First, as you can assume, i have the HTC Hero...since i was not satisfied with the 1.5 version ( android ) i updated it to 2.1 ( Eclair version )..now the problem is that when i add the APN settings, it starts the 3G network and i don't have any option to "close" it...on the 1.5 version i had a the Wifi, Bluetooth and i think Data connection, but now only the Wifi, Bluetooth... so in a summary, i can open and close the wifi and bluetooth but i can't regulate the 3G network, when i set it, it starts and there is no way to turn it off...
So does anyone has an idea how to solve this?
Thanks in advance
How about when you hold the power button, do you get the "Mobile Network" option to select there?

No, just the silent option, airplane, reboot or turn off...
The irony is that when i turn Wifi on, the 3G also turns on...but when i close the wifi the 3G still works...
It seems i have the Nexus One software on my Hero, i received a mail from google, welcome to the world of Nexus one... OMG...

Maybe ask in that thread.
Or flash a diff ROM and see if you still have the same issue.

Im using MCR3.2. (Link in my signature). Fast and stable,... No issues whatsoever. But it is still only an Android 1.5 ROM. I'm planning on adding the 768mhz overclock kernal to it tonight, hopefully will fly like a Legend then.
Ooops,... Sorry
You not the only one with this puzzling problem wkulen! Same rom as you, and it seems I can't close 3g even with that APNdroid is set to be off! It looks like it still using data from 3g - hope not otherwise it could be a costly mistake!
i've got the opposite problem...
ROM: current official...
My 3g or data internet connection sometimes doesn't turn on when I switch off the wifi. But it happens most of the time, but not all the time. What I normally do everytime is to go to Settings/Wireless controls/Mobile network settings/Network operators - and I "select automatically". Then my network data kicks back in. It's a hassle but I don't know what else to do.
Well i keep loosing singnal on my HD2:
Spec:
NAND HD2 CoreDroid HD V1.6 ANDROID 2.2.1
RADIO: 15.40.50.07U_2.12.50.02_2
NETWORK: ERA *POLAND*
Signal Strenght: -89dBm 14 asu UMTS
I can loose singnal for about 30 minutes and it wont find anything. Then obviously i get 0 dBm. I have had the newest radio but i have changed to that to see if it solves the problem, but it hasnt. So im kindly asking You guys for help and Your opinions.
Thanks
Try if switching to 2G networks only in the settings solves your problem, this did the trick for me.
I only switch it off for fast 3G downloading, solves the missed call issues for me too.

For me when I was in Poland radio 2.14 or 2.15 solved the problem.
I am now using 2.14, I can see that you are using 2.12 I would change that to be honest and install other radio, just experiment a little and see which one is best for you

True but i'm unsure if its a network related problem or android because i flashed so many roms with different radio's always experiencing the same data conection drop problem when 3G is on.
So i just flashed back to the stock nexus build to stay.
I wish i could use the full potential of my device too...
(The menu to switch on only 2G network is only available on stock android rom, not on sense roms etc as they use their own menu styles)

Im now definitely sure that its not a hardware related problem as i tried 4 different EU HD2's and they all had the same problem after flashing android.
Now it's only to find out if it's a radio - android compatibility problem or just a flaw in android itself.
Ok,, now again for the 10th time , i started over from task29 , up to installing radio 2.15.50.14,, then boyppc v25 rom,,, and i guess this worked for me, i still have the connection dropping but less often than it used to be. it happens maybe once a day.
isn't there a developer who can help us find out what is the problem and develop a solution for us???
Hi All,
Since I got my DEFY I have WiFi problems. This issue only exists when WiFI has WPA/WPA2 PSK authorisation.
It is going like this: I connect over the wifi. Then connection works fine, I am able to browse www, check the emails etc, and after few seconds, minutes the connection stops working but still exist. I try to reconnect several times. Defy shows that is connected but nothing works fine. Internet apps or Market gives a message like the time is up, connection lost. I have to forget the conection in settings or reset device to get it working properly, but not for long.
And the thing is that there is only ONE ROM that works fine with WiFi on my DEFY. This is Cyanogenmod-7.1.0-RC1. Other ROMs have same issues. Doesn't mater if it is Cyanogen mod 7.1 stable or any MIUI or MS2Ginger. I tried almost all roms but nothing helped. So I had to go back to CM7.1.0-RC1.
Do you know what should I do to make WiFi working fine on other roms?
greetings,
Gregory
p.s.
Please, just don't tell me that I should change authorisation on WiFi router. This is not a solution for me, because I use WiFi in a lot different places.
Same problem
Hi,
I have the same problem with my Defy since a few months, no solutions!
I have the *EXACT* same issue. Was about to roll back to stock and send it in for repair, glad I found your post! I'll install the ROM you suggested and keep hoping this gets fixed
just fixed my wifi issue for the second time. If there are to many remembered networks no more wifi. You can turn it on but it cant find any. delete all remembered networks and back on line. that is the only conectivity problem I have ever had after months of cm7

I think that's a different problem than we're having. It is finding the network just fine (and connecting) in our case. It's just that internet connectivity refuses to work after a few minutes, forcing us to disconnect-reconnect to get it working again
@OP: Thanks a lot! The ROM you mentioned does indeed not have this problem. It's not as stable as some of the more recent roms though, think I'll still be forced to revert to stock
i had exactly that problem with my first defy, no solution man, i send it to warranty and they give me other
maybe changing the regulatory domain channels from 11 to 14 could help. this option is hidden by default, you have to enable it: change the value of 'ro.debuggable' from 0 to 1 in /system/bootmenu/config/default.prop, save and reboot. after that, the regulatory domain setting will be shown in settings/wireless/wifi/advanced. simply change it to 14 channels.

I'm looking into rolling back to a stock Froyo rom but the information is scattered all over the place, I'm having a hard time figuring out if it's possible, and if so, how ;/

OK, maybe I just passed the signpost but... do you still have the problem if you set your "select network" setting to 3G only?
I ask because (and it may be different on my phone as I am USA, stock ROM with wifi calling) if you go into the INFO menu > phone information > set preferred network type, mine toggles between three radio preferences: "GSM only" (when wifi is active), "GSM auto (prl)" and -- if I set for 3G Only, "WCDMA only".
I have noticed that when "select network" setting is at automatic (or 2G only) it often has trouble transitioning from cell to wifi. And, when wifi is an issue, I find that "GSM auto (prl)" has been selected (which on my USA phone prevents wifi connection). However, it seems to have no issue whatsoever transitioning from "WCDMA only" (3G only) to "GSM only", which on my phone then allows wifi connection. Again, this is a wifi calling phone so may be different.
Yep, same here BUT ! I get root browser, found my build.prop and change wifi chanells first time for 14 and it didnt help so i try other and my wifi works in 100% with 13 chanells. Try it
This is a widely know problem, many people are affected more or less. I'm also having nerve-blowing times with wifi sucking all over... Stock Froyo (and now Cyanogen 7.2) seems to be a bit more stable, sometimes everything is fine for a few hours, all downloads go lightning fast - and then suddenly things are screwed up. I tried a lot of MIUI releases as I like it most. MIUI seemed the most problematic so far. I don't know what is the cause, new stock Motorola Gingerbread ROM versions also have this issue (except one I think - look it up in the forum).
Agree, bothering with the router is not a solution. My Nokia E51, my EeePC, my girlfriend's Omnia and Lifebook - all work perfectly with all the four routers we use frequently. Not a single glitch - everything is stable and nice, except Defy.
I don't think is a hardware problem with certain devices, it seems more to do with the way Defy handles wireless connections.
Anyway, it's frustrating but CM7.2 and CEE Froyo gives a bit better experience than others.

No, problem still persists. Sometimes it works flawlessly for hours. Then... suddenly screwed :S In some cases a "switch wifi on/off" workout can help but not always.

Which Froyo version do you use? A few times this wifi-bug occured also under Froyo. I'm thinking about going back myself, as Froyo is the only acceptable release to record hiccups-free videos
After a couple of days of using my Nexus 4 i've noticed a problem with the way it handles the transition between Wifi and 3G internet.
Usually it works just as expected, when I switch Wifi off (or just go out of wifi range) it automatically switches to 3G internet (coverage icon in blue). The problem is that sometimes, after switching wifi off, it doesn't turn on 3G data (coverage icon remains grey). The only way I can get 3G internet back is turning Airplane Mode on, and then off again. ¿Am I missing something here? I've seen other people having this problem with other phones, but no workaround yet

I think this is just a network coverage issue. My old mytouch 4g slide had the same problem. Usually it switches quickly if I'm in an area with great reception. If I'm somewhere with weak reception, it takes a little longer.

Well, I don't think this is a network coverage problem because when this problem happens, it can stay for hours with no 3G internet, it just doesn't even try. But then I switch airplane mode on and then off again, and it achieves 3G data connectivity almost immediately. Also, with the same SIM card I didn't have this problem with an iPhone 3GS.
Well, i've been investigating a little bit, and I've just found it in the AOSP issues tracker as "Android Issue #2207"
I've also found some apps like "3G Connection Fix Free" that seems to try to fix it
I'll try them and report back my findings
I think I have this problem too sometimes. I think my phone has other issues, I'm about to send it back to Google because it keeps dropping cell signals as well, but I definitely have this same problem.
Yes, it happened to me as well yesterday.
After I had more than ten hours at home using wifi, it can't switch to 3G automatically when I left home. The only way I did is reboot the phone.
But if I just connected to wifi for few hours it is OK.
Before I use One X, I don't have this problem before, but the problem is I can't access to internet once I am using wifi for more than 36 hours about.
I think there is big problem for Android system related to wifi and 3G access.
I don't think it's a nexus issue at all. It is definitely something else. My phone hands over form wifi to H+ in a matter of seconds every-time.
I believe you might have a coverage issue.
I am having the same issue, and can confirm it is NOT related to coverage. A reboot of the phone will immediately fix the problem. Have also tried disabling the mobile network, then re-enabling it, with no success.

Well, nothing i've tried has worked so far. It looks like if it stays connected to Wifi for many hours (for example overnight), it just won't switch to mobile internet unitl I reboot or do the airplane mode trick. I also have wiped everything and reinstalled the stock rom, but the problem is still there. Has anybody fixed it?
Had this problem with my Nexus One, with my Transformer 300 and now with my Nexus 4.
I use German provider O2 and after doing some research, many people suffer this problem and have O2. I thought it was related to my SIM card and I ordered a new one without success. My wife has O2, too. She never had a problem, not with her HTC Desire, not with her Galaxy Nexus.
I worked around with free app WifiFixer Free, which connects to 3G every 60 minutes. This doesn't seem to work on Jelly Bean, though.
The problem is all but new and I am out of ideas. I now use an app that enters and leaves airplane mode upon leaving a Wi-Fi network. But it yet has to prove that it works...
Any news in here? have the same problem and don't know how to solve it. It's so annoying

In Connections/ More Networks/ Mobile Networks/Network Mode choose GSM. You can choose LTE if you want but unless you are in an area that has non-stop LTE coverage, you will face the following bug: when your screen is off, it will lose the networks and stop mobile data. That wont happen when the screen is on and its really fast. So the solution would be to have the GSM option ticked and that way you still have mobile data even with screen off

I tried all radios and the problem persist.
Everything works fine on google editon, but I have to say that samsung roms are much usable.
Solution:
Do not use roms based on mj7, use roms based on mj5 or go back to 4.2.2
I have tested all radios many kerneles with many mj7 based roms and always had this problem.
With mj5 based roms and rom based on 4.2.2 android everything is alright.

Nop. That doesn't work either. It still drops data connection if you set phone to 4G/3G/2G, and you move with your phone on deep sleep to a low 4G coverage area. It gets connection back as soon as you turn on the screen...
Any other solution so far???

I don't have any of those.
I'm having this issue too after updating to the most recent CM nightly. I thought it was the nightly, but after after multiple wipes and even different ROMs, I still seem to have this issue. My mobile network drops as soon as I put the phone to sleep. When I turn on the screen, sometimes it connects automatically, sometimes I have to airplane mode and back. If I change my mobile network to 2G (gsm), it stays connected. Wifi always stays connected it appears.
