[Q] 3G Data "hangs" on Tmo Defy MIUI and CM7 - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm hoping someone has an idea about this one as I'm pretty stumped. I'm very familiar with running custom roms on my Samsung Vibrant, and picked up a DEFY for my wife a few weeks back. The stock rom is so bloated that I wanted to put something on the DEFY to make it run well.
I've tried both the MIUI.us and MIUIAnroid versions of MIUI, and CM7 too, and have run into the same problem. Everything will be working great for a period of time, and then the 3G data will just stop. The 3G indicator will still show a solid signal, but the small arrows will stop showing any data coming/going. Emails/browser/Facebook ets (anything that needs data) will no longer work, and a reboot is the only thing to fix it.
If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

internet/data issue due to different rom?

Anyone here seeing some data issues on the D2 running Fission? I am in a major city, and it seem like I am kind of having some data issues since I starting running Fusion, specially when browsing the web. The internet seems to lag a bit, and connection seems a bit slow(good bit slower than normal). I got a message few times relating to the data connection. I want to say this could be a network issue, but my sister with a Droid Inc, says here data is fine? Any ideas?
Called VZW today up asking if there was an issue on their end, and they said no. Tech then told me to take out the battery for 10-15 seconds and they try the internet when back on. Tech said it could be due to the phone not properly switching from one tower to another. It did work, but about 2 hours latter I was having the same connection issue where pages would no open up, and data was a bit on the slow side. Did the same method again, and that worked. I didn't have this issue on the stock D2 rom, or with my Eris(well that always dropped 3G reception, this is full bars with connection problem). Could this be due to me being on Fission 2.2.2, or is it whole different matter not due to being in Fission? Thanks

Im running 2.2.2 and im not having that issue. My girl has a D1 and she gets the same crappy service i get i really dont think its the rom. And i dont think there is enough of a difference between 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 to have one get different reception than the other
Shot from my level 60 crossbow of awesomness!
Maybe it just my phone then? I guess will see what I can do.
Have your tried a root reset with a reinstall?
I have been having this problem, Data will just stop working all together. Text messages won't get sent or delivered. The 3G icon just shows uploading and not downloading or stops showing anything at all. I can't fix it unless I turn on Airplane Mode then back off or reboot the phone. Right now I'm running Fission 2.1 but I ran into Data issues with the default R2D2 rom.

So the issue your having is not related to a fission rom...
So, I may have solved the issue. I started clean again; cleared all data and status and stuff, then reinstalled 2.2.2, and then hard rested. Only thing I did different was not install the black status bar and all seems fine, and data seems normal.

I hate to say this man, but from my experience, the more "stuff" you throw on top of a rom, the more bugs your gonna encounter. And youll never have the same bug twice...
Why is that?

The issue may have arisen again, but I was on the market, so it not clear if that was the market issue many people are facing or it was a data issue.

Im not a dev or anything, but here is an example. I was having problems with a rom i was running last night, reboots and such. The very first thing the dev who made the rom asked me was if i was running a theme. Now, im not saying you shouldnt use custom themes or addons with these roms, but every device is different and will react different. And when your flashing 3-4 different themes over a rom trying to find one you like, or flashing addons then trying to undo them your gonna create some issues. Of course, and i remind you again that im not a dev, this is completely based on my experience, and opinion
I guess with themes that can make sense. I wonder what team defused has to say about this?

HBOOT-0.35.0017 and 3g connectivity issues read here

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.
Follow the instructions on this thread to downgrade (AMOLED NEXUS OWNERS ONLY!):

After downgrading back to HBOOT 0.33.0012 my connection problems vanished (still running the same CM7 nightly)

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.

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.

Flaky mobile data on certain roms

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with my legend presenting a flaky mobile data connection on certain roms.
The stock 2.1 rom that shipped was working fine, however while it was running cm (all versions since 6.1) the mobile data connection would only work occasionally. If it wasn't it would just continuously light up the upload arrow on the status bar, the download arrow dead, and nothing would happen.
I recently tried ogo2's gb sense rom, and surprisingly the internet worked fine in it, especially since it runs on a cm kernel. While a brillilant rom, the heaviness of sense 3 and the battery drain from the dialer mean it can't be my rom.
I figured maybe all sense roms would be good then, so tried out blay0s 2.2 rom. However it is also turned out to show this problem.
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? I would love to be able to go back to CM, but the not working internet drove me crazy after a while.
My APN settings are definitely correct btw. Thanks for any help!

Signal problems Nexus S 4G and ICS 4.0.4

I have had my phone replaced 4 different times and I have the same problem with each one. Whenever I update to a ICS ROM (stock or CM9) my Wifi and Cell signal goes to crap. I lose 10db on my cell signal and my wifi drops a bar or two. Also, my phone seems to randomly lose my data connection and doesn't come back unless I reboot.
This really kills me because I already have bad signal at home at work so it makes my phone useless.
I am probably going back to Gingerbread because of this unless someone can help. Any thoughts?
dear i have also same problem
dear i have same problem plz give me gingerbread link to dowload that version
i am very worry about this plz help me
thanks
kernel
Try changing kernel, like AIR Kernel.
