[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.

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?

[Q] Random Reboots

Ok guys, I know that there are posts about random reboots but it seems non have a solid solution. My Hd2 has started doing these annoying reboots for about a week. I was using Tyweens NexusHD2 2.9 and all of a sudden reboots started. So I switched to Typhoon CM7 3.5.7(currently on phone now). Reboots still occur. So I did Task 29, wiped sd card, plus clean install of Typhoon CM7 3.5.7. Phone still reboots. It actually rebooted during setup. I even changed from Magldr 150/5(suggested) to 200/45 thinking it was memory related. Still rebooting. I have noticed it does it more when WiFi is on. Is there something with the latest Android 2.3.5 and Wifi? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No not at all.

I'm having the exact same problem... but strangely now even when I try older gingerbread builds, it does the same thing. Its only been recently, too... I've had the phone for a while and I don't remember it doing this.
I can have the, same build and same gps libs on my wifes hd2, and hers won't reboot. Mine will.
I even went as far as swapping out my mainboard with another one I had from a cracked screen issue... and that didn't solve the reboots.
I can't figure it out. It must be gingerbread and certain phones. Ive tried 2.3.5, 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 and they all are now rebooting. I don't know why its only been lately, too. The, only thing that solves it for me is running Tytungs NexusHD2 ROM v1.9 Froyo based. I can even add the latest agps fix and don't have any reboots. Only thing I really miss from gingerbread is the DSP bass boost which makes a huge difference for my bluetooth audio via my car.
Remains a frustrating mystery to me.

I always set this as my default wifi policy since I am always connected at home. So that's a no-go for that tip. At least for me, personally... still reboots.

So far the only thing that works at home is to turn off 3g.
I am trying Rafdroid 4.2 and so far has not rebooted away from home.

Rafdroid is a Froyo based ROM - same with the NexusHD2 v1.9g build that I'm using and so far no problems.
But when using any gingerbread (sense or non-sense) / CM7 build, I am getting those random reboots. Sometimes so much to the point where the phone is unusable. Then there are times when I could go hours without any. I thought it was something related to 2.3.5 since that's right around the time things started going strange, but like I noted - I've downgraded to 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 - and the same thing is happening. I used to use Hyperdroid GBX 7 for months without issue... now when I load it, it gives the same result. Same with Hyperdroid GBX v12, Hyperdroid CM7, Typhoon, stock bravo based CM7 Nightlies, AmericanAndroid, NexusHD2 Gingerbread version or anything Gingerbread based - period.
It also seems coincidental that the reboots started right around the time when Tmobile issued a bulletin asking for user input about recent unusual high battery draining with mobile data. I really haven't followed up and I don't know if it was determined what was causing it for some users but I am thinking maybe it could be possibly related. I can't explain why my wife's phone can run the exact same ROM and not experience the same thing yet mine does. It seems like an isolated issue - I don't see a lot of people complaining about the same issue lately. Maybe it has something to do with a specific mainboard revision/manufacturing date and some kind of over sensitivity to mobile data power output or something. As I noted in the prior post, I did switch out the mainboard with another one that I had laying around. I did take note of the revision manufacturing date stamped on the board, and they were identical. And both experience the identical problem. My wife's HD2 was bought 3rd party from a private owner at another time separate from when the 2 HD2's I have on hand were purchased. Perhaps she has a different revision/manufacturing date.
The two mainboards that I am having a problem with have a date of 2010/03/16 - they are both identical.
I would take apart my wife's to check her date and am willing to bet it's something different, but I've had really bad luck picking apart these HD2's the few times that I've done it. I've broken wifi coaxial cables and ripped flex cables. The date is stamped on the bottom of the mainboard.

Same behavior here - had random reboots multiple times per day until I switched to 2G only (only adjustment I made)....have not had one in over 72 hours of uptime now.

OK, I can now pretty much confirm my original hypothesis about the mainboard. I have switched it out with one that was manufactured in late 2009 according to the timestamp on the board, and that's eliminated this problem for a while now with Gingerbread entirely.
The exact problem is beyond me, but unfortunately I stick to my guns that it's a hardware issue. Not sure why it would affect Gingerbread so much more than Froyo but my guess would be it has something to so with mobile data power management or something of the sort.
So for those saying that turning 3G off counteracts this rebooting effect, try a good Froyo build to keep your 3G connectivity. The reboots didn't happen nearly as much as they did wile running Gingerbread for me (although I would get 1 or 2 every few days).
Unless you can get your hands on another mainboard... or another phone.
Replacing my HD2 entirely for now wasn't an option for me... it's the only "Android" phone that I can run with the grandfathered 5.99 Tmobile web. Any native Android phone is identified by tmobile from its IEMI and forced to upgrade to a smartphone data plan to work with mobile data. They just happen to allow legacy (less than WP7) Windows Phones work with that old data plan, which is what the HD2 is.

+1 switching to 2g sucks but works,my wifes hd2 works fine though like others have mentioned. this is crazy lol
BTW all these reboots stated for me when to mobile messed up their signals and was causing android phones to have high batt drain.

Where can i switched off 3G beacause i've the same problem with reboots?

I have notice mine does it when I am at home using WIFI and 3G is on. If I turn 3G off all is ok. When I am out and about I can turn WIFI off and 3G on and no problems. Wacky.

i had a similar problem on my hd2 tmobile with coredroid 1.6 on it..
Random reboots have become all too often, usually when i start applications and i did not want to waste any more time so I changed the rom...

I would get a random reboot every two our there hours until I took of all my widgets except for two and I haven't had a random reboot in about 2 days and I didn't mess with the 3g signals. but my phone still has battery drain issues

Re: [ROM][NIGHTLY] CyanogenMod 9 for Motorola Milestone 2 (Android 4.0.4)
This is kinda sad, that I can't reply directly to the ROM thread, but here it is, I just hope someone will tell them, or see it to adress these problems correctly:
There's a couple of problems with this ROM. First of all it loses the data connection after sometime of inactivity. Browser won't load anything, asking to check the connection. Going to settings -> data usage -> mobile data switch -> turning it off and then on solves the problem, but it's kind of annoying to do that five to six times a day.
Secondly - just after flashing this ROM keyboard backlight was working fine. But after installing the gapps it stopped. Just won't work. ((
Third(ly))) - Apollo app crashes at random when trying to listen to podcast/music from sdcard. Also annoying. Disabling data connection seem to solve the issue tho as it stopped crashing yesterday.
Fourth - some sensor shanannigans when you're trying to use chrome (games are fine with it) while charging. Random zoom-ins and stuff.
Fifth - and most terrifying. Sometimes it loops, as if I was repeatedly taping the screen at the center or somewhere near it. Can't even reboot when it happens. Power button to lockscreen seem to solve the issue.
Otherwise this ROM is smooth and good and I like it a lot. Using it for a few months now.
Big thanks.

The Data connexion loss is a recuring bug for some, mostly people who have a Carrier that use roaming (ie : use another's carrier's network). No known fix for know, but some people seems to have it working "better" by disabling data roaming/national data roaming in options, but it's not for everyone, since some carriers require that to be toggled for data to work.
For the Backlight on the keyboard, be sure to check if the automatic gestion of automatic backlight is activated, it's required for it to work. There is too a "fix" for the problem in the last 5/6 pages of the main topic from memory, but don't recall it exactly, so you'll have to dig to try it.
No idea about Apollo, but it seems to have quite some quirks, and most people use other players so not sure about it, maybe start by checking the Apollo dev's page and market comments to be sure it's not related to Apollo but to the ROM.
The "random sensor shennanigans" while charging is something that happens to a lot of people, i think it's a multi touch bug from the kernel, but not sure (ie : not really solvable by the dev, unless he finds a way to remake tezet's fix (i think it was tezet) or we all use CH kernel since it seems the bug isn't there in this kernel [ wtb a way to use custom kernels :/]).
Your last problem is a weird bug, probably linked to the ROM, but i must admit it'll be hard to pinpoint, since i don't have it but my brother do, while both phones are the exact same model, and flashed the same, in the same order, with the same sbf/rom versions and so on.
I guess you can try to make a full wipe/factory reset (only backuping data you REALLY need to keep like contacts/sms/call log and so on) and redo your phone config, because as far as i know, the only difference between my phone and my brother's is that i had to did that again after i screwed up a couple times, installing an app that was bricking the phone (took me a few wipes to identify it), it might be the reason why i don't have it and he does, or not.

[Q] Can reboots be caused by location?

I'm have troubles with my HD2 randomly rebooting itself for apparently no reason. Initially I had a barebone CM7 ROM, and it seemed to reboot much more frequently when I came home from university. As soon as I got home for this break, sure enough, it began rebooting again. I then switched to a CM10 ROM, thinking it was just the previous ROM messing up, yet the problem persisted.
If it's not a ROM causing it, what could it be? It's really annoying having the phone shut off randomly while I'm doing something, and I'm worried it'll end up worse just because of how frequently it reboots.

overheating? failing touch screen? dodgy battery? failing hardware? faulty/fake copy SD card? old/wearing out sim card? some app that doesnt play nice on the hd2?
they can all cause reboots on multiple roms, along with another half a dozen reasons, i'm sure.

If the phone did reboot from any of those, it still wouldn't explain why it doesn't happen when I'm at school. I'm not exaggerating; once I go back (about ~126 miles away from home), it never reboots like this. At this point, you may be thinking, "Why not just wait to go back?" I have only two semesters left, and I want to get this fixed prior to me moving back here.
But nonetheless:
overheating?

I thought this was the case at first as well, but I uninstalled all my apps on the barebone CM7 ROM, and reboots still occurred. Even after doing a fresh install of this CM10 ROM, the phone rebooted before I even began installing apps to it.
Are there any files that don't get changed by flashing a new ROM? I was thinking that it could possibly be the modem I have flashed to my phone, but I wasn't sure if flashing a new ROM automatically changes the modem as well. Can I get some insight on this?

By modem do you mean the radio? It's unlikely to be the radio itself, however it could be something like the phone struggling to switch between 2g and 3g,,try it with the phone in only 2g mode,, perhaps you have a faulty cell tower in your area,,unlikely but not unknown.

Yeah, sorry about the terminology haha. But thank you, I'll try that and report back!

So disabling the 3G didn't change anything, but I noticed a drop in the frequency of reboots when I disable my wifi. Could some of my router settings be messing with the phone? I tried deleting the network on the phone and re-adding it, but the reboots remained consistent.

still sounds like hardware really, as suggested.
does it reboot even with the phone in airplane mode?

But the phone doesn't reboot when I'm in the city where my university is located, only when I come back home. That doesn't really lead me to believe that it's the hardware.

I have the same problem with the
[1.Dec.2012][All in One] EvoHD2v10 ICS 4.0.4-full HWA "Fastest ICS ever"
it reboots more than 3x a week!!!!!!!

For me, it can literally get up to 10 reboots per day, when I'm in this particular city. It gets very aggravating, and I'm worried about the stress it's putting on the hardware by constantly booting back up.
Anyway, I decided to say **** it and start from scratch. I don't think it's a hardware problem, so I decided to go back to the beginning. I formatted and re-partitioned my SD card for Native SD-compatibility. I flashed Xylo's 4.1.2 PA ROM. Now it's time to use it like I would normally.
If anyone is experiencing the same problem as me, or reads this in the future with the same issue, I'll try to keep the post up-to-date with what stopped the reboots for me.

dont forget to clear out your sd card, , leftovers from previous roms can cause issues. Easiest way is to flash teh new rom, then immediately in CWM do a wipe data/factory reset, as this clears out both fat32 and ext folders.

AW: [Q] Can reboots be caused by location?
I had the same problem with my fathers HD2. I installed clK before and it rebooted the last time quite often.
So I reinstalled everything. I started installing the official HTC WinMo 6.5 Rom.
Then I've done Task29 and installed MagLdr and then a Radio which Supports 576 MB Ram. (I think it was 2.15.xx) , repartitioned it for BlueOrange Mix Rom 1.2 (The best I ever installed so far) and flashed it in CWM.
So the HD2 is running since 150 Hours without any Problems.
P.S.: Task29, MagLdr, Radio Installation and Repartition has been done in HD2 All in one Toolkit.
Greetings by Myself5 and I hope I could help you.
