Hi everyone,
First my phone:
Xperia Arc
Unlocked Bootloader
Arc-Night kernel (latest release)
Arconium ICS (Latest release)
My Problem:
After flashing the new kernel and installing the new ROM everything worked fine, and on boot I was greeted with the usual SE setup app. I asked it to fetch the internet and mms setting and sure enough they were received and reported as being installed. I checked the APN screen and they are listed and are identical to the ones listed on my carriers website.
However, with WIFI turned off I cannot connected to playstore, internet etc and do not have any kind of data icon/symbol in the status bar.
I have tried:
disabling then enabling data via settings.
enabling then disabling airplane mode
restarting the phone
clearing all data/cache/dalvik then re installing rom
I have checked I have the correct baseband as per Devs recommendations
I have not tried:
yelling at it.
If someone can please suggest any possible solutions or even links to relevant materials.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Hope someone can help!
Haven't tried either the rom or kernel but try booting the stock ics kernel first, or doomlords ics kernel v4, then back to your current one.
OK, just tried as you suggested and installed doomkernel v4 then re-installed arcnight, no luck, still no data connectivity....and I lost wifi. haha.
To be honest, I'm not fussed what kernel/ROM i'm running i'm just exploring my options.
Can you recommend a kernal/rom combo that is known to fully work on the arc?
Flash it like this:
1. Flash DooMKernel
2. Go into recovery
3. Wipe cache + dalvik cache
4. Install Arconium ICS 1.1
5. Reboot and be happy
That's how I did it. I didn't wipe my data and settings...

And your 3g/2g data works fine? I will follow your instructions and get back to you.
I am also considering the apn details could be incorrect on the carriers website as I have experienced the same problem with a few roms now. Every time I follow the devs instructions to the letter and ensure to add any recommended modules and still no data connection. I really wish I had a different sim from another carrier to test this.
Yeah, works fine.
I upgraded directly from Arconium 8.1 with correct apns, so I didn't have to download them on ICS

Ok, now running:
Baseband 70
Stock Kernel with CWM (chose over doomkernel because of the included modules)
arconium ics
Once again all running perfectly excluding data connection. Considering the previous apn settings didn't work, I downloaded the new ones via the setup app and they reported as being installed.
still no data however.
Considering I just executed a complete re-install of everything possible (is there anything else i can flash and replace?) I'm thinking this may be a problem with my carrier/apn settings rather then the ROM/Kernel.
I really appreciate your help so far and if you (or anyone) can think of anything else I can try?
I'm going to start a new question thread regarding apn settings for my carrier (Crazy Johns/Vodafone) to ensure I'm using up to date and known working settings.

oK, i borrowed a sim card from my sister, who is on a completely different carrier and after setting it up....it had a 3g data connection! so the problem, logically, lies with my carrier and the apn settings.
So handy tip for anyone reading this in the future....if your having conectivity issues, check a different sim card in your phone!
Thanks for everyones help on this
Thanks for the info.

Try dialing ##3282# (you will need your SPC/ MSL code, which is unique to your phone)... OTHERS ... MMSC URL ... change the Sprint server listed in there to http://mm.myboostmobile.com
that would work but when i try that my setting will force close

I ODIN-flashed two versions of ICS (FC18 and FC24 - full wipe with restore to stock) and both times my 3G did not work. I could see the 3G icon and the green arrow sending, but the orange arrow never lit up, as if there was something wrong with the way I set up the DATA profiles. After going back to EL29 and restoring the DATA profiles one more time (using the exact same steps I used after installing ICS), my phone is running properly again.
To answer your question, I entered ##3282# and I was able to put the Boost server and saved the setting without any force close.
I also didn't like the fact that scrolling wasn't smooth in ICS as in 2.3.6...
When you updated your phone to ICS, did you do a full wipe to stock or did you keep your existing DATA profiles and settings ?

by what i did was just flash a ics rom via clockwork mod maybe i should try just flashing a stock ics rom what rom are you using by restoring data profiles do you mean re boost flashing the phone

If you flash your phone from 2.3.6 to stock 4.0 (full factory restore through ODIN, not through CWM) you will lose your Boost Mobile DATA profiles ... in other words, you would have to re-flash to Boost all over again... I can't confirm this will happen to you as well, but this was the second time I tried ICS and I had identical results.
NOTE: if you'll do a factory restore through ODIN from EK02 to/from EL29 or to any other 2.3.6 ROM version, then your DATA profiles won't get erased. It seems that it only happens when you upgrade to ICS 4.0
To make matters worse, 3G didn't work in ICS... after re-flashing the phone to Boost with all the DATA profiles the icon appeared, but the DOWNLOAD arrow never lit-up. The internet just didn't work... I didn't spend too much time trying to figure out what was broken, so I just put back EL29, re-flashed to Boost one more time and the phone returned to normal.
I will probably spend more time with ICS when Sprint comes out with the official release. If the net is still broken at that point, then I'll put the time to find a solution...but until then ...
Hi Everyone,
My Phone:
Lt15i
Baseband 70
Stock kernel with CWM
Arconium ICS
My Problem:
After going to a custom rom and kernel from a complete stock setup I cannot get a data conection on my phone. All other features work perfectly (Call, sms, wifi etc) just no 3g/2g data connection, or icon in the status bar. the Settings menu indicates it is turned on.
I have exhausted all available options regarding kernel/rom troubleshooting including a complete reinstall on the above rom/kernel. I also experienced this problem with other roms and kernels.
During setup I follow the setup app and download the apn settings for Crazy Johns (my carrier) and they report as being installed.
My question:
If anyone who is using Crazy Johns currently and has it working could please post their apn settings (text or screen shot whatever is easier) so I can compare these to mine and change as necessary.
Any and all suggestions for fixing this are welcome.

Yeah, tried getting it sent to me, entering it in manually, even tried entering various variations of it I had found on the net. Still no connection.
Everything worked perfectly when it was stock, and when i first flashed a new rom onto the phone (arconium 8.2 i think) it worked then too. but every rom since it hasn't.
I'm still quite new to this and my knowledge isnt too deep yet.
Could flashing roms or kernels effect the serial numbers of my phone or something and now my carrier doesn't recognize my phone?
I do still receive calls and sms...
It's got me beat!

Hmmm I think you phone is fine must be just the settings.
What does it say? Any errors? Can you grab a log too see if it says something there. Check my Sig for how to get logs etc.

Well props to you, you were right in suggesting it was settings related. I tried a different sim card from a different carrier and after following the setup procedure I had a 3g data connection. This of course means the problem lies with my sim card/carrier settings and not the rom or kernel.
I can not get any radio to work to make or receive calls! I flashed everyone out there and still can not make or receive calls. What method can I use do to get it to work? I flashed radio from TWRP with Factory reset, delvik and cache and then flash with no wipe and I just cant get that or any radio to work. I just get AT&T when I do a scan, which I use T-Mobile. When I choose search in settings in mobile networks, still nothing. When I try to use phone, it always says no network avail. and yes I have data box checked off. It just seams lately any Rom I flash after the newest stock, (JB) I have radio issues, can not make or receive calls. I even erased, wiped everything and started from scratch with stock. Phones works fine, but when I try any ROM, no calls, no matter what radio I flash. I must be doing something wrong. I must say, that I flashed many a Roms before and all worked well until now! I even download same radios in case I got a bad download. I can use kernels, such as Tiberius with Stock JB. I Flash a Rom and no radio, no matter what Rom. My version in stock is UVMC6, SGH T-989 phone. (T-Mobile). I know all phones are different and thought maybe something in stock files I might be able to use, but don't know which files. I am not a dev by any means and thought if I could use the stock I have now can work with the any Rom here. I never dirty flash anything, all Roms work that I flash from sd card, just not able to use phone in any Rom at all! I thought maybe I can manually put in APN, but I have no idea were to get address to enter. I am from Delaware if that matters as far as APN. Can anyone give any suggestions of what they did to get radio to work?

Verify your APN settings are correct. If there isn't a t mobile APN set up than try creating one. Also go to Settings > About Phone > Status and make sure your phone has a valid IMEI number (anything other than 0)

Thanks, yeah after all reading and troubleshooting it seems APN is where I have to create and/or edit! I found APN settings on Google and wrote down the settings that is on stock Rom where phone is working and will try it. Thanks for heading me in the right direction.

I've flashed Xperia Z Jelly Bean v4 (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267230&highlight=data) on my Arc S and I can say its so fast and so beautiful.
The only problem I have is that I cant connect to mobile data 3G however my APN settings are correct
I flashed BB-77 too as recommended by one of the users in the thread and it didnt work as well
So what should I do now ?
Thanks
Were you able to use the 3G connection before this ROM?
My current advice - Ask from your operator, if the 3G connection is enabled for you.

Well, if in the thread you downloaded it from was nothing more to flash, then nop.
I said it because in GB Roms you must flash an additional libraries, but i dont had used CM10 based ROMs so i can just can guess, check the baseband threads.
By the way, sometimes my phone "losses" the data connection for a while (the icon dessapear even if the data connection is active). It just happen like 2 times since a got it, but after some time it comes back.
Flash latest stock 4.0.4 and then install Xperia Z Jelly Bean v4.

Well, in the thread I flashed something called Xperia Arc S 4.1.B.1.13 Vodafone DE firmware and they said it's for increasing system and data memory for Arc user and latest BB. You think this is the problem ?!
the phone is not set to gsm only?
look at settings - more - mobile network - uncheck 2g
also look at the accesspoin and choose the right one
Guys please this is really urgent and I did everything I could
Last thing i did was flashing every stock thing on the phone, stock GB, stock kernel, stock baseband and nothing changed and data mobile is still not working
You can try to input the apn by yourself

Hello everyone,
I currently have an issue with my arc S (LT18i) where 3G doesn't work anymore on any Sony stock ROM. I am aware that my carrier supports the needed basebands, and I am in an area where my service has 3G with full signals. I have tried the following:
I have switched ROMs from ICS and Gingerbread & tried reflashing, but still 3G doesn't work. I have no problems with 2G however.
Changing kernels didn't help too. I normally use LuPuS, but the problem still remains.
I first thought it was a hardware issue, but then I switched to CyanogenMOD and MIUI, 3G works on both ROMs. So it's not a hardware issue.
I still do not know what the problem is. Can anyone help me out? This problem occured just after I flashed LuPuS kernel, and then returning back to stock kernel. Ever since then 3G doesn't work.
Hope I get a solution. Help is appreciated. Thanks!
Did you flash the correct baseband for the ROM? Each Android version works with a different baseband.

Never had problems with using various basebands on various ROMs. 64 worked fine on ICS, 77 worked fine on GB. No issues for me.

I used what comes in the .FTF itself. I even tried flashing with Sony's official flash tool for unlocked bootloaders. I'll try manually flashing basebands and switch them out to see whether that works.

Gotta check then.
Had you checked in what mode are you?
2G, 2G/3G Prefered, 3G only
Had you configured the APN Settings? In my phone it doesnt donwload anything from 3G/2G until i register the network.
Or perhaps you didnt do all the wipes and some remanent file is causing the problem.
