I woke up this morning and 3g was no longer working. The 3G icon on my notification bar still shows traffic (up/down arrows light up) but I can't connect to any websites, twitter, gv sms, nothing. When I connect to wifi or set my phone to 2g networks only everything works fine. Any suggestions?

Call tmobile ask if there's an outage in your area for 3g? If not i'm sure they'll transfer you to google tech support who can help you out more.
Sounds like this is a tmobile network issue or a potential bug with the latest release (did you upgrade?). If it happened after recently upgrading to the new froyo and especially if you didn't before or after upgrading.. do a factory reset/hard wipe (backup first just to be double safe) see if it goes away.
Same happened to me. Not the build cause my wife's tp2 also had no 3g. Then after 2 hours on the phone with tmobile and no help and all day later they both work now ..
It was definitely tmobile

Yeah there was a bunch of people complaining about data and connecting via 3g on the forums here. Figured it had to be one of the two.

OK, maybe this was a glitch, but while I was in another town today, my HD showed it had a 3g connection for about 5 minutes, instead of edge. I thought this wasn't possible?
All this morning at home I had the G icon as well. No H. I assume its a glitch because I did not get the change to send and receive data to test it. The phone would drop back to EDGE.
the G stands for GPRS (slower than EDGE) for 3G you must see 3G in the display
Oh. Well, poop. The other weird thing that happened was that my HD then told me my voicemail was not configured and I had to re-enter it on the phone. Must have changed networks temporarily.
I just picked up a Vibrant today from craigslist (sold my HD2 a couple of hours before ) and internet was working fine for a few hours. I went to the marketplace and downloaded about 30-40 apps then i went to try some of them out and i would get error messages saying i dont have internet but at the top bar there is a 3G symbol. I tried doing a battery pull 3 times to see if that would help but nothing. I even tried switching to only 2G but that didnt help either. Any tips? Im thinking of doing a hard reset just to reset everything incase something odd happened but id rather not because i already started setting up the phone how i like it.
I'm guessing it's because you need to switch your internet data plan to the Android plan, assuming you are on T-Mobile. If you had anything else it would likely work for a few and then stop.
Try go to a different location. I was having problems with 3G at work, would only show uplink but no downlink on my mytouch. Called t-mobile up and opened a trouble ticket and it was fixed today. 3G worked everywhere else but where my work is.
This is likely due to a problem with T-Mobile's data network tonight. For the last few hours data (EDGE and 3G) has not worked not only in my area, but around the entire United States (NY, Vegas, Illinois, Florida, etc).
People have been tweeting about it all night so far: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=tmobile
Some of the latest tweets as of this posts have a few people saying 3G is working for them but no EDGE. If true at all. This is not the case for me, still down here.

Log on to your tmobile account online and see your device, might need to be switched to vibrant from hd2 and you should then get android data instead of what you had with hd2
im retarded i had to call tmo CS and have them switch me to an android plan.
Hi All,
Done a quick search on this and can't find anything relevent, but i apologise if a thread already exists.
Really a question for those in the UK on the t-mobile network. Have any of you attempted to sign up for the orange 2g roaming service yet? I signed up, recieved the confirmation text, replied to it, and received the final confirmation. However, I'm not sure it's working. The signal seems no stronger, and i still drop in my house.
Obviously i'm posting this in the android section because i'm running android myself and am wondering whether anyone in the same boat has managed to get roaming to work. Should the fact that we're on a non-official OS running off the sd card make a difference?
Oh and for completeness, i'm running shubcraft 1.5 rmnet.
Cheers fellas!
I'm quite happily flip flopping between Orange while at work and T-Mobile for everything else...
works like a charm for me though you do have to stick the phone into Airplane mode after selecting the different provider for the data to work ...

Many thanks for the reply Jezwick. So, just for clarity, you're manually selecting each provider as and when required? Because i can do that, i think. When i select orange though, whilst it registers with the network fine, i get a little "R" above the signal bar (any ideas what that means?) And the speed appears to be limited to Edge. Orange have a very strong signal round here, so i figure i should be getting GPRS really.
It's the auto-switching i'm not totally sure is working really. Is there any explicit indicator that it's flipping on it's own? Or do you just observe a generally better 2g signal, rather than say, a very weak 3g one? Round the house, my phone is still trying to make do with 1 or zero bars of 3g. I would have hoped it would flip over to orange more or less all the time under those circumstances. Nothing to stop me manually selecting it i guess though...

The R is indeed for roaming that's the way it works if your not on your 'own' network.. The 'flipped' service will currently only work at GRPS speeds at the moment but should be 3G by the new year
I have noticed mine flipping automatically but only once or twice in the last few weeks but only when I get NO signal from the current service.

Understood - thanks for the info Just done some reading and apparently EDGE is faster than basic GPRS. For some reason, i'd always assumed the reverse. Looks like the best option is just to have it always on orange whilst at home and use wifi for data (which i do anyway to compensate for the poor signal). Cheers!
I don't know if I'm having issues with my phone or T-Mobile's network but I can't get any mobile data functionality. The 3G / H icon displays but any attempt to get any data sees the upload indicator active with no download activity. I've tried WiFi which works fine so it's either a problem with the radio or T-Mobile. Any UK owners on T-Mobile tonight that can tell me if there are issues? Thanks
no issues for me in se london/n kent area
That's what I thought, thanks. I had this a month or so ago where all data downloading would fail but the upload arrow would constantly be there like it was sending requests and getting nothing back. I never did find the problem and it started working a few hours later so it's likely a local issue. I'm in the North East.
i have no issues, in the east midlands
3290 kbps! that's rather fast, I live in the east midlands and don't get anywhere near that

switch off your data with the widget and then restart your phone and switch on the data after the restart
see if that works
otherwise no problem on tmobile in north london/west london... been traving and surfing to make sure my team werent losing. i shouldn't have botherd
It's been fine in the Durham area for me, probably pulled a couple of hundred MB down today...
I hate this stuff sometimes.. I had no 3G from about 7pm last night but 2G worked fine when I finally thought to check it. I tried an hour or so ago and now 3G is back up and running. I know it wasn't the phone because it put the SIM in my Milestone and had the same problem, stupid networks!
I've read the other posts about this.. But they didnt mention anything of my issue.
I'm having a hard time keeping bars up... Bad service in my area for Tmobile...
I have a tmobile prepaid card in currently. it is active. I also have a Blackberry fully unlimited sim. Neither have worked..
The phone is a tmobile mytouch 3g. i have no idea what OS is on it. can't get past the Google login screen
The "Four corner touch" rumour isn't working.
changing APN settings hasnt worked.
Even if I manage to keep 2-3 bars, and the little Edge logo up, it says my connection is unreliable... or says I don't have a network connection.
Tomorrow I am going to drive into town to get full bars and full edge/3g with my blackberry simcard if I can't figure something out tonight.
Sorry if I'm forgetting any details. I'm very tired!
Please help if you can =/ I know nothing about Androids.. I'm an iPhone/blackberry girl.

I've been having the same issues with my myTouch 4G, wonder if there's a network issue. Any rate, don't see anything obviously wrong unless there is actually something up with the tower your feeding off of. Did you take the drive to test?
Totally forgot, because I ended up returning the phone the next day as it was giving me issues. [freezing up]
I did drive in to town, and was able to log in, and update & enable wifi.
if you're running off of edge/3g only when first setting up your phone, it looks like you need a 100% signal. the two data arrows need to be lit up fully, I noticed if they blink, my log in always fails.
Switched to Mytouch 3g Slide, works like a charm.
