[Q] AT&T HD2 Android Data problems

Hey XDA maybe you can help me out.. I;ve searched the forums and cannot find a solution to what is happening to my phone. I have a SIM unlocked HD2 and in the WM rom im using (Chucky) the EDGE data works just fine all of the time. However, the minute I boot into Android, and I've tried multiple roms, the EGDE data will work then stop. No matter what combination of turning off and on the data, changing the monile network settings, WIFI will turn back on the data connection. Ive tried booting into Android with and without radios on in WM and basically everything I can think of. Ive changed APN settings as well.
I really dont know what is causing this. and im currently using radio 2.12.50.02. If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. Any questions i will answer.

What android build are you booting into? What Kernel? Have you explored your build's thread to see if others experienced similar data drops?
I have a euro hd2 on att edge and I don't have any issues with the setup in my signature.

I'm currently booting into Hyperdroid V1.6 with a kernal version 2.6.32.9-r11_n38158-g184606d-dirty [email protected] #159. Ive looked at nearly all the pages and placed searches as well but can't seem to find anything. I have a feeling it has to do with the fact that im using AT&T but WM EDGE works just fine. I should mention WIFI works fine in Android but on the power coltrol widget on my home screen the Data button (with the arrows pointing up and down) is red even when turned off. I'll try your set up later tonight, thanks for the response.
EDIT: I tried your set up and it was the same case. Sometimes I'll boot up and EDGE will work for a while then stut off randomly and other times it wont work at all after boot up.

Have you tried rmnet vs ppp? Others have had success using rmnet when having data issues.

Sorry for the late reply. I have tried both and it doesnt change anything. What I have found is that my data will work for anywhere from 5-60 minutes then stop working all together until the next reboot. I have no idea what is causing this or what I can do to fix this.

many others are experiencing data disconnections depending on kernel and build. I don't think this issue has anything to do with at&t. Keep trying kernels and builds.

Just an FYI, having the same issue with the following setup:
Copes CM7 (Android 2.3.2)
Baseband 15.36.50.07U_2.09.50.29_2
Kernel 2.6.32.15r8
Build: GRH78C

Fixed
You just need to look for a ROM and kernel that works. NAND are the best for battery life by far. Just keep looking you'll find one

Have you tried entering into the phone's advanced settings?
Using the dialer input: *#*#4636#*#* then go to the radio option and select GSM only. Then reboot the phone (not necessary, but let's just do it for good measure, it'll only take a minute) and report back!

wondering if u have found a solution to this yet...

I know that I'm digging up an old thread but, has anyone found a working solution to this? I'm on EDGE and it is painfully slow when I'm trying to do anything on the phone even though my phone shows full signal. Also, the signal will drop out every once in a while and I have to turn airplane mode on and off to get it back. I'm think that I have the correct APN settings. Currently I'm using Rafdroid 4.2 with his 2.0OC kernal.
Thanks!

[Q] I need help with data drops!

Hi everyone,
I have been trying to find a way to fix the data dropping on my htc hd2 while running android, it is so frustrating because it happens all the time. I have tried different roms and no luck!
is there a right combo of radio/roms that works well together? if you have a close to perfect combo please let me know what it is.....thanks!

1) Use a radio version that gives you best reception.
2) Use a build that has letama version 0.7 ril wrapper (or greater)
3) Use a build that uses one of the newer kernels (8.2+ for hastarin's kernels, for example - see my sig)
4) Read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9270810#post9270810 and use the options.smd and ip-up zip files attached to the post.
5) Optional - add the word "passive" into the beginning of the options.smd file.

8.2+ does indeed fix data drops? are you sure?

Data drops aren't truely fixed for everyone yet, but theres good progress. Check out hastarin new kernal and the "[Dev] Call for test" thread which usually hovers on the first or second page of this forum.

Data drops has not been fixed! Period!

However they have been reduced to a level of a minor inconvenience.

I'm using NexusHD2 build with 2.15.50.14 radio and vbnrom ROM and data drops is so rare! maybe you should try the combination. note: i didn't update the kernel or add a fix. it worked out of the box.

Not for me, unfortunately. I'm actually back on Hastarin's 7.x kernel because it is the most stable for me. I hadn't thought about changing my radio, though. I think I'll switch from 2.15 to 2.14.

I have been experiencing these issues also. The only thing I found to fix it is to stick with RMNET builds/kernels.
Had loads of issues lately with various builds which were by fluke PPP. So now using the NexusHD 1.7 build and followed the instructions to switch it to rmnet and data is perfect.
Can I ask what country you are in and what network you're on? I am UK t-mobile. My colleague has far less data drop outs on UK vodafone.
Thoughts welcome. Report back.

I have not had any single drop for almost 1 week now.
I'm using the following:

Winmo rom VBN Droid Reloaded2 oct 2010
Android version Mdeejay_FroYo_Revolution_v._1.5 and changed Kernel to MDJ S7 test, has green tinge pics with flash, but can be solved by setting WB to fluores.
Latest ril wrapper from letama 0.7 from 18-11-2010
Changed my phone settings to GSM auto (PRL) and DNS check set to allowed in hidden menu you can enter the menu by dialing *#*#4636#*#* then go to phone settings
Battery drain in standby is 4-5 ma. Was a lot higher with Led me know, but uninstalled it yesterday. You can make the leds work perfectly by booting Android on your charger
A fully charged battery gives me appr 20 hours life in a mix of heavy and medium use.
Hope this helps any of you, it's really working very well for me.

superhd2 3g net keeps jumping off/freeze

hi
have installed Superhd2 android os on my hd2 it run fine,
but the 3G network jumps off/ freeze all the time,so i have to set flight mode on and back again,and then it is good for some time again.
It worked fine with some other android os i have tried.
Does anybody have some answer for the problem?
Merry christmas

No one with same problem or a solution?

same problem here
I'm running the same build of Froyo 2. 2. 1 and have the same intermittent internet data connection problems. I toggle airplane mode and I get 3g again. Sometimes it will be fine for hours of browsing.... sometime I only get a few minutes. Either way, I toggle airplane mode daily. Phone works fine nonstop.
HELP!!

3g freezes
I have the same problem with mdj froyo hd 4.6. 3g data connection freezes after a while. I use airplane mode to correct it but it happens so frequently.

Yes exact same problem, its so annoying to toggle between airplane mode all day long

All I can offer on this topic is that I used to have this problem on various builds (I tend to go for vanilla builds, rather than Sense builds). It stopped about 6 weeks ago and I've never had it since. The only thing I've done is make sure I'm always running up-to-date builds with up-to-date kernels.
I was running Ginger HD2 for a few weeks and didn't have a data drop once. My experience is that it's older builds that do it, which would suggest older kernels.
Try updating your kernel to the latest version and see if that helps.

Okey i will tryk that then. Do you have a good guide for installing kernels or could explain how to do it, does guides i have found didn't help me much .

[Q] Bluetooth (60mA drain)

Anybody have any clue as to why Bluetooth is causing the 60mA Drain at idle ?
I read in another thread that CM, along with the Kernel, is causing this issue.

I use version 0.2 of prj Clean Desire (I haven't updated because if it isn't broke then I don't need to fix it) with radio 2.15.50.14. I have bluetooth, GPS and 3G all switched on get 4-7mA in standby.
I know it doesn't fix your problem but if you like trying new ROMs it is a good one.

Nobody have any idea's for this ?
HTCQ, I tried other ROM's, but for some reason, I keep going back to Gingerbread with Cyanogen.

my iamgpc gingerbread does the same
It's only annoyance though

Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

It might be a problem while in idle... I have read on some threads that the main reason might be the kernel, or when activating Location -> Use wireless networks

Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912427

The drain is only in non sense rom's, all sense rom's wont have the drain. Devs are working on the problem. If you don't use Bluetooth any non sense rom is good, just leave it turned off and there will be no drain.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I think the question is - are any of the kernel developers working on a fix for this? Would any members like to claim this role?
If it's the kernel though, why is it exactly the same kernel doesn't drain in a sense build but does in a vanilla one? Are all kernels based around sense regardless of what ROM they are used on?
Hmmm....

[Q] Random Reboots

Ok guys, I know that there are posts about random reboots but it seems non have a solid solution. My Hd2 has started doing these annoying reboots for about a week. I was using Tyweens NexusHD2 2.9 and all of a sudden reboots started. So I switched to Typhoon CM7 3.5.7(currently on phone now). Reboots still occur. So I did Task 29, wiped sd card, plus clean install of Typhoon CM7 3.5.7. Phone still reboots. It actually rebooted during setup. I even changed from Magldr 150/5(suggested) to 200/45 thinking it was memory related. Still rebooting. I have noticed it does it more when WiFi is on. Is there something with the latest Android 2.3.5 and Wifi? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No not at all.

I'm having the exact same problem... but strangely now even when I try older gingerbread builds, it does the same thing. Its only been recently, too... I've had the phone for a while and I don't remember it doing this.
I can have the, same build and same gps libs on my wifes hd2, and hers won't reboot. Mine will.
I even went as far as swapping out my mainboard with another one I had from a cracked screen issue... and that didn't solve the reboots.
I can't figure it out. It must be gingerbread and certain phones. Ive tried 2.3.5, 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 and they all are now rebooting. I don't know why its only been lately, too. The, only thing that solves it for me is running Tytungs NexusHD2 ROM v1.9 Froyo based. I can even add the latest agps fix and don't have any reboots. Only thing I really miss from gingerbread is the DSP bass boost which makes a huge difference for my bluetooth audio via my car.
Remains a frustrating mystery to me.

I always set this as my default wifi policy since I am always connected at home. So that's a no-go for that tip. At least for me, personally... still reboots.

So far the only thing that works at home is to turn off 3g.
I am trying Rafdroid 4.2 and so far has not rebooted away from home.

Rafdroid is a Froyo based ROM - same with the NexusHD2 v1.9g build that I'm using and so far no problems.
But when using any gingerbread (sense or non-sense) / CM7 build, I am getting those random reboots. Sometimes so much to the point where the phone is unusable. Then there are times when I could go hours without any. I thought it was something related to 2.3.5 since that's right around the time things started going strange, but like I noted - I've downgraded to 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 - and the same thing is happening. I used to use Hyperdroid GBX 7 for months without issue... now when I load it, it gives the same result. Same with Hyperdroid GBX v12, Hyperdroid CM7, Typhoon, stock bravo based CM7 Nightlies, AmericanAndroid, NexusHD2 Gingerbread version or anything Gingerbread based - period.
It also seems coincidental that the reboots started right around the time when Tmobile issued a bulletin asking for user input about recent unusual high battery draining with mobile data. I really haven't followed up and I don't know if it was determined what was causing it for some users but I am thinking maybe it could be possibly related. I can't explain why my wife's phone can run the exact same ROM and not experience the same thing yet mine does. It seems like an isolated issue - I don't see a lot of people complaining about the same issue lately. Maybe it has something to do with a specific mainboard revision/manufacturing date and some kind of over sensitivity to mobile data power output or something. As I noted in the prior post, I did switch out the mainboard with another one that I had laying around. I did take note of the revision manufacturing date stamped on the board, and they were identical. And both experience the identical problem. My wife's HD2 was bought 3rd party from a private owner at another time separate from when the 2 HD2's I have on hand were purchased. Perhaps she has a different revision/manufacturing date.
The two mainboards that I am having a problem with have a date of 2010/03/16 - they are both identical.
I would take apart my wife's to check her date and am willing to bet it's something different, but I've had really bad luck picking apart these HD2's the few times that I've done it. I've broken wifi coaxial cables and ripped flex cables. The date is stamped on the bottom of the mainboard.

OK, I can now pretty much confirm my original hypothesis about the mainboard. I have switched it out with one that was manufactured in late 2009 according to the timestamp on the board, and that's eliminated this problem for a while now with Gingerbread entirely.
The exact problem is beyond me, but unfortunately I stick to my guns that it's a hardware issue. Not sure why it would affect Gingerbread so much more than Froyo but my guess would be it has something to so with mobile data power management or something of the sort.
So for those saying that turning 3G off counteracts this rebooting effect, try a good Froyo build to keep your 3G connectivity. The reboots didn't happen nearly as much as they did wile running Gingerbread for me (although I would get 1 or 2 every few days).
Unless you can get your hands on another mainboard... or another phone.
Replacing my HD2 entirely for now wasn't an option for me... it's the only "Android" phone that I can run with the grandfathered 5.99 Tmobile web. Any native Android phone is identified by tmobile from its IEMI and forced to upgrade to a smartphone data plan to work with mobile data. They just happen to allow legacy (less than WP7) Windows Phones work with that old data plan, which is what the HD2 is.

+1 switching to 2g sucks but works,my wifes hd2 works fine though like others have mentioned. this is crazy lol
BTW all these reboots stated for me when to mobile messed up their signals and was causing android phones to have high batt drain.

Where can i switched off 3G beacause i've the same problem with reboots?

I have notice mine does it when I am at home using WIFI and 3G is on. If I turn 3G off all is ok. When I am out and about I can turn WIFI off and 3G on and no problems. Wacky.

i had a similar problem on my hd2 tmobile with coredroid 1.6 on it..
Random reboots have become all too often, usually when i start applications and i did not want to waste any more time so I changed the rom...

I would get a random reboot every two our there hours until I took of all my widgets except for two and I haven't had a random reboot in about 2 days and I didn't mess with the 3g signals. but my phone still has battery drain issues
