Annoying problem that started yesterday: on cell signal the bars are white and I've got no data connection, but on WiFi the bars are green and I've got connection.
Originally, I was running CyanogenMod 7.1. I checked the data settings, I did a battery pull, I wiped the phone and reinstalled Cyanogen, and I wiped the phone and installed a rooted stock N1 ROM. I even grabbed a ROM from MoDaCo and updated the baseband to 5.12.00.08. Still no data on mobile.
No dice all around. Anyone know of anything else I can try? I really hope it isn't a hardware problem with the radio, because I'm out of my warranty.
Green means you are in connection with the Google server (so you can access market sync gmail etc) and white means you only have connection to the internet. This is a feature that was added in on gingerbread.

I installed CM6 onto my sister's Hero as well as my mom's Hero. My Mom's Hero works fine but my sister's will not connect to the 3g network! I have gone through and turned on/off all of the network settings and can't get it to re-enable the data services. Wifi works, calls/text work, just not the internet connection over the mobile network. I tried flashing Fresh to see if that would work and I get "Data Call Failure - Error Code 67 .Registration failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again." repeatedly. The 'Mobile Network' in the settings menu in Fresh stays stuck on "Turning on...". I don't get that error in CM6, however. I've tried reflashing/wiping as well with no luck. Is the 3g radio separate from the radio that does calls/texts? Is there a way to check it? I don't want to tell her that I broke her internet connection :/
What radio are u using on that phone? And what all have u wiped?

I was using the most recent radio I believe, 2.42.01.04.27, and I tried wiped everything in recovery. I continued searching for an answer and was able to find a thread that solved my problem! http://androidforums.com/sprint-her.../13197-data-call-failure-error-code-67-a.html
I just had to go into system updates in about phone and perform a 'profile update'
When I first setup her phone she couldn't remember her gmail password so we reset it and she was able to log in. I completely forgot but her 3g worked for that day! the NEXT day we noticed it wasn't working and it stayed like that for a few days until I was able to fix it now. She set up her gmail account at the sprint store when she first got her phone, could her gmail password somehow be related to her PCS username/password so that changing it screwed up her ability to login into the sprint PCS service? I'm still confused as to why this happened on her's but not on my Mom's phone, and never on my phone!
I had this happen saturday night,, running dd 2.8.. data would not start for nothing.. I nandroided back.. and all is good!!
I went to my parent's cabin this weekend and while I was there my phone, Hero running AOSP 2.2 with Colin's Battery Tweak and Firerat's Custom Partition, lost 3G data connection. Reception there has always been spotty, but I've never actually lost my data connection. I had nothing including 1X and the symbol disappeared. I could still make phone calls and text. The real oddity here is that my wife's phone, the very same as mine, didn't have this issue. On the drive home as soon as were got into a better reception area everything was fine. I thought about updating my PRL as a solution, but was unsure if something else might be at play here. Any ideas? Thanks for your insights!

Just because you have the same exact phone doesn't mean reception will always be the same.
Updating your PRL is a good idea, however.
I turned on my phone this morning and tried to connect to YouTube but the connection to the server timed out. The same thing happened with all of my other apps that require a data connection except for Google+ and the browser (which will load the default Google home page and nothing else). I definitely have a data connection because there is a 3g icon in my status bar. I'm not sure if this will help. But the 3g and the signal icons are normally green but they are currently white, which has nothing to do with my location. I tried wiping the cache but it didn't work. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Thanks.
What's your phone set up (rom or any tweaks). Usually if your running a 2.3 rom the white means that your not connected through ur gmail or google talk i believe. Check your settings go to settings>account&sync> make sure background data is checked.

Can you make phone calls? If you try and call and get a message saying "error 16", you will need to call sprint and have them reset you to a tower. I've had to do this twice recently. Check to see if your PRL reverted to an older one. I tried to just do an update of the PRL, but that didn't work...had to call Sprint. You will need to be on a Sense Rom in order for the process to work. I use/d a NFX version.
If not, do the advice from above to make sure that your data is turned on and that things are syncing properly.
I can make phone calls and my PRL is 60665 but I have no idea whether or not that's outdated. I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3, so if I need to call sprint I'll just flash the stock HTC Hero ROM and Sense UI that's on their website. Background data is checked but once I had the problem, I've turned off all data connections because they drain battery and they're useless to me at the moment.
Ok, first up - Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM, custom kernel (HydraCore v4.3), nothing changed on phone recently prior to this occurring.
Some time during the night (presumably) my Note has decided it does not work when it comes to mobile data. On waking I found the stock weather widget had not updated, the stock browser would not load any pages and the Facebook app said could not connect. Over wifi, these all work fine. Calls and SMS work fine. The weird thing is the status bar indicates I'm connected to H+, H, or 3G, and the upstream and downstream indicator arrows light up whenever an app tries to access the net as though all is fine. I find it odd that this has happened without anything being changed or touched on the phone, and with it working flawlessly for months with the current setup.
The website for my provider indicates no faults located either at home or work, could this still be network related?
Short of loading ICS again, I've tried everything I can think of. Cycle power, double check and toggle all data/network settings, reset APN, etc.
Just thought I'd check here for any ideas or a simple fix I may be overlooking before I go flashing ROMS (which may or may not fix it).
Thanks for any help,
Nick
Did you try with another sim card dude.

That might be an EFS partition corrupt, go to settings >> about device >> status >> IMEI
see if your IMEI is there or not
I have been using Joker Rom without fail until recently when suddenly upon installing GTA3 and checking email my phone just lost its 4g bar. The bars went from blue to white.
Reboots do nothing.
Stock rom is in the same mess.
Did you happen to disable wifi? I know it sounds stupid, but I had to get rid of Batakang because my mobile data would turn off every time I disabled wifi, and would only turn on when I re-enabled wifi..
