my u8800 will not access the cellular data network. wifi works fine. i looked in settings to insure cellular data enabled. also did a factory reset. no success. i haven't found reference to this problem looking at other posts or other searches on line so am wondering if just a mechanical defect of some sort in the handset. has anyone else experienced this problem?

Hey. I have an HTC Magic (32A) from Rogers. I followed the guide on the CM wiki for rooting my phone and installing CM 6.1.0. The installation and such went without a hitch; it's working fine, except my data connection no longer works. WiFi works perfectly fine, though. It's just a shame because I'm now paying for a data plan that I can't use.
I read around here that it's usually an issue with the APN info, but I triple-checked it and it seems all fine and dandy. The "Data connection" option is also checked, as it should be.
The only thing I can think of at this point is the ridiculous 911 debacle, but the Rogers waiver form for reactivating data says my IMEI is invalid -- this seems like a very common issue, but I'm a bit weary of calling tech support since I have a rooted phone.
If it's even possible at this point, I wouldn't mind even reverting back to my stock 2.1 state, except I didn't make any backups with nandroid first. Any help would be appreciated. Here's my version stuff:
HBOOT-1.33.2010
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Have you tried popping your sim card into another 3G capable phone, and see if it can manage any 3G traffic?
If so, then it is not a provider / data enable issue, but rather a phone issue.
If you installed CM, then your APN should have been set automatically (CM comes with a big list). If you messed with the APN and saved it, you might wanna check it a 4th time
Have you tried the 2g/3g toggle button in the power widget that comes with CM?
Have you tried the settings of the power widget that comes with CM, where you can configure the toggle options for 2g/3g?
Do you even have normal "g" (GPRS)?
Do you live in a concrete underground bunker? Have you got good enough signal for data traffic?
Data service enable from your network provider is usually to the SIM, and not to the phone (where you IMEI resides).
I think if they block the phone based on IMEI (or don't recognize your IMEI), then you will have no connectivity (both data and voice/txt).
Thanks for the reply!
I tried putting the SIM card into another phone just now (a Nexus One, unrooted, stock ROM), and it's the same thing: voice/text works but no data.
I've had no luck with the APN list from CM. I tried another list I found on the internet somewhere but that didn't work either. I've since reset it back to the CM default.
Tried the 2G/3G toggling, didn't work.
I've never even seen the data icon that shows 3G or regular G. Is there a better way to check if I have a GPRS connection?
I've tried it at multiple altitudes. Right now I'm sitting in an office and I've got all four bars on my signal.
My uncle happens to work for Rogers; I asked him about it and he said he'll send me a list of instructions on what to do, in case the problem is indeed on Rogers' end. If it works then I'll post it here for y'all.
Hi
since last week i got this weird bug where when i activate 3G connection i loose all my Reception, buy only activating Data it works fine, but 3G just shuts down the Reseption.
anyone else get this problem? or did anyone know a solution?
thanks in advance
how on earth do u enable and disable 3g?
In the setting menu under enable Data usage!
i think its only available on t-mobile handsets
On my unlocked Omnia it's under Cellular on the Settings menu (which I swear said something else before I had the antenna repaired!).
Anyone else having this problem? can't call while this is going on, changing network to GSM ONLY kind-of fixed it but now i'm stuck without 3G& i dont even use Data on my phone plan, so anyone having these problems should go about setting it to gsm only.
Hey everyone,
I'm having issues with data on my Samsung Focus.
At random times, which looks to be during high data usage, my data connection is lost. The only way to restore data is to reset the phone.
I tried going to airplane mode and back, did not help. Tried turing off data and back on, same thing.
Why am i loosing data connection? Im on Rogers/Fido network (Canada), with an AT&T Samsung Focus. I also have the chevron unlock.
I've also had this issue pre-Nodo and with Nodo.
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks
Hi all
The past 2 days I seem to be having an issue with intermittent 4G coverage...
It will connect to 4G but have a small X next to it in the top menu. I receive no internet however.
What does the X mean as I can't find the answer anywhere, and is it an issue with my phone or my service provider?
I am on EE UK and running 7.1.1 Beta NPF10C
I have restarted, turned on and off airplane mode, reset my APN to no avail.
Anything else you need to need to know I will provide
Thanks in advance
I have had the same problems occasionally & I think it's an EE fault. It basically means you have a 4G connection but no internet access. Toggling mobile data off, waiting a minute or two, and re-enabling seems to get a new connection.
