HTC MyTouch 3G - Cyanogen ROM no longer has data connection - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I've unlocked a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (32B) for AT&T. I rooted my phone yesterday purely out of spirit for experimentation. I've installed CyanogenMod-4.2.8.1, found on the website. I'm trying to connect to the market, but no type of data connection is being made.
The unusual part is that I have full signal strength. E or G sometimes pops on, but then drops off. I've quadruple-checked the APN settings, and they're fine. However, I did notice at one point the password had been deleted. I am aware that my phone version is not able to get on 3G band (although I'd like to find a hardware mod~)
I'm almost certain it's the Cyanogen ROM simply because before rooting, I had no data problems. Seems even a WiFi connection won't give me data. I've searched the internet to see if anyone else has had this problem, but it doesn't seem so. Any ideas?
Disabled WiFi and I have data. Apparently the two don't get along well. Just noticed an update to the ROM, so we shall see what will happen!
Or, if anyone has any suggestions on an alternative ROM, I'm not looking for anything too fancy (the MyTouch is serving as pure novelty at the moment; HTC Fuze is my primary phone). Speed and battery optimizations are most prefered, bluetooth/USB tethering a plus, and if it runs aHome or Home++ without a hitch, I'd be content.

I just upgraded to CM 4.2.9.1 on my MT3G 32B and am having data issues. Could it be a coincidence? Could it be T-Mobile upgrading to HPSA? Or could it be CM?

It's possible to be the ROM, as I'm on the AT&T network. I'll give the updated ROM a test as soon as I get some time to it.

Try reflashing radio. http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html

Works fine on my 32B Magic. Tried running fix_permissions, wiping and reflashing?

Got the same problem on my G1 with 4.2.9.1
When Wifi is active, after about 10 minutes i have no data connection anymore.
If i disable wifi i don't get this problem

i too have had this problem on my three magic 32a. i rebooted this morning and it went back to normal though. have only seen it once so i can't really comment on the cause. typically i have wifi always on and location by networks off...

How did you install CM?
Did you install the HTC 1.6 rooted base first, then the CM image after without re-booting?
You have to the first time you install CM. You don't say whether you did or didn't.

Did you remember to configure the APN correctly???

maybe related to instal issue?
I have the same issue but did "install the HTC 1.6 rooted base first, then the CM image after without re-booting". However upon booting into Cyanogen, I couldn't get past the "touch the android" screen and thus had to boot back into recovery mode and clear all data. After reboot I was able to pass the touch the android screen, but perhaps that wiped the 1.6 base settings?
Do I need to re-install, what if i have the same problem with getting past touching the android again?
I haven't tried updating the radio, but will try that first.

mobile network data
Found it: looks like toggle for mobile network data is turning it self off. Other than to conserve battery / airplane mode is there ever a reason to have it off? (is it bad to have on with WiFi?)
thanks.

HD2 Web Connectivity Issues and Analysis

Seriously people....
I've seen lots of threads recently. People are complaining that the HD2's data connection cuts out, leaving them unable to access the Internet from their phones for who knows how long. I know, it IS kinda annoying...But the thing is..
I can tell you this IS NOT a hardware problem. It's something to do with either the OS....or something in the phone's registry settings which no one has picked up yet...I hear that phones like the TP2 do not have this error, and I agree. My old unbranded Touch Pro 2 was brilliant, I could use it for IM and texts anywhere...LOL I used to sit on the Bus while people stared at my phone, while I was on Messenger talking to my phone. Anyways, here's what I wanna tell you guys. Hope I help out everyone in some way or another.
What I have:
HD2
3 Mobile Sim-So yeah, My Operator is 3 UK
Living in London, UK
Using ENERGY's 17th March Version ROM
HUSPA, HDSPA Enabled
What I've noticed:
The phone cuts out the signal when the transition between 3G and H occurs in the icons. As a result, the Internet cuts out temporarily, and programs such as Messenger lose connectivity for a while. For example, when the icon is on H, and no one's talking on Messenger, the Icon changes back to 3G....during this moment it cuts out sometimes..until it reverts back to the H icon (Got that? I know, it's a little long and complicated when I word it like that, but read it out and it'll make sense xD)
Now, whenever I have the phone connected to my PC/Laptop (Either as a Wi Fi Router or through the cable and then using Internet Sharing, either way, the phone does NOT change back to 3G, it stays constantly on H (Mind you, I usually download during this period). Anyways, the point being that the connection is VERY stable and constant, when in this state, connected to my PC/Laptop and the device is accessing the Internet through my phone's Data Connection. So what do you all think? And what have YOU found out? Leave your responses and ideas below
Some things I have found out are, if you Enable ONLY HUSPA in the Settings/Connectivity options, the connections seem to be more stable. Furthermore, if you really want to, Disable Advanced Connections, stay only on 3G, and enjoy a LOT of stability (At the cost of slower speed surfing and downloading )
My HD2 does not connect at all anymore. I called in to support because I completely lost data connectivity (web browser, email, slacker, whatever - no connection). They verified no troubles on their end. I moved the sim to my old touch pro (running Energy ROM w/ winmo 6.5 and Sense 2.1) and that phone connects fine. So it's not the SIM, and it's not the network.
I've also done a hard reset to get back to stock and still have the problem, which tells me that it's not a registry / software setting.
They only thing that leaves is faulty hardware - or firmware that a ROM hard reset wouldn't affect. Either way I need to replace the device altogether.
Unfortunately, tmo is out of stock and so I can only wait for a more to become available before it can be replaced.

Which phone company are you with? I experienced the same problem with 3UK in North London for a couple of months up until the beginning of last week but it was a problem at 3's end, not mine. Other people have been experiencing similar issues with non-3 phones in London (http://www.3g.co.uk/3GForum/showthread.php?t=102192).
yes, I had problems in London too before Good Friday. Especially on Tues+Wed.
Others around me inthe library also had similar issues with their iphones. I kept on switching the baseband and modes, and reapplying my 3G settings to keep it alive and solve the outages.
Most people with issues were on vodafone or O2 (like me).
It would work, then cut, then work.
I thought at first it was because I had a custom ROM, but iphone users had the same - and lots of timeouts on requests.
I DO believe however that running ROMS like energy's and Dutty's HG 1.7 with 2.10 (which I'm currently running) bases as 2_08 radios is not great for the uk and exacerbates the connection issue. 2_07 is better...and in any event we SHOULD be using 1.72 based roms with 2_09 radio.
I have also noticed that on COM5 23544 builds the opera mobile 9.7 and 10 google boxes do not work. They come up as failed connection, but then i click on teh link and it works...weird huh???
So I think last week was because of network faults in London. But in general, these 2.10 based ROMS and their radios are not ideal for stability.
I had perfect call and HSDPA stability with 1.48stock+2_09 radio.
Having turned to a 23544 rom (Dutty's HG) with 2_08 radio I've had much less call and internet stability (and quality) over the stock with 2_09.

3G not working, but HSDPA is.

Hi All,
For 2 weeks or so now I've been having an issue with my Hero's internet connection. Didn't notice specifically when it started as it only affects the 3G connection and I mostly get HSDPA in my area. I use WiFi at home anyway.
When the notification bar shows 3G, the upstream arrow flashes periodically but there is no traffic downstream. Market downloads fail, anything which requires an internet connection will timeout.
However as soon as it switches up to H connection, it starts downloading immediately. If I switch to 2G only GPRS and EDGE connections work fine too.
Around the time the issue started I was trying a few different 2.1 roms for the first time. Have flashed several different roms since and have the same issue. Currently using VillainRom5.5. I was already using Radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 but have reflashed this too. Have flashed the stock Orange RUU, RUU_Herrange_UK_2.73.61.5_release_signed_NoDriv er.exe, but the issue remains.
Didn't have a problem, especially at home, before trying the 2.1 roms. I have good signal regardless which connection I have, currently 3 bars.
Thought it might just be an issue around my house but have tested all over and it's the same. Became an issue this week as I was visiting Somerset and in area's without HSDPA. Had to switch to 2G only in order to get internet connection.
Have searched here and other forums but cannot find anything specifically like this, any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
hello,
I had a lot of problems with connections (3G/HSDPA/2G) with loose of signal.
I tried a lot of ROMS to solve this problem. But It wasn't the right way...
In fact, My SIMcard was defective. I had to change it, and now all is OK.
I'm not sure that it will be the right issue for you, but perhaps It could be...
BR
Cheers for your reply.
Have contacted Orange today, the customer services guy tried some stuff and asked me to test and call back. Hasn't helped so will call them back in a mo and report back.
Hi,
I am having a very similar issue and I am also on Orange. My issue started after around the time I flashed Villian 5.3 but I doubt this is the issue as I have flashed other ROMS since and have the problem. Have you also done the 2.1 battery stuff by *#*#4636#*#*? I did this around the same time the issue started and I thought it was because I had set it to GSM (auto) but I put it back to WCDMA but that made no difference.
My phone keeps showing 3G then swapping to HSDPA. This is both an my house and in the city. I always got H no matter where I was but now keeps swapping after a couple of mins or when I use internet. I've reflashed ROM, radios and tried a friends Orange SIM and I get the same.
I also have the exact same problem on the 3 network in the uk, definately not a sim problem as before I rooted and flashed it all worked perfectly. Hasnt been too much of an issue as most of my city has hspda coverage but if I go out of town its a pain.
Problem started as soon as I flashed a villain ROM and is present in all 2.1 ROMs I have tried although I have noticed that the legend ports seem more stable and connect a little better, so am currently running the villain 4 ROM. Updating the radio made no difference and I am starting to wonder if it is some thing to do with using a CDMA port?

Yeah I did try that stuff, I too have set it back to WCDMA Preferred. Now you mention it I guess my issue did start around this time too so its likely to be linked.
It does seem too coincidental that we have done the same things and are having the same issues on Orange. I'm going to wait to see if ROM from the official 2.1 build sorts it out and if not swap the phone out. I've had Villian and now BeHero + and still have the issue. I've flashed different Radio's as well and that has not fixed it.

Ive had this problem for well over a month now, way before the gsm auto trick came on the forums and I started using it, I dont think thats the cause, dont think its a radio issue either as had it on two diff radio versions.
My issue started as soon as I flashed a eris port which as far as I know is cdma based and isnt that a different kind of network than we use over here??
Any devs want to chip in here and help some noobs plz?
I've always had this issue with Orange as well, regardless of ROM, prior or after to flashing. I thought it was just the Orange network capacity as when I use the phone out of peak hours (2-7am) its fine.
I have the stock Hero with 1.5, no roots or custom os & it happens to me on Orange UK.
No idea why, but don't think its to do with custom roms!

Yaeh i have the exact same issue, tried many different roms, including official orange roms. This issue started before i started playing with customer roms.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Just adding to the list. Same issue for me, Orange UK - not specific to any ROM (Stock or Custom)
I'm going to join the party and say I have this problem too.
Although I didn't notice until I read this and checked, I just assumed Oranges 3G network was unstable in peak times

I too am on orange uk and tried this and experienced the same issue.
The solution is just reflash rom and radio (no wipe etc so data remains). That fixed it for me.
Also don't mess with *#*#...... settings
I'm still having this issue, maybe it is just the Orange network thats to blame? Seems to be to a number of us cropping up.
Gonna get back onto Customer Services this weekend, see what they say this time.
Same problem here. I'm on Orange UK too. Seems like an Orange network problem rather than a ROM problem
Saw this on my G2 Touch Hero on t-mobile when using villainrom 5.2. Not seen it recently and don't think its related to flashing 6.0.

Thought I'd update this.
Been living with the issue since posting, tried a few roms, all with the same issue.
Tried the latest radio, that didn't help.
Flashed EzHero rom few days ago and 3G has been working fine since! Don't know whats in this rom which might do that, it doesn't display the 'H' icon anymore which is the only visual difference. Might just be coincidence but either way glad its working consistently again.
I've had the same issue here on the other side of the pond in Canada on the Telus Hero. I think it has something to do with the phone trying to default to the fastest connection. I'm assuming the providers don't want us connected to the faster networks constantly, so they have a disconnect on idle response; which in turn is being counter-acted by our hero's need for speed. That is one theory, but I have to include that when I first got my TELUS Hero, before rooting and installing MaDaCo 1.5 I would have stable 3G connections. Any ROM installed following the root of my phone has caused this same dilemma.
This is a big issue on orange one which I have never got to the bottom of.
Now my phone seems to work 99% of the time but it always switches to H before downloading.
It might be something to do with Orange switching to new "next generation" towers. Apparently last time I phoned orange my phone was connected to two towers (only supposed to be one) so it was impossible to triangulate my exact position.
This might have something to do with it.

Data issues w/ CM6.1 RC2 + updated radio

Hey everyone. I've been having issues with my data connection and I'm trying to figure out what is causing it. I am using CM 6.1 RC2 and I have the updated radio from the vodafone rom.
For example, when I enter the market, about 50% of the time I get a network error after resuming from sleep and have to click retry once or twice before I can do anything. The data connection is just not reliable anymore (yet before this issue it always was).
I'm just wondering if there is an issue with RC2 of CM or if it is the radio update causing this. Can anyone comment?
I'm not sure this would be related, but after flashing 6.1.0 on my Dream I find it stuck in EDGE occasionally, usually when in the car or after, and in places where I get solid HSPA before 6.1.0. So far, I have to reboot to get HSPA (or 3G) back. There are some notes on updated radio and a kernel to address some radio problems, is anyone else seeing this?
Hi,
I have similar problem. My legend is not with the latest radio or kernel.
The specs are:
CyanogenMod Legend 6.1
Radio: 7.05.35.26
Kernel: 2.6.29.6
The problem that I see is: During the night when the phone is not used it looses the data connection. When I turn it on in the morning there are no mobile network indicators. I have to reset the network ( by airplane mode or reboot) ot get back my data connection.
During the day there are no problems.
I suspect that this happens because of the weak 3G signal in my area. However I use auto setting. ( 2G and 3G)
When I was with stock ROM I haven't such issues with dead data connection during long sleep.
EDIT: I have just upgraded the radio to 7.08.35.21. I will check how it works tonight.
BR
I'm having similar trouble with CM 6.1 released just a few days ago...
I've posted this to Cyanogen Stable Forum for Legend:
h t t p ://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11966-cyanogen-61-htc-legend-problems-with-3g-connection/
I think I've similar problem as you...
I have updated the radio to 7.08.35.21.
This morning when I woke up I saw no data connection again The signal strength indicator was full with bars!
Anyone has any clue?
I've been having some data issues too, I've had to go to and from Flight Mode in order to get any form of connection (data OR telephone) back, and I occasionally get stuck on GPRS. Toggling "use only 2G networks", waiting for the data to come back and then toggling it off again gets EDGE or H back, but it's pretty flaky compared to RC1 and the older radio.
I think i have the same or similar problem.
It looks like I have a data connection (3g is showing and signal strength is almost full). But when i try to connect to facebook, browser or somthing else what needs a connection it cant connect.
I have a taskkiller running when i kill all the task 90% of the time i will get a connection.
I have the same programs on my phone when i used 2.1 and with 2.1 I never had this problem.
Strangely enough it seems like mine is working much better lately. Maybe there was something up with Bell. I haven't gotten the connection error in days.
After update to radio 7.13.35.05 I haven't had this sissue again.
I will continue to watch he behavior.

[Q] HTC data connection freezing.

Hello all,
Not sure if anyone else is having this problem.
First of all, better to mention what my Aria is running on:
Stock ROM unrooted. Updated to Froyo from HTC via FOTA. I'm not located in the US therefore my phone isn't under AT&T which many here are. My ROM is strictly HTC's Asia's ROM.
Now I don't have much in a way of problems with my phone, its just odd to me that every once in a while (around once every week or so) I need to reboot my phone. This is because for some strange reason, my phone won't connect to the data network (3G) or it shows that it is connected but no data activity (even after I've instructed the phone to sync all information, i.e. weather, emails, etc). I've tried switching on/off the data network connection and also have tried switching between airplane modes on/off (in hopes to reset something) but nothing works.
I'm not sure if this is an inherent problem to the Aria's 2.2 update or if there is something wrong with my carrier, however the problem is ALWAYS FIXED right after a fresh reboot.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone information. Set preferred network.
Try switching between the different options.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Thanks for the hint thinkhope. I'll try your suggestion. May I ask what you think the problem may be?
Update: I tried it for a couple of days and I still get the same problem. I tried switching between preferred networks but the problem persists. Quick reboot and once again, fixed.
I also have this same problem, stock/custom ROM no matter which ROM the problem is still there, up to a point that made me wanna smash my phone on the ground. I tried to use my SIM card on my wife's SGS and seems like no such problems faced. Is this a common problem for HTC phones?

[Q] Help with data and GSM losses of connection

I own a Verizon Motorola Razr M, bought in ebay to an US seller. I am in Spain and I use Movistar SIM card
The phone came with stock JB 4.1.2, and therefore I could not unlock the bootloader.
I started using it, but it had a problem that I am not been able to solve so far: after some hours of use, with no problems with GSM and data connections, it suddenly looses both connections, although the signals on the status bar still appear. I take care that signals have gone when I take the phone to make a call or surf the web.
I have tried the following procedures:
Change the net settings to GSM/UMTS
I rooted the phone with motochopper 1.1.2 exploit
I installed Safestrap 3.12 in order to be able to install other available locked compatible roms.
I tried these roms, following this thread here in XDA: Clean ROM 1.0. Clean ROM 1.1, Barebone New Base, Stock Deodexed.SDswap-Locked & UnLocked BLs-xt907-9.8.1Q-94-1, but no luck. This last one uses the last radio, but no way.
I also installed the [PATCH][GUIDE] Patch to fully enable GSM on Verizon CDMA Android phones. I could only install it on Clean ROM 1.1 however. It has been impossible to install it on the other ROMS. In any case, no luck again with the patch installed. Here I had a big problem because as I still had these problems, I got into *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer, and touched the band selection option: suddenly, the net showed no signal more and I was unable to make it work again: I finally solved this by installing the stock firmware from here with RSD lite.
No way. I still have this problem and I can not use the phone. I have also tried with another SIM card, but the problem remains. It is a shame because when the connection works, the phone runs very well.
Any help would be very appreciated

The problem also seems to become worse with the use of the phone: at the beginning, coming from a factory reset, It can last some hours before the problem occurs. But since it happens from the first time, it happens more and more frequently and the phone can not be used any more. It seems that there could be a software issue.
Another try disabling fast dormancy
I´ve just disabled fast dormancy, because my operator Movistar apparently does not use this technology.
For this, I have modified 3 lines from build.prop system file, as indicated in another site.
The 3 lines are:
ro.mot.ds.fastdormancy.disable=true
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
ro.telephony.default_network=3
Having fast dormancy enabled when your operator does not support it, seems to drain battery, and could cause other problems. That´s why I´ve done this. I have used root explorer apk from Google store, it is free and it automatically creates a backup of build.prop file when you modify it.
I keep the fingers crossed, let´s see what happens.
Fast dormancy: yes but...
After some days using the phone with fast dormancy disabled (for this, I also added this line to build.prop: ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0 ; I read this for ICS Roms, I do not know if this command is also valid for JB, any comment will be welcome), I still get some cuts (less I would say), but at least the phone tries to restart the connections. For this, I have also installed the apk from Google Play called 3g reconnect.
In any case, any comment would be appreciated.
Issue not solved
I still get data and voice disconnections when I use GSM/UMTS or only UMTS modes. They occur ransomly, and they also occur as soon as I use a WIFI connection. I can only use the phone on GSM only mode, which is frustrating.
Any advise?

Hello,
I have tried both: using *#*#4636#*#* or using the usual phone settings. Sometimes I have also checked that the changes made with the usual settings appeared also dialing *#*#4636#*#*.
Yesterday evening, I tried selecting global mode instead of GSM/UMTS and it seemed to work for some hours, but today morming, the problem occured again. So far, the unique way I have found to avoid connection cuts off is using GSM ONLY mode. I have to say that I have tried with 2 different SIM cards but the result is identical.

I did that once, and all the signals disappeared. I restored the phone with RSD Lite, that appeared to be the unique way to have again signals working. Now I do not even dare touching these 3 dots.

What booby a trap? How many step into!
I don´t know if I am understanding you. I did that once because I did not know what else should I do to solve the problem. I saw that there was the possibility to choose theoritically between US bands and Cellular, and I entered in that menu. It is not so stupid to try that if you have already tried 100 other ways.
In any case, anybody has an idea about how to solve this problem? I´m sure I am not the unique person having this issue with this phone.

You are saying the problem is now still there. Yet the radio partition is fixed. Please restate what has been fixed with the rsd flash & what remains unfixed.
Well I think I have fixed and solved the problem: I initially copied the APN settings I had with my previous HTC Sensation, because the phone operator was the same (MOVISTAR), the SIM card too, and I have not moved. In these APN settings, the proxy was "undefined" as well as the proxy gate. I wonder if the radio stucks looking for a proxy each time or whatever. I tried yesterday with completely different APN settings, with a concrete Proxy and a gate... and now I have not had any issue in the past 24 hours. I will still wait a couple of days to see if that was finally the reason.
Which in any case would be silly, because I just applied what was working OK with my sensation, but...
New APN settings: let´s see

After several days, the problem is still there. After setting new values in APN, it happens less often, but it still happens. I have to switch to GSM only mode.
2 days ago, I was surfing the net at quite high speed with no interruptions, for half an hour. I then shutted off the screen, on again some seconds later, and the connection was blocked, I had to restart the phone. It has to be a software issue.
I finally sold the phone
After concluding that I could never get rid of this problem, I sold the phone, informing that he would have to use mainly GSM only connection. Great phone otherwise, but with this issue.
This sounds like a Baseband Issue.
Europe I have found baseband:
sm_bp_101031.027.32.81P to be the most stable so far, with no H+ support though.
But most Carriers in Europe don't have H+ or LTE.
That baseband is part of build 9.8.1Q-66
Which can be all downloaded here:

The baseband from 98.16.1 had H+ support in Europe but connections dropped like crazy.
Same with 98.12.4, we remedied that with Aussie Radio at the time.
Maybe this may help some International users with Data and GSM Loss

I'm on 9.8.1Q-94-1(98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US) and wanna use it in Germany. any experiences with the radio compared to the suggested one. Or is there another way to boost the performance of the razr m? Compared to my razr I the signal and data quality is really poor...
edit: my baseband-version is: SM_BP_101032.021.32.80P
edit2: ok... now i've flashed several basebands... and the behaviour of the phone is always the same... with the australian baseband of xt905 it wasn't possible to get an hspa-connection. dunno if its enough just to flash the radio-fw?!?!?
so is there an other way to get more stability in my region? i tried to flash the radio from razr hd retail germany. but i think the razr m don't like it when I fool around. actually I love the mobile, so i don't want to make it angry... your suggestions are very much appreciated...
