Ok at random times, my phone will be showing full service...all 5 bars...or sometimes even just 3 bars....but showing it has service. Yet I have no internet and cant make phone calls or receive phone calls.
If I reboot the phone or turn airplane mode on and back off...everything will start working again....but this only last for a little while.....
I first noticed it after trying out LeedDroid, so I restored cleardroid and the problem was still there, I've since switched to the Ace Inspire rom by gtg....and tried using both the 26.06.06.30 radio and the 26.09.04.11 radio and there matching RIL. Same problem on both. When its working data speeds are great...best I've seen....but the problem is, its not always working.
EDIT: So I ended up formatting my SD card and starting all over with attn1's rooted stock rom, then flashed ClearDroids rom and so far so good, no problems.....my data speeds are back down to about 2.5, and I'm definitely missing the 4 to 5 I was seeing on some of the GB roms...
A little scared to flash anything else, so does anyone have any ideas on what might have happened, or had any experience with there phone not connecting even though it says there is service?
Any thoughts????
Did you do a full erase, wipe cache, dalvik prior to flashing the ROM?
My guess would be something to do w/ the latter radio flashing. I lost good data speeds due to radio flashing and had to rerun the hack kit on.the rom I was usin to get them back.
Try.flashing just.the rom you want without the ril and see what happens. If I flash the ril, it breaks GPS on mine.

Yeah I always do a full erase, cache and dalvik before all my roms, I dont have that much stuff on my phone in the first place, so I dont mind starting from scratch each time.

Thats good to know....maybe the RIL flashing is what did it...its just odd that when I restored my nandroid back up of ClearDroid...the problem was still there, even tried flashing the Radio 3 times in row.... one minute I would be getting 4mb down and 1.8 up....then 2 minutes later...no data, no phone calls...yet full 5 bars of service....then if I waited longer...it might start working again...and so on.

Similar issue here on a STOCK rom. Looking at H+ with 3 bars and while the phone app works, I have absolutely no internet access.

There us something going on with flashing some of the desire hd roms and then the inspire roms. I lost gps under leedroid and after restoring a backup some thing stayed and was still causing the issues, it continued after flashing numerous roms. I had to redo the hack kit and start from scratch to fix it. I bet that you are having something of that sort going on. I was scared to flash anything after I got it set up but now I stick to either aosp builds or roms by US devs and haven't had any issues. Also on a side note, I have heard some people saying that gps on the inspire only works with a clear view if the sky, and mine will lock inside to 10 m in under 15 seconds. I think you just need the right rom.

After flashing hellfire ICS I wasnt able to recieve any texts. I then flashed Hellfire cm7 and still same issue, also tried eaglesblood. I then tried getril, it wasnt matching but updating it didnt do anything. Now I just flashed 2.3.3 and text is working but I have no data. With every flash I wiped everything and used g2x scrubber. Also I tried using different APN...What can I do to fix this?
So, you reverted to a non 4.0.3 rom and the issue still persist, like a GB 2.3.7 rom?

yea
Yea, last night I flashed a eaglesblood over 2.3.3, this time manualy wiping and not using scrubber..and it worked, I was able to use data and recieve texts. But now it just stopped working and I am unable to recieve texts again. I have fixed permissions, cleared caches, and tried all the RIL in getril. Why would it randomly stop working??? this is so annoying
..BTW i restored only a few apps with titanium and did not restore any of the data, just apps.

Maybe try flashing a new baseband and then going into your apn list and restoring default apns.
Could possibly be a sim card problem or sim card reader hardware issue... dont wanna jump to the worst possible scenario tho..
I have the jul 15 baseband, isnt that the latest? Idk if it would be hardware since everything was good before I flashed ics .
When you flash, are you wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, and system before flashing?
Yea, I wipe data,cache, dalvik, then format system, then flash rom which is on root of sd card.
Is there anything else I can delete/format when installing a rom? What data is being retained that I have this issue with every rom?
update: Just flashed bionix 2.3.3 rom with stock kernel and everything is working, its like it works only when it wants to..ill try a cm7 rom again later.
you aren't the first to report the same exact thing... I'm waiting for jboxer or another dev to say something... it might have something to do with T-Mobile or your SIM... have you tried entering your number manually... have you tried without data connected or on wifi?
Didn't hear the mention of g2x scrubber always a good thing...

Something I would do would be to...
Download Rom/Gapps
Unzip to make sure it's complete and uncorrupted DL
CWM Recovery
Wipe Data/Cache/System/Davlik/BattStats
G2xScrubber (In case)
Install Rom
Install Gapps
Wipe Cache/Davlik/BattStats
Fix Permissions
Boot let it sit quick..
Hard Reboot (Power + Volume Up)
Edit: For some ICS Roms sometimes you have to enable data or toggle it on/off for it to work.

Trying to help a friend who lost his IMEI (showed as 0), I restored it with the QPST method successfully. All the numbers are there and the IMEI is correct, but it still doesn't have data. I tried calling the number in the older efs backup thread to reprovision, and it didn't seem to do anything, but while I was messing around with it the icon popped up and I had one bar of 4G, but it disappeared after a few seconds. I'm out of ideas and I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!

If on stock (root66 sounds) dial: *2767*3855#
Back up anything you may want on the internal storage before doing so. Should fix it if it's fixable.
This ^^^^.
I had lost mine also and followed the same instructions, got it all back, but no data return. You need to reprovision your phone by following the key sequence. I think you need to be stock to do it too (could be wrong). After doing that, all my stuff returned to 100% fully functional.
You definitely need to be on stock for it, though? What's it do specifically? I never outright lost my IMEI, but I did have a problem where data would intermittently cut out and it didn't display a phone number in the system info.
After a wipe and install it seemed to be okay, but now I'm without data. Phone number and all the other numbers are there, though. If I dialed that on CM10, what could I expect?

I already tried that, it didn't work. I just tried it again and it still didn't work, but I left it locked for a while and when I unlocked it, the 4G icon was there for a few seconds, and then went back to no signal and it hasn't come back.

Hmm if that doesn't work I'm not sure what else there is. Maybe a new SIM or phone, all I can think of
a new sim is needed, or you just have a data-bricked phone if that wont work... sorry bud
I'm not sure what it's doing, but I don't think it's unrecoverable. If I leave it for a while, when I unlock it I'll have a bit of 4G signal, then it disappears after a few seconds. I was able to use the browser while it had signal, but when I try to make a call it says "Mobile network unavailable." I did receive a few texts, I'll test sending them. Under Settings>About device>Status, all the numbers are there and everything looks normal except these:
Network - Searching for Service
Mobile network type - Unknown:0
Service state - Out of service
Mobile network state - Disconnected
Thanks for the help so far.

On mine, I restored to the Nandroid backup I made of the stock rom before switching and dialed the number mentioned before. That brought it back to out-of-the-box stock. Set it up, tested data, rooted, unlocked bootloader, installed CM10, tested data, restored apps, tested data, made another Nandroid backup, restored system apps and preferences, and everything's fine now.
My problem was really similar to that one, too. It started when the phone wasn't coming on when I pressed the home or power buttons, and after a battery pull it showed the phone number as "Unknown." A wipe and reinstall of CM10 showed all the correct numbers in the right places and seemed to fix it all, but data was back out in time. That was how it was every time I reinstalled that way; it'd work for a bit, then stop until I reinstalled again. Restoring my IMEI backup as a "just in case" hadn't helped either. Getting everything right again was arduous, but worth it.
Alright my dad has got a similar problem. He lost his IMEI before, we managed to get it restored and data working and all that good stuff. Well today he had to fly to Denver and put the phone into airplane mode, well when he came out of airplane mode it was stuck on roaming mode, and network is "Unknown" his IMEI, phone number, and all those numbers are correct but hes still stuck in roaming. We tried pulling the sim card, and going back to a root66 backup and then reprovisioning the phone. Any other ideas? Should he go back to complete 100% unrooted stock and then reprovision? Any help would be great
I've had the problem come back for me, so disregard my earlier post. I'm back on stock now with no data issues so far, so I'm going to sit on that for a bit to see if the problem is definitely with CM. It's been gradual every time I've fixed it; last time I lost LTE before 3G.

Restored a Nandroid. LTE isn't working though, so I may dial *2767*3855# to go back to full stock and see if that fixes it. Currently 3G is still okay.
A question...
Those losing their IMEI numbers... Is this happening on the locked bootloader? Unlocked bootloader? Both?
I've been digging through the forums trying to ferret out a pattern, but it's not presenting itself to me. Maybe someone else has seen the pattern?
I have recently had this problem start happening to my phone out of nowhere. I am with T-Mobile, have an HTC Sensation and am currently running Paranoid Android. When I realized I couldn't get data to come back on I tried to revert to a back up that worked perfectly. After restoring the backup the problem still persists. When I do a factory data reset and fresh ROM install the data works fine until I connect to Wi-Fi. When I turn Wi-Fi back off the little H above the cell signal bars will blink every 5 seconds but never fully establish a connection. This is happening no matter what settings and no matter what rom I run. I am completely stumped at this point. Can anyone please help me out? I would provide a log cat but not sure if its possible with a mac? Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with useful information.
Some more phone info:
Rooted via Revolutionary
3.33 universal firmware
Paranoid Android V16
Have you tried upgrading to version 17? I would make sure and do a full wipe then install version 17 and see if problem still persists. I'm also running paranoid Android and never had any problems except once when I flashed over an update without wiping, I was having data issues then. Once I did a full wipe my data restored perfectly. I'd give this a try and see how it goes. I know I have this same problem with cm roms but never with paranoid Android. Give it a try with FULL wipe and see if issue is gone. Best wishes

I tried Dragonkors full wipe script followed by flashing v17 this morning, and this same issue is still happening. This happens on my phone no matter what ROM I use, and after full wipe every time. Is there some settings stored on my sd card that I could try to reset to make the switching from Wi-Fi to high speed data network work again? I don't think this is a ROM problem since its happening on all ROM's. Its not how I'm flashing ROM's either as I have been doing so since the Sensation came out. I don't know what is left to troubleshoot this problem, and am kind of out of ideas. I hope a developer on here sees this post, and can make sense of the situation as I cannot.

I think the problem is narrowed down to faulty sim card, something on T-mobiles end, or a hardware problem??
Anyone got any other advice?

The crappy thing is aokp by frankinstine is one of the roms I flashed hoping that this problem would not persist, but it did.
I did a factory data reset, installed the rom, connected to wi-fi, disconnected wi-fi= data dead.
The only way I have been able to make it come back on so far is to: go into settings >dev options>launch tools>connectivity
Inside connectivity settings, I hit Remove Default Route, then Stop HiPri, then Start HiPri in this order and it will make my data connection come to life.
I don't understand why the phone won't connect automatically anymore. This is a pain to have to do every time I leave wi-fi. If anyone understands why this might happen out of no where when no changes were made to a perfectly functioning ROM setup please feel free to chime in. Thanks.

UPDATE:
Getting an updated SIM card solved this problem. Not sure if mine was faulty or just out of date... it was the one that came with the phone when the Sensation came out. Also a guy at the T-mobile store told me they are adding several LTE towers in my area at the moment, so maybe this rendered my SIM card obsolete. Not sure exactly what was going on, but at least I finally found a solution. Thanks to those who posted to help me troubleshoot this strange problem.

I was running the latest stable version of CM10.1 on my GS3 and all was going well until someone sent me a text message and I tried to respond. I was greeted with the error of message not sent. I attempted to text someone else to have the same error. Attempting to call someone will just hang and eventually say call failed.
I thought it was a radio issue so attempted to flash different modems but had the same result. So I restored my previous rom Beans 11 that was working after wiping and the same issue. Data works perfect, but voice and text does not. I searched and odin'd back to stock VRLG1 and entered *2767*3855# in hopes of that fixing the problem, again no voice/text.
Any suggestions further help? I don't know what else to try!
*CM10.1 was working fine, and then calls/texting stopped but data continued to work without trouble.
*IMEI seems to be intact
*Flashed backup of known working rom and issue still persists
*Flashed back to VRLG1 and attempted *2767*3855# as per another post to no avail and this is where I sit.
Same thing. Installed jellybeans 12 now I can't call or text. Prior text was hit and miss some days....restored stock rooted image flashed other Roms....no help. Dialed the ** number....so screwed. Ayneegry should have backed up my few several times. No idea what to do.

When you say "Data" do you mean wifi or 3g/4g? If you have no phone/text/3g/4g then it's probably your imei. Check under phone settings, see if it's gone. If it's gone you gotta restore, do a search.
If you have 3g/4g then I don't know what the problem is. Sorry, just trying to help
Odin back to ICS and reprovision your phone by going into the dialer and typing *2767*3855#

I hear ya, if I can't figure out what's up, I'll end up having to go back to verizon and see what I can do... It was out of the blue, everything was working and then suddenly it just stopped. Happened on a flash that was a little over a day old, so who knows.
Check Mobile network
I have thiss problem happen occasionally when I flash custom roms. Look under your mobile networks, see if either CDMA/SIM is checked or NV. If NV is checked switch to CDMA/SIM and then reboot. That seems to fix that problem most of the time.
Edit: After some tests found out this doesn't always stick, but I did find out that after switching from NV to CDMA/SIM turn on airplane mode so the radios are tunred off, wait a few moments, then turn airplane mode off. That worked more consistently than restarting it.

Cruzin' tha Galaxy SIII via Obsessed Rom / "INAPPROPRIATE" Kernel
I had the same issue two days ago when I flashed to the latest MIUI Rom. Here's how I fixed it.
Go into settings, mobile networks, make sure subscription is set to SIM. After that open the phone, type *#*#4636#*#* make sure it's set to LTE/CDMA/AUTO
Reboot phone and all should be well.

If you Odin back to the original stock unroofed ROM, you'd have to take all the ota Verizon updates to vmf1. Then reset your phone.
Pain in the a$$ but has always worked for me. I had same problem running carbon.
I read in another post that Odin back to root66, them reset your phone would work too.
