Hey all. I recently went into a dead zone so I lost service (predictably) but as I went to a place where I know there was service, I lost all data related connectivity.
I tried resetting the radio,/phone making sure everything is on but to no avail. I only get data on WiFi now. Any solutions?

Hello everyone,
I just bought an HTC Aria and immediately installed attn1's ROM. My problem is I lose data connectivity even with full signal; I reset the connection in any way (reboot, cycle through airplane mode, change from GSM to other mode and back) and it will be restored for some time and then be lost again.
I could really, really use some help with this, as I have looked in tons of places before posting here.
Thanks in advance.
After trying everything I called my provider and opened a case. Four hours after this the service estarted working perfectly, though they claim they did nothing.
It was probably that you just needed the correct APN settings. It varies from carrier to carrier, and the ROM's default is set for US locale, (AT&T).
I went on vacation last week, and woke up one morning to find that my Data connection was lost.
Voice still works perfectly, however no 3G, 1x or EDGE.
In the Phone status, it says "Mobile Network State: Disconnected".
I've tried turning the data on and off. Turning on Airplane Mode, Turning it off, Rebooting, and every other combination I could think of.
It's running CyanogenMode 6.0.0-080710-VANILLA
Baseband 2.42.02.10.29 (Just updated)
I have no problem flashing back to stock or similar, but I just thought I'd check if anyone has had a similar problem before I call Sprint or lose all my stuff.
Switch over to a sense ROM and update your profile. Worked for me.
I'll try that now.
Thanks
Did this work? I'm having the same problem. I was running CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC1 and used wireless tethering. I turned off the wireless tethering and I've lost my 3G connection. I tried flashing the rom again with no luck and now I've even restored back to the original backup before I flashed with no luck.
If I can't find anything to fix this, I'm going to unroot and take the phone back before my warranty is up in 6 days.
Thanks,
Josh
I have unlimited data and a stock ROM. My phone is unrooted. I've had it for about a week now. Everything works fine on WiFi, but I get no connection via 3G/4G of any kind. I don't even get Edge network data. I've checked to make sure there wasn't an APN that I was missing, I used the *#*# number to check stuff, but nothing. I can't ping google from there, either. I've pulled the battery, I've stopped disabled and reenabled my data. I'm not really sure what's going on here.
Suggestions/help before I got to ATT?

Happened to me when someone reported my phone stolen. I would try factory reset, then ATT.

Thanks.
Idk why anyone would do that to me. I'll try the factory reset and see if that works. Hoped it would come to that
After factory reset, still doesn't work.
Is ATT working on your network there locally? I remember right before they turned LTE on here in Anchorage my phone lost all data for about two hours.

Turns out it was a bad SIM.
I'm in Japan for a couple of weeks for work and signed up for the Japan pack that Sprint offers. I spent almost an entire week working with Sprint support ( ) trying to get data roaming working properly on the phone without much luck (voice and text worked great), but yesterday I lost all connectivity but wifi. Figuring I must have changed something I shouldn't have, I saved everything I could and did a hard reset on the phone.
It still won't connect to any networks. I've re-downloaded PRL and device configs over wifi in the settings but it doesn't even attempt to connect to any wireless networks, or see any for that matter.
I have 2 guesses here but I'd like some kind of confirmation here before I take any action.
1: Maybe my radio firmware is corrupted somehow? I'm not exactly sure how to check it but it just doesn't seem to be doing much of anything. In the SIM status page it says searching for network, but I have no way to know if that's really the case.
2: Since the phone has a Sprint SIM, does it has to be on an actual Sprint network to initialize the networks? (Not Softbank's network here in Japan?) I spent over an hour on Google Voice with them last night trying to get an answer/help but got absolutely nowhere.
The phone is currently all stock but I have no problem unlocking and installing recoveries/software/roms if need be. Any ideas what I can do here or am I just stuck without communication until I get home next week?
Usually the best route is to get a local prepaid sim while traveling but honestly I have no idea what sprint offers for roaming in Japan. Check your plan and see if there is an add on needed.
I'm not alone!
Also THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE!
It worked fine for me last time I came to Japan, about a year ago. This time, I only have voice and text, no data. Right now I'm backing everything up to do a factory reset.
Did you ever find a solution to this?
I'm not sure if you've already done your factory reset, but if you're on Sprint, don't do a reset. The phone can't reactivate itself off of Sprint towers. You have to be in the US when you do the reset. I was stuck with WiFi only for most of my time there because I reset mine.
I never found a solution other than dropping Sprint when I got back to the states. Switched to Verizon and never looked back, though I'm not sure what I'm going to do for my next trip with their ridiculous international rates.
I actually got it working last night.
Factory reset and restore over wifi
Update device config over wifi -> handles activation
Update PRL over wifi 3 times
Now it works
Oh, I'm glad it worked. Is yours on Sprint?
Yes, but I may have spoken too soon. It worked for a few hours and now isn't getting back on data. I think it may be SIM related, since I saw a weird SIM error pop up and rebooted my phone, which led to the data working the first time
They must have redone their activation system since I had my issue in July. At that time there was no way for the phone to reactivate without being on Sprint's system.
As far as the data, that's the same thing I had happen and they were never able to solve the problem. It would work for a little while then stop for no reason. If you find a solution I'd love to hear it though.
I'm wondering if I can flash a different radio or something
Dear experts,
I am facing a strange problem with my meizu mx5 phone data connection.
I felt that there is a network coverage issue with my provider.
But what I noticed is if I start using data as soon as I reboot my phone the connection stays. Otherwise the data connection will lost after few seconds. Does anyone has any ideas to identify if the problem is with phone or sim?

After searching all over the internet, I have tried to resolve the issue and be able to have my data connection always on.
I did this by allowing the applications to access data in background.
Though this has worked for some time, later I am back to the same situation .
I am not really sure how to resolve this problem.

I tried my SIM on another phone and the data was working fine over there.
I put another SIM on my phone and data did not work.
So I thought the issue is with my phone.
After inserting SIM back into my phone, suddenly the data started working.
Though I feel happy that the problem is resolved. I am worried that I could not find the root cause of this problem and what fixed this problem.
