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.

Really need some help on data from people in the know

Hi guys
wondering if someone can help me with an issue im having regarding mobile data useage. I am in the UK and I live in an area where 3g is non existant so I have switched to GSM only in the settings. My problem is my phone is constantly using data and I dont know why or how to stop it.
I downloaded an app to show mobile useage, calls, text, data etc
My provider charges me £4 per 1 Mb (this is 1024kb yeah?)
Well I then went into the settings and edited the providers auto settings to stop it from connecting, and left my wi fi on. When I went to bed, my data was showing 0.24Mb, when I woke up this morning it was showing 1.23Mb (with a cost of over £4)
What is causing this? Far as I can tell I have manually stopped the phone from connecting but something is using data. I have the Gmail sync option enabled (but wi fi was on) but still, it went up 1 Mb whilst I slept.
Can someone help me out with this issue please as its starting to confuse me

As far as I know, push email doesn't work over wifi. So if you have google syncing enabled, it keeps a small mobile connection open at all times over which email notifications are sent.
I'm not an IT guy, so I might be wrong But just try to disable syncing and see what happens!

I opened the thread "strange bug" related to this. In my case it uses more 3g band only if it's attached to the pc via usb. When I must attach the X10 to the pc I disable the apn with apndroid.

gmail does work on wifi as far as I can tell. However, I have now gone further into the internet settings and wiped all of the data and the phone now cannot connect. Now this will save me a bundle of cash, but also means that I cant get my internet connection when away from wifi. The APN apps looked good but a lot say dont work with CDMA networks, which I can only assume im on as the apps do nothing

I use WiFi too. But when X10 is attached to the pc it continues to use 3g band even if in the notification bar the WiFi icon appears.

well I didnt know that.
I can confirm that Gmail sync DOES work over wi-fi as I have completely deleted the phones internet settings now and am still getting my email.
So this means I will no longer be getting charged for data useage, but cant get internet other than wi fi

cybrid3, you didnt need to wipe the apn/internet settings, there is a simple tick box in /wireless controls /mobile networks/ MMS and data <<, unticking this will stop the phone from using any mobile data (sms/texting still works).
Turning off 3g doesnt make any difference as the phone still uses data over gprs or gsm.
These phones are real data hogs and its best to get a cheap plan if you can.

yeah, but if I disabled it all, then I would not longer have MMS and that is something I do use

Ask your provider to:
1. block data
or
2. give you APN settings for MMS only.

Theres also the possibility that wifi is set to disable itself after the phone goes to sleep.
I left my wifi settings on and let the phone sleep. Based on testing through the wifi active time on spare parts, the phone accessed data through the carrier.

ask your provider for wap access not data
its very cheap
this way u can send and get mms

Why don't you get a plan that includes unlimited data? Only cost me £5 a month extra for that on uk vodafone.. Well worth it.

I have unlimited data, but they say I have gone over my fair use policy so something has been in the background. It used 1 MB whilst I slept. The plans with fair use of 1GB seem pretty useless now

[Q] Can't turn off 3G

I don't have an unlimited data plan so I normally turn my 3G on and off manually when I need to. But today my 3G icon keeps coming up on the tab even when i have the settings as off. I checked my data usage from my carrier and it is indeed eating up data. I've tried restarting the phone but it's still the same.
Any idea of why this is happening and how to resolve this?
Thanks in Advance

try APNdroid, you can find it in the Market.

If you have your data disabled then it shouldn't be coming on. Check your permissions to see if you have an app on your phone that has permission to mess with your network settings.

APNDroid would work for your situation very well, however, I've had problems sending MMS's when I've had APNDroid installed (even with "enable MMS" checked).
Another option that would probably work very well is DroidWall (on the market-free). It's a firewall for your mobile data and WiFi, customizable for each allowing individual programs through. A widget on your homescreen turns it on or off. You could have it set so programs can always use WiFi, yet mobile data is blocked unless you turn the widget to "off". That wy no programs can actually transmit anything even if they have permissions set in the program. DroidWall has final say of what leaves.
I downloaded 3GWatchdog free, and was so impressed I purchased the Pro version for ~$2.50. The Pro version allows you to see specifically what program has used mobile data, and how much. That, along with DroidWall, will allow me to completely customize and control my mobile data while still retaining as much functionality as possible.

Ok Well I downloaded both APNDroid and Watchdog and now I can't even turn on 3G. I just uninstalled both of them and turn my phone off and on still no 3G.
Thanks anyway guys. I getting really close to giving up on Android and moving to the iphone. Every other day there's a new problem with this mobile OS and I always have to download an app rectify something that shouldn't be happening in the first place. It's getting ridiculous.

Did you turn your mobile data back on before uninstalling APNdroid? If not, you might want to look into that
No offense, but I dont think its Android that is the problem. Have you taken the time to fully understand the phone? I havent had a hitch since I got this phone. Once you reinstall APNdroid, enable your data, and then remove the app. If you would like to manually turn off your mobile data then do this menu>settings>wireless & networks>mobile networks>uncheck data enabled
If you dont want to go through the hassle of that, download an app to do it for you. Quick settings can do it. Open quick settings>menu>preference>statusbar shortcut *To access quick settings from status bar* Then hit back>menu>customize>move up mobile data(APN) from hidden settings. Then all you have to do is click on or off for mobile data.
You can also download various widgets that can do this for you without having to go into quick settings. APNdroid being one of them. I use Widgetsoid.

[Q] No Data connections via Phone in Android

Hi:
I am using AmeriCanAndroid AOSPHD2GB232CM7RC1|bkup2sdext234[KERNEL:AmCanAndroid r2.21] and just about everything works perfectly.
The only issue I seem to have is in Android, I cannot use the mobile phone to get internet. The Phone sends and receives call perfectly, but if I want to use Market or the browser, I get the error:
A NETWORK ERROR HAS OCCURED. rETRY OR cANCEL AND RETURN TO PREVIOUS SCREEN.
I think I have tried every combination of settings in the wireless section. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help!

the only known temp(!) fix is to restart ur phone , given ur settings are correct it should work for a while .... have you been switching data on/off a few times? thats when it happens to me ....
be sure to report this problem to rom cooker so it gets fixed faster ...

When you say restart, do you mean restart android? I don't think I have ever been connected, unless there was WIFI in the area.

I use this ROM without these problems.
Try to check the apn and the DNS. Have a look at the faq.

Do you use the right one?

having same problem... only wifi works

I'm using the Telstra version. Could that be it?

same problem!!
i have the same problem but im using HD2Froyo_V2.1.7z.
everything works perfectly fine except for my data connection.
the only way i can use the internet is via wifi

No data connection
Yes I also has the same problem. Please let me know if you find a solution. Wifi works fine on my HD2 after flashing to Anroid 2.2 Bur no data connection through phone connection.
Thanks,
Mathew

No Data connection
I am have the same problem on my phone also. Have the T-Mobile phone using the ATT system. Have tried several different roms and still cannot get a Data connection. A lot of us need some help please. If anyone can shed light on this, please let us know.

call t-mobile
i called t-mobile and told them, i could only connect to the internet via wifi. i pay for data and i cant connect unless its through wifi. DO NOT mention that you flashed your phone, put a different ROM or Android.
After doing this my internet started to work again
hopes this helps

do you set your APN?

May I ask what you told TMO?
I read in an older post that you may have to switch from smartphone data plan to android data plan to connect to the internet, does anyone have any idea about this??
I also am curious if my build is synonymous with failed data connection... as well as (not related item) battery sucking....???or any other know issues as I seem to misplaced the page I downloaded it from...

Data connection lost completely

Bit of an odd one, I installed widgetsoid to allow me to turn off data network,flip screen rotation and wireless. All was ok until yesterday evening. Regardless of what I did I had no data connection at all and still don't.
I have removed widgetsoid completely and still have no normal data. I have ensured data is activated,my network is selected as orange but I still see no 3g or edge...thankfully I'm at home on wireless but as soon as I leave the house I won't be receiving emails etc.
If anyone has experience with this issue then let of know!

Check your APN settings etc you may need to manual remake all your network details .

Hi a bit of history first. I used kies to flash my phone with 2.3.4. (UK based). It work perfectly for a few days. I then need to restart my phone when I did this I lost my data connection.
I tried accessing the APN settings but i get an error message. I tried everything I even flashed Lightning 6.1 (also 2.3.4). and when I reset the phone again the data connection was not working I have to do a complete reboot. I assume it is has something to do with 2.3.4. I am in South Africa on the MTN network can someone help me with this.

I have the same problem and opened a thread on q&A section please look at there.
