[Q] Data Connection Issue - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi Guys I have a little a problem with all ROM that I tested (cotulla and Prj Clean and one another that I don't remember) and I don't found a way to solve it.
My data connection is unstable... Sometime work very good but in a few minute doesn't work even if the network coverage is high. When doesn't work I seen on display that only the "transmit arrow" below the "H or 3g" blink. Tha connection sometime restore it functionality.
With windows mobile everything work good.
I have:
HSPL 2.08
Radio 2.15.50.14 But I try also with other Radio
Vodafone ITA
Any advice?
thanks, I'm getting crazy

I wouldn't be so quick to say that RMNET is perfect as with me I find that it drops the connection a lot and often will not resolve a connection!
I haven't tried PPP since my last SD build so I can't tell if it's still as bad but it was quite bad back then.

cotulla stock build use rmnet I thought....

Any advice? This morning I tried MDJ_FroYo_Revolution_v._2.3 data was working for 5 hours and then drop down... and now nothing or very very slow....

I have the same problem too using Hyperdroid and MDJ Gingerbread. It works fine for a day and the next day in the afternoon the data would be lost. I mean no data whatsoever, not data drops like in SD builds. I can't see any G/E/3G/H symbol.

Yeah that's been my experience too. In fact RMNET caused me to have so many screen freezes I had to revert back to PPP as the lesser of two evils. I guess this is the penalty for running Android on a non-native device I never experienced flawless data yet on any bulid be it SD, RAM whatever.

It's the only reason why I'm thinking about moving to a Nexus S - the data drops on this device are just not fun! I love my HD2 though, so I'll not sell it.
This problem has been here since day 1 with Android - but I'm not complaining as i haven't done any work with this, so I'll put up with what I'm given by the devs!

PPP, RMNET and RADIO

I just wanted to let you guys know that if you have a lot of crashes and/or problems with PPP data, you might try to change your Radio to one of the latest versions.
I'm curently using the energyrom(posted on this forum) and I always used the 2.07.50
Radio rom. With this Radio, I had a lot of problems with the Mattc build and the froyostone build concerning PPP data. I sometimes didn't saw the arrows, the phone froze,bad reception etc...etc...
After playing with the latest Radio, all my problems are gone. The 3G/HSDPA works as it should be. So for the folks who are still using RMNET like I used too, it might be worth changing your Radio to see if it fixes anything.
Hopefully it works for some people, but it doesn't for me.
I've always used 2.12 radio but PPP just does not work at all.
I'm still trying to work out exactly what prevents some people from using PPP.
I also had to use APN backup to configure my APN settings properly. Before that, it would'nt work for me either.
Try 2.10.50_26. Ppp works for me

yeah changing the radio fixed alot of my bigs
+1 for radio 2.10. I tried 2.12 and got freezes with PPP. Going to the radio below and PPP acts just like RMNet. I get the occasional 10-15 second freeze when recovering in WiFi, but I never get that in 3G/H mode.
PPP never work for me, tried all available radios for TMOUS, I don't get service at all.
+1 for 2.10.50.26 never had a problem with PPP, and I've used them all.
I use my ROMs clubbed with 2.10.50.26 as Radio and mattc/shub/hyper all work great PPP/RMNET/Wifi/Bluetooth
I guess it depends on what core files are being used on WM side...i use 2.14 base which came with the same radio as mentioned above and has best compatibility with the core files.
Yesterday, I got 1% hr standby with Push On and Bluetooth headset connected and few SMS....thats very much comparable to WM itself...however, sometimes it suddenly drains and I suspect some bg prog for that ...
Just adding a different approach to the story... Could the carrier have something to do with this??
I don't think the Radio version has anything to do with the hard freezes.. As I've tried every radio version and winmo compatible roms for android builds and still, I would get a hard freeze each and everytime.. It would work for a period of time, but once it disconnects and try to reconnect, it freezes.. Sometimes it would just freeze as soon as you boot Android.. And that only happens when I input the right APN settings for my internet plan.. Or when it starts accepting data's.. So I think it's got something to do with the Carrier, APN and Proxy settings.. Either you have to have the right internet settings for the Android phones/plan, or it would freeze your phone.. Anyway, that's just what I think.. RMNET on the other hand is rock solid! It doesn't matter whether you put a Proxy or not, it would connect just fine without freezing.. Just my observation..
For me only rmnet work, ppp never worked. I am in Switzerland by Sunrise. Is there someone being by Sunrise Switzerland and having ppp working?
I am running hd2 mattc 1.6b.
for those with working PPP, sorry to say, it's only a matter of time for yours to crash...your lucky. There is still an issue with PPP in the latest kernel's. They are working on a fix. Hopefully you will still be lucky and your PPP build is still working when they update the kernel with a fix. For others with the hard freeze's. Your not alone, it's not your fault or radio, it's an error in the kernel. I don't take credit for this info, read the IRC channel and see for yourself. Straight from Letema & gauner1986- the devs who made PPP work in the first place on our HD2's.

Thank you for the info. I was getting crazy.. I had the Matt 1.7 ppp working for 2 days no problem at all. But after 2 days I'm having intermittent hard freeze when I start the apn. ..
I was going to try with a 2.10. Radio.. but after your post I will kelp 2.12 radio and move to rmnet
Thanks for sharing
I'm on 3 in Australia
In my case both PPP and RMNET are working for normal Internet, but I cannot access Plane 3 on PPP, but I can access with RMNET. Anyone has the same issue on 3 in other countries? or perhaps any solution on how to enable Planet 3 on PPP?

Complete lockup on Data Reconnect.

The issue occurs about 9 times out of 10. My wifi functions properly. Whenever I edit my wireless settings or turn the wifi off, therefore telling the phone to connect back to edge, the phone will lock up completely.
Unlocked HD2 on AT&T, running ChuckyDroid and Bangsters 1.3b
Steps I've taken to replicate the issue:
Turn on wifi or airplane mode (causing Edge to disconnect)
Turn wifi or airplane mode off (causing Edge to attempt a reconnect)
OR
Edit APN/check the 2g only box, causing a disconnect/reconnect of edge
Result:
Complete lockup, no functioning buttons or screen (cant even turn the phone's screen off). The only way to rectify this is by removing the battery.

I had freezing issues with Bangsters PPP build too, and I just switched to mccm SE 1.0 build (stable)
You can try first disabling all data connections on WinMo prior to booting Android like some people have suggested and see if this helps you.

A few people have reported this to be working people well for PPP builds. If not try mccm, but remember to change the APN settings to get MMS working.
You need to use a RMNET build (or switch to rmnet support) until PPP hard freeze issues are fixed.

I had the exact same problems with the cell data. You need to use rmnet since ppp builds are far.to unstable for normal use.

Man that really blows. I very much like this build so far, the freezing on data reconnect is very strange. I also experience the drop of data connection from time to time, and the only way to get it to come back on is to reboot (so far as I can tell at this point)
There is something of note I forgot...
At first when I tried shubcraft the cell data was stable most of the.time and didn't cause lockups on reconnects. It was a few days later it suddenly turned and would lockup after only 1 or 2 minutes uptime.
Usually the ppp builds I used where just unstable in general with 2 or 3 lockups a day.
Shubcraft basically had an aneurism.

+1 had the exact same thing happen to me...forced me to switch to the rmnet version
im using shubcraft, it locked up switching from wifi to data, even going from airplane mode back to data. going in and out of apn settings would lock up also. after ive change kernel it seems to disappear. what radio are you guys using. i had unstable data connection on 2.12.50 now im using 2.10.50.26 data is stable for a week now.
give this kernel a shot, might help might not. its from huanyu

I had the exact same problem with darkstone froyo sense!! it is due to unstable PPP drivers. But I liked PPP because of the speed and didn't want to give up on it.
And this build solved my problem. Its built from darkstone froyo sense so its very similar but has some added features and stable PPP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773790
I use the SE 1.0 version. it is rmnet but you can switch it to PPP by changing the startup.txt file. You just need to add a command to the cmdline to start it into PPP.
Some other things you can try are.
Put the phone in Airplane mode in WinMO before booting Android.
use RMNET version. slow but stable.

Bad signal reception occur on most of the Android Build

Hi , I m having bad signal reception on most of the android build , sometime phone signal disconnected unexpectedly , sometime no signal . But the same issue does not occur when using wm 6.5 at the exact same location.
Tried radio 2.12 and 2.14 , the issue still the same .
try switch to "GSM only" network (2G)
which builds? are they RMNET or PPP. Ive noticed that shrubcraft PPP build does this in areas of poor 3g signal.
PPP builds are known to be a bit flaky which switching between 2g and 3g.
It hapopens to me in a couple areas of work where signal is weak, it will get a few bars hsdpa, loose it, no signal, then go onto gprs, and repeat. its annoying.
Try using RMNET version, tends to be moire reliable.
Same here... it is same on ppp amd rmnet.. in areas where i had full 3g, i have only edge, sometimes weak 3g... i think it is because kernel undervolting i will try normal volted kernel...

running bangster 1.4, tried rmnet and ppp, axi, noaxi and evo, problem still persist.
i m not talking about the 2g or 3g those data conmectivity. the problem is there for only gsm signal.
tried others build, same problem.
bad reception is now on wm rom too.. i`m going to try another wm rom, if problem will be still there, device is going to repair centre.. hope it will be ok than...
my signal is fine but it disconnects from the internet randomly on both ppp and rmnet
It's definitely (for me at least) an Android only problem. On Winmo I get perfect totally stable 3G performance It is THE biggest limitation of Android on HD2 at the moment.

EXACTLY the same issue here!
I was on 2.12 and i installed yesterday 2.14 and got the same problem in android!
The signal disconnected in the middle of the city!!!
I had to switch "ON" the airplane mode and then "OFF" to get it back!
That's disappointing...
Same thing for me! I want definitely abandon wm but so is not possible! Is strange than other people do not report this problem!
+1 from me, bad reception in android too. Had to switch to gsm only mode.
Yeah it gets pretty bad sometimes... needs to be fixed...
Did any developer know the reason of causing no signal sometime even outdoor with full signal on anther phone? This is the main reason why i m still keep away my HD2 from android build.
my boss said why my phone always unreachable LOL

HD2 Europe mobile-reception not workin flawlessly

Hey guys,
i have constant battles with my HD2 running Android. The mobile reception and logically because of that APN is also not workin properly.
Example: I'm at home and have full mobile-reception and internet is working flawlessly. One second later nothings workin... The reception display shows 4/4 lines and one second later 0/4. But i didn't move.. Same with WLAN and APN..
I guess it's not a "build problem", cuz i had this with lots of builds. So it's maybe a windows mobile thing. I have flashed 2.12.50 radio and chucky droid rom.
I tried 2.14 but my conversational partners had very strong echos. (with MIUI-Build)
I searched the forum and googled but i didn't find any solution for this..
Really need this to be fixed.
thx bench

I don't know a lot about android. But i had similar "echo" problems when i used a TMOUS based rom. I use miris 1.80 based rom with 2.14 radio in the uk on vodafone with no problems.
Miri Rom Here: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2520
Have you tried a RMNET based android build. The data connection with those is slower but generally more stable. I use ppp but do get the data drop off. but turning the mobile data off and turning back on again sorts the problem.
It would probably better to post such questions in the android general section.

Same problem here. Signal drops quite frequently and for now i like the sense builds which you cant switch to 2G (unless im missing something). With other builds if i switch to 2G its sort of fine but slow data connection.
Same here, I live in holland and use the 2.14 Radio. I don't have a data plan yet (the phone is brand new), so it doesn't really bother me.. yet
we really do need a fix for this
Is nobody havin an idea?
Me 2
I´m having the same problem...anybody know a cure for this?
no problems here ... 2.10.5 radio
Same problem here,tryed different combo's with wm and Android,radio's etc......signal drops now and then.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Always signal drops here.. 35% of the time. Mesured with battery indicator.. only in Android not in winmo and I didnt find the right radio and rom for less drops.
Thats so strange. About every 10mins i have a totally data loss. Tried different radios and roms. Nothing helped. As i tried 2.14 i had strong echo issues.
i uploaded some screenshots. They're all taken at the same place. So you can see how strange these reception changes are...

Boy I'm glad to see this thread, I thought it was just me!
I am having exactly the same issue, and have done since using android builds. The only workaround I have is to switch on plane mode, and then switch it off again which seems to work for an hour or two. But then the signal goes all wonky again.
I wonder if this is also affecting the battery life. I'm sure I read somewhere once that loss of signal results in more battery use as the phone is constantly trying to locate signal.
I have tried a number of radio/rom combinations with no real change. As mentioned above, if I switch to 2G the signal seems more stable, but the data is unbearably slow.
I'm in the UK by the way.

I had this issue with Android that signal drops for no reason. The trick to my problem? Disable in the Netwok Mode "GSM/WCDMA Auto" and choose "GSM Only". Now the signal should work flawlessly without drops. It worked for me

Its not your router. Its kernel related. For some reason alot off people are having wifi troubles with newer kernels. I also have dlink and wifi is alwaysjacked up. It was fine with older kernels.

Are you having this problem on cm6 builds, or just sense builds?
If you use search tool u'll find the proper tool that fixes this issue...
Please use search option before posting.
Thanks
Er.. what are ya talking about there is yet to be any fix for the ppp problem - unless i'm mistaken ?
With the newest kernels, and CM6 (hyperdroid ultimate) my data connection freezes INSANELY often. Really sucks.
in my opinion usability was generally better when i first started slapping android onto my HD2 several months ago.. I've gone through so many kernels i can barely remember which ones worked now..
really hoping for some gingerbread action statistico or if WP7 actually runs well i'd give up android for general usability..
I am still looking for a kernel + build combo for a stable ppp connection. the ppp disconnection drives me crazy~
