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 did the fix and i am on stock updated all the way from one of the threads in the dev section and before 4G worked with the old radio but cut out all the time So i decided to do this fix and now the 4G connects for about a minute and it disconnects and i am in an area with excellent 4G coverage. So if anyone knows of a 4G connection problem in the Kansas City area please tell me or if it is just my phone tell me how i can fix this problem.
Edit: It appears that 3G cuts in to do data instead of 4G because as soon as it cuts out 3G uses data.
Edit 2: Now if I go in to Setting>Wireless & Networks>4G Settings It says fair - Poor connection, Assuming because i am inside, but i am not connected.
Edit 3: After disabling mobile data in the network settings it now holds the 4G connection well but now i have to wonder why 3G would over take 4G while it is on.
I been having 4g problems since the recent ota update. I hardly get 4g and it's considerably slower.. I'm running full stock with no root. What fix is available?

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 am really sorry for post duplicated, but I have only 5 days to return this phone which I absolutely love.
However this Internet issue is really bothering me.
I just bought my Mate 8 with build number NXT-L29C636B103, but I have been experiencing mobile data issues with my T-mobile carrier that only when I get 4G symbol, I can go online. Whenever I am getting either 3G or H+, I can not connect to internet at all.
I have tried my wife's T-mobile phone, at the same location, her phone will get 4G LTE, my phone will have 4G, whenever she is getting 4G, I am getting H+ or 3G, which I can not go online anymore but on her phone, it still works.
Is is because of the version of the Mate 8 I am getting or the setting is wrong, please help!!!!
Probably wrong settings. Check your apn. And also make sure your phone isn't set up to just LTE only in the phones hidden menu
Update the software also and then check access point settings and set manually.
I check the updater, but there is no new update at all.
About the APN, I have copied exactly the same setting as my wife's S6, but still this issue.
Basically, whenever I am getting 4G above the bar, I can go online, no problem at all. But whenever it comes 3G or H+, my internet completely dropped!
I don't have that problem on T-Mobile with the NXT-AL10. I can be on one bar of HSPA and go online. There are two things possible. You have a bad phone with a bad radio or T-Mobile is doing work in your area and that's why you have no internet on anything other than 4G. T-Mobile was like that in my area two years ago until they upgraded. I would think it's the service. Try turning off VOLTE and LTE Cat 6 CA and turn on Data Roaming and see if that fixes it.

I was actually trying to help out on this issue, on another forum as well. One thing we discovered is that the settings for LTE Cat 6 CA are not on the L29 model.
Dumb question but you aren't using a metal case are you? Any aluminum case will degrade wifi and LTE to the point where it might switch over to HSPA+ due to poor LTE reception.

I have the L29 model. On T-Mobile, I was getting 3 mbps down and 1.6 mbps up. So I tweaked it around and enabled Data Roaming. Now I am getting 15 down and 9 up. Much more reasonable.
Recently had a similar issue. I copied over the apn from a tmobile device and that was the issue.
Try the 2 apn setup that should be default when you reset apn.

I have T-Mobile and it works fast but do yours say "4G" instead of LTE too?
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Any updates on this issue? I'm still getting extremely slow mobile data speeds.
I was using IDEA's network for months after buying this phone, and even though 4g was not available at my room the speed got by my 3g connection was fine, but suddenly (most probably an update) I lost my 3g coverage for which I thought the operators are responsible, but two days before I saw my friend who was using the same phone getting 3g coverage in my room. So I checked and found out only my phone (and my roommates' phone, note 4 ) couldn't detect the network. Is it a bug or any way to fix it??
It's all too frequently dropping 4G or LTE connection when on the move. It's showing a connection, good strength too, but no data connection working. Often needing an airplane mode toggle or reboot to get online again.
5G is disabled as I'm nowhere near a 5G area.
Anyone got any ideas? Different firmware or something?
I'm starting to regret moving away from the SD note 10 plus I had. That phone was rock solid.

I read that some people have issues with connection with some ISP providers. Try putting it on 3G and see if it works fine then. If it does then ISP has either sn issue with 4G network or phone needs a firmware fix to solve 4G connection issue if this isn't a hardware problem thought. Since for me it works fine here and my 4G shows all time and I even have 4G+ as status without an issue.
try disabling WiFi calling that helped in my case
Tried all that. Went into a town and it didn't again.. Had to force it onto 4g to get a connection.

Haven't had any issues myself, on giffgaff. Tried O2 briefly, it seemed okay too.

Give this app a try, might help fixing it to one band
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ray.samsungbandselection
Yes u have that thanks. It seems to be band switching that's the problem. Or is it possible my carrier has live but unused bands that the phone is locking into? So when I travel I find myself with a dead data connection?
