I been having a couple problems with my phone of late.
Its rooted and I have tested roms on it but im currently back on the default 1.5 stock rom that comes with the phone.
I was having gps problems were it refused to turn on(symbol in the corner) but that seems to have resolved. The phones 3g connectivty is very flaky at moment, I can restart my phone and get it to work but after couple hours (or when it gets wifi connection) it wont come back after that
And now i cant download anything in marketplace. Ive tried with 3g and wifi it just gets stuck on "starting download" tried stopping them all and starting a different download as well as rebooting many times.
also (based on forum advise) i tried turning off/on gtalk (not sure why that would affect things) but still not working
Any ideas what it could be??
thanks in advance

I have the same problem, sometimes it helps to turn the internet connection off and on. But most of the time it suddenly starts downloading much much later. Very strange
This problem has been driving me crazy for a couple of days. But my phone also has another gem of an annoyance. People try to ring me, go straight to voicemail and all I get are missed call alerts. This is when I have full signal.
So for this reason I am trying out some of the new 2.1 roms that have come out in the past few days. but if they have the keyboard lag that they all had before, I wont be very amused.
I like many followed the instructions on the Leaked 2.2 to install Froyo.
I performing the rooted instructions requiring me to upgrade to Baseband version and verify that it's 2.05.00.06.11. This went fine and I successfully installed 2.2.
I noticed that I was having real connectivity issues. My bars would drop and connection would seem to cease. I often went from 3g to 1x connectivity and my apps could not connect without a reboot.
I reverted back to 2.1 but it kept the same baseband version 2.05.00.06.11.
I am still having the same connectivity issues.
So far I have seen people suggest dialing *288 to update the towers but that didnt work.
Other say toggling airplane mode fixed it for them. This is not a consistent fix for me.
Please add information here so we can try and find a fix.
I updated mine to the leaked 2.2 yesterday and I did lose my 3G for a few hours. I started to troubleshoot afterwards and toggling airplane mode would restore my 3g connectivity. I haven't noticed anything else that is troublesome so far, however, I am also missing some apps in the market.

There is a fix for the market problem -
I am trying to keep this thread about the connectivity issues. I suspect the firmware update did something bad. I am not running any roms or updates.
I'll have to try toggling airplane mode, I haven't tried that.
Yeah, I'm having issues too, also video recording has stopped working.

Not real sure if this is the same problem or not, but i'll post it here and we'll see. My phone seemed to have ZERO issues yesterday after the move to 2.2. Everything was working great (related to connections)
This morning, my alarm (on the phone) went off at 6:15am and I swiped it and got up, went and took a shower. While I was coming out I heard "Droid..." and was like, well that sux, a random reboot. A couple minutes later I came over to it and it was on the lock screen and the screen was dim like it was about to turn back off. I touched it to swipe and it was locked up and rebooted a second or so later.
Each time it came up, I had an X next to my signal meter and no WIFI or Data indicators. The process "system" kept dying and eventually causing the phone to reboot. I tried going into airplane mode / coming back out, but nothing.
As a last resort (so I could go to work) was to shut it down gracefully (reboots wouldn't let me get to hboot). And go and do a nandroid of the current setup and restore to yesterday right after I switched to 2.2.
After the nandroid finished I went ahead and rebooted it w/o a restore. This time the phone booted normally, no FC's and it's been running since then w/o any connection/reboot issues.
Obviously I'll be paying attention to this. It is actually nice having the "Droid..." so I know when it reboots

I havent had issue with the system process dying and rebooting. Just the incredibly annoying fluctuations in the bars and connectivity.
I would go to use my gTalk or gMail and it would say no internet connection. Or if you open the browser. Same thing.

No data
I updated the radio as well as the leaked 2.2 ROM. I now can't get any data. It will say there is a 3G connection but the market, Gmail, browser won't work. I was previously able to get data I haven't changed anything since.
I thought my data issue was using the Hybrid Altell/VZW prl, but after a *228 option 2 I am still having an issue. It seems to be when I shutdown the phone, turn it back on, the mobile data connection will not turn on. Toggling airplane mode will fix it, or sometimes a reboot fixes it.
Also having 3g/1x/no data issues post update to 2.2
Upgraded 8PM last night, all good until about 10am this morning, realized none of my apps were sync'd, then tried to use Opera/Market/Etc. all saying connectivity issues. The airplane mode on/off seems to fix it, wondering if its a select few and we should reflash or people are experiencing this across the board...

I had nearly the exact same thing happen to me. Flashed last night and then noticed the problem early today. A reboot of my phone fixed things; I'll continue to watch things closely.
Just got this for the first time as well.
I was just doing some configuration and needed to reboot - after doing so I did not have 3G and mobile network was ON in the settings.
Toggled to airplane mode and restarded - switched back after startup and 3G is back... but still this is troubling (I don't want there to be ANY problems haha)
All my Issues fixed with link @ bottom, thanks adrynalyne!

I am trying SkyRaiders rom to see if theres any improvements. I am on WiFi and its been working good so far. I will know more tomorrow.
Are you just getting the slow downs/disconnects on cell or also on WiFi? I had some weird WiFi issues last night so I thought it was both. Are you all getting it on all data connections or just the mobile network?
Make sure System Select in Mobile Network settings is on Home Only. I did this and I've had zero data connectivity issues with the leak. Had them when it was on Automatic.
Try it out.
I will join in and say I am also loosing 3G...it would be fine for a little then disappear for a while...toggling wifi and airplane mode helps, but I want it fixed and not have to rely on those.
Seems that Sky Raiders Rom has fixed the issues for me.

Which version? I am using 2.00 and I am having 3G connectivity issues. When I set my mobile networks from automatic to home, I only connect at 1X instead of 3G.
Is this fixed in Sky Raider 2.01?
UPDATE: I should have stated my original problem which was my 3G data connection was shutting down at random and the only way to get it back was to go in and out of airplane mode. I also JUST NOW updated to Sky Raider 2.01 and see that I don't have and data connection at present. A reboot did not work either. I'll keep trying things...
UPDATE2: Got it working...for some reason it was turned off in settings. Appears to be working fine now. I haven't seen any disconnects yet. Fingers crossed...
UPDATE3: It started doing it again under Sky Raider version 2.01. Don't know whether it's the new v2 radio or something with Froyo...

It is beginning to look like maybe this is a radio (2.05.00.06.11) problem an not a OS issue. But what I don't understand is why more people have not complained. I do live in a fringe signal area for 3G, perhaps that has something to do with triggering this problem. But I too have found that toggling airplane mode isn't a consistent fix.
If this is indeed a radio issue, then we may have to just live with it until a new radio version is released. Perhaps it would help if more people came forward and shared their experiences about this alleged problem. If it is only a few of us, then what might we have in common???

See here, 99% sure has to do with WiFi. I've been turning off WiFi before I leave the WiFi area I'm connected to and I've yet to loose data connectivity.
If this is all there is, I have a fully working 2.2 on my DInc now...don't really see a reason to upgrade to the official!

UPDATE: Fixed, see post #7 for details.
Had my Nook about a week now. I know all about SOD, and have Tasker set to turn WiFi off when the screen is off, and it hasn't been a problem.
What has been a problem is the WiFi randomly dying. WiFi will be on, but it won't recognize my home network. After a reboot everything is back to normal.
I looked through another thread in the dev section about this, the thread had some examples of router settings. My router settings match those, and I'm still having this problem.
So I'm not sure- is it a kernel issue with the wifi driver, or still a router problem? Anyone else having this kind of issue and can point me in the right direction, maybe other router settings to try?
Thanks!
When you bring up the list of access points, does it see any of them? That is, do any APs have the little signal-strength meter next to them?
If not, that's a problem that ISTR has been fixed in recent nightlies; at least, I haven't encountered it in a couple of weeks, after getting it nearly daily.

No, it doesn't recognize the AP at all, and if I try to manually connect it'll connect for a second then drop it.
I'm a couple nightlies behind so I'll update and see if that helps.
What rom are you using with your nook? or just the stock rom. I have the same issue with the 87 nightly build, but it's gone when I tried a newer build.
I was just about to post something like. I have a similar Issue. I dont know what ROM I was running before ( flashed it many months ago, was Froyo) but yesterday I installed CM7 (Gingerbread) (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227 ) and I have the same issue.
Wifi works and randomnly dies. It still shows connected and full signal strength, but it won't access the network/internet until I reboot it. All other devices connected to the router work fine, including an EVO 4G running Gingerbread.
Any Ideas?
Ok so I'm on the latest CM7 nightly now, still experiencing this problem. WiFi just drops out randomly, often in the middle of loading something.
When this happens I can see that WiFi is on, but it can't see any AP's- so it's not a router issue. Restarting fixes it, but it's annoying to be reading something then have to restart just to get connected again.
So now I'm thinking it's a kernel problem. Is there anyone who's running an older version of CM7 without the OC kernel built in, and has experienced this same issue?
Ok, got it fixed, or so I think. Figured I'd update here so anyone else having the same problem can get help.
The issue, as was suggested in another thread, is with having too many AP's saved. Because the NC was synced with my google account, it automatically downloaded a whole list of AP's from my phone. I went into wireless settings and deleted everything except the 2 or 3 I use on a regular basis, and the wifi is solid as a rock now.
Hello everyone,
I have been running stock since I got the phone a year ago. Last week I finally decided to go for a custom rom and installed CM11 M9. All seemed well, except wifi, which would disconnect from network after being out of range (as normal), but then would't reconnect to any network. Only a reboot seemed to fix it, but only temporarily. It would quickly connect to the available known network, but if for some reason that connection was lost, it was unable to connect to any network at all.
I tried a couple of the latest nightlies, same problem. Then, a couple of days ago, I decided to try another rom, and went with Mahdi (which is based in CM).
Guess what, the problem remains! I found out that, sometimes, if I turn airplane mode on and off, it would be able to connect. But this isn't always the case.
I flashed that "non-hlos.bin wifi fix" thing, all happy because I was sure it would solve my problem, but to no avail. This is ridiculous... I don't know what else to do...
This is driving me crazy and I'm losing all hope. I'm starting to think that I'll have to go back to that dreaded Samsung stock rom... may somebody save me from that!
Guys I solved it!!!
I thought that maybe my wifi settings were damaged or something, so I deleted /data/etc/wifi, /data/misc/dhcp and /data/misc/wifi, rebooted and voilà, wifi working properly again! Finally!
Okay, I'm gonna try and not mess up this post by not mixing everything up :
I've got an Lg G2 D802, running Cm 12. 1, everything was working fine until I tried one day to tether my data to my computer, it just wouldn't work... The screen froze sometimes when I clicked on the "share the network" button, or sometimes would just be grayed out. Searched online and found nothing relevant, decided to not pay that much attention to the issue.
That was until I came back home and tried to log on to my wifi, wouldn't work, same freeze issue than the tethering, or the icon would just turn Grey, or sometimes I wouldn't even be able to click on it. A lot of people are having the issue with other phones as well, but have seen no solution that worked for me...
I wiped everything and installed CM13, issue remained, same with Cm12, another version of CM 12.1 and even a few lollipop and marshmallow AOSP roms..
So yeah, from my rookie point of view I've tried everything I could think of and Google hasn't been of any help, this is why I'm turning to you guys for help.
PS : Takes it a while to connect to the data network, and I've also been using a lot of the app "Network switcher" to remain on LTE in places where my phone would switch to 2G.
Hope you guys can help,
A very worried man
Now bluetooth started not working...pretty inconvenient for my android wear watch....
