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

I posted this in the Q&A section, but have not gotten any responses so hoping someone here might have an idea.
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.

[Q] AT&T HD2 Android Data problems

Hey XDA maybe you can help me out.. I;ve searched the forums and cannot find a solution to what is happening to my phone. I have a SIM unlocked HD2 and in the WM rom im using (Chucky) the EDGE data works just fine all of the time. However, the minute I boot into Android, and I've tried multiple roms, the EGDE data will work then stop. No matter what combination of turning off and on the data, changing the monile network settings, WIFI will turn back on the data connection. Ive tried booting into Android with and without radios on in WM and basically everything I can think of. Ive changed APN settings as well.
I really dont know what is causing this. and im currently using radio 2.12.50.02. If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. Any questions i will answer.
What android build are you booting into? What Kernel? Have you explored your build's thread to see if others experienced similar data drops?
I have a euro hd2 on att edge and I don't have any issues with the setup in my signature.
I'm currently booting into Hyperdroid V1.6 with a kernal version 2.6.32.9-r11_n38158-g184606d-dirty [email protected] #159. Ive looked at nearly all the pages and placed searches as well but can't seem to find anything. I have a feeling it has to do with the fact that im using AT&T but WM EDGE works just fine. I should mention WIFI works fine in Android but on the power coltrol widget on my home screen the Data button (with the arrows pointing up and down) is red even when turned off. I'll try your set up later tonight, thanks for the response.
EDIT: I tried your set up and it was the same case. Sometimes I'll boot up and EDGE will work for a while then stut off randomly and other times it wont work at all after boot up.
Have you tried rmnet vs ppp? Others have had success using rmnet when having data issues.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Sorry for the late reply. I have tried both and it doesnt change anything. What I have found is that my data will work for anywhere from 5-60 minutes then stop working all together until the next reboot. I have no idea what is causing this or what I can do to fix this.
many others are experiencing data disconnections depending on kernel and build. I don't think this issue has anything to do with at&t. Keep trying kernels and builds.
Just an FYI, having the same issue with the following setup:
Copes CM7 (Android 2.3.2)
Baseband 15.36.50.07U_2.09.50.29_2
Kernel 2.6.32.15r8
Build: GRH78C
Fixed
You just need to look for a ROM and kernel that works. NAND are the best for battery life by far. Just keep looking you'll find one

Have you tried entering into the phone's advanced settings?
Using the dialer input: *#*#4636#*#* then go to the radio option and select GSM only. Then reboot the phone (not necessary, but let's just do it for good measure, it'll only take a minute) and report back!
wondering if u have found a solution to this yet...
I know that I'm digging up an old thread but, has anyone found a working solution to this? I'm on EDGE and it is painfully slow when I'm trying to do anything on the phone even though my phone shows full signal. Also, the signal will drop out every once in a while and I have to turn airplane mode on and off to get it back. I'm think that I have the correct APN settings. Currently I'm using Rafdroid 4.2 with his 2.0OC kernal.
Thanks!

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?

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!):

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.

Kinda the opposite for me. No data issues when i tried CM 6.1.1 but on MM Gingerbread i had no data connection at all!

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.

[Q] 3G Data "hangs" on Tmo Defy MIUI and CM7

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.

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.

[Q] NexusHD2 ICS v2.7 - Data connection problem

Never posted in these forums before, since I've never suffered any problems with my HD2 until now. So I will post it my way.
Background info:
I have been using tytung's Android ROMS since he was developing Froyo, starting with MAGLDR. Since then I've been constantly upgrading to his next releases. When cLK eventually got stable (around the latest stable GB releases I think), I switched over to that bootloader. Not having any problems. When ICS finally got it's HWA fully working I switched over to this. I had never encountered any problems with my phone ever, which I am greatly thankful for... That was until now.
My problem:
Approx a week after installing tytung's NexusHD2 ICS v2.7, I started having problems with the phone's data connection in general. When I turn on the phone, it MAY get signal to my data carrier. Sometimes I do, other times I don't. I can try to put the phone in "Plane mode", and back to normal. But that has the same effect as when i turn off/on the phone. Other times when the signal bar shows that I either have full or 50% signal (two dots), I am not able to call, send sms nor browse the internet at all. WTF!? I have tried disabling the WiFi but this has no effect. When I search for data providers(carriers?), I may find all of them after two minutes of searching, I'll find none OR it will search for ever and never come to any conclusion.
Searching:
I have searched through nearly the whole developement thread, and also searched through this Q&A thread, but I can't find anyone who suffers the exact same problems as me. There are some threads and problems similar to mine, but none of their "fixes" has killed the problem for me.
What I have tried:
- Tried the WiFixerFree-solution
- Tried different (older) kernels
- Tried flashing older tytung releases (2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6)
- Did a fresh install
- Extending the system partition (in case of bad blocks)
no success
I don't think this has anything to do with tytung's newest release. It's just weird that this recently started happening, especially after working so good for so long. Does anyone have any clue on what I can do now?
Disassemble your phone and make sure the antenna tabs are touching the contacts,I did this and sure enough one was not touching. After reassembling, full signal was restored.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
Omg found the stupidest solution to this irritating one week-long problem.
I tried to extend the system partition even further. Weird that this solution rarely have come up as an option in the forums.
Hope this is helpful to anyone else who may suffer the data drop-problem.
EDIT: Nope... Just a temporarily solution. I can't understand why this should have something to do with the hardware, when I haven't done anything that could harm the phone in any way. But I'll do it asap, and report back. Thank you for the tip.
The 3g connection not working and I can't even use the gprs and I can't enter APNs to let the phone access the internet please please please help me
Now I can use the internet only through the Wi-Fi connection!!!!

Any good news? I have this problem also, after flashing 2.7. I have restored my HD2 back to my previous backup, but still suffering this problem.
The 3G/H signal jumps between 0 ~ 4 bars, but most of the cases it has 0 bar, then switches to edge. If the internet get disconnected, it cannot reconnect automatically. have to turn off data and back on to connect to the internet.
I flash the latest radio, no help. reflash the sd card, no help. reformat the phone, no help.
The last thing i want to try is to part my phone and reconnect the data antenna

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190180
if nothing helps/i break my HD2, then it is time to buy a new phone.
Reporting back. Just installed int2ext+, and can report back that after only 3 minutes of use that my data dropped... again. I were not able to call, and neither send sms or anything.
I will get the needed tools to disassemble my phone and TRY to fix the connections. When this is done I will report back again.
Thanks for all tips I have gotten so far! I love this community!
Fffffffffffffffff
NAH! Just disassembled my phone and straightened up the pin that was the problem for this guy
After 2 minutes of uptime, the signal dropped to two bars, then after ten more seconds it dropped to zero... Now it is back to "normal", doing random bumps from 0, to two to four bars. Soooo... f*uck
The pins were my problem, I only have data dropout when going into the market or sending/receiving MMS's now.
i have similar problem too.after using wifi tethering. 3g IS not working anymore till reboot. sometimes 3g automatically change to 2g and vice versa
Any solution?
