Hello, I noticed something a few days ago.
It seems if you're about to get the JI6 update OTA the "3G" symbol will stay in your status bar regardless of whether your'e connected to a wifi network.
My phone did this for two days straight and on the 9th I got the "Update Available" notification.
My phones never done that before so that's why I'm inferring the phone does this when an update is available.
Did the same exact thing to me as well. Was very strange to see it there even tho I was on WiFi... I also got the update about 2 days after I noticed the 3G staying in the top bar when on wifi
Really? My phone was doing this and I thought it was a bug. I had just installed Juice Defender so I thought it was messing my phone up so I uninstalled it and rebooted my phone.
Interesting. I already installed JI6 via Odin though... think it will prompt me again?
happened to my phone too.. i rebooted my phone but made sure that my wifi is off before rebooting.. seemed to fix it for me..
Well, you never know.
I havnt got the update yet, but for the past few days my 3G icon has been staying on when the Wifi is connected too.

Updated, but don't have such thing before the update
Now that you mention it...
Actually, I haven't update yet and I just noticed my 3G indicator staying on while on WiFi also. I don't recall it doing that before. Don't know if the two are related, but I will let you know what happens.
I am using Bionix 1.7 (Based of the Official JI6) and my 3g Icon goes away
Means you are receiving something from t-mobile....so essentially tmo was sending you the update, which is sent by the network....and I imagine since it was large is why it was on for a couple of days....
Send a mms from your phone while on wifi.....you will see your 3G come on to send the message then go away when done....

well I've yet to receive the update so I guess I'll look out for this when it does come...
Hi guys, I am having a problem with downloading apps through cellular data on my mytouch 4g. I can download them fine if I am on wifi but it gets stuck on "starting download" progress bar without it. I've tried clearing the data for the market app, restoring it back to factory, and the google talk sign in; none of these worked for me. This is driving me crazy and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: Fixed nvm
How did you fix it?
yeah how you fixed it would be nice as mine is doing the same thing... ugh wish t-mo could have just brought a legit phone out
Turn On Wifi
Even if there is no wifi connection, on my MT4G the wifi has to be enabled for the market to download.
I think this may be fixed on the new update that came out today. I still haven't seen my update yet. :-( mine still does this too.

Go into settings/wireless networks/mobile network or operator and select Tmobile network. Even it is checked select it and make sure your phone is gsm/wcdma checked. WCDMA only created problem for me. Also if you have temp root you will not get the update as long as it is running on your phone. In addition, if you disabled any bloatware you have to restore it before the update. Once I disabled Visionary and restored back to factory I got the update in a couple of hours.
This is a really weird problem but it has to do something with the connection to the google servers (mainly google talk). This is evident by the fact that you are signed off and can not connect to google talk when you're stuck on the starting download phase of downloading the app(s). There are two ways around this problem that I've seen so far
1. Before you want to download an app, run google talk and make sure you're signed in, then sign out and sign in again. Go download the app(s) afterwards. Once you do this after you first power on the phone, it should last until you power it off.
2. Another way is go and try to download an app(s) you want and it will be stuck on the starting download bar. DO NOT cancel the download, just restart the phone and it should start downloading once the phone is back on.
P.S. The update did not fix this issue because I still have to deal with it.
If I learn anything new, I will keep you posted.

I got the update with Superuser and root just fine.
Not to rub it in, but I'm really glad that I am not experiencing this problem. I'm liking the phone too much to have a reason to bring it back!
Ok I have found out that the Google talk sign out sign in trick does not always work while the restarting one always works. It definitely is something to do the Google servers and the way the phone syncs with them. What I found interesting is that when you open the market app, immediately experience this problem as you can not sync under accounts settings and services like Google talk stop working. Another thing is that it seems to be the HSPA and HSPA+ connections causing the issue, the apps won't dl on them but it will start immediately as your phone drops to edge. I don't know if this is a hardware, software issue with the phone or the Google servers getting adjusted to the mytouch 4gs since they just came out.
Think I'm going to exchange my phone since not a lot of people have this problem.
Sorry to bring up an old thread but i'm now having this issue aswell. I've tried to clear data, can't download on Wifi or 3g. When i click ok it just says the download will be started and nothing happens, Sometimes if i play around i can get it to go to say starting download but just sits there then i will get either a network error to retry or cancel. Sometimes it's just a download unsuccessful and i click ok.
I tried resetting aswell and still same issue. Not sure how to sign out of google talk.. haven't quit got the hang of android yet but i'm actually not happy right now!
Is anyone else having a issue with your phone having no service fir a split second causing your data to stop? It does NOT happen if im in a call but if im browsing it just stops and I have to.press refresh.

yeah not only dropping connections but almost unbearable. I'm in NJ and before the 1.8.3 update i could browse the internet fine with mutltiple tabs and so on. Wasn't slow then or fast but it worked. Now after 1.8.3 it just won't work, or will load half a page and break.
I've already tried using the old radio sbf file but that doesn't work with the 1.8.3 update...
anyone else?

I am having the same issue. I am browsing a web page and for a split second (literally, for a fraction of a second), I will not have data signal and the page will tell me either via a pop up that there is no data connection or it simply stops loading and I have to reload the page. Most of the time, I get the pop up saying there is no data connection, I press ok, and the web page continues to load as expected.
For further info, I flashed the 1.26 SBF and updated via the OTA updates. I use the stock browser.
I would say it happens once every 15 minutes of continuous web usage.
Edit: I have no additional problems with the calls or voice call quality.
I've noticed this as well, especially if wifi and/or bluetooth is turned on

This.
Also i was completely fine with the 1.26 and the 1.5xx system updates and could browse multiple pages just fine, however the 1.83 update seems to have borked everything even thought i'm still at work as any other day, so the location did not change.
I've also tried flashing the stock radio back (sbf) but it just doesn't work.
also no calls are dropped, and texts work fine, just data is borked.
I think the radio with the 1.8.3 update maybe the reason my battery life has tanked since the update. I use the same app and have all the same settings and am needing at least two batteries per day with the same level of use. I used to could listen to bluetooth with mixzing or winamp app. 6 hours per day, surf the web all I wanted and text heavily and still have 40% battery after 12 hours. Now after 4 hours of use I am regularly down to 30%. I seriously have checked and my use and settings are the same. I even have used spar parts and watch dog to monitor my app and system processes and I can't find anything out of the ordinary.
Is there a way to check to see if the phone is searching for 3G or HSPA more often and draining more battery?
Same thing happens to me guys. Data connection worked flawlessly on 1.2.6 and 1.5.7. Have sat on the phone (a different one) with att troubleshooting for an hour and they couldn't figure it out...eventually told me to do a factory reset even though I told them jihads already done so...big surprise didn't work. It only happens in certain areas and even then it works sometimes. My theory is it is something to do with how its handshaking with the towers, as I have gone into the service menu and seen it sporatically switch between UMTS and HSPA. Oh and I'm on gingerblur 3.5 but have done hours of testing on a stock flash of 1.8.3 and it has the same issue. Wish att /moto could figure this one out. Anyone find anything yet?
If your talking about constantly switching from (E)dge to (H)SPA I'm having the same issue..
Same here. Areas in which I used to have no trouble and good service now leave me with the no service icon.
Has anyone had better service changing to the 77 radio from .83
Sent from the bowels of hell...
I just wasted my time with AT&T by calling them. They told me it was probably a defect and I should exchange my phone.
This seems like a all too common isuue with this phone. I'm guessing the threshold at where it switches is just too finnikey. And whats most aggravating is we can't manually set which type of connection to use.

It's not even that it technically switches services from EDGE to HSPA (the icon always stays as an H), it's that when you go into the service menu it sporadically looks for UMTS (I think EDGE and 2G networks) and HSPA. You can try this out by going to dialer and hitting *#*#4636#*#* and going to Phone Information (it's under network type).
***Edit*** @the last post...I made the same mistake calling AT&T, and unfortunately that's an hour of my life of being talked down to and placated that I will never get back.

I was also having the same problem. I seem to have fixed mine by flashing back to 1.26 and ota back to 1.83.... First I backed up all of my apps. Sbf to 1.26, rooted with aroot, restored all apps, unrooted then ota 1.57 and 1.83. I have not rooted my phone yet but everything seems to work fine now.

That is actually one of the combinations I haven't tried, so if it get so bad as to be unbearable I may try that. Lately, though it hasn't been that bad thankfully.

My xperia play randomly goes to no service then a few seconds later it goes back to full service. Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Sort of.
Right now I cannot get onto tbe android market or google maps. I can get onto google on opera and of course xda, im thinking its google. Reset doesnt help either.
If I find out whats the cause ill post back or pm.

That happens to me somewhat when I send MMS... but it comes out fine in the end... I don't know if that's the same issue with yours.
It used to do that a while back when I had just gotten the play, but now it never drops below 2 bars and always has 3g. I'm suspecting it has something to do with the enhanced 3g coverage upgrade they did in our area recently.

yeah. most of the time though, the zero signal comes when I wake my phone from sleep mode. other than that, full bars.
I did manage to get it working after some snooping. I went onto settings, applications, all, market and uninstalled the updates. Reverting back to the market I had when I first got the phone.
Ill mention that I messed about with download manager in the same directory in the settings, but I assume that rolling back the market did the trick.
Next day the same problem occurs, rolling back and clearing cache didnt help this time. Later In the day it fixed itself.
Im new to android so take what ive said with caution. At your own risk, but thought id mention as it could work for others. At the very least it could narrow your searching for a solution.
Hope it helps

Depends on the area where you are and the strength of your service.
For example theres a lot of interference at my job, to the point if I do any text messaging or facebook checking during the day my battery is near dead by the time I leave. However when I'm at home the battery will last all weekend if I don't play any games.
While I'm at work you will see it jump from 3G to nothing and back almost randomly and sometimes Facebook/market/etc work fine, other times they refuse to conenct for hours.
I get max signal at work, where I still had the problem. Signal wasnt my problem, I could get onto google through opera and on the xda app.

Settings/privacy settings/reset settings (NOT FACTORY RESET)
Resets all settings but leaves appa etc alone. I sync data with google so im not 100% what you might lose if you dont sync. For me the only change ive noticed is that now everything works as it should've.
The same problem keeps coming and going, im hoping that the above will work for me. Seems to be working, however if it doesnt ill post back.

It is a firmware problem, at least for people with R800i models. The update 3.0.A.145 (first 2.3.3 pre xLoud update) did not have any Wifi or phone drops. The xLoud update crippled the modem terribly, making it work horribly where there was no issue before...

Hmmm I have a R800a with the R800i firmware. When the phone goes to no service it does drop cell signal AND wifi signal to nothing. I hope they fix this soon.
Ok problems back for me...again...
Sorry, I kind of hijacked this thread. I will start my own (after some searching) as my problem seems to be with google apps.
I can get on the internet, opera and xda come to mind immediately. But google mail, maps and the market all refuse to connect.
Thanks and goodluck

Think its working now...shouldnt have said (typed) that.
Either way thought id mention the latest solution thats working for me. Push the power button until you get the air plane mode option come up, put it into airplane mode, then turn off air plane mode. Turn the phone off, then back on, then with any luck it should work.
I have a funny feeling that the problem was due to an ota update, I also think the solution was an ota update. New to android so im not too sure sorry. Thought id post just incase though.
If I dont post back then my phones all working, or at least not suffering from this problem.
Goodluck

Just wanted to give a quick heads up to anybody else that has US Cellular and let you know that mine did a self-update at some point (from the US99110b it showed up with to US99110c).
I have NO IDEA when the phone did this, as I never got so much as a warning or a notification or anything (Hell, I have not even rebooted the device). Just figured I would check the "Software Status" for ***** & giggles after reading a couple posts on here and happened to notice it was at 10c now.
.......I mean I at least have the .kdz of my launch firmware so I can go back if needs be, just annoyed that these devices are doing what they want when they want at this point.......I've seen iRobot and I know this never leads anywhere good!!
was your device connected to wifi? curious if people that delete all saved wifi networks still get the OTA or not.
I've made a post in the lounge thread about these updates http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61672737&postcount=622
I wonder if USCC would all you to swap the phone out for a 10B model since you did not initiate the OTA?
I just checked mine and it is updated. The auto update was checked. I unchecked it and unchecked the auto check for updates in software update on the about screen.
