The Atrix HD doesn't have a removable battery. Do you mean you didn't power it off first? I once swapped a sim without powering off the phone and it did not cause any issues for me.

Yes... I replaced Sim while phone was powered on...
I know I can not remove battery

Metro uses cdma I believe. So that would be why there's no signal.

metro claims they can use att phones now , you need to change your apn to metro would be my best guess.

Make sure you add the Metro PCS APN settings

[Q] Rogers GTab Using Telus 3G Sim Card?

I have a Rogers GTab, rooted, but not unlocked or flashed. If I carrier/sim unlock it, can anyone verify if Telus provides a regular SIM card that I can use on their 3G network? If this is possible, do I need to have the SIM card in the unit to unlock or can it be unlocked without the different SIM.
I have the iPad using the Telus Micro SIM for 3G connectivity and would like to do the same thing with my Tab.
I have a Telus Plan but it's CDMA however; they just added the 3G iPad Flex plan to my bill.
Thanks in advance.
Any Canadians out there using the GTab with a Telus SIM Data Plan?
Sent from my GT-P1000R using XDA Premium App
Solved.
1) Went ahead and unlocked the Rogers GTab (via Roto instructions).
2) Grabbed a Micro Sim Adapter (bought downtown Toronto) and took the Telus Micro Sim from my iPad; installed.
3) Reboot.
4) Set up the following parameters for the Telus Network.

[Q] Really naive question about the HD and SIM cards

My employer provides me with cell service and to date hasn't cared if I use the Blackberry they provide or put the AT&T SIM in a personal phone. Provided I don't hassle the phone support staff with problems I created, of course. I've used the same SIM in 3 different phones over the past year and haven't had a single issue. I just got a used Atrix HD and discovered that it uses a micro-SIM instead of a regular size. I used a template and cut it down to size (and I think I did it correctly). I put it in the AHD and the SIM is recognized as AT&T but I cannot get data service. On first use with the bone stock ROM, I got a text message and was able to reply to it. Because I have no intention of staying stock, over the past two hours I've done the following:
Rooted
Unlocked bootloader
Installed the ATT-US_BuildA ROM
Wiped that and installed CM10.1 nightly from 05/16
I've not been able to get any data service and now the status is 'In service' for Service state, 'Disconnected' for Mobile network state, and 'Unknown' for Phone Number. Even after cutting down the SIM, I can put it back in my Blackberry and voice and data work just fine. Thus I know the SIM is healthy. Questions:
Is the mini-card slot in the AHD that finicky that a mm difference in card size will dork it up?
The SIM is several years old now. Is it obsolete for the AHD (not withstanding size)?
Are there any settings in the phone that I'm overlooking? The eBay seller was in the US but I do not know the original location of the phone.
Thanks for any advice you can provide. Unfortunately, I can't take it to an AT&T store because the account is my employer's. And my employer really doesn't want to deal with my issue that only exists because they were nice and turned a blind eye to me.
maybe you need to change your APN settings go to settings and under wireless and networks select "more...."
then mobile networks and then access point names select the menu option in the top right and select "New APN" and enter the info below

No problem glad to hear it worked.

[Q] gobbling up data

Just came from the rezound, upgraded to HTC one. The phone is only a week old, all stock, the data doesn't seem to be working right. Always getting connection timeout or just sits there, arrows on top don't even light up. I've gone thru 4 gigs in less than a week and I haven't done anything. Everything is unsynced and background data is restricted. Called Verizon and got some girl who wouldn't do anything but have me take out the SIM card. Any fix or any suggestions? I can also still return the phone, I'm still under the 14 day trial.

You could try installing something like 3g watchdog, or my data manager. It will tell you which apps are downloading/uploading, and how much they have used aswel.

[Q] Exclamation point, No mobile data, Lollipop

I updated my phone to Lollipop and now I have no mobile data, and it now always says "HOME" under the signal bars, and has an exclamation point to the right of the signal bars, I can make and receive calls however.
I have tried:
Deleting my APN and typing in a new one.
Used the "Network operators" to select a network, - it shows "HOME" and "AT&T", I have tried both, and "Choose automatically".
Removing my sim card, both rebooting with out a sim, and removing the sim and re-inserting with the phone running.
Removing my SD card, and rebooting with it removed.
Wiping the cache.
Factory reset.
Reboot in safe mode.
My boot loader is locked, no root, and I use Straight Talk.
This post lists the steps I took to update to Lollipop, as I had a Consumer Cellular version of the Moto G 2014.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59470751&postcount=114
Is there anyway to fix this without unlocking the boot loader?
If I have to unlock the boot loader, what steps would fix the problem?
Thanks.
I needed a working phone for today, and decided to unlock my bootloader and install a ROM, I decided on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/rom-titan-prime-romversion-1-0-beta-t3048786
unfortunately the problem remains, so what now?
I am thinking I may have to go back to KitKat
Are you absolutely sure you have the APN right? I have an XT1064 with Consumer Cellular on AT&T's network. I'm running Titan Rom Lollipop and I was having similar problems until I fixed the APN. Also, I've never even had to look at Network Operators setting to get data.

I got it fixed today, by changing the APN, but here is the strange thing, the APN I was using on the phone when I still had the Consumer Cellular KitKat ROM was this:

APN: tfdata

MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com

and it was working, I had mobile data and was able to send and receive texts.
But after the update to Lollipop that APN never worked again, now I am using this:

That's the APN I've always used. CC gave me 2 APN'S once, one for Data and one for MMS which I promptly ignored and combined both into one.

I had got the phone from eBay, and did a factory restore before I used it, and then installed my Straight Talk SIM and finished setting up the phone and replaced the "TFDATA" default APN with the Straight Talk APN, I did notice both APNs looked the same except the for name, I had believed at the time that the reason why both APNs were the same was that somehow the APN was stored on the SIM and recovered by the phone.
Yep, it looks like the APN I had to switch to seems to be almost exactly the same as Consumer Cellular's APN
