Well,my condition is under this:
First,I flashed the original SBF & rooted & unlocked BL & flashed CWM &did a full WIPE,then flashed joker's cm9,the newly build no.0700.
Then rebooted the photon,I've already got a working network &data.After a moment for the phone without any operation,the APN would be lost.Or even I turn the Airplane mode on/off,the APN will gone ,too.
That's annoying.
So I checked it out over the internet,and found a link:
h*t*t*p(sorry for a none URL permission)code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4234&can=1&q=apn%20lost&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Version%20Model%20Network%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars%20Priority
They encountered the same problem and had already been resolved.So please who can help me with this issue on photon?Thanks a lot.
Sorry for my poor English.
Using a rooted file browser (I use Root Explorer), go to data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases (or it might be labeled 'db') and delete telephony.db. Restart the phone and you should have your APN's back. If you don't, you have a problem with apns-conf.xml.

Hey,I think it should be useful.
Sometimes i shutdown the phone for a while,maybe five minutes or so,to let it shutdown completely.Then power on,the apn usually appears,and network works fine.
The pull-down menu shows that service is "中国联通"。Next time I turn on/off airplane mode,the APN must be lost,and the pull-down menu shows "chn-cugsm",which i've already defined in spn-conf.xml。So I guess there are something wrong with the RF or SIM mechanisms,when the phone wake up from airplane mode,it can't get the really MCC/MNC,and of course the Apn will disappear.
Under this condition,when i make a call for a long time ,the phone will show:"No SIM or SIM card error".But both phone call and SMS work fine.Weird.

So I have had this issue with my phone today where I couldn't seem to get passed the Too many pattern attempts screen.
After trying all my combinations of e-mail and passwords, I was unable to access my phone. As a result, I attempted to do a hard reset (the pressing of both volume rockers and then trying to reset it in that recovery mode).
I did so, wiping all my data, but the too many pattern attempts screen remained. So as a result, I booted up Odin and downloaded the stock versions of the Samsung Fascinate's ROM and proceeded to reflash (or what I believe to be reflashing, I simply followed the directions found in the stickies).
That all said and done, my phone still remains in the too many pattern attempts lock.
I've checked the similar posts on a couple of websites, but was unable to find a situation where all of these fixes did not work.
Thank you!
No replies yet, so I am just going to throw this out there on the off chance that it *might* actually work.
The "complete voodoo lagfix removal" uninstall.zip CWM flash seems to be working as a cure-all for just about whatever may ail your phone, whether you actually *have* voodoo or not...
I would check that out in the OP of this thread.
Download the Voodoo Uninstall on your PC. Copy it to your SDcard (if you don't have a computer that you can put the card in after pulling it out of your phone, try using adb to push it to the phone)
Boot into stock recovery, and flash "update.zip" to get into CWM recovery.
Flash that voodoo uninstall zip using CWM.
I really hope this helps. (Just in case it happens to me. )
Let us know!
I work for flextronics. we see this all the time. it's a known issue that the lock screen doesn't reset with a factory wipe. just call the phone, answer and press the home screen button. it's what we do in store

This is more than likely living in /dbdata . You can wipe that by doing a privacy wipe in settings (requires access to the phone), or flash CWM via odin, and then when in recovery, rm -r /dbdata/ and reboot.
If the phone-call / home button thing else_where posted works, obviously go that route, then do a privacy wipe.

you will more than likely need to mount the /dbdata partition r/w before you can delete the data. This is covered in the Voodoo removal thread (which I had the joy of doing).

Hey guys thanks for all the help,
The calling of the phone didn't work. Tried it, but it kept giving me corrupt errors so I wasn't able to access the home screen.
The voodoo removal sort of worked in that while I was doing it, I also went ahead and did a privacy wipe. Everything would be fine and dandy however, my phone no longer connects to any network. It seems to be in a perpetual state of being unable to find a network. It's not airplane mode, but my phone does think it's January first 2005 again.
Did I miss a step?

Yes indeed I did. The first thing I did was the Factory data reset.
Unfortunately, the phone seems to be in a state of perpetual ariplane mode preventing access to any network.
The phone also seems to be suffering from that com.android.phone crashes that I suppose make sense given how the Hardware version and the Baseband version are both unknown.
I'm going to try to flash it again in hopes of resetting my phone. The perpetual airplane mode is of course an issue. (but at least I got the alarm functinoality of my phone back)
Hrm, I'm concerned now. Check your settings / about phone and baseband version. Please tell me it does not say 'unknown'.
Yea, mine wasn't stuck in airplane mode, just didn't connect to google's servers to set up gmail.
If you're still rooted, maybe try the radio update ????
Any update ????

DANGER! - Don't go updating your radio unless you really know what you're doing. Yes there has been a radio update with the D01 however flashing the wrong thing to the radio will result in a shiny brick that as of right now can't be recovered!
Yeah I was seeing a bunch of unknowns in a lot of my slots.
I wasn't sure what was wrong, so I did some more research and it seemed as though that the modem aspect of my phone must have corrupted.
So I simply went to a verizon store and swapped out my phones (since I couldn't find a fixed modem).
The other fix of deleting via the privacy wipe definitely worked though.
Thanks everyone!
i500 fascinate too many patterns
what I did I turn the phone off
then turn it on ones the one verizon animation goes of it asks for the email and pass so start hitting home button as fast as you can and sometimes emergency button till it takes you to the main many do not stop till al the icons load up
then you got it but you have to go in to the menu and wipe it off or erease the email account
it worked for me after few tries it shoulg work for you too

Here is what happend:
So this is my sisters phone and Im trying to fix it for her. The phone was locked when our little sister failed to open it too many times (my sister had the graphical lock enabled). My sister then took it to a phone store which managed to fix the lock (updating it from 1.6 to 2.1) but in the same process they somehow managed to make the phone block calls and text. They told her that it had "been blocked"..?
She after that she cant send or receive texts, cant make or receive calls but she can surf via 3G.
What is wrong?
Here is what I've tried:
I'm a big andriod noob since Im a iphone user but I can use google and I've jailbreaked/unlocked iphones many times.
So I've tried both to re-flash (with flash tool) the phone and to restore it with SEUS. None worked. First after using the Flash tool the phone got stucked in a boot-loop. At this points I tried SEUS but it would just get stuck and then tell me that the restore had failed. At last I managed to get back into a working phone when I went down to 1.6 using ROOT_F3V3 (I dont know if I did the whole flash procedure right but right but when it was done the phone started fine but the text and call issues persisted). So then I tried SEUS again and this time it worked so now I got a fully updated and restored phone. BUT STILL: it cant text, make or receive calls. Is there any next step? Any method which I haven't tried yet? I stumbeled upon something called xRecovery. Could that help me? Or is the phone pretty much bricked...
Please help me

Try it with a different sim card to make sure that it's not something related to the mobile account.

Since 2.3.3 stock update i haven´t been able to access the internet,logging on to fb,gmailaccount receive/send MMS, I just get no network connection, failed to download APN setting for my phone. I have tried sending APN setting from my operator to my phone still no success. I have tried manually entering the APN settings i found for 3 Sweden. Still not working.
I´m able to access fb,gmail and all data connection trough WiFi,
Been like this since 2.3.3 update and i have looked but haven´t been able to find answer. I have also tried to repair/reinstall 2.3.3 x number of times.

So if anyone has some tips or tricks that would able me to fix this problem. I would be very greatful.
Thx
edit: sms and phone calls work fine.
Have the same problem here in America. No answers on my thread either...
Hello
This happened to me, if you go into xrecovery and factory reset your problem will go but before you do this sync your contacts so you don't lose them and back up your data with titanium backup
already did factory reset and almost all wipes but no data still.. someone?
I made a post about this a few weeks ago and got no replies either.
I am using the latest EWJET ROM from Eric, with an unlocked bootloader and i have two questions,
1) Is it possible i have physically damaged the phone to cause this problem? (I'm guessing it cant be the rom's fault if others have same problem with standard Gingerbread OS?)
2) If i do a factory reset, will i have to go back through the process of re-installing the custom rom and unlocking the bootloader?
Here's hoping i get some reply this time...
Scotspaul674, installing custom ROM via xRecovery or CWM, and flashing via FlashTool does not influence the status of the bootloader.
After full wipe you mast reinstall custom ROM. Do not reboot, or you will lose access to xRecovery.
i solved the problem like this, i went to the data settings and i put wcdma(prefered)/gsm as my default setting, then chose the correct acces point and chose the right network operator, try doing that maybe this will solve it
Ok, so I managed to get mine working today, I really didnt fancy doing a factory reset so I tried downloading settings via settings/Sony Ericsson, and it worked
Can't believe I didn't try this before.....
Good luck to the rest of you..

It's not from the SE site, just press menu on your phone and select settings, this will bring a menu up and at the top of the next page is a Sony Ericsson option. Click this then the only option shown (I think) will be download settings, select this and hopefully you'll be sorted.
Good luck
had the same problem after updating my xperia x10 to 2.3, so what I did was go to settings, wireless & network, mobile network and click data enabled. not sure what I did but where the incoming and outgoing arrows are there is a H above them now instead of 3G. but it seams to work ok.

Thank you, but tried that already, cant receive the settings..
I was looking to upgrade my x10 to the actual version of x10. the 2.3.3 version it was not out in my country, so i got the worldwide version (the .ftf file). i flashed it with flashtool. it worked perfectly, but the 3g wont turn on no matter what i do, im with rogers, i choose 3g-rogers. it connects, my data is on, roaming is on, but it just doesnt turn on, doesnt show in the statu/notification bar, that it is on like it did before. so i used the pc companion and put the 2.1 back in, it still has the same problem, i put the latest wolf rom, 2.3, and it dont work, no matter which rom I choose. Please help me, give me any suggestions, i need 3g for my work, etc. thanks!
Check your apn settings, if they are not present then you'll have to enter them manually. Use Google or search the forms here for the proper Rogers apn settings.

Or try the Sony Ericsson tab from the settings menu, you can download your courier's apn settings there.

I had the same problem, flashing to a stock 2.3.3 ROM and then the data connexion wouldn't work. What I did was to install Wolfbreak's TW Custom ROM then immediately applying a custom kernel patch. It worked fine from there.
I don't know if this will help at all but i had the same problem a month ago. what was causing my problem is that my limit of my package was over and i did not have any more credit on my phone (prepaid contract). so 3G would not connect unless i had credits (That's what my carrier told me). so i put credit on my phone but 3G still would not connect. it was kind of "stuck" because my credit was out. so i kept my credit and flashed a new rom (WB's rom). i put the APN manually and my problem was fixed.
So my problem was caused by my credit limitation. once i let my phone without credit 3G would not connect again unless i put credit and reflash the rom again... Crazy huh?
Every case is specific, however i hope it helps you in any way...

You need to set up your wireless apn go to menu/settings/sony ericsson/settings download then wait a few you will see it flash on then go to back button/wireless & networks/mobile networks/network mode/gsm/wcdma preferred (click it)/access point name there should be two, one wireless/one mmsc. if for some reason you have three make sure that the top one (the house icon 3g) is checked or you will be roaming
And always remember to backup your Settings an APNs,and anything else you need to keep.
Although some of these are free it is always the best to get the pro/key of the apps for more functions and to support the Developers.

Is the phone an x10i or x10a? It could be a radio problem, like mine in which I have an x10a but I'm on T-Mobile which only supports EU bands of the x10i.
Hello
I have problem after install new official 2.3.4 rom KH3 and KH1. No 3g connection
When i try add NEW APN i have crash window SORRY: process com.android.settings force closed.
I already try trick with APN backup and restore , no changes. .
Phone now CSC XEU. before it was 2.3.3 it MOT (unlocked and rooted )and modem BUKG1
any help ,maybe root and some operations with files ?
More info
After change CSC to any other ( code 272 ) and reboot 3g started and no problem with add new APN. After next reboot error return back and no 3g
Hi Filant,
I was having same problem. Getting error on clicking on ADD apn. Would loose APN everytime I switch phone off, and be unable to add APN !! Only solution was a factory reset and not switching phone off...
Phone is galaxy s2. Problem started on updating firmware to 2.3.4.
The solution I found is to go into applications and find app simtoolkit. Force stop this and then go back into your APN settings and it should work. You may need to turn data - Use Packet Data on and off, and possibly manually select the network operator. Have lost track of exactly how these were set.
I guess my problem is that I have a very old SIM card (8yrs plus).
Hope this works for you as well - it was driving me crazy

APN error: process com.android.settings force close
Hi Tino, Hi Filant, I have started to face the same problem (APN error / completely lost 3G data) right after upgrading from 2.3.4. to firmware 2.3.5, the information mentioned on Tino's post was really very helpful, I think i'm half way there to solve the problem.
although I restored my phone to factory settings (that was before reading the post), same problem occurred after the first reboot. the question now, do i have to contact my network operator and change the SIM card as i think it is also quite old, will this help in solving the problem, i'm really bothered, i was having hell of problems with S1 and now hard times with S2, gonna lose my mind, and i would like to know what you have done both to overcome this issue
Apn error
Hi all, I've changed the old SIM card, and I'm no more facing this problem no matter if I restarted the phone or even removed the SIM and put it back. It's all OK now
