Help Data Failure: Repeated attempts but never connects

Hello. I've had a HTC G2 with t-mobile for about 3 years now with Android 2.3.4 (never rooted).

Yesterday the phone suddenly lost the ability to connect data networks. The data connection icon appears for a few seconds staying white in color (a green color indicates full connectivity) then disappears.

I made a video to show this process (sorry about the quality) you can see the data icon in the top part of the screen. Forum rules won't let me link it but it is here:

This process will go on repeatedly and drain the battery in the process. I tried setting "only connect to 2g networks" but the same thing happens.

Any help is great appreciated; thanks.
