Go to settings > wireless and network > mobile networks
See whether "use packet data" has been checked
Open "access point names". There should be T-Mobile US APN. If not, menu > reset to default

Thanks for the advice. I tried all of that (use packet data already on and APN was T-Mobile US) and still had the same issue.

I called T-Mobile support and they eventually ended up changing my data plan to get it to work. I think the old one was only good for WINMO/RIM devices. They switched me over to the same data plan my wife has (same price but specifically for Android) and about 20 minutes later it started working.

My wife and I both upgraded our phones yesterday to the Blaze. While I was going from an HD2, she was going from the MyTouch 3G so hers was fine right off the bat.

I would've probably noticed the issue much earlier in the day but I knew I would be downloading a crapload of stuff so I've had my phone on wifi the whole time. It wasn't until I got everything setup and switched to data that I noticed the problem.

Hey guys, thanks for the hard work for this ROM. I know Blaze 4G needs more dev love.

I had the same issues with data not working and it kept saying I need to upgrade my data plan. I had the grandfathered 2006 smartphone data plan with no data cap. Eventually, I called T-Mo tech support and she wanted me to switch to a more expensive data plan with 2GB cap in order for data to work. I said I don't think so. She later gave me an analogy of using my old smartphone data plan to my new Android phone, to using a dirty pair of socks on clean feet. Wow, just wow...

I wonder if the old data plan will work on non T-Mo branded Android phone?

That's a good question. If i could afford it I would've bought a Nexus phone.

Luckily the android plan they switched me to was exactly the same as my old one. It has unlimited data at the same cost. The only difference was that the new plan is actually labeled Android. They originally wanted to switch me to one of those 2GB capped plans at a slightly higher cost but I said no way.

Does anyone know if there's a mod out there that works with this rom that will allow me to change the battery indicator to a percentage icon?

Here is battery percentage mod for this ROM only. It also includes Roboto font. I used UOT Kitchen. Nandroid backup before flashing with ClockworkMod recovery.

Awesome thanks!

I've run into an odd issue tonight. I rebooted my phone this evening and I lost data again. This time the "4g" completely disappeared from the status bar.

I had done a Nandroid backup yesterday when everything was working so I tried restoring it but no go. I may have to call again tomorrow.

I can only connect via WiFi now.

The download link gives me a 404 file not found error.

that happens to me sometimes and I go into airplane mode and back and it usually comes back. There may be a problem with data in your area.

Thanks. I checked my wife's phone and she has data. I also tried going into airplane mode and back and I still can't get the data back. Would one of those ad blocking apps possibly cause this to happen?

Right before I lost data yesterday the last two things I remember doing was rebooting my phone and downloading one of those ad blocking apps from the market. I granted it root access and after that it seems like my data was broken. I tried removing the app and using my Nandroid backup but still nothing. I might try reverting back to stock and see if that does anything. I've also tried fixing permissions but that doesn't seem to help either.

EDIT: What the heck? This morning I was going to go in and try reverting my phone so I was downloading the stock tar file. While it was downloading I decided to go back into recovery and try running the permission fix one more time. This time it worked! My phone is back pulling data from the network!

There was actually a data issue with T-Mobile last night...probably nothing to do with your phone.
