I know this is a pretty well known problem but was wondering if anyone has found a solution. I had this problem on CM7 and have switched to OMFGB and still have the same problem. Occasionally my radio will die and I will not have mobile data for a period of time. I am currently on OMFGB 7/16 with the glitch kernel. It happens enough to become an annoyance so has anyone found a solution or have any suggestions? Thanks.

in the OP of the CM7 thread in development, jt says this may happen and a battery pull should fix it
edit: I guess this is only if the radio completely dies, it seems like your issue is just losing 3G/data and is a known bug that I don't know a fix for
tapatalked from my stock VZ Fascinate
i could be wrong but my understanding is that any rom built off of the ec09 leak will lose data sync and not be able to send or receive until battery pull. I dont think i had the issue with MIUI.

CM7 and MIUI are not built off the EC09 leak, they are built from straight AOSP source.
AFAIK some phones (like mine) loose data completely when flashing on MTD builds like CM7 or Miui. All I had to do was an esn swap, so basically activate a different phone on my line and then re-activate my Fascinate. Problem solved in about 10 minutes.
If it's data problems you're having, this thread is your new best friend:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051543
I had the same 3g issue and an ESN swap worked perfectly for me as well. There's plenty of explanations and such in here on what it is and how to easily do it. IINachtmahrII kind of alluded to that.
The old data issue which is solved by doing the ESN swap is not the same thing as the issues CM7 is having. That issue back when official ED01 Froyo hit was a complete 3G data loss and the ESN swap took care of it. CM7 seems to have a couple issues with data. Be very careful doing a battery pull on CM7. Myself and several others have had a soft bricked device from doing a battery pull on CM7. I am pretty sure the OP is talking about how it seems to work one minute and then stops for a few minutes and eventually comes back. I get it too. Happens on WiFi also.
I haven't noticed my 3G icon disappear but I noticed it turns white which apparently means it lost its connection to Google. Does your icon disappear completely?

I believe you are correct about the meaning of the OP. I also experienced the intermittent loss of 3g and wifi while on cm7.

I too lose 3g occasionally, I found that if you turn airplane mode on,then off 3g returns.

I was having the exact same problem, but I assumed it was the EC09 baseband and flashed back to EC01. It seems to have solved itself or atleast become less severe in my case though
Turning airplane mode on and off has seemed to I work. I may try switching radios because I'm on ec09. Has anyone had this problem on ec01 or ed01? Thanks for the replies.

Hey guys,
So I have been running supernova 1.04 (dk28) rfs, since it was posted here on xda(didn't look up date) a month or so back. Everything has been great up to the standards we have been given so far, however recently it seems like my radio resets(chime noise, no signal sign, then signal again) a lot more often if it should at all. I thought that it might just be a jacked up cell site near my house, but its been happening at work too. The weird thing is that it doesn't seem to affect my data, voice, or wifi. I have yet to drop a call because of it. Just curious if I should worry about it being a hardware issue or just due to unfinished software/radio? Thx folks!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Might try reflashing the dk28 modem. I was having problems like that when I was running DK28. It eventually would completely crash so I ended up going back to 2.1. I could never get the FroYo leak to be completely smooth no matter what I tried.
Could this be a problem with local cell towers or is this purely phone/software issue?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Most likely a phone issue.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I am running the same rom and sometimes I hear it make a sound and when I look the signal bars are replaced with a no signal icon, it usually goes back to normal quickly.
But it did this when stock as well so I figure it is a bug in the radio driver.
I can confirm this on 2.1 as well. Can't be too sure but I think it lasted until I got a replacent Epic. It could have been the tower and a complete coincidence but the old phone did it non stop. The new one has very rarely done it on both eclair and froyo. Anyone who experiences this should consider something as well. Did it start after a prl update because it came back after my update to 60674. Lost my 3g as well. Reverting to prl 60671 fixed it but this is NOT a guaranteed fix just worked for me.

I've had DK28 installed or over a month now and used various different roms, but about two weeks ago, data ( and consequently voice and messaging) all dropped and refused to work. I've heard of several other people having this problem as well, but am surprised that more people haven't experienced this. Once data drops, rebooting, reflashing, and re-odining all refuse to restore service reliably. My only solution I've found is to re-odin to DI18. It's quite a step back however, I'm curious if people have found ways around this or it only affects certain phones..
two words, truly epic
Never had what you are talking about. I was on bonsai rom and now I'm on a new test build rom and I don't have that problem. Try bonsai rom its awesome.
Sent from my Evo Killer!!!
Did you Odin to DI18 between each DK28 flash??? Just sayin, if you loaded DK28 once, and just switched roms, even wiping etc.... that could be a problem. Sorry if you did, but just checking, you didn't type out your whole process... if you do, someone may see the common denominator, etc.... 2.2 works fine for me, other than a couple minor bugs that have been traced to kernel issues... so hopefully source will fix them.
Actually, tried Bonsai rom too, but problem persisted. I'm pretty sure it's a modem issue. You can tell it's happening, because you can see that there will be a certain amount of signal (2 bars, 4 bars, 5 bars) but no data service (indicator is also missing). Calls fail to connect, messages fail to send, and of course, data is non-existent.
I've never had a problem with DK28 and I strongly suspect that if you have, it's due to a PEBCAK error.
It's not a PEBCAK error. It's been experienced and documented by several other users:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922428&highlight=dk28+modem+zip
I've tried about a dozen different things, but the lowest common denominator is that I've wiped my phone and used odin to restore to the stock DK28 leak to no avail. A consensus seems to form that my phone may just be moody. I've already begun steps to exchange it, although I'm far past the 30 day window...
Have you tried flashing back to the stock modem and rom, then reflashing to DK28? Instead of just flashing the DK28 modem again.
Bye bye as this is a troll thread...
Its not a troll thread.
I'm going through this right now.
Unfortunately, I'm stuck with my no-phone for a few weeks as I have no computer here >:|

I had similar glitches with DK28, but they were usually resolved by rebooting the phone or turning data off/on. The last straw for me was when my daughter tried contacting me for and emergency. She was unable to get a hold of me because my phone and data had literally stopped working without warning. After rebooting the phone, I had nearly 20 voice mail messages from her and others throughout the day. The next day I want back to 2.1.
Since, I have replaced the Epic with an EVO. The epic is still in my desk drawer waiting for the day Samsung gets their heads out of their asses and update it.

I'm a Vibrant owner who has been setting up my gf's Samsung Epic. Immediately rooted that beast and put TrulyEpic on it. That ROM was killing her battery life in less than half a day so I switched her to the Bansai ROM and it's the same deal. Is this standard for Epic users?
Leave your girls epic on stock di18.
Not worth putting dk28 on someones phone if they can't do it themselves. There's just too many bugs, no matter which froyo rom you run

No ****? All right, thanks man.
People think that since this problem hasn't occurred for them it must not exist. It's obviously an issue for some of us. As for remedies, I've tried, cycling data, airplane mode. All no good. The funny part is it'll pop - and work for a few hours- then go back to being an expensive mp3 player. I've even odin-ed to DI18, problem still persists. Take the phone back, give sprint hell. And while you're giving them hell, ask them where the hell our Froyo update is.
Dk28 is very buggy. Load a custom rom over it like nebula, bonsai, or truly epic. They fix almost all of the bugs and they are faster than stock
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
If this happens on DI18 as well, obviously its hardware... back to sprint... hopefully youre investing in TEP. If it is just DK28, try that GPS fix, may sound like not related, but it is just doing it the meticulous long way, which in the long run works great. I have never had a real data issue, but GPS I never got better than 10 meters or whatever, did that method, locked in 3 secs to 2 meters... crazy. I think not all the pit, modem, etc files are created equal... you may lose something in DL from some crappy free file hosting site, your flash may miss one little thing because the Samsung Drivers are crap... Theres so many variables. But the majority of people don't have any of these issues... so either you have software issues, and need to go back to stock, then it works fine... or if not, Do a tried and true method to get to DK28, and then see if it happens again. Data dropping could be so many things... location, how settings are tweaked... did you try the 'want better 4g signal' thread? It also links to a 3g fix that I think was also found to help on the EVO... just sayin... theres fixes out there, this is a totally unfinished build, what the devs have done with it is amazing.
That said, unless you want to be designated tech guy, keep her on stock. Unless she absolutely needs Flash, or wants to have 500 apps on her phone... she will probably not miss out on much, its power users and those who bought docks and HDMI cables that are really getting the shaft.
Has anyone else have trouble getting a good data connection with cm7. It pops up every once in a while and shows maybe one bar. Most of the time it shows no signal. I have done a search and cannot find anything.
It is fairly common, but I think it might be more of an icon accuracy issue...My bars are never really full, but I get great connection. What kernel are you running?
I am running Kang's new voodoo kernal. I was debating on trying a new radio like that ka6 to see how it works. I am a little reluctant though.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yea...I've been thinking the same thing, hesitant to mess with the CM7 build too much.
Flash another modem. Modems are very YMMV, not one works the same or as well at every location. With that said, I never had any signal problems running CM7.
If not broken, do not fix it. Data is fine, icons are not. I'm just going to wait for an official build to be solidified.
That's what I'm going to do also. Just sit back and wait.

wow, i frequently travel with my phone and i've never experienced that issue. i would try flashing a stable ROM (like Trigger, Bionix, Axura; the 2.2s since they're near perfect compared to the 2.2.1s and GB ROMs) and if that doesn't work, it might be a hardware issue.
really hope not. Gonna rty to flash trigger right now!! Hopefully it solves the issues!
I was just thinking on this issue and here's something I should've asked earlier:
How old is the SIM that you're using? If you are having trouble gaining signal with the phone, maybe your SIM could be old or damaged. It's a long shot, but it's something to be considered (I think). I mean, if you had no troubles finding the signal, then maybe the cut on/shut off problem will stop.
Thanks Ill bring my phone in to my provider and test another sim card! hopefully this solves it!
I had this problem since SC roms but now I have Evil froyo rom and having alot more missing calls. My friend told me that he called me three times but didnt get any....i really dont care about the multimedia but phone calls!!!! phone should functioned as it should be but its not...so anybody knows how to solve this problem...?? I tried to do *228 thingy but still doing this...
What radio/modem are you using? Try using ED04, if you're not already on it. I had your problem before and ED04 seemed to help.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Go back to eclair with ea28 radio. There is no froyo rom/radio free of this issue currently available. I have tested all radios available right now and had missed calls on all of them. ED04 made it even worse actually.
I've tried numerous radios, roms, and kernels and am currently on stock ED04 with the same issues. I think ED04 is actually worse on my phone as well. I've read about quite a few people having the same problem and the overall consensus is that it's a hardware issue.
For ****s and giggles, Odin the EC09 radio. I personally use it and find it to be pretty nice, much faster data speeds, and it MAY fix your issue.
It's not a FroYo deal, it's a network issue. My wife's Fascinate is still on DL09 and she has missed calls too. A lot of people believe it is an issue with LTE affecting 3G, since the problems started popping up around the same time LTE was flipped on
Call and complain... They know it's a known issue, but they are not fixing fast enough. It's pretty sad. I miss calls from the wife and boss... You may even get the droid charge...

Yeah I did call and they offered me another Fascinate, Droid X or D1 so nothing that I could accept. The only upgrade that makes sense available right now would be Charge but had no luck convincing them. Right now I'm testing EC09 leak modem and so far all calls came through (as far as I know) but it was just 2 days so it's too soon to know if it helps or not.
They won't offer me jack... Am I saying something wrong? Hahaha
This freakin issues is pissing me off since i got this VZN fascinate imported here in India ,
and its not NETWORK its just bloody FROYO and FASCINATE , somehow all froyo ROMS have got this crap issue.
i have started inumerable threads about so many ROMs and setups but this issue always keeps coming back.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that the GB roms wont have this bug..
Just to keep myself connected i have yesterday flashed back to dl09 debloated and using ed04 ( i know its full of crap this modem is , but i am giving it a shot with dl09 and so far in last 24 hours havent missed a single call.
I'm on hold with VZ tech support right now, I can't stand this bug anymore.. I'm trying to find a new job so I can't afford to be missing calls
edit: they're sending me a new fascinate.. might just have to buy another phone and use my fascinate as an mp3 player
Trying out the EC09 (gingerbread) radio.. I may not know anything for a few days.
I have been having this problem every since I started using froyo
if I switch back to eclair it is gone
It is not in the radio
It has to do with the phone going in a deep sleep it will not wake up
The deep sleep is causing other issues with sms, mms, alarm not working when set all because it will not wake up
Alot of problems Same cause
The only way I have found to stop this is go to Eclair

boot up

Been using it for couple days. Nothing new to report, went back to ED03. If we could just get the stability of GB 3G signal I would be a very happy camper.
+1 for the EA28 modem, at least for my phone in a VZW marginal reception area where 1x reigns supreme. Easy to get the missed calls, by attempting calls during bootup, sleep-wake, busy with GPS/aGPS, etc.
In my particular case, ED04 made things worse. EC09 was much much better. EA28 had the least missed calls as far as I can tell (n=1). YMMV.
