Need Help !!! - Galaxy S II General

My phone has stopped working 3G for one day until now( i've used for 1 month) even I try everything such as active, deactive ,reboot, up rom,...but it didn't work at all. I can't see the signal of 3G on the top bar. I don't know the reason is. Could you please help me ?
(I use Vodaphone carrier network in Australia)

Factory reset?

I've done that but it did not work even though in stock rom or cook rom.

Could also possibly be a problem with the network... Masts do break down. Have you tried your sim in a different phone?

Sometimes it does similar to me. It will sit there and go from 3g to edge to 3g to edge. I've taken to just using 2g when I have wifi, then 3g when I want mobile data. Although now that I had the phone for a while, I kind of know where 3g is strong.

When I first booted my NS the clock was completely wrong. I turned on network time in the settings and it was still wrong. I left it like that and next time I looked at my phone, half an hour or so later, the time was correct. I'm on Vodafone UK.
Not entirely sure but I think you guys might just be being too impatient! Also note that network time isn't available on*all* networks.

MT4G Wont connect to mobile network.

Runninng CM RC2. Bars just went out and did not return. Tried everything, returned to stock rom, rebootwd, pulled battery , pulled sim. Nothing works.
Rooted thru grankin01's terminal+gfree method.
Anyhelp please

did u check for enable data/internet/mobile network?
i did a sim card activation a while ago and internet stopped working so I started calling t-mobile, turned out data was turned off..lol
its not just data thats not working. The phone wont connect to tmobile. It would not find any network. Just shows me a x above the network signal bars. I have even tried a factory wipe. Nothing works. I fear it might be the s=off state thats causing it.

[Q] Un-blacklisted phone still cannot make calls or send texts

Hey guys, I have a serious problem with my HD2. It has been blacklisted some time ago but I've convinced my operator to re-enable it. However until I replaced android with stock rom, it would keep saying "no service". Now back on WinMo, I can access internet but still cannot make or receive any phonecalls or texts. In the top notification area it shows that I am connected to 3G but the coverage indicator next to it shows an exclamation mark instead of bars for signal strength. Does anybody recognize this type of behaviour? Any ideas what needs to be done to make my beloved Leo working 100% again?

Bought the phone from ebay. It worked fine for 3 months and then suddenly stopped receiving signal. Got in touch with seller who queried it with their operator and insurance company and came back to me saying that they have nothing to do with it. I then convinced my operator to un-blacklist it but it wouldn't work anyway. Then I've flashed back the evil windows and internet started working but still no calls or texts. My operator says they've done everything the could...

This happened on my first nexus 4. Nothing fixed it. Nothing. Hopefully your situation is different. If nothing works, flash back to stock and start the RMA process. Google said it was a hardware failure with mine by the way.

Did your happen when you first got it or after you had it for awhile? And what's the RMA process
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The periodic loss of signal was there since day. I still have it on my new one. Others do as well, but one day it went out and never came back on. I believe it was a different issue than just random signal loss. Google said hardware failed in it. You have to contact Google to start an RMA. I'm also not implying that your signal won't come back on at some time either. Personally I would flash everything back to stock. Go to a t mobile store and get a new Sim card and if no signal still then contact Google

Under settings, then data, then mobile networks, then to network operators.
let it search, even if it doesn't find anything or errors.
Then click choose automatically.
If you frequently travel out of 3g/H areas, you need that checked or the phone won't roam from tower to tower. you will get no signal.
Also, if that don't work, you can try clicking on a network it finds, and let it register, your signal may come back.
This is a common problem with those that don't live in big cities or near full strength 3g/h areas.
The phone doesn't handle tower handoffs well. Crappy LG modems.

Most likely wouldn't but it would be one more "possible" problem eliminated.

I'm currently going through the RMA process over virtually the exact same issue. However, I've been running franco's nightlies lately and up until he restored the HSIC/wifi stuff to stock in r154 I was actually experiencing less data drops and rapid tower swapping (constantly going from 3g to H and back rendering consistent data inoperable). *shrug* I feel as if it's something in the hardware on the cusp of failing because sometimes it does it more and sometimes it does it less. It's rather weird. I'm also on T-mobile towers through an MVNO (Straight Talk).
I just cancelled and switched to ATT go phone.
I have RMA'd 2 devices, tried multpie new simcards, relflashed, tried new radios, and nothing worked.
It no longer switches from 3g to H on ATT network.
It stays in H constantly.
Also, no more signal drops or loss of signal.
I have 100% signal all the time now.
The data is a little more expensive, but worth it for the coverage so far.
It's not your phone, it's the tmobile network.
