Data Services Turns Itself Off

Anyone have this issue? After using the phone for a couple of hours, I have to actually either reboot the phone or turn the data services off and then on again in order to regain the data services in the on position. It seems to turn itself off various times throught the day. Anyone else having the same problem. I am running a T Mobile HTC HD2. I can't update weather, stocks or email until I reboot the phone. HELP ME PLEASE, DRIVING ME CRAZY!

You should try and contact T-Mobile for the full specifications of how to set up the internet connections on your HD2. This is what I did with Vodafone, and they sent me a whole list of items to set up on my device, such as the connection name, modem, access point, name & password and full proxy settings, for both HTTP and WAP.
Also, try and go to your network settings, and somewhere there should be an Advanced tab of some sort, where you can select from Mobile Internet and My Work Network. Always use Mobile Internet, as I have had trouble with My Work Network many times before.
Sorry I couldn't help you more. =/

I some times have problems but i dont quilify to help you since im using a unlocked hd2 and on the att network and not the default rom

You have a bad combination of Rom and Radio Rom.
(yes, even the stock rom and radio rom can be a bad combination)
Solution is flashing another radio.

[Q] Edge data connection

I just got my DHD yesterday and I'm having a problem getting a GSM data connection. Where I live only Edge is available and when I turn on the mobile networks it won't make a data connection. Before I got this phone I had a HD2 that I was running Android on and I noticed only about half of the builds would have a working Edge data connection, if I knew what the difference was maybe I would know better what to do here. Any suggestions?

I found the answer, all I needed to do was make a new APN and point it to my carrier's URL. In Thailand for AIS it was www.ais.co.th if anyone else is having a similar problem.

maybe the settings not right form your provider. was running hd2 before as well but on wm. i just put the sim in my dhd and it asked me to configure everything automaticly. clicked yes and everything works, even mms works without any manual config. was pretty hard on my hd2 to get it to work.

Market stuck "Downloading"

Hi, I just got a brand new Xperia Play and am loving it so far, aside from one infuriating issue.
When I'm on WIFI I simply cannot download anything from the market, I've been messing with this for the past 2 hours, things I've tried:
Clearing app cache of several apps related to downloading
Toggling WIFI / 3G
Restarting phone
Updating to latest firmware
Reset to factory settings
Play with router wireless settings
Reinstall router firmware
The only thing that did something is clearing the cache of the download manager, after I did that I was able to install one thing from the market. But it only worked once, it's not working anymore.
I'm also unable to play youtube video's when using wifi.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? My phone is brand new, so it can't be something I did with it.
Also, up till today I had an HTC Magic, which did not have the problem on the same wireless network. It did have occasional "download starting" hiccups, but nothing like this.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Edit2: False alarm, still not working.. seems to come and go

You have the weirdest problem.. Did you check your router to see if it's generating enough ip addresses for all your wireless devices?
What is the distance between you and your router and what kind of router is it? I believe the play has a weaker wifi radio, so it might be dcing too often to stream and download.. Try standing closer to the router to see if there is a difference first.

I'm right next to the router and the web interface shows a full signal, so it can't be that. I can also see in the web interface that an ip address was assigned.
I've tried setting the phone as the DMZ and disabling the router firewall. No luck with that either.
I also tried upgrading my router firmware from Tomato to DD-WRT and doing a factory reset, but again .. no luck.
I'm running out of ideas, it seems the problem originates from Android and not my router, but I can't think of anything else I could try. Could it be an issue with the Android network in my location?

Omfg.. 3/4 hours later I finally got it, and this one wasn't suggested anywhere else so hopefully this will help some others in the future.
I had to go into wireless settings on my phone, click menu, go to advanced and then manually configure the network connection. Make sure your router has reserved an ip for you and use that one, otherwise you might end up trying to use one that is already in use.
After that it all seems to be working for me (so far). Fingers crossed that it won't stop working again.

Yea you couldn't find the answer anywhere else because it seemed like it was an isolated incident. Gratz for figuring it out though.

Next day, working fine in the morning. Couple hours later and it's back to getting stuck on "Downloading". Tried toggling static ip with no luck.
God this is incredibly annoying. I'm guessing it'll magically start working again at some point, and then stop working again later.
From what I've found through google this bug has been around since the very first version and not a single solution has been offered by google. Seriously this is ridiculous

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same issues.... Normal browsing, etc works fine on WIFI but market just wont work on WIFI.
I dont even see the device hitting my router when I try to download thru the market. Other network connections are seen by my router.
I wonder if it might be linked to the the fact that I'm running a UK rom on my device. When I'm using my data connection off Rogers, it actually does a RMNET to the British government... So we are seen as downloading from the UK.. Just an idea...
It's annoying as hell....

I was going to say download speedtest.net app when you can and see what it yields... but I see you've got it figured out. Nice!

Interesting, so you're saying that google somehow classifies us as UK users, which causes problems when switching to WIFI, which is not classified as a UK connection?
It would make sense, seeing as it seems to start working again after a while.. which could mean that whatever info google is caching on us is expired and it finally adopts the WIFI connection info.
Still, I have doubts about that.. I mean wouldn't a LOT more Rogers users be complaining about this?

The only persons that would be complaining are people like us running UK roms but our WIFI is coming from a canadian provider. In my case Videotron.
So when i<m using 3g data, i'm seen as coming from the UK because of the RMNET connection and when using WIFI i'm seen as Canadian... with a uk rom.
I've read that the market DOES have regions... might not be 100% correct on that but it might be part of my issue.
Mine BTW, never works anymore even after clearing cache, FC the market, etc...

lol i got the opposite problem i have trouble downloading stuff from the market using 3g but works perfect using wifi
not really an issue since im not an app whore

Its not a issue on play all phones has that. Simply log in to your Talk app then try again. (launch Gtalk app and login)

Thanks, but i had already tried that.
Reinstalled the UK rom yesterday, and even after a clean install market still doesnt work on WIFI even tho my WIFI works for browsing, accessing my computer thru RDP, etc.

This only works for some people.
My market has been working for a day now (I didn't do anything to fix it), I'm expecting it to stop working any moment. Fingers crossed.
Edit: Aaand there we go.. stopped working again. Sigh.

Got the same issue both on my Nexus S (Videotron) and (which is strange), on My Motorola Xoom Tablet which only has wifi, no 3g !!
Edit: If I connect my tablet thru my cell phone (wifi tethering) I have no problem with market

ok so me and mobidoy are both on Videotron...
Naatan I see you are in quebec... Videotron also?
Starting to believe it migh be an issue with them

hey
im in videotron too and since 4 days i cant watch youtube on youtube app and my download on market stay stuck in green bar!! i have a toshiba thrive android 3.1!!!!!
when i connect with a 3g router or on the wi fi in my city everything work again
so it clear that videotron is the problem!!!!

Had the same problems
First time hard reset fixed it.
Second time by magic, sorry. I was about to send the phone to repairs
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?

I've been having the exact same problem as you and can't seem to find a way to solve this. I just purchased a Galaxy Tab 10.1, WIFI only, and at home nothing will download from the Android market. It just gets stuck. Youtube videos also dont work via the app.I tried it out at a friends and everything worked flawlessly.
At home, I also have Videotron internet. I just called them, and tried to explain to their customer service but obviously they were quick to blame it on anything else they could. They said they did not block any ports either.
I read a thread about some vodafone users in the UK having a similar problem than us:
Edit: It wont let me post an external link because I'm a new user, but the post is on androidforums.com and is titled "ANDROID MARKET download/update problem via WiFi"
It seems their problem was fixed after calling Vodafone.
I'm also inclined to point fingers at Videotron since its odd we are all customers of theirs.

Just called Videotron technical support, they have an open ticket about it since yesterday morning and are actualy working on the issue !! There is hope !!

[Q] HD2 Nand Android Radio Issue

Hey all, today I unlocked a UK O2 HTC HD2 and I'm now using it with a T-Mobile SIM which is great - calls and texts are fine. However I cannot use my mobile data connection which (I think) is because I need another radio flashing. Is there any way of doing this through mAGLDR/cLK (as I don't have the original WP6.5 ROM and my laptop refuses to use the RUU to restore WP6.5 on my phone).
Also I'm not 100% certain that it's a radio issue as GPS, WiFi and other data connections work. I've downloaded T-Mobile's settings to use on the phone, too, which are currently installed.
I've searched for ages on this and I don't think another question like this exists, but if it does please just link me to it
Thanks in advance,
-Adam

Just going to check that out now. Thanks mate.
Update: Data is enabled. And my network operator is set to T-Mobile UK. Could it be another setting?
EDIT: Ok my phone just spontaneously changed its data symbol from R to H and I received an email! I guess that means my phone is fixed now. Thanks for the reply anyway and sorry for time wasting!

Lol, sometimes just opening a setting and then exiting "refreshes" the setting and android applies it. As long as you see that ther is an APN(which from your post was T-Mobile UK) then all should be well.

[Q] No Internet Sharing after traveling

So, I have a Verizon Wireless Trophy. I was thrilled to finally be able to use Internet Sharing, and I had it working fine. Then I travelled internationally and was using my Trophy on another carrier with a local SIM card. After returning home, I am no longer able to use Internet Sharing. As soon as I try to enable it, I get this error: Connection not shared - There's no cellular data connection to share right now. Check your cellular settings and signal, and try again. Yet my data connection is working fine. My guess is that the Connection Setup app messed something up?
I did contact HTC support, they basically said that they are aware of the issue but have no further information to give me.
Anyone else experience this? Any workarounds?
Many thanks,
I. Kinal

Are you using it on Verizon Wireless? If so, you need to have an official Internet Sharing package, or read my first post in my custom rom for instructions on bypassing it. This works even with the official SparkW (VZW) Trophy rom.
I'm assuming you are using the stock rom.

Yes, I am on Verizon with a Share Everything plan - like I said, everything was working fine before I left the US.
Yes, I am using the stock ROM.

Yeah, just try the PST modification. It's easy to do and it should make wifi hot spot work, assuming you have a data connection. I too, used to be able to use tethering with or without the dun mod, but since Verizon added the internet sharing package to their website, I must do the bypass.

Unfortunately, that did not work - had no effect.
I should add that that trick is how I got Internet Sharing working in the first place, despite the fact that I have a Share Everything plan.

Are you running Tango update (OS Version 8773)? If you used interop unlock to enable it in Mango v1, then the newest driver changes the method in which it works (I doubt you used interop unlock to enable it at all).
Do you have any data access on the phone at all? Can you load websites? If you can't, you need to open up Connection Setup and re-select Verizon Wireless even if you've already done it once, and that should reset the data connection (conversely, if you have data and select it, data will disappear).

Yes, my OS Version is 8773.
This phone has never been interop unlocked.
Data works just fine.

Same issue with me - Internet Sharing worked fine, but after using SIM card with international operator and trying to use Internet Sharing on Verizon I get the same message: "Connection not shared - There's no cellular data connection to share right now. Check your cellular settings and signal, and try again." Data service works fine by itself but not ICS. Any solutions?
