My problem is this, after installing launcherpro plus and Widgetsoid last night, I can't seem to get data to turn on, even though "User Packet Data" is checkmarked.
I use "dataswitch" to turn on data on/off.
Any ideas or someone who's gone through this problem and found a remedy?
I have tried restarting the unit, without success. So before I reset the Tab completely, I'll give the forums a try first.
Thanks for any suggestions!!
You probably lost the APN settings. You will need to put them again : go to
Menu-Settings-wireless and network-mobile networks-access point names-and at this point use the menu button and hit NEW apn
You will have to set up the APN with the settings from your provider, and at the end hit the menu button again and SAVE.
Once you save it you will see the APN you just create. It will probably select by itself. If not Select it and enjoy your data connection again.
Last thing hit the Thank you button to my post

Started happening the other day. I was using WiFi and didn't notice that my 3G/Edge icons had disappeared. Last night I turned of WiFi at home and noticed the problem because I didn't have any data connection.
Tried everything beyond a factory reset. Did some trouble shooting with Tmobile (including a reset on their side) and next step is to do the reset.
Only thing that I can think of effecting the phone recently was installing a battery saver app (battery fu from the market) that supposedly controls data access to save energy. I uninstalled it and did a recent but the data problem still exists.
Anyone experience this problem or have other suggestions how to troubleshoot? Outside of my 30 days. Stock phone.

If it's the same thing that happens to me a couple times a day, this is the fix:
Go to settings -> wireless and network ->mobile networks -> access point names. Push menu button and choose reset to default.
For some reason, after the standard epc.tmboile.com it adds wpn-disabled or something to that effect in the APN.

Thanks for your tip. That was exactly the problem, but in my case it had something along the lines of batteryfu disabled. After switching back to internet + mms, everything is back to normal.
What a crappy application batteryfu is when it doesn't clean-up after itself. I'm going back and giving the app a very negative review.
This happened to me. I went to Go to settings -> wireless and network ->mobile networks -> access point names and under T-Mobile US there was "epc.tmobile.com[disbaled].
I clicked it though, and all the way down, I clicked APN type.
I selected Internet+MMS and my 3G icon came back.
Everything was working.
I still had the [disabled] in brackets... so I did the "Reset to Default" and it changed back to normal.
Been searching this ALL DAY today... and fixed it. I finally found this thread. Too late... but good to know.
I've tried having the Sense Data and Wi-Fi widgets on my home screen so I can turn off data while at home and turn off Wi-Fi when I'm not. I've also tried QuickSettings and MySettings from the app store for the same purpose. (Couldn't find the option in MySettings though.)
Anyway, it seems that my data settings end up corrupted when I use these. I've only had my Aria for a few days, so I haven't pinpointed which one is the culprit. Last night my data wouldn't connect no matter which button I pressed. I turned the phone off and back on, but still no data. When I compared my APN settings to a friend's Aria, I realized that a dash (-) had been added to a few of the settings like the server, etc. When I reset the APN settings to default, everything started working again.
Then earlier today, when I disabled my wi-fi and tried to enable the data, it wouldn't connect. I checked the APN settings and they seemed correct. I reset to default anyway, but it still wouldn't connect. This time when I turned the phone off and back on, everything worked fine.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this? Does SwitchPro have a data on/off switch? What's the most reliable way to enable wi-fi/disable cell data and vice-versa?
Let me ask another question.. if I turn on Wi-Fi when I'm at home, am I really even saving much battery by turning off the 3G data? Maybe I should just leave it on and not worry about this?
Well... no one seems to have an opinion on this one. I got rid of Quick Settings and MySettings, briefly downloaded SwitchPro, then refunded it and decided to go with Extended Controls. Really liking it so far. Haven't left the house yet to try the data on/off switch yet though and I don't get a signal at my house, so I can't try it here. I'll post results here later.
Hi
I have an HTC Desire HD
I have changed a setting somewhere (i remember doing it) which switches off wifi when the screen times out. I did it on purpose at the time thinking it would come on again when the screen was unlocked. Wrong!
The problem is I now can't find or remember the exact setting I changed!
Could be powersaving, wifi, screen lock or any other non-obvious setting!
I have tried everything I can think off. At the moment, everytime the screen goes off, so does wifi. Very annoying
I would really appreciate any help

I wasn't aware there was an option for this is froyo! Unless you're referring to the WiFi sleep policy? Try menu > advanced when in WiFi settings but I think this only allows you to determine the time out period, not the condition (ie the screen going off)... however, there are apps that will allow you to do this. Are you sure you haven't installed something that's causing this?
Go to wifi and press menu. Its under advanced settings.
Hi
Thanks for your tips. Found it!!
It wasn't in the Wifi, or screenlock settings (I had looked at everything on those!!)
I remembered that had installed the Battery Booster app and then messed with the Battery Teak settings to turn off wifi on screenlock
Actually a handy app, if you set it up properly, which I hadn't!!
Thanks once again for the prompt
Mark
don't forget after change setting hit menu button again to save the change lol
Hi all,
I've found these forums invaluable in the past, and as I can't do anything until Monday thought I'd see if anyone has had the same problem.
I got the Optimus 7 yesterday, and all was well during the initial setup. During Wifi setup, a list of available connections popped up immediately, and my password was accepted.
After adding my Live account, I downloaded the Xbox Live app. During the download I noticed that it was using the 3G connection rather than Wifi.
When the download finished, I went back into the Wifi settings to ensure it was switched on. It had turned itself off.
Now when I enter the settings and switch on the Wifi, the 'Searching...' text appears, but no networks are ever found. When I turn on Bluetooth, the orange progress bar dots appear at the top of the screen for a few seconds, then Bluetooth switches itself back off.
I've tried a factory reset through the 'About' screen, but the issue remains.
Seems like a hardware failure to me, but if anyone has had the same problem and knows of a fix that would be great as I'll have to wait until Monday at least to return it.
My first LG phone, wish I'd stuck with HTC.
Thanks!

Try to make a reset from the MFG "secret" app, here is how:
-Dial: ##634#
-Press the "call" button
-On the MFG screen input this password: 277634#*# (translated is appmfg#*#) and press enter. Now the MFG icon is listed on the "programs list".
-Now you can access to many options, tests.....
Press 4.Factory reset. and confirm.
Let us know if this help
Thanks for your suggestion! I can't try it now as I had the phone replaced. I meant to post but it slipped my mind.
New phone is working fine and I'm very happy with it!
Hi guys, I've already solved this issue but couldn't find any info on it while it was going on, so wanted to share what happened and how to fix it, just in case someone else runs into this. I think this is the most appropriate section to post, but if not, please feel free to move it, mods.
The problem was this: WiFi suddenly stopped working on my rom. It just straight up wouldn't turn on. Pressing the wireless icon in the launcher did nothing, and from the settings menu I'd see the "to see available networks, turn Wi-Fi on" message, even if I turned it on. Coming out of that screen and going back in would show the WiFi was still turned off. Reboots didn't work, uninstalling suspect apps didn't work. I was ready to wipe & reinstall the rom.
The solution is this: I then had what I thought was a really dumb idea. Try changing the WiFi frequency band. It worked. I'll explain what I did step by step;
Long press the WiFi button in your notifications bar, or go to Settings>WiFi
Press the menu button (either the menu key on your phone, or the three dots at the top left of the screen) and select 'Advanced'
Tap on 'Wi-Fi frequency band', and change it from automatic to '5 GHz only' (it may be your WiFi is on the 2.4 Ghz band. I'll come to that)
Reboot your phone
If your WiFi is on the 5GHz band, and your issue was the same as mine, it will now connect to the network and you'll have internet (you may need to turn WiFi on, first)
If it didn't, repeat the steps above, but this time choose '2.4GHz only' instead of 5.
Hopefully you'll now be online again. If you like, you can now change the frequency band setting to automatic again, and the WiFi should work just like it was before.
I really hope this can help some folks who might experience this in the future. It was such a weird issue, and it's such a simple yet obscure fix. With any luck this'll prevent any unneeded wipes.
Had a similar issue on another device... this might help with that too.
