[Xperia Mini ST15i] no 3G icon and cannot connect via mobile internet - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Greetings
I have an Xperia Mini st15i.
The problem is that the phone never shows the E,3G,H icons,
and cannot connect to mobile internet.
(via wifi it works ok).
Initially the phone had the Android 2.3.4 firmware.
The initial update to firmware 4.0.4 build 431 was done using the phone itself.
I had read somewhere that this way,
some problem might occur during the update via the phone
and this causes the 3g,etc icons not to appear
And they suggested to re-flash the phone to build 587, doing a factory reset.
That's why I have (successfully) flashed it from build 431 to ST15i_4.1.B.0.587_Unbranded.ftf using flashtool.
(I've also checked the option during the flashing, to "Reset customizations"=factory reset).
But, it didn't help
The internet settings in the device are ok, I've doublechecked them manually.
And, in Settings>About phone>Status, it shows indeed 3G.
(and generally, the 3G signal here is strong: other phones in the house, using the same or other carriers, all show 3G or Η icon all the time)
I've tried putting other SIMs (of the same or other carrier) in the phone, but didn't work.
What do you suggest?

Will it help to do a factory reset via the phone, too? (Settings>Backup & Reset>Factory data reset)
Is it enough?
Or should I do a factory reset via the phone and then re-flash build 587 ?

Do a factory reset if that wont help then repair your phone via Pc Companion or Sony Update Service

I've just re-flashed it using Sony Update Service and it was fixed.
Thanks a lot.

try installing a different rom?
me too have the same problem.I flash using bin4ry flashtool.My x10 mini lost network.Please help me.I want the phone back.
i dont realy understand
Check you've installed the correct firmware and not transformed your 'international' device into an 'american' one. It sounds to me like the device cannot pick up your native network. Double check where you've got your ROMs from and read through the forum pages.

try this thread right here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181453
i tried this thread.in seus.it shows as there is no software available for this phone.what to do.please help me
did you try the factory reset yet?use the one in the the xrecovery.If it does not resolve your problem, try some other option like "Wipe Cache Partition", "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Battery Stats", all in the xrecovery,some them are in the "advance option" of xrecovery
If you can not access xrecovery, try the reset option in the setting of android
remember to backup everything before doing this!!
i tried this too.still having the problem.any other solutions

[Q] Data access not working

I have searched using the terms im able to figure out to use as searchs but have come up empty with answers.
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.
X10i
andr 2.3.3
baseband 2.1.71
3 Sweden
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.

Z2 (D6503) can't make phone calls after restart

Hello,
So yesterday I just solved my own issue of not getting any LTE signals by reinstalling the FW.
Today, I followed the advice of a user to restart the phone using PWR + VOL UP buttons to get the smoothness back. I did just that, phone became smooth again with the phone registering on LTE network.
But what happens now? I can't connect to Mobile Data AND can't make phone calls. I can run USSD code to check my balance and can receive calls just fine but cannot make phone calls.
Any ideas? Do I need to reinstall the FW again?
Model: D6503 FW: .314
Try flashing the baseband for your firmware and see if the problem persists.

I actually tried repairing it via Sony PC Companion application on the PC but to no effect. I'm suspecting it could be a HW issue but what baffles me is that it used to work fine (apart from the LTE issue) and only after I tried repairing it yesterday did everything work correctly and wham in the morning this happened.
try to flash the latest FTF again using flash tool..and check if it can help

Xperia P, Mobile Data wont turn on

I´m coming from CM 12. Did a downgrade to Stock JB yesterday. Since then the mobile data wont turn on anymore.
I tried: reflashing ROM, I´m having the right APN, relocked bootloader and flashed Stock via Sony PC Companion.
Had some issues in CM 12 (after stetting the Data to 2G only it wasnt possible to do a change to this) but it worked before i did the downgrade.
Any ideas?? Telephone calls works fine.

WiFi and Bluetooth not turning on after factory reset

I just got the screen replaced after a few months it not being used. I decided to do a factory reset, and after the setup, both wifi and bluetooth doesn't seem to turn on. My MAC Address shows as 02:00:00:00:00:00. This didnt happen before I did the factory reset (I was able to connect to wifi networks).
Also, I unlocked the bootloader, but I never knew that the xperia companion app doesn't flash unlocked bootloader devices. I'm planning on flashing it back to stock (I flashed lineage).
Thanks
