Apologies if this has been posted before, I have tried to find topics similar, but have found no resolution thus far.
My X10's data was working perfectly, then about 2 weeks ago, market stopped working at "Starting Download" never completed, and I couldn't download Apps! This suddenly fixed itself one night randomly, and all my apps downloaded and installed, but instantly the market problem continued when I tried to use it again!
Now, the 3G/2G connection is totally non existent, there is NO icon at the top.. I have tried restarting the phone, turning it off and on, sim and battery out, even calling O2 to get correct APN settings (Server field is black, is this right?) and I got no "green light" beside "mms" at the APN type field..
The signal was fantastic before, and my family are still getting 3G connection on their phones, so I ahve no idea what the problem is.. I installed a few battery saving things which Iv since uninstalled.. but i have no clue what to do!
Any help would be much appreciated.. Thankyou!
suggest backing up your apps and then doing a factory data reset.. it's a pain in the proverbials but worked for me when this happened a couple of months ago.
How do I go about doing this mate? Any easy way?
Hi - Before you do this.. Can I just check something.. have you check in your network settings that it's not switched off... settings; wireless controls; mobile networks; MMS and data (needs to be on!).. and network mode - best to have it on GSM/ WCDMA Preferred to make sure... otherwise.... to answer your question above..
That will depend on whether you've already downloaded a file/ app manager such as ASTRO which will allow you to back up the apps.... if not you'll just have to make a note of which ones you want to reinstall and re load them after you've reset the phone.. the reset is done in the settings menu - sd card and phone storage - factory data reset... it will reset your phone back to how is was when you first got it though..

Haven't experienced the same issues that required hard reset to fix it (had an issue that required a soft reset tho, but rarely).
Have been using it since Oct 09.
soft reset is not necessary, just need to turn off and on the data connections in the comm manager.
I have used my x1 for four months in America with T-mobile. The phone had no problem until yesterday. However, yesterday, the phone began to lose signal and automatically rebooted several times. Then, finally, from the afternoon, the phone totally lost the signal, and kept looking the signal.
I took out my sim card and plugged into another cell phone and it worked. So, I thought it was the problem of the rom. (I was using Touch-IT 4.5) I downloaded the new version of the rom, Touch-IT 5.6, then flashed it. However, it did not solve the problem. So, I flashed with the original SE rom. However, the phone didn't work either.
I contacted T-mobile, and there was not problem on the signal on my region. I thought it might the problem of data plan since I do not use data plan. So I used Advanced config and killed every option for data plan. However, it still does not work. I tried to do settings manually. changing band, carrier, and every possible options, but it does not work.
Interestingly, the phone worked two times today for a short amount of the time. However, after the reset, it is gone. Other than phone function, I do not see any problem.
Even now the phone keeps searching the signal. What can I do? I read another article that is similar to my case, and they say even after changing the sim card, it does not work.
Anyone has the same issue? What can I do? My phone is dead for two days, and it messes up so many things. Please somebody help me.
Have you tried redoing the connection setup?
try clicking on signal antenna then enter settings click on network and manual select your network, will take a few mins to find networks if it connects manualy just select auto again and hopefully it will fix it., worked with mine.
Thank you guys
Thank you guys. Yes, I have tried both of them, but it still does not work.
In Connection setup, I chose United States and T-mobile, and the screen to choose between T-mobile and At&t. I select T-mobile, and click Register. Then, it goes to the searching mode again, and nothing happens.
I assume that somehow, the phone finds networks, since it does show the options to choose (T-mobile, At&t). But something is not right, and it messes the set up. I do not know why.
I woke up this morning and my phone is not showing an E or 3G or even a G for that matter
At the lock screen it shows I'm registered on T-mobile network. I can place and receive calls/texts.
I can't access anything that uses data though. I've tried rebooting the phone and doing a battery pull.
This has me baffled.
This happened to me today too. I wasn't using any data so I thought nothing of it till a bit later when I restarted my phone and when it booted back up 3G came back on and the icon came back.
My theory is that the phone only tries to reconnect every once in a while to the Internet when the service goes down so it probably was just down when you tried before.
Can anyone confirm that this was a system wide Internet outage? Or regional? (Philly for me here)
Still no icons for me. i'm in alabama.
In my haste to figure it out I did a factory wipe/reset hoping to solve the problem. It didn't help. Now I can't sign into my gmail because it can't connect.
Still looking for help here if anyone can offer any
try checking your apns
Check your apns under settings>mobile networks> apns
Should say internet2.voicestream.com as on of the apns. Do a Google search to find the correct alms if you don't have T-Mobile
Hey, thanks for trying to help but it came back on its own just now. After i ended a call the E flashed for a second and then 3G popped back up and has been fine ever since. To bad I had to go all day without my data.
oh, and as far as I know my APN has always been epc.tmobile.com it works fine.
I am experiencing the same problem in France. Apparently it comes from the cyanogen mode (wether it is version 404, 418 or 4.10.1). When I install it everything's fine for a few hours and then the E/G/3G disappears most of the time, just showing (less than 1sec) every now and then. I can call, text but no mms/web/market dl ...
I tried a backup, wipe and reboot. Everything works, but a few hours later ...
If I restore the backup it still won't get 3G...
Is the only answer to wait and see ?
Great, I just installed the "CME_DHD2_COMPACT_v1.6_CWM_ODEX_RAM" ROM and I do not have any APN entry at all.
I recently got my Galaxy S. To save battery I used APNdroid to dis/enable 3G/2G. However, now I cannot activate 3G anymore (only edge still works).
I've checked under settings to see if 'only use 2G' was activated > not the case.
I reentered the APN settings from scratch > still nothing
Uninstalled APN droid completly > nothing
Did a factory reset > nothing
Anyone has any ideas?
Just a note, APNDroid doesn't work well with SGS.
It never turned the APN back on as should on my device. Had to reboot it.
However if you did a factory reset and it didn't help I dont think APNDroid can screw things up so badly. I know it's a stupid Q but did you double check the APN settings you entered?
Hmm.. not sure what problems might APN cause on your phones but i have no prob at all on my phone with APN.. most of time i have switched to 2G only in options to save battery power.. switching APN on/off by my needs w/o problem.. even if i need to use faster connection everythings works well
btw: my FW is stock JM2
i used another app on market to toggle and when i uninstalled it i couldnt get into the market and couldnt connect to anything google
my wifi and internet are working perfect but google cant establish a connection
so trying to work out how to "establish a data connection"
regards
Also, make sure that you use the correct APN's. Sometimes your carrier (in my case it was O2) use a different APN for PAYG and for POSTPAY.
ok, found the problem, apparantly I didn't have 3G coverage in my area. Today (on other location) it works fine.
Which is weird, since my other cell phone has perfect 3G coverage ... (it's a simple Nokia, maybe it doesn't recognize the difference between 2G and 3G )

Hello, first to say, im not a newb, noob, newly registered, or a guy who dont understand anything from android.
Im not posting stupid topics, or topics which answers can be found easily on internet/google/xda/forums and such.
I am running stock rom, only rooted (i used to root it only to apply some xposed settings and clear some unnessesary apps, nothing more, nothing less).
Here is the description:
My phone has no warranty, i bought it online, brand new from UK, simfree. At that point, i had no problems with the connection. i received OTA Update - about 50-60 mb, but the phone remain 4.2.2 as it was. I still had no problems with the connection. After some time, the phone was left alone inhome for a few days, may be a week, it was turned off and it was not used at all. When i got back, i inserted my sim card, and i saw it is showing only G icon, and no 3g/h/h+, nor even 2g. I live in big city with very good network coverage, so its not network problem. I dialed up the customer service (Globul Telenor Bulgaria) , explained them my problem and asked them to check if its operator's problem or sim card problem, but it is not. The sim is fine, so is the network coverage. I dont have other operator's sim card to check the phone. I tryed several possible solutions found in google/xda - turned off the phone, removed sim and battery and left that way for few hours, still have the problem, tryed to switch operators manually and register sim card to other operator then back to mine, not working. Several times reseting/ deleting APNs, switching airplane mode, data off/on, adding apns/searching for networks and all available combos, not working asked Globul Customer support to send me new settings- not working. The only obvious thing i havent tryed is the factory reset (I still need to do a backup first and dont have time to do it right now.)
In Settings- More networks - Mobile networks- Network mode i have 2 options - 2g/3g auto connect and 3g Only. When I choose only 3g - i lose any signal, like there is no sim card. Reverting back to auto 2g/3g is registering my sim back to Globul network.
Then i decided to root my phone if i can find a fix for the connection. Rooted with CF-Auto-Root thru Odin. (The 30sec Root)
Looked for some tweaks in xposed modules and settings, i couldnt find anything related to 3g. Still looking for a solution...
I repeat - my phone was completely stock and non-rooted when the problem occurs! Now is rooted with stock rom. (this is the diffirent from every topic i searched.)
Im attaching some screenshots, if someone can help me. 2g is really annoying and slow as hell.
Well the first thing I would do is update your phone. You are running 4.2.2 which is old. Update to the latest version, that could either be a stock rom or a custom rom.
After that do a factory reset. Make sure you backup your internal storage etc, because it will wipe it clean.
Factory reset, updated to 4,3, after that 4.4.2 problem still persists.
No 3g at all. Its not the sim. Any way to fix it ?
Soo no way to fix it? Should i give it for repair?
