Hi guys - hoping someone can help me!
I've found the perfect droid build for my tastes and battery consumption, but the problem is, my mobile web isn't working! The 'G' or 'H' icon appears, with the 2 arrows, and the left hand side one flickers on/off every so often, but I don't get a connection.
Now, I freely admit that I'm not very good with stuff like this, so I wonder if anyone can suggest some things to try and get my 3g up and running? I pay for unlimited data on my contract, so I really could do with it!
Is it worth swapping radio, or don't you think that will be causing it?
MDJ FroYo Streak Lite v1.1
Using kernel that comes with this build
Radio 2.12.50.02_2
Winmo ROM is Chuckydroid
Cheers guys
Bump.
It's not the APN settings as I've re-entered them. Any suggestions?
Sounds like the ROM, that specific ROM has had data issues. He's got a newer version, I'd download that and try it out, or back-up your ROM and plug-in a new kernel and see what happens.
Thanks man. I guess I'll try a different build - gutted though, as I love everything else about this one!
My phone has also taken to randomly restarting itself, or just switching itself off too. That's very annoying. It's done that on the last few rom's I've used. I might just go back to WinMo soon if it keeps doing it - it's pissing me the hell off, as for some reason, texts sent when my phone is off, don't come through when it comes back on.

well no recent ROMs i've used have had any of these issues. Check out my set-up in my sig. Maybe flash NRG and 2.15.50 and see if you still have these issues.
It's been happening for a while now. I can have full signal on H, then suddenly no H, E, or G. Data does not reconnect automatically; I have to force it by switching Airplane mode On/Off. I saw something in the forums about a radio update, but I heard that removes ability to change permroot/S-OFF. Please help me clarify this, and if there is an update, is it safe and should I install it.
Stock ROM, temp-rooted with Visionary and permrooted with HBOOT/WPTHIS_OTA method. Kernel is the one linked in my signature thing [1497KHz] and pushed Wi-Fi module. Hopefully that's enough info. Let me know if you need my SSN# ...lol

Does it do this when the phone is still???

Don't see how that correlates with my problem? Still or moving, it happens randomly.

I have been experiencing this exact problem quite often over the last two weeks. I am using CM 6.1.1 in Chicago.
same situation happens to me...nvr seem to have a solid 3g/H in my house. While my blackberry will be having 3G all day. The g2 will fluctuates from H -> G -> E and stays like that. So annoying that ruins the experience of having a good data phone.
Same problem here! It happens from time to time, I have to switch off/on data to get reconnected.
Also happens when I turn off wifi after a long period of use, It won't reconnect to the carrier's data.
I had this when I switched over to CM 6.1.1. I thought it was CM so I flashed my backup, then decided to try it again. The problem I found was Pershoot's kernel. My data connection would drop and come up on it's own and was happening while I was using data. I've been running CM 6.1.1 with it's kernel and haven't had this problem since.
Same here running latest Virt (tmous g2) and I *think* it's running a pershoot hybrid.
I have never run Pershoot's kernel, and have always used the kernel included with CM. It seems to be recent (last two weeks) problem for me. The phone cycles from 3G->G->E->3G->H. The worst, however, is when it shows 3G->H but cannot connect to anything. The only solution is to turn off the data and let it reconnect.
I think it might actually be network related and not hardware / software. Maybe too many new phones activated around the Holidays? The reason I think this is that my Nexus One keeps having similar problems --- even on different ROMs.
Could be either?
I used to be on Mobilicity in Canada and experienced this (random disconnects from data several times a day, wouldn't automatically reconnect), switched to Wind and I haven't had this problem.
Stock G2 ROM, unlocked, s-off, su visionary
Data Problems...
Ignore my signature I'm currently on G2.
I think the problem you all have might be a TMobile problem.
I live in Madison TN / Nashville TN and I been having that data drop problem for going on a year now. Happended on every phone I been on Mytouch 3G Mytouch Slide Samsung Vibrant HD2 and now I'm on the G2 that I bought yesterday. Also had the same problem on a Nexus one.
The situation was that I will have all my bars and a 3G/H symbole and my connection would just fall a sleep with the 3G still in corner. Put phone in airplane mode and take it out airplane mode and my downloads will resume.
This process would happen after 15 min or 20 min of constant data.
2 days ago I started calling tmobile to get this fixed. Told them I didn't have this problem on ATT and Verizon so they put in a service ticket with the engineers and they claim it should be resolved in the next couple days if mot to give them a call back and to forward my call straight to level 2 tech support.
More people should complain about it.
That happended across atleast 5 different pda phones and 3 different sim cards. Yeah some of the phones had custom roms but each phone shouldn't have the same symptons.
The cellular towers in my area must really have a problem and I'm expecting a credit on my account lol.
PS connection is perfect on Edge though... Just slow...
Could it be because of overclock?? What if a certain CPU speed doesn't play well with the radio?? Just a thought...

For that to happen to me on 5 different devices that will tell you that CPU speed has nothing to do with it. Best I can say is to reset your phone to stock and give TMobile a call and let them know the situation. If you dont, nothing will be done about it.
I say to return to stock because if you dont, there reps will try there best to put the blame on you and the custom software. But from my experience being on Nexus One / MyTouch Slide / MyTouch 3G / Samsung Vibrant / HD2 / G2 all having the same exact problem????
Yeah the problem is on TMobile end...

Is it the same EXACT problem I'm describing? Or are you talking about general reception? Because some people on here with different ROMs (or radios) have mixed results. I'm in an HSPA+ area with full signal usually, but I keep having my data disconnecting. After a while it comes back, but I don't like to wait that long. I just switch radio on/off. :/

Yeah it sounds like the same exact problem to me which I had on all those other phones too. Im like you I dont feel like waiting so I switch to airplane mode on and off and the data comes back.
Or Il just drop to 2G Edge only and the connection is stable just slow though.
I couldnt find a solution online so now I got tmobile reps in the picture to get this resolved for my area though.
Count me in. I HAD a BB 9700 and it behaved the same way you guys are talking about but i didn't have to set it to airplane mode to reset the connection. I do however have to restart my G2 sometimes to get it connects to Tmobile network again. It is such an inconvenience.
I'm on stock rooted rom by fastludeh.

Yeah TMobile need to get this fixed. I plan on giving them a call back on Monday or Tuesday since my 3G connection still continues to drop.
Im currently on ALL stock on the G2. Havnt did any modifications yet.
Would changing the radio help? i see there is other radio firmware available...not sure if that will do anything for our phones. Currently sticking to my 9700 for now until this issue is fixed or if i get bored of the 9700 and jump back to the G2

Na I dont think changing radio will work. I tried multiple radios and custom roms on the HD2 and same situation over and over.
Having problems with everything connection on my g2 it started happening like two weeks ago. Random no service for like a minute then full bars and hspa never use to do it but now it does frustrating as heck oh on a stock froyo too wtf

EDIT: The problem is still occurring. I thought it was fixed.
Myself and a couple other people experienced stange 3g connection problems while running the cm7 nightlies (among other ROMs) with the new HBOOT-0.35.0017. I know it's been said that HBOOT shouldn't have anything to do with your data connection but nonetheless it is causing problems.

Thanks!
I'm sorry to tell you, but hboot has NOTHING to do with the radio part of the phone: it controls the system partitions table and boots the system... nothing else, it doesn't even touch the RAM parts dedicated to the hardware, the kernel does it.
I almost made up my mind to downgrade until seen the edit part. 3g part of signal is very very frustrating experience on my side while call part rarely let it down. Also signal always in close to100 reading while my Acer liquid on T Mobile stays to perfect 75-80 reading.
I'm on HBOOT-0.35.0017 and sometimes I get x gray bars but after it picks up signal and gets connect to H it seem to work fine. Until I lose the signal or I switch to airplane, etc. Takes a while sometimes to get back signal or the H.
I did notice that when the screen goes off my download stops or sometimes when I download certain files it stops right away. I been updating roms so not sure if it related to them, but overall its been like that.

yes screen off downloading stopping is quite annoying...
I dunno but since I upgraded my Hboot and used CM7... my data sucks. It will work then not work. I typically have to reset to get it back. Even switching in and out of airplane mode will not work.
And by 3G I mean my data connection. I'll have full bars and 3G coverage... but no data from the browser, no pings, no online apps, nothing. Seems like the only way to fix it is to reset the phone.
I also noticed my signal is noticeably less at home. Typically I have full bars but now I notice that it's been dropping out and bouncing.
Could be a carrier issue. But I haven't upgraded my radio since 5.08 first came out. I updated my HBoot for the early builds of GB. So I'm willing to test out this theory.
lol, hboot has nothing to do with the phone's radio. The radio version does.
If you're having a problem with the radio (voice/data) then you should look at the radio version you're running.
Again, hboot has nothing to do with your issue.
Ive had the data sticking problem since I got my n1. Remember reading somewhere that if you go into settings - wireless networks - mobile networks - network operators, when it finishes searching select "automatically select". I got T-Mobile & it works for me until the next time I flash a new rom.
FYI when I was on CM 6.1 I had your problems. I then switched to MicroMod777's Gingerbread and those problems disappeared. I've now flashed Enmother's TheOfficial Nexus1 and I'm testing. Absolutely a ROM problem.

Kinda the opposite for me. No data issues when i tried CM 6.1.1 but on MM Gingerbread i had no data connection at all!

Same here. I tried MM and nothing worked! lol. So I went back to the latest CM7 (#24). I'm not sure what the problem is. Now I'm on an older HBoot and an older Radio. I shoulda just left 5.12 and .35 on there.
Once I get my phone pieced back together, I may try one of the older CM6.1 roms to see if that fixes it. I think we are all using Gingerbread roms here, no? Perhaps that just is an issue that comes with it.

Same issue here, wondering if this hboot is incompatible w/ my old radio.
just received my new nightly, will give this method a try as soon as i upgraded.
thanks!
-- just saw the updated post, thanks anyway
Perhaps the OP should change the title and original message to exclude the HBoot details as the problem is with Data connection.
This will let us continue discussion about the data connection problem that we are, I am at least, experiencing.
Using CM7 #24 from 1/30, it seems to be less of an issue. I notice that I'll have 3G and full bars, but no data will work until it changes to an "H". Seems like it might just be the rom. The latest nightly seems to correct the issue better then before. Now if I open a browser, after 30s-1minute, it will start chugging along.
Never posted in these forums before, since I've never suffered any problems with my HD2 until now. So I will post it my way.
Background info:
I have been using tytung's Android ROMS since he was developing Froyo, starting with MAGLDR. Since then I've been constantly upgrading to his next releases. When cLK eventually got stable (around the latest stable GB releases I think), I switched over to that bootloader. Not having any problems. When ICS finally got it's HWA fully working I switched over to this. I had never encountered any problems with my phone ever, which I am greatly thankful for... That was until now.
My problem:
Approx a week after installing tytung's NexusHD2 ICS v2.7, I started having problems with the phone's data connection in general. When I turn on the phone, it MAY get signal to my data carrier. Sometimes I do, other times I don't. I can try to put the phone in "Plane mode", and back to normal. But that has the same effect as when i turn off/on the phone. Other times when the signal bar shows that I either have full or 50% signal (two dots), I am not able to call, send sms nor browse the internet at all. WTF!? I have tried disabling the WiFi but this has no effect. When I search for data providers(carriers?), I may find all of them after two minutes of searching, I'll find none OR it will search for ever and never come to any conclusion.
Searching:
I have searched through nearly the whole developement thread, and also searched through this Q&A thread, but I can't find anyone who suffers the exact same problems as me. There are some threads and problems similar to mine, but none of their "fixes" has killed the problem for me.
What I have tried:
- Tried the WiFixerFree-solution
- Tried different (older) kernels
- Tried flashing older tytung releases (2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6)
- Did a fresh install
- Extending the system partition (in case of bad blocks)
no success
I don't think this has anything to do with tytung's newest release. It's just weird that this recently started happening, especially after working so good for so long. Does anyone have any clue on what I can do now?
Disassemble your phone and make sure the antenna tabs are touching the contacts,I did this and sure enough one was not touching. After reassembling, full signal was restored.

Omg found the stupidest solution to this irritating one week-long problem.
I tried to extend the system partition even further. Weird that this solution rarely have come up as an option in the forums.
Hope this is helpful to anyone else who may suffer the data drop-problem.
EDIT: Nope... Just a temporarily solution. I can't understand why this should have something to do with the hardware, when I haven't done anything that could harm the phone in any way. But I'll do it asap, and report back. Thank you for the tip.
The 3g connection not working and I can't even use the gprs and I can't enter APNs to let the phone access the internet please please please help me
Now I can use the internet only through the Wi-Fi connection!!!!

Any good news? I have this problem also, after flashing 2.7. I have restored my HD2 back to my previous backup, but still suffering this problem.
The 3G/H signal jumps between 0 ~ 4 bars, but most of the cases it has 0 bar, then switches to edge. If the internet get disconnected, it cannot reconnect automatically. have to turn off data and back on to connect to the internet.
I flash the latest radio, no help. reflash the sd card, no help. reformat the phone, no help.
The last thing i want to try is to part my phone and reconnect the data antenna

if nothing helps/i break my HD2, then it is time to buy a new phone.
Reporting back. Just installed int2ext+, and can report back that after only 3 minutes of use that my data dropped... again. I were not able to call, and neither send sms or anything.
I will get the needed tools to disassemble my phone and TRY to fix the connections. When this is done I will report back again.
Thanks for all tips I have gotten so far! I love this community!
Fffffffffffffffff
NAH! Just disassembled my phone and straightened up the pin that was the problem for this guy
After 2 minutes of uptime, the signal dropped to two bars, then after ten more seconds it dropped to zero... Now it is back to "normal", doing random bumps from 0, to two to four bars. Soooo... f*uck
The pins were my problem, I only have data dropout when going into the market or sending/receiving MMS's now.
i have similar problem too.after using wifi tethering. 3g IS not working anymore till reboot. sometimes 3g automatically change to 2g and vice versa
Any solution?
I followed muniz_ri's post yesterday to upgrade my VZW S5 to Android 5.0, and it went perfectly!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...l/how-to-update-to-g900vvru1boa8-5-0-t3020546
I am having ZERO issues, screen rotation is fine. However, the one thing I did notice was the 4G signal bar was very low.
I live within 3 blocks of a VZW tower, and it has the latest AWS (XLTE) upgrade. With 4.4.4, I had FULL signal and was pulling 45-65mb consistently.
Now after the update, my signal bars are in-between 1-3. I've tried several speed tests, and they would max out at 5mb. I've tried switching in-between Global and LTE/CDMA with little to no difference.
Has anyone else seen or has had this issue? Would it be possible to flash back to the older 4.4.4 base band/radio or is not compatible?
Thanks for your help!
I have noticed the same thing. I noticed on my normal commute where I would be in strong to low 4G, It now switches to 3G when in the low spots.. Going to try a clean install again and see what happens.

Thanks.. Im about to do the same myself, but think that I'll wait a few days and see what happens.
same here
I actually went looking through the forums for this problem because after the lollipop update I've noticed a very weak signal. People on the other end of my phone conversations have commented several times in the last couple of days that it sounds like I'm on a bad connection so I'm pretty sure it's not just me. I started with a clean install, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
It is also of note that I am NOT having any other major issues. The 5 .0 update is running great. My battery life is not as good as I expected it to be, I don't get through a full day on a charge anymore. I can live with that, but this signal thing is going to kill me. I'll have to roll back to 4 .4.
Has any one found a solution to this problem I've tried to factory reset and re down load each step and I have horrible reception dropped calls like crazy my text messages fail constantly as well as pic messages it's beginning to piss me off lol but also good to know I'm not the only one having problems
