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.

After downgrading back to HBOOT 0.33.0012 my connection problems vanished (still running the same CM7 nightly)

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.

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.
Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with my legend presenting a flaky mobile data connection on certain roms.
The stock 2.1 rom that shipped was working fine, however while it was running cm (all versions since 6.1) the mobile data connection would only work occasionally. If it wasn't it would just continuously light up the upload arrow on the status bar, the download arrow dead, and nothing would happen.
I recently tried ogo2's gb sense rom, and surprisingly the internet worked fine in it, especially since it runs on a cm kernel. While a brillilant rom, the heaviness of sense 3 and the battery drain from the dialer mean it can't be my rom.
I figured maybe all sense roms would be good then, so tried out blay0s 2.2 rom. However it is also turned out to show this problem.
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? I would love to be able to go back to CM, but the not working internet drove me crazy after a while.
My APN settings are definitely correct btw. Thanks for any help!
I'm hoping someone has an idea about this one as I'm pretty stumped. I'm very familiar with running custom roms on my Samsung Vibrant, and picked up a DEFY for my wife a few weeks back. The stock rom is so bloated that I wanted to put something on the DEFY to make it run well.
I've tried both the MIUI.us and MIUIAnroid versions of MIUI, and CM7 too, and have run into the same problem. Everything will be working great for a period of time, and then the 3G data will just stop. The 3G indicator will still show a solid signal, but the small arrows will stop showing any data coming/going. Emails/browser/Facebook ets (anything that needs data) will no longer work, and a reboot is the only thing to fix it.
If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I posted this in the Q&A section, but have not gotten any responses so hoping someone here might have an idea.

On Monday I got an T-Mobile OTA notification on my phone for Kit Kat as most of you probably already have. I decided to reject it and I looked up how to get that alert off my notification bar which is basically, go under cache/FOTA and delete the update that was downloaded. I did and it worked. But ever since then I feel like my data has decreased dramatically. I don't know if it's because of the rejected update or what but all of a sudden the network just goes super slow. as in 1mbps compared to about 20mbps that I normally have.
Has anyone rejected the OTA update and if so, did your data also slow down considerably? I have a nandroid backup from about 2 weeks ago that I'm thinking of restoring my phone to see if it changes anything but if I do, I know I'll get prompted with the same update again which I don't really want to take. (I'm rooted with TWRP recovery and stock ROM) It's just a hassle to go through it all again after what feels like a couple of months ago with the 10G update. My phone was working perfectly the way I had it and I just wish to go back to it. Right now it kind of feels like my old phone (LG Connect) which for this nightmare is the main reason I got rid of it in the first place. You guys' help would be much appreciated. thanks
Restore nandroid then freeze the update app with titanium or something similar.
It also may just be a coincidence and your network is having some temp issues.
