sprint data not working on android

Hi, new poster here. I've only just started to tinker with my vogue after 2 years of suffering through WM6.1, unaware of all the outside possibilities. It's quite impressive really and i'm having a grand time with my new toy.
BUT.
I can't for the life of me understand why the data connection is not working.
I installed incubus' HTCSense release first, and it wouldn't connect (small little orange light next to the Ev symbol in notification bar:warning? error?), so I just wiped everything and installed the latest Donut. Now it says everything's fine, i can connect the modem and all, it even gives me an IP... but nothing that actually uses the data connection works; and I can't ping my IP from the outside, either.
I can't possibly be the only one with this problem, yet no thread on this forum seems to be addressing it. Does anybody know how I could track it down or work out a passable solution? I really don't have much use for Android if all it can do is be all kinds of pretty and switch between 5 screens silky-smoothly...
thanks in advance!
Vianney
PS: note that I'm on a Sprint plan, voice 200m + unlimited data, no text.

have you tried flashing back to stock windows, confirming data, then flashing to android again( either build).which voguimg.nbh file did you use?

Like hunter said, you need to flash back to the stock Sprint rom and provision data. You can download the stock rom for the vogue here or off of the Sprint downloads section. Nine times out of ten data problems seem to be because data wasn't provisioned prior to flashing Android.

this is also a good time to mention the forum search tool. since this question has been answered at least 100 times

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't suppose there's any way to save my settings/data while I flash everything back to winmo?
Provisioning might be the issue. But I had been using my Vogue on WinMo for 2 years and using data with no problem... that said, I changed my data plan from by-the-kb to unlimited since, so it might be that?
Hunter, I used incubus' included NBH for his Eclair, and voguimg-240x320-eclair-29-04-10.nbh for Vym's Warm Donut.
Kyle, I searched for a week before posting here so i'm familiar with this tool, but never could find the right answer; I'll happily educate myself if you provide me with the magic search terms.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do a reboot and when the text/code starts scrolling push the volume slide up to get the install menu. There should be an option to backup data. When that's done you can put it into bootloader and flash to winmo. Once you know you have data working on winmo, try browsing around a little, you can go back into bootloader and flash the nbh file you're using for Android. When it reboots go back into the install menu. Install the system and then restore data and you're all set.

Many thanks guys, I switched back (after a few hours and scares), provisioned, switched again, and now I'm just having too much fun awesome job.

hi again
Do you have to redo this everytime data stops working? It was doing just great and stopped all of a sudden 36h ago. Now the modem connects but doesn't even get an IP, no data icon appears in notification bar, and yet all the options (sync, background data...) are back to normal.
ifconfig -a gives me info for 'lo', 'dummy0' and 'usb0', all supposedly ok but with no packet (8 on 'lo') and no error to track down.
Is it likely in need of reprovisioning? Am I going to have to do it every 15 days?
thanks,
V

Your data shouldn't just stop working. Have you trie a reboot?

several times yeah.
It's just not even trying. The modem says 'done' but that's it, any app using data just says it couldn't establish a connection... i'm baffled.

[Q]Flashed a number of pre packed froyo roms and still no working bell modem file

I need to find a firmware for my bell I9000 (from what I've read its the I9000m), I've tried a whole whack of different flashes but none of them seem to get the data network running.
Flash works great on the September release of froyo just I cannot find any way to get my 3g network back and working again I dont really care if I'm running froyo anymore or not but it would be nice.
Basically any ideas would be fantastic thanks for your time and attention.
I dont get download mode anymore I don't know what happened but my phone had it to begin with. But either way I'm comfortable enough with command line so "adb reboot download" is fine with me, as long as it keeps working.

just go into the service menu an enable the bands that you want to use in the phone
the drivers are there already
all you need is to create the APN again
look at the stick about missing 850 band

apparently it doesn't matter as my phone wont boot now.
My phone decided this morning to bug out and all the apps force closed on me than decided that it only wants to flash the i9000 boot screen, no animation it just keeps getting to the point where the capcative buttons light up than poof, black screen again than reboot, rinse repeat.

No Data after flashing roms, this is probably a stupid question...

Okay so over the past few days I've been flashing a bunch of diff roms to see what I like. I've had a constant problem with getting mms to work on any of them. Well I was doing all of this from home and always had wireless to use for data, hence I used it.
Tonight, however, after flashing a few diff roms I found out I didn't have a data connection at all. Tried a couple diff cm6 nightlies and the blackmod of cm6, and after flashing the only way I can access the internet is through wi fi. Otherwise I got nothing.
Sooo, maybe my mms problem was just this all along or maybe not. Anyway, what could be the cause of losing all data connectivity. Phone says it's connected in status. And the widgets somehow magically update. But the browser, market,mms, etc don't work at all.
I'm gonna flash the 0.7 aospmod and see what happens. Any help you can offer is appreciated.
And yes, I might just be an idiot. Forgive me.

Just flashed aospmod v.07 and same ****. No data connectivity.
What gives? I feel stupid.

a guess
possible APN settings issue, did you flash back to a 2.1 sense rom, and try an Over The Air activation and update profile?
I honestly don't know but thats a guess... I use my phone with pageplus (verizon) and editing my APN settings is what fixed it for me.

Ruu. Started fresh.
Everything seems to be okay.
Thanks.

This happens on a lot of roms. I've found to fix it all u have to do is toggle on and off either or both airplane mode and moblie network.

I found having to open browser and put in my cell number b4 sprint data would work, also prl update works for me.

I had this happen to me (including all bars showing and things refreshing) and spent several hours working on it only to determine the only solution was to RUU and start over....but its faster this time around because you have nandroids....just flash one after you re root from before you lost data (if you have one) and if not, back up your apps and data with titanium backup or mybackup pro...
(I had tried all the things listed in the previous posts....not saying they wont work for you, but in my case, they didn't)

random problems with captivate

I been having weird issues with my captivate. Latley on wifi connection I would have no internet, YouTube, or market. Even sometimes on 3g my YouTube will say no communication or server error as well as android market. It started happening a month ago where my phone kept saying force close cause of facebook and android something and I had to reset it back to default. (People said there was no fix).
Last night I had to reset it again because it kept saying it was downloading a program from the market and never stopped for 2 days. It also disabled any downloadable update. So before I reset I unrooted it with z4 mod and reset. Also wiring stopped working.
It was OK until I rooted with z4 and now I'm starting to get connection issues. It doesn't matter what house I'm at its the same. I rooted it before by using the computer and busybox and it was fine
If the issues only happen when its on wifi....YouTube will never work. It will say error or no network and refuse to do anything even on 3g. And it will never ever let me log into my Google account anymore. I know I'm using the right password cause I can log into my home computer
Also my TV out is all static and blurry regardless of pal or NTSC output and it doesn't work regardless of the plug I use and TV. I even switched all rcas to make sure the video isn't in another output
I'm on eclair 2.1. I am really irritated and tired after a day of searching. Thanks!

An easy way to check to see if its software and not hardware would be to flash stock with Odin. And test again.

Unfortunately I didn't back it up: :/
Also I never flashed before

I was going to try to learn how to flash and I just remembered this phone would never go into its boot menu. I used to be able to use sdk to do it but after my last reset it doesn't work
I'm not dumb I done every method that people said many times with no luck. It has never went to it manually

Try using Titanium Backup to back up important data you might have on your phone. If you're having market problems, connect your phone to your computer and manually backup files. Then, follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 to get Odin3 One-Click and the necessary drivers, and then use it to flash back to stock JF6 (2.1). Then, once you're back in stock JF6, enable USB Debugging in your phone settings, change USB Connection type to Mass Storage, and with Odin3 open, plug in your phone and mount the internal SD card, then click on Master Clear in Odin3, which will wipe all your user data. Then, if you decide to install ClockworkMod Recovery, use it to format cache, user data, and Dalvik cache. Hopefully, this will solve all of your problems

OK...there is nothing much on my phone. All the goods are on the SD card that I can easilly put back on the computer.
I will try what you say. I really want to get everything working before I start having fun with themes and other things to make my phone unique
Thanks. Ill report back later tonight!

My phone works, and for the first time ever I was able to go into the boot screen! lol.
I did the flash, and then master reset.
So what now, should I root it again? Or wait, or fiddle with themes? Or just run stock to see if I have issues?
Will this correct my video output to?

Well I went to the dark side. I felt overconfident in flashing my phone so I decided to learn how to install another ROM. Now I am running cognition 4.3.
I like the new look. The speed is crazy compared to stock 2.1 eclair.
I want to officially thank you for the help that you given me. Its hard to understand sometimes on this forum. But with the assistance of the tutorials on this site, and YOUTUBE everything works out ok. I wish you guys lived closer, id hook you up with some beer lol.
Now I got to figure out why ADB doesnt work on my computer =).
Ill check my video output tomorrow as well.

No problem, I'm just glad your phone works again
And btw, no need for beer because I'm only 16 lol

[Q] Any suggestions on this wifi issue?

This has been going on for about a month but I finally decided to try to fix it.
It started with my phone seeing my home network. It says "remembered" but it gets stuck in an endless loop of "Connecting, disconnected." It cycles so fast between the two that if you blink you'll miss it.
Things I tried:
-Forgetting the Network(doing this made the problem even worse, I'll explain later)
-Power Cycling everything
-Fxr and other wifi utilities on the market
-Battery pulls
-Factory reset
Since I did the forget network option the network at my home no longer shows up, along any other network I'm around, open or not. It just scans and never finds anything. I can be standing right next to the router and the phone doesn't know it's there.
So my next steps were these:
-Rooted phone
-Deleted bcm_supp.conf in the wifi folder with the wifi off. Didn't change anything.
Got some results when I deleted bcm_supp.conf with the wifi turned on, cleared phone cache, turned wifi off and then turned it back on. At that point the phone could finally see my network again but I was back to the connecting, disconnected problem I started with. That's the only way I can get it to see networks but it still won't connect.
I've all but given up and hoping someone has other suggestions.

U could try flashing a different modem.
What is ur phone set up right now?

Right now everything that I have is stock. 2.2. Only thing I've done is rooted so far in attempts to have more control of getting this fixed and try a few of the fixes i read about from google searches.
I'm admittedly a noob at the higher levels of phone tinkering but I'm not opposed to it obviously, so I'll look up info on flashing a different modem. Thanks.

I had the same problem until I updated to a custom ROM. I went to Pheonix' ROM but it also works on Team Hacksung's Build9.
