4g connects but no data transfer

Edit: the problem is with my 4g, not pdanet. On my phone itself with 4g on I can't load any webpages or get any other data connection. Worked last Friday, and haven't made any changes to the phone. Running burnt 1.3 with net 421 smartass nohavs.

Try reinstalling the pdaNet on both the phone and computer.
If still nothing, try turning your phone off then back on.
Sometimes people never turn their phones off.
Hope this helps.

i am one of those people who never turn off their phones >.>
anyway I had to reinstall it on the pc today anyway. It decided to not work anymore v.v havent reinstalled on my phone yet though.

Bump for edit

I have the same problem. I don't use pdanet. I can connect to the 4G network but I cant load a webpage or download anything. Basically no data transfer. I took it to a Sprint store and they are just going to replace the phone.

Transfer that's the word i was looking for
I'm going to reflash the wimax radio when I get home and my phone isn't dying, i'd hate to have to replace the phone.

Bah, reflashing the radio didn't help. Anyone got any ideas?

I am having the same problem with mine. It was working up until a few weeks ago, but now I can connect but it is painfully slow to load web pages. The page loads like 3/4's of the way, and then hangs for the rest of the page. The last 1/4 of loading takes a few minutes. That isn't even on a graphic-heavy page.
I am able to tether on my laptop though.
I am on OMJ's ROM, and have the most up-to-date radios that I know of

I've had this problem before too and the only way I found to fix it was to un-root and flash the stock rom. Then check if it works.
If it does work, root and flash a rom, I used sprint lovers rom and I didn't have any 4G issues with loading pages.....

Same here....recent issue....not sure what's up. Could be the network and not the phone maybe....what area are you trying to connect to 4g?

Buddy I work with has an evo too and connected just fine standing next to me.
I can't imagine it fried the radio itself since it connects fine.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

well that blows....
i dont' have another evo to test it with....so I was HOPING it was a network thing....but I'm thinking it's not.
I checked my RSA keys.....they're still good.....
I have a NANDROID backup from a while ago when my 4g was still working...I'll flash it the next time I get to a 4g area and see if that fixes the problem.
I haven't touched my phone in terms of mods in over 2 months...so I'm wondering what the hell happened. I hate when **** like this just comes out of nowhere.
Please let me know via this thead if you have any new news.

new WiMax update is out in the dev forums. I'm going to flash now and see if it fixes my problems when i'm at work later (sidenote: my town has 4G, i just cant get it to connect at my house damn....trees)

Well I'm at a different place than normal but after flashing the new radio 4g is working.

I found out that my issue here was the app adfree.... if I stopped using that app, webpages on 4g load fine.

.....did nothing and 4g is working now....
aside from poking around in the adb shell to see if my RSA keys and MAC were still in tact (which they are)...my 4g started working again all by itself.
it was down for a week....and by "down" I mean that I could connect absolutely fine....get an IP....but could not transfer ANY data up or down. I did reboot serveral times while it was not working and that didn't fix the issue either.
Whatever....as long as it's working again...

Hmm i've been using adfree too but it didn't cause any problems. I agree Dell, as long as it's working.

T-mobile's network took a dump

Anyone else having issues with T-Mobiles network? I can't download anything, stopped getting FB stuff, Twitter doesn't work.

Working fine for me.

Where are you? Here in Northern Jersey I've got no problems...

Nevermind...I disabled the wireless networks and it started working again... wtf is up with that? First time that's happened. (running JL5)

I switch apns all the time. In quicksettings I use the apn switch but leave it on apn.droid instead of disabled (which actually DOES disable it) if I switch to apn.droid then it actually changes the way I connect to tmo... epc.tmobile.apndroid.com...(instead of epc.tmobile.com) I swear I get faster speeds.

I'm not sure what's going on but for the last couple of days my data connection is acting all messed up. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I've tried different modems and different roms. Also for the first tine ever Odin hangs every time I try to flash a modem.

Working fine for me. Faster than ever. Hit a new all time high in a speed test today. So I think the problem is on your end.

This happens to me on jl5. Didn't happen on ji6. It will still have bars, just no data. I have to switch to airplane mode and then back to get it working again. Happens a couple times a day.

That's odd. I've had JL5 since a few days after release and haven't had a single issue with data until today. I see full bars, data activity doesn't do anything except the green "out" arrow flashes but nothing comes in. I just disabled Data network and re-enabled it and now it's worked fine..

Please use proper language when making a thread. I modified the title of this thread because of it. Thanks.

I have similar happen on JL5, after a day or two (or an unknown set of actions). I will no longer be able to receive calls, but will get the VM alerts and be able to dial out. Data connection will then be hit/miss. I put the phone in airplane mode and take it off airplane mode and it works again.

Yeah,its a known froyo bug,it was even brought up several times in google's forum for the nexus one. it wasn't an issue in 2.1,but 2.2 (pretty much every build I've ever used on the G1,N1,vibrant,HD2,and Intercept) has the issue.

i think my phone's radio is broken.. now it doesnt switch between edge and 3G anymore.. stays on 3G
but download speed is really slow..painfully slow.. i was actually happy to get 3G in my room, but it's actually broken? LOL
i installed the signal app by imperial.. it stays on H - 93 dbm with the 3G symbol on the signal bar and consistent 3/4 bars.. what the hell..
hmmm..
maybe tmo 3g coverage has gotten better? but download speed is slow.. my phone may be broken.. ughhh

Check to see if you have it wcdma only. Settings->wireless networks->mobile network. It should be on wcdma/GSM (auto).

This also happens to me, I'm at JL5. Sometimes when using 3g my speed is lower than 100 kbps. I have to reconnect to make it work.

they dont switch anymore.. from what i have observed, it stuck on the 3G symbol, but the actual download speed does switch between edge and 3g.. someitmes rendering a page is faster and sometimes it's slow..

im using the stock j16.. i already reset my phone, even reverted to stock jfd and flash via kies last night.. same issue
i haven't even dropped my phone at all.. not a bad drop at least..

I have the same problem on JL5. I just flashed Nero V3 this weekend as my first Froyo rom and I see today I cannot get online at work where 3G is iffy. If i switch it manually to GSM, then data works.

I actually flashed a custom rom hoping to fix an issue like this.
Back on stock my network data just stopped while browsing web pages or anything really. It would give the outgoing arrows but nothing would come back. After about 30 minutes or so it would start working again for a while.
Flashed to nero but it's still as prevalent as ever (maybe for a different reason now lol). Not sure if it's the phone or Tmo's network anymore, but it's not too big of an issue for me so I just have to remember to activate wifi if I need constant data for any period.

I have it set to GSM only because I don't live in a 3G area...

[Q] Epic Won't Connect to 4G

Here's teh scoop...
I was in Vegas at CES and all was fine. I was tethering and 4G was blazing. Left on Friday, got back to SoCal and on Monday my Epic running Bonzai4All (RFS) would no longer connect to the 4G network. Found out from Sprint there was a trouble ticket in my area and 4G was down for a couple days. It's back up now but my phone won't connect anymore. Took it to a corp repair store (after having flashed back to stock of course) but they couldn't fix it so they ordered me a "new" one.
I don't think it's a hardware issue because when I click the 4G icon the phone cycles through SCANNING>CONNECTING>OBTAINING IP ADDRESS and then it just disconnects. Feels more like a programming issue (ie, dialer codes... then some numeric setting somewhere in the programming menu)
Has anyone else had this happen to them. I did nothing to my phone between the time I was in Vegas and back in SoCal so other than the outage, the phone no longer connecting to 4G seems quite random.

4G is noG
I have the epic4g, I live in Vegas.
Although this is supposed to be 4G for the entire city, the phone spends 95% of the time "disconnected" from 4G.
I have already had sprint replace the phone, the same thing happens with the new phone.
It seems its a software issue, if I turn on 4G and move, do anything, it will disconnect. Heck, it even disconnected in the parking lot outside the Sprint store. Of course they kept telling me there was nothing wrong with the phone when they test, so I go outside, try to connect to sprint.com, get error of no connection and bring phone back in.
On a recent trip, I attempted to use 4G to rent a movie for my son. In the course of 30 minutes, it must have disconnected once every 1-2 minutes. It does not reconnect on its own, you have to manually disconnect, then reconnect to get it running again. It appears if you are "mobile", it has major issues. If you are sitting in one place (not walking or anything) it will keep its connection.
Kind of retarded if you ask me - I know 100% its a phone issue, something is messed up. Of course, when I complain to Sprint, I am the only one having this issue.
I am actually going to try to get them to credit me the 10 bucks a month back, after all, I never use 4G - not because I dont want to, its just not worth the hassle. I cannot even browse the web - it disconnects so often I get the no connection error screen. 3G has no issues, but is slow.
I have searched many forums, but cannot find any fixes for this issue. It would appear that you are having the same deal as I am now.

No idea. My phones locked on 4g 80% of the time. While driving, walking etc. Only use 3g in buildings made of kryptonite that block signals.

I live right outside of Baltimore, and according to sprints coverage maps I should have 4g where i live. We all know how coverage maps go, but i am getting the "obtaining ip address" then fail. But I just kind of ignored it and thought nothing of it.
After seeing other people with similar problems, do you think i should have it serviced? i am paying for insurance.

Did anybody figure this out?

This happened to me after flashing a new rom, seemed to work after a reboot.

i have the same problem, and a simple reboot did NOT my problem.
I know for a fact that I get reception in my house, and I've tried in a Sprint Store when I was testing the Photon 4G. Still can't connect; more specifically it disconnects after attempting to obtain an IP address.
I have already tried messing the WiMAX Extension settings in ##3282#
I'm running SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2 | Genocide 2.0 Kernal | EC05 Modem.
Note: 4G was working before i tested UrbanDecay, which was a EG22 ROM. I did flash SRF1.2 with the EG22 installed. i have tried updating the modem and I'm back to EC05. still no luck.
Suggestions?

This happened to me. Some type of data corruption. I had to Odin back to a prerooted tar, not restore anything, test 4G, working then only restored apps with no data. When I did restore data I lost 4G again. So do not restore any data. Set everything back up again.

Yeah I tried everything first, even had Sprint refresh my phone. I guess some WiMax files got corrupted. You could try a reflash but if your ROM backs up and restores data it probably will still not work. I was able to restore apps only and selectively restore a few apps with Titanium though.

[Q] Simple mobile slow data

I hope Im posting in the right place.
Im on simple mobile.
I have htc g2. i unrooted it with gfree .5.
I have vision ginerbread 3.3
IM having VERY hard time getting anything over like 40kb/s
I dont know what to do. I cant get on youtube, or even download an app from market without getting an info window that tells me something is wrong with my connection.
i have android version 2.3.3
baseband version is 12.22.60.09_26.02.01.15
kerner version is 2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod
mod version is cyanogenmod-7.0.2-vision

Could someone with simple mobile give me advice? i keep reading how you guys are getting 1.5mb/s and i cant even reach 100kb/s lol
thanks in advance

Are you on 4g hspa+? Did you change your apn settings?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

ever since CM7 7.0.2 i have not been able to connect to HSPA either, I have tryed new roms but no luck. I just ordered a new one under warranty.

hi, i did change my apn settings. but its still super slow.

its going to be your radio then, mine had the same issue, until i updated the radio, my speeds were so slow, then hspa+ finally kicked in and now i get about 2Mbps to 6Mbps

I have simplemobile as well, purchased it for work (to tether in a pinch) and while I am not exactly "happy" with the service + phone, I guess its passable.
I get HSPA as well, using Ultimate Droid + the .16 radio (I've tried every single one, this is the best) I get 2-6mbps download with this combo and simplemobile. My biggest issue is the horrible reception and the data dropouts for no reason. I take public transportation and trains for my job and can never hold a tether for longer then 5-10 mins if I am moving. Also for some reason I am unable to use voice and data at the same time, as well as the annoying issue of hanging up a voice call and having what seems like the radio "rebooting" ie: going to zero bars, dropping the data connection and 5 seconds later getting a radio lock again.
I have finally gotten good APN settings to enable me to use hspa as well as MMS (finally after 3 months i have mms). I would be happy to share if needed.

that be awesome!
btw, how do i get an .16 radio, i looked around a bit and couldnt find what i was looking for.
thanks

Share your settings, I would like to compare

anyways, i get only 40kbs on 4 bar edge network. i heard it should be more.
my settings are 216.155.165.50 and 8080
what do u guys think?
ill be willing to donate $10 (to whomever or developer, if its allowed) if i can get this thing fixed. ive been working on it for like 3 days now with no success

I get about 2Mbps down and 600kbps up on hspa not sure if its 3g or 4g I was able to hit 6Mbps at 3 in the morning
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Seriously? Even on 3g it shouldnt be sos slow i feel like.

could you guys who have g2 and simple mobile post your "about phone" stats so i could compare? Cause this is what i did. i unrooted. than rooted back, upgrade to version .17, changed apn settings (under tmobile data) to simple (i didnt create new simple apn setting). and im still getting like 30kb/s on edge or like 40kb/s on 3g

Hmm go to the development section and use the ril, radio Matcher

1x???

So I live in a smaller town. I used to have 3g but it would cut in and out. Ever since I rooted all I get is 1x and its real slow. Anyone know why this is?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I would say try updating your prl and profile. Then reboot if that doesn't help try changing your prl via espt to see if you can get 3g at all. I've lost 3g before and had to reprovision my phone.

Or your probably running a rom that show what your connection really is. It was probably always 1x in your area. If I remember right the stock evo rom wasn't made to show 1x, only 3g.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I had the same exact problem and this worked for me. I found it on goodandevo.net
After following these directions I upgraded to the latest prl and maintain 3g.
'Turn off your GPS. Dial ##3282#, and select Edit. Enter your MSL, then go to Data Profile. Push the menu button, then tap on Restore. Push OK to reboot. Allow the phone to go through hands-free activation, but WATCH YOUR PHONE CAREFULLY AND PRESS CANCEL WHEN IT BEGINS TO UPDATE PRL.'
Found this in the comments here: http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/09/st...t-3g-back.html
Obviously, first you will have to flash a ROM that has working EPST, after restoring 3g, it should hold thru all following flashes.
I think the simpliest thing to do would be to flash a stock rom and make your changes and then flash back to your prefered rom. Thats what I did. Flash the stock rom, use EPST and then flash back to CM7. You should have working 3g.
