Xepria X10: 3G APN not working but showing 3G on the top bar.. suspect juicedefender

Hi
Allow me to vent. I am not a very satisfied customer. I am having a lot of problems with this device. the most irritating being the battery life as well as 3g function. After reading up about the battery life problem I installed juicedefender. Not a bad app for what its worth, only if it worked correctly. Ever since I installed it, it has been causing issues with the APN which is apparently a known problem. The APN does not turn on fully? I have now uninstalled it but its causing intermitent internet connection problems still, cant seem to figure that one out.
Anyways, I can see the 3G and H icons on the top bar showing activity, but nothing seems to work. I can't browse, no other applications really picking up any data at all. I have loads of apps that need to be connected all the time.
Anyone have any ideas on how to deal with these issues? I am really getting annoyed now. I tried out a mate's desire, it seems so much better and faster.
There are lots of other issues I am facing but I wanted to keep this thread focused on the most troubling issue, the 3g connectivity.
Please respond with suggestions.

Re: Xepria X10: 3G APN not working but showing 3G on the top bar..
I would start with a factory reset. Failing that, reflash with SEUS.

Hi -Which network are you on? try deleting the APN and re-setup the internet settings.

reluctant to do a factory reset. Got too much stuff on there. I have switched to 2g and its working so far, but not ideal obviously. I am stuff with 2g and a battery life that doesnt last 7 hours. I am not pleased at all.

Reluctant or not I would do it, looks like juicedefender screwed something up, or you have a hardware issue like a bad antenna. When your phone battery drops below 15% and the phone prompts you click "why?" and let us know what the results are. I have been using my phone all day today for the past 14 hours and have 45% battery left not using any juice defender (which I think messes with Android)

Delete the A P N
Did you try deleting the Apn's and re creating them? it's really easy to do and won't lose any of your other data or config off the phone.

Occasionally I have this same issue. However it only started happening after I debranded my handset and upgraded from 1.4 to 1.6. I have not installed juice defender whilst being on 1.6.
I did have to recreate my APN's but my data connection started working immediately afterwards. I've noticed that it drops every now and again without warning. When the connection has dropped i still have the 3g\H symbol.

I am on o2 in the UK and had the same issue after using juice defender, basically it changes your APN by inserting it's own APN text. Even after uninstalling the app it doesn't delete it's settings.
All you need to do is recreate your APN settings, I am sure you can get them off the T-mobile website.

does anyone got the APN setting for T-Mobile (USA). my phone doesn't show any data signal.
Thanks.

Found your problem.

iead1, if you had read my post correctly, I uninstalled the app as it was causing the issue. The 3G stopped working altogether after the uninstall. Had to delete the APN and recreate it with the same settings. That fixed the problem.

Re: Xepria X10: 3G APN
Had the same problem. Juicedefender edited my apn to juicedefender.live.vodafone.com and because of that no internet access. I just deleted juicedefender and reset my apn to get it working again

The X10 can't do traditional video calling. It doesn't have a front facing camera.

Legend wifi issues

Hi,
I am wondering if anybody has similar problems with wifi - 3g/data connection works perfectly, but when I am connected over wifi, after sometime the connection dies and I have to disable wifi and enable it again, in order to restore network access. I hoped that froyo would fix that, but as there is no froyo on the horizon I decided to ask.
The phone firmware is 2.1 update1
Software number 2.05.405.2
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

Yes I get this too. The connection is still active but many apps suddenly decide to notify me that I need a WiFi/3G connection before I can use them. Turning WiFi off and back on fixes it. This also happens on my branded Desire running 2.1, which may imply it is related to the router settings. I will have to test on other routers. My WLAN is configured to 802.11g only, WPA2-PSK only (WPA-PSK and 802.11b not allowed) on channel 13.

actually great to know that i'm not the only one. i get this all the time, and i even emailed htc about this and response was retarded. they told me how to connect to my router. i tried pretty much everything on this issue. connect and reconnect, change channel from 13 to 11 or 14, nothing seems to be working. hopefully 2.2 will change all this.

i think the htc legend has the worst wifi reception for all phones of 300 $
havent noticed a single improvement with every update

I had this problem with my first legend. The touch screen malfunctioned so I brought it back and got a replacement. The new one is much better. I am very happy with it.
For instance, in my home office I could never connect with my first legend, it would say association failed when trying to associate with the AP. On my new one it works and I've had it sitting on the desk now for about 4 hours and I picked it up and unlocked it and the wifi worked immediately.

I very occasionally had this until I switched the wifi sleep policy to never after reading somewhere that it would actually increase battery life and haven't had this problem since. Not noticed any difference with battery life though I only switch wifi on when I need it and off when I'm finished.

For what it's worth, I have the same problem and I'm sure it's related to my phone, not the routers.
I hade no problems with this before my last OTA update...
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

i dont want to hijack the thread but is the wifi antenna like **** for everyone or is just me?
im thinking that it might be the aluminium case that shield the antenna because reception is unbeliavable bad
im curious to know if desire/nexus mount the same wifi antenna as legend

if you put static ip it works perferct for me

I only have a problem very occasionally with wifi, maybe once per month, and I think this has more to do with my crappy router than anything else.

I have the same problem with WiFi cutting out afters while even when the phone hasn't been moved and when its situated inches from the router
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

Generally it is not good idea to have router and client too close together. That way radio noise increases and that's not good.

Thanks for the tip. but it does it downstairs too when Im watching TV the phone is well away from all electrical appliances, after toggling wifi bOFF/ON I get full signal strength.

Same here. After a few minutes normal browsing on Wifi, pages seem get so far then refuse to load. Only solution is to turn WiFi off then re-connect. The WiFi permission is set to never sleep. I'm not rooted and running stock wwe 2.3 ruu.

Same here!

Anybody have any ideas how to resolve this issue? It's really frustrating having to re-connect wifi every 5 mins. Possibly to do with debranding to stock wwe 2.3 ruu from Vodafone?

looking forward to getting rid of this phone once I get my htc desire z, HTC doesn't seem to care about it since the only recent OTA they released made it worse

Unexpected call drop

Hy guys, maybe I have a problem on my terminal: when I am in a phone call it happens that he cut off the conversation without pressing the end button (even if on speaker and phone on the table, nobody touching it).
It did twice of self reboot since I bought it ( some months) and no one since long time, so I don't think it's MB fault... At least I hope...

Developer unlocked (through registry), flashed firmware from Vodafone it to TIM then OPEN... (But I think doesn't matter the firmware), Already tried to reboot and battery pull....
One last thing, it happened, couple of times since I have it that he showed instead of signal bars a simbol with SIM and a logged signal, like "invalid SIM"... Went in offline mode than back online and back working, no restart required

Usually if 3g is on and you can't pick up 3g signam it keep cutting out, so if I'm not getting proper 3g signal I switch 3g off in the settings and everythings works ok.
Sent from my LG-E900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

I have the same problem, even after a reflash it drops calls, and sometimes has problems reconnecting. My operator is WIND, something tells me it's relevant... Awful signal and audio quality!

If its running in 3gmode and looses 3G signal--> call drops because the phone is registering in the network over GSM again

Terrible wifi connection on note 3!

Has anyone else been experiencing this. I am connected with BT home hub and it's awful. Connection drops literally every few seconds. It was fine with note 2. Any soloutions? I really like the phone but these small glitches are making me angry now. First it was stock browser which I have stopped using in favour of boat, then the biggest selling feature S pen it's sensivity was really bad I fixed it by adjusting the potentiometer and now the wifi signal. I really hope there is a fix for it.

No problems for mi.

Had some problems with Fritzbox, especially on the first two days. The connection was not stable, although I had no problems with Note 1, and I have no problems with any other devices. But after the first days this problem with Note 3 was gone by itself. Maybe you should wait...

From Note 2 it might not be so good .. im not completely sure yet but I do keep getting the annoying warning message on my status bar.

i got mine this morning.. i have a bt modem as well and it keeps dropping all the time.. think im gonna give it a day then if it continues ill just take it and get it exchanged..

Works fine on a Netgear router...
Some routers have issues with newer phones. (and some with older ones, as well.). Have you tried updating your router Firmware? Reset your router?
Also, set the connection type to Static, not DHCP.

i was thinking it was the modem but my s4 works fine.. already called EE about a replacement..

mine works fine.. better then my old device!
my Netgear router is located on the first floor at the front of my house (in the office). in the master bedroom ensuite i got like 1 bar on my old device..
now i get full bars..
I live in a newer development area and i am on the boarder of LTE coverage.. on any other device i get 4G in my house.. now i get 2 bars of LTE..
pretty satisfied..
now speaking of software jitters and such.. that's a different story

Mine works great

the wifi issue is the only problem i have.. smh.. EE says they out of stock of the note 3.. so i gotta wait til they have to send replacement

WiFi access points don't get better with age. The hardware is upgraded constantly and even firmware updates can't change the hardware. An old WiFi access point of 2-3 years will not work as well as the newer ones do.

WLAN connectivity and speed is real bad on a fritzbox 6360 cable (fritzos v05.50). Sometimes full speed with ~4+ mb/s, a bit later resends and timeouts all the time. foldersync is a pain over wlan. today i needed 1h+ to download my apps from playstore after flashing omega rom. Cabel connection speed 100 mbit! 2.4 ghz or 5 ghz, static ip - no changes hope there will be a modem update for the note3 or a fritzos update that fix it.

what was the problem you had before the update?

Went into a coffee shop. Where there is free wifi if you buy something. It was me and a friend. My s4 had full signal. And my new note 3 struggling to get connection it kept saying checking quality which is really annoying. Anywhere my s4 gets connection the note 3 checks quality and drops. Im right next to the router at home and this note 3 wants to check quality of the connection. Never had a problem with the s4.

Mobile Internet connection

Hi, sorry for disturbing, I have a weird connection problem and I am pretty sure it is not the internal antenna... When i use the phone for Internet, mail etc etc.... Everything goes fine it uses a 4G connexion and I almost never have a problem, I do have a problem Sometimes when I am not in a 4G covered area... Than i have to change the network modus to wcdma /gsm automatic because if I leave it on lte /wcdma /gsm the phone is jumping all the time between hspda /h/edge gprs... And this goes fast like that that connection fail... This problem stops when i change modus than I get a stable 3g connection.... A little bit disturbing but Okay..... The biggest problem is that I m always connected with my messenger services like for example WhatsApp.... When i have the phone in my hand no problem at all.... But when he stays on the table or in my pocket it is kinda weird.... Sometimes I don't recieve my messages and than suddenly when I pick up my phone I get like ten messages in once starting from like half hour before.... All this started like three weeks ago, network provider say there are no network problems, I didn't drop my phone or something... Internet connection is just acting very strange lately and this started before I updated to the official 4.4 rom and didn t change after...... I also have to tell that I don’t have problems at all with phone calls or texts messages..... It's just those two mobile Internet issues.... Since i m only good for using the phone and don't know nothing about the technical parts or something... I wanted to ask the question to all of you experts.... And wanted to ask for help and if possible a solution? I want to thank you in advance and hope you guys can help me soon.... Kind regards...

Try different modem perhaps?

Hi thanks for answering.... Tried everything.... Still same two connection problems..... Only thing I didn't do yet was a hard reset.... Could this problem be caused by an application or a bad uninstalled application? Thanks in advance

Hmmmmm, highly unlikely from my point of view, but however there could be some apps locked into 2G or 3G or 4G connection.
Try how clean system doing, if it's same, consider it a hardware problem which there is nothing we can do about it...

samsung s4
i am having network issues
wifi works good
2g works good
3g/4g doesnt work at all no signal if i select these networks
is it a modem issue or kernel issue
