Hey guys, I have an Inspire that I have unlocked, rooted, flashed cm7, and run on Straight Talk (ATT sim) all has been working great. Yesterday I installed Tweaker trying to get 3g instead of H+ (data had been working fine, just not 3g like I wanted). The app disabled wifi and verified internet connection, it was still on H+ but it was working, but some time after that I noticed that my data icon was gone. I was out of range for wifi, I checked the settings and mobile network was checked, I usually leave it unchecked unless I need mobile data. I reset my apns back to default, double checked that they were correct. I popped the sim out and stuck it in a go phone I have lying around and it shows a 3g icon, so I dont think Straight Talk is behind it. I called them and the girl said everything looks like it should be working from her end. I restored the stock rom I had backed up before the cm7 flash, still no data. I did another wipe and reloaded my backup from cm7 (everything worked on that backup), still no data. thinking maybe I fried the radio I updated it and the ril. Still no data. I dont know what to do now, ANY IDEAS?
From what I've heard, straight talk dropped at&t so that could explain your problem

I have heard that since the new phone unlocking law, ATT is not offering any more sim cards for use with straight talk. ST's website does not mention anything about this, or data dropping out or a change to apn settings because of this. When I first put my ST sim in the phone, before I initially updated my apn settings, I still had a 3g icon on the top of the phone. As of now, I have no data icon on the phone, and the 'mobile data' is checked. Like I said, I put the sim in a different phone and the 3g icon shows up, so it is getting connectivity on that phone, but there is no data connectivity on my Inspire 4g. Even with incorrect apn settings, it would still show connectivity, even though it will no authenticate. I am at a total loss here. What could be the problem with this phone?
Drop your losses of having a 45 a month dollar prepaid at&t plan on straight talk and switch to straight talk T-Mobile but I'm sure all you will get is 2g/edge or you could do what I'm doing. Paying 65 a month on at&t go phone plan with unlimited calls,text and 1gb data plan...I have 3g/4g service

I started off with a tmobile sim from Straight talk, and the coverage SUCKED! And you are right, the data was trash as well. I tried my sim in 2 other phones over the weekend and the 3g icon showed on both. Tried someone else's att sim in my phone and the 3g icon still did not show. For some reason this phone's data modem has taken a dump, I guess, I dont know what the problem is. That's why I came here...
I have no idea what i could be..wish i had the answer for you but i don't...I've personally never heard of that ordeal but sometimes a phones hardware can be faulty after some use...plenty of new phones that come out with hardware problems

Not sure what the problem is, but I just ordered another Inspire off of ebay. Hopefully that will fix this issue for me. I'll post how it goes for me with the new phone.
Good luck, if your having problems with no device.. You know where to come to

Well I got my new phone in and its the same result, NO DATA. I guess I hit my limit with Straight Talk. I called yesterday and talked to a lady, who said I would have to call her back from a different phone, because we may get disconnected while troubleshooting the phone. I told her I didnt have another phone, and asked if she could just call me back if we got disconnected. She said no, that they cannot do that, so I hung up on her. She called me right back to tell me that we had got disconnected and that I need to call back from a different line, lol. So I hung up on her again. My plan renews the first of every month so I think I'll wait until Monday to see if ST turns the data back on.
I'm running the Att straight talk sim with no problems.... Straight talk is throttling the hell out of people in high populated areas that use over 100mb a day and or over 2gb a month but as far as I know they just cut it to dial up speeds not off completely. They pay for a capped amount of data on the Att network therefor if it's reached Att gives straight talk a call saying ur using more then was paid for resulting in throttling. In my small town in South Dakota we don't have that problem because there only like 3 people here that use the sim card and the purchased data for are area is well over what we use I don't use more then 3gb a month but a friend of mine has been getting away with 10+gb a month. I also have a friend in another state that got throttled and took him around 10 calls to get his sim reset.

Are you using JB or ICS? Changing the rils can break data. Also have you tried updating to another radio?

Can you browse and talk simultaneously with the myTouch 4G?
In strong 3G and 4G environments, I'm unable to browse the web and talk simultaneously on my MT4G.
This was never a problem on my G1 in 3G settings, oddly enough.
Should I be able to browse and talk at the same time on the MT4G when I have a good 3G or 4G connection?
Has anyone noticed this problem? Any fixes available?
I'm running Ice Glacier 1.1.6.
UPDATE: This dual use is working at the moment. Perhaps I've been in Edge networks or weak 3G for previous attempts.

ANY GSM phone connect to 3G+ connections should be able to talk on the phone and surf the web at the same time.
I have noticed the same issue... hmm was thinking it was a issue with my settings. May have to look into it.

I've personally had mixed results with this... sometimes (in E, 3G and H) i can talk and browse at the same time, sometimes no dice, but anytime I am using the stock Wi-Fi Hotspot all my calls come through and it never breaks my tether.
anyone have any update on this? I can't find anything to fix it.
I recently bumped an old thread from early dec abbot the same issue. It seems many ppl are having the same problem. I too am having mixed results. I will have 3g fine when not in a call, but once I'm in a call, data along with mms function gets killed. However, a few times I moved closer to a window and I would get the 3g icon back. So I can only chalk it up to reception. it seems being on a call somehow effects 3g reception. I don't have a technical explanation for that though.

I had this issue back in late 2009, using a G1 then. TMO was only giving the Orlando area about 800 kbps down, but voice + data should still work. My actual 3g icon would vanish as soon as I got on a call.
TMO opened a ticket to have a field tech check towers, but I never heard anything back.
A coupla weeks later, Orlando had an outage. I went into a TMO store to see what was up and to gripe about the outage. We were given two, free CliqXTs. Shhhh, I said they were GIVEN to us. (and I will stick with HTC devices from here on out.)
Well, same issue. We then put in the NEW SIM, as opposed to using the one I got with my G1 in 2008, voila! My fiancee had the same issue. Swapped her old SIM, voila!
So for me, it was an issue with how the old SIM worked on the network (or didn't work).
Nonetheless, on a GSM network, concurrent voice/data should be possible, so if it's not a matter of just poor coverage in your area, I would go to a TMO store and/or call customer care.

It works for me, even when I use it as a wifi hotspot at Starbucks (Because it's better than their free wifi . I'm able to call and txt and browse the net and receive calls while I am browsing on the laptop. It's very nice IMO
It's weird because it didn't work for me on the stock ROM but it works fine on CM7.
Sent from my DeLorean using a Flux Capacitor
Do you still have a backup of your stock ROM before you went to CM7? If it's "something inside the ROM," then it should be an easy test.
Since the hardware obviously didn't change, it almost sounds like a APN or Mobile Network settings issue. Can you compare your stock to CM7 and see if there's any difference?
Sometimes if you're on a voice call for a while, you'll drop down to 2G. When that happens, your ability to do simultaneous voice and data goes away. If you're mobile data indicator goes away while on a call then this is what's going on. You can verify under the the "Network" part of the "About Phone" screen.
You can mitigate this somewhat by setting your phone to 3G only mode but this can cause it's own set of issues. If your phone wants to move to 2G because of signal quality issues but can't because you have it set to 3G only mode, your call might end up dropping altogether.

So new sim cards solved your issues? Did your data speed/coverage improve at all?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
@Phate - In that particular incident, yes, the new SIM resolved my issue. I had the issue on my G1 and then TMO gave us two free CliqXTs to retain us. We used the same SIMs from our G1s and the issue persisted. I called back in to TMO and they recommended using the new SIMs, as they said they'd seen issues with certain "older" ones.
From that point on, we could browse and talk. Prior to that, you'd see the 3G icon vanish while you were on a call. As soon as you ended the call, the 3G icon would come back.
Our speed then was around 800 kbps down, which isn't blazing fast but it's definitely more than EDGE. Once we got the new SIMs, the speed was still at 800 kbps down in the general Downtown Orlando area (keep in mind, this is early 2010). Over the next few months, the speeds got better and better and then we ultimately ditched our CliqXTs when the Glacier became available.
So in my case, Phate, the SIM resolved our simultaneous voice/data - it did not increase our speed, not explicitly.
Hope this helps!

Nah, service hasn't been bad, was just curious if it would get better. Never followed up on it.
I tried everything I could think of then broke down and went to the store today. The guy restarted the phone insisting that would fix it. Even when I told him I do it all the time. Thats when he blamed it on the custom rom due to the boot animation I have on it. I reassured him that its still the same rom, so he wanted to wipe it. Told him I tried it and no go. I had already told him I just wanted a new sim and he refused to even look at it. So at this point I asked for the manager. First they I told the manager was I could not get data and voice at the same time and I wanted a new sim. He popped the sim card and said it was only a 3g sim (kinda odd cause its a sim from a wing and could get H.)
Long store short he gave me a new sim and it works fine. So make sure you don't let anyone know you have a rooted phone... the idiots like to think thats the reason for all the problems.
With all due respect I wouldn't even walk into a T-mobile store with a rooted phone.
At the bare minimum I would nandroid back to stock rooted rom before going in.

To all of you having problems with your data stalling out during use, try calling into T-Mobile and make sure they have your correct IMEI code for your device. I called in and updated the IMEI for sister HTC Sensation and the data did not cut out for the 20 minutes I ran the speedtest.net app. The majority of the time it would hang within 2 or 3 minutes of rebooting the phone. I will post back later in this thread for further feedback on if this fixes the problem.
If you call in and discover that you have the wrong IMEI code listed with T-Mobile for your device and you have been having this data issue, please reply back to this thread commenting on this possible "fix".
DEBUGGING GUIDE
1. Verify T-Mobile has your correct IMEI Number
2. Verify T-Mobile has the correct data plan for the Sensation
3. Verify your SIM card is a newer generation SIM for 3G/4G
After making these 3 changes, specifically number 1, data connection has been much more reliable.

If anyone else confirms this works, Ill try it. Im returning this phone so i cant call yet till i get a replacement.
I can confirm this worked for my Vibrant and my G2X. Some T-Mobile reps will say it doesn't matter but it seems like the ones that know what there talking about will say it does matter. With both my Vibrant and G2X, my data worked immediately fallowing a reboot after they added the IMEI to my account.
I switch between T-Mobile phones all the time and never have any data slow down issues. I switch between a MyTouch 4G and my Nexus One, both phones are rooted and both are getting over 5.5 mg download on average in the middle of the day. The MyTouch 4G goes up over 7 mb and the Nexus One usually peeks at about 6.5 mb. The upload speeds are very stable at about 1.6 mb. I never gave my IMEI # to T-Mobile. Just thought I would throw that out there.
I was told that they need to have the correct IMEI code to help them register the phone on the network. So far so good from here....

I think it depends on where you live, what towers your connecting to and what device your using. There is no other explanation as to why my last two devices worked flawlessly after giving them my IMEI#. It's definitely not a coincidence.
Those who want the true answer just keep calling T-Mobile tech support until you find someone who knows what there talking about. (You know what I mean)
My data seems to be working good now since I switch my smartphone data plan to android data plan. I cane from an hd2. Maybe some of the issue came from not having the right data plan.

I've never had any problem using any device with my T-Mobile SIM and data. The T-Mobile system still shows me as having a MyTouch 3g. I've used an HD2, G2, and the Sensation without updating any IMEI information with T-Mobile. Always got great HSDPA/HSPA speeds. This is also using my old $25 MyTouch 3g plan. The data plan shouldn't matter with device or speeds. It might only matter with soft capping. My plan has NO cap.
Just my two cents. Zero connectivity issues with my Sensation and not updating the IMEI.
I contacted T-Mobile and had them verify my IMEI and SIM card numbers were correct. Things ran great for about 10 minutes, and just before I was ready to proclaim the issue fixed...it's back.
This didn't resolve the issue for me, but it doesn't hurt to make sure everything in their system is correct anyway.
im having data issues.. haven't tried the IMEI supposed fix but i also have a sim card thats over 7 years old.. could that really be an issue??
edit: called tmobile.. they checked my imei.. it was correct.. they then told me to get a new sim card just in case because my sim is reallllllly old.. the tech then disconnected my phone from the tower and i left it off with the battery out for about 15 min while i showered.. put it together and turned it on getting 10 consecutive speedtest runs without problems.. hopefully it works.. i will be getting a new sim card too just in case..
they also said chicago was working on their towers for the past 2 days but everything is up and running today.

It could fix it, but at the same time it could not. Its a free fix since your Sensation came with a SIM card, so why not? All it takes is a call to T-Mobile and 10 minutes of your time. Might as well minimize your point of failures.

I had terrible issues with my "4G" hanging. It would fail nearly every time. My sim was from 2008. I grabbed the new sim that came with the sensation and headed to a T-mobile store. They switched over my number to the new sim and for the last 3 hours I haven't had the hang happen once.
Hopefully it fixed the issue!
Edit: issue is back. New sim did not fix the problem!
I just called Tmobile- sure enough there is a specific data plan for the MT4G, and they've switched mine to the Android plan.
They also said that having the Sensation, and being on the MT4G data plan, would cause problems.
Hope this helps......
My sister said in the past 20 hours, data has been significantly more reliable. She said she had minor sluggishness, but I can attribute that to network slowdown in our area. Happens to my sgs too.

I have 1 week left of buyer remorse I might have to return this device.
I got to play with my sisters HTC earlier this even, although the data does not completely cut out, its gets very slow network speeds at times. I used the speedtest.net app and it was getting 2G speeds with a 4G icon. Looks like this phone might be going back to the store soon.

I am in Houston, Zip code 77057
I need some help regarding data speed on my Sensation. I only get about 85 kbps download at my home. I have all 4 Bars and 4G logo all the time. But somehow I never get above 85 kbps. I have try all possible fix I could found on XDA (Thanks XDA) , like removing Plastic case I am using toggling ciphering, which seems to help lot of people here , but no go for me .
I have been in contact with TMO from last 3 days regarding this. i used my land line to call TMO so we can troubleshoot the issue on Sensation. Very first time I called TMO , She have me remove the battery and SIM card form the phone. At the same time she setup something in her system and asked me to put SIM, battery back and turn on the phone. When I turn on the phone again, I got amazing 3Mbps speed (at Home). I thought speed problem got resolved. But next morning it went back to 85 kbps.
I called 2nd time yesterday, this time I was on the phone for like 45 min, first she checked my data plan(I have unlimited data), the we checked on SIM card (I am using New SIM came with the Phone) but nothing worked. The she wrote a ticket for technician to go and check tower. She promised to call me next day. I also told her that previous Rep did something in TMO system which got me 3 Mbps speed. she told me that Previous rep must have fixed my Phone to a single Tower and when i left the area Phone lost the connection and picked up the nearest tower to my home. (useless solution)
Today I did not see any speed improvement, When TMO rep called I told her no Improvement and I am still on same Slow 85kbps (with 4 bars and 4G). she will have technician go one more time tomorrow and have technician call me directly.
This is so frustrating, I am tired of this thing. I like the sensation but lousy data speed is spoiling the fun. I am seriously considering leaving TMO.
Any thoughts ??

Have you tried selecting wcdma only? I am not sure if that will work or not but worth a shot. It kinda sounds like the network has your account/phone throttled as that is right around the speeds I get when I am. Keep calling tmobile, I know its a pain in the a$$ but it sounds like a problem on thier side. When I had a problem last week (no 4g service at all in my house) they tried to tell me I was not in a 4g area. I had to call back to get a different rep because the previous one just wasn't listening to what I was saying. They ended up having the completely wrong address that had them looking at towers 5 hrs away from me.

I have the same problem here in Stockton Ca. The rep at tmo never got back to me after 1 week so i called back. Rep oppened another ticket and promised to get back to me within a couple of days... No call after 1 week. When I called the third time complaining they said they didn't call me back because the slow data was a software issue and had nothing to do with T-Mobile, so I should wait for an update from HTC. Then after mentioning I was thinking of switching to Verizon they switched me over to customer loyalty, who immediately offered to cancel my account for me. Where is this great customer service I hear about?

I purchased my Infuse from Wal-mart and slapped in my sim card from an iPhone. Now I'm having data problems, both wi-fi and cellular, that I didn't have before. For seemingly no reason at all, my phone will not connect to anything on the internet. I'll check my laptop and tablet (Xoom) and they seem to be connecting fine. I have bars on the phone, etc. Sometimes turning off wireless and turning it back on will fix the problem for a while. I'm using a Linksys WRT400N and have confirmed that the firmware is up to date on it, and like I said my other devices are fine. Anyone else having this problem? Also, can't the phone be setup to switch to cellular data if wi-fi isn't working and vice-versa?
Call AT&T from a different they need info from your phone
Big dog Infuse I997 GB KJ2
Do you have a particular reason for saying that? I don't think AT&T is going to troubleshoot my home wireless connection with me.
I think what they meant was iPhone data plan and Android data plans are different. You have to call AT&T to switch the data plans. At least that has always been my experience. When I went from blackberry to Android I had to call to switch the plan.

I thought so too, but I asked when I got the Infuse and the guy said nope and proceeded to pop in my old sim card.
I'm a bit more concerned with my wireless keeps dropping (although cellular does it too). Any known issues with the Infuse radio and wireless N or Linksys routers? Google isn't turning up much for me.
ATT told me it requires a 4g SIM, said it wouldn't work right without it.

I was told the same thing. they deactivated my old Sim card and dropped in a new one. Bit weird if you ask me but sort of makes sense.
This coming from a guy who's last upgrade was TO a razr.

I have had internet connectivity issues that get cleared up immediatley after i disable mobile data and then re-enable.
It happens when i am in a solid 4g area sitting in the same place surfing the web and my data will just die. and it comes back right up after i disable and re-enable my mobile data.
it also happens when im on the bus going back and forth between 3g and 4g.
is this a normal droid charge issue?
seems like it craps out after about 10 min of surfing every time i remember it happening.
i had this happen when i was stock, after i rooted stock, and now on tweek 2.0
Had that issue yesterday on 4G, and it cleared up the same evening. Occasionally will lose data connectivity on 4G, even with it's still showing the connection. It's not very frequent or consistent, and it seems to have gotten better over time. There is definitely some flakiness on the radios on the Charge. A friend was sitting right next to me on his Spectrum yesterday and wasn't having any issues. I think it's likely related to Verizon network, but I think some phones are more sensitive to it than others.
Yeah, happens to me too. I had to disable/re-enable data at least twice today. :/

This happened to me the first couple of days I had the phone. I went to Verizon and they swapped the SIM. Worked fine after then.

hmm.. i did have a few sim issues when i got the phone a week ago, after loading a rom the phone said there was no sim inserted or there was a sim error cant remember which.
maybe swap the sim tomorrow to see if that helps.
sounds like it might be a charge radio issue... i am getting what ever killer phone comes out in a few months anyway. Galaxy s3? HTC one X ? Galaxy Journal ?
Motorola hd ?
re
So i got a new sim..
Nothing has changed.
I have netflix and live in a great 4g area and still have to toggle off data 2-3 times a morning on my bus trip into seattle.
It seems like the radio has a hard time figuring out wtf to do once it comes in and out of 4g. I can be sitting at in traffic for 5 min with no signal and flipping the data on and then off... BAM 4g is back.
This makes for annoying netflix / IT Crowd, viewing.
I am glad that i got this phone as a temp solution cheap from craigslist. Motorola Droid fighter or Galaxy S3 will be putting this lump of mediocre electronics to rest in the next month or so.
What radio is installed on your phone? To find this out go to settings/about phone. The baseband version would be your radio. If it says i510.06V.FP1, that means you are on the most up to date radio. I had similar issues before I updated to FP1 but since then, the 3 or 4G has been very quick to connect and stays reliable all day.
One of my buds works for Vzw and he told me that the 4g network is great when it works. In some places vzw is activating 4g network before the network is ready to be deployed. They are doing this because competition has more 4g coverage.
One solution is to set your phone to 3g only and accept reliable slow sppeds or deal with crappy 4g. Eventually vzw will get it right. Wjen though, is anybody's guess.
