turned off and it would show a little 4g icon on the top? I will post some screenshots. I downloaded GeRIL just to see what it said? I think my phone is rooted? I ran superuser and said the phone was not but the last action I did before getting the t-mobile to show up was a zip restore with CWM so I assume it's rooted? Might be just a flash? One other thing is that I have the WiFi and GPS on and it does not appear to get my location for weather in the weather app?? I can open Google maps and GPS is within 60 meters of my location. I want to reboot the phone but am afraid it won't be back to normal and I will get the error "Invalid Sim Card" again? Is there anything or tests to run while the phone is on the t-mobile network I should check first before rebooting? Or files I should try to use or flash? Or any service menu codes to run diagnostics? Thanks in advance. I forgot to mention that I will be getting a replacement from t-mobile in a week, I did the online chat and they said they will send a replacement under warranty. The box has a date of 7/29/2011 so the phone is about 3-4 months old? The phone is unlocked and has been rooted before, but the issue happened days before I modded this G2x. Basically, today it could connect and tomorrow it might not...or If I reboot It usually goes to the "Invalid Sim Card" I have read other posts with issues of the same type from other users but found no solutions?? Baseband, RIL, Sim ect...all points to a bad phone(using t-mobile) because If I use any other carrier card in the phone it works without errors. That makes me think it's a firmware with t-mobile issue but I could be wrong? Hopefully if the replacement goes thru the same ICS 4.0 will be out and make this phone a beast again?

This might work or it might not: rename your APN manually (Settings/Wireless/Mobile networks/Access Point Names/edit) you can either edit or restore to default to restore mobile data connectivity. Try restoring to default.

I just accidentally hit Airplane mode and it killed it!!! Now it's back to the Invalid Sim Card error again...bummer!!!!

Wait a minute...I waited and read a few posts and clicked the Airplane mode off and on again and it came back to the t-mobile carrier..??? I still have not rebooted the phone though? Hmmm...should I?

Did you get a new sim card when you got the phone? I remember when I got this phone they told me not to use my 5 year old sim card from my previous phone. I say try a new sim card, if that doesn't work try to reset the apn with the instructions I posted last, and if that doesn't work it might just be a bad sim card reader.

I think more on the lines of a bad sim card reader...I have a new sim card...about a 3 days old, got it from t-mobile cause i had the older sim with the larger gold contact patch. The phone is already on order...they said 7 business days..

Same issues here

Yes some times that will work. Other times might take 2 reboots. Also sometimes toggleing airplane mode can bring back apn. After a few sim cards and all my problem went away. When I had the issue I was cm7 rom. Stock Rome didn't really seam to have this issue.

just to close this thread I already received my replacement phone from tmobile. I am no longer trying to track down the issue. Thanks for all of the replied and comments. every one who contributed will get a thanks from me.

Yes doing a hard reboot will reset the Apn/data loss problem. (Also toggling airplane mode would some times reset it.) This is only a tempory solution as it could happen again. On cm7 rc1 it would happen to me at least once a day. As well as many others. Off of the top of my head it was something wrong in a radio file.(? Not sure what file) shortly after the release cm7 stable 7.1.0.1 was posted. I believe that had the patch for the data loss issue. It is possible that some cm7 based Rome may still have a data issue loss as they might not have the updated patch. At the time stock based Roms did not have the issue and as far as know. Some people faced with this issue could have had a faulty sim or phone. The other thing that was happening during the life of this issue was how many people running cm7 based roms didn't have the issue. I no longer have this issue. I followed the bug report that was submitted and sealed out the sim card twice. (I think it was cm7 issue on my device) OP- I hope that this swap works for you. If it don't, I will be more that happy to help. also thank you for your service.
I have posted what I know and can remember here in hopes that it can help some one else out in the future.

When I had the phone I installed CM7, and the daily's...ect..It WAS a phone issue (hardware) I now have had the replacement phone for 1 week and no issues what so ever. That's not to say that the issue will arise again? I have rooted and am running no ROMs at the time but am thinking of going back to the FROYO 2.2 just to get the camera like it was in the older version. I hate the camera in GB 2.3.3. No zoom....c'mon LG..where did you guys lay down to sleep during this process if the development? One other feature that has nothing to do with the camera that I would like to see happen is to be able to enable a bluetooth mouse. I tried my Targus mouse and no luck. I think you can use a bluetooth keyboard but have none to test. I was thinking of shelling out the 160 smackers for the infared keyboard..small and can fit in your shirt pocket, and it's bluetooth.

Cannot Connect to AT&T Network (Neither Voice Nor Data)

For some reason I cannot connect to AT&T's network for voice/data. I had been running MIUI for about 3 months and all was good. I came back from a trip Thursday and the phone wouldn't find a network after turning off airplane mode, but rebooting seemed to fix it. However, today I cannot get it to connect at all.
I have tried:
Wiping cache/davlik cache
Fixing permissions
Tried searching for a network operator through settings->mobile network->network operators, got nothing
Wiping user data and switching to ZEUS Build 6
Tried searching for a network operator again
Went back to 100% stock with GTG's Ultimate Unbrick
Still nothing for network operator under "Available networks" (Default setup is greyed out)
I'm going to guess either my SIM or 3G chip burned out? I was using the phone heavily the past few days with a ton of GPS stuff to get around Atlanta and it did get pretty hot on the car dash. I'll try taking it to an AT&T store tomorrow (ugh) but am open to any suggestions before I do so .

There are a few options I would consider:
1. Go to the apn and set up a new apn and save it. Select it and then reboot. There are a few floating around. Check my how to thread in the q/a. I posted one there. Make sure you create one and then save it.
2. Try flashing a different modem.
3. Take out the external micro sd. Back up your stuff from the internal sdcard. Factory reset from in the ROM. Warning: a factory reset from within the ROM will erase EVERYTHING, including pictures. Make sure you save everything first. Reboot. And if that doesn't work, odin with a re partition pit file or use one of the heimdall 1-click and then do a reset again.
4. Possibly remove the Sim and clean it. I've heard the Sim socket is very fragile and breaks easily. Use caution. You can always have the att guys do it and let them break it.

he said he did try flashing another rom and odining back to stock. if that doesnt work, nothing will. hopefully you still have a warranty.

Already restored to stock (and again from within the stock rom)... Forgot about my pictures :crying:
Tried I997UCKL2 and I997UCLB3 modems, with and without custom APNs.
Tried cleaning the SIM
Funnily enough I do get service bars (4/5) after the phone has been on for about a minute, but no HSPA+ icon and still can't make calls/MMS/internet (calls are about 5s of silence followed by an abbreviated dialing tone, then "Call Ended"). Yup, I think it's borked... Guess it's time for an S3! Thanks for the help though.

Sorry to hear about your pictures. I tried to warn you.
The last thing i can think of is to leave your battery out overnight. And then put it back tomorrow.
It sounds like it's hardware related though.
(Different ROM like miui and zeus have their own custom build.prop ril settings and apn. These potentially can mess with your phone connection if the partition messes up.
I wanted to make sure it was not a partition screw up. A double flash in heimdall uckj4 or uclb3 with boot loader checked or one of the Odin un-brick using a pit file would have clear this. Sounded like you did this already. Another user have reported clearing their efs in odin. I would only try this if you have backed up your efs position, either in root explorer or zen tool kit.)
Again, sounds like hw...

Well when I transferred my sim to my old dumb phone I left my Infuse off (about 3 hours). I just tried it again for kicks and miraculously it works perfectly now! Now I get to reinstall everything again (yay...), but I'm wondering if my sim slot is on its way out or something... Not sure why it would suddenly start working again.
Oh well, time to try out Zeus (MIUI was a little too buggy for me).
Thanks again all... hopefully it doesn't die on me again!

Good to hear.
If it starts to act wonky again, try a different battery. It is possible the heat you described may have damage the lithium cell. Idk..
Ebay has them for about $4 free shipping. Look for a usa shipper...2-4 days

For some reason this happens to me sometimes. I'm unsure myself. What I do to fix it is turn data on and off and then reboot. I do that a few times and then it starts working.

So after three different roms, several factory wipes, and all sorts of voodoo magic, it was a bad sim card.
Shame... I kinda wanted an S3 .

Data blinks in and out on AOSP only since getting new SIM

5/19/2013 Update: The bug might be dead! Like for real this time. See this post, post number 14 in this thread with an explanation of what to do.
10/25/2012 Update: TRY THE LATEST BUILDS OF BRUCE'S CM10 STARTING WITH THE 10/25 VERSION!
Bruce has made a change that helps differentiate between the regular data stream and the MMS data stream in an attempt to see if that was what was causing the instability issue. This is only on Bruce's CM10 Kang as of 10/25. If you are only another CM ROM, flash Bruce's (even if just for a minute or two) and see if the data bug goes away. Please report back if it did!
If this does cure it, I'm sure Bruce will share the sollution to all other devs and your favorite other AOSP ROm will have the cure shortly.
Updated 10/24/2012
This is a detailed description of the 6 million or so things that various people have attempted to do in order to rectify the blinking data connection problem plaguing T Mobile USA users on AOSP ROMs for the Sensation. This issue is non existant in Sense based ROMs.
The problem has something to do with how the Sensation authenticates itself with the T Mobile Data Network. It's not based on the cell towers as voice calling is unaffected. The theory is that the AOSP framework lacks the proper authentication certificates for part of the data network and when the phone is routed to that part of the network, it gets kicked off teh network, then continually retries to connect.
This was and issue on the Sense Gingerbread Stock ROM in 2011 but T Mobile and HTC patched it. All Sense ROMs are free from this bug. But no one knows what exactly the patch was so AOSP ROM's have not been able to be cured yet.
Short version....
Problem started for me on Bruce's CM10 rom. But it's reported on all CM10 variants and most CM9 ROM's as well.
One day I noticed that data wasn't connecting well. It would blink on and off. Sometimes it would stay on, but if I turn it off then right back on, it might go back to blinking.
The problem exists on all AOSP roms (AOKP, CM9, all versions of CM10) even after full wipes and restores of known working nandroids.
Cell signal for voice calls works perfectly. No problems whatsoever. So the phone is connecting to T Mobile. It just won't get data.
Long version....
To fix this I've tried the following...and how each does or doesn't work.
Switch to 2G networks only and switch back. Problem remains, and still blinks E on the EDGE networks rather than being solid on them.
Updated the radio. Problem remains.
Updated the entire firmware package. Problem remains.
Superwipe and flashed Sense, verify data works well. Then regular wipe and flash a fresh install of CM10. Problem remains.
Flashed clean version of CM10 and fixed permissions. Problem remains.
Made calls from the phone. Some people have reported that this helps temporarily.
Sent myself a text message. Some people have reported that this helps temporaliy.
Turn on airplane mode for a minute then go back to normal. Some people have reported that this helps temporarily.
It's not related to Wifi at all because I've created the error on fresh installs of CM10 before ever turning Wifi on.
Formatted SD card. Problem remains (and just to be sure I got the error while the blank formatted SD was removed from the device)
Checked the APN's 100 times. They are correct.
Spent an hour on the phone with T Mobile. Their tech said everything looked good on their end. He cleared the SIM and reactivated it. Problem remained.
Other people have gotten new SIM cards and found that while they helped right away, the problem eventually came back.
The only things that have shown any help to multiple users are in bold above. There are various reports of 100 other 'fixes' that people swear fixed the problem for them. But all of them involved the phone disconnecting from the network and reconnecting. That appears to be the key to get data working again temporarily. Making calls and sending yourself text messages also forces authentication on the T Mobile network without breaking the original connection.
If you want more details or want to review the logs to see if you can figure it out, logcats of the problem are located in this post! Click here for logcatty goodness!

Here is the real kicker....
Everyone once in a while...it connects. And once it's connected it'll stay connected until I turn the connection off or reboot the phone. Then it'll go back to blinking in and out when I try to turn it back on.

Just another note, the data is finicky on my old LG G2x also on TMobile with AOSP based ROMs, talk works, but cell data won't come back after going into airplane mode and out, until a reboot. It works fine on official TMobile ROMs. I suspect there may be some proprietary cell data negotiation between handset and Tmobile towers that AOSP code doesn't have.

Okay here's an update on this for anyone who finds this thread through a search or Google or something....I'll try to describe this using the simplest terms possible so those of us who aren't cell tower engineers can understand it. (And I assume that's most of us, including me!)
The latest running theory is that the issue occurs due to the way the phone is handed off from 1 tower to another.
As you move your phone is handed off from one tower to the next. You get unregistered with tower 1 and reregistered with tower 2. That's normal.
However if you are within range of 2 towers you can't be on both. You have to be registered with 1, and that's supposed to be the stronger one. But AOSP ROMs lack a T Mobile certificate that authenticates which tower is supposed to have priority. So when the data is blinking you are getting bounced between 2 towers because the phone is trying to register with both.
The latest version of Bruce's CM10 ROM (Dated 10/10/12 and with TMOUS DATA in the rom name on the download page) supposedly includes patches that fix how this authentication works. And I only say 'supposedly' because the patches have only been up for about 12 hours so the jury is still out on how well it works. Personally I've been on it all day today and haven't had the data issue yet. But it can be days in between seeing it. So it'll take a while to know for sure that it's fixed.
If this turns out not to be the exact cause of the problem, it's something similar and a final sollution should be found soon.
Update: This have never been substantiated, and several users with the bug have reported knowing for a fact that they experience the problem when in range of only 1 tower.

Hi,
I have noticed with JB ROMS that you get 7 or 8 APN's,most of which do not apply to me.
Have you tried (making a note of your one first) and deleting all the APN's
Reboot,and just install yours.

That's one of the 1000 things that's been tried, to no effect. If he APN is set to the correct one the extra APN's are ignored.
Nothing that you do within the phone can cure the problem. At most, forcing the phone to re-register with the tower is the only thing that can help, and that will be temporary if it works at all.
The best bet now is to hope that Bruce fixed it with his latest additions to CM10 now that we understand what the actual problem is (or at least that we think we do)

Update....
T Mobile data is still broken. It has not been fixed yet. The latest theory may just be one more in a long line of theories that turned out to be wrong.
There are days when I really hate this phone.

Thanks for the update. I've been monitoring that thread occasionally, but it has way too much traffic for me to keep up. I was close to switching to it, but I need good battery life and reliable cell service over any smoothness benefits of JB, which is why I'm sticking with HyperNonSense ICS for now.

been experiencing this issue for a couple months myself. currently stuck in a no data bout as we speak. i'm wondering if it has anything to do with the amount of data we've used. i noticed this last bout started right around the time i passed 5gb. should also be noted i'm on the unlimited 4g plan and tether like crazy. i guess i'll know if the problem persists until my next billing cycle. for now i'm stuck with a sense nandroid and crack flashing aosp daily to see if it's fixed.

I have tried the SIM swap fix. And that has apparently worked. I've been using in good for about the last 6ish hours without any problems. :good:
So i'd give that a shot if your willing.

I've been using CM10 KANG since it was available for HTC sensation. Never had the data blink issue. Recently, my phone started to have this issue. Data would simply not connect with CM10 or CM10.1 with any radio/firmware combination. I also noticed that when I travel to work, i get data say after 10 miles away from my home and it continues to work after coming back home. However, after restarting the phone, i hit the blink problem again. Wondering if its because of some cell tower maintenance/upgrade near my area.

So I was on bruce's ROM until a week ago and this never happened while on his ROM. Just upgraded to albinoman's ROM and this started happening. I have to send myself a MMS picture to get it back again. Hope this helps

Fix
Ive had this problem on and the only thing that seems to help is flashing a new ROM but then a few weeks later it returns... I realized that this only happens when I try to send an MMS message or attempt to receive them. I don't know how to stop receiving an MMS but just delete the picture message you're trying to send and your data should stop blinking on and off. Can't guarantee it'll work for you but it worked for me! GL!!

It appears as though this stupid annoying silly obnoxious bug has finally been squished, sprayed with 3 cans of Raid, and its' mangled corpse then burned to a crisp...I hope.
3 weeks ago W1ldFl0wer brought this fix to Albinoman's attention...
In the build.prop under phone>system was the following line....
ro.telephony.ril.v3=datacallapn,signalstrength
This line appeared like this on all AOSP roms for the sensation.
The fix was to add skipbrokendatacall to the line so it looked like this....
ro.telephony.ril.v3=datacallapn,signalstrength,skipbrokendatacall
Save the file, reboot, and data should spine right up and work fine. So far the peopl ewho have run into the data bug have implimented this change and BOOM, data fixed.
So if you use any AOSP ROM 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2 other than Albino's CM10.1 Kang just add skipbrokendatacall to that line and see if it fixes it. Only do this if you on in the US on T Mobile's network. If you are in parts of Europre making this change will screw up your data.
If you are using Albinoman's CM10.1 Kang ROM, he has already included this line in the build.prop for you. You just have to activate it. About 30 lines into the build.prop is the new line that reads...
#ro.telephony.ril.v3=datacallapn,signalstrength,skipbrokendatacall
Just delete the # in front of that line. (The # makes the ROM skip the line when loading everything, but lets it stay in the file so you can read it. Deleting the # means that the phone will read that line when it reboots.) Then go up to the line that says the same thing without skipbrokendatacall and delete that line entirely. Save the file and reboot. If you don't delete the original line without skipbrokendatacall, your phone will go haywire, data might not work at all, and you might inadvertantly trigger Z Day. So if you're not ready to fight in the zombie apocolypse, only leave one of those lines in the build.prop.
Hope this cures it for everyone! Again, don't make this change if you live outside the USA or are not on T Mobile's network! Doing so on other networks in other parts of the world could make things worse for your phone!
Here is the link to the post where W1ldFl0wer informed Albinoman of this fix.

I don't think W1ldFl0wer invented the fix, but he certainly is the one who made it public to Sensation users so go to that post and thank him/her bcause I might finally be able to stop obsessing over this stupid bug because of this user!!! :good:

Issues with my skyrocket (used)

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

Hope the power doesn't go out when you try Odin or you're going to have a bigger problem.

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.

Odin stock jb and if it still doesn't work, beat the refund out of your friend.

i didnt know since nothing in the op said anything about a jb radios, they were all gb

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
