Hello,
I recently flashed the newest CM5.02 and it was fine. Then, yesterday in the middle of the day I noticed that my data had said E, which normally happens, but it never changed back to H (or 3g) no matter where I went, even to spots that I knew had full bars. Im in norcal, anyone else having this problem?
Yeah, mine does this all the time and I'm still stock. Are you on the newest radio as well as newest CM? This is my biggest radio issue.
Here at work where I don't get solid reception I see a lot of fluctuation HSPA to UTMS to EDGE and even down to GPRS sometimes which is fine, I am in a pretty solid bldg and my MT3G would slip as well. Issue is I can't get it back without doing what you did or switching between WCDMA Only then back to WCDMA Preferred basically anything to reset the radio. I notice this happens without fail if I take a call on it. I will lose all data connection until I hang up.
As well, when all this starts up real bad the phone will heat up quite a bit. When I leave my office things appear to be fine.
Didn't have this problem with the stock ROM

I'm using CyanogenMod 5.0.2 and radio 4.04.00.03_2 (from Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version), but I did NOT have this problem with the stock radio after the OTA update (4.03.00.21_2).
I posted a poll about this at Stuck on EDGE with CyanogenMod 5.0.2 until reboot.

That means you have the old ROM. The new one can be found on the CM5.0.2 page.
Also, in your first post, can you mention how you fixed your issue?
FYI: Reverting back to the old radio did not fix the issue.

I thought i fixed it by forcing it to search for networks then selecting t mobile, this was not a good solution as if it dropped it would not go back.

I have been experiencing some pretty severe radio issues. I have been missing calls without the phone ringing and people have to call me multiple times to get through even when I have great signal. My radio switches to 1x for long periods of time and loses all signal randomly (or it goes back and forth between EvDo and and 1x rapidly). This has just started happening over the last week or two and I live in a large city that normally has really great sprint 3g coverage. Today, I got an error that said something about "insufficient radio resources" so I figure that could be related to the problem. I am running Fresh 2.0d and using the 2.42.00.03.10 radio. I think the problems may have started after I tried to update my PRL, but it seemed to update fine and is currently 60664. Has anyone else had this kind of problem and/or know any fixes? Thanks.
P.S. I hope this is the proper forum for this topic because it's apparently not welcome anymore to ask for help in the Developer forum.
You got the right forum.
Just a quick question:
How recently did you flash the radio 2.42.00.03.10? Did you start having the problems soon after?

Nah, I'm pretty sure I flashed it with Fresh 2.0d about a day or two after it was released. The problems have been happening more recently. To the best of my knowledge, the only thing that coincided with the problems has been the PRL update. I've tried returning to some old nandroid backups but it has not helped and re-updating the PRL hasn't done anything either.
PRL 60664 is the latest, I believe (I may be wrong) so it *should* not have caused too much of a problem. Ummm... Have you tried flashing another radio just to check?

I haven't tried another radio. I'm kind of afraid since I'm getting these weird "insufficient resources" errors and I don't want some random bug to brick my phone.
just putting this out there that last time I had this issue I needed to pay my bill as soon as I did that it went back to normal. I had just flashed a new radio and thought that was the casue of the problems but it was not.

Lol, was that a joke because that makes no sense to me? My bill is definitely paid, fyi.
Just FYI, whenever I reboot my phone my 3G still does not come on. Toggling the Mobile widget still does not work. My only fix is to toggle Airplane mode. I was hoping the new radio would fix this problem.
Anyone else?
second that
hey, I second that. I have seen some other forums denying he issue but there is def an issue with the 3g. Turning my phone on and off or turning airplane mode on or off fixes the problem as well. Also, Idk if this is a Pandora issue of not but, Pandora radio will pause itself sometimes and not resume as well as skip songs before they are done randomly. Once again I am not sute what is to blame for the Pandora issue. I have 2.2 froyo leaked installed and the streaming audio fix b4 fix and v5 fix installed from the update thread from the froyo 2.2 leaked thread
Whenever I go from WiFi to 3G it never works. I have to reboot or do the airplane mode "trick".
I'm using hydra kernel v1 ocuv @ 1.13 ghz and the 8/1 leak with some fixes..
Just ran unrevoked-forever and updated to 2.15.00.07.28 radio. No issues with 3g connectivity.
Maybe you should reinstall your Rom and verify you have the most recent kernel.
I have heard there being issues with 2.1 and the new baseband. Not sure if this applies to you guys.
I don't have this issue.

I had this issue with the 2.05 radio and the leaked OTA. Enough of an issue to revert back to stock.
Now I'm running 2.15 radio and aiccucs v4.2 ROM with zero issues. I thought I was having radio issue, but remembered where I work I have terrible reception anyway.

i also am running 2.15 radio on iuccucs v4.2rom and have no issues with 3g. i also had the 2.15 radio running on stock rooted 2.1 for a week or so with no issues.
its maybe something to do with the kernel/rom your running?

I'm assuming it is some application that's causing it...because only a few people seem to be having this problem, and it does not appear to be related to any particular ROM. Be nice if Android 2.2 had a safe mode or diagnostic startup.
I can't really say that I've had any issues. It seems spotty at times and I have issues downloading from market but nothing like you mention.

I haven't lost 3g too often, but when it happens the airplane mode doesn't do anything, still shows signal bars without the 3g symbol. then if i reboot it boots up into airplane mode, and i can disable it and get 3g back.
cant wait for the official build, just glad we got s-off
do you have juice defender installed? i think it toggles mobile data on and off every so often to save battery if im not mistaken

Good idea, but not in my case...
3G connectivity issue resolved (in my case anyway) !!!
Problem: no 3g after re-booting. Only apparent fix was to toggle airplane mode.
Here's something that I just discovered... Whenever I re-boot, there is about a 90% chance that 3G will not start up. However, if I remove the lock screen right after it first appears (during boot-up) then 3G will always start. So in my case, it was the lock screen that was preventing my 3G from starting up.
I don't know if this is the same 3G connectivity issue that others are having, but in my case this (removing/sliding the lock screen) has worked 100% of the time, so far.
3g Issue Resolved, Fluke?
Whenever booting up dictionary word of the day widget would force close, assuming due to no connectivity. It may be a fluke, but once I removed the widget and restarted, no error, and 3g consistently... Will report back if anything changes...
I had the problem on a FRESH install of FrankenROM running the 2.15 radio. I reflashed and still had the problem.
I've run SkyRaider 2.2, 2.5 and 2.5.2 with no problems and am currently running CM6 RC3 and haven't ever had the issue either... All with the 2.15 radio.
EDIT: The problem is still occurring. I thought it was fixed.
Myself and a couple other people experienced stange 3g connection problems while running the cm7 nightlies (among other ROMs) with the new HBOOT-0.35.0017. I know it's been said that HBOOT shouldn't have anything to do with your data connection but nonetheless it is causing problems.

Thanks!
I'm sorry to tell you, but hboot has NOTHING to do with the radio part of the phone: it controls the system partitions table and boots the system... nothing else, it doesn't even touch the RAM parts dedicated to the hardware, the kernel does it.
I almost made up my mind to downgrade until seen the edit part. 3g part of signal is very very frustrating experience on my side while call part rarely let it down. Also signal always in close to100 reading while my Acer liquid on T Mobile stays to perfect 75-80 reading.
I'm on HBOOT-0.35.0017 and sometimes I get x gray bars but after it picks up signal and gets connect to H it seem to work fine. Until I lose the signal or I switch to airplane, etc. Takes a while sometimes to get back signal or the H.
I did notice that when the screen goes off my download stops or sometimes when I download certain files it stops right away. I been updating roms so not sure if it related to them, but overall its been like that.

yes screen off downloading stopping is quite annoying...
I dunno but since I upgraded my Hboot and used CM7... my data sucks. It will work then not work. I typically have to reset to get it back. Even switching in and out of airplane mode will not work.
And by 3G I mean my data connection. I'll have full bars and 3G coverage... but no data from the browser, no pings, no online apps, nothing. Seems like the only way to fix it is to reset the phone.
I also noticed my signal is noticeably less at home. Typically I have full bars but now I notice that it's been dropping out and bouncing.
Could be a carrier issue. But I haven't upgraded my radio since 5.08 first came out. I updated my HBoot for the early builds of GB. So I'm willing to test out this theory.
lol, hboot has nothing to do with the phone's radio. The radio version does.
If you're having a problem with the radio (voice/data) then you should look at the radio version you're running.
Again, hboot has nothing to do with your issue.
Ive had the data sticking problem since I got my n1. Remember reading somewhere that if you go into settings - wireless networks - mobile networks - network operators, when it finishes searching select "automatically select". I got T-Mobile & it works for me until the next time I flash a new rom.
FYI when I was on CM 6.1 I had your problems. I then switched to MicroMod777's Gingerbread and those problems disappeared. I've now flashed Enmother's TheOfficial Nexus1 and I'm testing. Absolutely a ROM problem.

Kinda the opposite for me. No data issues when i tried CM 6.1.1 but on MM Gingerbread i had no data connection at all!

Same here. I tried MM and nothing worked! lol. So I went back to the latest CM7 (#24). I'm not sure what the problem is. Now I'm on an older HBoot and an older Radio. I shoulda just left 5.12 and .35 on there.
Once I get my phone pieced back together, I may try one of the older CM6.1 roms to see if that fixes it. I think we are all using Gingerbread roms here, no? Perhaps that just is an issue that comes with it.

Same issue here, wondering if this hboot is incompatible w/ my old radio.
just received my new nightly, will give this method a try as soon as i upgraded.
thanks!
-- just saw the updated post, thanks anyway
Perhaps the OP should change the title and original message to exclude the HBoot details as the problem is with Data connection.
This will let us continue discussion about the data connection problem that we are, I am at least, experiencing.
Using CM7 #24 from 1/30, it seems to be less of an issue. I notice that I'll have 3G and full bars, but no data will work until it changes to an "H". Seems like it might just be the rom. The latest nightly seems to correct the issue better then before. Now if I open a browser, after 30s-1minute, it will start chugging along.
This has been happening for a couple months. Seems like a couple times a day I lose my data connection, and the only fix is to reboot. After that it's fine for a while, until it drops again...
Running rooted 6.0.1, radio version 3.61. Anything I can check? Or should I just flash a new image?
I have this issue, flashing different radios did nothing for me. The hardware is just going bad I think
Been having the same issue for a couple months now, going to my carrier for a new SIM and resetting APN did nothing. Thought it was my ROM at first and ended up flashing a few different ones along with kernels, it was never fixed. Data drops and comes back about 10 minutes later, every half hour or so. Seems to not effect calling or messaging, only data. Is this a confirmed hardware issue?
My wife and I both had our 6P's doing this as well. Seems like the device will get in a connection loop or something. the WiFi drops, then my 4g data signal, then both are out, then WiFi turns on, Data turns on, then repeats the process. I usually reboot, or toggle airplane mode off and on to stop it. Its periodic, but it doesn't last long on my end. I'm on T-Mobile BTW
UPDATE - REFER YOU TO THIS LINK. Looks like radio files from Android O Beta DP4 are confirmed to fix the T-Mobile Cell Signal Bug
Hopefully, this means our prayers have been answered

My radio didn't drop once on the way to work today, hell, it's still going right now. I actually think it's been fixed
is it ok to apply the updated radio without upgrading android (staying on 6.0.1)? i heard there have been some issues with 7.x on the Nexus?

I do not know its comptibility with 6.0.1 - you could just make a backup and give it a try.
conversely I must say - Nougat on good ROMs is stable and gets good battery life. What are you concerns with just joining the party here on Nougat?

-----------------------------------------------
I'm running rooted stock android. Haven't made the move to any custom ROMs yet. I recall when Nougat first landed people were reporting some issues with it on the 6P (battery life? instability?).
That being said I'm open to loading a Nougat ROM if it's gonna be stable. Is there any consensus on top ROM for the 6P (something close to stock android experience)?
Close to stock with aroma installable features, check superxe rom, you can choose between nougat or Android O.
If I go with the 6P into an area where TMobile has poor signal and it switches to Edge, after a while it seems to lose signal completely and it never gets it back even when it goes back to an area with good LTE coverage. The only way to get the cell radio to work again is to reboot the phone.
There is an issue reported but no progress on a solution:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37132663
I tried radios 3.72, 3.75 and 3.81, all have the same problem for me.
Trying to figure out how widespread the issue is and whether anyone found any workarounds (short of rebooting when it happens).
I'm on radio 3.84 and still experience issues from time to time

I had the same problem with T-Mobile But flashing the radio 3.84 fixed it for me.:good:
Not ready to move to Oreo, does 3.84 work with the latest stock N? Worth giving it a try I suppose, though reports on it are mixed, some still have problems while others haven't experienced any yet.
If you are on radio 3.84, can you please post whether you're using Oreo or still N? Curious to see whether the OS or perhaps vendor makes a difference or it's purely a radio issue.

I'm on Nougat and Radio 3.84 and works great on T-Mobile usa for me. Radios are backwards compatible for the most part....
early radio version
was it 3.64 or 3.68 that was best radio? after that I have had issues with all radios ever since, even with 3.84 flash. Wonder if it would be ok to flash back to one of those...
3.85 seems to be better than other 3.8x versions. When a version doesn't work well for me I tend to go back to 3.72
