you didnt hear it from me, but t-mobile is updating towers which effects your data connection,although CS wont tell you this.But this is the root of the data connection problems,nothing more...
when will it be done? im very frustrated by it.
how do know this

I am having a strange problem.
As soon as I start a call all data connections (including Wifi) are dropped.
They automatically come back after the call is ended.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Is this something that can be fixed?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
I have had this happen to me only when connected to edge. While on 3g the connection stays.

data connections are always dropped during calls, but wifi shouldnt drop. I have never had the wifi shutoff while i was making a call....strange

the point of 3G is that the connections will not drop.
Thanks for all the info.
I tested the Wifi again and that did work.
I don't live in a 3G market. So i guess i'll have to wait.
it only comes down to the equipment of the gsm network operator
i never loose data connection with any of my phones be it
gprs or 3g
but if the network operators central equipment dont support it
it dont matter what protocol
I actually lose 3g when in a phone call...Emails, Txt's and other stuff does not come though. On my blackberry, txt will still come through while in a call. Its wierd, I have full 3g reception and I cannot browse through 3g while in a call or recieve any txt.
I am on an AT&T 8525(see signature) running WM 6.1. I am in an area where my phone shows that I am on AT&T's network in the southeast US with 2 bars but I have no service. I cannot make a phone call although I occasionally receive a call, I cannot answer it. I also cannot get any data connection to work except the occasional SMS message. My wife is on T-Mobile with an 8125 and she has about the same coverage although she can make and receive calls about 90% of the time so there is no doubt that we are on the fringe of coverage.
I've tried changing the network band on my phone with no luck(trying to see if for some reason T-Mobile is on something different than AT&T). I tried upgrading my radio ROM as well to see if that would help(see sig) but didn't change anything. In other areas, with just the one bar of signal strength I've been able to make calls 100% of the time. It's only this one area that gives me fits.
I have FieldTest.exe on my phone but must admit that other than looking at the pretty numbers, I don't really know how to interpret the results of that app. Any suggestions?

I am having same problem, tried something like 3 roms , and it sometimes work for a while then stop working again, i was a new rom when i found it was making calls but no 3G connection, i tried another rom, made few calls then now it is unable to connect to anything , please let me know if you find a solution
I just picked up a Vibrant today from craigslist (sold my HD2 a couple of hours before ) and internet was working fine for a few hours. I went to the marketplace and downloaded about 30-40 apps then i went to try some of them out and i would get error messages saying i dont have internet but at the top bar there is a 3G symbol. I tried doing a battery pull 3 times to see if that would help but nothing. I even tried switching to only 2G but that didnt help either. Any tips? Im thinking of doing a hard reset just to reset everything incase something odd happened but id rather not because i already started setting up the phone how i like it.
I'm guessing it's because you need to switch your internet data plan to the Android plan, assuming you are on T-Mobile. If you had anything else it would likely work for a few and then stop.
Try go to a different location. I was having problems with 3G at work, would only show uplink but no downlink on my mytouch. Called t-mobile up and opened a trouble ticket and it was fixed today. 3G worked everywhere else but where my work is.
This is likely due to a problem with T-Mobile's data network tonight. For the last few hours data (EDGE and 3G) has not worked not only in my area, but around the entire United States (NY, Vegas, Illinois, Florida, etc).
People have been tweeting about it all night so far: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=tmobile
Some of the latest tweets as of this posts have a few people saying 3G is working for them but no EDGE. If true at all. This is not the case for me, still down here.

Log on to your tmobile account online and see your device, might need to be switched to vibrant from hd2 and you should then get android data instead of what you had with hd2
im retarded i had to call tmo CS and have them switch me to an android plan.
I have a g2 and while iam at work, i would lose the hspa signal while iam tethering there. My signal would work fine but once i tether it would lose it signals and get no bars hence i got to restart my phone. But while using 2g only i can stay tethering and never get disconnected. Do you guys think the problem is my phone a defect? or is it because maybe t-mobile gots the new update coming out and it would disconnect you since we didnt pay the 15 fee or whatever. I didnt get the new OTA update yet for the official tether. I am rooted and use diff tether apps including pda net.
I was wondering if anyone have the same problem or is it due to the fact that the update will solve this problem. OR do i need a new replacement?
no help , or is it my hspa 4g network is bad around my area
I've read the other posts about this.. But they didnt mention anything of my issue.
I'm having a hard time keeping bars up... Bad service in my area for Tmobile...
I have a tmobile prepaid card in currently. it is active. I also have a Blackberry fully unlimited sim. Neither have worked..
The phone is a tmobile mytouch 3g. i have no idea what OS is on it. can't get past the Google login screen
The "Four corner touch" rumour isn't working.
changing APN settings hasnt worked.
Even if I manage to keep 2-3 bars, and the little Edge logo up, it says my connection is unreliable... or says I don't have a network connection.
Tomorrow I am going to drive into town to get full bars and full edge/3g with my blackberry simcard if I can't figure something out tonight.
Sorry if I'm forgetting any details. I'm very tired!
Please help if you can =/ I know nothing about Androids.. I'm an iPhone/blackberry girl.

I've been having the same issues with my myTouch 4G, wonder if there's a network issue. Any rate, don't see anything obviously wrong unless there is actually something up with the tower your feeding off of. Did you take the drive to test?
Totally forgot, because I ended up returning the phone the next day as it was giving me issues. [freezing up]
I did drive in to town, and was able to log in, and update & enable wifi.
if you're running off of edge/3g only when first setting up your phone, it looks like you need a 100% signal. the two data arrows need to be lit up fully, I noticed if they blink, my log in always fails.
Switched to Mytouch 3g Slide, works like a charm.
