So I've done plenty of searching, enough so that I was able to unlock my phone without the data working, rooted my phone, flashed and modded it, successfully running newest Biffmod.
That being said, i'm 100000% sure I have a working data plan, my plan is unlimited everything.
Works fine in any of my other phones, Dash 3G, HTC HD2, Unlocked Samsung blackjack i607.. The difference, those are all windows mobile phones?
But the HTC HD2 Dual boots android 2.2 froyo and data works there.
Yup, same sim I'm talking about, same plan, just different phones.
Any Idea why my data plan is not working with the G1? Am I doing something wrong? It worked when i FIRST got this phone (ordered it off ebay not that long ago to play with).. After factory reset/wipe before modding is when it all went sour.
Was stuck on log in screen so I had to do the work around to get into the phone, obviously not with Biffmod I can skip.. But I cant use market place, check e-mail, ANYTHING data related. Yet my Icon says 4 bars, 3G and I even see the "up" and "down" data xfer arrows giving me activity.
It's as if it's "there" just not working.
Any help would be great appreciated, I plan to go to T-mobile and hopefully one of the people there will actually have some tech savvy.. Wishful thinking.
Long story short, I just want my data to work. Please, and thank you.
Do a search on here for the correct APN setings for your provider.
edit: here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475564
Read the thread, it's for ATT users trying to use a T-Mobile phone.
The issue is that I actually have T-mobile.
I'm fairly sure I saw the apn settings for t-mo in there too. That's probably what you should be checking first.

Just google Tmobile's US apn settings or grab them from another of your devices, then it will work.
Perfect, I'll give that a shot when I get home from work today, thanks for all the help so far.
On my Phone(Andromeda 2.0 Themed), I get the indication of having 3g or any signal at all and the minute I attempt to send a message, make a call, or surf the web it is unable to send that message, unable to make that call, and unable to surf the web. Help on how to fix this?
NOTE: A flash back to stock DID NOT help this problem at all.
EDIT: Changing APN isn't really working(Cant leave the APN type as not set because it auto sets it to internet+mms when I save) and I am starting to get a little frustrated. The reception was really working fine earlier today but now its just weird all over. Please help me out you guys, I really need this working.
EDIT2: Please help guys, I really need my service up for tomorrow.
EDIT3: I am going to AT&T today to swap out my SIM card!!!! I am all Odin'ed out and I will check back if this works.
First try to enable airplane mode. Then turn it off.
If that does not work check your apn settings, under wireless and network, mobile networks, access points

Doing that now.... The signal bar indicates no connected network.... Trying the second thing you suggested....
For the second option I am under Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/Access Points.
My options from there are AT&T 310 410(the text under it says wap.cingular)
What do i do from there?????
That reads correct. Unless you are on rogers. Hmmm. I am on the same rom but do not have the same issue. You may want to manually configure you're apn. You may want to search the captivate forum for at&t apn settings. I think you can find them in one of the stickies
I am on att dude. Thanks for the advice. You are positive its the APN though? This happened to me on Phoenix Reloaded too.

No I am not sure, I have not had your problem but this is where I would start if it did. The apn settings are posted in the captivate development stickies, captivate directory
Okay, so I configured the APN settings to what was found in the thread. Problem is the only thing I cannot configure is the APN type. Hm. Any help?
I am sorry I hope someone who has done this reads this and has a suggestion but I have not had to do this
Read through the sticky, maybe yet has been discussed
Read through it and nothing. It wont let me keep the APN type as not set and it automatically sets it to internet+mms. Any ideas?
Have you posted in the andromeda thread? Maybe the devs may have some ideas
I just did, hopefully they have an answer and if they dont hopefully someone will post an answer here....
I had the same issue back a few weeks ago. I called att, got a replacement phone, and it did it again. Turned out to be a bad SIM.

So do I just need a new sim card???
Well, this sim card JUST started doing this. So are you sure it is just the sim? I mean, if I go to the store to get a new sim, will they ask to see my phone? Will I have to flash back to stock before I get a new SIm?

Do you think the person in the store will have any idea what a custom rom is? Chances are they will change it no questions asked
Okay, do you think I should just play it safe and reset to stock though?
There is no harm in doing so.

Well, thanks, I will head first thing in the morning.
I got the same problem at certain locations, such as my university. Haven't been able to get much help... Gonna try getting the SIM changed as it's a pretty old SIM. Weird thing is that it works fine on my Sony Ericsson G705/W715.
So almost two months of owning my Captivate that I got from Rogers (BNIB from Kijiji) and I noticed that at a certain area in my school, I have 3/5 bars of signal yet I can't seem to text/call and use the network. Is this a network problem or phone problem? Or can it also be my SIM? My SIM card is pretty old. However everything was fine when I use my Sony Ericsson W715 in the same area.
I should add that my friends on the same network beside me, they can text/call fine, which leads me to believe that this is a phone problem. A poster over at Howard Forums suggested network congestion, but it seems impossible because everyone else can use their phone fine.
I've tried different modems too, but it doesn't help. It's like my Captivate doesn't want to work at certain areas of my school.

I am just going to change my SIM. It is about 4 years old now and I think that means it needs to be replaced. I actually worked fine at my home before and now it cant even find a network. I am going to head out for a new SIM in a little bit, I will get back to you on if it works then.
Hello, everyone, I'd like to share my experience, get any help if someone can, and warn some future people.
So a few months ago i rooted and ROM swapped my HTC one. It was great, I loved it, it was fast and simple.
I tried to change the ROM on it the other day and everything went down hill form there. Basically I ended up having no service and everything else seeming to work fine. So after spending an entire day trying to fix it with BD619, i had to call my carrier today. Now i have the sprint phones, and the sprint service, but i have Credo as a carrier. God knows why. They essentially gave me nothing saying my phone must be bricked and they can't help me.
One thing they did try however was to have me put in a ##xxxxx# number, and there i saw and could edit my MDN and MSID, instead of showing my my phone number and the MSID number they both had "No" written. So he had me edit it and put it in, but when i click "commit changes" it said "commit failed" so if anyone knows anything about that or could help me there, it'd greatly appreciated.
Lesson is, even if you think you know what you are doing, and are careful, weird stuff can happen, and if you have an Odd carrier version of an already less support model of phone (the sprint version), then be EXTRA careful.

Yes, twice
This is not an uncommon problem but it happens with certain HTC ones and not others. I have helped a few other people with this issue. Most likely, your current ROM is set to RUIN/SIM in Settings-> More-> Mobile Network -> Subscription settings. It needs to be set to NV. If you can't get to this setting, you need to flash a ROM that has the setting available. CM 10 based ROMs all seem to have it. If your phone does not automatically reactivate, you can flash to a stock ROM and use the handsfree activation function and that should get you back up.

Okay so i just flashed a CM 11 build. and Holy S*** I have ******* service! I cant make calls, it says it's not authorized. And i don't see the option you were talking about, in mobile network, i see , Data Enables, Data Roaming, Preferred Network type, System select, (then grayed out) Access Point Names and Network operators, (then not grayed out) carrier settings. When i click carrier settings it says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped. and it takes me back a screen.
where do i go from here?

Try flashing a CM10 ROM. I've always seen the option there. The kitkat ROMs I have used do not have the option except for the Nocs GE.

The only way something like this happens is one of two things.....
1. Ur a noob
2. Your a dev and your testing ril on your rom
The only way to fix this which is a cleared meid of some sort......flashing cm10.1 is the only way and aquiring service by switching to nv....once there everything is fixed just flash/restore back to your rom.

i'd kinda like to argue a point here as this just happened to me. i am certainly not new to flashing, starting back with the mogul and having almost every sprint smart phone since then unlocked (windows) or rooted (webos and android).
Using TWRP and previously running ecliptic 4.3 i wiped caches, system and data then installed the 4.4.2 from team d3rp and voila... no service no meid no nothing.... yes i have the latest radio on my phone.
i guess my point in this is that there's a number 3 that you didn't mention.
3. sh!t happens and it's not n00b related.
for anyone else that has this issue... flashing CM 10.1 worked for me. i didn't even have to set up anything, it just picked up signal. so i rebooted, wiped and nandroided back to 4.3 and all is well.
Did you flash a rom that was meant for another carrier?

I didn't... it was SuperOneK. i'm certainly not blaming the rom though. especially not when others are flashing it fine. the ONLY thing i can think of possibly happening is a bad download. I was in a rush and didn't check the md5.
I had a similar problem when flashing miui. Nothing worked. Even went back to a sense backup and nothing worked.
Commit failed as well.
Here's what I did to make it work again.
Flashed cm10. Change the network settings for CDMA. (Boom it SAID I had service..but didn't).
Rebooted a few times (probably not necessary).
Flashed a sense 4.3 ROM that was close to stock.
Update msl and all that. Commit.
For me..changed LTE/CDMA to just CDMA (no 4g in wv).
Boom it worked again. Hope this helps!

My phone out of nowhere started doing this really fun thing where it drops to roaming at random. From what I can tell, the phone is not making a handoff to the next tower to avoid the roaming. For example, if I'm sitting under a tower with full 4G, everything is fine. If I have 2 bars, it will work in 4G for a while before dropping to 3G roaming. I am able to force it back into 4G by dropping in and out of Airplane mode.
I'm running the official CM11 4/30 nightly (I was on the March Snapshot until this started happening).
First I used some Google-Fu and found it's most likely a bad SIM. I swapped SIMs with my wife, she was stuck in 3G roaming, awesome! Went to Verizon, the switched the SIM, all good, right? Nope, I didn't notice it right away, left the store and thought all was good until I needed to use internet at work.
Next, I thought it was software, so I created a backup, and dirty installed the newest CM11 nightly. No change, so I did a full wipe and install. No luck.
So next I thought maybe the radio was corrupted, so I tried to update the radio, which didn't go so well. I got stuck in a boot loop and had to sideload the old driver and reflash. So I'm back up but still having this problem. I'm thinking my only thing I can do at this point is to go to stock and see if the updated radios make a difference.
I saw another guy is had the same problem, but he had his phone replaced. I'm not sure if that will work for me since I purchased via Swappa (I do have Asurion insurance though).
So what help do I need?
1) Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
2) Are there any good instructions out there for how to flash to stock?*
3) Are there any good instructions on how to re-root and flash back to a custom ROM once taking the newest OTA?*
*Most of the instructions I've found have been pretty confusing and use a lot of acronyms without explaining them. I'd be willing to write some cleaner instructions for a sticky if someone would be willing to help me out with any questions I have.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate any help offered.

I'm fairly certain it's hardware. I spent a day using my Galaxy Nexus - full 4G the entire day.
I went back to stock, "bricked" my phone about 3 times doing it (quotes because it was salvageable, but I had a couple hours where I was googling like a madman worried I dun ****ed up). Stock and the new radios made no difference. In fact, with stock it would only go to 4G if I restarted it - airplane wouldn't even bring 4G back. Figure that one out.
I went to the VZW store and I'm basically screwed. I can call LG and see if they'll replace it or use Asurion. Since I got the device off Swappa, they cannot replace it. They tried to order me a new one, but the system wouldn't let them. I don't really have time to call LG, so I'm probably going to Asurion it. Their process is stupid simple to do and they'll have a phone to me the next day. Then I can spend all day tinkering with it and getting CM11 back on, which I feel like I'm an expert at right now.
Sorry, wish I had better news. If you got the device from VZW, go to the store after flashing to stock. They might want to try swapping your SIM first though, so make sure you go to a store that has decent 4G coverage in its surrounding area.

Thanks dude. I think you are right, flash stock and get a new sim first. I have a hard time believing its a hardware problem. I just wrote this in the other post about roaming:
"Same exact problem here. I was on the phone with Verizon last night. I was running cloudy pro 2 (all his roms for that matter as they are international roms) and kept getting the roaming issue you speak of...with 3g. I went back to 11A completely bone stock. Just like you mentioned, I get 4g but then after like 10 minutes I get 3g with roaming. Of course this is after I spent 30 minutes on the phone with tech support. They 'zapped' my sim card and it appeared to work but no dice. Now before doing all this I downloaded build prop editor and changed the ro.build.target_country to US versus COM as everyone suggested in all the forums, still no dice. I've tried the toggle airplane mode trick...works for like 5 minutes and back to 3g roaming. I think maybe a new sim card and avoid international roms...bummer because cloudys roms are blistering fast. Interesting thing though, I installed xdabebbs rom and malladus' rom, after already running cloudys roms, and get 3g but no roaming. I also verified that Verizon wasn't throttling me or something like that. One more thing I tried is reflashing the basebands and 24A modem, no dice. If there is a build prop fix or some other fix I'd love to hear it.
Edit: One think I'd like to mention. When I had an S4 I switched between stock roms and AOSP roms and the network settings were responsible for causing the roaming because the stock rom was an older build than the AOSP. So when I had roaming, I'd reflashed the AOSP rom, changed the settings then flash the stock rom. It worked great. "
Edit#2: Ok making a little progress. Just did this:
Get a build.prop editor from the play store, and change ro.carrier to VZW and ro.build.target_operator to VZW and ro.build.target_country to US.
Initially it worked but when I make calls it gives me Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped and I cant make calls. I went into Settings, Apps, reset app preferences...that didn't fix it either.
4G/LTE is pretty solid now but again, I cant make calls.
Edit#3: Nevermind...roaming again.

Alright, so, I have some interesting news.
I got a replacement device from Asurion - not just a replacement, a brand new device out of the box. I pulled it out of the box, swapped the SIM, same exact issue .
I went to Verizon and *****ed up a storm. They basically said "you bought it on eBay, not our problem" (I actually did Swappa - but they don't know Swappa and they do know eBay).
So I got the guy in the store to do some digging, and apparently Verizon has a point opened up with LG as they're seeing this on more and more devices - especially since KK came out. So I figured I could try an older radio. The device was on 12B when it arrived. I just flashed stock to 10B and it's the same issue. I don't know what's going on at this point - nothing makes sense but its apparently a known issue that's been appearing since the KK update.
I'm going to call Asurion and request a new device again since this one is doing the same thing, we'll see what happens. I'm still leaning towards hardware and thinking there was a slew of bad radios that went out.
Just for giggles - and I have no reason whatsoever to think this will work. I'm going to swap out the new SIM that came with the phone. Originally, I just put in my old SIM since the new one was taking too long to activate. I'm having the exact same issue I had previously. With that, I'm going to leave the new SIM in and see if it has the same dropping issue. The guy in the store had mentioned he could swap out the SIM but after a few days it will crap out again... which makes zero ****ing sense. Because of that, I might as well see what happens if I pop a new SIM in. While again, this makes 0 sense, I'm wondering if maybe the phone is frying the SIM somehow?
Again, it makes no sense at all, but I have nothing else left to try other than getting Asurion to repeatedly send me phones until I find one that works or they replace for another type of phone (which I REALLY don't want). I'll drop an edit in an hour or so if what I try makes a difference.
Quick Edit:
I COULD just keep going to the VZW store and have them repeatedly swap out SIMs since it will fix it for a few days .
EDIT:
Got the new SIM installed and it's working. The guy in the VZW store told me that we can keep swapping SIMs and the same issue will happen, which again, makes no sense to me. I'm at a bit of a loss to be honest. I wonder if it's possible that my old device was frying the SIMs (again, makes no sense) and that maybe the new SIM not going in my old device will fix the issue.
What ROMs are you running? A phone frying a Sim does not sound likely at all. I got my new sim card and have been running xdabebbs ROM with no network issues. I feel like my issues stemmed from the Intl ROMs.

The only ROM I've ever run was CM11.
Same thing happened on stock though after flashing through the LG Flash Tool. Then, with the new phone from Asurion, used old SIM - 3G only. Used new SIM - 4G sticks.
Hello everyone,
Informations
Phone : Nexus 6
ROM : Euphoria OS 1.0 with included kernel
I have a little problem with the phone network...
I have just install the ROM (3days ago) and everything worked fine.
After the first reboot, I had a network problem: no more network (just phone)
Bluetooth is OK,Wifi also ect...
No extra apps installed.
Any idea?
Thanks
Edit : French phone/network (FreeMobile)
I am having issues over here also. My data randomly stopped working on my way down to memphis, randomly would start to work again. I tried a new rom, it slightly got better, but would cut out of data every 5 min. Kinda got it better by switching to tmo in the apn's. Now just installed sinless, and it is no longer working again.
So, same problem and no fix...? :/
Holy cow! I thought I was the only one! I mean this problem really sucks(and I have wasted a lot of my hours trying to fix it), and have been thinking of creating a thread on this problem until I saw yours.
Okay let me start with what I'm on:
N6: 64gb blue
Rom: Stock
Rooted: Yes
Any other modification: No, only think I did was unlock and do chainfire su root.
Network: VZW
I have had this phone since Dec with no issues other than random reboot every so often.
Now to the problem I had, I went out to the middle of MO for a weekend get away (on Feb 14th). The whole time I was out there it showed 1x even though I was still getting LTE speed. Didn't think much of it until we moved further into the hilly parts of MO were I lost service. Thought it was just where we were at, and thought it would come back once we got back to the hotel we were staying at. It never did. It would say "No Network found" only allow 911 calls.
Spent the next 4 days working With VZW with several trips to the store, and talking to tech support. They made sure my IMEI was not blocked on their side. We used several sim chips, they would all do the same thing, quickly connect then disconnect and go back to no service.
So I did a factory reset, still didn't help. I finally did a fastboot flash of 5.0.1 stock again, this fixed the issue. Until I used titanium backup to restore my sys setting. Then it would drop and not reconnect after the reboot. So I did fastboot flash again and it hasn't happened again since last Thurs. I just restored my app's again to make sure it wouldn't fail to connect over the weekend, and rebooted several times. No issues so far, but I called Motorola and they are RMAing me a new one, because I don't have any trust in this one anymore. They are out of 64gb ones, and they will get back to me in a week.
Questioned to anyone who has gotten a RMA from Motorola:
Are their "like new" replacements okay? I got a few from them when I had my droid x, and they were crap. So I wasn't sure if that is still the same for the N6 or not. I have a feeling its not, but just wanted to get other peoples input on that process.
Thank you for creating this thread, and for everyone's time!
Edit: Had the same issue network wouldn't work, however WIFI, Location, Bluetooth would.
Check your APNs..... make sure you are on the correct one, and that both of APN protocols say IPv4.

APN is for Internet(3G) and MMS, no?
Because we have a phone network (call & SMS) issues.
On my side, APN are OK, but still don't work...
Edit: New !
Everything works fine on :
- Paranoid Android 5 Alpha 1
- Chroma (Latest)
But not work on :
- Euphoria
- Stock ROM
Edit 2 : It works now !!
I seen that I had several issues around the APN side. I mean, I can't add APN, sometime I can. Sometimes APN reseted themselves, sometimes it was OK. Then, I had read the solution above: security tab.
I had just remove my 3rd party lockscreen (HiLocker). Restart the phone and voilà ! After the reboot, my phone ask me the pin code, and all APN are here.
I hope it can help...!
Some times I will see the APN settings, and sometimes I won't. Right now I don't. When it does show up it shows VZWINTERNET selected. There are ton of other options, but they don't work either when the problem was seen.
Is what your experiencing data going in and out? I'm on Sprint and I thought maybe it was just an issue with Sprint. I have or need to read up more on APN because it does get bothersome. I even have issues where sometimes my SMS gets hung up for minutes in sending mode before they actually send. Would be nice to have this corrected.

The thanks should go to @Circaflex though... he told me how to fix my issue and thought it could be useful here. I'm glad it was.

No my whole problem was that it would drop and no matter what I would do wouldn't reconnect to the network. I tried a lot of things to fix it (see above). APN would appear and then disappear from the menu. Right now its working on the network as of last Thurs. and APN options is not there.

The APN option will not show for a CDMA Carrier, Sprint or VZW, in your case VZW. APNs are set by the Sim from Verizon so you shouldn't be messing with those, nor should the option show up under mobile network settings.
It was like you. Sometimes network was OK, and sometimes, it was down...
So current working theory is that it was a software issue that cause the problem. I'm just unclear as to why it happened, and how to stop it from occurring again . I do have OpenDNS enabled on the phone, could that cause the problem?
Heres my problem, I'll drop out of an LTE zone, and 3G/HSPA will come on line. Only if its on 3G I never get any data, and sometimes with HSPA too. Not until LTE comes back on line again, but then if I'm trying to stream say music 3G/HSPA wont let LTE take over again for a pretty long while.
