Having issues with my new 8X...

[iPwnza]

I bought the device on launch day for tmob (Yesterday), and the sales "set the phone up", or in my opinion, screwed the phone up. Once I got home, I pulled the phone out of the box, turned it on, set it up, and my cellular data wouldn't work. After a trip back to the tmob store, they told me to wait a few hours and it should start working. Now a whole day has passed, and still no data. I can make calls, but that is it. I went into a live chat with tmob, no help there. Any ideas?

Try powering down the phone.

Remove the SIM card from the tray. Ensure that it's properly aligned, then put it back in the tray.

Restart the phone.

If you still have no data, it's a T-Mobile provisioning problem or a defective phone. In either situation, you should take it to a T-Mo store and refuse to leave until you either have a properly provisioned account with data service, or a new phone with a functioning modem.

I've already powered down and up the phone about 10 times, but I haven't tried the sim thing yet. Trying that now.

It's likely that T-Mo hasn't properly provisioned your phone for data. But sometimes the SIM isn't jammed in correctly.

Nope, not a sim issue. Probably provisioning or the phone itself...
