No 3g after using ICS

[GuestX0019]

I have been on both ICS roms for awhile recently on Texas Ice with p8, new kernel. Lost 3g, only have 2g or wifi.

Went back to MeDroid 6.1 which was rock solid--no 3g

Back to CM7 no 3g

I did the *# method/redid apn's/called tmo/did Network Operators/flashed new radio--same as I had--.12 and also tried .08

Short of passimg, not sure what to try--don't know that passimg would do anything anyway.

I have occasionally had 3g pop up then it disappears

Sons phone has 3g, so not an area issue

Anyone have and solve this or any other ideas--this is first time I have had and not been able to resolve--yet

EDIT: Oops--meant this to be in Q&A--can it be moved--

Have you tried a complete wipe? Short of that, I'm not positive. I am running MeDroid ICS and my 3g and H are running fine. I have not tried the TexasIce flavor with the new kernel since it says it's not ready to be a daily driver.

 

[GuestX0019]

thanks

I wiped all and restored several diff roms and reflashed a fresh ICS 6.1

At a loss atm

As you seen, I have had the same problem. On evervolve's ROM it was working fine for me. I just flashed it to try it, no restore. I tried several reboots with changing the carrier settings but no luck. I noticed this on the MeDroid test ROM only so far.

try to install 4ext recovery, do a full wipe in the wipe menu, you will found it in the last option by scrolling, and try cm7 or even the stock android first, if its working we will test other things

 

[GuestX0019]

mine started on T's rom

called tmo--no luck

almost sounds like they did something--but that makes no sense

you saw all that i did--so at a loss barring passimg--that doesn't sound like a solution

got to call it a nite--maybe it will return tomorrow--yeah right--

 

[timbit123]

if you thing its your provider, try another sim card from a friend

i already went back to cm7--see my first post for all things done

after all i did do you think 4ext recovery will have any affect--

gotta go early day--

thanks for any assistance tim

will my son's mytouch 4g sim work--?

i may go to store and ask for another one--what do i lose or need to do if switching sims--

yeah 3g or 4g its only what the cellphone signal can take. sim card should be the same (now we can find micro sim card)
4ext because I know they have a good wipe, format script that wipe everything.

otherwise, it could be your sim card. I know that sim card have a life time, mine worked only one year, and burned after that, I had to bough a new one.

I use temasek's extreme wipe 3x and still do data and all else in recovery 3x--wipe should be good--redid sdcard too with sdformatter

doesn't the carrier need to change my info if i swap or get a new sim

 

[timbit123]

yeah they have to link your phone number with the new sim number in their system. if the problem is the sim card.
that's why i suggest to try another sim card, try your son's one if he have a data package. putting another sim card will only temporary have his phone number and data plan and will not change any configuration of your phone

 

[GuestX0019]

i was going to try that, but he has a sim lock code and we don't remember what it was, so some research required first

only thing that seems odd is several people have same issue and on tmo--unless they have data on other roms--

 

[GuestX0019]

new sim seems to have done the trick--fingers crossed--

wasn't much left to be wrong after all i did to troubleshoot last nite

phone system info shows umts:3

just have pesky voicemail icon in status bar, but no voicemails and can't get rid of it-- (FIXED)

thanks for all help guys--

Well, it is not solved

Had 3g all day after new sim till I got home and got on Chrome to Phone and Chrome Beta, then no more 3g, only Edge.

Mattter of fact that is the only thing different the last two days is Chrome Beta.

Hate to get another sim just to prove theory, which I don't see how Chrome can cut out my data connection.

Back to square one--

 

[GuestX0019]

Back to Temasek's Kang for now, but 3g seems to work on road and at work albeit low signal at work. Only edge at home. Turned off router and wifi, no help.

Son's mytouch has 4g so it must be a new location issue at my house and my phone can't deal with the lower reception or something changed on my phone's reception. Not sure--

Either way it is now workable and will test for awhile and go back on ICS, no more Chrome Beta though. I am superstitious--
