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

Try changing kernel, like AIR Kernel.

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.

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.
Hey all. I do not know any reports about this so I wanted to make a thread revolving around it.
I do not go out much and have bad data plan, so at home I really lie using Wifi, or anywhere where a spot is available. I noticed now though that after activating the wifi, it can take time, but every so often the wifi would still be connected, but all data moveent halts, as if clogged hole, hence description of the problem. After you close and open wifi connection and it reconnects, everything goes fine until next clogging.
Is this problem specific to me only, anyone else noticed this?
Is this problem 2.3.5 and .35 kernel specific? Is anyone on 2.2 froyo and .32 kernel having this problem?
Custom roms: does current MIUI for example suffer from this?
I am trying to find something abou this, if it is U8800 harware specific problm, then I just continue dealing with it, but if it is software based, I will try to fix it. Even if it needs downgrading or anything.
Yes, had this myself... It's very annoying and it usually happens if I reboot when Wi-Fi is already on, or wake-up the device from sleeping when wifi was on. But I can pretty much detect when it happens, the "Wi-Fi" icon stays gray, which means it did not connect to Google servers properly.
It's not hardware specific, I'm 90% sure it's the kernel (like all other fails in .35). I was using CM7 based on .32 before, and it had super fast Wi-Fi with no fails.
Yeah. I can get little by luttle more nnoyed by the anticts 2.3.5 - i should do the trick for pink screen and reinstall froyo. Is there a froyo mod for the quick wifi access and stuff from notification bar? Ah, like i need that if after it my wifi works perfectly.
No wonder official huawei.com site and product catalog do not list it as 2.3.5 device or offer update for it. For now I really think I am better off downgrading and waiting in lay...
Hi I recently installed ICS 4.03 on my Motorola DEFY
Since then i have seen that my phone hangs a lot and also the biggest problem is that there is not network.. It fluctuates a lot is it happening for other users as well..

OPen the base Band Switcher,It is in advanced option in the settings.Choose an appropriate one.Another thing about hanging up.The 8th march build by quarx is buggy so u might want to wait for the next nightly
Thanx a lot.. i read a few posts and found the answer to it..
the problem i am not facing is that whenever i keep the phone idle for some time... the signal bar on my phone goes colourless hence internet stops(full signal remains) .
Its shows full signal along wid the E sign (although i use 2g) but its colourless instead of the usual blue hence i am unable to do internet on the phone..
i then have to either reboot the phone or toggle the mobile data On/Off option to get it starting again..
I read that somewhere 3G stops after being idle to stop excess data usage .
can this problem be solved without such hassles of togging??
do please excuse me, as im in no way a real guidance to your issue. As im a newbie and using a miui version, and not a cm.
but in case im mistaken, theres an option of saving battery (at least in stock rom of the defy) that makes wifi signal go out after 30 minutes when the screen goes off.
Even more, lots of battery optimizers have that option, and may be (im just expeculating right now) thats the case in that cm rom you have....
Try going to the battery settings and disable the "power save" stuff.... and test if it keeps on happening for you.
Remember that wifi costs LOTS of energy. and youll have to ask yourselve if isnt better to just toggle on/off the button and get much more time of "awake" phone instead of having your phone die because you go to sleep and forgot the wifi on.
First check internet is working without install any software after flash your phone.....I also faced similar issue but after I found out one of my software(call master) is the reason for that issue..
So try this one

Hello,
Im having a most frustrating problem. Im not sure if its a modem issue or a hardware issue. What I am experiencing is this:
The phone shows no bars, but sees a carrier. This happened after flashing back to a stock GB rom after using a CM9 rom. I can receive texts and calls sometimes, but its not consistant. If it shows no bars I can get a call, if it shows one or two bars i cant, but get the missed call notification. I have done factory resets, cache clears. Its really making my phone unusable. I went back to using my 3 yr old Ericsson till I can get this figured out. Im hoping that someone has some advice for me as Im out of ideas. Ive tried to flash just the modem but no luck. Went from CyanTablet to xxjvt 2.3.5, rooted it so I could get the modded recovery. The pins for the where the sim card make contact are damaged but it has worked for the last 2 months that way. I really love this phone and dont want to replace it yet.

test with a network booster to increase signal strength, free from google but if you bring phone to another location, do you get a better signal? meaning location matters, if you far from your network cell site, its more difficult
Ill try the network booster. All of my old phones pick up 5 bars, I live about 1/4 mile from the cell tower. I have tried another flash with 2.3.3, repartitioned this time. Once its back up and running Ill get back to you. Is there anything else Im missing? Well I think its dead. Ive tried all my coworkers sims in it, nothing came up. It says no service permanently now, guess its a 4" tablet.
Try another radio, i had the same problem wit JW4 radio,flashed JVT and problem solved.
Some radios are better than others in different locations, it also depends on rom used.
I tried a completely new build, flashed a new modem, then flashed xxjvu. Still nothing, going to call Samsung and see if I can get the warranty to fix it. 2.3.6 tho has 364 megs of ram and has almost 200 free, thats cool. zsjw4 has a new look to it.
[Q] Wifi Issue with LG-D802
Hi all
Few days ago i receive my G2 and quickly updated to android Kitkat (Never experiencing Jellybean on this phone before),
I started to have some issues with the wifi. The wifi appears to be connected but sometimes there is no data transfer and wifi automatically disconnect even in the strongest signal area (the router is just below my desk of my phone) and the wifi settings was still turned on.
This occurs with every router from normal to the strongest connection.
Besides the connection drops also occurs on this phone which there is no internet connection even when the wifi is connected
So is this the wireless hardware issue or anyone experienced this before? Would like some suggestion please, Thanks!
So... just to make sure, you are running the default/stock ROM with OTA update to Android KitKat right? I am currently running CM11 nightly, and sometimes it has issues with connectivity (wifi/LTE). Let me know.

Yes it is running stock LG rom at 4.4.2
Here is what i would try:
1. Try resetting the phone to see if the errors go away. Maybe something went wrong while upgrading
2. If the problem still persists, and you are expert at ROMing - try installing a different ROM to see if this is related to LG's ROM.
3. Get a replacement if under warranty.
Just to let you know, KitKat does have some wifi issues. Some people are reporting issues with 4.4.2 and not with 4.2.2.
Hope that helps.

I have reset the phone after i face the problem after the first day of use. However it does still appear but not in a very frequent like minute or hour basis. The connection drop and wifi disconnects occurs randomly during normal browsing/playstore/ social apps activities. I guess it was very hard to get for replacement under warranty if the problem was not really significant (occurs 2-4 times per day) although it is still under warranty coverage.
Thanks for your advice, i am currently looking towards in accessing device debug log to try to proof them there is something wrong with the wifi on the phone.
For me the same problem happened and i found out the solution by lowering the band of rounter to 54mbps only
