I have a rooted G1, iam running JF 1.42 RC33, i also have RC33 Radio.
i live in Chicago in a place where the 3G coverage is pretty good. in fact a month ago i was having perfect reception on my G1.
recently; i am having many issues with the data link (3G, EDGE)
simply, the phone does not pick the data link properly, and even if connected, it might drop the connection.
sometimes i have to go to settings, wireless, mobile networks, and click on "use 2G only" a couple of times to trigger the phone to connect... it will drop the connection when it goes to sleep !!!!
i have noticed that many times when the phone sleeps, it does not switch properly between the wifi and 3G [or EDGE], so i dont get my emails.
sometimes a reboot solves the problem, and some times it does not
i tried to flash the radio image again,,,, it didnt solve the problem.
any help will be highly appreciated.
If you've tried to reflash you radio and the results are the same it may not be your phone. It may be the network itself. You should call TMo to see if they have any issues in your area. About a month ago half the country went out for also half a day. It's rare but it happens. If no one else is having issues then it's possible the problem would be with the phone. You could try a wipe and/or reflash but it probably won't make any difference since it sounds like the radio (which you already tried flashing). Maybe also try checking to see if turning off data roaming will make any difference.
thank you for your response:
iam having this issue since a couple of weeks,, and i dont think it is a network issue.
i have tried to disable/enable data roaming,,,, it didnt help.
am i left to a "wipe" only.. ????
well you can give that a try and if that doesnt solve your problems then it may actually be a defect with your phone. also... ive had issues that my phone would lose data and voice even while i was on the phone. it would just disconnect then say no service. the problem wasnt my phone though... it was my sim card. if that sounds more like your problem you can get a new one for about $20 through a tmobile store.
i didnt encounter any voice call drop issues.
when i wipe, i will need to reflash everything, right?
I live in the chicago area as well and my edge/3g has been off and on like crazy over the past 4 or 5 days. I will look at my phone and it won't have an E or 3G. I'm running jv1.42rc33 with apps and caches to sd card. I'm not sure if its a network problem or my phone itself.
So you both live in the Chicago and are having issues with 3G/Edge and you doubt that it's a network problem??? I hope you didn't do your wipe yet.
I'd call T-Mobile and ask to speak with their data support (Tier 3) group and verify that it's a problem with your handsets before you do anything (like reflash, wipe, etc).
i live in chicago as well.
T-Mobile was/is having 3g network issues. T-Mobile where not aware of the issues. They say they are on the issue to solving it. :

I didn't explain myself well there. I'm under the impression it is a network problem. I learned my lesson last time there was an outage. I did like three wipes in four days thinking it was my phone.
It isn't you - my 3G (also Chicagoland) has been up and down since Wednesday. It is completely down again this morning. All day yesterday it was probably up for no more than an hour.
F'ing T-Mobile made me wipe my phone, then drive to the local store to get a new SIM, and they refused to acknowledge that it was a network issue. The sales rep at the T-Mobile store was having the same issue.

DOH! That sucks! LOL. If you're referring to the outage that we had about a month ago I took the liberty of posting a thread on here warning people not to wipe because they might not be able to sign in because of the network issues. There were so many that did and I was almost one of them myself until I wised up and decided to call first.
hello guys,,, thanks for everybody who in contributing in this thread.
i can see iam not the only one having issues in Chicago, t-mobile said they had no problems,,,,
what makes me tend to believe them is sometimes if i play with the phone the 3G shows up,
this is an experiment for you to try (it worked for me):
enable tethering using the open source gui, then disable it again.... 3G shows up !!!! even if you enable wifi... the phone will switch properly between wifi and 3G (when sleeping).
it worked for me last night and is still working now.
if you guys try it and it works,, this means t-mo has no problem,,, and we need to figure out what is wrong with the combination/configuration we have...

I been having some very weird problems with my hd2 recently, ever 5-10 minutes, I get no service message, and loose my cell connection, the only way to get it back is by selecting the network under settings. Now I've task29'd reflashed magldr, and various roms along with using another sim card same problems. Its not my network provider or sim as it works fine in another phone any ideas?

Could it possibly be that it's your SIM card? It's probably ran it's course. You should get a new SIM every 18 months or so.
Nope not the simcard, I have tried it in another device and it works perfectly fine

I have the same connection issues with my HD2. It's been a problem for close to a year since i got the phone last April. I got used to it and thought it was normal. My Data connection drops often as well as my ability to make and receive phone calls.
About 6 weeks ago I called T-mobile and they had me do a factory reset with not luck, then they sent me to my local tmo store to pick up a new SIM card, still no luck.
Then T-mobile offerered to switch out my phone for a new one which i did and i still have the same issues. I called T-mobile back again to let them know that the problem is the same and they are sending me another phone.
My wife has a My Touch 3G and she rarely ever has a connection issue and never has a problem making a phone call.
The HD2 is a great device but the connection issues are a bummer.

Hi,
I installed Tytung's ICS v. 1.4 on my Hd2 yesterday. It is a great work. Question is whether the Hd2 with Ice Cream Sandwhch can do T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling? TyTung has a Wi-Fi calling download but it seems to be designed for Ginger Bread.

Good Advice, thanks.
Flash ... in the pan
Hi,
I tried flashing that radio. I think I did it right. Wiped the Dalvik cache, etc. Wifi calling won't work. Here's the error message: "Error: 'Connection Error': Wi-Fi Calling Android Application." Are you familiar with the error? At times, the phone says I need to register with Tmobile. Any ideas?
Ndmand
Do you have a newer sim card? I know the older sim cards are not compatible with wifi calling, at least not on the hd2.
Thank you, but I don‘t know if it is the newer type. How do I tell? The card came with the phone in April 2010. If I buy a new card, do I have to reinstall everything? Sorry, I am very new at this. I am pretty sure that I don't have a ext SD area, and the ROM is NAND.

I would suggest calling Tmo, just tell them that you need a new sim card as your phone keeps dropping from the network. They should send you one for free.
Thanks
For some reason, I was thinking that the issue was [possibly] the SD card, not the sim card. Now that I think about it, maybe the problem is that I went through Family Mobile service. It's the T-Mobile network, but maybe you can't do wi-fi if your Sim came through T-Mobile's Family Mobile offer.

That shouldn't be an issue, as long as you are on Tmo service then you should have that option available. If you had a Sensation then it would be working for you, you just need to get a new sim and try again.
TMO Advice
First of all, I really appreciate your advice. I went to a TMO store at lunch and had them look at the sim card. They said it is the new type. They told me, however, that I need to have TMO technical support to add wi-fi calling to the plan. The representative said it is a no cost addition, but you have to go through the process. I hope to get that done tonight. He said Walmart could do it, but advised that it is best to call TMO. I hope that work. It would make my phone much more of a asset.
Ndmand
I didn't have to have to do anything to my phone plan to add wifi calling. What he is probably referring to is FREE wifi calling where it doesn't take the minutes out of your bucket. 2010 is definitely too old of a sim card. It probably would work fine with other phones, but for the HD2 you need the newest sim card. Read this thread, it is where I learned about the sim card thing.

You are correct about it being added to your plan by the way, I assumed you had done that already, sorry. Just call Tmo, if they don't know what you are talking about call back and speak with someone else. They should be able to set you up.
How do we know if our plan includes the wifi calling feature that does not use our calls against our minutes or if it is using our minutes even when on wifi

T-Mobile actually does not do that type of wifi calling anymore, once they made that feature free they started counting it against your minutes. The purpose of wifi calling now is more to help with low signal areas.

I'm running Nexus HD2-ICS-CM9-v1.6 and I flashed Tytung's wifi calling for GB addon, but wifi calling doesn't show up as an app like it did running GB, am I missing something? Worked fine on GB. -Thanks
Doesn't Work with Wal-Mart T-Mobile
Thanks,
My phone would show the wi-fi calling interface, but it still would not work. I am convinced that part of my problem, probably the only problem, is that I am using the Wal-Mart T-Mobile. Wal-Mart's offer is $45 a month with unlimited calling, texting and Internet, but high speed Internet is limited to the first 250 megabytes. Well, after talking to them, I don't think their system is set to do wi-fi calling. I plan to stay cheap and do without the wi-fi calling although it would benefit me greatly.
Michael
Why don't you try it on a Gingerbread ROM first just to see if you can get it working there? I may try it on ICS next time I plan to update my ROM (in case it screws it up).
Hello,
I couldnt post under the WIFI Calling http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038784
Or I would have.
This was the closest thread I could find.
I am using ROM: NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V2.7.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
Baseband ver: 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Ok my issue was:
I was on an earlier version of android (I believe it was 4.0.1?) I flashed WIFI calling then restarted. When Android started up said Android is updating. As soon as I would activate WIFI phone would freeze. So I then updated to what is above.
Now when I flashed WIFI calling to new ICS 4.0.4 the phone lost Baseband "Raido" but WIFI would work lol. WIFI calling app would not start.
So I reinstalled ICS rom, phone back to normal. Basband back.
So if anyone has same issue that fixed mine. Would like to get it working if anyone could help me though
Last night I was in my basement, rocking out to some tunes on the treadmill. I noticed my signal had become very weak and the 4G/LTE icon was no longer in the notification bar. My signal is often a little weak in the basement, so I thought nothing of it and flipped on Wi-Fi. Couple hours later I had finished my workout and went upstairs. Turned off Wi-Fi and still had no data connection. I tried the phone. No mobile data. I reset network settings. No mobile data. I turned data on and off. No mobile data. I checked my wife's phone and she still has mobile data. I drove far enough away that I should've hit another T-Mobile tower but, still, no mobile data!!
I called T-Mobile. Went through every possible troubleshooting step other than a factory reset, but nothing worked. I really don't have the time for a hard reset until next week.
Anyone else have this problem or have any suggestions on how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Battery pull and leave the battery out for 5 minutes? Try your wife's sim card on your phone?
Same thing happened to me. In the backup and reset part of settings, there is an option to reset wireless settings. Worked for me. You will have to reenter wifi passwords and pair Bluetooth devices again though.

Didn't work. Neither did a hard reset. T-Mobile is shipping me a replacement overnight. I guess it works out because I have a nice scratch in the screen.

Updated from what? I was using the SIM card that came with my Note 7.
While I'm awaiting my replacement V20, I've now got the same SIM card in my S7 Edge, and mobile data is working just fine.

Sorry, but I don't buy into your mode of thought. Using the SIM card that came with the phone isn't going to magically fix mobile data.

i called and switched over to the sim card that came with the phone and never had another problem my signal and data actually got better, i started having signal and data issues a couple of days after i got the phone and switching the sim card out completely squashed all that just my 2 cents.

I lost ALL MOBILE DATA. Everywhere. Anywhere. Not a bad signal. Full bars pretty much all the time. But no mobile data.
So my s10+ (G975-F) was working just fine. After updating it to latest update, it has been acting really weird. The internet would stop working all of a sudden, like messages on messenger would not send, snapchat would not load, same with fac3bpok and chrome.
Anyone else facing thiis issue? Any help would be appreciated.
your mobile signal really poor.... one bar only...
wifi signal also 2 bar only, but... are you sure your wifi connection also running good ?

I have similar issue: No mobile data connection since updating to Android 10 on 12/31/2019. WiFi is working fine. Tried wiping the cache partition as suggested above. Tried restarting, resetting network. Tried calling carrier (Redpocket/Verizon) who did provisioning and taking out SIM card and reinserting/restarting. When switching SIM card to another phone (Galaxy S8+ using Android 9), no issue (Internet worked just fine). But another SIM card on my cell phone (Note 10+) didn't work either. So clearly the issue is with my phone (after the software update), not carrier. Took the phone to local Samsung store on 1/2/2020. Was told I was the first one reporting this since the Android rollout. They suggested factory reset which I am very hesitate to do. Then they suggested waiting for a patch to be released, if there will be one ever.
I am using Samsung Note 10+. I am in California.
Any advice? Thanks
